Remember we are planning on visiting Nigeria soon

So sorry.

Was he going to escape death if she had answered his calls.








For those asking me, yes I'm originally from Virginia live here in Dallas in TX with my fiancee Danny he is a Nigerian, he is an active member of this forum. He always LOL anytime he visit this forum, I joined yesterday afternoon and I made my first comment too, this morning I've done same again, and I'm first to comment.
For someone who claims to be a total foreigner, and to only have joined yesterday, you chose a rather interesting topic to make your first comment on didn't you?

https://www.nairaland.com/4404231/no-man-born-woman-stop#65938401

How could the utterances of a governorship aspirant possibly be of interest to a white american girl with no link to Nigeria other than her supposed boyfriend called Danny?

And you uploaded a picture too...a nice pretty picture if i might add. Motive?

I make no accusations but let the buyer beware!

So if the south -south rises up to ask to join cameroon, France has the right to invade Nigeria by proxy and take over.
and take-over where?

So long as the south-south people have decided to leave Nigeria to join Cameroon of their own volition, and France does not physically invade Nigeria with her own troops, then any support provided is perfectly fine.

But maybe you know something that i don't about international law... so you tell me, is there something wrong with it?

So the point is that Russia bullied Ukraine and took over their land unjustly.

Don't try to paint it otherwise.

Russia is as much an imperialist as the United States if not worse.
No, the point is that Crimea does not belong to Ukraine and therefore it is not their land. The people of Crimea decided to be part of Russia, exercising freewill and rose up to actually fight for this. The point i was making there is that this is accepted in international law, and Russia acted well within its political rights to interfere in this particular process.

CSTR2:
So if the south -South claim to be Cameroonian, Nigeria should just give it to them?

Your logic is faulty.
The person i quoted made it seem as though Russia acted unilaterally to claim Crimea whereas this is not the case.

The question of self determination is an international grey area and there is no legally proven solution. However in one case the International Court of Justice held that the right to self representation (and by default self determination) had an erga omnes character. I.e an absolute right which all states are bound to respect. As such, if the case goes to an international court, it is likely to be decided in favor of any true separatist movement.

The problem is simply the fact that these international courts lack any power to enforce decisions and rely on the political good faith of the parties to the case. As such, issues such as seccession come down to who has the more political clout as opposed to what is obtainable from the applicable laws.

So whatever you think is faulty in my logic os far from it.

....you know next to nothing about international happenens...what do you like about russia that is good.russia is the enemy of world peace.1st russia claimed half another country @ Ukraine, russia went ahead and bomb a passenger plan full of civilians about 175 of them,russia refused a tyrant leader in Syria to step down cuz they buy arm and a munitions from them,russia kills ppl's in disguise in the UK. twice now. Russian govt supported it's athlete to use drugs and do sports. I mean all kind of sports while they build a cover up for them..during world war two,russia connived with Hitler to take over Europe nd was shocked that Hitler had another plan to even topple russia..grow up.man and stop beleive in what u don't know...Russia is an even state!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Whatever you might say about Russia, Russia is no enemy of world peace.

1. Stop conflating distant history with the present since it is a fallacy to equate the Russia of nearly one century ago with the Russia of today.

2. Russia did not claim half of Ukraine. Half of Ukraine claimed Russia. Do well to truly understand the local politics before confusing yourself and others.

3. It is on record that Russia in recent history has always stood with the Pan African movement.

Which part do U like him for ? For using Russian nerve gas on British soil or for d eventual death of d double agent. Dat was wat triggered d whole diplomatic row. Britain first evicted all d Russian diplomats in d UK so what makes U think dey hadnt recalled their diplomats?
If they had recalled them, they couldn't very well be said to have been expelled could they? Have you heard anywhere on the news that Britain recalled her diplomats? Doesn't it occur to you that such would feature heavily in the news? Or you don't watch news?

In a properly constituted democracy the legislative wields much more power than the executive. This is because, while the president of the country is elected by its citizens, the office of the president is a function delegated and regulated by the legislature.

[quote author=PcashMojo post=65860620][/quote]Young man, its like you deliberately don't want to understand. PHP is not used for decoration, it is used for creating functionality and while i cannot at all claim to know PHP as such, if there is PHP present in a site it should reflect in the capability and functionality of that site. I am not talking about the code!

Maybe there is a backend with features such as user logins and stuff that we all can't see but then there is no reason to assume that there is.

So in simple terms, when you log on to the site, which of the functions there requires PHP?? Very few... so like i said at first there may be PHP but very little. And in any case the original point is that Wordpress is built on PHP and thus an exact replica of GTbank's website can be built on Wordpress.

You're actually very wrong.

What you see when you view a webpage's source code is what the webdev wants you to see. The logic that makes it all work cannot be seen through Ctrl U or whatever key combinations works for your OS or browser.

It's the code that is invisible to the end user that is the real source code. There's a world to Webdev or web design even that will completely consume you bro. Find your rhythm and stay with it.
I didn't mean that i made my comment based on what i saw when i inspected the code. I meant that when i looked at the page visually most of the elements i identified look like basic HTML, CSS and Javascript elements, and i inspected the code to confirm if i could match the elements i saw with the elements that were visible in the code. All i'm seeing are images, menus and nav. bars. The only obvious PHP element is the customer survey element.

What i am telling you is that i can recreate the homepage at least, using hmtl and css and a bit of javascript. And i can do it all in Wordpress. All i need are the images they used.

I have not said being able to code raw does not have its place, I am simply saying that Wordpress is the 20% that yields 80% of results.

I tend to disagree with the bolded! Remove the existence of "Themes" and "Plugins" from WordPress and wordpressers will become bare and useless as an a soldier stripped of his gun and ammo.
I said wordpress developers. There is a big difference between a wordpress designer and a wordpress developer. A developer is the kind of person who could build a theme or plugin if he needed to.

All in all, wordpress just makes sense. The average person who needs a website doesn't need a complex solution, they typically need a bit of html, css and javascript at most. And the comapnies who do need complex solutions are not likely to hire the average Nigerian developer, they are more likely to turn to India and Pakistan.

so why spend so much time learning complex coding when the bulk of your income will come from simple stuff?

[quote author=PcashMojo post=65858208][/quote]The main reason i said very little PHP is because looking at the elements on the website almost everything on there is eiter a html or css element. There are very few PHP elements.

The two people you mentioned don't even have their platforms (websites) running on the WordPress CMS. They were successful because of the term"Monopoly" just like Indomie Noodles.

See why I said you guys should be jailed! grin grin
you are the one to be jailed because you probably just started a web design course and suddenly you think you know your right from your left. Wordpress is by far more professional than and SMF is a very simple software to use. Rather like opening a Facebook group. His point was that complexity is not the true sign of effectiveness.

If a solution works, there is no need to reinvent the wheel.

You don't need to code from scratch to develop interactive top-notch websites. All you need is to be familiar with CSS, HTML 5 and PHP. No matter what happens, there will be a need to code one time or the other where plugins fail. Imagine given a job to develop a website like GTB website and you run to WordPress for plugins. Laughable!
It seems like you are not very knowledgeable about the whole thing. In the first place GTBank's website is a simple HTML, CSS and Javascript site. There is no php (or rather very little PHP), and i've just checked the source file.

Secondly, coding in HTML, CSS and PHP is the definition of coding from scratch so i don't know what you are trying to say.

Finally, true wordpress developers are proficient in all four languages (HTML, CSS, Javascript and PHP) and then they understand Wordpress. As we speak, over 27% of all websites worldwide are powered by Wordpress, including some of the world's biggest brands. This trend is only set to grow.

So continue mocking things you don't fully understand untill you find yourself snd your skillset (if you haave) completely obsolete.

Bunch of amateurs!

There are Web Developers...
there are Web Designers...
and there are "Wordpressers"

People who fall in the first category get the job done, people who are in the second are trying to catch up while people in the third should be JAILED!
If you are still billing clients hundreds of thousands simply because you want to code from scratch you are the one to be jailed!

Yes please.

What you will do is first heat up the oil for about 30 minutes... then prepare one kilogram of salt to be fried. Before you add it to the oil, sprinkle a cup of water into the pan with your face perpendicular to the pan at a distance of no more than 10 cm. Add salt and stir. You may also sprinkle with sugar.

You guys need to understand that the president of the ICC plays a very miniscule role in determining who comes to trial. That role belongs to one of: the office of the prosecutor; the UNSC; a state party to the ICC. The UNSC obviously being the most powerful since I can veto the process regardless of which of the three initiated it.
