Do you really need my candid experience/opinion?

When my partner and I started some 3years, what we did was
to divide the market place into sectors and developed strategies of
reaching out to all of them.

Strategy One: Divide the market place into sectors i.e.
1. Educational Sector with focus on Private Secondary Schools
2. Real Estate Sector
3. Oil and Gas
4. Small business firms - Expecially companies in plazas and corner shops
5. Hospitals
6. Hotels
7. Models, Actors/Actresses and Comedians
7. Identify more sectors that might need websites e.t.c

Strategy Two:
We bought the Abuja Yellow Pages Directory and made visits and phone calls.
So, get lay your hands on several business directories in your state and call or visit the companies.
You can set some new standard in your city or state.

Strategy Three:
Pricing: Determine how much you will be charging for domain name registration, hosting and
designing of the website based on the applications you want to use. You can request for price
from existing website designers so that you will know how to fix your own price.

Strategy Four:
Place adverts in your local newspapers, magazines, on Radio and TV. Print handbills and flyers and give
to your friends and family, Church and Mosque members, Business card. Your own personal website you can
send people to verify e.t.c.

Strategy Five:
The Bible says, seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before kings and not mean men.
You must be diligent in this business. There is no room for hit and run. Be committed to it and once people
know that you are consistent and committed to it, jobs will naturally roll in.
Be a man/woman of prayers. Sow a seed of free website designed for somebody or a company.

Strategy Six: Develop more plans not listed above.

It will amaze you the amount of money you can make in 2007 if you take some lessons from my experience
/opinion has highlighted above.

Remain blessed,

Olu Joseph in Abuja.

Hi Guys,

very very limited per state.

Kindly stop sending application as we have concluded our selections.

Let us keep praying for INEC so that the funds for the exercise will be released
and all logistics taken care of properly.

Hi Da Junta,

Of course, some Youth Corpers (Not all Corpers are computer technicians) will also be used

Hi everybody,

Did you watch 9:00p.m NTA news yesterday? The PDAs were displayed on TV by INEC. May be it will
be shown again today. I actually expect the Nigerian Press to talk about the equipment instead of
writing junks in their papers.

the team.

I am through with the following states: Lagos, Ogun, Oyo, Ondo, Osun, Kwara, Kogi, Edo, Delta,
Niger, Cross River, Nasarawa, Plataeu, Benue, and Kaduna states

Naijastar, i need competent IT/Technical guys up north. If you can just collate their names
and GSM and send to the email address given below.

Naijacutee, thanks for your encouragement. Keep the flag flying in Oyinbo Land.

I have already contacted some Nairalanders.

My main concern now is the logistics in the states but i am sure we will surmount it.

Let us all pray for the success of the voter's registration and then we can expect a good
election come 2007.

Keep faith guys.

Be warned Nigerians.

Webmasters in Nigeria should stay away permanently from 1and1 dot com.

I personally lost hundreds of dollars when they terminated my account
last year though i was able to transfer some of my domain names.

My friends at domainstandard.net were really unlucky. They have not been able to get
their domain names transfered. I recently asked domainstandard.net to authenticate
the transfer of a domain name they registered with 1and1 dot com for one of my clients
but up till now 1and1 has refused to do it.

If you don't want to have high blood pressure, you must stay away from 1and1 dot com

Mo ti so temi o (You have been warned).

It is really a pity that she has lost this domain name.

This brings to fore the ignorance of our people (Including webmasters).

There is a lot of money to be made in registering and selling domain names
on the Internet.

Let me ask you a question, Do you have your own domain name?

Guys, maybe this is an opportunity for you to start making money from all these
our politicians since they are all now interested in becoming president in 2007.

You can set apart some money and start buying domain names of popular politicians,
bankers, actors, actresses, e.t. and by the time they will be waking up from
their sleep, you will be selling the domain names at high prices to them .

Another loop hole in domain name buying and selling is that there is no law in Nigeria
that regulates or punishes anybody who register's another person's name

Can we then send a paper to the National Assembly on this issue. They are all still sleeping.

What do you think?

The domain name does not belong to her anymore.

It is being sold for $325,000 at https://www.buydomains.com/servlet/PrivateSale?page=contact&bd_order_id=7643076&key=yyxyfkQ8

Na wa o.

Omotola's Domain Name Sold For $325,000

Wao! Somebody is selling Omotola's domain name for $325,000 at
https://www.buydomains.com/servlet/PrivateSale?page=contact&bd_order_id=7643076&key=yyxyfkQ8

My wife's name is also Omotola and in December 2003, i wanted to get a website for her but when i did a domain search, i discovered that our actress Omotola had taken the .com so i proceeded to register the .net for my wife.

Just this morning, i wanted to check the latest info on our dear Omotola at her website www.omotola.com but was shocked to discover that she had lost the domain name to domain traders.

The questions that came to my mind were?

1. Did she refuse to pay the renewal fee for the domain name?
2. Didn't her webmater tell her the possibility of loosing the domain name to domain traders?

I can't believe it that our own omotola could have made a mistake of loosing her domain name.

This is a big lesson to all of us.

Your comments are welcome

Guys,

I woke up this morning to see a message in my phone saying that

"Congrats! You have won N50,000. Your number was among the lucky numbers in the Chevron/Texaco Bonanza with Ref. No ?. Call this ? to claim your prize"

I called the number stated and a guy confirmed to me that my Glo line number has won the N50,000 and i must collect the cash within 72hours.

Does anybody work in Glo, Chevron or Texaco and can confirm this for me before i proceed to Lagos?

Or has anyone of you guys won such a bonanza? Maybe you know someone who has.

I need the right info asap. If it is true, i will let all the nairalanders know about it.

Olu

I call my wife Mama, Mama T or just her name, Tola depending on the situation. She calls me Temi (My Own) at all times.

Our 5year old daugter has noticed this, so any time she wants to get something from me she calls me Temi and it makes me laugh when she does that - It means she understands the special attention the nickname draws). At some other times she calls my wife by her name Tola. We try to tell her to call us Mummy and Daddy but i guess its what she hears most of the time that she wants to call us expecially when we are all at home. I also noticed that she will only call us those names right in the house and never outside.

The Census process was okay in my area, Kubwa in Abuja.
Everybody in my family got counted.

Nigeria is 46
Arise salute the nation
Come join the celebration
The people united will never fall
The sun shines, the rains fall
On our land, vast and mighty,
Richly blessed by the Almighty
Like bees in the hides who work
so add to make honey the flows
Come join the celebration

Original lyrics was written by Bongo Zikwe in the 80s.

PEACE TO NIGERIA

I think what we need is more education and i am sure
many muslims are not aware of the position of Prophet Mohammed.

It is unislamic to kill Christians.

Read what a muslim professor said "Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him)
himself was recorded in history to have issued the instruction to the Muslim Army
before they set out on an expedition thus: "Do not deceive, do not disfigure, do not
kill children and those in churches." (L’elaa-us-Sunan vol. 12 page 31; Idaratul Qur’aan).
In the light of the above it should be clear that it is unIslamic to hide under the cloak of
religion to kill innocent people and destroy their property"

Haba Okewole, iwo omo yi o ni respect fun awon elders.

I am sure that Aremu Okikiola Mathew Obasanjo can recite the National Anthem or Pledge.

How many secondary and tertiary school leavers can recite the National Anthem? Do a random test in your area
and you will be shocked.

Otitoloju, i feel you.

I want to know who will give guided answers to Otitoloju's questions?
