No harm really. I do it and my children love it. They will keep asking for more but when I am tired, I will simply tell them it's the end of the show for the moment.

Leopantro:
Just wondering. soldiers have been restricted from the polling centers. if the head of a village collects all the voters card of members in his village and, together with armed youths, forces the NYSC member controlling that polling booth to accept all the voters card. how will the machine forestall such an event?

hypothetical, of course.

The card reader requires finger print. That scenario you painted will not work.

muib:
I noted one thing at the end of the article, that Nigerian soldiers are afraid..this is a disgrace but I don't blame the anyway

Somebody must take responsibility. So who do you blame?

omonnakoda:
"CHEAP" is not the right word. You have to put things in ACCURATE context.
There was a time when a flight to Lagos from PH was 28 Naira and a Peugeot 504 was 6000 Naira. Even then it was not "CHEAP" because bus fare was 5 Kobo and Coke was 10 Kobo and 18000 Naira a year was the highest salary in government.
In those days a flight to New York would have been around 500 Naira. We are talking Shagari's government/Buhari's government. It was not "CHEAP" at all

Cheap is absolutely NOT the word at all

You were ABSOLUTELY right with your figures. I was very young then but can remember mum would give me 10 kobo daily to school to buy whatever I wanted additional to meals provided in school those days. At a time, my uncle bought Lagos-New York-Lagos ticket for 600 Naira.

Good old days.

ichommy:
nah The Damsel sure pass. Wait o *Thinking* d good Cook. No d.... Wait OP no let me mad jare haba. *walk out of thread.

I like your sense of humor.

akinsadeez:
The boss in this case is guilty of using an underaged as house help contrary to the child's right act and then the merciless beating is another offence on its own. Self servicing is not an offence under the law but if the girl was doing it to her boss' children, then she should have returned her to her parents. How will you keep somebody sexually molesting ur children under ur roof. If she is already self servicing then its obvious she would soon graduate to sleeping around and get pregnant.

Perfectly on spot. I admired your ability to isolate each facet involved. If it were in Europe/America, this woman will rot in jail.

Hope justice will be served one day.

Orikinla:
[size=18pt] ............

And another one that boomeranged is calling Buhari an illiterate. Someone who was a general in the Nigerian Army? That is an insult on all the Nigerian military generals like OBJ, IBB, Abdulsalami Alhaji Abubakar, Theophilus Yakubu Danjuma and the entire Nigerian graduates of the NDA of their era. When GEJ insults the military past of GMB, he is insulting all the Nigerian Army generals and junior officers. They still have their NDA camaraderie and they will rally to support him in mutual solidarity. [/size]

Agreed

temitemi1:
All what we are saying is that, he should pay more attention to his bad health... Nobody is after the already gone man's life ... GEJ till 2019!!!

As for me, I don't support anyone.

But gentleman, fear God. That post you made is reckless. Are you God to conclude that his life is already gone? How do you know if he will even live beyond 100 and for how long can you boast that you will live either?

No doubt The Nigeria Police meant well, but just wondering if they have the power to make laws. They should have applied to the relevant law making bodies (National Assembly/State legislature) to obtain that decree. They are there to enforce laws. Not to make laws.

tit:
the your i-witness na satellite?
it looks like he has been stalking the Nigerian army all over.
From Bama, Borno to Ikorodu rd lagos and then to Palmgrove.
He does not seem to be an impartial witness to the truth.
He just seems so jaundiced and full of biased opinions.

And maybe, he seems to have to have something against female soldiers.
Is he afraid of the men?
Why is he trying to pin everything on an unknown female soldier?
He does not come across as an unbiased, credible, truthful witness.
he seems to have made up more than half the story.

See all the responses to your reply. They said it all. Nothing to add

tbaba1234:
Palmgrove is along Ikorodu road and his reference to Bama relates to a previous event.

I do not see any reason to doubt the testimony, we have seen it many times before.

loopman:
Read and assimilate before you comment. You obviously didn't comprehend his reference to Bama, Maiduguri and Kano.

wakacome:
what is this one saying?are you speaking in tongues?are you sure you read and truly understand what the op said??

curtisboss1:
get out of here if you don't know what to say young man you coward.

chromoTop:
And you wonder why students don't pass exams
as you black and fine reash?

3ga:
Tit or nipple what ever u call urslf, u can read but lack understanding so i suggest u read again maybe u'll get a clearer picture..

freeboy604:
If you cannot read and understand this simple report that even a primary six pupils can understand and interpreted correctly, then ii wonder what you are doing here.

adedayourt:
Am VERY sorry but I must confess...

You be fool

cbrass:
Sorry pls, did you leave your brain offline before comming online?

jomoh:
This is not the first time this girl will be bashed for her quick, reckless and most times senseless comments. You obviously lack comprehension skill.

READ and COMPREHEND before you make comments.

popcykaylah:
aunty did you read the article atall?maybe if one of your folks was brutally beating that day or your father was beating and he died of shock.. you won't be here yarning crap...

bugativeron: @diasporan thanks for your response and encouragement. I took time to take my wife thru it yesternite. Though she has never been in support of our leaving nigeria. When we newly got married she wanted to travel to canada to be delivered of our 1st child she was denied visa cos she wasnt working but she was so cross because she had her early primary sch in canada and couldnt understand why she was denied. Since then she has been anti travel. But I definitely know 2 things. That 1, God need to be thoroughly consulted and that my wife must fully buy into this lofty idea. Funny enough she has always agreed with me on all issues but she is a bit reluctant now. But I guess because she is always scarred of changes.

To the OP. --
I commend you for going about it wisely.
You need your wife's support. It is a delicate venture. There are ups and downs, but with her support the going gets easier
Like you said, leave matters in God's hand. And do not make things work at all cost. If it is God's will, it will work otherwise he will compensate in other ways.
As said earlier by many people which I also believe you know yourself, if you must live in abroad, live LEGALLY

I had wanted to be a Pilot, but turned out to be a .Net Developer.

I really love programming with passion. Thanks to God, no regret

philfearon: Thats cool bro...Thanks 4 the answer!!
This now leads to my main question.....Since Jesus is the first of Gods creation,how was He created/begotten?
....
Please,bear this in mind while replying me..
John1:2 "All things were made Through Him,and Without Him,nothing was made that was Made"
..
Gen1:1 "In the Beginning,God created the heavens and the earth"
I know u might be inclined to ask me why i put those verses there...But dont okay!

Please explain Col 1:15 in view of the underlying questions .....

1. What does it mean to call someone a creation?
2. when you now go further to describe him as [first born], what does that imply?

Tolexander: that may not be the reason for his being unclad

Maybe because he saw fashola, that was why he had to give that scope and see if fashola could give a better phone and fortunately, it worked.

What do you gain being this cynical?

I was reading this in the office and really had a real struggle holding back my tears. If it were at home, I would have let it flow freely. Beautifully and dramatically composed.

I could identify with you because I waited upto 9 years before mine came and almost effortlessly the junior followed 3 years later.

May the God of comfort bring joy to you and all looking up to him in Jesus Name. AMEN

mu2sa2: This guy converted to Islam for years and led a normal life. Then Kenyan police who are not muslims (u sure know their religion) humiliated him so badly and British secret service (not muslims) hav continually been harassing and tormenting him psychologically and physically. Why blame islam? Tens of thousands are converting to Islam and living in peace with themselves and everybody -this campaign of calumny will not stop it.

Answer a couple of questions please
1. Why was he humiliated in Kenya?
2. Why was British secret service harassing him?

It was surprising you could turn a blind eye on the answers which I believe you know

Raymondenyi: Seun n other mods pls listen to wat I gotta say! U all re now meking NL a mockery n d primum aim of its existence is becoming defeated, I think y'all should retrace ur steps b4 y'all regret it! I am graddually loosing interest in all these
Silly pics os shirtless p-sqaure meking frontpage- disgusting

Perfectly on point. It is very irritating. I don't bother clicking on any of them and seeing so much on the FP is making this place a mockery.

4 Play: MI5 spooks were last night facing tough questions about how the fanatics who butchered Drummer Lee Rigby in broad daylight had slipped through the net.

The two killers who beheaded the soldier in a Woolwich street had cropped up in “several investigations” by the security services in recent years, Whitehall sources revealed.

But MI5 did not suspect that Michael Adebolajo and his accomplice – named locally last night as Michael Oluwatobi Adebowale – were planning an attack, the sources said.

In another dramatic development, police revealed a man and a woman, both aged 29, had also been arrested on suspicion of conspiracy to commit murder.

The announcement followed raids on six properties yesterday – one in Saxilby, Lincs, another in Romford, Essex, and four in London.

There's talk that he was born in Nigeria but became a naturalised British citizen after coming to the UK.

NO. He was born in the UK, raised up in the UK. There was no link to Nigeria or anyone in Nigeria other than his parents were of Nigerian origin.

PLEASE GET THIS CLEAR

3hunna: Pure Fabricated Lies, How will they know the exact numbers.

Stupid Oyinbo lies

The source did not say exactly 180,000 but more than 180,000. And for them to arrive at that, they have statistics to rely on. That figure was obviously recorded cases and knowing very well so many remain unreported, they could safely assume that the spread is more than 180,000

alexdan1881: some of the account they transfer to are opened with fake documents they are not traceable

That will make the bank culpable. No Excuse. They are required to know their customers. CBN mandated this several years ago and expected all banks to comply.

deenee: @ madejibo, I don't work with DB and don't have any affiliations whatsoever with them but we need to be unbiased in our assertions. Also, there is not need to be unruly. It is uncalled for and uncivil. The OP will be questioned if the case is escalated and I can bet you that what he has said here will be totally different from what he will say if interviewed. I do empathize with him on the loss but I will still say that he is economical with the truth. For the OP have you at any point in time made purchases online via a payment platform that is not verified?

Still again, banks don't have access to your ATM pin that is why also you are by default required to change your pin once you get a new ATM card. Secondly the long number on your ATM is blotted out on any invoice containing ATM transactions e.g the print out you get when you make a withdrawal. Even at that, you are expected to destroy such after use.

In most cases, as one poster has put it, the OP maybe by error clicked on a link online that put a virus in his system that gathers sensitive info and transfers to a remote system.

I will repeat again that I am not absolving the bank nor trying to support them but let's listen to both sides of the story before we begin to throw stones.

I hope our "very intelligent nairalanders" will pick up strong learning points from this whole fiasco.

Your assertions in bold were prejudicial.

We all (including you) sympathise with the poster and hope he gets his money back.

[quote author=baby_123]Ok, makes sense. So it is a superstition.[/quote]Perfectly on point. No more, No less.

I've heard of somebody it happened to, the mother just kept to herself and never told anyone until the child became adult and has children of her own. The grown adult is doing very well. Nothing happened.

chygoz3: I wouldn't really call what I do sleeping. It's more like going into a low energy state in which I'm not actually awake but will be aware of what is going on around me.

The bolded - Hibernate - No; Sleep - No; Screen Saver - Yes

hydoo: Mtseeeeew

Please what is the meaning of this slang - Mtseeeeew. I googled but no result!!!

claremont: Nigeria still remains one of the few lawless countries where citizens are regularly assaulted by people who have sworn an oath to protect them. In the UK, every John Doe can legally buy the British Army complete regalia on sites such as Ebay. The law doesn't stop anyone from wearing whatever he/she wants to wear.

I could be wrong, but I'm not aware that there is a specific part of the Nigerian constitution that says it is unlawful for a Nigerian citizen to wear camouflage-type clothes. Nigerian soldiers who assault citizens that wear this type of clothing are not only undisciplined, but are also a reflection of the lawless nature of the Nigerian society.

Finally somebody made the point I was looking out for and it was you

Thumbs up to you.

NaijaNaWaa: I thought it's self evident going by the example in my first post. Anyway, have fun.

I hate putting anyone on the spot, but if you do know the part of pseudocode in TDD methodology in programming, then you would have been better informed that your second post was very much unnecessary.

Anyway like you said, let's put this behind us. Wish you have fun too

NaijaNaWaa: If this is all for fun, then no problems. But for real, programming is a logical thing and your pseudo code is logical calamity. This goes beyond bug because for each of your logic flow, I can point out a 100 and one incongruences. As a programmer, I'm sure you know about the programmer's nightmare called "unexpected results". That's what you're inviting. But if it's for fun, then no wahala at all.

I am still waiting for your "100 and one incongruences". Please come forward .

Please go ahead to bring these "100 and one incongruences" out. Start from the changes made by Sagytarius.

Until then, I reserve my further comments

NaijaNaWaa: So, going by your logic, the sentence, "Londo07 has a red VW Beetle" is a past tense? Abi?
Fa-faaaa-faaaaaa-faaaaaaaaawuuuuuuuuuuuuulllllllllll

Your exclamation is funny though. You made me laugh.

The logic is not perfect, in fact it was a quick first hand guess at the solution. Sagytarius made some changes and I was impressed.

If I were to do the coding, I would have seen that bug and fixed it.

[quote author=Sagytarius°]I'm not a programmer, but if I'm to follow the literary understanding of ur pseudocode, then I might have to fix some bugs as below:


Fixed.
What do you think?[/quote]Your fix made it more robust. You are not a programmer, but now thinking like one. Thumb up

onegig: Damn...I laugh at my fellow countrymen's ignorance. If it were to be one rock, music or other useless stuff. The page go don reach 30 pages. And to think the so called literate can't even deduce what this means..smh

No, I think you may be wrong. This is a programming task and for programmers only. Don't expect an auto mechanic and a lawyer ... etc to make any contribution.

Sorry got no time to code, so I'll just give you the pseudocode
1. read the line
2. Search for the verb (has or will)
3. If (has) is found then display - Past tense
4. If (will) is found, then display - Future tense
5. Else display - Undetermined
6 End of program

Happy coding
