Career / Re: How Much is a Good Salary in Nigeria? by larger20(m): 11:25pm On Feb 22, 2010
I make $100,000 a year in US but that is with about 3 years of experience in what I do plus a bachelors and a masters degree. I will make much less if i started fresh and were a fulltime employee however I decided to work as a contractor because of my experience and high demand in my feild and it pays just well.

My company might promote me to a manager role and full time as I have championed all their problems. On a manager role, starting salary for my company is $150,000 a year plus stocks and bonds options as well as bonuses,

Adding all these up, I could easily make about half a million a year. We are in the same line of business with
Morgan stanley and gold man sachs but they have a different salary structure than ours.

I have to say though this is a white mans type of job and not a single black person is in my team, however I am proud to be an american and a nigerian. There is nothing like working on a job with merit and not bribery

Travel / African Migrants Leave Italian Town After Attacks by larger20(m): 8:13pm On Jan 11, 2010
(CNN) -- The message blaring out of the speakers on the van was stark: "Any black person who is hiding in Rosarno should get out. If we catch you, we will kill you."

Abdul Rashid Muhammad Mahmoud Iddris got out.

He's one of hundreds -- perhaps thousands -- of African migrants taken by bus out of the Italian town over the weekend after violent demonstrations shook southern Italy.

The unrest was among the worst of its kind in recent Italian history, said a spokesman for the International Organization for Migration.

"We have not witnessed such protests in a long time," said Flavio Di Giacomo. "There were several thousand, but I don't know exactly how many people were involved."

It was the unprovoked shooting of an African migrant that sparked two days of protests, Iddris told CNN by telephone from Italy.

Iddris lived with other migrants in an abandoned factory outside Rosarno, he said.

On Thursday, a BMW pulled up outside the factory, a man got out, shot one of the Africans living there, and drove off.

A passing policeman told Iddris and his friends it was not his job to help the wounded man, so they called the Red Cross to take the man to a hospital for treatment, Iddris said. Press reports said the man was shot with a pellet gun.

Iddris and his friends decided to march to Rosarno's town hall to protest.

"About 2,000 people came -- all of us," he said. "It started about 6 or 7 in the evening, a few hours after he was shot."

But police forced the demonstrators to turn back, threatening them with tear gas, Iddris said. Six or seven people were arrested, he said.

The next morning, Friday, they tried again, playing drums as they tried to march from the factory to Rosarno's town hall, he said.

That's when they heard the warning.

"People took a van, an information van with speakers, saying any black person who is hiding in Rosarno should get out, if they catch anyone they will kill him," Iddris said.

Iddris -- who is originally from Sudan and has been in Italy for about 18 months, first as an asylum seeker and then without legal documentation, and who picks oranges in season -- said police arrested another 10 to 20 people at Friday's demonstration.

Italian press reports said the demonstrators had burned cars.

Later on Friday, Iddris said, police arranged for buses to move the Africans away from Rosarno to another village.

But the new location was no safer, he said. Police had to keep locals and migrants physically separated Saturday.

"They said they would take us to another place. They said it's dangerous now for blacks to stay there," he said.

Hundreds of people were driven to Bari and Naples, Iddris said. He was on one of six buses, each with 45 to 50 people, taken to Bari.

"Right now we don't know what is next," he said Monday.

Police in the Calabria region, where Rosarno is located, were not immediately available for comment.

But Pope Benedict XVI spoke out against the violence in his weekly address on Sunday.

"An immigrant is a human being, different by background, culture and tradition, but a person to be respected," he said.

"Violence must never be a way to resolve difficulties," he said, urging people "to look at the face of the other and discover that he, too, has a soul, a story and a life. He is a person and God loves him just as He loves me."

Di Giacomo, the International Organization for Migration spokesman, said Italy has many migrants, often from Africa, living in conditions bordering on slavery.

The migrants who demonstrated last week "were exploited. They were just paid 20 euros (about $29) per day and they lived in slums, the same as slavery conditions. A few months ago in (the southern Italian region of) Campagna we discovered a similar situation. It's unfortunately a reality in many places, especially in southern Italy."

Italy is one of the top European destinations for migrants, the migration organization's figures show. More than 3.6 million legal migrants live in the country -- 6.2 percent of the total population -- and Italy has the European Union's highest annual growth rate of migrants, along with Spain.

It's hard to know exactly how many illegal immigrants there are in the country, Di Giacomo said.

"It is not controlled in any way. They change the area where they work because of the season of the year -- oranges in the winter, tomatoes in the summer," he said. "With economic migrants, many of them arrive with tourist visas and overstay seeking work. They can arrive in so many ways," including paying traffickers thousands of dollars to smuggle them into the country.

Not all the workers involved in the demonstrations were undocumented, he said -- but the line between legal and illegal can be porous.

"Some have lost their jobs, and in Italy if you lose your job you have six months to find work or you become illegal," he said.

Italian media has speculated that the Mafia was behind the shooting that triggered the violence.

But Di Giacomo said it was not important whether they were or not.

"We don't know if the Mafia is involved, but the point is not really the Mafia," he said. "the point is that the conditions for these migrants are so inhuman that they can lead to some violent reactions."

Webmasters / Re: Mass-creating/mass-changing Websites by larger20(m): 4:24pm On Jul 13, 2008
yawa-ti-de:

in PHP, this is called an include, callable either via require_once() or require()

Suppose u hv a site with a header, footer, main content area, and navigation. obvioiusly, only the content area (where the text is) should change. So you put the other sections in an include file (you could, for example, have header.inc, footer.inc, etc). That way, if you need to change something in say, the header, you make it in that one file and it changes everywhere.

As for the colors, etc, that can be done via CSS *in an external file*. So letz say in January you want the site to be green. Then in March, if you want it a different color, since you are using an external file, you just change the color of the section in the CSS file and bingo! it changes everywhere.

LESSON OF THE DAY: Every good site must have a solid architecture. You have to spend 90% of your time determining the layout of your site. If you don't, the remaining 10% of your (development) time will be a living hell.

Do you have experience with editing the simple machine forum? I am currently hosting one and need help with configuration, let me know

House owners in VI don't walk on the street of VI like everyone else, Mostly gate men, security people, hawkers, employees of companies, visitors and people that live in flat VI houses do. So if you don't belong to any of this group, then find a security guard before living in VI. Same applies to some part of Ikoyi and ikeja

It is beautiful but if you pay close attention to the adds by google at the bottom of this page web page and thread, its all about poverty in africa and donations to help africa. Its not like something is wrong with it but negativities are more portrayed in the media than the goodness in US, This is just my comment

I have a Bible, which I read, and a Pastor. who does her job well,

Take your "love" gospel elsewhere, I am indisposed, It is not by law that I love everyone. It is my duty to like people, but Love, As you said, it is indeed a complicated issue,

Its okay my dear. I thank God for your life and I pray for the spirit of forgiveness to help you get over certain issues we face on a daily bases. We all do face issues but Gods abundant loves keeps us steadfast through all trails, Have a happy Sunday,
