Hmmm. most companies probably won't accept this?

Nope.

If 12,000 children died during a meningitis epidemic, is it not meningitis that killed them?

Even female US soldiers are regularly raped by their male counterparts. War is an evil thing.

Calm down. All you need is an inverter. You can get one for between 14,000 naira and 30,000 naira. You might also want to get a 650Va generator for about 15,000 naira and buy fuel when you need the power. If all you need is light, use rechargeable lamps and candles. Good luck. You're not the only one facing this problem, so calm down my man. When you work hard and have lots of money, you can begin to change things. For now, just use a generator or inverter.

Does it cover Sango Ota?

Any updates on this show? Sounds like it might be a bit different from the usual.

I was telling a friend of mine that I might have to move to Lagos to setup my video studio, even though I'm based in the sleepy town of Sango Ota. This is because every talented Nigerian seems to live and work in Lagos. Anything you need, you can find there.

My friend reminded me that Lagos is a noisy town and the noise might interfere with my TV recordings, which is true. Which factor would you say is more important? Can I really convince talented Lagosians work in Sango Ota, or can I 'manage' the talents in my sleepy town?

Which Nigerian city in particular would you choose for your studio, and why? What about the costs?

Thanks!

For movies, I think it's the video censors board: www.nfvcb.gov.ng/

For TV, I know about ITPAN but I don't know whether they register TV show titles.

(For a web-only series, I guess one only needs to worry about the domain name.)

Hello,

I've been reluctant to name my projects out of fear that someone else will think the name I chose is cool and slap it on his project. What can one do to reserve the name of a movie or TV show that is still under development so one can start hyping it publicly? In Nigeria?

Regards,

I'm yet to figure out how those youtube video units work.
I'll check them out. Sounds like an inferior adsense though.

You have to register a domain name with an ISP

It's a big mistake to register your domain name with your ISP or web host. It will be held hostage if you try to leave them. instead, register it with a dedicated domain name registrar.

That is why you should not pollute the thread with worthless posts. As for me, I'm looking for Thelma Duke.

Who wants to produce a theme song for my sitcom?

Love is not all that it's imagined to be, so please fall out of this love you're in.

@Adeolu2000: Please do; some of us might just be in the mood to buy our first television sets.

Jesus was not an African, if that's what you're asking.
If you care about that, you should acquire an African religion.

In this case, public education is the responsibility of the government (public sector), and that cannot be changed.

Fortunately for Nigeria, you're wrong. The status quo can be changed. The government can turn the universities into public corporations and sell shares to the general public. I'm dying to buy shares in UNILAG PLC.

so who wants to marry me?

Thanks, guys & gal. I've learnt some things.

Tell us more about it. I'm desperate for broadband right now.

uf4oma:
It's not only starcomms that has problems. My friend uses multilinks or one of these other ones and throughout last week, I had to keep checking some things for her on gumtree.com because she couldn't open their site. Even when she went to a cyber cafe, it was the same problem. At home, in the office, at the cybercafe she could not open this particular site.

I think gumtree blocks all Nigerian traffic. Craigslist used to do that too. It's because of those scammers.

Interesting. Moved to advert section.

There are lots of white people in South Africa. Most of the 'tourists' may be related to them?

Today I invited some friends into my room, which is a rare event for me, but then he commented about the untidy state of the room just after asking for a favor and so I said "no" to his request and threw him out. And then I went straight to sleep.

My question is "why"? Why did he feel the need to criticize my room even though he knew my likely reaction? Why couldn't he stifle himself at least until he got what he wanted from me first? And why did I react with as much anger as I did, despite the fact that I'm not supposed to care at all?

When someone accuses me of being an "atheist" as if it's a crime, I just smile and explain to the person that I am right and he is wrong and that is all there is to it. When someone calls me a loner, I'm amused and I make the person understand that I'm just trying to avoid people like him.

But when someone calls me a dropout, or accuses me of being untidy, my blood boils. Why is this? I mean, if I don't care about having a degree enough to go back to school to get one, why am I upset when someone reminds me that i don't have one. And if I don't care about tidiness enough to keep my living environment tidy, why am I upset when someone criticizes me about it?

Also, I stopped talking to someone recently for saying I'm yet to produce my first movie at a bad time. When I told him the same applies to him, he just laughed and called me "oversensitive". So I've stopped talking to him. Why? Why do people call me oversensitive and why does it make me even more angry? Also, Razorr woke up one day to tell me that Nairaland is "a junkyard" or something. Why was she surprised when I decided to ban her? Did she not expect this? If not, am I just calibrated differently? If so, why did she feel compelled to say such a thing?

And why am I not upset about other things I get criticized for just as regularly? I really want to know.

How did you guys get the Starcomms data card? Did you have to go to their head office?

South Africa is the worst. What a pity.

Nigerian programmers are as good as NEPA allows them to be.

Those suicidal youths need anti-depressants, I guess.

If I'm working, then it's not a vacation. I may as well stay at home and eat ice cream and chicken on Xmas day.
