₦airaland Forum

I felt bad when === sent me this email:

---

honestly, the nairaland site is becoming complex and navigating to different parts of the site is more difficult and people spend more time on the site trying to access some parts...so..

please the normal site is as fine instead of adding the complexities...besides the new chat feature is not it at all...

and many people are becomin disgusted goin to the site because of irrelevant things

normally a forum should be simple and not lucid....

later

true again.

The person below me is a virgin.

It's funny how much money people will spend to get the naira sign, which you can just cut and paste from this page!

ABUJA,08/05 - The Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) of Nigeria said here Thursday it had adopted the electronic voting system (EVS) for the 2007 general elections.

At the launching of the commission`s National Stakeholders Election Forum held in the capital Abuja, INEC Chairman Maurice Iwu the commission made the decision on July 20 because it believed that the time had come for the introduction of technology in the nation`s electoral process.

"Accordingly, the commission has formally adopted the Electronic Voting System (EVS) as the method it will use for the 2007 polls," he said.

However, he added, the commission needed to study the various options of the mechanized voting system as pilot project.

The introduction of the Electronic Voting Machine (EVM), as part of the EVS in 2007 elections, would depend on the outcome of the pilot project, he said.

He gave an assurance of the commission`s readiness to provide basic electoral services to Nigerians in a timely, fair, honest, effective and transparent manner.

UPDATE: Pintos just updated his profile!

Naijalife, can you post one of your cute modelling pics so we can feature you on the home page?

true.

the person below me is a girl

What I am saying is that it is difficult to help the vast majority of Nigerians women, who are victims of spousal abuse, when they are not protesting agaisnt it. When they don't seem to be disturbed by it. When they think it's not a big deal; that it's part of the pain of love.

Seun did i hear u say u don't trip for Nobody?
u r just jealous, everyone knows that,just admit Mr Admin....

Who is she?how come u don't tell us about her?

There is a girl that's seriously troubling my emotions right now. I'm disturbed that I still feel the way I do about her despite only ever being friends and more than a year of not seeing her, and her constant behaviour as if I don't matter. I'm disturbed about that, but I find it difficult to be impressed by most other girls.

Only one my age or younger has ever really impressed me!

I honestly mean it. I put the blame squarely on Nigerian women; unlike women in other african countries, Nigerian women actually have the power to make a difference but they are simply not interested. Let's let them talk and you'll see what they'll say.

I was going to promote this thread, then I saw that nobody here is being sincere.

Aww. And i have to go to sleep now. to all of you. Hmmm... WesleyanA why don't you update your profile to include your location?

Yes, but this age-gap flirting makes one feel guilty.  Like an "agbaya".  My pic is avaliable at www.nairaland.com/img/handsome.jpg

Would Denzel Washington make it in Nollywood?

I look like Denzel Washington.  Only younger and more handsome .

She doesn't want people to know it's me.

A lot of people who used to post regularly don't do so anymore.  A lot of the Nigerians about my age who are based in the country.  Tayotina, Pinky, ... Ra, .. and sometimes I don't even feel like posting because the top posters are not my age at all!

hot-angel, I hope you're right; I really do.

Is it possible that people will see the b-girls enjoying themselves all over the forum and conclude that it's only for teenagers?

Sometimes I'm bothered that while the number of posts on the forum is increasing everyday, it's the same 2-3 people that are doing all the posting

Well the rest of us envy you a lot! Teh masturbation thread is locked because people were going on and on.

You ladies are really enjoying the forum, aren't you?

These girls, can be funny. By 'cash flow positive' I meant that I make slightly more than the basic needs of the site -Internet access and hosting - require.

Well, it can be useful for Nigerians who don't have WAP (Internet) support on their phones. International SMS costs the same as local SMS, so it can be quite cost-effective.

The winners of Face of Eva have been announced!

Trust me, console games are much better than PC games!

1) According to 'Reasons Why Women Have Induced Abortions: Evidence from 27 Countries', The top reasons for induced abortion among women in Nigeria are:
- "Having a child will disrupt my education or job" (40.4%)
- "I have a relationship problem" or "my partner does not want the pregnancy" (31.9%)
- "I want to postpone childbearing" (19.9%)

Other reasons include:
- "I want no (more) children"
- "I cannot afford a baby".
- "I'm too young - my parents object to the pregnancy".

---

2) I find abortion acceptable if the mother's health is in danger.  I find late-stage abortion (after 6, 7 months plus) disturbing.  I find it unacceptable in cases of rape because if the rape is reported immediately to a good doctor there is almost no risk of pregnancy.  In all other cases, I have no opinion - each case should be considered separately.  (I don't think it's legal in Nigeria if the mother's health isn't at risk)

---

3) It depends on the case.  Where pregnancy is concerned, prevention is better than the cure.

Tuesday 9th August 2005

For the first time, the Lagos Lottery has produced two jackpot winners in one week! Muiz Abayomi Ayoola, 21, a student from Ketu, emerged as the first winner to share in last week’s jackpot prize of N2.5 million, walking away with a cool[b] N1.25 million[/b].

Muiz has recently completed a course at a local computer school and is waiting for entrance into university where he plans to study accounting and dreams to become a chartered accountant one day. He comes from a family of seven children and is currently unemployed and is supported by his mother who is a local trader.

Interestingly, it turns out that in order to stand a better chance of winning, Muiz clubbed together with two friends who each put in N100 so they could buy two N150 tickets between them. His lucky friends who get to share the N1.25 million with Muiz are Afeez Ameen, 22, who is studying mass communication at OOU and Muyiwa Ogunkelu, 24, who is also waiting for admission into university.

According to Muiz, this was his[b] first time of playing [/b]the Lagos Lottery and he did so on his brother’s recommendation. His brother had formerly played getting four (4) numbers in the first draw.

Muiz and his friends purchased their winning ticket from Jeremob Ventures Business Centre in Ketu on Wednesday last week, choosing the numbers randomly amongst themselves while also taking his brother’s advice on two numbers. While another syndicate member watched the draw on Saturday night, Muiz had the ticket so his friend was not certain if they were winners. He immediately rushed over to meet Muiz with the draw results and there was much jubilation when they realised they were winners!

Muiz said he couldn’t sleep the whole of Saturday night, dreaming of what he would do with his winnings. The three syndicate members will split their winnings between them evenly and Muiz says he will give some of his portion to his mother and save the rest for his education.

Muiz and his two friends came into Orion Technologies’ head office on Monday morning to claim their prize. As per Orion’s LOTTO game rules of paying a single ticket holder, Muiz was paid the full N1.25 million [/b]as syndicates must choose a syndicate manager to represent them and the prize is paid out to that representative. It is the responsibility of syndicates to arrange payments between their members.

Amazingly, Muiz and his friends were not the only jackpot winners last week! There is [b]still a lucky ticket holder out there who has also won N1.25 million, according to General Manger: Business Development of Orion Technologies, Dominic Dempers.

Dempers urged all players from last week to check their tickets against the winning numbers of 1, 17, 20, 25, 28 and 36 to make sure that they don’t miss out on this lucrative prize.

For the next draw, a special "One Month Anniversary Draw" promotion is on whereby N5000 is a guaranteed payout for Division Four (match four numbers) and N750 is a guaranteed payout for Division Five (match three numbers),

"We are committed to producing more winners and more millionaires among Lagosians every week. All you have to do is buy your Lagos Lottery tickets from our authorised dealers at any Oando filling station, all Oceanic bank branches in Lagos, independent retailers and our vendors on the street dressed in magenta coloured dungarees, pick your six numbers and watch for the results on our game show.

The Lagos Lottery TV Game Show is on at 8:30pm every Saturday, on Silverbird TV [/b]and you might just be the next winner".
