Definitely true.but Im not telling NL to downgrade, Im telling NL to upgrade. Like NL allowed Whatsapp n 2go to come into their country n rule them easily. Look at how LINE, WeChat n others are dominating the Asian market but couldnt dominate American n European markets? Look how Google n Facebook dominate American n European markets but couldnt dominate Asian markets. They could only do it 2 Nigerians n as long we may boring, dull n not creative, they'll always will.

Nigerians are trendy. Basically we are aggressive consumers of western technology. We find what they do to be cool and by so doing ignored our own.

Our local companies prefer to do business with microsoft or google.

There was a messaging app like whatsApp from Uganda launched around 2005 in Uganda, guess what nobody cared about it and it died but immediatley whatsApp came out much later, everybody is using it.

When i started programming, i wanted to create something cool, I know i can. But who will use my product?

So, Nigerian programmers are creative but creativity will never put food on your table here.

₦ keep in mind when designing your website. Enough of the =N=

alternatively copy and paste the unicode ₦ in forum posts.

Thanks OP.

It is resolved!

The client paid my balance this morning and i have unblocked the website and also released the cPanel details.

Thanks so much y'all.

Wow! Very good comments.

I agree too that the terms were not properly laid out.

Since i hosted the website, i have control over the cpanel and domain. I also know that there must be a way to reset things in case she decides to be smart.

What prompted me to take down the website was the barrage of threats and insults i got from her.

@Grime: its not a case of anyone being skeptical, i just feel she is trying to delay the payment for as long as she can. I have been very straightforward in my dealings with her up until this point.

The funny thing is that this is not my first, I have been doing websites since 2007, but this is my first client from Nairaland. I think there is a lesson to be learnt here.

As you guys have pointed out.. i will put back the website and send all details to her. But first, we will have to agree on a day for the final payment.

Thanks guys.

The initial agreement was 50% before project starts (which has been paid) and 50% once the website has been completed

Then i manage it for 2 years.

I just feel i will be at her mercy once i send those details to her. The fact that she has not paid the balance all this while is what is making me think this way.

Hello Fellow Webmasters,

There is a situation i have found myself, i am looking for experienced advice.
I have completed a job for a client almost 2 months ago, but every time i ask for my balance, it is from one story to the other. It is either she called me i did not pick up or she does not understand how certain parts of the site functions. Despite the fact that i have sent her everything that she requested and she has said on many occasions that she is satisfied with the job.

This has gone on for over a month now. And after calling her today, she said i should send the login details of the entire site (the Cpanel Admin Login). I told her i cannot do that until i get my balance and she rained me with abuses. Infact i had to cut the call one time because of the swear words she was using.

I took down the website today to see how she will deal with me because she promised me that i will REGRET it.

So house, how do you deal with this kind of client?

Thank you.

Codeigniter 2.2 and am using hmvc modular extension from wiredesign.
I want to create a template module to serve as a master template from wch I cn call other pages.

If i get u correctly, what you want to do is have a main controller that in turn calls the other controllers depending on request?

First make sure all your contollers extends MX_Controller class. use (require_once APPPATH."third_party/MX/Controller.php" )
With the library you have from wiredesign, call modules::run($a, $b, $c,....); from your main controller.
- Where $a is the path to the controller file and method in the controller to call. e.g users controller and createUser action will be 'users/createUser';
- $b, $c etc are argument passed to the method being called

Also Note that library mandates that you have all your controllers in a modules folder in the APP directory and that the controllers folder is also present in the app directory but it must be empty.

Codeigniter was not designed with hmvc in mind, an this is more like a hack.

var_dump the response from modules::run and let it guides you. The library itself is not well documented and you will have to do a lot of debugging to figure things out yourself.

Good luck.

C++ is not easy to learn because it does not follow mathematical procedures. C++ is like Greek to me. Someone told me I should use c++ to create an app, I will how I learn when the words scare me. I did some research and I found out that c++ is use to create video call, voice call and games. C++ is a like math. I saw a video of someone writing c++ programs without looking at any book .c++ is the best method to create a good chat app. If you agree or disagree with me comments, it is allowed . How can someone master programs without looking at any book or searching online .?
http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/tutorial/arrays/

Practice...Practice...Practice...Practice

You cannot master C++ even in 10 years.

It is not PHP and it is not Python.

Even ‎Bjarne Stroustrup CANNOT beat his chest and say he has completely tamed that beast!

My advice, just go with the flow. Do your best and dont compare yourself with someone who is coding without looking at any book. That guy must have paid his dues.

daddynasa:
thanks man for the clarity. what about those for nairaland and co. do u think they re hosted with nigerian web hosting coy?

Nairaland is not hosted with a Nigerian company but a good Nigerian host will do fine with their level of traffic.

daddynasa:
is there any webhost in nigeria that can handle website traffic like that of facebook twitter etc if yes echo their names. please b sincere

The question is how many web hosts in the world can handle facebook traffic.

Facebook is hosted on a custom infrastructure and your regular webshost cannot handle that much load.

The short answer is NO.

Long answer, just rent as many VPSs as Possible and load balance them, maybe you can come close.

trimwis:
I bought several domain and host from a particular web hosting company in Nigeria
after a year all my site was deleted because the the company did not pay for their resseler fee
from the main hosting company they bought the host from.

i am trying to make direct payment but no way

this Nigerian web hosting company they are not futuristic the will see any opportunity they will just rush none of of them have run this biz for at least 5 years.

if you want to buy domain and host buy from credible companies abroad that are futuristic like godaddy and hostgator

OP, you are mostly right!.

here is my best wrestler.. LATINO HEAT (Eddie Guerrero)

Programming makes me hungry... A lot.

Really?
....360k per month = 12k per day for fuelling his generator.. ....

Shey na Kainji Dam him dey fuel ni? .... abi him dey supply light to the whole of him village?


We know that fuel is expensive and Power is very erratic in Nigeria. .. But the price of PMS and Diesel has not yet gotten that outrageously expensive

So Basketmouth should please shut the fucck up and stop blowing issues out of proportion

*MODIFIED

A lot of peeps have come here criticizing me for my 'poor man mentality', and how I am ignorant of the fact that a 100kva gen guzzles up 12k worth of diesel in 12 hours.. Now, my question to them is this:

Why in God's name would a sane regular dude use in his residential duplex or office a Generator ,which can conveniently power a 25-room hotel which has 1hp a\c in each of its rooms?

Basketmouth is officially known to be a comedian, and hardly anything else... please how much power is required to run a contact office, edit some videos, and maintain stable internet? .... Abi him dey run 24hour mortuary services for there too?

My point is.. if he stupiddly chooses to live above his means, how is that the society's or government's fault?

I just like it when pple are blunt. Kudos man for taking the words out of my mouth

It will be difficult to take you seriously if your site looks like the complete replica of a payment processor pple already know.

Except I want to offend God, my parent ,though, not wealthy give me everything I need... everything. They were and are still my only source of income from 100 and Now I'm in my finals. I lack nothing except the normal student brokeness when you use your money for unnecessary things.
I was not placed on monthly alawi I simple ask the moment my account is becoming red and, yes, I get alert from my bank.
At home or in school I get what I want it only reduces when I'm at home. My dad still gives me money to make my hair whenever he notice my hair looks unkept...
What I know is our parents are trying, they can't give what they don't have... we should try to be contented.

baby, can i have your number?

please help.how can i use cron job command to send over 5million sms message? .and how long does it take to get the message delivered? Also is there other method i can use to efficiently send over 5million sms message and get it all delivered? Thanks.

Use www.padisoft.org

What you do is post the message once, then our system will intelligently send the message in batches. Usually this should take around 30 mins to complete.

It is very easy.

You can contact me directly and i will put you through jidemac4 at gmail.com

seedbaba:

@surutobi
Padisoft wanted a domain to b bought from namecheap and i av a domain already. Hw do i do dat?

We recommend namecheap, but if you already have a domain just login to the control panel of your domain and update the dns records with the info you see on your Padisoft dashboard.

You can contact me directly if you want me to do this for you free of charge.

Jide.

Someone should be help me with how to make a bulk sms site.... Very important

See www.padisoft.org

Okwori12:

CodeHouse:
Yup mate, When everyone agrees, then someone is not thinking..I don't expect to see people partying anyway..I totally expected to read informational and creative posts..most topics here are flowing towards one direction cos everyone seem to be doing the same thing.

Some of us moderate other forums and some visit forums aside nairaland, it is not only enough that moderators should just be on the lookout for offenders or any use of the "f" word or any other inappropriate words (a simple line of sensor code can do that at the backend, where Seun resides), what about finding solutions to the numerous questions asked by forum members,especially the green progammers? (So we can have topics that are "Solved" )

As a moderator or a veteran on a forum, new members expect much of your input but the case here is opposite..sometimes moderators should stir up interest of people visiting here by constantly creating post that is informative or educating..little wonder why most topics here don't make front page.

Infact, I believe the rate at which a section or a forum would gain members, is directly proportional to the moderator's input (and of course the input of other veterans).

Moderators should be one of the first to respond to a post cos new members believe they know more and are vast in knowledge.

That's the reason you find people in here ceating a whatsapp group where real solutions and brainstorimng is done. In there, people with like interest communicate better, they feel the connection they share..I would say the distractions and numerous derailing posts here is one thing that should be pruned.

My point though, is "Nothing new in here"..What's Next?

A standing ovation for you sir.

Nowadays, i visit the jokes and business sections more.

I think that programming is not very popular among Nigerians. I have seen a few topics here hit the frontpage, but the response is nothing compared to a thread from the politics section.

You are right about moderators sha. We need more expert inputs here.

We have made changes to the platform to serve you better and we now offer the best prices in nigeria.

Thank you
