Can we all now shut up? Looking atyew MummyIdiot

Kzealz:
Mistake of their life... this drunkard is given to ticket to contest against ovi Uche Ogah wound have been better...lets see h
ow it goes

Don't mind the jokers my brother. They held election in their father's house. This is not the authorized APC election.

MummySilver:
you must be the joker here

Please explain.
What makes you think Emenike commands such a huge respect in Abia APC when big stalwarts like Orji Kalu and Uche Ogah to mention a few are not on his side? Was anything I said above a lie? Which faction is the legitimate?

Abi dem don pay you to come yarn rubbish online?

Lol this joker is leading a breakaway faction that doesn't have the the support of the NWC. The state party leadership has not conducted election and he's there decieving himself for cheap fame. How can you singlehandedly defeat everyone by such a wide margin including someone of the calibre of Uche Ogah. Learner.

The real election will happen soon will be confirmed by the real party stalwarts.

I'll send you a private message in a minuite.

Items is brand new unopened. 32gb memory

Bought directly from Motorolla. (Receipt will be emailed on request)

Selling because I bought them as a gift for someone that turned out to be little spoilt and doesn't really deserve it.

It must be gone by tomorrow 15th of July.

Both items must be purchased together.

You must be able to come and collect it in Ikoyi as I'm not currently mobile and I'm travelling the day after.


I'll sell to the first serious person and update this page when it's sold.

Kind regards.

Let me offer a different perspective:
If they're diplomats, there's practically nothing the Police can do. That's because they are operating in a different jurisdiction. As far as they are concerned, the laws of Nigeria does not apply to them. This is the way it works. International law is very messy when it comes to Diplomatic issues.
The polish embassy is practically Poland. The Nigerian police can not go in there and make arrests as it would tantamount to breaching another country's sovereignty.
However, if they were simply visitors and not diplomats, they will be in serious trouble.
Now, before you claim racism, these things happen all over the world, all the time. Look at the incident that happened with the Lockerbie bombing (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Yvonne_Fletcher). The libyan diplomats were able to house and help the prime suspect to escape. Infact, one of them killed a British police woman and they were able to walk away while the Police watched helplessly because of "Diplomatic Immunity"

They (The polish diplomats here) know what they're are doing and they know the worst that can happen to them is a slap on the wrist by their consular.
So take heart but, I'm sorry, there's really nothing you can do about this.

3. Vowel Count Solution

def countVowel(word: String): String = {
      val vowels = word.toCharArray.filter(List('a', 'e', 'i', 'o', 'u').contains(_)).toList.mkString
      vowels.length + ", " + vowels
}

Result on the repl is:

scala> countVowel('robert')
res1: String = 2, oe

6. String Replace Solution

def stringReplace(orig: String, toReplace: String, replaceWith: String) = {
      orig.split(' ').toList.map(x => if(x == toReplace) replaceWith else x).mkString(' ')
}

Result on the repl is:

scala> stringReplace('hello world', 'world', 'nairalander')
res2: String = hello nairalander

Yeah I'm on a few groups in Linked in. There was a conference held recently where the guy that designed the language (Martin Odersky) came and spoke about his plans for Scala in the future.
I was hoping to find out from programmers in Nigeria, what the general feeling is towards Scala and to see if anyone uses it for work or freelance.

pcguru1:
Care to share any scala resources so we can look and read I just hope its not like Struct, my colleague codes with that in the office and so much configuration of XML just to adjust logic very very scary something.

I don't know much about struct. Scala is not very difficult. The learning curve is a bit steep if you haven't done much functional programming and you want to do that with it, but you can still do OO stuff quite easily to sort of ease yourself into the language. Then when you're more comfortable, you can try out the functional paradigm.
If you want to learn, the course is open and free on coursera. You'll learn from Martin himself. He goes relatively deep into functional programming concepts. You can watch the videos from the previous session he ran last year but if you want, you could sign up for another one starting in april and for that, you can earn a certificate: https://www.coursera.org/course/progfun

For web development, check out https://www.playframework.com/. and http://typesafe.com/products/typesafe-reactive-platform

Here's a fun way to learn: http://scalatron.github.io/. Its a game that you can play with friends. Build your own robots and give it some logic to compete with your friends robots, if you like that sort of thing.

GodMode:
That's your opinion...

You know what you want and I know what I want.

I know of php programmers that earn at least $1million dollars annually "WORKING FROM HOME".

But I don't know of any Scala programmer who makes that much annually "from home".

That's cool. Php is a good language for its purpose. I was wondering what other people felt about Scala. Thanks for your insight.

GodMode:
the amount of scala programmers does not matter... I don't know a thing about scala but what I know is that the language doesn't have the market that those languages have.
Its about the market and what people are interested in buying

Well, people don't pay for programming languages. You get paid for what you can deliver with your knowledge. If you are talking about getting jobs in Scala, then I'll agree that it might be a bit challenging. But be rest assured, if a company wants to hire you to program in Scala, they'll be willing to pay a lot.
On the other hand, if the client is specifying a language for me to build a freelance project, I'll be worried cos it would seem to me that they want to give it to someone else to support so I wont be able to get support and maintenance fees.

pcguru1:
GodMode am curious how did you come about this fact, no developer would utter such words, you do know you can work remotely from here abroad incase you are thinking only about the local confines of Nigeria. they are other languages apart PHP out there which earn money.

GodMode:
U call CMS made with php crap....
I work from home in Nigeria... No language can earn coders as much as Java, php, Js and html/css in Nigeria.
Those are the languages to learn no matter what part of the world the programmer lives...

Also, maybe I should also mention that though there are libraries that will make it easier to do so with Scala if you so wish Scala doesn't require you to relearn html, css and javascript. Scala is just the back end bit for your server side code.
i.e.
PHP -> HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript
Scala -> HTML -> CSS -> JavaScript

So, really, it's up to one to learn what they think will benefit them the most, but if I may say, you will maintain relevance in the market and gain a reputation if you stay ahead of the curve by moving away from saturation. Scala is one language that will help you achieve this.

pcguru1:
that's because your knowledge of the market is limited, walk into any Enterprise organization in Nigeria and find out what they use most are either java/.NET either ASP.NET MVC or (Spring/Structs/Grails/Magnolia) the list is long, Oracle,NHibernate,Hibernate PHP is just used for their front public sites. maybe till when PHP can handle async processes is it even possible to create Thread in PHP ?

That's right. Scala has been called Java on steroids. It's both functional and object oriented and it runs on the jvm. It's getting very popular in enterprise because of its functional nature and the fact that you can write less code to do more...

GodMode:
No...
It doesn't put money in people's pockets...

You can do everything you can do with php. At the moment I'm working on a web application with it. You should look up "Play! Framework". If your motivation for learning a language is simply how much you can make, then this is even more reason to adopt scala as there aren't a lot of scala developers so you can make some dough from supporting the website..

Coming from a Java background, I was lured into a new scala developer role which I took in November. So far I've been loving it. I wish I had played a bit more with it in the past.

So I'm wondering, what's the feeling towards scala here?
What do you like/dislike about scala?

It's a simple concept.
You have a process or action you want to perform but you think there will be cases where it will fail. You don't want to be caught unawares so you need to tell the compiler what to do when it encounters errors from that action you are performing.
So what you do is wrap the operation in a try-catch block. The names suggest what they do.
This is a simple explanation of how its done.

Try(
whatever process that you think might result in a failure)
Catch(
All it any of the error that you think might result from the operation above)
Throw[b][/b](
What you want to do with the error you just caught above )

Of course there are other things involved like having a finaly() and catching multiple errors/exceptions but understand the basics first.

I too have wanted to join sometime ago (for the passion) but they wanted me in the infantry and indirectly discouraged me from joining the officers corps. I have a friend who is in the infantry and he's currently deployed to the middle east.
I'm not sure if you want to go in as an officer or rank and file but i would advice you try to speak to an officer to get a feel of what it's like in the force. I know for sure they value leadership skills a lot so have that at the back of your mind.
Good luck!

@OP, it really depends on your age. The general formula that must hold true for dating is:

Where X and Y are the girl's and the Guy's ages respectively.

THE Inspector-General of Police (IGP), Hafiz Ringim, has set up a disciplinary committee to try both senior and junior police officers who might have erred in the course of their duties.

The Moment on Sunday reliably gathered that among the senior officers who are to appear before the committee are three Assistant Inspectors-General (AIGs) of Police whose identities the police hierarchy is shielding.

A dependable source at Police Force Headquarters (FHQ) Abuja confided in The Moment On Sunday that the committee is being headed by Deputy Inspector-General of Police (DIG) in charge of Administration, Azubuko Udah.

The source also hinted that the committee started sitting last Monday in Port Harcourt, Rivers State capital, and that about 300 police officers who have disciplinary cases against them are expected to appear before it.

Apart from the three unidentified AIGs, some senior officers of the rank of Commissioner of Police (CP), Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) and Assistant Commissioner (AC) are said to be among those to appear before the committee.

A source close to the committee disclosed to that 'three AIGs have already appeared before the committee. Those who were summoned were those who had queries pending against them. They were summoned to defend themselves. If the committee is convinced by their defence they would be exonerated.'

The source, however, refused to disclose the identities of the AIGs and the nature of the cases pending against them.

But investigations revealed that such queries range from corruption, insubordination, loss of arms and ammunition to desertion of duty.

Our investigations also revealed that punishment usually meted out to those indicted by the committee ranges from dismissal to compulsory retirement, reduction of rank, and redeployment to obscure offices.

The IGP is expected to approve the committee's recommendation with a covering letter to the Chairman, Police Service Commission (PSC) for implementation
