Education / Please, A Serious Advice Is Needed Here For A Not-well- Brilliant Person. by Jetland(m): 1:28pm On Feb 28, 2016
I have asked for some helps here in previous times, and i got satisfactory responses. I know this one will not be left out. I finished my higher school few years ago and now i want to further my education since it's obvious that it sounds very ridiculous to know that one is a school cert when he/she is no longer a kid. There are good courses that i would love to opt for, but whenever i think about how i went through my secondary school period, i have the feeling within me that it's a wise decision for me to choose a course that doesn't require much calculations though i studied science course in secondary school. What i mean is that i dont want to choose a course that involves much physics, chemistry and maths. Please can anyone advise me on which course i can choose that doesnt require much calculation because that is one of the problems that i have. This is as a result of what i experienced during my secondary school times. I left my dad while in JSS 2, so i had to take the mantle of self-sponsorship before i could finish my secondary school. Back then i was used to do some labours to pay my school fees. and when ever i have to do some labours to pay my school fees, i would have to suspend school to achieve that. I wonder why i was not expelled from school since they hardly see me in school.
I could count the number of days i attended lectures in every terms. Please i need help here seriously. I dont know if the mod can help me take this to the front page though i know it doesnt worth it.

Politics / Breaking News: INEC Declares Yahaya Bello Kogi Governor-elect by Jetland(m): 7:33am On Dec 06, 2015
The Independent National Electoral Commission has declared the candidate of the All Progressives Congress, Alh. Yahaya Bello as the winner of the Kogi governorship poll.

APC polled 247,752 votes to defeat PDP who came a strong second with 204,877 votes. In today’s supplementary poll, APC polled 6885 votes to beat PDP which polled 5363 votes.ININEC declares Yahaya Bello Kogi Governor-Elect

Declaring the results in Lokoja, the Chief Returning Officer for the election, Prof. Emmanuel Kucha, who is the Vice Chancellor of the Federal University of Agriculture, Makurdi, said having fulfilled all legal requirements, Alh. Yahaya Bello is declared winner of the election and Kogi Governor-Elect.

Kucha declared: “That Yahaya Bello, having polled the highest number of votes and satisfied the law is hereby returned elected”.

The collation of results was temporarily paused when an unidentified agent of the PDP asked about the status of APC running mate. But the Resident Electoral Commissioner said Faleke remains the running mate to Alh. Yahaya Bello. The supplementary poll took place in 18 of the 21 Local Government Areas in the state.

Immediately the results were announced, the streets of Lokoja, Kotonkarfe and Okene erupted in jubilation as people poured into the streets in hundreds to celebrate the victory.

At Isanlu, Bello Support Organization said it is victory for democracy.

Speaking exclusively to Vanguard at Isanlu, Chief Strategist of the organization, Abdulrasaq Ashiru said Yahaya Bello is God-sent for Kogi redemption.

In his words: “This is the moment we have been waiting for; the moment of history. This is the time we have worked for; the hour of renaissance. Generations after us will be told the history of this day.

“You can see the state-wide jubilation. That is the level of acceptance of the man, Yahaya Bello. He is the symbol of a new direction for our dear state. It is high time we placed emphasis on the factors that unite us. We are one people.

“To the people’s governor, the time for ethnic equality is now. We must be united by the actions of government so that we can move forward as a state”.

Also, a former Chairman of Okene Local Government Area, Hon. Saliu Ohize told Vanguard that Yahaya Bello’s victory os a product of the works of the late political leader of Ebiraland, Sen. A.T. Ahmed.

“Today, I am shedding tears of joy and regret. Joy in the sense that a great governor has emerged. Regret in the sense that our leader, Sen. A.T. Ahmed is not here today to savour the fruits of his labour”.

When our reporters contacted the governor-elect, Alh. Yahaya Bello, he said the victory belongs to all Kogites, asking everybody to rally round him to translate the victory to a success. He is expected to address the press soon.

Politics / APC Picks Yahaya Bello As Audu’s Replacement by Jetland(m): 6:55am On Nov 28, 2015
After extensive consultations, the All
Progressives Congress (APC) yesterday
submitted the name of Yahaya Bello as the
party’s new candidate for Kogi governorship
supplementary poll.
Bello replaces Prince Abubakar Audu, who died
last weekend after leading the poll with
41,000.
It was also learnt that the APC has retained
Hon. James Abiodun Faleke as the party’s
deputy governorship candidate.
Mohammed Audu, the son of the late
governorship candidate, was dumped by the
party because the party felt that fielding him
might vitiate the entire governorship poll in the
state.
But the people of Kogi West were mounting
pressure on Faleke yesterday not to accept the
nomination of Bello.
Although they asked Faleke to withdraw from
the race, the deputy governorship candidate
was yet to make up his mind on the next step
at press time.
Investigation by our correspondent revealed
that APC leaders, with the backing of some
forces in the Presidency, opted for Bello
because he came second in the party’s
primaries behind Audu.
It was also gathered that the APC leaders felt
there was no way Mohammed Audu could be
fielded as a compromise candidate since he
was not a candidate in the primaries.
A top source in APC said: “Our leaders met
and after consultations reached a conclusion
on the choice of Yahaya Bello from Kogi
Central as the party’s governorship candidate
to substitute the late Prince Abubakar Audu.
“The leaders arrived at the conclusion because
Bello was second to Audu at the validly
conducted governorship primaries of the party.
Instead of running into crisis with fresh
primaries, the party opted to dust up the
result of the previous one which was
witnessed by INEC.
“A letter, signed by the National Chairman of
APC, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, on the choice
of Bello has been submitted to the
Independent National Electoral Commission
(INEC) on Friday.”
Asked of other factors behind the choice of
Bello, the top APC leader said: “Our leaders
bought into the idea that Faleke is strange to
the politics of the state, having had most of
his political career in Lagos. They felt it is
better for him to learn the ropes in the state
before becoming a governor.
“They also argued that the choice of Bello will
ensure power shift in the state and since the
Ebiras were behind Audu, it won’t be difficult
to foster understanding between Kogi East and
Kogi Central Senatorial Districts.
“Do not forget that Kogi East had already
produced the minister from the state.
“Another important factor is that some of the
91 polling units where elections were cancelled
are in Kogi Central, and it will be easier to
mobilize the electorate in the district to get
the required votes to defeat the PDP
candidate, Governor Idris Wada.
“There was also some conspiracy behind the
refusal of the ticket for Faleke. Some
presidency forces stamped their feet that he
must not be allowed to step into Audu’s
shoes because of internal power struggles in
APC.
“I won’t give you names but the forced were
more powerful than Oyegun and other NWC
members.”
On the dumping of Mohammed Audu, the
source said: “Our leaders were guided by
Section 141 of the Electoral Act. If we choose
him, the entire election will be voided.
“The section says: ‘An election tribunal or
court shall not under any circumstance declare
any person a winner at an election in which
such a person has not fully participated in all
the stages of such election.
“We love the Audus but we cannot take such a
big risk. If Wada and PDP go to court, they
will win against Mohammed Audu.”
As press time, there was pressure on Faleke
by the people of Kogi West to opt out of the
race.
A different source said: “There are many
options open to Faleke but the people of Kogi
West want him to withdraw from the race. If
Yahaya Bello gets the ticket, he might be
reduced to a dummy deputy governor.
“Unless Faleke can fight his cause in court and
claim his mandate, he will be frustrated as a
deputy governor. If he quits, the party will
have justification for bringing Mohammed
Audu and Kogi West will be politically
alienated.”

Politics / APC May Declare Yahaya Bello As Audu’s Replacement by Jetland(m): 3:43pm On Nov 26, 2015
By Kingsley Fanwo
Ahead of the historic decision to be announced
by the National Working Committee of the All
Progressives Congress in Abuja today, strong
indications have shown that Yahaya Bello may
be declared as the candidate of the party ahead
of the December 5 supplementary poll of the
party.
A member of the National Working Committee
who craved anonymity confided in Vanguard that
the decision to field Yahaya Bello was informed
by his status as the runner-up up in the
governorship primaries of the party, held on
August 29 at the Confluence Stadium, Lokoja.
According to the NWC member, the party may
shelve the fresh primaries earlier proposed and
declare Yahaya Bello as replacement for the late
Prince Abubakar Audu.
In his words: “We have been working round the
clock to resolve the Kogi issue. INEC has given
us the green light to come up with a
replacement for the late Prince Abubakar Audu.
Initially, we thought of organizing a fresh
primary election. But with the current scenario,
we have resolved to follow advice from informed
quarters in order not to play into the hands of
the PDP.
“Bringing a fresh candidate now may throw up
some legal issues as the primary we had in
August has not been voided. As a party of
change, we have to ensure we do things in
accordance with the law.
“We are presently building consensus around the
decision as we need to put our house in order
before making any announcement”.
The source however said there were still a
handful of opposition from powerful quarters
against the nomination of Yahaya Bello but that
the presidency is insisting on the party towing
the path of constitutionalism on the Kogi
governorship issue.

Kogi is like a very big dry village
calling the whole Kogi state "big dry village" shows that you have not been to the place in your lifetime. It also shows that you have never traveled from your village ever since you were born. I have an assignment for you. since you have not been to OKENE before, Google search "OKENE town" and glance through some buildings there if they look like your cursed village. people with deluded brains.

Politics / Why Kogi Needs Change Of Leadership by Jetland(m): 11:38am On Oct 12, 2015
The people of Kogi Central and Kogi West in Kogi State are now going through serious siege mentality because the people of Kogi East, the Igalas have colonized them since the creation of Kogi State in 1991 and are now ready more than ever before to maintain the status quo in perpetuity . What is more glaring ! the Igalas have emerged as the governorship candidates of the two major political parties in the State, APC and PDP for the governorship election scheduled for 21st of November, 2015. Immediately after the two times former governor of Kogi State, Prince Abubakar Audu emerged as the APC flag bearer in the State, investigations and personal observations revealed that Igalas everywhere were congratulating each other and or one another. Why the congratulations everywhere on an election that has not been conducted and won by anyone? The answer is that now, heador tail, they believe the governor of Kogi State is once again theirs. If Audu wins and Alhaji Ibrahim Jibril Echocho is not going to get the ticket of PDP in 2019, he (Echocho) will be prevailed upon to defect to APC so that Audu can hand over to him. Where Echocho secures the ticket of PDP in 2019, Audu would work for him even as APC governor. This anti-party activity will mean nothing to him as far as the Igala Agenda remains intact according to rumours making the rounds. I will now trace this long-standing Igala Agenda. Immediately Prince Abubakar Audu became the first governor of the newly created Kogi State in 1991, the Igalas are believed through what they say and do to have come up with this Agenda that what happened to them when they were in Benue State that they never tasted Political power as governor must also happen to the Ebiras and the Okuns. This Agenda is without prejudice to the fake Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)according to Abubakar Audu between him and the late Chief Sunday Awoniyi and Alhaji Sule Okene in his residence in Okene concerning rotation of governorship between the Igalas, the Ebiras and the Okuns. The first knowledge of this Igala Agenda was Audu argument that he was not disposed to hand over political power to the Ebiras because as he put it, Okene in Ebiraland is already the London of Kogi State! To concretise this Agenda, Audu created 15 additional Local Government Areas from the original six that came with the State and which was two each from the three Senatorial Zones that make up the State, Of the 15 new L.G.A, he gave Kogi East 7, Kogi West 5 and Kogi Central 3. Yes, Mission accomplished! It is based on this number of L.G.A he shared political appointments and other positions and resources. While the Igalas are given 65-70%, 30% to the Okuns, Ebiras are usually given 10% or so. National and State resources, Political positions and appointments are not shared according to populations of the federating States or L.G.A alone. Other criteria include equality of States or L.G.A, availability of natural resources (derivation principle) and so on. Unfortunately for the Ebiras and the Okuns, this is what the Igalas have been doing since the Sexteen years they have been ruling us in line with an Agenda they consider to be sacrosanct. I used the word fake for the so-called MOU referred to earlier in this article because of the later actions and utterances of the Igalas. Audu transferred all the operating equipment of Obangede School of Nursing in Okehi L.G.A. to Igalaland. The School of Nursing was established when the Ebiras were in Kwara State and it was second of its kind in the State then. Many Igalas were alleged to have said that their men, women, wives and in-laws would continue to rule the Ebiras and the Okuns in perpetuity. Another demonstration of the existence of the Igala Agenda was by Governor Idris Wada when he was incapacitated for more than three months in hospital as a result of motor accident. Impeachment was staring him in the face in line with the constitutional provision. He was said to have discharged himself from his sick bed, used his walking-stick to his awaiting Vehicle to go quickly and enter his office so that no non-Igala person would sit in the Lugard Hall as acting governor even for a day! This is because if he had been impeached, the then speaker of the State House of Assembly, Honourable Abdullahi Bello, an Ebira man would have acted as governor for six months in line with the constitutional provision before election is conducted to elect a new governor. Audu was quoted to have argued that he wants to be the governor of Kogi State again for the third time instead of an Ebira man because he would not be able to control an Ebira governor in the State. Who Controlled him when he was governor of the State two times? In what capacity does he want to control the governor of Kogi State? Is he the Chairman or Leader of the party in the State? In fact, no Chairman or Leader of any party controls the governor of any State today anymore. Yet, this is the same Audu some person in Ebiraland believe will hand over to him as governor of Kogi State in 2019 if he wins again. The former Prime minister of Britain, Wilson Churchill said: I will not be the first Prime Minister to preside over the liquidation of the British Empires. I bet those Ebiras with blind political ambition and other doubting Thomas that no Igala man, woman, wife or In-law will relinquish power to another person other than Igala in Kogi State. The late Alhaji Abdulrahaman Okene as Secretary of Interior, Alhaji Aliyu attah as the Inspector General of Police and retired General Salihu Ibrahim as the Chief of Army Staff during former president Ibrahim Badamasi Babaginda regime were instrumental to the creation of Kogi State in 1991. Assuming the Igalas are magnanimous enough to appreciate the contribution of the aforementioned people to hand over political power to the Ebiras at their own chosen time, are we supposed to wait for that? When off course, we can fight for it and collect it from them when they are not more than the Ebiras and the Okuns combined together. I will return to the question of population very soon. Prince Abubakar Audu is not actually qualified to be governor of Kogi State again on legal and moral grounds. Having taken the oath of office as governor of Kogi State first on the 22nd January, 1992 and second time on the 29th May, 1999, he is disqualified to vie for the same position the third time. As a result of the annulment of June 12 presidential election by president Ibrahim Badamasi Babaginda and the coming on board of the late General Sani Abacha on the 18th of November, 1993, Audu first tenure/term was shortlived, having spent only one year, ten months. However, Prince Audu completed his second term from the 29th of May, 1999 to the 29th May, 2003. This is where he is again disqualified from seeking the same office a third time as he has spent five years, ten months previously. If he contests again and win, all other things being equal, he will spend another four years, plus the previous 5 years, 10 months, making 9 years, 10 months. This is above the cumulative 8 years recommended by the constitution and he swore two times to protect and preserve the content of the constitution both in its letters and spirit. His moral burden serves as a disqualification for him. His indictment by the EFCC in 2007 for siphoning a whooping eleven billion naira from Kogi State coffers led to his disqualification by INEC during the April 14 2007 governorship election. INEC had used the EFCC indictment and arrest and uncompleted prosecution to disqualify him, even when his then party, ANPP cleared him. His case with the EFCC is still pending today. Since the emergence of Prince Abubakar Audu as the flag bearer of APC in the forthcoming governorship election in Kogi State, there has been a lot of disquiet among the Ebiras and Okuns. The questions on the lips of the people are: 1. Why APC with the slogan of Zero tolerance for corruption allow the likes of Audu to contest in an election under its platform? 2. Why has EFCC been sleeping over this celebrated case since 2007? The answer to the first question we think is an oversight on the part of the leadership of APC then since the stand of the party on the former governor of Baylsa State, Timipre Sylva should and must be the stand of the party on other aspiring members of the party like Audu and others. People who lave cases with EFCC and other anti- corruption agencies must first clear their names before they can contest in any election. This is because what is good for the geese is good for the ganda. For the second question, we strongly believe that for whatever reason the EFCC has been sleeping over Audu case, it is a slap by Audu on the faces of all anti- graft agencies in general and EFCC in particular for coming out to contest again. The concerned Ebiras and Okuns would want the EFCC to reopen Audu case without further delay. On the population of Kogi State, I would like to argue that it is criminal for the Igalas to have been cornering 70% of the resources, Political positions and appointments into the State Civil Service for 16 years now just because they are more in number than the Ebiras or the Okuns. Some of them say that it is because they are more than the other two senatorial districts combined together. This is a pathological lie. No one senatorial district has more people than the other two in any State in Nigeria. There are 3 senators from each State irrespective of the population. Everything cannot be based on population. Ditto for governors: One State, one governors, One State, One Minister. That is why the two biggest States of Kano and Lagos with 44 L.G.A and with over 9 million people and 20 L.G.A with over 9 million people respectively have the same number of 3 senators and one governor with the two smallest State of Bayelsa and Nasarawa with 8 L.G.A and 13 L.G.A. and with less than 2 million people each respectively. According to the 2006 Census final results, the population of the Ebiras and the Okuns combined together are 355,755 more than that of the Igalas CENSUS RESULT FOR KOGI STATE: KOGI CENTRAL 1. Adavi 217, 219 2. Ajaokuta 122, 432 3. Ogori Magongo 39, 807 4. Okehi 223, 754 5. Okene 325, 623 TOTAL: 928, 655 KOGI EAST 1. Ankpa 266, 176 2. Bassa 139, 687 3. Dekina 260, 968 4. Idah 79, 755 5.

Kogi West – 27% From this data, the Ebiras and the Okuns are 355, 755 people more than the Igalas. Yet, these people are usually given about 30% to share while the Igalas cart away 70% of whatever is available to share in Kogi State for the past 16 years now! This population figure must have changed substantially in favour of the Ebiras and the Okuns in the past 9 years now. While the Igalas are almost 50-50 per cent muslims and Christians and the Muslims there are permitted by their religion to marry more than one wife thereby giving births to more children than their Christian brothers, the Ebiras and the Okuns are between 70 to 80 per cent Muslims and that means more population in those two senatorial districts than the other one in the past 9 years. Audu Stated that he wants to be the next governor of Kogi State because most of the people jostling for the position are inexperienced and are mostly school certificate holders! Why all this hocus pocus by Audu and some Ebiras are allowing themselves to be deceived by him? Whoever he had in mind cannot include senator Nurudeen Usman Abatemi, Adinoyi Onukaba Ojo, Alhaji Yahaya Bello, not to talk of our highly respected 8 years Deputy Governor of Kogi State, Chief Philip Salawu. Abubakar Audu was not near Chief Philip Salawu in qualifications when he first ruled Kogi State. Chief Philip Salawu is a qualified and internationally acclaimed Accountant par excellence. He was for 8 years Deputy Governor to Alhaji Idris Ibrahim who is a carpenter cum hotelier. His vast wealth of experience in accounting which he brought to bear on the management of financial and human Capital resources saved Ibrahim Idris administration from insolvency. What we are witnessing today in Kogi State under Captain Idris Wada administration is result of the lack of the likes of Chief Philip Salawu in a high- ranking position at the Government House in Lokoja. Accountants as governors and other forms of Chief Executives are known everywhere to be prudent Managers of both financial and human resources. Chief Philip Salawu is one of the most loyal, hardworking, dynamic and colourful Deputy Governors in Nigeria. The research I carried out on such loyal Deputy Governors revealed that, if they are given opportunity as governor, they are high achievers. Examples include: Babatunde Fashola of Lagos State, present Governor of Kano State, Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and Alhaji Abdulrahaman Shagari, former Deputy Governor of Sokoto if he had been given the ticket by the PDP to contest in Sokoto State and won. Today in Kogi Central and Kogi West, Chief Philip Salawu is our only saving grace. We must thank God he is contesting as Governorship Candidate in Kogi State under the Labour Party. Unless the Ebiras are under curse by the Yoruba elders of Ilorin, as some people believe when the late Alhaji Adamu Attah was Governor of Kwara State and we Manhandled them in their very home, We must rally round Chief Philip Salawu to collect back this position which God gave us during president Babaginda regime and we gave it to the Igalas to enjoy first because we wrongly thought that they are like us. Even if we are under curse, the effect of that curse can be neutralized with our unity the way those elders sat down together, united and cursed us. This now leads me to talk about the Ebira National Dialogue Conference of 20th June, 2015. EPA National President, Dr. Abdulrahaman Musa Adeiza charged the participants thus: Arising from this meeting, I expect this message to be taken to the hamlets, cottages, villages and towns in the senatorial district. This part of his speech gives me the copy right to quote him copiously in this article. Dr. Adeiza said: Our physical boundaries are being daily challenged on all fronts by our, More resolute and united neigbours; Our identity is gradually being attenuated through a well-designed and heavily- funded programmes of the ever domineering, manipulative and insatiable greed of our partners in the State enterprise. Dr. Adeiza continued: While not absolving the collective failure of our Leadership for this failure, the biggest culpability for these breakdown of our society should be laid squarely at the doorstep of the successive regimes of Kogi State since its creation. They have employed marginalization in various forms to deny us a right to humane existence. This oppression and suppression must come to an end henceforth. Ebiras have two cards to play viz; remain in slavish obeisance to our external tormentors and volunteer our historic liberty or jettison all the cleavages that has presented us as weaklings to the world, and close our fingers into a fist to confront our enemies who now see us as less humans and as a pliable objects that could be manipulated to suit their pleasure. The opportunity of the forthcoming governship election presents a veritable space for us to ventilate our anger by uniting with one voice, one choice, one vote to rescue the drowning image of our forebears. It is a war that calls for brains and unity and not brawns. We must all rise to denounce any financial inducements. The present and future generation will hold our leaders, including my humble self-responsible for our failure to deliver victory to our people. The numerical statistics of voting strength is on our side. We must be united behind any candidate that will ensure power shift and rescue us from internal colonization. Where are those Ebira important personalities that attended the Ebira National Dialogue Conference? What are they doing now? Where are Alhaji Usman Enesi Bello and Dr. Abdul Aziz Farouk? They both struggled with the late A.T.Ahmed in Ebiraland to become the governor of Kogi State. Where are they now? Where is Mohammed Ohiare who is representing Kogi Central as our Senator for the second time now? He nearly defected the present Governor of Kogi State in 2011 but later fell by the way side due to the Igala Agenda. Where is he now? Where is Adayi Ademoh Ovurevu Isah? He should step forward to join in this fight. The only Ebira present Philanthropist I know, that A.A. Oil is helping people financially irrespective of tribes or religions should kingly put his weight behind this fight by helping individuals and groups involved in this fight. A.A Oil will never lack in life as givers never lack. Ebira people should emulate the late Ahmadu Bello and A.T. Ahmed who did not differentiate between Muslims and Christians as far as you are a northerner. Ahmadu Bello appointed Professor Ishaya Audu as the pioneer Vice- Chancellor of Ahmadu Bello University. He also appointed the late George Uru Ohikere as his personal Secretary and entrusted him with certain sensitive assignments. He also appointed George Uru Ohikere as Minister of works. The late A.T. Ahmed gave the position of Deputy Governor of Kogi State given to appease him to his loyal, trusted and ever reliable ally, Chief Philip Salawu. This distinguished son of the soil represented the Ebiras in that position for 8 years without any blemish. Ebiras should emulate our Igala brothers and Sisters. Dr. Alex Kadri was more popular than Audu but when the late A.T. Ahmed emerged in Ebiraland, he stepped down for Audu who could match A.T. Ahmed financially and otherwise. Ebiras rallied round Pius Lasisi to defeat Senator Isah Abonyi Obaro because of certain Ebira Agenda then. Here we are again with another Agenda of power shift this time around. The Ebiras should do it again by rallying round Chief Philip Salawu in order for us to also realize our own Agenda. By Isaac Itopa, 08137742740

Am also a wordpress theme developer and a wordpress expert both front end and backend.

what you are seeing is normal when developing a theme to make everything organised.

what has been done is that the theme developer set a 'default' post thumbnail/ featured image for the post incase nothing was set as featured image.

you can remove it this way,

check the wordpress file that has the 'loop', should be the index.php or if 'get_template_part();' was used to get the loop for the post.

you will see


"<?php
if(has_post_thumbail());
the_post_thumbnail();
else
"the default image link you see will be called to load"-----This is the line to remove, and all will be okay as you want it.


i hope it helps.

Webmasters / Urgent Help On Wordpress Post by Jetland(m): 10:16am On Jul 17, 2015
Please webmasters in the house, am having a real time problem with my wordpress post.
Previously i downloaded a wordpress theme that I am using locally on my computer with the intension of moving the website from my local computer to live server when am done with adequate configuration with it. Not only that; because I like the look of the theme, am thinking of buying the theme from the developer as time goes on. But the major hectic moment am passing through now is that, whenever I post any content to the theme on my local computer without am image embedded with the post, it displays something like the below screen short. I know that, that is how the developer built the themes with feature image, probably with java script or PHP.
Here comes my questions: Since the problem is from the themes (how the developed built it), how can I remove the script from the theme so that whenever I post any post without an image attached to it won’t display such an empty image? Is it possible to be removed?
Thanks for your help in advance.

one of the things that gets me confused is that, if I should go to a post office or NIPOST, how do I know which one I should go to? Or do I need to go to all NIPOST or Post offices?

bizfirst:


Sometimes, my dear Jetland, the NIPOST guys are less than honest themselves.

I applied for the card sometime ago and for more than 3 months, received nothing. I contacted Payoneer and a replacement was sent. 3 months again, nothing. And them a 3rd replacement...then again, nothing!!!

When I contacted NIPOST, the staff on seat had the guts to tell me that credit/debit cards are contraband and Customs must have seized my parcel. What?! And this guy was serious!!! To make matters worse, the parcel was not registered so there was no way I could track or tell at what point it was lost...or stolen. My head was literarily boiling - I was broke and I had a lot of dollars waiting to be withdrawn!

I had to eventually ship the card via DHL. This option cost a whopping $60 but I had my 'banned' card at my doorpost in 4 days - just 4 days!

While your case may be slightly different, you may still need DHL at the end. I wish you a better resolution anyway.
thanks so much for this smart advice. I will exercise more patience.

DO I need to go to any post office? to me, I think I will receive a call when the card arrives. please am I missing something here?
