RomanceRe: Would You Marry A Man Or Woman With Tatoos? by ogzille(m): 8:13am On Nov 17, 2012
martyns303: for the fact that it is being delibrated on shows that its an issue. certain things in life are instinctive, you dont need someone to tell you if its wrong or not, Paul said, "doesnt nature itself tell you these things are wrong?". would i marry someone with a tattoo? yes! if i love her, but that wouldnt change my perception of irresponsibility, how would u explain this to our kids?
Correct, i love that!!!
RomanceRe: Would You Marry A Man Or Woman With Tatoos? by ogzille(m):
No, will not marry a girl with tattoos. Its a big turn off for me for the following reasons:

1. I find them nasty
2. Classy (being classy is not about money) girls do not do tattoos
3. It may be a mark of irresponsibility or waywardness
4. It may be a sign that the person is a follow-follow
5. It may be a sign the person enjoys cheap attention (like having it on her bo_.obs) which I detest
6. They look nasty at old age
7. They automatically disqualify you at times.
8. When found at a crime scene, the police will arrest the person with a tattoo first this is because 'petty bad guys' do tattoos more than good guys (don't like police wahala)
9. Will not want to have my kids do tattoos and do not want them to have a mother that may encourage them to.
10. Phew, romancing her and looking at the discolorations on her skin (Urghhh), i love touching, feeling and looking at clean, sweet skin!! grin

WebmastersRe: Lagbook Acquires Top-level Domain Name Naijabook [dot] Com For $10,000 USD by ogzille(m): 1:25pm On Nov 16, 2012
You are a very big liar! You cannot move ahead with lies... CHANGE! CHANGE!! STOP LYING angry

jakeadebayo: Ladies And Gentlemen book (LAGbook) yesterday acquired the top-level domain name Naijabook [dot] com for $10,000 USD from an undisclosed owner residing in the United Kingdom.

Yesterday, Africa's largest and fastest growing social networking website LAGbook acquired the top-level domain name Naijabook [dot] com from its owner who chooses to remain undisclosed. The domain name was purchased at $10,000 USD from its owner who resides in the United Kingdom.

"When LAGbook expanded to the Nigerian population three months after inception, we wanted to purchase the domain name Naijabook [dot] com and rename our social network, but at that time, we had little money to get it done. So we stuck with our name LAGbook, and rebranded to emphasise the capitalisation of the 'LAG', which means 'Ladies And Gentlemen'", says Chika Nwaogu, co-founder of LAGbook.

Chika continued, "Though we have purchased the domain name yesterday, we do not intend to change our name what-so-ever, and this is because of two reasons. One; we are no longer a Nigerian phenomenon; we are a global one with strong and rising international penetration especially in India, United States, Germany, Denmark, and the United Kingdom. Two; we have gotten appreciably popular with the name LAGbook, and we think it's going to be super uncool to change name now".

"Naijabook [dot] com is not the only domain name that takes our fancy. We hope to purchase in the nearest future domain names like Africabook [dot] com, Datebook [dot] com and Socialbook [dot] com", says Chidi Nwaogu, Co-CEO at LAGbook.

Chidi continued, "We do not intend to build sites on these domain names once purchased. Just like we did with Naijabook [dot] com, we intend to buy them, and forward them to LAGbook [dot] com; this means users visiting Naijabook [dot] com will be simply redirected to the LAGbook social network".

"Purchasing the Naijabook [dot] com domain for $10,000 USD is a great financial decision. When I was appointed LAGbook's Chief Financial Officer in August 2011, LAGbook was much of a Nigerian thing, and I was aware of the fact that Chidi and Chika wanted to purchase the domain name Naijabook [dot] com but were unable due to insufficient funds. Naijabook [dot] com is a top-level domain; a domain name many Nigerian-born social networks will die to have in their possession. So, I think it will do us a whole lot of good if this domain doesn't go into any other hands for a very long time", says Josh Osemwegie, CFO at LAGbook.

"Top-level domains already have a significant amount of traffic to them, so acquiring the domain name Naijabook [dot] com will top-up our publicity", says Nosa Ilegbinehi, Chief Publicity Officer at LAGbook.

In just 2 years, LAGbook has become Africa's largest and fastest growing social networking website with over 600,000 registered users and 6,000 daily new-signups.

WebmastersRe: Everything About Freelance Web Development Is Frustrating by ogzille(m): 12:05am On Nov 11, 2012
i cannot see anything creative in website designing as an idea per se (though you can be a creative website designer) which am yet to see on this board anyway.

Back to topic:

Web development is hot now globally as many more services are going SaaS. I really wonder why one will consider it frustrating! If clients suck, do your own projects. kapish!

Good things (including web apps and websites) cannot be hidden. People must see it, love it, contact you and that is more business (more cheddah) for you.

My advice: Learn, learn, learn, build and make sure you do not look for easy way out while building rather look for the best way.

Cheers

@Seun, nice one. Can the 60k advert credit be used to market other products/services?
Nairaland GeneralRe: Why Are Adverts On Nairaland Whack? by ogzille(op): 7:34am On Nov 03, 2012
Seun: This is annoying generalization because every advertiser is different. Some are willing to pay for good ads, others not. Sometimes designers are inconsistent. Every situation is different so you shouldn't generalize.
Those are questions which you can decide to provide answers to or skip; and cannot be classified as generalization.
Nairaland GeneralWhy Are Adverts On Nairaland Whack? by ogzille(op): 5:58pm On Nov 02, 2012
Since the introduction of Nairaland ads, I have noticed the poor quality ads being showcased on Nairaland! (design wise)

This is amazing as Seun has gone the extra mile to showcase some good advert designers here on Nairaland.

Is it that business owners cannot spare few thousands of naira to get good advert designs? or it does not really matter if the ad is well designed? or can't they reach good advert designers?

What is the problem?

WebmastersRe: Website Review by ogzille(m): 11:55am On Oct 25, 2012
Hello greenmouse, i think you have to improve your job quality really!

The graphics quality of the website is poor.

When you float an image, watch the impact on surrounding text.

Some of the pages are fixed height or having issues with float: http://atcglobalwide.com/service.html; hence some text are hidden.

I really have this personal beef with marquee...
ProgrammingProgrammers Suffer Ooooo! :) by ogzille(op): 10:35am On Oct 10, 2012
Saw this picture on 'Trust Me, Am an Engineer' facebook page

https://sphotos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/c0.0.381.381/p403x403/384254_506767842669333_1505618685_n.jpg

What do you really think? Do programmers really suffer most?

The other day was a pic on 'Programmers have no life'

Also there is a thread on nairaland: Have you seen a programmer that rides a Range Rover Sport (paraphrased)

What is really the problem?

ProgrammingRe: Tried To Hire A Programmer In Lagos Today He Told Me $100 A Day Or Forget by ogzille(m): 8:18pm On Sep 06, 2012
I wonder what the issue is with $100 per day. In a month, its $3,000 which is equivalent to: N472,476.

The question is what is wrong with an IT professional earning this much: N472, 476huh

Anyway, life is about options!
