Religion is intrusive. And people only see it when it's coming from another religion other than thiers.

God help us.

Apart from a few individual peculiarities, the database structure of social network and social networking apps are fairly the same. Asides from the fact that these table relations are already well known by most developers out there, they can easily be gotten online as well. So yes, one person with a fairly good knowledge of both backend and front end (web or mobile) development should be able to do a personal SN app. However, you'd probably need a hand if your skills aren't as encompassing as I described. Again, notice I used the word "personal". That's because I don't subscribe to the idea of one person doing all the software development business alone in a commercial setting cause non technical skills like project management, finance, quality assurance, etc. then comes into play.

Finally, how long it will take depends on your skills, availability, expected features and starting point. Normally these factors are used to calculate team velocity and in turn, team velocity is used to come up with story points. Normally, a story point represents a certain numbers of hours in a day.

Hope my response was a bit helpful. I'm sure others will have a lot to add. Best of luck.

Lol... Dude, what kind of ridiculous statistics/assumption is this? With all due respect to your opinion sir, I think that was an overreach. Why would you think people who can afford what you can't afford are Yahoo people?

Olatara:
You are an opposite of your signature. You are intolerant to his opinion.

Nope. Tolerance doesn't mean agreeing with everyone's opinion. It means not letting the disagreement degenerate into a fight.

yeah i am lookiing forward to this day. its also the day of winter solstice officially signifying the end of an era and the start of another. the first will be last and the last will be first. watch as america starts crumbling and disintegrating fast after this day is passed, then you will see the emergence of super intelligent beings with spiritual powers. Christ like beings

Yes, and Nigeria will become the world power. And humans will be able to travel to the past/future. And fishes will start walking on land and start taking over our jobs. And then Samurai Jack will step in alongside Power Puff Girls to fight the king of fishes...

How is he any different from a dictator?

Hahaha.... you guys are funny. You want to run a democratic government in school again? Perhaps, the students should vote if they want to take exams in a semester or not.

Interesting really. But what of those in arts and management sciences? I personally believe the university curriculum is what needs to be revisited. But then again, who will do the teaching? Sigh...

dsocioemmy:
Bro, It was very clear from the onset. No need to break it down. They just want to argue

Thanks sir. Glad I was understood.

Whiteshield:
Some are seemingly financially literate, they are just beset by their base instincts of greed and gullibility. People like Aremso.

Lol.. I see.

jabolo:
Unfortunately, many won't. A multitude of eventual 'losers' is inherent in the design of any Ponzi scheme.

If you've not seen it already, may I recommend this golden thread for bedtime reading (over successive bedtimes, I reckon) when you have the time... https://www.nairaland.com/5169158/mba-investors-forum

An object lesson in Ponzi psychology if there ever was one..

Good Day.

Sad reality.

I'll take a look at the thread later.

Thanks

jabolo:
That's for his 'investors' to ask? He promises them 180% per annum so he must be making at least 200% to cover expenses (Ferrari included).

Assuming, of course, we're not engaging in a sacarsm double bluff conversation.

Good day.

Beyond sarcasm, I really believe the whole thing boils down to lack of financial literacy on the part of his investors. I hope they get their capital at least.

The Bolded. Stop wasting internet ink. Why not just say Are not Common

Mckore:
I felt the same too lol. "Are common" you mean.

Lol... you guys are really funny. The two expressions might mean the same thing but there's a slight difference. Let me explain on a lighter note:

When one says something is not uncommon, the emphasy is on the fact that it is very common as against what people might believe. In other words, the expression "not uncommon" means "contrary to popular belief, they are common". But when one just says something is common, the emphasy is on that thing being discussed and not necessarily on any contrary belief. So I used the expression "not uncommon" as a way to emphatically invalidate or disprove the general belief that people out there always know one or two things about Nigeria. It was a carefully chosen choice of words, I wasn't just playing around. Nevertheless, sorry for any headache caused.

WoundedLamb:
What's your point exactly? Because Canada is diverse, every organization must have an African? Do you know the staff size of the guy's organization? The guy specifically said he lives in the most diverse city (he wasn't even emphasizing on the entire country), do you know if his office is in the same city? Do you even know the guy at all? If you had doubts, why not ask for clarifications instead of just coming online to call someone a lier based on assumptions just because you believe you have a fair knowledge of Canada? I have lived in Canada virtually all my life and yes, there are MANY organizations both in Quebec where I live and in many other provinces that do not have people from a certain continents. It doesn't make Canada any less diverse.

Thank you.

jabolo:
He is the guy who has universal secret of how to generate 200% per annum in the forex market (while the most sophisticated currency hedge funds are generating 5% per annum on average).

With this secret, he is not approaching these hedge funds to give him even 1% of their funds under management (still billions of dollars, mind) but he is that benevolent he'd rather invite thousands of *Nigerians (most of them poor) to come and 'invest' their funds with him.

And, ''no, no, no ... it's definitely not a Ponzi Scheme". Just ignore the Ferrari and opulent lifestyle - just trust him, eh?



* As a society, we need our heads examined daily IMO.

@bolded: Wow! What does he have in his investment portfolio that yields that much?!

Depressed101:
must be new york or london

Browse the most diverse city in the world. You'd be surprised.

FuckThaMod:
Canada and yet you're supporting the evil gov't of Nigeria. you must be very wicked

Do I know you, sir? Have we ever discussed the Nigerian politics?

ablemachine:
The Bolded. Stop wasting internet ink. Why not just say Are not Common

I meant what I said. Those questions are not uncommon. That means people ask them often.

Lucas4903:
As diverse as Canada is and YET you are the only African in the Organization (some sort of bragging right I presume).....except if is not the Canada I know anymore. Wehdone sir.

I missed the point here. That Canada is not diverse or than I'm not the only African in the organisation? You could actually go straight to what you want to say and have me respond instead of being sarcastic and elusive.

Oh... Ok. Thanks

Sorry, what other types are there?

Who is he?

Lmao... if this was a Nollywood movie, we would have been criticising the script writers for coming up with something that's not realistic/believable. Now see your reality...

ednut1:
Many people i have met dont know where Nigeria is. Person wey dey stay banana island cant be bothered about how life is in iyana ipaja. Some dont even know we speak English.

Exactly.

It's natural/normal for people to believe their countries have got the spotlight for one reason or the other. But really, the world's is way too big to give a damn. Countries near Nigeria (other African countries) might make a big deal of one being a Nigerian but not out here. I think most of the stories about people behaving in a certain way when they hear one is from Nigeria happen at the airports or embassies where nationality is indeed a subject (I had a slightly unpleasant experience at the airport in Dubai).

Remified:
Nice
Which country are u based
And can u say the same for other cities in the country

I'm in Canada. Some parts of Canada are far more diverse than others so it might be over generalizing to assume it's the same thing everywhere. Besides, I only shared my personal experience.

The truth is, Nigeria isn't even as well known as people in Nigeria like to think. Questions like where is Nigeria, is it anglophone or francophone, etc. are not uncommon.

To start with, the city where I live is considered to be the most diverse city in the world. Virtually everyone is from somewhere. In such a place, people are addressed based on their content and not based on where they are from or their accent. The truth is, we all have read or heard many things about one another's country (both good and bad) and we have also met both good and terrible people from the same country. So we know better than to stereotype people. To be honest, most of my experience has been in the corporate environment but I strongly believe the city is way too diverse for Nigerians to be singled out nevertheless.

To answer the OP more directly, everyone knows I'm Nigerian at my place of work cause we normally spend a lot of time talking about our home countries and no one has ever reacted in an unruly manner towards me on learning I'm from Nigeria even as I'm the only African in the organisation (my office is in another city).

Who are we going to hand Nigeria over to? The same Nairaland boys that spend the entire day talking about women/sex? That's worrisome.

1. She isn’t chubby, she is fat.
2. She does nothing about it and that’s why the comments hurt. No matter how much I weigh, even if I do only 10 push-ups daily, no troll can make me feel suicidal.

While it's healthy to exercise, she does not owe it to anyone to do so. There's simply no justification for the bullying. It would be nice if you'd speak up against the bullying before pointing out the victim's shortcomings. Like they say, chase away the kite before blaming the mother hen for exposing its chicks.

The Nigerian constitution is crude. It needs an overhaul. So many limitations, ambiguities and loopholes. It's not uncommon for laws to have more than one interpretation and I understand the concept of exceptions in law but what we have in Nigeria is just vague. It's not detailed enough to explicitly exclude or disprove some interpretations or arguments thus increasing the subjectivity in the judiciary system to an unhealthy level. Heck, some cases don't even have provisions at all. We can't continue deceiving ourselves like this.

Okwyjesus:
God speaks to us in different ways.
He is simply pointing to Davido the nothingness of life and the need for him to surrender fully to Jesus.

He speaks to us in different ways but you understand what he's telling Devido as his interpreter? So he had to kill other people's children just to talk to the rich celeb? Must you guys try to score religious points with every event even something a sad as this? Nawa o.
