TV/Movies / Re: 80% Of Nollywood Films Are Wack by kpomkwem(m): 3:37pm On Sep 12, 2007
It's amazing how easily we all point our fingers at Nollywood movies and criticize them by calling them wack, and so on. I have a few questions,
How many of us have EVER made a movie that was not wack? How many of us have ever contacted a Naija movie maker and offered suggestions on how to make their movies not wack? Does your definition of wack mean non-hollywood-like?

I do agree, however, that we (Nollywood) should improve our movies with better quality (both video and audio), original storylines, innovative concepts, raw accents (as opposed to fake accents) and stop trying to imitate Hollywood. I've seen lots of Nollywood movies that make you wonder whether the movies were ever reviewed before releasing them (poor sound quality, with background music louder than the actors' voices, etc).

All I'm saying that criticizing them nollywood movies would not make them any less wack wink .

Why don't we list what we hate about Naija movies, and how they can be improved upon. Some things I wish they would improve include,
[list]
[li]Stop using fake accents (nothing wrong with hard-core Naija accents)[/li]
[li]Stop making movies in multiple parts except where absolutely necessary (waste of money, if you ask me)[/li]
[li]Improve sound quality (background music should never be louder than actors' talking) [/li]
[li]Diversify the storyline (how about a Naija sci-fi movie? )[/li]
[/list]

Let's all contribute to making nollywood non-wack. Any ideas?
Technology Market / Re: Ipod Needed. by kpomkwem(m): 5:24pm On Sep 10, 2007
You can get it from http://store.apple.com or buy a used one on eBay.

If you have money, you should get an unlocked iPhone.
Sports / Re: Fifa Under 17 Competition In South Korea by kpomkwem(m): 3:20pm On Sep 10, 2007
Do you think Naija go win 2 golds next year - one for Ghana 2008 and one for Olympics?
I pray we do o!  cool
That go be Naija's greatest feat in years!
Sports / Re: Fifa Under 17 Competition In South Korea by kpomkwem(m): 2:21pm On Sep 10, 2007
About time we heard good news from Naija for a change!

Congrats O! Naija don do well well o! Dat's the kind of raw talent that Naija's known for!
Reminds me of the super eagles that won gold in the 1996 Olympics! That, to me, was Naija's best soccer team EVER! Do you think we can repeat that feat?
Romance / For The Ladies: What Cologne(s) Do You Like On A Man by kpomkwem(m): 5:30am On Sep 05, 2007
Ladies, what cologne do you like a man to wear? Which one shouldn't he wear?
Computers / Re: Pentium Iii: Good For Internet? by kpomkwem(m): 7:38pm On Aug 17, 2007
Yes I forgot that Firefox is a memory hog indeed. I'd still rather use firefox on a slow PC and block all those banner ads, than use Internet Explorer and endure all those flashy, annoying banners.
Actually, I believe that increasing the RAM only makes the browser load (and shut down) faster, but doesn't improve the actual internet speed.
Computers / Re: Pentium Iii: Good For Internet? by kpomkwem(m): 5:11pm On Aug 17, 2007
The RAM upgrade does not really affect the browsing speed as much as the speed of your internet's ISP. The RAM upgrade only boosts the performance of programs on your computer (like MS Word, Outlook, etc), including how fast they launch, and so on.
One way your browsing can be slow is when you visit websites that include a lot of advertising banners and/or popup ads. To avoid all that, and enjoy faster browsing, download Firefox from www.mozilla.org, which gives you the option to block popups. You can then install an extension called "AdBlock Plus" which blocks most banners and such, so that webpages load faster.
Hope this helps.
Computers / Re: Free Antivirus by kpomkwem(m): 2:19am On Aug 14, 2007
Definitely go with AVG. You can get it from http://free.grisoft.com/
Computers / Favourite Firefox Extensions by kpomkwem(m): 7:52pm On Aug 03, 2007
For all you firefox users, what is your favourite extension(s)? Which extension(s) can you not live without?
My favourites are Adblock and Mouse Gestures!
Computers / Re: hi by kpomkwem(m): 7:44pm On Aug 03, 2007
If you're talking about the site linked on your profile, it sure needs a lot of work. For instance, what is its purpose? The 'flash' on the homepage wasn't showing, so I just pressed "Skip" to proceed.
I can't say much about it because I don't know what its purpose is.
Nairaland / General / Re: APPLICATIONS/SOFTWARE by kpomkwem(m): 7:10pm On Aug 01, 2007
Free office suites (for those that can't afford Microsoft office):
- OpenOffice www.openoffice.org
- AbiWord www.abisource.com
- Google Docs (web based word processor and spreadsheet) http://docs.google.com

3D map of the world
- Google earth (free) http://earth.google.com
Computers / Re: About To Try Mac; Mac Users, - Are We Safe? by kpomkwem(m): 2:57pm On Jul 24, 2007
Definitely get a mac laptop if you can, especially since you can now install Windows on it, so you have the best of both worlds.
I've been using a mac laptop (ibook) since 2005 and I like it. Never gave me any serious problems. I plan to replace it with the intel-based mac laptop when the new version of OSX comes out in October, so I can add Vista alongside it.

Anyway, I'd recommend you get the macbook and try it out.
Jokes Etc / Re: Check Out The Most Annoying Website by kpomkwem(m): 2:45pm On Jul 24, 2007
To enjoy the page without all that popup, just turn off Javascript on your browser. You can do that in Internet Explorer via "Tools -> Internet Options", or in Firefox via "Tools -> Options -> Content".
Computers / Re: How Tough Is It To Write A Computer Programme? by kpomkwem(m): 3:14pm On Jul 20, 2007
It depends on the type of programme you want to write, and how much time & money you're willing to invest.
Choosing the type & purpose of the programme to write will then guide you as to what programming language (Visual Basic, C++, Java, etc) you wish to use, and whether it is better to build a web-based version or a client side version.

Can you be more specific as to what programme you want to write and why?
Webmasters / Re: Cost Of Building A Website For A Record Label by kpomkwem(m): 8:46pm On Jul 16, 2007
As far as I know, that host is very good, and very reliable.
Check out the sites they've built (including Jim Nwobodo's site) www.cnenigeria.com/websites/sites.htm
Autos / Re: Btw Honda Crv &toyota Camry 2000 Model by kpomkwem(m): 7:35pm On Jul 16, 2007
Definitely go for the camry. It's more fuel-efficient and newer, so should last longer. The CRV has bad gas-mileage and may be more expensive to fix.
Webmasters / Re: Cost Of Building A Website For A Record Label by kpomkwem(m): 7:25pm On Jul 16, 2007
You can have your site developed by CNENigeria.com, an ecommerce company based in Abuja that specializes in building professional websites for major companies, and they're fairly price-competitive. They've build cool-looking, flash sites as well.

Check them out at www.cnenigeria.com/websites/

Hope this helps.
Autos / Re: Is This The Best Thing On 4 Legs? by kpomkwem(m): 7:28pm On Jul 09, 2007
My favourite is the BMW 7 series!
I also like the Mercedes Benz CLK series!

By the way, the ugliest car ever built is the Pontiac Aztec.
TV/Movies / Re: Transformers! by kpomkwem(m): 2:24am On Jul 09, 2007
No doubt it was fantastic.
The special effects were something else. Of course it's the #1 movie in the box office!
And it's suitable for (almost) people of all ages: the chics are attracted to Tyrese, the guys are attracted to the cars (and that sexy chic)!
Phones / Did You Get The Iphone? by kpomkwem(m): 7:06pm On Jul 06, 2007
Now that the iPhone is out and the dust is settling, did you get one?
If not, do you plan to get one soon? If you got one, what's your experience with it so far? Is it worth the hype?

Computers / What You Hate Most About Windows. by kpomkwem(m): 3:19pm On Jun 27, 2007
What do you hate most about Windows? What annoys you the most about your overall computing experience?
One of mine is being nagged every 10mins to restart Windows after installing an update - even if I'm in the middle of something critical.
Computers / Re: Hp Laptop And Dell:which One Is Better by kpomkwem(m): 3:17pm On Jun 27, 2007
I'll have to go with Dell. Every HP laptop owner I know has had problems with it. Not so with Dell owners.
Definitely go with Dell!
(if your pocket is deep enough, get an Apple laptop, like Macbook or Macbook Pro!)
Autos / What's Your Favourite Car? by kpomkwem(m): 5:08pm On Jun 26, 2007
What's your favourite car? What's your least favourite car? What's the ugliest car you've ever seen?
