I can't remember films name, could someone please recommend her couple of Nigeria films to watch. Like we have Hollywood and project in the USA so we also have Nollywood and project. I was fortunate I grew up in a Mansion and duplex, I visit the village once a year during the Xmas and other important occasion. My dad, we lived in the Northern Nigeria though I am Igbo. I rarely know much of Igbo culture. |
When I said palace I did not actually meant everyone should have a palalce it is optional. But kings and queens must have a palace. Definition of a palace, the governing group of a kingdom; "the palace issued an order binding on all subjects" Reference ============= 1, http://www.google.co.uk/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=deskbar&q=define%3A+Palace |
Answer 15 to 16 Diaspora means A term for mass migration, used particularly in post-colonial studies to denote the scattering of peoples away from their homelands under pressures such as colonization or slavery. Like some cultures of Nigeria you do not understand is a treat to you, isn't it? |
As for alien visiting earth, no there are no aliens. If aliens visited earth believe me it would not be a secret, it would be an intense moment for mind kind. For them to have travelled beyond space-time to come and visit means that they are very very intelligent than us. With there intelligence it would only be too dumb to let American capture them. I prefer life forms to aliens. I believe there are other life forms out there in our universe, just that they are as dumb as us to make that time travel. One day with the infinite God knowledge embedded in us we will discover how to beat time and space. |
American became paranoid as Russia could invade them on day. The started what was know as Cold War (War with bullet and guns), a war that was purely base on gathering intelligence. correction American became paranoid as Russia could invade them on day.

CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) was formed by America after the crush of slavery. American has always want a way to control people particularly to form empires. This organisation common objective is to protect American government from foreign invader. After the second war Russia was regarded as the most powerful nation on earth with their intelligent organisation KGB. The first people to rocket into space and man first human. American became paranoid as Russia could invade them on day. The started what was know as Cold War (War without bullet and guns), a war that was purely base on gathering intelligence. Russians had sophisticated technology to monitor Americans, the satellite but then America did not have satellite in the orbit. Hence they resorted to using plans as a reconnaissance to gather information from the Soviet Union. Many planes were built; the whole secret of the war was to deceive the other that they have more power in case of war. America believed that Russia has Nuclear weapon by natural exhibition of their nuclear arsenal. As this paranoia grew, America began a tactical strategy to fool Russia there weren’t using plan as their reconnaissance. And people have been complaining about sitting a strange plans and spaceship. This was perfect for Americans to used it to fool Russians and hence introduced alien visiting earth as a divergence to the cold war that extra terrestrial was visiting earth and was giving Americans technologies to fight the cold war. Anyway, America did win the cold war and Americans crushed Soviet Union. They intimated the whole world by claming that they went to moon, which we all know today that it was false. American can go to moon today, yes but not in 1960’s. They lack the technologies and intelligence then. I believe in our universe and time continual we are not the only intelligent life form. It would be a waste of space. To visit other stars will take billions and billions of millennia. At present the knowledge to travel beyond light speed is emerging but we humans cannot travel at the speed we would easy be crushed in the process of acceleration. What the scientist are thinking is to create a spaceship like our star and travel into deep space but it would only be one-way journey. A ship with it own atmosphere, natural process of recycling with its own star. I know one day we will reach the stars, and seek out new life forms, new civilization and go beyond where no man has ever gone. |
hanstec, you have to tell us more of your interest i.e. banking, sock, IT, Business(type), general merchandize i.e. then we could help. |
Thank you. My first question, is about something i read in "Things Fall Apart". In it, the author mentions that they 'throw twins away', so they kill twins by leaving them out in like bushes or something. My question, is why do/did they do this? What is so bad about twins? I'd hope this is your research. Okay, believe it or not natural evolution has taken place since things fall apart. Yes my ancestors did not understand the miracles of births and twins and our deities regarded it as abomination as westerns today regards oppressed as terrorist. No, we do not kill our twins anymore, thanks to our well educated Nigerians home and at Diaspora has informed us that it is a wonderful thing. Note, things we do not understand yet in our lives are considered as treat, you should know that. My second question is, (remember i have NO idea what Nigerian culture is like) do you all Still live in villages. In clans? And if you do, do you guys live in houses? Or do you live in obi's? Are men still permitted/encouraged to have more than one wife? I bet you live in a government flat whereever you are as you system provides all the infrastructure for you. Here in Nigeria we live in Mansions, duplex and yes we live large. A reference to my claim would be for you to go and borrow some Nigerian Movies, Especially the ones with actors like Newm Owo, Kanayo. O. Kanayo, Zack Orji, Jim Ike, etc, maybe you should ask Wesley Snipes when he came to Nigeria whether he slept in the Village?. Obi is a palace. It is NOT a house. Every man must build a place at his house. Do you want definition of a palace? In the bible Solomon married many wives, but thanks to Christianity, today we are encourage to marry just one wife. It was because of diseases and deaths that our ancestors married many wives. In additions, my ancestors were farmers and need labour work, not like some countries would resort to enslave others for their personal goals. The more children a man has the richer he becomes, because he has manpower. Beside my ancestors did not have answer to all diseases some children died and some didn't, they were my heroes. What is the main religions in Nigeria right now? How important are these religions to you? Nigeria is a very religious country, thanks to British for teaching us. We have three major Languages in Nigeria today, The Igbo, Yoruba and Hausa. Hence three religions, Christianity practice by some middle belt region of Nigeria to the South of Nigeria. The other one is Muslim practice again from middle belt region up the Northern Nigeria. We have had our differences but now the Nation lives in harmony. The only problem in Nigeria is our political system. The third religion is the atheist, they have many ways the practice they religion. Another thing that i read in "Things Fall Apart" was about the lords of the village titles. that there are four different title that you can achieve. So, how do you get these? Does someone higher up decide? Does the previous holder of the title choose in case of their death? Are women allowed to hold these titles? Is there a vote of who deserves to have it? Do people still even HAVE the titles? I cannot say much about this. I stand to be challenged; mind you Things Fall Apart was taken from just one cultural part of the Nigerian the Igbos. Don't assume Things Fall Apart speaks for all the Nigerians. It is only taken from and Igbo kingdom. I don't know about the titles. That was the problem of Igbo man we do NOT regard title, till today we do not have an Igbo leader. Anyway like the Yorubas they have Oba, the Hausa have Emir but the Igbo only have a family or kindred leader called Igwe. We also have Eze, the leader of large community. This is basically a monarchy like the UK. It is run and inherited by the royal families. Like many culture today, women do not participate in the politics. Believe it or not women rule the world just that they are ruling behind the scene. George Bush would contact his wife about major political decisions about America, believe it or not and her answers make a lot difference. But now in Nigeria women holds public office jobs. Like Minister for Finance Ngozi is an Igbo woman and rest of them like that. How are women revered in culture? Are there some clans that allow them to have power? Are they still treated more as objects? In the bible God created Adam and ask him to Look after Eve. How could you revere that? Since liberation by Nightingale women around the world today wants equal power, I don't blame them. But know this, Nigeria women are the most rigorous and persistent women on earth. Intelligent, industrious and many men in Nigeria are becoming scared. Do you still have Evil Forests? like Umfioma (sp?) in "Things Fall Apart" does? Those are legendary myth. I can't believe there is anything our God cannot solve. Mind you I told you early that Nigeria is a very religious country. Do you still have trials, held by the 'gods/spirits' of the forest? I wish it could be re-introduced. I wish we could have studied gods/spirits at our universities and learn more about it. No knowledge is a waste, so they say. Our court system is not perfect like many around the world today. If it is possible to make magic when someone is guilty their face goes red for few minutes, I think that is a good justice for me don't you think? But our colonial masters told us that that was evil. Evil that has kept us alive for billion years back. To those of you whom have visited Nigeria. What is it like from an tourists viewpoint? What is the most rememberable thing about Nigeria? Hmm, I cannot tell you that, because I left Nigeria very long ago. I am thinking of resettling back once a good political leader emerges. But what I’ve seen during my visits, I am impressed and I hope to go back soon. Nigeria is a very rich cultural society with contemporary knowledge disposition. I believe we are sleeping Giant and believe one day we will rule the world. We have the resources and intelligent but the westerns will not leave us alone. i think that's enough questions for now, oh and if anyone knows of sites that tell statistics about Nigeria, I'd love it if you could tell me them. You can put my name on your research. Mr Valentine Obih |
If you plan to use a network printer and it does not have an ethernet card, just use one of your PC as a print server. Server cost money especially Windows products. You would need to get a client licence ranging from 5 users for like $1000. The more user the more money. If you plan to host any server resource i.e. webs server, application server, database server, game server, document server etc. consider using open source, these are free. i.e Fedora, Linus, Suse, Mandrake etc. Reference 1. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/howtobuy/licensing/pricing.mspx |
You do NOT need a server. Definition of server, A process that runs on a host that relays information to a client upon the client sending it a request. Servers come in many forms: application servers, web servers, database servers, and so forth. All IP-based servers can be load balanced.

MP3 is an acronym for MPEG-1 or MPEG-2 audio layer 3. MP3 is the file extension for MPEGaudio layer 3. Layer 3 is one of three coding schemes (layer 1, layer 2 and layer 3) for the compression of audio signals. Layer 3 uses perceptual audio coding and psychoacoustic compression to remove all superfluous information (more specifically, the redundant and irrelevant parts of a sound signal. The stuff the human ear doesn't hear anyway). You know you cassette player, whihc is an old tech for holding magnetic data. Cassette audio or video device utilized for recording and playback of sampled material. A cassette contains two wheels and the tape medium rolled onto the two wheels. The successor of cassette is the CD ( CD-ROM media is read-only media that holds about 650 MB of data. It's generally accepted as the easiest way to distribute software. CD-ROM drives can also read audio CDs even though they are in a different format than standard CD-ROM media. ) The successor of CD was the DVD (Digital Versatile Disk." (Formerly Digital Video Disk.) Same size as a CD but stores seven times CD capacity on a single side. DVDs can also be double-sided or dual layer. Today most DVDs are used to display full-length commercial motion pictures, plus additional material such as outtakes, director's notes, movie trailers, etc.) Because of mobility and more data storage capacity new digital format came about among many was the mp3. You convert your traditional cassette, CD, DVD digital audio format to mp3. Because mp3 is compressed it allows more data storage on a media. You can use a USB data storage to store all your mp3. You can download mp3 converter http://www.mp3-converter.com/mp3_converter_freeware.htm and convert all you entire CD or DVD audio collection to mp3 and carry it about in an USB stick http://www.a2boffice.co.uk/a2bstore/346/346_Portable%3Cbr%3EUSB+Storage.html |
Sure Nnenna1 , a woman will fall for a man because she likes his looks. But for a woman, liking a man's looks often means she likes the look in his eye when he looks at her. And what's that look? Not dumb adoration, but total focus - - total attention to what she's saying, sensitivity to her moods, awareness of her needs. Most women are fed up with hotshot guys who spend the whole evening talking about themselves and scanning the room for other attractive women. Every woman wants to be the centre of attention. If that's her experience with you -- a man who remains totally engaged in conversation with her, unaffected by the gorgeous girl at the next table, she'll find it irresistible. She'll want to see you again, and she won't care if you're not the most attractive guy around. Really paying attention covers everything from putting her orgasm before yours to putting the toilet seat back down. It means thinking of her and making sure she's comfortable. It means taking out the trash and being gallant enough to lift anything that looks heavy -- even if she's perfectly capable of lifting it herself. That's not the point. The point is that you care enough to do it. |
to nicetohave here you reference 1. http://www.noao.edu/jacoby/pn_gallery.html 2. http://www.washington.edu/newsroom/news/2003archive/01-03archive/k011303a.html NOTE =========== Our Sun will eventually die one day. We will not be here but our children would and it is a terrible faith for human kind. Scientist has known this for long and are fighting for new technologies for interstellar travel to another star. You can do this |
You cannot get a pentiun 4 2.0 for =N=12000. At least =N=40000 I will get you a good deal. and can you specify the rest of the specs? |
First of all you must decide on your communication protocol i.e. TCP/IT most popular for home networking. These are equipments you would need: 1. ADSL Modem Router (You could buy either wireless or both combined together) 2. ISP account 3. Hub 4 ports (If you are planning for migration in the future buy more ports) 4. RJ45 (These are cables, buy the terminated ones) 5. RJ11 (Normally telephone cable, probably from your ISP) Now, you PC or computers must have Ethernet card, one on each PC. Normally they come installed but if you don't have it ask a computer shop that you want Network card they will understand. You need one for each PC. Now plug the RJ11 to the telephone jack on the house wall and the other end to the ADSL modem Router. Take one of you RJ45 and plug it into the ADSL modem Router and the other end to a PC. The manually that came with the Router should tell you the default IP address of the router. Normally in this form 192.168.0.2, type this on the PC browser to access the router. Edit the router to add your ISP information, save and reboot. While inside your router change the default passwd. The router will now connect to your ISP and the hub could be plugged into the router and the rest of the PC into the hub and there you have it. If you have a network printer you could plug it into the hub too. Your VOIP buy the phone with RJ45 and plug it into the hub and register for a carrier terminator i.e. vounge.com the would give you ur SIP (An application-layer control protocol, a Signalling protocol for Internet Telephony. SIP can establish sessions for features such as audio/videoconferencing, interactive gaming, and call forwarding to be deployed over IP networks thus enabling service providers to integrate basic IP telephony services with Web, e-mail, and chat services.) Number and you can start making cheap internet call around the world |
Nnenna1 thank you very much for your theoretical and spiritual analysis. I totally agree with you. You said it all. It is arduous to comprehend the existence and God but understandable to an open minder. Religion is a branch of science. What you also forget to tell then was that earth will eventually die one day and create a lovely nebula that will start our solar system again. |
1. What are the specs sold today in Nigeria? 2. Is there any special requirements that Nigerians would like added to their computer? 3. How much are you willing to pay for a brand new Pc at home? 4. Do you consider internet cafe the best option? 5. Do you know you can download all your materials from the internet and work offline at home. |
How much would you pay for this computer spec: 1. TFT Flat Screen Monitor 17inchs (Good for Game) 2. Pentium 4 3.6GHz 3. Asus A8N-SLI SE S939 NF4 SLi DDR400 SATAII Raid GbE Lan USB2 6Ch Audio ( Motherboard) FBS 800 (Front Speed Bus) 4. 120GB Hard Drive 5. RAM 1GB 6. AGP 128MB (For Games) 7. PCI sound card 64MB 8. USB 1X4 9. DVD-RW 10. ZIP Drive 750MB This question is particularly for people in Nigeria but anyone can contribute |
This is my theory about God. I believe in Omnipotent that we call God. But I just don't believe the bible. Many things there are misleading and are open for debate. This is because men wrote bible. God created existence and existence create some many things. If God knows everything and what we do, then we are nothing but a simple computer program that has to do what he has been told (Programmed) to do. So God cannot know everything. Someone that said God create us in his image and likeness should expanded on that, because if he does why hind away from us? |
To cut the story, Christianity is a big political regime that over millennia that has translated in modern faith. Can someone answer this question for me? Before earth there was God, before God what was it? In my understanding we have Solar system, which sustain our nine planets. We have Galaxy, which our solar system is among it. It takes 100 billion Solar Systems to make Galaxy, our own Galaxy is called the Milky way Galaxy. We have billion billon billion billon Galaxies in our universe. (the word universe was used to mean the whole spacetime continuum in which we exist, together with all the energy and matter within it. Attempts to understand the universe in this sense, on the largest possible scales, are made in cosmology, a science that has grown from physics and astronomy). Scientist are theorising that they could be more than one universe. Now tell me did God create all this in one day? |
Many of these people that rebelled, over centuries prefecture a religion and anticipated the coming of Jesus Christ as we hope today that he will come again. When Caesar knew of it he assembled his men to kill every male son in the city and Christ supposedly escape to Egypt where he grow up. Egypt was ally to Rome and had technologies no one had today. They master all sort of voodoo with high priest telling them what to do. With letters from many prophets i.e. “Letter to the Galatians, Philippines etc.” Persuading other countries to join the movement of the Romans brutal regime. All these were documented in a series of shown last summer on BBC by group of scientist, archaeologies and religious researchers. I am sorry I do not have links to show you. But you find out by calling BBC (Discovery Channel) and ask about the making of the bible. |
I will try and put this together in a short form as it has shown that many people particularly Nigerians believe whatever their where told my their colonial masters. I will not go down to the theory of evolution as it is for the wise to understand the work of God. Furthermore, our colonial master said that Ibo’s were the least advanced (No offence) when they came that the most advanced culture were the Hausa that is why the left the government with then after independence. However, this is the colonial judgment base on the fact that civilization was base on political hierarchy, example they had Emir, community language in written form and they use money not trade by bather. This politics was the defining moment for western world. Romans were the strongest world power and brutal. They even use humans as gladiator in the coliseum fight. Many Romans rebelled and hope for Messiah as they called it. I will write again. |
Always check the site certificate and that it has a key locked at the bottom right hand corner. Every ecommerce website redirect their potential customers to a HTTPS. Let me explain: Look in your Address/Url (Uniform Resource Locator) like in nairaland.com has it full address as http://www.nairaland.com. If Nairaland has an ecommerce it would redirect you to a secure protocol i.e https://nairaland.com notice the "s" after "http" that stand for secure and most of these dodgy people do not have it, even if they do could not afford to have a certificate of authority to hind their illegal activities. |
Better still phising has gone into new dimension. In the UK alone is cost the system £billions every year. Like layi said some guru can attack a website with packet flooding and put it down for a while and redirect traffic from that website to their own dodgy site and get your information. The new one I guess is to install an illegal ATM (Automated Teller Machine. An unmanned electronic device that performs basic teller functions, such as accepting deposits, cash withdrawals, and account balance inquiries.) machine and simply read your card details. It will not tell you that it has ran out of cash like some legal one do. It would allow u to put ur card and read off the information and simply tell you that it has ran out of cash and someone in Zurich will be shopping electronically with ur details. Beware and always take insurance on ur card(s) |
Just an advice, learn to code HTML (Hyper-text Markup Language) by hand first, before using software application like front page and dreamweaver. |
You did not tell us how u solved the problem for next guy. Anyway I figured that u had ur front page in code view, all u need to do was to switch it back to design view. I hope this was ur orignal problem. Good luck. |

What Do You Think About Pyramid Game -- Shortway To May Lots Of Money This is what I think about it. Although some have reported success on it but that is all the scam about it. I remember when I was at school back in Nigeria; we had these pyramids quick way of becoming rich. Then it was called favour and I played it with =N=1 then, I wonder what has become of it now and my investment. These are my findings: 1.
