₦airaland Forum

You should write more than this in your profile!

I understand what you mean by 'yahoo boys', but what is 'Oluwole'?

The masquerade act (masked anonymous man) is part of what makes his music unique!

Here's what led to this problem:

According to the NFA website, the Inter Milan striker was born on 1 May 1978 but the player's passport states his date of birth as 28 October 1984.

"The website was commissioned by the former NFA secretary general Taiwo Ogunjobi. But it has not been handed over to us."

Galadima said the website's password is still with the person who built it because he has not been paid for his work.

I'm promoting your site! When people see the flash, they will click the part that says "enter" and they will end up on your site, which is what we all want!

Lagbaja's Website is at www.lagbaja.net

So how do you access the internet?  Multilinks or VSAT?

LAGOS, Aug. 4 (Xinhuanet) -- The Nigerian government has assured its people that the 18-billion-dollar debt cancellation deal agreed in June by the country's Paris Club creditors was "true" and said that it would buy back the rest of that debt by March 2006.

Mansur Muhtar, head of the country's Debt Management Office said while reacting to different criticisms over the debt relief that the deal "draws a line under the past and gives Nigeria a fresh start."

I'll have disagree with Imnakoya's last comment. In Obong's comment which you quoted, he talked about rapes and murders in peace-time South Africa and the USA. You appear to have completely misunderstood him!

Obong's comment is valid: we should also try to talk about the good things that are happening in Nigeria, too.
Timbuktu Chronicles is an example of a site that focuses exclusively on good things happening in Africa.

UPDATE: I'm not saying that other blogs don't report good things about Nigeria; I'm saying that this is an example of a blog that refuses to discuss anything that is negative; it discusses just the positive things related to entrepreneurship.

Well, I guess it's safe to say it's 2Face Idibia, the African Queen man .

Cats spit when they are frightened, but but their spit is harmless - it is actually just meant to scare away their attacker.

The real danger is what happens when an inexperienced person or child mishandles a cat - the cat extends its claws and scratches you (ouch!). But once you know how to properly handle a cat and not get it frightened, it's fun all the way.

Hello, nice topic.

Well I love cats a lot, because they're easy to maintain and useful for dealing with tropical mice!

I would also like to keep birds like parots as pets, but I doubt that that's likely - you see, cats love to eat birds so its hard to love them both.

But I'll take cats over birds if forced to choose. Dogs remain the most friendly pets in the world.

And no, I do not have a girlfriend.

I turned 23 on the 17th of July, but I'm celebrating on the 17th of September!

Latoya, the best way you can pay me back for the forum is by inviting your friends to join! Thanks for loving the forum!

They're not going to be freeing up much space. Only 200 students will be accepted by this university!

Nah. It's not that simple; their contact form doesn't even work!

What kind of phone are you using and have you activated Glo GPRS (for WAP and MMS?)

I'm not sensitive about my looks. My picture is on my newest blog and anyone on the Internet is free to look at it! You see, I'm so handsome that it's inconcievable that a lady would look at my pic and not drool!

This is a nice offer, tcherokee. Funny enough neither of them visits the forum regularly enough for my liking.

I'm not one of them - I only asked for her picture once and she made a big deal out of it - now I understand why: it's because as a professional model, so showing her picture is indeed a big deal. 
Latoya is also the first to make me realise that a professional model can be sensitive about her looks. 

Anyway, Latoya, I hope you like what I've done to your picture! If you don't see any pink block on your pic, hold down the control key and refresh this page!

Yeah, she's beautiful and she's probably already recieving emails from guys.

Thanks, Tim, for your contribution!

Yes, hot-angel, I agree that you deserve an award for your contributions, especially as a member of the Early Posting Squad

The second winner (runner-up) of this website competition is rufaai (Ahmad I. Mukoshy). Here is his application.

Dear Sir,

I would like to create an educational website with My Personal Researches, School Assignments, Resumes, Certified Documentations, Educational Qualifications and Personal Datas.

I would like to register: www.clueboy.com (Its Available)

Thank You.
Ahmad I. Mukoshy

Why he is a winner?
- The domain name he has chosen, clueboy.com, is a really good one!
- He took the time to check for availability, so we feel he's technically proficient.
- His site embodies our original focus - personal domain names and websites.

Congratulations, Ahmad.

Below is the application sent in by the first winner of our Domain Name & Website Competition, Nkechi Ikegwuoha (emphases mine)

Compliments of the Day,

My name is Nkechi Ikegwuoha and I am a member of the Nairaland (Job) forum. I would like to be considered or given the oppurtunity to have a domain/website with the name "Intentional Beauty" because since I started job hunting, I decided to empower myself by making ladies beads, Jewelry. I've just moved to PH and have no friends, so I feel with this, I can still continue my passion of making women's necks look beautiful by reaching out to a wider market.

I am sure I could post pictures of them and connect with potential buyers. I am also a lover of Poetry so i can express my self and give people too a chance to post their poems with also a chance for people to comment on what they see. Intentional Beauty not only means the jewelry I make but it also talks of the things within us that gives that Intentional Beauty (which is something God has intently put in all of us).

Thank you.

---

Some of the reasons why she's a clear winner in this competition:
She has a clear and worthy vision for the website, is a rare species (female entrepreneur), can obviously express herself well, actually needs the domain and seems likely to succeed.

Congratulations, Nkechi, but you don't seem to log on to Nairaland as often as before.

Trust me, tolumi, I get more hate mail than the other way round. I'm glad that Latoya likes me now, because at the beginning she did not! Thanks, hot-angel, Latoya, tcherokee, for checking out my profile.

Dear Sir,

With reference to your postings on the nairaland forum of July 23, 2005, I hereby apply for the free domain
registration, hosting, etc of the domain ==.===.==

I want to use the domain and website as my personal blogs where I can write and posts on issues relating
to communications and mobile technologies and related issues.

I am currently doing same on my blog http://diakim2..com, but there are some limitations as to how I can make the site appears.

Besides, there is always the fear that one day, someone may pull the plugs from the site and then all
my works and efforts will be lost.

Therefore, a free personal domain and website will help me to pursue my internet interests with full
freedom as to the contents and formats, and also eliminates the risk of losing everything I have done.

I will greatly appreciate it, if my application is given a favourable considerations.

Faithfully Yours,

Felix Adebayo

Interested in your offer.

I'm going to use the space and the domain name (==.===.==) to host
what i already have at http://c0dec.150m.com.

Dear sir,

I have longed to have my own domain name and website running for sometime now but for the fact that I don't have a credit card with which to make payment. Also I don't really trust all those adverts for web hosting in the newspapers.

When I joined this forum I was impressed about what I saw and it really make me happy (Seun keep up the good work), at least there is a place where I can rub mind with people that have like and diverse mindset with me.

Presently I have what I can't call a website (since am squatting), www.joftech.8m.net . Am never too proud to show it off to people because it does not make me look serious, and that's one of the main reason why it's in a state of disrepair.

I hope to redesign it and make it look snazzier, although am not good with Flash yet, I hope I can get some nice templates though.

Preferred domain name is http://==.===.== , I hope to start an ISP (my ultimate goal) in the future.

I hope I get to clinch this free stuff.

Thanks.
Joseph O. Fasoyinu.

I hope i'll be considered for this "Promo".
The domain name i'll like to register is "==.===.==".

thanx a mill

pkrix Jul 30, 2005 5:33 PM

Thanks
Pkrix

Dear Seun,

I thank you so much for your offer of a Linux website account hosted in my name free for one year.

Infact, I truly appreciate that nice gesture from you on behalf of Nairaland and it will help me to unviel my dreams of adventures.

So coming to the reason why I need a domain in my name and its intended usage, I will be stating it below:

1. I would like to open a website with this name: ==.===.==

2. This is because I am art inclined and would like to get the voice of the man in the grassroot to be heard all over the world and let the people know the pains,sorrows,discriminations,rejections faced by the man in the street(Poor Man).

3.The site if approved, will be home for solutions to the numerous agitations,dreams,aspirations and everyday life expriences of every human being here on planet Earth .

4. I will also eandeavour to relay to the growing world population some of our arts in pictures,writings and positive creativity, through which I believe that the world will see beyond the cloud that they thought is covering Nigeria, there are many silver linings with our own positive contribution to reforming Nigeria.

Well, I hope that I have made my point and I also believe that I will be granted this singular/great honour of having this website.

I look forward to your positive response.

Yours Faithfully,

Anthony Chuks Ifeoseme.

You can point online contacts to your personal website when they're asking you annoying questions like:
- What's your name?
- Where do you live?
- Where do you work?
- Are you a web designer?
- Do you have a blog?

If you interact with bloggers, it's helpful to include a link to your website/blog in comments so they can check you up a bit before e-mailing you if there's something you can help them with in exchange for $$$!

Seun these are my reasons Thank you

Out of all the people that applied, we have shortlisted two possible winners, who would be proud owners of the new domain name and website. Those two people are not in the above list, so if your name is in the above list it means you did not win. The winner(s) will be announced very soon after I confer further with kayode.

If you applied for the package and your email has not been published above, then you're probably going to win, so feel free to start celebrating!
