lets face it. Nairalist is not a big deal. Even Nairaland. Its just because of our young startup scene in Naija that all these noise is being made about a classifieds site. you win some you loose some. Nairaland is working. Nairalist isn't. simple!!!

@kobojunkie, cant you make an intelligent argument without sounding uncouth and uncivilized?, its not compulsory to comment you know, besides why are you always arguing and posting? is there an award for the highest number of posts? or are you out of work?, #justsaying

Anyway , cheers man

How old are you? #justasking

k. if i have the time i will send a review by mail. as for my work?

www.cnn.com www.teemdental.org

he prolly read the article "Mark Zuckerberg" the kid who turned down a billion dollars, the thing is his browser translated the article into an ancient indian language called sanskrit. Hence he did not get the memo of why he turned it down

@clem. i really would love to help. but i cant. i have taken too much bashing in NL. most times ppl ask for a review, all they want is praise, when you attack. defenses go up and insults flow from the mountain tops, usually ending with can i see your own website? no hard feelings.

@clem, he may be laffing at the designs #justsaying

@ace1 one. you sir has proven to be the only caucus parliamentarian that has been able to decipher the malicious capitalistic intent of the poster to aid the impish capitalist tendencies of Google Inc to send the Nigerian development market into a state of nilly willy, imperious cacophony and general brouhaha

Kunturus gbentus!!

Chai!! opilolopilolo

Omalokun. Goddess of the sky rivers. save my brethen from malicious poverty,

this google sef an their net imperialism. i used to be a great fan, until they started throwing small grains of sand inside my garri

i dont know why stupid ppl try to pass themselves off as intelligent. fine. we know you are based abroad and you have money. what else do you want to inform us?

OK. we have pretended to be civilised. the police wont do poo. The girl should forward the names and info to social media websites.[size=18pt] It's TIME FOR JUNGLE JUSTICE[/size] abi petrol don finish ni?

surprisingly i know visio so naija done dey catch up to wireframing? i am quite impressed,  i tot it was just, open dreamweaver first. then fireworks, then hosting. lol. but then. what do i know?

@kobojunkie. why are you always so bitter? u don't have to explain. but if u feel so inclined, try and pretend that you are civilised and do so without insults. Thank You.

@omni.


i feel your pain sha. i have met those kinda clients. trust me. na warri i dey hustle of all places. but na for the same warri i dey get blue chip clients that if you do a very good job for them go market u give their millionaire friends and the best part? no pricing. dem don know how the price be

alternatively broaden your scope. nor be only web design we do die put. i don dey into SEO, Google adwords and facebook consultancy, custom google apps email services. etc. so even if you go pitch and the company say dem get website. i bet you dem nor get all those services above

in addition, nor vex for 50k or 20k jobs. just get a plethora of cheap developers as your friends, e get one guy when dey advertiste for facebook say 10k for website. contact the guy. if you see 20k job. put 10k for pocket while blowing your roasted groudnut in your left hand and dancing galala.

Finally, for the main time find other hustle or job to support your self so you go fit dey pick and choose clients. cos if hunger whine you belle ehn. u go do dose jobs o. hunger nor wan hear professionalism or UI specialist. that one serious opilolo


finally, if you have to accept a crappy job to survive. Then do a crappy job. no need to waste your time on it. and make sure not to put your website link on the client website.

Aproko: Ask dual core how im dey do am. lol. i dey try recruit am but the dude nor get time, means too much project and too much money

hmm, so many badt guys in the house, well, what can i do?

i got it. i will be the chief beafer of the website

will come in post launch and tell you everything that is not cool about it. i guess yawatide don get this job already,

but i go still join beaf

well i think the only different thing from all the above i will like to do

1) Optimizing the website for speed gzipping, caching. etc
2) Post launch check list for everything ranging from absence of favicon, misspelling, wrong capitalisation, etc
3) .htaccess consultancy

@Omni,

it depends on your presentation. really it does. you do be surprised how much my going rate per project is. CMS or no CMS, but i usually do custom solutions because funny enough its easier for me to bend to my will, especially the design part. I just shipped a video presentation done with camstasia and adobe captivate. Guy. u sef. after seeing the whole packaging and branding, u nor go dey price anyhow. well, it depends on the clients too sha

On another side note, pricing yourself low may just scare away clients. there was this project i wanted to outsource. so i asked the potential provider how much. the price he gave me was too damn low, i don already get budget framework on mind based on asking around the industry, off course i ran,


imagine this scenario,

Man goes to London for business. he sees his business partner's website and im ask price. dem tell am 1500Pounds. The guy lands naija then decide to execute that project urgently. The guy calls hungry developer and shows him the kind of website he wants, hungry developer says he will do it plus 5 years hosting for 50k , they guy still dey stare at the email in utter shock and disbelief. Hungry developer look time, look inbox, look time look inbox.

*in Yoruba accent* ahh, omoh , e be like say i too charge that guy. The guy come send anoda email say im dey do bonanza. 50% discount,

wetin u think say the client go do?

PS: No disrespect to my yoruba brethen

@jarus and okija. u guys seem to be missing the point. i wonder how u guys respond to the questions in exams?. or hopefully u guys are not students. nobody is beefing rich kids in my post. read it again. there is nothing bad in connection. in jand and yankee. it is called networking.

I get most of my major contracts from connection, oops. networking

i am just saying this whole bloody thread is unrealistic from the matters on ground especially to all those saying 18 and NYSC. Pull your heads from the clouds and look around the country, hell naw, look just down the streets, at what age do people graduate sef,

this thread would have been more fitting for an American forum.

I will keep praying for your comprehension and Verbal reasoning skills

with the exception of those in the Diaspora, big men children that had the job on a platter of Gold and those that got lucky to be retained after NYSC, i think the rest of you are bloody liars,

nor be the same naija we dey? haba. abi d state i dey na under achieving state. in my street alone i cant count how many thirty something year old still dey dia papa house. some even marry sef put. i wont go judgemental on them cos i know say naija hard, no job.

i sure say if post come out say any nigerian that as never involved in corruption should identify themselves. everybody for nairaland go post. and for some ladies, moving into your aristo provided loft doesn't count, well, it kinda counts, i bet it requires superb acting skills. naija ppl sha, 

anoda of my heroes gone. so sad. well, man mus wack. innit?

lol. matters arising. i dont believe u are actually remorseful

na wa. which party be that one sef

this wicked witch dey cast stone too? lol

this FG sef,

thanks. would look into that

@hotsleek. the naira card actually works on google adwords. u just have to keep trying lilke a hundred times. so, ?
