May she RIP.

I never heard about her, but people like her provide a great service to Nigerians in UK by importing our local foodstuff.

Like someone on twitter said: "GMB may be better than GEJ. GMB may turn out to be worse than GEJ. But GEJ will NEVER be better than GEJ."

We have seen what GEJ has to offer. Clearly. He will not and cannot improve on what he is. He's ineffective and apparantly clueless. He has failed to take a firm grip on security and our economy has worsened under him.

I believe in change. I dont like GMBuhari, but he's the only candidate who can defeat and remove GEJ.

I've decided to learn 2 programming languages this year. I learned VB6 and .NET between 2006 and 2008, but I've been AWOL on programming since then.

I'm looking at java, html5, php, or c++.

I know there are tons of free tutorial websites and ebooks out there.

But I'd like someone to recommend a good book or ebook or website. Used and trusted.

Many thanks.

According to her, her mum doesn't yet.. But what's with Ibos and tribe discrimination..? We are in the jet Age...

What's with *most Nigerians* and tribe discrimination...

Yes, we live in the Jet Age (or whatever way to describe this era of scientific advance) but humans always find ways to discriminate and segregate themselves. Be it by race, skin colour, gender, tribe, nation, religious belief, intellect, sexual preference, financial status, etc.

Life is rarely fair.

The marriage is between the man and the woman. Not their families. If they really want to be together, they should marry and learn to keep a safe distance from opposing relatives. Those relatives are not the one to build a marriage.

It's a tough choice, and not everyone can ignore family and do what they really want. But hey, life is rarely fair.

Neither one is the best for the job of Nigeria's president.
But GEJ has had the job for 4+ years and has not done a good job. He has to go.
There are better people to rule and serve Nigeria, like Fashola.
But as it is, GMB has the best chance of defeating GEJ.

dmainman and spacyzuma- does erasmus mundus scholarship cover courses in Engineering? eg well, reservoir or subsea engineering? i'm interested in either of these and not rural develpment as this offers.

Erasmus offers more than 30 schoalrships across many fields. Check here for their list of sponsored courses: http://eacea.ec.europa.eu/erasmus_mundus/results_compendia/selected_projects_action_1_master_courses_en.php

Erasmus Mundus scholarships are highly-rated and very good opportunities. I know several friends who have gotten them. I applied a few years ago, but wasn't successful.
One good thing about them is that they last for two years (usually), unlike british universities that last 1 year. Also, they are usually collaborative degrees between different european universities, so you get to travel around Europe.

ya u are welcome.

Although I just googled it, and that quote is attributed to Baron d'Holbach http://www.positiveatheism.org/hist/quotes/quote-h2.htm

godsgift233:
To understand via the heart is not
to understand.

A favorite of mine, in a similar vein
to the Seneca the Younger quote:
“If we go back to the beginning we
shall find that ignorance and fear
created the gods, that fancy
enthusiasm or deceit adorned them,
that weakness worships them, that
credulity preserves them, and that
custom respect and tyranny support
them in order to make the
blindness of men serve their own
interests".

I love, LOVE!, this statement! Thanks for sharing it.

Reiyvinn:
However, I'm even considering being a Pastafarian. I'd rather worship the Flying Spaghetti Monster than love a god that kills innocent children just to prove a point; I'm to humane for that! (fortunately, such a god only exists in books and minds, not in reality: i.e. A fairy-tale)

hahaha.

I'm agnostic, but I am kinda a fan of the Invisible Pink Unicorn: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Invisible_Pink_Unicorn
"Invisible Pink Unicorns are beings of great spiritual power. We know this because they are capable of being invisible and pink at the same time. Like all religions, the Faith of the Invisible Pink Unicorns is based upon both logic and faith. We have faith that they are pink; we logically know that they are invisible because we can't see them." — Steve Eley


I believe all religion is man-made. Created to explain the things in their environment that they did not understand. And somehow, some smarter people used religion and idea of all-powerful, invisible deities to control and manipulate people around them. And somehow, it got out of control.
I mean, I just had to research the history of Invisible Pink Unicorn, or Scientology, or Mormons (Latter Day Saints) or some Nigerian churches to realize this. One common factor is that they are all founded by one/few strong persons with larger-than-normal charisma with a lust/desire for power/control over other people.

This is gonna be interesting. I'm curious to read the rest of Reiyvinn's story.

May she RIP.

But she's not an isolated case. Every second, hundreds or thousands of people are dying worldwide. It's part of nature.
Many died on 31st December, some definitely died a few seconds to the New Year. Some died a few minutes into the New Year. Some people are dying as I type this. Some people will die as you read this.

OrangeDream:
Ok.. Thanks alot.. Pls, how can i get d Fifa 14??Is it up for download or i have to go and get d software, install on a system & push it to my fone?? Thanks once again

It's on the Google Play Store.

kimco:
it looks horrible on pc...blurry even...it runs gud becos it still has 2005 pc requirements. what pc are u using?

I use a Dell Inspiron 7000 series. 1TB, 8GB, 15.6", i7, NVIDIA 2GB graphics.
It runs the game smoothly, and only slows down if other memory-intensive programs (Firefox, Chrome, etc) are also open.

OrangeDream:
I'm sorry about that please.. When i say trash, i mean those argument coated with insult here.. To your question sir, its a Techno F6.. Kitkat 4.4.2.. Thanks

It's ok.

PES 2013-15 is not available on android. FIFA13 isn't either. But FIFA14 and FIFA 15 are available for android.

I used to play FIFA14 on my android tablet early last year, but I didn't enjoy it very much.

OrangeDream:
Pls, i'm not intrested in all dis childish argument and counter-argument.. I've been reading trash all through just in a bid to get answers to just one question. And that is,, CAN ANYONE PLEASE EDUCATE ME ON HOW I CAN GET PES 13 OR FIFA 13 ON MY SMARTFONE?? THANKS ALOT..

You didn't even drop your phone model or the OS.

And it's really not nice to say that people have been posting trash. If it doesn't matter to you, you could just ignore. That 'trash' matters to other people.

Spiro007:
