a good one

Gracias,Kindly test it and tell me what you think

Before I decided to became a freelancer,I have worked for some companies ,one of them in particular made me very upset(payment issue-45k unpaid till today for my sweat).
I have also been scammed helping a friend get a job.
There was no platform for me to warn people who would fall into the trap of these scammers.
Yes Nairaland is there ,but I needed something dedicated ,that is user friendly and intuitive.
I searched and couldn't find ,so i created mine .Not just to serve Nigeria alone , but the whole world !.
I present to you JobPoller

What Does The App Do ?
It helps you rate your experience with any job,employer or prospective employer

Is It Free ?
The app is free and would always be free to use .If there would be any charge in the future ,it would be for something like sms alert as the app expands,or a tiny little subscription as low as #50-#100 per month,to bear the cost of running and maintaining the app .I promise it won't exceed that.

How Can The App Benefit You Or Anyone ?
You can search for a company before applying or submitting an application, or before going for an interview.

You can search using the company or employer name ,email,phone number and address .

You can check the rating people have given this particular company,so you know whether or not the company is worth your time .It also gives you an inkling of what to expect if you end up working with that company or employer.

By adding your rating of all the companies you have worked with, you would be helping anyone who wants to work where you have worked decide whether or not the company or employer would be good for them.

What's In It For You ?
Well,this app was built from ground up by an individual,so there isn't much I can give.

But isn't it wonderful knowing you would be helping other people decide whether a job is good for them or not and also avoid job scams ?

Look at the bright side ,you would also be receiving that favor in return !

I have a reward system in the app that rewards you and whoever you invite with points(5 points).The top 5 people every month would get prizes.

To refer someone they have to register with your username as their referrer.

What's In It For The Maker Of The App
Honestly nothing much,even though I have invested a reasonable amount of money and time to put this together all alone.

But I do derive joy ,knowing that I am making a reasonable contribution to everyone and job scams would be reduced to the minimum ,since I have been a victim once,I know how much it hurts.

I also have non-intrusive ads in the app to make a little change to help bear cost of maintaining the app.

I also accept donations from anyone who has found the app useful and loves the app, I guarantee that you would love it.


Here is a summary of the features of the app :
You can rate an already existing company in the database
You can search for companies ,with phone number ,address,email.
You can add a company and rate it instantly if its not in the database
You can change your rating of any company anytime
You can also check the top 100 scam jobs to avoid ,according to peoples ratings.


I have included some screen shots ,but kindly download and use the app to get the whole experience.



Side Notes :
I also designed the logo myself too-infact everything ,no be small work to build everything from scratch.It might look basic ,but there is a story behind it .
Looking at it closely its a suitcase ,if you look deeper you would see a smiling face,if you turn the logo/suitcase upside down , you would see a frowning or sad face.This is significant to the core aim of the app,reducing job scams and making people apply for jobs that would make them happy or at least satisfied.

You can download the app here :


It would be on Google store soon.
And hopefully by next year I would build the IOS app too.

You can follow and help share across social media
Facebook,twitter and instagram all @JobPoller

Most importantly ,I really need your feedback on how to make it better.

MODIFIED :It now on the playstore ! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jobpoller.android

All these amateurs abusing android programming everywhere. You just turned Nairaland's website into a useless android file and you called that an Android app? Where is the source code, the MainActivity.java, the xml files? Go and learn real programming and be creative, please.

You don't need to be dis harsh oga
Take it easy
There is a way to pass your message in a better way

Hey guys, I am just new to this forum..

I am Computer Science student and I am very passionate about it, I am little confused about which language I should learn for game development..

I want to know, please help and give me suggestions, try to cover all those which are essentially needed for game development..
Thanks...

Just about any programming language nowadays can be used to make games
Even the last born HTML5 is used in building many ground breaking games .
I advice you should understand the fundamentals of programming first .
Understand some graphics (either 2d or 3d or both)
Then choose a game engine ,there are tons of them
Unity is cross platform and its also cool
You can try Godot engine , its also cross platform and very very small and open source too (just 20mb !!!!!)

When Jesus comes we all know where and who judgment would start with !!!
Big five alive !!!!! se wetin hapen !!!!
If everyone can start walking ,acting and treating one another like Christ did,the world will be a better place.
Being a christain, whether pastor or member ,means being Christ-like ,so many people have forgotten this.
May God help us.

Hi,
I need a front end developer to work with, on a new project.

Required skills:
* HTML
* CSS
* JS

Send me email or drop your contact details, will get to connect with ya!

info at donald . com . ng
My number is in my signature.
Or you could drop your number and i would give u a call.

menwongo:
Thank you bro.
To me python is even easier than java script, according to your example.
But is java script related to java program. As in in learning either java script or python which of them will aid me in learning java program.
Thank you sir

Javascript is not related to Java
You can learn in the order I gave you Javascript -> Python -> Java
There is nothing hard about programming is just learning the core fundamentals of programming,thinking and brainstorming and understanding the syntax(or lay man english- pattern) of the particular programming language

menwongo:
Am just a newbie, I want to learn java programming or python. Infact a good mobile programming language.
Thank you bro

Since you are a newbie ,I would advice you start with Html and Javascript first
REASONS:
-Javascript(not to be mistaken with Java) is easy to learn and it would help you easily pick up the core fundamentals of programming
-Since its easier to learn , it would make you feel good about yourself and encouraged not to give up
-Javascript is also Object Oriented(a topic for another day)

Then gradually move over to Python after creating several programs and your are fairly comfortable with Javascript
You would notice how easy it is coding in Python ,since you already understand the core fundamentals of programming learnt in Javascript (The syntax is also similar -but not the same)

Then you can now move to Java

Its not advisable to start learning programming with Java ,most of the time it frustrates newbies and make them give up easily ,because of its relatively complex syntax and learning curve .

Look at this examples if you want to print ordinary "Hello World "on your screen

Javascript:

alert('hello world');

Python:
print 'hello world '

Java:

public class HelloWorld {

   public static void main(String []args) {
      System.out.println("Hello World"; 
   }
}

The difference is clear,two are like you are speaking english , the other is like an alien language

menwongo:
Computer with 4 gb ram and 500,hdd is it good for python programming?
Or should I go for core i2

It should do just fine ,but it also depends on what kind of application you are try to develop.
But it should do fine

ogaprime:
So sorry sir. Believe me i haven't forgotten about you sir...

Just replied your mail

walemoney007:
Mr man sit down there and keep typing trash,am telling you majority of what Yoruba's want,you are there arguing about me not knowing who my local government chairman is,it seems you are sick sef,I worked for APC here in the last general election, and the person that one in ikorodu north is an uncle of mine.
A lot of Yoruba's don't give a dam about Nigeria or any other tribe,when the time comes,you shall be shocked sha
They there they type trash

Nice to know you are well connected.I wish you well

Feeding all the hungry kids in Nigeria and putting them in school

Lloydfolarin:
Rubbish coming from a fool.

I hate Igbos. Deal with it.

They must leave when the time comes...

It's a matter of time.

They have beaten more than they can chew

With Igbos, peace becomes a mirage

In your bleeped up Edo state, allow Igbos to rule your kingdom, it's your freaking business.

To us, they are nothing but bunch of immigrants with valued visas for now.

At the right time, we shall send them back to their erosion ravaged region either through war or peace

Call me names, it's your business.

We have got nothing in common and nothing we ll have in common.

People like FFK ll be taken off by Yorubas when the time comes(That means his child with Igbo girl ll be kept at distance in terms of Yorubas politics and everything that concerns Yorubas)

However, people like FFK half Igbo son could be allowed to aspire to become anything in Yoruba Nation after our separation from those ugly apes.

People

When i wrote what i did I was ready to be called names.It takes nothing out of me .
Why do you hate Igbos ?

gbosaa:
Let's forget Kanu for now and focus on what the government is doing to answer those questions raised.

I have a friend who work at a container port in Felixstowe, UK. They call it the port of Great Britain. There are various sea ports apart from that in the uk. UK has a population of under 70 million people. Nigeria is chasing 200 million. Lagos is the only functional and main sea port serving the whole country !

How many international airports? Two main: Abuja and Lagos!!. Before you shout PH and Enugu etc, it will take approx 6hrs or 6hrs 30 mins to arrive Abuja or Lagos via BA or Virgin airlines from Heathrow or Gatwick, UK. Ethiopia airline will take you to Enugu but be prepared to spend up to 24 hours making the trip.

I want to shout zoo and rant like Kanu but I don't want to wake people.

Atrocities police and army commit in places like Onitsha, Aba, Owerri and Umuahia, they wouldn't try anywhere in the north.

Nigeria is sick. Very very sick.

Nigeria is indeed sick,and its because we let it get to this point .
Concerning the army and police , their own is on another level,and when such atrocities are committed ,who sends them ?-The same government and god fathers

Who are these people in the army and police ? ,are they not Nigerians too,once you slip something into their pockets they care less about anyone(This is where ,the issue of peoples mindset comes in again,humans first before any other thing)

We handed over too much power to these people who got power drunk.
We focused less on resources that really matter and paid too much attention to oil(not that it doesnt matter).
Nigeria freaking has almost all resources(natural and manpower) to build a freaking electric car from ground up !
Right now the quickest way to solve the problem of Nigeria is :

Using the ONLY tool that can have maximum effect over a short period of time -The internet-to torment their lives and families.
Force them to cut down their Goliath salaries by 80% (what one persons receives every month can feed an average family for years).
Make them focus on these areas,Roads,Electricity,Cheaper Telecom services(call and data),New ports (as you said),Health,Agriculture and Education.
I am a programmer and a startup founder(in progress) ,I am constantly crippled by lack of electricity,Imagine spending almost 40 k on fuel every month,and it has also chopped funds that should go into the start up that would solve a major problem in Nigeria,how do they expect the economy to work,when so many bright minds and ideas are buried everyday ! ?

If all these are done , watch Nigeria take care of itself,watch it sprout in less than 10 years.
We have all we need ,greed got us here.

gbosaa:
I believe the original post was being sarcastic. He wanted to draw your attention to the plight of some people. He wanted to make you see things from the eyes of those being hurt.

Maybe you would've understood his post better if he had rephrased it. He didn't meant for those things to be closed down and restarted in the South East. He wanted to make see things from the eyes of those shouting secession. Until you are forced to wear their shoes and feel the pinch exactly where and how they feel it, you'll continue to treat this issue with a biased mind.

Not every Igbo man supports the way the method being used by Kanu but I can assure you that he wins converts everyday.

Someone raised the issue of perennial religious riots and killings in the North...the answer you gave and responses which we see here most times are: Are Igbos the only ethnic group being killed?? !!.

Fulani herdsmen is trending everyday. Has it being tackled?? No. Instead you hear of more stories of their impunity everywhere from infesting and littering the highways of Abuja with cow dungs, messing up green areas, dangerous effects on road traffuc, schools and classroom invasion subjecting students to dangers. I don't want to bring in the effects on farmlands and the violence that follows.

A responsible government and sane country would've dealt with these ages ago. Of course I'm sure that if Igbos complain, patriotic Nigerians like you would ask: @Are Igbos the only ethnic group whose farmlands are being destroyed, whose women are raped and whom have been ambushed by violent herdsmen.

Lets imagine another group of people/ethnic group invading farmlands in the north with the accompanying violence.

I don't support the method but I think that 'enough is enough'.

I totally agree that enough is enough .
But don't you think Kanu is making the same mistakes the founding fathers of Nigeria made ?
He is creating the wrong foundation,he is building on hatred,its going to be Nigeria 2.0 .

gbosaa:
The supposed abuse was just in the last two lines. You focussed on the negative and ignored all the points raised above.

Answer the question.

Donald3d:
Don't you think he sounds like a terrorist ? "Close down Lagos ports and open up PH, Calabar,
Onitsha and Warri ports"
He is asking for certain things to be withdrawn or halted in some states and started in others .
Can't you have development in more than one place ,it doesn't make sense .
He is trying to do unto others , what he is complaining is being done to him.
Its like saying saying you should stop giving one of your children money,and giving his sibling ,just because the first started receiving first.Knowing fully well you can afford to give both.
Wow !

Thats your answer

DerideGull:
These are the reasons the deceitful stiffs go into tailspin the moment they hear anything Biafra. Even if in my death, I shall fight for Biafra.

walemoney007:
we Yoruba's already have everything plan out,be worried about your Edo state guy.
Yoruba's don't need the north,south south or south east

Really,Ok
When you say "we",I am wondering who the "we" are .
You all(across all tribes),sit back while a few people inspired by greed, nonchalance decide your future.
I can bet you probably don't even know who the local government chairman ,of your village LGA is,yet you feel all is well and the so called people clamoring for Oduduwa have it all figured out.
Hmm !

nawtyme:
Of course you are right about the pig issue. I am not a 100 percent fan of his methods. But one thing is sure, we can't move forward as a united nation. Based on what you wrote up there, my question remains. What do you want us as Igbos to try?
The president came out openly to grade us as 5 percent that should not expect what the 97 percent should get and went about to implement it. What would you have us do?
Travel out of Nigeria if you have not and see how backward we are as a nation.
Is it not better we develop at our own pace?
No one wants war. Take it or leave it, in war all sides will suffer casualties. But you cannot hold me down because you don't want to grow when I want to grow.

My oga , this is my point exactly
Anyone is free to fight for freedom,because everyone deserves it.
Mandela did and they are happy now .
His intentions were genuine , his approach was systematic,well planned and he had a destination ,a goal !
He built on a good foundation.
Nnamdi is the opposite ,he has good intentions ,but his approach,reasons,countenance is all wrong,he is working semi-haphazardly .
He is building on hatred.
And this foundation can't stand .

Its not about what the Igbos can do or try ,its what we should all do and try .
It starts from little efforts,right from the home and the most basic and functional units of the society(family).
Then we build our way up.
I would say again , we are underestimating the power of the internet

Regarding what the President said,
All those politicians are all the same , the ones from the North,SS,SE,E,W etc.They are all the same !.
They are after their own pockets .

Another thing is this "my brother" issue .
Personally now , would you employ an Igbo man into your organisation who is about average ,or would you rather employ someone from somewhere else eg(North) who is more than qualified and has good track record.
"My brother","Our brother " is what got us here .

Etogist:
There is nothing to discuss here. Each time I wake up and realise I'm still in Nigeria, I become very upset. And here you're writing glib about Biafra and you expect me to calm my nerves. You better stop waisting your time because Biafra is a done deal.

Ok indulge me
Who would rule you ?.
Is it the same igbo people rulling Nigeria .
Would their ideologies and greed just suddenly change because its a new country ?
What about you,what are you willing to positively contribute to the new Biafra
What mistakes did Nigeria make , and what steps is Biafra taking to make sure they don't make such mistakes.

walemoney007:
A lot of Nigerians from the north and south are tired of this useless hell hole,as for me am tired of living with ebos and you guys from the south south,we need a total dissolution of Nigeria

Do you have a plan ?
What is your plan when dissolution occurs ,if you are the leader of your section ?
We are jumping before thinking ,anyone is free to have what they want.
The question is what happens after,that is one question most "e-warriors" are not asking themselves.

nawtyme:
Dear OP,
How do we tackle these challenges that you mentioned above that has not been tried?
We have tried constitutional reforms, it failed.
We have tried constitutional ammendment, it was not properly done.
We have tried sovereign national conference, where is the report?
Where is Steve's report?
What was the outcome of the Oputa panel?
What was the outcome of the votes on restructuring?
Why don't we try a different approach of balkanizing the country so each can develop at their own pace?

This is the only brilliant question,by anyone so far
All this questions has already being answered in my post,but I would repeat :
We need to REALLY stand up to this people,and use the most powerful tool right now at our disposal (the internet).
Look at the way Saraki started fidgeting recently due to social media pressure.
By the way hope you know ,if Biafra gets their country you would be ruled by Igbo leaders that are currently leading Nigeria in various positions ,so what makes it different.Pouring old wine in a new wine container would only contaminate it.
I hope you get my point.

Etogist:
So, Op what exactly do you want biafrans to do?
With your detribalized mind and "turned neutral part of the brain" you really want us to be living like slaves forever in the name of one Nigeria, abi?
OK, accepted but on the conditions below. Let federal government do the following:

1. Close down Lagos ports and open up PH, Calabar,
Onitsha and Warri ports.

2. Cancel all direct and major connecting flights to
Lagos and Abuja airports only local connecting flights
will be allowed. While this is being done, open up
Enugu, Calabar, Owerri, Asaba, Uyo and PH to international flights direct and major connecting flights.

3. Ask all international and diplomatic missions to
move their embassies and consulates from Lagos,
Kano and Abuja to Enugu, PH and Calabar.

4. All federal governments’ agencies in Lagos and
Abujashall be relocated to Enugu, PH and Calabar.
CBN, NNPC, e.t.c shall and must relocate to PH, Calabar
and Enugu.

5. All multinational companies in Lagos and Abuja,
shall and must relocate their offices to PH, Calabar
and Enugu.

6.All oil companies must relocate their head offices to
PH, as the oil capital of Nigeria.

7. Let the northern children gain admission into
federal schools with 300 score points while the South Eastern Children should gain admission with only 20 score points .

8. Let all federal road projects in the North/SW should
be handled by one local companies and the one in the
SE/SS should be handled by Julius Berger and foreign
construction companies.

If these conditions can be fulfilled and implemented for
50years , we can try one Nigeria with a promise of changed mind set and let see if you the North and SW will like it for a month. Meaning that Yorubas and Hausas needing to get international visas
shall travel to PH, Calabar or Enugu to do that. Same
with flying or connecting flights, same with shipping
and importing their goods, etc etc.
Otherwise Op, you should shut your fucking mount and stop writing trash about Biafra.

You can have a good conversation without being abusive oga.Calm your nerves

Ngozi123:
Why are Bini people aka non-Igbos trying to speak up for Igbo people? No one cares that you have an Igbo girlfriend; she can visit you in Nigeria when we get our independence or even stay with you there.

Its sad you chose to focus on this and not the real message I am passing across.This is the hate I am talking about , we are focusing too much on where people are from and not their intentions or who they really are.
Besides:I am trying to speak for humanity in Nigeria,its not restricted to Igbos or Yorubas,because if e hapen now,the man championing this struggle would go and hide in a bunker or fly abroad,while his kinsmen die in the war front.
My aim is to avert mishaps.

nawtyme:
So what should we do? Like he mentioned, the killing started from 1945 till date as we are expecting a fresh one on the 1st of October. You hate us we are thieves, we are dishonest, we have baby factories, we are armed robbers. Now we don't to soil the reputation of your country anymore. We want to soil our own country and you are asking us to reason with people who don't want to be reasoned with?

As I said ,I don't oppose Biafra ,neither do i support it .
But I believe SOME of their requests are indeed genuine
I am bothered about the common man regardless of tribe or region.
If you read my post well you would have noticed this.
My point is that the whole thing is rooted on hate and is not organised.
Imagine calling his own kinsmen who are not in support of his ideas pigs .
Do you think such person would be a true democratic leader ,he is already exhibiting some signs of tyranny.
You don't just decide to hate someone because they don't believe in what you believe in.

fehicu hmm ,I like that Thanks
