so you saw OP mention that she leaves home at 5am, comes back at 10pm and writes report till 12am (without even hinting at the fact that she might be willing to tone it down). . .majority of the folks here hinged their reply on that fact.

as i said earlier, this thread should have been posted in family, not in romance.

@jennykadry
why you no fly off the handle now? abi you dey fear iya basira?

@iya basira
you considered her comment in a vacuum, did you see the original post?

lol. . .i have to try this on a baby i swear. . .

@sissy
thanks

the AMD would be a better buy in this case, it's a dual core while the celeron is a single core processor

also the AMD hard drive is larger. however AMD processors heat up more than intels.

@tomcat
i know just wanted to use it to benchmark for when they finally deploy the glo1

P.S. how can you tell when a company is using subsea cables? i know you said from the traceroute or speedtest but i still dont get how you do it. . .

^thanks,

i'll say this in passing: to put up with all the insults etc, seun deserves a nobel peace prize, and the other mods too, walahi i just dey wish say i fit dey the same room with some people on this NL, seriously, if i woze them, they'll have multiple 'heavenly feelings'.

that said i still consider seun a nuisance [size=5pt]at least until he gives me my developmental subsection and gets rid of this word filter thingy.[/size]

@debosky

debosky:
Hehehe. . . .so the rumour spreading has shifted to Pataki? 

Abeg name names, I always have time for a good ol' nl scandal - those claiming they have lives should keep on doing so.

As for me, I unashamedly live for salacious gossip and nairaland scandals. 

@debosky

@Thread,

hello everybody,
normal work on going here except some devil brother guy who does not want to approve our design,
he has been doing "shakara" for us, now he is surprised that his companies directors are leaning on him
they told him that if he does not approve it by friday, he should not bother coming in to work on monday. power pass power

as usual with all EPC jobs, when your work moves from design to construction, another basket case opens up

@netose,
the stuff the guy is holding us on is with regards to electrical ooo, impedence, supply fault current, drop volt calculations, switch gear, earthing etc,
my head wan scatter, i feel like telling them that i get homeboy for nairaland wey fit run this calculations 

yes. Linked in will be good for you at this stage, you will make contacts and see people who might inspire yoy i.e with their CVs or job spec
lets yarn ODS sometime soon

eh ya. . .yep i faced those issues with one of our manufacturers before, [size=5pt]i come dey give the guy tutorial on what a fault current is. . .lol[/size] i'll get on that linkedIN tip today, was wondering whether it wont be wayyyyy out of my league.

we should talk o. . .make all of una dey show me the light.

@djcn
your reasoning makes sense, i for don dey your side 100% if not for the way that these glo people have been shifting the goalpost on this glo1 launch thingy, are we fools? why cant they come out with a date and stick to it?

i'll try glo 3g in abj and see wassup with it sha

AjanleKoko:
Okay. Cos you mentioned the US in respect to the bank LC palaver.

LinkedIN? It's a business networking website. Like a facebook for people looking for business and work.

i get that bit, but is it worthwhile for someone at my stage in life?

@thread
just watched an interview on TV, one Eyo Ekpo guy, he's on the presidential meinene on power(i think he's BPE), i'm going to hunt him down and pick his brain apart. . .the guy made maddddd sense o!

AjanleKoko:
Do you mean it's not dollar-denominated?

No worry, you go get used to am. Na the real 'bizniz' be that

what they said was that since it was in dollars, it had to conform to american financial rules(their english isn't bunz at all o, the bank was a swedish bank, the manufacturers reps are lithuanian)

what's the 411 on this linkedin thing? i remember you mentioned something about it earlier, is it a good idea?

4llerbuntu:
AHA!!! i need advice too nah!!!, pls help oooo, am getting outta my head too. or do i have to start another thread? just answer here pls.
people of NL!!

what you need is deliverance. . .lol


i'd like to suggest that this thread be moved to 'family', that way there'll be less distractions due to the romance sections peculiar brand of experts. . .

[quote author=*Hauwa* link=topic=507652.msg6713999#msg6713999 date=1283866860]finally, finally  hope she can cook ofe onugbu and white soup (his favorite)

congrat sea mate [/quote]how did you know what his favourite soup is? it's obvious you have been toasted. . .repent!

@OP
for now, it's just cooking, it might end up being more, i'm all for women working and finding themselves but 5am to 10pm? writing reports till 12am? that's way beyond too much, when do you have time for your husband? how does he feel about it?

men have egos o, while you're trying to get him over to his side, make sure you're careful not to put yourself in a position where his ego is bruised. Cos if it becomes a matter of ego then you'll have a very bad case.

personally the idea of my wife coming consistently home after me is just wrong.

of which this isn't a 'romance' topic, the OP is missing out on a lot of good advice, heck if it was in family, there's no way mr cork would have found it to post his brand of  errr. . .wisdom.

thankfully i wont be around when my boss sees the latest mail we have from one of our manufacturers, after all the stress of opening an LC for the

manufacturing of some insulators like this(it's taken close to 4 months for something that should be around a month), with us having to switch

banks in the middle of the deal sef, the manufacturers just mailed us to say their bankers wont accept the LC cos it's dollars denominated and the

bank that we used for the LC which i wont mention. . .(what the heck, it's *drumroll*. . .unitybank) is on a list of banks the US thinks have 'k-leg', so

we have to either change the currency used for the LC or change the bank involved, we're already behindschedule on the project the insulators are

meant for, and it's starting to look like the goods wont have been manufactured by the time the LC is set to close, (and we've already extended the

LC once because of all the wahala), i wonder which wayo oga will use to sort this matter out.

On another note, i went snooping in the office and saw the terms the specialists coming to help us are getting and i'm like 'so me i'm not a human

being abi?'. . .i just dey wait make dem call staff meeting by mistake

this has me wondering if i want to have anything to do with the business side of things, all these bankers sef. . .

The absence of fibre links for some providers between Lagos and the rest of the country will mean that improved services will be restricted to the Lagos area for now. This, I think, is particularly true of Starcomms and etisalat. They will likely redirect their Lagos traffic (which is the bulk in terms of demand) through the undersea cables and for us in the rest of the country it will likely be access through slow satellite links. And the result is that costs are unlikely to come down soon and they will face harse competition from Providers that have such links like glo and MTN.

NCC licensed some long distance carriers like NEPSKOM and Alheri Engineering. They were supposed provide the sort of cross country links that companies like starcomms and etisalat can buy capacity from. It will save them money as the infrastructure will be shared and maintained by the carrier company. As far as i know NEPSKOM is all barely existing, Dangote (Alheri) strung some fibre between Lagos and Benin 2 years and now  cement business seem to be the most on his mind.  

Thats where glo has an advantage. It has fibre links from Lagos through, ibadan, Abuja, Kaduna, Kano. I hear also it runs from Abuja to Jos, Markurdi Yola and maiduguri. Dunno much about the coverage in the east sha. If and when they get their act together and truly launch, they can easily deploy this bandwidth further than most  providers cos of these cables. So that's why when glo made the announcement about their cable, people paid attention cos of this potential to reach inland but alas, information management is not their strong point hence the back and forth story telling and subsequent intense frustration we all feel.

As for MTN in Abuja, they are the network to beat. I can attest to the fact that their speeds have improved vastly. On browsing alone I get 1.5mbps on the average, when downlowning using accelerators i get up to 2.6mbps. My only gripe is that the data allowance is so expensive and runs out so fast. They also have extensive fiber network and they appear to be using them. They are really not much noise makers when it comes to infrastructure investments. I heard from a contractor of theirs the other day that MTN wants to incorporate Universities in their metro fibre link project to provide internet access to institutions in towns where their fibre passes. Now if its true, its fantastic and yet MTN may just keep quiet and spring a surprise. Imagine the bandwidth market in just half of Nigerian Universities.

If it were glo, they would be at the rooftops talking about what is not yet on ground using annoying superlative terms. MTN is annoying expensive, but action is better than noise. I'll go for expensive action other than cheap noise.

I hope glo learns to keep their mouths shut and their hands busy. I hope they launch sooner than later, cos the prospects are there

@goggs
PHCN has fibre optic cable attached to it's 330kV transmission lines(and some 132kV) as skywire, in the north the cables are leased to 3phase telecoms(cornelius adebayo) in the south dancom (dangote) i hear one of them just awarded a contract to build 700 base stations(and an NOC i think) they can be used to carry the traffic to different parts of the country(i think they are already being used sef, i'm not so sure), the downside is that once in a while, the cables might be vandalized.

take the time to watch the cartoons and decide what you feel is best for your child. . .yes there will be times when the child will disobey, but should that stop you from doing the right thing?

kai. . .the wind is blowing furiously (for those that know )

@spikey
see ehn because of you, ika has rubbished me, _{the least you could do is go out with me}. . .[size=4pt]my lips may not be as big as saga's but i've always been told i have a big mouth sha[/size]. . .

^ na state house of reps o. . .dont know what it means, all i know is it's buhari's party.

the office is nearly empty, er'one's gone for Jumat. . .the boredom that is doing me doesn't have part 2. . .yday wasn't so bad, had to draw up a couple of invoices for some installations we're going to be doing soon.

i gather installation is usually a certain percentage of the cost of the equipment, i was told circa 17% can anyone comment on this?

and then, what is the point of asking for a discount or saying you want to negotiate when all that happens is someone(in this case poor me) is told, "add 25% to the price for the purpose of negotiation and discount" ? isn't it a study in hypocrisy?

my bosses nephew is running for office in 2011, i just dey pray make im win, i go just relocate to kaduna UP CPC!

read the business page of guardian newspaper of thursday september 2 2010

it says Globacom $600 mill facility to crash telecoms rates by 40%

does that mean 10k subscription will now be 6k?

pls someone good in maths do the rest. . . . . . . , . . . . .

MTN may be in trouble now. . . . . . . . . hope they have had enough of extreme ripping off of customers and ready to be sane.

on the down side, if prices do get slashed, we can expect the new rates to be permanent for the next 10 years. since glo brought per sec and slightly reduced rates, the prices for calls have been static.!!!!

father where art thy face ooooo, this bleeding is out of hand

you don forget that these days the newspapers specialize in publishing press releases word for word abi?. . .i no believe anything until i see the physical manifestation. . .

googles and mr cork >>>>>> nuisances

When you posted that you scheduled an appointment for September 9, and your school resumes Sep 8, I had a terrible feeling to that.You just got denied and more likely you would be again if I did nothing.Computing is my field and I know the algorithmic design of VFS, that's why you are able to get Sept 1.It is so sad that you didn't acknowledge "think2ce" at all after you have gotten your visa.[b]As a matter of fact, you ain't the first to do that.I really hate ingrate[/b]s, and this is why am usually silent here.

@aroy1
i'm sure there was a better way you could have stated that. . .
