C++ my first love. One has to be careful with pointers though. Improper use could have serious implications for you programs. First I am hearing of Rule of Three and Rule of Five. Thumbs up for the info.

Can this be made into into a separate thread and pushed to front-page? @Ishilove, can you help on this? Thank you @naptu2 for the education. Do you write on Quora too?

naptu2:
Ishilove, Elfico, Vivuch, Roh50.

Since yesterday night I've been writing a piece that explains why the world did not intervene in the Rwanda crisis. I hope I finish it before the end of today.

I remember these issues very well. It all began with Ronald Reagan in the mid 1980s and the Somali debacle of 1993 was a crucial factor.

Can't wait to read it

naptu2:
Kofi Annan wasn't the secretary general at the time.

The secretary general of the UN at the time was Boutros Boutros Ghalli of Egypt.

I remember that he requested for assistance but none of the Western Powers wanted to provide assistance because of what happened to the US in Somalia.

He blamed the US while the US blamed him. He had a spat with Madeline Albright who was the US ambassador to the UN.

A secretary general usually has two terms and Boutros Ghalli was serving Africa's first term, but Madeline Albright campaigned hard to ensure that he didn't get a second term.

Kofi Annan was thus elected to continue Africa's tenure.

Thank you for the corrections.

naptu2:
I listened to an interview that General Roméo Dallaire gave to the BBC World Service in the early 2000s.

General Dallaire was the head of the UN peacekeeping force in Rwanda before and during the genocide. He suspected that the killings were about to happen and he asked the UN for more troops (his force was pretty small) but they refused to send more troops to him. The Americans did not want to send more troops to another African country (that they did not really care about) after what happened to their troops in Somalia.


He also asked for permission to seize weapons that the Hutus were stockpiling, but his superiors in New York refused to give him permission.


Eventually he had to focus his small body of troops on parts of Kigali in which he knew that Tutsis were hiding. He eventually saved thousands of Tutsis.


Yet he had post traumatic stress disorder because of the events that he witnessed in Rwanda. He repeatedly tried to kill himself because of the psychological torture he experienced whenever he remembered what happened in Rwanda.

Its even more depressing when you think that an African man, Boutros Ghalli was the UN Secretary General at that time. We had one of our own as the UN Secretary General and Genocide took place right under his nose.

Edit: I made a mistake about Kofi Anan being the UN Secretary General as at then. It has been corrected.

Google is really not hard to use you know.

A national hero. And she has a strong background too. Her grandfather is Herbert Macaulay and she is a grand niece to Nnmadi Azikwe. I think she should be given a national honour posthumously.

They have been deducting arbitrary charges all these years. Time for them to cough it out.

Sat down on night in my living room. It was dark as there was no light, and was so quiet the only sound was that of my clock ticking. I was chatting with someone and wanted to type a message but was trying to arrange my thoughts before typing. As I stared at my phone while thinking of the right words to use, I noticed that the cursor on the text input was blinking in rhythm with the ticking clock. The cursor blinked every second. All these years using a computer and a phone and I never noticed that. Really strange.

@seun, can you enforce the https? www.nairaland.com still brings the unsecured version of the site

Why won't they? When their customers are complaining of excessive charges. They can take people's money but not a joke.

Ambode is a good governor just like Ugwuanyi is.
But there are reasons I have believed Ugwuanyi is better than Ambode and I I want only the non nepotic well reasoning people to engage me.

No sentiment. No tribalism. No insults please. Mature people.

Below are the reasons Ugwuanyi is better than Ambode.

1) Ugwuanyi does not receive close to what Ambode receive from the federal govt.

2) Ugwuanyi have many rural community to develop unlike Ambode whose development is just Lagos city.

3) Enugu internally generated revenue cannot be compared to Lagos.

4) Lagos has private interest development with numerous sky scapper by companies as example.

5) Ambode has sea access and can bring in any good from abroad easily.

Any objection?

Population. Lagos has that and that would lead to spending on infrastructure and social amenities. All others are on point.

Name of account officer on app?
.

Yes.
update the app and you would see Account Officer on the side bar. Contains the name, phone and WhatsApp number.

leunamme93:
Thats why i didnt even bother naming the bank because i was positive it could happen with any Nigerian bank. I believe one personally locking the sim is one way of securing our account all we have to do then is just disturb the line with calls and make them switch it off, thereby rendering the sim useless because it will definitely ask for a pin when inserted any where its inserted.
Remember: If an incorrect PIN is entered more than three times, a PUK is needed!
ed!
Everyone should pay attention to this and start locking their sim.

I'm thinking of going to sars too, but i dont have the imei, who has the imei of a touch light phone . Maybe my own would be 40/60.

You don't have to name the bank. Those using the app knows its Access bank.
Asides other security measures, the name of your account officer is on that app. Just note it down and call them when you lose your sim. Sorry for your loss.

You’ll recall that an Iranian woman launched a Suicide attack on YouTube headquarters this year for the same reason.

She was American.

Already showing them what to expect when they finally decide to stay...SMH

During the dissent at Chelsea during Mourihno's second spell that got him sacked, Willian was the only player whose performance stood out. Its no brainer that he would want someone like that in his team..

Like her simple dressing and look. Kudos to her for making meaning impact in the society, a change from what is usually obtainable.

Hello @seun,

I noticed that my account was forcefully logged out yesterday and I had to login again today. On logging in, I saw someone a post from that I dont remember making. Also, I noticed that my profile is now following people I wasnt following before. I have reset my password and also reviewed my email settings just to be on the safe side. Please look into the issue.

Am in need of an unlocked 4G mifi device that works on ntel. If u have anyone available at a good price please let me know. Preferably if you are based in Lagos

@DAYTEECOM Very good service and timely response from smsdata.com.ng . The lady on the line was very polite, courteous and offered solutions to issues encountered.
I do have some suggestions though,

1. Calls made to the phone number on the site is not picked. I had to call the other number that was given on this thread. Now imagine for someone that went to the site directly and not via this thread, that would be discouraging. I would suggest that there is a dedicated number that is always available.

2. The verification email did not arrive in time and was frustrating for me as I could not login. You should look into this too.

3. The site sometimes doesn't display fully. I think it has to do with the sticky header. Top parts of the sites are sometimes hidden. Case in point, the email verification page only showed a "Resend verification email" but there was some text before that. Please look into this.

That said, I hope you continue providing good services. My family and friends contact me to buy data for them and I want to know that your services can be 99% reliable. Also, how reliable is it to fund my account using my MasterCard?

ADVICE !
Dont be like this guys here: www.clubkonnect.com
They are the worst when it comes to serving customers. They never pick calls nor respond to text / whatsapp messages. You do internet transfer to fund your account and they never fund it.
You subscribe for data, they dont credit your account. I have never used a service as bad as they.

According to the Dude code : "If a dude's zip is open, its none of your business, you didnt see anything"
I think this applies here.

Commenting on this thread would make me complicit in the endorsement of the stupid show. I reserve my comments

One happened recently in India. When the man discovered, he asked for a court injunction to get the real babies, but the kids refused to leave their adopted mother. The families decided to let the kids remain with the mother they each knew, but arranged to visit and spend time together as often so that the kids can be familiar with the other family and that when they grow up and learn the truth, they can decide for themselves.

Please why is his installation for a position that covers the whole of the Yoruba race being done by this Oba instead of the other younger ONI who is declared to be the actual don 1 in many quarters

Aare on a kakanfo is position created by the alafin of the Oyo Empire not by Ife

You be talking to someone and they would be chatting with another person. I go just end the conversation and get out. Life is too short
