Nice input.
What of ASP. NET?

Can someone learn both php and python accordingly?

I don't have much knowledge of ASP. Net. A quick Google Search will be sufficient enough for you.

As for the second question, Definitely. You can learn both PHp and Python accordingly. But it will take you years to master both of them. unless you're not thinking about the future, some of that time is better spent learning Node. There are not so many node Master devs in Nigeria right now. be clever .

just to give my two cent...

Op, no one language can outdo all others at every metric you'd use to evaluate a server-side application. I believe your purpose of learning to program is that you'd like to make it a career.

The market Stats. Nigeria!

In Nigeria, very large corporations are most likely to be using Java, but there are not so many enterprises like that compare to your average web development companies and majority of other corporations who use a programmer. PHP and Python form the largest market for web developers in Nigeria with PHP coming comfortably in first position. It is clear you're more likely to find work( Both freelancing and employment) using PHP, Python or Java in that order.

The market stats, the World

As, always, Nigeria is playing catch up here especially in a genre like technology. however, PHP still servers more than 70% of existing websites around the globe. But the PhP market is getting saturated. More and More companies are adopting new tech stacks to build future works. hence, the number of new PHP job openings is drastically on the decline while JS(node), Ruby, Python and Go are on the rise.

if you use stackOverFlow, you'd notice that developers are adopting Node.js/express framework at an overwhelmingly fast rate. Also, current job openings for Node.js beats other back-end frameworks or language comfortably.

In, my opinion, if you know TWO server-side languages in 2019 and JavaScript (Node.js) isn't one of them, you're potentially going against the tide in the world of web-programming, whether you live in Nigeria or Jupiter. Because if there is a language that can be termed the future, then that language is JavaScript.

Final Verdict!

Since you're in Nigeria, Because of job prospect, pick one of PHP or Python. I'd go for Python because of versatility outside of web development. Then, your next language should definitely be JavaScript Node.js. That guarantees your present and future. Be looking to pick-up Java if you see an opportunity that specifically requires expertise with that language.

Lastly, if you're building something for the generality of clients, the language you use is inconsequential. Most clients won't even know and won't care. It's left for you to use the tool you find most suitable for each scenario.

I'm a difficult person to please when it comes to movies. however, the figurine is the kind of movie I want to see top directors and actors put their name on in nollywood. Kunle Afolayan films are all above average. I'd like to watch more of his films. October 1st is my favorite.

That's how you pundits write off teams. Remember Norwich City

Don't it speaks to the strength and brilliance of this Man City team that everyone now expect them to win every game?

I agree with the list in that order really, City, Liverpool and Barcelona.

City are my personal favorites because they have the most outstanding balance in their squad. Without LaPorte at present means they kinda look short in defense but he'll be back before February and that's when the business end of a season starts in the CL.

Liverpool are Liverpool. Nobody wants to play them in a two legged knockout match. They're made for the CL in my opinion. If they avoid Man City, they'll be in a third straight final.

Barca is filled with very good players but without Messi, they're not as terricfic as the other top teams. So, I've only made Barca a favorite because they have the best passer, best playmaker, best goalscorer, best finisher, and best dribbler the game has now in Messi. And of course, the most brilliant individual player the game has ever seen. They'll always be a favorite as long as Messi draws breath.

Being a scholar presents us the opportunity to unlearn, learn and relearn, consequently, being schooled gives the opportunity of innovative adaption in problem solving.

I agree. However, when it comes to leading men, the most important qualities are not taught in schools or formally. This are traits which shapes the individual from childhood till death.

Most Nigerians are morally bankrupt already and it's hard to imagine the future generations being any different. CHARACTER IS THE PROBLEM OF THE BLACK RACE. Not education.

Me, I have B.Sc Human Anatomy, 2015
M.Sc Anatomy (In view, 2020)
MBBS, (2022).

I will be less than 30 upon having these degrees.
Previously, I worked in a place same city (Abuja) as where the president's Office is.
I was paid less than 120k with my degree, yet somebody is directing the affairs and activity of a nation and her citizens without an O'level.

My pain is that I supported him in the last election.

If your degree is such a true determinant of competence, you'll not be happy earning 120k.

We've had presidents with university education now, jonathan was a PhD holder, how did that fact distinctively distinguishes how he governed?

There are a lot of top government officials with sterling formal education who actually handle the nitty-gritty ofdevelopment, how are they faring?

The University is filled and run by professors, doctors and such. While undergraduates and post grads constitutes the larger populace. However, is the University System and Environment as a Whole the greatest proponent of character and civilization you'd like replicated in all spheres of nigeria?

.....what is the code for mtn

*131*65#

Haha, I've got 4 Airtel Sims unto free night browsing and just hope one will be eligible. But the credits I'm owning reach 750, and I no wan pay back so I abandon 3 of the Sims.

I guess I'll be tricked into paying my dept before I'm told eligible or not.

I'm rocking MTNs own awooof sha. I no need Airtel for now.

Mindhunter. Season 2

Here we go!

Yesssssssssssssssssss! finally.

I've been waiting for this day. My kinda shi.

Now, by the orders of the peaky blinders, I'm a massive Fan.

I've just watched episode 1of see season one and I can tell very well what lies ahead. Looks solid. Nough said.

This are the kind of stories that make people fear MARRIAGE. Nothing I fear most than the mistake of choosing the wrong Partner. However, the only that gives me solace is that I I'm willing and ready to use Divorce as a tool to restore sanity.

This why Baby mamas is the new trend. How can someone go from virtue to vile and vitrol in 360 degrees real quick. Can't people be angry without losing self respect?

OP, for the fact that it started immediately after marriage means she's displaying her default character and person. Marriage is a safe haven to let go, let free any reservations for most. In my opinion, you've made a mistake in choosing a wife that's difficult to see. I'm not saying you're without fault but there's a basic respect a sane person gives no matter what, especially to a partner in marriage. She gives none to you and you have to put yourself and your child first before your marriage. But first, get the DNA test done and be ready to leave amicably since it's not working for both of you.

Well, OP, I don't think "controlling" anybody with freewill is what you want in any kind of relationship talkless of a romantic one for that matter.

Traditionally, your role as leader of the relationship isn't tied to your financial status. However, your role as chief provider is naturally dependent on your financial abilities.

Separate decisions that have to do with money from those that don't. For instance, if you stay in a one bedroom apartment and she decides to move in with you, be ready to make some concessions if she finds the apartment too "small" for the both of you. Since you probably can't afford a bigger place alone, the next best thing is to find a middle ground and look for a place both can equally contribute to financial. Hence, her opinions regarding matters that have to do with finances counts equally with yours and both of you have to come to an agreement before decisions are taken.

But assuming she says you have to move into her 4 bedroom bungalow instead of yours, then your traditional role as leader of the relationship is at stake and you should refuse.

For "other" day to day decisions which have to be taken, defer to superior arguments and don't think yours or anything you say have to be followed completely.

I'm a guy and the senior to my younger sister, she's both very submissive and independent. They're things she would ask for my directions, those she'll have to obey anything I say, and then those she take irrespective of my opinions because she's simply better placed to take them. That's how relations is in this century. You Can't Control Anything or Anybody.

Biglittlelois:
I am amazed at the comments/advice above, no insults from females regarding Op going for someone wealthy than he is, if Op was a female, the insults from adult kids here would have been out of this world, instead females are also advicing without insults, name calling or bashing, talk about maturity from females here is 90% compared to males.

Haha, I don't see females coming out saying their partners are wealthier simply because that's expected and the default order.

Seun's Server won't scale if all the women starts opening threads about how to control their wealthier Boyfriends, husbands, and babyDaddies because it will be simply catastrophic in numbers.

Jokerman:
Pep is a local champion... He's the best in England, not in the world...

Like someone said Pep, Mourinho are money managers....

Both Pochettino, Klopp and Sarri have previously stated multiple times that Pep Josep Guadiola is THE BEST COACH IN THE WORLD.

SO, bro, who are you again?

spine:
It does not matter
Everyone gets sacked eventually
There's no award for the coach that has never been sacked..
It's a job of hire and fire
For coaches its like this; now your jobless, before long you have a new offer elsewhere..especially when you have a history of some success.
Don't know why people lament about sack in football like it's a Government job..

No matter what you do real madrid must change coach within a year to 3 years. If you don't leave yourself you would be asked to leave, and you'll be paid handsomely.
He just needs to get his team ready to start well, compete and win laurels, not to get obsessed about sack or no sack so early.
do guys even know how much they negotiate for themselves when you fire them before their contract ends...
Who in his right senses would turn down a recall to Madrid because hes ashamed of getting the sack...
It's idiotic.
Wasn't guardiola sacked by bayern after leaving with a super loud ovation in Barca....
Did it stop his progress?

Smh

Get your facts right. Guadiola has never been sacked and never will be.

Frankiss44:
He inherited a very solid team with virtually everybody at their prime, same thing happened to Pep that was why he won the Champions League twice at barca before he went for a new challenge.. Zindane is just an average coach, he doesn't even read game properly like Pep.. I see him finishing this season 3rd and best bet is Q-finals in the Champions League

Rubbish as soon as he compares Pep and Zidane's coaching abilities. Rubbish

makavele:
This is a very dumb thread that should have been trashed in one line.
Yes a degree in Comp. Sci is very good [especially one
gotten outside the walls of the Nigerian curriculum], but if a programmer doesn't have one and can push himself beyond limits, he'll do just fine! The only drawback is that
he'll have to learn by trial and error as he goes on; and will be very much dependent on tools created by the "computer scientists" in the first instance.

Tools created by computer scientists "and" those who are not.

dreamchaser90:
From my experience, most places in the world, first degree is geared towards opening up your mind. Then in Masters/Ph.D you can choose an area to specialize. The aim is to start wide and further specialize in an area as you study further.

And as others have earlier pointer out, Computer Science is more just programming. It involves a whole lot more. Even areas not seemingly directly related to Computer Science are covered. So saying the four years is a waste, is not looking at the whole picture.

And even outside Nigeria, if you just studied Computer Science in the university, it doesn't equip one with the skills to enter the job market as a programmer. That is why universities offer students the opportunity to go on internships or have work placements in order to acquire these skills. The practical skills acquired in addition to the theoretical knowledge already inculcated, makes for a better programmer.

Now for the question about whether Computer Science knowledge acquired is relevant at work, I'll say it is. I've had occasions to apply theoretical Computer Science knowledge in solving some problems. But that might be so because I develop critical systems where every millisecond counts, so that might not be the norm.

I would advice though that if one is aiming to just become a programmer or be involved in software development in general, then studying Software Engineering is a better choice. Because I've also seen a lot of Computer Science graduates struggle with programming or software development in general.

For anybody still reading this board, this is an excellent post with each paragraph summarizing, otherwise, several broader areas that could form good starting points for further discussions.

Efewestern:
All I did was to counter your statement comparing Iran with Iraq or Libya.

If US was to Attack Iran, Both countries will bleed! Iran infrastructure will be badly damaged, but so many body bags will be heading to US, and this is what Americans won't accept. Unless you have a genuine reason to start a war with Iran, else the protest in Several cities will force US to end the war before it even starts.

I would have schooled you about how Iran's territory is a better place to fight defensive battles, but I really don't have time for that.

Your submission interest me. I think it's very sufficient when you put it in context.

However, when Humans fight, how willing each parties are ready to lose their humanity to win is, perhaps, the utmost determinant of how the battle unfolds.

If the Humans were robots in the US and without hearts, it will take far less time for them to achieve complete success in any confrontation with the robots of Iran.

The fact Humans are not "yet" robots is why the world is still livable.

Mhen. Make dem move am forward Abeg. more than a month away still

How I wish Chelsea could sign Coutinho now if not for the Ban. I'd even like Chelsea to sign dembele as Hazard's replacement.

Barca stockpiling players like sardines. As a fan, you've just got to respect Klopp and Pep with the way they operate at Liverpool and City. Greizemann is a good player but I'm not sure if he's needed at Barca, unless they're letting Suarez go.

Barca are clearly hurting from their exit against Roma and Liverpool in the CL. But they're mistaken if they think their problems was lack of firepower. I'll agree to say they "collapsed" against Roma. But against Liverpool? Na na, never. Barca were extremely fortunate to be winning the first leg 3 goals to nil.

Overloading the attack only works against smaller teams you're expecting to dominate like Eibar and Real Zaragoza. But against elite teams you'll face in the CL, I don't see how that's helpful. Barca will never dominate teams like Liverpool and City in the CL for 90 minutes. When they lose the ball against such teams is when you'll understand that having Messi, Suarez, greizemann, and Neymar in a lineup becomes a liability because they won't defend adequately.

troubleseller:
Have you seen the latest episode?

No. Probably won't until it's concluded. I'm tempted though

I like where the story is going - I mean, they have to exploit the talents of their A - list casts.

troubleseller:
I don tell them say make they come explain how the current season of both of those series are bad as they say. You know say sometimes na crowd mentality dey worry us. Abeg collect.

Korrect .

MariaLavina:
Over sharing.




I know men only share things ( talk about everything that happens in their everyday lives) with someone they are comfortable but sometimes I just can't deal. Most times I pretend to listen and enjoy it.

Example

Boo: bae today was nice, do you remember my friend I told you about? The one I attended the same high school....... we met today, he's the new CEO of......

Me: (in my mind : 'can you just shut it please') Oh yes! what's his name again?

Boo: Ted! he played a prank..........

Me: (Oh God, shoot me already) That's gross !

Boo: Today he blew me off at the *** meeting , his speech on *** was splendid...

Me: (sigh) Nice.

Boo: Are you okay?

Me: (Hell no! shut your mouth!) I'm fine, I'm sorry just that I have a lot on my mind. I think I need some rest.( actually my ears need some rest )

Boo: Alright, I will gist you later nah.

Me: (I hope that later never comes) Thanks love.


Sometimes ehn relationship is a big work.

Aha? Really? And I'm hoping there's someone out there who wouldn't assume something is wrong if I don't say a word to her from morning till night, even while being in the same room.

FreeSpirited:
Bitchiness, nagging too loud and creating scenes either in public or at home when we have issues....I hate those lousy traits in woman..it makes them looks like shit to me no matter their beauty I quickly start contemplating break up. I want peace, I hate stress or avoidable quarell.

Some women no get sense, small issue like this and they start shouting and cussing up and down..... If u try that with me and after warning u, u dint heed, then your days are numbered with me. All I need is peace.

Bros, this is the most dreaded trait of a woman I fear the most. I'd prefer a cheating woman than someone who can literally drive me crazy by doing all those things you have said above.

I'll be looking to deliberately provoke any prospective partner just to see how she reacts to disagreement, disapproval, and disappointment.

People can be generally peaceful and nice when things go their way. It's when it goes against them that you discover the REAL PERSONALITY under the hood.

Hearing The Handmaids Tale S3 and Big little lies S2 are a mess so far but am still going to binge after they wrap up...makes me wonder sometimes why some show runners decides to stretch some show plot lines till they become useless. I loved Sharp Objects because they stuck with the source material but rumours are flying about that the show runners are open to the possibility of an S2 deviating from the source material.

Over the weekend, a friend made me broke my unwritten rule of only binge-watching. Hence, I've seen 4 episode of Big Little Lies S2. I know the reviews this season is not as unfavorable as The Handmaids tale going by comments on this thread, I still want to point out that ANY such unfavorable reviews yet are simply unwarranted.

Big Little Lies from what I've seen has been great. In my opinion, it's better than season one. People who complain do so because S2 is probably less humorous and witty like S1. That's because the Story this season has become more intense and involved, serious and with more depth and diverging plotlines. Let's say so many shiits just got real. The ending of season one clearly indicates this.

Chibudollar:
a very dope show with 6 episodes each season so that means they go straight to the point. Unlike some shows with 20 something episodes

That's a good omen. I'm more interested in seeing it now since it'll build quickly.

The amount of cigarettes Tommy have smoked in peaky blinders ehh. I don't think any other actor have smoked that number before every chapter baba will pop out one cigar.

I'd bet he doesn't blow smoke like Rust Cohle in True Detective .

I think it's high time I see this Peaky blinders though. Heard so much about it and it's even on HIS LIST
