It appears to me that the solution to our problem is restructuring. However, if this is not possible in the short term then southerners need to reorganize and better our politics.

Force the country into a two party system by spinning off a southern middle belt party (SMBP) or give it a less conspicuous name. This would represent everything the south wants within the federal system - peace, fiscal federalism, state police?, freedom of and of religion, free speech etc.

Almagamate the entire political structure of the South into one political party - the same way the south of US is a republican stronghold.


The north would be forced to spin off a political party to counter the south. But it won't mean much if we can get the kwara, kogi, plateau on board and get greater control on who the president would be and battle NASS to standstill until our agenda passes.

[/b]Until the three political zones down south can fuse into one strong political structure the northern oligarchy would keep playing tennis with our heads.

The North already foresaw this happening. So even if the south gets some middle belt states, it will just amount to a parity. The north has more states, more local governments. The north is bigger by one state. The south is short by one state... In that region which everyone seems to hate. And the south isn't even ready to support that region to have an additional state. So...

Smile! Like na so we coward for this Southern Nigeria self. No wonder most slaves were from Southern Nigeria. Like how many Northerners Oyibo fit buy. Like am I missing something?

Yes, you are missing something. They were taken as slaves by the Arabs. And theirs was far more brutal as they were castrated in order not to procreate. The females were sex slaves. Your first prime minister was a freed slave.

Hey guys, I just learned that Cloudflare gives free SSL.

airsaylongcome:
Depends on the size of the server you deploy and the location of that server. Tiny 1GB servers located in the US for example can cost $6 per day.

Thanks.

airsaylongcome:
GCP any day although I've also used Alibaba. Primarily because of the free $300.

How long does it take to consume the free credits they give? Do they use to do ojoro like mtn dem?

naijasensei:
As I said, the infrastructure is unmanaged - so you install what you will use. The commands are actually universal. For example, after installing an OS (most likely a Linux distribution) the commands are pretty standard across board. You will use SSH to actualise your intentions.

Wow thanks. So if I learn AWS, there's no need learning GCP or DO?

niel63:
DigitalOcean for me anytime, any day. However, I have used AWS and GCP in the past.

And yeah you need to learn to use your CLI. It is very important and just as someone mentioned above, DO is unmanaged so you'll need to know some CLI basics.

CLI is fun and easy if you get used to it.

Can you tell us the differences ,and what exactly made you to finally pitch your tent with DO?

Yes the command line is very important, easy and makes one look cool and geeky. I have no plans of skipping that aspect.

naijasensei:
For your own good, I will advice you to learn how to use the command line. Why? There are sometimes when the UI might get unexpectedly stuck, and you might have no other choice but to use the CLI. Also, DO is mainly an unmanaged IaaS provider, so you are expected to know your way around.

I do use the CLI. It doesn't intimidate me at all. What I meant is that the UI will save me time from learning the commands for DO. I'm suspect that the commands syntax vary from platform to platform, and for any platform you choose, you've got to learn their stuff. So instead of staying stagnant while learning DO's commands, I can deploy and manage my app with the UI, while gradually learning the commands of DO CLI.

naijasensei:
I use DigitalOcean to host all my apps, which happen to be Laravel apps. My primary motivation for choosing DO was their affordable pricing, although I also like the almost endless configuration options available.

I have my eyes set on DO too. I also heard that they have UI for everything which will save one time from having to learn their CLI commands.

Karleb:
When I wanted to host my portfolio website wey I never finish netlify gave me few problems but I ported to vercel and it worked one time. I'm using the free tier though.

@OP why do you want IAAS specifically?

For Laravel app, I think Forge or Digital ocean will do just fine. Forge was built by Taylor so it's a good choice for Laravel. It's cheap, I've never used it though.

I doubt if they are IAAS though. More like PAAS.

Thanks for your input. To answer your question, Actually I'm new to cloud architecture, and the more I learn about it, the more I encounter all these terms. I hardly know the difference between PaaS and IaaS, Although I know about SaaS. I used to use shared hosting but I am very certain that my needs have gone beyond that level.

I have gone into the themes and plugins market and I chose Laravel to power my website. But I am currently stuck at the variety of options before me, and also because I do not want to go through the hassle of migrating to another cloud.

tensazangetsu20:
I use netlify. It's the best for jamstack applications. Headless wordpress configurations. It watches for changes from my GitHub and my hosted wordpress website and makes changes automatically as things are updated. There's also the issue with redirects and sitemaps which Netlify handles very well.

Thanks. Which would you recommend for a Laravel application?

AWS, Google Cloud, Cloudflare, Linode, CircleCi, Digital Ocean, etc. All are cloud service providers, but which particular provider do you use? And why do you use it? What are the very things that influenced your decision? Things like Price, Options, Configurability, Flexibility, Simplicity, User Interface, etc.

And what cloud service provider do you think is best for a Laravel application? I am thinking of using Digital Ocean. Nairaland seems to be running on Cloudflare. Seun, why Cloudflare?

Also, any tips on deployment, server management, stacks to use (ex. Docker, Forge, etc), will be very appreciated.

One of the simple ways everyone can take part in the fight against open grazing of cattle and the attendant violence and destruction is by NOT BUYING MEAT until further notice.

You won't die if you don't eat red meat, but you and many others can reduce the motivation of the cattle herders to rear cattle in your area.

Buy so doing, you can save the lives and farm investment of innocent hardworking Nigerians whose farms are waiting to be ravaged and destroyed.

By that little act, you can help stop the problem of food scarcity caused by the fear of farmers for farming and the destruction of their farms.

You are a civilian, but you can stop patronizing BLOOD meat, and financing our common enemy.

This is not the only step we have to take, but it is one of many strategies for fighting a common enemy who depends on us for patronage.

Let's boycott red meat until further notice. We won't die.

They are now into kidnapping, raising money for Boko Haram and iswap. Boycotting beef is no longer the solution.

You would rather I crossed an express road with my eyes closed??

I love this quote.

pocohantas:
Try hard work, smart work and connection.

I do not believe anyone would suddenly become rich because he/she goes to church, is a believer and pays tithes.

Things may work together for your good during that period and you’ll convince yourself it is because you just paid your tithe.

Chai logical babes are very scarce. See logicality bikonu. And my babe here dey talk pastor this pastor that.

Ordinary bvn you can't do with a recycled SIM because there's already a bvn attached to the number.

The worst part is that you can link your bank account with the same recycled number that already has another bvn attached to it because the bank officials simply don't bother to check.

With this nin of a stuff, it's going to be one hell of a ride.

Well, he did ask that they spend the rest of their lives together. And yes, she said Yes. Come later this month, they both shall be walking down d aisle

Dear kessington and Dave,
you both started from the bottom now you're here.

Here's wishing you both the best marital bliss has to offer. Your marriage shall be a blessing, you shall see your children's children.

Cheers to a lifetime of happiness

The first picture reminds me of red and black trees in data structures.

To have a focus, and to keep discussions in the group minimal and to the point, the group is going to be project based.

That means if you have a project, you can source for help from the group and get more hands on.

You will always work faster, easier, and better when you work with people, compared to working alone.

Baba how far the Whatsapp group? I hail.

Modified... OK.. Can see you created it on telegram. Don't mind me, I have a tab opened from your profile in order to read all your posts especially those related to tech. That's where I saw the quoted post.

TechyMm0:



This Seyi Makinde and Obaseki are very similar, they harras you with thugs in secret and come out to form Gentle Technocrat in the open

They secretly go after party structure with state funds and come out to feign ignorance when the Party structures start having crisis

They use state law to seize and demolish Political opponents home while forming rule of law

Am so glad the same Makinde that Fayose strongly backed and supported is now making him useless in Southwest PDP and using thugs to intimidate him and the sweetest part is APC government don't even mind if thugs kill and kidnap Fayose
