100% true!!!

Even if you want to work outside the country, most companies will recognize professional certificate from Google, Microsoft Oracle etc than your local degree from your overhyped institutions here like unilag, oau, ui etc.

I also heard from a reliable source that in developed countries like USA, Australia, Canada etc, all Nigerian degrees are useless in those countries , so if you want to work there you gotta earn another degree

This people no dey hear wir

This are definitely not paid crowd, is it that this people are not feeling the recession or what?

You must be a hypocrite for posting this rubbish.Liverpool has a bigger fanbase in Nigeria,man city is gradually winning the hearts of many Africans.



Between.. I'm a united fan.

BTW is By The Way, not between. A lot of people make this mistake here on naira land

DTaj:
Only in Arsenal could such fantastically average, poor clowns such as Elneny, Welbeck, Chambers, Holding, Iwobi, Maitland-Niles, Bellerin, and others be seen as playing football. They do not even deserve to be ball boys!

And as a Nigerian, I am ashamed Alex Iwobi. The Iwobi who plays for Nigerian Super Eagles must have been a ghost! The Iwobi that turns up for Arsenal is too daft to be called anything! Pathetic on all fronts! The commentator said that he (Iwobi) had scored only one goal in his last 20 games! And he claims to be a midfield player!

Only an Arsene Wenger would play these daft clowns in his team! They can’t start games at Brighton or Hull City!

Don't know why some Nigerian are afraid to play among stars in Europe, but once they get to their homeland, they play better

Still no #bringbackourgirls campaign on Twitter? It's not as worst has this under GEJ before everybody start to dey carry placard for twitter including all those yeye foreign celebrities.

All thanks to Trump for embarrassing my country worldwide on twitter.

It's so sad that people have stopped going to church because of their pastors. No wonder the Bible says: Judgment Will Start in the House of God. Not in the shrine, not in the house of the murders, not in the house of ritualists but in the house of God.

But I still don't understand why some people will stop going to church because of their pastors, are you going to church to worship God or Pastors.

Ok, so how has that contributed to our GDP growth rate.

Lol! You're probably right, the guy was even scared of removing the sticker on the screen.

WizRomeo:
Can i update it through PC or OTA?

Symbian is dead bro. Don't stress yourself

You cannot get brand new gaming laptop for 100k

The problem is probably with your hard disk.
To fix it defrag your hard disk and check for error.

To check fir error, right-click your hard disk which you wish to check and select Properties. Next, click on Tools tab and under Error-checking, click on the Check button. This option will check the drive for file system errors. If the system detects that there are errors, you will be asked to check the disk.

If that doesn't solve your problem then let me know

CC; Tippyboy,

Were u meant to face all, or just one of those challenges in two weeks

And what happens if you can't handle it?

This stuff is beginning to look scary..

Don't be scared, you're not supposed to finish everything within 2 weeks, first week we were told that if we can make 4 route to work we have a high possibility of making it to the second week, I couldn't get one route to work very well, so I couldn't make it.
It was later I realized that it was actually very simple. you can finish writing all the routes within one day self.

OVERVIEW


What?

More-Recipes provides a platform for users to share the awesome and exciting  recipe ideas they have invented or learnt.  Suppose a user comes up with a food recipe,  he/she can post it on More-Recipes and  get feedback in form of reviews and votes from other users who explore that recipe. Users can also keep a list of their favorite recipes on the application.


How?

This project is broken down into challenges and completion of all phases would contribute greatly to your learning towards becoming a full-stack developer. Upon completion, you would have built a world-class full-stack JS application (front-end and back-end).


Why?

Andela distributes opportunities. We disseminate Learning and catalyse Technology leadership. The project is founded on the premise that aspiring Technology Leaders learn programming whilst building things that matter and that the best way to learn is by building a complete product.  

This project has one objective: create opportunities for learning where learners build products that do real stuff. In this way, we will inspire change in African tech landscape.

Extra Credits:
NB: executing one or more features from the extra credits means you have exceeded expectations.

Users should be able to see the number of times a recipe has been viewed.

Registered user should be able to find recipes based on a list of ingredients inputted



Create a Github Repository and clone it to your computer

Tip: find how to create a Github Repository here.

Create three directories in your local git repo

template - this will contain the UI template for the front-end in HTML/CSS

server -this will house your back-end implementation in NodeJS-Express

client - this will house your front-end implementation in ReactJS and Redux

Build out the below specified templates into the template directory

In the template directory, build out all the pages (with HTML, CSS, JS, and any other CSS framework (N.B You are to use either Bootstrap 4 or Materialize CSS framework. Do not download and use any UI template!!! )) and the necessary UI elements that will allow your application perform the following functions:


User registration/login to the application.

This would contain a basic form that allows people create accounts and login to the system.

The submit button is not expected to be functional here.

A page that shows top recipes and allows viewers to search for recipes

A page that shows details of a recipe and allows logged in users to do the following:

Post reviews for a recipe

Upvote recipe

Downvote recipe

A page that shows the favorite recipes of a registered user

A page where a registered user can see his/her profile

A page where a registered user can do the following:

Add recipe

Modify the recipe he/she added  

Delete the recipe he/she added


NB: you’re not implementing the core functionality yet, you’re only working on the User Interface!

NB:  you are to create a pull request for the templates when you are done working on them locally

Nobody should come to Andela bootcamp without having any idea about what the bootcamp is all about. As someone who has been to the bootcamp once, Here's something I wished someone had told me:

They are not going to teach you programming from scratch like most people thought. You own your own learning at Andela, you will be given some resources like three days before the bootcamp, and big project to work on within two weeks. You are encouraged to collaborate with your selves at the bootcamp . The project is very big and overwhelming (I will modify this comment and post the project very soon) and the first time I saw it I was like how the heck am supposed to finish this within two weeks, not knowing that I am supposed to focus more on the backend and leave the front end(react and co) for now. Bootcamp was fun, I met a lot different people, the funny ones, cool dudes, crazy niggaz, those that have finished all their routes, those that are still trying to wrap their head around the mvc concept, those that the longest line of code they've ever written in their life was:
console. log('Hello World!')...lol
I remember a guy once wrote in his bootcamp experience article: HA! WHO BROUGHT A KNIFE INTO A GUNFIGHT BATTLE. lol!

blaming the failure of this country on pastors is not cool.

Better You Work Hard, Innovate & Be Creative Than To Do 50 Days Fasten & Prayer

Freeze is not in position to give this advice,
Matthew 7:5
You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.

Freeze with your creativities and innovations how many mansions you don own.

You should focus more on your life cos I'm pretty sure most of the people doing the fasting and prayers are richer you.

So no Trophy for arsenal this season, Isokay!

How many JS frameworks/libraries person wan learn now. I actually wanted to go for this react native sometimes ago, but I read from somewhere that facebook will soon discontinue it. Why are you guys not using C# for your projects nah??

Some house help in Nigeria are going through worse . God knows I can never treat someone as bad as this. I am very happy the couples too are going through bad time. karma is indeed a b*tch!

Hi guys! just want y'all to know that the problem has been resolved. I messaged Glo on Facebook just like someone advised me here, they called me to ask for my location and 2 days later the problem was resolved. I'm currently using glo to type these message now and it's evening, something that I have not been able to do for some week now.

I never new glo has a very nice customer service.

it's very hard to let traffic coming from blackberry phones go. There should be at least 1 million bb10 users all over the world

Im a sheeple and the lord is my shepherd I didn't take tithe seriously before, but thanks to freeze and his fans.

So they negotiated with terrorists. This is very painful, and annoying, and stupid. They have put alot of money in the hands of terrorists and they want terrorism to end.

EvilMetahuman:
post your location to their facebook, twitter page. had that problem last week, it was fixed under 24hrs.


posting this with glo right amazing speed.

Thanks I will try this

looks more like somebody pooped on her head

Even with a full signal (-70dbm to - 80 dbm), my Glo will not load a single webpage on opera mini talkless of chrome at home during day, or else i change my location entirely, but at night in my room with a single bar, the speed is very high. It's not always like this before, but ever since Glo has increased their data, it's like the whole world is now using Glo to browse. Or is it just me?
My Airtel on the other hand can browse very fast even with a very weak signal strength (like - 90dbm to - 117dbm)
