Hi guys!
I've got an opening for a very creative graphics designer (Using Adobe Photoshop and InDesign) to work for a digital magazine publisher in Lagos!
Any one interested should send a mail to contact@theoinitiative.com.ng.
Kindly attach any relevant documents such as previous designs and editions you've worked on!
Cheers!

new maonza: Boy Whatz really wrong being an employee ? I also wanna ask You what your Priorities are, If itz really to make Money and be stupendously rich then please stop Soft-ware Development and start thinking figures like an ALABA boy or Dangote, You really cant beat this dudes at their thing, another question i will like to ask You is that when You build that wonderful business of yours,are you not going to employ Victims(employees) in it or are you gonna be the chairman, accountant, lawyer, soft ware developer, clerk................................. I just smell FEAR in You

I feel you jooor...
Cause everybody is getting into all these entrepreneural crap as if being employed is an abomination, go check out IBM and Coke's longstanding employees, they are doing far better than most people who claim to be self-employed.
Some people are bright and effective but they need to be told exactly what to do, try leaving those people to themselves and they'll be completely clueless!
If you play your cards right either as an employee or employer, you'll have more than enough perks on retirement!

Billyonaire: Why would anyone study computer science or computer engineering at this age and time. These knowledge are all over the internet.

Now thats just an ignorant statement!
Computer Science is actually more of a theoritical approach, it's becos programming is likeable that people who dont have formal degrees are able to do it!
I would not regard an NIIT programmer as a Computer Scientist becos it's way more than coding!
I mean, the guy wld prbably not know the slightest thing about algorithm runtimes!
Do you think google stands on just the lines and syntax of python, C++ and Java??

Soooo OP, I think the conclusion of the matter is that guys should stop competiting with pregnant women and get fit!

O boy! It is very important O!
If I expect a particular figure from my wife, I should also give her the same...
I mean I shld be able to remove my shirt in public without worrying naaa.... Plus when you see fit guys in attires (corporate or a casual Tee) there's an air around them rather than a protruding tummy (u dey follow your pregnant wife compete)...
All those guys who say they've tried and it did not work are plain lazy or doing it all wrong...
If you have a big tummy, first shead the weight around that area by serious aerobic drils and cutting down on food, then begin to work on the packs... The packs is actually one sheet of muscle below the tummy layer, so it will never show under a big chunk of fat mass...
I have been working on it for about 6weeks now and I can see the effects vividly...
#MyTwoCents

Yeah!
Saw it on ma fb wall dis morning and deciced to give my NL paddies a good laugh!

NEMESIS is wen u submit your answer sheet with ur expo (sheet used for
exam malpractice) inside...
RACISM is wen a white iPhone costs more than a black one...
LONG THROAT is wen u take a gal out on a sunny
day and she orders 4 a hot plate of pepper soup... *smh*...
A WITCH is that girl that eats nkwobi, fish pepper soup, shawama, suya, kilishi, chicken n chips, burger, drinks smirnoff, farouz. And when you take her home she says "sorry I'm on my period"..
OVERSABI is when you are eating salad with a girl and she says "honey, this food no done (not well cooked)"...
OLODO(idiot) is when you are in a plane with a girl and she says "honey I'm hot, can you please roll down the glass"...
A HUNGRY child is that kid dat sees you eating and says "my mummy said I shldn't take food from strangers"...
A STUBBORN child is that kid dat wakes up in d middle of d night when daddy and mummy are having a gud tym nd says "mummy I want 2 piss (ease myself)"... Now; STINGYNESS is when you finish reading through this and you refuse to comment!

naija_swag: Firstly, are you computing a program or trying to write one.

I want to believe that you have taken a course on C++. Whether you have grasped the language or not is not the issue, what you need now is to use it and solve a problem and for me I believe that you can learn through this process.

The first thing you should do is to model the problem you have. In Java, you can have a class to represent each Students result and this class can have score, subject and grade etc as it's field. The computation of student's results in the University don't differ over rge years so the same program will do for the 100 and 200L. In some cases the GP contribution of the years differ in percentages. You have to take those into account.

class StudentResult {
private String studentName;
private String studentLevel;
private int studentScore;
private String studentGrade;

private List<Double> listOfGps;

//constructor and getter and setter classes
}

You can now have a Class that has methods for calculating GP and CGPA respectively.

class GradesCalculator {

public double CalGP(List<StudentResult> listOfStudentResult){

///logic here

return gp;
}


public double CalCGPA(List<Double> listOfGps){

///logic here

return cgpa;
}

public String getGrade(Double cgpa){

//logic here

return grade // firstclass, 2classupper, lower, 3rd, pass and fail.
}

}

Now you can have a driver class to test your result. It will deal with how you will input the student information and result in other to get the cgpa, it could be a gui or via standard input say a keyboard. Also bear in mind that since this does not include persistence, you have to supply every information each time to get result.

This should get you thinking and asking questions as I have left somethings out. It's not a program but a pointer for you to get started.

Chairman!!!
From the OP's conversation, you shld be able to ascertain his level of proficiency...
I doubt he'll understand what you just did.
Easy mahn!

Rayjaymay: So how will i start by using the algorithm

Just take a sheet of paper and write a step by step process of the way the program will compute from input to the desired result...
Do that and put it here, we'll continue from there!

expertfingers: Why don't you start by writing the algorithm?

Yeah!
@OP You should definitely start there, cause whichever data structure you will use will be determined by your algorithm.
The code itself will be a piece of cake once you have a working algorithm...

I usually don't comment often here because it's full of narrow minded people who can't prove from the bible IN CONTEXT some of the trash they spill from their mouth.
Enough already with all the cultural crap we call religion, the OP asked a question and someone like 'tipia@' cldnt even give a reason for the comment and said it didn't deserve one forgetting that the bible also say we should be ready to answer any one who asks for the reason for our belief, it being an apologetic!!!
Not just releasing crap that was imbibed in a church for organizational convinience and calling it a rule!
Am not against what your church lays down as'house rules' so as to maintain order, just don't pass it on as a standard from God!!!
Sheesh...

Javanian: Reminds me of this advert i saw on nairaland sometime ago https://www.nairaland.com/1017296/job-vacancy-web-designer-abujafood.com

Super hillarious!
Hehehe!

We'll probably be more comfortable if you show us a piece of code you have written which does not work, then we can help out!
Have you tried doing the basic stuff like 'Hello World' and Scanner class

Itz been a while I coded in VB.NET but am sure you can place both gridviews on different tabs on the same tab control.
Don't place them directly on the form, rather put each on it's respective tab from scratch!

mikovo2002: Kudos to nairalander,@ Nov1ce, you are a great nairalander, your sugestion is helpful.am grateful thanks. God bless

UW!

Fayimora: Slightly off topic question.. Why do Nigerians, well not all but most, care so much about certifications?

Cos we live in a papered economy my friend!
But I have absolutely zip interest in certifications, I have paid for trainings without writing the certification exams at the end of the day!, am a biggie of 'showing me what you can do' rather than 'telling me what you can do'...

Check out SMSLive, eStore SMS or Ozeki.
I think eStore is one of the easiest to implement, although if you are good with DB tins, you can use Ozeki in a way that'll save you some time off writing code...

mikovo2002: I am not, must I be a programmer
Pls if you one Tell me

You don't have to be a programmer, but mind the use of 'develop'.
Just google 'Open source quiz maker', there's a vast collection of quiz makers (premium and free). Read through their documentation and pick the one which best suits you.
Cheers!

candy: Nobody is advising against smacking your kid, just know that you will only get negative result when
you smack a kid that is throwing a tantrum, wether at home or in public. Smacking there and then will
make the kid more difficult, he'll cry more and you as a mum will not like it.

Believe me, GOOD smacking emphasis on the 'GOOD' will do a whole lot. My last brother was very stubborn, as stubborn as going to about 5 or 6 different nursery and primary schools cause they kept rejecting him when they got fed up, he's once locked my mom in the house before and took the key to school (like nursery school ooooOoO), a friend had to go and beg and bribe him before he dropped the key, cause mumsy had an appointment.
But in the middle of all that, there's a point you beat a stubborn child to that he starts shouting and crying all over the place (most parents stop there...BIG MISTAKE), just take it a little further and the shouts will become silent tears.
And all that don't discipline physically is all crap, my brother is in university currently and has a very healthy self esteem!

Give the child proper 'abara' that lingers for about 20 mins...
E no go try am again!

advocate666: ah! but the day is not over yet

They said the sun will not rise naaaa....
And some parts of the world don dey hot afternoon...Hehehehe!

According to some folktale, it's either y'all reading this post did not live right or the end of the world has been postponed (probably because I never hammer yet...lol) cause the sun looks pretty good from here!

ileobatojo: The key for you would be prevention then. Just avoid doing what triggers the tantrums till he is old enough to understand or shop while he sleeps or something. Otherwise you will have to cut your shopping trips short and take him home immediately he starts and apply a time out. The response should be immediate though. No coddling and cajoling or else he will continue to do it. Personally I would smack my kid if he does that repeatedly when we are outside. If he can understand that a tantrum should be thrown when he wants something, he can understand that a smack will be given when he throws the tantrum. A hard smack to the back of his hand should swiftly do the trick. Follow with brief explanation of what he should do instead. Yes a smack may be a shortcut but I need to be able to shop in peace.

I feel you!!!

Do you pay tax on money given (freewill) to you
People are just bias because of their perspective and opinions about the church...
What the church makes as income is not a charge to members, it's a freewill gift!

It's obviously GEJ naaa...
No be una call am 'Odechukwu'...
Hehehe!

I am sooo loving JOKE SILVA and OLU JACOBS ehn....

One of my happiest moments would be to do an epic alongside the two!

But Liz Benson cuts it for me to oooo...

I'll go for three of them, cause as much as they are all good, they have their strong points...

Thanks!

Hi Y'all,
I would like recommendations from practical use / experience on the best platform to setup in order to do e-commerce in Nigeria. It should allow EASY payment integration (preferably plugins).
Thanks...
