Making it a blog is best, because it can easily grow with you efforts and by writing articles that satisfies audience queries / solve their quest for knowledge on tech stuff.

If you make it a forum, you will need have to get users, sensible ones that can contribute to the topics, it takes time for it to grow.

You can easily grow in users and traffic in months by using a blog .

Thanks so much webzyweb.

Making it a forum requires visitors steadily..And Nigerians will hardly take the time to review a product so far they aint gaining anything in return. I'll advise you make it a blog and take the pain to do it yourself.

thank you so much Babakay, opinion noted.

Good day nairalanders. So, I have decied to set up a technology review website and am torn between making it a forum and making it a blog like gadgetreview.com or theverge.com. The review forum is set up to allow registered users review and comment on gadgets themselves with their first hand usage and observations giving each review a precise description of the product, as for the blog as we all know I will have to do the reviews myself whether I have used the product or not. I find that the blog type is very common but I have never come accross the forum type. I will so much appreciate your opinion, thanks in advance.

Blacks were selling each other into slavery and you call that civilization? what about the inter-tribal wars that were raging on? Whether you accept that fact or not we were a semi-primitive people. And who says there is no morality in the modern day? ever heard of ethics as a branch of philosophy? Or is it the Patriarchal practices and misogynistic tendencies?

Mr. Man, I guess you didnt even know that blacks were not the only people selling themselves out, Europeans did, the Arabs also did. By the way, you claim we were primitive but what's your proof. Its probably gotten from reading one sided subjective history books written by bourgeiose Europeans. Read about true African history and stop flaunting your ignorance.

VickyRotex:
Seriously? And those women were comfortable that way?

Thanks to Civilization

Helo Mr. Vicky. I would like to know what you mean by "thanks to civilization". Thanks in advance :-)

Dathommie:

both bro.

Whenever I check on nairaland or any other websites I am welcomed by this so called 'trekking trend' issue, Is this another way of proving to the world how jobless we have become or are we doing it just
for the fun of doing it?

12. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for being single.
It doesn’t matter if you’re single by design or by accident – you’re single! Chances are, you’re pretty happy with it too. You might get pressured to go find a partner and get married, but you march to the beat of your own drum.
13. You don’t owe anyone a date just because they asked.
This is such an important thing to
remember. You don’t have to say yes just because someone asked you to go out with them!
14. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your decision about marriage.
Want to get married at 18? Don’t ever want to get married? As long as you’re an adult making decisions of your own accord, your
decision about marriage is yours alone.
15. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your relationship choices.
Did you forgive a cheater? Did you get back together with your ex? Did you say no to a marriage proposal? These decisions were
made by you for your own set of reasons, and you don’t owe anyone an explanation for that.

6. You don’t owe anyone a yes to everything they say.
I know it can be hard to say no to the hard ask, but just know that you don’t have to say yes to everything everyone asks of you.
Know your limits and what you’re willing to do for others.
7. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your physical appearance.
If you’ve lost weight, gained weight, changed your hair, grown a beard, or done anything with your physical appearance, you don’t owe anyone an explanation for it. You’re just doing you. They can deal with pink hair.
8. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your food preferences.
We all like different types of food. If someone tries to judge you over it, don’t engage. You don’t have to explain what kind of food you like to eat. You just eat what you want to.
9. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your sex life.
Whether your sex life doesn’t exist or does with another consenting adult, it’s no one’s
business but your own. People will try to judge you for who you sleep with or what your sexuality is, but what they think generally doesn’t matter.
10. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your career or personal life choices.
When it comes to the direction you’re going in life, you don’t owe anyone an explanation for your career or the direction you’ve opted to go. Just go for it! The
people who truly care for you will back you up.
11. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your religious or political views.
Whether you are a Democrat, Republican, Catholic, Protestant or Muslim, it’s your choice and you don’t owe anyone an explanation for it. If someone wants to have a fun, candid discussion with you and you also want that, have at it! A good debate or exchange of Ideas is a lot of fun. ;-)

I know how much social pressure there is to conduct yourself a certain way. Some people they know what’s best for you and the whole world. But remember…

1. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your living situation.
It doesn’t matter what kind of living situation you’re in, whether you have housemates, live alone, live unmarried with a partner, or live with your ex still. You don’t need to explain to anyone why you live the way that you do.

2. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for your life priorities.
Want to open a business? Become a pastor at your church? Sell all your belongings and backpack through India? Go for it! And
remember, you don’t have to explain your priorities to anyone. They are yours, and you don’t have to try to impress people
with them.
3. You don’t owe anyone an apology if you are not sorry.
If you’ve done something that someone else doesn’t like but that you don’t regret, you don’t owe them an apology. An apology is to try to rectify a mistake and the
impact it’s had on others.
4. You don’t owe anyone an explanation for requiring alone time.
If you need alone time, you’re not being rude, introverted, or unfriendly. You just need time alone. You don’t have to explain
your need for that. Just enjoy that precious time alone.
5. You don’t owe anyone your agreement on their personal beliefs.
When people share their personal beliefs with you, it’s often a sign of trust that should be cherished. It’s a window into their souls and the way they think. But just
because someone has shared their
personal beliefs with you doesn’t mean you have to nod in agreement.

Contrary to the believe of Muslims all over the world, the word Islam means peace. This conclusion can be reached by first getting the root of the word which is 'salam' meaning peace. But then is salam really the root word for Islam? Lets analyse this, we should realise that the true origin of the word Islam is "Aslam" which means to submit which means islam means SUBMISSION to God Alone and this is based on the following verses:


"He has legislated for you of the religion what He has instructed for Noah and what We inspired to you and what we instructed for Abraham, Moses, and Jesus: "You shall establish the religion and be not divided therein." 42:13


"Abraham was neither a Jew, nor a Christian; but he was a monotheist submitter. He was not one of the Mushrikeen (those who set up partners with God)." 3:67


Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is ISLAM. And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.(3:19)


Now dealing with Quran 3 verse 19 lets assume Islam=peace and see what happens:


Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is (Peace). And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.(3:19)


Reading the above verse one may come to the conclusion that what this verse is saying is that anybody who is "peaceful" is accepted by God regardless of whether he is a Polytheist but does it make any sense? of course not. If we were to accept this it means it contradicts with the Quranic verse:


"Say, "My Salat, my worship practises, my life and my death, are all devoted to God, the Lord of the worlds." 6:162



Now lets deal with the other meaning of Islam=submission:


Indeed, the religion in the sight of Allah is (Submission). And those who were given the Scripture did not differ except after knowledge had come to them - out of jealous animosity between themselves. And whoever disbelieves in the verses of Allah, then indeed, Allah is swift in [taking] account.(3:19)

We can see how it fits perfectly into the context of the Quranic verse.

The principal command from God in all Scripture is to worship God alone devoting all the religion to Him and rejecting all other gods:


Old Testament:
"You shall have no other gods besides Me" (Exodus 20:3)


New Testament:
"You shall worship the Lord your God. and Him only you shall serve"
(Luke 4:


The Quran:
"You shall know that: "There is no other god beside God" 47:19

Submission to God is the religion whereby we recognise God's absolute authority, and reach an unshakable conviction that God
alone possesses all power; no other entity possesses any power that is independent of Him. The natural result of such a realisation is to devote our lives and our
worship absolutely to God alone.
