Look at the size of that thing. I refuse to believe this is the work of small boys in the creeks.

I might be wrong sha but it seems the numbers on this ship have even been blacked out. Look at the black patch on that side.

hmmmn, Lets see how the navy will explain allowing a ship this big to sail into nigerian waters and leisurely tap oil.

I googled it. turns out FlexBuilder 4.5 allows you to package an app for IOS and all those other platforms.

Check here. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/air/articles/packaging-air-apps-ios.html

All the best.

considering the iphone doesnt run flash, that might not be true but there are apps that compile to Cocoa and Objective-C. For blackberry and android, am sure flexbuilder libraries/plugins exist for compiling to android and bb respectively but natively (to the best of my knowledge its not possible) no.

Check out the Ripple SDK for Blackberry, it might have such facilities(am not sure).

Flex's core language is ActionScript 3 which happens to be a flavour of Javascript( or ECMA-script if you want to nitpick). If your javascript is strong, picking up actionscript should be easy (you only have to learn the objects to use and the documentation in flexbuilder is superb).

As for its future, well I cant really say but Javascript is here to stay.

I would suggest you master Javascript. That would put you in prime position to use Flex, JQuery, MongoDB and so many new technologies.

I played around with it a while back, I'll answer as much as my much limited knowledge permits.

jhydebaba: OP, change that 1 million to maybe 50000naira since no one here earns 1million a month atleast from the comments.

You should know better. In nigeria and worldwide, most people never have STDs, when they go to their doctor they are usually asking on behalf of 'a friend who is to shy to come herself/himself'. Doctors can see through this and so should you.

I will definitely whip my kids if it ever becomes necessary. However there are many ways to discipline children. A little creativity helps.

A note of warning to one of the earlier posters, using chores as punishment only reinforces the belief that chores are to be avoided. Kids should be made to see them as necessary not avoidable calamities.

fast forward 30 years. the hormones are gone from your system. Your dressing is not cool anymore. your music is jaded and irritating to younger people and worst of all, you are stuck with a tattoo made in a fit of insanity while younger.

Art it is but arrant nonsense too.

Dad:
If someone's being unnecessarily nice, wait for the silent request afterwards, it will always come.
You dont harvest money on trees and therefore ALL men must have budgets. I repeat, a man must have a budget.
Dont leave your work till tomorrow.
Plan weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually.
Dont lie (instilled with a whip).
Fight for whats yours ( Go back and collect your toy from him. Right now!!!!!!)
A man may choose to ignore any other area but must go the extra mile for his children (observed, appreciated and forever respected).AKA Give your kids the unfair advantage :-)
One thing at a time.
Never owe and if you have to, pay up ahead of/on deadline.
Dont expect anyone's gratitude, its a perishable commodity. Do things because you want to not out of expectation.
Be generous.
A man's reputation can save his life.
There's work. There's politics. Both important. all tools in the bag.
A man should know how to kill a chicken, cut meat, descale fish, squeeze agbada, pound yam, put on heavy diesel gens, supervise carpenters/mechanics, read meter/challenge nepa/phcn, prime water pumps, tune tv etc.

Mum:
You must never be a burden to your siblings EVER. Keep that in mind always.
God is all we have.
You are not inferior to any. They may be richer, more beautiful/handsome but you are not their inferior. EVER.
Work all the time you work. Play all the time you play. Dont mix the two.
Never compromise your integrity especially where money and relationships are concerned.
Dont talk too much, learn how to keep secrets.
contrast: Never ever owe.
Never gamble, its a hereditary reason, we dont win lotteries
before Politics come hard work. Politics is usually the final refuge of the incompetent and lazy.
As long as you dont seek your fellow man's downfall, God will have your back.



i could go on and on.

start simple. www.python.org

I think there's a need for an organised response to all these cabal-like professional regulations that try to shoehorn people into boxes to serve sectional economic interests.

Why allow pharmacists to stifle investments by innovative businessmen?

I find it suprising that you waited until final year to choose a project topic.

alkhwarizm: Exactly. Tinubu is biting off of Senegal president Macky Sall and passing the idea off as his own.

I am very ok with copying good ideas from anywhere. as long as they make sense.

The west seems to be going through a resurgence of far-right ideologies. Hence the emergence of all these videos and images. Today its muslims, tomorrow its blacks and next tomorrow: the jews.

Scrap Senate for redundancy reasons. Totally accepted.
Allow INEC chairman select state RECs. Completely accepted.
Possibility of this happening. Not likely at the moment.

Writers needed for next batch of articles. You may apply using the email above.

just a clue as to how much people care about this. see picture below.

God help nigeria oh. Any attempt to separate will result in massive genocide.

Guess I have to thank my illustrious Yoruba ancestors for successfully homogenizing large parts of the southwest. At least aside from any minor intra-Yoruba conflicts, we have less to be scared of.

PH will definitely be one hot zone if a secession happens because of all these self-appointed landlords. Warri too(though I see other tribes getting dragged into that one).

The best bet in nigeria is to stop sharing revenue or political seats on the basis of population otherwise people will start falsifying numbers to gain more for their own sectional and personal interests. Or better still, lets go regional and then each region will be forced to use real figures to administer their territories or risk wastage/economic downturn.

It is well.

[quote author=One_Naira]The best thing to solve this whole dilemma is for the oil company to leave the little in kogi state including the look around they are doing and focus and continue drilling on majority found in anambra and the little in enugu state. If kogi still continue to lay claim of the oil in Anambra then just take the community and the state government to court. That will solve the whole dilemma.[/quote]As long as its the same geological structure that is producing the oil, then it can be drilled and produced from anywhere though I am assuming NNPC will not allow this to degenerate into any such competition.

This is mostly a political battle sha. All Orient has to do is to cap the wells in Kogi and produce from the ones in Anambra, it would still drain the same 'tank' any way but wells are expensive to drill so I guess they just have to work it out with the Kogi govt pending the completion of significant number of wells in Anambra.

Disclaimer: Am neither from Kogi nor Anambra, just wanted to add something to the conversation.

dorox: You should ask your pastor for advice regarding this issue considering the fact that his revenue stream is likely to be negetively impacted especially when more of his herds start adopting this practice of sharing tithe.

and of course ask the car dealer if his rival's car is a good buy.

This is a personal opinion, I dont see why not. As long as you are going to pay the tithe in full(after the total of both payments).

guess their hosting ran out. we should ask the moderator to lock this thread.

bermuda1: whatever happened to TransCorp?

it underperformed and sank in value, killing off many investors in the process.

If I or anyone on this thread have discouraged this person, I thoroughly apologise.

Fast forward a few years and this site comes up with exactly the same content as this poster's idea and its a hit: www.

Sometimes you just have to ignore the naysayers and just execute.

Thinking of putting this on my facebook wall to get a feel for people's opinions.

Slyr0x: Old man. Where did you dig this thread from?

rubs white chin. hehe. dugg'd it from me archives, man.

larez: I give props to all my fellow Lagosians. My Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa Lagosians, who have all been interviewed by me, and have declared that if Lagos were to declare independence, they will dump their passports to become Lagosians. Some even went as far as quoting Yoruba idioms to prove their authenticity. I was very happy to know that we original Lagosians have influenced much of Nigeria to see beyond tribalism.

Lagos happens to be a Yoruba State which has nurtured every Nigerian to feel a sense of belonging. If the rest of Nigeria could follow suit and begin to better educate their people in sophistication and social awareness, the brutes from the jungles will be sent packing back where they belong, and we can all live in harmony. I encourage all you guys to celebrate the diversity of our country Nigeria, and look beyond tribalism which some class of politicians use to divide us.

You should also know that these politicians cannot do it by themselves. They have to use agents who have sold their souls to the devil and will do anything including killing and maiming just to get their hands on money. Life isn't really about cash. We were all born naked and will decay back into the soil. What is truly important is what we do between birth and death. Our focus should be on how we can be of good to each other. Shut down the damned tribalists and criminals amongst us, and let Nigeria begin to soar.

Much luv to y'all and God bless.

Awesome thread. much love.

an eternal question.
