Career / Re: Photos Of My Office And Why I May Resign To Pursue My Music Career by ramalot(m): 3:36pm On Mar 23, 2016
Honestly, I've never seen a more appropriate time to use the phrase:

"Keep your day job."

Dude, music isn't your thing. Also, music is not a job UNTIL it starts paying the bills.

On a more positive note, even some of the worst musicians make hit songs, so keep putting out those wack tracks and maybe one of them will blow and launch you into the game.

Until then, keep your damn day job.

I use tube mate app to download or watch YouTube videos.... Though it buffers unlike when I use the YouTube app to watch.


The major problem is data, before you see Nigerians downloading YouTube videos with high quality data ranging from 100mb above then, it's either they are using cheat or free WiFi...


Data is the problem we're having.

Alright, thanks for the info.

This is a perfect "literalization" of African religiousity.

Nothing but sheep!

The fact that all pastors - Oyedepo, Oyakhilome etc don't literally do this, does not mean it's not what's going on in their churches.

On BB it plays fairly well without buffering. Just more advisable to download on pc than mobile or android. Sometimes the downloads don't go through but data has been lost etc.


Alright, sounds good. Thanks.

Guy that's long ting. Just get a cracked IDM or better still search Ummy video downloader. These only work on desktop though. Users can still download YT vids directly on mobile devices for offline viewing but it doesn't save to the phone storage. PC is best experience.

Thanks. However, over 90% of the visitors to my site access it through mobile devices, so that's my primary focus.

How do you personally download to your mobile device for offline viewing?

*I understood & the method I explained is what I personally use to trace the actual youtube channel to watch there & use "Internet Download Manager(IDM)" to get them easily. Alternatively i can use "Download Accelerator Plus(DAP)"

*The widget you talk of is from www.savefrom.net when you place "ss" in front of the youtube link & install the browser extension from the site to download faster.

*Sometimes I watch a video directly on my bb native browser to get a sneak peek @the video.


Thanks for your feedback. From what you've said, I take it people generally have some form of download tool installed on their device.
However, they still have to track down the actual link in order to effect a download.

As far as direct playback/streaming, do you know if the internet speeds available to people allows for minimal buffering?
Like when you take a peek on your BB browser, does it generally play at a decent rate? Sorry for the multiple questions.

@RAMALOT: Just saw your thread. Generally whether it's a site built on blogger,wordpress or dreamweaver you can embed the youtube videos. Now in the case where you see a video & obviously want to trace the youtube channel after watching it to subscribe to it. Rightclick on the video & dialogue menu from youtube appears. You chose to "copy video url" amongst other options. After open new tab on your web browser, rightclick again then "paste & go". It gives you the actual video link youtube for you to bookmark or save as a text. Hope this answers your question best regards...


Thanks for your response. However, I don't think you got my question.

I own two sites which have predominantly embedded Youtube video content. In order to improve the user experience, I'm researching the different ways people in Nigeria watch/download Youtube videos they come across on such sites. Specifically how they download them.

For instance, I found out some people add "ss" to the start of the domain name. e.g "youtubedotcom/XXXX" becomes "ssyoutubedotcom/XXXX."

This redirects to a different site which delivers a direct download widget for that video.

In essence, I'm trying to better understand the methods of choice used by people in Nigeria, so I can make the site more user-friendly.

Politics / Re: #elrufaidestroyskaduna Trending On Twitter by ramalot(m): 10:45pm On Mar 07, 2016
Nigerians are the cause of their own problems.

All they want is chaos, disorder and anarchy so they can do whatever they feel like, without checks, balances and repercussion.

There is a mudafuckin city plan. If you choose to bribe someone, buy illegal land and erect illegal structures, then the outcomes are yours to deal with.

Nigerians constantly criticize its government for failing to maintain orderly cities like they see on TV in developed nations.
Well, dumbasses, our cities are organized because if you choose to start an adhoc market by the road, or build houses where you like, you will dance to the music.

I lived in Nigeria back when El-Rufai was the FCT minister and he got the same criticisms from proponents of city chaos.
It is nothing new, and it is irrelevant. All that matters is that land use laws MUST be followed.

These animals almost turned Abuja to the chaotic cesspool that characterizes most of Lagos. El-Rufai battled this and maintained sanity.

I have ZERO interest in the political leanings of anyone, or in the politics of Nigeria. Common sense is all anyone really needs.

Nigeria is becoming more of an impasse. Why parade a Yahoo boy when there are Fulani herdsmen wrecking havoc everywhere?

Terrible president who wasn't ready for governance in the first place.



#diehardPDP

This is a pretty silly reasoning (or lack thereof). That's like saying, "Why arrest rapists, when there are ritualists out there to arrest?"

One is not linked to the other, and each must be handled in isolation.

I have no interest in the mindless APC vs PDP war y'all like to have in Nigeria, but common sense shouldn't be applied by party affiliation.

Foreign investment is good, but it's honestly not what Nigeria needs.

Nigeria needs a vibrant local industry, especially for such shoes that can easily be filled by a Nigerian company. Remember, at the end of the day, foreign investors send their profit home.

I know people generally download videos on their cell phones because of slow connections.

However, my question is this. When you visit a site where a youtube video is embedded, how do you typically watch it if a download link, or the direct youtube link isn't provided?

I own a site that posts mostly videos without download links, and I'm trying to better understand how people in Nigeria generally experience/use such site content. In order for me to improve user experience.

In our quest for civilization we've only succeded in destroying the order of universal arrangement with our fallen nature and poor knowledge but the all seeing eye is great and will remain greater till the end of days.

Since the internet routes through satellites in space, which required such advanced scientific knowledge to execute, I recommend you log out. That way you're not contributing to "destroying the order."

That way, you can stay in the wilderness with your great all seeing eye till the end of days.

Like/share to say AMEN.

That's the reason you're here making this statement. Your mindset of "blessed" and "lucky" is what's holding you back.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING.

You either work hard and smart or you don't.

Except you win a fortune from a lottery, there is nothing like wealth by luck.
Even winning a lottery fortune requires an active move to obtain or buy the lottery ticket.

Our outcomes are based on our actions, and not those of others.
Until people own up to this fact and stop blaming everything but themselves for their condition, they will never uplift themselves.

The problem with science is, they want to have answers to everything and most times they are wrong...

something's can't be explained... simple

On the contrary, the problem with people like you is if the world was left to you, you'd probably be jumping from tree to tree.

Some things can't be explained, until they ARE. Ignoramus!
