Please somebody correct me if I'm right.

Did anybody read where they wrote that all GMO must be registered? Does that mean GMO products are allowed in Nigeria market so long it's registered?

I bet wailers are busy finding what the price of the jewelry Aisha has on in that pic is so they can have something else to wail about

ItsBolaji:
hmm oga analyst una well done.

Duhh it is called attention to details. It's a key aspect they look out for during interview session in UK.

abbeyty:
joke apart, what benefit do people get from eating too much pepper self?..moderation is the key too much pepper wont even let you enjoy the food. that remind me of my mum then, if you steal meat from my mother's pot there is no need for investigation you have to give yourself up when pepper is blowing your head

Bro, what u call too much pepper could be where my endurance for pepper start. What could be too much for u could be the begining for me. So, too much here is relative

gypsey:
i ve got no idea, you tell me, i was fine after eating the rice, so how was she poisoned by the same food?

Did u read story of Alex Iwobi, the nigerian that plays for Arsenal who was rushed to hospital after eating cat fish pepper soup he shared with one of super eagle team mate?

He was treated for food poisioning. His colleague was ok tho. His system isn't obviously made for such spicy food.

Viisited a Jamaican joint in manchester (chicken runner) with this jamo girl, somehow I noticed a whole pepper somehow looking like ata Rodo lurking in my chicken sauce and consumed it with a single gulp mins leter I feel my whole body was literally on FiRE.

Restaurant manager had to call an ambulance. For the first time I felt what it could be like. To be in hell. Brethren, stay away from Jamaican pepper

HungerBAD:
Laughing.

An interesting tale.

But some things stood out in the narrative,that needs to be pointed out. The topic says girl in the US?but some simple English here is different from the American way of speaking.

In the US nobody uses the word GP. GP(General Practitioner)is how the British call their Doctors. Again,she used the word Flatmate. Americans do not know what flatmate means,they have room mates.

This tells me this might have happened in the UK or Ireland.

U might be right bro. The first pic where the white dude is is a pointer it's in Europe I think

Which peanut

Is this that lawyer lady that live in ibadan?

Timijo:
Add me to your whatsapp for a chat. 08062119996

Can see my prophecy is already coming to past. I already told her she's gonna get a suitor here. Congrats bro and happy married life too

From my investigation this topic was created on the 27th of Sept' and it just so happen to make front page today. Above all, as at the time of my post, I don't think the op is aware her topic has made fp.

Well, be sure to get suitors here. Congrats in advance and happy married life too

nuelzy:
laura ikeji comes to mind....



i mean. this is her sharp opposite...

U know what comes to mind? Linda and Laura Ikeji are so classless.

And that lady up there is one lady full of class.

promisechuks:
Of course, it's the biggest lie ever!

We are no more under the law!

Under the law, tithe is a demand for God's blessing.

But under grace, our faith in christ is the source of our blessings.

Eph 1:3:"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who hath BLESSED us with ALL SPIRITUAL BLESSINGS in heavenly places in Christ:"

But if I may ask, if what u say is true, why aren't most pastors aware of this? Ie law and grace as stated above?

bigtboi:
bishop of d whole world bishop miyerijesu of Gods grace ministry says d amount nd value of tithe u give determine ur comfort nd d kind of home u get in heaven... d more tithe u pay, d bigger nd exotic ur heavenly home get... Wayasay?

Lol end of discuss.

Some body said and I quote "new testament christian are not obligated to pay tithe"

The statement above resulted from a Facebook post by Mr. Femi Aribisala titled "Robbers of God" which is critical to pastor Adeboye's view on those who don't pay tithe. See below for the his view

Robbers of God
Pastor Adeboye said to members of his Redeemed Church of God:

“Anyone who is not paying his tithe is a God robber and from now on let it be clear; anyone who is not a regular tither cannot be married in the church. Anyone who is not a regular tither cannot be ordained in the church. We will not ordain robbers, nor will the church accept a non-regular tither to build in the sprawling redemption camp because we do not want to dwell with robbers of God.”

"In the view of pastors like Adeboye, the best Christians are those who give the biggest offerings. Therefore, Adeboye even created a “millionaires club” in Redeemed. To be a member, you have to give him one million naira."

Let's continue our python tutorial. Let us look at the if structure today.

Using the if Structure
Branching is a fundamental part of computer programming. It basically means making a decision to take one path or another. Through the if structure, your programs can branch to a section of code or just skip it, all based on how you've set things up.

Let us create a simple program that will ask you for a password & compare the password with a string.

Ready? - Oya, fire

Here is the program code for Password:

# Password
# Demonstrates the if structure
# Alex Dehaini - 13/11/2008

print "Welcome to Combat Jujistu Inc."
print "— where combat training is our middle name\n"

password = raw_input("Enter your access code: "

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"

raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit."


Examining the if Structure
The key to program Password is the if structure:

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"

The if structure is pretty straightforward. You can probably figure out what's happening just by reading the code. If password is equal to "secret", then "Access Granted" is printed and the program continues to the next statement. But, if it isn't equal to "secret", the program does not print the message and continues directly to the next statement following the if structure.

Using the if-else Structure
Sometimes you'll want your program to "make a choice" based on a condition: do one thing if the condition is true, do something else if it's false. The if-else structure gives you that power.

Here is the code:

# Demonstrates the if-else structure
# Alex Dehaini - 13/11/2008

print "Welcome to Combat Jujistu Inc."
print "— where combat training is our middle name\n"

password = raw_input("Enter your access code: "

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"
else:
    print "Access Denied"

raw_input("\n\nPress the enter key to exit."


Examining the else Statement
I only made one change from the first  program. I added an else clause to create an if-else structure:

if password == "jujistu":
    print "Access Granted"
else:
    print "Access Denied"

If the value of password is equal to "secret", the program prints Access Granted, just like before. But now, thanks to the else statement, the program prints Access Denied otherwise.

In an if-else structure, you're guaranteed that exactly one of the code blocks will execute. If the condition is true, then the block immediately following the condition is executed. If the condition is false, then the block immediately after the else is executed.

Alex, I know this is long long ago, but please do u know any where in Lagos I can learn python programming?

alexis:
I haven't done anything with python on the public domain. All my work are internal to the companies I have worked for. But I can share some source code and perhaps start a short tutorial on python

PYTHON TUTORIAL

SETTING UP PYTHON

Setting up or installing python is pretty simple. Go to http://www.python.org/download/ and download the python version for your OS. I reckon most people use windows. Download the Windows installer, once the download is completed, install python as you would install any other windows application.

For other OS users i.e. Linux and MAC - most times python comes installed by default. If not, don't panic - python is a breeze to install. For linux users, it depends on the flavor you are running. For Ubuntu and debian fans, a simple apt-get install python does the trick (You have to be connected the internet). For redhat/centos fans - yum does the trick, i.e yum install python. Again you have to be connected to the Internet.

I rather you compile from source, so download tarball from python website and compile it yourself.

For MAC users, please refer to [url]http://homepages.cwi.nl/~jack/macpython/index.html[/url] for your download and install.

Now, we have have python downloaded and installed, what next? Test to see if python is working. How do you do that. For all ya unix/linux/mac users, fire up your shell/terminal and type python, hit enter. If python is installed correctly, you will enter the python interactive shell. The same works on windows, load your command prompt and type python and press enter; it should load the Python interactive shell.

Now we have python and it's interactive shell working. Oya - clap for yourself  .

I hear you asking, so how do I write a python program - don't worry my dear friend because python programs are just bunch of text files saved with a .py extension. You can use your favorite text editor to write your python program but I recommend notepad++ (http://notepad-plus.sourceforge.net) for windows, textmate for MAC (http://macromates.com) or textwrangler (http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/). For linux/unix, there is plain old emacs (http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/).

So let us write our very first python program. We all know the Hello World program you see in most programming books right? Well, let's do something different. We will code python to ask for your name, your age and who was your childhood super hero. Ready?

Guess what - we can write the entire program using just 7 lines of code. So, fire-up your text editor and type in the following and save it as program1.py. Create a folder/directory anywhere on your computer and name it codes, save program1.py in it.

# A Simple program to demonstrate how easy it is to use python
# Alex Dehaini - 10/10/2008

# Get name from user
name = raw_input("What is your name: " #Line 1

# Get user age
age = raw_input("How old are you: " #Line 2

# Ask the user for their favorite childhood super hero
superhero = raw_input("\nWho is your favorite childhood super hero: " #Line 3

# Print output to the users screen

print "Hi, " + name  #Line 4
print "You are", age  #Line 5
print "Your childhood hero", superhero, "is very very strong"  #Line 6

raw_input("\n\nPress enter to exit "  #Line 7

I added several comments and lines but the actual program is just 7 line.


HOW TO RUN THE PROGRAM

Use your command prompt or terminal  - go into your codes folder and type program1.py and hit enter. Enter your name, age and your favorite super hero and watch python answer you.

Don't worry if you don't understand the program for now, I will explain in subsequent post. However, the program is self-explanatory. See if you can make sense out of it.

Enjoy!

Can see you are good with python. Can u help me with tutoring? Wanna learn it

Haha are biafrans up to a million in population? Even when u include all the ewus and dogs that roam the street? Just asking.

Lukmann1:

They keep disgraced this country, shames on that hotel.

U and the hotel ppl should be arrested and charged for disgraceful conduct

eyinjuege:
What do you mean by maltreat?

Is he/she being starved, or beaten or not clothed

Any specifics?, any pictures?

How old is the help?

Is the help a relative of your neighbor?

You can get the parents phone no from the help if underage, so that they can come and pick their child.

If being starved, you can offer some food till the parents come and pick their child.

There's also an agency in Lagos, at alausa that deals with trafficking, and child abuse cases if the help is still under aged.

The kid shouldn't be more than 12yrs old judging by her appearance.

Thanks for the infor anyways, might have to go to ALAUSA if it continues. Thanks still

sekundosekundo:
Pls report to Human Rights commission. Do everything in secret to rescue the lad. I have done such before.

Thanks, please can u tell me how to go about it?

I have this neighbor who is fond of maltreating her house help. I have always kept quiet hopping things get better.

Ordinarily I would love to mind my own business but I fear I might end up blaming myself should something evil befall the poor maid.

I've done the little I can my conscience won't hunt me again. I hope this get to the necessary authority ASAP

Ps. Does Lagos State law not mandate those who seek house help send them to school?

DaniDani:
after reading this post, I have been searching for incognito in my gionee m3, yet I can't find it. pls op do me a favor by telling me how to activate it. thanks

To browse incognito press ctrl + shift + N thid works with windows n linux

juman:
It was not true. It was story told by their government.

Go and watch documentaries on the 911 and watch them carefully. The plane was shot done by the jet fighters after they got order and repeated assurance from white house to do that.

I see. That's interesting.

juman:
It seems america government was behind 911.

But it was clear that the fourth plane was downed by US fighter jets.

No! according to reports and the film 'Sept 11', the plane passengers had to fight the terrorists when it became clear the terrorists had no bomb on them but it was a tad bit too late as the terrorists had gotten control of the airline so they had to crash the plan after realizing they (terrorosts) might be over powered

Tho my opinion does not matter but I'm one of those that believe 9/11 was an inside job. The commission the not include in its report anything about building 7. Besides, how jet fuel could melt cast iron steel is incredible.

Loads of things is still shrouded in mysteries as regard 911 as far as I'm concern

THINK EVERY NIGERIAN THAT LOVES NIGERIA OUGHT TO READ THIS WITH PATIENCE.

The biggest country in Africa that the United Kingdom colonized is Nigeria. The biggest country that the United Kingdom colonized in Asia is India (which then comprised the present Pakistan and Bangladesh).

When the UK came into Nigeria and India, like all other countries they colonized, they brought along their technology, religion (Christianity), and culture: names, dressing, food, language, etc. Try as hard as the British did, India rejected the British religion, names, dressing, food, and even language, but they did not reject the British technology.

Today, 80.5% of Indians are Hindus; 13.4% Muslims; 2.3% Christians; 1.9% Sikhs; 0.8% Buddhists, etc. Hindi is the official language of the government of India, but English is used extensively in business and administration and has the status of a “subsidiary official language.” It is rare to find an Indian with an English name or dressed in suit.

On the other hand, Nigeria embraced, to a large extent, the British religion, British culture – names, dressing, foods, and language – but rejected the British technology.

The difference between the Nigerian and the Indian experiences is that while India is proud of its heritage, Nigeria takes little pride in its heritage, a situation that has affected the nationalism of Nigerians and our development as a nation.

Before the advent of Christianity, the Arabs had brought Islam into Nigeria through the North.
Islam also wiped away much of the culture of Northern Nigeria. Today, the North has only Sharia Courts but no Customary Courts.

So from the North to the South of Nigeria, the Western World and the Eastern World have shaped our lives to be like theirs and we have lost much or all of our identity.

Long after the British and Arabs left Nigeria, Nigeria has waxed strong in religion to the extent that Nigerians now set up religious branches of their home-grown churches in Europe, the Americas, Asia and other African countries.

Just like the Whites brought the gospel to us, Nigerians now take the gospel back to the Whites.

In Islam, we are also very vibrant to the extent that if there is a blasphemous comment against Islam in Denmark or the US, even if there is no violent reaction in Saudi Arabia, the Islamic headquarters of the world, there will be loss of lives and destruction of property in Nigeria.
If the United Arab Emirates, a country with 75% Muslims, is erecting the tallest building in the world and encouraging the world to come and invest in its country by providing a friendly environment, Boko Haram ensures that the economy of the North (and by extension that of Nigeria) is crippled with bombs and bullets unless every Nigerian converts to Boko Haram’s brand of Islam.

In the East we have IPOB wrecking havoc. While in the South - South region, Mend, Avengers and so on destroying the Heart of our Nations Economy. We are indeed a very religious people.

Meanwhile, while we are building the biggest churches and mosques, the Indians, South Africans, Chinese, Europeans and Americans have taken over our key markets: telecoms, satellite TV, multinationals, banking, oil and gas, automobile, aviation, shopping malls, hospitality, etc. Ironically, despite our exploits in religion, we are a people with little godliness, a people without scruples.

It is rare to do business with a Nigerian pastor, deacon, knight, elder, brother, sister, imam, mullah, mallam, alhaji or alhaja without the person laying landmines of bribes and deception on your path. We call it PR, facilitation fee, processing fee, transport money, financial engineering, deal, or whatever. But if it does not change hands, nothing gets done. And when it is amassed, we say it is “God’s blessings.”

Some people assume that sleaze is a problem of public functionaries, but the private sector seems to be worse than the public sector these days. One would have assumed that the more churches and mosques that spring up in every nook and cranny of Nigeria, the higher the
morals in our society. But it is not so. The situation is that the more religious we get, the baser we become.

Our land never knew the type of bloodshed experienced from religious extremists, political desperadoes, ritual killers, armed robbers, kidnappers, internet scammers, university cultists, and lynch mobs. Life has become so cheap and brutish that everyday seems to be a bonanza.

We import the petroleum that we have in abundance, rice and beans that our land can produce in abundance, and even toothpicks that primary school children can produce with little or no effort. Yet we drive the best of cars and live in the best of edifices, visit the best places in the world for holidays and use the most expensive electronic and telecoms gadgets.
It is now a sign of poverty for a Nigerian to ride a saloon car. Four-wheel drive is it! Even government officials, who were known to use only Peugeot cars as official cars as a sign of modesty, have upgraded to Toyota Prado, without any iota of shame, in a country
where about 70 per cent live below poverty.
Private jets have become as common as cars.
A nation that imports toothpicks and pins, flaunts wealth and wallows in ostentation at a time its children are trooping to Ghana, South Africa and the UK for university education
and its sick people are running to India for treatment.

India produces automobile and exports it to the world. India’s medical care is second to none, with even Americans and Europeans travelling to the country for medical treatment.

India has joined the nuclear powers. India has launched a successful mission to the moon.
Yet bicycles and tricycles are common sights in India. But in Nigeria, only the wretched of the earth ride bicycles.

I have intentionally chosen to compare Nigeria with India rather than China, South Korea, Brazil, Malaysia, or Singapore, because of the similarities between India and Nigeria. But these countries were not as promising as Nigeria at the time of our independence.

Some would say that our undoing is our size: the 2012 United Nations estimate puts Nigeria’s population at 166 million, while India has a population of about a billion. Some would blame it on the multiplicity of ethnic groups: we have 250 ethnic groups; India has more than 2000 ethnic groups. Some would hang it on the diversity in religion: we have two major religions – Christianity and Islam; but India has many. Some would say it is because we are young as an independent nation: we have 56 years of independence; India has 65 years, while apartheid ended in South Africa only in 1994.

I am a Christian, and nothing can change me from Christianity. But I think that our country is daily sinking into religiosity to the detriment of godliness. Our land is sick and needs healing. “If my people who are called by my name will humble themselves, and pray and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land” is still a saying that is germane to our current situation. We need more godliness than religion; more work and less hope; and more action and less words.

Let everyone tidy up his or her corner first and demand fervently that our leaders tidy their areas of governance. Our nation is degenerating at a fast pace and we need to save it now.

And this

Those of us with a wifi router - otherwise known as mifi in some quaters in Nigeria - will understand this better.

As u know, setting up a wifi connection, u have to set up a user name and password in order to ensure secured connection. Some people however are using this medium to passively throw jibes at their neighbors.

Well this is just for fun to calm some fray nevers on a Monday morning. Have a laff.
