tpiah:
I meant if your question and observation are sincere ones, just spend some time checking out most people's history here in order to get a better understanding of what you say you've noticed.

You cant teach an old dog new tricks- a lot of people simply roll out identical responses to certain issues. Mass produced, as it were.

Biggest hypocrite - Elrazur , go and read tpiah's past post unfortunately she has a new account ( you will surely find all your evidence there)

@poster

is your name by any chance tuface idibia

Some argue that it may just boil down to jealousy, but i hope the some are wrong

Please how much does a rtd general earn in Nigeria to be able to pay large amounts to Kiddnappers.

The former General Officer Commanding, 1 Mechanised Division, Nigerian Army, Kaduna, Maj-Gen. Peter Ademokhai (retd), has been released by his abductors.

Ademokhai, who spoke with journalists at his residence in GRA Benin, the Edo State capital, said he was released after an undisclosed amount was paid to his abductors. The retired general, who declined to state the amount, said his kidnappers treated him well.

Ademokhai said that one of the kidnappers told him that he had N60 million in his bank account. The retired general blamed the regulators of the banking system for not making laws to reveal the owners of bank accounts.

Ademokhai, who was looking ruffled, said he was kidnapped in the presence of his wife, adding, ”I felt as if I was in Somalia because Somalia is a failed state. I don‘t hate my abductors. I only hate the system that created them. They were so nice to me. They are my sons. They called me ‘daddy, daddy, daddy.‘ They said they did not like what they were doing but that they were driven into it by the system.”

Security sources had told our correspondent that the suspected abductors demanded N100m ransom for his release but that some members of his family offered them N20m. The retired general was kidnapped on Friday from his farm in the Ovia North East Local Government Area in Edo St.te.

The list goes on.

I have a relative who got his HND from Yabatech . . he got a job at a one room consulting firm while doing his PGD. He is now a manager with British American Tobacco.

I left the comfort of being a network engineer in Nigeria to do my masters here in the U.S. I did security work at night and went to school during the day. I could not get a job after school so I started doing customer service with several companies until I got into the one in my chosen career - one of the largest telecoms companies here.

By God's grace I am now a consultant with the same company - the only black man in the Knowledge Management team of 39.

I did not have to know anybody to get to this stage, and it wasnt all smooth as well. But keep ur eyes on the prize and you will get there.

lol

[quote author=@labiyemmy link=topic=265621.msg3777374#msg3777374 date=1240603953]People like us moved back, not waiting for the development of our field, but actually pioneering the development and earning money in the process - why do i have to wait for the development, why cant i spearhead that development? It is a case of what you can do for your country and not what your country can do for you, if everyone waits till their field is developed, then, who will develop the country or how will the country develop then?[/quote]u read my mind - why not be a trend setter

my advice

if he ever gets employment in Nigeria as fraud chief

Someone needs to forward this topic to Mikeansy. The dude will sell his mama's house for UK or American visa.
Africa is the best place to be.

point of correction : Africa is best place for a skilled person who has witnessed or being part of a team or solely implemented solutions that have been tried and tested in the western world. That person is bound to make lots of money. Many of my friends that have moved back to Nigeria are doing exceptionally very well.

money means nothing but the insight to amass it means everything

i would say it i s going to be easy, historically middlesbrough always beat or draws with arsenal

all of you stressing yourself over a boy that buy all of you together x 5 . The last time dwight yorke was banned the guy hired a driver for his bently arnage - Now that what i call class.

@smark k

what would say is the best way of becoming a comptetent programmer in any choosen language. or could share scerets that has worked for you

thanks

The number 1 rule should be - Anybody that ask for money before getting you a job i believe is a scam

just to butress what linxon said

Java  is write once, run anywhere.  Writing Java code pretty much isolates you from the platform dependent aspects of the systems on which you deploy it. you also have to your disposal Massive java communities, the amount of help you can ever nedd , libraries, IDE's, is huge

no problem - i will provide more facts

As an object oriented programmer their are 4 principles or pillar you will need to understand and the rest is history

Pillar #1: Encapsulation
Pillar #2: Inheritance
Pillar #3: Polymorphism
Pillar #4: Abstraction - some argue you only have the 3 top pillars


would anybody please give defination for the above  - thanks

also thanks to Linxon ( wonderful example)

Hotmail the no 1 web based email program?

Meanwhile, the issue of broadband internet access cannot be a valid reason because majority of these companies developed software and solutions when broadband was almost non existent.

Yes i still believe - a lot old generation internet users still have a hotmail accounts and at the same time have other email accounts . for example almost everybody uses msn mensenger

Are u telling me that  this man does not know the plight of people - how interesting.

I have managed to transcribe the material into text


Patrick Obahiagbon : It is not the drivers of lorries and tankers who have brought pains to the Nigerian people , no rather it is the failure of government. Benin Ore lagos road today is in a state of calamity ,so if the state of road is in anomly, if driving through the road is gauging emadence culpability is that of government it will be sadonic it will be lugubrious and it will be state dishma pishma if parliament does not wright this morning to fix culpability where culpability is

This article summarizes the failing of Nigeira as a whole in simple english - but aren't we tired of talk, if you are not i am.  what can one do to change one's destiny in Nigeria with out fear of being executed by these murderous bastards we call leaders.
