Dear Nairalanders, there is something that I don't really understand about life or let me say religion. I know some people may see it as luck or destiny. But if we call it destiny, then every Christian or all child of God suspose to be prosper and leave a better life than Dangote.

Because according to Jeremiah 29:11 New International Version that's says For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

But when I check those guys we call pastors and Alfa in School (University) they don't play with Church Fellowship or Mosque prayers, they get the best results, as in when it come to Education, they are very sound but most of this people end up teaching in one local private school or the other. While those Stubborn guys, that go to Club and party every night, many of them manage to get Third class but they end up in better companies, some are abroad while some are in government.

Also, those ladies that doesn't allow man to touch thier hand not to talk of hugs, infact majority of them are still virgin base on thier looks and behavior ( Not all). They always reserve thier body for thier future husband Many of those ladies too are on the street looking for husband up till now and looking old now. Even those that marry among them are still looking for the friut of the womb. But those strippers, Club girls, they hardly attend attend class and many of them even graduated with poor result get the best husband, have beautiful kids and better job.

Now my question is, why those who lived a wayward life in school get better opportunities than Church goer or those Alfa?

Well, to be honest "Wayward" is relative. Even the Bible says "I will bless the work of your hands". A lot of these top academic performers engross themselves is attaining grade so much that they forget the purpose go going to school in the first place; learning to solve problems around you. Don't be carried away, a lot of them are just good crammers. Not really knowledgeable. And those so call "Wayward" one on their spree encounters and meet people with real life problems, find a way to solve it and get wealthy. Even when you focus on God, work on your hands too so that God will bless them.

Please can someone survive a whole month with just 50k salary as a graduate.

I had a friend that just got employed in a big organization but he is placed on contract and 50k salary. Should he go ahead to take the Job or look elsewhere considering the deteriorating economy of Nigeria.

What's your advise on this guys.

I will say take the job while using the small returns to hustle bigger fish. The small return can pay for data and small movement TFare. At the same time gaining experience.

If you are creative in any field and can solve eminent problems with it employers will beg you.

When they say make you leap before you... Una no go hear. You just wan marry. I was quite irritated reading it. Omo! Some women no dey get human sympathy o. 70k!!! Baba fit dey pay transport inside o. Them don marry, there is possibility say she get belle, when she born, no savings, he go con dey run upandan for help.

Lack of foresight. I wish the man good fortune.

The audacity self, to still tell am to contribute to another man wedding! Another man fucking wedding! If her brother is not capable of funding his wedding bills, how will he feed with the new wife Then children go come, dey hawk up and down our crazy roads. Omo the level of irresponsibility. This is a problem!

At the end of the day, it is your choice chief. I am an explorer and a risk taker. I can't even survive a job I don't enjoy doing for 6 months.
There are other people who would stick to bank A due to FOMO and that's fine too.
From the little you typed, you sound pretty much smart enough to always get back on your feet.
I'd say ditch the job you don't like and find a new path MIGHT enjoy. What's 20 months to spending another 48 - 60 months doing something you don't like? That's the origin of frustration and depression.

Like I said, it's still your choice to make if you are a FOMO or an explorer.

Best!

KlausMichaelson:
This is our final semester here in school. Today, I was in a deep conversation with a group of my course mates, and we were talking about our performance and grades so far in school. Being their best student they were shocked to hear me tell them that I'm actually on a 2:1 and not a 1:1 and specifically within the range of 4.25 to 4.3 cgpa. Their Shock also shocked me lols . Like what were they thinking? And somehow they were disappointed too.

As for me I don't care about their thoughts or opinion about the subject matter, I'm not from a rich home perse, so most at times I spend my time on things that will put money in my pocket rather than books to survive here in school. I even barely read my books, but I'm a very fast learner when I grab a book.

They couldn't fathom why I couldn't make a first class even when they considered me a genius. Anyways, that doesn't matter, maybe some other time in the nearest future things like this won't matter any more. I simply wish myself the very best in life. Graduating top of my class is not an easy feat and I thank God for that. If any of those 1:1 students embark on 10% of
the thingss I do in campus to survy, they will find it difficult making a 2:1 not to talk of a 1:1. So I'm really proud of myself. Glory be to God. Amen!

Reminds me of my university days son. Though mine was the reverse. Was always hustling, never attends lecture or seen reading in school, especially those who sleep in school reading. Nobody knew my MATRICULATION NUMBER. Until same final year when the lady who's matriculation number is next to mine found out and it casted. I was on a guaranteed 2:1.

Lol... Them don expect my name for "Advised to withdraw" list tire. ���

Stackoverflow too

Is further destruction the way out? I don't even understand the narrative. Yes, it is painful and sad. But at the same time it could be an accident; break failure. If you ever drove a car, you would understand.

Saw this after typing a whole note. This is the last time I am ever trying to draw the line between the two, they just hate the fact that real and grounded CS graduates are preferred at the top and makes more. They can continue competing with the worst CS graduates and feel that's what CS encompass.

Bro, you are just a hater trying to glorify yourself and your self taught skills. There is a clear line between a CS graduate and a self taught programmer. If you even know what computer science encompasses, you will not make this comparison. I am CS graduate and a self taught programmer alike.

No offense, the same ignorance that drives this post is still why your so called "Self thought programmer" don't go far. If you have worked in a fortune 1000 company you must have come across the phrase "Coding Monkey". This is a term used for people who just learn coding without learning things like algorithms and the entire process of a software development lifecycle. All you know is, Create, Read, Update and Delete.
How many of your so called Self taught programmers can boldly explain how an element is searched in an array? You just know there is a function that comes with the programming language that does that. How fast or efficient it is doesn't concern you. All you know is that it works. Given a task, you can always go to stack overflow and copy a solution without analyzing resource consumption and time complexity.
Go to Google and tell them you are a self taught. Even an average CS graduate don't make it up there because there is a lot.

I can talk on this all day, but let me stop here. And by the way, they don't teach you how to code in CS, they teach you algorithms and you can learn any programming language to implement your algorithm.

The only insecure person I see here... Well.
You guys are trying though, no doubt. But c'mon, y'all should let it rest, there is a clear line. Don't compare someone who just went to get a certificate with someone who actually studied computer science.

Cheers!

Mtchew... Hungry never worry you. I wonder how nonsense like this make FP.

I Stand With isreal . Which I think every Christian should

Which every Christian should? Ignorance is not bliss at all my friend. This same Israeli you are picking side with because of religion are mostly Jews and they hate your Christian guts with passion! Don't just be ignorant, you are part of the problem.

Earlier today, I received an airtime recharge of 1750 after which I received another message from Standard Chartered Bank claiming it's recharge promo for Eid el fitri.

The funny part of it is that I have never crossed their gate before, talk less of making inquiry before thinking of opening an account with them.

Who else received the airtime? Abiiiii...

If you believe your course is relevant. Complete your master's.

I love the determination. Your plan is excellent. Learning programming will even help you provide for your school needs. I am driven by the fact that you know it takes time to learn (sacrificing 2 years).
I am a trainer in one of the prominent ICT institutes in Nigeria, willing to assist you 100% FREE! Please reach out to me if you are in Abuja.

Cheers!

Nice... Started using gsap a couple years ago. It's just frontend animation on steroids! Although for a small project, it can be an overkill. I prefer AOS for small quick projects.

Sheh them wan open beer parlor ni?

We started dating about 4weeks ago! She said if she had known that I'm not a Church goer she wouldn't have accept to date me in the first place.

She just broke up with me now

Ogbeni, what business does an unbeliever have with a church? Christianity that I knew growing up was about the people and Christ, now it is about going to a church to worship a pastor.

Well, I know exactly how you feel. I have had two of those. Broke up because I don't go to church. I personally feel uncomfortable sitting inside a church, knowing I am lying to myself. Who am I deceiving?

Nice read... Most people will say "PROGRAMMING IS HARD", that is just partial truth. Programming just have a steep learning curve. Changing the way you look at problems can be difficult, which is the beginning. Learning how to think logically. But once you understand the basics solidly, you can advance by yourself. It will just be like you climbed the top of a mountain and can now navigate ur way around. It's the climbing that is hard.

programming is fun when learning it in a class or a partner if you go solo just forget it

I learnt solo... Wah you saying bruh? Lol

Why the Naval Service Chief dey always be short man?

Ishilove:



Conductors and passengers fighting is a normal thing.

Ogbeni, there is nothing normal about this! LMAO! ����

Well, I see most concluding that your father is evil. Nobody wants to consider another perspective. It could be that the bird has been terrorising him in his house. As spiritual people, the bird can be someone close and that is his way of imprisonment.

chingle5:


Which one is backend capturing the entire business logic...... In fact that your example is actually the reverse u backend developers are actually the shoe shiner and we the frontend developers are the shoemaker coz we create the product while u people just come from nowhere to just come and be updating one yeye database and throwing request from one place to another place base on CRUD in fact u guys are the shoe shiner

Lol... If you are comparing frontend to backend based on just CRUD, and you feel backend is only based on CRUD, then you are ill advised my friend.

Being a backend developer, you MUST have the basics of a frontend developer, like it or not.
Yes, most applications are based on CRUD, but then, have you as a frontend developer ever wondered the amount of processing that goes on behind the scene?
Take for simple instance, a simple result processing application. Have you ever wondered the amounts of logic required to do the computation of the results behind the scene?

And yes, it is the job of the backend developer to do the coupling of the "YEYE" database, business logic and the frontend.

In many cases, especially in Nigeria where there are no boundaries, the backend developer plays a vital role in setting up the deployment environment (which I am almost sure you have no idea of). Don't worry, I am not talking about whogohost, Bluehost and the other click and upload environments. Talking managing VPS, load balancers, multitier architecture, caches, multi authentication, distributed systems, etc. As a backend developer, it is a requirement to have basic knowledge of these. Let me just stop here[

Please, don't get me wrong. I am not saying frontend is unsophisticated or easy. When you start using a lot of JavaScript and frontend frameworks like ReactJS, Angular, Vue,Ember, BackboneJS and the rest of them, frontend too get quite complex in it's own way.

But then, comparing frontend to backend, get your facts right.

Cheers!

Habby222:
Advice needed pls.

I've been with this guy for close to four years now and its not really been a perfect relationship. Lots of ups and downs due to what I can term insecurity. At some point we're cool and the next minute issues arises just like every other relationship.

He's a good guy to some extent as he showers me with love ( my thoughts)and a lot of times he gives gifts not money though. I've had to give financial assistance to him alot of times, he returns some if he deemed it necessary and doesn't return if he so wishes. I've never complained about this and still always willing to help him out whenever he is in need. Pls note that we're both financially ok.

This gesture of me offering him financial help stopped when I realise he doesn't do same to me. I've had to test him on serval occasions that I needed financial help and he has never for once helped out on those request despite knowing he has. I never needed the money though, I made those request to know if I could actually fall back to him if I'm in need.

Last year October, I told him about my plans of getting a new car as I got tired of the one I was using. Pls note that I did not request him to buy for me neither did I ask for any support whatsoever. I contacted my source in the US with my budget and spec, was able to find one in a short time and I paid for it. All of this moves were known to him. By December, the car arrived and cleared accordingly with every expenses incurred payed by me. He gave some moral support though.

A week after getting the car, he called me one morning and started apologising for not supporting financially in getting the car which I told him I had no issues with that. I told him I wasn't expecting more than moral support from him since I could afford getting the car on my own. I also made him realise he doesn't owe me no apology as I wasn't t his responsibility since we weren't married and that even if we were married, ill always want to get my stuffs myself as long as I can afford it. The next I heard was him ranting on phone that he doesn't expect less from me, said I'm a proud and that he knew I wasn't going to be a good wife. He said he has always known I wasn't going to be a submissive wife and a whole lot of other derogatory words despite not having issues whatsoever prior to that time. I ended the call as I was so surprised he could say those mean words to me.

All through that day he didn't call back and I did not as well cos I was expecting him to realise I was hurt by his actions. A week pass and still no call from him so I decided to call him and he didn't pick. I'd sent a lot of of messages to him and has not replied to any. I'd gone to his house to check up on him and not met him too. Its been three weeks now and we haven't spoken and seen despite all of my effort to talk to him and or see.

Guys please I'm confused and do not know how to handle the issue. Pls advice.

Disclaimer: This is only your side of the story and I will give you my 10 cent based on that.

We humans have this emotional attachment (love) to people we've been with for a long time.

Common sense will tell you that he has been using you for your finances (Like to believe it or not). How can someone always fall to you but you cannot fall back on the person and you expect to live happily ever after? Yes, you said he is financially okay too, but then, we humans are naturally greedy. We want to eat our cake and eat our neighbor's cake too (Sometime our neighbor's own first).

Secondly, someone who cares about you will not take this long to reconcile a matter as mundane as this, even after you making this much effort. Which I am very sure you have flooded his phone with messages.

This is a classic cases of emotional play. He has known you, and knows you will crawl right back begging (Which perhaps have been happening each time you have a dispute).

Yes, it hurts to think of letting someone you have invested so much of your time and resources on go. But then, which is more important, the invested resources or your mental and future wellbeing?

My 10 cent, suck it up. If he cannot realize that he has hurt you, and doesn't care that you are trying hard to make right over this period, then I'm afraid I have to tell you that you are in a toxic relationship.

Again, let him, if he is suffering from insecurity, let his emotions take their toll. When he get back himself, he will come around. Unless another baby don dey give baba bleep. Lol.

Bottom line, let him get himself. If things drift apart, there are millions out there that will make you happy again with time and perhaps better.

Cheers!

In Nigeria, we don't have doctors. What we have are either ignorant trial by error medical reps or hungry and greedy veteran medical reps.

If you fall sick and you go to any so-called hospital in Nigeria, 90% of those reps will immediately place you on MALARIA and/or typhoid treatments without even conducting any tests. So many people have been slowly killed and so many now have resistance for this malaria drugs.

The olodo ignorant dentists too will always result to extraction because that's the easiest approach.

Lazy People.

Isn't it ironic that you mentioned ignorance?

Are you a camel?

First of all, I will advice you go to the bank tomorrow when they open and make a complaint.

Secondly, ask your sister if she tried using her ATM for online purchases, whether declined or successful. I have seen people fall victim of of scam sites that promise widely sought products at ridiculously cheap price. When you enter your card details, it is the end of it. They use your card detail to transact on sites like "wish dot com" that does not send OTP. Some of these international merchants don't even need your PIN, all they require to carry out transaction is your card number and the 3 numbers behind the card.

Like it or not, we are all vulnerable. We can only do our best and hopefully, banks too will play their part to integrate more security features to detect and protect against fraudulent transactions.

I wish you luck.
