PoliticsRe: Lagos Unveils Mega Rice Processing Factory by ektbear: 1:20am On May 17, 2012
Some people are dumb sha

You don't need to grow rice to mill it.

Any more than you need to grow raw cocoa to produce chocolate......

Sambo is an id1ot

Is useless talk alone like his what will solve deep problems like lack of power huh

These guys are too sentimental. Or stvpid. Or both.
PoliticsRe: Lagos Unveils Mega Rice Processing Factory by ektbear: 10:54pm On May 16, 2012
It honestly doesn't matter either way. There is nothing wrong with buying raw products from elsewhere and making refined products from it.

Hell, this is what the rest of the world has done to Africa for hundreds of years...and they've made a handsome profit doing so grin

The purpose of a factory is to turn inputs into outputs. Presumably one wants to source those inputs as cheaply as possible. Sometimes the cheapest input is local, other times it is not..

Either way, doesn't matter

It doesn't really matter whether the rice is grown in Nigeria or not.

Nigerian government...full of lazy whiners and complainers.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria, China Disagree Over Anti-dumping Pact................. by ektbear: 10:21pm On May 16, 2012
Lol. And who is buying these so-called substandard goods?

If many Nigerians are not happily buying them, there won't be any market.

Rather than complaining, improve electricity in the country so that there will be more alternatives.
ProgrammingRe: Please Don't Learn To Code by ektbear: 7:30pm On May 16, 2012
delomos: It assumes that more code in the world is an inherently desirable thing. In my thirty year career as a programmer, I have found this … not to be the case. Should you learn to write code? No, I can't get behind that. You should be learning to write as little code as possible. Ideally none.

It assumes that coding is the goal. Software developers tend to be software addicts who think their job is to write code. But it's not. Their job is to solve problems. Don't celebrate the creation of code, celebrate the creation of solutions. We have way too many coders addicted to doing just one more line of code already.

It puts the method before the problem. Before you go rushing out to learn to code, figure out what your problem actually is. Do you even have a problem? Can you explain it to others in a way they can understand? Have you researched the problem, and its possible solutions, deeply? Does coding solve that problem? Are you sure?
I agree with this. Solving problems should be the goal, not writing code.

Eh. How can you blindly throw your support behind words that were at best tasteless, and probably dangerous and idiotic?

I strongly disagree with the ACNs position on this.

In any case, wetin concern them about a dispute between CPC and PDP?

This is the sort of thing I would have hoped my state would take initiative on.

Alas.....

PoliticsRe: Ibadan In Its Glory by ektbear: 7:47am On May 15, 2012
At a minimum, if you are going to post pictures of buildings in Ibadan built in the 40s, then let us also see pictures from your area of buildings from the 1940s..
PoliticsRe: Ibadan In Its Glory by ektbear: 7:42am On May 15, 2012
Eh.

Old cities certainly have parts which will look older than new cities.

I wonder why people always post pictures of places built in the 40s, 50s and earlier rather then say Bodija.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria (and Other African Countries) Need To Follow Botswana And Not The West. by ektbear: 6:28am On May 15, 2012
I'd rather follow successful models rather than anti-European models.

The objective is winning the game, not necessarily doing it with an entirely unique, indigenous strategy.

Let's be more pragmatic...take whatever works and use it.
PoliticsRe: The Dog & The Baboon Will Be Soaked In Blood - Buhari by ektbear: 6:23am On May 15, 2012
I think the best thing is to just work to see the country split apart.

I'm not sure that working within the Nigerian political system will lead to good results.

The entire thing needs to be destroyed and split into pieces.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Linda Ikeji Vs Seun Osewa by ektbear: 1:03am On May 14, 2012
afam4eva: Not when Seun is sharing money accrueing from ads with Google. Linda Ikeji gets direct advertisement from companies but Seun uses a 3rd party(Google). Though i still think Seun makes more money for now but that may change in the future if Seun does not leverage on the advantage Nairaland has over other Nigerian states due to it's traffic.
Actually, you and the OP might be right. I visited her site just now and am seeing local, directly placed advertisements.

Local advertising might pay more money? I don't know what the figures look like exactly.


Hrm, incidentally, she looks kind of cute:

Nairaland GeneralRe: Linda Ikeji Vs Seun Osewa by ektbear: 6:23pm On May 13, 2012
If:

a) seun is getting a lot more traffic than her
b) they both make most of their money from advertising

then it follows that Seun is making more money than her.

Unless for whatever reason her viewers clicked ads more frequently, or her ad rates were somehow higher.
