Nope, its all based on pretense

For example Millions of abortions take place in Nigeria yearly, But its the same people doing the abortion that screaming don't legalize Abortion.

.

People hate lies and liars yet pple lie.That millions of abortn are takg place does not mean pple want it.They do it because dy are pushed to d wall.Ask an african man or woman who has been involved in abortn if he'll like his daughter(even if married) to have and u will get an emphatic no.

How would you fight a bomb swallowing lunatic.

D truth is these: where there is unity an a will, they will always be a way . United will priduces creativity and innovatn needed for victory.

If read my other comments I keep saying this not a tribalistic or religious issues it is a matter that concerns us all. When this war started years back with hausa killing igbos burning motor parks and destroying their business other tribes folded hands cos it was igbos now the wild fire spreads out. If it was cotailed from the onset Nigeria wount be a terrorist country that is now.

Every tribe of Nigeria has felt these horror and no one will want more of it so I don't believe that letting these wild strikers free will in anyway solve the problem. It would be better or best to keep them where they belong, tight security.

I agree wt u.Dt has always been d problem of Nigeria.Tribalusm, lack of natnalism, arm chair observing, uncincernededness. All of this had got to stop. We must change and it is not too late to start.

some south westerners thinks this only affects d southern easterners, bear in mind that we r in ds 2geda... 1ce BH comes down 2 Anambra (dwn d map) d south as a whole is doomed. u had better start thinking of ways 2 stop them and stop hating

Nice one! Dts d spirit.

Well spoken! If u have cancer on one part of ur body or any kind of spreadable disease will u willing allow it spread just becos ur legs cannot scratch ur shoulder?
Answer then I will tell u wat I have to say.

Napolion hill told d story of a general who on arrivg through ship for combact wt an enemy army realised dy were out overwhelmingly ou tnumbered.Guese what he did.He ordered dt d ship in which dy came be burnt up. Theb he told his men.It is either he wins or we perish. Gues what? Dy won .

The problem of nigeria is dt there very few nigerians but a lot of igbos,yorubas, hausas etc.Normally if one part of a body suffers, d entire body is also affected in some degree. biology and bible attest to ds fact. and dt is a preservatn mechanism of d body.

In reality, it will be foolhardy for boko haram to try to bring d fight all d way to d south. Such an attempt will spell dr end . It is just a strategy to get other parts d nation to be psycgologically involved so dt we can collectively in unity eraducate bg. Remember, united we stand, divided we fall. Pls be a nationalist and not a tribalist.

refreshrate:
So technically your leaders in the north failed in their responsibilities, which brought about the boko haram thing, now that it is out of their control let them now spread it to other parts that pretty much understood their responsibilities?

By the grace of God almighty, i pray this day that all the problems from far and wide that had no connection with you shall be brought upon you as an individual. God will continue to cause you to experience calamities that you have no hand in on a regular basis. So your opinion of it being a good move and every one who knows you will also have cause to require collective interest and not be chair observers and they too will have a stake in your problems and also put an end to your menace.

Relax.Ds is a good move .Its for a good cause.It is a strategy. You know why I so love Zik. He was a nationalist. Unlike awolowo and saudana.He introduced nationalism into d movement for indepebence.His counterpath were all tribalists, sectarianist. I respect dt man. Be a nationalist and not a tribalist.

By d way.Thanks a lot for ur prayer.

YEAH I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU FEEL, IT MUST BE VERY FRUSTRATING, THE TRUTH IS VERY BITTER, OHANAEZE DOING IT,S OWN, BIAFRA ON IT,S OWN, NDIGBO TAKING A DIFFERENT STAND, WHAT A PEOPLE, I WILL CONTINUE TO HIT YOU WITH THE TRUTH, I HOPE YOU RECALL THAT YOUR VERY OWN AZIKIWE IN THE HEAT OF THE CIVIL WAR DISSOCIATED HIMSELF FROM OJUKWU BIAFRA WAR, YOU IGBOS WILL ALWAYS BE TOSSED AROUND AS LONG AS YOU DON'T SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE, IT,S TIME TO SPEAK WITH ONE VOICE.

How on earth shd u expect Azikiwe to be part of a decision to break up a nation whose 'birth' he spearheaded.

bushdoc9919:
While your point is fully taken.....the fact remains that a Boko infiltration attack on a ''poorly built Nigerian jail'' could lead to mass casualties...and serious security problems in the SE.

Which is why I understand the protester's fears.

That is the point!The fact dt boko haram can now potentially attack any part. of nigeria is.what will make other regions to be absolute in dr resolve and determinatn to strongly join forces and fully cooperate with other regions to put a complete end to the terrorism. It now no longer,'Let them continue killg themselves.

The truth is this: buhari shd be praised to high heavns for ds decisn. It shows he is a.real general who understands the psychology of wafare. The need for self -preservatn and survival has turned many near defeat to victory. Remember dt d other day he ordered dt boko haram combact hq be moved to maiduguri.Dt way d generals will now realize dt dy can be potentially attacked by bh.Dt way dy will see dt corruotion ,embezzlement and all such is a shot at one's own foot.Dt was another effectivd use of psycholigy in cimbactg d insurgence.


Friend there is psychiligy in warfare.It is not d size of a dog dt matters it is d size of d fight in dog.



Why has bh been so diffucult to eradicate.Ds guys know dy are fightg against a larger and more superior army.So dy are fughtg also for survuval and self preservatn. Forget about d suicude bombg. it just stragegy of using brain washed and indispensable indivuduals to presere those dt matter. Why didnt shekau suicide bomb.
D other time when d heat bcame umbearable because of support from cameroun and other neighbourg countries, dy had to call out to ISIS for help.


For as long as dse guys have more psychologucally investment in d war though dy may be few dy will always have d upper hand.



Wars are not always won by numbers and armunitions. sometimes dy are won by despetatn, determinatn and gallance.




By movg d prisoner to other parts he is strategically making d whole region become psychologically involved in d war. It is now no longer a northern Nigerian war. It is now a.Nigerian war.



There will ni longer be arm chair observg by other regns.Now every .one will put hans on deck to win d war.



Personally, I never had any faith in PMB. But wt these strategies strategy compellg others who hitherto have been observers to be participants I am startg to have faith in him.

In my own opinion. Moving the prisoners to another part of nigeria is good .It will make every part of d nation see d eradication of boko haram as one on requiring collective interest.Up till now other regions have been acting as.arm chair observers.I have had pple sayg unkind thgs like 'boko haram can keep on bombg d whole of d north for all i care:.They dont see d fight as being collective.They dont think they have a stake. Now dt pple know dt boko haram can be moved to prison in any part of nigeria dy will see d need for joint and collective will to put an end to d menace.

Download C++: The completer Reference, 4th Edition.

That is the easiest book in the world with with to learn C++.( my opinion)

It is pre- C++11, but good enough. Updating to C++11 will be a peace of cake after reading it.

princemillla:
This incident occurred befor my koro koro eyes. I was at fiiro decorating for the arrival of ex President Gej. On my way to purchase more fabrics at the safejo market. I saw a heavy bird falling from a live wire. Halas, it turned to an old woman. She stood upright, then later died and was taken away by the Nigeria police. Was the first experience tho! This is last year sha

Friend. I dont believe u are tellg d truth.

theAtheist101:
And would the bird stay alive?

Certainly not!

DONBROTHER1:
i know that birds can stand in an electrict wire without been shock but not bat.

I have held live lines countless times.For as long as stays on only one line it is safe. but once its head or feather touch another line at a differnt potential it will be electrocuted. it is d birds legs dt are insulated not every part of it body( if u have ever dressed a chicken u will understand what I mean).

greggles:
Yeah, even if the bird touches 2 live wires only, the PD would be about 315V so the bird would still be electrocuted. Its very possible the bird was a big one and somehow that happened, tha narrators didn't describe the size of bird or anything like that so the story will be in contention till a more plausible description is given

The next time u pass through a slummy area. Look at the nepa lines above. u will often see two of the lines ridg so close and almost touchg. Birds can get electriocuted on such lines: even a small bird. but like i said i dont believe 'transformstn" story.

erico2k2:
u cannot get electrocuted with no earthing

The purpose of earthg is to produce p.d. pls see my first post to see how it is possible.

WHAT HAS THIS ZOO REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA TURN TO?


THAT IS NO WITCH TACTICS YOU DAME DULL LAGOS PEOPLE.



ANALYZE THE GROUND AND THE WOMAN. HOW BIRD GO JUST FALL FROM UP TURN TO WOMAN NOW NOW MUD DON STAIN THE WOMAN.


BY THE WAY HIGH TENSION WIRE CAN'T ELECTROCUTE NO BIRDS BECAUSE THOSE BIRD ARE NOT GROUNDED.


USE YOUR BRAIN YOU DUMB PEOPLE

They can be electrocuted by low tension wire.See my 2nd to last post for explanatn.

DONBROTHER1:
1-They are acting some movies whereby tyring to convice people to belive them.

2-Birds can't be electrocute by an electric current that is true, but are u still doubting the one bat?

3-You have never seen a person electrocuted by an electric current that is y u are saying so.

4-U can quote me.

Birds can. Ask any NEPA operative that is involved in patrolling lines. Check my last post for explanatn. Their feet may be covered wt insulating matter, but not every other part of their body is.

greggles:
I don't really mean to argue but this is electrical engineering which I don't expect everyone to understand, if a bird gets electrocuted on a high tension then there's an unseen reason why it happened.

Athough i dont believe this story,but if a part of a bird touches the neutral line of a 4-wire(star connectn) system and another part touch either the red, yellow or blue line, the p.d. across d two body parts will be about 220.Electric current will flow. This scenario is however not pissible in a 3-wire (delta connectn) system.

omooba969:
The question is, 'Is he marrying the lady for sex or better still sexual gratification?' Come to think of it, what's the big deal about this virginity madness gan?

Will virginity bring food to the table?
Will virginity add funds to the bank account?
Will virginity guarantee a blissful & successful marriage?
Will virginity prevent a lady who's gonna cheat in marriage from doing so?
Is virginity a factor when it comes to good character?
Who cares if you are a virgin or not !

I believe marriage is for the couple to love, cherish & complement each other; not to mis-place your priority by focusing on some fuuccckn virginity.

Please ladies, there's no point hyping what's not a means to an end ok.

Nonsense !

Friend,dt a lady.was able to keep her virginity in ds age of immorality speaks volume about her character.

gimakon:
Your app is mainly based on use case system. What ever they do, the database is meant to be hidden so that it cannot be altered any way, any form. Now you are able to see what I have been saying yourself.

Whether desktop,database, network as you specified, that is FRONTEND, backend whatever happens doesn't concern the user, that's why I said you make your application sort of remote, for these reasons

. can be accessed from anywhere by the admin, hence there is a leak, he could fix it
. It would even save you cash transport, they call you, say what ever the problem is, once logged on to a server, it could be corrected
. SQL injection is impossible you design it, and have it deployed, only the developer knows where the db is, unauthorised entry is almost impossible unless you give the access to hackers yourself .

And some other reasons, ethics of Microsoft won't even support the "embedding " of database and it doesn't show a professional job, unless you are ready to suffer leaks and maybe go to jail later when they see how incompetent the job is ,they might feel u gauged their money.

Think about it .....

First, microsoft does encourage embedding. They wrote sql server compact and encourage pple to use it for their desktop apps and website.

mozilla firefoce use it. i also on sqlite website of facebook engineers reportg a bug meang face book use it.

Even if d datbase is discovered it will be secure because it uses aes to encrypt d entire database file and additionally the string content.

The administrator will be in d dark as much as any one else.

for d network use, d datbase is still remote. only d person who has access to server computer, supposedly d administrator, who has is so
somehow close to it.

For d internet use, the database is out of the reach of everone apart from me.


Users have a choice use it on the internet, if dy choose rather to use it on a network, then it is their
responsibility to secure dr server computer. Remember that their is licence agreement and i jave a good lawyer who prepares it.

if a person chooses to use it in desktop mode it is his responsibility to secure his app. it is now considered a personal app.

Concerning sql injection. Parameterized queries prevent that.

Apart from all this even if one discovers it . it has two level aes encrytion of the entire database and d string content.


But if u have any link on microsoft ethics dt forids pla share it wit me.

gimakon:
That's a long note.
One question, on each if these approaches, is the database gonna be seen?

The database will not be seen. It is to be hidden from all users. They just know intuitively that there is a database, but they can't( at least that is the intention) find it.

seunthomas:
Guy you too argue sha. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algorithm
Thus an algorithm can be an algebraic equation such as y = m + n—two arbitrary "input variables" m and n that produce an output y. But various authors' attempts to define the notion indicate that the word implies much more than this, something on the order of (for the addition example):

I guese this is what you are saying:

An "enumerably infinite set" is one whose elements can be put into one-to-one correspondence with the integers. Thus, Boolos and Jeffrey are saying that an algorithm implies instructions for a process that "creates" output integers from an arbitrary "input" integer or integers that, in theory, can be arbitrarily large. Thus an algorithm can be an algebraic equation such as y = m + n—two arbitrary "input variables" m and n that produce an output y.

But you should have also seen the succeeding statement:

But various authors' attempts to define the notion indicate that the word implies much more than this, something on the order of (for the addition example):

and the statement:

Precise instructions (in language understood by "the computer"[17] for a fast, efficient, "good"[18] process that specifies the "moves" of "the computer" (machine or human, equipped with the necessary internally contained information and capabilities)[19] to find, decode, and then process arbitrary input integers/symbols m and n, symbols + and = ... and "effectively"[20] produce, in a "reasonable" time,[21] output-integer y at a specified place and in a specified format.

In this age and time in computer science, an algorithm cannot be said to be an equation. I f you still don't see this then I have nothing more to say.

seunthomas:
Go and read the article. Also you just described one aspect of an algorithm. An algorithm in itself can also be solution to a problem as well as the way to solve it.

a process or set of rules to be followed in calculations or

other problem-solving operations

Post-Addition:
I skimmed through the article. I couldn't find any section that stated, suggested or implied that an aticle is an equation as you posited earlier above. You owe the op. an apology for calling his post crap.

That is an equation that would require an algorithm to solve such that the algorithm can be implemented in any programming language.

seunthomas:
Go and read the article. Also you just described one aspect of an algorithm. An algorithm in itself can also be solution to a problem as well as the way to solve it.

Ok. I will read the article. Yes, what you stated above is a correct description of an algorithm. But most certainly an algorithm cannot be an equation as you stated earlier above.

gimakon:
I gave him an option to use. He insisted he wants to make somethings extremely difficult for himself, so I see am say, maybe he wants to make his work hard. I decided to allow him

Ok. Let me give you more detailed explanation for my seeming unwise decision.

The app I am working on is a composite app that is all of a word processor, spreadsheet and drawing app. I started writing it in January last year and I am yet to finish. Users pick database values from menu items and data gets into database from interaction with dialogue boxes.

50% of the codes has to do interraction with database.

The vast majority of the user are expected to be people with little or no compute literacy,so designing the app in such a way that all they need do is buy and install is the objective. There is expected to be no need of installation of any other app or need to do any other setting( apart from selecting the use mode which could be desktop, network or internet and setting the server ip address , if the use mode is network).

I believe understanding ones market and factoring their level of competency and putting it into consideration during development is important to the success of an app in the market.If you say I am making my work more difficult, you are right. The making plan for the app excludes sending people to setup the app for the user or trainging them to use it. The marketing philosophy is similar to saying " Wash and wear". In this case "buy and install."

But the real truth is that I am actually making my work easier.

for every dll in the app I am expected to write something like:

if(use == Desktop)
{
}
else if(use == Network)
{
}
else if(use == Internet)
{
}

for now I am writind codes for the case
Use == Desktop

Once I am done I will start writing for the case use == to network and use eqaul to desktop.

Because some users will choose to use the app indefinitely on a standalone computer, there is need for a local database and since users are not expected to install additional app, the database must be embedded. ( Actually I had started using sql server compact nut discontinue coding for it for some reasons).

Now, as you probably know, differant database management system require different programming approach. The approach for sql server is differant from the appraoch for mysql sever which is also different from the approach for oracle.

Suppose I use your appraoch that means I will have to start writing (almost entirely)fresh codes for the network and internert use case( which incidentally require identical codes because the only different will be the server address.)

But if , as I plan I make the database for the Network case embedded, all do is spend possible a week to write a wrapper class for sqlite that will handle database access and interraction. This clause will behind the scene use client/server programs. It will simply send queries to the server and receive the result from the server or send data manipulation queries and associated data to server.

Having done that, all I need to do next is to copy the content of use == desktop case into the other two case and just tell the compiler to change the wrapper class name from the one for the desktop to the one for the network, then job over.

But I must admit that save for the the peculiarities of this app, your approach is actually easier.



Post-Addition:
If you know a class or way of using the same codes for different database system with the difference being only in the connection string, please let me know. ( I believe you know that I am talking C++ here.)

seunthomas:
You are still on this job. Haba by now you should have finished.

I have finished, I am presently debugging it.

I just simply modified the previously written implementation code.It is part of a very big app that has over 500 dlls. so the little change will require a little more debugging.

Oh is is because of my discussion with gimakon that you asked. I am just try to explain why I choose embedded data bays over non-embedded ones.

seunthomas:
Did you read the article? Because sounds like an algorithm is an equation(or process of solving a problem).

I did not read the article. I posted it for you. I know what an algorithm is.

Simply stated, an algorithm is a clearly stated step-by-step process of solving a problem.

An algorithm could be written inform of a flow chart or in statement form or such similar form, but definitely not in any programming language.

Programmer can then implement the algorithm in their programming language of choice.

Here is an algorithm for solving a quadratic equation using completing the square method:

1. Declare three variables A,B and C.
2.Get the value of the qaudratic constants a,b and c from the users into variables A,B and C respectively.
3......

and so on and so forth.

post-addition:
Algorithms can be written down any were. They are mostly written down in our mind from where we write the implementation.

gimakon:
We are saying the same thing
What you need is to make the backend database a remote one, when you talk about embedded, you do NOT embed a remote database, you use a connection string to create an up link to the server you are connecting to.
Hence you might have something like a virtual server like Microsoft server 2000 and deploy your mysql server into it then link to the server from your code.
When you finish creating your. Exe file, together with your mysql connector or even mssql database connector you can link to your database without problem.

Take it slow, I suggest you work on your skills very well before you pick on things like this.

But , Initially wanted to use the approach you stated above, but I had a feeling it will be less tedious to use a client/sever approach. It will be just a matter of tweaking the already existing code used for connecting to the local database.

It is obvious that u don't understand me. The app uses client/server programs to communicate with server versions of the app installed on a network server computer. So the server versions of the app can very well use embedded database since it communicate with its clients via client/server programs.

gimakon:
Then make it remote, let your application connect to the database remotely. It should use probably the same remote string to do such.

The app is such dt users can either use it on a standalone computer or on a local area nework or the internet. users can choose any preferred use mode at any time. for the internet use there is no security concern it is remote. d standalone computer use require an embedded datbase. it should such dt users can use it whether they have a network access or not.

gimakon:
You mean hackers? Hmm.. have you tried doing something like this
The only way someone can break in to your server is when you use things like sha1, mysql,or some simple encryption system to do something

I remember a project a friend from Russian federation did, he didn't use a simple encryption system, he used serpent encryption
That technique he also embedded into some 256 bit encryption standard system.
If I could still remember, he did it inside his code like void() whatever so he didn't have to do inside the database

What I'm saying is this, hence the database of sql lite may not be too secure per say and porous to vulnerable attacks from hackers why don't u switch to say mysql or oracle and learn how to apply a more serious technique of encryption in your code not in your database

Look up the code / methods on how to do this from youtube

Hope I helped

D problem is that mysl is not embedded. Using mysql means users must have mysql installed on their computer. That will defeat an important purpose. users are not even supposed ti know dt there is a database bcouse d app has it own file type extension.
