Amaechi2023:
you kill innocent women and children all because they are Fulanis.
God bless the media for attributing criminal act to a particular tribe, their blood is on the hands of the media.
a killer is a killer irrespective of tribe, stop attributing crime to a particular tribe..

Does the wrapper in the picture look like fulani attire? Give yourself brain

Your uncle needs to see a [b]qualified [/b]dermatologist. It looks like a staph infection. Possibly Folliculitis decalvans. Staph is very strong & not easy to treat, but with good treatment he can cure or manage the infection.

There is a cream for Staph skin infections. In the USA it is called Altabax. He may have to go on generic versions of Accutane. What it does is shrink his pores, so that the bacteria dry out & are killed.

He needs to stop scratching his head. What that does is cause a wound & the staph multiplies. As a result he has a scar & the hair will not grow again.

You people like telling silly lies.

1) Why will the MD of a company have the time to go to another company/organization and conduct a job interview.

2) If you are applying for a job with an organization & it requires an interview with a panel made up of MD's wouldn't you do your research to figure who the top brass in the company are?

Abeg free me with silly "happened to my friend" stories, It's always happening to a "friend", no first hand stories. ...Ends rant, drops mike & walks out........

Bros go online and email the Investment bankers you can find. There are a lot of them in New York City. 10 years ago, when I was seeking career advice, I went online and emailed Nigerian engineering professors, some of them emailed me back, and actually gave great advice. Find them on linkedin as 735i already stated . Always get crucial information from the horses mouth and not from people on this forum, most of which have nothing to say or add to the discussion except for speculation.

Also read this site http://wallstreetplayboys.com/ there's a lot of good advice there although it appeals to an American audience, but you fit take style get the gist of what they are saying and naijarize it to fit your situation.

goaparty: [size=14pt]I am Indian and I have come here to explain to Nigerians about whats going on in India in respect to the millions of Nigerians who now call India their home. There are alot of rubbish comments by some crazy Nigerians here.




I am a student in a large university in India. And over the years, I have made friends with alot of NIgerians who have come to my country to study in a college in my home city. My Nigerain friends are mostly HAUSAS, YORUBAS or FULANI people and they are good god fearing people. They study alot and dont indulge in criminal activities. But according to them there is a tribe in Nigeria called the IBO tribe which is made up of drug dealers, prostitutes, kidnappers and criminals. The main job of this ibo tribe is to go to other countries and carry on their criminal activities. This IBO tribe is mainly responsible for spoiling the name of Nigerians in India and the main reason why Indians are wary of Nigerians today. According to my Nigerian friends this IBO TRIBE is also known for their criminal activities within Nigeria



So coming back the topic,



These guys who died in Goa died in a gang war. thats what happened here.



Come to Goa and see for yourself. all Nigerians here are IBOS and they are all drug dealers. If you want weed, cocaine, ecstasy, opium - just go and find the nearest Nigerian guy. They even pay the police so they dont catch them.



and what happened was a a fight between two rival drug gangs and thats how your so called brother died.



Its not racist, its just the truth. Ask your own Nigerian people and they will tell you.




If you still dont believe me, come to GOA and see for yourself. ALL NIGERIANS HERE ARE DRUG DEALERS. THEN THEY GET INTO GANG WARS AND START ASKING FOR JUSTICE FROM POLICE.[/size]

If you still dont believe me, come to GOA and see for yourself. ALL NIGERIANS HERE ARE DRUG DEALERS. THEN THEY GET INTO GANG WARS AND START ASKING FOR JUSTICE FROM POLICE.

Typical racist crap from an Indian. How can all the Nigerians in Goa be drug dealers? Even if that's true, who are their customers, are they not Indians? your people?

According to my Nigerian friends this IBO TRIBE is also known for their criminal activities within Nigeria

Same way Indians are known for their criminal activities in Nigeria. Same way Indians smell like curry + unwashed armpits+ unwashed a$$h@les---See what I did there? I disparaged a whole race. How does it feel? Your Nigerian friends are silly. Get new friends, while you are it, stop being ignorant & racist.

What tour? Looks like a holiday to me. You people and this idea of grandiosity! Na wa ooooo

“I am still a major in the Nigerian Army, and cannot be dragged into politics especially since I have been out for so long. I don’t think of politics, my major preoccupation now is how to reunite with my profession.”


---This is what Obasanjo and co. have been scared of, Al Mustapha coming back to the military and overthrowing an elected government. He has the northern elite behind him. If Mohammed Abacha runs jingles welcoming you on your return from prison, you know you've got supporters. This man is dangerous.

That picture is from another demonstation. Stop being silly. It's not funny!

Oh boy this picture is too small. I can't see their names. Do you have a bigger picture somewhere, upload it & lets see their names. Thanks!

My guy,

Please don't make the mistake of buying her gifts, taking her on a trip like others have suggested. It will not work. Your woman has lost interest in you, and that's why she's misbehaving.

This is what I'll do

1) Be a man, be alpha. Never be weak. Make decisions, stick by them and don't apologize. Coming to a forum and asking for relationship advice is weakness. Women don't like beta men.

2) Stop arguing with her? what are you arguing about? State your point and move on. Your word is law.

3) When she misbehaves, smack her a$$ and ask why are you misbehaving?

4) Become unpredictable. You are too predictable, she knows you, and acting in a predictable manner does not tingle her vagina. Go out with your friends. If possible shag one or two women on the side temporarily to get your balls back.

5) Stop being weak, you buy presents she rejects you keep buying? She hangs up on you and you tolerate it?

6) You've got to lay down the gauntlet. Marriage is unacceptable as it is, either she improves or she goes home.

Haven't seen game of thrones yet, but SPARTACUS is a god.

Those of you degrading SPARTACUS, pull head from a$$ and use it for once or better yet set hands to task and watch it with a non judgmental mindset.

Na wa o my brother. I couldn't believe it. Corruption don chop deep all across Africa. No excuse for their sloppiness.

http://www.vice.com/ground-zero/mali#ooid=phaW5qYTrVXr01yq8kTW4f_cebmebiCR

The Malian soldiers are brave, but they are horrible at being soldiers. Let's hope this is not how we are fighting Boko Haram.

Couldn't figure out how to embed the video. Somebody help, this is the code.

OK Bluetooth, DayoKanu, Eko Ile, where una dey. This has made frontpage, & y'all are nowhere to be found Una dey fall my hand ooo, I come for entertainment.

Shout out to the Naija Police for catching these scumbags. Hope some Judge does not not free them on some technicality.

Personally, I think it speaks volumes that Things fall apart was a set work in English class at the whites-only high school I attended in apartheid South Africa.
I still enjoy it in subsequent readings. A short book, powered by a quiet fury. Thank you, Chinua Achebe.

alj harem:

one Naira, You sound like one of those that don't even bother to read before replying.

Now here are facts

1. Achebe is a well respected man whether anyone likes it or not. I respect the man's achievement (personal)

2. Achebe's works (writings) are great !

Here is the question

What is Achebe's impact to the life of an average Nigerian ? Did he AT ANY POINT fight or make any impact or even attempt to make the life of any average Nigeria or even Igboman better ? Or he just focused on his writing and his personal acheievement ?

Every educated white person I met asked me If I read "Things Fall Apart", I said yes, they told me they read it in elementary school. In their own languages

Achebe told the truth, he refused awards from crappy Nigerian Leaders

Achebe, Fela, Wole Soyinka, Ken Saro-Wiwa, Gani Fawehinmi, Beko Ransome Kuti, Tai Solarin. truth tellers for ever

This was a reply I wrote to this article a few months ago http://www.ynaija.com/femke-van-zeijl-there-was-a-country-an-outsiders-review/

Achebe was there, Achebe was a Biafran Diplomat. His job was to fly over the world and get support for Biafra. What other primary source do you need?

The Nigerians committed genocide & still do. Google Asaba massacre, then fast forward to modern days, Google Odi, Google Zaki-Biam & see what Obasanjo did there, Check out what the government does to innocent civilians caught up in Boko Haram’s strongholds.

You stated:{{The term genocide implies intent from the perpetrator to destroy a certain group of people. Intent here is the key word: it has to concern an organised and premeditated scheme for destruction. This intent can be proven directly, from orders or plans, or indirectly by pointing out a certain systematic pattern of coordinated acts}}

Then tell me why the Nigerian government refused to give back property that was abandoned in Lagos by the Igbos when they felt unsafe and ran for their lives. Ask why trade in second hand clothes was banned. Igbos dominated in that trade? Ask why the Nigerian Government felt the need to reduce every Igbo man’s account to 20 pounds. Imagine having millions in the bank and then being reduced to 20 dollars. A lot of rich Igbo men died as a result. Isn’t this financial genocide?

Awolowo was finance minister, if you think he had nothing to do with this diabolical scheme then you don’t know how powerful a finance minister can be. Look at Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala. Every major decision Nigeria takes today, she is involved.

I leave you with the words of Wole Soyinka

“Writing in certain environments carries with it an occupational risk. When I was imprisoned, without trial, it was as a result of a position I took as a citizen. Of course I used my weapon, which was writing, to express my disapproval of the [Biafran] civil war into which we were about to enter. These were people who’d been abused, who’d undergone GENOCIDE, and who felt completely rejected by the rest of the community, and therefore decided to break away and form a nation of its own”.

I don’t expect you to understand the idiosyncrasies about the war, but Achebe was there. The only other folks that know what happened are Gowon, Obasanjo, Danjuma, and one day, they are going to talk.

Yorubas are taught to worship Awolowo, and they are the ones who are telling you your review is nice & balanced because it fits their world view.[quote]

[quote] I don’t think one can be dispassionate about Biafra, you chose a side and deal with the disenchantment that follows. My major qualms with her review is asking Achebe to base his “personal history on biafra”on research, which is most likely a European or American’s research. This is kind of like Hillary Clinton writing a book about the Obama years, and someone saying “Oh Hillary your book is not based on research”, she was there, she was in every major decision room, She was in that control room when Bin Laden was killed.

Back to Achebe, “He was chosen to chair the newly formed National Guidance Committee, charged with the task of drafting principles and ideas for the post-war era” http:///c36N5X meaning he chaired the committee that was drafting the constitution in Umuahia (seat of the Biafran Government) . How much more primary can that be, Achebe and co. wrote the constitution

To deny Genocide was committed is to do what Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran says about Israel. That :the Holocaust needs to be investigated”.

The truth is other ethnic groups in Nigeria are envious of Igbos and are scared of Igbo domination even up till today. They make side comments like “Igbos love money, & will do anything for money” etc. Igbos are industrious, and rebuilt Igbo land without Government help. Igbos are type A, and are pure hustlers whether it’s education or doing business. African Americans are still claiming they are suffering the effects of slavery 400 years later and that slavery is still slowing down their progress.

Awolowo did what he felt he had to do to subjugate the race and keep them down. This was an economic and political solution. Everyone of them was scared of Igbo domination.

In Northern Nigeria, Igbos and middle belters are slaughtered anytime something went wrong in the muslim world. This has been going on for the past 25 years. Case in point the Miss World controversy where some silly journalist stated Mohammed would not be upset Nigeria is hosting the event, and that he will even chose a wife from the contestants. Muslim Terrorists up North went wild and started killing Christians mostly Igbos, The State Governors and Muslim clerics will come out, give their silly speech about Islam being a religion of peace, & then nothing comes out of it. The killers are not prosecuted, and everything dies down to the next round of violence.

However, they are doing it to themselves now, isn’t Boko Haram targeting mostly Northerners, when they blow up Maiduguri, are they targeting Igbos? they recently killed Retired General Shuwa, now all the State Governors & Senators are scrambling to find a solution, because economic activities in the North have come to a standstill, at a precarious time when power has shifted to the South.

There is no understanding. You censored me because you did not like what I had to say. The right thing to do, is to show my posts, and let the potential programming newbie judge for themselves. They are old enough to decide for themselves, and do not need you to hold their hand or give them the impression that there is only one path.

I don't know why the moderator hid my posts? Isn't it a free speech forum?

Anyways this is a helpful infographic for anyone who wants to learn programming. https://www.udemy.com/blog/modern-language-wars/
You will have to scroll down a little, then click to launch the infographic.

lordZOUGA: but just know that if you don't learn how to write desktop apps as a beginner and somehow convince yourself that you will learn later. believe me, later you will start looking for a php interpreter that will make your php codes work on desktop or you will start trying to convince people(like the op is doing) to believe that desktop apps are useless.

When the time comes, we'll hire them. We'll hire them the way we hire Doctors, Mechanics, Lawyers, Nurses, Butchers etc. We'll hire them for their expertise. They'll make the codes work on the desktop.

Just to clarify, Even though, I said C++ is dying, I have changed my position, it's not dying . I never said C++ is useless, I acknowledged its' strengths in a previous post, at the same time I recognize its' limitations. That's what you refuse to do.

I honestly think C++ is not for a Naija beginner. Once we solve our last mile internet problem, then Web apps will gain more steam.

Of course I noticed they had some HTML, CSS, and Javascript in there. All I had to to was right click and view Source . You just reinforced my point. I can build a website that looks better and functions as well as what they have with the tools I currently have. So why would I want to use C++ to design websites?

There's no need to argue, Keeping working for the Desktop, I'll Keep working for the Web & Mobile apps.

kambo: anoda daft post by somebody who wants to say c,c++ is dead.
....'
what would happen when mozilla, etc require engineers to update /rewrite their
internal engines!! (hire php kids !)as more entrants begin at the top of the stack, no thanks to the kind of plentiful
advice from "experts" that the[b] middle tier language is not the issue , they'll be less available experts in these "dead" languages!!
result. when the middle tier software needs "upgrading" top bucks will have to be paid to attract those rare/obsolete /middle aged talents.
- its already happening.[/b]

I don't want to make money when I am rare/obsolete/middle aged. I want it now that my johnny is still working

kambo: go the way of the enterprenuer!? anoda joke . are u a software enterprenuer!? -or you just quipping.
being a worker is no foolishness,they're folks making good money being employees. be realistic. 90% of the labour force in the working world are employees!!.
think on that.

Why is being an entrepreneur a joke? Being realistic is going to chain you to a desk job for 30 years like the 90%, and then if you are lucky, you get a wristwatch and sincere thanks. All because you were realistic.

Creatrixity: My opinion..I disagree with zebudaya's concept of compiled languages usage dying out.For example,C++ is good for writing general purpose apps across a wide range of devices.
The problems with working with c++ for beginners is,you do not get many jobs on a regular basis and you are chained to a salary but when that paycheck comes,it's gonna be big..There is definitely no end in sight for desktop app development.
In summary,as a beginner,you may stick with your web app development but always try to diversify..

God Bless you Bro, that's all I'm saying. This is an incomplete list of kids who graduated from Y combinator http://yclist.com/ Most of them created web apps. A Nigerian kid who spends time learning C++ is not going to find work with Mozilla, Apple or the government. They are better off learning script languages and some HTML, CSS, Jquery, Javascript, Photoshop and Illustrator, and how to write apps for Android, Blackberry, IOS & Windows Phone When they get done with these, they can learn C++ if they need to. That's the easier route.

These folks are encouraging new programmers to learn C++, so they can build desktop apps, where in Naija? Naija that dudes who make 19,000 Naira a month own Blackberries and are eager to download apps?

lordZOUGA: @zebudaya, for some reason you refuse to accept that C++ can also be used for web and mobile app development. this site was created with C++ http://webtoolkit.eu

that facebook was written in php only means that it was written in php. it could have been written in python or ruby or even C++.

it all boils down to how efficient you are in solving a given problem. programmers with money on their mind tend to be a very sloppy and impatient lot.

why not just tell programmers to quit programming and go into computer village and start selling hardwares.

http://webtoolkit.eu is nice, but not very elegant, I just had an idea and made this, this afternoon. http://mybeautifulnaija.tumblr.com/ Not from scratch of course, but If I invest a few hours, I can customize the front end to my liking especially with CSS and Jquery. It's going to be as functional as the webtoolkit.eu site, but look better. As long as its functional. Everything is Judged by how it looks. C++ does not have enough libraries & support for building websites, and you know that.

[quote author=halimat1985]

The poster has declared his champion in case you have not read it. FYI picking a winner and picking a champion is not so different.

The answer to your questions.

Halimat can I have your email addy? you seem very knowledgeable about the Naija e-Commerce scene, I'm studying it now, and may have questions in the future. You can reach me at micendowed{at}gmaildotcom

lordZOUGA: I think the industry is moving towards a point where desktop apps and mobile apps are going to be one. that is the future.

do you know the average paycheck of a C/C++ developer?
which awesome mobile app was written in python and php?
do you know that part of the dev language for blackberry 10 is C/C++? and that of android is java?

@zebudaya, you do not seem to be a developer because if you are, you would not have made this statement "they
need to learn server language"
what the heck is a "server language"?

people like you are threats to Nigerian IT space. go and get experience before making this kind of post on an online forum.

be advised.

When I say server language, I mean server-side scripting language.

PHP (Like Facebook.com)
Python (like Nairaland.com)
Ruby (like shopify.com) framework (basecamp)


You know what I mean, you just want to pick. You can insult me all you want, and state that I am not a programmer, that's cool. Steve Jobs was not, Jeff Bezos from Amazon is not.

You said Blackberry 10 is written in C++. That's true, does one need to know C++ to write an app for Blackberry,Android, or IOS?

Desktop software is dying. They are going to be one with the mobile and web apps, Learn fast or be a dinosaur.

lordZOUGA: people like you are threats to Nigerian IT space. go and get experience before making this kind of post on an online forum.

be advised.

I'm a threat to the establishment who refuse to go with the times and insist on doing the same thing over and over again. Nigeria's IT space is weak, yet we are highly educated.

WhiZTiM: haha.... ..lol. @Zouga, zebudaya, javanian and ciphoenix...
I think Zebudaya is a quick-cash and a myopic *programmer or web guy. . .

@zouga, ... Wanting to make quick cash from programming is totally a bad idea. Also...

Whatever language you choose, you can use it to make solid impacts in its relevant domain... and in today's world...

Why study C++ and be chained to a salary your whole life? Learn something else and make entrepreneur money. The time for being a starving artist/broke programmmer is over. C++ is powerful, but it has weaknesses. That you don't really use it in writing web and mobile apps is a major flaw.

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/417816/how-popular-is-c-for-making-websites-web-applications

Regardless programmers please post a link to your work, The time for making noise on Nairaland is over.

I apologize if I came off as rude, but I de lie? You wake up, get to your computer or phone and launch a browser. How many *modern* PC apps do you launch a day? Not trying to be rude, but I don't think you should tell a beginner to learn stuff for the desktop when the money is in web and mobile apps!, they need to learn server language and how to manipulate databases.

The only modern program written in C++ that I use consistently is Spotify, check out this article http://www.engadget.com/2012/11/15/spotify-confirms-web-app-in-the-works-currently-in-closed-beta/ others are Adobe, and Microsoft, those are legacy companies.

I want the young hustlers to run to where the ball is going to be, not where it was.
