maclatunji: Unfortunately yes in my opinion.

which kyn discrimination be dis, maclatunji

Sure, I guess we can agree to disagree.

Of course, not surprising for Beaf to rally to the defense of his fellow laptops.

They know their own

Nokia ke

Opera mini?

You got it wrong Mr Laptop...I'm Android

Landing a human being on the moon >>> sending a satellite into space, as far as accomplishments go.

Both are historic. But the former more significant, and a bigger push of existing boundaries.

Mr Laptop, I am a grizzly bear in human form. Does that answer your question?

Btw, if one somehow managed to only mention Sputnik while not at all mentioning one of the more impressive achievements of mankind's history (landing on the moon)...well, that would be pretty unfortunate.

I understand that there is a latent anti-American bias among some Nigerians. But credit has to be given to great accomplishments, whether you like the country doing it or not..

I'm actually not sure. They started settling heavily mostly in the 1800s? So some of them might actually view it as part of their history too.

Anyway, I don't really know what a world history course in Liberia looks like.

But I would not be surprised if they discuss it in some detail.

OK. So you agree that this event should at least be mentioned when discussing world history.

Then my initial posts stand.

Now, whether one would go into depth or not is I suppose at the discretion of the school board. Or possibly a decision made by the school itself, or the instructor.

Speaking of West Africans.

Liberians. Would you say that they too would have no interest in the American revolution in a world history course?

Hehe

Well, obviously any world history course will be slanted and emphasize some material over the other.

Whether it is biased or not is not what is being discussed here.

The question is, are there some events that would/should be included in any summary of history?

For example, if talking about the 60s, would the Americans landing on the moon be included?

I would argue that yes, it would. And more generally, in each century, there are events that everyone would include.

I would argue further that for the 1700s, the American revolution is one such event.

So. You seem to think that the American revolution is not of interest to West Africans learning about 18th century history, I take it?

If so, then what events from the 18th century would you include in your hypothetical West African world history course?

How on earth can you have a world history class and skip the French revolution.

Or the Bolshevik revolution.

Meiji restoration, I don't remember if we covered this in HS, but it was certainly in the textbook. We may have discussed it as well.

OK. So what events would you propose covering if one discusses 1700s?

1. more swag than his competitors

Well

[quote author=Okija_juju]A student who aced WAEC can gain admission into school in any west afican country, yet can't ain't admission in Nigeria..[/quote]somebody said it. So you are wrong.

Basically, if you don't care about accessing the internet from your phone and ONLY want to use a phone to make calls/send text messages, then sure, don't get a smart phone.

But if you like watching movies/browsing the internet/checking email/facebooking/nairalanding/listening to music/etc from anywhere, then you should get a smart phone.

3) Not as Convenient as You May Think
In my opinion, smartphones really aren’t as convenient as you might imagine. No matter what connectivity speed you have, pages load relatively slowly on smartphones, and navigating them is more a nuisance than anything else.

Just connect via wi-fi to your internet connection. That way you can browse on your phone at the same speeds as you do on your laptop.

A world history class should discuss significant events. One of the more significant events in the 1700s was the American revolution.

The rest of your posts are pretty much irrelevant nonsense

maclatunji: Ok, I can see from the users list that we are now on front page. Please, only constructive comments are needed here. Thank you.

Hehe. The remark I made (and this post) will probably be my last. I just found Jarus's plea funny

Jarus: Pls I beg u in the name of God almighty, no Shia-Sunni here. If you want to come, come; if you don't want, spare us this story

No invite for LagosShia, I take it

Actually, upon rereading the first post mentioning of the word:

shymmex: They're all the same people...

It's just like saying the Ijebus and Egbas have put tribalism to shame in Lagos by voting for an Awori man..

OK, he went too far, definitely. And I certainly don't endorse the bolded text.

Meh

I don't care whether you are Bini or not.

I just object to simplistic, useless analysis like this.

OK. So you seem to believe that:

1) much of Nigeria's problems are due to tribalism
2) This tribalism is irrational, and has been irrational every single time it was done? I.e., the tribalistic group did not benefit in any way, shape or form from their actions, yes?

I will congratulate myself tomorrow for not cutting off my leg.

Can someone please make a thread celebrating me tomorrow for this worthy accomplishment?

Who is thanking anyone for giving them equal rights in the US?

If you are caught discriminating against someone because they are gay, then you'll likely get sued and lose a lot of money...

Kindly link to the equivalent thread on whatever the US version of Nairaland is, where people are thanking others for not violating their rights

Who said they are the same? How does using the term "Edoid" assume that they are the same?

Lol. You'd even have a better argument if someone had simply said Edo. But by using that word specifically, one is only saying that there is some degree of similarity.

Which is 100% accurate..

Behaving tribally is not always irrational. It depends on the context.

Moreover, how on earth can you praise someone for being rational?

Should someone praise you for not sticking your hand into a fire?

"Well done bros, good job, you did not burn off your hand today"

SHA-2 performs hashing. This is different from encryption.

Hashing, you cannot recover the original message.

Encryption, you can.

So if you are storing passwords for say Nairaland users, hashing is suitable: just store the hashed version of a user's password. And then when you need to log them in, hash the text they type, then test for equality against the password in their database.

However, if i want to send a secret email to the OP, and don't want anyone else to read it, I had better use encryption. If I hash my email, then the OP won't be able to read it

tobechi74: Women are confused specie

correct yarn

Mbaise

The people demand it

Perhaps in 50 or 100 years time, Nigerians will learn what democracy actually means. And not praise someone for permitting them to enjoy their rights.

So, if you cannot plant, then don't. I don't think Fashola's message is directed at those who are unable to comply with his request..

Anyway, I'm sure you guys already knew that, but wanted to be mischievous on purpose

And Edoid is a legitimate linguistic term....
