[quote author=trix!]This is the first section where I've see the warning "To avoid being banned, please ensure that your post is not offensive to Islam." boldly written, and yet your post says



People have been intimidated so much that they have to tip toe around islamic threads to avoid being banned, is that how to stay connected and build relationships?

I personally think threads that hit the front page be excluded from this islamic rule or such threads shouldn't hit the front page. You cant expect to have the same front page exposure as other people and insist on gagging people from expressing themselves because you feel its offensive to islam.

Pastors and Christianity generally get bashed every other day on the front page, or is Christianity more tolerant than islam? [/quote]There's a clear difference between expressing yourself RATIONALLY and being offensive. If anyone is here to express himself in an ethical way, I don't think such a person should have a problem with the red warning.

But, sincerely, I think a similar warning should be placed on Christian threads too. I think this will discourage those who have nothing to contribute to religious threads but spew trash and leave. I'm a Muslim, and I'm pleased to be one. And I see no reason why a SANE Muslim should bash other people's religion.

So, let others respect Islaam as well.

Arnoldo: Yeah its time consuming

Yeah, it's not for the lazy. In fact, internet business, generally, is for the dedicated and the zealous.
So, if you think there's a way you can make 4-5 figures overnight, or with the click of a button, or on autopilot, you're fooling yourself!
Ask those who are making it big online (Darren Rowse, John Chow, or even Nigerians like Michael Chibuzor), and they'll tell you affiliate marketing is a proven goldmine.

Igweka: 2nd to comment. May the souls of my gallant colleague rest in perfect peace respectively.

It seems a time bomb just blew off in your brain!
On a sad thread, about sad news, you could still think about your comment's position.
I'm sure the condolence statement you made afterwards was not sincere. You actually came to compete for comment positions. (And that's what thoughtless kids do on Nairaland these days).
And even sadder is the fact that you weren't taught numbering and positions in school. So, after 5 comments, the next one is the second, right? Brainless thing!

I think this post should help. It explains the causes of halitosis (bad breath) and how to cure it:

What became of the much younger Dimeji Bankole? He stole N10billion. So, this thing isn't a matter of age.

Zet72: na who be this olodo we de compare life and Death, chinko na chinko no comparism at all,do u notice how this ur chinko makes noise when switching on ,did u no that there is no difference b/w u ,that uses tecno n3,t3 and the person that uses tecno of 3500 or any other china made phone of 1500 or better look at the two phones review or specification b4 talking trash.
NT i naither use samsung p nor tecno

Abeg, keep shut joor! You've never used the phone, and you're here spewing nonsense from your biased brain.

In case you don't know, reviews are given by those who have bought and used a product. Not by fo.ols with rigid, biased mindsets who won't appreciate what is good simply because they hate it.

[quote author=De_ Law]an so what? muslims and this their low key mentality.[/quote]Sorry, but your comment just showed your "lower key" mentality.

While I understand how painful it is when some of your colleagues lowball their charges, I don't think having a registered body and setting a minimum charge will solve the problem.
This is Nigeria. Even after forming a body and setting a minimum charge, some of your members will still accept ridiculously cheap offers in secret.
My advice to you is that you target international clients rather than Nigerians who won't pay you your worth.
Being a freelance writer, I've almost always worked for American and Canadian clients because they pay your worth. A Nigerian guy once contacted me, offering to pay N100 for a 500 word article. Imagine that. When I charge some of my clients as high as $40 (N6000) for an article, and they pay readily and gladly.
Once again, if you want to really make money, go global. If your services are really of high quality and you know your stuff, you'll soar high, financially. Many individuals and businesses outside Nigeria need people like you, and they're ready to pay you well.

Anyone who takes time to read the interview in full would find it very interesting, just like I did.

Medically certified or not, whoever will die in a road accident surely will!

There's no reality as sure as death. We've heard people of all ages die (1, 2, 3, up to 100 years).
At times, one may be forced to ask the question: "what's the essence of this life?"
Money, connection, status, etc. don't guarantee long life. And the more people try to escape this monster called death, the more they run into it.
I truly believe that there's no caution against death. It will just come when it will, how it will, and whence it will.

I only published a post 2 days ago. Even after publishing the post, it was still intact. It was yesterday that I discovered it's missing. I didn't tamper with the design or code in any way.

Koolking: Blackberry should make the list because of its obvious lagging/freezing and poor battery life

When all you'll run after is "London-used". Why won't you start complaining?

donsteady: black berry porsches suppose to top the list. i hate my, just that i can sell it if not i could have done that long ago.

Who are you fooling? Stop pretending to be what you're not.

Okay, show us a picture of you holding the porshe and we'll believe you actually have one.

Hello folks,
I just discovered that the sidebar on my blog has disappeared.
What can I do? I need help fast.
The blog URL is:

Thanks.

skyhighweb: just buy a normal size laptop, when designing site u spend more time on ur PC, which means u gonna have to strain ur eyes alot wen using mini.

Thanks bro, that alone is worth considering as an advantage.

sisqology: Nigerians fail to understand simple english language. Did i ever say mini was faster? I only said it can run all these apps, as i use them as well on my mini. And i also said; if you code well, ur site will be sweet on all screen resolutions. Oponu

I don't think calling your father names is right for you as a son. I know he'll never forgive you if he learns that you called him an "oponu". SMH.
Bloody liar, where are the screenshots showing ALL the programs you claim to be running on your mini?
You can't come here and start making empty claims.
I challenged you for evidence, and all you could do was come back with insults upon your father.
*SMH*

fynewaka: Still doesn't guarantee you a place in Aso Rock by 2015!

Mr Soothsayer, so you're the one who can tell that?

Great display of empathy there. Good one, Buhari! I'm sure this will seal more st.upi.d lips.

sisqology: Brother, battery wise: go ƒσя mini


Speed wise: normal lappy


Its nw up to Ɣọ̥μ̥ sir

Don't tell me you're now admitting that standard laptops are truly faster.

sisqology: A big F.O.O.L, haven't you ever seen a single RAM of 4GB? Nigerians and stupi--dity!


@poster; if a mini laptop; Ŋ☺ problem as you will have a better battery, if you want a bigger RAM, buy it. If you code well, and Ɣọ̥μ̥ knw ur CSS well, believe me, it will show well on bigger screens which is what i do!


I use samsung

Show us screenshots of Dreamweaver, GoLive, Flash and Fireworks since you said you use ALL of them.
Only if you do that will I believe you.
OP, if he doesn't show any screenshot, take him for a liar.

sisqology: Big lies! I use a mini laptop! Code well and ur website will be perfect on all platforms. I run all dis programs Ɣọ̥μ̥ have mentioned and Ŋ☺ problem with them

Ode, how many web designers have you seen using mini laptops? Keep rejoicing in mediocrity.

ediko5: I appreciate ur post, thanks a lot.

My friend, don't let anyone deceive you here. Buy a standard sized laptop, and you'll enjoy it much better.
Besides, a standard laptop runs faster than a mini. The processor speed is more and is more powerful.
Again, the maximum RAM you can ever get in today's market for a mini is 2GB.
As for the slowpoke who said I'm lying, ask him if he ever tried running the same programs on a standard PC. The diff is clear.

Freeopod: If the story is true then he's nothing but a foolish fool

No, he's not a fool (because fools are human beings).
Simply put, he's a he-goat!

This is the result of the shooting games these youths play on video games.

Any of the standard HP models that fall within that range will work perfectly for you.
Just ensure that it has these specifications, at least:
320GB hard disk drive, 3GB RAM
With these, you'll be fine.

Saluman: To be honest, I have hears from many muslims that no islamic country has is truly practicing sharia. I aksed about Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Morocco, Turkey, Syria, Afghanistan etc.....they all said no.



Is that a problem with Sharia itself?

Man, you don't believe everything you hear. Not every Muslim knows much about his religion. And most Muslims who'll open their mouths to tell tales about other countries have never been there.
The sharia is in use in Saudi Arabia and most other middle East nations. Though the implementation might not be 100%. In fact, it's not. But for someone to say they're not following it at all, that's a blunder.
