And d good part is, premium com.ng are available. I just bought few.

What most people don't understand is that every Nigerian hosting company is a reseller for a foreign company, there is no data center in Nigeria.

What you should be looking for is good uptime and great support.

What many are looking for is a hosting service + domain of N2500/year and u expect to get an extraordinary service. It doesn't work that way even with d foreign hosting companies.

I worked with a foreign hosting company for close to 5 years and I know how this things work.

For good uptime and great support, Check www.ss6.net.

Thanks a lot.. I will go with a Nigerian hosting company...still researching on the best one I can use ... Will check your list

You can check www.ss6.net, not as cheap as smart Web but very reliable. And our support is ever ready nd experienced.

Waiting for that moment .NG becomes N2500, I surely have 10 on my wishlist to be purchased. Though I still have .com.ng for some of them, but just .NG would be far better.

A Great American Muslim

Without a doubt, Malcolm X is the most influential American-Muslim to have ever lived. His life and legacy have been an inspiration to thousands, if not millions, of people. Malcolm X represents not only a true American story, but a true Muslim American story.

You may have seen Spike Lee’s movie Malcolm X which is based on his autobiography. The autobiography was co-authored by Alex Haley who also wrote the story Roots. But if you read The Autobiography of Malcolm X, you can see the development of a leader and a man who is willing to die for what he believes.

Malcolm X was born Malcolm Little in Omaha, Nebraska in 1925. He was the fourth of seven children. His father was a preacher who spoke out against the injustices committed against African-Americans. At this time, racial segregation and discrimination were legal in many parts of the United States.

His father was killed by white racists when Malcolm was still a child. His mother eventually went insane with the strain of raising seven children. The children were put into foster care, and from there Malcolm soon wound up a street hoodlum.

Like many African-American teenagers at the time, he eventually became involved in crime. Alcohol were rampant in black neighborhoods, and Malcolm became involved in them all.

Malcolm Little started out as a small time criminal. He sold reefers (marijuana cigarettes) and shined shoes to make money. But eventually he graduated to more serious crimes. By his early twenties, Malcolm was selling (and using) cocaine and was a professional burglar.

This life of crime almost got him killed by another criminal. As it turned out, Malcolm was arrested for burglary and sentenced to eight years
in prison.
A New Life

At first, he was very resentful about being imprisoned and hated everything around him. He was so full of hate, he was known as Satan by the other prisoners.

One day a fellow prisoner introduced him to a new way of life. This way of life would require him to leave pork, alcohol, and smoking behind. Malcolm would have to relearn everything he’d beent taught his entire life. And he would have to accept that a man in Detroit named Elijah Muhammad was a prophet of Allah.

Malcolm was intrigued by this new religion and the organization propogating it known as The Nation of Islam. While still in prison, Malcolm Little joined the Nation of Islam (known simply as “The Nation”) and changed his name to Malcolm X. The X was to represent his true family name that was lost during slavery and the African diaspora.
The Nation

The Nation taught a radical new belief. At this time in American history, blacks were treated as an inferior race to whites. Everything from the education system to the justice system to the political system indicated that blacks were a lesser creation.

For example:

There were far more blacks in prison than whites.
Very little was taught about African history in the schools. But every child learned about the Romans and the Founding Fathers.
Blacks were not allowed to vote throughout most of the country, despite the 15th Ammendment to the Constitution.
Blacks were legally segregated throughout much of the United States, despite the 14th Ammendment to the Constitution.
Crimes against blacks by whites were rarely punished, whereas crimes by blacks against whites, and blacks against blacks were punished to the fullest (and often even further) extent of the law.

These laws and practices created an atmosphere where most Americans (black and white) actually believed that blacks were inferior to whites.

However, the Nation of Islam taught something totally different.

The Nation of Islam taught:

Not only were blacks equal to whites, they were actually superior.
White people had hidden and distorted African history in order to keep blacks ignorant of their glorious past.
Jesus was not white as most Christians taught and believed, but instead he was actually a black man.
God’s chosen people were the Lost-Found Negros of America and He would lead them to victory over the white man.
The white man was actually the Devil.

While these beliefs may seem radical to us now, Malcolm X and thousands of other African-Americans embraced them. They called themselves Muslims and
believed their leader, Elijah Muhammad, was the prophet of Allah.

The Nation of Islam did more than teach radical beliefs. The Nation took people who were considered the outcasts of society and remade them. People who were drug addicts, alcoholics, burglars, and prostitutes became upstanding citizens. This was primarily due to The Nation’s strict code of conduct.

For example:

Muslims could not smoke, drink alcohol, use drugs, or eat pork.
Muslims should strive to own their own businesses and not depend on white people for anything.
Muslims could not have sexual relations outside of marriage.
Muslims had to learn self-defense and practiced marching drills.

I dont think nairaland is the first to use that design...... its a theme you re free to use.

Yahoo uses media.net owned by them and not adsense. Media.net uses Google adchoices.

Nice achievement. I think nairaland needs to be creative too to achieve more. The biggest forum in Africa has been static for years without any Form of innovations.

What? Is this for real? This is pure scam or maybe not. What's certain here is that an seo company is looking for a client or a scammer is looking for a prey.

I have over 40 personal domains (active or packed) and have received this same mail you got not on one occasion.

My ten kobo advice for you is to ignore the mail. If they r interested in your domains, they'll contact you in a more professional manner.

Don't fall prey to this cheap scam!

Was doing some casual browsing when I decided to check on the website of our red and green chambers - www.nass.gov.ng

I must confess that it looks better than it did over the last 8 years. Then I did what I like to do best - view the source to see the code. I didn't see the usual "wp" references that are typical of MANY Nigerian-based websites in general.

Question:
1) Does anyone know who implemented this site?
2) Are they using a CMS? If so, which?

Note:
I am not bashing the use of WP but our tendency to abuse it. Obviously for a site such as NASS, I would expect changes to be made pretty frequently. Any CMS therefore makes perfect sense as those updating the site won't necessarily have the coding know-how.

Its possible its on wordpress but the developer hid it well. The site is using a theme/plugin from ThemePunch according to http://builtwith.com/nass.gov.ng

Thank you

You re welcome.

If url is so hard to drop, den d story is just harder to believe.

WordPress is the most popular Content Management System (CMS) out there, an open source CMS based on PHP and Mysql. It is very popular due to it’s flexibility and easy to use, it has numerous themes and plugins both free and premium, but as we enjoy this great CMS, we should be also wary of the threats our websites could encounter through attacks of various types.

Recently, it has been reported that current versions of WordPress are vulnerable to a stored XSS. Cross-site Scripting or XSS is a type of attack using malicious scripts that are injected in to web pages. This security vulnerability accounts for typically 87% of all security vulnerabilities and the malicious contents can be delivered in a number of ways.

In reflected cross-site scripting (XSS), the attacker can trick you into clicking a malicious link. The attacker injects browser executable code within a single HTTP response. It means that the injected attack is not stored within the application itself. Reflected XSS is also sometimes referred to as Non-Persistent.

In stored Cross-site Scripting (XSS) malicious contents are stored permanently on the target servers such as database, comment field, message forum etc. So the malicious script is retrieved when the stored information is requested from the server. Stored XSS is also referred to as Persistent XSS.

How to test if a site is Vulnerable to XSS?

Testing the XSS vulnerability of a website is quite easy. We can test it by modifying a current parameter that is sent in the HTTP GET request. For example, first use the following example in the browser to print a welcome page for a person John:

http://domain.com/index.html?name=john

This URL is modified to add an extra parameter as shown below:

http://domain.com/index.html?name=<script>alert (‘You just found a XSS vulnerability’)</script>

If the parameter name is not even validating and returning the page as ‘You just found an XSS vulnerability’, then the site is vulnerable to XSS. There are various methods to test XSS vulnerability and this is only one among the few known methods.

WordPress Vulnerability

Vulnerability to a stored XSS was recently announced in WordPress. Due to this vulnerability, any unauthorised attacker can inject JavaScript in WordPress comments. When triggered by a logged in admin, the attacker can execute any arbitrary code on the server via the plugin and theme editors under default settings. The comment inserted has to be longer than 64 kilobytes. The comment text will be truncated when inserted in the database. The exploits need to get around comment moderation, that is, by posting one harmless comment first before injecting the Javascript. The attacker can change the administrator’s password, create new administrator accounts, or can have the entire administrator access on the target system.

It is therefore advisable to upgrade your wordpress version to the latest version. You can download the latest version here.
