Who is Bidden, and how can he be found guilty of electoral fraud? You mean he singlehandedly wrote fake results and gave it to the electoral officers and secretaries of states he won to publish? Mind you elections in the US are conducted by each state by the secretaries of state according to laws passed by the state assemblies.

Trump loves the poorly educated

It's a grand conspiracy by some political juggernauts against Trump.
Time would tell

DennisEche:
I was a big supporter of the Trump Presidency and campaign but with his recent utterances, I hereby dissociate my self from the madness he is exhibiting. I think his meeting with Bubu affected his mental reasonings.he is becoming lifeless ,Clueless and useless like the famous Mr Lifeless.
The man Trump is so unfit to rule the greatest nation on Earth.

What if Biden is found guilty of electoral fraud?
Mark my words, Trump would still win.

If this is true, then, it is corruption and injustice at the highest level.
God does not like injustice.
Did someone ask me why Nigeria isn't winning the war against insecurity and BH.
I personally don't like old people holding government offices because they would be full of bias, hatred and most times vindictiveness.

Talk24:
Oh please don't tell me that game development is not "lucrative". In fact at a time like this, the game development platform is one of the most profitable, because most of your potential players around the world are just sitting at home doing nothing (due to COVID-19). In the early days of the Appstore and Playstore, It was very easy for your app to go viral, even if it is a paid app. But now, as newer monetisation models are introduced, selling your game has proven to be a difficult nut to crack. I'm pretty sure there are a lot of Nigerians with jaw-dropping ideas for games, but just don't know how to execute them. Today, We will be taking a look at the top 4 reasons why there aren't many game programmers in Nigeria, and why most Nigerian Game Devs give up after publishing their first game to the Playstore/Appstore.

1. Lack of Marketing Skills/Strategy
A lot of game programmers think that the moment they publish their game to the Appstore, then they will become a millionaire. We all know that is not true, in fact let me break it to you, you probably are not going to make a million dollars from your first game, but that should not let you down. You need to think of a marketing strategy to let people know about your game. In order to make a killer game, you have to sit down and watch your opponents in the platform. For example, if you are working on a first-person shooter, then study other FPS games out there on the Appstore/Playstore are try to figure out their weaknesses. Remember the game flappy bird? Yeah that game was hugely popular around 2014, at a point the developer was making about $50,000 from the game each day. When Flappy Bird was released, it was given a low rating, A lot of people complained that it was rigged and too hard. But things changed after the popular YouTuber, PewDiePie reviewed the game and complained about how difficult the game was. But believe it or not, that made Flappy Bird popular. Flappy Bird introduced the world to a whole new genre of games, Hypercasual games. Flappy bird was not popular because, It had the best graphics, in fact, the pixelated art in the game was a turn-off for most people initially. Flappy Bird grew in popularity, because a popular YouTuber reviewed the game. In order to make all the effort you put in your game seem worthwhile, you need to figure out how to market it. If you got the budget, then advertise your game on Instagram (not Facebook , because no one really uses Facebook these days). You can advertise with Google and other and networks, get social.media influencers to begin to talk about your game. Advertising is not enough to boost the number of downloads for your game. There are other factors like ASO(App store Optimization) which works like SEO, The ratings your game has, when your game was last updated, etc. Of course if you are low on budget, you can use the $0 Marketing strategy, but that is a topic for another time.

2. Starting too big
Now don't get me wrong, there is nothing about dreaming big. But mehn, Some Nigerians are too ambitious. You can't tell me you just finished learning C#/C++ and now you want to make 3D games like GTA, or Fortnite. These games were developed by huge companies with several professionals on the job, yet it took them several years to bring the game to life. You just finished learning C#? I know you have a lot of dreams but please cut your dream in half and please get your game finished. When you are done, you game might not be up to Appstore's standards but not to worry, you can publish it to popular websites made for indie game Devs like itch.io. If you need ideas for games you can head over to itch.io and join a game jam. Start small and grow big. Don't start with unity game engine, start with smaller game engines like Godot Game Engine, which honestly despite small size (about 30MB), The engine is still able to create better looking 2D/2.5D games than Unity and Unreal
. You can also tryout other less powerful engines like Game maker and Construct. These engines will help shape you and tell you what you are up against. Don't start by trying to make something as labour intensive as a game engine.

3. Lack of electricity
Honestly, as a game developer, a lot of your time will be spent looking at your computer screen trying to fix an annoying bug that is causing your game to crash. The electricity situation in Nigeria is nothing to.write home about, It is gradually improving though, I think a lot more could be done.

4. Being too local
One mistake game developers make is making their game too local. Now don't get me wrong, creating a game based on the African heritage is pretty cool, but you need to think beyond that. Remember that most players don't even speak English. So as you make your game try as much as you can to translate your game to other languages, so that players around the world will be able to enjoy your game without any language barriers. Don't limit the language in your game to English/Pidgin

Please free to add your thoughts too.

Another and the main reason many people shy away from game dev is because it is freaking difficult. Coding alone is difficult let alone adding maths and physics to it.

Finally, in terms of lucrativeness, web development on average is more profitable than game dev in Nigeria and most countries worldwide.

Youths and their display of ignorance.

NASS has every right to quiz Keyamo on the strategy put in place and measures as regarding implementation and how the system would work.


Keyamo assumes personal relationship with the presidency and being able APC stogee exonerates him from being quizzed when it comes to national matters





Much of what has been in public space has been the blackmail and libel against NASS by Keyamo without fair hearing to the accused party.








1. Keyamo needs to have a lecture on dissociation party affairs from national matters







2. Ministers under the past administration most times focused on national issues and knew how to separate it from political gains







3. As to whether members of the Senate needs personal slots isn't an excuse to not be called to provide clarity on the stratagem that will be employed in running the system






4. While Keyamo continued in his rant and armatuerish tantrums he also failed in newspaper and traditional media to put forward systems that will be put in place to ensure the operational system that will guide this idea







5. Fashion has been quizzed before by the Senate and focused in many cases fact for fact despite he too trying to throw in biases to Mar the integrity of NASS





6. When Amotekun was to be formed, the law makers quizzed a legal framework for its operations and a legal framework and technical guide should and must be in place for all federal constituted related enrolments and service to which keyamo made mention of thing about this but focused on blackmail and libel








7. Keyamo as a minister should not be acting independtly which is a typical of him to be irritated when quizzed. Anyone to serve the public must at all means be ready to be quizzed. Even the custom boss was quizzed when it mattered, CBN GOVERNOR, Minister for labour. And Keyamo should stop being petty and do the needful





8. The Presidency needs NASS and must work with NASS and can not solely and doesn't have the right on sole propertiorship on the entire exercise. This is a democracy not an autocratic arrangement

He did not decline their meeting but declined having it behind closed doors to ensure transparency.

Help Me Recover My Glory

THIS IS MY STORY

I started masturbating partially at the age of 19, I was a shy guy I don't have a girlfriend, everyone taught that I was a virgin. This masturbation became serious at the age of 24. I decided to quit Masturbation.

I said let me visit a prostitute, I paid her 3k, we started romancing each other, but I noticed that my dick did not erect. I was highly embarrassed, I thought because the lady was older than me, she was 33 yrs.

I visited 3 more prostitutes which are young girls in their twenties, it was the same thing, the dick did not erect at all.

Note: I normally have rock erection Even when a lady sit on my lap, early morning waking up I also use to have rock erection before I meet the first prostitute. From there I went back to masturbation again partially. At the age of 21 I made my first 1.5 million naira through business, but I noticed since I started visiting this prostitute my business collapse I could hardly boast of #200k in my account.

Around 2018 I decided to get a girlfriend, because all prostitute I meet my dick cannot rise to penetrate them. My first girlfriend was cute, I love her and she loves me. One certain day something led to something we got intimate, I romance her very well she was already screaming, she wanted me to put my dick inside but I noticed it was flaccid no erection at all. She noticed and got up and dress herself. After that day she started giving me attitude and that was how I broke up with her.

I got about 4 more girlfriend all of them broke up with me when the notice that my dick does not erect. After all this I felt like the whole world is gone, I finally got another girl friend. Anything that would lead to romance I normally tell her that as Christian we must not have sex until we are married. She would say that this is the first time she is dating a guy like me. That she loves me with all her heart. We have dated for one year now without sex, I promise her that we would have sex on our wedding night.

I am currently 27 yrs and I feel dejected. Does it mean that I may never have a child of mine own. I got tired of my situation I went into 3 days dry fasting praying to God to deliver me from sin and to restore my lost erection. ..

On the second day of the fast I was in a trance and I vommitted a lot of poison. I woke up and thanked God. After that fasting I don't normally have bad dreams of evil spirit pressing down my spirit. But I noticed that my erection have not yet been restored. Please I need help. I need God to restore my Glory. I would never use it for masturbation or fornication. Help me on what to do. I am in distress

Maintain a good exercise routine (Atleast 3 times a week)

Eat healthy (Eat lots of fruit)

Reduce sugar intake

Keep being prayerful.

jayphe:

Phew!! I'm sorry for that long break. I know many people for don vex. I'm sorry. I'm back with an exercise but this one is kinda simple.
Exercise 7
Write a Python program that accepts data from the user be it integer, string, char, float or double. The program stores these in a container/array (list or tuple)

Finally, the program accepts an index from the user and uses the index to find the respective element if the array created. The program then prints the result.e.g.,
Let's say a user inputs the following:
Sam
12
Ben
Lagos
22
Tolu

The user then input 3 as the index, the program must return 'Ben' as the output.

Shouldn't Lagos have an index of 3 from your example

When I say I will show you how to get a job in 4 months, I literally mean 4 months! But the fact is that the mindset must start from you. How must it start?

They basically lied to us that all we needed was going to school, become an Engineer, and get a job that makes us a millionaire. The end result is seeing Engineers becoming marketers in the banks or cashiers.

Others who aren’t so lucky are still searching for a good job to survive until this point in time. The ones who have a job are mostly earning less than 50k Naira monthly. This is bad and you can’t achieve anything tangible with that amount.

In the coming months, inflation would increase; what are your plans to deal with that?

I will show you how you can get a good job in 4 months. It has worked for almost everyone who applied the same steps. You want to know how?

How to get a high paying job in 4 months

https://topwritersden.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/got-a-jon.jpg

The secret is that every 4 months (i.e the start of every quarter), most companies recruit people to add up to their staff force. How can you be among those recruited? Let me show you;

Change your mindset

Thinking of getting just any job shouldn’t be your target as a young graduate. You should aim for the best jobs that have a massive salary structure.

Most people come out of school and NYSC, hoping just to get any job to survive. It might be true that there are no many jobs, but there are jobs for qualified people on how to have the skills.

Gain a Lucrative Skill

As funny as it may sound, I will tell you that I have never seen any software developer that is looking for a job in Nigeria.

A female friend of mine graduated with accounting and searched for jobs for 8 months without success. I convinced her to learn Software Development as a side skill. Despite not any knowledge of ICT, she pulled through.

Now she works with a new generation bank and earns more than 350,000 Naira as her monthly income. When she gets promoted, the salary would surely increase.

Looking at the job market in Nigeria, I can only recommend two skills for you;

- Software Development (Java, PHP, Python)
- Mobile Application Development

Any of the above is lucrative and would give you a job within 4 months after learning it.

Rewrite your CV

Now you’ve got a new skill, it is time to flaunt it like no man’s business. You have to use a good format to showcase your new skills and attract employers to your CV.

Add a cover letter to your CV

You can write a cover letter around the new skill you have acquired and the related job role. A cover letter is what explains your skills, capabilities and what you have to offer. There is a standard to write a cover letter, and I have explained that before in this post. So you can read it and get to know the tactics.

Use Legit Job Sites

I would want you to know that so many of the job sites available are filled with scams and non-existent jobs.

There are few job sites to follow, and you can see them where I wrote it by visiting this page.

Doing all of these, I guarantee you that within 4 months, you will get a job. It has been tested, tried, and proven. I wish you all the best in your hustle and life endeavors.

Drop a comment and I will respond to you immediately.

It's true but it would take about 1-2 years before you can get a software developer job (from a software developer).

STATEMENT ON THE RETURN OF THE ABACHA STOLEN MILLIONS FROM THE UNITED STATES AND JERSEY

On Monday, May 4, 2020, some $311 million US Dollars - stolen from the citizens of Nigeria during the Abacha regime - were safely returned to our country from the United States.

These funds have already been allocated, and will be used in full, for vital and decades-overdue infrastructure development: The second Niger Bridge, the Lagos-Ibadan and Abuja-Kaduna-Kano expressways - creating tens of thousands of Nigerian construction jobs and local skills, which can then be useful in future projects.

Part of the funds will also be invested in the Mambilla Power Project which, when completed, will provide electricity to some three million homes - over ten million citizens - in our country.

The receipt of these stolen monies - and the hundreds of millions more that have already been returned from the United Kingdom and Switzerland - are an opportunity for the development of our nation, made far harder for those decades the country was robbed of these funds.

Indeed, previous monies returned last year from Switzerland - some $320 million US dollars - are already being used for the government’s free school feeding scheme, a stipend for millions of disadvantaged citizens, and grain grants for those in severe food hardship.

Without these funds, the fight against Covid-19 would be even tougher.

The latest return is a testament to the growing and deepening relationship between the government of Nigeria and the government of the United States.

Without the cooperation both from the UK Government, the US Executive branch and US Congress, we would not have achieved the return of these funds at all.

For years many countries deemed successive Nigerian administrations as too corrupt, too venal and too likely to squander and re-steal the stolen monies - so they did not return the funds.

Today, US, UK and other jurisdictions have found the partnership with the nation of Nigeria they can finally trust.

The Buhari Administration is committed to - and is enacting - total and zero tolerance to corruption in politics and public administration.

The days when government was seen and used by the political class as their personal ATM to empty are over.

The time of better governance and clean hands in the affairs of state is here to stay.

Please Kano state should be isolated at this moment in time.
Nobody leaves, nobody enters, otherwise, they would fully spread it to neighbouring states.
This is no time to be sentimental or to show tribalism.
Truth be told, NCDC needs to really step up their game, from the look of things, we haven't even reached the peak.
Ghana recorded 60% spike in covid-19 cases after they eased their lock down, only God knows how ours would be.
I think we should synergize with Madagascar, they have above 100 cases with no death, it's no fluke but the fact that they have an effective solution/treatment.
A word is enough for the wise.

He is a wicked and selfish father.
He didn't even see to calling NCDC or any relevant govt agency to see to his son's safety or isolation. He just left his own son on the street to infect others if he is covid-19 positive and not him. He doesn't know that the spread of any virus is like networking, if his son is positive and he infects anyone on the street, the virus would keep moving and may eventually get to him (the father).
Finally, blood is thicker than water, he should not have done that to his own blood. Once this pandemic is over, his son would never forgive him, and believe me, the father has sinned against God.

I wonder how this came to be

The above code is hard to read and has a poor time complexity.

This is easier and more efficient:


string = "This 4 can 77 it"
container = ""
number_list = []

for char in string:
if char.isdecimal():
container+=char

else:
if container != "":
number_list.append(container)
container = ""


print(number_list)

Daddyshome:
Note: I am a beginner, so don't expect clean code. Also, I suck at naming variables . It can definitely be improved upon. I can protect the code with trys here and there, to prevent certain errors. I don't know if the list is necessary, but I don't know any way to sort dictionaries by time or maybe I should have stored the contacts using another data type. Criticism is welcome


contacts = dict()
contacts_date = list()


def save_contact(name, number):
contacts[name] = number
contacts_date.append([name, number])
print('contact saved')

def display_contact_alphabetical():
print('Name\tNumbers')
for i, j in sorted(contacts.items()):
print( '{}\t{}'.format(i, j))


def delete(name):
contacts_date.remove([name, contacts[name]])
del contacts[name]
print('contact deleted')

def display_contact_date():
for a, b in contacts_date:
print('{}\t{}'.format(a, b))


def edit_contact_name(old_name, new_name):
tmp = contacts[new_name]
delete(old_name)
save_contact(new_name, tmp)
print('Contact information updated')


def edit_contact_num(name, new_num):
delete(name)
save_contact(name, new_num)
print('Contact information updated')


while True:
print('Press \n1. To save a contact\n2. To display contats\n3. To delete a contact\n4. To edit a contact\n5. To quit')
user_input = int(input())
if user_input == 1:
response_to_one = input('Enter name and number')
cont_name, cont_num = response_to_one.split()
save_contact(cont_name, cont_num)
elif user_input == 2:
print('Press \n1. To display alphabetically\n2. To display by time')
reply = int(input())
if reply == 1:
display_contact_alphabetical()
elif reply == 2:
display_contact_date()
elif user_input == 3:
response_to_three = input('Enter name')
delete(response_to_three)
elif user_input == 4:
print('Press \n1. To edit contact name\n2. To edit contact number')
reply_two = int(input())
if reply_two == 1:
reply_two_one = input('Enter old name and new name')
old_name, new_name = reply_two_one.split()
edit_contact_name(old_name, new_name)
elif reply_two == 2:
reply_two_two = input('Enter name and number')
cont_name, cont_num = reply_two_two.split()
edit_contact_num(cont_name, cont_num)
elif user_input == 5:
print('Exiting')
break

contact _date list is misleading as there aren't any date in it (Lol).

To use dates in Python, you can make use of the datetime module, it's straight forward, however, nice program.

Due to the numerous "i want to start programming, which language should i start with" threads on this board i decided to create a thread that will address this issue. I am not a wonderful writer and i won't say i know it all but i will try. I urge every one on this board to correct me where i err an also contribute in whatever way you can to make this thread worth it. I will try as much as possible not to be biased in this write up.

I am not going to go into detail in defining what programming is because i will assume before entering this thread you should already know what programming is. But in summary programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and computer programming is the act of creating whatever you want with your brain and a computer. You can read more from

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_programming

Programmers could also be called software programmers, software developers and other big-big names you can think of.

Feel free to ask your questions, i will try and answer the ones i can my Ogas in the house will help me with those i can't answer

Please every Programmer should try as much as possible to check on this thread once in a while to help answer some questions Newbies would like to ask.
