Yea the 4th mainland bridge might have been an Election gimmick because nothing has been mobilised yet for the project many years after the proposal was made.

On the Abuja issue, You know i wonder myself as well. How can a city that was created from scatch like abuja not have a rail system planned with it as well . Looking at the main abuja district which is not that big, a rail line can be constructed that encircles all the districts just like the circle line in London. This rail network can be a light railway network just like the Docklands railway.

Well maybe these are just wishfull thinking but me thinks that this is the direction that our leaders should be looking at in trying to solve the transportation problems in our major cities in nigeria.

These are the signs that are made for eachother,
Are you the Zodiac Freak?

I'm a capricorn I came here to get manish
Oh I know its good when you start speaking Spanish
And essentially, You're full of energy after I'm done your still tellin me you want me
I met a gemini, oh what a sex drive
She always wanted it from the front back left and the right
Baby I will guarantee to give you everything your body's missing

These are the signs of love making
Are you the Zodiac Freak
I've been looking for a girl you're sending me
Signs of love making
And you make me say,
ooooh


Damn how do i explain this next one?
This girl right here near blew my mind,

I met a scorpio,
Damn
She had no limit to where she'd go
And she was so damn sexual
She said Tyrese, are you ready for me?
I'll do anything to fulfill your needs
Tell me what you want and I got ya baby
Whisper in my ear while I'm driving you crazy
I'm going to smack you from the side
While I'm grabbing them thighs

Chorus

Libra Gemini Virgo are you with me
Pisces Aries Scorpio are you with me
say yea yea yea
Sagittarius Cancer and Taurus
I don't know what it is but you leo's drive me crazy
Crazy baby

Chorus

I was talking to this girl one day,
And she asked me what is your sign of love
I said a capricorn she was impressed
Baby what is your (sign) (of love) she said a pisces
We're connected
And I think you're kind of sexy baby
She said capricorn take my hand
I'm going to take you to lovers land
I'm going to show you things you've never seen
All night long, in my bed

yes o

Got these pics of the net. wetin una think?

Basically me thinks the old bond character just doesnt make sense anymore i mean who cares about all the so called spy gadgets which are readily available to buy anywhere even the bond cars. That is why u will notice that the new bond films have not really been very successful. The producers are trying to reinvent the series in a bid to save it.

anyone with a sky box in uk can watch Ben Tv or OBE tv and u get to watch AIT n NTA plus other nija centered programmes free, UK rocks

It is much easy for students to change their status in the UK these days especially those that studied science and engineering at either Bsc or Msc level so your statement is not totally true.
the marriage phenomenon is more popular amongst those on visit visa.

bros they are not rich they are just wise enough to invest their money in property. it would be wise u do the same

Yes i heard about the proposal.
What really surprised me was the fact that even at its embroyic stage the government did not deem it fit to have a rail carriage as part of the bridge. A mass transit system is the only solution to the endemic trafiic problems in Lagos and having a metro system even if it is part of the proposed 4th mailand bridge would have been a step in the rright direction.

This goes to show how brainless and myopic our so called leaders are in this modern age

humm caught shagging a latino on d underground, n charged for indecent exposure

This is another case of a lawless society called nigeria

y'all should wait and see the movie first before writing this dude off. I have watched his previous movies in Tomb raider and he was quite decent.
He looks very rugged much unlike the other bonds and i think this are for perculiar reasons mainly to modernize the bond character. He is also blonde which a lot of people are against , i wonder why, anyway after seeing a preview of the movie i think we should give d guy a chance . i really liked his rugged looks.

Nice one Fdeveloper,  i was a bit bored so i did a lame port of your code to java

It all started when a group of mediocre SANs decided that it would uplift their CV if they went to the Court of Justice at The Hague.

http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/B/Bakassi.asp says: "The judgment was largely based on the 1913 Anglo-German agreement that defined the borders of those nations' colonies"

Who elected or mandated the Anglo-German occupiers to speak or sign agreement on our behalf? Any above average SAN would have noticed this piece of information and advised the government of the day to ignore the original case.


This is not jingoism: I would make the same argument for Cameroon if the indigenous people of Bakassi were opting to relocate to Cameroon. If the indigenous people of Bakassi are opting to relocate to Nigeria, how can you give up their land to Cameroon? Now here is a campaign issue if any presidential aspirant wants one.

Laide i cant say my name but remeber we met at a cybercafe in ketu some years back,

nwoye:
Thanks for this posting, however, i know there is so much to know about OLAP.

By the way, does anybody the address and phone number of Expert Edge or anybody working for the coy?

Thanks,
nwoye

Expertedge is located at Ligali Ayorinde street Victoria Island very close to Mobil Producing Nigeria. It is the last house on the street very close to the beach

badguy:
good day all,
I have scoured the net looking for some material on datawarehousing, OLAP, cubes. Can anyone out there help me out. Its really important.

Creating a datawarehouse aware database is very easy . All you need to do is to create a Fact table which has a foreign key to all the tables you are trying to get data for. You can then add a time column to this table so that u can capture data based on time. If you are using oracle u can use a variety of analytical functions available to create cubes .

Hope this helps

laide whats up i jam u again for here na wa oo. u to like internet

Ogisosoft:
but another man told that Nigerian programmers cannot not make it, that everybody like foreign programs.

Please advice. Peace.

I dont think that is totally true. Basically some nija companies prefer foreiegn sofwtare because there is no readily available local alternative. What u can do is to identify these areas and creat a product so that companies can readily have alternativces. Foriegn softwares are not only expensive, they have to be customized to the nigerian enviroment.

I think all u have to do to be a successful self employed programmer is to identify problems and create competively priced products solving those problems it is the same logic in nija and in all other parts of the world.

The edge you guys have in nija is that there are just so many problems that needs to be solved.

Nice CV. What are the newer technologies you have experience in ? Is it PHP , Ruby or Aspect J

Dude with your skills set u should be the next nigerian bill gates ,

What are the potential market for the product once it has been developed ?

Try to make ur project more agile and iterative. Basically u need to break down the project u wanna do into features and implement these features in iterations. You will be more likely to develop a better product that meets the requirements of ur customer this way.

It depends on what u really want. There are lots of DIY solar panel kits that are very affordable and can help you power home appliances like a TV, fan , fridge. The trick is the more power you need the costlier it is because you would require more solar panels to generate more watts.

However this cost is just the initital set up cost as once its installed the life span can be close to 20 years without any need for repairs except occasional battery changes.

of a google search a list of companies providing solar systems can be found at http://energy.sourceguides.com/businesses/byGeo/byC/Nigeria/byP/solar/solar.shtml

If you are a DIY enthusiat u can get relatively cheap DIY kits at http://store.sundancesolar.com/plsoensy.html. They have lots of starter solar kits which can get you started if u have basic energy needs.

Sounds good but i think we really need to start looking at renewable sources of energy.
There is so much polution already and having a geninverter would still course polution. Solar energy should be the way to go. Cost of initial set up is high but maintance is very low and the effects on the environment is almost zero

This movie is one of the best i ve watched in a while. I am actually a fan of the comic book and i was so excited when a movie was done for it.

It's got the action for those who don't care to look beyond the surface, but for Thinking People (tm), it's a big wake-up call disguised as an action flick.

I personally loved Natalie Portman in the movie. Her acting was extremely appropriate, I think. And Hugo Weaving truly impressed me. I'd never paid much attention to him before, but as V, he was so expressive you forgot that he was wearing a mask. The inflections in his voice, the tilt of his head, his movements, all conveyed a depth of expression that most actors without masks can't achieve.

It was well-made, with fantastic cinematography and excellent casting. And, unlike most movies nowadays, it actually had a message, rather than being merely an action flick.

If you like the movie just like me why don't u read the script at http://www.imsdb.com/scripts/V-for-Vendetta.html

hucarson:

It's wierd none of y'all play the baddest computer games.
I play on X-box 360 and PS-2 games.
My fav. PS-2 games are Pro-Evolution soccer 5-(I think all the FIFA series are rubbish).
I love Call of Duty 1 and 2(The Red one).
I love Conflict Desert Storm and Conflict Vietnam.
Mortal Kombat,Devil May Cry Series,Tekken 4&5.
Need for Speed.

Big ups we seem to have the same taste. I love smashing the button in Pro-Evolution 5, Call of Duty is awesome, Halo is my best game ever,  Dead or Alive 3 is cool and Ghost recon is even cooler

All you people beefing java are just plain lazy in your brains. for crying out loud how can someone calling himself a programmer say java is difficult to learn and yet the same person would recommend c/c++. Microsoft stole Java syntax for c# in other to encourage Java programers to migrate to .net but it failed.

Contrary to what majority of u folks here have said. Java is the Defacto langugue for Enterprise Software Developemnt. I am not talkiing about some lame ass web development project .

And guess what , Java programmers are the highest paid and the most sort after developers in the industry today. just check out www.monster.com or www.jobserve.com type in java or php or c# or vb in the search box and see the number of jobs returned and the average salary and compare
Keys reasons for java's success.

Open source community-
Javas open source community is the most vibrant and this community have contributed in no small way in the advancement of software engineering and development. It is the java community that for example introduced Test driven development, Object Relational Mapping, Invesion of control, Model view Controlller programming, Aspect oreinted programming etc.

Software development is not just about seating on a damn computer and coding away without the application of serious thought as to how the software would be used ,maintained easily or tested. This are the fundamental issues in software engineering and Java as a langugue has contributed in no small way in addressing these issues.

Now other langugues have copying these best practices and yet you people say Java has failed.

Agreed learning the various technologies on offer in Java can be really daunting and frustrating a times and i am talking from personal expreince but i do not agree that the languague itself is difficult.

Agreed you might not want to use java if you are just developing some toy project and all . However if you are into enterprise solutions and are looking for something Non Micro$oft then Java it is. And this is exactly what makes java so attractrive

My Advice,
If you are starting out programming and you want to have a career as a sofware engineer . start by learning Java, then C# and probably VB. If at any point in time you want to hack up some quick and dirty web app you can use a variety of reasources online and learn PHP this wouldnt take you more than a week its that easy to learn and use.

If you are already a PHP programmer and are open minded, it would do u good if u learnt Java and c# to be a more complete programmer and to have access to more jobs or solve more complex problems

If you are a PHP programmer and not open minded well good luck to u.

If you just want to play around with programming learn PHP and have fun while it lasts.


I rest my case,
