Hi guys,

If a buyer gives you a negative rating/review and you cancel the order, does the review get removed even if the buyer does not accept cancellation?

PHOTOSHOOT'S QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

1. What would be your reaction to a girl whom you really care for, but found out she has been playing you for a fool

Answer: I would be unhappy, obviously. And that would be for the following reasons;
Because, I cared for her in the best possible way. I would be hurt, and I would also let her know I feel hurt. But then, I would move on, focus more on myself. Being more successful, as they say, success is the best revenge.

2. What makes you a real man?

Answer: A real man can’t be determined based on his strength, size and looks. So what makes me a real man is defining my responsibilities, understanding my relatives, my woman, and my family. Being there for the people in my family, my surroundings, my environment, not just financially but emotionally, and physically. Surroundings is used here, because there's life outside my family also.


3. Can you share the defining moments of your life with us?

Answer: Hmm, happened about 3-4 years ago.
While seeking admission to the university, I wrote entrance examinations to various schools, got admitted to 2 out of it, Bowen University and UNIOSUN but I have always wanted university of Lagos, couldn't have imagined myself studying accountancy in a school not UNILAG. My dad saw my change in reaction and emotions when I saw that I passed those exams, he expected a joyful and excited me but that wasn't happening. He called me one night, and told me what he was about to tell me was going to change a lot in my life. That, would I rather pick Bowen University or I would wait a year to re-sit for jamb and re-enroll for university of Lagos. A very tough decision it was back then, but here I am, studying accountancy in UNILAG. In the real sense, it has sharpened my view about life, that is, sometimes we just have to take risk. Taking risk defines a man. I guess that defined mine.


4. A tribal scourge has been sweeping Nairaland lately, given your capacity what can you do to remedy the situation.

Answer: According to Onyeka Onwenu, the iconic musical legend, she emphasised in one of her songs that "in our diversity lies our unity" I believe it can't be totally curbed on Nairaland if it isnt handled properly in the outside world.
In as much as the tribal war, brings about liveliness on Nairaland, it is still to be curbed truly. Some may suggest stricter punishment for offenders, but in the real sense the only grave punishment is banning a moniker/username, but looking at it, it takes less than 10 minutes to create a new moniker, so I do not see this as a means of curbing it. In my opinion, I would encourage more sections of educative arguments and minimise sections of tribal sentiments.


5. How do you feel about being with a woman who makes more money than you do?

Answer: This is 2016, women in some cases than few makes money than men. So long I provide for the basic home amenities, I think I would be fine and in fact I would also support her because I love ladies who are independent financially. And also try harder to push beyond that point I am.


6. What would be the first thing you will do if you win tonight?

Answer: Wow, after thanking my Creator? I would write an appreciation message and I will profusely show my appreciation to all my campaign team for the efforts as I have always done and to everyone who has been there for me since the beginning, those who joined and to cap it i would send a heartwarming message to the other contestants.

7. What will you do with the prize money?

Answer: After fulfilling my duties as a religious fellow- a Christian (paying of tithe). In the cause of this contest I met a fellow student of the University of Lagos, department of mass communication, final year, who co-runs a charity feeding program [celebrating the future, Africa]. I have pledged that if I win the grand prize of #50,000, I would donate 8% to the program. Then my team will have their own share too, in the proper sharing ratio. And the remaining I will add to the savings I have already towards buying my dream DSLR camera. I would use that to work for a while before getting a studio of my own.


Thanking Nairaland and Nairalanders for this.

PHOTOSHOOT

This 22-year old lover of photography is a student at the University of Lagos (UNILAG) in his penultimate year. He is an indigene of the state of Osun.

His Favorite food would be anything swallow, but preferably pounded yam with Oha or afang, egusi soup. The Hobbies he takes interest in are photography, reading anything he lays his hands on, and surfing the net, having his quiet time.

His role models are His Dad and Bayo omoboriowo (Chief photographer of President Buhari.)

He would best be described as an introverted person, who is smart, caring, cheerful, polite jovial, responsible, neat, and also stands for justice.

“On what makes me different,well, technically i would say am not so different, we are all same, but I would say my personality as a loving and friendly person. And my attitude toward s life which is “living it in simple manner”

His best quotes are,

1. "Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts." -- Winston S. Churchill
2. "It is better to fail in originality than to succeed in imitation."

Who do you think you deserve to be crowned Mr. Nairaland?

“I deserve to be crowned Mr nairaland because: Everyone eligible to vote deserves this crown, that said I think I personally deserves it because I have the ability to relate with lots of people (different age, class, section members) of this wonderful forum. And to continue u have been doing for a while which is publicizing the forum far and wide to others who haven’t heard of it. Oh.. and I know I have got the looks".

FYNESTBOI'S QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

What would be your reaction to a girl whom you really care for, but just found out she has been playing you for a fool

Oh my! One of the things I abhor is one playing on the intelligence of another person. It would certainly be painful and regretful. She just cost me an emotional loss in my emotional investment. I will be disappointed and gladly move on. Her deceit means we perhaps were never meant to be.

What makes you a real man?

Real man can be relatively defined from various perspectives. There is no definition that best explains the term. However, I see a real man to be a fighter who is always there for his family, friends and the nobodies.
I stands tall against all odds, perseveres when the going gets tough, restrategizes when hope seems to be lost and stays steadfast on his words.

Can you share the defining moments of your life with us?

I have grown up to cherish every moment of my life, as I believe all the moments are microcosms in the macrocosm of how I turned out to in the past, present and future. So, it is safe to say that every moment of my life has been defining and will continue to be.

However I wouldn't jettison the fact that out of all these moments some are meant to stand out. Even if some moments actually contributed to that particular moment standing out, hence such moment is when I gained admission and lots of issues arose to test my joy.

I gained admission to study what I never wanted. But, it had been 4years then that I had been rejecting admission on the basis of "not what I wanted". That particular year, I decided to accept the admission was the year my family was faced with an issue hinged around financial crisis which automatically made it impossible for me to afford the fee (OAU just increased the fees). And it was the case that one couldn't push except I wanted my Sisters in final year and third year respectively to drop just for me to start mine. But to my greatest surprise, help from where I least expected sprang forth and I was able to pay and start up my undergraduate life despite the predicament at that moment. This moment alone has been a causal agent to so many other defining moments....

A tribal scourge has been sweeping Nairaland lately, given your capacity, what can you do to remedy the situation.

Nairaland is a forum filled with people from different ethnic and tribal backgrounds. You find some with funny online personality, some are cool while some are indifferent. It is just an image of ethnic diversity in Nigeria. With issues bothering on ethnicity as a discourse, attitudes of the people to those issues are as diverse as the ethnic groups in Nigeria. Ethnic-nationalism has taken over nationalism itself. In Nigeria, we believe our strength lies in our diversity but the sad reality paints otherwise. Every individual in this cyberspace has that tendency of shielding their ethnic group using any means possible.
I believe the moment we started to notice a problem, its solution(s) gets birthed. Hence, tribal scourge is a social menace that needs to be exterminated if possible. Sadly, we can only work on getting it reduced to the lowest level of patronage possible.
Fighting tribal scourge is a collective responsibility to be spearheaded by the Admin of this platform. As Mr Nairaland (if voted in), I would suggest that the Admin should increase the base of moderators in concerned sections to moderate the activities of nairalanders. Clearly, there are rules guiding our conducts on this platform ( Don't abuse, bully, deliberately insult/provoke, fight, or wish harm to Nairaland members OR THEIR TRIBES.). Moderators, who are ready to work and be swift to hide and delete any thread relating to such, before it gets escalated..

Knowingly, having active moderators is not enough as nairalanders need to help achieve the goal by using the report button on any comment/post or thread that reeks ethnocentrism or any related ones to notify the moderators. This can also be done through the use of "pm".
Nairalanders can as well help the cause by deviating from engaging in tribal e-war or any e-wars.
Also, threads related to national unity, integration and cohesion should be promoted to front page regularly in order to spring up social reorientation and re-engineering.
Lastly, a platform in my capacity would be created to seek nairalanders' opinions on how best to tackle the social menace as we are all in this together. It's important to seek people's opinions on such issues..

How would you feel about being with a woman who makes more money than you do

That's somewhat of a lopsided marriage lol.... Frankly, it's a blessing I believe. When married, myself and the woman have become one. So, what belongs to her automatically belongs to me. There is no fuss about it. Marriage has a dictate best captured in the Latin quote which reads:"non mihi, non tibi sed nobis," meaning, "not for you, not for me but for us".
Nevertheless, I will try as much as possible to work harder so as to be man enough to pay the bills and not delegate much financial responsibilities to her.

What will be the first thing you'll do if you win tonight?

Appreciate God and all that contributed to the success

What will you do with the prize money?

A hefty chunk of the grand prize if won goes to the education section [Nairaland Interschool Debate third place winner (Lagos State University) were unable to get anything after the debate last time]. Hence, I will use part of the money as a recompense for their wonderful performance) and my team would certainly have a reasonable piece of the prize although most of them would decline the offer as we all believe in altruism......

FYNESTBOI


Fynestboi is a 300 level student of the Obzfemi Awolowo University Ile=Ife. He hails from Ogun State and he enjoys any meal with plantain.

He enjoys researching on topical issues', Reading, Listening to music. He doesn’t look up to anyone in particular as he believes just one person cannot possess all desirable traits but religiously, he follows the steps of Jesus and Prophet Muhammad (SAW).

How will a close relative (friend or family) describe you?

“In order to strike a balance I consulted two friends a male and a female.

Friend(Male): Fynestboi is a brother.... I have never seen him as a friend. Why? He is free with everyone, straight to the core and Selfless in helping everyone.

Friend female: Friend female: Fynestboi is a friend that will always leave you amazed, he is charismatic, always ready to serve at any cost, a selfless individual, anything he does, anywhere he is he will always set standard, people will just know that someone different is around and he gives a lot chai his heart is just too big... Fynestboi is just extraordinary.

Family: Lol called my mum to ask her, and she was like: Ade what are you up to again, and I was like, ma I just needed to know, and here was her response.

Mum: Ade is a boy that is loveable by all, you will just love him no matter how harsh you are and that is due to his amiable nature, he is very kind, he is slow to anger, he takes people's problems to be his own, he is quiet but a very bright child.”

“What I might actually think makes me different might be similar to someone somewhere that I don't know, however I will say I am different because I am me.”


His favorite quote is, “Wanting to be like a successful person might make you a failure, pursue success in a dimension that would make people see you as a role model, not in a way that would make them compare your success with someone else's.”

“Why do you think you deserve to be crowned Mr. Nairaland?

“It's easy to claim to be something but through our actions, the truth and the fact is revealed. And those we relate with are best positioned to assess us. Hence, I asked various nairalanders on why Fynestboi deserves the Crown and I got these:

Nairalander 1: You deserve the crown because you're one with tremendous intel on how to bring the minds of Nairalanders together. This you did when you single handedly hosted and handled the Nairaland Debate Competition, which bring the mind of intelligent young under graduates from different schools to compete, learn and get to know other...

Nairalander 2: Fynestboi is very straightforward, a person who wears his heart on his sleeve and once he sets his heart on something, he doesn't back down until he achieves it. He deserves the crown for his commitment and focus on things that matter the most.

Nairalander 3: Fynestboi gives motivation to those who shy away from exploring the intelligence in them. Fynestboi is always ready to learn things, like business strategies and how to make ends meet. He is a great guy with big dreams which I believe will have positive influence on people around him.”
