You are looking for handsome rich guyhuh See characteristics. Dey there, your bobby go soon touch your belle.
You guys just like to insult strangers on NL. There's no need to insult her. Guys come here everyday creating such threads and stating the kind of women they want (tall, fair working class, God fearing, etc.). Let her try her luck. Y'all are the ones saying ladies should learn to make moves too and here's someone making moves. It's possible she said "rich" cause she's very comfortable herself and wants someone of similar status or even better off.

Oh sorry if you feel I am cherry picking. I have no intentions of that. Either ways I still go with my analogy. A computing scientist job isn’t was never to program. Instead his job is how to formulate ideas and techniques for easier and cheaper manipulation of data. This programmer and computing scientist comparison is annoying I swear.
Where did I mention or compared computing science with anything? Nobody ever mentioned anything like "computing scientist" or remotely compared that to "programming" till you brought it up yourself and made it the base of your submissions. It has been clarified over and over again what computing meant in my context but you keep going around that for reasons best known to you.

My point to you is that comparing cybersecurity and "programming" and calling one a big cat is vague. Programming is a very general word and it cuts across different areas including cyber security itself. It doesn't make any logical sense to use the generic word "programming" in this scenario. Some cyber security guys also write programs for things like penetration testing, vulnerability assessment, etc. so to a point, they are programming too. Database developers write programs too (routines). Animation experts write programs. It is like comparing Data Science or Machine Learning with "programming" knowing fully well that in one way or the other, these fields have programming as a sub component. If you want to make such comparison, you have to be specific about the type of programming you mean. That's the only time it will make sense.

Good luck with your career, bro.

All this epistle because you were called out for your ambiguous word when you can easily and simply state the religion of the terrorists involved in the kidnap.
Oga, that is cowardice.
If these guys were Christians, and someone masks it as "religion", I will call them out.
If they were Hindu, the same, I will call them out. Same with Buddism and others.
I love exactness and not ambiguity.
It is religion, oga. Islam is killing people who don't believe in thier god. Christians are preaching that Jesus is the only way thus implying others will go to hell. At the end, they all share the same intolerance. Religion is man made. All of them. All.

Hehehehehe... This is completely diversionary, my dear friend.
We are talking about a group that has, in recent and contemporary times, are responsible for the towering insecurity, IDP refugee crisis and the wanton poverty in Northern Nigeria. Thankfully, they proudly own their religion each time the release a video or audio content. Hence nothing is ambigious.
It is of course dishonest for you to refuse to clearly acknowledge this, looping them with others. Of course you know this anyway, as you seem smart, but smartness and cowardice are two different things.
I have no reason to defend any religion and I'm not making any exception regardless of much you try to cajole me into it. Every religion has reasons to believe others should be discontinued while it stays. I'll not be different from them if I start picking on one while letting others off the hook. You waved aside my submission on the grounds that it was in the past but you failed to realise that the entire peak of Amadioha's era was in the past and no concrete reference can be made about it in recent times. All those atrocities would have continued if not for the intervention of outsiders. Fact is, regardless of when Amadioha had the spotlight, the truth remains that it wasn't any different from other intolerant and ritualistic religions with no regards to freedom of choice. You think it's brave to call out Islam but coward to call all religions including Islam; very smart.

Ogun and Amadioha worshippers do not kidnap people and shoot them on video. Why do you loop them together with the Khalifa soldiers?
Dont be a coward and call the "religion" by name. Nobody will beat you.
Don't get so low with words, dear friend. Amadioha was there when twins were killed cause they were thought to be evil. Amadioha was there when sickle cell babies were termed Ogbanje and the subsequent ones given marks. He saw and commissioned people as osu. Nothing makes any religion better than the other. They are ritualistic and intolerant.

Compute means to use computer. Haba why na?
Compute in computer science means to calculate, it doesn’t have to be with any machine. Machine gives us speed and accuracy and reduce fatigue. Since you are a computing scientist. You know our job is to use a computer(I mean computer like e.g Turing machine) to solve problems of data. This literally doesn’t mean we have to use the physical, it means we should invent the method it can be used in a computer. For example Numerical analysis is a field of computing where computing scientist tries to solve our analytic mathematics using iterative or mechanical formulas so that machine could solve it just like us. E.g calculus
Are we really doing this? Why are you deviating from the message? Computing could mean a lot things depending on the context and I have told you the plain context of which I employed the word (see below). I was not talking about numerical computation. That was not even the gist of my message. The idea was to call your attention to the fact that the small cat/big cat analogy between cyber security and programming is not quite right. If you don't agree with me, I'd be willing to shed more light, if you do, say so and we would move on.

This kind of miscellaneous word picking you're doing is for undergraduates. It's not my thing.

What if the phone was switched off? We're the ones assuming it rang and she didn't pick. It was never said in the video. So what if it never even rang? Like I said, a lot of things could have made the call not to go through. And it is not uncommon. You're the one justifying the man here by all means. He should have done what was due on his own side. When you call a bereaved person and they don't pick or the phone is switched off, you drop a message. That has always been the norm.

Your analogy about cats is wrong. Programming is the crux of everything computing.

How can you say this? How can the crux of computing science hover around programming, na wa o. Please I need you to go understand who a computing scientist is. You don’t really know I guess. Such a wrong guess
Bro, I suggest you take my message about the over generalised comparison between programming and cyber security and stop cherry picking. I didn't say Computer Science or Computing Science. I said computing. Two very different expressions. Computing as a word here is not a field of study. It is just an English word that simply means the use or operation of computers and yes, programming is at the crux of it. I had my BSc in Computer Science, my first MSc in Information Technology and presently doing my second MSc in Computer Science and I've been practicing for more than a decade both in and outside Nigeria, if you really think I don't know what Computer Science is, it's fine. I just thought I should correct an impression on someone supposedly younger in the profession.

Enjoy.

I know you're trying to avoid a trend of combining religions as they do at the federal level and you fear that other parties might copy it and make it an integral part of Edo election but creating such threads and calling attention to the religion of the prospective deputy governor would only have a counter effect. If you ignore it, they might be no such thing as mandatory Christian/Muslim slots. This one would end up as an inconsequential eventuality. But if you keep flagging it like this, people would start debating on it and it could end up being institutionalized.

Comparing a computing scientist to a mere programmer is like comparing a house cat to a wild cat. Though they have similarities yet they have wide differences.
Sorry, I don't know what you guys were discussing, I just saw this post under "recent posts" and I felt I should correct this. There's nothing like a "mere programmer" unless there is a particular type of programming you are referring to. Your analogy about cats is wrong. Programming is the crux of everything computing.

Regardless of the field of IT, provided a software or firmware is used, a programmer was involved. Cybersecurity makes use of rules, principles, firmware and software written by a programmer somewhere. Machine learning is about weights, activation functions and the subsequent regressions calculus; all these remain mathematics until a programmer codes them. Same with data science. So when you think of a programmer, don't just think of web developers alone. I personally have not developed anything web or mobile for more than 6 years now and I'm still a programmer. The average salary of certain types of programmers here in North America is higher than that of the cyber security expert. You can check that on any popular jobboard like Neuvoo, Glassdoor or Indeed (note: to get the best result, be specific with the type of programmer).

Thanks for reading. Bye!

Straight boys seek straight girls. That's nature. Don't let people with terrible relationship experiences or people from broken homes tell you women are apes. Let them talk for their family members. Don't shame people into buying into your own lifestyle. I don't know why people in that part of the world can't live and let live.

Thanks alot boss for your contribution. It most likely a baby squirrel. I just searched and saw very similar photos
That's great! Wish I was the one that found it.

Are you going to keep it? You can browse how to take care of it, there are a lot of videos on YouTube. It will grow to be a lovely skittish fury entertainer. Squirrels are naturally adorable and home grown ones could get very attached to their owners if treated well. I spend most of my evenings watching them. Lol

Looks similar but It has little white stripes on its tail
Yes. The colour of squirrels differ base on the location/sub-family. The one in your picture looks like African Bush Squirrel. I used to see the adult ones when I was in Nigeria and I noticed that the colour is slightly different from the ones here in North America.

Going by the fury tail, I strongly believe it is a baby squirrel but I could be wrong though.

Don't use family member narrative please.
This is official, sentiment apart.
The first due required of them in state protocols is to inform the state governmentor national Government as the case may be. They have failed in that respect.
Secondly, the state government still went ahead to establish contact to the family through the State Deputy Governor, she claimed that she does not pick strange numbers.
Third, the state delegations led by Deputy Governor visited immediately she returned back to the state.
Meanwhile, state apparatus have been deployed to sing praises of her husband including he didn't deserve.
The problem is about Agodi GRA property, she cannot handtwist the state government.
Who is telling you that state government is not even contacting her? We are only examine her narrative which was ill-concieved.
She and the family members have been begging State government for Agodi GRA property since Thursday, using her husband body as a bait.
All this is just to excuse someone who didn't act according to common sense and norms. Now, according to the discussion, there's no proof the man even called. We are the ones assuming the phone rang but she didn't pick. The man didn't say that. The phone could have been switched off or maybe he was even lying. These doubts could have been avoided by a simple act, that's my point. Yes, she might have had her own issues but if, despite all her shortcomings, the state government really wanted to establish contact with her, that her phone didn't ring or that she didn't pick shouldn't be an excuse. And that's what she was trying to tell them. Her husband wasn't just anybody. He was the immediate past leader of the state who led for 8 years. If they don't want to reach out cause of grudges, fine. But let them not pretend about it. 'm not saying they don't have underground issues but they gave her valid reasons to burst out. That's my point.

When is it too late to pay commiserating visit? After just four days, or two days or one day?
Let's not twist it. She didn't say the visit was too late. She said the man (whom she only used as an example) didn't reach out earlier. She expected some people to have reached out even before she returned. So if she didn't return till next month, he'd waiting till she comes back to express condolences? I don't know why we're galvanizing this. If I hear someone I know lost a family member, I'd scream and pick up my phone. If I can't do that at the moment, I'd do whenever I'm less busy. If the phone is off or the person doesn't pick, I'd send an sms. These little things go a very long way to show to what extent we hopd people. I wouldn't wait till I can visit.

She does not need to read the text message later again, the man was there with him just four days after the death of his husband.
The woman just came into the state this morning, if not, the state delegations would have come earlier.
She chose the death of her husband to pick more enemies.
Death you are talking about. All their businesses are opened, if today when the husband was being buried.
Of course, she doesn't have to read later again cause the man never sent anyways. It's not about when she reads it but about when and if it was sent. For all we know, it's possible the man didn't even call. If the man had sent an sms, she wouldn't have had any logical reason to burst out like this and there wouldn't be rooms for doubt. It's better to have clearly identified enemies than those that pretend to care.
