Lagos State doesn't have $2 billion in debt. More on the order of ~$400 million external, ~$600 million internal.

It is a matter of principle for me.

Eh... It takes 4x4 pixel blocks, seems to average the color over each block.

I suppose if that is the type of low-quality conversion you are looking for, then sure.

I would murder:

2) her
3) the unborn/born child

Hehe.

It is good to be a landlord, and not a tenant.

hmm

Nobody in their right mind would copy anything in Islam. Least of all Christians, lol.

I don't think that this is possible.

HTML is purely for describing markup.

Photos are binary data.

How would you map a single pixel to HTML, for example?

Of course, you can figure out a mapping. But not one that when you open up in a brower, will display that pixel.

Unless you just plan on doing an <img> tag for that pixel. Which is sort of cheating..if you allow yourself to just reference the pixel with an image tag, then you may as well just reference the photo with the same tag

Yeah, read about that the other day. Looks like they 419ed the investors..

Obasanjo is not and was not a foolish man.

He effectively spent 1999-2007 taming and cutting the North down to size.

When he had a chance to choose a successor, he choose the most sickly and weak Northerner he could find.

Why did he do these things?

Why didn't he choose an Atiku?

The only threat in Nigeria is not the PDP. How can we forget so quickly that there is still a clique of people, who when their kinsman Yar'Adua became president effectively tried coup?

The same people who have inflated their population figures, higher allocations, more states, etc?

Let us be very careful in what we do.

We should not cut off our nose to spite our face.

The PDP should be defeated, yes. But Obasanjo's project of taming the North must also be continued.

[quote author=Akanbi_edu]The other lines about how SW leaders need to make sacrifices to keep the unity is a VERY WEAK position to take. The SW has been in opposition from time, the SW has indeed sacrificed too much to keep Nigeria one. Keeping Nigeria one should be a task for every part of Nigeria, not a section. If the northerners want one and united country, they should be willing to make as much sacrifice as others. Anything else is totally unacceptable.[/quote]+10,000

merge: As evil as this video is, this is what Africans gets for not uniting. They rather fight their people than their common enemies. Let them watch. If you don't start WISING UP, then this is what you are heading to. Africans will have no choice in their near future. Either they will be exterminated or STAND UP for their continent. A reality they are trying to avoid and pray to an Arab God and White God. There no easy way out to TRUE freedom.

It will be easier to unite if we have our own space in separate countries.

Eh, just pick an arbitrary language. Most of us can get the gist from any language you'll likely pick.

I'm not likely to google around to learn more unless I'm convinced first of its usefulness..

Beaf, may want to check out this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1578493/net-graph-library-around

There are two common choices for storing graphs.

Either adjacency lists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_list), or adjacency matrices (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adjacency_matrix).

Adjacency lists save space and are better suited for sparse graphs (like the NL graph presumably is).

I am enjoying this thread.

This post would be much better with a concrete example.

ezotik: so how can u be "pretty sure" when u didn't even know bini and esan is almost like one language and not even as far as ekiti and ijebu?

Because I know for a fact that not all languages in Edo State are mutually intelligible. If there are X languages, and one pair are mutually intelligible, it doesn't mean that the rest are..

duh



duh..

Fair enough. Not everyone else will agree with you.

and oh btw, im not interested in getting into any nitty gritty type of argument with anybody. i was just curious why OP split edo especially bini and esan forgetting about his own group and joined all the "calabar people" together. so later.

I doubt it is some conspiracy against the Edo ethnicity (which I didn't even know existed until talking to you just now, and which contradicts what other Edo indigenes have told me).

Take a chill pill dude..

1. I'm pretty sure that all the languages in Edo are not mutually intelligible, is my point. I guess rather than saying "under the impression", I should have said "you are wrong."

2. Do you consider Esan and Bini to be one ethnic group? Do you consider the Edoid peoples of Edo State to be all one ethnic group?

You own a copyright on census polling?

You must be a very wealthy man then, in that case

Actually, next year, it will be a Yoruba man (me) who will do the poll, Odumchi.

Odumchi, it prefers that some would be happier if rather than listing their ethnicity, you list their state..

ezotik: maybe u should leave ekiti for once and to learn about other groups.

Lmao

who says ediod languages are not "mutually intelligible"? esan and bini is almost like one language not to take of others.

So a Bini speaker can understand what an Esan speaker is saying? Is this true of all groups in Edo State? I was under the impression that the opposite is true.

btw, since u are yoruba, why was ekiti and ijebu not separated?

Shouldn't this question be directed at the author of the poll, not I?

I suspect that, since most Yoruba speakers favor standard Yoruba over their own dialect, the communication difficulties that existed in the 1800s were mostly gone by 1950, 1960 or so. Not to talk of 2012.

Be careful that you don't destroy the PDP and replace it with something worse.

I think that the PDP should be weakened, attacked on multiple fronts. But i am not sure that destroying it and handing over the power vacuum that remains to the North is a wise idea.

Actually, let me be less circumspect...I think it is an insane idea.

ezotik: just curious, why did u split edo into groups? you even went as far as to split bini and esan but u joined ibibio/efik/annang as one?

so, since u are igbo, if u could go as far as splitting bini and esan why didn't u do same with igbo? i can't see ukwani, ika, ikwerre, ngwa. oh, i get it. ika and ngwa na one but bini and esan is not.

abeg carry ur yeye polls dey go with ur divisive method. and i didn't bother voting anyway.

Ibibio, Efik, Annang, their languages are mutually intelligible, no?

The Edoid groups, their languages are not, right?

Bans in Europe, I am less familiar with.

But certainly your claim about arbitrary food bans in the US is false.

Anyway, the reps have spoken. The bill has been rightfully rejected.

Beaf: In the EU, fruits need to be a certain shape to be accepted for sale or export; in the US (as elsewhere), there are regulations on the amount of salt in fast foods. Most countries ban certain types of egg, beef, pork etc.
Some of these things are done for health reasons, others for strictly economic reasons.
Every country regulates what its citizens eat.

I have never heard of any regulation on the amount of salt in fast foods in the US. Furthermore, given that they provide salt shakers at restaurants, you can add as much salt as you want..

I do not know of any bans on egg, beef, pork here in the US (unless it is a temporary ban for health. E.g., banning infected pork from location X.) Salmon which I eat frequently is typically imported..

Ballabriggs has actually said some important points.

In addition, the focus should be on making local products more competitive, rather than artificially weakening the competitiveness of foreign products.

The best way to stimulate local production is with electricity. Not with bans..

Beaf: There is no country in the World where people are allowed to eat what they like. Nigeria should also regulate what its people eat.

What on earth are you talking about. People are allowed to eat what they like in most countries I know of, so long as it is food and not physically harmful to their bodies...
