@OP: Normally, I wouldn't say this but this is by far one of the dumbest questions I have seen from a guy on Nairaland. Honestly, a lot of you so called "men" that come on these threads and ask idiotic questions as to whether or not it is ok to marry a woman in a position of power are nothing more than insecure sniveling cowards! Do you sit around and ask women if its ok for them to marry male officers? Do you sit around and ask women if its ok for them to marry male judges? Do you sit around and ask women if its ok for them to marry men in the army? You even asking this question just goes to show how you think of women. OP, please listen and listen well, get out of whatever prehistoric cave you're living in so you can realize and understand that not all women of today can or will be your 'yes man'. If what you wanted was someone who will be compliant to you and your male ego then step aside and let a real man come into the young woman's life--career women of Nigeria and the world don't need men like you bringing them down just because you can't fathom the thought or idea of a woman actually being in a position of power or status.

@OP: I don't like pot bellies. Having a potbelly whether male or female means that when you stand up, you gënital will no longer be visible to me grin

Also, I noticed that now you can't tell if someone is online or offline.

Viewing size makes no difference. Either way, the same problems still persist.

Okija_juju: This is the worst thing to happen to happen to Nairaland since the registration of Mr. Cork. . . angry

If you insert a smiley, it duplicates your post!! kai!! Suen, you no just try to try. . .

Old Nairaland or Nothing!!

lmao @ the Mr. Cork comment grin

Omg, I thought I was the only one that noticed the whole duplicating thing. When I was writing my feedback of this new layout on another thread, I saw it and i thought my eyes were playing games with me.
Nairaland / General / Re: The New Nairaland: Are You Staying Or Leaving? by InkedNerd(f): 12:35am On Mar 13, 2012
@OP: I'm still deciding. Honestly, the idea of using something that is a hassle is just a bit much for me. One thing I liked about the old version of Nairaland was that it functions were easy to manage. This reminds me of when Myspace started doing shït that was over the top and unnecessary. Like I'm mentioned before, I'm not tryin' to throw shade on Seun, but just basic maneuvering has become a nuisance. As a whole, I applaud his effort. I'm actually thinking about joining Naijapals cry
Nairaland / General / Re: "Nairaland 2.0" Is Live! Any Questions Or Feedback? by InkedNerd(f): 6:37pm On Mar 12, 2012
I'm sorry Seun, but this is just nonfunctional and downright ugly! I've been trying my hardest to see the good in this [no pun in tended] but my eyes are too strained. I like certain new features like the "Add friends" option but other than that I see no purpose in the layout being as it is. Visually speaking, it's just not practical. Even as I type this, I can't even see or read the comments below my reply box--everything is just white! I wanted to reply to a thread the other day and it took me a couple of hours before I realized that I could "quote" people in order to reply, but the problem with that was that when I wanted to quote multiple people it FORCED me to open multiple tabs on my browser just so I could copy and paste the comment onto the initial reply box I was using. Honestly, that is just too much work just to reply to ONE THREAD!!! I also don't like the idea that when I click on some threads I've replied to in the past, I am automatically following it. I shouldn't have to always be clicking 'unfollow' every time I want to reply to something. I noticed that quite a few people asked if it would be possible to make the old version accessible to those who wanted it--that to me seems like an excellent idea that I think you should at least think about. And, it appears that some of the features such as the fonts, sizing, bold, italics aren't working. When I tried to use those features, nothing appeared and for whatever reason clicking on it and scrolling up and down the page was causing everything that I wrote to be copied and pasted. So unfortunately, I had to type those things [bolding words, italicizing words, and putting in the fonts] on my own, meaning I added them in! It just seems like such a hassle. If I wanted to be frustrated and bothered in such a manner, I would have opened up Dreamweaver and annoyed myself.

The color scheme as a whole is a bit much. Not that I'm saying you need to be like other social networking sites and forums but take a good look at their layout and color schemes. There actually is a science to color schemes on social networking sites and forums. Please consider taking a look at these links → http://www.onextrapixel.com/2010/11/25/what-does-your-websites-color-scheme-reveal-about-you/ and http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/design/color-psychology-website-design/
I came across an interesting article that highlights 11 common web design mistakes (blunders) that web designers and developers make. One aspect of the article that truly stuck out to me was when the author wrote "Building a website can be daunting but the real challenge lies in making it usable. The problem is most web designers forget that the website wasn’t created for themselves but to solve the users’ needs. They give creativity priority over practicality and usability."

The author points out 11 mistakes which include [but I'm sure are not limited to]: the need for a search box, poor readability and legibility, unorganized content layout, bad navigation, inconsistent interface design, unfriendly screen resolution, complicated registration forms, unscrupulous use of images/animations [I've never seen you use this so I personally don't believe that it applies to you], cluttered pages/more whitespace, background music [once again, this doesn't apply to you, although the the idea of background music on Nairaland cracks me up], and finally, last but not least, test, test and test [I don't know if that is the stage you're on, but I really think you need to KEEP re-testing!]. That’s bottom line, like the author points out, "if it’s simple, it’s usable. All in all, great websites keep it simple and usable. Do your homework and it comes easy and naturally.

Initially after using Nairaland 2.0, I was VERY frustrated [and still am!!!!] to the point where I actually considered not posting [but still reading content on the site] or succumb to my dislike for this new layout and not coming back at all. I know I am just one voice among many but with all seriousness, this seems like a MAJOR downgrade rather than an upgrade. I have had to do assignments in class which include web design and developing websites so I know its no easy task so I understand that that developing a site like Nairaland isn't something that everyone can do. I just hope that you take the time out to heart people out and try to look at things from their point of view as consumers of this site, so please consider their opinions from various angles.

By the way, this was the article that I was referencing → http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/11-common-mistakes-blunders-in-web-design/

Like, what makes y'all think this individual is actually Linda?  cheesy
Well, poster, Linda has no influence - neither negative nor +ive - on me. . . .Only a select few are potent enough to.

Good point. I thought about that but I figured I had nothing to lose regardless of whether or not its actually her tongue

Bro, bear in mind that she also has her fears about you(e.g, what if he shoots blanks?). . . but she is willing to let that slide just to be with you. . . wink

True!

lindaikeji:

I am generally viewed in all circles as a Bad influence because I talk about Sex, violation and catchy entertainment news on my LindaIkeji Blog
Please tell me what is your Opinion about me?
Could this be the reason why ……………………,  Let me keep that to myself except you can decode
But Just tell me, for those of you guyz who are familiar with my Blogpost, do you think  I am a Bad Influence in the society?


No, personally I don't think you're bad influence in the society but I do think you could use the platform you're on a a bit more to address certain issues. Compared to most Nigerians, you seem open minded and at times unapologetic which is quite refreshing coming from an African woman.

Ejiné:

It appears there's no way around this. So maybe I'll just have to take those risks  undecided
Here goes nothing.

Just be careful about how you ask her, your tone, and the words you use to address the issue.
Romance / Re: How Can I Tell If She Has Had An Abortion Before? by InkedNerd(f): 11:58am On Mar 10, 2012
Ejiné:

Yes, I do. I've had girlfriends, 'physical acquaintances' and the rest, but none of that has involved cradles. You see, it's not about myself or what I'd feel about it (Cuz hell, I'm no saint. Not by a long shot - I admit it); but it's the disgrace and humiliation that comes with it. . . from the family, to the outer circle. This is a strong Catholic family, and divorces, separations and second marriages (barring widowhood) are seriously frowned at.

Though I don't see it as a 'disgraceful' act, the right thing to do is to ask her. It's not like you can force her to get an exam because that would both be wrong and intrusive on your part. Asking is all you can do. If she truly loves and respects you as her partner then hopefully, she will tell you whether or not she has indeed had on. Even if she did have an abortion, that doesn't make her a bad person, especially if you don't know the circumstances surrounding the abortion. Also, you said that you've had girlfriends, 'physical acquaintances' and the rest, but none of that has involved cradles but that's if you even know every aspect of the those individuals lives. Truth be told, there are women who have abortions and never tell their partners or sex buddies so for all you know one of those past sexcapades could have resulted in the conception of a child who may have been aborted. And like ~Killz~ stated, if she indeed has had an abortion in the past, that doesn't mean her ability to have children has automatically gone out the window.

Ejiné:

shocked Not about baby-killing, mehn!!
You don't understand. This girl is just extremely fragile. Her emotions work on some bizarre domino-like order. Little misyarns get her weeping and fighting with me! Yes, I've accepted she's not perfect; and I've found other 'corner-corner' ways to get around her moments.
But I just seem to have reached a dead-end with this abortion issue. I don't know how to go about this without getting her hurt; so here I am on the internet looking for 'mgbor'.

Saying she's fragile is no reason not to address it if you truly want to know. You shouldn't be getting married or having children if you're not mature enough to approach or address certain issue. Marriage will require a lot of work and at this early stage, if this is something you can't handle then you should rethink this whole idea of even being in a relationship.

peepz, i told you lipsrsealed

Told what? All I asked is that I know the dude is alive. If I'm dating the person, I at least deserve that bit of information. Sheesh! Don't date if you don't want people to care about you. My response was in reference to dating. If I'm interested in a guy and not dating him, its not like I expect a call. Smh, sometimes you men think too highly of yourselves tongue
Romance / Re: How Can I Tell If She Has Had An Abortion Before? by InkedNerd(f): 11:37am On Mar 10, 2012
Lemme ask you something OP, do you have asëxual past as well [regardless of the number of people you have been with or what kind of sëxual acts you have or haven't been involved in]? If not then you shouldn't be taking on the task of judging her based on her sëxual past.

As for her having/not having an abortion, if her ability to have children is truly a concern of yours then only way you could find out is if you find out from her DIRECTLY or if she goes to a gynecologist and is examined. Aside from that, there are no other ways to find out. Don't just rely on hearsay as a means of trying to find answers because in the process some [if not all] of the things people may be telling you could be false. Also, her being your girlfriend doesn't mean that you should try to strong arm her into telling you. If you truly care about the likelihood of having children in the future then you must ask her yourself!
