My people let get it right now, let us be truthful to ourselves, when 19 Nigerian Soldiers were killed in Benue State, what happened? to Zaki-Biam,

Niger Delta is not the Case here, why should they kill the soldiers, These militants are thief's now, they are no longer fighting because they are Niger deltan patriotic guys.

should they must be brought to book.

Let be fair to ourselves here, Nairalanders.

Why I got angry? Nigerian don't encourage  younger one at all, even Governments and banks, who will even try to steal our proposed idea and go to India to develop it.

All am saying is that we can do it very well here, if and only if we are encourage to do,

Taking a big step back, a Web server serves pages for viewing in a Web browser, while an application server provides methods that client applications can call. A little more precisely, you can say that:
A Web server exclusively handles HTTP requests, whereas an application server serves business logic to application programs through any number of protocols.

Let's examine each in more detail.

The Web server

A Web server handles the HTTP protocol. When the Web server receives an HTTP request, it responds with an HTTP response, such as sending back an HTML page. To process a request, a Web server may respond with a static HTML page or image, send a redirect, or delegate the dynamic response generation to some other program such as CGI scripts, JSPs (JavaServer Pages), servlets, ASPs (Active Server Pages), server-side JavaScripts, or some other server-side technology. Whatever their purpose, such server-side programs generate a response, most often in HTML, for viewing in a Web browser.
Understand that a Web server's delegation model is fairly simple. When a request comes into the Web server, the Web server simply passes the request to the program best able to handle it. The Web server doesn't provide any functionality beyond simply providing an environment in which the server-side program can execute and pass back the generated responses. The server-side program usually provides for itself such functions as transaction processing, database connectivity, and messaging.
While a Web server may not itself support transactions or database connection pooling, it may employ various strategies for fault tolerance and scalability such as load balancing, caching, and clustering—features oftentimes erroneously assigned as features reserved only for application servers.
The application server
As for the application server, according to our definition, an application server exposes business logic to client applications through various protocols, possibly including HTTP. While a Web server mainly deals with sending HTML for display in a Web browser, an application server provides access to business logic for use by client application programs. The application program can use this logic just as it would call a method on an object (or a function in the procedural world).
Such application server clients can include GUIs (graphical user interface) running on a PC, a Web server, or even other application servers. The information traveling back and forth between an application server and its client is not restricted to simple display markup. Instead, the information is program logic. Since the logic takes the form of data and method calls and not static HTML, the client can employ the exposed business logic however it wants.
In most cases, the server exposes this business logic through a component API, such as the EJB (Enterprise JavaBean) component model found on J2EE (Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition) application servers. Moreover, the application server manages its own resources. Such gate-keeping duties include security, transaction processing, resource pooling, and messaging. Like a Web server, an application server may also employ various scalability and fault-tolerance techniques.
An example
As an example, consider an online store that provides real-time pricing and availability information. Most likely, the site will provide a form with which you can choose a product. When you submit your query, the site performs a lookup and returns the results embedded within an HTML page. The site may implement this functionality in numerous ways. I'll show you one scenario that doesn't use an application server and another that does. Seeing how these scenarios differ will help you to see the application server's function.
Scenario 1: Web server without an application server
In the first scenario, a Web server alone provides the online store's functionality. The Web server takes your request, then passes it to a server-side program able to handle the request. The server-side program looks up the pricing information from a database or a flat file. Once retrieved, the server-side program uses the information to formulate the HTML response, then the Web server sends it back to your Web browser.
To summarize, a Web server simply processes HTTP requests by responding with HTML pages.
Scenario 2: Web server with an application server
Scenario 2 resembles Scenario 1 in that the Web server still delegates the response generation to a script. However, you can now put the business logic for the pricing lookup onto an application server. With that change, instead of the script knowing how to look up the data and formulate a response, the script can simply call the application server's lookup service. The script can then use the service's result when the script generates its HTML response.
In this scenario, the application server serves the business logic for looking up a product's pricing information. That functionality doesn't say anything about display or how the client must use the information. Instead, the client and application server send data back and forth. When a client calls the application server's lookup service, the service simply looks up the information and returns it to the client.
By separating the pricing logic from the HTML response-generating code, the pricing logic becomes far more reusable between applications. A second client, such as a cash register, could also call the same service as a clerk checks out a customer. In contrast, in Scenario 1 the pricing lookup service is not reusable because the information is embedded within the HTML page. To summarize, in Scenario 2's model, the Web server handles HTTP requests by replying with an HTML page while the application server serves application logic by processing pricing and availability requests.
Caveats
Recently, XML Web services have blurred the line between application servers and Web servers. By passing an XML payload to a Web server, the Web server can now process the data and respond much as application servers have in the past.
Additionally, most application servers also contain a Web server, meaning you can consider a Web server a subset of an application server. While application servers contain Web server functionality, developers rarely deploy application servers in that capacity. Instead, when needed, they often deploy standalone Web servers in tandem with application servers. Such a separation of functionality aids performance (simple Web requests won't impact application server performance), deployment configuration (dedicated Web servers, clustering, and so on), and allows for best-of-breed product selection.


Difference between AppServer and a Web server

(1) Webserver serves pages for viewing in web browser, application server provides exposes businness logic for client applications through various protocols
(2) Webserver exclusively handles http requests.application server serves bussiness logic to application programs through any number of protocols.
(3) Webserver delegation model is fairly simple,when the request comes into the webserver,it simply passes the request to the program best able to handle it(Server side program). It may not support transactions and database connection pooling.
(4) Application server is more capable of dynamic behaviour than webserver. We can also configure application server to work as a webserver.Simply applic! ation server is a superset of webserver.
Web Server serves static HTML pages or gifs, jpegs, etc., and can also run code written in CGI, JSP etc. A Web server handles the HTTP protocol. Eg of some web server are IIS or apache.
An Application Server is used to run business logic or dynamically generated presentation code. It can either be .NET based or J2EE based (BEA WebLogic Server, IBM WebSphere, JBoss).
A J2EE application server runs servlets and JSPs (infact a part of the app server called web container is responsible for running servlets and JSPs) that are used to create HTML pages dynamically. In addition, J2EE application server can run EJBs - which are used to execute business logic.
An Application server has a 'built-in' web server, in addition to that it supports other modules or features like e-business integration, independent management and security module, portlets etc.
An application server is technology where developers can create, test, and execute application components. Application servers are typically J2EE-based, running EJBs or other Java components. Application servers are designed to create true applications with complex business logic, and have scalability features such as load balancing, fail-over, and process distribution. In other words, it's primarily a development environment.

In contrast, Web servers are technology designed to create and deploy Web site, serving up content more so than applications. They both use Web interfaces, but Web servers are more about the interface than the back-end logic. In other words, Web servers serve up content.

As time moves on Web servers are looking more like application server, as they adopt their functionality. I can understand the confusion.

Abandoning his taciturn stance for the first time yesterday, President Umaru Musa Yar’adua fired back at his former godfather Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, saying electoral reform has already began in this country with his sending seven electoral reform bills to the National Assembly. Yar’adua was apparently responding to the ex-president, who recently said in Kano that he wasn’t aware that any electoral reform was being implemented in the country.

For the first time in his two-year rule, Yar’adua walked into the State House media centre yesterday to speak to reporters. He said the electoral reform is being implemented in stages. According to him, the first stage of the reform involves enacting enabling laws that’ll legitimise the process, while the second stage involves appointing credible Nigerians into electoral agencies. The third stage, he said, involves the reorientation of politicians to jettison do or die politics.

He said, “Electoral reform is on. We are at the first stage, which is to give the country qualitative laws to govern our elections. Some have chosen to doubt our commitment to electoral reforms based on recent events. For us, however, this is a forceful reminder of the importance and urgency of wholesale and systemic reform of our electoral systems. For us, doubt is not an option. Doubts don’t solve problems. Hope and persistence do. As Nigerians, we cannot afford to give up on electoral reforms.” Obasanjo’s sarcastic remark had earlier drawn fire from the ruling Peoples Democratic Party (PDP), which condemned Obasanjo for saying he was unaware that any reforms were taking place. Obasanjo is chairman of the PDP’s Board of Trustees.

He said the seven election reform amendment bills he forwarded to the National Assembly could be passed within the next six weeks since he has pleaded with the leadership of the legislature to expedite action on the bills. He described those calling for a wholesale implementation of the recommendations of the Justice Muhammed Lawal Uwais –led Electoral Reform Panel as “ lacking full understanding of the contents of the panel’s report.”

According to Yar’adua, only ten of the 83 recommendations made by the Uwais panel were rejected while the remaining 73 were accepted and noted by the government. He said he has already sent seven different bills to the National Assembly for the amendment of the election-related sections of the 1999 Constitution and the 2006 Electoral Act in demonstration of his commitment to electoral reform. The president urged the opposition and other stakeholders to also present electoral reform bills from their own perspectives to the National Assembly for consideration, saying they have a constitutional right to do so.

“I want to also reassure all Nigerians that my administration’s commitment to enhancing the sanctity of our people’s votes through positive reforms to our electoral laws remains unshaken. Acting on the recommendations of the Justice Uwais-led National Electoral Reform Committee, we have already tabled several draft legislation to the National Assembly to give legal effect to critical reforms”, he said.

He said “the most recent reminder of the lapses in our electoral system is the just concluded gubernatorial re-run election in 63 wards of 10 local governments in Ekiti State which resulted in violence and widespread complaints of unwholesome practices by politicians of all persuasions in alleged collaboration with electoral and security officials.”

He said he has “ordered the appropriate security agencies to thoroughly investigate the reports of violence, intimidation of voters, bribery of electoral officials and other breaches of the law during the rerun governorship election in Ekiti State and prosecute all those against whom cases can be established irrespective of their political affiliation or status. This action is, of course, without prejudice to the right of aggrieved parties or individuals to seek legal redress through our courts and election tribunals.”

According to the president, “for the reforms to succeed there must be corresponding and fundamental changes in the approach of our political class to contests for elective offices and power at all levels.”

He therefore urged “the leaders of all our political parties to address their minds once again to the urgent need for more decorum and adherence to established laws in their quest for power. To paraphrase the late Professor Claude Ake, to have democracy we must have democrats. Our political elite at all levels must subject themselves to the rules of the game and embrace the democratic political culture.”

A Federal High Court in Akure has ordered Adaba 88.9 FM to resume transmission following a suit filed before it by the management of the radio station.

The court directed all the parties in the suit to maintain the status quo pending the hearing of the motion on notice fixed for May 25.

The presiding judge, Justice C. Okeke, gave the directive on Tuesday in an exparte order following the motion on notice filed by the counsel to the station, Mr. Bashiru Rhamoni.

A top management official of the station told our correspondent that the station would resume transmission later on Tuesday after all necessary parties must have been served with the court order.

It will be recalled that the National Broadcasting Commission had on Monday suspended the operational licence of the radio station over alleged violation of electoral coverage during the rerun election in Ekiti State .

The station, which filed a suit to challenge the NBC action, had also joined the Benin Zone of the commission as respondent in the suit.

The broadcasting outfit, which started transmission in 2008, had asked the court to restore its rights, saying the NBC had breached its constitutional rights to fair hearing, freedom against discrimination and freedom of expression.

The station added that it did not breach any code on May 25 as quoted by the NBC in the letter where its suspension was announced.

The management of the station also claimed that the fine imposed on it by the NBC did not follow the laid down procedure provided in the commission‘s code.

All the people that conducted the last Ekiti state Re-Run is in trouble as the gods of Yoruba land is angry

These are Iwu, Okiro, Backside REC Adebayo, --------



God is angry too


what do u thinks

A former Governor of Oyo State, Senator Rashidi Ladoja, has initiated a legal action against his former deputy, who is now the current Governor of the state, Chief Adebayo Alao-Akala, over the latter’s plan to probe the last six months of his administration.
Our correspondent learnt on Sunday that the ex- governor had filed the legal action before an Ibadan High Court on Friday.

Ladoja was also said to have engaged the services Alhaji Lasun Sanusi (SAN) to prosecute the case.

It was also learnt that the case will come up on Monday (today) before Justice Jumoke Aiki.

Alao-Akala had earlier inaugurated a six-member Judicial Commission of Enquiry, on April 29 to probe the financial transactions of Ladoja administration from December 1, 2006 to May 31, 2007.

But Ladoja had last week in a letter to Alao-Akala, asked him to represent his administration at the panel, since he was the deputy governor during the period.

The former Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice in the Ladoja administration, Mr. Adebayo Shittu, confirmed that the suit had been filed in an interview with our correspondent on Sunday.

He added that the motion ex parte, writ of summons and motion on notice against Alao-Akala had been filed.

According to Shittu, Alao-Akala; the state‘s Attorney-General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Michael Lana; Chairman and other members of the panel, including the lawyer, Mr. Hamzat Sule, are joined co-defendants to the suit.

Shittu said Ladoja’s action was based on the fact that the provision of the law on which Alao-Akala took his action was contrary to the 1999 Constitution.

He said Alao-Akala, being the governor “remains the final arbiter or the Court of Appeal on the findings of the panel.”

He said, “The terms of reference of the panel were criminal in nature. A panel like that could not try criminal cases which were the exclusive preserve of the law courts.

“There is also the Public Officer Protection Law that states that any trial of any former public office holder must take place within three months after action by the affected officer has been undertaken.”

“Ladoja left office almost two years now. So, you can see the illegality of their action.”

By the size of its population, territory and rich human and natural resources, Nigeria sees itself as a natural leader in Africa. But often times, the country fails to play the leadership role expected of it.

By the size of its population, territory and rich human and natural resources, Nigeria sees itself as a natural leader in Africa. But often times, the country fails to play the leadership role expected of it. For instance, Nigeria has failed to be a leader in resource management. As a result, it is regarded by the international community as a wasteful and corrupt country where majority of the citizens are suffering in the midst of great wealth.

Just as in resource management, Nigeria has also failed to show the expected leadership in democratic practice and that was why the military had been in control of the country’s political saddle for 30 out of the 48 years of its existence as an independent nation. In April 2007, the country organised general elections that failed to meet an acceptable minimum standard in Africa.

On September1, this year, Nigeria was singled out for failing to lead Africa in the global campaign to eradicate polio. The occasion was the 58th session of the World Health Organisation, WHO, conference of the regional committee for Africa in Yaounde, Cameroon. In her opening speech, Dr. Magaret Chan, director-general, WHO, said Nigeria was dragging the entire world backward in the war to eradicate polio. She lamented that while polio virus had been wiped out in other countries of the world, wild polio virus was still present in some states in Nigeria. Chan warned: "African countries and, indeed, the entire world is at risk of polio following the new outbreak of the most dangerous strain of polio in Nigeria which has already spread to neighbouring countries."

As if that was not enough indictment, the report presented to the conference by Dr. Luis Sambo, WHO regional director, completed the disgrace. According to him, Nigeria is the only country in Africa, still battling with the epidemic. In the light of this ugly development, the regional director stressed the need for an urgent and concerted action to stop the spread of wild polio virus currently ravaging some northern states of Nigeria.

As at June this year, there were 379 reported new cases of wild polio virus in Nigeria. Of this number, Kano state had 114 cases, Zamfara state, 55 and Kastina state, 35 cases. There were also 31 reported new cases in Jigawa, 25 in Bauchi, 20 in Kaduna, 17 in Borno and 13 in Sokoto State. Niger, Oyo and Yobe states had 11 cases each while Nasarawa state had six cases reported. Plateau and Taraba states had five reported cases each while Lagos had four. Three cases each were reported in Kebbi, Kwara, and Ogun States and two each in Benue, Enugu and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja. Only Adamawa and Gombe States had one case each.

One pertinent question many Nigerians have continued to ask is: Why is it very difficult to kick polio out of Nigeria as other developing countries have successfully done in spite of our annual immunisation campaigns over the years? According to reports, no state in Nigeria has so far achieved 100 percent oral vaccine coverage this year compared to the figures in 2006. Only five states are said to have achieved 80 percent coverage. This unfortunate situation calls for a re-examination of the campaign strategies we have adopted over time.

For instance, how effective are the public enlightenment messages used in the campaign? Through what channels are they reaching the communities? Are the channels credible? The next question to ask is: How committed are the various levels of government to the immunisation campaign? In 2006, the European Union Partnership to Re-inforce Immunisation Efficiency, EU-PRIME, accused Abia State government of persistent lack of commitment to improve oral vaccine coverage in the state. For this reason, Aba Zakari Umar, EU Country co-ordinator in Nigeria, said Abia state had to be removed from the list of beneficiaries of EU-PRIME grant.

Such persistent lack of commitment may not be peculiar to Abia state. Perhaps, such careless attitude on the part of governments is why Dr. Dere Awosika, former co-ordinator, National Programme on Immunisation, NPI, has suggested the passage of a Health Act that will spell out in clear terms the responsibilities of each tier of government in respect of the campaign. He observes that since there is no such law, the NPI is forced to carry out what should normally be the responsibilities of the lower tiers of government.

Apart from spelling out responsibilities, the Act should also make provision for stiff punishment for anybody who sabotages the national effort to eradicate polio in Nigeria and the world. Our leaders must act now to stop the shame

six new states are to be created
1. Adada State
2. Apa State
3. Kaduna South State
4 .Azare State
5. Odouduwa State
6. Ijaw state

Just wait and note ok

I am representing all the minorities tribes. Go to Kaduna state you will see them, Come to Benue you will see them, come to Kogi them full, Come to Cross River and run to the Niger Delta, have ever think in your mind if the Oil rich area where in Enugu, or OYO or Kano, we the enviro be like the present Niger delta area.

Brother we need am oh, I Isoku self, I pray for Apa and Kaduna south all times

Nairalanders how do we know who are minorities in Nigeria and what do you think is there problem and how can we solve it

Nairalanders can you guys come to my aim and tell us Who are minorities in Nigeria

ElRazur

Have u ever think deep if we were still under the Colonial master? and what they did to us? my friend the only answer to minority now is the state creation.

ElRazur


well if you dont want more state, I want it and I pray for it

and from analysis so far 80% of the 141 pollution Nigerians want new states to be created

1. In the Senate: the Number one man want it.
2. In the FHR: the Number one man want it
3. NLC wants it
4. Development Required it
5. All tribes want it
6. it is the sole cry of the minority

Thanks

ElRazur


from our common sense, its difficult  to do wrong things to your tribal person, at least I have seen that in  employment point of view in all Paratratals

Even the Ibos and  yoruba brothers despite the Ekiti wahala and Anambra polical wahala still do these.

so its better

we heading for only 42 now, more six will be created ok
