dedeike: Mr Ignorant, I want you to contact an Architect to design a 5 bedroom duplex for you on the sand filled marshy lands on lekki and see how much he will charge.
Look at how you carefully dodged all the numerous contracts awarded by this govt at FEC meeting yesterday and decided to make a mockery of the cost of designing such a bridge as the second Niger Bridge.
By your post, you displayed crass ignorance of the workings of govt procurement processes. For your information, the public procurement Act 2007 precludes anybody from advertising and awarding any contract without making funds available. No govt relies on tendering fees to fund projects. Get your facts right

Oga do you know what/how a tender system works?

edicolove: This thread is a proof beyond doubt that most GEJ critics on NL only read the headlines. They don't read the articles before they start posting their hate posts. If they are not blind haters, they will surely read the full articles.

This thread should be bookmarked!

Dude for once quit licking GEJ's ass and be reasonable. Billyonaire is not a GEJ critc but he also "complained" about the said amount.

asha 80: why 17 out of 18?what happens to the one remaining one?as for the phcn guys,i wish i had pity but what you guys have done to me would not allow me to.

The transmission company has already been privatised.

uncleb: bros, 90% of those guys cannot survive in private entities. i have said this to PHCN staff in my areas times without number.

And all we need is just competition in the industry, people will sit tight of course.

The PHCN staffs you know are the meter guys and all you need is ssce to do that. Go to the generating stations(Egbin, Kanji, Jebba) and you'll realise that this is a blessing for most of them.

cripnip: i've downloaded what is at github and your attached picture is sufficient. i'll work on a console version.
by the way, the project has no name. even in github, you guys are still using the summer thing. i suggest we name it fast as we don't know where this might go. perhaps with a poll?
i'm calling my console app 'budget-9'. 9 for 9ja.
by the way, what does the MDA in MDACode mean?

MDA == Ministry Department Agency

edicolove: How can such men refer to one person? Is men singular or plural? Please educate me. Maybe I will learn something new today. You never know! Lol

Read the text in full and you will know.

edicolove: Normally, I don't respond to pettiness and side stepping. But for the benefit of many on here I will respond.

The essense of talking in public is communication. Clear and concise. If people have to go back to school to do PhD to understand Bakare's statement, then he has failed woefully as a communicator and public speaker. Please do not indict him more. His words are simple as can be "when such men of low estate" does not need to be explained any further. That demography is probably around 80% or more of the Nigerian population.

That "such men" in his statement was refering to a particular person not the people in general.

For those who don't understand
Shoeless doesn't mean poor cos the beggars i see in lagos are poor but they all wear shoes/slippers.

Skii: Ehen, what were we saying…

“When the shoeless takes over, he does clueless things. When such men of low estate find themselves in power, terrible things begin to happen.” He added, “It is the timidity of the inferior that prods them to cover up. Deep rivers flow in majestic silence.”

Shay this is what Bakare said that you are deducing he meant Nigeria is only governable by the rich?

For a start, what or who do you define as poor?

Because in truth, the word poor is relative and it depends on the context in which it is being used. Either way, it means not having or lacking in…but not having or lacking in what?

You want to tell me that someone who is very intelligent and highly intellectual is poor? Or someone who is highly talented in art, music or any other skill is poor? Certainly not!!

It is only in Nigeria today, that being poor generally refers to the lack of material things (whether you agree or not) and this is a pity. But I really cannot blame those who think this way. Years of “suffering” brought about by the terrible things (such as corruption and embezzling of state funds MEANT FOR ALL) that happened when such men of low estate found themselves in power and their celebration has brought upon them this mind-set.

These terrible things that have been perpetrated over the years and in all corners of power (not just with Jonathan or the FG) have eroded all the moral and value systems of our society to the point that the real things that should describe wealth or richness that ought to be rewarded such as sound character, honesty, accountability and STANDING UP AGAINST THE INJUSTICE AND PERVERSION OF POWER are now being discredited or ignored. It is now the other way round…

SUCH men (and not everybody) of Low estate as is being referred to here is the classifying or umbrella term for those who are not necessarily lacking in material things but are POOR (lacking or not having) in morals, having no shame or character, lacking self-control and self-discipline and the likes!!

Bode George, James Ibori, Alameiseigha (however his name is spelt, the one that dressed like a woman to evade identification at the airport) are examples of men of LOW ESTATE!!

I could not have said it any better.

shemy: Please,what type of nigerian foods can one travel with, and also which is the best economical airline to travel with? Thanks

Quater airways or turkishairways i guess but since they are not direct, the change over times might be as much as 18 hours.

Good project in theory but as Kobo and some others have stated, how sustainable is the project.

cripnip: i'm now watching the github project.

perhaps the db format should be put up there too. an sqldump without the data would be nice as i can't seem to figure out the yuml.me thingy (or isn't it what kobo referred to as 2 pages back?)

also, maybe we should arrange the project into bin, res and src folders for binaries, resources and sourcecode with the excel and sql data under resources.

You are right. I'd work on that over this weekend. I'm also trying to do a mock up of the front end so work can start on them too.

Kobojunkie: Like I said, you do not need to code the client in C#, simply write code that mirrors calls to a C# Service like those methods in there. There is absolutely no reason why the front end should be delayed for any reason because of the backend technology.

[quote author=Kobojunkie]No problem

Any C# person here? Kobo would be busy for a while and we need to continue.

Kobojunkie: Azed, check your email please.

Seen your mail.

Dharkchild: @justwise, what's a landing card

The airline will give you. If not when you land ask for it.

DEDEIKE
Can we see your updated list of achievements?

redsun: Nigerians are still very much in the dark. They are not mentally elevated yet to demand and appreciate freedom.

That should be the focus of the politics section in my opinion.

torkaka: if p.imp dog p.imp (pdp) is gutter and the opposition are not any better,what are you suggesting? the military?

We start taking responsibilites and stop blaming past and current leaders.

torkaka: at the bolded, you can't treat these issues without bashing good old retarden!

Dude i know but i was thinking more of 2015. we are already in gutter with any administration from pdp. The opposition are not any better. The only alternative is educating your fellow Nigerian, be more proactive towards making 2015 count.

The politics section is usually filled with the retardeen camp vs the 40 laptop squad headed by the server himself but if you an ordinary Nigerian like me then you will know that this does nothing to better our lives.
I believe that majority of the people on nairaland have a functioning brain so how about we start using it for something productive? We can call GEJ a r.etard all we like,it wont change a thing.
I think we should spend more of our time and energy focusing on the many issues of Nigeria and planning how to get this old school thieving politicians out of the system. Social media has changed governments around the world so why cant we use nairaland to change the politics of Nigeria.

I know we have problems like "na my brother mentality" and those who believe if you criticise somebody it means you are jealous bla bla bla, but if we don't deal with this now, we should just forget about ever having a good country whether its called Nigeria or Biafra..

Please how do i get a committee job??

Kobojunkie: Please add me, Kobojunkie, as a member.

Done

Kobojunkie: @AZED, time to get a github account or something going. I am not able to upload more files here, and I probably need to share what I have with others so we can work better than this. Please look into creating one for the project.

https://github.com/azdonald/Nairaland-Summer-of-Code
Thats the github link.
Do you have a github account so i can give you commit access?

You should do your project by yourself.

[quote author=Rhino.5dm]Funny, How the "single ladies" came all out to attack the OP.

Am very much interested in this thread, cos I have a friend which is extremely pretty and a medical doctor with car and house, but still searching and it bothers me much.

#Just that I am married, would have marry her.[/quote]Bros make i send my cv

Javanian: Good Morning guys, @ Spikes C and all who might be interested in the front end i have just uploaded it to sourceforge this is the link https://sourceforge.net/projects/javawebservice/files/ . The name of the file is "Website Template.zip". it doesn't look nice and its just a page. When you open it you will get an idea of what I'm looking for. @Spike c its now over to you...Please put your best in it

Any other person who is interested in doing the front end can also download it, make modifications and upload it to souceforge

Babe you no dey go chuuch

Javanian: ok..
1, you can do the web/graphic design(front end).
2, you can help test the web service on a PHP Application when i eventually deploy it.
3, you can also give ideas on adding more functionality to it.

You can choose 1 or take all 3...i wouldn't mind

probably 2 and 3.

I program in php and vb.net so where would i fall in?
Oh by the way, i can't really do any coding until tuesday. I've got lots of work which i have to finish asap.

Javanian: hmmm...i intend hosting it and making it free....also i intend learning from it...thats why i invited you guys to contribute and assist me...

Ok... I would help

By the way, are you using the project to learn something or because you are trying to fulfill a need?

Javanian: but what nah??

Currently contributing to a Nairaland project(https://www.nairaland.com/930302/2012-summer-code-work-commenced) and i dont want to make a commitment i can't honour.
