HealthRe: The Death Camps Called Government Hospitals In Nigeria! How Ekene Lost His Dad by doncheks: 7:13pm On Jun 14, 2016
I am very saddened by your experience.I cant imagine how long health care services have been this horrible.I hear a lot of people complain about their bad experiences at Government hospitals but never imagined it was this terrible.

Sadly our leaders and politicians are ignorant of these practices since they do not patronize the hospitals.How can a policy be more important than saving a life at a time of critical emergency.

I can now understand why some of my dad's septuagenarian friends are unwilling to relocate to Nigeria despite the fact that they prefer the environment here to their abode overseas.
My heart felt condolences.
I have since lost hope that government can adequately enforce good practices in our health sector.I am however encouraged that you found the strength to narrate your experience and provide pragmatic solutions.
If the government cant live up to expectations, we will explore all other channels.The World Health Organization, the United Nations and the International Community should be alerted on how our life saving institutions have become death traps.

I hope the Ministry of health and all other relevant agencies take this up from here.We need total reorientation and reorganization in all our health institutions.
WebmastersRe: What Is The Cost Of A Website In Nigeria?? by doncheks: 8:30am On Jun 06, 2016
The cost of your web design project depends on a number of factors;

1. Web Hosting : This refers to where your website resides on the worldwide web.Different types of hosting include shared hosting,VPS Hosting and Dedicated Server Hosting.
Shared hosting basic packages start around 4USD/Month.A decent VPS hosting starts around 30 USD/Month while Dedicated Servers can be anywhere around 120USD a month.
However,most projects will be fine with shared hosting.But for websites with thousands of visitors,we often recommend a VPS hosting to enhance user experience.

2. Static or CMS Website
Static websites are some of the simplest to build.They don't require a database and contain minimal scripts such as a contact form and slideshow.There is no advanced functionality.Content Management Systems (CMS) on the other hand give you an array of extra functionality and will cost more to develop.
Typically, the CMS in use also determines the price of the project.Popular CMS's include Wordpress, Joomla, Expression Engine, Drupal.Ecommerce platforms include Opencart, Prestashop, Magento.
For the CMS category,Drupal developers are few and charge higher while for ecommerce,expect to spend more if you are settling for magento.
Some of these CMS's are not free and come with a licenses which also affects the cost.These days,people rarely build static websites since they are limited in functionality.

3.Type of Website
As already mentioned by overtlyderanged,there are varying types of websites and they are priced differently.It could be a blog, a company website,membership website,job portal,ecommerce(b2b, b2C),document management system,learning management systems,social network etc

4.Experience
Your website cost also depends on the experience of the web developer.If he has got several awesome jobs in his portfolio,then expect the price to be higher.If he is just starting out,then he/She could charge a token.

5.Extras
These days.it's not enough to just build a website.A lot of other factors come to play like SEO,User experience, Social Interaction and other advanced functionality(like SSL).
Some of these services like SEO are considered their own fields and treated independently.
In fact, the success of your website depends on how much thought is given to these areas.Sadly, most web developers are in a hurry to handover projects without any consideration for these extras.Most times,this is due to their ignorance or lack of understanding of the subject.
New web design projects should adopt a holistic approach considering the importance of this extras.

6. Content
Nothing delays a website project more than content.Most people want to have a website but fail to understand that the content is what makes a website.If you are going to rely on your web developer to create all your website content, bear in mind that you will have to pay extra.

7.How much can you afford
Web design pricing is not cast on stone.Indeed Not all hands are equal.The unemployed aspiring blogger may not be as financially buoyant as the rich company executive.At the end of the day, it all boils down to the question, how much can you afford?At this point, anything is possible,you could get the same service as the money bags depending on circumstance.

Ideally, a decent business website should start around 80k.Self hosted blogs could be anywhere from 60k,Ecommerce websites from 150k.Please bear in mind that these prices are just basic.Once you start requesting additional advanced functionality, the price could skyrocket.

I once rejected a business website offer at 750k because the Job was going to keep me busy for almost 4 months full time, due to the advanced nature of the Job.The client wanted a business website,a membership site,a recruitment portal and a document management system all in a single website.
I could do it but the price was very poor for the outcome.

Finally stay away from unbelievable offers.I mean the 15k Ecommerce website developers.Most of these so called web developers are amateurs who don't know what they are doing.The user experience is poor and they could use the same design for hundreds of websites.In fact ,a lot of jobs we receive are usually redesigns from clients who have had a bad experience patronizing cheap unbelievable offers.

He doesn't need to molest to be a pervert.


Many people here have recounted their experiences. Did you miss any of those?

He is not fit to be a teacher.
If you have a personal experience,kindly come forward and stop hiding behind social media.
This story is trending and yet not one parent has approached the school on the issue.
The Principally and her predecessors have given the man a clean bill of health.He was even voted the best teacher in the school with numerous awards to his name.

From your statement, I can deduce that he doesn't have to molest a student to be a pervert,he only has to teach biology, which we understand is a very sensitive subject.

SweetJustice:
could it be staged huh because from what I see the hand writing on the all the placards looks the same. Just thinking aloud tho
Well, if you look closely, you will see that some of the placards have a distinct writing.As if it matters.But If you ve ever been involved in any organized protest, you would have known that placards are centrally coordinated.

In order words,protester usually do not convene with markers and cardboard.

AutosRe: Apply And Get Your Original Drivers License/Vehicle Registration (NO STRESS)! by doncheks: 5:32pm On Mar 11, 2016
I got pattybf's contact from a fellow nairalander, without coming across this thread. After talking with her on the phone,I was convinced she was genuine.She even offered to start processing the license without any upfront payment.

Since,i was convinced she was real,I paid her in full before she commenced the process.
All the paper work was efficiently done by her and I chose a favorable date for capture.

On the day of capture,there were a few glitches.By the time it got to my turn, FRSC printers had run out ink so I was rescheduled.
She apologized profusely, even though it wasn't her fault and over the next few days provided regular updates on the situation at hand.
I had my capture a few days later and picked up the temporary drivers license same day.

I had other options but decided to go with Pat's offer because she maintained excellent communication and feedback.I'm glad I did.



Thanks Pat, for making the process hassle free.
