₦airaland Forum

Hello,

As discussed in a previous thread, this forum is going commercial, because we are intent on building a forum that is worth being paid for. Reading and participation on all public discussions will be 100% free, but if you want to:

* Interact with other members by private messaging, email or chat (for friendship, dating, or business).
* Participate in various contests in which cash prizes and gifts wirth thousands of Naira will be won.

, then you will need to pay for at least a month.

The price for one month of full membership will be either 400 naira or 250 naira. Which price do you prefer, and why? Please take a moment to vote in the poll above.

Seun,
Site Administrator.

Hi Seun,

I so much appreciate you for your ingenuity in establishig
a Nigerian Forum like this for Nigeria and for Nigerian people.
You are great.

I want to say thank you for bring up this important issue:
the issue of membership fee,I personally[I am sorry if this
offends you] but I have to say it.I dont like the idea of
payment whatsoever in any forum.To me,it is a short-sighted
vision.Let me tell you,the major reason people are flocking NL is
because of the price tag - FREE.

To bring this idea of payment whatsoever,I must tell,you will
definitely scare some people away.This is not to say that I or
so many other people can not afford this,but as you know,we
are all Nigerians.And the most important word to a Nigerian is
FREE.

Nairaland will always grow as long as it is allowed to be free.
Think about it.Ok if you say you want to be collecting membership
fee[whether on Romance Section or where ever],how much will
you gather in the short run,compared to the long term effect of
having a large database of members who are happily joining and
posting freely.Remember the more membership database you
have,the more monetary value your site will be.

Take a look at some of the most populous social media
sites on the net - they are all absolutely free and that is the
secret of their exponential growth rate.With the large data
base they have,they make their money through adverts and
venture capitalists.

If I may advice,I would say you should just be patient for
NL would get to that level.At least NL is Nigeria No 1
internet social medium for now and it would be very bad
if you take this pioneer position away from it.

What I would have want you to do is to build more valuable
applications and resources to make it more useful for the
ever growing users.

To your success.

See how much NL is worth?Link:

Puppies

Puppies?What sort of puppies?Please I need
you to be direct about this.

Be focused.

Thanks

There is a great difference between ideology and reality.
Note this.Ideologists don't care how it works - they just
deliver the burning ideas and feel it must work.They don't
care if they are making millions or billions.Their pleasure
lies in motivating others - they love to influence the way
people think,they change the world.

This is where they feel their calling or talents lie.There are
political,social,financial,economic,or spiritual ideologists.
Robert Kiyosaki happens to be ones of them.

Take a look at some of the world's most influential professional
speakers like Zig Ziglar,Jim Rohn,Anthony Robbins,Brian Tracy,
Stephen Covey and so on.Are these guys ''really'' affluent?
Stephen Covey,author of The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People
has sold more than 15million copies of that book and the book is in
about 38 language! But come to think of it,is he in Forbes[the World Rich
List].He is not,and he doesn't care that much[this does not mean
he did not like money].All he wants is to motivate and inspire lives,
and he is rightly doing that.Infact,Stephen Covey is a managerial
advisor to some of the Fortune 500 Companies in America.These
companies are raking in billions of dollars in profit annually,and
most their CEOs are in Forbes.


Sam Adeyemi,one of Nigeria's foremost professional speakers,
talks about successful living,personal and organisational
finance strategies.He hosts the radio programme,''Success
Power'',which is broadcast in Nigeria and other nations.He
teaches wealth creation tactics.The question now is,Is he
among the top 1000 richest people in Nigeria?I don't think
he is.But I am sure Sam loves what he is doing - speaking.


Remember we said he teaches wealth creation,we did't say
he practices wealth creation tactics.


So for Robert Kiyosaki,he should be allowed to be.After all,his
teachings[not practice,please]has touched and is still touching
millions of lives positively around the world,his teachings has
made new billionaires and inspired others to be.

Let us take an excerpt from one of his books on his autobiog-
raphy:


, Returning from war,Robert went to work for Xerox
Corporation and in 1977 started a company that brought the
first Nylon Velcro surfer nylon to market,In 1985 he founded
an international company that taught[not practiced] business
and investing to tens of thousands of students throughout
the world,

Whether he taught or practiced what he teahes,I believed
this great icon has made his mark positively.

And I am sure you agree with me.

Thanks

What do guys mean? If the president should die today,it
it going to be a case of double tragedy.This is because[i] men [/i]
that be would never allow Mr Vice President to smell
that sit for one day whether constitution or no constitution,
after all the constitutions were written by man,for man.

So I believe it will be patriotic and humane to pray
for our president.Illness could meet anybody-
whatsoever.

Thanks

@mentormi,what do u really mean,pls come
out a little bit simplier.[list]
[li][/li]

[/list]
walk the WALK,don't talk the TALK

He came back on Sunday and told me he almost got tempted by other girls, What do I do?

What do u do? Do what u used to do b4 d[i] beautiful standing girls[/i] starts walking

What is happening?After a protracted four good months strike

by ASUU,they are still proposig a fresh strike in the pipeline.

This is occassioned by Federal Govt's stand on No work,No pay.

ASUU are yet to be paid thier August and September salaries.

Who will bear this brunt as usual? Is it not the students?

Hi forumites,

I have a question that has always been lingering

on my lips for some time now.The question is no other

thing than:for how long will it takr UNIBEN to release

their PUME results.Other schools like DELSU,AAU,that even

wrote weeks after UNIBEN are already out for a very

long time now.Then what is withholding UNIBEN from

releasing hers?.There is even a romour that individuals

with 'long necks' are already cheking thier marked

scripts.This is getting out of hand.

@phemour,

I can't help but commend you for a job well done.

Thumps up for this invaluable info.But I want to quickly

correct a mistake here.Prof.E.A.C Nwanze for some

months now[as far back as March,2009] is no longer

the vice-chancellor of UNIBEN.The new VC was appoinetd

yesterday[30-11-2009],he is Prof.Godwin Osayuki Oshodin,he

was the immediate past Dean of the Faculty Of Education

I hope the correction will solved this error.

Thanks.

The other day I was arguing with my friend whether oil and internet,which

is the most profitable business venture?My friend said it is oil,

and I said it is the internet.What do you feel?

I will support my claim with the following examples.If you visit

http://www.forbes.com,you will discover that among the first

40 richest people in the world,at least 15 or thereabout are from the

internet and computing,men like Bill Gates,Paul Allen,Larry Ellison,

Michael Dell,Siergey Brin,Larry Page,and so on.These men made it

faster with the internet and computer compared with the likes of

John D,Rockerfeller,Roman Ibrahimovic,etc.

There is huge goldmine in the internet

@nownder

My dear brother,i believe that if you have any problem

with anybody whatsoever,i don't think it is on a forum

like this that you will come to settle it or lay accusation

and allegation.I believe there better ways this issue could

be solved other than this.Ok?

Anyway what has he done actually?,tell us.But pls don't

make this an issue.

Nairaland has taught me:

1.Nigerians are funny

2.We are patriotic as a people

3.Men are the major players in the nigerian game.

Women are still behind when it comes awareness.

The number of women on the internet is still low.

when it comes to banking in Nigeria,it is either GTB and others,Give GTB a try,and you will be glad you did

Recently the following men has been shortlisted by Forbes as follows.

Enjoy!

Johann Rupert (South Africa)African Rank No.9 - World Rank No.601 - Wealth $1.2 billion
It has been another bad year for the Rupert family. Once ranked No.3 on the list of richest in Africa, the family is in danger of slipping out of the list all together. The bulk of their wealth is tied into the Richemont Group, a major player in luxury goods and this is a sector that has been particularly hard hit by the global down turn. The summation of this is a fall in wealth of over $2.4 billion and a drop to No.9 in the African rich list.

Femi Otedola (Nigeria) African Rank No. 9 - World Rank No.601 - Wealth $1.2 billon
Last year saw the debut of Aliko Dangote as the first entry from Africa’s most populous country, Nigeria in the Forbes Billionaire list. This year sees another entry, oil magnate Femi Odetola. Odetola is one of a cortège of moguls who prospered under the Nigeria last administration, others include Aliko Dangote, Jim Ovia (Zenith Bank), Michael Adenuga (Glo Telecoms) and Tony Elumelu (UBA Bank) . It would be no surprise if one of the latter three makes the list next year.

Patrice Motsepe (South Africa)
African Rank No.8 - World Rank No.559 - Wealth $1.3 billion
Patrice Motsepe was a new entrant this time last year his mining empire benefitting from record commodity prices to make him the first black South African to make the African rich list. A year on the fall in commodity prices particularly platinum has hit him hard with his personal wealth falling $1.1 billion. Despite the fall he was still able to claw his way up one spot to No.8 on the list.

Onsi Sawiris (Egypt) African No.7 - World Rank No.430 - Wealth $1.7 billon
In 2008 the Sawiris family were easily the richest family in Africa with father Onil and sons Naguib, Nassef and Samih boasting a combined wealth of $35.7 billion. The global crisis has seen this wealth decimated. The patriarch of the Sawiris family, Onil saw his personal wealth plunge from $9.1 billion to $1.7 billion on the back of collapse in the value of the Sawiris’s construction group, telecommunication group and leisure interests.

Mo Ibrahim (Sudan) African No.6 - World Rank 334 - Wealth $2 billion
We omitted Mo Ibrahim from our list last year, with $2 billion to his name we are not going to make the same mistake twice. Mo Ibrahim made his fortune building up the CelTel mobile phone empire and selling it on to Kuwaiti investors. In recent years he is most famous for his $5 million African leadership prize.

Aliko Dangote (Nigeria) African No.5 - World Rank No.261 - Wealth $2.5 billion
The Nigerian Stock Exchange was a few years ago one of the world fastest growing exchanges but it has plummeted over the last few months and with it has gone a substantial proportion of Dangote’s wealth. Despite losing over $800 million he still moves up two places as others have suffered even more painful losses.

Naguib Sawiris (Egypt) African No.4 - World Rank No.205 - Wealth $3.0 billion
Last year there were three Sawiris brothers in the list Naguib, Nassef and Samih. Move forward one year, mix in a global financial crisis and only two brother are left in the billionaires club with Samih ejected. Naguib who last year was richest man in Africa has lost an eye-watering $9.7 billion over the year as the value of his telecommunications empire, Orascom Telecom Holdings crashed by close to 90% and he now finds himself nestled in fourth place on the list.

Nassef Sawiris (Egypt)
African No.3 - World Rank 196 - Wealth $3.1 billion
Nassef may have only dropped one position in the list but losing that one place was accompanied by a loss of $7.9 billion. His wealth has been hit by twin blows of falling valuation of his construction interest, Orascom Constructions which has dropped over 80% from its peak, and falling oil prices which have affected many of the firm’s Middle Eastern clients.

Nicky Oppenheimer (South Africa) African Rank No.2 - World Rank No 98 - Wealth $5 billion
They say diamonds are forever and the Oppenheimer family proved this as they remain as a mainstay of Africa’s rich list and they have weathered the financial crisis relatively unscathed. They were aided by having sold a significant part of their Anglo American empire at the peak of the market.

Mohammed Al Amoudi (Ethiopia) African Rank No.1 - World Rank No. 43 - Wealth $9 billion
We come to the top of the list and the honour of the ‘Richest Man in Africa’ goes to Ethiopian born Mohammed Al Amoudi. Saudi based Al Amoudi has successfully preserved his $9 billion fortune through these troubled times and that act of financial stewardship alone has seen him rise from No.4 to the top of the rich list and No.43 in the world. His interests are spread across Sweden, the Middle East and his home country of Ethiopia

These men are representing Africa in the world rich list,do you think they are real?
