Icon4s: "who is 2-pac"? Wait and c if another one won't ask if the Military ever ruled Nigeria.

An up-and-coming (female) singer once asked me who Foxy Brown was. I was shocked; but then quickly realized I was that old, and she (Foxy Brown) had been out of music that long.

shymmex: Bruv, Nigeria is tribalised society - once Igbos start ruling Lagos, Yoruba people are finished, period.

It will NEVER happen.

Normally it shouldn't be a big deal. But going by precedent it is a big deal.

I am not very old, but I have read about the scenarios during the 60s after Ironsi became Head of State - bush Igbo people started taunting Northerners (and this eventually directly culminated in the counter-coup and pogroms).

Also, during the war proper I read an account of when the Biafran troops overran Benin. Some residents said their Igbo neighbors started speaking Igbo to them; and when they couldn't reply they were advised to go learn Igbo.

The worst problem of the Igbo people is the unfounded arrogance and loudness of their ignorant class. They make too much trouble for the sophisticated class.

shymmex: Why should an Ekiti dumbo speak for me?

Let her speak for her people..

...and this "Ekiti" person, when last was she in her home town? If you have issues with her, speak on her matter and don't generalize and make it an "Ekiti" thing.

asha 80: guy wetin?

He wants you to keep quiet so that their claim that ballabriggs is Yoruba can stick.

The funny thing about the Igbo tribalist noisemakers in here is, every single exposed and sophisticated Igbo person will disown them and stick to their own societal class which cuts across ethnic groups. It's at the bottom you find the dregs.

afam4eva: Did a Nigerian ever play forr Barrcelona??

LOL. Later you go dey claim say you be Barcelona fan.

And what is the point of doing it in Nigeria? Do you know why they are all cramming themselves into tiny spaces in SAN FRANCISCO? Ever heard of Silicon Valley? Ever heard of venture capitalists? Can you mention where you can find Nigeria's equivalent of both?

samfibby: Why do they have to make this public, now hackers would shift attention to these devices.

Nigerian sense - thinking the less number of people that know, the safer. Wrong! The hackers probably already know this vulnerability for years. Users should be aware to be able to guard against the vulnerability.

kelvinnn: What else do you expect, that is one of the setback of an open source os!!

What! Is Windows open source?

Who are those still talking about "Lagos was developed by Federal Government"? Please leave that for another thread; but certainly before the Oil Boom of the 1970s, Lagos was already a well developed metropolis. And certainly Lagos went into disrepair during the Babangida/Abacha era only to go through a revival during the latter part of Tinubu's governorship and having to do this by being self-sustaining; generating funds even when the Federal Government stopped paying it's "monthly allocation". As I said, leave that 5hit for another thread, and in any case it has been well thrashed out previously on so many threads.

lekkie073: D article refered to NDIGBO...so what i said applies to d umbrella(NDIGBO). Whether u я in support or not i don't give a hoot. What i know is dat ur days in lagos я numbered. Ibos я not different to fulanis. Leaving ur abode in order to encroach on another man's territory. Go back to ur shrines-u-called-homes

Dude don't be stupid. I am more YORUBA than you can ever be.

lekkie073: These pests called igbos never cease to be amazing. U leave ur erosion-ridden villages for better life in lasgidi. We welcomed u because we pitied d fact that d FGN ravaged u when u wanted to secede. Now u want more...small time u go ask for chieftancy titles from our kings. Ur time will soon be up. Go back to idemili and develop d snake-infested jungle u call ur homes. Nansense!

Don't speak in general terms. Only 2 or 3 Igbo people have spoken in support of this dude so far. Speak to those 2/3 and leave the generality out of it.

PointB: In any case Matthew Ogbonnia Idam speaks for me, and perhaps a lot of Igbos.

What state are you from? As in what state (of origin) do you fill out in those myriad of forms?

musKeeto: too many poverty stricken fellows on this thread.. what's wrong with mentioning HE was driving an SUV? Una no get?

He's a Don.

spikes C: Lets suppose the factory class has a method that registers a car as sold, u don't want an inheriting class to over-ride such method. Factory classes are mainly used to collect the most basic common methods for a class and to hide some important business methods.

A factory class cannot have a method "that registers a car as sold". That's not what a factory class is used for. A factory class is used to create an appropriate instance of a family of related classes. And that is ALL it does. There's a reason it is in a group referred to as "creational patterns".

Have these donkeys ever even paid for the grass they graze?

Aringon: What can u guys say about this allegation from Jim Iyke:
http://kaaf.com/3d-174797 Alleged N15m Scam: 'She Is After Me Because I Denied Her S*x**She Stole My Sister's Phone'-Jim Iyke

Please; does he owe her money or not? That's all that needs to be cleared.

texazzpete: So you will remain placid and cool if someone who vanishes with your cash and attempts to kill you starts mocking you on Twitter abi?

Now you have shed more light - he attempted to kill her. But wait; why assault and not attempted murder? So this tallies with what I said; it had gone beyond mere attempt to collect a loan.

Tisa: jim was charged or arrested for assault and not fraud.

That's the part I was wondering. And really, a person who's merely going after you to collect a loan will not bother to go into the details of his mother "selling akara on the road-side". There's too much emotion in this attack (with defamation in mind).

Ganys: Those Currupt Politician that swindle your Money abroad, Are they BELOW the law?

Swindle? Oh OK, you mean "embezzle". Anyway, what do politicians have to do with this? We are speaking of soldiers here. When we want to talk about politicians, you can show face. By the way, speaking of which are most of the lead politicians not retired soldiers? The Obasanjos, the Babangidas, etc?

Obafemi Awolowo University,University of Lagos, etc etc all had AC lecture theaters when they took off.

Do you guys arguing with these nitwits know you speaking with "soldiers" and their wards? Any creature with just a single brain cell will not speak on the side of these f00ls.

I just find it funny they think the era of the Babangidas and Abachas would last. It's long gone and never to return. This is the era of information where even a Secondary School kid can build an IED from browsing the Internet (not to talk of more deadly weapons). Was it not the same "Nigerian Army" that was unable to put an end to the rebellion in the creeks that the government had to beg them with "amnesty"? Were those creek boys in the Army? The "Army" should realize they are just an arm; a part of the body. If the arm tries to fight the body, it will be cut off.

Lordave: Wetin dis mallam wan embezzle 4? I tot fraudsters are only synonymous in d south.

Sebi Babangida and Abacha are Southerners.

It is when the "Nigerian Army" decides to start a war with the Nigerian public that they will realize the best soldiers are not in the Nigerian Army simply because they had better alternatives in life that these dumb azzes. They should remember they still have families who are also civilians.

stagger: Some people here are even defending the soldier. Tells you how many Nigerians think; with their rear ends.

No not many Nigerians; just the dullards we allowed to pack the "Nigerian Army" full. That establishment needs to be flushed. It's worse that the Augean Stables.

rextermail: Some hot mess...

Jezuz, in that bush where you came from, did the monkeys that taught you mention anything on punctuation?

[quote author=ekt_bear]Take a chill pill...no reason to be irritated at either I or the OP. Whether computing is for the OP or not, it certainly won't help him/her to receive incomplete or incorrect information.[/quote]OK, I will in the interim.

litusista: here is the idea. I am to procure a solution (a security scheme)to help improve data transmission security over a LAN. My supervisor said there's no way i'm going to do something new if i dont propose a new algorithm. The LAN in focus here is my school network, a university network.

If you check the page and read it entirely to the end, you will see where there is a reference to SSL, TLS, etc: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

The SHA-2 hash function is implemented in some widely used security applications and protocols, including TLS and SSL, PGP, SSH

Now the assumption I am making is you are trying to secure the actual data transmission over a network. That is exactly what SSL and SSH do (so yes you are reinventing the wheel). Find out how they work and you are almost there.

They are obviously hiding their profit.

rextermail: Let us tell the truth an officer with a flag in any country can use government facility to get to his destination in time so in God's name why should lagos be different I will say he has bitten more than he can chew let him get ready for the worst

No, not any country. Only countries with the kind of baboons of the same species as you. Being a military officer does not make you above the law (and even the f00l in the picture saluting obviously knows this while you don't). What I know is, I can tell that the people reasoning the way you do are not from Lagos, and are not even Yoruba. You are all from various jungles where rule-of-law has no meaning and oppression is woven into your DNA. You do not know what a real society looks like. All your kind are familiar with is chaos. If you think he's bitten more than he can chew, please I am eagerly awaiting for your threatened action. Monkey.

Acidosis: For every persons that insulted me based on my previous comments- y'all are fool.ish.
Is it the work of a Governor to arrest people on the road?

M0r0n. There is something they call a "citizen's arrest" which even you as a concerned citizen can do. But I don't expect a coward like you to show face when it matters.

[quote author=ekt_bear]I don't see any reason to get so defensive.[/quote]LOL. Defensive? Where did that come from? At best I'm just a bit irritated at ITK combined with ignorance (YOU). At worst, irritated by novices who don't seem to have realized that computing is not for them (OP).

litusista: Yea, exactly. I intend to run it n a network, my school Network.

What are you running? You have not even been able to articulate your project. Do you even have a clue what you are trying to do?

Dude, so what do u call the process through which u produce a hash? Hmmm, I thot for a second and the only word I found was "encryption". While it's true this is one way encryption (that is what "hashing" is, but it is still encryption and falls under the study called cryptography), do you see anything in the requirements that say this does not suffice?

Have you asked the OP how she plans to use encryption? Will a hash not suffice if all she wants to use it for is storage of ENCRYPTED passwords?

Everybody on this thread have made assumptions, mine is to make the simplest assumptions while you assumed he needed decryption (since nothing like that was stated). I am sure that one day when you are experienced enough you will learn to think simple; before you go wasting time on unnecessary complexity.

Is it you have to WRITE an algorithm, or you have to USE an algorithm?

If the former, check this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHA-2

If latter, simply get a handle on Spring Security API and do this:

Sha512DigestUtils.shaHex(stringInput)

The utility method takes the input string

stringInput

and returns the encrypted string (digest).
