Tinubu thought he has sorted his reelection after making all opposition governors decamp to APC. He thought has buried opposition..... but now reality on ground is saying otherwise because even the governors thought they were going to have it easy but it ain't going that way.

Surely they must betray Tinubu to save their own skin.

"Ordinary primary of NDC, what happened?"

See this one calling NDC ordinary, you guys call it ordinary but continue to feel threatened. All the attacks against opposition ever since Peter Obi decamped has been towards NDC.

Continue calling it ordinary outside but inside you guys know the truth.

Face the issue at hand, so you don't see anything wrong that a mere aide has access to INEC server.

Swear say your life is better. since I have known you, you have always been supporting disasters from Buhari and here you are still doing same. I'm sure you will soon start serving their children.

They are planning to claim ownership of Abuja very soon

That's what is affecting me now honestly. I have deployed locally and done everything locally and now moving to cloud feels hectic.

The AWS free tier is nothing for the kind of stuff I need on the server. I registered in digital ocean last week but there was no free $200 my account there read 0.00.

It's contabo that I have moved to, pricing is fair compared to AWS but their payment rules that's delaying me they don't accept naira card only dollar, Euros, pound

as69:
This is a solid start sha. Getting Linux running on an external HDD on a 4GB laptop - most people quit at that installation stage alone, so real respect for pushing through.

One thing that helped me: once you're comfortable with the basics, start practising on a free cloud instance rather than only local. AWS free tier gives you a t2.micro for 12 months, DigitalOcean gives $200 credit for new accounts. Running commands on an actual remote server changes how you think about networking and permissions - and those two things matter a lot for DevOps specifically.

How far you go with the sticky bit issue? That one trips people for a while.

Why are you even wasting your time going back and forth with him. Leave him jare let him go to PayPal make him sef experience wetin men dem face.

When they block him account with $5000 inside he shouldn't come here screaming

airsaylongcome:
Let’s even agree that those are the top 5 in the early 2000s. Which of those countries were banned by PayPal?

Sorry but software engineering is not only about web development it's more than that.

Not everybody wants to be a web developer so it's perfectly fine if you don't want to learn HTML.

Going through all these just to get to learning C++ no be am. Software engineering is not only about website creation. As a matter of fact AI don dey take care of that aspect.

The real show of knowledge is implementing logic. If you want to start as a solid developer start with DSA before moving to the language of your choice. Think like an engineer that is out to solve, implement logic

dometome:
Yes it will be hard for you as a first language, but not so hard as a second or third language, so my advice is this, if you want to learn Programming, Please Learn HTML first! I can never emphasize that enough. Yes, it is not a programming language, I know, but learn HTML first, then CSS. HTML takes about a month or two to learn, then CSS can take longer, prolly 6 months or less, or maybe more, it depends on how you go about the learning process, then after that, Learn PHP, yes, PHP! not JavaScript. Take your time learn PHP, PHP is like HTML 2.0, HTML with a few more rules, to enable you go beyond the regular HTML, make dynamic websites, create, modify, open and close files on windows, mac or Linux, query databases, plus other things, for example, I created a PHP app that joins two videos together to make one video, PHP will simplify your learning process, when it comes to Programming in general, computer science in general, things like arrays or lists, loops, variables, data types (very important) array methods, then objects, (super important for OOP). Then learning another language like JavaScript becomes a breeze. Do you know another language that becomes a breeze for you? The Almighty C++! C++ is just like PHP with a few more rules, just as PHP is like HTML with a few more rules. Do not allow anyone intimidate you, telling you that programming in C++ is like trekking to the moon and back. Na lie!

‎
‎
‎
‎So far, I have explored basic Linux commands and system concepts.
‎
‎1. Shells: I learned how to list all available shells installed on the system.
‎
‎2. Hardware clock: Practiced checking and displaying the hardware clock time.
‎
‎3. Navigation:Used commands to change to the home directory and understand directory structures.
‎
‎4. Hidden files:Learned how to display hidden files and directories.
‎
‎5. File & directory management: Created directories and files, and appended text to files.
‎
‎6. Viewing content: Practiced using head to display specific numbers of lines or bytes and combine head and tail for selective viewing.
‎
‎7. File permissions:
‎
‎ * Changed permissions so only the owner can read, write, and execute. Chmod 700 'filename' read is 4, write:2, execute:1 all of them added is 7 so for each group you set the number you want.
‎
‎ * Modified permissions using symbolic and numeric modes.
‎
‎ * Applied umask to control default permissions for new files.
‎
‎ * Changed file ownership to another user.
‎
‎8. File paths:
‎
‎ Learned the difference between absolute (which ls, type -a ls) and relative paths (cd /bin ./ls).
‎
‎9. Process management:
‎
‎ Listed running processes using ps and tail.
‎
‎Understood the meaning of UID, PID, PPID, STIME, TTY, TIME, and CMD.
‎
‎10. Links: Created and understood symbolic links.
‎
‎11. File compression: Practiced decompressing files back to their original form gunzip
‎
‎12. Searching files: Used commands to find files in `/etc` that contain the word “bash”, and learned how to count and display results using grep, wc and head.
‎
‎13. Memory monitoring: Used free with options (-h, -k, -m, -g) to view memory usage in various units.
‎
‎14. Sticky bit: Explored the sticky bit concept, although this part still needs more practice.
‎
‎
‎
‎I’m becoming more confident with basic Linux navigation, file permissions, and process management. Next, I plan to deepen my understanding of special permissions like the sticky bit, setuid and also get into running processes more.

How's the course going so far?

jidemosaic:
Can we connect? I'm on the same track but dealing with Linux sys admin first via an udemy course

Osheeeey I twale for the hottest homelab couple😂

Suicideboy:
Same with my gf

My gf runs hers on rpi running arch linux , thanks to her i dont need netflix any more when we have plex, navidrome instead of spotify, xmpp instance for when she spams me dirty piiiicccs

Thanks for the feedback, I started with Cinnamon Mint since it feels closer to Windows. it’s helping me get comfortable with Linux basics. As I keep learning the command line, I’ll definitely start exploring the more server-focused distros like you suggested.

Plus laptop constraints is limiting me for the time even installing editor like nano I couldn't so I am stuck with sublime for now. When I get a better one, I will move on to the latest distros.

Seun:
Nice workbro. Hint for learning Linux for devops: You should probably install the latest version of CentOS/Alma Linux/Rocky Linux or Fedora. The first 3 are the same: the most popular Linux servers used in the world. Fedora is a desktop OS but it's very compatible with the first 3.

I'm telling you oooooooo there should be something like "proficiency in Linux installation begginers level"🤣😂😂

PeterObi4Presid:
The installation hassle alone should be enough to award you "certificate of beginning", recognized by recruiters

The installation.

The next process is now to start learning basic Linux commands

‎
‎
‎
‎Hello, good day everyone. I am  stepping into the world of technology. So I took the decision to get a tech skill and I decided to go for devops. Devops is a combination of the word development and operations.
‎
‎
‎
‎So what is DevOps? It is a way of working that brings together developers (who write code) and operations( those that automate the running of code on servers or in the cloud). The goal is to make building, testing and deploying software faster and smoother. It is all about automation.
‎
‎
‎
‎Researching about what skill to learn, the feed-backs I got were things like “don’t try DevOps oooo, it's not for the faint hearted” but not withstanding here I am. I am documenting my journey here, so I can come back to see how far I am going and for here to serve as my accountability partner.
‎
‎
‎
‎So the first step I have taken in the journey so far is the installation of the Linux operating system on my laptop. Oh my God! It wasn't an easy journey because the laptop I am using is a 4GB RAM laptop. You can imagine trying to run windows and Linux on it….hahahahahaha.
‎
‎
‎
‎I found a way around it sha, so I bought a 500GB external hard disk drive and installed Linux. It is on the external HDD drive that linux is running. So anytime I want linux I just plug in my external HDD and it boots to Linux. But doing it wasn't easy for me sha at my level.
‎
‎
‎
‎I had to reconfigure a lot of things in my PC and changed It to dual booting. turned off secure boot, gave ubuntu the priority as the first OS that will load. So anytime I connect my external HDD it loads to Linux but if not connected my windows load straight away.
‎
‎
‎
‎So I kinda prefer it this way for now since my laptop is not capable of running both OS. I need to start somewhere.
‎
‎
‎
‎For the installation, I downloaded linux cinnamon mint. linux mint is a popular linux distribution based on ubuntu/debian. It is user friendly and the interface is almost like that of windows. The GUI is beginners friendly size is about 2GB+ after that I downloaded Rufus software, it is what I used to burn the linux downloaded file into a USB, making the USB a boot-able drive and in my BIOS in the systems setting I set it to load first when it is plugged in.
‎
‎
‎
‎downloading the linux OS into my external HDD, I had to partition it first allocated space of 256GB, I made a mistake. It was 265GB I wanted to allocate but I forgot and I didn’t have the strength to clean the drive to a new volume. I have gone through that before. I pressed diskpart and then entered the following commands to clean it
‎
‎
‎
‎1. list disk (...this lists all the drives in my system and their capacity)
‎
‎2. select disk 1(...the name of my external HDD)
‎
‎3. clean
‎
‎4. create partition primary
‎
‎format fs=ntfs quick assign
‎
‎After that I loaded my USB containing the Linux file and also plugged in my External HDD, so during installation when it was asking me for where it will be installed and listed out all my drives. I clicked on my External HDD. Installation was successful after a lot of back and forth with troubleshooting; it finally installed and the dual booting was set. So this is how far I have gone in my journey and I hope to update it from time to time to share my progress. I have prepared my mind for how difficult it is going to be but I don’t know if I have prepared enough.
‎
‎
‎
‎I am now getting familiar with the linux environment, it is rich. They have their own version of office suite and I noticed the shortkeys I use in office it is also working here. Anytime I finish work I disconnect my drive and everything gets saved on my External HDD. make i dey manage am like this first till i upgrade to a better laptop.
‎
‎Learning this at the beginning I know it's going to feel like studying math at 3pm. I am setting a 6 months to 1 year timeline….lets see how it goes.
‎
‎

Forget it, it's nothing continue studying your PDF. It is not going to affect you, just do your TMA and read and you are good to go. If you have practicals you go for it [quote author=LaPremiereFemme post=136898003][/quote]

I enrolled late like you last semester, It wasn't easy at all but I still managed to get through it. Start studying now, for me since you don't have much time ditch the live classes and start going through your PDF course materials.

Study using your course materials and allocate significant amount of time to cover each course. Each course you cover, you enter and write your TMA. Then look for the course past questions and summaries, it helps too

LaPremiereFemme:
Good evening everyone.
Please, I just registered for my exams this week which means I am just having access to the E-learning portal, but it seems I have a lot of grounds to cover in terms of the courses, discussion forums, live classes and so on.
I feel overwhelmed, given the limited time I have left to do all these and write all the TMAs before the portal for it gets close.

Is there any suggestions on how best to go about it?

Or is deferring the semester an option?

I am far behind and NOUN is already in week 6.
How do I go about this?
Any better suggestions will be welcomed.

I want to register for the virtual exam please how do I do that because on the portal there is no submit button. Registration for the virtual exam has it started

Anthonyo15:
Approval of extension of 2025_2 semester course and examination, Matriculation ceremony

Thank you so much

Enskynelson:
I don't think the virtual exams registration is opened yet. It will be opened before exams. Just keep checking.
As for the support.nou.edu.ng, you may have to contact your ICT officer at the study centre. To login, username is normally your matriculation number and the default password is: default. If you try that and you still get unknown user, try and visit the ICT officer. It will be fixed.

Europe has been overrun

Policies wey no dey show for the life of citizens.....chai who do amoda this thing

For me even though Kemi dey go extreme sometimes but the points she raises sometimes, it should not be met with attacks but instead deep reflection.

No be here people wey go boarding school dey complain of the maltreatment and poor living conditions, but when she talked about her Nigerian boarding school experience everybody was mad.

You suppose to know the reason for umu ekwensu acting this way. It all boils down to Jealousy!

They have been hanging around waiting to hear if OP will one day write 'i regret coming to this country my life is ruined' so they will comment 'we told you so!' but e no gree happen instead before their very eyes Tensa dey make progress.

Why dem no go mad 😡

pocohantas:
And I find it funny given we are quite pessimistic and unpatriotic. I think Kemi's own is because she is calling us out on a global scale. So it is more of her selling us short despite being our own. It is doube edged sword. It triggers a few correctional moves as +ve and we all know the -ve.

The ones on this thread are umu ekwensu sha. They can call white black to go against OP.

Please I want to register for the virtual exam but there's no submit button on my portal. How do I register for virtual exam and also I can't log on to e ticketing platform it is saying unknown user. I have not logged in before how do I rectify that

Enskynelson:
Register ALL.

A 36 years old working class woman intending to marry no fit comot money pay for her own family transport to her wedding. Hmmmmmm I think they have a more bigger problem than the transport isssssh

I like ukwa but without bitter leaf

All these countries you just mentioned are Eastern Europe countries. Dey are the India of Europe.their citizens are all over Europe doing menial jobs/crimes to survive.


Look for better country

One thing with Nigerians, they don't like it when you compare the ills of Nigeria to other countries or talk about it.

Just the same way they are piling on Kemi Badenoch but nah only she know the shege her eyes see for Nigeria. Once you say the truth about the state of the country they get angry and will go miles to counter your point.

pocohantas:
Just because you want to counter him, you don't mind telling lies. Indeed there are PUBLIC libraries in almost every state, but they are dead. With old books ans journals. The one in my state had to open small bistro inside. Where lovers go to eat buns and zobo. Public libraries in Nigeria are dead. They look haunted. The private ones are nice.

Please does anybody have an experience with the virtual exam. I want to register for it but I'm scared please who have written virtual exam before

Thank you so much. And please I want to ask, if I want to write the exam at home not in school how do I go about it

Enskynelson:
Study for specifics and not for general knowledge. General knowledge will help during POP exams but specific knowledge is required for the OBJ and fill in the gap.

That means nah to dey study aimlessly with this their bulky PDF oh chim!

Enskynelson:
No reliable 100L past questions especially recent years. E-exams doesn't give students legal way of having the questions outside the hall.

Please where can one get past questions for 100 level and PDF course summaries

Can I get someone outside to register and set up a profile in their name and then I login with VPN to the survey sites to answer questions will it work like that?

SKhanmi:
I understand, but one has to work hard to get to those levels. You don’t just jump into tech and expect big earnings.

For surveys, If you’re sharp and street, get better vpn or prox.y, us/uk PayPal and No, create a black/caucasian profile. And sign up on survey sites. Keep your answers consistent.

That’s the free summary.

If you want constant solid updates and info, Buy the same course I did. Hold roughly 10-20k for tools. You go make am back within weeks.

https:// tinyurl. com/3yx8hmnb. Remove the spaces

Mind you, it gets tiring after a while. Once I meet my target, I’ll probably just stick with 2 high paying sites once in a while. Na prolific and Outlier I dey eye. If you get family/friend with sense for UK/US. Ask them to verify those accounts for you. The rest are like dogs in a manger. Typical Nigerians

Even Excel have cloud based too

preciouswoman66:
Use Google Sheet. It's cloud based. Just like Gmail
