Thanks, zaragoza. The reason for the separate site is that Nairalist works a bit differently: it's location oriented.

Today I implemented a RSS feed for the junkies who want to keep on top of the markets:
http://feeds2.feedburner.com/nairalist <-- please subscribe!

I also simplified the captcha to make it easier for newbies and people who use glasses, heh.

Now I'm ready to respond to all the suggestions on this thread that I may have missed.

Is is not a music/radio question?

Moved. Still interested?

Because science and reasoning lead to enlightenment, and people start to question religious leaders.

Maybe it's genetic?  Ask your dad if he had such a problem when he was your age.

I don't get it. Are there no gold accessories?

The only rebranding Nigeria needs is for Nigerians to stop doing those bad things that we are known for.

What's the difference between the old one and the new one?

Hello,

Has this position been filled? If not, you might want to post on Nairalist. it's spam free.

Seun.

Good. But I think ten years is excessive.

Give them 1 year for stigmatization and 5 years if there was any physical abuse involved.

Would you say MTN is better than Starcomms?

there have been previous reports/rumours of him mishandling women

Hmmm, Chris Brown or whatever you call yourself, don't you dare touch our Rihanna!

Moderators, didn't I say adverts should not be moved to the recycle bin?

The site isn't going to be solely for/restricted to Naija's geography alone, is it?
It does appear to be the case at the mo.
Please advise

We have an overseas section now.

I am wondering if webmasters like me will be able to pull feeds from there or something that can add value-added services for our clients,

Can you explain some of the places you might want to put the feed? Blogs?

I would suggest that the site should not be flooded with heavy graphic that would make loading slow.

That was one of my primary goals. Don't worry, it will remain as fast as it is now for as long as possible.

Please, this thread is about Nairalist: http://www.nairalist.com/ Starting such a site is about expertise.

How many ads have you placed on Nairalist so far?

Okay. When we climb out of poverty, we will think about it. There are bigger frauds around.

Sorry about the delay. We are still investigating your business. It seems to be kind-of spam prone. What do people use Liberty Reserve for.

Yes, it's rude in the company of friends, but if you're in a public place, strangers aren't supposed to be listening to your private conversations in the first place.

Post it on Nairalist, man.

Sir, if you have a better solution, let me know. 
Anybody can say "this should be done", "that should be done",
because talk is cheap!  But in practice it is not that easy. 

If you think you can moderate the Nairaland job section, let me know. 
After 5 minutes you will understand why I've decided to "run".

I have worked very hard on Nairalist and I'm proud of what it is:

Sorry about your parents. I don't blame your mum for reacting to your dad's abuse by being overprotective, though.

Never make sacrifices for love.
