Amazingly fun times up for Abuja Gamers as Ground Zero Gaming recently announced a bumper double package..

They would be holding the 7th edition of the extremely popular Ground Zero gaming (GZG) Ultimate Gamer Tournament but this time it comes with a twist that will definitely “sweet your belle” ; it’s 2 events for the price of one ,One holding on the 13th and the other on the 27th of April, GZG 007 promises to be lots of fun.. I know it will be too cause I was at the last one and it was really well put together despite a few initial niggles.




This time Ground Zero Gaming is taking the event to a new location, GZG 007 is holding in collaboration with African University of Science and Technology and so it will be holding on the campus and they have already released pictures of the new location, seems pretty cozy to me.



As always it’s PC and Console gaming, Networking and FileSharing, So grab your Laptops, headphones,PS3′s,Xbox 360′s,Wii and head over.And if you still had any doubts about attending… get this…ADMISSION IS FREE.

Update:
Sites are back online again....

All thats left now is to pray "Let my sites just be up for a few hours ..lemme do my backups..."

And they are all down again....

That's all.Utterly Simple

Accepted... now we can all go back to work

You know what i just noticed sef?
Look back at the pictures he posted,
When i mentioned it on Facebook on the 1st...
Their person said "There's absolutely nothing wrong at our end"
instead blaming it on my internet connection, meanwhile your servers were down...
But NOOOOO!!! thats impossible ? it HAS to be the client's fault doesn't it?

You see how you shoot yourself in the foot

So i just refreshed the page and site is up...
Thanks people.. Am currently backing u my data to my PC..
One site at a time

niyyie:
Ladies and Gents,

My name is Oluniyi, I manage Web4Africa.
I thought it might be wise to response to the post here.

Facebook is only a tool and businesses are open to using it the way they deem fit. While we welcome general feedback on Facebook, we prefer to handle specific technical problems through our support channels: email and live web chat. We specifically encourage all web hosting clients to email support [at] web4africa [dot] net regarding all web hosting issues. This is because the department is manned 24 hours every day by technically competent people who would respond and act in the most efficient manner. Our Support Team are not reachable by Facebook. We prefer to restrict support issues to our ticket system for proper tracking and future reference. Whilst we welcome all shades of genuine feedback, we are at liberty to delete insulting, distasteful or malicious comments on our Facebook page.

When Idamiebi posted on our Facebook wall, I encouraged him to email support [at] web4africa [dot] net specifically where we attend to technical issues with the highest priority. Instead, he emailed Sales. I only realized that 4th April morning, re-assigned it to Technical Support and gave a response myself.

Our own website[s] were not down at any point, as he is alleging. This can be verified from the Pingdom screenshot. Websites sometimes might not be accessible, specifically due to connectivity issues from one's ISP. I've experienced same countless times whenever I am in Nigeria.

It is interesting that he opened this thread after we already emailed him 3 times updating him about the progress of the fix. This was confirmed by an earlier poster:



He creates the impression that we treat customers shabbily and don't take criticism well. Nothing could be further from the truth. Whilst it is perfectly understandable to be angry and to court public sympathy, exaggerating or spinning facts for the purposes of maximizing bad feelings towards others' businesses is something to think twice about as what goes around always comes around.

Bikko Mr. Niyi, i won't even bother to bandy words with you, your post just validated everything i said. And people i dont know from Adam have responded about how you seem to be more focused on holding your name together than making apologies.. So i wont bother to go there..
And yes that guy is right, going around saying to a client "what goes around comes around" as a company rep.. looks totally terrible..
Helpful Tip: If you ever have a Case Like this again , Dont Do that!!!
Were my sites offline? YES..
Was I contacted ? NO? ...NOT till the 4TH of April...4 days later....
And you're proudly saying i sent an email to another department and that's your defense ? seriouslyI really doubt i sent an email to Sales but due to your weird ticketing system, i cant even prove otherwise because no email address is provided on your site, I had to email with that blasted contact form..Even if i did, that's has never been my issue...(and if that happened, sales cannot forward emails to the proper department for 4 days? Habba Manna!!) From the beginning, i said i was pissed cause i was not informed ON THE DAY, the problem started.
Don't get it twisted. You emailed 3 times on the 4TH, four days after... After the Facebook Comment deleting saga (which sadly we don't have access to anymore, am sure the good people here would have been able to judge if it was in anyway "insulting, distasteful or malicious" rather than a complaint)
I have never had problems with accessing your web4africa.net site, how come it's the week all my sites are down that am suddenly hearing this "ISP-issues-in_Nigeria_may_not_give_one_access' story....(Besides, you run a business where a large number of sites are from a country and the site isn't accessible there?.. that just sounds wrong to me)..
You clearly are unable to handle the bad times in business.. Things were good and i was referring customers and friends to you.. If things are bad, i will do just the opposite.. that's what this is...
Infact all this story is too long...
I wont go around posting pictures as you did like some over-excited lawyer in a court tendering exhibits...
My sites are still inaccessible on PC...
I say PC because i tried it on a BlackBerry and they were opening though slower than normal
An using both my Glo and MTN modems.. (as will most of the people who will try to access it so let it not be the "ISP-issues-in_Nigeria_may_not_give_one_access" thingy again please.. my clients are in Nigeria )

While i appreciate your overnight work to get the sites back up,I just want my sites fully restored .Thank You

exactly@Their gold package is 2 times that of Hostgator
Na support we dey support our own ooo..
It seems the solution is to go back to giving Oyinbo people our money

And all the sites are down again... i tire ooo...
a word is enough for the wise, my best option is to wait for them to come back... jejely backup my sites and pay elsewhere..
better make the money paid so far waste...
Like GeraldCole said "Having your site off is like running a business thats out of stock"

Seun, i agree.. They are doing good.. if they weren't, admittedly, i wouldn't keep hosting websites with them...
But i cant say this enough, you have server downtime, you should either issue some kind of public statement or at least contact your clients immediately...
the downtime isn't my major grouse...heck , while not totally related...we remember how even RIM had global issues with their BB servers last year.. they survived... But the day it began, they quickly issued some public statement...
Thats all i ask...
Am a Video Production professional.. If i cant deliver my job on an agreed date for any reason.. I call my client, make my excuses , apologize and get back to work..
they may complain.. but will at least be happy at being informed..
Rather than perhaps i simply not show up at all and switch off my phone for days (basically the equivalent)

Seun...one out of my 9 sites is up... Others arent...Guess they are transferring files to a new server or something

i have no problem with their server being down..It's probably a rare occurrence (though the 2nd major one in 5 months since i started hosting with them)
thay are a webhosting company for crying out loud.. it your servers are down.. isn't the smart thing to do to bulk email your clients telling them of the issue?
Rather than wait for them to complain...
Like i said, my major grievance is the shoddy customer relations..
it's pretty simple...
An email sent out on day 1 of the problems might reduce half of the complaints

So since the 1st of April, all sites i have been hosting on web4africa have been down 90% of the time,

They are all Totally off now, i sent an email to their customer support, nobody replied..

With several clients on my neck and after loosing all patience ,today(thursday) i went to their Facebook page to complain again.

Instead of them to address the issue, the deleted my comment and rudely wrote

Please restrict your feedback to our support system. Email or chat.

In other words.. If we are screwing-up, you have no right to say anything...

Meanwhile at least 3 of my clients run online-only business.. almost a whole working week is gone meaning a quarter of their income for this month is already lost...

It wasn't till after the Facebook Comment that i got an email..4 days after ...with 10 websites offline...that said..

Hello,

Apologies.
We have identified and are busy fixing the problem.
Warm regards,

Oluniyi,
Web4Africa Support

Every business has challenges but if your server is down, shouldn't you immediately contact your clients and apologize??

These people think they are doing us a favor ooo.

Abeg moderator, carry this thread to front page if you can, these people tend to slack if they aren't getting bad press besides people need to be aware. Maybe it will teach them proper customer support

I just thought i should support our own and look where it got me? As annoying as it is, my major problem isn't the downtime(everyone has them, though typically not to this extent)..it's the intensely horrible customer service..

And i left my godaddy account for this ooo..At least they had reliable and sensible customer care

For those that like facts,...
At the moment even their own site is offline

He’s cute, fun, smart and you can’t stop thinking about him. Infact, you’re already three steps ahead of the game and mentally planning weddings, children and that giant house with the white picket fence when he hasn’t even indicated anything. You reason that finally, after all these years, the perfect relationship has finally been found. Happily ever after sure feels good, huh?
Not so fast. While many men may seem ideal after just a few weeks of dating, upon closer inspection, there can be warning signs that you should avoid a relationship with this person. It is important to recognise these warning signs before it’s too late. You really don’t want to wake up ten years down the road divorced with kids, in debt, and depressed.
OK, maybe I’m exaggerating. But the truth is, as much as we often ignore the warning signs in a potentially bad relationship early on in the dating process, these issues don’t go away. Most behaviours only grow worse over time. So, instead of jumping into that long-term relationship with a man you suspect may be wrong for you, let’s take a look at fifteen types of guys you should avoid getting into long-term relationships with in the first place.

1. The set-in-his-ways guy.
This is the guy who refuses to try anything new. A man like that will only become more rigid over time. Dating someone who refuses to be spontaneous or adventurous once in a while makes for a long-term relationship that is both boring and one-sided. Assuming that he will eventually change and open up to your hobbies is misguided. This will likely never happen.

2. The pick-up-after-me guy.
You are his partner, not his maid. Men who expect you to clean up their dishes, pick up after them, do their laundry and generally take care of them as if they are little children on a consistent basis need a reality check. They have bestowed the role of mother on you and while it might be sweet and endearing in the short-term, mothering a man and his children for the rest of your life will get frustrating.

3. The always-looking-for-a-deal guy.
Be wary of men who constantly look for “deals” and comment on prices early on in the dating process. While everyone likes a good deal, a man who really likes you will not be looking to get you cheap stuff or take you to unsavoury places just because the prices on drinks and food is “better” there. I’m not saying you should demand he wine and dine you in five star restaurants but if you know he can afford it, then you deserve it. If he says No, walk away.

4. The I-need-to-watch-sports-all-the-time guy.
There’s nothing wrong with sitting on the couch and watching sports. Many guys do. But this should never trump the responsibilities of a relationship or take precedence over family obligations. There is a difference between loving sports and having a childish obsession with them. Choose a man who knows the difference.

5. The what’s-for-dinner guy.
Expecting a home cooked meal every single night makes for a relationship that will likely feel unbalanced in the long run. Again, you are not his maid. This is the 21st century ladies. Women work just as hard as men and expecting a woman to always have a home-cooked meal on the table every night after a long day at her own job is selfish. There should be contributions from both parties. Help with the meal preparation or the dishes or the kids. Even if that contribution isn’t always evenly divided, it’s the effort that counts.

6. The I-get-increasingly-less-romantic-with-each-date guy.
Some men break out all the stops early on in the dating process, but by the fifth of sixth date, the laziness starts to creep in. While no man should always be expected to plan five-star dates, at the same time, the romance shouldn’t just completely fall off a cliff at once. These changes in effort can be very foretelling of how he will be a year or two down the road.

7. The I-had-sex-and-now-I-don’t-have-to-try-anymore guy.
Always play close attention to how a guy’s behaviour changes once he has had sex with you for the first time. If he truly cares about you, his attention and affection will grow stronger. Those who back down and start getting lazy after having sex with you were probably only after one thing to begin with. And that’s why you should pay close attention and be sure he’s the one before getting that intimate.

8. The I-will-let-you-pay-for-some-of-my-bills guy.
Anyone, regardless of gender, who asks for help paying bills early on in a relationship, should raise red flags. Don’t let yourself be used. By paying anything for him early on, you are setting the tone for your entire future. If a man invites you out on a date, it’s his responsibility to pay the bill. Let him do it.

9. The lack-of-ambition guy.
Be very wary of men who talk up a big game. Always telling you of what they plan to do with their lives. Some men with no ambition whatsoever like to talk and build a lot of castles in the air. At the end of the day, they are just saying what they know women want to hear. There is nothing wrong with a guy who wants to grow into a better person, just make sure that he’s genuine. If you want to know a guy who truly has ambition and the zeal to go places, that will be another article. Stay tuned

10. The I’m-in-my-late-twenties-or-older-and-still-live-with-my-mother guy.
In my book, living at home up until age 25 is acceptable, provided the guy was going through schooling or saving up money. But anyone who has been working for a few years, is approaching 30 and still lives with his mother is never going to grow up. Period.

One evening, my elder sis, her room-mate and I went out to an eatery to hang out. (I’d gone to visit her in school) We ordered all the cheap stuff they had; beef in blanket, egg in pasta, yam in fleece, porero tomaro, shickin toh badt, moimoi…….. it was disgraceful! We were so overfed that we sat down and saw a nollywood movie from part 2 to part 4!! (the movie was 4 parts too many, really).
It was late when we stood up to go home, like 11pm or thereabout. There were no cabs to board so we entered a bus. There were only two seats left near the door so my sis had to lap me. Seated that way, my head was directly behind the head rest of the front passenger’s seat. I didn’t mind though; why would I burn all my just-acquired calories waiting for a cab? I just wanted my bed.
But let us back up a little bit. The day before, my sister’s roomie had a visitor. A toaster of hers (some banker guy she had just met). He wanted to take her out. At the mention of the word “outing”, I’d jumped up and followed them (not minding that it was supposed to be a date with only two people involved. flighty me). Anyway, the guy had this Volkswagen golf car that was kinda battered, and he took us on a very bumpy drive. In all, we didn’t even get to sip Caprisonne juice. The ‘outing’ ended on a boring note (for me, anyway) because all they did was gist and giggle. I didn’t like the guy one bit!
So it happened that we were in the bus that night of the food-fest and terrible 4-part naija movie, and my sister’s roomie (who, by the way, is married now and heavily pregnant) was being flashed repeatedly by the battered car dude from the night before!
The following conversation ensued:
Roomie: why is this guy flashing me? Did he see me somewhere?
My Sis: why is he flashing sef? Can’t he call? Broke asss!
Me: I wonder o. Very broke thing. With his oily pimpled face and battered jalopy. Couldn’t even buy us suya and caprisonne (my best drink then)
Roomie: He’s still flashing. I think he saw us
My sis: where did you even say he works sef?
Roomie: first bank
My sis: Ewwwwww!! That dirty old generation bank for old people! No wonder his jalopy is that bad! Nyamakata!
Me: *MTSCHEWWWWWWWW*
My sis: He couldn’t even afford to wash his car. See all the mud stains that were on it. Why do you want to even consider dating someone that dirty and broke anyway?
Me: I reject it for you! That one? You’ll end up using ruler to measure yam to cook. Better don’t agree.
All this while the bus was silent, and it was just us gisting away till we finally got to where we wanted to alight. My sister gave the driver our fare, but he told someone had paid!! Ooook, weird but nice. So, who was it? The someone was sitting in the front passenger seat right in front of my very big mouth. He stepped out as we alighted and as I turned to say thanks, there he was. Not my father o. Nor my long awaited prince charming. None other than the jalopy dude we had just thoroughly insulted!!!

what if the ex is actually "THE ONE" ?

Win Your Ex Back in 3 Simple Steps
Break ups are not easy to deal with. And while some heartaches go away without much ado, others just won’t. And during the course of most breakups, there’s always that phase when you just feel like the all the unnecessary drama is one huge mistake.
If you come to the conclusion that you just sent away the best thing that ever happened to you, here is some good news. Follow these 3 simple steps and you just might mend that broken relationship and win back your ex in no time.

#1. Evaluate the extent of damage.
If you want to win back your ex, one of the first things you need to do is to find out what went wrong; how, when and why. Several things could lead to a break up, some of which could be dealt with (maybe you clubbed too much) others may be a tad too difficult to fix (maybe you “accidentally” slept with his best friend, his brother and his father! You must be a busy busy girl)
Also, when you are trying to find out what went wrong, it helps to keep in mind that he may not have told you the actual reasons why he doesn’t want to make kissy faces with you anymore. So try to do your evaluation from a neutral person’s point of view. This will give you an unbiased insight into where things went wrong. Or you could enlist the help of that good friend of his who always thought you two were the best couple in town. Whichever works

#2. Maintain some distance
Everybody needs space once in a while. Although this will be very difficult to do, but if you really want your ex back, some space works wonders. The truth is being clingy sends most people running for the hills. So maintain some distance and give him time to allow any hurt feelings to simmer down first. You could use this time you glam yourself up. Get a makeover, change your wardrobe, join a gym and shed some weight. GET HOTTER. You want to be irresistible when you are trying to win him back, don’t you. Well, chances are he is probably tired of boring old you so maybe you should change up a few things. Don’t forget you take steps to change those things that pushed him away in the first place either. Shey you’ve learnt your lesson? Another reason why giving him some space is good, he just might begin to reflect on all the positive things he misses about you and all the fun times you had together. So please free the guy.

.....Go and see the last step at the link ooo

It’s Not You, It’s Me … Getting Over a Broken Heart

Ok. so that dreamy dude…..you know the one…he of the magic smile and magic fingers, the Romeo to your Juliet, the Tarzan to your Jane, the sugar in your tea, and the love of your life….turned out to be the love of say, a few months or years of your life. maybe he just disappeared into thin air (in which case he probably has a wife and ten kids somewhere, like say, Cameroon) maybe cheated on you, or outright broke up with you via text, email(horrible) or in person. Maybe he said his pastor saw a vision about you in which you changed into mammywater or willywilly and drank his blood. Or he wants to join the priesthood and live a life of celibacy and poverty (yea right). Or he tells you….and this is my personal favorite…..’It’s not you, it’s me…you’re just too good for me.
So you are left holding the shards of a relationship that is definitely over, gone, like the Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries marriage. But you don’t want it to be over. You want to place your hand in his and run into the woods like they do in Indian movies;(maybe even sing a song or 2) but instead you have sunk into this depressed spiral where even Tinsel and Comedy central cannot cheer you up, and your neighbors who usually hate your guts are wondering if you have been raptured!


Worry not my friend, for I present to you the most surefire, money-back guaranteed way to get over that dude. Seriously, the only thing more effective than this is actually super gluing your heart, or plucking out your heart, or killing yourself. None of which is medically advisable.
So:
#1…..CRY ME A RIVER
Yep. Cry. And then cry some more. Wail and scream your heart out. Believe me, nothing cleanses like a good cry. Remind yourself of everything that was good about your relationship and mourn it. Did he make that special fish pepper-soup you always loved? Was he the only one who knew how to put on your stubborn push and start generator? Did he have an amazing apartment? Or was the sex simply out of this world? Mourn your loss like you would a dead pet. And then, when you are good and dry, the second step…..

#2……PUT A SOCK IN IT
Time the waterworks! tell yourself I’m going to cry for two days. Or a week. Or 2 weeks. Depending on how much fluids you can afford to lose and how much tissue you have in the house. Then zip it! Seriously, you can do it. After the crying period has passed, tell yourself I’m done. No more tears over this sucker’ and you should bloody well mean it. And while you are at it…..
