Seriously, why don't you think of coming back home, and seeing if you can get someone here? I have a friend who did it that way and she's happily "hooked" now. But you still have to be very careful though. Some nigerians here are no less determined to get a green card that the ones you were talking about. Wish you luck.

What the fxck Seeni did that?? Noo he didn't. I will be soo dissapointed in him if he did. sad
Do you know him? Call him to order ASAP.

Seun:

A Nairaland member known as seeni4ever has accepted responsibility for the downtime we experienced on Nairaland. Apparently he is responsible for making my VPS "vanish":
hey, motherfucker, if you don't stop blocking me from nairaland. i will
crash the site finally including naijarita. wo the mess you think you are.
u nedd to be careful of your actions before you get yourself into trouble.


I have readmitted him to the site because of his threats. What do you suggest? This does not sound like something the police will understand.

Seun, are you sure he's not just taking advantage of the downtime you had? I really don't think you should give in because of his threats. Your web hosts should be able to provide details of how the VPS vanished. I've been to this Seeni guy's website and I'm not impressed in the least. It does not even [url=http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.seeni4ever.i8.com%2F]validate[/url]... If he can't even make a good website, I don't think he's that tech-wise to be able to log into your host's machine, find your own VPS and delete it. Unless yout host has some real security issues...
Those are just my thoughts, I could be wrong.

Ever tried eating your noodles raw wid a glass of baba dudu...simply marvellous grin
Yes oh. That's how we used to "snack" it way back in Secondary School. When cooking was not allowed.
Another way was to soak it in cold water for about 2 hours, drain the water and add the souce. It turns out like cooked indomie

Business / Re: Why Are There No Venture Capitalists In Nigeria? by Icon(m): 11:48am On Feb 05, 2006
dejiolowe:

the truth is that the rich dudes in naija r selfish and dumb. a lot of them got their money from frauds and government contracts. the idea of value/wealth creation via vc activities is strange to them. they would rather finance someone going to the guber so there could be promises of money.
Exactly. Most of the rich people don't know jack about computers or IT anyway, talk less of investing in some startup IT firm or some young guys who want to start programming. The largest IT firms in Nigeria are still quite small, and none of them is on the Stock exchange yet. The main problem is that Nigeria has not fully embraced IT.

africanboy:

Adedibu recently embarassed the nation by publicly saying he and Ladoja agreed to pay him (Adedibu) 1/4 of the 60+ million naira "Security Vote"

Now, thats the type of venture capitalism that operates mostly in Nigeria.

Is that the kind of man that will invest into IT in Nigeria? He'll just impeach the CEO one day and replace him with some dude who didn't go to secondary school.
Romance / Re: Ladies: Would You Date A Man Younger Than You? by Icon(m): 11:43am On Feb 05, 2006
Ama:

Personally, I have dated guys who are younger than me. The youngest guy I have dated was 7yrs younger than me. It wasn't my fault that he thought I was 22!!! But i told him that very evening that we met that I was actually 7 years older than him and he was fine with it.

We got on very well like a house on fire but in my opinion, what killed the relationship was the fact that I didn't know what to do with him and he felt a little neglected. I had a life and I think he probably felt that he wasn't part of it.

I will definately date a younger man again if the opportunity arises. Infact with me when it comes to men, equal opportunities apply.
God bless you for that reply. There are guys who are 22 years old but have the mind and maturity of someone much older. Personally I have friends who have married older ladies. It all depends on the understanding between the 2 of you. Now, this doesn't mean there won't be challenges, but then which relationships don't have challenges?

Sports / Re: Nigeria Vs Tunisia Are You Watching The Match? by Icon(m): 10:18pm On Feb 04, 2006
Enyeama was really the man of the match. Why did they have to use defenders to play the first 3 penalties? They were all shooting to the right and the keeper kind of knew. Thank God it worked out and thank God Kanu scored. Nigerians would never have forgiven him if he hadn't.
Food / Re: Fast Food Joints by Icon(m): 10:13pm On Feb 04, 2006
Some bukas are. At lease the food is served steaming hot so there's absence of micro organisms in it. If the plates and the cups are clean, then you can be guranteed of healthy food. In the places like Sweet Sensation, Tantalizers and stuff, they usually leave the food open for so long under the glass cabinet thing, that's perfect for germs to breed.
Food / Re: Fast Food Joints by Icon(m): 2:04pm On Feb 04, 2006
Bibi:

Mi belief that the safest joints are those special bukas o jare. I visited tantalizer twice when i was in nigeria lately and I ended up with stomach aches...

I was in Sweet sensation yesterday evening and i've not been able to go out today cos of running stomach. Most of those joints are not healthy. Especially the ones with lots of people.

It'll be difficult to pass such a law in Nigeria. They'll only be able to trace to the ISP or cyber-cafe where the e-annoyance originated from. Any how many people visit cyber-cafes a day?

Forum Games / Re: Fill In The Story by Icon(m): 11:52am On Feb 04, 2006
It's a bit complex but it's quite simple really. If you used to watch "Be My Guest" on Galaxy TV some years back, you'll be familiar with the game. Let me start

1. One day, I was driving to an interview venue.
2. Suddenly I was bashed on the side by another car.
3. In annoyance, i gave the guy who bashed me a dirty slap.
4. I continued on my way
5. I got into the interview room.
6. Surprisingly, my interviewer was ... the same man I had slapped.
7. I'll never act in annoyance again

Get it?
OK Maybe you should give us the next sentence and then we'll continue
