₦airaland Forum

Can you post about 5 of such scam threads?

We've been busy with NL2. We have to make sure Nairaland is alright, first.

The only comparative advantage we have in healthcare is the money doctors who live and work abroad send back home to their families every year. That's it. Doctors based abroad have no reason to invest their brains in Nigeria. Nigerian doctors abroad are trained to work wonders with the best tools that money can buy, but those tools are not available in Nigeria because patients can't afford to pay for them. They are used to earning a lot of money for their work, but they can't earn such money here because patients can't pay for it. If they are lured back to Nigeria en-masse, most of them simply will not prosper here.

So if healthcare is to become big business in Nigeria, we would need to have excellent local doctors. If our local doctors were very good, like doctors in India, Americans and Europeans would visit Nigeria on 'medical pilgrimage' to get more affordable healthcare. But our local doctors are not that good. Unlike Indians, our medical industry does not provide a comparable quality of healthcare at a much lower cost. So I disagree with the notion that Nigeria is going to make a lot of money from healthcare. It would require the consistent efforts of lots of business-minded doctors over a very long period of time to change this situation. I'm not holding my breath.

Your relationship seems to be built on a shaky foundation:
- You are insecure and have a kind of inferiority complex, which is why the Ex comments upset you.
- She is not sensitive to your feelings, which is why she keeps comparing you to her Ex.
- You referred to her as "a girl you're dating", even though you are about to get married.
- You postponed your wedding over a petty argument. There will be many more fights if you get married!

I think this relationship is not going to last. Better to break up than to have to get a divorce .

To fix Notepad++, try the solution on this Sourceforge page and also upgrade to the latest version of Notepad++ for good measure. How would you rate the usability of Pspad relative to Notepad++ aside from the settings issue?

It's live!

That's not true. Services can employ a lot of people. Petty trading employs millions of people too. Anything productive that adds value to society can lead to employment. Employment is merely a side-effect of productivity, which is what we should be targeting. We don't have to be fixated on manufacturing if we don't have the infrastructure for that yet. We have to start from where we are today, which is better than many other developing countries, and progress pragmatically.

bohboh275: The op changed the info i guess some people on here just want attention and they would do anything to get it even if it is posting false info. Here is a picture attachment of what is on wiki.

The OP wasn't lying. Someone fixed the page after it was posted. Check the link up there

Rogbese: The one thing that bothers me is the new search engine. Before, you were presented with a results list that you could then chose from. Now? Everything is pre loaded! If you search for cars you will be given multiple results of the same thing with all the images loaded multiple times. For those browsing on mobile, that's a hefty price to pay.

Yikes. We can hide the attachments on mobile phones if that's what people need.

Azibalua: Pls can some of us use the former version
This can still be in existence, for those who like it

Unfortunately, this is all but impossible. The former version runs on a different programming language (PHP) and has a different database structure. We will do our best to make this one more lovable. Many apologies about the shock and inconvenience of the sudden switch.

Too cheap. :-)

Why must we attract manufacturing companies? There are many many classes of industry in the world. If manufacturing is not attractive, let's look into other areas. Where our government is clearly failing, let's put pressure on them, but let's also be focused on doing what we can do without the government's cooperation.

How about a safety tips thread? If you share your safety tips on a thread, I'll put it on the home page.

It's not yet really implemented. You can unfollow a topic if you're no longer interested in it.

We cannot revert to the old forum. It uses a completely different database, which is incompatible with the version we switched to. It's technically very hard to do and it would result in an inferior mobile experience. Our only option is to continue to keep tweaking this one until it looks right.

Dear Nairalanders,

I have to apologize about the intermittent errors we've been experiencing since we switched to the New Nairaland script. When making the switch, my estimate was that we would lose about 20% of our traffic on the short term, and hopefully gain all it back in a month or so, and I was prepared to take that risk.

However, I never expected that we'd have issues with site uptime as a result of the switch. Most of the issues have been as a result of bugs pushed by me in the middle of the night when my faculties were not working optimally. I think we'd be lucky not to lose 40% or more of our traffic if this keeps happening.

I hereby apologize to Nairalanders for these errors of mine. I want to assure you that my programming partner and I are doing our best to deliver a world class "New Nairaland" experience to you. Our ultimate goal is to make New Nairaland better than Old Nairaland, in every way, within a month.

Thanks a million for your understanding.

I'm overwhelmed.

We're going to address most of your requests by the next weekend. Currently dealing with performance.

Instead of complaining about what we don't have in Nigeria let's concentrate on doing what we can do with what we have. Every country in the world lacks one thing or the other.

Original?

Thanks.

fashoga: @seun...please what happened 2 Nairalist!

We'll get back to it soon enough. Nairalist will thrive again in the future.

FXKing2012: I dont know abt mobile users but it's just not it on my laptop. It's less attractive and finding posts is straining to the eyes. I cant afford to spend as much time as I used to cos this is torturous.

I'm at a loss about what to do about the colors. Should I make the colors darker?

eghost247: and please if anything bring back updated topics.

Followed is almost exactly like Updated Topics, but more flexible.

bigx: Terrible, Honestly.
It looks like its being optimized to load faster but
1.) The colours hurt my eyes
2.) The fonts are too small
3.) Everything looks disorganized...

I'm off here

Which phone and which browser are you using? We'll find a way to make the fonts larger if necessary.

[quote author=ekt_bear]Looks like no preview button anymore also?[/quote]It seemed rather redundant since you can just edit your post if you notice a mistake.

maclatunji: Does this mean the old nairaland is dead and buried? What next for Nairaland after this?

We'll be trying out new features regularly, and keeping the good ones. Because we wrote the software ourselves, we understand it very well and can add new features at will without having to worry about breaking backward compatibility.

maclatunji: Does this mean the old nairaland is dead and buried? What next for Nairaland after this?

We'll be able to add new features on a weekly basis, because this code is truly ours.

pDude: It sucks. Has no html view. Seems I'm gonna be visiting here less often

Can you explain what you mean by HTML view? The new site is designed to look good on laptops and phones.
