"no god/God"?

Hope you've clicked yes?

Very funny, imagine.. Now sharia law is instituted in their section now, you can't comment unless you declare yourself a Muslim and accept it to appear on your profile.. I wonder where this will eventually end..
Closely watching!

lanrexlan:
Liar,many non-muslims do comment in the Islam section,some non-muslims topics even made it to the frontpage(If you need evidences,I will give you).The rule is very simple,keep to Nairaland rules and you will NEVER get banned.

Boring section? And your brothers in christ keep flooding the place.We know of a certain christian that has more than 5 accounts just to comment on the Islam section(N B. This certain individual do post with all these monikers almost the same time).
We know of certain christians that ALL their topics on Nairaland is about Islam and posted in the Islam section.
We know of a certain hatetheist that created more than 28 monikers just to post in the Islam section.And you called that boring? What we see is your brothers' obsession with posting in the Islam section.We do welcome them providing they abide with Nairaland rules.
You talking about tolerance? To hell with your so called tolerance.We remembered the kind of tolerance you and some of your christian brothers and sisters displayed when muslims were clamoring for their topics on frontpage on this thread.

We were really fascinated with the tolerance you guys displayed!!!

Alright.

That2:
And a Christian section wouldn't stop me from commenting there even if have to pronounced the bearded Jews zombie as my god i don't mind. As long as i can live in peace because of these useless religions then the Nairaland religious sections won't know peace!

Are you done?

pweetixandy:

Through constant fellowship with him.. Imagine you not having any quiet time with God, how will you you recognize his voice.. So, move close to him and you will hear him..
Shalom

icemann:
You need to understand my point. I am not ruling out the fact a bomb was used i am saying the design was bad. The Oklahoma building was bombed and parts of it stood. If the synagogue was designed and built right it would have a similar aftermath.

It's clearly not the pastor's fault, the engineers should be held responsible.

So, how sure are you that the building has no critical columns?
Have you been to the site?
What if the explosive were attached to the critical columns?
I think striktlymi is right
"a qualified engineer will not sit by his pc and assume without visiting the site for investigation.

pussyaddict: An egg yolk contains 186mg cholesterol. Why do you think doctors would say only 1 egg should be consumed daily and never consumed by heart-related disease patients.

You can consume vegetable as many times as possible in a day and have nothing to loose

Its not that animal nutrient source is bad but it comes with lots of calories and anti-ion productions in the body

I know quote a lot about the cholesterol, but that doesn't stop it from releasing the nutrients our body needs for development.
Am not even talking about rate of consumption here, all am after is for you to know that in aspect of protein supplication, vegetables don't stand the chance, even blood meal gives more protein than vegetables talk less of milk, even simple goat milk!
You may eat vegetables hundred of times, though you have nothing to lose, you still stand to gain very little.

pussyaddict: Even doctors always advice to avoid nutrients from animal source and consume plant nutrients instead.

Soya milk is a very good source of protein.

Vegetarians always live longer and healthier than animal consumers

Guess you don't know about egg?
Egg supplies you the triple of any protein that vegetables will give you!

Plant protein are just supplements, animal protein contains all essential amino acid,

ShehuAba: Let me ask you this question:
When last did you see Muslim threads hit front-page?

It used to be so before now every Friday, but seun just decided to stop it abruptly after making only guests to view it.

There's a biggie in front-page because some people don't bother to visit other sections except the front-page.

So, we need to enlighten our fellow Muslim brothers and educate other non Muslims about Islam.

So, bro that's why we are clamoring for this.

Enlightenment and education? After giving you a whole section! You still complain about enlightenment, you must be a joker!

Macelliot: Obviously, this is a Christian thread!

So kindly stop derailing and do the needful

JESUS CHRIST, A REVELATION.

What's revelation?
Revelation is simply to reveal, enlighten, to know a new thing, astonishing enlightenment about something, you can't call something you know and already familiarised yourself with, a revelation. It is something not known before, something new, even a dictionary says something divine..
Now to us who are saved and the so-called Christians that play church we know the bible is standing on revelation, two mighty revelation.. Genesis and the book of revelation.. Have you ever imagined how Moses knew about the creation when he was born thousands of years after it?
It is called revelation! John saw the revelation of things to come, things not known before. That's revelation.. The bible is built on it.. We claim the bible is written out of inspiration,yes! That's true.. Inspiration comes and revelation follows, that's is.. Luke was inspired to write down things he knew about Jesus Christ and he sat down to pray and holy spirit brought the revelation.
Now, to the topic that Jesus Christ is a revelation means Jesus can only be revealed to those that don't know him before, no wonder he said, he came for the lost..
The shocking fact is that most so called Christians in the church don't have the revelation of Jesus Christ. They just know that he is the saviour, that's all..
O brethren, it is far more than that, you can become born again by believing he is the saviour but you can't grow without having the revelation of who Jesus is!
Let's turn to the bible by considering John the Baptist first..
John the Baptist knew who Christ is, though he later failed and he was eternally punished(we will talk about this another day), he knew Jesus..

John1:29
The next day John saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold! The Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!

See? He knew Jesus! How? Through revelation..

John1:32,34

32. And John bore witness, saying, “I saw the Spirit descending from heaven like a dove, and He remained upon Him.

34. AND I HAVE SEEN AND TESTIFIED THAT THIS IS THE SON OF GOD .”


Now Think!
Was John the only one around there? Commentary makes us to know, in a day John baptised hundred of people if not thousands but only him saw the revelation of who Jesus is, no wonder the people deny him.. If God revealed to them that day like he reveal to John they wouldn't have crucified Jesus.

Another example is when Jesus was asking the disciples, who he is, they were talking from how they know him, how he do miracles e. t.c
They called him prophet, Elijah and so on, but Peter said you are the Son of God, what did Jesus said?

Matthew 16:17
Jesus said to him,“Simon, son of Jonah, you are happy because you did not learn this from man. MY FATHER IN HEAVEN HAS SHOWN YOU THIS .

what's that?
Revelation..
So there brethren, so many of this are illustrated in the bible but with this two up there, you should now know that Jesus is a revelation, only those that he revealed himself too, will be saved. GOD has given me the GRACE to evangelise his words many times and I encounter some hard on Muslims that says Jesus Christ is a prophet, it always lead to an argument which they enjoy most, but the clear fact is that they have no revelation of who Jesus Christ is, the message is foolishness to those perishing, to us it is life.. Then why are we that we know the light refuse to walk in it.. You as a Christian is nothing but a bad example to others,, you refuse to be a difference.. You refuse the revelation of Jesus Christ.. Many church goers today and still sins is rising with a geometric rate.. Many Christian leaders rubbing dirt on the name of Jesus Christ with divorce issues, terrorism and the worst of it politics as if it is there father that own it, it makes me wonder if they are Christians in the first instance.. Without the revelation of Jesus your spiritual life will be epileptic cause there will be no guidance, no enlightenment.. Christ will only be revealed to a righteous heart, a heart that knows no sin, that really knows God and has passion to know him more, putting him first in all things we do.. Youths need it mostly, you need it.. Without it you will be doomed forever in the utter darkness, why not think and come to him today, he is ready to accept you no matter the weight and Tumor of your sin just run under the blood.. Am here to preach salvation, and the second coming of Jesus Christ,, so if you need this life saving revelation, if you want to trace your way back to that old rugged cross common says this with a solemn mind and believing he is ready to accept you..

FATHER, I THANK YOU FOR THIS DAY, I HAVE SINNED, I HAVE COME SHORT OF YOUR GLORY AND I KNOW THAT, COME IN TO MY LIFE AND SAVE ME TODAY, REVEAL YOURSELF TO ME TONIGHT THAT I MIGHT SERVE YOU AND REIGN WITH YOU, THANK YOU JESUS CHRIST FOR SAVING ME, IN JESUS NAME I PRAY.
AMEN

congratulations, you are saved, i will like to follow you up and pray more with you, just send a private message..
Jesus Christ loves you..
Shalom
Maranatha.

on this high-traffic online forum;
provided you offer products or services

Here are 10 ways people are making
money on Nairaland that you too can
consider giving a shot; if you have what it

Top 10 Legitimate Ways to
Make Money on Nairaland
1.Ebook sales
If you have deep
knowledge in a particular field that is of
interest to a huge number of Nigerians, or
you know how to solve a certain problem
that most Nigerians are dying to solve,
then you can package all the information
in an ebook and market it on Nairaland.
If your ebook is moderately priced and
contains very helpful information, it will sell well.

2. Affiliate marketing
If you are an affiliate marketer for any product that will
interest Nigerians, you can earn huge
profits and commissions by participating
actively in as many topics as possible
while embedding your affiliate link within your signature.

3. YouTube videos
If you have monetized your YouTube videos with Google Adsense, a smart way to boost
your revenue is to upload a link to your
video in the relevant section on Nairaland.
However, you must bear in mind,
however, that only entertaining or
problem-solving videos will attract
attention.

4. Blog traffic
This is one of the commonest ways people make money
indirectly on Nairaland. If you have a blog
and have monetized it with Google
Adsense or any other ad network, you can
generate more revenue by pulling massive
traffic to your blog from Nairaland.
A smart way to go about this is to copy an
interesting post on your blog or its
excerpt and paste it on Nairaland, and
then add the link to your blog under the
post. Nairaland members who find the
post interesting will follow the link to
your blog to read more of your content.

5. Graphics design
Ever since Nairaland
introduced the Nairaland targeted ads
scheme, which allows advertisers to float
their ad banners in specific sections of
the forum, there has been an increased
demand for graphics designers.
Nairaland advert banners must meet
certain size and other requirements, and
only seasoned graphics designers can
produce beautiful designs while meeting
these requirements. If you have a solid
background in graphics design, you can
help people design their banner ads as
well as other graphic projects, such as
logos, ebook covers, sales pages, website
headers, and so on.

skills and talent into cash by offering
freelance writing services. Nairaland
members frequently require the services
of skilled writers to help them with
application letters, business plans,
proposals, blog posts, newspaper articles,
research publications, resume writing and
so on.

8. Search Engine Optimization (SEO) services
This involves adopting tactics aimed at
improving the position of a website in
search engine result pages. More and
more Nigerians are becoming aware of the
effectiveness of the internet as a
marketing and lead generation tool. This
explains why there’s increasing demand
for SEO experts.

help people achieve great results with this
strategy, then market your skills on

customers.

Built in Africa focuses on entrepreneurs, startups
and technologies that are born on the continent
and empower the continent’s citizens.

Online communities and discussion platforms are
the cornerstone of the internet. In this second
instalment of our “Built in Africa” series, we
feature one of the most prominent online
communities to come out of Africa – Nairaland –
and its founder Seun Osewa.

In Africa you don’t really hear about forums or
insanely popular platforms (which work like
Reddit or Craig’s List) that are built in Africa for
an African market. Africans are active on forums,
but those these are generally part of other
networks, such as gaming, chat and specialised
groups. Nairaland is the exception.

I first came across Nairaland while at university
— all the Nigerian expats used it to connect with
home, keep up with the local gossip and be part
of the society that seemed so far away.

The platform is an online community targeted at
Nigerians, and with more than 1 198 439
registered accounts, it is currently ranked as the
seventh most visited site in Nigeria according to
Alexa.com. The site receives more than 6-million
unique users from around 16-million visits, and it
reportedly has more than 60-million pageviews
monthly.

Building a multi-million dollar internet empire
The founding of the platform and the company
that followed happened almost by chance.

“The process that led to the decision to start
Nairaland started when I stumbled on a website
called hotornot.com,” Osewa tells me.

The idea of rating the opposite sex (and seeing
how other people rated as well) was a simple
concept that Osewa got addicted to very quickly.
Soon enough a business idea was born.

“I learnt that the creators of the site made money
by selling ads on it. That was the first time I
realised that one could make money by building a
popular site and selling ads on it,” he says.

The first iteration of Nairaland was born.

The journey to monetisation was a little trickier
for the new community. The task for Osewa was
figuring out how to make money out of the
growing traffic. Learning about ad networks and
how they could help him circumvent having to
sell ad space directly to clients was key.

“I read a blog post titled “blogging for dollars”
where a blogger described how he made
thousands of dollars monthly by just joining the
biggest advertising network,” he says. “This was
essential, because using an ad network allowed
me to focus on growing Nairaland’s traffic
knowing that if I could make Nairaland popular, I
would automatically make a lot of money. It
allowed me to be focused on traffic.”

It was only years later that Osewa began to
introduce the idea of forums to the site as mobile
telephony became popular in Nigeria. At the time,
Osewa says that “the government had just allowed
private telecom companies to build GSM
networks”.

I noticed that the forum had something no
other Nigerian forum had at the time — it
was focused on issues that Nigerians at
home cared about. Other Nigerian forums
online focused on issues only Nigerians
living outside cared about, like racism and
US politics, but on that little forum, we
discussed truly Nigerian issues.

For the internet entrepreneur, this was the last
piece of the puzzle to his multi-million dollar
empire. So instead of just a rating site, he decided
to build a forum that all Nigerians at home and
abroad would care about and use.

According to Osewa, the goal was to gain enough
traffic to be able to turn a profit through
advertising. What happened, however, surprised
him.

“I didn’t expect it to become the most visited
Nigerian/African website and hold that position
for many years,” he says. “That was a pleasant
surprise.”

Monetisation challenges
As the site became more popular it would make
sense that Osewa would reach his goal — to make
a lot of money via ads. As it turns out, it’s not
that easy.

“Initially, monetising the forum was very easy,”
he explains. “I had some previous experience with
the best online advertising network available at
the time, so I knew that they could convert
traffic into money reliably.”

Osewa and his team would focus on making
Nairaland more successful, and in return the ad
network would reward them with impressive
cheques every month. It seemed simple enough.

“It wasn’t entirely cost-free, of course: we were
required to censor our content to make sure that
nothing they didn’t approve of would appear on
any page of Nairaland. Some of our members
didn’t like this censorship — nobody likes to be
censored — but we thought it was a small price
and didn’t really have any choice, anyway.”

But censorship wasn’t the only problem that the
platform had to find a way around — it was also
becoming a victim of its own success.

As the platform grew bigger it became harder for
the team to guarantee that none of its millions of
pages wouldn’t contain any content that the
advertising network didn’t approve of.

The team scrambled to “more aggressively”
censor what they could in order to remain part of
the ad networks but in end it was no impossible
— the members of the community would have
the final say.

So the ad network “kicked us out for good,”
recalls Osewa.
In the end getting kicked out did wonders for the
platform, as the team decided that it would be
better to build their own ad platform and keep
Nairaland as free of censorship as possible.

Always solve the problems people complain
about
“Problems worth solving are usually the ones that
people complain about all the time,” Osewa says
when I ask where African innovators should focus
their talents.

He argues that it really is that simple when it
comes to innovating.

When you this from a Nigerian perspective, the
problems that need solving become glaringly
obvious. Nigerians and Nigerian Twitter are
concerned about power and the cost and lack of
electricity.

“We complain about power all the time. We
complain about the cost of buying, running,
fueling and maintaining the small generators that
every business must buy in order to be able to
get anything done.”

Nigerians are also concerned about the cost of
travelling outside the country and the current
healthcare standards.

“We complain about having to travel out of the
country, which few of us can afford, and to get
good healthcare if faced with challenging medical
conditions.”

Nairaland and the future
When it comes to Nairaland, Osewa feels that
doing the same thing over and over in different
locations makes no sense — which is why he feels
that Nairaland is likely to remain a very Nigerian
forum and not expand to other parts of the
continent.

“For Nairaland to expand outside Nigeria, we’d
have to change the essence of what Nairaland is
about,” he tells me, and that’s just something he
will not do.
