Naija men. . . you can't live with them and you can't kill them coz you'll get your behind thrown in jail for it which makes you angrier coz they are already dead and you can't kill 'em again for getting you thrown in jail for killing 'em in the first place.

So how does this work? Do we give 'em some privacy[i] ^{*wink wink*}[/i] or are we allowed to play peeping Toms.

Zimbabweans play the zero game


Quadrillion, quintillion, sextillion - crazy numbers with lots of zeros, that independent Zimbabwean economist John Robertson found himself chewing over with colleagues in the capital Harare this week.


The financial throes of the country are now so severe, that some people are seeking a new language to understand it.

On Monday, the Zimbabwe government introduced the 100 billion Zimbabwe dollar note (for the uninitiated, a billion is nine zeros).

The counting of zeros had already become a nightmare for bankers and shoppers before the introduction of the new note - which at the time of writing would buy about two loaves of bread.

So far this year, the country ravaged by hyperinflation has been forced to print 100-million, 250-million and 500-million notes in rapid succession. All of them are now almost worthless.

It has become common now for Zimbabweans to talk of their daily expenses in trillions (one trillion is 12 zeros).

When John Robertson pinned a chart to the wall of office naming numbers up to twice as long, he says he "raised a bit of a laugh" from his colleagues.

But for many officials and accountants, a quadrillion - a million billion - is the number of the day.


BIG NUMBERS
Quadrillion: 15 zeros
Quintillion: 18 zeros
Sextillion: 21 zeros
Septillion 24 zeros

This formulation is from the widely-used US system

Only last week, the Harare Herald advertised the Lotto bonanza prize being offered was 1.2 quadrillion Zimbabwean dollars. At the time, that was equivalent to around 4,000 US dollars.

So how do Zimbabweans deal with such astronomical numbers?

"I actually Googled what comes after trillion about a month ago, and sent that out to all my friends so they'd be prepared," says 28-year-old Esther, a Harare resident who writes a regular diary for the BBC.

Day-to-day transactions for ordinary people have not reached the quadrillion stage, she says, but even trillions present difficulties.

"What is confusing is counting of the figures on your cheques as you try to make sure you are not under or over paying someone, or the struggling to read price tags in shops that have not yet knocked off zeros and so on," she says.

Hard currency

This practice - knocking off zeros - is the most common way of preserving sanity.

Most calculators simply cannot show enough digits.


Tills throughout the country have been struggling to cope, as have banking computers, and accounting systems.

As a result, the banks recently agreed to lop six zeros off transactions and documentation.

Economist John Robertson predicts that within a month they will be forced to drop another three.

The other main technique for keeping zeros under control, is to think in terms of a hard currency - in this case, US dollars.

It would be against the law to advertise your house in US dollars, Mr Robertson says, but in practice this is the currency used for big purchases.

"Nothing would be written down and on the day of exchange, that figure would either be paid in US dollars, or converted into Zimbabwe dollars. Then you would be talking big numbers - which will take a bit of getting used to."

While Zimbabwe is the only country currently suffering from hyperinflation its economic woes are not unprecedented.

Bundles of cash

History has shown that in countries experiencing hyperinflation - characterised by a monthly inflation of more than 50% - the central bank often prints money in larger and larger denominations as the smaller denomination notes become worthless.


Beyond a million it all becomes a blur
Marcus du Sautoy, Maths professor

In Yugoslavia, for example, the rate of inflation was five quadrillion per cent between October 1993 and January 1994. The government was forced to issue a 500 billion dinar note in 1993.

In Germany after World War I, prices were doubling about every two days and workers were paid daily or more often with bundles of cash. The highest value banknote issued by the Reichsbank had a face value of 100 trillion marks.

Marcus du Sautoy, professor of mathematics at the University of Oxford, says in general people are very bad at assessing numbers of this size.

"Beyond a million it all becomes a blur," he says.

"People are really looking for the ratio of one product to another, and then it's irrelevant how many zeros there are at the end of the number," he says.

If shops and banks don't drop the zeros, it's done instead by the human brain.

He is asking how to change a domain name on window 2003 server.

Abi, am I missing something?

@ Topic
Oko Iyawo, next time let your hands do the walking ^{not working oh} (and I don’t mean what you are thinking you naughty, naughty perv ) and remember, Google is your friend.

Changing Domain Name
To change a computer's Domain Name System (DNS) server or servers from the command line, type: regfind -p HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\parameters "old DNS value" -r "new DNS value(s)"

Where old DNS value is the value the server currently has, and new DNS value(s) is the new value you want to use. The format is dotted decimal notation.


General Extensions

Please follow the instructions below to change your Domain Name System Server (DNS Server).

Simply log into Account Manager™ using your username and password and select the domain name for which you wish to change DNS Servers. You will need to be prepared with the names of the DNS Servers that you would like to list as authoritative for your domain name - information typically provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), Web hosting company or network administrator. Registrants of .org domain names should note that the Registry requires two unique DNS Servers for the address to function properly.

Under the heading "DOMAIN NAME SYSTEM SERVERS (DNS SERVERS)" enter the DNS Servers your Web hosting company or ISP have provided and click the Continue button. When the confirmation page appears, click Continue again and the DNS Server change will be implemented.

Please Note: DNS Server changes take between 12 to 24 hours for .com and .net, and between 24 and 72 hours (standard Internet propagation time) for all other general extensions for the update to be completed globally.

If you have any problems editing your DNS Server information, please contact our Customer Support department using the 'Ask Us A Question' tab above. One of our representatives will be happy to assist you.

@ Lucabrasi
I started typing a response to you but then I thought to myself. . . Nah, forget it, there's something there that no matter what I do, it won't hit the right target. So I'm done.

Next time I'll make sure I have a pen and paper handy to jot all the words you use in your posts so I avoid them in mine . . . wouldn't want you thinking something sinister was amiss.

Pardon me, I forgot to pepper my post with smilies

PLol. You ain't feena take me nowhere, huh? No mind me, trouble follows everywhere I go about this forum so I no fit blame you. In actuality I don't like to command too much attention.

The name . . what was in the name? Here's to hoping it wasn't just emblazoned in your mind.

About the last one, I guess you can say it's a type of authoritarian personality that promotes rigid thinking. Don't mind people. They can be so silly sometimes. Snaps! What do they call those people who say one thing but mean the other?

Huh hun, that's what they all say. . . "I'm a gentleman oh, I'm not a fighter" Puh-Lease!

Re: The Name
I thought I read something somewhere but I musta read wrong. By the way this. . . I thought you were of Igbo descent too . . . saw the Ce Ce in your name and was like " shoot I think my chances just increased two-fold". Whatsthatmean?

lucabrasi:
it will do well for you to read my comments before jumping to conclusions,nowhere did i say regina askia was a better actress than genevieve,what i said was that genevieve should chill out because regina askia was more popular than she was when she was at the top of her game and nowhere to be found,personally and this is my own view,after joke sylva and olu jacobs,segun arinze the rest are jkers as far as im concerned

You are joking right? I mean there's got to be a punchine here. . . somewhere and I'm just missing it coz no where in my post did I refer to you or object to anything you wrote. I saw Regina Askia's name being thrown around and since I've never thought she was a good actress, I gave my opinion. Soooo why on earth would you think I'm referring to you?

My God! the ego on you man. . . is astonishing!

You need to do us all a favor and take a chill pill, Seriously. There is no conspiracy, nobody is out to "get" you and more importantly, Nairaland world does not revolve around you.

[quote author=fresh-B link=topic=153491.msg2544375#msg2544375 date=1216779595]Please do compare and contrast how lovely her "My Redeemer Liveth" in Nkwa praise part 1D in you-tube when she used to sing alone from the inside of her belly and the following ones where she picked her man; as captioned in you-tube " Idi Ebube Jehovah", Onwu Ike Abughi My Portion (where they husband nearly grabbed her boobs) and Egwu Chukwu N'atu m[/quote]NEARLY is the operative word here, no? So there a slight chance is was slip of hand? From what I saw, they were both dancing and raising their hand in the air. Again, I find it highly unlikely handling her breast. . excuse me, nearly fondly her breast was deliberate but hey, maybe I'm just slow and I need things to be broken down for me crayola style like. . . real, no doubt in anyone's mind touching, smooching and kissing before believing.

I watched the video and I didn't see kissing and smooching. The only thing close to anything was husband touching wife's face. Is that a sin now??!

If that is the thing making OP have carnal thoughts, then the problem is not with the singers but with 

[quote author=fresh-B link=topic=153491.msg2544299#msg2544299 date=1216775363]Thanks to you-tube- i have enjoyed some of our Nigerian gospel songs from there especially the traditional praise (eg Chioma Jesus by Sis Amaka Okwuoha) and war (eg Prince Gozie Okeke's) songs. Infact I liked them that I have placed my orders on them.

Whoever knows these musians and their likes should ask them to do more not forgetting Benin singers as well as others i may not have heard of.

As you commend them for praising God in our cultural way do advice (with love and respect) Mrs and Mr Njideka Okeke of Akanchawa (spelling error maybe) to stop mixing gospel songs with secular kissing and smooching. This un-African and un-Christian dance sends a contrasting message to viewers both adult and underage wholly equivocating the message. Imagine what picture and thoughts you will uncontrollably have when when you try to sing Mrs Njideka's after watching such smooches[/quote]Please show us the videos so we can see the kissing and smooching ourselves. I find it very difficult to believe something like that wll be added to a Christian Song.

Is it the parents who are showing off their American Accents with[i] worra, borrul, lirrule, whereuwet, compura, blezzing[/i] in their Bugle Boy Jeans, who will teach the Children Yoruba? Aren't we asking a lot here? I say send the kids AND the parents back to Nigeria to go learn culture.


For those who don't speak Yorubanized English with American Accent,

Worra - Water
Borrul - Bottle
Lirrule - Little
Whereuwet - where you at
Compura - Computer
Blezzing - Blessing.

Never liked her, don't like her now, doubt I'll ever like her. However, I support her 110% here. She might not be a household name out Africa and Europe but she's still popular in her own right. She has a right to choose if she wants to work for a "Hollywood" producer/stalker.

It's amazing how people think because they can burn movies on from the internet on a DVD, It automatically makes them "Producers" and if the computer they are burning from just happens to be located in the US, forgetaboutit. . .  Hollywood Producers at your service.  It's left for the rest of us to start bending down and worshiping.

By the by, Regina Askia or Askai or Askew or however you spell it. . . good actress? In which reality?

For me it's
Kate Henshaw
Ego Boyo
Stella Damasus-Aboderin (when she's not talking with her eyes like a babydoll and the light from the camera is not making her sweat and she is not wearing nightgown with the bra showing ^{who goes to bed with their bra on?} and she is not crying)
Last on my list is that light skinned girl who is always crying. . . I mean always crying like every other scene, she has really long hair.

All others are counterfeit.

Exactly my sentiments
If you go into every relationship with the aim of getting married, what happens when you see that u're not made for each other?
This we must marry mentality is the reason why people commit suicides after break-ups

Abso-freaking-lutely!!

And if they don't take the easy way out by commiting suicide, they will talk your ears out, blubbering all over the place about how they'll never love again, how he/she was the one. . . the fact that he/she just got dumped by the one does not register about him/her not being. . . you know the one. And just when you are almost "There, There"-ed out, they meet someone else and the whole freaking process starts all over again.

Jeebus! Shoot me!

Question - Why The General Believe That Relationship Should Last Forever?

The Answer you seek my friend, can be found in the pages. . . last pages of these books.

1) Cinderella
2) Sleeping Beauty
3) Rapunzel
4) Beauty and The Beast
5) Snow White
6) The Enchanted Maiden

. . . . . All end with ^{*say it with me*} "And they lived happily ever after"

Our Generation is already a lost cause but we can save the future generation from this archaic mentality by BANNING ALL FAIRY TALES WITH THE HAPPILY EVER AFTER endings.

At Bed Time with your kids, substitute

Cinderella with Child Possessed.

Sleeping Beauty with The beast Within - Why Men are Violent.

Rapunzel with Homicide: A Sourcebook of Social Research

Beauty and The Beast with Till Death Do Us Part: Love, Marriage, and the Mind of the Killer Spouse

Snow White with Heart Full of Lies A True Story of Desire and Death

Sure they will be scared to bits, sure they'll have nightmares, will probably never marry and if they do, they'll get their gun license the same day they get their marriage licence, kiss their husbands goodnight and immediately cock their guns but I ask you. . . isn't that better than having their heads filled with bed of roses and believing crap about One True love and Happy Ever after? I dare say it is.

@ HCH3COO
*Sigh*

I can't take you nowhere.

On another note, I could have sworn you were Ibo. . . I guess it's because of the name.

Now I'm talking like you couldn't just be multi-lingual. What do they call them again. . . people who think the world see things the same way they do?
