Well I am assuming you're using IE so only one advice I have on that one: Jettision it. Get firefox. Download it without delay; then get the Adblock extension and goodbye to unwanted ads.

Wow! Seun thats great. Congratulation to them and happy Ipodding.

timba how about day trading? anything like that in Nigeria?

I nominate Tai Solarin.

Right now Ronaldhino is simply THE BEST player in the world. He'll win it.

Banned? why?

Thanks cushman. MTN can't offer simple service like automatic SMS delivery report to Nigerians but they want to sell them recharge cards from U.K? Customers should demand better service from a company making 653 million naira per day from their patronage.

Good luck on your exams tassma. I don't have a dump of my own but lifted this off the Net so here:

Q. Which two statements about the transport layer are true?

A . port are used to pass information to the lower layers

B . protocol include file transfer,email,and remote login

C . port number above 1023 are dynamically assigned by the network information center (NIC)

D . port number are used to keep track of different conversations crossing the network at the same time.

E . protocols include a connection-oriented,reliable protocol and a connectionless,unacknowledged protocol

Otherwise u don't receive delivery report?

I agree with Bibi. The discussion is dead end now.

My bad. I didn't pay attention to that RAW in your original post. Well it means you have to partition the Ipod's disk first.

Just go to Administrative Tools [by right clicking My Computer]---> Disk Management
(or Click Start > Run and type diskmgmt.msc) and partition the disk; then format.

Since you know how to use DOS command prompt, then type

format [drive-letter]: /fs:fat32 /q

[drive-letter] = D or E or whatever your Ipod's drive letter is without the bracket of course
q= quick format

the underlined text in the post is the link. click on it.

otokx and others still in doubt can read this New York Time article

Excerpt:
[b]
Here in Mr. Alamieyeseigha's state of Bayelsa, that means serious money. Under a Nigerian law enacted to help develop the oil-rich but long-neglected Niger Delta, 13 percent of the revenue generated in any state is returned there for development. Bayelsa produces 30 percent of the country's oil, and with recent sky-high oil prices, the state budget this year ballooned to $560 million, compared with nearly $300 million in 2003.

But the money has not brought widespread development. It has mostly paid for white elephants like mansions for the governor and his deputy. The 2005 budget sets aside $8.5 million to construct those two houses, along with more than $2 million for furnishings.

And that is just this year. Since 2002 the state has spent more than $25 million on the governor's mansion, according to budgets on file in Yenagoa's tiny public library. The fence enclosing the two houses alone cost $5.7 million.

A glossy, mostly wordless booklet issued by Mr. Alamieyeseigha's press office, "A Legacy of Selfless Service," includes artist's renderings of the houses, depicting fantasias of waterfalls, fountains and artificial lakes. At the construction site where the governor's house is nearing completion, workers raced to lay thousands of square feet of imported granite tiles and mahogany ceiling panels.

Meanwhile, the Poverty Eradication Committee, whose purpose is not explained, has a budget of about $23,000, according to the 2005 spending plan, which is posted on the state's Web site, www.bayelsagov.com. That is a little more than half of what is budgeted for toiletries for state officials.[/b]

Otokx I think you've been joking all along.

I think you'll need to format it as FAT32 and only on windowsXP.

I say we gather around and establish a start-up.

It was designed by a company called ETSI

The site is impressive. I like the opening background. the ethnic touch. I wonder if they digitally painted it or simply scanned it in from hand painted source.

@otokx It was only Balogun's family and the Ila of Oragun (Balogun's hometown) who carried themselves to Abuja and they too quickly deserted him once they realised the charges against him were legit. Not the Yorubas.

That because everyone is corrupt should justify inaction to corruption until all can be brought to justice is counter productive. We have to start from somewhere. We should realise that Nigerian politicians don't normally prosecute one another for corruption; that they are doing it now is progress in itself however little. Lets support it and not play on ethnic sentiments.

In Nollywood for one I guess. Or in some game development firm. I don't know of any in Naija though.

This is good. Help takes ones mind off all that Alameieyeseigha yankan yankan.

Odeku of course he is not the only thief but that is secondary. The issue here is he was a thiefing police boss and got his punishment deservely lesser but punishment nonetheless. Because we can't bring ALL Nigerian thieves to justice shouldn't constitute bringing NOBODY to justice. Lets see the positive side of this.

While the concept seem 'novel' at first glance I still cannot avoid seeing ondogi's point. MTN is not providing the service to relief Nigerians of any burden but rather as another easy source of income because any Nigerian abroad can just as easily send money to a relative at home to buy recharge card. So whats the point! Its better if MTN improve on the existing services rather than embarking on needless ones just to scrape more cash out of their customers.

@timmy reporting do nothing but get the email shut down. Big deal the scammer open a new account and continues his trade. Playing along cost u nothing u can even get him arrested if need be. But you def waste his time and even money.

@ijebuman I agree with u on that point as to the western hypocrisy concerning 419. They've totally dumped the stinking scamming business at the Nigeria's door steps whereas most of the more dangerous online scams like phising are carry out mostly by Americans.

Gentlemen let us not overlook the substance here which is that justice was done. Its still a start.

timmy the entrepreneur Well Iam afraid you can't make money with hotspots just like that, sorry, because hotspot are established from existing internet access to create a wireless access points where people with laptops can wirelessly connect to the internet. Its suitable for university campuses, hotels and shopping malls etc Hell u can create a hotspot from your current internet account, so that you can surf the net from your backyard with your laptop.

Its also called wi-fi standing for wireless fidelity.

Wetin happen now

@folababa you could play along with them. Bait them. You will be surprise to know what a scammer will do if he think he'll get money from you.

Bibi I can feel you. Nigerian politicians need nothing less than a hit squad. They wont budge otherwise. They have shown that clearly enough.

That was what I meant in my first reply when I said custom. Those devices cannot be re-coded easily by anyone unless of course you know what you're doing.

Anyway Allta, concerning the kannel gsm gateway I've watched a friend installed it for a radio station here to manage their audience's SMS send ins. I believe you can achieve the same thing with just ordinary (fast) computer workstation with WAP setup to manage SMS if thats what you want. But I'll check further to see what I can come up with.
