It seems as if your friendship was very weak and it crumbled as a result of a trivial issue. It seems as if the racial differences are aggravating the problem.

Spankesty.

When you give up an industry to government control (like oil), you end up with a situation where anyone that doesn't have friends in high places won't be able to do business in that industry, and I don't want that for the computer software industry so small boys can continue chopping.

No, the government can only act as a catalyst and nothing more. Government does not have all the money. The little money they have is tied up in a lot of under-funded projects like education, prison reforms, salaries for civil servants, national security, et cetera. The rest is in our hands, and all government has to do is get out of the way and let us, the entrepreneurs, do what we do best.

One way to get a lot of posts is to engage in prolonged arguments!

Got you!

mozby, I am happy to hear that this has never happened to you and I am glad you have raised this topic so that Nairalanders who are so asaulted will know what to do.

Where do I sign and when do we start?

Oh dear!   The Nairaland Forum is very much opposed to scams.

Thanks for pointing this out. Unfortunately I am already addicted to MySQL!

Were you married already?

I would rather say it's the little purple monsters inhabiting the moon that cause all this. They are there, they are just so clever that they hide every time we try to observe them.

No, it's the Holy Coconut! *Rolling on the floor with laughter!*

Hehe. I wonder how many people get this joke. I feel like explaining each line!

What if Islam is the one true religion?

What makes you think so?

You can only get a cool second-hand car with 1 million naira!

Is it compulsory to be married?

Even if she says she wants the feathers of an Ostrich, and you know you can get it, why not? Afterall it will help the relationship and make the wife feel proud of her status, and she will show it off to her friends and say "my husband got this for me, isn't it beautiful?!" Nothing in life is necessary, but many things are beneficial.

The issue of what men can do or what women can't do isn't important, here. Afterall, men can't carry pregnancies. <snip>]

I think what we are saying is that when a woman says "I want to achieve this", men should be able to support her instead of discouraging her just because she happens to be a woman. If she says, "I want to be president" and people say "no", let it not be just because she's a woman. Let her not be mistreated or denied or repressed or opposed just because she happens to be a woman.

I disagree with the idea that the woman is just "a helper". Eve might have been a helper for Adam, maybe, but that doesn't mean all women are helpers and nothing more. Men can be helpers and encouragers too if they so desire, instead of just acting as commanders. I believe that a woman has the right to pursue her own "selfish" goals and be supported by her man. Her goal in life should not be limited to "helping" the man to achieve his own selfish goals in life.

"Circumcision" is a terrible sin against women and their future husband .

Ok, gbenga explain to me the problems you are having with texpad?

That is why I suggested the use of the Netbeans IDE. Problems with Java should be about Java itself and not "Textpad" or other third party tools. With Netbeans, compiling your program is as easy as pressing a function key!

I can lose a key or small object in 15 seconds:

I hide it somewhere safe and then promptly forget to note the location. 15 seconds later, I'm asking myself, "where did I put that key?"

Perhaps you'll need to setup a survey to learn that.

Another point: Most Nigerians - particularly businessmen - don't like to interact via email or chat. They don't take you seriously unless they can hear your voice, so you will need to use a combination of voice chatting and email for colaboration.
