As far as I know you need a credit card to run a Google adwords campaign. Is there any company that is able to do this for you from Nigeria ?

I think Xceedia does it. I know they did it for some companies recently though I don't know the details. You can contact them at mail@xceedia.co.uk to find out

I am sure many of these remedies will need to be taken with a pinch of salt
I read somewhere for example ( wikipedia) that pawpaw leaves , seed , fruit can be quite toxic

You really need to live outside Nigeria for a while to appreciate how much Nigerians are disliked. We are perhaps the most distrusted people in any country. So what do you expect. If HC had a choice Nigeria should be nuked . Good riddance .

bluespice:
wait what?
inhale smoke to cure asthma?
GTFOH!

LOL. You hear new things everyday. probably a "kill or cure" remedy.

mishooo:
I can tell you a VERY VERY SURE prevention.

A handful of paw-paw seeds twice daily for two days.
just peel your paw-paw and scoop the seeds (dont let it be too much ) with your hand or a full spoon and chew into paste(this was the hardest part for me), then swallow it. Take it in the morning and the evening for just 2 days. It WILL prevent the malaria for 6-9 months or even more.

I read it about 15yrs ago and it's been working since(though i stopped cos hardly get Malaria these days).

I assure you, it works like magic.

Hey this one is weird ! Ripe pawpaw or green ?

Having been out of the country for several years , I find myself now getting malaria every month. The drugs to treat it leave me completely useless for an entire week. Is there a natural means to prevent getting malaria ? I hear lemon grass tea works but can anyone advice on something reliable ? thanks

I was two months ago diagnosed as hypertensive . Though I thought the diagnosis was hasty and did not take into account that I was at that period under much stress all around - work, relationship etc. I accepted to take the treatment  but for several weeks drugs prescribed were either ineffective or even worsened the condition for me apart from eing very expensive. I was changed to some cheaper drugs together with a sedative called lorazepam . The combination worked well for a couple of weeks until I was asked to cut down on lorazepam. Efffect of this is that I couldn't sleep much again and so up went my BP once more especially at night when I took a little lorazepam to relax myself. What I am beginning to believe is that it is the lorazepam that is working tocontrol my BF and not allthe others. Problem is that I seem to be getting addicted to the lorazepam to the effect that I may not be able to sleep at night without it. My doctors think I am a difficult patient already. Any advice ?

A Google map mashup site will typically permit content , profiles etc to be linked to a specific geographical location and displayed as a marker on a Google map . Such a website can be extremely useful for real estate marketing and also for social networks of moderate size. When clicked each marker will display the content that generated it. A page teaser can also be displayed on hover.This type of site is the basis of love-vendor My Pizza a personal project which I am working on and which will enable users list and rate restaurants all over the UK. Another example is at World Adrenaline (http://www.worldadrenaline.com) for which I developed the back end . In my book Drupal 6 Site Blueprints - http://www.packtpub.com/drupal-6-site-blueprints/book , I show you how to build a basic Googlemap mashup site from the following fictional brief which I created:

[b]When Winston Groovy returned home to his wife Rita in Kingston, Jamaica, after being missing for two days, Rita was not amused. This was the third weekend in a row that Winston had claimed to have been abducted by aliens. But Winston really did seem quite sincere and sober ("

Yeah man! Dem mash me up

", he claimed), and Rita was, as usual, very forgiving and quite happy to have her Winston back home (

A'right me no kick a fuss rass

). However, to save other people from the heartache of having their loved ones permanently lost to extra-terrestrial kidnappers, Rita Groovy has decided to create a web site called Alienspotting to aggregate occurrences of alien sightings all over the world. The web site will consist of:
-A description of encounters with aliens including photos, if available
-A means for the site users to comment on stories and recent comments to be shown on a side bar
-A front page world map, with each documented encounter showing on it as a marker[/b]
https://www.websesame.com/spotting.jpg

The sample map shows two posts describing alien sightings and marked by pegs on a Googlemap. Now Rita Groovy know where to start looking for Winston when he finally goes missing permanently !!.

When developing with Drupal this type of site can be quite easy to build and can be completed in less than a day without even using a developer.The essential contribution modules are the Gmap and Location modules. The CCK module however gives more flexibility in creating of new content types and fields. I am not giving a freebie tutorial on this one however. . Get the book from Amazon.com. http://www.amazon.com/Drupal-Site-Blueprints-Timi-Ogunjobi/dp/1847199046/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1251198391&sr=1-3

A news aggregating website can be used to display live RSS feeds from different sites. Let's take a case where you will like to have a website which will display the most important news from all the good newspapers in Africa . All you will need to do is go to the web sites of these newspapers and get the feed from the sections you want to display on your web site. Using Drupal's aggregator module completing the website is extremely easy and can be done in less than one hour. See how I created a very unique demo project at

Cactus:
I have had my fair share of experience with some people that tried writing books.

If you actually wrote the book, congratulations to you. But these days it is just too easy for anyone to publish books thanks to Ghostwriters.

Did that comment make you feel good ?

Very good ?
Gee thanks !! OK I wrote it and hope you don't my promoting. You remember that our old anecdote about the lizard who jumped from the top of the palm tree , and after surviving that feat proceeded to nod its head. I can't remember what it said, can you help out ?
cheers
