pls ARRANGE YOUR POST JARE...... who will read this scattered EPISTLE

Hope you are okay with it now

As a student, it is possible you are thinking that getting a
good grade is all that matters (because that’s what you have
been made to believe). So you work hard, put in the needed
effort just to see that you achieve that. Well, that’s good
but what you may not know is that getting a formal
education is different from getting a life.
I know you are planning to get a good job and have a
successful life. The thing is that, for you to achieve that,
you have to face the real world. It will test you. This kind
of test is different from the one you take in school. As you
may not have learnt much about the real world. I want to
point out here 5 things every student must bear in mind
before your graduation.

1. A Good Degree Does Not Guarantee A Good Job,
Your Brain And Skills Do
To get a degree certificate is good but gone are the days
when jobs will be waiting for you the moment you leave
school as a graduate. What matters in the job market today
is what you can offer; what you can do.
There are thousands of unemployed people with same level
of degree that you have. What do you think that will
differentiate you and give you the needed edge, if not your
skills and your ability to think and solve issues? You never
can tell, that skill you consider menial can earn you more
than your degree and certificate could possibly earned you.
I have a pretty long list of people who aren’t employed or
earning a dime with their certificates but are fully employed
and earning big with one skill or the other they picked up
along the line.
Look out for practical skills in your field of discipline and
learn all you can. It does not even have to be just in your
area of discipline. Believe me, in the real world you need
the hard skills (e.g Proficiency in a foreign language,
Computer programming etc) as well as the soft skills (e.g
Communication, Time Management, Team work etc) to
succeed.

2. Your “A”s in School Will Not Necessarily Translate
To Success In The Real World
Robert Kiyosaki (one of the world’s richest entrepreneurs)
once told a story about what happened during his senior
year in high school. He and one of his close friends named
Mike were lined up in front of a small group of students
made up primarily of the leaders (bright students) of their
class. Their guidance counselor turned to him and Mike and
said, “The two of you will never amount to anything,”
primarily because they were doing terribly poor
academically.
Few years after graduation Robert and Mike went for their
High School Reunion and Guess what? the so called class
leaders were still struggling and had not become successful
in the years after high school. Where as Robert and his
friend, Mike are already successful big time entrepreneurs.
Success in life is a product of the application of success
principles. And unfortunately they don’t teach you that in
school. You need to self-educate yourself on that. Go
beyond pursuing good grades and take time to develop
yourself. Never run from what you need to learn. Learn and
apply the principles of success (they are universal) in all
you do and you will succeed.

3. Who You Know Is As Important As What You know
What you know may be enough to get you through school.
However, in the real world, who you know is as important
as what you know. Now, don’t get it twisted. I am not
trying to say that without connections, you will not be
successful and live the good life you dream of. I am only
saying that with the right connections the process would be
easier and shorter. Therefore you need to build and
maintain the right connections and learn to leverage on
them when need be. So have it in mind that your skills and
knowledge are important but then so are the people you
know. Bottom line: The two are important to your success.

4. One Of The Most Important Things You Need To
Manage Well Is Money
In the real world Money is an important tool. It’s going to
feed you, puts clothes on your back, and puts a roof over
your head. You may not really know the value of money
probably because you have always received it from friends
and family without really working for it.
Yeah, you have that privilege now but you won’t in the
nearest future. If you do not learn how to manage it now
you may likely end up broke and in debt when you face the
real world and trust me, it won’t be funny at all.
When it comes to managing money I have three rules for
you: Save it! Invest it! Multiply it!

5. True Success Does Not Happen In A Flash
True Success is not by accident. It involves process. It is an
accumulation of certain habits and principles practiced
within a stretch of time. The road to true success is often
bumpy. It takes time. Little wonder many usually try to use
a “shortcut” by getting involved in shady lifestyles. That
will only be counter-productive
in the long run. The only way I know to hasten success is to
have a PHD. I guess you are wondering what that means?
Well, it simply means Passion, Hunger and Drive. And
don’t equally forget to put God at the center of it all.
Thanks for reading this.. See you all at the Top!!!

dhtml18:

Funny dude. You need to host the whole setup on a live server before packaging your APK.


You have already created your database called dhtml i believe? Then create a table called chat inside the database,
and add the fields id, sender,msg into it. (follow the guides in the screenshots here)

I have attached the entire screenshots to this post (which includes how to create the database properly)


That one will be a thread for another day. But it must be tagged EXPERT because there are all sort of things to it. Maybe I shall make a tutorial like that one day sha, it is just hard to carry everyone along.


As a matter of fact, in the real life chat app that i built, i saved the chats into the app locally using SQLite which is an embedded database that works very well with android, ios, even php and several other platforms.

wats d name of d chat app

KINGSULAIMAN:
I realy want to go into IT stuffs,any advice for a starter.

if buy IT u mean web development ...
u either become a front- end webdeveloper or backend web developer or both(if u v got courage and time)
stuffs u need to learn if u want to become a :
FRONTEND WEB DEVELOPER: html , css,
javascript, jquery(makes javascript coding
easy), and if i u want to be very independent
learn WEBDESIGN(optional) etc...
BACKEND WEB DEVELOPER: php(for
programming), mysql (for database), PYTHON
(for programming&optional), POSTGRESQL( for
database) , ASP.NET(for programming
&optional)etc

if u want to develop mobile app den u will need to learn

java for building android apps
c++ for building ios app
and u can also learn web html,css javascript and u package them with phonegap so dat it will b installable on either android, iphone, blackberry or windows phones

Drizzle007:
I sincerely what a mentor in this... Just started learning Web design. Pls holla on whatsapp. 0807 643 5502

all d best,... please keep an open mind it might b confusing at first but u ll find it easy if u r persistent

Seunvense:
What is the different between web designing and web developing?

Web design is closely related to Graphics design(infact its a sub discipline of graphics design) because you dont need to learn codes all u need is an eye for design, knowledge of design principles (eg Harmony, Balance, Proportion etc) and use of design elements (color, line shape etc), and u can design a website in photoshop or corel draw.

WEB DEVELOPMENT ON D ODA HAND REQUIRES CODING SKILLS. Web development requires knowledge of HTML, CSS, JAVASCRIPT, PHP, etc..
it is divided into 2 ; frontend and backend.

FRONT-END web development involves languages like HTML&CSS(compulsory) ,JAVASCRIPT, JQUERY etc. it involves d coding of what d user sees on their browser. A FRONT END WEB DEVELOPER TRANSLATES A WEB-DESIGN into codes for d browser to understand.

BACKEND webdevelopment involves knowlege of programs like PHP,MYSQL,etc. if u know dis den u r a WEB PROGRAMMER and u will b able to build social networks, ecommerce websites, site similar to facebook, nairaland etc(but u av to b good)

NOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
so many pple confuse FRONT-END WEB DEVELOPMENT with WEB DESIGN. they are 2 different disciplines. IF SOMEONE promises to teach u web design and in ur first week u learnt HTML AND CSS he/she is teaching u WEB DEVELOPMENT(frontend) not web design.

though it is advisable that you as a front end web developer av knowledge of web design(graphics) so that u will b able to code beautiful,neat website.

lastly

stuffs u need to learn if u want to become a :
WEB DESIGNER: design principles and elements, web layout, photoshop,coreldraw(optional)
FRONTEND WEB DEVELOPER: html , css, javascript, jquery(makes javascript coding easy), and if i u want to be very independent learn WEBDESIGN(optional) etc...
BACKEND WEB DEVELOPER: php(for programming), mysql (for database), PYTHON(for programming&optional), POSTGRESQL( for database) , ASP.NET(for programming &optional)etc


LEARN ALL OF D ABOVE and u ll be called a FULL STACKED WEB DEVELOPER....

ALL THE BEST....

OPEYEMIAD:
Hmmmm Thanks for the good Job

Please Jquery is confusing, is like a source code when i download it. Do i need jquery in any chart application? can i write jquery code on my own?
thanks

jquery is a javascript library (makes javascript coding easier). YES u can write jquery codes but u MUST link ur html document to d jquerycode u downloaded cos dats d only way ur own jquery code will work... u ll love jquery wen u eventually master it cos it makes javascript CODING easier ,faster and less confusing.

OPEYEMIAD:

It work very well for me, i can convert it to mobile app but how do i go about the database i.e how do i link it to database when fully converted to .apk file? Do i need to host it
Hope my database will not full consider the lenght of chart?

@opeyemaid javascript has a local storage feature which you can use to store chats locally on d users device(eg phone). and its very easy to use

Hi nairalanders, for the success of your business by having and promoting a business website. Would you patronise a service that allows you to pay just 200 naira per month for the creation and hosting of your business.
creat once for free and pay 200 naira/month for putting the website online. instead of paying large amount of money to web designers and web hosts.
Please will you patronise such a SERVICE

You have the freedom to move around, freedom to go to parties, freedom to date whoever you want because you are still a free citizen. Prisoners don't have those privileges but they do have one freedom now; freedom to write WAEC.
About 43 prisoners were presented with their WAEC result on friday at the Kuje Medium Prison at the Federal Capital Territory (FCT). They sat for the exam in November/December last year and it was funded by a non-governmental agency called NUGA best.
At the occasion of the presentation of the result to the inmates, it was also stated that about 33 inmates have gained admission to National Open university of Nigeria(NOUN).
I guess we are getting to a point in this country where prisioners will be treated like those in developed countries(you know, the good food and all.)

Whats your opinion about the freedom to write WAEC exmination in Nigerian Prisons?

gbanikiti: You agree with NewNigeriaMind, yet you disapprove his point. I don't get that. He should first admit he's wrong and thus learn. The thread is to Educate people like him. Thanks

I agreed with him partially but not fully and I stated my reasons...
@gbankiti mistakes makes us humans(thats why we are not perfect like God). When you want to point out someone mistake, try not making another mistake by criticizing them. the best you can do is provide a solution to their mistake. You think he is wrong but yet he thinks he is right(nothing you say is going to make him change his mind; thats every human nature). Take a look at things from his own perspective and also from your own perspective look at the similarities and differences. Agree with the similarities and state reasons why you also disagree( with the differences) don't say he is wrong
I believe if we start settling our differences this way there will be no tribalism and development will be the next way foward( not civil war or breakup)

NewNigeriaMind: The OP is definitely out for mischief because from all indications after independence in 1960, the south west already has university college Ibadan and Yaba college of Technology. Azikwe being an Igbo man and being the person he is felt there is a need to have another university in the east since most people before then from the east that had education was educated in Ibadan.

Nobody ever agrued which university was the first federal university. Just like we all know UNIVERSITY OF IBADAN IS THE FIRST UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA.

Since we all know this fact, I beg to ask the question:

WHAT IS THE ESSENCE OF THIS THREAD.

I AGREE WITH YOU NEWNIGERIAMIND . THIS POST IS POINTLESS BUT AGAIN IT SEEMS TO EDUCATE PEOPLE WHO DON'T KNOW THAT THE FIRST UNIVERSITY FOUNDED BY THE NIGERIAN GOVERNMENT IS UNN.
FACT AND HISTORY STATES THAT UI IS THE FIRST UNIVERSITY IN NIGERIA(WE DON'T CARE WHO ESTABLISHED IT BUT IT HAD THE FIRST NIGERIAN UNDERGRADUATE ON HOMESOIL)

LETS NOT ALWAYS TALK ABOUT TRIBALISM COS ITS A DISTRACTION TO DEVELOPMENT. THERE WILL ALWAYS BE TRIBALISTIC PEOPLE AROUND(FACT) BUT WE SEEK TRUE DEVELOPMENT,PROGRESS AND UNITY WE NEED MAJORITY OF NIGERIANS TO SHUN TRIBALISM.(ITS NT HELPING AND IT WILL NEVER HELP)

Guykhena: Niggas invent new methods everyday,like the dude in the pic below....

oboi this 1 bad o

paranorman: Out of the total money on her, Kelly took 20% off with her and left over the rest at home on her way to the market. On getting to the market, she saw a radio she liked but found out its price (initial) on its manufacturer's list was 25% higher than what she took to the market. So she thought she could work something out with the seller but was disappointed when told the list got old, prices were adjusted due to inflation and the radio could only be sold at a price which was 50% of her left-over at home; this price was a mark-up of 14 whole and 2/7 % on the original price the seller should have sold it and make a decent profit.

The difference between the original price and initial price is what percent of total money Kelly had?

What percent of the profit is the mark-up price?

my teacher no remember teach me this one

luvlyoracle: hav gotten my 9gb on my 3 mtn simcards.
