Please I really want to learn programming so badly. However, what I have is a windows 7 32-bit OS. I have not been gainfully employed since I graduated 2007. So the truth is that I am broke. What I have is an old laptop that I described above. Can I learn with it?

Besides, I would appreciate someone mentoring me in web development. I am a super fast learner. Just that life hasn't been fair to me. Please I need help.

Doesn't matter.

If your current computer should be able to run VScode or Atom. You can even code in your browser using Replit.com (your phone included).

You don't need any one-on-one mentoring. Freecodecamp.org is a fantastic resource. Then use YouTube and have 20 different teachers teach you any topic you don't understand.

Italy had a kidnapping pandemic in the '70s and they solved it by a clever method...

If your family member gets kidnapped, the government will freeze your account so that you can't pay.

Since victim's families couldn't pay, kidnapping incidents plummeted.

But is cefas not pegged to the Euro?

Tell Nigerians to start producing and they should reduce the barriers for manufacturing and exporting, then we gonna have a strong naira.

There was a time, 1 naira used to be 3 yen but as oil prices came down, it affected our currency and now, it is 1 naira = 0.26 yen

Electricity and security are huge issues.

Cost of production in Nigeria is high.

SeriouslySense:
He is not remorseful, just see how casual and care free he is acting

More like hopeless.

He's looks resigned to fate.

Very lucky girl.

They have won war with 5 different countries at same time and won
When Iraq was deem the 3rd strongest military before desert storm

No country is invincible.

Napoleon's France cleared the board on the regular until everyone ganged up on them.

Hitler's Germany too.

The past is not an indication of the future. Ask WWII French army.

If Turkey and Iran enter, plus all those other Muslim countries, wahala go dey.

Remember very cheap military drones are now in the equation. Plus all those low flying ones that can't be detected by rather...the ones used in 2019 to shut down half of Saudi's oil production in one attack. Despite their missile defence systems from the US, etc.

ppforte:
They are still the best country in the world. As for this news, it was the company that paid ramson! Not the government.

And I think every country in the world can pay ramson in rare situations but you can never use ramson to leverage the USA.

The US is just a group of humans.

If another person hold you where e bad, you go pay.

Remember the US is not just the federal government. They also have states and municipalities, and these guys have been paying ransom to "release" their systems like kilode.

SouthSouth1914:
From my point of view, I mean holding the US government to ransom asking for financial means not prisoner exchange!

How would you know?

If they hack sensitive US intel and threaten to expose it, the US government will 100% pay. And no one will hear about it.

I'll be surprised if it hasn't happened already.

The US government gets hacked all the time.

Google "SolarWinds hack"...

SouthSouth1914:
Lol.. US government don’t negotiate with terrorists! They flush them out.. Don’t carry your terroristic views there, else you will be caught and jailed! Ask your brothers

The US negotiates with "terrorists".

Obama did a prisoner exchange in 2014.

He exchanged Five Taliban held at Guantanamo Bay for some US sergent.

Also, Google the Iran Contra affair.

Now imagine the others that never come to light.

Husbands just don't run away and abandon their kids.

If her husband ran away, perhaps there's a reason.

The opening scene was awesome.

The rest of the movie was meh.

Iamdemola1:
That can only be done by a court injunction

It can also be leaked, like the call logs in the article.

That's a chimp.

Curious345:
the akwaibom own is just too much.

The entire village was working with that guy to murder girla from outside the community.. am sure he was settling some chiefs there ..

Imagine burying over 300 ladies in that small compound and nobody in the village raised an alarm?

Bros, abeg where you see 300?

This guy is the bravest journalist in the country.

And he writes so well.

Nigeria Police...criminals.

The article is better laid out on their website: https://newswirengr.com/2021/05/11/murder-in-uyo-who-killed-hiny-umoren/

chinjo:
The Catholic Church has always spoken against the ills going on in the country right from Babangida's days to Abacha reign. It has also been very vocal since this regime came to power. The church has never been silent. There is only but a thin line between religion and politics.

I see.

.

Wait, why is there Arabic on the Nigeria Army logo?

Lol

Igbochief001:
State police is very very necessary

If u fear state governors control why not have federal police but every body posted to his state of origin ...simple

Bringing a yoruba man to police kano would never work
Bringing hausas man to police imo would never work simple

Let people police themselves

I don't think it's a tribal thing. James Nwafor is an Igbo man.

The primary issue with this corruption and lack of accountability.

If a policeman fvcks up, he gets transferred to another part of the country. And the matter just dies like that.

We are also not very organized. So a large bureaucracy is almost impossible for us to run efficiently.

Ahmed0336:
Whites with principles.

If Na naija woman, the motto is "we die here"

I can assure you, there are no principles involved here.

Women do not like being blamed for their actions. This is a PR stunt to make Bill Gates the bad guy for a divorce she initiated.

ogbonti:
Abeg no mind the OP my brother. Who says marriage provides comfort, happiness and long life in all circumstances? Nah it doesn’t folks.

1. Some married guys here in America that I know don’t even get regular s ex from their wife anymore because they feel they got the man is caged already and if he leaves her, (divorce) - then financial calamity will befall him with regards to alimony, child support, splitting the estate and other drag on here and there.

2. The nagging too na helele. I have had one or two friends just before the pandemic who were almost living with me - they come in on Friday and leave on Sunday just to escape an irritating and over entitled wife from running up their blood pressure unending. You need to see the excitement on their faces when they arrive my place for the weekend and my wife initially didn’t understand why these guys were doing this but with time she got the picture, and she even validated my conclusion about the awkward complacencies most women display after securing the marriage vow from a man - “for better for worse - love and to cherish, till death do us part..... bla bla bla”

3. There is a reason some companies here in America and even in Nigeria seldom hire permanent staff. They hire on contract basis. Now, I know someone may say what’s the difference if both contract and permanent staff can both be fired. However, it is harder to fire a permanent staff without incurring legal and financial liabilities. Same with marriage, when you tie yourself up with legal complexities just to cling to one individual for life, then you must be ready to go through the headache to untangle yourself when things go sour, and it surely will over time - because every man has his price and every dog has it’s day!

4. It takes 2 people in agreement to get married, but it takes the consent of just 1 of the 2 to destroy everything. Any human being can change, over time - because change is the only constant thing in life - and every human being is a sucker for one or multiple things not life - only known to that individual.

For a man - some of us can not resist a very beautiful woman and brilliant woman. Now, when she is the one initiating flirts with you, it becomes a level playing field between her and your wife for the battle for your love, affection and attention. If the beautiful woman respects you, cooks good for you and doesn’t nag you as a side chic, then your wife is in for a real fight going forward because every man appreciates peace of mind and sweet food. If she is good in bed and your wife over time has become a boring, entitled and nagging sister at home, then calamity has come knocking on the marriage and a divorce is imminent.

Same for the woman, if she is a sucker for money, sweet talks, material things and good looks, but somehow got married because her biological clock was ticking and she is getting pressured at home to get married by her parents - then whatever is available (which is you becomes her dream man at that period) . However, when all dust settles and she is no longer on the edge about her biological clock because she now has a kid or 2, and a man who she exploits financially in a marriage, she is now in a vantage position to use positive screeners to find that which her mind truly yearns for and whenever she finds it and that person is a willing collaborator, she will turn 360 degrees against you. You will keep wondering what has gone wrong? Nothing went wrong foolish husband- your wife has been dealing with you as an alternative to her real dream man. Now she has found him and she sees you as a mistake she urgently needs to correct.

5. Money, power or fame or spiritual superiority can’t tame any partner in a marriage. We have seen that with Bill Gates, Micheal Jordan, Brad Pitt, Chris Okotie, Chris Oyakhilome and even Aso Rock’s own Aisha Buhari here in Nigeria where she feels very comfortable staying away from her husband in Dubai for half a year. So what are we not talking about ?


6. I honestly don’t believe a man will ever stay with one woman and not stray for maximum one year and I don’t believe a woman can be committed to one man and not stray for 2 years. If she is not straying then she must be an ugly and irritating sit-at-home-all-day lady that nobody wants. IF if he is not straying, he must be a dirt poor loner who lacks basic confidence to initiate and hold a conversation with a lady for even 30 minutes.


With all these being said, baby mama comes from the freedom it affords both parties (the man and the woman) to stop breathing on each other’s neck and give each other the space and opportunity to keep excelling without the suffocating complexities of an irritating spouse

And who says products from a baby mama can’t be great? Barack Obama is one, and he is one the greatest black men to ever walk on the surface of the earth and a role model to hundreds of millions of people world wide. I know someone will say but his father married his mother - yes, they did just to take pictures lol, because the father was off before Barack even turned 3 years old and since then his (now late) mom and her family took care of him

So, OP stop propagating neediness, insecurity and lack of capacity for adults to stand their ground and hold on to face the vicissitudes of life because you want them to desperately cling to another human to bail them out with pity parties when life throws them a curve? nah- Instead I will encourage everyone to get on their A game and enjoy their life, independent of any other human being’s perpetual manipulation and psychological slavery.


As for kids born out of wedlock, they will be fine. A baby daddy can support the welfare of the kid as the spirit leads him because even kids you raise in a marriage sometimes will turn against the you their father and give priority to the mom when they grow up because right under your nose, the indoctrination was taking place whenever you are away to work and you didn’t even realize it


So baby mama or marriage is ok for anyone- it all depends on what you are comfortable with

I rest my case!!!

I can't gild the lily.

Oga...

Michelle55:
Where are the team baby mama's? We are waiting for the advantages of having a baby mama, let me grab a seat and wait.

Many marriages end after a few short years.

And every single thing he listed there can happen to the "married man".

Ubi Franklin's marriage for example. Gbenro Ajibade's too.

Channels TV has removed the content from YouTube. Anyone who has downloaded it should please spread it via Twitter.

Still there. But you have to click to watch it on YouTube.

Righteousness2:
The summary of the whole thing is
" Once I was Blind, Now I can see"

Well he said God revealed all that to him.

God can't be blind.

FarahAideed:
Trust me anybody that kills policemen is not your friend...When he is done killing them he will oppress you with anarchy ...Avoid Anarchist

True sha.

I watched a video on Twitter of the UGM gunmen snatching the vehicles they used in the ill-fated Orlu attack.

I'm sure very soon they'll impose levies/taxes, and then enforce the collection.

My biggest fear is that the East will become militarized eventually.

They'll just sew uniforms for all those almajiris in the north, hand them AK47s and deploy them to the East.

And these folks won't know anything about code of conduct, or rules of engagement.

I hope those engineering this violence have plans beyond this that doesn't boil down to attrition on both sides...because they are plenty, and want to go to paradise.

What is 160millarNGN?
Amaechi don turn born again overnight, a bi?

Oga na billion.

The assailants who have been on the radar of the Joint Technical Intelligence Team were said to have come from a Forest Camp in Ideato North LGA of Imo State from where they mobilised and planned the failed attack.

They were waiting for them...

baralatie:
Melinda met bill gates when he was worth $12 billion .
He is now worth $130 billion
She and him built the largest and most effective foundation in the world worth $50 billion of which she(melinda) spent 6 years to build.
They have 3 kids and they are now grown.
Bill and melinda found themselves in a new phase of their marital life journey.what did melinda get under $3 billion.
Now compare melinda with bezos ex wife.bezos ex wife literally went with #30 billion out of how much $150 billion.
Now melinda and bill will continue to work in bill and melinda gates foundation (and they will not reconcile?)
They way I see bill may form ex but he will not leave melinda for this good heart of gesture towards him from his wife

For where...

That woman go cash out upwards of $50B. She just collect pocket money first.

Northernblood3:
IPOB is too intelligent. I wonder why Britain lumped smart set of people with Idiots.

If you are a Biafran and decide not to follow the directive, You deserve to Die painfully and forgotten so that your Children or loved ones will know how it feels to be forgotten.

Convert to Islam or die = terrorism.

Your statement above = terrorism.

Hope Biafra doesn't become from the frying pan into the fire.

Mayng01:
He disclosed that the police divisional headquarters was not razed neither did any security officer killed in the attack.
Are you sure of the above?

It appears they got them while still in their cars.

They were likely waiting for them.

BluntCrazeMan:
For those that would be saying that Hackers would hack the servers and change the results,,, I want to know why those hackers have not hacked the Banks servers all these while, or you think those hackers don't need money?
That means, it is only the votes (and maybe perhaps, only the Election Results) that they are interested in?? (as if it concerns them sef)
..
..

"Those who vote decide nothing. Those who count the vote decide everything"

--- Joseph Stalin (purported)

68% of US Republicans believe the 2020 election was rigged: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-usa-election-poll/half-of-republicans-say-biden-won-because-of-a-rigged-election-reuters-ipsos-poll-idUSKBN27Y1AJ

The issue is not hackers, but the ease with which those in power or access can tip the system in whatever direction they want.

Nigerian banks rob us blind everyday because they can.

Remember the illegal deductions case between GTB and that Innoson guy.

In 2009, Zenith Bank made 100s of N200 deductions from my account labelled "Up Country Transfer". Only God knows what that means.

At the centre of the US election rigging allegations is a company called Dominion Voting Systems. The accusation is that they flipped Trump's votes to Biden.

Paper ballots leave a physical trail that can be easily audited.

With remote electronic voting, all those separate tabulations at polling units, with all party observers present is no longer the case.

And one admin can add millions of phantom votes in a minute.

To rig a paper ballots election, you have to forge millions of ballots...makes it easier for you to be caught.

And btw, banks get hacked all the time...

In 2016 suspected North Korean hackers hacked the Bangladeshi Central bank and initiated transfers if almost $1B from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York.

Spelling errors caused the bulk of the transactions to be flagged, but they successfully cashed out over $60m.

And there has been many many other successful bank hacks.
