You fetch! You fetch bacteria and diseases.

Tragic

slightlyMad: A president who takes to google adwords with the phrase "GEJ is working", same way Jumia and Konga runs advert
to advertise.

A president who recruits and pay youths to go on every social media including Nairaland to paint his fraudulent government in good light and defend his governance

A president who went on National TV with a careless phrase like "I dont give a damn" in a democratic system

A president who says he now has information on the sponsors of Boko Haram and did nothing

A president who negotiates with terrorists (No part of the world does this cos they are what they are, Terrorists. They will not change, and a leader should know this)

A president who kept a corrupt Aviation minister in office, even when she is being investigated. (a woman who should be relieved of her job first so that she will not be able to influence investigation)

A president who eats 1Billion naira meal when more than half the country's population are not sure of what to eat.


He is not my president and cant wait vote him out of office.

A president who did this and a president who did that!
For heaven's sake why do you narrow your veiw of Nigeria to the Presidency.
Have you ever paused to think that you too have a role to play in the development of your own country?
Have you ever paused to think that the president is human, hence not perfect?
Have you ever paused to observe that if youths are not recruited (as you claim) to defend Mr .PRESIDENT there are some unscrupulous elements here would go way past the boundaries of constructive critisms, and paint our president as a daft beast, and potray nigeria in the worst of lights?
Do you know the meaning of public relations.
Do you know how much social media affect our lives?
How often /or do you ever write articles here on NL to constructively criticize any Nigerian Leadership or do you positively contribute to such articles.
Do you have concrete evidence on what you alledged or you put two and two together?
Answer Me , My dear Fellow Nigerian.

Tadon200: when did tinubu contest for presidency ? abi lagos dn become nigeria? silly bigot.

and this is the problem!
You narrow your veiw of nigeria to the presidency or federal government.
Hence the Aparthy.

Let me not say it's African culture (seeing as i've not been out of the shores of Naija.), i'ld rather narrow my observation to the typical Nigerian Environment.
Therefore i'ld say it's mostly Nigerian Culture for individuals to turn up at their favourite/local/flagship grocery store and activate their credit facility.
Words like "madan give me 1 tin of milk, bread, chocolate...book me down", or "...i go pay tommorow even when the... 'no credit today, come tommorow' wallpaper is staring vividly at you (you no dey even send the paper).
Of course every Nigerian grocery store operator is respectful and happy with a 'pay as you go' customer especially when he/she buys quality commodities and in bulk.
However these operators, most of the time, seen to frown upon credit requests,
especially when it appears like it's gonna be a recurring decimal.
My freind's dad once upon a time, applied for such credit facility from a nearby grocery store(and it wasn't the first nor second nor third time in two weeks. obviously the store operator -a woman- wasn't smiling, in fact, she was wearing a marvelous frown.
Nevertheless, my freinds dad continued to name items(and they were bulky) in his items request list, with a 'my face nor dey fear your face' tone..(lol).
Apparently, this seemed to have irritated the lady and she gave out a loud sigh of- maybe fustration, and then she let out an intimidating "na wa o", but since she wasn't courageous enough to outrightly turn down baba's request, she didn't succeed in intimidating the 'baba werey' (lol).
Of course he went home with his bounty, and told his funny story.

I've requested items on credit once or twice from a nearby grocery store. And every such-time, i've found myself unable to look in the face of the grocery store operator, because even if the madam was cool, i never failed to suspect she makes faces at me when i turn my back.(lol) silly, isn't it? Well thats me.
So Fellow nairalanders, are you as undaunted as my freinds dad, when using your credit request, or do you look down and act shy when making this cultural request..
Please share your veiws.
Happy sharing!

Afam4eva: I think you mean Ameze Imarhiagbe

yes sir you're very correct, infact i & mum were just arguing about the spelling before your post came to the rescue. Thanks sir.

Fellow Nairalanders i salute.
Infact my mum has been requesting me to open this thread, but i've been somewhat lackadaisical about it. Well, today after the emotional blackmail (which most mothers are very good at.)
i decided to open this thread.
The truth is, mum used to be / is a great fan of Ameze Imarhiagbe of Living in bondage/ Suicide mission Fame.
Mum can't remember vividly what role she played in Living in bondage, but in suicide mission, (which i was privy to watch, although was little)- we can remember she played as (RMD)'s first wife before (Regina Askia) bottled him spiritually.
'Nuff said...
So please my fellow forumites, if you're privy to any latest development/info regarding this Wonderful actress, please do not be hesitant to share with us..
Thanks a lot.
please Mods, if it be possible, let this cup...i mean Thread, pass over to Frontpage. thanks in Advance.

Djtm: Assuming you want to display a different message for different conditions. Like "Good morning" in the morning and good afternoon in the afternoon can you do that with html? Echo is used to diplay stuffs. Let's say you want to display today's date <? echo date("d j Y"; ?>.

ooooohh!!
Now i grasp. Thanks a lot boss. I appreciate

From my little research about php earlier today, i made an inconclusive discovery that php, is sort of a server side technology.
I was given an example , that something like this

w3schools: PHP Source:
Output Result:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<h1>My first PHP page</
h1>
<?php
echo "Hello World!";
?>
</body>
</html>

interpretes to

w3schools: My first PHP page
Hello World!
Copyright: W3Schools.com

now i'm like 'why should i use the above quoted, when i can generate same 'hello world' with
<!doctype html>
<html><head>
</head>
<body><p>hello world</p></body> </html> I'm confused. Pls sirs help me out.

One can use such free hosting site's as a plattform for learning anyways. It is not advisable to open a commercial/target audience website with a free host.

I'm sympathetic to this woman, having once experienced what women married to some of this so called Rich, powerful politicians go through.

fkaz: Even his emergence as a governor was an accident

sounds
witty.

Suru--lere!!! Su-ru- laaaaaìye mi o.. DOKITA WOLE... Oya jeka sèrè.. This tune is worth it!!

This is In Response to the release of 'Surulere', a joint by one of Mavin Record's surviving exports:
Sydney Esiri (Dr.sid) and Producer, Ajereh Collins(Don Jazzy), and please Mods i'ld really love for this to be on Front Page.
Initially when i saw the thread, i was like 'is a song from dr.sid worth downloading?... Can anything good emanate from nazareth?
another nairalander wondered if the song was worth his precious MB (megabytes worth of data).
If you patronise Nigerian music, you'll naturally understand the source of my reluctance and hesitation.
Apparently, more critics, have written off the likes of Dr.sid as 'not in the least talented' and 'vegetables of the industry' because of his very poor delivery of music.
And even as i was encouraged to download the tune,
by the earlier comments on the Surulere Thread, and also the 'Never write any one off' part of Me.
I won't deny that a part of me was curious to know the latest 'crap' our Dr Sid has excreted.
and the producer part of me was like- ' i'll compensate my effort, with Don Jazzy's soothing Beat, and maybe be inspired to visit Propellerhead and Avid, to challenge Don baba Jay' [i enjoy cloning his work at my leisure time]- but i was dissapointed to hear Dr sid making passionate Love to this wonderful Beat by Don Jazzy, both Lyrically, Vocally, Rhythmically and what have you.
not only was i dissapointed, but i thought i made a mistake by looking forward to hear Dr Sid's signature tune, when apparently , This was a new guy singing! A new born again Dr.sid!!! 'nì tori olowun!!' who converted Dr.sid
The answer to this may not be far from the fact that Dr Sid, Having been neglected and written off, in the past, would naturally want to purge himself, and work harder, bring out the best in him and prove a point to the critics. Moreso at a time when he shares Don jazzy's attention, with Less comrades. and from further indications, Dr sid is not the only player in the prove-a-point game . Don-Jazzy is also making an interesting effort to prove that he can 'work with the negatives, and make for better pictures'. Any negative for that matter.
Its true that ever since D.banj walked out of the old Mo-hits (which we all loved) more spectators taught Don Jazzy wouldn't do too well with the rest of the crew. and with the release of each tune other than Tiwa savage' from Mavin Records, these spectators thought they hadn't been proved wrong. coupled with the latest 'Baby face' Controversy, which had wande, officially disowned from
The Label, quite a number of spectators thought the fall of the Label was imminent.
All these, could be contributing factors to make Don Jazzy work hard to bring out the best in himself. Quite expected and to Dr sid's advantage too, because he gets more attention.
On a final note -i'll love to recollect the humourous comment of A fellow Nairalander who, in mock response to another nairalander, who asked albeit humourously in typical nairaland fashion - 'and who is dr.sid?'- she said - Dr.sid is the Doctor that prescribes locust beans to cure aids.(now that got me really cracking!). and thinking back, this song is in a sense, like using locust beans to cure aids, because Dr.sid did something only a few expected. Something most of us critics thought was impossible of him!!
And in appreciation and compensation for my neglect of Dr.sid i want to say , more grease to your elbows Dr sid, and be grateful for your Producer too. Cheers to my fellow Nairalanders, and remember never to write anybody off.
Merry chrismas in advance.

Archmage: Following... I know css and html too. Had to abandon php cos of sch.

you're very welcome Archmage.

This thread is really enlightening. Carryon

Talk about enlightment, give credit to my oga's at the top, they're the best!

Djtm: well, they'll own the domain and can withdraw or sell it at any time. Anything can happen to the domain at any time so don't be suprised if you wake up one morning and find out your domain isn't pointing to your site anylonger

you have a point Dj. And as Sir zino said 'in its entirety, nothing is entirely free".
In that regard, maybe i'll just use the extension as a sort of practical medium to understand host/client relationship.

wisemania: baba if uv strted readin d ebook,ull notice dat Jquery waz implemented 4rm chapter 4 2d end,so ull av 2 grasp just d basics of jQuery 2 understand it...dat wz y i left it 2 study js/jQuery...good luck....

Thank you sir.
Apparently, you think js seems to be undermined by web developers around here.
What could be the reason for this?

zino-fego:
In its entity, nothing is
entirely free. I don't
think .tk is even a TLD.
Hosting is quite cheap
these days and are
everywhere. What's your
budget like? I can work
something out for you at

client_area.
Thank you.

o.k sir, i'm profoundly grateful for your assistance.

Djtm: Don't use dot.tk for anything serious (or semi serious). You'll end up regretting it.

brother, what is your reason. Because i am planning on patronising them.

soe: It is true that we are begging him o, but not to contest o...GEJ please do not contest please, Otuoke needs you more, Nigeria is too big for you to handle, we have had so many deaths in just 4years of your rule already...we are tired, no solution in-sight, so much of corruption, so much of talk no action, so much of partying and private jets...no single record victory over corrupt officers. Too much of tribalism...and what's more, You had no shoes, but yet You could afford school...why? because the govt. cared for shoeless citizens like you then, but under your government, even those that have shoes can't afford quality education...is this how it's going to be till 2019? We can't continue recycling the same old bunch of power mongers...we need a new team...let's do this right this time.

why are you been like this?
Do you know the magnitude of responsibilities attached to mr president's office.

Was there better education during baba's tenure?

The new team you need, is it APC ? The same party wooing the same old bunch called G7?
Or is the same old General Buhari?
Or the same old ANPP, A.C, and the rest, who acquired only a new name.. Not a new skin.. What new team are you referring to?

If there is anything new in nigeria, its president Jonathan, and his peculiar style of Leadership.(Mr president LEADS, he doesn't RULE
and i think thats his only undoing, cos i think we nigerians prefer command prompts to plea strokes.
