The Federal Government of Nigeria has inaugurated a new official web portal www.nigeria.gov.ng.

Nairaland Users are invited to visit this site and offer their comments and suggestions in order to improve the site and the image of Nigeria.

I particularly like the fact that you can listen to FRCN and watch NTA news. It will be better if they will be able to display live onlinestreams of NTA programmes as well, that will be fun. They should also work on those links that don't work.

Chai !! I taught it was contracted to Microsoft. The website is not even Browser Friendly. I am using Mozzilla Firefox.

What's wrong with the site, it won't let me click on somethings. When did Nigeria get social security?? I saw something social security on it, so does everyone now have social security numbers or wat?

You mean the national identity project. Its been there for a while, since IBB's time, if i am not mistaken. Well i dont know how far the implentation process has gone, but as far as i know its not going to work. Its just one of those things..................

I mean the national security part. Go to the About Nigeria, and click national security.

It has to do with securing the nation, by equipping the military with all gadgets needed to protect Nigeria. It has nothing has to do with identity whatsoever.

Crap. They should give everyone and ID and national security number. Nigeria needs one of those.

well Nigeria really does need one, but its not feasible.

ha. i am sure 1 person would get 4 social security numbers. Stupid people that is.

Do you realise how so many people change their names everyday in that country?

Well i know people with 3 Nigerian passports. . Well yeah in the newspapers.

You see... Nigeria needs these things.

Jesus, Good leadership, strong military, good judges and court rooms, social security, ID, Free elementary and high schools, and financial aids and scholarships for college students.

Amen!

what do you think of rebranding nigeria heart of africa, i.e. www.heartofafrica.com

i thought that was congo's position. anyway, its worth it to try to remake the country's image

the site you gave me is coming soon.

its www.heartofafrica.net

ohkay.. I see. Good.

Delarontus, God bless you for this information.
I now listen to Radio Nigeria on the web in my office.

Sweet!

looks good though the heading seems a little too tall, maybe it is just me

that site has options for every language in the world, but nigerian languages

haha..obong isn't that weird? Nigerian sites no nigerian languages.

it doesnt render its own language (content translation is done by another site) and it looks very unprofessional.

They probably shouldn't have bothered with other languages apart from French!

the language translation is a service from www.worldlingo.com and i think the language options that were available are predefined by worldlingo.

as per nigerian language, i think it will be a good option if someone can volunteer to translate the site. the site i think was meant to showcase nigeria to the outside world.

what does worldlingo do? it translates every langauge out there?

seun, i disagree. I think Nigeria should strive to accomodate as many languages of our own as posible. Our langauges are dying and are not spoken anywhere else in the world. Showcasing our langauges helps build "brand" awareness, which is what that site is for anyway

100 million dollars Nigerian portal. Thats that for u.

how do you know it cost $100 mil?

Insider Information

The site should have been designed with other browsers in mind. There are so many complaints I have, but they'll have to wait until I get to work.

Another complaint: the streams provided are for only Windows based systems. That is archaic thinking!

are you using linux or something?

Well try using mozilla or firefox to browse the site
