Against Trump, Americans are ready for anyone. ABT. Anyone but Trump.

This is another CIA but this time arround Legal coup. About 52 million Brazilians voted for Brazilian President Dilma Roussef but you have completely corrupt lower and upper house Parliament. Even to the vice President that Wiki leaks report recently showed that he was a former spy to U.S goverment.

Can you imagine how this Anglozionist empire works ? I have said this in one of my comments. Expect the same type of coup or colour revolution in South Africa. Their main targets are BRICS, African development Bank, SCO. And they are already fighting the war againt BRICS countries. Check south Africa, arren't they saying almost the same thing ? Brazil.. South Africa, you have groups saying Zuma must break.. Russia, you have donbass battle lines drown in Ukraine, Syria and U.S provocating the Baltics against Russia. China you have South China sea and u.s pushing to provocate the matter there again.

African development bank, since the death of Gadaffi, that has really weakened the ADB project which gaddafi planned to inject the huge reserve /money U.S sanctioned belonging to Libya. Well, that only slowed it, the African development Bank is still very much alive and a Nigerian is heading it.


Meanwhile they have tried this several times in Russia but failed. Forget China, regime change or coup can't happen in China.

may your eyes never grow dim with visions

You've spoken well, but when you consider that most jobs you will get from nigerian clients will classified as "no budget" jobs. Not even low budget, you'd see that A-B testing idea cannot be feasible.

i didnt make money off most of the site's i have designed as a freelancer. Just using it to build up a portfolio. The coder bills the highest then i design the UI and creative and contract the content to foreigners cos thats still cheap. and kpam! the money is gone.

Your idea is valid but not so feasible in our clime.

Ete any job with no budget is a free work. like i always advised my friends, don't negotiate for any job u've got no understanding how to implement.

web development jobs should be negotiated by an experienced web developer who knows all the parts necessary to deliver the job. outside that the project will fail woefully during execution and u will incur more hidden cost u didn't see while negotiating. it took me more than two years to discover this after series of failed projects and financial losses.

my advice is partner with a developer and let him do the negotiating while u are fully aware of the total cost. anytime a prospective client approaches you for a website, call ur partner (developer) and sit together in a round table with your client for the negotiations. do not negotiate for a job and then find a developer to do it for u else the following might happen:

1. the project scope may increase as clients are fond of making outrageous demands in the middle of the project. your developer won't like it and may decide to walk out in the middle of the project or demand more pay with duration extension.

2.the developer may demand fees higher than what the client agreed to pay and u may be stranded looking for another developer.

3.u may not understand feature specifications so as to lock in it during the contract signing, hence client will use this to make unending functionality request during project execution which will increase ur overhead cost and your developer may abscond.

The rule of outsourcing is, do not outsource jobs u don't know jack about because u may always be on the losing end as u may not know if the deliverables is good or bad. i have spent time learning UI, UX and design theory, so i know what i am expecting from any designer i outsourced my jobs to. i also spend a considerable amount of time implementing my design as well as working with the designer throughout the design phase.

i would have told u more but let me spare u form the boredom of my developer's world as i have face exactly the same problems u wrote in ur original post. i am still looking for a reliable designer with an eye in branding and marketing i can turn to whenever i have big jobs.

NairaMinted:
General Zoharariel, your credentials as a five star General of the Red Army is not at all in doubt!

On behalf of the council of Nairaland Russian 5 star generals we hereby promote and crown zoharariel the son of putin the son of vladimir who was bore by jehorarial the daughter of the great king Lenin I who ruled from the Euphrates to the ganges a 7 star General with immediate effect.

****the military band plays in style only reserved for the sons of the king who have been crowned*******

i wanted to write an epistle to the op. but i got some chills on me.

when u find a developer, give him/her a test job specifying what u want him to do in details. if u are satisfy with what he does, then grant him the full project else bounce.

personally i divide any work i outsourced into phases (whether design or coding). i then inform the prospective contractor that i will be working in phases in case i am not satisfied with his work or he fails to deliver. i then advanced him part of the first phase payment for commencement. if he does not agree to my terms we part, if he does not meet my expectation, i informed him to improve or lose the entire package and if he fails to deliver, i gladly cut my loss and move on.

u will always meet more people if u keep searching but not all will be able to work with u or satisfy ur level of expectation based on many factors within or outside their control.

bottom line: divide your projects into phases, pay per phase work, if he fails collect what he did and look for another to complete the project.

you may lose time and money in the short run but will find great pals along the way. fact is, it is going to take time before u find good buddies to roll with.

good luck in your search

i like the sarcasm and the twist u interject with zoharariel

atleast u guys are priends on different sides

ValerianSteel:
Like I'll keep telling you this.American vessels now run on advanced radar and sonar.The Zumwalt was specifically built for the purpose to seek even the most stealthy Russian sub.
Note that Zumwalt has the advanced gun systems that can fire projectiles to targets 64 nautical miles out.It is also well protected against incoming cruise missiles or ballistic missiles as the SM2,SM3 and SM6 anti-ship,anti-aircraft and anti-anti-missile defense are on board to actively engage different missile threats silmutaneously.Imagine a ship that has the Iron Dome,Patriot and a variant of THAAD all onboard.That's what the Zumwalt gives you.Full defense systems against all threats.
Also be reminded that it is designed to seek out mines and can operate in shallow waters off the deep sea.It can come as close to Russian shores after sinking the Borei subs and those corvettes Russia calls destroyers,then unloads some Tomahawks on target.
My friend,you can't beat the Zumwalt at least not yet,nothing in Russia's arsenal currently outmatch or can stand up to her.This is money well spent and it would deal heavy blow to Russian if ever sent into the Black Sea.The Zumwalt alone will sink Russia's Black Sea Fleet in less than Fifteen minutes including the subs.Just hope Virginia class subs don't accompany her.Double defeat to Russia my friend.

Zoharariel:
On that night could not Zoharariel - The mighty king sleep, and he commanded to bring the book of records of the chronicles; and they were read before the king while listening to Eric Benet's Love Don't Love Me.

And it was found written, that the Nairaland's league of Russian 5star Generals - Appleyard, Nairaminted, Scully95, Capip120, Poseidon000, Fineguy11, Shymm3x, 1Tkester, Bonechamberlain, Seunny4lif, Romme2u, Jnhmaxxwell, Stalwert, Panafrican, NaijaTalkTown & Januzaj - have been very loyal to Vladimirovich Putin - The son of Spirodonovich, in his war against the kingdom of darkness spearheaded by Amerika.

And the king said, What honour and dignity have been done to these loyal Generals for their unflinching loyalty? Then said the king's servants that ministered unto him, There is nothing done for them.

And the king said, Who is in the court? Now Mazeltov was come into the outward court of the king's house, to speak unto the king to hang each member of the Nairaland's league of Russian 5star Generals on the gallows which he had prepared for them because he hated them for they always speak the truth.

And the king's servants said unto Zoharariel, Behold, Mazeltov standeth in the court. And the king said, Let him come in.

So Mazeltov came in. And the king said unto him, What shall be done unto the men whom the king delighteth to honour? Now Mazeltov thought in his heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour more than to himself and his friends ValerianSteel, Vedaxcool, Obagadaffi, Lucasbalo & his wife Missy89?

And Mazeltov answered Zoharariel - The king, For the man whom the king delighteth to honour,

Let the Russian royal apparels be brought which the king useth to wear, and the Bmws that the king rideth, and the 48karat-gold crown which is set upon his head:

And let these apparels and Bmws be delivered to the hand of one of the king's most noble princes, that he may array & decorate the men whom the king delighteth to honour, and bring them in a convoy of Bmw through the street of the city, and proclaim before them, Thus shall it be done to the men whom the king delighteth to honour.

Then Zoharariel - The king said to Mazeltov, Make haste, and take the Russian apparels and the Bmws, as thou hast said, and do even so to the Nairaland's league of Russian 5star Generals, for their loyalty to Vladimirovich Putin, and let nothing fail of all that thou hast spoken.

Then took Mazeltov, the apparels and the Bmws, and arrayed each member of the Nairaland's league of Russian 5star Generals, and brought them in the convoy of Bmws through the street of the city, and proclaimed before them, Thus shall it be done unto the men whom the king delighteth to honour.

Thereafter, Mazeltov hasted to his house, mourning, and having his head covered with keffiyeh - a Saudi-Arabian headgear.

And Mazeltov told Missy89 his wife and all his friends every thing that had befallen him. Then said his wise men and Missy89 his wife unto him, If you go against the Nairaland's league of Russian 5star Generals anointed by the cosmic order, before whom thou hast begun to fall, thou shalt not prevail against them, but shalt surely fall before them in the same manner Amerika fell in Vietnam & Somalia.

And while they were yet talking with him, came the king's chamberlains, and hasted to bring Mazeltov unto the banquet prepared by Zoharariel's new mistresses - Mizmycoli, Houseofglam7, Sinaj & Itannooluwa.

To Be Continued.........

Zoharariel:
Amerika needs a global financial reset and She is clearly preparing to start WW3 but want the history books to make it look like Russia or even China started it.

i trust putin, even if they like let them conduct military drills in moscow, beijing, pyongyang and new delhi combined extending to the moon, sun and outer space . nobody is going to give them that opportunity (they may only buzz and provoke them). they will have to shoot first

BRICS is here to stay and a parallel world bank will be formed whether they like it or not. the world must have options not only US/EU hegemony.
the dollar must not be the only reserves currency and they must pay their ballooning debt to the world.

Nobody wants to (shoot first) throw the first jab, they are in provocation series season 1 till the first shot is made (operation provoke your enemy to cause blunders).

the monkey will not use the cat's paw to do its dirty jobs this time.

Zoharariel:
I swear to Obatala, with the Russian S-400 Triumf ; there's nothing like stealth.
Remember how Amerika said her useless Northrop Grumman B2-Spirit stealth bomber was invisible to all enemy radars until the Serbs shot it down with a 30year-old Russian S-125 SAM over the Yugoslavian sky in 1999?
The B2-Spirit (Spirit of Missouri) with serial number: “AV-8 88 0329” crashed in Bosnia, 15km from the Serbian boarder. And guess what?
They used Airforce transport planes to transfer the wreckage to Germany NATO base - and then argued that the incident never occurred.
Well, let's just say by the time these F-22 raptors get blinded by krasukha-4 & then shot down into the Black sea by the Russian S-400Triumf; I would be quick to remind everyone how Amerika's dangerous provocation at the backyard of the peace-loving Russia triggered ww3.
Picture 1: The grossly overrated Amerikan B2-Spirit.
Picture 2: The wicked 30-Year old Russian S-125 SAM that disgraced the Amerikan B2-Spirit over the Yugoslavian sky in 1999.
Picture 3: The Almighty Russian S-400Triumf that will - Insha Allah - shoot down the Amerikan F-22 raptors into the Black sea before nextweek

bro the Russkies ain't smiling

but this US and their amebo don tire person sef

from the korean peninsula to the middle east/persian gulf, libya, afganistan and central asia, chinese sea and south east asia imbroglio. they are encouraging smaller states to spite bigger states especially Russia and China and dancing like unclad masquerade around the globe.

it seems this guys are angling for war. they should stop wasting time and bring it on

nice discussion with intelligent submissions

save ur logo in the theme folder where the main stylesheet reside

then do this

<a href="<?php echo esc_url( home_url( '/' ) ); ?>"><img src="<?php bloginfo( 'stylesheet_directory' ); ?>/logo.jpg" width="150" height="150" alt="logo" /></a>

replace logo.jpg with the name of ur file. the width and height attribute can be omitted.

I've been developing with windows 8 for a very long time now and I haven't had any problem that is not fixable. All OS has compatibility problems from time to time.



If you're still having this problem, download a fresh and latest version of wamp from their website.
Download and install all vcredist versions they ask you to (2010 - 2015 x86 and x64 for each)
Install wampserver as administrator (i.e right click on installation program and chose Run as Administrator)

This fixes most of wamps problems you'll ever encounter

hi boss it has been long i sight u for here, its like u went on break.

thanks for the insight

what u said is absolute truth, all os have their good and terrible part. win 8 has a terrible UX and third party software issues but it is not a problem to professionals (we know how to wiggle our way through even if it requires cmd) though it may be an uphill task for beginners as they may have a hard time getting use to the new style

ame wod ufan ado

make i revive this thread, although most of the crew have abdicated, abandon ship and time is no longer our friend.

at least zohorariel is ma gee anytime anyday, always detonating bombs and grenades in my belly. thumps up man

JayRise:
Thanks. So what about the WEB SERVER part?

the google cloud service provides a platform for all the jargons he said. everything (data + backend API including the WEB SERVER ish) will be hosted on the cloud which will serve as backend for the android app.

what he said was not bad but the jargons he threw around without explaining the process is unprofessional.

actually i have done the consultancy service he is supposed to provide as part of his service so i need to be paid.

how na

that kind tongue u showed earlier fit make me see demons for broad daylight.

if no be say i............. i for bite that tongue like say i dey chop kpomo

KINGinVALHALA3:
I will leave the emboldened to answer itself.

I'm using window's 8 and I have tried running it as admin, but it still didn't work.

Yeah, my thought actually, maybe I should just uninstall and and re-install it again.

Thanks a lot.

win 7 is more developer friendly than win 8. i heard a lot of guys had that problem with win8 initially but if fresh install won't work which i doubt, u can consider downgrading to win 7. personally i hate win 8 with passion, it just freaks me out.

Download a fresh wamp online for win8, that should solve ur problems

misspicy2:
What again?

such a nice rhetoric

u guys are all funny or silly or both.

somebody needs a web programmer and nobody cares to ask which language and framework was use to build the API to know if u are eligible.

Nobody ask of the project location, skill set required and other project details to enable one ascertain if he/she is suitable or not.

Na so Job scarce or abi na change affect una

JayRise:
I am about to build an android app, so I contracted a developer for the job. But he said two things are needed. BACKEND API and WEB SERVER.

Now, this is my first time investing in this tech area and these jargons are just hard to understand. Please can someone help me explain what BACK END API and WEB SERVER means and how I can get them? It's urgent please...

Well u are about to be SCAMMED (with those jargons ).

if ur andriod app requires data that needs to be updated frequently, u need a space on google cloud (a service provided by google for android apps) which will serve as a data store for ur application. this data store is generally called backend where ur application can connect to access and store data. In simple terms, it is just like hosting a site where u pay webhost companies to host ur website. since u are not tech-savvy i won't go into details.

The developer should acquire that service for u as part of the deal without throwing those jargons around. i hope i have been able to simplify it or maybe someone else would do better explanation.

so basically, u will pay google to host the application data (backend) and the developer's fee.

gbogboti:
Please call 08036212832

u have just opened ur number for spamming and scamming.

u should have instead specify the kind of website u need, ur budget, ur location/preferred location of the developer and possibly drop ur mail for contact.

OR if it is a full time job, solicit for CV and portfolio to enable u sort, screen and contact ur preferred candidate. ##well ma opinion anyway

KINGinVALHALA3:
Database Administrators in the house, please I need help on my non working WampServer.

Whenever I open my wampserver on my system and click on phpMyAdmin, I end up getting an open browser with "403 Forbidden,
Forbidden,
You don't have permission to access /phpmyadmin/ on this server".

I have uninstalled all suspected apps on my laptop, e.g modem apps, Skype, games, etc, and I have also browsed it online for a solution without getting a concrete answer.

I will appreciate if anyone here can help me with the solution that I seek for.

Thanks as I await worthy responses.

so u are learning web development yet u spend so much time jabbing those wannabees throwing tantrums over romanceland, dating and whatever zones u call them.

u should know u have a terrific job ahead of u and start focusing if u want to be successful in this business. stop wasting ur time posting those trash dissing and shading those who don't have a plan for their lives and concentrate on ur programming journey.. i can assure u that in few years u will start reaping benefits till eternity.

Back to ur probs, that error is thrown by Apache not from the database probably becos u run wamp as a normal user not as admin. if u are running windows 7 whenever u want to run wamp server, right click on its icon and select run as admin.

OR if it still gives u problem, uninstall it and install it again. Normally wamp runs as a service on windows and autostart itself during windows startup unless u explicitly choose to start it manually during installation.

i don't know how to explain it further becos i am tired of typing but it is a privilege issue. if u don't know how to start and stop the server manually, then just uninstall it and do a clean install.

marveangel:
I want to award points to users after the person they refer to the site becomes a paid member......I am using user referral for referral. user points for points and rules to fire the action .

How would the system know if a new registered member is through referral to trigger the action(awarding points to the old user who refer the new user). In simple terms what would trigger the rules to award point to users.

i don't understand what u mean by the referred becoming a paid member, how do u hope to identify new paying members and who referred them.

i have suggestions though but drop ur plan first.
