9japrof:
KweseTV that has been there building structures to ensure distribution channels before launching is still way better and would outlive TSTV in the long run. Kwese even went ahead with their commitment to give out free decoders to thousands of dealers.

You've made a clear point.

Culture › What Is It With Self-made Ladies That I Don't Know? by Vicben(op): 8:11am On Jul 24, 2017

Recently, I've found myself wondering much about the nature of self-made ladies in our society today. This is borne out of the conversations I've had and heard from mostly young bachelors who are looking forward to getting married to their dream partners.

While some are advocating that young people should marry women who are working in order to supplement the man's income during the hard times, others are of the opinion that marrying an already made wife is an open invitation to domestic and matrimonial terrorism in your home.

Today, many of our young, talented and visionary sisters have become victims of this later thought. Our culture and tradition at many points segregate women from taking a major role in the society but have given them the championship role in the kitchen and the other room activities (PMB).

A few years ago, a mobile web app came out (www.brideprice.com.ng) that could be used to measure the pride price of a Nigerian wife to be. Although the developers of the app have stated clearly on the app that it's only a joke, it still depicts the true Nigerian culture. In the app, a women's bride price reduces once she has a Ph.d

I'd like to have your opinion to the following:

- Why do men and the society general think an educated woman is a deadly weapon to be kept in a young man's home?.
- Why do women also like to assume the leadership role in the home when their husbands are still there?
- Who would you marry?

AutoReportNG:
Whats your take on this?

Lalasticlala

AutoReportNG, thanks for the information. I'm having issues with my Toyota Corolla 2005, 1.8L auto transmission engine. I didnt experience any of the signs you mentioned here. That day, I drove the car to work and it moved on smoothly with normal transmission only for it to refuse to transmit beyond gear three while driving back home. I changed from transmission oil oil but it didn't resolve the problem.

We also cleaned the gearbox sensor under the car (bottom plate), check all electrical connections and wiring all to no avail until I was referred to guy that they said he's a specialist.

There, the guy said he was going to drop the gearbox and it might take 3-5 days for him to get my car ready so I left the car with him. The guy later called me that same day that he's fixed my car, according to him, the problem was from the gearbox cover which he got another one to replace.

The car was fine after the 'replacement' and I used it for about 7 months both within the town on a long distances as well but the problem later now resurfaced. It's not engaging in gear three and above. It starts fine from gear one to two an it stops there, it then the engine begins to high, the rpm.

Now, the guy is telling me the problem now is the clutch fibres that he'll this time need to drop the gearbox to replace the fibres....

I'm not quite convinced based on the previous experience...what do you suggest?

According to him, it cost me around 40k to fix it while it cost around 100k to replace the whole gearbox.

Meanwhile, I contacted two other mechanics and they both said it's the fibres.

Politics › Suswam Regains Freedom At Last, Granted Bail On Self Recognition by Vicben(op): 8:33pm On May 07, 2017

Immediate past Governor of Benue State, Rt. Hon. Gabriel Torwua Suswam PhD CON has been released from detention by the Directorate of State Security (DSS) in Abuja.
He was released on the afternoon of Sunday, 7th May, 2017 on bail granted to him on self-recognition by the DSS who have kept him in their custody for over two months.
The former Benue State Governor was arrested and alleged to be in possession of unlicensed firearms and later the security agency claimed it had received petitions alleging him to be linked to wanted outlaw Terwase Akwaza aka Gana.
Many have doubted Suswam's links to Gana pointing to the fact that throughout the eight years of his reign as Governor the outlaw had stayed in hiding being always on the run from the law.
Meanwhile, supporters and sympathisers of the former Governor, within and outside of Benue State, have been thrown into jubilation, with many thanking God for his release.
Suswam's release is coming on the heels of the rumoured efforts by the Tor Tiv, HRM Prof. James Ortese Ayatse, to intervene in the matter and seek his release from the prolonged detention.
Bemgba Iortyom, State Publicity Secretary of the PDP, Benue State Chapter, writes from Makurdi.

Meanwhile, there is wide celebration across the state over the release of Mr. Suswam. Benue cyberspace is currently in a joyous mood following the his release

It appears that the country is gradually pulling apart right from the centre down to the supporting co-ordinates. Let's put our hands together rescue ourselves from this mess before it gets outta control.

May God console the family of all those who have lost their lives in this country under any of these ungodly circumstances.

This is interesting and as you said, trade secret is not common in Nigeria, probably because most of the products and services produced here does not have high intellectual property qualities. Though, with the recent advent of technology startups in the country, it's pertinent that tech startup should have this in place.

You are distracting the thread, but here is the deal, magento has minimal installation requirements (depending on the version you are installing). If you click those read show details, you will see it.
But generally, it works on PHP 5.6 and above (i dont think it works in 7.0.1 but might work in 7.1 i am not sure) - show details will help here.
Then there are extensions that you need to have installed on your PHP e.g. mcrypt and some others - again show details will clarify this.

When you have completed all this, that is when magento will work for you.

See here for installation requirements - http://docs.magento.com/m1/ce/user_guide/magento/system-requirements.html

Hello house ,please I need an urgent help, yesterday I paid with a master card yet money has not reflect in portal this is almost 24hours .Please what should I do I have my remita number.

has money been deducted from your bank account? If not then be patient and even if the money has been deducted, still be patient. Try to load your wallet with the RRR generated for the transaction.

I made payment yesterday too and it didn't reflect in wallet, they did not also deduct the money (at least I didn't receive any debit alert) until this morning. I logged in after I got the debit alert and saw that my wallet was also updated with the same amount.
