Lots of people have not collected their PVC. I'm sure INEC staff know the importance of PVC..
Doubts.

What you hear on radio, see on tele is different from what we observe.

On 13th Feb., 2015, I traveled to Abakaliki, Ebonyi State capital to get my permanent voters card (PVC). Because I lost my TVC to fire incidence in 2014, I can only remember few things on the TVC. I can still remember the location where the card was issued. I got the card while I was doing my internship at Federal Medical Centre Abakaliki (now Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki). After numerous inquires and consultations, I confirmed that the card is at Ebonyi Local Government Secretariat. Ebonyi Local Government Secretariat is about 33minutes ride on a speed (60-80km/h) bike. When I got to the secretariat, it was 2:51PM, the last INEC staff at the secretariat was about to enter his motorcycle when I stopped him.
The discussion went thus:
PGon: Good afternoon Sir,
INEC staff: Yes?
PGon: I came to collect my Permanent voter’s card.
INEC staff: All my colleagues have gone, I don't have access to the lock where the cards are kept.

PGon: Please sir, I came all the way from Onitsha, Anambra state just to collect this card and go back. Can you call your colleague on phone?

INEC staff: Not Possible. We have closed.

(another bike stopped, a guy walked into the secretariat and joined the conversation).

New Guy: (Sensed what is happening) Sir, I'm came from Abia State to collect my PVC.

INEC staff: (pushed his motorbike outside the gate) Please come out, I want to lock the gate.
(we walked towards the gate, and begged him to see reason to help us get our PVC but he refused)
New Guyoutside the gate) please sir I will give you something if you help us.
PGon nodded, feeling bad though) Yes!

INEC staff: (listened, guessed for a while) Others have gone, I can't open the office now, I don't have the keys to the PVC lock. You can come back on Monday around, 8:30am or 9:00am to collect the card. (closed the gate).

PGon: (Not happy with the situation, walked with the new guy, towards the bikeman) let's go back to Abalaliki town. I may travel back to Onitsha today.

New Guy: I'm traveling to Umuahia, let me join you guys.

I was feeling bitter about the situation of things. Election is coming very soon, but these guys are not representing INEC at all. They are busy frustrating and disenfranchising citizens.

As I'm reading the OP, the only thoughts going through my mind is in the negative. This machine can be manipulated.
Nigerian think faster than Indians (In reality), the machine that can serve Nigerians must be developed and monitored by Nigerians.

I visited the dashboard of a new client’s WordPress blog, I found out that the site gets around 3,000 spam comments a day. At the time of my visit the site has 89,394 pending comments.
I started a database backup of the site, when I completed the backup, the site database size was 260MB. I deleted all the pending comments and did a fresh back and the size was around 101MB.
The owner have anti comment spam plugin installed, i removed the anti spam comment plugin and cleared on the information about the plugin in the database, and did a fresh backup of the site, and got 16MB.
I was thinking of writing a comment plugin before, i had to speed up the project. and finally this is it.

Most web designers start their web project in photoshop after which the progress to text editor to make the html and css and other [b]scripts[/b]according to the project requirement.

I Start every project with a sketch on a piece of paper. After which i progress to text editor/dreamweaver to make my css, from css to html (back and fro) and along the line photoshop gets loaded (for images).

I do this because i change my plans as i develop....

I will appreciate if you share yours...

Just found out you are xx. Didn't have to check your profile

All trees have root. There can never be a successful fair without an organization of webmasters.
Let's be logical.
If we (?) are to approach an organization for sponsorship, .....under which umbrella.

My Suggestions.
1.Lets create a state level organization.
e.g Lagos state Webmasters association, Enugu state Webmasters association etc ... all state including the FCT.
and members in diaspora
We can open thread for each state so that members can identify themselves.

2. We can have a national body with representatives from the state.

Step one and step two crossed...

Web design fair will be a great idea.

Webmasters?

sometimes we cross the line

and get personal or poise to know it all.

........ Wondering the essence of this section if we only use it for personal ergo..............

Hacking is not a one step process. It is pure rebirth of mind and it demands continuous burning desire that supports the reason that sprung it.
Don't look backwards.
Do less of windows.... More of terminals....
be more objective.... less subjective.
be more creative....

Remember you are not going into cracking.... you are going into hacking... maintain the spirit

It might be time to reset by uninstalling what you have and reinstalling a fresh, latest, version.

schneid: hi, am presently working on a new site using joomla. the article editing is proving stubborn. am thinking probably i have enabled/disabled something unknowingly.

You need check article settings.

Look at the code (code view)

Most hosting company offer MYSQL and MYSQL database manipulation tools (MYSQL wizard and PHPMyAdmin).

Go for MYSQL

Don't consider access for live website.

Both the hosting company and the site owner have great role to play in site security. Crackers try from all angels.
