Lol..


When the time comes, y'all will be surprised.

Who in the PDP camp can contest against PMB and win?

It's good to dream, just don't be delusional..

Had it been it's another party now, one would have taken them serious. PDP that is full of thieves..

and APC is full of saints and philanthropists?

Hallo Pals: I lost my Nokia Lumia and as such I want to buy another phone.......... preferably Gionee; Tecno or Infinix. I don't really know about Itel n Lenovo, whether they are good and their parts are readily found in Nigeria.

I need a smartphone that has a good battery life; sharp camera quality; fast charging; good design; gr8 internet experience; strong and durable etc.

Kindly suggest any smartphone that I can get with the price range N18,000 - N23,000. Tnx.

I don't know about phones that much, but for that price range, I won't think of tecno

In some quarters, guys will say you do not woo a girl in this current time.

And certainly, events have shown that this true.

I was busy professing love, speaking how much I want this girl and want her to be mine BUT all I get was rejection, or indifference.

After while I switch to flirting mode and all seem well with her.

Another girl whom I kinda have a respect for have been acting same way as well. She wouldn't want to admit outrightly or accept when the question is ask. She would prefer I do not even ask her to date me but to just flow along.

Mind you, if I choose this route, I can easily bolt out--after all, "we were not dating" or "I never asked you out"

Compared to case whereby the relationship is defined from the onset.

So I ask: Do modern day Nigerian lady prefer not to wooed? Do they prefer undefined relationship to a defined one, a case that seem like flirting?

i will say yes and no. it is not only guys that have phobia for commitment too, girls too have it. a girl that is serious and wants u will not want to flow and assume, she will prefer d relationship to be defined so that she can mark her territory. but a girl who doesn't want you per say but maybe wants something you have to offer wont want the relationship to be defined, she is at d door, she can go on or out without feeling guilty, plus she is free to see other guys too.
It now depend on you to chose what you want, wooing works, maybe you are yet to meet the right girl.

Bless you ma. a hundred likes for you.


i had a similar experience in lekki 2 months back....i was driving and one guy ahead of me was slowing so much that i knew sometin was wrong. i overtook him and noticed he was on the phone....then he sped to stop me from over taking him....then i chilled for him to pass. thats wen one lady from the back who saw it all also drove recklessly to stop me from gettin behind the guy...


and thus she hit my car...next tin she came down and was dragging my key with me,...den started crying...twas like film to me ooo...


next tin police came...i told dem wat happened...next tin was like...shebi she is a woman...you must apologise...

i was like wtf?

so being a woman means u re always correct?


women want equal opportunities yet hide under feminism to excuse poor behaviour...

n that is so sad. that's d reason I do not call myself a feminist. it is well with us women.

lol, this is hilarious. but on a more serious note, their is a blend of arithmetic in English language, esp the grammar aspect.

n i used to love this woman o. you insulted a man, he made derogatory remarks in his reaction n ur crying wolf. one good or bad turn deserves another. am a woman but I think women should stop using feminism as a cover up after misbehaving, it's an insult on the whole concept and movement

If you are running Propellerads on your blog or site and you are wondering why other bloggers earn more while you can't even reach $1 per day. Today i decide to tell how i earn more than $5 per day from Propellerads.

When i started using this ads network in my blog, i start using banner ads and pop under only, then after a couple of week a notice that my earning is very low, i can't even reach $0.5 daily so i remove both the banner ads and pop under ads so that i can test them one by one to see which one will increase my earning, unfortunately none of them works.

After checking my google analytics i notice that 75% of my blog traffics are mobile viewers, so to earn more with propellerads i have to target mobile viewers, so i have to look for mobile ads.

Here is what i did and you should do

Go to my Propeller dashboard and navigate to site to create new ads channel
https://dropbox.com/s/90ue2wcwpf340e6/ad.jpg?dl=0
Then i click on Add New Channel

Then i scroll to Mobile Advertising and i select Dialog Ads/Push Up
https://dropbox.com/s/fhjrozgw7xz0wul/ad1.jpg?dl=0
Then click Next to create the ads code and place it in your blog or site.

Finally Propellerads recently introduced a direct ad which gives you a direct link you can send traffic to either from Facebook, Twitter from any so far it's not Bot

You can also join Propellerads herehttp://www.propellerads.com/?rfd=kv7

I registered with propeller ad last weekend but couldn't wrap my head around how to make it work on my site, especially the site verification part, can you pls explain how it works?

I know this is not related to this thread, but can anyone please help me out on how to make ads visible on my blog? I tried adquet n alternative ad, space just blank after uploading the codes, dunno what I am doing wrong.
or can the template I am using be the cause?

Dfinex:
it's easier said than done (for all those saying marry the one that loves me)...... all we can ask the good Lord is for him to give us a partner with whom the feelings will be mutual

that's just the only thing that makes sense, never settle for one of d two options. marry someone you don't love but loves u is as bad as the other way round.

DavidTheGeek:
Hehehe my front row student you're back. Oya read previous posts and get to work. Ask questions if you need help.

kinda not easy again ni. but will try n start from the previous lesson.

so it happens that I was outta mb for some days and now I feel lost. so sad

I know Sahara reporters are jokers, but APC too look so divided, though I will rather believe they are playing a game of wit, that's why I pity their supporters.

refiner:
Good morning and merry Sunday friends...

I don't seem to get a satisfactory answer to these...and I think here might be in a better position to give me the answers I crave for...

in my church,*name undisclosed*the pastor uses a phone to read bible....but I wish to ask if it's morally right for a pastor to use a phone to read bible while preaching...

it maybe ignored if it was being used by a member,but we are talking about a pastor here,who stands by the pulpit to preach the word of God...but instead of the bible,he uses a phone...

I'll say it depends on the congregation, their level of exposure. in a local congregation, it may look wrong, people will just be looking at him like 'which kind pastor be this?' to them, its a big deal, but some congregation won't even notice a iPad, tablet or phone In the hand of the pastor, that's what Apostle Paul was talking about when he said 'if eating meat will make m brother sin, I will rather not eat meat.

DavidTheGeek:
Good.

/> is a closing tag.
< is an opening tag.
> i'll call this tag "suspension tag"

For better understanding i'll give examples.
<TextView ....... this means you've started writing codes for textview.

When you open a fridge to take water, you should close it when done abi no be so? That's what /> does. It means you've finished writing the code for TextView.

> is used on a Parent to close and accomodate its children. A viewgroup is a parent, while view objects are its children. Example...

<LinearLayout ...... i'm done writing the codes inside here. Close me>
Add children here.
</LinearLayout>

thanks op. *grab jotter n pen* lol

DavidTheGeek:
That means you wrote a wrong color code. (Most likely you didn't add # before ff0000)

Write "#ff0000" after ="

corrected now. the prob was that I didn't modify d \> and >. guess we need to learn what those symbols mean. .
thanks op. now I can go to bed

LETS CONTINUE.... Android - User Interface (UI) Controls

A View is an object that draws something on the screen that the user can interact with and a ViewGroup is an object that holds other View (and ViewGroup) objects in order to define the layout of the user interface. You define your layout in an XML file which offers a human-readable structure for the layout

In the main.xml file that was created on aide, ViewGroup is:
<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="fill_parent"
android:layout_height="fill_parent"
android:orientation="vertical" >
</LinearLayout>

LinearLayout is a view group that aligns all children (view objects eg TextView) in a single direction, vertically or horizontally.

While VIEW object is:
<TextView android:id="@+id/text"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="I am a TextView" />

TextView is for showing text.

****************************************

There are a number of UI controls (View objects) provided by Android that allow you to build the graphical user interface for your app.
We have TextView, EditText, Button, ImageView etc.

In this tutorial, we'll be working with TextView & Button.

***************************************

TextView
This control is used to display text to the user.

Button
A button can be pressed, or clicked, to perform an action.

******************

A view object may have a unique ID assigned to it which will identify the View object uniquely within the View Group.
The syntax for an ID, inside an XML tag is − android:id="@+id/text_id". (Bolded in TextView code above)

LETS GET TO WORK...
In this tutorial, we'll buid a simple a app that shows a Text and a Button. When the button is clicked, a toast message would show on the screen.

EDIT MAIN.XML.... ADD BUTTON
By defult, there's a TextView already, simply add betton code uder... like this...

<LinearLayout xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="match_parent"
android:gravity="center">

<TextView
android:text="@string/hello_world"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content" />

<Button
android:id="@+id/click_button"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Click Me" />

</LinearLayout>

Check image below to see how your main.xml file should look now....

Let's add a background color...
Add this android:background="#ffffff" code to in <LinearLayout........

Also lets add color to our text....

Add this android:textColor="#ff0000" code to in <TextView........

Click menu and select Run.
Install app.

App background should be white. Text should be red and a button should be visible now.

Let me know if you got it right, so i'll continue.

dunno what I am doing wrong, see my main XML.
color thing not working.

couldn't add image yet. but on the main XML, the codes didn't change to red color after inputting = sign.

DavidTheGeek:
I'm having issues attaching image.... My data is exhausted. I'm using Free Basics.

ehaya. n I just wanted to ask for images cause it's a bit hard figuring this out

DavidTheGeek:
Whatsapp would be faster since i can explain step by step with an screenshots.

For referencing you guys could use Whatsapp starred message feature.

so on point, am in. when are we starting? but we need to keep the thread going so that others coming after will be a partaker, like I just stumbled on this thread this morning.

DavidTheGeek:
Before we continue, i'm thinking we should move this thread to a Whatsapp group. It'll be much easier to post and view screenshots (and maybe videos). Also i'll be giving you guys assignment once we get to real work.

What do you guys think?

if we will get more and faster updates on WhatsApp, then am in, though here is cool for better referencing but WhatsApp is easier.

I hardly expect sane and rational argument from ignorant and unintelligent people...

lol. maybe some 'ignorant and unintelligent' folks have learned to use discretion, you don't argue with a blind about shades of colors

aresssa:
I don't see where the President referenced anything about the worthless, disgraced, corrupt and incompetent PDP lately. The writer said the president gives an impression that the PDP achieved absolutely nothing in their 16-year rule and In fact, he sometimes infers that PDP destroyed Nigeria and he cannot perform a miracle in one year to rebuild the country, I just wonder why the same writer failed to articulate exactly what the PDP achieved in 16 years.


1. Is it stable electricity after stealing $20 billion power funds that left us in darkness?

2. Is it the wonderful roads, bridges, quality schools, good hospitals and so on they left behind?

3. Is it the wonderful refineries they destroyed and when they even refused to build new ones to prevent fuel scarcity?

4. Is it how they refused to invest the largest stream of revenue in the history of Nigeria to ease the eventual pains of low fuel prices that was bound to manifest eventually like we are experiencing today?

5. Is it using our money to or how they turned our public institutions like the NNPC into election financiers?


6. Is it how they looted and hared our money, bought mansions jets, cars and so on.


7. Are not even waking up daily to sad news about how they looted this and that?



The writer would love for us to forget that the PDP did not rule for 16 years and the horrible mess they left behind should not be part of our memory of history and we are in this situation by accident.

Unfortunately for the goofy writer, we know exactly how we got here and we won't forget or stop letting Nigerians know the evil mess they left behind.


What a waste of time and internet bandwidth..

your zombiesm is so chronic too. doh

God bless this OP, I remember I made this point to someone not long. most youth are ignorant of history, or say they are just plain stupid. I am not a fan of OBJ, but the old guy knew what governance was about, he knew what it meant to transform a bad economy n improve the lives of the people. APC only prepared for election, nothing more.
