While I will agree with you to an extent, somethings are not entirely as you stated:
SDL out of favour? I don't think. First of all, SDL and Qt/wxWidgets are not in the same category. SDL is not a GUI toolkit but a multimedia hardware abstraction library.

I know what SDL is. I was only using it as an anology. The way many devs choose SFML over SDL. That 's how wxWidgets is to Qt.
Well maybe wxWidgets got updated recently but there is always this feeling I get when I'm using it like it some super ancient stuff waiting to die.
The ease at which one can create custom interfaces in Qt pretty much beats all reasons for using wxWidgets for me. The signal and slot, the Qmake, the IDE and a lot of other goodies just makes C++ GUI dev on Qt a breeze. I believe wxWidgets is also nice, but I still don't see what it does that Qt framework doesn't do or better. And there's this incredible Qt tutorial by VoidRealms on Youtube that makes Qt very very approachable for beginners. But like always, a man to his tool. One should settle with what makes him comfy the most.

You might be wondering with all these slight advantages that qt "seems" to have over wxWidgets, why would people not just jump to Qt and dump wxWidgets. Well, for those in the open source community, both users and developers, license matters alot, I know it might sound crazy but it can ruin a project if not taken seriously. I currently contribute to an opensource project where GPL and L-GPL libraries are forbidden. Some people feel ok going for wxWidgets because of the license it offers, others a comfortable with that of Qt.
At the end its win-win for everyone

You call those mega awesome list of advantages "slight".
Qt also has an LGPL license. Believe me those are one of the first things I check for before using a library or framework. Don't wanna get caught in legal battles later.

You cant ridicule religion and speak out overtly against any God and still have a belief in any . Most of them ridicule religion not just Christianity . They express their lack of belief in any god in the open . They even shout at you
Most touts and the sexually unrestrained are atheists .

Where is the stats please. Many touts an prostitutes I've seen, though behave badly, still believe in some god. Or at the very least believe in some spiritual realm and beings. I'm sure many will agree with me. Well except you are living in some place other than Nigeria.

Anyway you need to understand that being logical is the reason why I believe in God

Hahaha! How is the existence of your god logical at all. The bible that claims his existence is in fact illogical in itself. I'm sure you have seen a lot of questions posed by many atheists/agnostics here. And yet there is no logical answer to any.

KingEbukasBlog:
A blatant assertion , a moronic one to say the least .

Just the same way you said "There are more uneducated benighted atheists than educated ones anyway".
As long as we are arguing logically you can only eventually resort to strawman tactics or just stay silent.
That's what you guys do anyway.

KingEbukasBlog:
Daft post . . Why are all of you bereft of common sense ? There are a thousand and one touts who ridicule Christianity when the word of God is preached to them . Have you tried even preaching to a drunk in a beer parlour ? Or a nymphomaniac ? The preponderance of people who condone such depravities in Nigeria is overwhelming . Nigeria is a superstitious country - made up of hypocrites and carping people . This shouldn't be confused with being overly religious .

Dude. They are religious. Simple. That they are touts or prostitutes; that they stay in beer parlours; that they do not listen to your preachings does not mean they don't believe in God.
Where TF are you taking this anyway?
Where did you get "The lack of belief in a deity =! Being Logical"? When did I mention anything like that? And why are you relating it with nymphs and touts?
Anyway you need to understand that being logical is the reason why I don't believe in abrahamic god. The same applies for many other atheist.

Qt is awesome.
I always get the feeling that wxWidget will eventually fall out of favor the way SDL is now.
If you want a long-term library support, I suggest going with Qt.
And Qt is not even hard as many people put it to be. Qt Creator makes it a mile easy to code GUI than tools for wxWidget.
Also, wxWidget was designed to produce the native look while in Qt coding custom interfaces is a delight.
There is also pyQt, for python devs.
And finally the documentation for Qt is adequate and reliable and the docs come with the application. wxWidget however has a lot of outdated docs lying around the internet.

YOU ARE A LIAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is NO "BUT", stop making yourself available for the devil to use, by destroying the testimony of our throne of redemption and justification!!!!

Then, it means that you are under the captivity of the devil, because you are not sinless perfect!!! NO DENAIL!

It means that paul, david, abraham, peter, moses, were under the captivity of the devil! What a demonic accusation?

How can the devil hold us captive on the sin that Jesus WILFULLY took it's punishment for(paid)??

How

In fact, what does it mean that Jesus paid for our sins?

You have allowed, your favourite preacher and a Zionist who makes no relevance of Jesus, to block your senses of discovering the truth about the cross.

Stop making mockery of the cross!!!!


We are not free from captive because we don't commit sin!

Rather we are free from captive because Jesus paid the price, by dying the sinful death we deserve to die for our ETERNAL sinless imperfection and gave us the gift of NO CONDEMNATION!!!!!!!


So, next time read your bible well, before spreading lies like this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Come on, why are you guys arguing with each other na?
Every person understands a storybook differently.
If one persons understand it as "Jesus floated on the water" and the other understands it as "Jesus glided on the water".
It's not all bad. We have different brains after all.
Well as for me I like to see it as "Jesus dived into the water".
He was probably looking for piranhas.

The same way you feel we dont make sense is the same way we feel you dont make sense . There are more uneducated benighted atheists than educated ones anyway .

There are more uneducated benighted atheists. Really?
The reason most atheist/agnostics in Nigeria are who they are now is because they are educated.
Nigeria is a place where one is born into a religion, and since there are many uneducated people in Nigeria.
There are equally many uneducated christains, muslims, etc.
And seriously though, you guys make sense, except that it is a very small tiny little sense.
Like I always say. Stick with your storybook, let me stick with logic.

Amberon:
Now I see why your strength lies only on Nairaland. you just prolly lie to people you're xtian.

what a pathetic life.

Fallacy. When did I say I lie to people that I'm a christain?
I actually consider your life pathetic cos I've seen the truth and I'm FREE!
Stick with your storybook, let me stick to my logic.

Dear Lord Jesus!!!

Don't be surprised, the religious section is where we atheists and agnostics are free to post our thoughts about religion.
Hopefully, one day, we will get to speak proudly in public.
That time is not now, but it will come. The juice moving religion is running out.

CodeHouse:
Both interfaces are not so good

I thought I was the only one realizing that. Jelo is someone I know.
However, that won't stop me from expressing my mind.
The GUI is not all that interesting or particularly consistent.
Maybe that is what the client wants. But this is definitely not exceptional.

stephenmorris:
my dear as for me my atheism is secret for now. I'm not ready to be discriminated o

At first I was scared to tell anyone. I felt they will attack me or stay away from me.
Then there was a time I just didn't care and I made everyone around me know.
My mum was really pissed. She is still making me go to church.
I don't stay with my dad, so I give little shit about what he thinks about it.
Well it is not the same as before, my friends now see an agnostic in their midst.
And they don't like bringing up religious issues around me cos I will argue. I can't help listening to bullshit.
However, I won't advice someone whose dad is an evangelist to come out when he is still under dad.

And one day religion will be the last thing people care about.

Gombs:
You're so wrong!

Ezekiel 18:4 MSG
Every soul—man, woman, child— belongs to me, parent and child alike. You die for your own sin, not another's.

This is self explanatory. God didn't say "some souls are mine" and notice judgement of sin was the only reason a soul was killed. That is referring to the second death. The devil has no power to kill a soul... And physical death here doesn't mean the end of a Soul.

You looked into an ancient piece of relic (that is called The Bible) and you tell someone else that he is wrong, because the relic says you are right?
Interesting logic.
BTW, my soul belongs to the flying spaghetti monster already. I signed the contract yesterday.
Unlike your awful religion, there is no hell.
There is, however, a roller coaster ride for eternity.

KingEbukasBlog:
Christianity started after the death of Christ . The bible did not say the earth is 6,000 yrs old . I'm not sure why your little brain made you feel that you were making any sense because Hinduism did precede Christianity .

I like how you always try to manoeuvre around questions using strawman tactics.
Except that it is feeling kinda old now.
You try as much not to let atheist/agnost questions cross the threshold of your belief.
So you act as if a question was never asked by clouding it with a new question or an answer that diverges from the original question.
You said christainity started after the death of christ.
Ok, why then is the Old testament always quoted in churches?
Why is it a major reference for christain culture.

You know something that is funny about you Christians.
You try to find logic to explaining what is essentially illogical.
At first you are like, it's fire and then a logical question comes up, and you are like it's a different type of fire.
You guys are truly unsure of what you are following but you get the felling that it is there.
Well unexplained feelings are not very helpful. The feelings should to be examined and explained thoroughly, not just dismiss it with a simple , non-sensible explanation. Which is what the bible is.
I can have a strange feeling in my belly and just dismiss that it is the devil dancing in my stomach and therefore pray to god about it. Or I could go to a doctor to get examined based on collections of logical and physical studies done through the years.
I was at a burial yesterday and I listened as the pastor ranted on and on about afterlife and people all sober and listening with rapt attention.
I shook my head. This people have no clue that there is simply no afterlife. There is no soul. There is only one life to live.
This mentality of afterlife has made a lot people redundant to productivity. They simply accept their situation, quoting some verses in the Bible to console themselves about a better place after death where they will live happily ever after.
Tell me how this doesn't sound like a Cinderella story.
The interesting part is, there are two groups of Christains. The educated ones and the uneducated ones.
The educated ones try to use logic and science to explain a lot of illogical mysteries about the Bible. The uneducated ones however, do not bother to explain anything. They know little about science. They believe god is in the sky. They believe heaven is in the sky and that hell is perhaps beneath the earth. They don't even know how the bible came about. They don't even know how Christainity came to Nigeria. They probably never bothered to ask. It doesn't feel right when an atheist/agnost asks them certain brain-probing questions because some questions are better left unasked. They are scared of blasphemy and they watch what they say to avoid rejection.
At the end of the day, educated and uneducated alike resort to the basal way of explaining phenomena with a book written thousands of years ago. Or was it? What if through those years some people edited the wordings of the Bible? What if some contexts were lost to translations. Who knows?
Either way, just believe.
Well they forget some of us like to ask questions. We are passionate about how things work rather than just knowing they work.

BEWARE! YOUR SMART PHONE MAY BE TEACHING YOU BAD ENGLISH
EXAMPLES : The following words are missing seriously from these smart phones/keyboards
1. Behind as” bind”
2. Vehicles = as “vicle “
3. Kehinde as “kinde”
4. Behold as “bold”
5. Apprehend as “append”
6. Household as ”housold”
7. Behave as “bave”
8. Behavior s “baviour”
9. Beheaded as “beaded”
10. Behalf as “balf”
11. Apprehensive as “apprensive” etc, etc (You can add yours as well)

Godammit! One of these stupid unintelligible rants again.
BTW, keyboard developers are responsible for providing the dictionary their keyboard use for suggestions or auto-correct. And stop fu*king generalising the problem to a whole operating system or a set of devices.
If your keyboard app is buggy, then get a new one on playstore. Tweak the settings to your liking and stay happy.
Kehinde is not English. And auto-correct or suggestions is not there to automatically improve your English, it only helps with preventing misspellings and to suggest the next possible word.
Do a fu*king research before posting this kind of things.
Sh*t! I just wasted 10 minutes of my life reading this crap, another 10 minutes typing this.
Now let me go and waste 60 more minutes at the petrol station.

Half of a Yellow Sun, Green White Green.

If this continues, War will come.

Many people will cry, Many people will perish.

Innocent and guilty, Nigerian and Biafran.

At the end of the day.

Nothing is achieved, nothing is left.

Only ruins and regret.


...........

One thing caught my attention though. The tribalistic war on this thread only involves two tribes the Igbos and the Yorubas. Where are the Hausa?
Is the academic tussle between the Igbos and the Yorubas alone? There should be Hausas here to defend their academic excellence given they are nearly more than the two other tribes combined.

My $0.02 is
Why can't we stop this nonsense and just marry ourselves.
Me I don't want war o. The Nigerian government are not going to give in, that one is for sure. The Biafra people will keep returning, even if this one dies down.
So let's just marry each other and forget about this concentration of any tribe in any location in Nigeria.
We need to understand that war is not a funny matter when it comes.

Well sha, I don dey pack my load small small. War comes, I goes.

TheGoodJoe:
Did you read what I posted before storming at me. I do not need to check the website to prove the point I was making. In the quoted part of the article, the person said,

“As a matter of policy, the Clay Mathematics Institute does not comment on solutions to the Millennium Problems."

So, the person can not say whether the millennium problem is solved or not.

So even if the site said it is not solved, it does not prove anything because Clay Mathematics Institute will not comment about it.

They have a policy before they comment.

Nigerians and Hatred for themselves.

Well your quotation is very incomplete Oga.

Naomi Kraker, administrative manager in an email to The Herald said, “As a matter of policy, the Clay Mathematics Institute does not comment on solutions to the Millennium Problems. The current status of the problems and complete information about each, can be found at
www.claymath.org; I’m afraid I can not add anything beyond what is available there.”

So what were you saying again.

TheGoodJoe:

I wonder how this translated to he did not solve it. The person just said, We do not comment about it.[/b]

Dude did you even check Claymath site before storming over here to make a comment.
Dr. Enoch may have a proof, but according to Claymath, the hypothesis still remains unsolved.

Nigerians sha!

If anything this story is gathering traction on the internet. International news sites like UK telegraph www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/nigeria/12000314/The-Riemann-Hypothesis-solution-found-by-Dr-Opeyemi-Enoch.html are picking up the story. This says a lot about the follow-the-sheperd style of journalism today. They don't work with facts anymore, it's all about copy and pasting, but I'm sure they will change their wordings soon though.
Now this man's salary is going to increase, even if his proof gets debunked. He is now a celebrity mathematician. Students and scholars around the world are going to talk about him. If this was his original strategy, then it is working.

The Reimann hypothesis was proposed in 1856, making it 156 years-old. Even the Nigerian news is even more accurate that this BBC story.
I checked the BBC website www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03891wc , they were uncertain. They didn't make a claim, they posed a question instead. So op, your mobile version of the story has been tampered with. Anyone looking for the true story should check the site.

Nigerian professor claims to solve 150 year old maths problem

Has a maths problem, which has gone more than 150 years without a solution, finally been solved by Nigerian academic Dr. Opeyemi Enoch? The Riemann Hypothesis was first proposed by Bernhard Riemann in 1859. If it is confirmed that he is the first person to provide a solution, Dr. Enoch could scoop a million dollar prize.

Anyway, Claymaths Institute site still shows that this hypothesis remains unsolved. If Claymath is the one giving the award and the prize, then their acknowledgement is all I need to believe this is true.
Until then keep posting! Give us CNN , AlJazeera.
All that matters is Claymath's side of the story.

FOLYKAZE:
A christian who disbelieve in Jehovah could still acknowledge the existence of other Gods. Apostle paul affirmed that there many Gods both in heaven and earth.

Christians also disbelieve in other Gods like Brahman and Buddha just like atheists. The difference is that atheists disbelieve in one lesset God than christians. One lesser God mean everything know as God. This implies that atheists disbelieve in everything termed God.

Gaia is a greek goddess which is Earth. disbelieving in Gaia means you don't believe earth exist. Hope you see the insanity of atheism?

Actually, it is your position in atheism that represents insanity. We do believe in the existence of earth. But why do we have to call it Gaia, or even call it a goddess or even stupidly worship it for whatever reason?
You are not making sense. Why give them names or personalise them? Well except you are a poet. But the rest of us are not poets!
