OH MY!!!!!!!!!!

I don't give a damn what anyone says about this guy. . .walahi its sooooooo freaking hilarious!!!!


Omo. . .I've been laughing since I started watching the video and i ain't even finished yet. . .

this is nothing but pure and undiluted comedy!!!



Office has been boring for me since morning but thank the OP for sending this thread my way. . .

Sheikh my foot. . .


@topic

Okay the manner of the reprimand is totally wrong. . .but its not bad that he did it (in my opinion though). I have never been a wasiu fan but he sings rubbish one minute and talks garbage the other minute. I hated him when he was using "Ya-sin" and "Wadu -ee" to make jest. . .using the words of Allah in his music for wrong reasons is crazy. . .

The Alfa may have executed a good intention in a wrong way but I'm still happy he did it. . .

Either way, I'm still laughing. . .



#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

I speak

Yoruba - Mother tongue
English - fluent
French - fluent
Hausa - fluent
Kilba (fluently) - a tribe in adamawa
I speak Ahmaric fluently too (ethiopian langauge)

Rubbish post!!!!

GEJ and FBI or CIA whatever they are called never cease to amaze me,

They just wake up in the morning and chun out any name they dream about. . .

Who the F is Mamman Nur? They can't just call anybody's name and expect us to believe that. . .

Now they will start bombing our country all in search of a "Mamman Nur" that does not exist. . .

GEJ needs to be tried in court for impersonating human beings. . .i swear

He can not transform a local government talkless of a country like naija. . .

Olodo jati jati

Enjoy your "Fresh Air"

honeric01:
THANK YOU, I THOUGHT I WAS ALONE HERE, I AM HERE WASTING MONEY JUST TO GET A DEGREE FROM LASU (PT), SOME OF MY FRIENDS HAVE SPENT 7-8 YEARS OF THEIR LIVES IN LASU TRYING TO GET A DEGREE, YET NO RESULT HAS BEEN RELEASED, society and family pressure you into thinking a degree is all that matters ignoring the most important aspect of life which is "VALUE", what value does your USELESS degree bring or contribute to Nigeria as a whole?

I AM EVENING THINKING OF STOPPING THE USELESS PROGRAM SELF, I THINK ITS BEST I GO FOR CARPENTRY/FURNITURE TRAINING THAN WASTE A WHOPPING 6-7YRS CHASING A WORTHLESS PAPER WHICH IS LIKELY NOT GOING TO ADD ANYTHING TO THE GOOD OF THE NATION.

Don't stop, . .see it through. You can still do it alongside your carpentary training. How many years do you have left? Thing is, if you are leaving school. you had better be leaving for something tangible to do. You could start strategizing or thinking of stuffs for yourself, The whole idea is for you to take charge of your life and destiny. If you are succeeding, let it be because of God and your efforts. . .If you are failing too. . .let it be same reason not leaving your life to some crappy educational system and a failing society. That the society is failing does not mean you should agree with it and allow it to determine the direction you follow,



#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Well, Nigeria will not progress with some kinds of replies I am reading here. Thats the main reason why we can't think outside the box in everything we do. Every young person in Nigeria wants to follow a pattern of life. . .

Go to high school ---> get to unoversity---> job junt

such that if I decide not to attend a Uni for some reasons, I would be looked down upon. Lots of people get into University because of social pressure. "I am not in school" or "I dey lag" syndrome. Thats why most people accept courses they are given, just to not sit at home. Their lives are driven by a failing educational system and society. I have seen people watch their dreams die before their eyes. .  because they just want to get in.

As for me, I knew what I wanted to do with my life even before I left high school and I pursued it to the last. I didn't attend a "university" and I still recall clearly how I used to get ridiculed by my friends. . i mean my very close friends. The gather around me and tell me I wont make it in life blah blah blah. . .but I am an "alagidi eyan" person (opinionated and headstrong) No one would change my belief and sway me away from a path I believe do much in. It was difficult cos my parents didn't make it easy too. They wanted their son to get into a university "like humans do" but at the end of the day, they understood. . .

In 2003, got into NIIT, did a 2 and a half year course. . .wrote my professional exams and I hit an unusual labour market. . .To cap it all, I didnt get a job in Nigeria. . .I work in Addis Ababa with an international agency. . .

All the guys that used to yab me then. . .some of them are graduares. . .one came out with a 2-2. . .others are just there. . .(not saying it to spite them tho),

Thing is I am educated. I am an authority when I speak about my profession and I have the qualifications to back up whatever I say. . .what else do you ask for?

Nigerians must learn that there can't be only one way to do things. . .

Government shoukd revive the TVET (Technical and vocational education centers). . .Its totally dead. . .everybody wants to get into Universities. . .everybody wants to get into polutechnics. . .which means half/full baked graduates are chunned out yearly. . .

Its sad. . .




#Javalove. , unless otherwise stated. . .!

I KNEW I KNEW I KNEW!!!!!

I f8687king KNEW IT WOULD GET TO THIS!!!!!!

I DONT BELIEVE THOSE BASTARDZ CALLED AMERICANS!!!!

FOR ALL I CARE, THEY COULD BE BEHIND EVERYTHING!!!!


AFTER ALL, THE PREDICTED WE WILL SPLIT IN 2015. . .

AND I SEE ALL THEIR BLOOD DRIPPING HANDS ARE ON DECK TO MAKE IT HAPPEN!!!

ONLY US CAN REDEEM OURSELVES. ONLY GOD CAN SAVE NIGERIA!!!!

JUST IMAGINE THEM FIRING DRONES IN THE NORTH, .THEY WILL KILL MORE INNOCENT SOULS IN 3 MONTHS THAN BOKO HARAM IN 5 YEARS!!!!!!

THE GOVERNMENT KNOWS WHAT TO DO. . .BUT THE DRUNKEN FISHERMAN IMPERSONATING HIMSELF AS OUR PRESIDENT WILL NOT DO JACK!!!!

DAMN. . .I WISH BUHARI WON!!!

@topic

Okay. . .lets do this. . . As someone rightly said on this thread, this issue can be viewed from 3 different angles. . .Cultural, Social and Religious views. . .

I am Yoruba and accordiing to the Yoruba culture, its totally wrong. . .

I am a muslim and in Islam. . .its totally wrong. . .

Thing is SOCIETY has an expectation of everyone. . .the woman who is bothered about not having children MIGHT BE because of her failing to meet the expectations of the society (Family, friends, etc)  . Same with the man. So to fulfill all righteousness, some men make it compulsory for their women to be pregnant before the wedding. I personally know a friend of mine who dumped a girl because she refused to get pregnant. . .

So because I am first a muslim before being a Yoruba boy or any other thing in life, the teachings of my faith will prevail over both societal and cultural values. . .hence, its wrong. . .in all totality for a guy and a girl who are not married to even have sex talk less of getting pregnant. . .

Salam Alykun and Ramadan Mubarak to everyone. May Allah accept it from us.

Please I want to know when exactly one should stop eating his/her sahur. In a situation where there are like 3 to 4 mosques in your neighborhood and the athan is called at slightly different times. When the Athan is called, is there a plus or minus number of minutes for one to stop eating or one must sop immeiately the athan is heard. , ?



#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Salam alykun. . .great work guys.

I'm in naija now. . .when is this going to be, .any dates yet?

Why are you talking so much trash?
Are you not a fool? Igbo this Igbo that. Una go dey sleep, na Igbo una go dey think.
Are you people normal or is this the new disease in Nigeria.
Is it not One Nigeria again? Thunder fire your stupidddd mouth.

See your mouth like one nigeria. why do you guys talk with both sides of your mouth? one day, its Nigeria needs to split. . .another day you want to take over lagos. I laff in Igbo. ,

Cosmopolitan or not, Lagos has its real owners. . .if you like make up the entire 100 percent of its population. . .we will always place you where you belong. . .!

Them give una one piece of mean, una dey ask for goat. . .Na tinubu wey give una commissioner in the first place.

And we will stop bashing ibos when you guys stop spewing gibberish, . Tell your leaders to channel their positive energies to developing their own region. . .rather than losing sleep over a south western state. . .

Yet some ignorant Nigerians will srill be saying we are a secular nation. . . .*deep sigh*






#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

The gentility of a tiger is not an obligation to its cowardice. . .

Because the Yorubas are peace loving and accommodate indigenes and non indegenes does not mean that we can be stepped on. Can you imagine this yeye ibo man talking trash. . .talking of an ibo governorship in a yoruba land? An ibo man to rule over our kings and white cap chiefs? An ibo man that knows absolutely nothing about our culture? An ibo man that WILL/SHALL/MUST find all ways to run the state dry? An ibo man advocating for the un-lugardization of the Nigerian project now wants to rule in the same Nigeria?

Tell me, this 45 or 43 percent of ibos in lagos BS is going viral on NL. . .where the heck did they get that figure from? The more you guys say that, the more you remind our elders and the yoruba leaders to put in strict measures on you and your businesses.

Why haven't any of them thought of ruling Kano. . .or Kaduna or any other Northern state where ibos make up "90 percent". . .? Because they know the mallams will slaughter them like cows. . .

Take your businesses to your states, .Go and develop your states too. . .If you push this too far it might lead to something else. . .perhaps a riot. The Yorubas are not fools please. . .stop taking our peacefulness and tolerance for meekness. . .

I had rather let foreigners who no what they are doing to come and help our country, than the Nigerian government, who will keep lying, until things are damaged beyond repair. if people's lives will be saved by the participation of foreign soldiers, then isn't that an option we could consider. wat is the point depending on a government that we all know in honesty, will definitely fail us yet again. These are innocent men, women, children that we are talking about here, not some farm animal. So my point is, if foreign soldiers occupying our land will stop all this blood shed, then i personally will prefer the option. Afterall, Nigeria as it seems is already taken over by powerful elites, who steal everything from up; our future, our careers, our natural resources,  so i dont really see any difference. but if anybody for one day decides to think that the present chaos will be handled by Nigerian government, then that person just has to be the biggest joker of the century

Nigerians never learn!!!!!! Call me a frigging conspiracy theorist if you like but use happenings in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan as your case study. Nigeria will be worse with those guys here. They will never leave. You and I know that our northern brothers are impatient and less educated. Imagine them now attacking the foreign soliders and killong them. Then the foreign soilders, all in the name of retalliaton or "closing down" will kill more innocent nigerians than the frigging boko haramites in less than a year. . .

Be careful what you wish for. . .

And again, I still strongly believe that those boko haramites are heavily backed by some strong unseen forces. If some Al-Qaeda members have been seen hanging out with the pentagon, then i don't think this is any different. Remember the same bastards have been predicting our split. . .and now a new target of 2015 is set. Read the writings on the wall. . .this is just a pretext for invasion of our dear country!!!!!

I don't even believe the news. . .Its all media games. . .

I SWEAR TO GOD!!!!!!!

I SWEAR BY GOD!!!!!!

THIS STORY IS A FRIGGING HOAX!!!!!. . .

NIGERIANS BE PREPARED FOR EXTERNAL INVASION IN THE NAME OF "HELP"

THIS IS A PRETEXT FOR FOREIGN SOLDERS TO COME OCCUPY OUR LAND!!!!!

MARK MY WORD. . .!

Nairaland has not changed. . .!!!!

Hey. . .I wrote a piece on this topic in April

http://javamylove./2011/04/17/so-you-want-to-be-a-programmer/

I made it as simple as I could. . .

This Article is already published in the Digital Natives Newsletter (Links In The Chain) April 15, 2011 Vol. 4 Best Practices issue

So you want to be a programmer? You want to write web and desktop applications. You want to develop software for the iPhone and the Android market You want to be a solutions provider to companies and individuals alike. Let me share tips that will help in your quest to be one of us – the geeky do-gooders!



Like any other profession, IT requires determination, patience and willingness to persevere. The begining could be very challenging and intimidating because you might find it hard to figure out some ugly looking write-ups called “codes”. You would wonder why a line – JButton buttonObject = new JButton(“Click Me”) – should create a button with “Click Me” written on it in Java (a scripting language). You might even be thinking about wireless internet connections as some voodoo from the west.

Being a PROGRAMMER or a SOFTWARE DEVELOPER is not rocket science. It’s not as hard as many make it seem. Those codes that scare you seem to me as the easiest part of our profession. Once you understand the structure, the rules and the syntax, basically the ‘logic’ of why codes are written in programming language, the rest is easy.
Also, note that the more you code, the more you try out examples in the book you are reading, the eaiser it will be for you to master the coding techniques of the language. I remember my NIIT (an Indian school in Nigeria) days. I would always volunteer to do the coding, ever willing to help a mate identify errors in his/her code. By the end of the first semester, my coding skills was actually faultless.

Once you master coding, the rest depends on how well you can think. Don’t wait for your instructor to tell you what to do. Go ahead and give yourself a pet project. It could be as simple a project as creating a database of students in your college with information on their names, grades and activities. Build it in bits. As your knowledge grows, let the software you are building grow in functionality as well. Who knows, it just might turn out to be a gold mine for you.

In my case, the pet project I did at NIIT, Hospital Management System, kick started my career and put me on the IT radar in Nigeria. I travelled different states, met high-profile people, addressed a cross section of medical practitioners, all at the age of 22! Since then, it’s been one challenging project or the other.

You also need to start thinking like a computer. Start viewing life and events around you with an IT lens. You walk into a resturant, order a pie and a drink totalling $10. If you pay less than the total, the computer rejects. What do you think is happening there.? Consider this statement

If amount paid < 10. . . . tell customer money incomplete else
Print reciept for customer.
If a Java programmer were to right this, its simple
if(amount < 10)
{
showMessage(“Customer money incomplete”);
}
else
{
printReceipt();
}

Another example. Imagine you are playing the FIFA 2011 soccer game (Sorry, I’m a game freak with a mate and at the end of the first half, the match analysis is displayed showing that your team had 3 corner kicks and 2 offsides. What comes to your mind? It means there is a ‘variable’ to store value for each of those game highlights. The variable is set to zero at kickoff and incremented by 1 anytime you win a corner kick or caught offside. At the end of the half, the variables are retrieved and presented to you. If you did not win a corner kick, the variable remains zero. Does it make sense?



Bottom line here is how logically you can break down or tear apart any situation in daily life and apply it to programming. This will determine your pace of learning as well. Start paying attention to the things you normally ignore. From your ATM machine telling you “Insufficient Funds” to your webmail application returning an ‘Invalid Login’ message. The more you understand the dynamics behind these simple things, the faster it will be for you to come up with solutions to problems related to IT, technology, finance, pharma, healthcare, education and even entertainment and sports industries (think about cricket match analysis on your TV).

Again, don’t expect that you will master the syntax or grammar of coding in a day or learn computer languages immediately. The more you write them, the eaiser they are for you to recall.

Note also, that not everyone will end up being a coder, however, a good understanding of the intricacies involved will help. So, for instance, if you decide to be an IT Project Manager or an Application Specification Developer amongst other fields, you should have the basic understanding of coding and programming.

Finally, you need a writing pad. As the wind blows new ideas to your direction, write them down. What kind of idea it is, who will it affect or who are the target audience, what do you need to bring it to life, revenue generation strategies and so on, should be penned.

A good place to start learning about programming languages is here:

Java http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17409_01/javase/tutorial/

PHP http://php.net/manual/en/tutorial.php

.NET http://www.w3schools.com/aspnet/default.asp

Your comments are welcomed. . .!

Good move. . .! This is not new tho. . .In Addis Ababa (where I live), you pay 300 Birr fine (which is like 4k) if you give beggars money especially on the high way. . .

@OP

Nothing. . .I repeat nothing will happen to you. You will not die before your time. I have countless number of friends that are HIV positive, one of them had it since she was 13 and even a member of the Ugandan parliament. Looking at her, you would not believe she is HIV positive and she lives and mixes freely with everyone.

I could help you though. I could introduce you to counselors and doctors back home in Naija that will be of great help to you.

You don't have to worry. HIV is not the end of the world. It just means you would not live la vida loca anymore. . .

Drop me a mail smilewithjaji@gmail.com if you need me.

Again, don't lie about your status to those around you. . .especially to those that matter most to you. . .!
