₦airaland Forum

I have good reason to believe that none of their stories are true, but to the extent that they are contributing fun and content to the community I'll allow it!

Actually, Rufus is not even a scam baiter. I know where he and Buffy and others are from (its a forum) but since they have proved to be so entertaining, let's welcome them with open arms anyway!

If 2Face Idibia allowed the free distribution of his songs online do you think he'll be more popular?

Anyway, I'd like to encourage our musicians to make sure that whatever they release is well-polished. Remove all the little imperfections so that, when people are listening, from start to finish every thing is really cool. Any noticeable imperfection spoils the mood of the listener and reduces the chance that your album would be smash hit!

Game developers seem to be excited about the possibilities of this new controller. They feel that it'll help them in their quest to bring gaming to the masses.

You think the wheels are cool because P.Diddy is promoting them!

That was the old ranking. This one is new, and has been reported in the Nigerian Guardian newspaper, but I've been unable get a web link.

As a man, to be on the safe side, make sure you some financial stability before you go out to ask someone to marry you!

And check out Does Love Have Anything to Do With Money?

Yes, it is true that we've looked into this issue on threads such as:
- Why are girls so eager for money?
- What is the perfect gift of love
- Wealthy Men Who Refuse to Give Their Women Money
- Can a Girl Choose a Husband on Love Alone?

However, we do not seem to have dealt with the issue directly. Let's do that here and now.

What, if anything, does love have to do with money?

I don't know much about that particular phone but I have been able to locate the manufacturer's site and its:

I've also been able to locate some screenshots of some models of these phones:

I think they look ok, but I'm yet to go through the features. So which model in particular are you interested in?

Go on, please! More, more, more!

It'll be interesting if those who respond to this poll can also let us know if their current careers are in line with what they really enjoy doing!

Danfo, there is need for diplomacy o. I live in Nigeria!

I like it, and I've never heard it before!

Nice one, Buffy

Don't worry, angela, you're safe. Rufus is probably a scam baiter who wants to see if Nigerians are as greedy as their people who regularly fall for such scams. The answer seems to be "no, no, no!!" So go back and tell your people that the Nigerians on Nairaland are smart, discerning, and not fraudulent.

That I promote a thread doesn't mean I agree with the contents; it means I think it's worth a read!

they didn't take you seriously/ they had nothing important to say!

Ouch! (but you are probably 100% right - I don't chat anymore and no-one is complaining!)

I've discovered that what works best is to launch the messenger app only when I have something to discuss with someone in particular. I only log on to Yahoo Messenger (or Google Talk) when someone says "let's chat", and when it's over, I log out. This way I don't put myself in a position to be rude to anyone, and no-one has the opportunity to be rude to me.

Any other tips? We need your tips!

I have seen people who have so much passion for music that they go to the studio to record a CD and then they give it out for free! Others have written world-class encyclopedia articles for free, and hosted them. Some young webmasters have built popular websites and blogs for the fun of it, with no intention of making back the money spent on those projects. All for the enjoyment they derive from these activities.

No doubt, there are some tasks/duties that you we love to do so much, to the extent that you're ready to keep on doing them even if there's nothing to gain. Mine is primarily that I just that I love to create clever strategies to solve problems that matter in my business, society, and so on. I like to analyse situations, understand and apply fundamental principles to solve them. What's what you really love to do?

Hello Chawkee, you may now post your CV as a Word Document (.doc) or PDF file (.pdf) if applicable.

I'll advice you to post something on this thread to attract a potential employer to [i]download and read [/i]your entire CV!

Ha, bite me!

They mean to say:
- "One of the worst disasters to hit the US", says Bush.

They end up implying that:
- Bush is one of the worst disasters to hit the US.

From his statement:
"Having said that, I wish to state unequivocally that there is no need to appear before your commission when I know that its assignment amounts to nothing but a nullity. As things stand now it is only an independent platform that can guarantee an unbiased investigation on the matter. Anything short of this is a deliberate abuse of the constitution, breaking of the law and therefore unacceptable to me," he stated.

One of the most frustrating experiences of my life has been the attempt I made at one time to maintain friendships via instant messaging (aka chatting). I felt that, since the hourly cost of Internet access is less than that of phone calls, this would be a very inexpensive way to communicate with people. My experience was that people didn't take instant messaging seriously enough for any meaningful conversation to take place.

I was wondering if there are any rules that one can follow to make for a satisfying instant messaging or chat experience? "Professional chatters", do you have any tips?

"Just move the controller to control the action"

Original Source from Nintendo.com

Do you think the Nintendo Revolution, thanks to innovations like this controller, will overtake the Xbox as the gamind console of choice? The idea behind this "remote control controller" is that it will be less intimidating to people who are new to gaming.

Hello Friends,

I'd like to invite you to listen to "Song of Pig", a freely downloadable song by Xiang Xiang, China's most popular Internet pop star! It has been downloaded over one billion times from the site where she uploaded it.

Download the Song of Pig: http://homepage.mac.com/danielbatty/notes/SongOfPig.html
Featured by BBC News : http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4230846.stm

Pig, you have two holes on your nose
When you catch cold, you are snorting
Pig, you have black eyes which we cannot see beyond
Pig, you have two big ears
And you cannot hear that I'm cursing you silly
Pig, you have a curling tail which you cannot run without
Pig head, pig brain, pig body and pig tail
You are a good baby who eats everything
Everyday you won't wake up till noon
And you never brush your teeth and you never fight

What do you think about the song, and it's unbelievable popularity? One billion downloads! Why have none our own Internet musicians not achieved this same level of popularity?

Well, at least it's original!

Layi's comment is food for thought and really nice stuff; something to keep in mind!

I was going to apply to help you girls with your "problem" but then I remembered that I'm not dating at the moment. Ouch!
