Empty? How na?

Nah. They will not buy nairaland off. Instead if they get serious about Nigeria their best approach will be to come for seun himself.

In one sentence:

THE LOVE OF THE FATHER.

I don't get the reason for this thread.

It is a simple truth. The same way you can say Jesus is in heaven and not on earth. Remember Jesus said He will have to go to heaven, but He was not going to leave them comfortless. He was going to "send" them another comforter.

Yes I understand the Holy spirit is a spirit and since He is God He is omnipresent, so why the talk about Him not being in heaven. But those where the words of Jesus I will send. When something is sent it means there is a change in location,

He had a relapse of Cancer. That has been the reason for the delay. I must have read somewhere that they are planning on dropping his character for the season 2.
Nice season, just too much blood and sexuality. But nice watch nonetheless (season 1 of course)

^^^^ Disappointed.

Because You are an exception? rite.

It this a verified research?.

I know it is an old thread but it contains vital information. The first post is that of seun giving a site a head up (whogobuy.com) and this must be about the same time nairaland was also gaining ground. Many years on, Nairaland is a big boy, whogobuy never really took off.

It is the tale of startups in Nigeria and it makes me ask again and again, How is nairaland an exception?

Thanks people for the answer.
I found a good one on google fusion table. The only problem is that the data is only complete (up to date) for lagos.

Cactus:
Is this what you need?

You can use a scraping tool to extract. Have to loop through the dropdown menus. I think you should be able to figure it out. I have thought about extracting and placing the points on google maps. But dont have gps coordinates.

Sure you bet it is but I have not got a "decent" scraping tool. Can someone "dash" me one.

Federal Ministry Of Database Abuja.
You ask as if you dont know your country.
Well i think you should just go on and create yours. It does in take time just create some Tables and insert those Values. 36values

Hmmm, Not really. You need a pretty large table. Remember the data covers all street in Nigeria.

yawa-ti-de:
I think we should back up for a sec and ask a more important question: Does NIPOST still exist, technically?

They still do a good job of sending internation parcel at a pretty cheap price. The act of posting a letter may be lost but there is a whole opportunity for sending goods.

sayso:
simple,Yoruba men do not value their women.they like ,

Sad but very true. Being in Akure a couple of month and it was not too long before I noticed this sad truth.

No inquisition is simple proof of the wickedness of man. Religion is something used as an excuse. Why do some security agent personnel love torturing their victim. Human nature.

^^^^^^

The worst thing that will happen is for this guy to be allowed to convert himself from the criminal he is to some kind of freedom fighter.

Same thing happened with the Niger Delta militant. Anybody noticed they are now done with kidnapping?
They are now a terror group. Ignore them and that is what you will get.

^^^^^ more excellent

Ditch Java, why?
My only answer to such pathetic statement is simply, you can never be more right than Google (Android), IBM, Oracle, Spring Source, Hibernate, Apache.org, and the thousands of companies that have built their businesses on Java.

Does anyone have an idea where i can get a database of postal code for every town in Nigeria.

If the guys that built this library you use that make you code for less hour do code for less hour like your all, the internet will still be in the 90's. Make no mistake about it, long hours of coding does not equate efficiency, but it certainly equates innovation.

Its a great attribute of a programmer, laziness, but it is also the signs of a dying programmer. Contradictons you might say.

Seems to me like a good question.

It is just like asking how do you get your jollof rice to test like the ones in party. We all know the smoke from the firewood is a big factor. So for this mama put stew, maybe the variety of meat, and smoke particularly play a huge role in determining the taste. I sense it is beyond a recipe, because all mama put stew almost taste the same just like all party rice taste same

First this is the site for the library. http://www.bcltechnologies.com/ . You can also download the sdk from the same site. The current version as stated in the site is 6.2 and it is not free. If you require a free library you can check out itext. Though itext is not easy learning, but you can expect that from a complete pdf library. There is also a pdf library in the apache collection. I have not used that so I can not comment on that.

Back to your easypdf library, you can take the downloaded library and unzip it to any directory of your choice. If you are using an IDE (eclipse or Netbeans) simply edit your build path. Add the pdf  library to your build path. If you are running your program from the command line, you will need to add this library to your classpath (The same way you added the java/bin i.e javac, java e.t.c) to your classpath. Alternatively you can add the library as an option when you compile and when you run the program. You will need to google this online or someone can help with the exact command.

yourprompt> javac YourProgram.java -classpath "path-to-the-library.libraryname.jar" .

As an example assume you had unzipped the library to C:/lib and the jar file is easypdf.jar, then you will type the command as below.

yourprompt> javac YourProgram.java -cp "C:/lib/easypdf.jar"

Kobojunkie:
Unfortunately, I have fallen down into that hopeless zone, almost seen Hell fire and how bad it can be if you let it carry you off. And I can sit here today telling you that it is not as hopeless as it seems during the time you are in that valley . . . Things can turn around if YOU work hard and make better choices -- it could take years but it is guaranteed that things will change. The last thing you want to do is dig the hole a lot deeper than it already is for yourself.

The system helps a bit if you are lucky -- I had to depend on churches for supplies(I did not qualify for welfare). Even the EVIL IRS came a'knocking the same year this all started. Imagine fighting for your tax return as if your life depends on it and not even getting a penny of it for at least an additional year. ROFLMAO!! It was hell!

One good thing for the poor in america is most will not need worry about health bills anymore come 2014 in America.

Interesting is all i can say. Everybody is a preacher. Best words i heard all week. Thanks

If nairaland was full of post as this, we all will be better after one hour in nairaland. That is a good move smartweb. I hope Murtala you had company permission to submit this post you did. You are doing the right thing but could get in company trouble for doing it. That said, i am impressed.

^^^^ Is that true? Learning data structures makes you write more intelligent programmes. In this age of free memory, free CPU, faster and more powerful system, you still believe this university lecture statement.

As a programmer one thing you should stay clear of is generalization.

I guess it is a good thing. Following after the footsteps of Obama

afrobaby:
I am just writing this to encourage as many people that has that archaic mentality of NO INTERTRIBAL RELATIONSHIP that it is because you are not in Love yet, when you find love, u forget every other trivial issues.
LOVE CONQUERS ALL THINGS!!!!!!!! KEEP LOVING , AND GET LOVE, LOL

Am encouraged. Thanks

First a disclaimer: I am not in any way associated with this site.

I don't know if anyone has used this site for sending bulk sms, but i must confess they seem to be good. It is not just their price that got to me, but just about everything.
They have a good site design (of course they can do better, but that can be said for most nigerian site). Secondly, their price ( i just had to say this) is very competitive. Now but the very thing that impressed me is their sense of business.

They had this facebook thing during the period of the independence celebration, where you could log in to facebook and use their app to send free sms. They also have this great promotion of offering you 5 free sms. Other sms sites offer you one, at best 3, but they pushed it to five. Their customer care is top notch. Most Nigerian business have or use internet in their offices but very few have thought of operating a toll- free line, but these guys somehow are making use of skype to do just that. It is not just a number they actually respond when you call. They reply their email almost imediately.

I have not used them for long but i will welcome any other observation I might have missed. smsbag(dot)com

An observation is called silly. He is not hating the invention or inventers just making a point. Of course you are also entitled to your observation.

Interesting stuff. Though there is a 10 naira extra charge for other Zones.

Now there is the war of the marketing department we have been waiting for. Over to glo.
