Show us problems you’ve solved with your “low level” c++

He said real programmers

I think he means programmers that code complex things like, embedded systems, games, servers, OS etc

Egypt's debt is crazy mehn and mostly foreign debt. What were they thinking?
They are lucky they also get huge support from Saudi Arabia.

Kenya also have no access to the capital market from this report.

This debt thing is just like a trap especially when revenues are not high.

The US will bail them out cos of the Suez canal

Shma2022:
I just checked your fertilizer plant, it's a mere $2.2B project, so relax. Its not worth that hype. Nairobi--- Mombasa expressway is $3B. With our paltry $114B economy, we are doing great stuff.
Dangote refinery is a pipe dream. It will never work. That is a loss vending entity. But don't get me wrong, I want it to work, that's my wish.

Dude, focus. We're not talking about the past. Don't be too over-defensive. The bone of contention is PROJECTS ONGOING and not what I have and what you don't. Don't always bring your childish antics into all spheres of serious discussions. And yes, $5.5B is worth that fertilizer plant and two light rails combined. ($2.2B + $1.2B + $ 1.2B =$4.6B)... From your list, 3 Nigerian projects have been swallowed by one Kenyan project.

I forgot your $470million Lagos light rail. We can build seven of them if we scrape off the $3B Nairobi Mombasa expressway.
So, ($2.2B + $1.2B + $ 1.2B +$0.4B =$5.1B)
That is 4 listed projects under one.

Is it you that will make the refinery not to work?

Peterpan007:
Nope a Nigerian tech company...

Ok
Hint, split the string into an array so it'll be easier to work on

GREATIGBOMAN:
Hehe


He first said to me I'll die by dangote truck anytime I go out.


Maybe you'll have to check the op's old comments.


He himself wishes death, evil, misfortune on anyone irrespective of who the person is and without the person doing anything to him.



It was surprising to me when I saw his post asking people to celebrate with him and also asking for advice and help.


If he wants to be a troll he should be a troll with his full chest..


It's not after u abuse people wish them misfortune and call them names... U then come in same section and you expect them to treat you well and welcome you with open mind...

Fair enough

airsaylongcome:
You will not understand why GreatIgboman is going hard on the OP. His misdemeanor and misyarnings here are legendary. He dey shoot first ask questions later. Only to find out that he is a rookie still learning the arts

Lol I understand, but I just think wishing death on someone is still too extreme

Peterpan007:
See the question I was asked

Is it a foriegn remote job interview

GeneralDae:
We started a long time ago. By the time we also start exporting electric buses and vehicles to African countries nearby, or we start exporting other manufactured equipments from Proforce, Nord, Innoson, and the likes, many would also ask: "When did we start manufacturing these things"?

I know about innoson and proforce military vehicles, but I don't know anything about aircrafts can you give me companies that manufacture tgem

I have my doubt of scrapped vessels and special purpose ships data - otherwise it clear Nigeria main exports are natural resources - that have least multiplier - and ability to lift people out of poverty.

Kenya is doing well in horticulture - with multiplier as good as manufacturing - IT enabled services (outsourcing), tourism - that have huge potentially to transform the economy. This should be the focus - the high value agriculture (avacados earn Mexico 12billion dollars), IT-enabled outsourcing system- exports as good as selling machine abroad- (digital economy with investment in fiber all over the country) - tourism - high value services - as traditional manufacturing is a mountain to climb for now

That is why Kenya has been pulling economic growth almost non stop for 20yrs - while Nigeria is struggling - 10yrs of recession and now even with Oil at it peak - it appears the anemic growth rate will continue.

When this kenya v Nigeria started - somewhere in 2014/2015 - Kenya economy was barely 40B - Nigeria was 500B. Now Kenya economy has climbed - this year could be 120B - Nigeria economy osciallate btw 400-500B for a decade - and if they devalue the Naira - it will drop to even 200B.

Nigeria economy need serious re-configuration - that ought to start with fixing education sector - otherwise I dont see much hope - with pre-mature urbanization (at 50 percent) - endemic poverty in slumpolis - and total collapse of basic infrastructure (electricity is now a miracle)

In the meantime kenya economy is transforming - and in a decade - will have caught up with Nigeria and South Africa - who are mark timming btw 350-500B - depending on USD. Both have had a lost decade.

When it comes to IT outsourcing, Nigeria is tops in Africa.

GeneralDae:
Nigeria's top ten exports 2021

1)Mineral fuels including oil: US$42.4 billion (89.1% of total exports)
2)Ships, boats: $1.4 billion (3%)
3)Fertilizers: $949.8 million (2%)
4)Cocoa: $628.8 million (1.3%)
5)Oil seeds: $326.2 million (0.7%)
6)Zinc: $258.8 million (0.5%)
7)Aluminum: $190.3 million (0.4%)
8 Aircraft, spacecraft: $143.7 million (0.3%)
9)Tobacco, manufactured substitutes: $112.8 million (0.2%)
10)Lead: $94.1 million (0.2%)

I'm curious, when did we start manufacturing special purpose ships, and Aircrafts?? For exports

It's just bound to happen

Inappropriate comment man

obaaderemi:
Kaduna is on steroids. I just wish Kaduna can lead the way in the North in terms of children's education. The north needs education.

They need birth control more than education, cos at the end of the day, you will find it hard to train 20 children than 4

rvp2018:
what are they producing outside natural resources n weapons.. Germany is an exporting behemoth ...with I bet export value greater than it's gdp..all using cheap Russian gas n oil.Sanctions no longer works because Russia is always on one...as they are always on agression to fix USSR borders that they feel took Russian territorial integrity so almost every two or three years they are attacking their neighbors and trying to seize more territory..like 10 percent of the earth isn't enough for them

That myth of economies not strong because they don't export manufactured goods needs to stop.
Russia has a huge population so obviously manufactured products already have demand in the country before they can export. That's why the sanctions didn't work. You can watch any Russia English speaking youtuber, talking about how Russian made products quickly replaced everything else

PROVERBZ:
Accomodations for dangote refinery which is at 97percent completions

Guys anytime I search dangote refinery or the lekki free zone
I see videos in Hindi explaining how to get jobs in Nigeria to Indians.

Hundreds and thousands more Indians are preparing to move to Lagos and this bothers me.
It's not because I'm racist or hate multi ethnic society no.
It's cuz it's really early in out success story, its the period where people make generational wealth and those people moving here now would put them on equal playing ground with the black people that have lived here during the hard times.
And when Nigeria does get better it would look like Kenya and south Africa where white people and Indians own most of the riches.

I'll rather they come later in search of greener pasture.

Indians really want to take our scarce high paying jobs
Though I'll not worry about them too much cos of the local content law. I think those looking for accommodation are the ones doing the manufacturing of the plant. The actual running of the plant will have at least 50 percent locals

China is not far more developed than Canada. Far bigger economy and far more industrialized? Yes.

China is far more industrialized than Canada despite having one of the most oppressive regimes in the world

rvp2018:
They were short of 1B dollars after selling 20% stake to NNPC for 2.5B dollars. They split into two bonds. One has been issued and was oversubscribed locally - I believe they raised maybe 500M dollars. They will probably float the other soon as 1st was oversubscried. It will get done early or late next year as there is goodwill from gov and private sector - and they have A++ credit rating - with Dangote willing to put his cements and other plants as collateral.

The project overrun is crazy. I dont know if it's Indians? but from 12 to 19B - dollars that is huge. And that is what Nigeria consumers will have to pay back - 20B dollars.

That cost hike and much of the delay was due to covid.

Also why do you make it seem like Dangote is eager to recoup his capital, a refinery doesn't work that way, the refinery will sell shares on the stock exchange for quick recovery of funds if necessary, at the end of the day it could take up to 10 years before Dangote gets his capital fully. But after that it would be easy profit for him so don't worry about Nigerians paying him back for now

obaaderemi:
What he has done is to turn the Rwandans to zombies who can not challenge his government on anything. Such a country can not progress. The only reason he has not turned Rwanda to a communist enclave is the fear of his friends in the West.

I disagree with you on this, take China for example, their communist party is the only party, they are also a suppressive regime but their country is far more developed than a democratic country like say Canada.
A suppressive regime isn't bad if the government knows what they're doing

Dangote refinery almost complete

.

GeneralDae:
These guys are not current. Kaduna in the north of Nigeria is insustrializing very fast.

I think they mean human resource development. That's why the south is far more developed than the north. An average northern will have more than 6 children, some even go as much as 15 without having the means to Train them.

Mkenya2019:
Why are you showing pic of the famous slow Apapa and TinCan?

It's funny how Kenyans know a lot about Nigerians, but we in turn know so little about them.
Only place I know in Kenya was Nairobi, then I started viewing this thread now I know Mombasa as well

rockfortdigital:
There are several plugins that does that.

I built the website on the client domain though.

I put the website on maintenance mode while I was building.

Cheers

Thanks for the reply.
How much did you charge for the website, also where do you find your clients, is it on nairaland?

iblawi:
Abeg, which attack helicopter will Nigerian army order? Nigerian airforce have confirmed AH1z and T-129 are coming to them.

Attack helicopter should be the most important assets in Nigerian Army Aviation inventory.

Nigerian military should start looking for technology transfer deals, not just buying like that.
Like the navy did with the Turkey OPV's.

Good morning sir, please I'm also a wordpress developer and I'll like to know how you transferred the website you built, to your clients domain

I haven't coded in react for a month now, but when I start, I'll just look at the docs, then everything will come back because I understood the BASICS

Lol, dude you need to be more humble in life, I used to see those your hateful comments and thought you're a pro or something.
Anyway use nodejs or use Chrome console

Just40:
Ghanaian chocolate manufacturer, Niche Cocoa has opened a manufacturing plant in USA. It also has another huge manufacturing plant in Germany
The cocoa processing company's headquarters is in Tema, Ghana.

The project is the largest African food and beverage investment in US history.

Misplaced priorities, too bad cos those billions if could have been invested in other African countries with cheap labour, it would have made the company more money and also it would have created more jobs on the continent, the US already has plenty of jobs

Kenyans are funny, they'll shame a country i.e Ghana for doing something that even their country does, just because they do it lesser.
I've never seen anything like that

Congrats

rvp2018:
A billion dollars. That is value-added you get from refining fuel.

You're also forgetting the logistics behind importing

rvp2018:
I am never hateful
First you are not meeting your OPEC quotas.
2ndly you will lose forex when some crude is diverted from export to Dangote.
Right now you're doing 1.3-1.5M bpd - if Dangote takes 650,000 - you will have to reduce export by half.

Now two scenarios
1) You increase oil production - meet OPEC and then have more for Dangote - then you will BENEFIT
2) You dont - you only benefit from value addition of refining crude - that about a billion dollars - which Dangote is keen to capture.

Prospect of increasing oil production are remote - you're dropping in year when oil is at 140 dollars per barrel - meaning you have big problems

You keep talking about us loosing Forex, while forgetting that we are loosing Forex already by importing refined oil
