What he received was completely different from what he ordered.

Switinthemiddle: Hello people... I noticed like two of this irritating bedbugs about two days ago and i thought it was just a coincidence as i happen to rear a dog as a pet... But i happened to spot like 4 others yesterday to my shock cause i happen to stay in a clean environment and i have read here about how people had to dispose of their entire furnitures because of these pests and i'm scared.
Please any info of how to totally clear them off my house.
Boil water..and pour it on d affected areas....it works perfectly than all these chemicals....hot water is one of d best solution, hot water also kills bed bugs eggs
So it happened that my dad sent me to one of his friends office to pick up a file and on getting there the man was not around so the secretary asked me to sit down on the sofa (my greatest undoing)
The man's office is a very big one so they have a separate visitors room where you can just relax while you wait for him. I sat down and slept off while waiting for him but woke up to a sting.
My first thought was maybe it was this normal mosquitoes that flies around so I did not read much to it then the man came attended to me and I went to give my dad his files. Note that I don't stay with my dad so immediately I dropped the file I excused myself and went home to my roomself contain on getting hoke I took off my cloth threw ot on the bed and went to take my shower (2nd mistake).
When I got back I picked up the clothes and put it in the basket unbeknownst to me I already have a foreigner in my room. After about 3 days I started noticing stings but this was different from the normal mosquitoes because I fleet my room at interval. One night it was so much that I had to wake up in the middle of the night to check that was when I stone of them on the wall, I killed it but then I begin to wonder how I got it there. To cut the story short I discovered that I got it from my dad's friend office the day they decided to dispose off the Cushine in that off due to bug and funmigate then it dawn on me where they came from.
Note that I used a lot of chemicals but they wouldn't leave, sniper ,DD force, baygon even kerosene but alas that said my time is over in that house. Immediately my rent was due I took very few cloths to the dry cleaner got rid of most of my household items by selling it off to get a new one and that was how I got rid of bed bugs.
Those things never die.
If you've ever experienced bed bug invasion share your experience and how you got rid of them.
D best solution is boil water and pour it on d affected spot...I ve used it and it is highly effective..hot water kills bed bugs and it's egg

TruthsFM: My Nairaland People, Between Opay Pos and Moniepoint Pos machine, Which is durable and easily to used without hindrance. Happy new year 2024.
I used the two...from experience If u Ve money get d opay traditional and d small moniepoint...
Both of them have advantages and disadvantages...but if u re just starting business...and u want only one...to b on a safer side...go for opay traditional
Y can't u go for the one u will get the spare part should in case it's faulty...my system spec is not up to this but when it had issue...I spend extra cost to get d part
Promicah: I performed a transaction at a Pos stand and it was declined but I was debited 2100. Immediately, I complained to the back because it's a stone throw from my residence. The customer care told me to check back in seven days that she has logged in my complaints.
After the d-day, I discovered it was not reversed. I called the customer care and I received the shocker of my life. They sent me a document which I will attach to this post that it was successful.
I went back to the post guy and narrated it to him and he said, "He didn't see any money reversed." I went back to the bank and was told they can't do anything that it was successful.
Please bankers and experienced nairalanders, what can I do to recover my 2100? I don't have any money with me and I was hoping for that money. Have I been scammed or what?
See the attached picture for clarification.
Good afternoon sir Nlf.pmod. Please help me post. I really need this money, sir. I want to know where it's coming from.
I Ve a pos outlet... sometimes it happens like that, failed from d POS and sucesful from bank...if truly it is sucesful from d bank..then ask the bank for d log code...then take it to d POS...on d POS machine the guy will apply for refund...then ur money will b refunded ...d POS agent did not steal ur Money

captaininiobong: Hy guys, I don't know if you have been in this, my woman that agreed to be the mother of my kids as stated by her recently stopped talking to me, picking my calls because she needed a 3million naira marriage.
I told her please why not we do moderate and use the remaining for investment. She said no. The three million is even small.
When I asked her what will we use the 3million to do, she said to buy furniture for the home. Uptill now she doesn't pick my calls, reply my chat if not that no be God showed her to me I would have deleted her number off my phone but am still keeping it for a reason I don't even know.
We have been together for long, not until a friend of mine got married and I told her they did thier marriage not less than 300k, then she said it's a big lie.
Oga..I for say u b big mumu..
God does not force anyone on us, he gave us d freedom of choice...if u see that u guys re not in agreement...u share d grace in fellowship

Bro, forget it...u will get a better lady that will appreciate what u Ve....
Don't go into debt because of any lady... better invest d money...some relationship won't lead to marriage...pls, don't b a SIMP
I wish I knew programming earlier, I won't Ve wasted my time after my National diploma trying to gain admission into university...cause Nigeria school is a Big scam
tensazangetsu20: Everyone that knows me off Nairaland knows I am a huge pessimist but when it comes to tech or the tech industry in general I am the greatest optimist you can find. I believe tech has the potential to change people's lives and it has done so. It is also the only industry that thrives on merit. No one cares what school you went to, what grades you had. What people care about is what you can do. You can't say the same about engineering or law or medicine.
I made this same thread last year and after working professionally for a while now, I believe there are some things that are important but I overlooked and I am making this again to guide the newbies on the right path. This thread is subjectively my own opinion but you can do your own research before picking up a path to stick to.
The focus on this thread will be on web development and the path to learning it right as I believe web development is the most profitable aspect of programming a Nigerian can get into. There are other fields but I don't know how profitable they are or how easy they are to break into.
If I was to start learning web development today in order to get a junior web dev role, I would start like this :
I would learn HTML. This is practically the easiest path and I believe absolutely everyone can learn this. After that, I would move to CSS. This is where the problem starts and by this level, people start to give up. I believe CSS is easy especially with the right course and I would always recommend Maximillian Schwarz CSS the complete guide course as that course made me not fear CSS. As you are learning these things, please build alongside. Dont just watch videos and sleep and think you have known them. Trust me you haven't known them at all. Implement the knowledge to cement it.
Once you are comfortable with CSS move on to Javascript. At this level, 80 percent of self-learners have given up. It's most people's first programming language and honestly, as a first language, javascript isn't easy. I also recommend the javascript course from Maximillian Schwarz. I still believe it's the best javascript course ever made and I still refer to it in my daily job as a developer.
Now this is where it gets tricky, I usually tell people to move on to React after Javascript, and rightly so but once you have learned javascript and you have found yourself to be very comfortable with it, start learning data structures and algorithms. I used to say this isnt important at all and was a waste of time but after working as a dev for more than a year, trust me I was just being very stupid. You cant even be a programmer without solid fundamentals in data structures. It doesn't matter whether you are a platform developer, a frontend developer, a backend developer, a WordPress developer or whatnot. You need your data structures and algorithms. It's like building a house on sand. Sooner or later it's gonna come collapsing. How do you even implement infinite scrolling in React without knowing graphs and how they work? Thats just one scenario. Double for loops in salesforce will break your org beyond proportions you cant imagine and a whole lot of other scenarios I cant even list out here which I have experienced for myself.
You don't need to spend 8 hours a day figuring out data structures and algorithms once comfortable with javascript. I recommend an hour or two a day. Learn the basic data structures (arrays, LinkedList, stacks, queues, graphs, trees) and the basic sort algorithms even if you don't understand it initially, cram it. Every day repeat what you have crammed then solve questions on leetcode easy to medium. No one will ask hard to a junior dev even medium is also very rare but just do it. Aside even learning data structures to be a better developer, its also the path to the very highly paid jobs. The earlier you learn them the better job hunting will go for you. Just imagine it like this, it takes you 4 months to be comfortable with javascript and you need like another 4 months for react, a platform and your projects and you are solving 1 to 2 dsa questions daily in the 4 months up to react. When ready to job hunt, count how many questions that is instead of waiting for when you have everything and you start job hunting to start learning it and you start failing interviews everywhere. The earlier the better even if you dont understand cram. Companies use the same questions which are available online.
Next is a javascript framework. I recommend React, I won't even advise my enemy to waste their time with vue but some will do it and still come online to cry. The react ecosystem is big and getting bigger. You have gatsby, you have blitzjs, you have Nextjs. Even in blockchain and web3 go and check most of the jobs require proficiency in React. Learn React !!! Enough said.
At this level, you should have your projects beautiful nice designs well created and implemented. Create a CV and start job hunting. Dont limit yourself to Nigeria. Apply everywhere. UK, US, Japan, Sweden. Tech transcends borders. Apply to jobs like a mad man.
At this job hunting stage, leetcode should be increased to at least 4 hours everyday and learning should still be done after React I recommend a platform. Same as my thread last year but most platform dev interviews are still algo based so no issue for you there.
You can also start looking at backend too but honestly if you have followed everything here, getting a job should be very easy.

Bro, abeg how did u pay on Udemy... I Ve tried both my master and Visa cards...it is showing failed
MaDaRa01: Good morning my fellow nairalanders.. I'm currently facing some emotional and psychological problems, and I don't know what to do again... Here's how it all happened, and the after effects... I'm the first born from my mom and dad, my sister came after 4 years, though she was born when I was staying with my dad cos dey disengaged for some reason, so my sister lives with my mom. I stayed with my dad most of my life not until recently I came to visit my mom (she already had another two kids for another man) Throughout my stay with dad, I only called and chat with my mom and sis and half siblings. Sometimes coming to spend a few days of Christmas with them. Recently I came back to stay for some month cos of my exams. And also to bond with my siblings. During my first three months, me and my sister have bonded to the extent that we are always together, strolling around together, sometime eating from the same plate. Anywhere you see me you'd see my sister. Her friends and others that didn't know me at first thought I was her boyfriend. It continues like that till this Monday, few days ago, she did sthing wrong that really angered me and I tried correcting her as the elder brother, I beat her up, I really beat her up, even went as far as kicking her in the stomach. You know if you are really angry you do things without thinking about the consequences. Not until I calmed down that I knew i had gone to much, ordinary scolding should have been okay. Since then she started hating me Even my other siblings stop relating well with me, I became a stranger in my mother house. But at first I thought nothing about it,i didn't even swallow my pride to apologize and make up with my sister. my mom asked about the matter I just told her to forget it that I have exams to write I don't need disturbance. Then the worse started to happen, two days later I began to feel it, more like a heartbreak that comes days after you breakup with your girlfriend. I started feeling. Lonely, depressed an physiologically unstable... It feel like I had broken up with my girlfriend of 5 years? I can't stop thinking about my sister, anytime I hear I name or even see her around the house, my heart won't be at peace. Boom!!! I started getting jealous anytime she's interacting with male friends in the neighborhood, I always feel like who are they to be talking with my sister, some how like they are snatching my girlfriend. I almost got into a fight with a guy because of this... My emotions became unstable, I don't want to see any girl Apart from my sister.. I then called my dad and just opened up to him, he called my sister and though she said nothing is wrong with us, just siblings occasional quarrel, but deep down I know it's something else and I can't explain it. One of my close friends said it's infatuation. Others said it's lust, but I don't have any sexual feeling, to her before and during this issue.
Up to the psychologist and therapist in NL. kindly advise me on what to do, if not for my exam I would have gone back, but every single day I keep spending here is only worsening it
You guys come to my aid.
lalasticlalala fp please
Ha...how can u ve deep feeling for ur Sister? U need Jesus...ur sister is ur blood...d love u ve for ur parents should b extended to ur sis.. nothing more...
You sincerely do not need the services of a travel agent to apply for a UK visa as the UK immigration process is pretty straightforward. Take your time and read this thread https://www.nairaland.com/5233246/general-uk-visa-enquiries-part you will get all the answers you seek.
Goodluck sir.
Great job man, pls with the new immigration policy coming up next year.., will it be easier for people that ve skills to enter UK through tier 2 visa, especially areas that re called shortage skill. e.g programmer, I want to apply for this tier two visa next year.., I don't know if the post Brexit will affect tier 2 visa.
[quote author=Jayrockk post=94025189]UK is a good place but the cost of living is high and most cases when one is done with his/her program they toss u out. For me Canada is better but since you're in the IT route u should consider Germany, tons of opportunities there. Goodluck chale[/quote
I think Germany is hard now, especially for Nigerians... pls is their a better way??
niceadebola: Hello People, Please I am about to choose between Canada(Express Entry) and going for my masters in the UK. I have only got my school fees of about 10,000 pounds. This means I would have to hustle for my feeding, accommodation and other basic needs. I want to enrol for M.Sc in data science and I have over 5 years of experience in the IT industry. Now, my questions are: 1. How easy is it for me to get student job (could be any kind of job just to survive) 2. Cheap cities with easy of getting student jobs 3. Prospect of getting job after M.Sc in Data Science 4. Getting Job in the UK vs Canada
Many thanks
pls, someone should pls help...I'm also in the same dilemma, same age range, but not yet married....considering the fact that express entry is good for people below d age of 30 years
Henrymorre: don't mind this fellow. Amd is the leading cpu now. Any Core i3 or i5 out there, you will see a faster and better AMD than it at a cheaper price. Be guided.
pls, don't confuse the guy...u can't get d new version of AMD system for that price range... the cheap AMD system re not meant for programming...
it is better for him to settle for core i3 or core i5 as LordPherule said.... I used d former AMD system and I can categorically tell u that it is not good for programming...
To get d new Version of ÀMD system u will ve a budget of 150k+ for fairly used...
Those AMD system of 60-90k re not meant for programming..
Richdee1: UPDATE!!!!! AIPP ends on 31/12/2021. That's the last day to submit your PR application through AIPP. Wo, if you start school in September your spouse would had gained 12 months experience by October 2021. Na sense chicken dey take chop corn o

martin1772: Good afternoon everyone. Please I want to know the difference between AMD and Intel processor and which one is the best.
There are different types of AMD System... 1. the low end Amd system that get hot... it is mainly use for office work, I used one last two years, hp 15.... u can get a new one for less than 100k... 2. The advance AMD system...,which is a gaming system,... it works on heavy graphics... u can't get this type of system for anything less than 250k
for d Intel processor, which is common, is far far better than the low AMD system....
getting a system depends on ur pocket and what u really want it for... i
