What i am saying in summary is, most of the hosted content that form the core of the internet are located in the advance countries so they can afford to run short and easy to maintain access to these servers compared to African countries.

[quote author=~Bluetooth]What's the point of a 500mb which Nigerian useless networks won't even allow you use a quarter of it conviniently ?[/quote]Nigerian telcos are trying. You think it is easy running and fibre optic cable all the way to Europe and compete with other European countries who have the 'core' of Internet at their backyard? Those other countries can afford to run better access channel to the 'core' of the internet which is closer to them than is to African countries.

geeez: After 8yrs under Aregbesola, Osun State will be one of Nigeria’s leading economies at this rate

He is also building capacity for the future by investing strategically in education. The Opon Imo is still an idea that I marvel at till this day and will eventually impact on the quality of knowledge the students get on the long run

At the moment it has the fourth highest IGR in the country, the lowest unemployment rate, one of the lowest crime rates, the lowest poverty rate and the fourth highest GDP in southern Nigeria for 2012, behind Lagos, Rivers and Oyo

Opon Imo to me is one big misplaced priority. I will go for textbooks/library anyday.

Mr. OP appears to be a little bit confused. He says 30,000 students multiplied by N40,000 for every four student per year= 7,500,000,000 total a year.

The man probably still doesn't give a damn. Articles like these are good tools for choosing candidate for 2015 election. GEJ has no inner strength to confront any public office holder who decides not to give a damn about asset declaration. I think the global anti-corruption body have a good point here.

I feel your pain, especially the aspect of people around you not seeing what you see and the power supply thing. As for the power supply part i will suggest you shop for a cheap laptop with 9-cell or 12-cell battery. Most battery of this capacity can go 10-15 or more hours a day with about 3.5-4.5 hours of charging - for about N70,000-80,000 when added to laptop cost.
As for the data thing, i advice you to patronise local software sale people, most of the software you are looking for are on CD or DVD already and cost N200 or N300 'or' go for MTN N2,500 night plan and download as much as 4 GigaByte of data over 30 days.

javalove: Well, I finished from NIIT many many years ago and those materials should be somewhere around my house in Naija. Haven't set my eyes on them for over ten years. I guess you can make do with eBooks as there are lots of free learning materials lying around the internet

#Javalove. . .unless otherwise stated. . .!

Are you talking about e-books generally or NIIT ebooks? I was targetting the books to serve as a definitive guide in terms of timeline and syllabus. The challenge i have currently is that of "not knowing the how close i am" to any sellable level of mastery of the language. Java is a wide language and hard to find direction with no form of guid or mentorship.

These people coming to endorse APC actually vote in PDP in their states and then come out to vote in APC in the SWester states. They realise PDP is less efficient compared to ACN but don't want to admit. They prefer their brother at Federal level but Theiving APC at state level. What a level of Hippo-crisy!

Education › Re: Private Or Public School. Which Is Better? by Standing5(m): 9:44am On Sep 19, 2013

I know private schools get a lot of bashing from the public schools people, but how do those in public schools really lay claim to a superior system when 35-40% of the entire workload is 'sort'-ed out financially|sexually with corrupt lecturers and another 10-15% is circumvented either by cheating in exams or intimidating lecturer's. The only advantage a public has over a private school is the subbsidized fees which attracts lots of student to choose from, and even at that, it hasn't translated to any meaningful progress in terms addmitting the best students.
Plus post-ume kind of exams is the brain child of private schools, add that to the fact that some rules in private schools are being copied by public schools. UI is a good example.

Sports › 2014 World Cup Final Qualifying Round For Africa: Nigeria Face Ethipia, by Standing5(op): 12:21pm On Sep 16, 2013

The final fixtures which will decide the five African representatives for Brazil 2014 have been drawn, and there are some interesting encounters ahead
The 2014 World Cup final qualifying round draw for Africa took place in Cairo, Egypt on Monday, with the 10 countries remaining in the qualifiers discovering who their opponents would be.

There are only five qualifying spots open for the remaining national teams in Africa, as they play their opponents over two legs to decide the victor and qualifier for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

The 10 teams were divided into two pots ahead of the draw. Pot A contained the five seeded teams based on their latest Fifa ranking. This included Cote d'Ivoire, Ghana, Algeria, Nigeria and Tunisia.

Pot B contained the remaining sides, which included Egypt, Ethiopia, Cameroon, Senegal and Burkina Faso.

The biggest gasp of the draw proceedings was reserved for the moment when Cote d'Ivoire and Senegal were drawn against each other, setting up a very fierce West African tie.

Other interesting clashes include Nigeria facing Ethiopia, and Ghana taking on Egypt.

The teams will play home and away fixtures on October 11-15 and November 15-19 to determine the five finalists, who will then represent the African continent in Brazil.

The Final African Qualifying Fixtures for the 2014 World Cup are as follows:

Cote d'Ivoire v Senegal

Ethiopia v Nigeria

Tunisia v Cameroon

Ghana v Egypt

Algeria v Burkina Faso
