this year, 22. Began from the basics, HTML, CSS, but my laptop just spoilt now. It's a self-taught process since there's no money to pay for physical teaching. I'm using w3school.


please house, how can I improve myself and increase my zeal? sometimes I can go a week+ without even touching my system. Someone told me it's because I do not have a project I'm working on yet, but I'm still learning the basics. How can I improve?

saw this article online and decided to share it, while I don't know the author, the article is an eye opener!! lengthy but worth it!!


*BIAFRA IS A STATE OF BEING*
Until we have achieved that state of being, the desired geopolitical region remains at risk. So we must pursue both tasks together.

And the State of Being is as follows:
We have to do as the Catalonians do in Spain.
When they realized that the Castelianos (Madrid) will never voluntarily or easily give them Independencia, the Catalonians (Barcelona) decided to turn inwards and develop their region Technologically, Economically and Infrastructurally - and now they are the economic powerhouse of Spain.

The same thing is with Bayern in Germany. When Germany was declaring itself as a nation, Bayern (Bavaria) had the choice to stay out and be a country on its own (like Austria did) . Instead it opted to stay within a greater Germany and become it's best part. Today Bavaria is the most technologically and economically powerful region in Germany - and it has the whole of Germany now as its primary and biggest market.

The same thing is with California in the USA.
It's not only the biggest economy WITHIN the US, it's also the 6th largest economy in the World!
However, this is only because it is within the US and can leverage on all the synergies that come with that, that it can be so powerful.
If it were suddenly to try to break away overnight to stand alone, as a competitor against the rest of the US, things would not be so easy.

Nigeria does not fear IPOB as it is. *In fact, they WANT IPOB to challenge them, so they can militarily wage war on the Igbos.*
IPOB at present is not the Biafra that Nigeria fears.
They fear the Biafra that becomes like Catalonia, like Bavaria, like California.
That's the Biafra they fear.
*So they NEED this militant IPOB to give them an excuse to come and reduce Ala-Igbo to a wasteland again and turn back the hands of our clock once more to Zero, like they did in the last Civil War.*
*Even if we don't want and don't start any hostilities, they will use the slightest excuse or provocation or accident to send in their troops. Britain will support them and in the end USA will establish a military base in Igbo Land, to keep the peace. And that is how we will become occupied territory.*

*We have to be smart, and shift the battle to the field where we can win.*

What I am saying is this: *yes we will continue to ask for Referendum, like Catalonia does in Spain, like Scotland does in Great Britain.*
*But it is not Referendum that will give us the Biafra we need. And of course It is not guns that will give us Biafra, that we know.*
*As Igbos, we have to conquer our chronic INDIVIDUALISM - and we have to pool our wealth, intelligence and efforts together to turn Ala-Igbo into a First World region, right here and now. But this is the most difficult thing for us because we are individualists! It is easier to protest.*

The second point is: Our Governors. As much as we don't like them, we have to work on them and with them.

*If IPOB mobilises the people against the Governors, the same way it is mobilising them against the Federal Govt, you will see how fast things will change.*
What will the governors do? Start shooting their own people? If any governor does that, where will that governor run to hide from the people's revenge? They have nowhere to hide. Your State is your home - so they MUST listen to the people. *If the people are united, (and IPOB can unite the people because IPOB is very powerful), they MUST start DEMANDING ACCOUNTABILITY from EVERY elected official in the South East.*

Demand that they invest in INFRASTRUCTURES. Roads and transportation. Potable water. Drainage systems. Housing. Health. Education. Tax breaks for small businesses. Regional economic integration. *Constitute expert groups accross every field from within and the diaspora to develop and advice on the framework for regional development.*

*Instead of going to Abuja, the Governors should come together, put money together from their budget and start building a second Niger Bridge. Start dredging the River Niger at Onitsha. Start developing the dry port at Abia. Start NOW and make it mandatory that EVERY South East governor prioritize regional integration. Taxes and tarrifs for business MUST come down to encourage investors.*

*Computer Village in Lagos is full of Igbos.
*The governors and leadership should put their moneys together and build TECHNOLOGY TOWN in Aba. Follow up on Geometrics power project in Aba by Prof Barth Nnaji, with a view to completely electrifying Ala-Igbo.*

*Put their money together and elevate Enugu Airport to a level HIGHER than Lagos or Abuja airport.*
Things like that. *Developing the Owerri Airport to a full international cargo airport and take advantage of the central location of Owerri in the South East.* Quality educational institutions are lacking in the East even though we constantly produce the highest number of applicants to universities. *Let us build more by collaboration with our foreign diaspora. They're the best in many parts of the world. Lets harness this advantage.*
*We need a world class Stock Exchange in Ala-Igbo. We can achieve that without the Federal government, because we own trading. Encourage our diaspora to work with government to establish and run QUALITY WORLD CLASS HEALTH CARE institutions in Ala-Igbo.*

*IPOB has already come up with a blueprint for an Igbo-wide democratic customary government, the people's government, very republican in nature, and this is good. THIS IS POWER.* Ironically, it might even be according to the Nigerian constitution. *If peacefully achieved, this can be the leverage with which to control the elected executive and legislative levels, if Nigeria stays together. And if Nigeria falls apart, then automatically we already have a framework state in operation.*

However, IPOB must win Igbo people over by championing their welfare with their own governors and officials. Threaten them with no re-election and criminal prosecution if they fail to serve their people. They must also encourage the training, standardization, integration and sharing of information by the different state security groups to stamp out crimes like robbery, kidnapping, human trafficking, etc. We are Igbo. We are in the communities and we know those who are into crime. People MUST start explaining their sources of wealth. *IPOB can utilize its huge following to ensure crime is wiped out and good governance is entrenched in the South East.* Then *IPOB* and possibly Nnamdi Kanu, would ever be remembered kindly by history.

*If we are doing things like all these, Arewa will not need to issue quit notice - NDIGBO will come back in droves to build up Ala-Igbo.*

*Is it beyond the Igbo to venture into modern and very lucrative cattle rearing and be the leaders in all of Africa? Are we not known to come late into any venture and excel beyond those in it for centuries? *** *The governors in Ala-Igbo should AS A MATTER OF URGENCY introduce RANCHING across Ala-Igbo for prospective and enterprising *IGBO CATTLE FARMERS, after which they will enact, implement and execute ANTI OPEN-GRAZING LAWS in their States, then call on all indigenes and States security groups to participate in monitoring its implementation.*
*This will empower all Igbos and we will rid ourselves of these Fulani Herdsmen in no time.*
* *This is priority. Every passing day is too much.*

*Ekiti State did it.*
*Benue State has done it.*
*It's not impossible.*
*Why cannot the States of the South-East ALL do it as ONE?*
*Anti Grazing Law.*
*This will shake the Nigerian Govt more than asking for referendum.*

*IPOB has power. If they use it wisely they can bring about tremendous change in Ala-Igbo without a single blood shed. They are uniquely positioned by God at this period in time to use their massive following and break the individualistic Igbo trait to bring about change that will positively shape Igbo history for generations.* _If they misuse it by going the route of war, that didnt work decades ago, then it would be a great loss indeed._

If Nigeria stays together, Ala-Igbo can become the most advanced region of Nigeria if we START NOW.
If Nigeria breaks up, we have to be ready to survive on our own. *And at this moment, we are not yet ready. This is where we need to put our eyes into. Because the ball is already rolling.*

*What we want is for people to come and start investing in Ala-Igbo, from all over the world. They will do this massively if they see the political will and infrastructures being laid down in Ala-Igbo.*
_If that happens, everybody will protect Igbo land._ *Biafra will grow from within.* Let Nnamdi Kanu, all Igbo leaders and thinkers read this and run with it.

***I'm sending this to you so you can spread it to Ndigbo who are amongst your contacts so that this consciousness can spread and be built on. *Lets develop Ala-Igbo from within.*
Ka Chi Ukwu no n'Igwe n'edu anyi n'Uwa gozie okwu a ka o wee mee. *Yameenu.*

YomiYarzo:
Well your illustration looks like a short sighted view of the situation
every Nigerian is at liberty to transact legitimate business anywhere in the world or pursue education, your analysis makes it look like
opting for foreign education contributes to this issue.
With all the monies budgeted for and allocated to both federal and states universities there is no excuse for Nigerian universities not to be the best in africa attracting interest from foreign students and providing a source of revenue for the country.
The Naira/Forex issue is indeed a complex one requiring a practical solutions from industry experts
lets look at CBN policies today.
My opinion is these policies bites hard on the masses, why should should Nigerian be made to suffer this much,
Am not a finance expert neither am i an economics expert but a concerned Nigerian simply speaking from the impact of the CBN and it's money polices. Today Banks can no longer accept dollar deposits, you cannot use your ATM abroad for international transactions, banks don't have BTA to give to those travelling, i cannot send money in dollar out of the country, i cannot decide to open a domiciliary account and transfer the dollar equivalent from my Naira account. the general trend is i have to go to the black market of i need Forex for a legitimate business

CBN on one hand has been promoting cashless policy and on the other hand fueling the growth of a cash based parallel (Black) market which i find hard to understand

Some questions i need answers to;
- Why do we need the parallel market? it is clear that this market is not as regulated as the banking industry. i can buy dollars from an 'aboki' on the road side as long as am ready to part with as much as 262 Naira to a dollar undocumented today.
- Also is this market not an avenue to launder stole public fund?
- A 50,000 naira paycheck in Jan.2015 carries much more value that the same pay check in in December 2015 and considering the fact up to 50% of what is required in the average home is imported from shoes to clothes, electronics and in some cases food and sold to Nigerian at parallel market rate dollar conversion, is this not crises in the making?
- If the banks do not accept dollar deposit, and cannot give dollars for legitimate business and personal transactions, forcing individuals and business to result to the black market, are the Banks not failing to carry if primary function as an organization? Is CBN not encouraging illegal undocumented transactions by allowing this market?
- Why is it that CBN policies is further creating a panic about dollar scarcity which directly benefits the black market. Banks don't have Forex yet parallel market has got loads to sell

Am of the opinion that CBN policies right now should be enabling Nigerian banks to handle all legitimate personal and business transactions requiring foreign currencies. I think we should be seeing policies like a complete closure of the Parallel (black) market and all other illegitimate Forex source, while all legitimate transactions should go to the bank. This will immediate reduce the pressure on dollars:
- As people hoarding dollars at home right now would be able to dump them in the bank
- Dollars becomes available in the banks for legitimate personal and business transactions
- The arbitrary black market rate will no longer be there as banks will have better rates even with commission charged

Also right now CBN should be educating the public with statistics like
- Weekly/monthly Forex demand/consumption for legitimate personal and business transactions
- How it plans to strengthen the Naira over the next 6 months
- How the economy moves for dependent of foreign products to strengthening local production and export of local produce


Experts in the House please kindly share your views on all these Naira/Forex brouhaha

God bless you real good for this submission..your intellectual prowess is amazing!

hello nairalanders please help a bro in need..

I just got admission into UNN for combined social science, and the combination i want to take it economics and philosophy..this is because i would like to change course next year to pure economics.

But the problem is this; i dont know how hard that combination would be..i wouldnt want anything that would jeopardize the possibility of changing course because my parents really want me to be an economist and its a course i've always loved.

please what do you suggest i do? should i take economics and philosophy? if no,what other options are available for me to combine so that i can switch over easily to economics in my 200l. also due to thr fact that my name came out a lil late on the admission list am behind in lectures and stuffs..so please your opinions are needed!! thanks

If you have any linux distro like ubuntu, install it and wipe out windows. You can then re-install windows. Have used that trick before to fit a windows 7 lappy that refuse to boot proper. It may work for you, but you try it at your own risk..........

abeg sir how do i get this ubuntu stuff.. Ion mind wiping the windows out..

KINGSNEEZE:
If the system have a backup u can run the backup. But if it doesn't have backup then u go ahead and format it, trying using Windows. Operating system it will save u lots of stress....but am believing u have tried to boot from the last known configuration, this term is Microsoft language that tells the computer dump d new software and make everything appear d way it was...it will take u back to the way it was before u install the anti virus.just restart d computer using d power button as it is coming press and hold. F8 the scroll down to d option u want which is the last known configuration. This might help

i can't enter safe mood with f8 as its disabled in windows8.. I can't enter last known configuration or even format the system.. When i tried formatting it, it would just stop at starting setup.. Pls this is really urgent i'll appreciate ur input sir
