₦airaland Forum

Dear nairalanders, the above phrase(NEMESIS) is seriously giving me concern.
Nemesis which simply means punishment or defeat that is deservd and cannot be avoided.
...From d definitn, it's worthy to note that nemesis is d UNAVOIDABLE outcome of d evil deeds perverted n done by unrepentant hardened men.

Let me use Nigeria as a case study; starting from the highly rankd(politicians) to d man in the street(less privldgd) non is safe judging from d concept 'nemesis'.
if truly that nemesis exist, why is d below set of people still living;
*POLITICIANS = As a Nigerian u dont need to be told abt d diversion of public funds by both past and present presidos, yet na dem live long pas! BABANGI, OBJ etc.
*BUSINESS = At onitsha main market in anambra most of d businessmen make use of charms to make their sales. Yet na dem get d best ride.
*CIVIL SERVANTS = many civil servants live above their salaries reason being that many depend on bribe,cheatn n other illegal means of making money. Yet many of them have graduates, houses n even livin extravagant life style Etc....
...WHERE IS THE NEMESIS
I was groomed in d fear of God. As a kid my mum always told me to leave vengeance for God, that no sinner shall go unpunished but so far i've seen sinners die n burried with their attrocities. yet most brainwashd brethren wil always say dat nemesis visits either the culprit or their children yet unborn(backing it with d scriptures). Bt y shld d sins be transfered to d children or grandchidrn. the result of nemesis is mainly seen in Nigerian movies MAY BE TO SCARE EVIL DOERS. Please, drop ur points backing it up with ur reasons. Is there really nemesis

Moderator abeg move am to front page. Biko!

[quote author=saints_1]God of mercy, I became afraid when a primary 6 student starts looking for 'odu' to pass a common enterance exam. Where have we got it wrong? Let the change starts from ourselves, if we truly change, those in govt will sit up.[/quote]Bros, it aint easy to tackle evil from bottom top. Rather its better and easy to go through top down approach. In a layman's undstandn; we human simply learn fast n quick from d behaviour of those on top or people we call role model.


...9ja will be a better place when our leaders transits from their present injustice and pretence to a better leader dat can render services without fear or favour.

Sample rest his case.

@op kudos!
Mine could be traced frm my childhood. I've always dared things dat r beyond me especially when it has to do with biz. As a student (though almst tru) i earn upto 200$ a month(convrt am to 9ja) due to God's inspiratn n my self motivation.
...D journey was damn tough at d bgining bt wit d advise frm my siblings and motivational pastors i buckled up. Am into a seasonal biz dat pulls crowd.
My little advice to prospects:
U'r defeated physically when ur mind is defeatd.
Ur aspirations may seem nt wrkn out at first, dis doesnt mean dat d biz doesnt yield. Every successful entrepreneur knws dat CONSISTENCY is a paramount key to a successful biz. Dats my little take on dis. Cheers!

Chinom: What we should strive for is a SOUTHERN NIGERIA republic not Biafra. Biafra as currently composed will be of no use to us. If BH can be contained or even wiped out,then Nigeria should remain as it is. Otherwise, we should move for a southern Nigeria nation. Like minds should stick together. We need each other in the South.

Nwanne, there's sense in your write up.
I think all dis our igbo brothers clamouring for biafra doesn't knw dat no country gets freedom without violence. Meanwhl, igbos lack cordinatn. They r full of saboteurs. Imagine, from ojukwu to Biafra, 2 biafra zionist movement, and now 2 CIYO or wat evr....
Seems confused
Abeg mk we hear word jor!
Igbos are no more after BIAFRA(plain truth), rather we are after unity n justice. If peace, unity and justice cannot be attained then d quote above is highly welcm.

Mind u(quoters) am a proud igbo boy. anam eche nkusu unu.. Oya!

oladayo042: The end of the days.

...False prophets(pastors) has always existed even in ages past. Take note.

Those of u saying dat 9ja pastors are duping d poor masses in their midst, have u bn opportuned to watch d preaching of JOYCE MEYER, JOHN OLSTEN, T.B BLAKE (American based pastors)etc. If u have done so, i dnt think u have to depict 9ja pastors as fraudsters knowing fully well dat Nigerians are deeply mimicking, copying and importing western cultures to our fatherland(advent of technology). Dis advancement is also causing uproars in arabian countries and middle east nations(their females are demanding freedom). Let me not derail d thread. Dont rate me as a pastor defender cos i dont believe in pastors though i go to church, i also dnt blv in churches but i knw there's a GOD. Dat's my take.

...Dis is a mere superstitious believe. if i intend to kill u, 3am cnt be a hinderance or a propelling force to execute my plans.

Nairaland di o.k!

Maleeq: No biggie. Its a known tradition that programmers/developers add "Easter Eggs" to applications.

These are hidden features that don't necessarily add features to the application. But they are kinda cool. Google it out, do you know there are hidden car racing games in lower versions of excel??


There are several reserved keywords in Windows. The restriction isn't a mistake/magic that, as you claim, even Microsoft cant explain. Ofcourse they put it there to avoid conflict. The CON is a DOS reserved keyword that was brought forward into Windows. CON is used to specify the device file used to capture whatever was printed onscreen.


And oh yes, you can create the folder. You have to specify the UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path though. Try it:
Open the Command prompt by clicking Start -> Run and typing cmd
Enter: C:\> md \\.\c:\con and press the ENTER key.
Now, Open My Computer and browse through the path where you created CON folder... Surprising.. ?? Yeah.. you have created it successfully

Now, try to delete the folder from My computer. OOPS!!! You cant delete it...

Now, try this in command prompt console

C:\> rd \\.\c:\con

Yeah!! You did it...
Check this link for other names you cant use: Restricted File Names On Windows/DOS


Another hoax. They put it there to create "Filler texts" in a document. Not just the numbers (200, 99), try any combination.
Typing =rand(X,Y) (with numbers for X and Y) results in X paragraphs of Y repetitions of the sentence.
For example, =rand(10,10) will produce ten paragraphs, each with ten repetitions. Microsoft has officially described this as a feature and not an Easter egg.
While you are at it, try =rand() and see the "magic"


Wingdings font is all about symbols (characters to symbols), it was developed by Microsoft in 1990 and since then it has been a part of every text editor by Microsoft. Its no magic or hoax, but an amazing coincidence.
The magic is valid, but the flight number is a lie, those are not the flight numbers of the one that hit Twin Towers. The flight numbers were United Airlines Flight 175 and American Airlines flight 11. These, if shortened, would be UA175 and AA11. Q33N is just an interesting coincidence in notepad.

Neeeeeeeext!

U 3much!

Am a 400level computer sc student in a Nigerian univ. I wil advice u 2 go 4 computer sc considering ur intentions towards software dev n programmimg langs. Csc wil lay d fundamental n concrete basis of programmimg/SDLC in u. Bt have dis in mind, 9ja univ wholly lean on theories bt personal strives n pursuit towards ur dream can mk u soar high.
Best of luck!

virtuoso01: Go and find a church and become a 'born again sister' with a pious disposition and manners.

I promise you that in less than six months many of the brothers would start having marriage dreams about you.

Do that instead of coming here and rubbishing yourself in front of the whole world.


That is my candid advice.

SECONDED!

He's simply amazn.

Truly, i feel 4 u (Bt u 2 open legs!). Wel, d deed has bn done so i wont lay blames alone bt wil advice u to move on wit ur lyf. Dis thread s quite insightful mostly to evri gal readn dis thread. I'v sn many gals using dia pussy to seal a rltnshp, Damn sh.it! Finaly 70% of such rlatnshps dnt work out gud. Please, nairalandrs(lass) learn frm d pathetic story of ths wench.

bennyraz: Nicole9. Yea! it truly hurts especially when u had to do 4 different abortions for this guy
Obviously, he used you right from the very beginning? mixing the blood with water and all that
Well, I suggest you see a man of God for proper counseling and prayers. Kai, that guy is heartless
but never mind, what goes around comes around nemesis will surely catch up with him in due time.

Once again, try and get your mind off him and don't think of trying anything suicidal cuz
life is too sweet and i believe and i trust God in sending to you a better suitor. Oya, smile jare

There's nothing lyk nemesis get dat 2 ur skul.
It's a word opined by highly spiritually beings to soothe d minds of d bruised.
Meant n harm bt it's reality.

...During my secndry sch, i'v always knwn dat i'l go 4 a course dat has to d wit mathematics. I later dcided 2 settle 4 statistics(wey al man d run 4...lol). Due to d influence of my eldr bro studyn mech engine at uwana poly i was made to knw dat ppl r really scared of statistics n dat stdnts fail d course woofuly. I startd to panic, d nxt mrnin i refilled my jamb form to computer sc whch am glad dat i did.
I later found out dat truly STATISTICS no be moi moi. D stdnts dat offer stats suffer a lot.

oayombo: In your own words, what is the difference between a java & symbian enabled device.

If am askd, i'l say dat d both platforms(java n symbia) are multitaskn o/s bt symbian s a more classical o/s in d sense dat symbians can allow multiple applicatns 2 run at a tym unlike java dat can only run one at a tym in exceptn of playn music whl d applicatn runs.
Sure dis helpd u?

komole: JONATHAN's PLAN TO DISUNITE THE SOUTH WEST

Well, enough of the Jokes about the change of the University of Lagos to Moshood Abiola University.

I could be a very comical person but also very realistic in thoughts. After the jokes and funfair about the change in name, it kept me thinking deep and coming up with the conclusion this is nothing but a POLITICAL CUNFUSION plot targeted at the Southwestern Region of the Country.

Its a fact that Boko Haram is more political than religion to bring about the disunity of the Northern Region.

Now the name change of the University was announced knowing Politicians, Professionals and Students (who comprises majority of the population) will condemn and protest against the action. This is a plot to create a division amongst the Yorubas and make it look like they don't appreciate one of their own in person of Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola the acclaimed winner of the June 12 1993 Presidential Election. Even though he is termed an "hero" by past and present politicians across Nigeria.

The Question is why University of Lagos? Why was it not the National Theatre, National Museum, Bar Beach, Third Mainland Bridge or any other National Edifice Named after him?

Don't forget this present administration looks at the North and South West as their major critic and as such will do anything to disunite their "common thoughts"

Jonathan and his Government want to play on the intelligence of people by pretending they have good intentions when in reality they do not.

o boy! U have nothing to say.

@Op, wat u have 2 knw is dt xtains 'LIVE BY FAITH'. Ur questn is very intuitive and needs to be properly scrutinized bt believe me EVERY RELIGION IS FULL OF MYSTERIES. As a boy dt waz groomed frm a well xtain family i wil tel u dt diz post if followd as u wish wil lead to backslide,compromise or blasphemy against our xtain blv. Read my words... We'r xtains by faith, to avoid complexities n contradictions dis thread is misleadn to xtainhood!!!

LagosShia: boko haram,like their wahhabi aka salafist fellows the world over,are ruthless and barbaric even killing their fellow muslims (both sunni and shia muslims). why should a leader also do the same thing by making inciting speeches based on ignorance?

O boy! wetin b ur own? Na d man send 'em? Muslims has alwayz bn known to b violent(weda sunni or shia).

boko haram like all wahhabi oriented groups of fanatics have carried out attacks against muslims everywhere including nigeria,syria,iraq,pakistan,afghanistan,e.t.c.my question to the ignorant man in sheep clothing is this:if boko haram is carrying out a jihad against christians,is it also a jihad they are carrying out against their muslim victims?

...It is obvious dt islam is a religion of VIOLENCE.

it is so obvious now more than ever that there are people who stand to gain or seeking to gain from the boko haram menace.they are using this issue with the help of the media to spread more hatred and division.obviously,if they dont stand to gain,they will not make wreckless and ugly statements of incitement.

...D truth has always bn bitter, although u'r entitled to ur opinion.

this man is indeed a wolf in sheep clothing.he is playing the victim and over-generalizing with religious and tribal statements to pretend he is innocent.haven't christians and muslims alike committed crimes against the interest of nigeria?boko haram is far off from islam and far off from leading a jihad in the true meaning of the word in islamic terminology.

...LIES!
...kill d cause of a problem, i bet u it will nevr surface again.

U must b a muslim i guess?

@op, since u said u wont lyk to teach. I think it wil be wise u drop d idea of B.ed and consider going 4 a PGD. This wil boast ur qualificatn also broaden ur knwldge on ur field. Datz ma take, gud luk no jona. lol!

Meehn! Mine is numerous.
*liverpool vs ac milan uefa champs lg final. Nevr blvd d result.
*chelsea vs napoli(twaz lyk magic).
*uruguay vs ghana(2010 w/c, i shed tears 4 Ghanaians).

Finally, my anticipation over BLUE'S victory by 2mrw is gona be a memory as well. Lol!

@op, if nt 4 maturity i wuld ve used harsh words on u. 4rm ur write up u seemd enlightnd n intelligent bt 4rm wat u composed above it demeans ur personality. Complain s nt a solutn to such things. As a poster 1c said "quit d sch" if it's nt convenient 4 u. Mind u, am nt a redeemer.

I LOVE NAIRALAND!!!

@cyrexx n logic boy. U guys r cute(more grease to ur elbow).

Mukina n Seun, abeg place dis on d front page abeg.

I got baffled n confused due to d shock 4rm d preacher. I was makn imaginations lyk d below:
* Does it mean dt every poor man in d society has chosen to be so?

* I logd in to 2go n den placed it in my update, only 4 ma frnds to tel me dt it's true; dat poor men lack d three basic tinz dt elevates one to sucex thus; CONCENTRATION, THOUGHT N WILL.
I got more confusd does it mean dt all poor men lack d above attributes truly?

* D preachr backd his prosperity sermon wit a verse in d scripture dt d poor must always b among us, bt who is d poor?

* On d oda hand, i had a 2nd thought to hs sermon, if al those suffering 4rm poverty and dia baba -(destitution/penury) cn thoroughly study diz 3 terms: concentration, will n thought n put it into practice, i believe d govt wil hv less to crack on poverty alleviation.


I fink dis wil go a lng way in helpn many ppl if properly scrutinized. Abeg, nairalanders drop ur bombs i really need it.

Two days ago while listening to a prosperity preacher(pastor), i heard him sayn "poverty is a choice". This got me baffled n confused at d same time. I tried to comprehend his expression bt it was to n avail. Please palz, i nid ur sensible insights on diz(back ur point). Mukina n Seun dis may likely b d last post i'll update on dis forum if nt placed in frontpage(abeg place am).
