olaNL:


The article says they will "recoup" 900million in ten years. Meaning that they will get back their investment in the project plus profit which altogether becomes the 900 million. Let's even say they want to make a profit of 100% in that period, are you saying it will take 450 million to procure an e-tickting platform? Airlines use similar platform and I am sure they do not spend that much on theirs.

I assume you also do not have access to the contract so we are both basing our judgement on the news article.

PS. The last paragraph in my initial comment was for those who "curruptly benefits" from the project. So if I am wrong in my assumption and everything was done in good faith, I do not see why anybody should worry.

Have you been to the station before and after this project?
Do you know the terms of the project.
You sit in your house and assume the whole thing is only about online ticket purchase.

Have you seen the Vending machines installed?
Even the people selling the tickets before now have ticketing machines?
You go there now my phone is seeing wifi in NRC name.(Although I could not connect)
There are now automatic access machine that will scan your ticket and allow you to pass.(Plenty ones) How much do you think they sell these things?

All these for 5 stations oooo.
You people will just sit on your computer and be assuming cost of things. How many computers, Servers and other equipment do you think was brought in for the project and how much do you think Server sells for now?

Health / Crowd-funding For Charties (nigerian Success Story) by wolebaba(m): 10:58am On Mar 21, 2016
I have always believed that whatever is obtainable in other countries should work even here in Nigeria, hence my wanting to share this success story I cam across:

“It’s just like I am still dreaming. How people that do not know us from Adam would be so committed to helping us this much”.

The words of Mrs Adebiyi; Kehinde’s mother. She runs her small business in the quiet Lagos suburb of Cele Egbe away from the traffic madness synonymous with the “centre of excellence”. Her husband is a professional furniture maker who is very good at his job. They are an average but very OK family with 4 children, relatively unknown in the community until Kehinde developed the cancerous growth in her right ear.

“We didn’t know what to do when it started. We thought it was just boil (abscess) and applied shear butter (locally called Ori) and gave her antibiotics on Doctor’s recommendation. But when it won’t go away we just got frustrated. We cried many nights when cancer was diagnosed.”

Their predicament made them popular and susceptible to scammers. A few people had approached them with the aim of helping, but only a very few truly meant it.

“Several people came to our home and said they could help raise funds for the treatment but only very few of them ever returned with money. A man saw us at the Eko hospital and gave 50,000 Naira. He was always checking up to know how well the treatment was going. A few others also gave some money here and there but it just wasn’t enough. Before the whole dilemma, we were doing well. We could take care of our family with relative ease. But this illness just got beyond any average-living family.”



donate-ng got wind of the story and contacted the family. It didn’t take too much effort to convince them to let us help.

“We were really very desperate at that point. All our savings had been exhausted. It cost my husband the trust of a key client because he could not execute a project awarded due to him using part of the initial payment for the treatment. We don’t like begging, but we were almost going to take situation to Churches and Mosques to beg for help. We were that desperate (Sobbing). We just couldn’t seat back and watch our daughter die slowly and painfully. We weren’t going to let that happen. We agreed to anything and anyone that came our way who wanted to help. Pictures of Kehinde were taken along with that of the family. We know that many people used our plight to collect money from the good people of Nigeria and the world then diverted the funds for their own use. That is just part of the world we find ourselves in. But thanks to donate-ng, our despair has been taken away.”

Like many Nigerians, the family doubted the intentions of NGOs.

“We really doubted donate-ng at first but we still played along because of our very desperate situation. But when we started seeing the response of people on their website showing the amount that has been raised I cried. I just didn’t expect that to happen that soon and because I knew that our baby was finally going to get the help she needs. They kept in touch with us, asking for periodic updates on the health of the child. They even sent one of their team members to check up on our family after the first instalment of the money was paid. This really gave us absolute joy. They brought gifts during the twins’ birthday and sent a member of their team to attend. This for me was unprecedented. I have never seen anything like that ever. Words cannot describe the joy we feel. Now our family that was on the brink of starvation and disintegration, and the agony of losing a child has been restored. I can only ask that God bless the entire donate-ng team and everyone who donated to ensure that this child doesn’t die. May you all never pass through such a horrific and terrifying experience.”

Kehinde Adebiyi is responding to treatment better than anticipated. Radiotherapy is working absolutely well. The Cancerous lump has slowly eased while the swelling has gone down considerably. The Doctors are monitoring the situation so that they can ascertain when surgery to remove the lump can be done. If need be, chemotherapy will also be done.

Kehinde can now play with her siblings and friends, she has even started going to school. She is a good kid who just like the kids of her age loves to run around and play. Very smart and funny; this girl is a prankster. We thank everyone who donated to this cause to put back the joy to the Adebiyi’s. This has been a great experience for us and we are glad it has finally come to fruition.

Thank you and God bless.

Sorry for been late o.
The laptop has gone worse. Now, immediately it boot to show desktop icon, the screen will go blank and all buttons won't function except the power button solely for force closing the laptop.
Same thing will repeat if I try booting up again.
Laptop specs.
Compaq 615
It came with 1GB ram but upgraded to 4GB
It was window 7 starter. Upgraded to home premium.(almost 2months ago, though problem started 2weeks ago)
Have not formatted it before, haven't encountered any serious virus threat before.
I did diagnose on the laptop, all areas tested was passed. I.e memory test, start up etc.
I notice the laptop is extremely hot when the problem started.
Thanks bro

Bros you have answered the question yourself. Laptop is extremely hot.......... Kindly confirm that the processor fan is still working? This can be done by placing your hands on the side of your laptop while it is trying to boot. If the processor fan is no longer working it can cause the extreme heat which can hamper the work of the processor. The symptom you are reporting can happen when the processor isnt working properly.

Kindly involve a technician to resolve this.

I b JJC, didn't know y I went for d linux version of this aser aspire e1-510 e doesn't boot, wanna ask if its possible I upgrade it windows 8. I neva use eye c d desktop atall and it hurts# please any theories

Wale type ls from the command prompt and show me the result. I am guessing it has the base linux OS installed. It is however "upgradable" sha. If I may ask y did you buy the Linux installed Lappy in the first instance sef? well the best solution na to install Windows. Buy Windows licensed OS and put the CD in the CD drive, restart the PC and follow the instructions.

You can install the OS first sha and license it afterwards.

But show me the outcome of the ls command 1st make I see y your initial commands dey come with errors.

Ifebazz:
What I'm asking is, is Windows defender reliable enough, alone?

No Antivirus is 100% full-prove. The only one who can secure your Laptop is YOU. In my opinion the Windows defender is OK as long as you are updating it. I use it and have never had any case of Virus infection. Please be careful how you use your PC, an antivirus will only warn you and also remove Virus according to a Signature that has been downloaded during an update.

YOU ARE THE ULTIMATE PROTECTOR OF YOUR OWN DATA.

taiocol: wat does upgrading frm window xp 2 7/8/vista mean

It mean you are moving from the Microsoft windows XP operating system which is quite old and vulnerable to a more modern and less vulnerable operating system. Vista, 7 and 8 consecutively.

1stly most of the computer parts are actually fake or sub-standard. Be sure to one removed from an already damaged computer. Most of the ones in the market are sub-standard chinko.

Also take a look at your source of electricity.

A new dialogue box "performance options" appears, where you click on VISUAL EFFECTS tab and UNCHECK the option "USE DROP SHADOW FOR ICON LABELS ON THE DESKTOP".
