Kobojunkie:
hhm . . . mayb you should focus on the issue instead !

Yea, I agree, though u tend to push people to go off the line atimes.

Kobojunkie:
You did not answer the question. If you feel you did, please repost the exact line where you provide me these answers.

By the way, I did not make any CLAIMS, I simply based my argument on my thoughts on the issue after considering patterns I have observed over years on this. This I made clear about 3 or 4 posts ago.

This is what I wrote after you asked why they should be stopped from being in the primaries.

onye_ngbu:
Are you telling me that you no longer know why party primaries are conducted?

Lets say you dont.
Primaries are meant to produce party flag bearers and thats why PDP should stop any candidate who is not from the region the ticket is zoned to.

Agreement is for rotational government which begins from the primaries.

What are you driving at sef.

if there is any other question you are referring to or you feel my answer doesnt make sense to you, I'd like to hear it.

And yes! It is all [b]claims [/b]you were making because you do not have anything to support "your thoughts on the issue after considering patterns you have observed over years on this" .
I was quoting you there.

Kobojunkie:
That does not answer the question.
How about this, re-read all I have posted on this so far. Pause for serious deep thought. Take some time to read some reports from past primaries and then come back and post a response.

Whenever you lack stuffs to support your claims, you sometimes come off as annoying.

You asked why an agreement to zone presidency should stop people where it was not zoned to and I gave you the answer and all you could come up with is to ask me to go back and read all I have read before.

Ranoscky:
^^I'm never in support of homosexuality but, so long as this world is concern, same gender sex or different gender sex, all na fornication and leads to 1 punishment!. homosexual is a different style of fornication. then make we ask ourselfs who amongst us for NL never fornicate b4?

a perverted form of fornication which is not only frowned by our laws but that of God and the soceity!

Kobojunkie:
Maybe I should ask you better questions on this to help you. Why would anybody stop them from being part of previous PDP primaries?  The agreement DOES NOT STOP them. I am not sure why you believe IT SHOULD. The agreement is for rotational government . . what other agreement is there that mandates that ONLY CANDIDATES from the same region can contest?

Are you telling me that you no longer know why party primaries are conducted?

Lets say you dont.

What are you driving at sef.

Kobojunkie:
I think it might be best if you look back at what happened during the 2007 PDP Primaries, and how many people already knew who was to run on the PDP Ticket even before the end. If you can, read some of the reports during that period to get a better picture of how PDP probably handles their business. It is just naive to ask why people from other regions were allowed to run during those primaries when it is easy for one to conclude [/b]from events of past that those events were [b]likely orchestrated for the benefit of the public.

Haba Kobo,

That reply doesnt look like what you should write. Even your weakest argument I have seen on NL is never based on hearsay and wild guess.

Can you cite one single incident, article or statement from any PDP member to suggest that PDP primaries in 1998 and 2002 and 2006 were all conducted with contestants from both north and south just for the benefit of the people?

Abeg look for something else to say if you cannot pull up something to support your claim.

Fact is that nobody stopped, Gemade, Rimi and then Rochas from being part of previous PDP primaries they should not be in due to  the so called agreement.

You people should rather be suggesting that the president should contest in the primaries but PDP should make sure they rig him out to maintain their gentleman agreement.

It is my opinion that the questions you ask here show you two are a bit too naive on what goes on during elections than you are willing to accept.

Abegi, educate me on this naivety issue as it concerns the gentleman arrangement and what goes on during elections.

You will be suprised at how prompt I will be  to accept my naivety.

shogbenga:
even though pdp has a zoning arrangement in place, i think the party is flexible about it. it is on record that late abubakar rimi contested the pdp primaries against obj despite the zonning. are we saying that if he had won the primaries, pdp wouldnt have allowed him to contest. However we should be interested in getting the best candidate for 2011 to run the affairs of the country, even if the person is a yoruba man.

It is not just that Rimi and OBJ, Rochas Okorocha also contested PDP primaries with Yar Adua and came second.

How come the 'gentleman agreement' was not cited then.

Why didnt PDP stop him from even declaring interest since the arrangement has been there since 1998.


Some people need to think, abeg.

bk/babe99:
This Ekwueme guy is Ibo? lol. No surprises there. . . . .

You are gradually evolving into something that will soon be sounding like becomrich.

Keep on with it!

It is not about him being a good person or not.

What he said is good if it is true.

Im saying  that theres something in it for him.  He is not known for coming out to speak the truth in times of confusion.

OAM4J:
Who cares what his side of story is?

The fact remains that he stole money, laundered money, arrested in UK, he jumped bail in UK ran back to Nigeria, after he was impeached, was arrested and taken to court, he pleaded guilty and was convicted.

So tell me which part of the above is not clear enough?

You better start caring about other people's side of story. especially when it was about Nigerian politics.

~Bluetooth:
dont tell me you believe this crap.the picture of his disguise made headline then including that of dariye.i refused to be fooled !!!!

Can I see the picture please.

Kobojunkie:
Most 99.5% of our politicians fall under that category -- not good people. So, I am not certain why we suddenly want to judge this one on that. The fact is the man OWNED the agreement and even goes as far as to state that he was among those who demanded the agreement. Note he did not say the HAUSA's Manufactured it.
As for commenting on whether Goodluck can run for 2011, you and I know that in politics, you try to play safe and it is not surprising that he chose here to do same.

What I meant by him not being a good person is that as regards his stand on the issue, he might be saying those things because there is something in it for him. Not because he is standing for justice and thats why I wondered why he didnt take a step further and call a spade what it rightly is by saying that going by the  PDP arrangement, the President should not run.

Why is it hard for him to say it  if he is such a good person.

Do you think it will be a hard thing for Gani or Soyinka to say if they are in Ekwueme's position?

Sagamite:
Are you saying for a second Alams is not a thief that looted public funds?

I am not saying that Alams is not a thief and I am not also in position to say he is  . . . .

below is the link to his own side of the story.

http://www.sunnewsonline.com/webpages/news/national/2010/may/23/national-23-05-2010-001.htm


This is what he said about dressing like a woman to return to naija.

Q: How did you eventually return to Nigeria?
I have said it before. Every other day, the Metropolitan Police came to my house. So one of those days, they took me out of London to an awaiting aircraft and when I asked where they were taking me, they said, look we don’t want your political problems. Go and solve it. The day we saw your Nigerian Attorney General in court making that type of statement, we knew that it was not a criminal matter but political and we are not interested in getting involved. So I was flown to Ivory Coast. They had warned me not to say certain things they did. So I was lucky a Nigerian was coming to do business in a chartered aircraft because I had no passport.

I was just stranded in Ivory Coast in the evening when this Good Samaritan saw me. He was excited and asked what I was doing in Ivory Coast and I narrated my ordeal. So he said I should join him and he brought me back to Nigeria. I got home late. We flew to Lagos and the same aircraft took me to Port Harcourt. It was in Lagos I called my ADC to come and pick me at the airport and that was how I got home. I never dressed like a woman to escape from London. There were a lot of things and I am only abridging it because the stories are highly classified. The only thing I can say is that it is unfortunate.

It is good that he pointed out that there was such an agreement.

But why didnt he answer the question on whether GJ should run in 2011. That should have made him a more  honorable man.



Ekwueme is not a good person he appears to be. He is one of the silent vices that is holding Anambra back today.

He have his hands on anything political in anambra.

Concerning this Alams appointment:

Have you guys not read Alams' own side of that UK conviction story.

The interview was on one Sunday sun of few weeks back.

He narrated all the details of the London arrest, how far OBJ and Bayo Ojo went to nail him; and how he never dressed as a woman back to naija.

I am not saying his own account is true but WHAT IF IT IS?

We all know what OBJ is capable of and what if Jonathan knew the man was truely set up and now wants to compensate him or something.

Lets look at it from that angle.


On the rest of the story, lets wait and see.

I really admire the way this FL Gators babe is drawing multiple paragraph replies from dudes here with her simple one liners.

Thats impressive, I'll say.

im sorry im coming back late to your question

the line where u have:

<?php } while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)); ?>

Should be:

<?php } while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result)); ?>

'i' is missing there.

Do that and let me know how it went

Hey Mr. I have done what you have just done before but I did not have the gut  post it on the internet after it all passed.

[size=18pt]What am I saying here.

This is all your imaginations, none of this ever happened. You just posted what you have been 'dreaming' of.
Day dreamers do that often.

The fact is still you are still a broke-@$$ unemployed graduate who is dreaming of getting an $8000 job at an oil company and then head to Ibadan to propose to his galfrend who has been doing shakara for him and if the girl still do the shakara, he will toss his 180k ring and go to a nearby hotel and have a good day.

WAKE UP BRO! If you dont, you will start believing its true![/size]

obailala:
The #350, #500, #1000 and above that most people are saying here should be in restaurants or overrated iya basira kind of joints where they prepare exceptionally good meals. A typical mama put hardly has a name [/b]so i wonder why peeps here are quoting prices from popular local restaurants and referring to them as mama put

On point jare.

these people are quoting restaurant prices here. And surprisingly they all live in lagos where it is believed food is cheaper.

Here in the east an ideal mama put will sell between #150 - #200. It can skyrocket to #1000 if you decide to eat everything in the woman's kitting.

Dont give me that 'hundred naira food will kill you' because we are talking about [b]Mama put if you dont want to be killed by food, go and eat in a reputable restaurant where the owners can compensate your people if they accidentally poison you.
But they are not likely poison you because they have a name unlike Mama put.

hercules07:
The problem with Solar Energy include space for the solar panels, most people live in rented apartment, imagine 4 tenants wishing to install solar panels in Lagos in a house. The second issue is the necessary wattage to power a house, you will need at least 2KVA (Fridge, Flat Screen TVs and so on). The last issue is battery bank and replacements, the higher your consumption, the more battery bank you require, the more the batteries, the more solar panels. In areas like the South South where it rains most times, you will need an alternative charger, such as Generator or Good ol Nepa, that is more costs.
The power situation has improved now because the rains are here and MEND are a little bit quiet, the Hydro dams should be working at close to capacity. The solution needs the government to get their acts together, if we privatise everything having to do with power, the costs will be prohibitive. We can not simply privatise everything, the government needs to be involved.

People who live on rented apartments also install Satellite TV Dishes.

Issue of battery cost should be dealt along with installation cost, they should all come as a package.


People already construct 'inverters' that power their apartments with batteries that stores up to 10KVA of energy.
Solar is just about the same procedure except that in the case of solar, you need sunlight and the panels instead of nepa or generator to charge up your battery.

To me, solar remains a better option. Most people that can afford generators and still pay nepa at the same time can afford it.

^^^ lookout for any headsplitting posts above

Aisha2,
i am recommending instant ban and IP blacklisting for any other 'self acclaimed' nairalander who comes in here and ask why we are celebrating BR or even ask who he is.

That person is not worthy of being called a nairalander.

However, if you and seun are in good mood, you can restrict dat person to jokes section where he/she will wallow in boredom that is not knowing becomrich.

hotchic:
Really, who is this guy?

That question is what made him the legend that he is on NL today. If you get to know him, wheres all the fun then.

Join the bandwagon hail king becomrich.

jmoore:
why does this kind of post makes it on the frontpage? make I hear word

That one na your bizness, hate it or like it, Becomrich is a star of Nairaland!

Nuts by Becomrich

Who are we celebrating his/its birthday sef?

Is it Becomerich or Becoomerich or Becomricho or Becomeerich or Becomrich1 or Nigeria1 or Nigeriaone . . . . . . . . .


Which one sef?

If na Musiwa, just tell us say musiwa de celebrate im birthday.

His Nephew (Alex Song) is in the same team.

Its just like playing with your father in the same team.

@ajax php,

You are muddling up  the hard coded script that people are giving you here with your Dreamweaver generated script.

From your line one, you included a DB connection by DW and also on the same script created a new connection posted here on NL.

Please choose one.

This is how I will do it, according to your explanation:

There are 2 pages: search.php and resultPage.php

for search.php

<form name="form1" method="post" action="resultPage.php">
Matric Number:
  <input name="matricno" type="text" id="matricno">

  Semester:
  <select name="semester" id="semester">
    <option selected>Select Semester</option>
    <option value="1">1st Semester</option>
    <option value="2">2nd Semester</option>
        </select>
  Level:
  <select name="level" id="level">
    <option selected>Select Level</option>
    <option value="100">100</option>
    <option value="200">200</option>
    <option value="300">300</option>
    <option value="400">400</option>
    <option value="500">500</option>
  </select>
 
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Check Result">

</form>

Then for resultPage.php

Using edited jeshurun07's script and yours:

<?php

$matricno=  $_POST['matricno'];
$level = $_POST['level'];
$semester = $_POST['semester'];

$host = "localhost";
$account = "root"     ## The name of your account goes here
$password = " "     ## The password goes here
$database = "student affairs"    ///  did you seriously create a DB with space on the name?!!      

$connect=mysqli_connect($host, $account, $password,$database);

$sql="SELECT *
FROM populate
WHERE matricno LIKE '$matricno'
AND level LIKE '$level'
AND semester LIKE '$semester'";

$result=mysqli_query($connect,$sql);
$row=mysqli_fetch_array($result);

mysqli_close($connect);

What I did here was to use the variables from the form on the search.php and integrate it into  Jeshurun07's connection and then echo out your result with right variables from the connection and not the one you were echoing from your DW 'Recordset'.

### There are too many things you will still need to do to these scripts like checking the matricno field for sql injection, making sure that submit button from the search page is clicked before executing the script on resultPage.php and then . . . .

also, why are you using 'LIKE' in a query that is supposed to locate peoples result?  I would use '=' if it were mine since I know that students know their matric nos and wouldnt be guessing.

Dual Core:
What I do is take the first 2 letters of the user's first name and add it to a randomly generated number.
I don't see how there will ever be duplicates of that.

Never say never

You gave the guy a great advice which u are obviously too tired to follow yourself.

I was driving towards onitsha about an hour ago and I suddenly got a call from my relative who lives in onitsha and whom I was going to see there.

He said I should turn back and run back to where I was coming from before it is too late. He said that it was said that Onitsha metropolis is 'under attack' from armed  robbers who are patrolling streets of Onitsha shooting at innocent people. He said that  every street street is now empty due to that information.

He has not actually witnessed the incident but he has witnessed deserted streets.


Can anyone else confirm this?

I only sense jealousy in all these TB Joshua criticisms.

Back in the '90s when TB Joshua has no swagger or followership, how many of all these funky pastors did care tp trace his roots?

Now that the man has got  followership which is = more money and swagger, they are now on his case like 24/7.

I can only say its jealousy. Period!

Me sef I no trust TB Joshua but I trust him a million times more than ashimolowo, chris okotie and chris oyakhilome.
