Politics / Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by dayotee2(m): 11:23am On Nov 30, 2011
Godman_n:

I disagree with u. Buhari has supporters. Buhari is clean. My probs is that he is getting too old. We want young men like him. He should help us fish out one; and should not insist on contesting again.

Buhari is not clean, how can a clean man put up a coup to take over the governance of a nation thereby rubbishing a democratic process and mandate of the people , (his comment on abacha sold him out for me , claiming abacha did not steal a kobo from Nigeria is shameful) , the fact that he was neva probed or accused doesn't make him clean , just like every other past military head of state, none has ever been probed or indicted , let us just leave it at that , and the only time we ever attempted on probing them was at oputa panel and buhari did not show up to be questioned.

Buhari is in the same class as Babaginda, Abacha, Abulsalam , etc
Politics / Re: Why Must Buhari Be The President For Nigeria To Be Good? by dayotee2(m): 10:48am On Nov 30, 2011
my question is when was the last time you wept for Nigeria? This man (Buhari) wept publicly for his dear Country Nigeria why would he retire, abeg make try his luck you never know did I just said luck > that was the same thing that brought Us to our knee Goodluck

Quick corretion, buhari did not cry for Nigeria, he busted into pre-planed tears (with his friends) when he got to 'this been the last time he would be able to contest for presidency' part of his dry speech , it was a cry of defeat as he sensed he has lost this one again after seeing the acceptance level of GEJ.

Just so you know, buhari is not a democrat, till date he has never won any election, never ever not even a primary , 2ice he contested on ANPP platform he did not contest and did not win but other contestant (Rochas okorocha, Harry Akande etc) were forced to step down for him , even in cpc he didnt contest in any primary election , he left ANPP for CPC because Shakarau will not step down for him and he saw it coming ,

The solution to Nigeria's problem in not in any of the idea Buhari holds currently , shamefully he thinks he has supporters but in actual fact, most seemingly intelligent youth that support his last candidacy did so because of Bakare ,
Webmasters / Re: Punch Newspaper Website Free Again? by dayotee2(m): 1:08pm On Dec 13, 2009
hm,  this is an interesting post, it is even more interesting with Yawa leading the argument of a wrong doing by punch.

As against yawa's argument, I will like to see this from another angle, Yes punch tried out a business model which a lot of people including me didnt see working/succeeding in the Nigeria enviroment but there is no error in trying anything in this world anyway, business itself is risk and in steping out to implement anything you take risk either good or bad the worst thing that can happen is that you fail and try again.

As in the case of punch, credibly feasibility studies was carried out by professionals, I was a bit fortunate to review a document by the a team from LBS but the truth is punch was ahead of time (2 years from reports) and everybody knows that.

There is nothing wrong with punch did but in the Nigeria environment its a big deal, you may want to read this post on google's plan for paid news also:

http://blogswork./2009/09/10/google-plans-paid-news-platform/

When this was first implemented, I seek to know the reason behind this and the argument was: punch business is sustain mainly by the print edition of the publication and with the introduction of the mobile edition and e-paper (page by page version of the print edition online called e-paper first from punch in Nigeria and in testing the market it has been free for over 2 years) of punch newspaper, the print edition stand the rick of losing purchasing power since you can now read the stories in your cars, molue and anywhere on your mobile phone, the mobile edition will sure contest with the print if it is free, so its best to restrict access and balance the circulation of the paper with the mobile content less the print edition falls short in sales while the online remains free.

However after implementing this, some argue, why should I pay for the mobile and e-paper but the web which have the same content remains free, again another valid argument from business point of view and as such the web version was placed behind a pay wall.

Now the question in my head is this, where did punch get it wrong? there is nothing wrong with restricting your content, that is a no issue, it is punch's content and before the website it wasn't free, the print is not free so if they decide to make the web paid service also, i see nothing wrong in this in the business sense, but what went wrong?

Some factors I think was against them includes:

1. Nigeria's environment
2. The cost of subscription, in my sense of thinking its too expensive, I will rather buy the print where i will see advert and gain concept on graphic.
3. Wrong Timing

The decision to make it free was made I believe after the management reviewed the success or failure of the business model, did it work did it not work, the public may never know but I am happy punch is free again.
Religion / Re: Pastor Bimbo Odukoya Is In Hell? by dayotee2(m): 12:11pm On Dec 13, 2009
When i died i found myself at Heaven’s Gate, there i was told by some angels that Jesus was unhappy with me, they showed me the mansion that Jesus had built for me but they…: I think the time has come for us Christians to stop thinking that all that we live for on earth is to get a mansion in heaven as a reward for our tolling on earth! Let us get back to the bible and read well and understand what the scripture is saying on that. Beside baba was not allowed to enter heaven, he was at the heaven’s gate and at the same time was showed the mansion! My question is, was the mansion adjacent the gate or opposite the gate maybe by the gate?

thanks bro for this.

My stand on this issue is simple, this is another gospel that paul warned against, what is the gospel in this? baba obadare did not die, which doctor confirmed him dead and why was his death not announced immediatly knowing his status in the xtain dom, he is one great preacher whose death news would have spread like fire and not the sillence audience it claim to have gotten.

Another thing about his claim is this: baba is blind, could not see and proberbly had never seen pastor bimbo on earth , how did he recognise her in hell? she has been gone for like 2 years now , the fire should have gotten some part of her face, how should he still recognice her even with evidence dat he didnt know her on earth, this means i will recognise Apostle paul without recognision when i get to heaven (if I ever get there)?

For conclusion: God is no resperter of person and his judgement is fair and true, if he will not spear pastor bimbo for wearing mini skirt which only a blind obadare saw, he will not spear a man who divided the gartering of the saints.

The is no truth in the vision, lets not forget: the devil can also show people vision, may God grant his saint the grace to deserve spirit.

Finally: it is important to state here that story of lazarus and the rich man was a parable, and it is to teach on the need to have treasures in heaven ,
Webmasters / Re: Godaddy.com Issue. by dayotee2(m): 10:53pm On Nov 19, 2009
I do not use Godaddy, before I started using the host company I use now, which is relatively as cheap as what godaddy offers I had to ready several online hosting company reviews and customer reviews. I will advice damola1 (poster) to take the pain of reading reviews of this site and customer experience, there are a lot of website that have this information online and after reading I can assure you, you will not go to Godaddy or 1and1 even if its free.

They do not honor there terms and condition, and any business that doesn't do that is a fraud ,

Hostmonster I understand is good and for them to get yawa's approval then they must be very good only that they dont offer windows hosting but I understand they are good sha, a friend uses them and hasn't ever complain to be about there service or anything before.

Webmasters / Re: 100 Best Developers In Nigeria? Says Who? by dayotee2(m): 12:23am On May 02, 2009
Hi guys,

@yawa, another fantastic post from you, you sure have depth, you are deeply appreciated again.

Now to the topic, I must confess I find it hard understanding what some names are doing on that list, for crying out loud, gbenga sesan is NOT a developer neither is Seun known for his development skill I respect seun's intellectual ability and innovative ideas but he is NOT a developer still.

Its also important we clarify that developing a website is FAR different from designing a website, one can be very good in graphic and be a dead head in writing codes.

I have worked with a guy who is a wizard in writing codes, he is just a crazy programmer but VERY poor at front end design, should we then crucify this guy because he lack a simple ability? should we crucify him for building on his strength and been the best in it?

In UK, people submit there best work in a contest and the submitted work is used in the voting process, not just names ,  Nigeria has got thousandsss of creative developers, and its absolute nonsense to just name names,  lets see there works ,

Remain creative my naija people.

Webmasters / Re: I'm Testing Younaija.com: What Do You Think? by dayotee2(m): 12:51am On Mar 02, 2009
Hi cloverg,

Your site is nice, I like it and feel proud its coming from a Nigerian brain.

But I do hv words of advice that need not be given much attention if it will require much work or disturb your business strategy:

1. I think there is too much restriction on the site, every other aspect of the site except for the home page is restricted to registered members only, I think you should loosen up a bit and allow people have a feel of the site. this has its odds also, so think it through

2. Your About us page: hm,  you may want to check up some words there:

Before getting to know an YouNaija member, you can read their profile and even see how they're connected to you through the friends network

First, you have 'before getting to know "an youNaija member", that should be "a youNaija member" and not "an"

secondly: I think there is wrong presentation of information here, if you say "before I get to know a member, I can read their profile and see there network of friends, " I want to believe what you meant to say is that before I network with a member, I can read ,


and lastly:

YouNaija.com is administered an owned by a consortium of innovative business leaders, including Umar Abu Bakar , Ali Andani, Reuben Quakoo & AceSoft UK Corporation.

this should read thus: YouNaija.com is administered and owned by a consortium of innovative business leaders, including Umar Abu Bakar , Ali Andani, Reuben Quakoo and AceSoft UK Corporation.

Generally, you guys have done a good job, I read through your "Terms and Condition" its a masterpiece and keep it up.

@franel79

with all due respect, I agree with others who have condemned your site.

Some quick things you may find helpful:

1. Your color combination is questionable, why green and blue?

2.
"BN:953419  Registered With The Corporate Affairs Commission Of Nigeria"
what is this suppose to mean? That you have a business name registered with CAC so what? you should display your RC number and not BN number. sincerly this doesnt win JOBs in the market and making so much noice about it doesnt make it more visible ,  the point is, either remove it or place it under your logo (by the way, does your company have a logo? it didnt reflect on your website though)

3. why are your text align to the center and why is your company profile on EVERY page including About us page? In the case of your profile page, it is called tautology

4. Frank I beg you, remove your pix from the site, you should be presenting your business as an entity of its own and not you.

5. ALL your images are extensively stretched, any reason why?

6. I think you should learn how to use dreamweaver or any better WYSIWYG editor apart from front page which I believe you used in designing the said website. Also I recommend you learn how to use CSS, it will help you alot.

I can continue ,  there are just so many things wrong with the site but in all fairness, its a fair start and wish you all the best as you step up your game in the industry.

High Regards

Hi yawa,

I must confess this is a nice post and a clear display of selflessness and professionalism. I Just want to express my deep respect for you again and wish you a fruitful 2009.

@smartsoft: you tried it in 2006, whaooo , don't you think it is time you give it another shot? try it again and lets know if it works out now.

Also I think advertising in such magazine could be a good idea too as you are sure that any contact from such effort is more than 30% serious and pls I beg all my friends, Lets stop making this our work look like child's play by offering website design and hosting for N10, 000. Most people refer to such adverts when negotiating with me and I often laugh and wonder how profitable such an offer is.

Wishing you all a fruitful 2009.

You make me laugh, dont you think am in public relation already? how do u think I will relate with clients if I dont build my communication skill? well for me, I believe am equally doing public relation as a web developer because, every website is a public image of any cooperation and its should be part of public relation industry , if you know what i mean.

@smart

I dont think there is as much money in web dev as there is in public relation , if u know ur way sha.

ok yawa, I have seen that thread.

The guy "sanyaele" is a good guy, a brilliant developer, fun to work with and creative in his dealings and I respect him a lot. I want to believe is just under heavy pressure as at the time of the thread and should have stayed away from public commenting on the issue, since punch has refuse to address the press or make public comment on the issue, he has since been corrected anyway.

yawa-ti-de:

Based on your professionalism, I know you will succeed, if you haven't already.  The last time I alerted the forum of problems with Punch (having to do with punchng.com and punchontheweb.com serving the same files as well as the former being flagged for a virus by FF), I almost got chewed by one of the "developers".  In fact, the person even went as far as saying that uploading the same content to 2 separate urls, as opposed to redirecting traffic from one to the other, wasn't a big deal.

Thanks once again.

Thank for your kind words, you sure have pleansant ways with words.

please share that forum post link with me, I will like to read the thread but I have a kind of feeling of "who" the developer in question can be. I can remember your post on punch when the server of was hacked and this ,

I agree with you my brother. That is the problem with us "developers", we always think people are as techy as we are but we are always wrong.

Considering you helped them fix it as a non-employee, perhaps they should hire you as a consultant

well am very close to the family and if I didn't tell you have left, you will think am still an employee but am happy running my own firm now and doing what I love doing "adding value to cooperation".

I would have posted a reply since but needed to have confirmed the problem solved before posting anything.

Am not sure am suppose to do this (since am no longer managing the punch website).

I didn't see the issue as a BIG problem (since it happen often on my system and had stopped it using a simply browser config) until I read your post and I immediately alerted my colleague on how to fix the problem and am happy to tell you the problem has been fix, well its all server config issue but its been fixed now sha.

oga mi, it is not what you think oo, I deeply respect your definition and appreciate the fact that you were generous enof to visit the thread and added your post.

but my main reason for starting this thread is not just for me, yes i want to know what web masters call a website but beyond me, a lot of people will also want to know, if not today maybe tomorrow and maybe the day after that.

so this thread may not be ending soon, even when we get the most perfect definition. Somebody will still benefit from our exchange of ideas.
Art, Graphics & Video / Re: Wwyd - "you Stole My Work!" by dayotee2(m): 2:04pm On Nov 29, 2008
My brother , I feel you but all the same you just have to keep doing what is right.

Sincerely it a BIG challenge and a lot of people are not aware of the danger behind using peoples images without there express permission.

I understand at time you need to do a quick one for a low budget clients , well maybe for such clients you get the free image stuff but for high paying client just try get images u have paid for with note that you can use the image.

on sites that offer free images, i think you need to read there privacy policy and there disclaimer to know that they are not really responsible for "anything" that happens to you after the download , so my brother you are still on your own.

I have a friend who work with a big ads agency in Nigeria and the guy scout for "model" for them, the guy does not pay big models for his job except if the client say that is who they want, but he looks at people, create a mental picture of the persons look after some makeup and positioning then give an audition to such person after which the person is given a crazy contract and signs off any picture taken within the confide of the contract for live. so you see why they have a high database of images to toy with all the time.

At time they also try to mimic any image they see online, provided they can't get a license of use for such image but would still want to use the concept.

For me , I see the challenge as an oppurtuniti for someone/photographers to build naija online picture city, where pictures can be downloaded at next to nothing price , and if it be you ooo!

Thanks for sharing the corbis link with me, i didnt know of it before now.

thank you.

All the best, and if you enter any yawa for any image, remeber to call yawatide of nairaland. grin
Art, Graphics & Video / Re: Wwyd - "you Stole My Work!" by dayotee2(m): 9:26am On Nov 29, 2008
@smartsoft

I think a lot of developers falls into this category of suable offence, we try our hands of images or artworks that see online but we don't look at the law side of the issue. I also used to be like that, i use to get images online and use for my clients until a client refused me from using any images I cant produce a mail or an authorisation note from the owner to use the image either by mail or by print.

So I had to register with gettyimages and stockimages to "purchase" this images , well I then add such charges to my clients fee.

what i do now is that I make my client undertstand the images are not free and so they have to pick the bills for it. its really not that expensive to buy images and save the trouble of the future. I know getty is expensive but stock is not that expensive , you can get images for less than 1dollar.

Also, you dont always have to go online to get images, atimes the nigeria enviroment will just be good for you to get pictures without paying royalty for it. If you are in the advert industry, its BEST you create your own images/pictures. pay people small money to poss for you and snap that at will.

Finanly I strongly advise, if the project you need image for is going to be online (then pls buy those images , or you settle with http://www.sxc.hu/) but it is local (Nigeria enviroment) print jobs , I beggi, download all the images and USE them at will. before oyinbo man come nigeria come see the image, sue you, e.t.c. , it will take like forever.

below are some of the mail responses i have got on what a website is:

A website is a document/combination of files containing text, images, and media content that runs on the internet
A website is a globally visible brochure of any organisation

@mambenanje

first let me appreciate you for your mail and your kind word on my website, I appreciate is a lot. thanks.

Now back to the issue:

Let me ask you a question: what do you pride in when you see your portfolio? is it that it is growing numerable or growing in worth (have depth of creativity, professionalism and good recommendation with good customer relation, solid feedback)

I will put it this way, you know what works for you and I know what works for me, you and I know, there are phones(China) and there are PHONES (Nseries), now it depends on what you want.

I believe there is more to a client that "the just do it" mindset of max producers , you need to relate with the business in question to constantly identify there needs and align the website to there business operation. you should be able to improve business operation using the company's website.

you and I can tell when you see a cheap website.

you mention hosting in one of your post , sincerely I don't see any cheap client paying you such money that will feed your family for a year.

Live examples: I know a company in Nigeria who's major income is from 1 newspaper company, there annual hosting and maintenance runs into 10s of millions , tavia is an expensive web development company in Nigeria but check there client list , you will see depth.

I do not discourage you my friend , I will only say
Let people talk about your proficiency and creativity instead of how cheap and affordable you are, although we should be prudent in our charges less people loss faith in us

Remember the 80 - 20 rule of business.
Webmasters / Re: The Truth About The Free Website by dayotee2(m): 6:35pm On Nov 26, 2008
Yawa, I agree with you 100%.

Infact I think there should be a regulatory body that will sanction site owners and developers for crazy websites.

The http://www.anogusa.org/ would pass for a scarm site because it fails all the laws of creativity and web development with the use of clip arts and blicking text and everything on the site.

I often wonder, why would a serious organization/company go for a free website?

God will help us. I will only encourage those keeping it real to keeping doing what is right, don't compromise standard, ethic and principle of creativity for cheap max production that will belittle you and your company in the future.

Set your standard and stand by it , little drops of water makes a valuable ocean.

I will rader have 5 paying client than have 100 non-paying client, cos the only recommendation you will get from such clients will also be cheap. they will tell people of how cheap you are.

Let people talk about your proficiency and creativity instead of how cheap and affordable you are, although we should be prudent in our charges less people loss faith in us.

to all the people keeping it real , the FUTURE IS OURS.

pls help me I cant seems to stop laughing my ass out on your "lost" client's website. I also checked the developers site and I laugh more.

the site designer built his own site "http://mckharmen.com" using Microsoft Office Live Small Business free template, I think he is hosting with yahoo or something.

I tell people, in my line of work, either you are an apprentice, a mass producer or a craftsman and I see myself as a craftsman. Obviously a craftsman charges more because he takes his time to do quality work, though he might be slower.

All, please behold the free website and make your opinions known: http://www.anogusa.org/ - Mind you, this is done by an "american (actually a nigerian living in america) webmaster"

yes, you definitely get what you pay for.

I agree with yawa completely.

@alari

alari55:

What is a website? It is the hosting of a domain name. It can be mini website e.g. one page
website or major website i.e. consist of several pages. Domain name is the host name that provides memorable name to stand for numeric Internet protocol {IP} addresses. e.g.196.168.56.10 etc. Domain names are Yahoo.com, Domainmoney.biz, Hotmail.com, Google.com, etc.



hmmm, I wonder how a carpenter will be able to relate with all this technical BIG language (domain name, host name, Ip address etc), must sound like french to the poor guy. you even mention "website" in your definition.

no insult meant, I am only wondering if we can simplify our definition and stay away from bogus technical word, knowing fully well that the people we are communicating to do not know the meaning of the BIG words but MUST be communicated to.

thanks anyway , this is getting interesting to me, as it is becoming an eye opener to me as to why we find it hard to communicate well with clients in this industry as to why they should invest in a website.

lets get more pls, hope we get a simpler, clear and free of slangs (technical terms) soon.

@bjsf2006:

well am not surprise at the response you got from the free lunch offers, I always wonder why someone would want to do a website for free or for ridiculous amount, my immediate questions when I see offers like that is "what is this advert hiding from me", "does this company/poster value or have respect for time?". because to build a beautiful standard website, a lot of thinking, work, time and creativity is involve and I only wonder if this "free" ads posters go through the basic of creating a realistic website. It also tells me that lack the basic respect for time, because if you spent quality time in thinking, strategising and building a website and you then give such site out for "free", that put a lot of question on your evaluation of time and the effort you have put into the website.

well I believe you now believe for sure that there truly is no free lunch even in free land.

And to the free website posters:

whatever is worth doing is worth doing well and worth giving your best. if your time is worth the effort than price urself well.

On the seminar issue, well let me know how I can  be of assistance, I would have love to do the PHP thing, but hey ,  am a .Net man and just trying to dabble into php just for knowing sake. But I do appreciate your selfless venture in the industry and how you are making effort to help develop others in this career field.

If you don't mind, I can help in delivering talk on motivational issues that relate to having a strong on-line brand, building business relevant websites, understanding difficult clients and stuffs like that, ,   provided the seminar is holding in LAGOS.

Keep the Good job up and maintain a creative spirit in all you do.

Regards

Webmasters / Re: How Is My **Free** Css Ebook? by dayotee2(m): 1:21pm On Nov 25, 2008
Hi yawa,

I just read your CSS book and I must confess it is one of the best books I have read in a long time.

Your style of writing is so simple with precision language, and show of clear understanding of the topic in question, you will be tempted to think you are in a class, listening to a lecture from a friend that cares and not a vague noise banging in your hears with little getting into your head.

I however have issue with the criticism of www.basepointconsultants.com in your book, its ok to criticize the site, but to put it in a book, I think that’s kind of far. I believe this is the official website of a company and may not tell well of there image to people as more people read your book.

Also I suggest you title the book properly, from the first page I may be turned off to think it’s another book on xHTML … given the title “15 Short and Easy-To-Follow Lessons in Web Design and Development (First Edition)”.

Be that as it may, it is a GOOD book, it is a book that can pass for both beginners and established web developers (who do not think they know it all), and it is a clear expression of mastering and creativity.

I think you should quickly package the book for print, so that young developers (who can not afford the 5,000-10,000) books can have something to read and develop there proficiency on.

Good job man and your site is lovely website also.

High Regards

Webmasters / What Is A Website? by dayotee2(m): 5:28pm On Nov 23, 2008
Hi guys,

I have been pondering on a simple definition to give to "website", I was thinking of strategy of communicating with website novice on the basic issues that surround website and the first question that came to my mind is "what is a website?".

I know I could get a definition from google and dictionary.com but I will like to tap into the intellectual capability of colleagues in the industry and get there view of what they call a website.

Now believe me, I trust your creative thinking and I know we all can benefit from this exercise.

thank you and hope to read your responses here.

Regards

Webmasters / Re: Plsss Preview My New Updated Site by dayotee2(m): 7:18pm On Nov 09, 2008
Hi switchmax8,

Preamble:

I would have loved to do it to you my mail but haven gone through your site in and out, I couldnt get a contact email address and am not sure if your "info" is active

Now your website review according to MOA:

Your website will pass for an aplus if it was presented in the 90s where you have to write your HTML codes manually but to be presented in the 21st century as a website development firm's official website is higly unacceptable.

First:

you fail to add your company logo to your website, and your header reads:  Switchmax Web Design and Develoment I think the develoment should have a P ,  if u use dreamweaver, its best you run spell checking on your website content.

secondly: Your content placement is very poor, you home page should be your about us while your about us should be the intro text for your about us page with a "read more" button or something.

thirdly:

On your contact us page: this line has got a missing txt: You can contact us "with the form" below for information on our services and Training below.

I would rather have it this way: please use the form below to contact us on our services and training , 

and since you train people on CSS, you should use some of those knowledge on your site before you transfer everything to your students.

Your service page: You may need a content development expert eye on that because the content is clumsy and lousy.

On what is suppose to be your second paragraph, you have:

We listen carefully to your needs and wishes and work with you to produce a site that is unique and individual.


please how do produce a website that is individual?

We will design an original web set for your site, consisting of Background design,Graphics,Animation and Basic logo or banner.


is there a fake web set?

Finally

except you outsource your jobs ooo, which I will gladly welcome if you need hands on your project, you will need to do more than your website presentation to convince me to give you my website project account.

well i will be glad to give you a helping hand and we can walk through your website together ,  just drop me a mail.

my email address is : temi@tebixcreative.com.

Last Note:

There are a lot more things wrong with this site and it beyond the design, your choice of words, content placement and a lot more are just not what you do in the 21st century. I sincerely hope you do not take offense, this is my job to help organization communicate there brand effectively using the internet and it will be my pleasure to help revamp your website.

@Big Star

You will need to do more than this to claim the title you bear (big star), http://www.orisfish.com/ ,  its like only the homepage work, even if you are doing this for free, you should do better because beyond the website owner trying to communicate her brand, you are also communication your brand and you should put in you BEST at all time because you don't know which if your jobs will win you the BIG contracts ,  so stop working for fun, every JOB counts.

Regards.
