Hahahaha... Keep putting me in such category. Nobody is perfect , even God has both his good and bad sides. Tolerance and understanding are what we need to live in this mysterious life. All men cheat , both good and bad ones, i cant certainy leave a 'good cheater' but when it keeps occuring, i'll have to leave; Habit is easily formed than to Jettison. I'm not feeling too special, infact all human beings ain't the same, the palms on our hands ain't even the same, there are lots Of pecuarity differences. Stop categorizing me as those ladies, So u know nothing about me. Its a free world by the way

Sorry Oga,

You said Nobody is perfect. But then went on to say that even God has his Good and bad sides.

Really. God is Good. He does no bad. Heis not a man.

Just thought you probably made an error here.

Netanyahu caused a war to remain in power . It didn't work and he ended up in digrace. Now he can face his fraud and corruption cases.
I still cringe at his action of ordering Israeli police to go fire at unarmed fasting Muslim worshippers while praying inside the holy site mosque and during the holy month of Ramadan He chose to fight his fellow man at a time he is aware the man is fasting and obviously weak physically, and he chose the one he has already conquered. Netanyahu is narcissistic!
No emotional intelligence and all brawn! The 11 days war and the subsequent loss of lives of, especially innocent children, was completely unnecessary.visit www.freestuffsng.com for latest freestuffs in Nigeria. May God bless Isreal and Palestine . May God bless Nigeria my fatherland too.

Losing an election is not a disgrace.
Unless the aspirant (as in the case around here) had tied winning to his /her ego.

Service (in high office) is a privilege from the people. If they don't want you again, fine. Move on.

IF this statement is true after all, then the man MKO was no saint & would probably not lead Nigeria to it's desired destination.

He would have been a fair or Good Politician as a President but probably nothing special to warrant the 'beatification' nowadays as a democracy saint.

Beancounter93:
Muamba is doing all right (he eventually went back to school and got a Bachelor's degree in journalism...he also did very well in secondary school prior to becoming a professional...his O levels were good enough to eventually get him into university if he had so chosen)..but he was depressed for a while afterwards...and had to see a psychiatrist and psychotherapist.

Nice.

I actually agree with you.

I meant to say that the mind becomes somewhat closed towards FOOTBALL even though he could still play for sometime after recovery.

Of course I know he could pursue other love endeavours.

OlawaleBammie:
I knew, they hardly play again, same thin happened to OUR OWN SAN IKER CASILLAS FERNANDEZ

Isn't it too early to tell?

I am certainly no medical expert but isn't the effect of this more psychological than physical?

Fabrice muamba comes to mind. They really may recover physically but the mind really doesn't.

niyisky:
The rate at which Lagos is developing...I just pray that these set of brilliant minds will continue to lead the state.

My only concern is the level of migration from other states is high, thereby putting so much pressure on social amenities.

Other states needs to wake up and begin to work.

Not so.

Many people would prefer not to have to live in Lagos if certain infrastructure were made available.

Consider , for instance, if 2 or 3 Punctual (Speed) train journeys were available to leave Ibadan & Ogun through Mainland to VI & back daily.

You can be sure that a lot of people (as in US & London) would live outside Lagos and come in just for work. But they would probably not do this.

Also, Viable Ports should be built outside Lagos.
I mean VIABLE, not just nominal ports.
Naturally the hustle & bustle in Lagos would reduce. There are those who like Lagos for it's bustle but many don't.

Coldshisha:
People get mind.... Still living in Chibok

No.

More like people get mind.... Still living in Nigeria.
Every situation has a relative perspective to it.

Over the last 20 years, a war has been on in Afghanistan. But people still live, school & work there. Same with Iraq, etc.

Things are not always acutely the way they seem.

Nobody (Needs) Twitter.

Social media (including Twitter) is a great tool.
But we probably have forgotten what the word "needs" mean.

Need : To have an absolute requirement of.

Does a human have an absolute requirement of Twitter? I doubt that.

FarahAideed:
Sold at an average of 53 dollars and currently 73 ..Buhari is a failure

That this administration has performed poorly is not in doubt.

But I think both the President & this OP aren't making the right comparisons here.

The right question should be what's the (Real) Inflation adjusted price of the commodity over these years?

Not just the nominal prices. Nominal prices can be deceptive in inflationary environments.

Cousin9999:
9. Go somewhere cheap (e.g. Spain), and work remotely.

Spain ? Cheap?

University education in Spain isn't particularly cheap.

Good universities charge > €17000 for Msc programmes tuition. Unless by cheap you refer to
Loving expenses only.

Cheap is what Eastern Europe is [Tuition & Loving]
But the best of job opportunities [I hear] aren't there— and the institutions lack the name brand cachet for those keen on it.

Jostoman:
They are not Yoruba group, they are APC member in ogun state.

That, more than anything else, make them a Yoruba group.

alcuin:
Every government in the world recognise the fact that Social Media companies should be accountable and regulated.

The problem though is that there's no generally agreeable (always) definition of what regulation is.

To some of these guys regulation means allow only what [I] support. Every other disliked movement/voice should be removed.
So who's right?

Social media companies aren't doing worse than any single nation in defending human rights. In many cases they are doing better than most countries. Last month, a president in Europe brought down a plane because his "enemy"was on it. Let's even forget about Nigeria. While these social media guys aren't perfect, I can't really see
much effective criticisms other than "do what I like" from critics.

eddynaira125:
Person Don pay bride price, u dey ask y e call d lady he wife, that your question will b answer by the Africa leader that ban Twitter yesterday

IF the woman is already his wife (as you've said), why is the Registrar's abscence a big issue to them all?

They all don't need to be there. Unless the marriage is deemed "incomplete" without the law.

Just asking.

So sad.

On a lighter note though, the groom said : "My wife is in there..."

Why is he calling the woman his wife IF the Registry's endorsement hasn't happened— and is deemed important?

Morale: We probably give these institutions more value than they're worth.

What even constitutes a recognized marriage.

Traditional? Court registry? Church wedding?
The jostle for true authority between these institutions is really strong.

EasternActivist:
Onions or no onions we mooove.

Onion will soon start getting cargo shipped from china into Anambra

A trailer load of onions was looted in Imo.

It would not make economic sense to fly onions, would it? Tell yourself the truth.

If it did make economic sense, Onions would have been shipped (by flight) by now.

God help us.

Righteousness2:
When a wise man/woman or Nation sees Mysterious Calamities, He stops and ask himself what is Happening!
A Foolish being will continue to put his/her head until it is Cut off!

Iranian Leadership should Hands off Israel Directly/Indirectly ASAP.
These Mysterious Disaters are not mere Coincidence.

The Handwriting is Clearly on the Wall!
The wise in the Nation Should be called to interpret the Writing on the wall.

But An investigation would have to be carried out before deeming this mysterious.

Could be an unsafe act / condition that resulted in this.

Since you know it's subjective, I feel success can better be established at death and when a man is deemed right to have made heaven.

God help us so to be.

HolyMonks:
Most federal workers are Unprofessional.
Going without aides what did you expect.

That's not really an excuse.

No aide would likely have saved him from those men.
Besides if he had several aides, we Nigerians would still complain that an aide has personal aides AKA high cost of government. The killing was senseless.

God help us.

Northurmate:
The moment a truck loaded with bags of onions was hijacked and looted in Imo state.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxhmUeO8pBw

So sad.

It's always quite difficult for me to accept that the average (SEterner) is any different from the average Nigerian. Some claim they're naturally better than us all.

And yes. I know that not all who leave in Imo is a SEterner.

sexylassie2:
1-I am not a dude
2- when building a site from scratch, you need three people, a designer, a frontend and a backend( designers and frontend don't need maths, any body can learn that) , note: I am not talking about modifying word press templates.
3. My main focus was about building complex system with back end functionalities, maths is very important.
4- countries with stem based curriculum have better programmers than countries without.

I know what I am saying,I am not in programming myself but I work in a security company that have built in house security softwares, all our programmers are all sourced from ukraine and poland the reason is simple because of strong focus on stem.

True True.

But could it be because vendors/Employers have little confidence in Nigerian developers.

I know that most Nigerian based developers aren't as capable as foreign counterparts but everyone needs to be be given a chance to seize.

What we see is that even for basic BI projects & Enterprise Data projects, a lot of Customers(company) totally bypass Nigerians and seek foreigns. Usually the ones that call for a Nigerian developer does so because he can't afford a foreigner.

OgogoroFreak:
Decent people are boring... Life is too short.

Boring isn't bad.
Actually overstimulation fueled by social media & instant gratification has heightened our craving for excitement.

Most problems in the world would not be if people just sat still & maybe read a book.

LagosInter:
I may not be a marriage aficionado but you just succeeded in citing or concentrating on only negative stuff.
It's akin to citing accident cases as a reason to not own a car or use one.

You have a point. But you too aren't comparing apples for apples here.

First, In a car (as a driver) You have an almost total control of events in the car. All human driving errors would be caused by you alone. Consequently you can avoid a lot (excluding the madness of other road users) by following all relevant driving rules YOURSELF.

On the other hand in marriage, it takes 2 to tango.
If you're putting in all the work /support to make things right and the other party isn't trying you're doomed. Both party have to be committed.
YOU CAN ultimately only control yourself.

God help us.

Cheers.

OLULAW:
Exactly what do you mean? I'm a successful professional guy. No regrets. I have a bedmate not a wife, and we can spilt anytime. Marriage is a farce. Bringing new lives to this troubled world is disgusting.

I am referring to the story of your family friend NOT yours.

Even though I am not supportive of your approach,
I totally respect your decisions.

OLULAW:
Two weeks ago, I visited a friend's family home in London as we haven't seen each other for more than a year due to COVID-19 lockdown and restrictions. The 40-something old wife looked like she's in her late 50s. My primary and secondary school classmate and friend complained about the following, in spite of the fact that his wife is a very senior nurse-Band 8-with BSc and MSc degrees from Russell Group UK Universities.
1. She consistently leaves her hair untidy. Only tidies up when leaving home. At home she looks like a grandma.
2. She farts carelessly, even when her hubby is seated in close proximity having his meals without apologising. When challenged, she rages that it was as a result of medical conditions. She doesn't deem it necessary to say "I'm sorry " whenever she farts, accidentally. The hubby is simply expected to suck it up.
3. She has mouth odour. Hubby advised that she takes brush and tooth paste to night shifts so that in the early hours of the morning, before AM shift colleagues arrive, she should freshen up. Also before coming to bed that she should freshen up 'north' and 'south'. The advise fell on deaf ears. As such, they haven't kissed in 5 years and sex life is perfunctory. He simply doesn't want to end the 20 years relationship because of the kids.

What do I take from the above? These are some of the reasons why relationships disintegrate. Women take things for granted. They think marriage is a bond and their husband are forever trapped. This friend is very bitter, saying how do you enjoy sex with someone whose 'north' and 'south' leaves much to be dedired.

Being single seems preferable these days. It's so easy to move on. The world is already overpopulated why bring more lives into it. This is why I remain a chronic bachelor right into my very late 40s, and have no plans to marry. I have mutual friends, NSA, instead.

Are you for real ?

optm:
it can be difficult getting a partner willing to build life with you. Infact , You could get depressed from the nagging when the reality of struggling to meet up with bills sets in. Our value system has greatly changed and what worked then might not work now.

That's the challenge with being of diverse generations in conversations such as these.

Declinism (tendency to see the past as better) at times doesn't allow them see how changing circumstances make previously achievable objectives much more harder as time passes.

For e.g. It's just like Li Ka-shing teaching you how to be a real estate investor in Hong Kong today.
Great . But it's (very likely) impossible to be as successful as he has been since circumstances available to him (even though he's a brilliant Businessman) are none existent now.


Another factor people in 'successful' marriage play down on nowadays is the compromises of their partners to making the marriage work.
This is because the party making the compromises never tell them. They (that party) bear the burden as their life's cross. While the less compromising one often goes around touting how successful they've had the marriage.

The day this compromise stops (God forbid) everything unravels.

God help us.

Kingof2nations:
What is gulak doing in IMO
What happened

What kind of a question is this ?

When has it become questionable for an adult Nigerian to visit any part of the country if he/she deems it fit?


God help us!

BKayy:
when the people say they don't want you, you become an invader and terrorist if you insist on staying with them or at worse forcing yourself to rule and control their future.
what Nigeria and their allies should be pushing for now is referendum not more military men that will still die in Igboland.

As for those that will quote me to talk rubbish. That is those that come here everyday looking for my post to quote and say "you are burning your house down"
Tell me what we as Ndigbo have to lose?
Tell me.
It's not like we have ports to lose,
or International airport to lose
or Equity and Justice
or free flow and transport of goods,humans or services
or International firm's that will run away
or civilians that you might kill for the first time (you people kill them for sports before)
or Security (when crime rate is dropping after police checkpoints were dismantled)
or Leadership (we don't control our future. It is no news that an Igbo man cannot be president of Nigeria unless he is detribalised. That is another way of saying that he must hate his tribesmen and won't represent their interest)
Just tell me what we as Ndigbo have to lose

Onye no na ani anaghi atu egwu ndida "someone who is on the floor is not scared of falling"

I'm not even experienced in Politics.
But I know enough to know that an Igbo can be the President of Nigeria.

Ask yourself, why did Buhari fail to become the President of Nigeria since 2003 despite trying hard at it to achieve that goal?

The most plausible answer is that No SINGLE group can win the Presidential election on its own in Nigeria— including the north— Except the group "joins" forces with multiple smaller groups or ANOTHER major region.

E.g. the deciding difference between the 2011 election and the 2015 elections can be reduced merely to change in support of SOUTHWEST group that previously supported PEJ. This switch to PMB virtually settled the result.

Atiku/Peter Obi would hardly be able to win elections on the support of ONE major region alone. You need alliances. Alliances (in Politics) does not mean you TOTALLY agree with everything about your allied group. Alliance means to make compromises in achieving your political aim by committing to political synergy.

Here's where some Igbos (In my Opinion) get it wrong.

They bring in the toga of having been "successful" in business/private life to "expect" to succeed politically. It's not enough. It doesn't work.
Love it or hate it [one of the limitations of democracy], every man small or great, learned or illiterate, rich or poor, polite or vulgar has the same value (one vote) in a democracy.
This means that to win over people(to influence their support) , You should dwell more on uniting regions and diverse groups rather than ALWAYS making snide and condescending remarks of how naturally superior your group is to these other groups— even though you think so.

Politics is an imperfect sport. To curry support for oneself, you have to forge alliances with people you don't naturally like. Otherwise you'll fail.


The idea that the Igbos can't have a successful presidential aspirant because of Marginalization and fewer states is NOT really true.
The North with roughly 19 states would also not be able to win at the presidential without the support of at least another Major group in the country.


Cheers.

Mikecold:
I don't know what a sensible southerner should be doing in the north


Of all places to get quality education you went to north, his family can even afford covenant University or any low private University in south


So what's the big deal about that barren desert called north

Sad situation.
The North is NOT barren though.
If the North is barren then we (Southerners) are in famine.

TONYE001:
This is wonderful!

We all can see reasons why the tuition is expensive. Good thing is, you get what you pay for...unlike in public schools.

Respect to the brains behind the CU project; respect to the students of CU.

Possibly.

Nice development.

But some of these collaborations involves external funding not borne by CU.

I heard that in the 1980s when Rivers State. University of science & technology was created it had foreign lecturers. Funnily the school is more expensive now (without these foreigners) than it was then — regardless of inflation.

wale377:
Hey guys, I’m a network engineer but I want to try the software developers industry.

Although I use python in my field for network automation.

I just started with JavaScript and I’m wondering do I have to cram the whole JavaScript language ?
Or how do you use array, functions, object etc in building real life software or application.


After learning JavaScript basic what next?

Lastly can a developer do without google or stackoverflow or any developers community forum?

Technically this is a recursive question since — No stack overflow would exist if humans like you and I don't answer questions on that platform.


I once read on Quora that in the 1970s when Personal computing was in its nascent stages developers /Programmers knew to read white papers and related technology documentation indepth since there were few humans to run to in search for answers.

Social media has reduced the difficulties in seeking answers to difficult questions. But it has also made the average programmer too lazy to read white papers and technology documentations enough to know the tech as expert levels.

For microsoft technologies, MSDN existed then (it used to be paid - now free) to read up tech issues.

Matheusmartin:
...we acquire all of these knowledge here in the south only for Aboki them to be given key juicy positions...

Point taken though BUT truth be told NOT ALL
Oil assets are owned by Northerners.
That's exaggerated.

The vast majority of Oil assets are leased(I believe that's the right word ) by Foreign MNCs.
The rest of it are owned by elite Nigerians of northern and southern extraction.

Among the TRUE ELITE they don't care much about tribal extraction.
