39 views and not a word! Wont someone just say 'goodluck' if even you dont know a thing about linux or what am asking? Plz someone should say something. Dont bother about my signature for now

I am an upcoming linux sysadmin; with ability to do virtually everything on a desktop linux box (Ubuntu) ranging from desktop management to users accounts configuration and files permission management. I can rearrange disk partitions, permanently or temporarily mount and unmount filesystems and writes scripts using bash for simple automation.

I want sysadmins on NL to please link me up with any tech outfit or organization where I can work as volunteer while simultaneously learning new linux tech, especially those that has to do with server management and configuration. I have read tons of books on configuration of linux servers but realities out there; I mean in the real world cannot be equated to home self-study.

This is the only thing I want to do for the rest of my life career-wise. And I want to go as far as becoming a kernel developer within the Linux Foundation community withing the next couple of years. But i have to start somewhere.

I must emphasize that I am not really looking for job per se but a way to paylessly work whilst learning and developing myself as a Linux sysadmin. Members plz help with any useful info you have.

Thnks

Give this guy 30 more years to rule Nigeria, the country would be 1000 years behind modern world. Does he have brain at all? Jonathan is gona sell us all

The new Nigerian National Identity Cards launched Thursday by President Goodluck Jonathan, with branded logo of the American firm, MasterCard, have sparked outrage across the country amid fears of serious security and economic breach, with many Nigerians calling for an immediate stoppage of the deal. Nigerians expressed shock and fury Thursday at how the Nigerian Government, through the National Identity Management Commission, NIMC, would surrender a symbol of national sovereignty and pride to a foreign commercial organisation by not only sharing the biometrics of 170 million Nigerian to the firm but by also allowing the firm to boldly engrave its insignia on the IDs.Jonacard

Many Nigerians raised the alarm over the implications of the agreement in an age that has seen intense data surveillance by the National Security Agency of the United States of America, Mastercard’s home country. One commentator said allowing MasterCard’s emblem on the Nigerian National ID Card could only compare to the trans-Atlantic slave trade abolished in the nineteenth century. “The new ID card with a MasterCard logo does not represent an identity of a Nigerian. It simply represents a stamped ownership of a Nigerian by an American company,” said Shehu Sani of the Civil Rights Congress. “It is reminiscent of the logo pasted on the bodies of African salves transported across the Atlantic.”

At the launching Thursday, the Nigerian Identity Management Commission said the cards, designed to also allow handlers effect payments and other financial transactions, will be issued to 13 million Nigerians. At the completion of the pilot phase of the program, 100 million cards would have been issued, the commission said, describing the move as the “broadest financial inclusion program in Africa”. The cards will be issued to Nigerians, 16 years and older, and are expected to serve as voting cards in the 2019 elections. President Jonathan, who flagged off the rollout, praised the outcome of a partnership between NIMC, MasterCard and Access Bank. “The card is not only a means of certifying your identity, but also a personal database repository and payment card, all in your pocket,” Mr. Jonathan said.

Under the partnership, the NIMC is the project leader, MasterCard provides payments technology, while Unified Payment Services Limited is payments processor. Cryptovision is the Public Key Infrastructure and Trust Services Provider, and the pilot issuing bank is Access Bank Plc.jona y The Identity Management Commission said it was working with other government agencies to harmonize all identity databases including the Driver’s License, Voter Registration, Health Insurance, Tax, SIM and the National Pension Commission into a single, shared services platform. For a National ID card project jinxed for decades due to corruption and mismanagement, Nigerians welcomed what seemed like a breakthrough this time, several years after the first attempt at a national Identity Card project ended in fiasco. But the optimism waned after it became clear Thursday the new ID cards, a key instrument recognised by the federal constitution, will not only bear the Coat of Arms and the Nigerian colours of green white green, but also the logo of MasterCard, a profit-driven private entity. “Nigeria’s colours and coast of arms is what should be there. It is not an opportunity for advert for promoting companies,” said Eze Onyekpere, Lead Director Centre for Social Justice. “As far as we are concerned it cannot stand. It is not worth it if that’s what they have done.”

Beyond national pride, many Nigerians spoke of the dire economic and security implications for Nigeria. “Clearly, there are National Security implication,” said Nasir El-Rufai, a former Minister of the Federal Capital Territory. “All these data go to the American payment platform.”

Mr. El-Rufai recalled that Malaysia was the first country to implement a general multipurpose ID card and that the country did so with its own resources and technology to protect its citizens. Economically, analysts say, the deal also hands over all adult Nigerians as direct and compulsory customers of MasterCard. The US-based firm appeared so elated at the outcome of the contract that by Thursday, it hired a media consultant, African Media Agency, to publicise the landmark deal all over the world. MasterCard could not be reached immediately for comments. Details of the partnership between the NIMC and MasterCard were unclear as of Friday.

A former senior government official, well briefed about the process, said the Nigerian government may have adopted the Public Private Partnership model for the project, with MasterCard underwriting part of the cost of the deal. Still, the former official, who asked not to be named, said it was unbelievable that Nigeria could not insist on fully funding such a project at any cost, considering its strategic importance to its sovereignty. “It’s so scandalous that there are countries you present this to and they will be confused,” the official said. “I have never seen this done anywhere in the world.” The Nigerian Identity Management Commission, NIMC, refused to comment on the concerns.

When contacted by PREMIUM TIMES late Thursday, a spokesperson dismissed the concern raised by our reporter. “What is wrong with that (displaying MasterCard’s logo on the IDs)?” asked Ben Alofoje, the Assistant Director/Head Research and Strategy, who is the designated media person for the project.

A PREMIUM TIMES reader,Ola Onanugaola, said of the project, “Good idea but bad implementation. Why do we have to brand the e-ID card? Are these people aware of the huge economic and security implications of the branding.

“Any country population database/information is too vital to attached to any non-governmental organisation.”

For IT related opportunities, I think it is not just enough to have degree in computer science. Most critical IT infrastrutures around the world includin those of oil and gas now run on open source tech. I think if one is to easily break into oil and gas in IT related areas, consider switchin over to text-mode computing, chosing your desired unix variants. Right major multinationals in US and canada are migrating their IT facilities from other unix variants to Linux.

Thnk you sir. So many dreams in my life; both good and terrible dreams. Seems like the terrible ones have upper hand. Had a dream in 2011. I applied for Irish visa. a week b4 arrival of result, I saw myself in an helicopter, with two of my childhood friends. the choper was mounting altitude gradually and suddenly, it started descending and we were back on the ground. cant remember if the choper crashed. a week after, the visa came and it was rejection.

Same year, in another dream I was on bike. A very powerful bike moving at an alarming speed. I was so fast that I overtook quite a handfull of other riders. it all looked like a competition but it wasnt. And suddenly, my bike gradually halted and people that I left behind were moving past me and some of them asking me: hey what happen to you? So I woke

Since then, it is been a rough ride. So many dreams after these. I have had God some secrets revealed to me in dreams and I prayed about them but there has not been positive results comin from those prayers. I believed that once a hidden battle is exposed, the successful overtake of such battle would also be revealed. In my case some battles have been revealed but has not been overcome. Say a prayer for me bro. but am not givin up on God. Its only him I'd continue to pray to. tnk you ebankole and johnwell. Godbless u both

@Johnwell and ebankole. Plz what does lion signify in a dream? couple of years back I had a dream where two lions were lieing on my path. I quitely tried to move without their attention. someone in d dream told me not to run as that can bring their attention to me. Later I managed to enter an uncompleted buildin still hiding from them and one of the lions actually came for me, lookin for me in the bushy uncompleted building. he didnt find me then i woke up.

Again last nyt, it appeared a lion was waiting for me outside. As I managed to enter a room the lion came forward in my direction. I quickly moved and banged the door against the him. the guy staggered back. then i woke up.

Anyway congratulations to our baby

Sincere9gerian: I am the NUMBER ONE supporter of GEJ govt but that does not stop me from criticizing (constructively) actions or inactions of either the president himself or any of his appointees. If APC e-warriors have been engaged in constructive criticisms, there would not have been all the e-fights on this platform.

So basically, You would clamour for his return to presidency next year abi? Only an irredeemably mad man would do that.

ebankole: Sir,my interpretation are not base on copy and paste or computer.

Deal with ur foundation and who ever u choose will stay else,they will be having same dream about u and eventualy leave u.
God bless

Well that was the first. I never got turned on the others that follow. But thnks for your observation and the foundation stuff you mentioned, I will continue prayer over it. thnks

ebankole: @Barrywhyte.
I'll be factual with u.

Yes to your question,and belief me you if you date 5o Ladies you will continue to experience same result,becoz urs is wholly fundamental u need to deliver yousef from fundational power.
You glory is attached to marriage,nd u are nt the time that womanize ofcos.atend church dat do deliverance

[quote author=SEYIKP]@BARRYWYHTE, I WILL IMPLORE U TO CONTINUE PRAYING. BUT THERE ARE THINGS THAT CONSTITUES HINDRANCE TO PRAYERS 1. SIN/CARELESS LIFESTYLE 2. IGNORANCE OF UR RIGHT IN CHRIST JESUS/ NOT AWARE OF THE POTENCY OF WHAT THE NAME OR BLOOD OF JESUS CAN DO. 3. CLOSE HEAVEN FROM GOD HIMSELF, MAYBE HE'S TRYING TO PASS A MESSAGE TO U,OR TRYING TO TEACH U SOMETHING AND U ARE NOT YIELDING. ALL THIS CAN MAKE ONE'S CASE TO BE POTRACTED. CHECK YOURSELF AND BE SINCERE, HE'S MERCIFUL AND HE WILL ANSWER YOUR

Tnk you. Godbless. The truth is Ireally dont knw what am doing wrong. but then I am not givin up in prayers. tnks

Thnk u so much sir.

johnwell: She had what it takes to make your future bright, but the ancestral powers or strongman of your father's house manipulated her through dream because they knew she was spiritually weak,.. hmm (is she married?)

what a sad news, am from such family, but God lifted me above their wicked ancestral covenant/curses, Please call me, so many from this thread has called. in your case i don't have much to say here.

am eagerly awaiting your call.

Omg! omg!! You are right. very very right! You just said smthing that I never saw In all my years that I have been thinkin about this dream. I will call you sir I promise

Johnwell, thnks for helping people and for givin prayer points because thats very important too.

Some years ago I was datin a lady. she loved me dearly I knew that. She loved to marry me. but I didnt reciprocate correspondingly. One day she had a dream and in the dream, she was walking down a path that look pretty and nice and suddenly, this nice path turned rugged and confusing. she seem to have lost her way. then an old gray man appeared to her warnin her to stop dating me; that the end of the relationship would be unpleasant for her.

I really didnt understand the dream until some years later when I looked back into my past and saw how much struggle I have to mount to put my life together. I thought that if she had stayed with me that she truely would have suffered considering the fact that I left university a year after her dream and for 4 years that followed, struggled to make ends meet because of joblessness and spiritual attacks, especially from my father's ancestral line. I cant pin point a single male adult, bearing my family name, that made it in this family. people in my mother's line arent exactly like this. An uncle who managed to build house died suddenly leaving his wife to cater for five children and none is really doing well, especially the males.

Was my ex shown my future by that old man in her dream prompting her to quit?

If you pray over issues like bad foundation and over other issues and nothing seem to be happening, what else can one do?

thnk you

arewanationz: Fvck the human rights and their international standard.

Most countries with zero tolerance on criminal activities often criticized by human rights organisations have the lowest crime rates.

I wish Nigeria would import similar laws to execute terrorists and corrupt govt officials.

You took it outa my mouth. US ochestrated international standard.

Djtm: I used to disable javascript on firefox 17.0 downwards now it's not there anymore. It used to be here (see screenshot below).

hmmmm. Have you googled something?

Djtm: Maybe it's a plugin you installed. I don't really need images off. but sometimes one needs javascript off so you can know how much your web app sucks without javascript.

Not a plugin. I remembered I downloaded a third part software that enable that box to be up there. Now I did that when I was using window. I just imported all the features from windows to Linux when I switched OS. Yea you can disable JavaScript. I have done that before, on windows 7 tho, a bit of googling will do all these for you

Djtm: Maybe it's a plugin you installed. I don't really need images off. but sometimes one needs javascript off so you can know how much your web app sucks without javascript.

Not a plugin. I remembered I downloaded a third party software around that time. Yea you can disable javascript in mozilla. I once did that on Mozilla for Red Hat. I dont often use windows

Djtm: I'm using firefox 31.0 nd can't find any box to disable images or javascript

Maybe you should do a bit of googling. I have the box just here on my mozilla. Disabling images is just a click away. I cant remember if I did this myself

toshodei: Do u know what this means. This means that 9jerians/Africans and people all over the world can get access to most information.

Your welcome bro. Yea thats true

toshodei: Its free for you then, right? Like zero data charges? Is it free? Because someone told me he couldn't access it and that his mobile carrier isn't allowed. So I dont know who to believe.

Not really sure if its free but I think it is.. Someone on mobile can quickly determine that. Pictures are disabled tho and this is from MTN.


I think its free
