truthCoder2:
Implement a firebase admin-sdk that creates a user on firebase then on success, creates same user on your database. Update your user data with the uid returned from firebase before final transaction commit. When you want to send a message, you fetch uid from your message and pass props to the relevant firebase function.

You still have the chance to handle your authentication or allow firebase handle same from the frontend

Thank you bro...

Even on Nairaland here, analysis I ran on threads that make it to front pages shows that Tinubu is the most common keyword on NL in the last 7 days

Una get problem sha, I swear. The OP was talking about his experience and observations and you had to bring your nonsense Igbo victim mentality into the thread. At what point did the OP make reference to the Igbo tribe? If your governors aren't doing well, why don't you call them to order rather than hating on the one appreciating the efforts of his.
If I get you clearly, anyone who dare appreciate the good deeds his/her state is hating on the Igbos abi, you nor get sense, I swear. FYI, with the way you all carry out your campaigns for Obi, you all do more arm than good to his impossible aspirations. The more you all role out your biles and venom, the more people see why you can't be trusted with power, make una continue.

The thing is, Igbos have no respect for elders, this translate to what is happening in the region now. No politicians, no leaders can reason with them and make them see where they are getting things wrong. They prefer listening to some diaspora idiots who only want violence in the region while they, with their families, are far away somewhere safer.

Average Igbo doesn't reason with his mental faculty, he prefers somebody else to reason for him.

Really working. They are even the ones that patrol my estate here in Ibadan the most. You'd barely see the police. Still find it hard to believe that some bastards were against Amotekuns creation back then.

One hausa politician said Yorubas are primitive back then...I could not help but laughed in Kiswahili

Kapeter:
I shuttle between Ibadan, Abeokuta and Lagos often. I'm mostly on that expressway but for a while now I've been stuck in Ibadan cuz of the numerous evil news about the Fulani herdsman menace on that highway.

Just before this December I read on the news some AIG visited this very same highway and together with Seyi Makinde the governor of Oyo state, I remember they promised that the road will become safer and there should be no panicking or fear and that people should go about their journey as it would become just as before where everyone can travel safely using the expressway.

Hehe. Yesterday was my favourite cousin introduction at Abeokuta and I had no choice than to be there.

I took a public bus (not that I have a car though but I can always get one when the need arise) off to Abeokuta and on my way what I saw makes me wanna go to every SW government house and say a very big thank you to all our governors.

There are bunch of Amotekun stations, Police, Army. Almost at every where till the end of Oyo state axis and then when you get to the Ogun state axis, you will see the OP Mesa patrolling the whole expressway.

The Ibadan axis has actually been the hotspot for the criminals actually but almost everywhere on the road you will see Amotekuns station even 12 am I was still on the road yesterday travelling safely with peace of mind seeing the huge security on that expressway.

This is Akeredolus biggest achievement so far in governance as the chairman of the SWGF. I couldn't help but be once again glad and proud to be South Westerner yesterday when I saw Amotekuns stations all over the place.

What I found amazing the most yesterday was if your car/vehicle get broken, you'd be surprised at the speed the OP Mesas and Amotekuns would get to you to stay with you while you fix it. Damn. They will stay right there with you protecting you untill your car can move again. Na. This is all that I ever pray for.

I'm so proud of SW governors for Amotekun. God bless them so much. Tonim God bless you and yours too. Thanks for all the love you have for Yorubaland.

Yorubaland will sure take its place God willing.

Confirmed! I have once made a thread about this as well, Lagos-Ibadan highway is much safer now. I constantly commute between the two cities and I can categorically confirm your claim here...

I don't believe these posts, maybe the government troll farms just fabricated it to scare Nigerian teachers from leaving.

Get visa and go there and see how they do things since you want to be a doubting Thomas.

GREATIGBOMAN:
Why not discuss the cost with your client?

Since it's not a personal project financing something like this shouldn't be your problem.

You should tell the client the cost of getting a good sms API

if they can't handle the cost then they use the email alternative.


If you use a cheap service you may end up losing this client when the project goes live and the setback from your cheap sms api solution starts surfacing

The thing is, the app is a laundry management system whereby customers that leave their garments unclaimed for a certain period will be sent messages reminding them of their unclaimed orders and many other instances where messages need to be sent. Email service wouldn't suffice in this case and cost of per sms shouldn't be much, if not, any client will insist I look for a cheaper one.

Twilio's $0.15/sms for Nigeria client is equivalent to around N100/sms with $1/N750 exchange rate, this is a huge some to present to any client to start with.

Sentence these animals to life Imprisonment.. Biko.

Sentencing to life imprisonment? If law permits it, I am of the opinion that they should be executed immediately without further delay.

QuoteJustOnce:
if you can find a way to integrate firebase (and like using firebase and don't mind getting locked to firebase) into your app, then you can use

spark plan:
$0/verification up to 10k times a month.

pay as you go:
a) standalone sms auth at $0.06/verification
b) complete identity package at $0/verification until you hit 50k active users/month

both options being cheaper than twilio and aws

Okay thanks.

GREATIGBOMAN:
Is there no Nigerian version?

There are, but as someone has mentioned earlier, they are far from being reliable

QuoteJustOnce:
Hi there, to be quite frank, SMS is the last resort to communicating with your customers (unless you've got big money) cos it's freaking expensive when you want reliability. Fun fact, even with big money, you still have to approach the key players for discounted pricing else your big money turns to small money soon.
Major names i've worked with are Twilio and AWS Pinpoint for their insane reliability; but once again expensive not because they are expensive (no pun intended) but because of our weak currency. There are many others like the homegrown "smartsmssolutions" but not quite reliable in my opinion.

Oh...thanks for the input

GREATIGBOMAN:
Why not use email instead as a replacement for the sms thingy since you're looking for a way to cut costs? >

I have that in place already. My choice of SMS option is because of the type app I am building...my client will prefer Verification Codes being sent to mobile numbers instead of emails.

GREATIGBOMAN:
Twilio

That's SendGrid I guess, their service charge is around $0.1 per SMS for Nigeria...

QuoteJustOnce:
Good catch i like how you think outside the box, but PHP damn!. Well using Nextjs as a case study, uhmm, it doesn't work the way php works. In summary, as you may already know, it allows you write api functions and then bundles them outside your frontend app. So it's more like you still doing dedicated fe + api except that it abstracts the api side for you and also allows you to manage both inside one codebase. And yes, you can still consume the api endpoints later in the future because it does provide endpoints like your regular nodejs and you can do your regular GET, POST, PATCH etc. Heck you can even rate-limit or secure with an API key should you choose to sell the api on a per-user or per-bandwidth basis. You options are unlimited. The most important takeaway being you can manage all these codes in one place (good for future/legacy development) and then you don't have to worry too much about servers and the hassles that come with it e.g. security and best practices. Astro is very nice especially with their architecture called "Islands". you should definitely look into it. It removes a lot of bottlenecks that would occasionally spring up using traditional react or even Nextjs.

Steps ahead of you? I'm flattered but not really. Just that i've worked with too many teams and seen too many use-cases where "unanticipated" issues often neglected would then pop up and throw a wrench. I use prontonmail as my handle.

Good morning, do you please have any cheap SMS API service you can recommended. The ones I am seeing are quite expensive. Thanks in advance.

Atiku should step down immediately because PDP is a party of thieves

SouthSouth1914:
You bailed on the company when they need you most. Offcourse you betrayed them, if you were a good staff, you’d have told them about your prospects before hand and allow the company to prepare for your movement.

Everything you said earlier about you coming to work early were sheer show off. When it was time for you to japa, you did without looking back. But if it were the company to have laid you off, you’d come to Nairaland to read the books of lamentations about how you have been faithfully going to work early and stuffs.

You don't know the background story shey? I said when when it was time to move on, I did without looking back. So you think it was ever in my plan to work for someone for 8 months and leave just like that especially when you have no other job. The best you can do now is not to judge because you never know what happened.

Studies has revealed that people that are always late have higher intelligent quotient.
In order words late commers are smart people.

People will always back stupidity with evidences. I worked for a company for 8 months, at just the second month of my resumption, I was handed the office's key. This happened because I was always the the first employee to get to work, I always get to work between 6.30 and 7.00pm, sometimes later, most of the time earlier.

This helped me in many ways. I gained respect of almost all my co-employees. It quickened my integration into the company's system as I would have enough time to study all the tools we were using in the company. The quickest employee to come after me alwaays come after like 1 hour I have arrived. I was loved by my boss, it got to a point when he would call me everyday around 6.30/7.00am asking if I was around, 90% of the time I will give him a yes answer.

Throughout my 8 months of working there, I only came late 3 times (coming after 8.00am resumption time), it rained two times and the other time was due to a traffic miscalculation from my end. Out of those 3 times, it was only once any employee has actually come before I arrive, meaning, it was just once any employee gets to office before me.

I was in no race with anyone but myself, I learnt so much from the company within a very short period courtesy of my coming to work early. When I felt it was time to move on, I did without looking back, though a few employees including my boss thought I betrayed the company, I felt sorry for that though.

PS: if you need to quote me, you can't judge based on half-cooked account I gave here. Peace.
