bro I’m not new to tech and I’m currently in the US
I am not a coder or programmer but I love innovation and I’m currently working on one in the edtech space. I’ve got 3000 pre sign which validate it demand. My question in as much on everything you stated, we still developers who re doing well, like those who are currently working with foreign client and get paid in hard currency. Can’t they come together and out in resources together and build an ecosystem to scale different ideas?. Elon and his pals that created PayPal are all programmers who came together and put resource together to fund it and today they’re all doing well, elon is an example. Bro we can do it and it not had

First i will like to appreciate the points you raised above in your post. My contribution to this is we need to understand creativity is hard generally and i mean real creativity. It is about connecting dots.When the dots form a shape you have a brain child,i am talking about building home grown solution to our challenges in Africa and Nigeria specifically. But thinking is hard that's why many don't think. A disturbing statistics says that only 5% of the world population truly thinks, 15% think they are thinking and 80% would rather watch the TV than think. This factor alone is responsible for the many excuses we give for lack of creativity in this part of the world.
it is true that we are faced with problems of infrastructure, diathetic electricity, bad government policies, unfavorable economic conditions, etc. but this is not the whole truth as many great companies and industries rose in the most difficult times. As youths we need draw inspirations from others because the secrets of men are in their stories. China have a 20 years plan to be as the USA.We need Inspiration. Creativity is actually 99% inspiration and 1% perspiration. We can move forward looking at our obstacles. A wise man once said obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes waw from our goals. Creativity won't drop on our laps we have to take definite conscious steps.
Another problem i see among us is lack of business sense and perspective.Yes we have developers,engineers,scientists, etc. Many don't have the necessary knowledge to build something off the ground hence the reason thousands are chasing hundred jobs causing high unemployment rate. Man creatives still to undertake studies on subjects such as marketing, raising money,intellectual property,building visionary companies, reading financial statement, taxes, etc. Entrepreneurship skills are less taught in schools
Also many don't want to make mistakes but a fundamental rule of creativity is fail fast fail forward, it is a process and God too when through it in Genesis 1. Google has so many failed projects than the successful ones.
We need to take this challenge and come up with unique solutions to the problems facing us in this part of the world.Many solution we are employing currently are not as effective they borrowed from white guys but that it is white does not mean it is right and black is not synonymous to lack. The human brain is the same number of cells, same size no matter the race or color.From fact, no man on earth till date has used up to 5% of his brain. I challenge every one of you today to be creative no matter your state or level. See yourself as a solution.


Today i work with two startups one in the edtech and the other i am not allowed to mentioned. We are 70% on the journey without any investor yet not that we don't need investors but we also need to do our homework first

GeniusHawlah:
Do they still select kings with Oracle now?

Or MongoDB has taken over?

The now query it with nestjs at the backend and nextjs at the frontend to get who will be the next king

Xtfield:
Please folks, I need an offline CBT for my school students. Anyone into such stuff should please mail me: [email protected]
Thank you

If you school is based in Nigeria we can come for a presentation so you see our solutions in the educational sector. Book a space and be listed among selected institutions for our presentations.

airsaylongcome:
Okay. And when you say offline, care to explain a bit? One that runs on a local server in your school (without access to the internet)? Where the students access the CBT software using computers on your local Lan? Do you know how to install web-based software on a local Lan? (web-based does not mean internet hosted)

Am not against your solution but there are issues with it:
1. using a local host will mean investing in more hardware infrastructure over time
2. The same cbt solution will not be usable for other purpose such as home work assessment where student can practice at home
3. No single source of truth as data is scattered on different computers. The list goes on.........

Rather than using a localhost I will at worst use indexdb for offline storage and if questions are needed for future purpose the it should sync with an online database or convert the questions to a pdf file and make it able

To add to this thread! I am cofounder of an edtech. One of our solutions is a cbte(Computer Based Test and Exam) software. It is accessible on desktop,mobile and web. Exams are not accessible on mobile only mock test or take home assessment. Questions could be text, picture, voice or video. You can also generate questions using AI,etc. It has a tons of features; monitoring,analysis,etc. It works offline and sync for organisation and educational institutions who have subscription with us. To ensure exam takers don't exit the app(especially on desktop) it is fullscreen mode when the questions are set for exams. I believe the features I listed above should help you, even if you going to be a competition!

Let’s Take Control: Why Can’t We Build Our Own Websites and Host Them from Home?

In today’s fast-paced digital world, businesses, developers, and even hobbyists are heavily reliant on external web hosting services—whether it's shared hosting, Virtual Private Servers (VPS), or dedicated servers. However, the idea of building our own system and hosting websites directly from our own machines is something that deserves a deeper discussion.

Why can’t we take control of our own digital space and build a custom server for hosting our websites from home? Why do we have to rely on companies like Amazon, GoDaddy, or Bluehost to handle all our hosting needs? Shouldn't we, as a community, explore the possibilities of creating and configuring our own servers, controlling the entire process, and making our websites available to the world directly from our own systems?
Reclaiming Control Over Our Digital Space

We live in a world where hosting a website has become incredibly easy, thanks to countless hosting providers offering services that range from shared plans to powerful dedicated servers. But with that convenience, we also hand over a significant amount of control to these providers.

Let’s be honest for a moment: Have we ever stopped to think about what we’re really giving up? Security concerns, limited customization, and the fact that we often have to pay a recurring fee for the privilege of having our website online—these are just some of the challenges we face. On top of that, many web hosting services limit us on how much we can scale or configure. These limitations often make it difficult to achieve the exact solution we want.

That’s why I believe it’s time we consider building our own servers and hosting our websites locally, bying the need for third-party hosting altogether. By doing this, we can have complete control over our systems, configurations, and even cost. Imagine being able to configure your server exactly the way you want, ensuring that it meets all of your needs, from security to performance and even customization.
The Power of Hosting from Home

When you think about it, there’s something empowering about being able to host your website from the comfort of your own home. Here’s why we should seriously consider taking that step:

Cost-Efficiency: Hosting websites on external servers often comes with ongoing fees. Whether you’re paying monthly or annually, you are essentially renting server space that belongs to someone else. By hosting your website from home, we cut out these costs entirely. With the right setup, you can keep your infrastructure in-house, eliminating recurring bills to external hosting companies.

Total Control: One of the biggest frustrations with using shared hosting or even VPS is the lack of control. You’re often restricted by the configurations provided by the hosting company. This means if you need something special—whether it’s a unique configuration for your database, a custom environment for your application, or even just specific PHP settings—you have to wait or pay for a higher-tier service. By hosting your website at home, you gain full control of the server, ensuring it fits your exact needs.

Learn and Innovate: Hosting from home doesn’t just save money or give you control—it also provides you with a hands-on learning experience. If you’ve ever wanted to delve deeper into server management, networking, or even security protocols, hosting your own site is the perfect opportunity. You get to understand everything that goes into running a website, from setting up Apache to managing firewall rules. You’ll be in charge of every step of the process.

Customization and Flexibility: Let’s face it—hosting companies often have their own set of pre-configured environments that don’t always match what we want. Maybe you need specific PHP extensions or different versions of MySQL. Maybe you need more U power or RAM than they offer. When hosting from home, the sky's the limit in of how much you can tweak and customize your environment.

Privacy and Security: External hosting services come with their own risks—like data breaches, outages, and even misuse of your data. Hosting your website from home gives you the ability to implement your own security protocols. With the right setup, you can ensure your website is more secure than relying on a third-party provider. Of course, you’ll need to be diligent in setting up firewalls, using encryption, and regularly updating your systems—but that’s all part of taking full responsibility for your server.

Redundancy and Backup: By hosting from home, you can implement your own backup solutions. In contrast to shared hosting, where backups may or may not be available, you can set up redundant systems, mirrors, and automated backups that fit your unique needs. This way, you won’t have to worry about data loss or downtime.

Why Haven’t We Done It Already?

So why isn’t everyone hosting their websites from home right now? Well, there are a few obstacles that come to mind:

Technical Complexity: Setting up and managing your own server requires some technical expertise. It’s not as simple as clicking a button and having everything set up for you. You need to have some knowledge about networking, security, and server configuration to get your website running smoothly.

Internet Connectivity: Another challenge is having a reliable, high-speed internet connection. Many home internet connections don’t have the bandwidth or uptime required to hosting a website 24/7. Additionally, most ISPs (Internet Service Providers) don’t provide static IPs for home connections, meaning your IP address may change periodically, making it difficult for others to access your site reliably.

Security Concerns: Exposing your local machine to the internet brings security risks. If not properly configured, your server could be an easy target for hackers or malicious actors. This is where learning about firewalls, encryption, and other security best practices comes into play, but it adds to the complexity.

Hardware Requirements: Depending on the scale of your website, hosting it at home may require more hardware than your typical laptop or desktop computer can provide. Hosting a resource-intensive site or running a database-heavy application could require additional investment in server-grade hardware.

But We Can Overcome These Obstacles—Together!

Now, I don’t believe any of these challenges are insurmountable. In fact, I think it’s an opportunity for us to come together as a community and work on building and configuring our own solutions.

We can collaborate to share knowledge, experiences, and even resources to create a setup that works for all of us. If you’re someone who already has some knowledge of server management, networking, or security, your experience could be invaluable to others in the group. And if you’re a beginner, there are tons of resources we can share to help you get up to speed.

The fact is, we don’t need to rely on hosting companies anymore—especially when we have the tools and the knowledge to build our own. Whether you want to host a simple website, run a personal project, or even create a platform to your business, the possibilities are endless.

Let’s build this together. Let’s take control of our websites, our data, and our digital futures.

If you’re interested in diving into this exciting journey, feel free to me! Let’s talk about how we can configure and optimize our systems to run a fully functional website directly from home. Together, we can learn, share, and create something that’s truly our own.

Let’s stop relying on others—let’s take the first step in building something unique! me on this platform to start building today.

How come you have been reading my mind lately? I quite agree with you! I have been studying how this will be but it going to take some not too long tie to come up with a viable solution that will compete in the digital space! It require some serious studies and practice. Some of the subjects to digest include Linux,cloud computing,etc. Let me even list the most important ones here:
1.Hardware & Infrastructure(Learn about different types of servers (rack-mounted, tower, blade, etc.), Us, RAM, SSDs/HDDs, RAID configurations, and cooling systems.),

2. Networking & Security (Networking Basics – T/IP, DNS, DH, VLANs, and subnetting.
Data Center Networking – Configuring and managing high-speed network connections (Fiber, 10GbE, etc.).
Cybersecurity – Firewalls, intrusion detection/prevention, DDoS protection, VPNs, and zero-trust security models.
SSL/TLS Encryption – Setting up HTTPS and securing client connections.)

3.Operating Systems & Virtualization (Linux & Windows Server – Master istration of server OSs like Ubuntu Server, Debian, CentOS, or Windows Server.
Virtualization – Learn VMware, Proxmox, or KVM for creating and managing virtual servers.
Containerization – Docker and Kubernetes for efficient service deployment.)

4.Storage & Data Management (Storage Solutions – SAN (Storage Area Network), NAS (Network-Attached Storage), and distributed storage solutions like Ceph or GlusterFS.
Backup & Disaster Recovery – Implement automated backups, snapshots, and failover strategies.
Database Management – MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and replication techniques.)

5.Web & Application Hosting (Web Servers – Apache, Nginx, or LiteSpeed.
Database Integration – Connecting backend databases to hosted applications.
Email Hosting – Running your own mail server (Postfix, Dovecot, Mail-in-a-Box))

6. Automation & Management (Infrastructure as Code (IaC) – Terraform, Ansible, or Puppet for automating server deployment.
Monitoring & Logging – Prometheus, Grafana, ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, Kibana).
Billing & Client Management – WHMCS, HostBill, or custom-built solutions.)

7.Legal, Compliance & Business Operations (Data Privacy Laws – GDPR, CA, Nigerian Data Protection Regulation (NDPR).
Business Licensing – ing your business and obtaining necessary permits.
& Customer Service – Providing 24/7 technical .)

8. Connectivity & Redundancy (ISP & Bandwidth Management – Negotiating with ISPs, getting static IPs, and ensuring uptime.
Redundancy Planning – Setting up failover systems and geographically distributed backups.)

have you tried thriftplus

thriftplus.pythonanywhere.com

I have seen it but as developer(web, mobile and desktop) I built things rom scratch not just depending on existing solutions. Also client sometimes want customize solution that meet their customers' need and alien with their branding.

dollyj1996:

ok. We can fix meetings from on the 27th , that's when I will be available as I a currently engaged.
Hope that is ok by you or is it something you need urgently?

platymus:

I have checked and know that you reside in Abeokuta

dollyj1996:
Hello guys, I need an app that I can use for my thrift business

I have built two or two separate client, one for GMI and the other for B ventures. What features are you looking for in savings app?

thesicilian:

O boy go and sit down somewhere and think about your life.
Yours is to be spewing religious thrash on every thread without basic understanding.
I doubt you even have time to read your bible or attend fellowship with believers.

Israel may be the first born of your creator, but not mine.
God may interact with you and your nation through Israel, but He interacts with me through His Holy Spirit in me.

No! He is not spewing religious trash you are the one that lack scriptural understanding of the end time prophetic events unfolding before our eyes!
Your intellectualism is blocking your spiritual understanding! Israel is God's bate! He will use her to deal with the world! Soon US will not Israel again, almost the whole world will be against her including Christians who lack spiritual understanding like you then God Almighty will come to her defense dealing with the Arab leagues, Russia, China and all that will come against her! For your information Russia just sent her warship to the middle East in pretense o solving the crisis between Israel and Iran. Ezekiel 38 and 39/Ps 83: 1- 5

Good day Nairalanders please stay away from the above link it is a scam, avoiding clicking it or ing on the site!

AllenSpencer:
The reputation of the US is diminishing at a very fast rate. Despite the pro-Palestine protest rocking the US, it’s glaring that the government does not care about its citizens.

The US should know its days of global dominance are numbered. The awareness people now have via social
media is top notch, and their past and present evil deeds are being exposed on daily basis.

The UN itself needs to be scrapped. That’s not democracy! How can a single vote of a country override that of majority.

Well I don't blame you, don't know prophecy that's why you talk from your educated mind!!

DeepThroater:


So in your distorted brain, Christ will come down from heaven to save the Jews from destruction.

Why didn't Christ come down and save them in 70 AD and 130AD following the Roman sacking of Judah ?


The Bar Khoba uprising was led by an individual who claimed to be the Jewish Messiah and led many Jews to war against the occupying Romans and genocided all non Jews and Christians alike in both Israel and Judah province.

When the wrath of Roman came for Bar Khoba and his band of religious fanatics and terrorists , why didn't Christ come and save the Jews?

Since Bar Khoba there have been many Jewish individuals who claimed to be the Messiah , why didn't Christ come down to assist them in reclaiming Palestine but it took the gentiles handing Palestine to them.

Christ did not bring about the modern state of Israel so why should Christ come down and defend it?

You see how you guys have no iota of sense in your heads.

I can see that you don't know the scripture neither do you understand it! You are quoting history! Anyways what you are seeing now and many more you will see later are all in the scriptures. Jesus didn't come to destroy the law and the prophet he came to fulfill them. I wish I could educate you scripturally on these subjects but got no time!

DeepThroater:



Are you idiots even Christian ?

Are you not zeta Jews ?

Tell what truth you know about Israel and the end time prophecy and give me the scripture references! You guys just type anything that comes to your mind!
What you are seeing now is just the beginning even Russia, Iran and the Arab leagues are coming against Israel but again Russia will be crushed this by God himself because Israel won't be able to handle it and the US won't be available for help that time; the world will initially be jubilating seeing such mighty army coming to crush Israel suddenly God shows up to destroy them, These and many are written in the scriptures! Relax you can't know more than God. God will deal with all enemy of Israel!!!! whether individual or nation!

sucess001:


Stf.

You don't represent the God we serve. The Jesus who told Peter not to strike the soldier because our weapon of warfare are not carnal.

Test your spirit.

You really don't know the scripture!

DeepThroater:
It should be apparent that the OP is the same person as that righteousness idiot and that he is working with JIDF and the mods here to push Zionist narrative , propaganda and the Judeo-Christian abomination .


This righteousnous always makes FP in such threads and the lightning speed at which the Zionist compromised mods push their bs to the main FP is a dead giveaway.


Seun, nah real wah for you.

Well he is not the idiot you guys!!!! when you don't agree with the scripture that what becomes of you

DeepThroater:



What a fool.

And this fool will be crying about racial discrimination.

Biblically you are the REAL FOOL here because he is saying the truth but you don't know it or don't want to agree with it! But you can do nothing against the truth but for the truth-2 Corinthians 13:8

shortgun:
EFCC is truly idle, this should be the job of the police

That's not true at least not Nigerian police else you will see a collaboration between the the pastor and the police and the police will still get their own share from the money!!!!

You really don't know what you are saying you only want to type something!

Kingsnairaland:

Iran is the only nation that openly says Israel should not exist

That too bad to say
Russia is just managing Iran and the situation

Imagine if a Christian nation comes up to say mecca should not exist that too harsh or wrong to say

Russia is probably 80% Christians so most Muslims don't know without Israel our Bible will be a story without evidence

Instead of Iran to fight for Palestinians state they are busy fighting for Israel destruction which will never happen

You can see even Russia is not with them on that side no Christian will see Israel burn and not weep, and for your information putin calls Israel the holy land

If Iran wants nuke let them accept Israel to live and let live then just fight for things that can be possible.

According to bile prophecy in Ezekiel even Russia will lead the war against Israel and God is going to wipe out Russia and all Arab leagues that will gang up against Israel. This will happen in our very eyes!

raskymonojendor:

It's not. That man has been in power for decades. I think he first got elected in 1996. He would be 3 decades in power by 2026, so he is doing as he wishes.

Why can't African leaders advice him and speak against it now? but when violence or coup taker happens in that country west African leaders will now show their ugly faces! Many of them are the same

I asked you to list Otedola investments

Otedola assumes the position of Chairman at Transcorp Hilton Hotel, Abuja. He is also the President and Chief Executive Officer of various companies, including Zenon Petroleum & Gas Limited, Seaforce Shipping Company Limited, Atlas Shipping Agency Company Limited, F. O. Transport Limited, F.O.
Otedola, has significant acquisition of shares in Dangote Cement
He is an investor, actually an inside investor. These investors get first hand information before shares are declared to the public. They buy in volumes.

Bro engage me like someone educated abeg.

Being listed on a London stock exchange does not indicate your business is worth $1billion.

$38million is the minimum market cap to enter London SE. So out of that $38milliom, you now need to drill it down to the networth of the owner himself which might even be just 50% or less of the company worth itself.

No Igbo man dead or alive is worth $1billion except if it is from illegitimate sources like politicians and etc. for those, you won’t be able to value them because their source cannot be determined.

That’s why you don’t see Mexico drug dealers on the list. It’s the same reason why they won’t put OBJ or Babangida on the list even if they’ve stolen $1billion.

You are right sir. Because your company is listed on London stock exchange does not make you a billionaire in $$. You overall net-worth and current exchange rate is the yard stick. In fact you can be just an investor(e.g. warren buffet) and be a are richer than many business founder. our Igbo brothers mostly build SMEs not enterprise and world class business mostly because the are into shady deals.

It's A Good Thing That Muslims Understand The Bible. That's Intelligence!

It's A Bad Thing That Almost Every Christian Don't Understand The Quran. That's Unwise.


It's One of The Reason For The Many Chaos in The World.

You only need to know the truth[and nothing else] to be free from the chaos o this world! So knowing the quran is not near relevancy in the kingdom of light

Until he raised a renowned cripple like Yinka Aiyefele, then I can believe the stunts.

See how miracle performance look like choreography 🤣🤣

Stop sounding foolish! Did Aiyefele attend the healing school or has he gone to him for healing. Moreover God is the doing the healing using the pastor has a vessel - Mark 16:16-20

Putindbutt:

Go to the north, turn to bandit and go stay in the bush, let's see if tucano will not drop bomb on your head.

correct sir! let him bandits and start killing the military

ivolt:

When did that happen and what is the village name?
Note, there is no village called "the North".

If you are referring to bandits, they have no village, they are nomadic raiders who resides in the forest.
Even at that, there was a recent revenge drone strike on a Kaduna village.

You made a great point here sir! Some persons dont even reason enough before typing. Imagine the military coming there in there full glory.
