It's a good development. However, it is just another boat and nothing really impressive. Had it been that your boat could also take people to space or do something innovative, it would have made more sense.

Feel free to delete this when you're done with your one minute fame. Bye.

Inside...

Did you go there with a Nigerian flag?

slyfox35:
This lockdown has been hard on almost everyone, any money you use for foodstuff, your pocket go feel am.

Apparently, this family of five have been staying at one corner in my compound without paying rent.

Some guys came today to fix the mosquito nets on the windows when they spotted the den of these animals.

Na so we descend on their den with water,we eventually caught four,one remaining inside, their Papa I guess,that guy stubborn gan,upon all the water,e nor come out,no wahala, he should be there, I have collected my rent in kind.

They call it African Giant Rat, We call it Rabbit
Ofiontor.

Your compound is quite dirty. Do something about it.

lionlee216:
Available for Pickup.. Make sure you pay your customs fee before reaching out to me for codes

If you are owing me, kindly pay up before collection(VERY IMPORTANT)

-PLEASE CHECK UR ITEMS PROPERLY B4 YOU LEAVE. IF UR SENDING COURIER SERVICE, SAME APPLIES. HE/SHE MUST CHECK PROPERLY B4 LEAVING AS I WONT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANYTHING THEREAFTER.

Please how does this work?

My thinking is that, if I want to buy a laptop from someone in Chicago on eBay, I will contact you to check out the laptop for me before I go ahead and pay? Then you guys handle the shipping to Nigeria?

Is that the business? If so how much do you charge?

And how much should I budget for a MacBook pro 13 inch?

Munichlover:
I have responded to your PM

Baba didn't disappoint las las. Thanks for the help bro.

Thank Munichlover, at least you learnt something from this

The implementation is pretty straight forward. Try doing it yourself.

No be forming Sha.

The Newton's method, Horner's scheme and Newton's-Horners scheme are one and the same thing.

The difference is that at Newton's-Horners scheme, the value of c1 and b0 are gotten from Horner's scheme iteratively and then put into Newton's method (also iteratively) to get the root of the equation.

So normally you choose a value of x0 and solve iteratively till there's no more change in the values, or till the difference is less than the tolerance, or the number of iterations is complete. The value for the x in that iteration is claimed as the root of the polynomial e.g x5.

In the example below, I did just one iteration of the Newton's iteration. There are conditions for the number of iterations and for choosing values of x0 from an interval. I mentioned some above.

Danielhouston:
Thanks. I just get a notification that someone is trying to send me an email and I have to reply to them.

Btw, Lordally, I read your comment and it was really beautiful. I hope you make it to Germany or anywhere else and I pray God keeps blessing your uncle. I need that pot of egusi soup

That's how it works. The sender can only send their message if you reply.

Wanderlust!

If you feel you have to travel then you must do all you can to travel.

There's a unique form of learning peculiar to traveling alone.

I have traveled and will still travel more and the more you travel, the more you realize that you have been done a great injustice by being in one country for most of your life.

Do it, you'll never regret it.

Do you think if I travel it will help?

I'm thinking of changing my location, my friends etc. Which means migration. Would short travel reduce the wanderlust .

Ladylite I have modified my post please reread.

I figured that my initial post didn't capture what I was trying to express so I edited it.

Done with the Quartic Polynomial.
I decided to sit my butt down and complete the algo. Now Mr Insulter I want you to go to Google or whatever and you must write out your algorithm for solving Quartic Polynomial and also an algorithm that convert from root to polynomial. This challenge is inclusive of the other challenge I gave you. I am patiently waiting for your algorithm. You can use Google(that's only if you find the solution on Google) and pls provide me your implementation of your algorithm.
For the root to polynomial algo, the coeff are divided by coeff a.

You took too long to finish this bro. It's embarrassing �

Anyway I am busy at the moment because I have lots of course work to devour on Udacity. And some personal projects that I am working on at the moment.

Please reread your code and the Google stuff you used to write it. Try refactoring the code and pay attention to time complexity and memory usage. And use reusable code to avoid repetition.

I will look into my own implementation when I have the time.

olioxx:
So munichlover, I want to give you two task.
Task1: Write an Algorithm that does root to polynomial conversion.
Task 2: Write an Algorithm to establish a palindrome.
Task2b: Write a pattern algorithm of your choice.
I want to challenge the German Education in you(Just for fun OK).
..
I hope I have shown you that the Nigerian Education is not [b]all [/b]crap.

covid2019:
As noted elsewhere in my previous thread: https://www.nairaland.com/5829221/build-small-house-now-keep, I have been seriously considering building a house, but after a few inquiries and inspections, I discovered that I could only afford a land and build in remote area in my state.

The effect is that my neighbours and everyone in my vicinity will be of low income or lower middle class. This effect is seen in churches, schools etc around there too.

Personally, I don't care about this but my elder brother will not allow me to rest. According to him, "Nigga, you like village too much, leave that place," he is of the opinion that I should even leave the state entirely-- he is New York based anyway.

NOW, these thoughts have been in my subconscious mind, having subliminal effects on me.

Considering, that this great forum has people from all walks of life, I have decided to bring this issue here: TO WHAT EXTENT DOES ONE'S RESIDENT ENVIRONMENT AFFECT HIM especially with regard to finance.

Should I forget about building now-- since I can only afford to build in a remote area now-- and rent in a highbrow, upscale area?

What are the advantages or disadvantages of living among the rich.


Thanks.

Nigerians love using the abroad-relative/abroad-resident phenomena to build social stutus, especially on this forum. Why?

As per your post, your brother is correct. Stay around people who are equal with you mentally, or are the type you aspire to be equal with. Staying with people that are different will lead to a lot of disagreement, - especially when you are dealing with Nigerians who love imposing their opinion on others.

He is trying to get away from the pressure of being a white man.

Maybe people were disturbing him by telling him to be a certain type of person, because he is white, which you can see from this statement "...he felt trapped by conformity" and so he decided to be blue.

Blame this on social pressure and Mental health problem.

Next thing that could happen is probably suicide or shooting. This is how it starts.

I no reach PH for night.
I went for an event. #StartupSouth.

Then, got a place to stay for the night, and left in the morning.

I guess you are into tech. What has changed since your last visit to ph.

Are you now working?Own a startup?

Dollywood:
I get numerous complaints that Campus life in Canada is boring in addition to the intense cold there makes things depressing, how true is this? I also heard it is hard to make friends to have fun together unlike here in Nigeria where almost all Campuses are fun filled and memorable. I intend to study in Canada after this whole pandemic. I'll need your advise.

And what exactly do we do here that is fun and exciting? Church fellowship? Because that's all I see here.

This is very sensitive post. Full of a lot of emotions. One that I can't really relate with, but I can at least get a sense of what you mean through the tone of your writing.

It's the dream of every child to make their parents proud. Parents should learn to take a reasonable approach to communicating their knowledge to their children.

Why I am saying this is because, we think spare the rode and spoil the child actually works. It does to some extent. A good time to use the rode should be when your kid is a toddler. Then they barely know what they are doing. It's the pains that will tell them what their doing is wrong. That is they learn to expect bad things when they do bad which in some way might help them when they grow up.

But for a more matured kid. Please desist. If you must do, it must be done after you have sat the child down and talked sense into them.

Abusing your kids and embarrassing them in front of their peers will lead to rebellion. Wether you like it or not. Parents should never try embarrassing their kids among their peers. This what leads to Antisocial Disorder, if you know what that means. Beating your children and treating them like animals is very wrong. Some parents believe it's the way, its not. Being hard on them without being reasonable is totally wrong. Learn to communicate.

Boys no dey area wey you fit arrange, to give am beating?

How do you want people on Obadanjo's intornet to assist you, when you have used your own hand to cancel out all the possible solutions? You can't/won't fight back, you can't report to your mum, you can't find some other place to go. What advice can we give you again?

If your cousin is a terrorist, then, someone must be sponsoring or allowing his terrorism, who is allowing him best you and his own sister? Who is encouraging him? If it's your aunt, then reporting to your mother will do little for you. At worst, your aunty will start being hostile to you for telling your mum you are being abused in herhouse.

There are so many layers to your issues, but the only solution that you can validly remove yourself from, is arranging boys for him. You still have to find the boys, and a means of payment.

Just pray to God, that your cousin received his healing.

I fear your type. Arrange gini.

You are the type that will gossip and coordinate babes to abuse your man when he does wrong.

petitejolie:
U don’t have school hostel? You are not even rugged. U can’t survive anywhere with this your sime sime attitude. U don’t want to grow. Let me tell u something. I’m a lagosian and got admission into a northern school at age 16 . My parents had to let me go. My school is in Zaria and my uncles stay in kaduna. I visit dem once in a blue moon. I didn’t stay dere I stayed in school. During Nysc was posted to the east I didn’t know anybody there at age 20 that was d first time I crossed river niger. Also I got one of my jobs in Ilorin Nd I went there where I knew nobody. Those times were my first travel to these places.My friend u better open up to your parents and tell dem u wanna go to d hostel or let dem give u money to rent a place. Ure in school na . Make contacts na, ask questions. I pity u, this avoidable thing is wat is causing u depression. Wen u start the main schooling nko cos Ure just JJC in school now. Dem neva start with una. Ure only supposed to stay in ur uncle or aunty’s place for like a month which is enough for u to gain balance and adjust. After which u find ur way . U will just be coming for visit. Better stop dulling and tell u parent wat is happening. Do u want to be dulling for the rest of your life.

Your parents are the tough one, not you. I can't even let my sister go out to run errands alone at 20. The thought of her going to school to live alone keeps me up at night sometimes. I wonder how your parents are able to allow such.

Now tell me, were you already a bad girl? Because their nonchalant attitude towards you is not normal jare. Don't you have a senior brother??

Why do you think they did that? I want to learn from them so that I can start working on my life and stop worrying about my family.

Rhyah:
One thing you should never be afraid to do is to
SPEAK UP...

Don't feel you might be causing trouble between the families....No, you're in the process of correcting a misdeed...
If you report, you are not just helping yourself alone...you're also helping the so called bully of a cousin...and to hear he beats his sisters....tuuueehhhh!!!

Young man...tell your mum...tell your dad...Speak until someone does something...

And if you choose to...you might want to discuss with your aunt and her husband together first and then your parents if your cousin's parents didnt take any action...

Try avoid that guy like coronavirus

This is also an opportunity to get what you want...rent a room for yourself... However, the abuse issue is priority...tackle that first
But for a fresher, school hostel wont be bad if you have one...you could still spend that one year getting to know your environs...By 2nd year, you would have had your two legs firm enough on the ground to go living on your own...probably with a good roomie if you choose...

Allow the guy to stay there. He just wants to get away from parental control. He thinks if he finds a place, he will be able to control young girls to his base, to do what he has been reading in Romance section. He thinks he is in the North.

Babes here will show him pepper. By the time they are done with him, when he sees pretty girls, nobody will tell him to run. The worst is he will not even get touch them.

@ Mrfarmer600 I have been trying to get in touch. Pls send mail to clicka.boy434@gmail.com. Thanks

ken711:
I have been dating a girl for about 18 months now. Very pretty but my brothers, let me tell you... Look before you leap when it comes to pretty girls.

From the minute I met this girl it has been one money request after another. If it was small sums I guess I wouldn't really mind, as I have always worked for blue chip companies and can afford it. The thing is, her requests are always very big!.....20k this, 20K that.....but my brothers, I have to tell you the one that has made me even disappointed in myself.

She lives with her parents and they are the most dysfunctional family I have ever heard of... Everyday one person is fighting the other, and this my girlfriend, as fine as she is, is the most arrogant, prideful, violent & rude person I have ever met. She hounded me everyday that I must get her an apartment of her own, so she can escape her home, and I agreed to but by saving monthly.

Would you believe, one night, when she was working at a bar as an usher for guinness, she gave her number to 2 different men just because of this apartment. My spirit kept telling me that she gave her number out, but she kept lying...only for me to catch her texting one of the men when we were at church of all places.......

She even went as far as going to meet this rich man at a hotel, but the man ran away when she made that request, and I as a fool decided to finally do it for her. (I suspect she cheated on me that night and I always tell it to her face because she has cheated on me twice before)

I live on the Island and tried to get her to rent here as well, as I really want to keep an eye on her..... She has too many guys around her who live in that area and she is this kind of person who cheats out of revenge, even over small things.....this girl refused and threatened to break things off!....bro, as a mumu I sent the money to her to rent the place and for other things, about 400K.....

Ever since that money left my account, it's like my eyes cleared!!! I couldn't believe that instead of saving my hard earned money, I went and sent it to a girl that has cheated on me twice (or even more), lied to me, slapped me and done so many things.....but I just decided to leave everything for God, seeing as she was desperate.

The problem now is that the demands for that apartment is now becoming too much!!! The expenses just to get the place finished are such a burden on my financial and mental state...

The worst happened about two days ago, she wanted me to pay 20k. Infact I just got so tired of bills that I kinda was stalling on it, but what happened next truly shocked me. Would you believe this girl started punching me, slapping me and even tore my shirt cos of 20k. She even threatened to break my office laptop (working from home) until I sent the money, after that she left........

Now she is trying to apologize so that I will pay for bed and gas and the remaining things....my brothers, I know u will say am a fool!...I accept...I am a handsome guy, studied abroad, I just don't know why loneliness made me fall in love with such a sadistic user... My only problem is, do I pay for the bed and just finish what I started or just free the whole thing and the nearly 500K I have already spent....

Please help!

Judging from the bolded part of your post.


I think you are indirectly looking for a girl on nairaland because It's obvious that you are bragging.

But anyway, I will still go ahead and advise you, mind you this is just my opinion, - go ahead and spend your money on her and that's if you like having her around, because it seems that's all she seems to be interested in. She gets money from you, you get her for as long as you want, it's simple. If you can afford it and you really want her around and nothing more then there's no need to be bothered.

EgunMogaji2:
Please quote where I’ve told anyone on here if they should travel or not. What business of mine is how anyone charts their life?

The reality is that you’re simply upset that I’m happy in Nigeria as is some other people. I mean look at the length idiotic and untrue epistle that you responded with?

I love Nigerians I especially salute those folks who are making it happen here. They’ll always have my respect and support

PS: it’s 33 years, not 30. Don’t shortchange me Bro

I am a younger dude, below 25, I am very curious and will like to know what your mates did differently to earn your respect, as you stated above, as that will help me in planning my life, since I have most of my life ahead of me. Also, what do you think one needs to have to be able to make it in Nigeria. Is it favouritism, or hardwork?.
