So this is hilarious and would make it as funny as possible.

We were directed to take a different exit route if we intend using a taxi so we moved our cart to the exit point. A lady was in front of us and one traveller at a time is only allowed to exit in order not to make the front of the airport rowdy. When the lady in front us exited, a crazy cold breeze slapped my essence that I turned to my wife what just happened. She didn't have an answer and I wasn't sure if what hit me was the AC within JFK airport or it just came from outside. When it got to our turn and we exited, the cold was unbelievable. "But they said they are in spring, how come it is this cold?" I asked the taxi driver. The driver laughed and just said "welcome to New York". We packed our stuff in the car and moved.

Our destination was about 40 minutes away and all I had my eyes on was the fare meter. Something that was reading peacefully just added $6.55 after passing a bridge immediately. "Ah, do you guys have Tinubu or LCC here?", I exclaimed. The black driver laughed but didn't get the joke. "Please, how come $6.55 jumped on the fare just now?", I asked. "Oh, that's normal around here. It applies to Queens Midtown, blah blah blah..." At this time, the fare had jumped to $49 dollars and I kept wondering what the eventual fare would be after arriving our temporary destination.

Long story short, we arrived and fare cost was $69.10. Mi rogo! Lori taxi!? . I almost had instant migraine because the Nigerian in me just started converting $70 to Naira, in line with the latest Black Market Rate. While I was lost in thoughts, the driver jokingly asked if I wouldn't tip him after driving the long distance. I looked at him in confusion. "But I just paid you, I know tipping you isn't important. The Nigerian in me is converting the fare and you are asking that I tip you again?" E wo l'eleyi bayii? "So, how much do I tip you?" I asked, trying to prepare my mind for one unbelievable response. He looked at me and responded; "usually, it is 20% of the fare", about $7 or so", he replied. I gave him $10 from the $30 change he gave to me, converted $77 to Naira on the spot while he thanked us and drove away. I was shivering almost two minutes after alighting while trying to move our bags into our host's apartment. Cold ran up my spine even with a jacket on and was almost shaking. It isn't even in Utah yet or even winter but spring and the cold is this insane. Nothing prepares you for this as a Nigerian. Nothing does.

Lool. following...

You will soon realize tipping is standard culture here. It's like Nigeria's "dashing", only a lot more normal. When you tip, you are a good man. When you don't, they may actually spit in your food. You are better off not letting it stick on your person that you don't tip.

Wish her the best!

Why, why, why do we have to go through this again? Are they just no more original entertainment ideas in the Nigerian space?

# import the NumPy module
import numpy as np

# create an array
a = np.array([5, -10, 50, -945, 12, 0])

# Call the len() function
print("You have entered", len(a) - 1, "numbers"

Please change the emoji to )

That's not a good way to write the function

Hello guys, I'm learning python and I have an aptitude test with a school today.


Can anyone help me with the solution to this question?

This is more like it:

a = []
x= input()
while ''.join(x.split('0'))!='': 
  try:
    d = int(x)
    a.append(d)
  except:
    print( "Not a number" )
    break
  x = input()
print(a)

Hi Nairalanders,

My friend, a student in Ukraine alongside others fleeing managed to cross the Ukrainian borders into Hungary for safety.

He thinks it would have been better for him if he had ran into Italy since many of these countries are in sympathy and are willing to accept them, it would have been a nice opportunity. But the problem is that his passport now has the Hungarian stamp from the border.

My question is: Since Hungary and Italy are both Schengen countries, can he still get into Italy now for refuge?

Thank you very much.
I'd appreciate it if this gets to the front page.

This and many more is why you guys create difficulty for other African students, exploiting dire situations like this to advance your shady immigration moves. When we see the Polish border guards restricting access to Nigerians and to African students, we scream racism. Yet, people like your friend with this bad intention are the ones encouraging the kind of behaviour we see from the border guards. I hope your friend realizes this is wrong and try to do what is right.

Thank youuuuuuuuuu Mama!!!

Amennnnnnn oh, a resounding Amen to that!

Congrats!
You best bet is to probably exit the country and go for postgraduate studies abroad. That way you can easily open yourself to international opportunities. While you may be lucky to escape any of those low-paying jobs, the chances are quite low. Opportunities are generally lacking in Nigeria.
