@Dual Core: LOL no be me and you go follow reach anywhia. Prove that you bought the Dreamweaver: paste the serial number here (at least it would have been activated and can never be used by anyone else). Okay, you don't even need to do that. Just tell us how much you purchased it You're a red-eyed liar. LOL

@Gabry: Sorry dear, I thought you had forgotten  

For the first time, I am considering clicking "Report to Moderator" on a number of posts here  

@Amaka: LOL yeah i know how its like when a family member owns a store (hehe esp when they sell kiddie goodies!). of cos there are things that were even many-pieces for 50kobo. LOL. I recall my primary school days, a simple 10 kobo coin was more than enough for break-time. Mum would insist that I should buy groundnuts cos they are healthier (though more expensive) but you can guess, hehehe, candy all the way. LOL. Never had teeth problems though.

As for the war, don't interfere, abeg.

@The Seeker: Abeg leave matter. I (used to) respect you very much o!!!!

I love the Bible, these are three verses from Proverbs that my mum taught me NEVER to be likened to:

In the KJV, each word "spouse" below was "woman". This is the Message version.

Pro 21:9  Better to live alone in a tumbledown shack than share a mansion with a nagging spouse.

Pro 21:19  Better to live in a tent in the wild than with a cross and petulant spouse.

Pro 27:15  A nagging spouse is like the drip, drip, drip of a leaky faucet;

@sweetpie23: Great idea about this thread, it even made the front page already! It would be a pity if it gets derailed finally. Let's get it back in order. So tell us, sweetpie, who would YOU like to date from Nairaland?

This thread started out as a documentary  , then it became drama , it became comedy  , then action   , then thriller   ,  now it's just horror  

@The-AMAKA: Nice and fast editing there, Amaka! Lest you join the violence!!

The notes that are like that now are N5, N10, N20 and N50. You know the lower currencies have a higher chance of being misused or abused by people who wouldn't give the money as much regard as it ought. Yeah, things like N1.50 sweet morphed into 3 for N5 and so on! Gosh have you seen my childhood?! (It's not missing, I'm just asking if you have been observing it carefully :p)

@Flavio: Correct guy. I know how it can feel to apologize when you may not have been the more aggressive one in an argument. I had to do same on the religion boards a while ago.

@Topic: For Flavio's post, I would have named him but, nah I can't (nothing on you, Flavio, you are a great guy! Im just saying if I were a single girl, I would like your kinda person!)

THE-AMAKA:
yeah i pretty much knew that. lol
just that no one in naija has time to deal with coins and such. most people would just set the price at 15 or 10.
i think they prefer the money that folds not the one that jingles. lol
ive never heard of anything being sold by a number that couldnt be divided by 5!! lol

LMAO at folds vs. jingles. Funny enough, brand new N1 and N2 coins were minted, produced just last year (I was in 9ja at the time) and there are unconfirmed rumors that some current notes will follow the trend soon :p (Although the newly produced currency right now is the synthetic rubber notes, as opposed to "paper" money due to gross manhandling by 9jerians).

If u haven't bought stuff that couldn't be divided by 5, then it is obvious that you never used to buy sweets and chewing gum, or you didn't grow up in 9ja (I can vaguely recall baba-dudu used to go for 50k per string, like 6 pieces or so. LMAO. Dont ask what baba-dudu is. Its locally-made coconut candy. Anyone else remember? LOL)

@topic: Sorry for derailing for a bit. I just couldn't resist gisting with my dear Aburo
But na wa for this thread o, see fight! Chei!!!  

THE-AMAKA:
i dont think there is a such thing as 12 naira.
wait, there is.
but how do you break 12 naira?!?! lolol
either 10 or 15 ooooo
but i think they have worthless naira coins and even more worthless kobo!!! lolol
i saw a couple of naira coins in my grandpa's shop in naija, not like people really use them anyway.

LOL N12 would be a N10 note and two N1 coins, ma'am!

@Topic: I wouldn't wanna date anyone on Nairaland, at least not yet. LOL. As far as I know, everyone, including myself, is pretending! Let me see em in person first  

@Winnergal, Xynerize, Flavio: Please can we leave all the dirty language outside, cheese! This thread has been derailed seriously!!!

@The-AMaka:

Subject yourself to utter boredom: read this thread's last 30 posts

Keep your head up, Seun! Great mind, great thinking, great product

As at the time of posting this topic, there are 432774 Nairaland members, and the Nairaland Forum Rules and Regulations has only 10242 views! 2.4% viewership! This means when 97.6% of the users registered, they just clicked "I accept" without reading the terms! That's too bad, i think 

No wonder so many people keep getting banned 

Here is the topic again: https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-1026.0.html

Nigerian Kidnappers Plc: The Price List

Lol this thread is evidence that Naija people, dem like better thing. LOL. Falling in love with profile pictures!!

LOL a little birdie tells me that all the people mentioning Dreamweaver on this forum didn't purchase it. It's freaking expensive! Unless of course you bought the Naija pirates' version

@OP: If you are interested, I stumbled upon a "Dreamweaver Bible" here http://rapidshare.com/files/61277164/Dreamweaver_CS3_Bible.zip

Disclaimer: I don't know how the file got on the Rapidshare server, I just googled up the link. I don't think you should download the ebook, but if you eventually follow this link and download it, ensure you purchase the ebook afterwards so as to support the author at Wiley Publishing

I am pleased to inform you of http://www.cole8.com (Cole8 Nigeria), a search engine dedicated to indexing pages that have Nigerian content.

Why not give it a try!?

Webmasters, submit your sites for indexing at and you'll be glad you did!

Cole8 is not my project, it was created and launched a few days ago by a former classmate, now in Nigeria. Just helping him out a bit as the project moves out of beta mode

@muyinice: Even Jesus moved with them. If you don't move with unbelievers how will they hear the truth?

Lmao it was not for chocolate, well, at least, it was a human kinda chocolate

@logica: No, you're not the ardent math fan. Have we even met? Im definite we haven't.

logica:
I think she's a he. May have gotten his profile info wrong (which may just tell you a bit about the person).

*yawn*

@webdezzi:

webdezzi:
i guess thats why she is gaining more attention than yawa these day, Opps! i mean he

In case you didn't notice, maybe it's because I spend most of my Nairaland time on the religion boards.

@logica/webdezzi: Chauvinist male programmers alert!

@candylips:

hahaha he most have had a laugh because that integral can't be solved. Am sure you tried integration by substitution and u kept on ending up with a solution that required to be integrated over and over again.

LMAO That was what happened!

@Topic:
I think I agree with Ghenghis, having worked with FORTRAN in junior high, MathCAD and MATLAB in college. The Math libraries in FORTRAN 90/95 (most of the FORTRAN 77 libraries will be coughing up bugs like dust, i presume) are exhaustive, and powerful still! But the major point where FORTRAN bowed out to MATLAB, by my experience, was dealing with huge multidimensional arrays. It fell like a pack of cards. LOL!

I will indeed return to read this thread!

This is one of the best videos about love and relationships that I have seen in a while,


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BOgSsIXToJ0

Video Transcript: for those who prefer not to watch the video, I have transcripted the video. The transcript is open to corrections, if you please.

Hello! There are so many women walking around, saying "There's no good man out there", or "All men are dogs" or "I can't find a good man, all the good men are either taken, gay, married,  whatever!" which MAY be the case sometimes but there is an abundance of good men walking this earth.

They're all over the place, but they're not going to walk into your life if you are not ready to receive all that a good man brings. So if you have a place in your life where you are not doing the things you want from a man, it's just not going to happen!

I mean women have so many lists - we have so much stuff that we want - he's gotta be this, and he's gotta be that. He's gotta make this much money, drive this kind of car, or look this way; whatever the case may be!

But if you look at yourself, what is it that you bring to the table? I mean, you want a man that's basically fit, that looks good, but you are out of shape. You don't work out, you don't take care of your
body.

You want a man that has money, that's financially stable, takes you around, wines and dines you. But,
you're broke! You don't have any money. Your credit is jacked up. You work a dead-end job. It just doesn't make any sense!

Or you want a man that is spiritually grounded, that has a relationship with God, but,  when is the last time YOU prayed?

You know, it's like none of these things add up! You have to really define what it is that you want, and look at yourself and see what you're doing to attract that! Because whatever it is that you're doing, that's probably the kind of man that you will have!

So when you sit around, talking about what you don't want, what you can't do, what you don't want HIM to have; you know, all those things that you DONT LIKE about men, well, guess what? That's probably what you have in your life!

If you're looking at your man, or who you're dating, or your husband and you sit there saying you don't
want a lame, waggery, bore-bag and your husband or your man or whoever you're dating is probably just a lame, waggery, a bore-bag because that's what you talk about, that's what you don't want!

Okay (sighs), so, think about that! You know, you want love, you want happiness, you want all that. You've gotta start with yourself! You have to be madly, passionately in love with YOU. You have to love yourself in order to receive the love that you want from somebody else because when the Queen is Ready, the King will appear!

So get yourself together. Define what exactly you want, and begin to align your life with what brings you happiness so that men can show up.

So, if you want a good man, get it together. You got a good man, keep it together!. Think about that.

@Stillwater/smooooooth/lord_reed/*hauwa*: Thanks! I will post another love poem in some minutes

muyinice:
psl. can any one contribute to thse questions?
1. does luck lead to success?
2. is it right to move with un-believers?
3. is it right to make everybody your mentor especially un-believers?
4. how can a total teenager affect their soceity positively?

1. Luck? Good luck or bad luck?  Personally I do not believe in luck. Luck happens only to those that believe in it: and the funny thing is when you believe in good luck, one day bad luck will lurk in the shadows of good luck. Bad luck can lead to success (do you recall Ayefele the musician?  ) and good luck is also reputed to lead to success (like those that win lotteries). Don't rely on luck, design your own destiny.

2. Is it right? YES! In fact, you need to move with unbelievers!!  If you don't, they will never know what they're missing   

3. Please never make everybody your mentor: you will end up a confused and distraught human being!  The only person that should be your mentor is someone that you want to end up like. You can have an unbeliever as a mentor for some things (although believers are considered a better bet since their overall perspectives will tally with yours), there's no harm in that. e.g. you can have an unbeliever as a financial mentor, or as a student you can have an unbeliever as an academic mentor, or something. It's like walking a very thin tightrope, you need to tread with care. But trust me, there's a lot to learn from the unbeliever as well. Especially on nairaland 

4. Start with one, two, or a few people, and it will gradually build up to the society. But remember, In war, it is often better to conquer a whole country than to own many tiny towns: parts and pieces of continents, scattered amongst many countries!

@tanimz: LOL just ignore the forum terrorist, Abuzo**** (whatever the name he had to come up with due to repetitive bans). He loves the attention, like a spoilt child. Leave him to his devices and he will go to sleep

@davidylan: LOL well it's never too late. Even if you are married, you can still speak words of affirmation of Christian and matrimonial purpose to one another!

@nuclearboy: respect? Okay thanks. I just thought I should clarify before the thread turned into a mess.

@nezan/Deepsight: Gee thanks!

@Pastor AIO: Simple semantics. I have to use TODAY's language to explain personae of the Godhead, don't I? if I were living in the 5th century A.D. i would use the semantics that were obtainable in those days. As I keep saying, spiritual things are profound, and you can almost never really get to explain them logically in words that man can comprehend.

@Deep Sight

Deep Sight:
And in arriving at these fabulous analogies, have you averted your mind to the following scripture -

[Mark 10:18].
[1Timothy 2:5].
[John 14:28].
[John 20:17].
[John 17:3].


[Mark 13:32]
[1st Peter 1:3].
[Acts 2:22]
[Luke 22:42]
[John 8:40].
[Luke 23.34].


all of which decisively make clear that Jesus is not God.

The interesting thing about mankind is that we are dangerously and very intelligent (if we put our minds to good use, Gen 11:6), and as such there is a tendency to think we can describe God's patterns. I already discussed this fallacy with you in the past: God cannot be put in a box and his intents explained away by the same people who acknowledge Him as God. It WILL not make sense, most probably, but I want you to read the below all the same. (If it made sense, we would need no faith, because we would be as sure as God himself, concerning his purposes and intents).

The verses you have supplied above, some of them refer to Jesus in His divinity, others refer to Him in his humanity; showing that there is something you do not quite understand. There is Jesus the MAN, and in a dual function, Jesus who is the express image of the Father, an essential person of the Godhead. When I worship Jesus, it is not that carpenter that was Mary's son (as such). It is that person of the Godhead who came in the flesh as the carpenter.

One final illustration I will render is: there's Musa Yaradua the Nigerian president. And there's Musa Yaradua the family man, husband of Turai, father of his children. Yes, they are unarguably the same person, but after his tenure as president (God keeping him alive), he will return to Yaradua the family man. He will no longer be president. But as long as he is president, when you meet him on official purposes you need to address him as president, whether you like it or not. Similarly, Christ (as a person of the Godhead) came to earth as man FOR A WHILE. Jesus' essential nature is of divinity, just like Yaradua is a family man first of all, and that is exactly who he really is. Or, consider a just and true Yaradua, who always needs to remind, say, his in-laws that he is a president (although ultimately a family man) when they expect him to spuriously bend the laws for his family (see Matthew 12:46-50 in perspective).

That is just like what Jesus was saying in Mk 10:18 (ONLY God is good), for example. The man talking to him was emphasizing Jesus' moral (human) goodness, but Jesus was scheduling the pointers in the right direction: GOD (of whom I participate) is good (altogether), and not any man. Please read the gospels with utmost care: there were no "believers" asides Christ's disciples, so there were many things that Jesus said that were meant to deal with their unbelief and stubborn hearts. e.g. Many of the Jews expected a military messiah, which Christ was not.

I will not go into the other verses now, for the sake of time, but if you consider them again in the light of what I have said above, I think it will be all the clearer.

In fact, I actually categorize the four gospels as a part of the Old Testament, because the sacrifice that ushered in the New testament had not yet been wrought. But that is just as a manner of classification, so to speak.

Consider what I have said carefully without prejudice, and make your own sound judgement. Cheers!

Deep Sight:
^^^ Oh, wicked, you, Noetic.

Quick math.

Reconcile these:

"Before Abraham was, I AM".

And -

"The father is greater than i am". . .

"I ascend to my father and your father, my GOD and your God". . .

"Eli Eli. . . _{(allah, allah)"}

I believe the contention has to do with the understanding of the doctrine of the Trinity. Forget about the word "Trinity" for some seconds. A simple analogy that I derived to explain the nature of the Godhead, is:

Consider an Olympic 100metre sprint. Three men (none of them Usain Bolt), of different muscular capacity, size and height, all come in at exactly 8.35 seconds, thus beating Usain Bolt's world record. They are all 1st. At the same time. Although they are different persons. Maybe even Person A taught person B all that he knows about sprinting (as such, person A is GREATER than person B, who looks up to Him). Either way, they are all FIRST, at the same time. Whoever comes next is way down at the 4th position.

That's how it is: the Father, the Son and the Spirit of God are GOD at the same time.

Even though the Father is greater than the Son. The father sent the Son to us, and the Holy Ghost anointed (equipped) him for the work. When the work of salvation was complete in Christ, having re-established a pathway that leads man back to the Father, the Son returned to His Father, and sent the Holy Ghost to guide those same men on their path back to the Father.

TRINITARIAN Nomenclature:
The names Father and Son do not only denote offspring with respect to primogenitor, as it obtains with humans. Rather, the roles that the Father has with respect to the Son: teaching him, guiding him, giving him all things, sending him, etc, is what gives for the nomenclature. As for the Spirit, the name indicates the person of the Godhead through whom one can understand the Godhead and God's overall intents (only the Spirit understands, in a way that humans understand things, the Godhead and can explain such intents and purposes). It's just like saying "The Spirit of Music" or "The Spirit of Football" or "The Spirit of Joyfulness" or "in the Spirit of Nairaland", when we talk about the Holy Spirit, we are talking about the SPIRIT of GOD. The Spirit of the Godhead, that PERSON in the Godhead that can enable an understanding of what/who the Godhead is and all other such mysteries.

@My detractors that like to assume and scream plagiarism, all I have said here about nomenclature came to mind as I typed.

No i dont do C++, Im playing around with C# anyway!
