Just completed my first transaction about to initiate another one

The rate is good

and response is very fast.
I recommend this exchanger.
Thanks meetmal03

Sure 185 is the bad one,

It should be the same rate, payment/withdrawal.

if you pay at the rate of 285 and withdraw at 185, sure you will not be happy.

Lost around 30k in that transaction.
If i knew the exchange rate was that bad, .........

ATM Withdrawal, US Dollars to Nigerian Naira is still at N185 per dollar.

I called GTB customer care to request for current exchange rate for Mastercard (Dollar) to Nigeria.
I was told all card transaction (withdrawal/payment) through Mastercard is at the rate N285 per dollar.

I made ATM withdrawal and found out that they were just lying, I got a heartbreaking N185/$1 rate.

WordPress is on top of the list of most popular CMS, because of the powerful community around it. Most of the look and Core WordPress functions can be altered by plugins developed by the community. The plugins makes WordPress powerful and easily adaptable to a particular purpose.

Observation

I checked five free wordpress plugins and found that there is no index file in the directories within the plugin. There could be a lot more like this.

Security Concern

Most of the web servers out there will certainly index the files within these directories and this is not good security-wise.

Recommendation To wordpress .org

Add it to the requirement for plugin submission
All directories within the plugin should have index.php file.

Recommendation to plugin users / developers

Once you download a wordpress plugin, extract it, check for index.php /index.html file within all the directories of the plugin.
If there is none, you can create a new index.php or download this index.php (extract after download)file below and place it inside directories that do not have index.php/ index.html file.

IamGodzilla:
Most developers in Nigeria are stuck on Php either because they are afraid to learn a new programming language or they aren't updated technically.
But PHP isn't all that cool.

But if you would be willing to switch to a different language like Javascript and it's frameworks such as NodeJs, ExpressJs for server side and AngularJs for frontend or any other programming language like python with Flask or Django.
Feel free to stop by here http://nowwehere.io, learn smart and write quality codes.

Etisalat came to your house to give you a glass cup?

Bwahahahahahaha

You are funny

Got a call from Etisalat today.
They called to wish me happy birthday in advance, and to give me insight on their plans for me on my birthday.
{Received a glass cup last year from etisalat}
I'm just ordinary customer.
I spend 2-4 thousand Naira only monthly on my Etisalat line.


Guess what, I spend average of 38,000 Naira monthly on MTN Services for the past three years.
I always get we apologize for the inconveniences in return.

All i'm saying is, Up Etisalat.

Bulk SMS business is good business.

India is one of those countries known for computer programming and software development.

This statement (bold) is only true in Nigeria.

For your question: G o o g l e

Okwori12:
hello guys, A friend of mine needs a bulksms website with interswitch payment system. Please who can do this. And let me see your previous job. Also tell me the cost.

Smspress already have voguepay and GTPay integrated.

You can check it out here. http://smspress.deparagon.com

I have actually gotten the information I wanted from the previous posts.
I have also made my choice based on the information obtained.
Please read between the line before commenting ...

Finally i have found out that Lexus consumes more fuel not because it is a total failure.
The fuel consumption is because of the big engine( which is a good thing).
From the previous posts and links within the post.
My Summary

:Car : Engine Capacity: e.g Miles: Estimated cost for the miles :
:Toyota Corolla: :1.8L 4 cylinder: :15,000 : :$1,102:

:Lexus ES300: :3.0 6 cylinder: :15,000: : $1,553:


Difference in cost(Mileage) : $451

andre82:
Since when did asking for information between two choices become a comparison. OP asked for details as to fuel consumption and maintenance for each vehicle and then it becomes a case of comparison? The details in question are up there. @OP, toyota corolla is fuel economical and easy to maintain. Engine capacity can be 1.6/1.8/2.0 (even I doubt if there's 2.0). It is also compact with small cabin space whereas a lexus (usually a V6) is thirsty. Engine capacity can be 3.0/3.3 (ES 300/ ES 330). Lexus is more luxurious, spacious, heavier on ground, stable on high speed. With ur itinerary, I'll go for d Lexus. Mind you, the lexus may consume more fuel than d corolla which to me is a small price 2pay for quality. A corolla is base, nothing u do can make it more special/luxurious but a lexus is made that way from scratch. I hope that satisfies u.

Thanks
You made my day.

nurey:
How can you compare a I4 1.6L and 1.8L to a 3.0L V6. The ES300 is a luxurious camry meaning it will beat a camry hands down of same year. Go to this site and pick your car, that way you will have an idea of the fuel economy of your choice http://www.milespergallon.info/

Blessings...

Now Scared of ES300 !
Can it take up to 50litres on a 15hrs drive.

I have seen that the corolla is cheap to maintain but less powerful.

If the ES is not problematic, what could make the maintenance more costly.

If Corolla can take 10litres
it is likely that ES will take ............(Help fill the blank)



This will help me understand the rate of fuel consumption.

Anticipating replies.....

I have seen the interior of both cars. Oh! I love the Lexus but i don't know anything about the fuel consumption rate and maintenance cost.
Someone told me that ES300 uses Toyota sienna Engine while ES350 uses same engine with Toyota Highlander.

I intend to use the car on daily basis:
Work: 15minutes drive X2.
Travels: 7hrs drive (maybe 6-10times per/yr)
Intra-state Visits: 45mins - 1:30hr drive (maybe 10-15times per/yr)

Which of these cars can best serve the purpose.

Please i need information on the fuel consumption and maintenance.

Example will be perfect

Anxiously waiting...

If it gets to you first, let me know.

I bought 2000 units of sms from www.bulksmsnigeria.net but I noticed if I send 2page sms it will deduct 4units and most time people don't receive the sms.

yomalex:
Oh that's great but I'm thinking there should be an option for the admin to add provider api manually

Admin can switch from one provider to another (for the providers that have been added to the plugin)


If you want to add your own SMS provider by yourself see below

Culled from the documentation
{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}
If you are actually one of those gurus we are looking for, and you wish to add your own SMS provider/portal, you can copy one of the portals into a separate file, rename the file to SP_placeholderPortal1.php or SP_placeholderPortal2.php
Change the required data to suit your SMS service provider, save the changes, woolah, you have your portal, .
Your own portal will remain the same, even after any updates.
Placeholder sms portals

CreativeWeb:
As we continue to strive to make good income from bulk sms business, I want to quickly point out few things.

In your bulk sms business, please never use an sms gateway or route that delays in sms delivery. Your sms delivery must be instant. The worst thing that will happen to you is to have a route that doesn't deliver. Clients don't mind paying N2/sms, but they can never stand a route that doesn't deliver sms instantly. If your portal delivers sms instantly, then you have gotten the client for life. Your clients will remain with you through the thick and thin.

Find a premium bulk sms route. Even if it demands paying N1.40/sms, go for it. You can sell at N1.80/sms and be earning 40kobo/sms. Never go for economical or cheap routes. You are the person that will lose at the end. It will hurt your business.

Advertise, advertise and advertise. You need to get to a situation that at least 1 million sms are sent from your portal every month.

SMS Providers can be messy sometimes, that's why i set out to develop a plugin that can allow you change to any portal(SMS Provider) you wish without affecting your website or your SMS business.

Is like switching SIMs
