UncleJJ: Well, I don't think a programmer should think of ideas, that's the job of an entrepreneur.

And, its the programmers, job to implement and make such ideas a reality.

Seriously? this is the most ridiculous stuff av heard in a long while

UncleJJ: With that said,ur idea sucks!

buzor: Nice idea. But ll take a hell of patience and hard work to see it to success

thanks. any other inputs, pls guys i wouldnt mind you showing me some tough love.

Tpfkakambo: ur idea needs mor fleshg out.
How will it go viral as an idea. Thnk , fb,twitter,groupon, these strtups gained momentum by the buzz they created , they were mrktd by users word of m.
Verification issues. Hw do i knw a persn is as gud as they say by just readg their cv's on d site?

i think that will be solved by showcasing other users reviews and rating.
and also, the network effect might grow just like all this online money making schemes(.just that this isnt sheer fraud.)

hi.

happy sunday to all. please i still need your comments

lordZOUGA: LinkedIn?

not at all. that's job proffessional networking.

daragrams: concept is good

tankz. but is it good enough? pls other pple in the house. your comments will be highly appreciated...

hello programmers on nairaland, my name is Howard as you can well see on my handle. am creating this new Web-based business and i was wondering if it was okay so i want to ask you guys what you think. . So here i am. please i need your honest appraisals. thanks alot.

The idea is to build an online local market-place for the hiring of talented people,
professionals or in fact anybody with needed abilities/services.

Its a website that enables anyone who has an ability or can do any
stuff, state their talents/abilities/passions and use their profile as
an online business page and people who need their services coming to
search for them. Imagine you need a home teacher for your child and
all you have to do is search for someone you need. or an event planner or others.

I think this might be a kind of social stuff not really for profit,
that will enable people look to themselves and say 'what can i do or
know how to do that people will need and can earn me some money' and
hopefully provoking enterprising thoughts in them.


So what do you guys think?





Update:
From idea to partial implementation.
Pls check out The version 1.0 which is open
only to programmers and
developers for now [url=yolpe.com]Here[/url]..

I HAVE VERY FOND MEMORIES of my first Africa Cup of Nations, the one hosted and won by Nigeria in 1980.
I call it my ‘first’ Cup of Nations because it was the first time I would follow the proceedings of the competition from start to finish and, even as I write this, I can recollect several episodes quite vividly.
I was a final year student at Iganmode Grammar School, Ota, Ogun State. It was March, 1980, just about three months to my West African School Certificate (WASC)exams.
Iganmode Grammar School is actually a walking distance from the present day Obasanjo Farms in Ota where the Super Eagleshave used as training camp in recent years. When I was in school, though, Obasanjo Farmshad not been established there, so I didn’t havethe privilege of sneaking out to watch the nationalteam train as I imagine the present boys in the school would have been doing.

I was in the boarding house, so I didn’t have the chance of watching any of the games live at either of the two centres in Lagos and Ibadan. Of course, some of mybolder and bigger classmates sneaked out to watch the Eagles play in Lagos, but I was always an obedient, law-abiding school boy!
Unfortunately, the boarding house television sethad broken down, or so we were told because Ihad never set my eyes on it anyway, since I was admitted into “IGS” in 1975. We just learntthat the school had one big TV set which was bad and had been locked up in the school storeadjacent to the Library in the “Senior Block”
accommodating classes four and five. So, it wasthe housemaster Mr. John Amoah’s 14inch black and white television set that came to the rescue of about 200 soccer-crazy boarding school boys at Iganmode Grammar School in 1980.
Mr. Amoah was actually my favourite teacher. He taught my class in my best two subjects, English Language and English Literature. In fact, Mr. Amoah was instrumental in my becoming a journalist, as he told me back then that I had a talent for writing and encouraged me in a lot of ways. See why I said I have a load of sweet, everlasting memories about the 1980 Nations Cup?
Now, Mr. Amoah was a Ghanaian and, in football terms, that meant a lot to the Nigerian soccer fan, even back then. Ghana had won theprevious Nations Cup at home in 1978 and had come to Nigeria as defending champions. They were grouped with Morocco, Guinea and Algeria in what was considered the zone of death in Ibadan. And I remember as if it was yesterday that the wish of every boy in Iganmode was that Ghana should “die” in the zone by failing to qualify.
We regarded Ghana as the biggest stumbling block to an expected Eagles victory and didn’t want to see their faces in Lagos at all. And so itturned out as Morocco and Algeria shut out theBlack Stars in Ibadan. But I shall come to that later.

Back in Lagos and the opening day of the 12th Africa Cup of Nations on March 3, 1980. The Eagles were up against the Taifa Stars of Tazania and Mr. Amoah had to bring out his small TV set on the hostel assembly ground. Two hundred of us crowded around the tiny box. And, for every goal the Eagles scored, we would yell and scatter in different directions to celebrate, then converge back on the tiny box to watch and gesticulate at every movement asthe game continued.

The Eagles won that opening match 3-1, struggled to a goalless draw with a stubborn Ivorien side in their second game, then beat Egypt with an Okey Isima goal in their last group match. Nigeria qualified for the semi-final as group leaders and beat Morocco 1-0 in clearly their toughest match of the tournament.
Morocco, meanwhile, had done our wish by eliminating Ghana. In their group’s opening game played under floodlights in Ibadan, the Moroccans defeated Ghana 1-0 in a high-tempomatch and the Ghanaians never recovered fromthat setback.

I remember the match quite well because, on this occasion, Mr. Amoah had not brought out his TV as it was dark and all students ought to be in bed. But fanatics like me couldn’t sleep and we sneaked to Mr. Amoah’s window to peep in at the match. The player I remember most on the Ghana side was the cap-wearing goalkeeper Joseph Carr.
The housemaster was angry that Ibadan fans were cheering Morocco and booing Ghana. “Why, why why are they supporting the North Africans,” Mr. Amoah was moaning to no one inparticular. “Nigerians should be supporting us as their black West African brothers,” he complained and I still remember how he pronounced the word “brothers” in that peculiar Ghanaian way: “Brathers!” But for us young, mischievous fanatics at the window, Mr.Amoah’s moans were sweet music to our ears. Ghana’s pain was our joy.

Indeed, the Nigeria-Ghana rivalry runs long and deep as I recollect that my Dad once told me that the Ghanaians were so good in the 1960s that they used to beat Nigeria by comprehensive scorelines like 5-0 in Accra and 7-0 in Lagos! Maybe the scores were exaggerated, but it was like Ghana had been our nemesis for long and they were to be hatedwith a passion!
Back to 1980, March 22 to be precise, Nigeria played Algeria in the final of the 12th Africa Cup of Nations and Mr. Amoah, having recovered from Ghana’s exit, brought out his 14inch TV set again. It was probably the Eagles’ easiest game as they completely overwhelmed the Algerians. Three times Nigeria scored, and three times200 of us Iganmode spectators scattered in different directions to celebrate.

The heroes of Nigeria’s triumph, of course, were “Mathematical” Segun Odegbami whose footworks brought applause from us each time he “shuffled those long legs to confuse his opponents; “Chief Justice” Adokiye Amiesimaka who would never tuck in his jersey into his shorts and Felix Owolabi who drew a spontaneous “Owoblow” from the crowd each time he touched the ball.
It’s 25 years now that all these happened but I can still remember everything as if it was yesterday.
I have been lucky. In those 25 years, I have gone on to fulfil Mr. Amoah’s predictionand become a journalist; I have come into personal contact with nearly all of those heroes of 1980, interviewing them, writing about them and even working with them.
The great Segun Odegbami is my director at Complete Sports and we sit at the same table, can you imagine? I have had breakfast with “Owoblow” in his house in Ibadan, and I have been guest of Adokiye Amiesimaka in Port Harcourt. In fact, I went on the Port Harcourt trip with Segun Odegbami and as I sat there, the two great wing wizards, Segun on the rightand Adokiye on the left, recalled some of their great moments together.

I looked at myself, sitting between two great players, two African champions who terrorised defences across the continent, two superstars who orchestrated the first remarkable momentsin Nigerian football history.
It’s not everybody who gets to meet their boyhood heroes face-to-face, much less relate with them so closely.
These are things money cannot buy. Surely, I’ve been lucky and I know it. Thank God.
Addendum: My first Nations Cup coverage as a journalist was at Senegal ‘92 and Ghanaians, again, played a prominent part in my recollections. As we rode on the media bus from the hotel to the semi-final match betweenNigeria and Ghana at theStade L’ Amitie in Dakar, a loudmouth Ghanaian colleague (I can’trecall his name now, so I’ll call him “Kofi”) started running an imaginary commentary on the match yet to be played and concluded as we arrived in the stadium by saying: “Final score: Nigeria 1, Ghana 2.”
The Nigerian press corps simply ignored him, determined to let our Eagles do the talking for us by winning on the field of play. Unfortunately for us, Ghana won the match 2-1as “Kofi” had predicted and you need to hear his boasts on the bus ride back to the hotel. The eyes of the Nigerian guys, including yours truly, were red. But we still had the last laugh because, whereas Nigeria defeated another arch rivalCameroun in the third place match tograb the bronze medal, “Kofi” and Ghana surprisingly crashed to Cote d’ Ivoire in a marathon penalty shoot-out in the final.

Fellow NLanders share yours if any.

you said a firm tried it last and it has died in a hurry? wat is the firm's name exactly

fallguy: man, the days of local niche locale based website is over.
Any web based business has to be fully executed cuz corporate honed commandoes are invading
the turf that teens and youths with a pc/lappy tinkering html and css and so on once hoped
to colonise.
Craiglist in africa!! well lets see how it plays out.
for the jobberman thing, i had expressed my sentiments earlier. there's no direct
value correspondence for candidates paying for jobs except for those who are already
favored (no thanks to the various age , so on biases in the industry).
. secondly, there's no actual real value creation or increase from the entry of a match making firm,
the availabe jobs in the country wont triple or double because
a matchmaker website debuted. besides the only way they could prbly aim to try to stay
afloat is not going to go down well with job seekers,
that is by trying to make themselves the main job seeking door way!!
a firm tried it once and got lambasted ,when they tried to make themselves the default
, interview test administrators on behalf of corporations,
people really reacted.
the firm is now history. it died in a hurry.

what's the name exactly(of this firm)

....
that's all i can say.

yeah
