Travel / Re: Beware Of Phone Browsing History When Traveling by kaikubura: 1:18pm On Dec 28, 2023
Noted
Tetraozonaitera:
I just remembered what a younger colleague of mine in the US told me.
When he was traveling to the US years back, he was delayed at the airport by US immigration.
They were interrogating him and some others.
For more than one hour he was delayed. The person waiting to pick him up was worried too as she waited.

He said, one of the interrogating officers asked for his phone and he instantly gave it to him.
He said the first place the guy went to was his browsing history.

"Why did you have to Google AK/47?" The guy asked.

He said when he heard the question he smiled and the guy was surprised.

"Can you answer the question please?" The guy said.

"Can I have my phone back so I can show you why sir?" My guy replied.

The officer handed the phone back to him and my guy went into his picture folder and showed him some photos of himself at work.
He is an artist and shortly before the time of traveling, he was handling a sculpture project of a Soldier. So, he needed the picture references of AK/47 to get a perfect job.

The officer looked at him and got convinced.

He said, some of the other guys were taken to the room for deportation. Some of them were Nigerians and they were already crying.
My guy was freed and he has since been living there.

Be careful of browsing history when traveling.
The devil can use anything to kill someone's joy.

It is quite hard to believe this ugly but seemingly fair development. What could have gone wrong or what is it I didn't do right?

In reminiscence, there was no question asked me that I didn't adequately tackle. I got applaud from my panel and they specifically told me I had done well that I speak persuasively and fluently and I will be best fitted into the corporate communications Division of the Corporation.

They congratulated me but however cautioned me to pray hard that nothing happens to my name that the list was going to move to another committee set up to make final selection... What did that committee not find right in me that I was dropped?

Anyone with useful ideas on how this was done should kindly respond to a brother plz as am so devastated right now. Don't know how to break the news to my ageing mother yet...#Bitter Heart#

Sorry to read this but permit me to tell you that interview panels sometimes would not want to shatter your confidence immediately. They cheer you up even when you're undoing.
I had a similar experience 3 years ago at KPMG's final interview but if you ask me, all I will say is I did well because the man kept smiling and nodding. But deep down, I might just be entertaining him without necessarily meeting up the requirements in his checklist.
Fast forward to now, I'm so grateful to God for not allowing the process to be successful else I will be totally astray for a meager salary.
In a nutshell, stay focused and do not use human expressions to judge your performance. Cheers

Programming / Re: Programmers: At What Age Did You Start Programming? by kaikubura: 7:05am On Dec 02, 2019
I started 9 years ago and in that stretch, I have developed and published several desktop software. Made some dough too grin
I started with Java but I can't recommend it for starters. You should rather go for a simple language like C# or Visual Basic.
If you start with those, it helps you understand syntax constructs which is same in ALL computer languages.
My portfolio carries: C#, VB.net, MATLAB and Python and I do almost everything with them

This headline is highly misleading. What is on ground in Kwara indicates APC leading PDP with a very high margin.

Wow! I read every single word from start to current page. It is quite shocking how hardworking people lose money. One thing for sure is that, through constant learning and not giving up, success is inescapable.

What I indeed noticed was that in doing any business you need to be smart about using all your life savings, no matter how lucrative it seems.

I lost 240k to crypto this year and another 100k to bad debt. I have since moved on.
I will just go back to Fiverr where I provide spreadsheet services (I am an expert in Excel, VBA and PowerBI).

I will advise those online biz enthusiasts in previous comments to freelance with their skills, no initial investment required.

Travel / How The World Will Look Like Without Ocean/water by kaikubura: 10:11am On Jun 13, 2018
Have you ever imagined that the seas and oceans run dry? If you have, then we are not alone but not to worry some animators have helped us visualise this. The earth will look really ugly and it is so shocking to know that the oceans gives the earth its beautiful look.


Here is an animated video of how the world looks like without water:
