₦airaland Forum

It's not been more than two months since I started earning enough to move out of my parent's place and now I have to start putting away money for retirement?

Location isn't important for this job as long as we can arrange Internet access and constant power supply for you.

Apparently, the answer for now remains a firm "no" as the Nigerian Government is planning a law making same-sex marriage an offense punishable by a non-negotiable five year prison term. It is also an offence to encourage same-sex marriage: 5 years, wow!

Can someone without a degree opt for the programme? Can you 'serve' in your own company?

Actually, joftech, AJAX has nothing to do with Gmail's speed. Try browsing the plain HTML version - it's also lightening-fast because they have no graphics or flash ads.

Technically, these are very interesting projects and in the past I have been tempted to attempt them.

Economically, it's a waste of time to set out to design a compiler or an Operating System. If you can take your talent and use it to develop something useful and a little bit unique, you will make more money and satisfy more people.

When you have made a lot of money, you can take that money and use it to satisfy your craving for difficult technical challenges, but for now we have a free OS (Linux) and free compilers and Interpreters (GCC, PHP) that can easily be applied to various interesting problems that need to be solved.

Let's talk. I'm impressed that you're even thinking in this direction. Put up a website, start a blog: let's learn more about you!

This is what happens when you give guns to frustrated young men instead of opening up opportunities for self-development and prosperity. They will want to practice their hard-earned skills.

The false idea that PHCN is a private body which has purchased NEPA is widespread. Names are powerful, aren't they?

I can't believe it - anytime I remember "We'll exit through Iran!" I just start chuckling to myself.

If possible, use CSS for your overall layout. The problem is that a page layout based on tables will not be rendered until the last byte is downloaded. If you use CSS, then the parts of your page that are downloaded first will be displayed first. A CSS-based layout will also be easier to adapt for printing or viewing on mobile phones.

The Nairaland Forum Theme is built using a table-based layout, which is regretable.

When you warn people, most of the time they will want to argue with you. Or Nferyn, are you volunteering to be the one in charge of warning people?

I feel it's better to give a suspension even if it's just for an hour or two. If people cannot obey the clearly written rules of the forum, they will not obey any warning. It's important to send the message that Nairaland is not a lawless land like, well, the Nigeria of the past. Now I'm sounding like a cop!

I wonder if our current crop of members will be able to give a more satisfying response to this old discussion.

Hello mahi,

I'm sorry to hear about what you're experiencing!

Seun.

Those slimey, scaley, slithery reptiles actually hiss!

I think it's smart to target a monitor resolution of 800x600 if your design is complicated. Else you should just make it flow to fit the width of the screen. So your current strategy makes sense.

Tables are so 1997, use CSS!

You're hearing only what you want to hear!

Any updates to this story?

We do not have a shortage of children in the world, and so the fact that gay couples can't bear children is irrelevant. In fact, there are many children who have no parents. They are called orphans. It would be better to have two gay parents than to remain orphans.

The fact that I am a man who loves women shouldn't stop me from recognizing the right of another man to love men. I believe that as much as possible we should live and let live. There are other 'sins' - like fornication, adultery, and lying - which are looked down upon by the society but are permitted by law.

Homosexuality is just like that. It may be abnormal and difficult for us to understand, but it's not even as harmful as adultery. So if people decide to go into it knowing the social consequences, they should be allowed.

These are lovely pictures, Dagaro. Thanks for submitting them! I don't remember seeing anything like what you have in your third picture, and the iron rods in your first picture were not there during my visit. Hope you had fun?

Here's my proposal. The government should recognize homosexual unions and allow such couples to adopt children. But they should not call it marriage. They should just call it gay union and give it most of the privileges available to married couples (such as tax breaks for children in their care).

"Hello, I'm John and this is my partner Mike. We formalized our union last year."
"Hello Mike, I'm Seun and this is my wife Jill. We got married last year"

The word marriage has a specific meaning and there's no need to extend it. Just create a new word for the gays who want tax breaks and the other benefits of marriage, simple.

Everyone should be happy with that. Any country wants to license this brilliant idea?
