It's very easy to blame the bank for all these, but the bank may not be the culprit.
There are different layer of institutions and processes involved in financial transactions and the bank is part of the cycle. It can be a complex web depending on the transaction.

There are switching companies like Interswitch, Chams, Unified Payments and ETranzact and NIBSS that are involved but many are not aware of these companies. The telcos play their role as well as payment networks.

These issues reminds me of the battle between programmers and Engineers many years ago when programmers would blame the systems and network while the Engineers would blame the applications for failure. We've passed that stage now.

Every system or app have a limit and in distress they all failed. Apple have over 200 billion USD in the bank but their website often crash during preorders. Same with Samsung. If you don't understand how these things work, it's easy to throw blames.

I would blame the CBN in all of this and I guess you know why. Their policy lacked technical analysis.

Biko don't waste comparison , apple is global when Nigeria interbank is mainly for Nigerians and they failed

Linux sucks on DE

I'm gonna stick to bsd & windows

Linux is os for people that know what they want

It is only you know what low end PC u are force over weight os on download Lubuntu

Wity time, it will improve to the point where it becomes a risk to programmers. As for video editors and graphic designers, forget it.
It will even make their jobs easier. AI cannot read people's mind to know exactly what they want when editing is concerned. It can only get close to what they want.

Read my post again incase you missed where I said if only you know what programming is

1Alex:
It has been evaluated and found out that AI will not replace any job but those with the knowledge of AI will replace those without the knowledge.

You are on point

I normally laugh when I see people say that Ai will replace programming jobs or programmers

I have tested the two main Ai now bing and chatgpt

In fact this tools required that u know what you are doing to be able to make code they generate work

For example I searched how to use web3modal with vanilla Js

Every code this step produce did not work until I followed one of the links that Bing listed then I was able to find a code that almost closer to work then I have to come back and query what every functions and classes do

Before I was able to put up together code that actually works

I think those tools will help programmers but not replace them

The people their work is at risk is video creators and photo designers , Content creators , mock up designers and few of them programmers are not affected unless you don't know what programming is all about

U don't tell a programmer how many minutes or amount it will cost , if u are not in contact with who build the script then it means it will take more time to fix

System design for failure of bvqs and irev

And bad ui/ux implemention for staff been unable to use it device like this is always super simple to operate

truthCoder:
I am not privy to the any of the process design for the BVAS so my comments would strictly be my opinions as a programmer.

First, it is clear that there was either a shoddy design process or an intentional fraud or a mix of both.

There are 100k+ BVAS systems all connected to servers to fetch biometrics, validate data and upload images of a potential 93 million voters all within the space of 10 hours with pick demand at the image upload and results submission window which starts from 4pm.

At a potential 781 voters per machine, this approximates to 78 voters per hour or one voter per minute ON ALL MACHINES at the same time.

A redundancy design of 100 users per hour is fair. If each user requires say 1mb download of validation data and another 1mb of upload, this implies a bandwidth demand of at least 100mb/100mb per machine per hour or 1gib per machine.

Each machine would also require at least 5mb to upload the result page and results at the end of the day. 5mb from 100k machines is 500Gib of data hitting the servers at peak time in the evening, separate from the 100,000 Gib overall on election day.

This is a whole lot of data demand.

Now to my first assumption as regards incompetence, it would be absurd if the developers did not envisage such a demand and designed for a lower scale. This assumption falls flat because the bulk of the data transmission (the 100k) went ahead without reported hitches across the country. People were able to validate and vote. So lack of capacity should be ruled out, despite the volume of data.

Could there have been an inefficient code that slowed down process after hitting a load when then timed out other processes? If this was the case, then the incompetence of the CTO comes to bear. A load test on the servers would have revealed such prior to the D-day.

My second assumption is that there was an intentional fraud. The main problem on election day was the inability to upload the presidential results. The other elections uploaded successfully.

As a programmer, following the DRY principle, i would not code upload codes separately for the presidential and senate elections. I would only provide different endpoints for the same factory.
So it is safe to assume that the presidential election upload endpoints caused the whole drama.

So, a suspension of the presidential election upload endpoint permissions by a root access user (or another privileged user) could have sabotaged the elections.

In a well designed system, this fraud could be discovered via a review of the stream logs. If LP and other aggrieved parties in the election could get their hands on the codes, they should be able to see who and when this was done. However, i am doubtful if the assumed criminal would be dumb enough to leave footprints.

Now as regards INEC’s recent claim that they need to wipe systems. I am bold to declare that the statement is an attempt to cover up the fraud.

In the 12- Factor App design methodology, every good developer should know that a server should have no state. You store nothing on a server. A server simply collects inputs from the users, fetches data from the database and returns data to the user or store inputs or processes into databases.

Except they want to wipe their databases or caches which is absurd and suspicious, there is nothing to hide. There should be enough storage to hold all our election data. Afterall, INEC had an open cheque from the national budget.

One thing i would like to add is that all the transaction logs for the election must be provided for review. Let forensic experts go through the logs to understand what happened.

For future elections, i would suggest a blockchain based transaction model.

Cheers

Which validation cost 1mb to process , inec is corrupted simple

With amount spent on the useless technology
The creator speculated all this scenarios na inec just rigged and planing to clear evidence

A programmer with sense will always solve and even solve unseen problems Like this

Nothing like failure on this technology inec just have back door

Even programmers on this forum will come up with a better technology that will cost less and will not fail , it is high time we stop using foreign technology on a national matters

Imagine a bvas that determines who rules that no single person can give details or how it how's and then kind of encryption and how hackproof it is

Shame to inec and the people that want to run this country down

God bless nigeria

yes best thing to do

something around 1.5 to 5m depending on location , experts and features and techology u plan to use

Omor for years now I stick with my vanilla css and w3.css

I love lightweight stuff maybe it was because of my c language background but

Bloomsbury:
I think your best bet is to go to freelance services like upwork or Fiverr and search for Nigeria developers with track record of building for client that gave them good reviews and have done lots of similar projects.

Using this method, you will get a good developer who is trust worthy to deliver and you are safe with your funds in case anything goes wrong cos those freelance plaforms have escrow services to protect people hiring developers.

But all the best looking for a competent developer here.

competent programmers dey here just the people that are hiring are just wicked with pricing imagine asking a programmer to do marketplace website for 30k and some screenshot of other three promised to do it for 25k or less

DMCA:
People still the use codeigniter ?

yes web development is not about framework when u know what u are doing u can go with any tools that makes it easier and fast for u to deliver the final product

i can clone the interface for u and port it to any script u might be using

hello everyone
make i just go straight to the point

nodejs , reactjs and etc

there is this one feature that i cant remember which framework normally have it sha i saw it in a website posted on this forum last year
this feature was pwa but on another level

the website was dynamic and yet the only time the browser load new page is after registration and login apart from that , post anything ,or do anything on the website it stays on the one page ,

i know some of you will come to shout blah blah

i know how to do regular pwa and e get some limitations to kind of stuff u can do with it

now i took the challenge to replicate that with php CI4

omor it wasnt easy sha but at last i had something nice and working
security level i cant really give assurance on that but be able to replicate with php framework was fun

Anaconda is a runtime for python, right? And people don’t learn anaconda but python, right? But why then do people learn nodejs ? They should just learn javascript and be able to write nodejs applications.

see brother , brother wey mumu

stop smoking kpai before u open nairaland
nodejs is not a language
if u know ur onions well everything that claim to be node js blah blah u can run it in a vanilla js
python is languages but nodejs and php are not

the template or the script which one

the script is Gold coders

Why would anyone want to validate emails from the backend? Unless for educational purposes, all data are being validated at the frontend to save time

First rule of web development never trust an input from a user

Unless you are coding for yourself , always validate every input at backend else ....,

When u posted MacBook I know will seriously have a hard time picking up with any language

Obviously na yahoo boys motivates you to start programming

tech and food are not same

anybody can do food but tech is not for everybody all seun should do for us in programming sevtion is the ability for us to paste code thats all

what happens in programming section stays in programming section
