Fayimora:
Ok tell me How to run it. I know nothing about c#

How about C++?
This is the same code in a simple C++ class:

#include <iostream>
#include <string>
using namespace std;

class SubstringGen
{
public:
	void GetAllSubstrings(string input, int startIndex)
	{
		int innerStartIndex = startIndex;
		string substring(1, input[innerStartIndex]);
		cout << substring << endl;
		while (innerStartIndex < input.length())
		{
			innerStartIndex++;
			if (innerStartIndex == input.length())
				break;
			substring += input[innerStartIndex];
			cout << substring << endl;
		}
		startIndex++;
		if (startIndex < input.length())
			GetAllSubstrings(input, startIndex);
	};
};

You can call it like so:

SubstringGen substringGen;
substringGen.GetAllSubstrings("fayimora", 0);

Claiming the government has done its studies and verified presence of oil presupposes that nigerian state ministries recruit the best nigerians. That can be proved to be different from the true state of affairs.

You are free to be in love with one politician or the other. Thats your own cross to bear but simple facts will solve any argument.

Show us how the Kwara environment alone in the entire world has been able to do something that has never happened elsewhere: Producing oil from an igneous rock environment. Not even the russians who initially championed the inorganic origin of oil can accept this.

Yes you want oil there, but simple science doubts such an assertion.

CC. the others that are also expecting oil from the Nigerian chad basin side. You go wait tire.

Why 9ja's de yan crap wit confido like dis?

IMHO, we should be honest enough to leave matters we aren't informed about to the experts, it is they who will tell us what the truth about oil in Kwara is, not some NL know-it-alls. Here's some education on commercial oil from igneous rock formations.

[size=14pt]BPE: World Bank Indicts El-Rufai[/size]
Sun, 14/08/2011 - 2:26am | UCHENNA AWOM and CHIBUZO UKAIBE

Damning reports emerged yesterday at the Senate Ad-hoc Committee investigating the activities of the Bureau for Private Enterprises (BPE), as a World Bank report between 1999-2003 indicted a former Director-General of BPE, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, for the lack of proper internal audit arrangement on projects, inadequacy of transparency in some transactions and failure to comply with the federal government privatisation procedures in a consistent fashion.
However, el-Rufai has faulted the claim of the World Bank report, saying that the report is nonsense.

He said, “I think this report is nonsense. I have challenged everyone, including the World Bank, to go through the whole 33 privatisation transactions and tell me if anyone of them did not go through the rules. It must be in the imagination of Julius Bala who succeeded me.”

This comes as the prominent human rights lawyer and former president of the West African Bar Association (WABA), Mr. Femi Falana, said former President Olusegun Obasanjo should be summoned to explain his role in the privatisation of enterprises just as he described the process since its inception as bastardised.
Also, a former director-general of the BPE, Irene Chigbue, said the political drift between Obasanjo and his former deputy, Alhaji Atiku Abubakar, hampered the activities of the BPE. She said the political lacuna at the time created hiccups in the operation of the BPE.

The World Bank report was presented in the testimony of the former director-general of the BPE, Dr. Julius Bala, who took over as the director-general after El-Rufai.
But El-Rufai had during his testimony on Thursday, said the woes of the BPE started with the appointment of his successor (Bala), whom he claimed was earlier dismissed from the bureau for corruption but was brought back to head it.

However, according to the World Bank report, it was revealed that there were major lapses in the retirement of advances and that charges made by the project commercial bankers were deemed excessive and inconsistent.

The report reads in part, “There was no proper internal audit arrangement for the project; a manual financial system is currently being used; there were major lapses in the retirement of advances; charges made by the project commercial bankers are deemed excessive and inconsistent; interest have not been credited on special account balance; expenses dated back to late 2001 and 2002 were submitted in 2003.

“Expenses were incurred before no objection was sought from the bank. The most important public enterprises, in terms of economic and social impact, have not yet been divested. Moreover, the bank expressed serious concerns about inadequate transparency in some transactions (for example, NITEL) and failure to comply with the federal government’s privatization procedures in a consistent fashion. In addition fiduciary oversight and accountability of the Privatisation Proceeds Accounts (PPA) have been inadequate to date, and audits of these accounts are overdue”

But Bala on his part, said that because of the lapses on what he met on resumption, he focused on “a major overhaul of the privatisation implementation through a complete review of strategies for implementation and rescheduling of the time frame for the conclusion of all transactions.

“To prepare the ground for implementing privatisation transaction on major utilities and huge industrial complexes from 2005. Such enterprises include the major utilities as NEPA, NITEL, ports, NAFCON, the steel plants, ALSCON and the likes,” he added.
In his submission at the hearing, Falana said the BPE should be prosecuted in the interest of Nigeria for the way they have sold Nigeria illegally.

He said, “The revelation of what happened is the looting of Nigerians. There is no country in the world where they do wholesale privatisation. Privatisation has violated the constitutional provision in section 16.”

He insisted that failure on the part of the committee to invite the former president and others people that have been mentioned in the panel probe would expose the committee as covering up the errant officials.

In the same vein, the former director-general, Irene Chigbue while responding to questions over the carrying out of transactions not approved by the National Council of Privatisation, (NCP) which oversees the BPE, said the political lacuna between the office of Obasanjo and Atiku resulted in some of the problems in the BPE.
It was revealed at the hearing that at particular point in stand-off between Obasanjo and Atiku, the ex-Vice- President and Chairman of the NCP was caught off by the BPE while letters were sent directly to Obasanjo. This it was further stated, resulted in a situation where most preferred bidders at particular point time were replaced by another bidder.

She said, “There was a political lacuna between the office of the then president and his vice -president. The ex-president in his wisdom said we should be relating with the then finance minister who is now a senator. Because of that, we were getting approval directly from the ex-president.”

Also, former Minister of Aviation, Ambassador Kema Chikwe, said el-Rufai laid a very controversial foundation in privatisation of Nigeria, adding that his personality caused the corruption and confusion that plagued the process as he craved in to the powers of the ex-president.

Reacting to allegation by el-Rufai at the hearing on Thursday that Kema told stories to stall the sale of Nigerian Airways, Chikwe noted that the el-Rufai almost suffered a fit over Air Nigeria. She said el-Rufai had capitalised on the Senate committee’s profound investigation into BPE’s privatisation and Nigeria’s gains and losses to unleash his political frustrations on her and others.

But she tendered a letter to the panel dated 2003 which contained an apology by el-Rufai for using strong language over their disagreement on the privatisation of the Nigerian Airways.

Also a former deputy director of the BPE, Charles Osuji, admitted taking bribe from a chairman of an oil company. He claimed that he was unjustifiably dismissed from the Bureau after he had collected the bribe and did not remit it to the then director-general of the Bureau, el-Rufai.
The committee, however, queried the BPE for not prosecuting Osuji over his revelation.

But in his reaction, el-Rufai said after reporting the matter to Atiku, the late Bola Ige had initiated court actions against Osuji. He noted that when sequel to Bola Ige’s death, Osuji was dismissed which was approved by the then Vice -president.

Meanwhile, the BPE yesterday disclosed that the gross proceeds from the direct sale of public enterprises between 1999 to date is N249, 497,188,000.
The BPE added that of the said sum, N103, 844,517,000 was used to settle staff salaries and terminal benefits of the workers of the privatised firms, while other transaction expenses gulped N23, 988,232, 000. Also, the net proceeds, during the period under review, were N121, 664,439, 000. When dividend revenue is added to the net proceeds, the amount remitted to the Federation Account was N146, 182,300,000.

They further said the presentation of the Director General of the Bureau, Ms. Bolanle Onagoruwa, on privatisation proceeds at the opening day of the public hearing, which has led to mischaracterization of the facts as presented.
A release by spokesman of the Bureau, Chukwuma Nwokoh, said: “This data is one of the myriad documents submitted by the Bureau of Public Enterprises (BPE) to the ongoing public hearing by the Senate into the activities of BPE from 1999 to date.

“The activities of the BPE are governed by the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria and its enabling legislation- the Privatisation and Commercialisation Act of 1999. In undertaking its mandate, the BPE has been faithful to the tenets of these laws.

“It must be noted that upon acceptance of the offer price by the National Council on Privatisation (NCP), the core investor is expected to make graduated payment of the agreed sum while negotiations continue to finalise the Share Purchase Agreement.

“It is also apt to point out that payment of the offer price by the winning bidder is graduated and as a result, until full payment is made, the initial payments are lodged with commercial banks for transfer to the privatization proceeds account with the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on final payment by the winning bidder.
“In this regard, the Federal Government, which is aware of its liabilities to the workers and other creditors, approves the deductions of the agreed sum before the net proceed is paid into the proceeds account. In other words, surplus revenue after closure of each transaction and net off of transaction expenses is paid into the Privatisation Proceeds Account.
“The Bureau’s expenditure is broken into two broad categories: transaction expenses and administrative expenses. Transaction expenses are the direct expenses of carrying out a sale which includes advisers’ fees, settlement of labour entitlements, etc, while the administrative expenses include staff salaries and other overheads. The administrative expenses are offset through budgetary provisions.

He said it would be completely impossible to undertake the privatisation programme of the Federal Government if no arrangements had been made to pay off the workers’ entitlements and other transaction expenses, as the Bureau in the last four years has been picketed and its staff locked out by workers of privatised enterprises who are demanding the payment of their entitlements.

“For the avoidance of doubt, we would like to reconfirm to the Nigerian people that all privatisation proceeds from inception are fully accounted for and the records are open for all.” he said.

[size=14pt]When govt commits 90 % earnings on wages, how do you embark on devt projects? Aregbesola asks[/size]
On August 15, 2011 · In News

By GBENGA OLA
OSOGBO—Governor Rauf Aregbesola of Osun State, weekend, said his government was not elected to serve the interest of workers alone but, the entire citizens of the state.

The governor however said that workers were part of the machinery of governments anywhere in the world to serve the people.

Speaking on the ongoing strike by public workers in the state over the implementation of the N18.000 minimum wage, which entered its second week, Aregbesola noted that it was erroneous to think that the government existed only for the welfare of workers.

According to him, “For long we have been under this erroneous impression that the welfare of the workers alone is the purpose of governance. No! Workers are part of the machinery of government for the delivery of excellent service to the people.

“If you then commit the entire resources belonging to the state to the payment of workers who are only on the payroll of the government, what happens to millions of other people who are also stakeholders in the same state who are not on the payroll of the government? Don’t they have right to access to good roads?

“Don’t they have right to access qualitative education? Are you not going to provide water for the generality of the people? You must be able to provide good infrastructure but all these will remain dreams if all you do is to pay salaries and nothing else remains. When a government commits over 90 per cent of its total earnings on salaries of workers alone, how do you embark on development projects?”

On August 15, 2011 · In News

BY Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief & VICTORIA OJEME
ABUJA — In the wake of concerns over collaboration between the Boko Haram sect and foreign Islamic insurgents, the Federal Government has deported 3,185 foreigners.

Public Relations Officer of Nigerian Immigration Service, Mr Joachim Olumba, who disclosed this to Vanguard, weekend, said the foreign nationals were deported after rigorous and enhanced screening at the nation’s legal entry points, noting that the deportees included those whose presence in Nigeria was found to be inimical to national security.

He said 31 Somalis and 382 Sudanese had been screened and had been established to be legal residents in Nigeria and legally engaged in the country as well.

[size=14pt]Police kill suspected bomber in Maiduguri[/size]
The man drove into the police headquarters with a car filled with explosives
Article | August 15, 2011 - 5:34pm | By Chris Onyeose

https://dailytimes.com.ng/sites/default/files/imagecache/400xY/maiduguri%20police.jpg

A man suspected to be a member of Boko Haram, the radical Islamist sect, has been shot dead by police in Maiduguri, Borno State, as he drove a car full of explosives, which failed to detonate, into the state’s police headquarters.

According to the Borno State Police Public Relations Officer, Abubaker Kabru, the man forcefully drove into the gate of the police headquarters and went straight towards the main building before he was gunned down inside his car.

Abubaker added that seven cylinders of gunpowder and several cans of petrol were found in the car.

This is coming at about the time when the committee set up by the president to look into the issue of the incessant bombings in the northern part of the country by Boko Haram is about submitting its report to the presidency this week.

The federal government also said last week that it will investigate military misconduct in Maiduguri where the Joint Task Force (JTF) has been criticised for its handling of attacks by Boko Haram.

your evasive tactic wont do u any good at all.
The conclusion of the matter is GEJ has been president since May 2010 and not May 2011. when his record will be written it will commence from May 2010 and not 2011. that exactly is the topic for discussion on this thread. any other thing or issue is inconsequential ok. i dont know why u find it difficult to accept this basic truth. o ga gan ooo

Hmmm! Is that the logic I've been praying fervently for you haters to employ?
Several pages of begging you folk to produce cogent reason for your stance and the best you can do is come up with the above crap?

This is just further proof that you people are haters for reasons best known to yourselves only. Maybe you lost crooked income with the tightening of loopholes in the petroleum sector; or you are religiously or ethnicaly bigoted. Its only natural to believe that your motives are dark and ulterior, if as an adult, you cannot even make a supporting claim that doesn't beat up common sense.

Dude, please wander off into the darkness, I don't want to drop IQ points keeping up with your silly postures.

[size=14pt]Nigerian police kill 'would-be suicide bomber' [/size]
Updated 17 minutes ago

KANO: Nigerian police said they killed a "would-be suicide bomber" seeking to drive an explosives-laden car into state police headquarters in the violence-torn city of Maiduguri on Monday.

"Our men succeeded in killing a would-be suicide bomber who attempted to force his way into the police headquarters while screening for police recruits was going on," said state police commissioner Simeon Midenda.

He said bombs made up of seven gas cylinders and a number of other containers were found in the boot of the man's car. Some 1,500 recruits were on the grounds at the time for screening, he said.

"Our initial suspicion is the attacker is from the Boko Haram sect," said Midenda, referring to the Islamist sect blamed for scores of shootings and bomb blasts in Nigeria's northeast.

The incident comes the day before a committee appointed by Nigerian President Goodluck Jonathan to look into violence in the northeast is to submit its report to the government.

The committee was expected to recommend whether negotiations should be held with Boko Haram. (AFP)

Sometimes you make a lot of sense and sometimes I just feel like wringing your neck!
If we know all these things and we know this is not how things are in "saner" societies, why are our leaders so comfortable with the status quo.

Lol! Dude, I'm well built and above 6ft tall and I always imagine you to be quite short, potbellied and thin-legged with a scraggly beard. . . You still wanna wring my neck?

On a serious note bruv, where Nigerians get it wrong is in the vehimence with which the ordinary man battles his peers. They only have to be Muslim, while he is Christian; ND, while the "enemy" is an equally downtrodden Hausa almajiri; Yoruba, while the other is Igbo. . .
Sometimes we are saying the same things, but missing the kernel of the others opinion, because we sit on "different sides of the fence." yeah, even though we suffer the same issues.

IMHO, we've got to start somewhere, even though the first steps are shaky and tentative. If we can manage to overcome our illusory boundaries and keep the national foot pointed in the direction of progress with every step, then we will reap success. The only way for the person on the street to overcome their illusory boundaries is by total cultural reorientation, as well intensive work to forge a viable citizen-state contract that will give every woman, man and child a sense of belonging and worth; a viable citizen-state contract can only be achieved by upending our current uselesss constitution. We need radical changes.

The trick we are missing is a vehicle for the total cultural reorientation of the citizenry. Chairman Mao did it for the Chinese, but his methods are not applicable to Nigeria and they were barbaric anyway.

Lol! I guess I'm derailling this topic. Apologies to the OP.

Hope the farmer will become a billionaire from his oil rich farm.

In Nigeria? No way!

Do you know that a major part of the ND struggle is about land rights? That poor farmers land now belongs to the FG with zero compensation, it will be so polluted that in all the villages nearby, there will be no drinking water or farmland and all the goats will die. People will begin to die of mysterious ailments which the lucky to be ignorant ones will blame on witchcraft, the size of babies will begin to shrink. . .

You know the drill.

Maybe the PIB just got more votes. GEJ should throw all oilfields open for production, thats the only way Nigerians will know the fundamental importance of the PIB. In other lands, we would all have been on the streets fighting for a bill that guarantees our future, instead the average person wants to be an onlooker, while wearing a collar around their necks thats tagged, "this object is the property of Shell to do with as they please." Of course, JTF will always be present to "persuade" any dissenters, cheered on by "fellow" ignorant Nigerians.

im not fully GEJ's fan but many people here speak from their meriads of problems facing them which need urgent solution.but we shouldnt forget that the man was totally sidelined by pro yar dua during his sickness and eventually made substansive president thereafter.new in the office,he has to harnness so many things to keep us together.i can even see light already at the end of the tunnel.we just recorded 24hrs power supply in my area since God-knows-when.my people governance is a gradual thing not fix it quick thing as we all expect.the ministers are equally new in their areas of operations and need articulate solutions to the various challenges that face their ministeries. i only see nairaland as a slaughter board by critics that cannot see anything good in anything.even when an angel comes they can never recognize him.

Tell them bro. If they could even put a couple of logical critisms together, it would be understandable, but all they do is get involved in competions about which of them can scream loudest and most uselessly for longest. We are not animals, Nigerians really need to drop these saddening habits.

funmeme:
why are pple responding to this BEAF of a thing, isnt it obvious dat he's presently out of his mind? i will advice yu guys to chek back wen he's bak to normal so as 2avoid drama, since he can not answer simple question, i'm sure when he's back to his mind he will be able to answer without insult or avoiding the question.

Nothing to add to the argument? How "surprising!"

When you have no point and are intellectually cornered, employ methods perfected by meat sellers, rat catchers and agbero's! Abuse the person that has defeated you in a gentlemanly way, throw stones, burn things and run riot. Lol!

We know your type, ma.

Nigeria is not a police state, in fact we couldn't be farther away from being or becoming one; you need a super autocratic and efficient intelligence service to create street level networks that allow neighbour to spy on neighbour and the intelligence services to spy on everyone. Nigeria is far from that, as crude as Buhari and Abacha were in their times, we never came close.

However, the average Nigerian is traumatised and terrorised by the structure of govt and its intruments. The man on the street is alienated from the state and many, like the area boys in Lagos and the almajiri's of the North are totally divorced off any affilation to the state; they simply exist to scrounge for food.
The life of the man on the street is little better, there is little sense of belonging and until the recent airlifts of Nigerians from troublespots (Libya, Egypt etc), there have been no gestures from the FG in the past that appretiated Nigerian lives as worth anything.

The symtoms of our societal trauma are everywhere.
A poor man can be slapped in the streets in the presence of his wife, by someone who is wealthier or in the army. The perpetrators strangely feel a mobid sense of satisfaction for acts that would see them jailed or have them referred for mental health checks in saner countries. There is an absolute lack of love anywhere you look, every journey is spiced up with unwanted primitive interjections through your car window, "do you know who I am? do you know I can jail your family?"

It is arguable that the trauma in our streets is due to our years of wretched military govts. Govts that frog-jumped fathers and mothers in the streets, jailed pressmen, burnt down newspaper offices and shot their way into office. The real problem with Nigeria is our national framework, we have got to rebuild slowly and diligently. More than anything, we need to chuck out the useless constitution that was handed down by the army. It was designed with exploitation in mind, to always keep the generals in power and their bellies full on the backs of the common man.

If only others could sound as logical and balanced as you!
Sadly, the average Nigerian prefers to shout and thump their chests like primal beasts, while conveying zero logic. I applaud your post, its a breath of fresh air on this intellectually stifling thread.

lastly i have no hatred for the GEJ. simply becos i dont agree what he stands for as a result of what we see daily ever since he became presido since last yr doesnt mean i hate him. i simply want him to wake up to his responsibilities. i honestly dont know how that one got into your skull.

LOL!!!
Are your brains so starved of oxegen that you cannot make a cogent argument about what you deslike? Its your right to like or deslike anybody, its just an assault on the more cerebral NLers when folk like you begin screaming from the rooftops and nobody can make head or tails of what you are screaming about. Its sad really.

Asking you about what specific things from GEJ's manifesto you feel should have been fulfilled in two months is just a way of helping you to focus your own mind, since you do not seem able to do that independently and have flunked every opportunity. Its pathetic when an adult is so vociferous, yet you ask them why and they cannot point to a single reason for their position; they just keep babbling the same old broken stuff like wind-up toys;

"i have no hatred for the GEJ. simply becos i dont agree what he stands for as a result of what we see daily ever since he became presido"

Specifics?!!!

Pathetic. When you rage at another person, day in, day out; and you repeatedly fail to provide specifics when challenged, any two year old would conclude that you hate the victim.
Dude, do yourself a favour and come out with it. Is your hatred for ethnic, religious or sectional reasons? When people hate for such reasons, they tend not to be able to back up their statements and actions with logical arguments. Boko haram is very much the same.

Abeg, lets welcome Kwara into the South South.

I somewhat agree with the OP, but I'm not sure that justified colonization of Africa,

When the white man came, they were so awed by our civilisation that jealousy led them to kill, steal and destroy. No white man had ever seen cast copper until they came to Africa. Thats why they stole everything they could lift.
The only thing they had and we lacked, was the gun.

The artifacts below are stolen and currently decorate European meusums. One day in the near future, very heavy compensation will be paid:

Ondo might just join the SS development body just like Edo already has. Afterall, Ondo has much more in common with us.
It makes much better economic sense for Ondo to stick with the SS.
