Chillisauce: Learning typing and started typing a full paper project and all of a sudden everything disappeared

After 3 hrs works and typing with one finger

its very bad experience. . Wen i was working as a computer operator. . I was given a nursing book to type. . About 60 pages. . After all d stress . . Wen it was time to print it for d owner. . I couldn't locate it in d system. . I felt like crying

Revolva: my fistime using the computer was in 2001....and the internet....bit..the internet was an eye opening for me back then.omo i can finz many thing ..and shocking Bleep..sites...my head skatter..na so i go save my poket money go buy 1hour for cafe ...watching Bleep..lol....and fromthere some folkz..introduced me how to make money online...illegaly....by 2002..na so...i try my luck ..take hammer small tin....oyinbo wey make cmputer boiz use am chop them shege..

por.no sites. . I started wit por.no sites too. Those day. . You'll see pink gals on d screen . . They don.t look real at all . . Maybe that's why White por.no doesn't turn me on . .

After oogling those images on d screen and time expire. . As i leave d cafe. . I'll feel very ashamed of my myself

People who are not computer literate ignorantly think that learning to use computer is hard . . But is almost same thing as using smart phone.

I blame the education system sha. . Its always computer notes, out dated abacus/mainframe textbooks. . And rarely, demosurations in front of a dead computer. . .

Except you have a computer at home to practice with, . . Its hard

^^ The mouse? Except you were being tutored on graphics design. . It shouldn't be an issue.

I went for a micro- finance bank interview recently. . Out of about 80 people present, only 10 - 15 can actually use computer. . . We were given the option of using a laptop or desktop for ICT test. . If you see as Graduates were running away from the laptop. . . It was an eye sore

I'll set the ball rolling. .

Back then in 2003/4 or so when i was in SS2, African Church Grammar School, Abeokuta, the Government Teacher gave us an assignment to browse about. . "legitimacy". . , print out the web page and submit to him.

I followed some class mates to a nearby cyber cafe and was amazed at how they were operating the "computer set". I was so ashamed as i watched them browsing. . My mates are computer literate while i stood there looking dumbly at them. .

So. . I started saving my taxi fare. . I would trek a long distance way from Olomore to Saint Peters' or Lafenwa and then take taxi from there to school. . That way, i was able to save N20 for about 2 weeks until i hav N200. I didn't bother to ask folks at home for "cyber cafe money" coz i knew the kind of reply i would get.

When the N200 was complete, i went to a cyber cafe bought a 30 minutes ticket (cyber cafe was expensive in those days). . Na there my problem start o. . I didn't know how to "enter" the ticket so i called they cafe attendant. She came over, gave me one crazy look, "pressed some keys on d computer" and walked away. .

I sighed and began to fiddle with the mouse. It wasn't long before i started to draw the attention of other cafe users. . I started hearing unpleasant remarks. . "see as this boy dey waste time. . See as e dey look like mumu . . . "

The cafe attendant became irked and walked up to me. . She was very rude this time. . "what are you doing?" . . "i want to open yahoo" . . "then open yahoo" . . "how will i open yahoo?". . She just hissed loudly, entered yahoo url into the address bar. .

When yahoo page loaded, i continued to fiddle with the mouse. . Na so i hear one loud voice behind me. . "you this boy, if you don't know how to use computer, why you come waste your money?"

I just ignored him and continued fiddling with the mouse while praying for my ticket to run out quickly. I was lucky when a church member came in. . I called him over. . He gave me my first tips on how to browse. . My ticket expired. . . As i left the cafe, i could hear loud laughter everywhere until i got into the streets. .

I wasn't deterred sha. . I continued trekking to school. . Save some taxi fare. . Try out a new cyber cafe. . Ask ether users for tips. . .

Today. . About 10 years later. . People hail me as a "Computer Professor" . . But when i look back . . How the "journey" started. . . It wasn't easy. . I just laugh it off

* modified *

You folks whose Parents and relations introduced you to computer by taking you to office & buying computer for the home. . Are VERY VERY lucky.

Some parents eh . . If you mention computer to them, they'll size you up and down and tell you to "get out of my sight" !

My elder bro had to quarrel with Dad before bought us laptops while in uni . . Its not as if Dad doesn't have the money. . He does . . But with old school mentality. . If you mention "computer", he'll just wave you off.

And its very sad that many Nigerian parents are still like that.

veave: i recieved a text on my fone for an interview in lagos this evening. Jw@ever... the address and name of the coy looks n sounds suspicious.. abi na d nysc nexia ppl ne?

please, what's the content of the text?

^^ good question.

Where is the venue?

Abeg make una leave that nacos guy and focus on the aptitude test coming up. . .

The email address input box on d site is still disabled

So anxious. . Make den open d email input box nau

RuggedArab: Are u sure this is for real? The email session is greyed out, you cant input anything there.

i wonder why they greyed out the email address input box

tuyi19: People that got their ID is more than 100,000 because I HAVE SEEN SOMEONE WITH 78,000 PLUS and the vacancy is just 412, so saying ID does not matter is just deceiving people. those that had the ID were even told to keep the ID very well because it will be needed during the recruitment process.

What do you mean bro?

One person get 78,000 application IDs?

Dollarjunkie: 13,000.
Plus allowances will be totaling 19,800.

Hope it helps

Bros. . . You are "wickedt"

ochongonoko: OP, stop tryna blame the females alone. It's a two way thingy. Did the ladies get themselves pregnant?. Why did the guys allow themselves to impregnate the ladies before wedlock? .

Na guys dey get pregnant ni?

Honestly, most guys don't understand how these pregnancy stuffs happen. .

Guys own is just to "pound" and go. . Na d gals go get belle. . If they don't want to get pregnant. . Then they know wat to do

A word is enough for d wise

^^ Na wa o. Oga Refre . . Didn't you read the post i made earlier?

oweniwe: it means there was a break in your internet connection. . .

To be able to submit successfully, you need to maintain internet connection throughout. . Even when filling in your details. . If there's a break in connection during the process, it'll not submit

So you'll have to reload the page and start all over again.

jamesbridget13: Pls help! I ve clicked submit 4 like 5 minutes but it seem not to be rolling like loading. Pls what do i do? Am still in d cafe

it means there was a break in your internet connection. . .

beatrice webb: This could be an opportunity for lagose to own a chemical weapon

ya. . . I just wondered why they didn't evacuate on time. . . Why they waited for the gas to engulf d whole school before they started running

deic9: for as many that ask for the name of the gas, i dont think that is the issue now. its being said that investigation is on. when the result comes out, i believe that will be made know. relocating the company is not a solution because location is not a solution. i think and believe the investigation will be carried out be the appropriate authorities. the investigation should be lead by the safety professionals to carry out the HAZARD ANALYSIS and RISK ASSESSMENT of the chemical factory if they are actually operation with the standard required and also to check what went wrong. the result should then be sent to the law enforcement agencies. . .

Oga o. . I weep for Nigeria.

No wonder, simply incidents that can be solved with simple research takes a long time to solve. . That reminds me of the time when this "half human half fish" issue came up in ibadan. . To identify a squid was a problem and resulted in the arrest of innocent people.

Point of correction, you cannot investigate what you don't know anything about. That is why some crimes go unresolved because there are no clues. .

How can you carry out risk analysis or assessment on something you don't have details on? If a toxic waste is dumped somewhere, you don't just go and pack it away. . You identify the waste and its properties first before you decide how you're going to handle it

[quote author=L.M Ayedun..]Haba!! Chairman.
Investigations are still on-going about the gas Bros.[/quote]which kinda investigation? There should be some symbols on the containers there . . The gas should have certain properties and characteristics. . . It should have chemical reactions that'll make you identify it. . Type all that in google and you have all you need to know about the gas

So what are they investigating again?

whosefault: make we tell una the name of the gas then una go use am rock havoc for the country abi. the one una don do never tire una?
na who be illiterate now? lol

you're wrong. . If people don't know about something, it can cause uncontrolled harm just as it did in the school. If the people know what it is and how to handle it, this incident would not have happened

For example, if there is LPG gas leak, people know what to do. . evacuate and don't do anything that can cause ignition. . Cover your nose and go lock/tighten/seal up d cylinder. . If there's fire outbreak, . We know we shouldn't use plain water to put it out. .

If you don't know anything about a hazardous material close to your vicinity, how can you protect yourself in event of emergency?

In the school, nobody knew anything. . They just continue inhaling the gas until people started fainting

Why do organizations carry out emergency drills?

I marvel at some folks here who claim to be graduates but can't fill and submit a simple web application. .

Some are asking a question that has been answered over and over again . . . Some are even asking for the website. .

Is it so hard To go through the thread and patiently read the details?

How come nobody knows the name of the gas or its properties?

Illiteracy. . . Ignorance . . Is a disease

^^ don't mind them. Its very hard to work for those "thick madam" small business owners. And its worse if she has kids. . Hot temper things. Why they do like that, i don't know.

As for the revenue part. . Its so frustrating to think of it. I said earlier i type about 70 pages per day. . That's about 4k daily. .4k daily. . 20k weekly and 80k per month. . Yet, i was paid just 5k monthly. .

In this kind of job, forget about the money part and focus on gaining more experience. . Then you can move to a bigger company

Na wa o.

All of you are just reprimanding the poster anyhow. Do you know how much biz center workers earn a month? Its minimum of N4,000 and maximum of N7,000.

During NYSC last year, i worked at a biz center inside a college of education. . The workload was so much. . I typed all manners of projects, books, assignments, letters. . About 70 pages daily. . All for N5,000 per month. . My cousins were fond of making jest of my pay. Nobody told me to quit after three months. . .

Op, if you're working for experience, to build ur CV, and gain some "connections" . . Ok. . Stay for about 6 months and then you can move. . Otherwise, look for another job. . Biz center pay is not something you can use to take care of yourself.

wiegraf: You may be missing my point. Omniscience, even as you describe it here, is impossible. With that you've ventured into the supernatural, and once you do that there's no need to justify anything logically. Just pull the supernatural card and voila, you're done.

Consider uncertainty, chaos and the inordinate (perhaps infinite) amount of possibilities involved, and you can see how collecting/accounting for that data becomes impossible.

Btw, does god know all his own possible futures as well?

And do you accept that this universe is not deterministic? If you think it's deterministic, then does the omnipotent god not have the ability to determine the future? Is that a task beyond him?

na wa o

What you're asking . . Is akin to a gate man of a company asking such questions about the company Owner's personal life issues . . .

Or a child that want to see his father's manhood. .
.

A mortal man that won't live beyond a hundred years pointing fingers at the universe that have been in existence for billions years and asking questions about God's future . . .

If the chick wakes up one day and decides to fly like an eagle. . .

If you run mad tomorrow . . . Who shall we blame ? ? ?

Its no use pouring water into a basket. . Same thing with you guys . .

You have programmed your minds to reject whatever explanation or answer given to you

". for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men. Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. " (Matthew 16:23-24).

A word is enough for the wise

joel lala: They exist but they want everyone to believe that they dont.

for now. . Later, they will become more bold and come out because by then, they'll have become popular. . The problem is . . Wen one begin to present facts that Illuminati really exists such as this website. . http://www.illuminatigamerevealed.com/ . Ignorant people here will start insulting and calling you names

nwuyag: @ oweniwe
Does someone think irresponsibly by asking such questions?

no. . But we have to think appropriately first before we ask. .

Its like a son whose parents bought a car as a birthday present . . The son drove the car to a night club, drank liquor,then begin to drive home late in the night and had accident and broke his legs. . When his parents were rebuking him for drinking and driving. .

The son asked. . Why did you buy me the car ? What kind of question is that?

rationalmind: I think the fact that you can't answer the question is obvious to anyone. You keep going in circles.

Punishing me for doing evil is not righteous judgement because he gave the the ability to do evil. Had he not given me, I wouldn't had done evil.

The question again. Why punish people for exercising the ability he gave them? Why give people the ability to chose evil and then punish them for choosing it?

. . Bro. . I've never seen any question as dumb as these. .

What you call evil/bad is not created bad/evil. . It only becomes evil/bad when you misuse it. .

Just like a cars . . A car may have a maximum speed of 300km/h, . .The automaker put the 300km/h there so that if you need to cover a long distance urgently, you can utilize the speed to get to your destination. . . But when you begin to speed at 250/270km just for fun or the thrill and then have accident, you will blame the automaker abi?

Look at our bodies. . Our body is wonderfully made. . But when we begin to defile our body by smoking and get lung cancer, have sex indiscriminately and get veneral disease, bleach our skin. . It is God's fault?

Look at the knife. . It has many useful purposes. . If someone take a knife and use it to stab another person . . Is it God's fault?

You have your body and you choose to do p0ron/indecent movies with it. . You have atoms but choose to make atomic bomb with it. . You have education but choose not to learn. . We have metals but choose to make guns/dangerous weapons with it. . All these is God's fault?

Look at the Prodigal Son in the Bible. . Is it the Father's fault that the son choosed to be prodigal?

Look at Solomon. . God blessed him with wisdom and wealth more than any man . . Yet he choosed it disregard God's law by marrying strange women that eventually led to his ruin. . Is that God's fault?

Whatever you are doing now that is causing you harm, whether it is premarital sex, smoking, gossip, prostitution, , fraud/corruption. . You have the choice to stop and live your life for good or continue your wayward ways. .

If you choose to live a godly life, better for you. . . If you continue living in sin and end up badly or in hell, its is not God's fault, but your own fault . . You know good and how to do it . . But choose to do evil. . And you're blaming God. .

If I slap you eh . .
