I have tried it and it worked. Only that you cannot send pictures, sounds etc. It is plainly text. But i think its good. You don't even have to use wap. and it is just 20 bucks.

Technology MarketRe: QLink 600VA UPS for 10,000 Naira at Computer Village? by Adetola(m): 10:06am On Sep 15, 2005
Yes, Mercury and APC are the best. I have been using an APC in my office for over two years and there hadn't been any problem yet. I even use one at home, for my electronics. Sometimes I use it to charge my phone, TV and DVD player and at times my blender, all simultaneously! This reveals how rugged APC is, and its only 450VA. I power my own with a 500VA Densine stabiliser 'cos i discovered one problem with UPS is power fluctuations.

Nairaland GeneralRe: Gender Inequality ("Men Always Like To Be Domineering") by Adetola(m): 12:47pm On Aug 25, 2005
They are not better halfs, they are helpers, assistants to women.
ooooops, they are assistants to MEN not women
Nairaland GeneralRe: Gender Inequality ("Men Always Like To Be Domineering") by Adetola(m): 12:41pm On Aug 25, 2005
(1)Why do ladies have to fight for rights we already have? I don't, have never, and will never belong to the category of people who believe in the daft school of thought which say's that Men are superior to women. I am a woman, who knows that women are complimentary to men and vice versa. We are each other's equals and the fact that one is named the head over the other doesn't hake him/her superior to the other.

(2) For the input bu Legs viz a vis the Igbo women and their inability to speak/ participate in any decision making in her home, guys what do you have to say for your selves? It only goes to show your major insecurities to the point where you are afraid of what women would do if they were given some leverage to speak in their homes.
Enough already!
Fabian, starting 4rm ur last question/remark, (2)do women have rights or priviledges? Yes they do have rights, their privildges are more emphatic than rights. Women r not allowed in some cases 'cos its their belief (igbos) that there's nothing they can suggest that'll solve the problem at hand, any attempt by the women to counteract to this universal tradition had always resulted in chaos.

The fight for superiority, as i c it is useless, just as u said, women are complimentary to men but not vice versa. In English, some words are strong when they stand alone, but the moment u add a prefix or suffix to it then it becomes weaker. Man, prefixed with WO, the result... (Wo)Man, has chaned the meaning, significance and strength in d the abstract and physical sense. Women cannot be compared to men, they can't be equal, God didn't make them eqaul. Questioning the crystal clear inequality of women to men is as good as questioning God 'why'? The answer is women are assistants to men, it is conventional and there is nothing anybody can do to that. You acn't change God's will.

Of course men do not have to show that they are superrior to women, it is wrong to make a woman feel inferior. What's the point? It won't change God's will. Needless to argue that everybody, male or female has a purpose of creation, but do not forget that the overarching objective for creating women is for them to ASSIST men, and not to compete with them. They are not better halfs, they are helpers, assistants to women.

I personally do not support gender discrimination, I believe women are good in their reasn for creatn.But once any woman starts to question superiority or equality, she wan hear tori.

The caption on the homepage attracted me to this topic. Who told you that ladies can't urinate accurately while standing?? Me, I can urinate accurately while standing o. As for the main topic, God has not created that man that can domineer over me. He simply doesn't exist. If he is as strong as a lion or as fierce as a tiger, I will tame him
As far as i am concerned, wo-men came after men, as helpers. Women just want to feel they are equal which is not realistic or true!
any attempt by a women to accurately piss while standing will result in wetting her panties!
Yes, its your duty to help him cool his nerves, not 'tame' him.
delete 'domineering' and 'tame' from your dictionary.

There's one movie i'd like y'all to watch, THE BROTHERS. May be you might understand what i've been saying. I can email this movie to you upon request. send your request to [glow=red,2,300]rubylilywaters@yahoo.com[/glow][color=#006600][/color]

Sorry, no fallacy of personal attack in my post, i do not mean to attack anybody. I respect y'all ladies in the house.
I rest my case.

Christianity EtcRe: Fornication or Homosexuality, Which is a Greater Sin? by Adetola(m): 12:27pm On Aug 24, 2005
talking about sin. No big or small sin. So yeah Both sins.
I second Latoya..... a sin is a sin is a sin is a sin is..............
Lying is as bad a sin as homosexuality or fornication. So, there you have it!
No sin is smaller and greater,but homosexuality is a sin that is outdated,unspeakable,a heinous crime,anti social and devilish.It is evil!
Below is a saying of one Greek Philosopher

There is no event, according to the law of proportion, that can be called "little"
A kid's loss of a dull and a king's loss of a crown are events of the same gravity


no small or big sin, sin na sin.

Ill rather go for fornication than homosexualism.
PoliticsRe: Nigeria, INEC: Electronic Voting for Election 2007? by Adetola(m): 12:13pm On Aug 24, 2005
I know that no system can eliminate rigging (courtesy of last 2 US presidential elections where votings were e-rigged), however the possibilityof reducing the magnitude of rigging is worth investing into.
I laid my hands on the prospectus cum catalogue of the EVM from Electronics Corporation of India Limited (ECIL), going by what they have displayed and the information in this prospectus, I think Nigeria will be better off with it.

This should not stop us from knowing the fact that there will surely be some shortcomings, ranging from e-rigging, multiple voting to miscalculation on the part of the machines. The only way to minimise this is, if all Ballot stations in each ward are connected to one another to one server in each LGA, then subsequently servers from the LGAs linked with one central server from the state, where all results will be released, making the state server the only authorised device to release the results at the state level. There should then be yet another single central server that connects all the state servers in the six geopolitical zones, and finally each of these zone's server connected to one centre server in the Headquarters of the electoral body. Access should be allowed for checks and balances but no modification of inputs and results. The computers should also be able to detect multiple voting and faze them out. As we all know that fingerprints are as unique as each individual, i.e. no two people have the same fingerprint, and it may even help in arresting the electorate who voted more than once). Of course this will require big-time online but wireless LAN, WAN and Internet, which is will be expensive to run. I can't explain what I mean better than this, experts in computers and ICT should help me out, if you understand what I mean.

If this or something better or related to this is ensured, then we can talk of elections being free and fair, on the basis of computer intelligence. But if na to count station by station (Ballot Station by Ballot Station) manually before results can be announced, then it will be no better from the manual voting system, in fact the manual voting would have been better.

But in general, this will be a giant stride and breakthrough for Nigeria, then the government should be thinking of e-census for accurate counting.
HealthRe: HIV Drugs Manufactured in Nigeria (Virex Anti-retroviral) by Adetola(m): 10:40am On Aug 24, 2005
I am very happy to hear this, but i hope that the Government of Nigeria makes the environment condusive for the maker of this ARV.

Seun please advise them not to rush into the regional or subregional market for now, what they should do now is feasibility study of the responses to treatment and its acceptability in the local market, this will make them gain more goodwill first in the local environment before vending internationally. What i am saying is that they should wait for sucess in the use of these drugs locally before intriducing it to the international community. Adebayo Adedeji once said in one of his books that enteprises and firms/industries that cannot compete locally will never make it internationally.

But generally i am happy for this... UNA N KO

RomanceRe: Your Ideal Woman (for the men) by Adetola(m): 12:19pm On Jun 15, 2005
It's hard to start listing all the qualities you want to see in your 'ideal woman'. But she must have good looks, intelligent, presentable, learned, polite and most importantly, caring, loving, understanding, and be able to master me and know me well.

RomanceRe: Double Dating - Right or Wrong? by Adetola(m): 4:40pm On Jun 04, 2005
Well, as far as i am sincerely concerned, Seun is very right to make such pronouncement. What should be considered is the reasons for double-dating and not double-dating in its literal sense.

Finf out, of all premises given, where the elemnt of commitment lies and then you will find how justifiable double-dating may be in some cases.

So, given the justification and critics, it may be right or wrong on a 50-50 basis
TravelRe: So Many Young Men in Nigeria Planning to go to the US by Adetola(m): 5:10pm On Jun 01, 2005
This may be casued by so many reasons, some of which are highlighted below:
[list][li]Not being content with what they have.[/li]
[li]Just want to be known as 'Americana'[/li]
[li]Sufferhead! [suffering] Some people say there are better chances of survival abroad.[/li]
[li]Some just want to be there for the sake of being there.[/li][/list]

Whatever the reason may be, I still think there are many more 'virgin' business ideas in Nigeria - ideas that are yet to be discovered and explored. Even the already existing avenues are yet to be optimally utilised. We are yet to reach a state of "Parento Optimality" (an economic term) in Nigeria.

As for me, I'm not in a haste to travel. But if the oppurtunity comes, I will definitely be sure of what I am going there to do, not to start running helter-skelter and dodging the law enforcement agents "because I dont have papers."

That's my own stand.
Nairaland GeneralRe: How Do We Celebrate the 1000th Member? by Adetola(m): 1:43pm On Jun 01, 2005
mosiate has given you guys my own opinion. In addition, how about 6 months free membership for the lucky winner when we finally conclude on the membership plan.

It will be fun bashing out a big party for members. But that will defnitely be paid for, through ticketing (which is compulsory for whoever wants to attend, but affordable) and volountary donations.
Nairaland GeneralRe: How Much To Charge Nairaland Users? (we're going commercial) by Adetola(m): 1:34pm On Jun 01, 2005
Hey all
I've gone through all the postings on this topic thoroughly, like Na mi o said, you guys are into this and you know what it takes to get things moving. You give us your draft plan on the general conclusion as to how much to charge, the monthly, yearly or daily charging issue and PMS issue.

I trust you will come out with something good. It is after you have done this that we are then in the position to give our views.  

The last post by seun is a brilliant one, and i think it makes me lay more emphasis on my point. Let us know your stand and then we'll all deliberate on it. You need us to keep running the forum and then we also need you to stay on the Forum. This is a matter of mutual benefit and understanding. Since you are the brain behind it all, you are in a very better position to tell us how you think it will work. Afterall, not every member of this forum was present as at when the concept or idea of this forum was conceived

I wish you the best of luck in the process
CelebritiesRe: Omotola or Rita Dominic - who is more beautiful? by Adetola(m): 3:23pm On May 26, 2005
Don't use Rita's colour (skin) as a reason for her beauty!

Though she's beautiful in her own class, but incomparable to Omotola

Imagine the both of as dark-skinned or of any colour, and you'll find Omotola Jolade Ekehinde standing out.
God took an extra time moulding her. She's an angel in human skin!

RomanceRe: Cheating. Is Revenge or Retribution the Best Option? by Adetola(m): 1:14pm On May 26, 2005
Let's come to face it, frankly!

Nobody will ever take a case of cheating lightly. There is no justification for any reason that might be given for cheating.

Even in cases of rape, only one in a thousand men will honestly look at their wives or spouse mercifully, you will definitely find traces of jealousy in him for what happened. This may eventually lead to jilting.

But sometimes it is good that you hear her out, you might just be the one at fault.

Her justification or reason for doing such thing will tell if you are to revenge or retrench, depending on your personal judgement and level of disappointment.

But as for my own personal judgement, she will have to go on suspension for sometime for me to get over the shock, after which I may be lenient enough to her story and decide on what to do.
Christianity EtcRe: Is She the Will of God for Me? What Really Is The Will of God? by Adetola(m): 12:52pm On May 26, 2005
Well friend, there is a saying that "heaven helps only those who help themselves".
Another one says "Man proposes while God does his own will".
The best thing anybody could do is seek God's guidiance, with which one will not go astray.
So seek guidiance from God, if she/he is not the right person, by their fruits we shall know them.
Good luck in your search if you are looing for one.
PoliticsNational Political Reforms Conference by Adetola(op): 11:36am On May 24, 2005
I was watching the the NPRC live broadcast this morning when Justice Oputa presented the report on the Anti-Corruption Committee, where he said that corruption has become something Nigerians find inevitable.

Why do you think it is so?

He said rotation of presidency among the six geo-political zones of the country as suggested by the South-South group will only result to rotation of corruption.

What I think is that unless and until Nigerians take a step forward towards fighting the corruption in themselves, Nigeria will remain not a corrupt nation, but a country habouring corrupt people. This is the only country where you find politicians fighting for their own interest both on the long and short run analysis, instead of making people's interest a priority.

Corruption is getting worse in Nigeria. The more the people of Nigeria try to find solution to the problems at hand, the worse the situation becomes. And I do not think that this Confab is an exception to that. How do we expect people who were appointed by the President and his governors make a constitution that will be of benefit to the common man in Nigeria? People, most of whom do not know what the common man on the streets go through?

I think there is still a lot to do. and what to do is subordination of one's self interest to the collective interest of all. The right candidate for this task is me and you. Let's get up to the task.
FamilyRe: Sex Education in the Family. by Adetola(m): 4:33pm On May 23, 2005
I think I support Ra's opinion as to when it is good to talk to your child about sex. It is when you make yourself available to them when they need you that they find the most comfortable time to speak to you. They begin to get curious about the whole topic. It is advisable that you don't turn them down when the ask about it for the first time, this will go a long way to determine their own orientation about sex education. The period of Lectures on sex education is unlimited... at least until they get married. The only difference is the manner and approach to the topic.
