Wow, makes die sense.

My future research project is transmitting data and monitoring object positions via the use of light streams and this article just proves helpful

Itstyme: Please guys am having problems paying for my application online. Anyone else facing this same problem? Advise please on how else to go about it. Declined two different cards already.

whats the error report?
which gateway did you select?

Ishsoph: Deny her claims (accusation) make I hear

i deny am

I know u're doing this to sway softsparkyy away from me

jpphilips: Funny hw people say our right, our land, what belongs to them, lol, I propose mental profiling for this poster I quoted and his likes, anyone with his IQ or below should be sacrifised to which ever deity is interested.

Errm, oga jpphilips, you don't have to insult me. Maybe you really need to be schooled.
I am a Nigerian, and the Nigerian law clearly states what my rights as a citizen is.

These rights include, but not limited to, Right to life, Right of Liberty, Right to fair Hearing, Right of Association, Right to own a property, Right to religion of choice and conscience, Equality before the law, Freedom from Discrimination, A suspect is assumed to be innocent until Pronounced guilty by Court of Law, Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Movement, Freedom of Assembly.

Now Mr. jpphilips, if the current state of administration cannot accord to me these my rights, what am i to do?
Stand and watch my loved ones to die?

Well, i guess people of your IQ and above could answer that for me.

But then, how can you when your intelligence could not fathom the meaning of rights.

Mr blogger, is your blog link your source?
Or did you just get pictures online and cook up stories, AS USUAL

krall: its the same as being ON the train. Just that you can't see outside.

It is not the same. Air/wind has weight. A train (and it's content) moving at 450mph is breaking the opposing velocity of the wind, friction between particles of various kind and gravitational force

[size=18pt]The Video is fake[/size].
The size of the signboard in relative to the perspective when the bus is coming and branching off is not real. It easily gives it away. The signboard is also too white and the text, too sharp in relative to the distance between the bus and the camera.

Definitely, it was not done by the FG. Probably, it was done by Nigerians in London who support him

However, even if it was real, it is not a new thing in politics. In the west, companies and individuals sponsor campaigns for politicians.

Look at how a 3 hour shady job has corrupted your minds and brought out the worst in you. Now imagine what the media has been doing to you all these while. Now ask yourselves, "shouldn't i be ashamed of myself. Shouldn't I be ashamed that i can show nothing for my education"

Say no to ignorance. Get educated Nigerians

Now ponder on the picture below

masqot: Pls, go to Kano today 27th July, 2014. Three bomb incidents occurred between 9am and 4.30 pm. Those might interest you if you're seriously looking for near-war video. I ran for dear life then. My friends that carried guns then did not live to tell this story I'm telling you today.
God bless Nigeria.

If we run from our problems, who will solve them for us.
You don't want war but you want people to join the army and for the army to fight against insurgents.

If there comes an invasion from outside recognized forces, you'll still run.
When then will you fight for your right.

This is simple, we do not want peace, we want equal right and justice. If you cannot give it to us, then let us go our own way.
How is that beating the drums of war?


Long live Biafra
Long live Arewaland
Long live Oduastates

While you're thinking on this. Digest this too

spikesC: What is peace:
Peace is an occurrence of harmony characterized by lack of violence, conflict behaviors and the freedom from fear of violence. Commonly understood as the absence of hostility and retribution, peace also suggests sincere attempts at reconciliation, the existence of healthy or newly healed interpersonal or international relationships, prosperity in matters of social or economic welfare, the establishment of equality, and a working political order that serves the true interests of all.

wikipedia


Do we have peace:
Depends, i say no. If you say yes, then that peace is what i do not want.
We do not want that peace, we want equal right and justice.

How do we seek for peace then:
We go into dialog and general acceptance. Accord each other equal rights and justice.

If that doesn't work:
We go our separate ways.

But we don't want you to go, we want you to share the same peace we have to offer:
No, we want freedom

How do you get freedom:
We fight for it.

But freedom is not free, it comes with the highest of cost, the cost of blood:
It is better to die fighting for freedom than to live life in chains


Let him who have ear, hear. The war is already here.
If you can watch your people die every blessed day for the sake of THIS peace, I, cannot.

What is happening in Rwanda, Sudan etc. are already happening here.
So stop looking afar, it is at your door steps.
It is tribal wars, and it is never declared till the oppressed retaliate.

Long live Biafra
Long live Odua states
Long live Arewaland

masqot: Bros, I don't pray to see more. I don't have to experience it to feel it. That's why there's need for peace and solution. You don't cut off the head because the hair has grown tall. I raised other issues in that write-up. Did you read it? Did you see those pictures OP posted? Have you watched MACHINE GUN PREACHER? Which is a true story of war in Sudan? I'm not here to throw tantrums. Think about those that loves you and those you love.
My comment closed

I do not understand why you think i was trying to attack you. I just asked a question which everyone has been avoiding.

I am not supporting war, but i would be very myopic if i do not recognize and accept that war is already here.
You people are saying no one should start a war, but could not realize that we have been fighting war in Nigeria since time immemorial.

Your efforts are totally misdirected as it should be how to stop the war going on already.

The pictures OP posted is nothing. If you see and experience what is going on the North and the rural communities, then you'll really understand what am saying.

Our loved ones are already dying, what other kind of war death are you looking for before you accept that there is war in Nigeria?

denass16: No I haven't submitted my passport and supporting docs. That is done at VFS, right? That is d stage I am. I went there on friday to have my biometrics captured, submit my passport, printed app and other supporting docs. That is where my passport was rejected because of a colouration caused by moisture at the lower part of my photograpah.

Well, here is my advise. The reality here is that you must get a new passport, and doing it now would take away future headaches.
So, if possible, call UKVI on Wednesday morning and lay out your problem, JUST TO GET THEIR OPINION.

Go to immigration office afterwards and get a new passport. You'll definitely get it the same day.
Call your school and lay out the issue so that they would update your CAS or issue you a letter, notifying the UKBA that they're aware of the issue.

I know ATAS takes so much time, but you can actually try to update it or just leave it as is.

While submitting your application and biometrics, write a letter informing the UKBA of the issue and state both of your passport numbers, clearly indicating to them the new one that they should stamp.

Submit both passports with your application

BTW, 22nd September is enough time as you still have almost 2months

emmyvet: well i learn the basics of Qbasic, Python ,html on my own but at a time I get paused and boring with it, perhaps seeing the difficult aspect of it, thats why am seeking for a tutor shaa.
I dont like the procedure of the Afrihub own because the dont admit all the time you go.
I will check out Digital dreams own.
but will like to get more contacts in Enugu.
Thank you!

Why do you want to transfer to Java when you haven't finished python?
I would advise you complete python,being ur first language, do a few projects on it, then move to Java as you wish

You are a programmer, you should have mastered the art of learning on your own with all the resources available online

Nevertheless, i know of Afrihub in UNEC and Digital dreams at Otigba junction, exactly at the building beside 8 hours

If you don't want your character to change so as to build a mutual and understanding relationship, then your relationship status should also remain unchanged

ejibaba: Based on what you have said...A situation where at the end of the day you get only your contribution and no other benefit what does that makes you??...It is only contract staff that leaves without any benefit. what makes you a staff of an organisation if at the end of your working time with them you leave without a benefit? Just the compulsory contribution that is even partly your income...I bet you if the scheme had not been compulsory they won't even give you...I spread no falsehood cause you just confirmed that it is truth I just said only that you have decided to give it your meaning to suit your pride when exactly the initiator of the idea are way smarter than you and deliberately designed it aimed at achieving their selfish interest.

What are you really on about?
This is a Nigerian law and you're bringing sentiment into it.

The bank paid off gratuities so as to transit into the new pension scheme, what is wrong with that?
Didn't they pay?

And no, they are not called contract staffs. Stop spreading false rumor

This new pension scheme is contributory, fully funded, privately managed, third party custody of the funds and assets and based on individual accounts. It ensures that everyone who has worked receives his/her retirement benefits as and when due.

Do your research and stop living in ignorance

denass16: No, it is not rejected. However, the visa appliction has already been done with my passport no. I presume a new one will have a different no. and which means the CAS, ATAS, TB cert, admission letter I will submit as supporting docs will all carry a different no. I am meant to leave before 22 sep. with obviously no time to get all those for the new passport (if it is even possible)

P.S. the 'supervisor' at the Abuja office was so unfriendly she offered no possible solution. In fact when i went to explain my situation to her after being referred by a lady on the counter, she responded without even looking at my passport (which i had displayed when i was explaining)

You're confusing me a bit. You have applied for VISA, but have you completed the application by submitting your docs and biometrics?

If you have, and then UKVI sent back your passport and asked for a new one, then you do not need to update the docs with the new passport number.
You can do that later with your school.

Ishsoph: O di mma bro

Yes I know, although Chioma called you a chronic liar when I told her about your V status and said to ask whether you remember the purple lingerie.

you and this ur chioma. Why are u always imposing me to your concubines

millionaireman: And what has Oduduwa been waiting for before doing the needful - declare Oduduwa Republc so as to end most of the hazzles of One Nigeria? Waiting for end of crude oil? Truth is that anyday Oduduwa Republic is proclaimed these days, core north shall quickly proclaim Arewa Republic, Igbos shall re-proclaim Biafra, the soutsourh people shall sort themselves out for a new country. So who is going to fight who and what for? Before and after Lord Lugard did the amalgamation, every group in Nigeria knows its boundaries with others.

That is one thing they do not know. Nobody is going to fight any war
There will only be loss of distant properties.
Everybody is tired of this union. It is only the elites that benefit from it.

Immediately Oduduwa Republic is declared, Biafra will be claimed.
Arewa will have no choice other than declare an Islamic state.
The south south will lock down their oil.

My only grief is the killing that will happen in the north before non-muslims get to vacate

wickyyolo: The problem is that we don't learn from history. South sudan thought they'd be living good as soon they seperated. But now they can't sleep with their 2 eyes closed. Learn from history.

Can you tell us exactly why there is still problem in the South Sudan?
Is it just because of the separation or is there any other thing going on?

Can all people in Nigeria sleep with their 2 eyes closed?

emiye: Hutu tribe VS Tutsi tribe wars in Rwanda and Burundi is a good case study. It is well documented, people need to understand what war is truly is, and if it is truly what they want. War is a last resort.

I see lots of taunts, hate and tribal bigotry displayed on nairaland, and many think they are catching fun, But i think they fail to understand that discourse especially involving politics, ethnicity and religion on sites like nairaland, and many others is a mould for the voice of the youths and the people on the streets, it might appear like harmless fun, but the more it spreads, taking into cognisance this age of social media and broadcast channels, one day , a seemingly detached event will trigger it. An assassination of a buhari or jonathan in the current heated up polity might be the trigger of a civil war.

Tell this to Seun Osewa, he still does not want to do anything about it.
The traffic is so much more important to him

denass16: Please I need advice.
I applied for a tier4 gen visa with already obtained CAS, ATAS using my passport no. Unfortunately VFs rejected my passport on the ground that it has a little colouration ( probably caused by moisture?) at the bottom of my photograph. I can't get the immigration guys until after the sallah break. Please is there a way around problems like this?

Is the application rejected already or they asked you to submit another passport?
You can get a new passport in just a day and forward back to them, when your visa comes out, you update the information with your school and ATAS

chinziaski: I think our parents are giving birth to more stupid children than we had those days. If you were born from 1965 upwards, please shut up! You don't know anything about fighting your neighbour, you sing typing rubbish! If we start fighting wars now, who will be your target? Igbo against yoruba? Yoruba against hausa? Hausa against igbo, fulani against nupe? Ijaw against itsekiri? Kids of nowadays are so stu.pid and they just don't know what war is all about. My dad had to carry us, running from one local government to the other. Running in the bush, killing different kinds of wild animals. You think you fought cult fights, secondary school ode fights, street fights, etc and you think you can fight war? Talk to a soldier in maiduguri anyhow and see if he won't release bullets in your body, stu.pid kids. You have your smelling fathers that cheated you, input hate in your minds. Few men putting hates in your hearts and you come here forming loyalist to your tribe. I swear, th.under should just strike some these kids here, Id.iots. Do you know how many family members were lost? War begets more hatred because in war, there is no victory, only varying degree of defeats! All of you should just get out and sleep. Ode! Warrior ko! Hulk hogan ni!

Looking at your profile pix, you're definitely not up to 27years old. But make i just dash you 30years
So, when did you experience the war
In your dreams?

emmatok: When last did seceding or national dissolution happen peacefully.
The US fought their civil war and still lived together.

Why should it happen violently? Can't the opposing side just let them go?
And after the fight, are they not living peacefully and united more than ever?
Can you say the same for Nigeria?

What of Georgia? What of Rwanda?


How is calling for dissolution now equal to calling for war?
I said i don't want to be your wife again, i want a divorce. How is that war?

shymexx: It's either most of you are feigning ignorance, or Nigerians are just generally selfish, and insensitive to other people's plight.

Isn't there a war currently going on in that country, with boko haram attacks?

This is the google images link of what's going on in Nigeria: https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=boko+haram+attacks&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=qCPUU8LfGe2f7AbIxIGYBA&sqi=2&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAg&biw=1252&bih=602

^^Pray tell me that isn't a war. Oh, because it doesn't affect you directly, the country is peaceful, no?

Smh @ these mofos getting emotional about war pictures, and screaming peace - when there's a war currently going on in the same country. It's a only a matter of time before it spreads to other parts of the country

Tell them pls. Nigerians keep living in denial.
The number of people killed in tribal and religious conflicts since the amalgamation has surpassed the war in Rwanda, Sudan and Somalia.

The only difference is that, they, know that they are at war and strive to save themselves, but Nigerians are totally ignorant about this, therefore putting themselves at greater risk

texanomaly: If you are so eager to go to war why not fight BH. They are the real enemy of all tribes. Fight one war at a time. Maybe if the nation can come together to fight this real threat it could have a bonding effect.

The war started before bokoharam and the war is not about bokoharam.
I wonder why people keep mentioning BH here.

Were there not tribal conflicts and mass killing before BH kicked off?

oluwafestus: Pls no vex o, what is ur definition of WAR?

Why i go vex, i am here for a mature debate

War is an organized and often prolonged conflict that is carried out by states or non-state actors. It is generally characterised by extreme violence, social disruption and economic destruction. War should be understood as an actual, intentional and widespread armed conflict between political communities, and therefore is defined as a form of political violence or intervention. The set of techniques used by a group to carry out war is known as warfare. An absence of war is usually called peace.

From wikipedia

This is the definition of peace
Peace is an occurrence of harmony characterized by lack of violence, conflict behaviors and the freedom from fear of violence. Commonly understood as the absence of hostility and retribution, peace also suggests sincere attempts at reconciliation, the existence of healthy or newly healed interpersonal or international relationships, prosperity in matters of social or economic welfare, the establishment of equality, and a working political order that serves the true interests of all.

Now tell me, what is happening in Nigeria since the amalgamation

Ishsoph: Or maybe you're the one.

hahaha. Ezigbo enyi m, how far nah

You know am a virgin nah

masqot: War is not something we should wish for. Who suffers at the end of the day? The common man who has nowhere to run to. Remember, all economic and commercial activities come to a halt. When you have money, there would be nowhere to buy. If there is, at a very high rate. Let's think twice before we call for war. Young ones on this thread should be very careful because; Everybody witnesses the beginning of war, only few live to see the end. I've witnessed two tribal wars in my life and it's not easy. We had house, we couldn't sleep. Food, you wouldn't be able to eat. You won't be able to go, if you have food in your farm (I mean the way to a money-venture is a no-go area). You and your siblings split, if you are privilege to find your way out, not knowing whether you'll meet again.
Mhen! pray for this country o. Pray for our leaders to do the right thing. Leadership is our problem in this country. I mean right from the home front. A father that's bias and cannot assert his authority in dealing with his children and wives will come home everyday to settle one problem or the other.
We must realize who our enemies are and face them. Lest we forget, Nigeria is a Federation. There would be agitations because we all have different 'background'. Negotiation and reconciliation is a continuous process.
God bless Nigeria.

Is this not happening now?
Or is it because you're not experiencing it?

pato231: @justwise,
thanks for the candid advice you have been given over the years,God continue to bless and keep you.

Chai, na so this thread don reach

pls lets close this matter. Javanian, i get your point quite well. Those languages are very good to be used as introductory languages, but if used and thought with best practices.

You do not really know the extent of archaic teaching been perpetuated in the Nigerian universities. If you do you wouldnt have been arguing with asalimpo

Most lecturers do not know "hello world", not to talk of OOP
They just reiterate what they see in an ebook they copied 50yrs ago. This is not an exageration. I have seen this first hand. It is not a hearsay.

I have a close friend who is gonna be graduating this year in computer Engineering. After 5 years, the guy do not know what a variable is.

It is not just him, it is all of them. The few who accepted their demise had to engage in outside training. Others, ignorantly, do not know what they've been missing.

What most of them do, just to get into the 21st century IT is blogging
But then, they do not know how to setup blogs from scratch. Na blogger be the saviour

Infact, make i stop here, i want go chop
We need a total overhaul of our educational sector

We are concurrently churning out thousands of certified ignorant illiterates every year. Ignorant in the sense that they do not even know that they know nothing

Seun can do something about it but he doesn't want to. All he cares about is the traffic it generates.

This is the worst forum i have ever been to, so many immature comments everywhere.
His so called 21 rules being broken like it's invisible.

It's not like the e-worms prey on frontpage topics only, but they're virtually on every popular section.

The politics section is a story for another day.

latino2swt: while waiting for the desireable, there is nothing wrong moving on with the availables till the desireable is available

I don't know why but this got me laughing real hard
Maybe cos i got a very close friend who is always on like this
