Nawa for you ooo. Why else do you think he created this section. How come you do not see his plot?

If christians dont know that nairaland is anti christian and has a subtle atheistic propaganda, then smh.

Try opening a thread titled "Born-again pastor lays hands on naked woman" and attach a dubious link. It would make front page within seconds.

Open another named "Pastor engages in charity", it will rot here.

Please open your eyes and see for youself what is really going on.

Why do you guys always presume that the owner of this website is an atheist?

The man is a Muslim. It's glaring.

Thanks for the post. So to rectify the issue I have to reformat my pc thereby losing all my apps, data and settings?


That's messed up because I actually bought the ram because of an application I use which required it. I have never reformatted this pc since I got it 2 years ago and now because of new RAM I have to wipe it clean?

So anyone with a PC with above 3GB RAM must be on a 64bit setting?

was it not last week that we saw a picture of one that danfo nearly finished on FP ?

I just upgraded my Ram from 3gig to 4gig but my system does not want to utilize the new RAM. The PC has 2 RAM slots and i put 2gig RAM in each slot. What could be the solution to this issue?

Till this moment many folks out there don’t know that Infinix have produced their first and only android device with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset.

And yes Infinix Hot 3 LTE variant is the first and only Infinix device that came with Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset and not MTK as it used to be.

But the reason behind the lack of awareness of the Infinix Hot 3 LTE device with Qualcomm chipset is because Infinix had the first variant of the Infinix Hot 3 X554 that is without swag dumped here in Nigeria and kept the Hot 3 LTE with juicier specs in Indonesia.

Later on, Infinix went ahead to boycott Nigeria and took the first and only Infinix device with Qualcomm chipset to the shores of Kenya and as we speak the device is currently selling in Kenya for about Ksh11,699 which is equivalent to about N36,000.

Now, have you ever wondered why Infinix boycotted the Nigeria market that is supposedly going to be a larger market for higher sales of the product but went ahead to take it far away to the Eastern African country of Kenya?

We cannot really figure out the rationale behind such move but it also reminded us of the latest PayPal move that also boycotted Nigeria and went ahead to open full PayPal fund reception to Zimbabweans.

How many LTE network providers are in Nigeria? Let's compare to that of Kenya first before asking the rationale behind their marketing strategy

I was travelling yesterday, from Owo to Ilesha. Just leaving Ogbese towards akure airport, an oncoimg car while trying to dodge a large crater on the road suddenly left its lane and faced the vehicle in front of mine. It was a tight call,the car ahead immediately swerved off the road and in a split moment reaction i braked and swerved only to find i had lost my steering control with the car skidding off into the bush. Being a car equipped with ABS, i would expect to still have some steering control while hard braking. But alas i saw my self rushing through the bush only a small ditch stopped the car. I felt guilty my ABS light has been on, and i hadnt bothered about rectifying it. Luckily no serious damage was done to the car, just scratches to my clean paint .I intend to fix all before travelling any long distance with this car again.
Please house whats they first step ? This is ONDO state not lag. Its difficult finding any Kazeem that knows what an ABS is. I am in Owo presently, any advice or recommendation woul be appreciated.

Car is a 2004 Kia Optima Ex 2.4l i4.

Op edit your heading to 'HOW' and not 'WHY' it saves lives.

We all know ABS is installed in cars to save lives but few people know 'HOW' it does it and not 'WHY'

[color=#000033]If someone reports them to NCC. More free money for (NCC) again. [/color]

what about us? is there no way we can get the free money too?

NCC self get as their own wahala be, them and MTN are now like husband and wife. Everyday dragging MTN for money as if NCC wan take the money go market go buy food stuffs

Can you imagine that i called them up this morning and a call centre assistant informed me (after allegedly cross checking the info available to him) that the promo was wrong. He told me that it was only valid for 7 days against the 14 days i saw on the advert and that the same USSD code is correct.

I told him the code is not working for me and i am seeing an advertised validity of 14days, but he wont believe me. He started asking many unnecessary questions like what plan i am on e.t.c . He said i should load extra N500 and opt for the N1000 plan which gives 300MB and N3,500 to call all networks valid for 14 days if the validity was my issue . . . imagine! that i should play 'baba-ijebu' on their network again oh! after the last USSD code didnt work?

He then told me that if the USSD code was giving me an eror i could still send a message to activate the same promo on my sim. The code i was given was to send 'V300' to 131 FOR THE SAME ADVERT OH (minus 7 days validity as it was a mistake from their part). Okay na, i then sent the message after i hung up and literally DIED of RAGE. See the screenshot below to see what the robbers gave me and took my N500 (after advertizing thrash)

long story short . . . MTN are thieves and have confused fellows handling their adverts and promos. I just called customer care again to complain but got another random guy, i was so livid i cussed the guy and hung up.

I don port go AIRTEL for now, at least these ones no dey lie lie anyhow

I was working late into the night and my internet data got exhausted. I needed to finish what i was working on so i started looking for an alternative.

I had an etisalat and mtn sim, i since etisalat was not too strong in my area i decided to instead look towards renewing my MTN data subscription. As i was checking my call credit balance i once again saw a promo which MTN had been offering which i earlier ignored. Since i only had to save the work and upload to my dropbox i opted for their advertised promo. I called up a friend at this unholy hour and he sent me some airtime.

I loaded the required N500 and then proceeded to activate my MTN awoof bundle but alas, MTN reminded me that their own things dey usually get 'K' leg. The darned USSD code will not even work at all . . . i mean, this is something they had been advertising for weeks.

Now i am stuck and will go to bed angry. Tomorrow morning any MTN call centre agent i call up and abuse should forgive me.

Hey guys, happy holiday.
I wish the moon can wait like this every year

So... just a little play and throw back time to cool off for the holiday. Friday ain't far though.

This thread will be about sharing our reasons for choosing a department in high school, the factors and people that aided your choice of course of study even though you ended up not practising it.

For me, I grew up being very organised and always wanted to be able to account for whatever I had and plan for what I needed. In junior secondary I did very well in all subjects save for Music (those musical notes were like rocket science). I remember enjoying my shorthand, Introductory Technology drawing, my fine art designs and sketching a skeleton in Integrated Science.  So, in a way I was well to do on every side. Subtly, I  had settled within me to study Physiology for the awe of the workings of the human body, the ecosystem and other living organisms I learnt from Integrated Science. Till the nightmare of balancing equation and all those chemical shii came up. I had 2 of my teachers explain the topics to me but to no avail.

I knew not understanding chemical components was gonna be trouble for me in Chemistry so I settled for Commercial dept when it was time to choose. I wasn't completely happy about this decision. Meanwhile, my clique of friends all went to science department. At the beginning of 3rd term I had made up my mind to switch to Sciences and discussed with my mum to come speak with the school management. I went ahead to collect notes of the prior terms from my closest friend (of blessed memory) in Science dept so I can catch up with what they had done.

Well, he influenced me to come his house. Unknowing to me that he had told his elder sister who was a chartered accountant to advise me to remain in commercial department and be my best there. The set up worked and I had a counsel of my life and that was the last day I ever pondered on being a science student.

Unfortunately, He died at the end of that term. I finished high and studied accounting at the university. Today, I practice as an accountant and I love every bit of it.

So... who's next, let's hear your story. 

Since I was small I like money. I already said to everyone who would ask that I wanted to be a Banker.

I went straight to commercial class and aced it. I wrote poly jamb, jamb and aced it. Got admission on merit to study accounts and poly and banking at uni. I chose banking. And it was good.


Fast forward to 3rd year, I was a computer nerd. I learnt computers stuff from here and there so fast within my undergraduate days, I was questioning myself by my final year if I might have chosen a wrong career path. It made me lose some focus in studies But all the same I pushed on.

Now I've made up my mind to study further and return to get a degree in ICT. Hopefully an advanced degree because I have my own practical experience plus the zeal to learn



It's a wonderful thing when someone discovers his/her talent at a young age. Parents and teachers are supposed to be the ones monitoring to see if they can spot them in children on time too. With focus if they build on it that child will be great no doubt.



Look at people who achieve major stuff in modern computer technologies I the world today, many did their magic before hitting their 30's. It's happening because they started very early.


Over 80% of schools in Nigeria don't have a standard computer lab/room, children with affinity to developing thunderstorms on computers can't shine if they don't go to the right schools.

It's not that I hate Toyota brands, it's just that I've not been erotically drawn to any before (both suv and sedan) maybe except for the 05/06 avalon ONLY. I don't like past or future designs of that model.


I mean, there are cars that as you see their front coming you would just like to turn your head and look at when the zoom past you. Apart from that particular avalon model year I don't bother twisting my neck for any Toyota.

What is this again? Why always complaining of those cars getting robbed? Is it unusual? It's something that is bound to happen giving the condition of our citizenry


Ask anybody who car to buy as first car. . . Ask which is easy to maintain . . . Ask which consumes lowest fuel ever. ..

Nigerians like Toyota, so why won't the robbers like it better? Don't you know Nigerian car thieves don't like to export their market?


Till we accept to try other alternative brands more often I see that those cars will still be hot cake to those crooks. That's why I can never buy any of them no matter what.

That, plus they look too 'just there' for my taste. I never fantasized about any camry or corolla brand in my life. I prefer a golf4 to camry 2.2 and golf 5 to spider 07-11. If the corolla isn't XRS I won't even see it if I'm standing in front of it (no matter the year). Toyota is not even trying with the way they are designing the new models.

What about EOD? is there an android system for this Accord model? How much is it please?

Kaycee7:
@Bolded, it was Aerith that died, not Tifa. And your friend's sister is just one among thousands that mourned her.

True that. It wasn't tifa that died. I played it in 1999, that's a long time ago. I heard there's a remake on pc but I've not seen it.

That time sephiroth conjured cloud to give him the black materia. I had my first mini heart attack. Something I suffered to get, I fought bosses for months at a stretch just to get it. Then the foolish boy just gave it away 'just like that' . . . E pepper me sha


Omo that time, just to beat a boss. You go fear strategies and strategizing. Sometimes 1 month you never see him weakpoint.

Final fantasy 7 & 8,
all the Tomb Raider series.
They dont make games difficult anymore so sad....

When I was in jss2 I had a friend who was living near me and we went to the same school together.

After much persuasion my friends mom decided to send down a ps1 for him from USA. She send 3 games, rayman3, resident evil directors cut and final Fantasy 7

My friend was angry, who no football? What is final Fantasy? We tried the game and it looked like crap, we wondered at the waste (3 whole cds) that could have been other games. My friends mom won't send anything till the following year for him so no hope of new games

We used 3 months to finish rayman, sweet game

Used around 3 months for the resident evil

We didn't think of touching that final Fantasy, not until my friends elder sis started playing it. I would come around and be drawn to the thing. I mean it actually looked 'somehow' from the rayman and other adventure games I knew then

That girl played it for 1 week and we took over the save from her lol we made it a rule that nobody would play the game except the 3 of us were together. THE GAME WAS TOO SWEET I found myself staying late at their home more often and I took the occasional scolding boldly with a smile


Then I would come to school and wait till break to go and find my friend for the latest gist on clouds adventures. That time when tifa died my friends sis actually cried. . . It was epic


I love to play a remake of final Fantasy 7, it's my best game of all time till date. I've played many games but none made me feel as FFIV did


Lie lie

Yes the standard was already high before evans started with them but they needed someone better as a lead


Evans just made the show boring

.

Its official, Chris Evans has stepped down as host of “Top Gear.” Evans took to Twitter to announce his departure from the show, stating that he gave it his best but that sometimes the best isn’t enough. He continued by saying that the team is “beyond brilliant” and that he wished them all well. It isn’t known yet who will replace Evans on “Top Gear.”


In his own words:

✔@achrisevans

Stepping down from Top Gear. Gave it my best shot but sometimes that's not enough. The team are beyond brilliant, I wish them all the best.



 Last week, rumors of drama surfaced, with the British outlet The Telegraph reporting that Matt LeBlanc, Evans’ co-host, was threatening to quit the show if Evans didn’t go first. There were also reports from sources close to the show that Evans was rude on set and frustrating to work with. Since the departure of the original trio of hosts, the new season of “Top Gear” has been hit by multiple scandals and controversies, including the resignation of the show’s executive producer, Lisa Clark, who claimed that Evans was “tyrannical.”

Looming above all of this are numerous reports that Evans is under renewed scrutiny about claims of sexual harassment dating back to the 1990s. It isn’t clear to what degree this motivated Evans to leave the show, but it may have been the straw that broke the camel’s back on an overall tenuous tenure as lead presenter.

Ever since the new season launched, the number of people watching “Top Gear” has dropped. One of the more recent episodes only received 2.34 million views, which was lower than the previous lowest record of 2.36 million in June 2003. In addition to the alleged issues between Evans and LeBlanc, other hosts weren’t thrilled with his leadership either.

aariwa:
Op you must be from Enugu state cos this trend is common among them

Na wao! Why that particular state nah?

Or is it because 'eNUGU' rhymes with 'A MuGu'?

Take ya time oh!

^^^ my friend please endeavor to post comments on this thread so others could also benefit from the information you wish to pass on to me. I know you mean well but I rather we discuss this on the forum than privately.

Thanks for your help brother

Hi, I followed the link and read about the opportunity. It seems wonderful and exactly something I am interested in. Please what are other requirements for application for the loan for we serving corpers apart from registering a company?

^^^

Okay would do that. Thanks a lot.

@everyone else viewing : so you're telling me that no single individual who has served in the NYSC past or present on this forum has ever applied for and acquired this government loan I am inquiring about? It's hard to believe oh! Getting a loan isn't something to be ashamed of, big coys and wealthy individuals still apply for loans all the time talk less of we who are starting life.

Well, I will be the first then and come back to update this thread or start another one for those who will also want to benefit from it like I would. I still wait to read from someone who has benefitted from this scheme anyway, let's share ideas and information. After all that's what we are all on this forum for isn't it?

lilkech:
I have been on this forum for a decade. I do business here regularly and I have been mentally enriched thanks to the good posts and contributions of thousands of people who are also here doing their thing. I have never traded words with anybody and I won't do so for any reason .

Read the op's original post and point out where he made a SINGLE complaint. He just told everyone of his intention to do something PRODUCTIVE for himself during his service year by securing a loan, did you really see anything bad in his idea? He even went ahead to reply you asking for ways he can 'MAKE GOOD USE OF HIS SERVICE YEAR' but you ignored him. Was that the right thing to do?

But when people come pointing at your mistake you immediately flare up and claim to be in your right.

You said someone on this thread POSTED WITHOUT THINKING, but my friend the only person who did such still has to be you. Read your first post well, I'm sure it's not what people want to see when they click on this thread. I went through your profile earlier to get a general view of what your character is like but from what I see you don't write like somebody who wishes his fellow human being well.

Yes this is a faceless forum, but these monikers have faces in reality. Don't you think you can meet the op somewhere someday and you two can help each other out? Learn how to be helpful with your words, they say the pen is mightier than the sword and it's a fact.

It is okay my oga, please there is no need to be rash towards him. I am sure he didn't mean whatever you think he did. Thanks for your concern.

Mrlekan07034617:
@Op I understand what u ar going through or might be going through, but believe me, you will surely get over it just stay focused and be prayerful!!!

One Love!!

Even if I was never focused before I am now. It's not the reason I opened this thread but thank you all the same.

One Love

You aint a failure until you've accepted failure, ur destiny doesn't rely on what the paper cert says of u... Keep moving and never give up

Oh thank you for your wonderful words. They mean a lot to me and millions in my shoes still struggling.

May God bless you
