I can see you currently have less funds to acquire the tools needed to really pursue software development properly.

I will recommend you focus first of web and mobile apps because they are quicker to monetise. The Nigeria software industry is still very unproductive for the software developer.

I am speaking from experience, I did Sun Java like 5years ago in NIIT, I couldn't really get a proper job or even use the acquired knowledge to startup my own business. I decided to take some courses in Web development, I did some .NET, and also php MySQL, Ajax and JQuery. Within 3months, I was developing web projects for companies and also building some for my personal use and I was able to save money to buy a laptop, get an office for my business etc.

I just think I need to wait for my next adsense payment to employ the service of other developers to join the OWS project. The sites gets about 20 - 30euros daily.

Nigerian competent web application developers are usually very expensive and too busy, that was why I decided leaving them out right now.

I have been doing a lot of SEO and programming on this portal www.omavo.com.

The SEO has greatly help lift the traffic above the roof. Within 3weeks my 7days ranking is now around 14k from over a million+.

I am looking for $1200 to get 2 Indian developers to complete the project. Doing it all alone is killing me and with the current wave of massive traffic, I need to act fast to keep up with the pace of growth.

Anyone is willing to contribute in helping out raise this fund should contact me through this email: wmg2009@gmail.com or call 07064931423.

What is the code all about?

If you live in Abuja, you can keep in touch with this group to improve IT penetration in the FCT. We need to bond and also explore new opportunities within the web tech arena. This group meets monthly to share ideas.

We need to grow the industry faster just as Lagos has done.

Being a very hectic day working on the nairawall.com default theme. I couldn't finish today, was less motivated today.

Will resume work by Monday. Really want to launch this site and move on to the next project. Got 10 personal google ads based projects to complete.

Trudigit seem to really mean business. The implementation of its WHMC is very professional, it took web4africa many years to implement theirs.

I choose my hosts based on how simple and professional they present their offer. Watch my words, Trudigits will be flooded shortly with clients and it be among the very highly ranked hosting companies in Nigeria.

@Dual Core,

Yeah, was wondering what features one can add to a wall technology for better user experience. A want to build a technology people can use and visit regularly. Will be adding my personal walls for jobs, news headlines, entertainment etc.

Got lot of time right now to write codes and I would rather build my personal projects and get 20k or 30k from each monthly from google ads rather than chase companies for web projects they hardly appreciates.

Just started coding my latest project. It is a weblog technology where people can create their own walls through a sub-domain. I am programming it from scratch. No Open Source.

I was shocked when I saw the news on CNN. The amount is quite small given level of technology and user base of skype.

My views on this deal is supported by Google offer of over $5billion for groupon.com. Groupon is nothing close to Skype in terms of market size and technology implementation.

I am about starting a venture capital company for Tech Startups. I am a little bit confuse on what form of registration I need.

Do I need to register with SEC or just CAC?

This is the current stats for yookos.com from Alexa

Average Load Time for Yookos.com
Very Slow (8.459 Seconds), 99% of sites are faster.

99% of websites on the internet is faster than Yookos.com, this is quite strange given the size of the website owner and pedigre

7 day 103,007 +34,888
1 month 61,736 +14,431
3 month 43,687 +2,090

The site traffic is drastically falling daily, meaning lot of people has stopped using the website most likely due to its load time or lack of mission driven contents.

My Opinion:
Nigerians need to understand that a web project should be treated like a normal company with proper staffing and daily contributions and assessment of progress. Yookos need a proper development team to steer it.

@slyr0x,

Got it very well now.

I didn't programmed the profile conditional block properly to handle invalid variables. I will make corrections immediately.
Thanks for pointing it out.

Cheers!

@slyrx0, don't get ur point posting a profile link without the ID number.

Traffic suddenly spiked due to the large number of articles I added. The site currently have over 1million articles making it one of the largest content websites in Nigeria. This was the reason while the bandwidth went off.

Within 1 week, Alexa 3months ranking left from over 2million to 165,000 with the daily ranking currently at less than 20k.

The spirit of benevolent is greatly lacking in our society hence the reason why our leaders can't even use public funds (our own funds) to help us.

If a man can use his own personal funds to contribute to society, then with public funds he will definitely do better.

I am not from Imo but I have always loved Okorocha approach to benevolence, that is affecting society where it matters most - education.

Take a sample of the total population of this forum, u will discover that less that 10% is willing to part with their hard earned to support a poor child's through school.

I just started a new inventory system which can be used to manage any product or service sales, marketing and branch network.

You can follow the development from www.delsoftghana.com

For newbies, it will help you understand how modular web applications are built. The project was started yesterday 30th.

The website domain name is too childish. Why use [size=14pt]paymugu [/size]when there are several positive names out there you can use.

The name alone will drive away more than 50% of your potential users.

I thi

ibrahimba:
would you like to work with someone on it.

If I get any serious partnership on this project I wouldn't mind.
I am still seriously working on this project - www.omavo.com. At the moment the traffic has spiked up and the 7days alexa ranking is now around 50k. I intend ranking at least around 3k before the end of May 2011.

Will start building the classified platform before 15th of May.

From the way ppl voted against pdp throughout the country April 26th, it clarified what really happened at the presidential elections. Pro Buhari supporters ar really disappointed on hw things turned out during the guber election. They taught PDP was going to sweep thru the South as it did at the presidential election.

It was a sad outcome to BB supporters.

@Kristonium, stop lamenting for Nigeria. There is no need for that. Every great democracy in the world went thru these same sequence before evolving into what they are today.

Our democracy is growing and it is just a toddler so don't expect too much from it right now. At least 2011 elections were far better than previous ones. Every outcome we will get or will get from election is a part of the evolution.

Uduaghan has got to leave this time! We can't continue with his antics any longer.

Great thread. Let's get it going. Delta state will be GREAT again. Great Deltans, Great Ogboru, Great leadership.

With more corpers killed and many evacuating the troubled northern states, INEC may run short of corpers staff to man polling units around the northern states.

Are there other alternatives right now by INEC?

Is it a free email service to the public just like YahooMail?

You can configure roundcube to work exactly like the yahoomail. It has themes and templates you can use. I have used it before.

I want to build a project like google trader to cover all major countries around Africa. I intend implimenting language support.

Do I allow for "no-login" can post a listing. I have been thinking of removing signup and login from the project to allow for quick and easy use. I intend using Recapthacha to reduce spamming.

What is ur advise?

Be careful with ur utterances. It is his insightful judgement of the current crisis so u should just keep ur mouth shut or say ur own opinion rather than coming here to castigate a man of God. Shame on you.

@Easyphp

When using SMS APIs, people don't need to leave your site, they are actually going to send the SMS broadcast from your website though the main business logic is controlled from the Gateway.

You control how the application responds to the user who is sending the SMS.

This is BIG and potent threat to our democracy and development. There is every justifications and need for everyone of us to cry out to the World urgently by creating the awareness and monitoring capacity to sabotage this Uduaghan evil votes "Uduaghan notorious rigging" from the 3 Warri and Bomadi,Burutu\,Patani federal constituencies.

Lets use this thread to share some great website/application ideas.

My submission:

One great web site idea that will be greatly hit is a mobile web portal for Nigeria. Nigeria is yet to have a true mobile portal. Lots of Nigerians use their phones a lot for accessing the internet. The number of internet connected mobile phones in Nigeria is way ahead of computer or laptops connections.

I personally spend more time on my BB than on my laptop because virtually everywhere I go my BB can easily access the internet to check up happenings around the country. I have been searching around for any web portal in Nigeria with good mobile pages.
