Most Government offices still working with paper and files. They don't even know they need you.

Hello bro, I would try to help u as best as i can so let's take it one at a time.
Who's is a dba? Someone who you can liken to the architect of a data storage / retrieval system and who uses tools withing the system to further administer(write db scripts,backup strategy, recovery, failover, etc)
Does Nigeria need DBAs ? Obviously, yes! But we don't have the system in place. Quick example is the case of data redundancy here and there, NCC,NIMC,INEC, NPC all this guys collect same / similar data but don't keep it in sameplace (data warehouse) they all keep it in most cases on a system not even designated as a db server, no specialized recovery or data usage plan. (Believe me I have seen this) so often times, the data just sits locally as it is not even queried except for simple occasional lookups as presented by the app developer. This area is deep to discuss here but my point is, the developer is smart enough to plan a db to simply allow storage of data his application requires and does not require special db needs whilst his app yet does what the nigerian client wants. Moreso because the nigerian system does not have that scanerio for d dba yet.
The Nigerian Dba? He hardly even administer the db, I have seen instance where coy's that use 'large' data hav the 'real' dba guy in yankee send db scripts to the 9ja guy to run, or even administers it remotely, most cases the dbservers in 9ja are just replication/caching servers, transaction are hardly run against it. My point? Even the big guys that use data do not leave it to the 9ja dba to adminsiter.
Don't want to give more negtives so here are some advice: 1. Its notenough to b a dba in 9ja, add more to it 2. This days everyone is shifting to NoSQL, shift ur learning too, IoT / IoE *internet of* will make you /us all to do so 3. Get certified and make sure u av both the technical knw how 4. Network, join groups, 5. download large volume data to play with 6. Don't focus on a dba job alone, get any other 7. If u realy want to babysit / manage data for real, look for a junior dba positionin a large org (multinational) and just play around without alltering their data (that's even if u have permission)
Later bro, best wishes |

ok am back, first of all, this one that angers me "she cant wait 4 years more to get married" , must she marry before or at 30 ? my bro, i think you have you life ahead of you, i also admire your entrepreneurial spirit. i am guessing she just said that out of fear of loosing you since you mentioned going back to school.
You mentioned she isn't lazy + she is a faithful woman which is a scarce quality in many, talk with her...but be straight as to when you think marriage would be feasibly,don't paint it else bro it will come back to bite u, leave love, if its in 5yrs u think, tell her so, if she wants to stay, tell her she needs to work with you to achieving it and please discuss more future iish, if she doesn't want to stay, Let her GO!, pls make money, make more money, you will be surprised there are many options to chose from when you are ready. trust me, you will find! |
Family › Re: Family Mathematics by DonTim1: 6:44pm On Nov 22, 2015 |
Simonwal: Equations! - This is the best I have read in a LONG time
Equation 1
Human = eat + sleep + work + enjoy Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore: Human = Donkey + Work + enjoy
Therefore: Human-enjoy = Donkey + Work
In other words, A Human that doesn't know how to enjoy = Donkey that works.
++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ ++ ++ Equation 2
Man = eat + sleep + earn money Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore: Man = Donkey + earn money
Therefore: Man-earn money = Donkey
In other words Man who doesn't earn money = Donkey
++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ + Equation 3
Woman= eat + sleep + spend Donkey = eat + sleep
Therefore: Woman = Donkey + spend Woman - spend = Donkey
In other words, Woman who doesn't spend = Donkey
++++++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +++++++++ +
To Conclude: From Equation 2 and Equation 3
Man who doesn't earn money = Woman who doesn't spend
So Man earns money not to let woman become a donkey! And a woman spends not to let the man become a donkey!
So, We have: Man + Woman = Donkey + earn money + Donkey + Spend money
Therefore from postulates 1 and 2, we can conclude
Man + Woman = 2 Donkeys that live happily together!
Enjoy every moment of Life.

Guys never forget the wife of your youth. It is a very bad thing. When God blesses and promotes you, do not forget about the woman that was there for you when you were a nobody. Never leave the women who probably had better suitors but chose to marry you out of love. |

Used to hold grudge,could last even a decade,but since I stated praying this lines every morning "...and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those...." It just doesn't make me feel my prayers wld be answered without forgiving my offenders, so I forgive and have peace.
But mostly it has too do with ur temprament.

Family › Re: Please Am Darely In Need Of Your Candid Advice On My Relationship by DonTim1: 3:58pm On Sep 10, 2015 |
barbiegirl4luv: Thanks alot
But I am not looking for a ready made guy, I always mould my guys into what I want and they always do appreciate it, the job he got as a lecturer, he didn't want to take it up, he got two at the same time, I was the one that inspired him to take up the lecturing job, so we have always been there for each other. And I am 27 I have never for once been baffled abt marriage cos it dsnt move me coupled with the rate of divorce out there, it was just that day (last week) we had an argument I got to think about it and I know I can't run from it. And again he inspires me all the time always advising me and motivating me to move up my career. But my present guy has cares less about everything, can't take up challenges and my main problem with him is that I am feeling unsecured.
and for clarity I am not ready for marriage I just need to know my stand and start making up my mind. @bolded, can you mould him (ur present guy) if no, its totally up to you to go / choose where u feel secured. |
Family › Re: Please Am Darely In Need Of Your Candid Advice On My Relationship by DonTim1: 1:39pm On Sep 10, 2015 |
ur former guy, being a lecturer? and still claiming he loves u is kinda weird, gurl forget it, do you know how many beautiful and some even well behaved girls surrond him in school?did his life just pause since '13 ? you are prolly unfinished business or un-conquered grounds.
face you life,you graduated 2013, and u claim to want to marry, (i suspect, u want to marry a ready guy i.e. one with good job et al), y not build your own career and perhaps one day, you and your current guy can tie the knot. he isnt ready as u implied and most igbos i knw would not marry until they are very secure.
PS: and to the supermen who claim they dont / wouldnt cry cause of a lady, continue,next time emotions hold u and u cry with her, just remember u lied here. |

whiteroses: The following occurrence is not a joke, this happened to me in broad day light. This happened to prophets of old and we believed, you should still believe now in the days of camera phone that JESUS CHRIST IS LORD AND THE SAME.
So I bought a bottle of water last week, which was almost empty last night. Remember I just finished praying against defilement of witchcraft. I ended the prayer and needed to drink water. I looked up on the dining table to reach for the water only to see the bottle which was almost empty had been refilled! It looked just like it was when I bought it! The bottle was almost empty last night, but it was filled to the top miraculously. I don't know why the holy spirit filled it but i drank some of it and praying with the rest.
I started panicking and my heart was racing, I called my mum and I assured her I do not have another bottle it was just one! and it was almost empty.
I was shocked and confused so i went on google to research if this type of occurrences are real. I stumbled upon a christian forum where people shared unexplained occurrences such as running out of gas in the boarders of mexico side but the car dint stop for nearly 6 hours till they got into the city. Another person went for an interview and forgot his documents at home, this person excused himself to the bathroom and cried to God in the toilet for a miracle, only to find his document was in his bag as he returned into the interview room.
So miracles are happening for real and I bless God for my encounter today. Praise God
I pray for everyone that is believing a miracle and breakthrough in this new month that you are free from failure and doors are opened for you in Jesus name. if i talk ehn  Just thinking abt my response to this makes me ROTF  anyway, ur faith has made u whole |
