I believed so much in WordPress.

Them local TV stations have been stationary.
Can you imagine seeing the same wallpaper they used when I was like 8 is still what they use now to keep you tuned in..
Who even puts up a stagnant picture for you to stare at while they sweep their studio

OP I totally agree with you.
I'm using WordPress but trust me when I say WORDPRESS HAS IT'S OWN LIMITATIONS.

If you must do it, don't loud it.

After they removed our famous 'isi gate'.

It's all good. Welcomed development.

UP NAIRALAND!

Red Barrett is NEVER a cultism symbol. It was the most popular symbol used and populated bu CHE GUEVERA- See a few Biography Che Guevera below. The Minister of Youth and Sport Shares the same IDEOLOGY with myself, Gani Fawahimi, Tia Soalarin, Chukwu Emeka Nzogwu, Gideon Okar- We are of the Soviet Union/ Socialist Block. We accept and adopt 100% Maxist/ Lenin Philosophy of Revolution. See The Cap Red Barrett has a Star in front of it which symbolizes strength. Please compare Both Photos as attached. Note also that Cultism in Nigeria is as late as the 1990s. Before 1990 there were no terrible Cults and violent groups as today. Thanks

Ernesto "Che" Guevara (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈtʃe ɣeˈβaɾa];[4] June 14,[1] 1928 – October 9, 1967), commonly known as el Che or simply Che, was an Argentine Marxist revolutionary, physician, author, guerrilla leader, diplomat, and military theorist. A major figure of the Cuban Revolution, his stylized visage has become a ubiquitous countercultural symbol of rebellion and global insignia in popular culture.[5]

As a young medical student, Guevara traveled throughout South America and was radicalized by the poverty, hunger, and disease he witnessed.[6] His burgeoning desire to help overturn what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his involvement in Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Árbenz, whose eventual CIA-assisted overthrow at the behest of the United Fruit Company solidified Guevara's political ideology.[6] Later, in Mexico City, he met Raúl and Fidel Castro, joined their 26th of July Movement, and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht Granma, with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista.[7] Guevara soon rose to prominence among the insurgents, was promoted to second-in-command, and played a pivotal role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that deposed the Batista regime.[8]

Following the Cuban Revolution, Guevara performed a number of key roles in the new government. These included reviewing the appeals and firing squads for those convicted as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals,[9] instituting agrarian land reform as minister of industries, helping spearhead a successful nationwide literacy campaign, serving as both national bank president and instructional director for Cuba's armed forces, and traversing the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism. Such positions also allowed him to play a central role in training the militia forces who repelled the Bay of Pigs Invasion[10] and bringing the Soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles to Cuba which precipitated the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.[11] Additionally, he was a prolific writer and diarist, composing a seminal manual on guerrilla warfare, along with a best-selling memoir about his youthful continental motorcycle journey. His experiences and studying of Marxism–Leninism led him to posit that the Third World's underdevelopment and dependence was an intrinsic result of imperialism, neocolonialism, and monopoly capitalism, with the only remedy being proletarian internationalism and world revolution.[12][13] Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to foment revolution abroad, first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and later in Bolivia, where he was captured by CIA-assisted Bolivian forces and summarily executed.[14]

Guevara remains both a revered and reviled historical figure, polarized in the collective imagination in a multitude of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs, and films. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic invocations for class struggle, and desire to create the consciousness of a "new man" driven by moral rather than material incentives, he has evolved into a quintessential icon of various leftist-inspired movements. Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century,[15] while an Alberto Korda photograph of him, titled Guerrillero Heroico (shown), was cited by the Maryland Institute College of Art as "the most famous photograph in the world".[16]

US pop star Mariah Carey and Australian billionaire James Packer are engaged to be married.

The couple went public with their relationship last June after they were seen on holiday together in Italy.
Mr Packer, 47, is Australia's fourth-richest person, according to Forbes, with a fortune estimated to exceed A$4.7bn ($3.1bn £2.3bn).

Mariah Carey, 45, released her first album in 1990 and is one of the biggest selling artists of all time.

Mr Packer, who inherited an Australian media empire from his father Kerry Packer, and now operates casinos, split from his second wife model and singer Erica Baxter in 2013.

Ms Carey announced her break-up from "America's Got Talent" host Nick Cannon in 2014.

We nid it more here on NL

It would be used more often than the like button.

We've waited for quite a long time for this, just as much as we also want the middle finger emoticon for BBM and other social media platforms.
But we need not wait much longer as Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg hinted recently that a "dislike" button is in the works. In an online session this is what Mark had to say:

People have asked about the 'dislike' button for many years, and probably hundreds of people have asked about this, and today is a special day because today is the day that I actually get to say we are working on it, and are very close to shipping a test of it,"

He also said...

"The new feature will allow people to "express empathy" with their Facebook friends. If you are sharing something that is sad...then it may not feel comfortable to 'like' that post."

Zuckerberg actually didn't offer a specific time or date for when or how the "dislike" button would be tested on Facebook, but it's surely in the works.

A whole lot of people run most of their transactions via their mobile phones. They buy, sell and even get paid just n their mobile devices.
BBM right from its inception has been a good way to reach out to your customers, whether its to inform them of your new stock, of just to let them know there's a price slash, and if you've been using this means i'm sure you can attest to how much it has helped grow your business.
Because BBM is rich with amazing features like voice and video calls, private messages, ability to block a PIN, etc i really doubt its going to go away anytime soon.
so here's the deal, if you have a PIN with which you run your business and you'd like to let others know, simply post your PIN and the type of business you do.
me first.

Car Sales - 2BFF5D2C
Small time catering services for Bachelors and small get-together - 2BFF5D2C

NairaLanders who are interested can always come here and get your PIN.

please don't forget to update your PIN here if you change your device.

A lot bro..... At least better than BlackBerry OS and Windows Phone OS combined....

[b]Initially when I said iPhone users does a lot of things with their iPhone more than Windows Phone OS and BlackBerry Os combined, people started quoting me and asking me to mention ‘em.

But I was afraid to list them because am scared that if I tell them, they may be tempted to go and sell their fathers land in the village to buy an iPhone just like the Chinese kid last year with his kidney.
And I know my Nigerians very well, we love our lives and we are not willing to tread it with anything so nobody will be willing to sell his/her kidney like the Chinese kid but our fathers land in the village will not be spared.
…… That’s a joke please, don’t take it too personal…..

1. iPhone has a built in Dictionary that automatically integrate into every App you install on your iPhone, making it easy for you to find meaning of words right on the App you’re using (just by taping and holding the word and click on “Define” on the list of options that appear…) without leaving the App.
2. iPhone has Text to Speech engine that integrate into every App you install on your iPhone, enabling your iPhone to read every Text file on the screen while you do the listening. (It works across all your Apps including third-party Apps like Chrome, Opera mini, MS word etc. You can as well just select a particular word you don’t know how to pronounce (either on your browser, Opera Mini for instance or any other App you install on your iPhone) and your iPhone will pronounce it for you.
3. Have you ever played a Music with your phone while you’re feeling sleepy and you wish your phone could stop playing the music when you doss off? Well iPhone does it even when you’re using a third-party Music Player like TTPod or Musixmatch etc.
4. A lot of people like to take Selfie, but using your hand to hold your phone and control the camera at the same time, is kind of look awkward but with your iPhone Original headset, you can place your iPhone on a table or anything at all and comfortably control the Camera of your iPhone just with the volume locker on your headset.
5. A lot of people like to “Take Note” of things that matter to them…. For me I’ve lost countless of my Notes, since 2008 that I started using Smartphone even with my HTC One Dual SIM I lost my note after I updated to Android 5

(Until I discovered MIUI ROM the best Android ROM on the planet: MIUI also back up SMS, Contact, Call log, Recorder, Music Play List etc. for those interested)

iPhone Note App backs up your Notes automatically to Gmail or iCloud. You can also insert picture to your iPhone Note, also when you copy an article on the internet to your Note, it also copy both the picture in the article.

7. iPhone remains the only mobile phone that plays the award winning Chair Entertainment Game “Infinity Blade I, II & III”
8. Plus what you think a Lumia phone and BlackBerry can do combined togher.

9. Ladies and gentlemen, permit me to stop here for some people has already started thinking of the worth of their father’s land in the village so they and sell it and buy an iPhone. And I wouldn’t want to be held responsible for being the person that talked them into selling their fathers precious land.

First First. Its no competition because these companies still do their market surveys and make their millions, but to defend my beloved BlackBerry Classic........

1) Blackberry even learns new words as you type them so that it can be added to your dictionary and not appear as a typo anymore.
2)So many devices have text-speech (especially for blind people)
3) 3rd Party App? no point!!
4)Selfie stix are the shit!
5) Evernote for Blackberry even assigns an email to your account. Backs up to the cloud as you type.
7) We now have so many many Blackberry and Android games on BlackBerry 10. cant even start namimg them.
The security flaws in an iphone meeeeehn! i can't deal.
9) My Blackberry pin is unique. i do private chats now on BBM, i have a customised PIN sef! let me stop before you cry.

Warlord3000:
Nice writeup


Love it

thank sir

So as at May 2012 there were about 5,271,578 mobile phone users in Nigeria and about 2.6 million BlackBerry users in Nigeria alone, and the young people make up of about 73% of this number. Now check it out, we plenty o. But then how well do we act with these Smartphones. You're cooking and pinging, in class you're pinging, your mother is talking and you're 'facebooking' , you go to church and you want to tweet about what's trending on twitter or what the pastor just said. My people! No be so! Well we did BBM ethics so we decided to do something general! Please Read and Share.
Let's get to it!

1) The BlackBerry blinking red light as addictive as it is, is in no way connected to you heart, it ok if you let it blink for a while, and I must say, that red light uses about 1% of your battery life, so you musn't jump at the phone every time the light blinks.

2) Though its called a mobile phone it really shouldn't be a distraction especially to an audience or a superior. Know when to use your phone and when not to.

3)This should have come first, since we would all agree 'God first'. The church is the house of God. I no fit shout. If its an emergency, God will take care of it. And I also believe that there's nothing wrong with carrying the 'old' normal paper-back Bible we used to carry before we were plagued for those of you that want to say your Bible is in your smartphone or tablet.

4)Please if you're in a public you don't have to shout while making a call. Its noisy around you, you can shift to a quieter place. Just don't be loud. I sha know of a man that got hit for shouting and disturbing people in a bus. Google it.

5)If you must buy a refurbished (fairly used, second hand, UK used) Blackberry (or any other device) please make sure its legit. Y'all know what I mean. They say 'what you don't know won't kill you' but I've seen people pay seriously for what they didn't know.

6)When you see a 'no mobile phone' sign please obey it. Its not a sign of domination or to make you uncomfortable, but most times some mobile phone sounds trigger seizures in people with temporal lobe epilepsy and some people too have neuro sensory issues that cause extraneous noise to be a severe difficulty rather than a mild annoyance.

7)Don't text and drive. You think you're multi-tasking, you're not o. Don't text while walking either, people have lost their teeth Don't make calls while driving too, infact don't just do anything that involves interacting with human beings or anything that can hurt you while using your mobile phone. We've all heard the joke of the guy that was ironing and his phone rang.......!

There are the Normal, Loud, Medium, Silent, Vibrate only, Phone call only and the all alerts off sound profile for all Blackberrys. Simply choose one that fits wherever you are. You could even customize a new profile to fit you day-to-day activities. Know where not to use your phone, some places are inappropriate for cell phone usage, so avoid talking or allowing your Blackberry ring while in these places:
*Movie theaters
*Elevators
*Cabs and buses
*Funerals
*Live performances
*Libraries
*In classrooms
*Bathrooms
And anytime you are asked or required to.


9)When you 'PING' someone once or twice and you don't get a reply please chill and try later. Don't be a nuisance and start sending many 'Pings' believing that someone that is busy or just doesn't want to answer you will change his/her mind because you tried to murder their battery. One 'Ping' means its urgent, 2 'Pings' means reply ASAP, 3 means something is wrong with you.
10)When people give you their Blackberry its not license to check their personal stuff!

11)Finally I've tried this and its pretty cool. Establish a phone-free time or zone, a time of the day when you'll let your phone chill and keep your mind off it too, switching it off is ideal, even if its for 2 to 3 hours, maybe after work or school or just at a time when you won't really expect any emergencies. This helps take your mind off a lot of things and reduces stress.

Finally, BlackBerry (and other devices) have invaded our classrooms, bedrooms, restaurants, theaters, offices, streets and even worship places and sooner than later things might get out of hand. Let's help spread the word and do shit right.
You can shun it all if you think any of these don't apply to you. Ignorance they say is bliss.

PS: Feel free to add your thoughts too.
