WebmastersRe: My Bitter Experience With A Nairalander Web Designer Bluefly Design. by semasir: 7:19pm On Apr 16, 2019
Sorry your experience... The calls ignored is really baffling. You can try reaching out to your bank or someone there to help you with his address though they'll not disclose without authorisation but report that the payment was made in error and see what can be done.

I wish you good luck and hope to help you should you need other web support

Portsvessels:
I will be brief as possible.
Have been on nairaland since 2006 thereabout. NL has helped me in lots of ways, gaining admission into UNILAG, helping my business even making my first million. Seun is truly God sent.

Have met quite a number of good guys on NL, my personal doctor, even mechanic, yes mechanic.

Sorry for that intro but been appreciative of this platform.

Fast forward I contacted this Bluefly of a guy after seeing his adverts and his astonishing website, I said to myself Yes this guy must be so good. As an African proverb says, if a person is recommending a cloth you first check the one he is wearing. The guy has a good website ( http://blueflydesign.com.ng/) Alas ! Not all that glitters is gold.

Contacted him 13th March 2019, fast response, good presentation, he seems to know what I want, I told other partners, this guy is our missing link. Fast forward he requested for 100,000 for the brief and 70percent deposit . 70,000 sent 28th of March 2019. Confirmation came in few minutes after payment was sent ( thank God he confirmed). Oya let’s move on to the design, WhatsApp group was set up between our team with him.

Oya designer you’ve not bought domain name....story started... I will buy tomorrow, card rejected.. okay ooo. No wahala

After one week Oga no dey pick call once na after 3 times, he doesn’t respond properly to WhatsApp. Oh he might be so busy with coding so I thought.

Domain later bought 1st of April. Thank God it was still available.

Basic questions that needed to be asked weren’t asked. Payment gateway details (nil) site map(nil) color (nil) even Email and phone Number to be used He was just full of excuses.

Okay after calls and all Oga said we will see a preview of what he has been doing so that we can know he is not joking. Good news. Okay when sir. He said Sunday 14th March 2019 4pm. Na so we all glued to our laptop to see our new baby project. All partners were physically in my house so we can review together. Alas Uncle Excuse came again sorry it will be live around 10pm, everyone left disappointed. At least we confirmed twice before the meeting. I cheered them up 10pm is just around the corner now let’s have group call afterwards now. They all reluctantly accepted. I begged Oga please don’t disappoint me again.

10pm came no show again, everyone started pointing at me, Bluefly no gree pickup. After several attempts Oga dropped message as usual “deepest apologies...bla bla preview can be checked now”. That’s nice my guy all sins are forgiven. Everyone went to check the website, OMG it was CRAP guy only used a dead theme, no professionalism, no work done, nothing.

We’ve been waiting for weeks for only theme demo. My head was off. Was very annoyed.

Oga oya pick calls, called several times no pick up, oh he is busy oya send messages, nooo. He is doing you cannot catch me . Oh I see. Oya where are you let’s have a meeting so that I can know what to tell my other partners. Guy no respond, traced the address on his website at 2, Osho Street OPEBI IKEJA , no one knows him there.

Went on NL only to see someone calling him out that he is a thief bla bla. I felt somehow.

I can share alll details of our chats herein. The guy is quite unprofessional, and the poorest of customer service. He doesn’t feel bothered about anything. He misses your call he doesn’t feel the need to call back at least he has gotten his money.

Sent him a message all I want is a refund .

Christianity EtcWhy We Should Not Worship God With Musical Instrument by semasir(op): 7:23am On Apr 07, 2019
TEXT: 2 Timothy 3:16

INTRODUCTION: Should Christians today use instrumental music in our worship to God? This question has been a wedge of division between religious people. Yet, as controversial as the question is, there are many who think that the discussion is trivial – that it simply doesn’t matter. Should we; shouldn’t we; or does it even matter?

Immediately striking many visitors to the churches of Christ is the absence of any musical instruments. Some have mistakenly supposed that it may by because an individual congregation cannot afford an organ or may be that there is no one who can play. So much of the worship in many churches around us today is geared towards entertainment. Many people think they have worshipped acceptably if they “feel good” by what they do in worship. But Jesus has stated: “for what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God” Luke 16:15, Prov. 14:12.

Many people actually criticize the Lord’s Church for not using musical instruments in our worship but the questions are:
-Does God approve the use of instruments of music in Christian worship?
-Those instruments are popular in churches today; does that mean God is pleased?
- Did Christ anywhere in the Bible command the use of instruments in His worship?
- Did the Apostle use such? Did any of the churches we read about in the New Testament leave us an example of the use mechanical instruments?

God’s word is the final authority in all religious matters (Matt. 28:18, I Cor. 4:6, I Peter 4:11, Jude 3, Rev. 22:18-19)

WHY NOT INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC?
1. New Testament worship is spiritual not physical: What was the distinction Jesus made between the worship of the New covenant and that of the Old (John 4:19-24)?

2. Was one to worship God “with the proper attitude and in the proper way” under the Old Testament law ( 25:2, Deut. 5:32; 6:4-9; 12:32)?

Then what is Jesus contrasting)?

How are the things of the Old Testament Law described ( 8:4-5; 10:1-4, Col. 2:16-17)?
Why did God send the physical types and symbols of the Old Testament first (I Cor. 15:46)?
How do the things of the New Testament Law replace the old ( 5:17-20, John 1:17)?
Are musical instruments part of the shadows and types of the Old Testament, or the spiritual fulfillment of the New ( 2:16-17, Eph. 5:19)

Go Has Not Commanded The Use Of Instruments

In Christian Worship: Since God alone is the object of our worship and is alone worthy to be praise, He should determine what our worship consists of and how and when it should be conducted.

God not man is to be worshipped. God – not man is therefore to be pleased. What pleases man, or what man thinks pleases God may be “abomination in the sight of God (Luke 16:15; Prov. 14:12).

Any act of worship offered to God should be in harmony with the will of God revealed in His Word (John 1:17, 4:24).

“To do what God has not authorized is to assume that God is not capable of knowing what He wants. To something religiously which God has neither commanded nor forbidden is to assume that man is licensed to do anything which God is silent about” – Celine R. Paden

Generic and Specific Commands: There are two kinds of commands given in the Bible: Generic and Specific commands; “music” is a generic term, because there is more than one kind.

If the Lord had commanded “make music” we could comply with the command by vocal, instrumental, or a combination of both. But “singing” is a specific term. Inasmuch as the scripture all point to singing, this restricts the music to vocal – Guy V. Caskey

The Scripture Authorize Singing: All the passages that deal with music in the New testament worship specify singing as the type of music, Matt. 26:30, Acts 16:25, I Cor. 14:15; Eph. 5:19, Col. 3:16, Heb. 2:12; 13;5; in each and every case, the type of music is vocal.

None of these references mentioned the use of instrumental music.

We have authority for vocal music, but we have no authority to offer any other kind music; to offer any kind (like instrumental) music would be “strange or unauthorized” a sinful (Lev. 10:1-2).

We do not have authority to add or take away from the word of God – Deut. 4:2, 2 John 9, Rev. 22:18-19)

Nairaland GeneralHow To Prevent People From Adding You To Whatsapp Groups Without Your Consent by semasir(op): 7:15pm On Apr 05, 2019
WhatsApp now have a feature to ignore being added to any group without your consent just as it is fairly common for complete strangers to add you to their groups without your permission some are actively using the platform to spread their propaganda and fake news.

In their new setting, you can stay out of aggravating group conversations with unknown persons, your extended family, and those toxic friends amongst others.

The Privacy Setting has rolled out to some users already and will be available worldwide in a few weeks soon.

To enable this feature, please follow this procedure:

In your WhatsApp, go to the Settings then choose Accounts and then Privacy.
Click on Groups and select the option that best suit you – the first option will prompt that the user adding you to first send you an invitation which you will have to approve either by:
– Nobody (this prevents anyone from adding you to a group without an invitation)
– My contacts (only your contacts can add you to a group without an invitation)
– Anyone (Anyone can add you to a group without an invitation)If you value your privacy, you’ll want to select either of the first two options.

WebmastersRe: Which Bulk Email Sender Can You Recommend? by semasir: 10:27pm On Jan 23, 2019
What's the script please?
bedfordng:
I was using send blaster but later moved to a more effective self hosted email marketing script.

I needed something to enable me track mails such as those who or did not open, click links etc. send blaster could not give Me that since its desktop software.

the one I am currently using is a self hosted email marketing script which I installed on my server and does what other third party email auto responder like mailchimp, get response, aweber etc . you can schedule mails, create opt-in forms, double or single optin, segment your list, add/import your list,

all list are managed inside the script since there is a feature for creating opt-in forms which can be linked to wordpress opt-in form builder like instabuilder, thrive leads or architect.
