CrimeRe: Police Withdraw Magu’s Security As Family Raises Alarm Over Safety by etrange: 7:01am On Jul 11, 2020
youthsinitiativ:
It should make them do the right thing by not doing the wrong thing of stealing what they are mandated to recover and keep in trust for everyone.

Abi na which kind logic you dey try a pin?
Yeah, but they'll still have enemies even while doing the right thing. The only way they would be confident kicking asses if they have the reassurance that the government would protect thier families even after the mandate has expired. The thought of having one's family at the mercy of these heartless fraudsters once there is a fall out with the government (corruption, frame-up or otherwise) could deter one from fully pursuing the criminals. Even the strongest of men would think about his family first.
CrimeRe: Police Withdraw Magu’s Security As Family Raises Alarm Over Safety by etrange: 4:57am On Jul 11, 2020
It's more or less a catch-22 situation. They have good reasons to withdraw his security guards yet abandoning the family of someone whose former position naturally gathered enemies like mangoes gather flies will only make some people scared of doing the right thing when place in such sensitive positions. They'd say the Nigerian government wouldn't protect them when it backfires.

Everybody wants to blog, no one wants to calm down and learn the principles. You put up a caption and yet no part of your long textual content reflects the caption.

Lol... Would you still blame pretty ladies who believe every man is only interested in thier physical appearance? I guess it's human nature. Even me, when I bought my first iPhone, every body became a suspect.

At the end, we shouldn't let whatever we have turn into a source of anxiety. To have peace of mind, trust your partner till they prove not to be trustworthy.

Because he was dancing European traditional dance?
Regardless of the reason, the joyful thing is that a kid is getting scholarship. The other day, a boy who sang beautifully well in Igbo got a similar accolade. So this not about slavery but appreciating pure talents. Besides, frowning at other people's culture will only make yours stagnant. Even the US is known for culture appropriation.

Point is, let's just be happy for him. We can talk about colonization later.

Cheers!

ProgrammingRe: What Should I Learn For Backend PHP Or Node.js by etrange: 1:03pm On Jul 08, 2020
hartoyebi38:
You mean should choose PHP. Is it necessary to learn more than one Backend language?

Thanks
@bolded, I only gave you my opinion. You can hear from others and then make an informed decision.

As for your question, you can achieve virtually anything you want on the web with PHP but knowledge, they say, is power and versatility is key. After learning one back-end language, I'm 99% sure you'll find yourself learning another, that's how it always goes. For now, you're motivated by the thoughts of being a developer but it won't be long before you start being more labour-market conscious and employability becomes a goal. The more versatile you get, the more employable you are. Even as a self employed person, it's always good to have choices as some languages might be more suited for some projects.
ProgrammingRe: What Should I Learn For Backend PHP Or Node.js by etrange: 12:33pm On Jul 08, 2020
I would have said Python but that's out of the question. Lol

This could be subjective. Node.JS has so many advantages but I'd go with the good old PHP primarily because the way it's designed to work with MySQL and its variants. Node.JS may gain more traction as we progress but presently, PHP is still a more deep rooted as a backend technology. It powers most popular extensible web templates, it has more existing boilerplate codes you can easily pick from the internet, it has a larger community so help is more readily available, it has more documentations out there and, most importantly, it has more vacancies in the market (judging by the Canadian jobboards).
FamilyRe: Are Illegimate Child Considered Legitimate Even After The Parents Latter Married by etrange: 12:08pm On Jul 08, 2020
Dtruthspeaker:
This is the enlightenment and the Law, Everything that is Good, Lasts Eternally or is supposed to last eternally.

So also Good Traditions Last Forever but there are also Bad Practices among the people and in Nigeria, those who suffer from these evil practices do not often properly resist them but they even rather submit themselves to it, then they come to complain about it everywhere and even disturb us with it, but they never do anything about it.
Metathesiophobia (the fear of change) is real. Besides, nobody wants to challenge the norm so as not to be labelled abnormal. The desire for social acceptance is inherent in our nature and we would do anything to not be social misfits thus bending to the society even against our own will. Only a few can afford to be divergent. They are the "abnormal" ones that bring about change.

coputa:
Yes,there are written and oral laws from different cultures. For example,the ibo culture does not recognise a child born out of wedlock,because such child does not share in the fathers estate
Lol @estate. I assume you you meant property in general.

Still the same story. The inheritance system you described, just like the labelling/tagging itself, is for people stuck in the archaic ways of life. Today, anybody (even strangers) can inherit anything from anyone provided a will is written. Even the Igbo traditions can't stand in the way of that. Gone are the days when kinsmen gather to distribute a dead person's wealth however they want (except the dead himself wasn't educated enough to know he needed a will or even rich enough to get a lawyer).

Traditions are good but they should be sustainable and progressive. Otherwise, it becomes a clog in the wheel.

Sorry, bro. I just thought of it, you're just learning HTML/CSS, my question was a bit overzealous. I'll suggest you ignore that for now and master the one you're learning. When you get to that stage, you'll decide the stacks you prefer to work with.

SqueezedPant:
thanks for the word bro
I think it's JavaScript people learn after HTML and CSS so that's what I plan on doing
Sure. I actually meant the server-side language you'd learn after you're done with client side scripting. Or do you intend to still implement your backend with Javascript using Node.Js?
ProgrammingRe: After One Week Of Learning HTML And Css by etrange: 5:24pm On Jul 07, 2020
Congrats. I wish you the best!

When I did my first HTML page (more than a decade ago), I showed my dad and he asked "what am I supposed to see?". He didn't mean to hurt me, he actually didn't know the coloured box (a styled div tag) was my whole work. I took a deep breath and promised to make him proud.

I've made it a duty to encourage people regardless how much/little thier progress is.

What server language do you intend to learn afterwards?

bukatyne:
I am not disputing their right to inherit which only matters if the parent died without a will.

And it is good news that children born outside wedlock (illegitimate) would be able to inherit from their parents (like you said, they did not choose the circumstances of their birth and should not be punished for it.).

Unfortunately, the child still bears the illegitimate tag for the deed of his/her parents.

Illegitimate parents would have sounded better.
@ bolded: Nobody was born with a tag. The tag is whatever you and I put on them. And the person you quoted is saying we should stop these tagging. If you agree with me that nobody deserves to be discriminated based on circumstances surrounding their birth, then you must also agree the tagging should be done away with. It simply doesn't make sense.

@OP: Asking if a child should be "legitimate" after the parents eventually get married is ridiculous. People who answer no are even funnier. The question is, who changes the status? Where is it changed? Is there a paper work?

Let's collectively say no to social discrimination! smiley

Dude, you're so bitter. Why hate people just because they have what you can't achieve? How can the thousands of Nigerians schooling abroad all be children of politicians? How many politicians do we have in Nigeria and how many children do they have? A lot of people work hard everyday to give their kids sound education. Some people here are even self sponsored and work thier asses off just to sustain themselves.

If you had the opportunity/resources, I'm sure you'd have been here too. So why hating those who were privileged to get here? Nawa o

CelebritiesRe: Genevieve Is Overrated,mercy Johnson Is More Talented Than She Is -gimba Kakanda by etrange: 3:26am On Jul 06, 2020
Same old fruitless discussion.

Someone will be in the industry toiling and then years later when newer people emerge, the person gets labelled as overrated, nawa o. It's possible Mercy is a better actress but you don't need to pull down one to appreciate the other. Genevieve is also a great actress and there's no doubt she has achieved more heights than most of her contemporaries. You're allowed to have your prefered artists but saying Genevieve is overrated is far reaching.

I love Mercy cause she's far more energetic but I think Genevieve is less dramatic and thus brings her characters closer to reality. This is subjective though.

Meanwhile, this may come as a surprise but I think one of the best role interpreters Nollywood has ever had is Tonto Dike. That's one versatile actress I miss so much!

ProgrammingRe: Programming: Video Or PDF Tutorials, Which Is Best? by etrange: 2:43am On Jul 06, 2020
In my opinion, there's no such thing as the best in this scenario. It's not even about programming cause, regardless of what is being studied, the choice would always depend on individual factors. Given the fact that none of these approaches gives you the chance to ask questions, it simply burns down to your brain's working principles.

Some learn more when they listen to someone teach and demonstrated while some prefer to read. Books could have more details but most times, a beginner doesn't need those overwhelming details. At the end, it burns down to you. So instead of asking such highly subjective questions, why not just try both and figure out what works for you?
RomanceRe: They Met On Twitter, Now They Are Getting Married by etrange: 1:17am On Jul 06, 2020
StUriah:
Iyawo twitter, na twitter she go follow go. Same applied to twitter husband.

The temptation to return to twitter to search for better lover during crisis in marriage will be so intense because of the faulty foundation.

Yoruba would say 'Eni ti a mo de ile la a fe, bi eniyan ba fe omo ni iju yio se oko ebora'.

Translation: One only married from a known and reputable background, if per adventure one married from a totally strange quarters one is bound to become husband to a demon.
Nawa o. We just like to criticise. Please, what's the logic here?

The ones you meet in schools, offices, etc. aren't on Twitter? Or because your paths just didn't cross on Twitter, they are automatically better? So if this guy had met this same lady somewhere off twitter, they would have better couples in your eyes despite the fact that they both would still have Twitter accounts?

Dude, people could meet anywhere and those who will cheat will cheat regardless of where they met.
