This is your opinion and for the record PHP is not dead.
Most of the web services you come across online are running on PHP, even CMS (Content Management System) platforms, a good example of this is WordPress.

Even Slack, the popular collaboration tool was built on PHP.

@OP you can start with either of the two, if you decide to choose PHP, you can learn Laravel after learning PHP.
No Technology is dead or useless. Just learn one and be proficient at it, then you can learn others on the journey. All the best.

Even WP is no longer just PHP dependent. With Headless WP, you can extend functionalities with other languages.

Every dev should learn basic or intermediate PHP but NodeJs is better.

Highremedy:
PHP laravel ..... If u are good with that , I sure u don' t even need to be employed by anyone.
Just create any script and sell on codecayon and you will cashing out daily.

Yeah right! Unless those scripts are SAAS which do specific things and solve specific problems, you won't sell. Plus you need a team and marketing to push your script. What script do you want to build that hasn't been built already on CodeCanyon? CodeCanyon displays the engagement rate for each script. Haven't you seen some of just 20 purchases after 4 years? How's that profitable?

Instead you should have adviced him to seek paying gigs while he uses the money to build PHP applications which would fetch him money when sold continually. Even people are stuck on cetsin WP teams.

Hello, Oceanwp, Astra and Oxygen are the prefer. Go search out the number of developers and marketers pushing each or those themes daily.

I said Tinubu has made his campaign a Yoruba project and not that Yoruba's have made Tinubu's campaign their project.

More pointedly, Tinubu is the only one of the presidential candidates who has said on live TV that it's [ his tribe's] turn to be president and in Yorubaland, it's his turn. That's how the "Emi lokan" quip/slur began.
He has doubled-down on it every single time and that's why many Yoruba elites are asking who decided it's his turn even if there's a Yoruba slot.

Tinubu began his campaign right before the primaries on a tribal platform. Not even Kwanwaso who's seen as fanatically pro-North has said so.
Even Buhari didn't say it's the turn of the North in 2015.

Is Tinubu a tribalist? I don't think so; but it's devious to pretend he hasn't based his campaign on tribal sentiments.

Theflint1:
I
This thing Brymo is doing is how own version of Ola-Iya Igwe's naked prayer stunt. They're falling over themselves to show loyalty to the man's campaign, believing that since the man's campaign has been made a Yoruba project, they'd be first in line for whatever goodies come of it, given how much they sacrificed, and in Brymo's case him sacrificing his career.

On thing I have learnt about politics is, politicians after they win, never bring the most fanatical of their supporters into their fold.

Buhari shunned Ezekwesili, Omojuwa and Deji when he became president even though they were his most fanatical supporters on Twitter and Facebook, cursing everyone out and threatening violence.

Laolu, PYO's spokesperson, was calm in 2013 - 2015, and even today.
Garba Shehu didn't curse people and threaten them leading to 2015.
Adeshina didn't too.
PYO's photographer who's popular didn't get involved in the politicking during the primaries.

PYO's campaign manager, Richard Akinnola, (you can check him out on Facebook) didn't go the extreme for Osinbajo. Sanwo Olu was the special guest at his birthday months later.

In fact, none of the fanatical supporters of Buhari have really benefitted visibly from him. I can count names of people who got mega contracts from Buhari but never even publicly showed him support. Remember the man who trekked for him but wasn't even acknowledged?

Even Atiku's spokesperson, an Igbo man, hasn't gone overboard. He didn't do it even in the lead-up to 2019.

Brymo is wasting away whatever is left of his diminishing career; and worst even, wasting it away on a gamble which has been shown not to pay off well.

ShaqFu:
I don't hate Peter Obi. Truth is, I don't know him. So it's had for me to vote someone I don't know. Plain and simple.

But you knew General Buhari whose tenure ended in 1985 and became a social recluse afterwards only turning up after every election he lost to cry on live TV enough to campaign for and vote for him?

Contradictus strikes again!

ShaqFu:
so those are the only people who have governed Lagos, ma main man?

Dude, why do you hate Asiwaju so much?

I don't háte Tinubu.
I hâte the fact that a geriatric cognitively-impaired biologically-unfit man who's running with a vice tagged with terrorism links thinks it's his turn to govern 200 million Nigerians.

Why do you hate Obi so much, Shaqfu ?

ShaqFu:
the same way I don't believe you when you call Tinubu a thief when he has never ever been convicted. It's also the same way I know you're joking when you previously accuse him of not fixing a federal road.

Asiwaju's stats of being the best performing governor of his time is there for you to see, infact, a former governor gave him credence for being the best of his time, yet you refuse to believe it. Atleast no former governor of Lagos state, have ever come out to criticize Asiwaju publicly, can same be said for Obi

You expect same Lagos governors Tinubu handpicked to expose him?

What happened to Ambode who tried to be his own man? He got kicked out.

What happened to Fashola during the second term when Tinubu didn't want him even though he sextupled Tinubu's performance as Governor in just 4 years between 2007 and 2011? He had to get his people to suck on Tinubu to be ALLOWED to run for s second term.

Damn! You saw my plea not to take a swig of that liquor this morning late, didn't you? You obviously did before coming online. Tomorrow is another day to attempt being sober.

May Otem give you the grace to overcome being tipsy always.

ShaqFu:
funny how you ignored the post of me being sober. Your psychoanalysis won't work on me this time bro.

Why should I believe you are sober but you don't want to believe Obi did well even when statistics show Anambra topped in WAEC during his time, he left monies for his successor and he's reputed as one of the few governors with no EFCC case against him?

You want me to believe your claim of sobriety without evidence even though you guzzle alcohol faster than a suction pipe but refute evidential proof about Obi?

I hope by the time you read this you'd be sober, for a few minutes at least before doing your ablution with that liquor.

ShaqFu:
Personally. I don't care if a man if from Mars, as long as he has shown me he is capable and can provide me with an enabling environment for me to do business and live without looking over my shoulder.

Oh. Antecedence matters. And for Tinubu, it''s shrouded in secrecy.

izzou:
[color=royalblue]You are just here and there sir.

You have identified the problem we have as porous laws, and you are still asking how anybody can enforce it.

So, the people will wake up one morning and start paying electricity bills without tampering with the meters? This is laughable.

Remove the laws in UK and US, and they will bypass anything and cut corners.

I don't know if I am an idealist, but your solution can never work anywhere on earth. Maybe in another planet, though[/color]

Shaqfu is the classic Devil's Advocate. He enjoys going against a crowd even if his direction is heading off a cliff, and argues mostly for that sake - arguing.

It's not farfetched to posit he's lounging in a bar this minute with both his legs on a high table and beer bottles all over.

Ask him the same questions tomorrow and he'd shift grounds.

Joe, how many bottles are you on now? Be honest with me.

ShaqFu:
You know me well to know getting nosy is my stock in trade. I deal with specifics, first hand experience and the likes.

Yet you haven't been nosy enough to know anything about Tinubu's childhood but instead keep stealing teenage pictures of other people and passing it off as your candidate's.

Put your nosiness to good use, Shaqfu. Where exactly was Tinubu born? What primary and secondary schools did he attend? What are his siblings' names?

Do some good with your nosiness. Get these details and put them behind a paywalled site like Subtrack and you'd make money. Be determined.

ShaqFu:
Lmao. How will a determined president fix our porous laws?

Is the determined president responsible for making our porous laws? Once again, how will he fix it? By enforcing it? Once again, how will he enforce it when the agencies that are suppose to enforce the laws are corrupt to the brim.

In Nigeria, when laws are enforced, Nigerians groan and lament. They complain and attach religious and tribal sentiment to it.

So tell me, is it this police force, that is full of illiterates and halfwits, who expect to enforce laws?

Izz.ou, you and dis.stroy are idealists and idealists don't prosper in Nigeria.

I'm an optimistic realist, not an idealist.

There's a workable pragmatic approach to Nigeria's problems.

First we have corruption and income generation issues.

Oil is still our top 2 source of income. Only 17% of drilled oil is accounted for. A determined President would ensure NNPC functions and those lost oil loopholes are blocked.
That solves corruption and increased GDP.

Next is ensuring strong institutions. Why are politicians jailed for corruption released in months? Why do Yahoo boys get 6 months imprisonment but a hungry man who stole ogbono soup jailed for 3 years. Strong institutions.

A determined president would ensure a welcome policy like the Whistle Blower policy of GMB doesn't die. That's help cut corruption.

But we don't need a determined president according to you.

ShaqFu:
you still didn't say where you visited in Anambra bro. Don't deviate. State the obvious and forget about revealing too much. If you can post your picture to buttress a point, why can't you give specifics, eh?

I reiterate. Nigeria isn't China. A determined president who wants to fix this country will end up causing problems, especially with the way our constitution is.

I wonder when causing problems now translate to causing disaster. You obidient lot really like twisting people's words and giving your own interpretations.

Just because I post my pictures or I have my phone and WhatsApp number up, and my portfolio doesn't mean I want to share my itinerary.
Even on Facebook, I don't share my itinerary or people I hobnob with. I barely ever even post pictures with people or tag them if I ever do. Nor do I mention new adventures I am up to. And I never respond to personal or invasive questions even on the comments posted on my posts.

Focus on the topic which is the 2023 presidential election and the candidates running for office. That's the topic. Don't get too nosy.

19; 12 GMT

ShaqFu:
nope. You're the one saying this. Anyone who wants to fix Nigeria will first be determined to know how to tackle the problems

18: 02 GMT

ShaqFu:
I never said or claimed a determined president is a disaster. I said a determined president who wants to stop corruption and the abysmal turn the country is taking will cause more problems. There's a difference, a big difference.

16:38 GMT

ShaqFu:
I
A determine Nigerian president will only end up causing more problems than he can solve.

Same person, same day. All within 4 hours.

Here you have it, folks. If you must drink, please drink responsibly. And if you do, don't type.

ShaqFu:
I never said or claimed a determined president is a disaster. I said a determined president who wants to stop corruption and the abysmal turn the country is taking will cause more problems. There's a difference, a big difference.

In other words, if you want to lead Nigeria don't be determined to end or reduce corruption or fix the problems because you'd cause more problems?
Alright, Contradictus.

Give us date and time. Give us location, not just 'yes'.

I don't have to answer at the risk of giving away too much but in 2012 and 2013. It's the same reason I had to be in Trans-Amadi, Port Harcourt and Aba - I needed a mech engineering company for a custom design which formed a prototype. Most had closed down in Anambra and Aba so I settled for the one in Port Harcourt still manufacturing then. I got a referral to them from Anambra.

[b] Anambra went from 26 to number 1 under him in education. That's on paper. I don't live in Anambra, all I know for sure is, I've seen students in Anambra and damn!.

Just because you dislike Obi doesn't mean you should shit on the state totally. Anambra was leading in national and international competitions during Obi's time. Top in WAEC too. I guess that is also on paper.

if we compare based on corruption you will only throw allegations everywhere and allegations arent facts.

All what you've been saying about Asiwaju are allegations, not one fact, just allegations thrown by the people's opinions of social media. Period.

Genghis Khan murdering 40 million people is just an allegation too. I agree.

ShaqFu:
anybody can be intelligent, even a local dog can be intelligent. Once again, intelligence isn't synonymous to being a good leader.

Joe, don't drink and type. Leave the beer parlour, go home, get sober, and we'd discuss this part in the morning. Don't rinse your mouth with that liquor before coming online either.

they willing admitted to commiting those crimes so they are guilty. This is not the same with you calling Asiwaju thief continuously.

I agree even though nobody was fingered in particular for her murder.

didn't GEJ cause problems? Wasn't in GEJ tenure Boko Haram developed wings and started wrecking havoc on Nigerians?

My point exactly! A determined GCFR would have stopped BH in their tracks. But you claim a determined President is a disaster. So according to you, GEJ being determined to end the problem caused more problems? You've had enough shots for today. Tell the barman to stop serving you more drinks.

Tell me Kay, have you been to Anambra state before?

More pointedly when Obi was in office? Yes. And Anambra went from 26 in education to 1 under him.

And why are you always shying away from asking questions about financial misappropriation? Let's compare Tinubu and Obi on a thievery scale. Or let's compare Obi and any of his peers on that same scale.

Our problem is mainly corruption, right? Now let's compare the candidates based on corruption.

ShaqFu:
I
and how exactly did Obama fair with all his carriage and intelligence? Having carriage and being intelligent isn't synonymous with being a good leader.

The irony of downplaying intelligence (sound mind) and carriage as a requisite for leadership just to justify your support for a cognitively-impaired unhinged candidate like Tinubu.[/quote]

I still wonder why you call Asiwaju a thief when he hasn't been arrested, trialed or even convicted by a court of law.

True. I agree. Osama Bin Laden and Deborah's killers were never arrested or tried so aren't guilt of 9/11 and homicide respectively.

A determine Nigerian president will only end up causing more problems than he can solve.

Another irony because you're one of those who termed GEJ "Clueless" for not being determined enough to tackle issues head-on.

Oh the irony!
Joe, you need a new moniker - create one called "Contradictus". It's fitting and has a ring to it. Shaqfu doesn't fit your persona.

Enny2013:
Chai... U talk too much for a man. U dnt hv to b stressing dis. All these long sentences bcs of me? Dnt b too petty
Real men dnt talk much,bro. U suppose don pass dis level nau...Haba.
If u want to b regarded,dnt do much dragging wt women,esp on social media. It doesn't worth it. Have some dignity,bro.
I luv dark skinned guys!!!!! U ar d only one restless for my comment.

Halfwîtted skrep thinks she can define who a real man is. God forbid I am a real man. A "real man" to women is a simp who's tossed about and takes their excesses. A beta male. You're nothing more than. a play thing.

You claimed you are beautiful. I ask that you upload just one of your picture to justify your claim and I'd upload two of mine.

You're an ûgly low-level wénch nobody desires enough for keeps trying to feel good based off the supposed anonymity this forum offers.

And from the way you type even in 2023, one can already picture that you're a barely-literate dirty-looking girl.

ShaqFu:
my main man. This is not about ethics, morals or values or whatever, it is about interest, this is what politics is about.

Joe, you're confused. It's just bad I can't go vituperative on you because you're my guy.

This was your last comment.

ShaqFu:
Did you notice how not just the economy, but our values, ethics and morals always take a nose dive anytime a new president is sworn in?

---------

You said it yourself, you would have thrown your full weight behind Osinbajo, if he had emerge APC flag bearer because he is a strong advocate of the tech industry, now that reads so much like interest,

That Osinbajo is the best read of the lot, very intelligent, and thnks on the spot, improvising intelligently without prepared speeches, is enough reason to vote him in. He has no baggage too and the first VP/deputy in 12 years and more without an embezzlement allegation.

From a Nigerian perspective, Osinbajo would have been our closest answer to Obama in carriage and intelligence. A Pres. Osinbajo bantering on the world stage is one everyone of Nigerian root would have been proud of.

and you even said it that you support Peter Obi because amongst the candidates, he's most likely the one who will support the tech industry, so bro what's all this morals, values and what not?

No, it's because Obi isn't a thief and he's the best proven administrator of the top 3.

I have also pointed put that we lose a lot to wastage. Obi is that drain plug.

If Nigeria gets worse or 'badder' than this, it will not be because of who sits in Aso Rock,

China got better immediately they got a determined President. If your boss at work insists on punctuality and punishes absence from work, everyone would sit up.

Enny2013:
Y ar u pained? I am quite fair,but dnt just lyk fair guys. I HV neva bin once attracted to any. Can't I state my preference again?
I luv dark guys soooo much.

Yeah right! So says the charcoal-black girl who uses 1 million filter apps and studio pictures before uploading her DP on Facebook.

I double-dare you to upload just one picture of your face and I'd upload two of mine (be rest assured that there's Reverse Image Search to find out if you stole it).
Skreps feeling funky yet won't let us be every time we make a simple comment on blogs or groups, all begging for attention.

Enny2013:
I never liked fair guys for once.

Some of you say so publiclu and even say the same about thickly-bearded guys but the reality is women are always in our inboxes on social media or in person courting our attention and begging for intimacy.

You always initiate the conversations and beg when you are ignored. Every good-looking fair guy who's bearded would readily admit this.

Every single time of the day.

We'd keep banging you and tossing you aside to rant like Fancy or others.

ShaqFu:
The salvation of Nigeria rest on the hands of Nigerians. The same Nigerians who see it as their God given right to misbehave and disobey rules and regulations with reckless abandon.

Did you notice how not just the economy, but our values, ethics and morals always take a nose dive anytime a new president is sworn in?

Shaqfu, if you had ethics, values and morals, and you really want Nigeria to be better, you wouldn't want a sickly senile old public-treasury usurper like Tinubu to be president of 200 million people.

If Nigeria worsens or remains the same, it's because of devious people like you who think our collective destinies as a country is worth nothing more than an envisaged fleeting satisfaction of "I told you Obi wouldn't win".

it's the same way you trolled after Buhari won in 2015 against our pleas but by 2016, you were regretting; and 2017, you were cursing out at Buhari.
Did the fleeting satisfaction of having one over I or Trûckpûsher, your then politics section adversaries, save you from the hardship Buhari brought with him as his supporter?

You're doing it again!

ShaqFu:
yeah right. Yet he was fingered in the Pandora scandal. I heard that.

I'm not going to discuss trustworthiness and accountability with a Tinubu supporter, the biggest thief running in this election.

The same one whose biggest achievement according to you was patching potholes which turned out to be untrue or partly true as they went back to disrepair in a few weeks.

No way. Credible supporters please!

nihilistjnr:
There's literally no way that a Peter Obi presidency can live up the expectations some of his fans are heaping on his head.

I don't believe he will win, but I believe if he does, he would wish he hadn't, and Obidients will have to deal with the shock of reality.

As a politician, it is always better to be underrated than overrated. If you don't curb your enthusiasm and manage your expectations, you will be in for a rude awakening.

I take no pleasure in saying this.

But isn't Peter Obi already underrated?

His detractors have said:
-He has no structure.
- He's no godfather who has politicians knowtowing to him.
- An LP-less NASS would frustrate him.
-The old guard would frustrate him.
- Northerners would always make a Southern President's tenure hellish for him.

We already know what he'd be up against.

But we also know he's not a thief. And given the monies and resources stolen daily in this country, if we block the drainpipe, we'd have enough money to fix a number of things. Like settle ASUU and fund education properly to begin with.

First, we want to make sure a thief doesn't get to Aso Rock this time and the only person who does has no embezzling tag on him.

Amoto94:
"Mr ITK" yet know nothing at least Blueyraydick acknowledged that one of his own got a job from the ones that have been posted here before this is what matters not what you choose to interpret or insinuate.

Copied as received

You received Nada! Nothing!

Every time you goof and you're called out, you always think posting some gutter maintenance vacancy in Ijebu-Igbo or some random place you copied from remote crannies of the internet is a good comeback.

We know your modus operandi.

DissTroy:
Interesting too how every single time Amoto is beneath the search beam for his extremism, the hitherto active guy suddenly disappears for hours.
Then he'd return to paste some poultry farm job vacancy in Molete or Kafanchan he copied from God-knows-where.

Rinse and repeat.

iamoyindamola:
Never in your miserable life mention my daughter or my family
But if you want to go that route i swear with my life you will meet me there

Last warning!!!!

That was a subtle threat from Shekau-lite. You dissed him about making silly claims about Shettima being healthier that Tinubu, he quickly reminds you he knows of your family and daughter particularly out of the blues.

BlueRayDick:
In ur opinion , where do u think the money to do all of these will be sourced ? Because the only thing that don’t require money in the above is cutting government spending ( and even cutting govt spendings May not be something he has full control over. He can only speak for the executive arm of the government and can’t do much as far as legislature and judiciary arms spendings are concerned )

Same place Qatar and Saudi Arabia are currently sourcing the bulk of their income from - oil.

You might not be aware but 83% of oil drilled in Nigeria is unaccounted for. NNPC and the poorly-regulated sector are culpable.

If we could account for even 80% of our oil, our GDP would triple (and quadruple when you add our all-time high from ICT, and the one from trade).
---
Even states lose a whole bulk of money unaccounted for through poor taxation systems and deliberate leaks. No state in Nigeria currently has a central taxation system which is somewhat effective. None.

Something like what New York has would greatly increase state revenues. From state taxation systems of different countries I have been studying, that is.
----
We currently even have enough resources to fund our national ventures.

OasisX:
I agree with the bolded and it's one of the reasons this thread is created. Obidients turn this thread to what it is today.

They are never ready to engage in any sensible discourse rather they prefer bullying and cussing hell out of everyone not supporting their candidate.

They're the reason I am actively involved this year, because they need to be checked, put back in their holes once in a while.

No one has monopoly of bullying, trolling and cussing!

Dude, you are reputed for skipping any sociopolitical discourse where you can't reply with a copy-and-paste post.

Once it gets right down to intellectually dissecting sociopolitical issues, you flee; unless there's been a response by somebody to it on Facebook and Twitter you can go copy then paste here. Then add mundane phrases like "El Ol El. Mi oni so nkankan" .

Since this thread began 7 months ago, I double-dare you to quote even 5 instances of lengthy intelligent discussions you've had about the elections or any other sociopolitical trend. Just 5. Screw it! Just 3! 3, OasisX!

You are the last person in this section who should grandstand about intelligent debating . The very last.

ShaqFu:
The road you mentioned, that is from Gate way hotel to Meiran is federal road, that is Lagos Abeokuta Express Way.

LOL. Yeah. Tinubu had a clash with Obasanjo and claimed he was in charge of that road. He did nada on it.

Now Tinubu is directly responsible for tarring Bale Animashaun Road. That road is at Alakuko and lead directly to Agbado Crossing. He also tarred the road at Kola which also connect Bale Animashaun Road.

Shame on you. You mentioned mini-roads/ streets. And these roads were no-go areas.

Alagbado is where DAAR Communications (AIT and RayPower) is located. That road was a death trap. Raymond Dokpesi who's from your state and Chairman of DAAR tarred that road. Yet it was still awful.
Alagbado and Alakuko had some of the worst roads in the whole South West.

Tito Da Fire was the main OAP on Raypower and a distant relative so I visited that road many times. And that's where the AIT Easter Fiesta held so we got to go.
Come on! What shameless lie is this?

Also, he filled all the potholes at Karimu Laka street at Egbeda. He also did the same at Ogunlana street and Akonwonjo road.

The achievement of the Father of Lagos who built the city from scratch is filling potholes? Akonwojo was the headquarters of bad roads under Tinubu so much so if you lived there, people were less likely to visit you.

Now these are roads I know he did because it was right under my eye. It was something I witnessed.
Next?

What in Otem's name is this? You just insulted Tinubu? Filling potholes which didn't last a month? You ignored Maryland, Ajah and others.

You just proved Tinubu failed and was bang subpar. Thanks for proving my point. I knew you'd somehow have my back.
