Introduction to Programmimg. C# (Part 2)
Many applications you’ll build in C# will require you to work with data. Sometimes that data will be hard-coded in your application other times not.
In this lesson, we’ll create hard-coded literal values that contain different data types

The sad reality is that a White man is now telling Africans this: our people have become so gullible and controlled that they just aren’t ready to wake up to the reality and embrace themselves.

For a decade, investigators across three continents chase the man flying weapons into Africa’s wars. They find his planes everywhere, including on contracts for the governments that are supposed to be helping them. When he is finally caught, it is for a war that does not exist.

CROSS RIVER STATE: RESTORING TOURISM, REVIVING OUR PORTS AND LISTENING TO THE PEOPLE
After my return from USA on Tuesday November 3rd evening, I held a meeting with Lagos State NDC candidates, and yesterday November 4th morning, I travelled to Calabar, Cross River State, in continuation of our series of town hall meetings and engagements across the country.
In Calabar, Senator Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso, and I led our Cross River State NDC candidates, party members and other supporters on a courtesy visit to His Eminence, Edidem Ekpo Okon Abasi Otu V, the Obong of Calabar.
At the palace of the respected traditional ruler, we informed him of our visit and the town hall meeting. He generously shared his words of wisdom with us and offered prayers and blessings.
At the town hall meeting, we had our usual interactive session, where participants expressed their concerns and asked questions about our plans for the Calabar Port, the restoration of Cross River State to its former status as a leading tourism destination, security, the economy and the general welfare of Nigerians when we are elected.
In my remarks, I assured them of the commitment of Senator Kwankwaso and me to uniting and securing the country and immediately embarking on aggressive investments in critical areas of development, particularly education and healthcare, while pulling our people out of poverty.
I also assured the teeming crowd of participants and supporters that, under our stewardship, the Calabar Port would become fully operational, alongside other ports across the Niger Delta.
On tourism, I recalled with nostalgia how Calabar, Obudu and other destinations in Cross River State used to be preferred tourism destinations for Nigerians and even foreigners. Today, due to poor governance and inadequate attention, the state has lost much of its tourism value. I committed to restoring Cross River State to its pride of place, starting with my personal commitment, when elected President, to spending my holidays at its tourism destinations.
I encouraged our members and supporters to be prepared to defend their votes on Election Day, especially in the face of continued hostility from the government.
My sincere gratitude goes to our teeming supporters, party members, candidates and well-wishers who attended the town hall meeting. I thank the organisers and the good people of Cross River State for the successful programme and their warm hospitality.
A New Nigeria is POssible, and Nigeria will be OK! -PO

The Spearhead Reacts To Kemi Badenoch’s Comments On The Role of Britain in The Transatlantic Slave Trade
British Conservative party leader Kemi Badenoch (born Olukemi Olufunto Adegoke) has built a political career out of lending herself to be the convenient black face of right wing British r*cism, who regularly trots out the most r*cially coded and offensive messages on behalf of her patrons, knowing that as someone of recent African heritage, she cannot be punished for doing so.
The most recent installment in her one-woman political ministrel show involved offering a typically shameless and completely unsolicited opinion praising Britain for allegedly stopping the European sl*ve trade, while asserting that Britain has no need to apologise for its role or offer restitution.

"When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs* 🌚
Cheeky boy. You never still tell us the job o.
When I first arrived in the United States as a young man, I drove a taxi to earn money for my education. I even had to postpone starting school for several months to save enough.
When I eventually got to Chicago, I worked different jobs to support myself and pay my way through university. I know what it means to worry about tuition, accommodation and how to make ends meet while pursuing an education.
Those experiences have stayed with me.
I know what education made possible in my own life, and I believe every Nigerian child deserves that same opportunity, regardless of where they are born or what their parents can afford.
This is one reason education remains a major priority of our Renewed Hope administration.
Through NELFUND, we have provided over ₦372 billion in student loans for institutional fees and upkeep, helping young Nigerians remain in school and pursue their education.
Our technical and vocational education programme has attracted over 2.8 million applications. We have rehabilitated 38 technical colleges, while students in federal and selected state technical colleges now benefit from free school fees, boarding, textbooks and uniforms.
We have reached a new agreement with ASUU, providing for a 40% increase in academic staff remuneration and measures to improve stability in our universities.
A four-year course must take four years. Our young people deserve to complete their education on time and get on with their lives. Promise made, Promise Kept
In medical education, we are investing ₦110 billion in rehabilitating 24 medical schools. Annual nursing enrolment has increased from 28,000 to 115,000, while medical and dental enrolment has risen from 5,000 to 12,000.
Nigeria needs more doctors, nurses and other healthcare professionals, and we must build the capacity to train them here at home.
Over one million children who were previously out of school have been returned to learning. We are investing in teacher development, expanding educational opportunities for girls, and implementing a new national curriculum that restores Nigerian History to our classrooms.
Our children must know where we have come from, understand the country they belong to, and be prepared to take responsibility for its future.
I commend the Honourable Minister of Education, Dr Tunji Alausa @DrTunjiAlausa, the Minister of State, Professor Suwaiba Sa’id Ahmad @Suwaiba_Said, and the entire education team @NigEducation for their dedication to this important work.
I am particularly pleased that the team has developed an interactive A–Z of the Nigeria Education Sector Renewal Initiative (NESRI), bringing together the reforms, programmes, achievements and opportunities across our education system.
I invite every Nigerian to visit edu4pbat.ng and explore the A–Z of NESRI.
If you are a parent, find out what opportunities are available for your children. If you are a student, explore the programmes you can benefit from. If you are a teacher, see what support is available.
And if something is not working as it should in your community, I want to hear about it. Your feedback will help us identify problems and address them.
Our journey from reform to opportunities and shared prosperity must begin with education.
The circumstances of a child’s birth should never determine the limits of their ambition. Our responsibility is to give every Nigerian child a fair chance to fulfil their potential.
We have more work to do, and I am determined to see it through.
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR
President

This particular video won the award.
I meet one of my APC friends, he told me that he can’t stop laughing each time he watches this video.
It doesn’t matter the party you belong to, this video is a cracker 🤣
H.E Peter Obi can light every room 😅

One category of professional on this continent that I am truly terrified of is the Kenyan Development Expert.
He/She is always the FIRST African to adopt and rationalise anything that comes from the wazungu in suits, no matter how extractive or dystopian.
If the European slave trade resumed today, you can bet your house that there will be a Kenyan Development Expert overseeing the barracoons, using terms like "Supervised Human Talent Relocation" and "Involuntary Personnel Transshipment".
Like his cousins the Nigerian tech founder and the Senegalese NGO director, he has no concept whatsoever of general or localised African interest, and his mental environment is one of the most selfishly, abominably capitalist places on earth.
These guys fill my soul with actual terror. I'm genuinely scared of them.
"Non Revenue Water" fucking hell...

"The SW governors used to meet for the betterment of the SW but SE governors didn't because they are have their own personal agenda.
But after Peter Obi entered Ebonyi state where it was believed that Umahi had under control, and he pulled such crowd, Soludo became worried and called for an emergency meeting of SE governors.
Only Otti did not attend.
Soludo is positioning for the VP position in 2031. Umahi is positioning for the VP position in 2031. Hope is positioning for Senate president. Mbah is also positioning for VP 2031 so if Peter Obi enters now it will destroy their personal ambitions.
It was the Oni of Ife that called Peter Obi a Tsunami. Peter Obi never called himself a Tsunami. A leader doesn't call himself a leader, it is the people that will call him a leader.
So when you hear Umahi call himself the lion of South-East just know that he is a lizard."

Burkina Faso Adds The Haitian Revolution To Its Secondary School Curriculum
As part of its continuing efforts to decolonize its information space, Burkina Faso is introducing the Haitian Revolution into its secondary school curriculum.
This move comes one year after Mali suspended the teaching of the French Revolution from its own secondary school curriculum, and signals the determination of both nations to raise a generation of truly conscious Africans.
The rest of Africa would do well to follow this example. No African child should grow up believing that they are inferior to anyone. They should grow up knowing about their glorious history and the battles fought and won for them by those who came before. They should grow up knowing about the West’s invasion of their continent, the reign of t*rror that followed, the liberation struggles waged to end this reign.
Every African child should grow up knowing about the enslaved Africans in the then French colony of Saint-Domingue who rebelled against their oppressors in 1791, and were never defeated until they founded the modern world’s first free black republic in 1804.
