i'm the Poster and i'm sincerely grateful to everyone who's contributed so far. i've gained alot and what i'm now thinking is if i'm not sure how God sees it, better [b]i leave it so as to keep my conscience clea[/b]r; but i haven't quite made up my mind completely on that. More contributions will certainly help.
that's the most important thing. It would be a sin if you gambled while thinking it's a sin. the bible is clear on that one.

Beaf:
we would need a few weighted rules about use of vowels and consonants e
Yeah, I think it'll be a complex set of rules because the combination of 2 or 3 letters could be common between both regions

ekt_bear:
2) Try to figure out the labels yourself by extracting useful features and doing some sort of clustering. The hope is that the features you extract create a large amount of space between words from different categories. Perhaps intonation is a useful feature for separating words, as Beaf suggests.
I think this will be the ideal solution although I don't think it'll be trivial. I guess the program should be able to take a bunch of names and create a set of rules to help it distinguish it from another set.

If it was a babe that's saying all these things you are saying, I would have understood. but a guy?, ,  c'mon

Topic aside, what do you do?

Mrs, Chima:
People can only speak of what they know and experienced.
Yup, that's why I considered sexkillz to be a bit inexperienced.

@sexkillz, again, I know a number of babes that'll really really reeaaally like you. where are you based?

Mrs, Chima:
Giving is a two way thing and it shouldn't be the reason why your relationship failed.
When it becomes a criteria for the relationship to continue nko?

I don't even believe your stand is honest. You're either just posing or naive.


Anyway, depends on the individual's goal in life and the kinda r/ship that moves you closer to that goal. I think a r/ship should
be beneficial to my life (FYI sex/companionship is not, it's just entertainment).
Christianity EtcRe: Is Betting Bad For A Christian? by Maximip(m): 4:45pm On Nov 20, 2011
HISchild:
friend,

at least two underlying principles of betting / gambling being unbiblical, and thus contrary to GOD and HIS holy word, are that (1). It requires putting one's trust in something else (teams' performance, another person, luck, etc),  other than in GOD, where it ought to be as a Christian / child of GOD. Legitimate work that is GOD given is a blessing, but gambling is another.  "But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day." - Deut 8:18

(2). When it (gambling) becomes addictive, and it can, and it does - it then truly becomes one's god, and essentially an idol in which one really trusts, and loves, implicitly and explicitly.  "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment." - Mark 12:30

If one's objective is to earn a little extra money to pay bills, then pray for wisdom, and perhaps take a second job or additional honest work to supplement your income.  If the objective is to be rich, then it is error. - "But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out.  And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." - 1 Tim 6:6-10
--------
"Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding." - Prov 3:5 

"It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man." - Psa 118:8 

"Thus saith the LORD; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the LORD." - Jer 17:5
The bible is so big and most people can always manipulate it to favor them but both your arguments are flawed.

1) Going by your first argument, buying stocks would be a sin. Waking up and going to work will be a sin, in fact getting an education should also be a sin because I'm doing something towards making money other than sleeping all day and trusting in God for money. Nothing in life is for certain 100% and everything can be described as a gamble.

2) When does gambling become addictive? why shouldn't you do someting you love doing more often if you're successful at it. And again, Almost everything can be addictive, Internet, Video games, Investing, TV, computers, BB

slap1:
Consider this: Whose money do you hope to gain? Is the person happy for the loss? Betting is a parasitic relationship, if you ask me.
Its a game, someone wins - someone losses just like project fame, idols and gulder ultimate search (these involve money too).

BCuZiMBlaCk:
Betting is gambling and gambling is greed. So decide for urself if it is one quality a christian should possess
Greed is not peculiar to gambling. you can be greedy without gambling while you can also be gambling without being greedy.

@sexkillz

These babe I described here is actually the norm. You'll be lucky to find the exception.

you give a girl 20k because she is always complaining of being broke. She didn't ask for it, You just felt you should do
something about it. She's a graduate (not working) but still living with parents.

She has always flashed you since the day you met her, blaming the broke-ness.

You know foolish people cannot discern right from wrong so that's exactly what she must think of you for assuming you'll
see nothing wrong in her not being able to spend N25 out of it on you. I mean, that would have been a sign that you helped the
situation. Would have been better if she didn't make contact at all.

Just pray you don't end up with such babes. girls that can't spare a little out of what they got for free would not spare from the one
they earned.

freecocoa:
@maximip,there's nothing like suggesting where to meet a particular type of girl but I'd like you to know that correct babes like you choose to call them exist and you know that,just maybe you haven't met one.
Sure, I know that. I've gone to the mountain about this issue so it's only a matter of time now  grin

Maximip, kind of where I was going.

That was a very good example you gave and there are many more like that.

Such an action is very selfish indeed. How costly is a few minutes call for instance.
It gets me so mad but I just behave myself and tag the babe appropriately in my head.

freecocoa:
But seriously divine[b],I wonder where all these type of girls you people complain about are[/b],does it mean there is no girl who have actually proved to you that she is independent and can reciprocate?seems to me like y'all are hanging with the wrong crowd.
We meet them at everyday places on the path of our daily lives. You're free to suggest places we can check for correct babes

I've been trying to figure that out too. I guess we're stuck with our these Naija babes till our country really improves.

Abegi, Lets hear another thing.

Even if you give without expecting anything back. Naija babes just makes you look so foolish.

e.g You give a lady 20k today as a gift, the next day she's flashing you to call her back. I mean, it's not just right.

ProgrammingProgramming/ Mathematics Challenge by Maximip(op): 1:10pm On Nov 18, 2011
I noticed that we hear a Nigerian name and easily tell where the person is from ie Emeka (South east) , Bayo (South west), etc. sometimes it's because we've heard the name before and learnt it's from a particular region and at other times, we can still tell just hearing the name for the first time.

Can you write a computer program to do same. take a name as input and outputs where the person is from? I think it'll be an interesting problem.

jennykadry:
poster can decide to listen to his dykk or his head. You can take her back honey, but prepare yourself with the fact that she might make you pay for all of these not now but after marriage.

A girl that is truly remorseful will camp outside your house until you forgive her. When I offend my husband with my big mouth, I sms him or go look for hhim@ work and apologise, and if we are home, I really apologise.

Truth is, she's more concerned as to whether she made the right decision by cheating on you and wanting to be with the other guy, shes more concerned for her future. I dont know how you will even want a girl that told you she has no feelings for you, are you so desperate?
Left to me, it won't even get to this level. Would have called it off like 6 months earlier. She'll be wondering why not knowing I
have seen the future already.

It still beats me why babes sometimes don't just call of the relationship when they begin having other interests. Why drag it, misbehave first
and make it very messy. Guys can handle whatever bad news the babes have to say, just lets get it over with.

[size=16pt]3. The reverse Nigerian Prince


We're all familiar with the Nigerian Prince scam that's spammed our email inboxes. In the scam, an emotional plea from Western Africa promises you gold and riches if you'll just help out with a little money first. Even though this is one of the most played-out email swindles in the history of the internet, it's still going on today. Now, however, a new variation has popped up.
An email arrives supposedly from Citibank Nigeria offering to help victims of the Nigerian Prince scam. Those responding with their full name and address are "eligible" for $50,000 in compensation. It won't take long for "Citibank" to reply, explaining that their names cannot be found in the database after a cursory search. There's still hope, however, by sending in a nominal fee ($50? $100? $500?), which will of course be refunded in full once their name has been found and the payment process started.
A closer look at the email reveals that it is hosted on a domain ending in .cn, which the email goes to great lengths to point out stands for Citibank Nigeria. Unfortunately, that's not true. The .cn extension actually indicates that the domain is based out of China — a fair distance away from Africa, wouldn't you say? Adding insult to injury, the addresses included in this email are sent from 9.cn, which is a Chinese version of Windows Live Mail; yes, the scammers are again using a free webmail provider.
The Nigerian government does not keep track of everybody who is tricked into sending money via the scam bearing the name of its country ([size=18pt]many "Nigerian" scams come from all over the world, including the United States and Europe[/size]). There is no fund chock-full of compensation. While Citibank does have a branch in Nigeria, the company is not involved in getting you any money back and does not have email addresses ending in the .cn extension.
If this one pops up in your email, have a laugh over the latest spin on this age-old scam and its feeble attempt to hook you in, and then hit delete. [/size] It's safest.
As the internet offers us new and interesting ways to connect, there will always be scammers trying to use those services to swindle you. But a little common sense goes a long way no matter what form the scam takes. Messages offering easy money, a plea for help, or any kind of emotional response from you need to be ignored. If you feel compelled to look further, make sure you verify the source to make sure it's not coming from a friend's account that has been hijacked.
I read the article some days ago. Just deny the damn country.
