@ tayoccu i hope you have delivered my message, i wonder why a company as big as MTN should produce an Android app that would be crashing...If you haven't tell them their NextApp on Android doesn't work, tell them i can't download any app from there it always returns and error message...

Pls the MTN NextApp crashes every minute, you guys should do something about this...

Pls kindly tell the developers in charge of the MTN NextApp that their Android app is very crappy, Tell them i cant register with the app, it doesn't send me any verification s.m.s. So i can't register. I have tried it over ten times today and it still doesn't work...

prodam: @ javanian, actually, what you stand to gain depends on what you want to gain. By default, you gain anything obtainable from being in a community of experienced, smart and exposed programmers and other ICT personalities. Also with the environment furnished in a standard ICT style, you will feel the spirit n aura of coding when you are around.

I heard of paring 30k for membership, what do i stand to gain after paying such apart from the "environment furnished in a standard ICT style". Lets say i have a start up and i need people in my team, do i get such there? if yes, how?

mj: It is really a wonderful environment to code, try and visit @Javanian.

Yeah, but what do i stand to gain? that's that i want to know...

pls can someone tell me what this place
is like and what i stand to gain by being a
member?
