I'm a male with the natural kinky Black African hair. I see some other people's curly hair and I like it. I've tried to replicate it on my hair by applying relaxer but I've noticed something: When my hair is wet (that is, immediately after bathing or washing my hair), it takes that lovely curly beautiful texture I want, but when the water on the hair dries up and the hair becomes dry, it goes back to the ugly kinky looks. Please, what do I do to the hair to make it retain that wet look all day long? Is there anything I can be applying to keep the hair looking fresh and curly all day long as it looks when it's wet, and how do I apply it? Thanks. I may attach some photos to show you what I mean better.

I need a laptop. Please can I get a fairly used laptop from eBay or any other online store? How much should I be talking about? The laptop should have, at least, 2GB RAM and 250gb HDD or even higher.

My system refused to boot. It says "no option to boot from". What do I do? I bought this laptop from Aliexpress and I've been managing it. But since today it has refused to boot. It will just show the first startup screen and it stops there. Before now, when it does like that, I'll just tilt the screen a bit and the boot process will continue. But now, no headway. The laptop has been having this flex problem. It cannot stand upright on its own. I have to wedge something at the back. Please, I just need to get it to boot at least just one more time so that I can evacuate all my important files from the system. Help. What do I do?

Story highlights
Morsy and more than 100 others are sentenced to death over a 2011 jailbreak
The sentences can be appealed and must still be confirmed by the Grand Mufti
Cairo (CNN)— Ousted former Egyptian President Mohamed Morsy was sentenced to death Saturday in a Cairo court. He had been convicted in a 2011 prison break.
Morsy's name, along with those of more than 100 other defendants, will be passed to the Grand Mufti, the highest legal authority in Egypt who will have the final say on their sentence. The verdict will be confirmed on June 2.
This was the harshest sentence that Morsy could have expected to receive in the case. He will be able to appeal the sentence.
The leader of the Muslim Brotherhood, Mohamed Badie, and a former parliament speaker, Mohamed Saad El-Katatny, were also referred to the Grand Mufti in the jailbreak case.
Cairo's military-installed government has banned the Muslim Brotherhood, branding it a terrorist group -- an allegation it denies

Morsy and his co-defendants were accused of collaborating with the Palestinian Islamist group Hamas and the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah to break into several prisons across Egypt in January 2011 and of facilitating the escape of Morsy and 20,000 others.
The jailbreak came amid the chaos of the January 2011 popular uprising that toppled longtime strongman Hosni Mubarak and led to Morsy's election the following year.
Espionage case
In a separate case involving espionage charges, another 16 defendants -- but not Morsy -- were also sentenced to death Saturday. The verdict will be confirmed on June 2.
Among those sentenced to death are Mohamed El-Shater, deputy leader of the Muslim Brotherhood; Mohamed El-Beltagy, a former Muslim Brotherhood member of parliament; Ahmed Abdel Aty, a former presidential aide; and Emad Shahin, a political science professor now in the United States.
Those defendants present chanted "Allahu Akbar," meaning "God is the greatest," as they were sentenced to death. They remained in the cage where prisoners are held in the courtroom, waving to journalists and lawyers as they chanted.
Violence against protesters
Morsy, who became Egypt's first democratically elected President in June 2012, was deposed by a popularly backed military coup in July 2013.
He was already sentenced to 20 years in prison in April this year on charges involving violence against protesters outside the presidential palace in December 2012. But he was acquitted of murder in the deaths of protesters.
After that verdict, his Freedom and Justice Party, the Muslim Brotherhood's political wing, called the trial a "travesty of justice."

Smartweb is yearly hosting for N2,500
NameCheap dot com is yearly hosting for N1,600

Both support WordPress

For Namecheap you will be paying in dollars na so it may be higher than the N1600 coz of the Naira to Dollar exchange rate. But does Namecheap give free domain when you purchase hosting?

We all know what the people of the North has been going through in the hands of the Boko Haram insurgence. Recently, we heard that some rescued girls (more than 200 of them) came back pregnant.
Now, they are going to bear supposedly "evil" children. People have continued to give their opinions on what should be done to these girls/women and their unwanted Boko Haram pregnancy.

This is what one "born-again" woman said (she's one of these type of churchy DeeperLife-type of Christians, but not sure which church she attends):

"All these Boko Haram pregnancy shouldn't be allowed to stay. They are devilish children. They should either abort the pregnancy or kill the children upon delivery. They are devilish and an abomination".


I was really shocked on hearing this. Why has religion reduced us to animals. This statement came from someone who, by the faith she professes , is supposed to be talking about showing love to both the pregnant girls and their unborn children. For humanity's sake, we are all human beings. It doesn't matter whether it's a Boko Haram person that impregnated those unfortunate ladies. It has happened, it has happened. Those unborn babies shouldn't be made to suffer for what they know nothing about. If they didn't come through the Boko Haram guys, they will come through someone else. Please, let us stop this animal thinking and love ourselves. Love knows no religion or tribe. You don't need to believe in God or religion to show some love to your fellow human.
After we'll be looking down on atheists, but atheists behave more human than all of us carrying Bible and Quran up and down. Is it what religion teaches us? To hate and despise on unfortunate fellows?

If you host your website with smartweb, your website will experience downtime almost everyday. This means your site will be offline most of the time esp in the evening. It seems the dumbos behind that smartweb turn off the servers before closing for the day. You wouldn't want that to happen to your website would you?

Of course, I wouldn't. But when last did you use their service? Coz some other persons are telling me opposite of what you are saying.

Goodnuel:
A domain name is cheap na.. you can get for less than $3 for a year.

From where pls?

If you know you like yourself and you want to succeed in whatever reason you are starting a website...DON'T TRY SMARTWEB OR ELSE YOU WILL REGRET YOUR LIFE!!

I should not try smartweb? Anything with them?

Ben1975:
Ok first don't go for free hosting. Going for free hosting when you are trying to create a professional image is not a good idea.

Like our brothers have mentioned hosting is not expensive, even if you don't have any money now you can save up pennies until you are ready to go.

I also suggest you get a bulk of good articles ready for your pro site so you can hit the floor running people want to see plenty of content that helps them solve problems - that's where you focus attention should be create articles that satisfy a need.

SmartWebNG is a Nigerian company yes. Just because it is from our country doesn't mean its no good. it has over 100,000 clients and has been around for over 10 years don't be afraid. I have found that some of their packages are more robust than that of many foreign hosts I have used in the past.

When you purchase the hosting you get the domain free yes, just make sure you don't accidently click on any of the addons you don't want to pay for and you select the correct hosting package (the one you want is right at the bottom).

I have been penalized once or twice yes for putting links in my posts so now I don't try. If people want me to give them addresses now I just tell them to email me instead.

Thanks a lot, bro. I'll go with your advice. Perhaps, I should start now gathering contents so that when I'm ready, I'll come out with a bang. One other issue I'll be having now is "niche selection" - as it's called - and content generation. I don't know which niche I can readily go into that is profitable, and how to generate ideas on what to write or get topics on what to write on. I see all these Nigerian "entertainment bloggers" and you know the type of things they blog about. That's not what I'll like to do. I mean "real" blogging. What are the available areas of blogging available, and how can one generate regular contents to blog about. Not forgetting how the blog can be monetized as well.

I was under the same condition and didn't pull the trigger, why her own action different from my own, she will have to explain it in a 100 page microsoft word document, using font 7 and single spacing.

Hi akagson

If you want to make money from your blog don't go for free or subdomains, it will make your site seem cheap and people will not take you too seriously.

There are 2 domain providers I can offer you that are not monthly payments but yearly payments just save up the little pannies then when you have enough patronize them

SmartWeb dot com dot ng N2500 yearly robust platform with WordPress and everything (recommended)

NameCheap dot com N1600 yearly. Even though this one is cheap I am fairly new to it so I cannot give you the low down sorry.

Then when you have your hosting. You can put affiliate products on it to generate an income. But you must take the project seriously to make that happen.

When you have set up your hosting contact me again and I will show you how you can make a living form you blog

Ben Ajose

Thanks, Ben Joe. I will like the idea you are passing across. The Smartweb, the N2500 is it for both the hosting and domain name? Are they reliable enough (because it seems like a Naija company)?
Also, the NameCheap, do they provide me with hosting too?

P.S.- You made use of "dot com" in place of ".com". Does Nairaland penalize for posting direct links? *just curious*

I want to start a WordPress blog. Considering that I'm not assured that I'll be having the money to pay for domain name and hosting for every month, what should I do. Any cheap alternative?

You don't have a problem;what the visa officers want to hear is what you've been doing with your life since you left high school.Sometimes;they don't ask..they just skip the question..Visa na God joor;if God says yes to you..not even the smartest visa officer can decline you.All the best to you all!!

Thanks bro.

Isn't this making sense, guys?

The chances is slim...

What of for a 22 yrs old who finished in 2010?

stevecrun:
If you're a genuinely going for studies;you will get your visa..It all depends on what you've been doing for the past 10 years..I don't discourage people;at least I know a few people here who got their visa at the age of 27/28 and they were going for UG with good schools and scholarship from the schools..Go do your thing bro;confidence matters brother..

My case is almost the same with him. But in my own case, I graduated in 2010 and got admitted in that same year to a Nigerian university but I dropped out and refused to continue because I just wasn't enjoying the quality of education I was getting. Will it stand against me in any way? I'm 22.

kennyrony:
Red Flag....

Meaning he stand no chance?

Hello, house. I have this little question, and I need answer. When applying to a US college for undergraduate studies, you are usually requested to fill in your high school CGPA. In Nigerian secondary schools - or at least, the one I attended - they do not usually calculate our CGPA. Subjects are not even allocated unit loads. How can I calculate my CGPA with my secondary school results?

GOD BLESS AMERICA

The country that i love and keep close to my heart, a country that your dreams can come true if you are hardworking, a country where you can attend any college or university without a penny in your pocket throught loans and scholarships.


Whao, its amazing this thread is still alive!!!!!, i joined this thread in August 2010 because i was interested in coming to the U.S for graduate studies and potentially become a citizen of this great country...this thread is part of my success story today, the likes of OJAP, SEEDORD, FEMILANGY, FEMI2020 are part of my success story, my strategy was watch, listen and dissect information from this thread and mold it to my benefit, and that worked for me when i went to the embassy for my student visa interview...( check dec 14 2010 for my interview details on the thread).

With that been said, my journey in America has been a success story with a lot of hardwork, optimism, and dynamism. To cut the long story short, i have two masters now and work as an Information Analyst with one of the biggest banks in the world, i never came here with any large money, i was just optimistic, hopeful, looked unto God . Yea, America is not easy like people say (FOR LAZY PEOPLE), but if you are ready to study hard, beleive you me, you will be ok and not lack.

The purpose of my long epistle is to encourgae you guys....(the ones that are really ready to come study and become someone in life), do not let anybody discourage you, follow your heart and passion, i am a living testimony, i landed at JFK with 70 dollars in my pocket in dec 2010 but as of today i make almost six figures/annum working as a SQL DEVELOPER, i never knew anything about I.T while in Nigeria, but because i was determined to be a change agent for my generation, i strived hard, focused on my masters and through the Grace of God, i dont lack anything because am highly contempted with what i have.

P.S

THIS IS A GREAT THREAD, IT CHANGED MY LIFE AND SOME FRIENDS' LIVES, DO NOT COME TO THE THREAD WITH THE "I KNOW ALL MENTALITY" RATHER, COME HERE TO ASSIMILATE INFORMATION. THANK YOU ALL AND BEST OF LUCK.

My brother, you have just gingered me. I'm really grateful for this epistle. It just gave me some fresh energy to pursue my dream. Thank you.
