Men who stand by their words even when they are clearly wrong are not to be respected. They are to be despised because they are the ones responsible for most of the problems in the world today. Shame on them!

And please stop comparing it to male circumcision. While I don't really think male circumcision is compulsory, it has not been observed to lead to any harmful effects in men, and in fact it's been seen to have some mild good effects such as reducing the rate of HIV transmission. Female circumcision, on the other hand, has no positive effects whatsoever and harms a very good percentage of the victims of the procedure. Yes, some of them are lucky to have been mutilated in a minimal way that leads to few sexual problems, but what about those aren't so lucky?

The best answer was given by IAH in a previous discussion: even if there are no effects, why must you cut it? Do you want to eat it? Unfortunately, the reality is that there are many bad after-effects, so this is an evil practice.

infringement on the fundamental human rights of the practitioners of female circumcision

What about the fundamental human rights of the innocent victims of this practice? If a woman willingly submits her vagina to be torn with a razor blade, I have no problem with that. However, when young baby girls are given no choice in the matter leading to not being able to enjoy sex with their husbands later in life, the people responsible should be thrown in jail. That is the only way to solve this problem. Robbers have no 'human rights' to steal!

Oh, stop that! The true picture of Nigeria is not something you can read in any UN report. It's something that you have to experience by coming back home. Stop 'weeping' over nothing. Nigerians in Nigeria are not 'weeping'.

Actually, he's right: I'm great!

People don't commit suicide because of anti-depressants. They commit suicide because of depression, duh!

Send me the patches and I'll incorporate them. Failing that, you should choose a name without spaces.

The 20 naira note is equivalent to a 2000 naira note, so it definitely won't reduce inflation.
If it was that easy, don't you think developed countries will be doing it every year or two?

Omo Eko's username has a space in it. The other guy just registered a username with two spaces.
The two are difficult to differentiate because double spaces are converted to single spaces by the browser!

I have figured out the secret of ghanaweb.com and the way I'm going to defend myself from the pending attack!

As for the sites that are merely clones of Nairaland, here is the best and most intelligent one: www.

Yes, and I think I need someone to help me deal with her. I think she's obsessed with me:

Seun,
I heard you were a bat, now I am convinced. I can see your hacking
skills still lack some much needed enhancement( like your sick asshole)

So you really believed I have time to write you from multi emails? You
asshole, this has been the one and ONLY email addy I have uses for
years.

Your asshole has been busted. Now stop making a mockery of yourself and
repent. Everyone knows you are guilty as charged. Yesterday you
blatantly lied that You NEVER received any com0plaints regarding fake
usernames. You further asked for links.

Sadly when the links were provided to you, you banned the young lady for
doing so and further threatened to ban another who simply questioned
your integrity.

You should shoot your father with shit. He is responsible for you
growing into a useless human being.

Look around you, I don't have a thing to lose asswax. I will torment you
until you learn NEVER to mess with me again.

Seun Osewa, you will be hearing from the FEDs and the EFCC very soon,
Your yahoo yahoo yahoo boy,

PS, I can't wait for you to post this one on NL as well. Remmeber you
also stated you never received any mails from us? Well I am so happy you
are now somehow receiving them now, laughing as I continue sipping on
my shake,
,
I cannot get along either with those who shun the blunt truth, or those
who make their peace with it too easily!!!
, Lesleen Barbour-Jack,

Where did you copy this from? A link to the source or it will be deleted. Thanks a million.

You need to post the source of this article, otherwise it will be deleted.

I don't intend to fall "head over heels" in love with anyone on or off Nairaland, but I'm impressed by a few people:
- mukina2 for being reliable and consistent in adding value to the forum - I really like reliable people.
- Razorr and Gamine for being so funny and dynamic - I would date them just for fun, not seriously.
- naijacuttee and diboyw for launching various ventures - not being content with a 'supporting' role in life.

@Adeniyi G: Thanks; I'm glad you found my comments useful. Hope to use your software someday and vice versa!

I envy people like Linux Torvalds (for Linux) and Richard Stallman (eMacs). Their code is their lasting legacy.

You guys don't know what democracy is all about. Democracy is about not allowing people in power to act as despots. The idea of allowing politicians to do what they like without criticism is retrogressive and idiotic.

Thanks

Actually, it's just one person - a girl - operating with multiple email addresses.

This re-denomination exercise is nothing more than a distraction. That's the way I'm treating it.

Here's another:

SEUN OSEWA,

I have noted the way and manner in which you handle your site called nairaland, over the years, I have noted the obnoxious and foul rotten thinking of you and all what you do with your site. Noted that nairaland has no tax been paid whatsoever and dubious people make use of it to swindle people off. All this are backed with evidence. I note as well the failed negotiations deals you had with a bank over some of the issues you will be meeting in court. Be ready not all random idiots as stated by you are who they really are.

Members of your forum complain of spam emails and all what sorts on their emails. I have also noted that nairaland.com has become the breeding ground of fraudsters and dubious minded people. I also take into consideration all what you did in the forum games with the username Omo Eko, Islander, Maree7, Havila, and various other respected members of that forum. I also note that pornography is a delight to watch on your forum and trading of insults is your delight there.

I have been told you suffer from an egocentric attitude over the years. As a result of that and various other reasons I wish not to state here but include as evidence in submission both to the EFCC and the FBI internet crime department, I am going to formally lodge a complaint and raise a public enlightment as to the fake person you really are, and the disaster nairaland.com is doing.

You are a hacker, and Nairaland is a breeding ground for thieves. See you in court soon, for breach of privacy.

Also in the nearest future, if you are thinking of opening a site, please do a psychological test for members registering but note it must start with you first.

Another raving lunatic. Apparently, I'm being accused of 'hacking' my own forum. Wtf?

subject Who laughs last,

So Mr. Scumbag,
I see the heat was getting too much for you so you thought by banning me
that you would save your dejected ass? LOL, well think again, I am one
human that should NEVER be messed with, you don't believe me, ask the
dead bitch who tried glancing at my bf,

Now I have all the dirt on you to sink your ass. I have already lodged a
complaint with the Federal Bereau of Investigation and the ICC.
Nairalanders have foolded my emails attempting to engage in fraudalent
activities with me on an dailky basis. According to the local adds here
directed against Nigerians " if you see something, say something" and I
have done just that.

You are a hacker, iGod knows what other things you are involved in. You
are sick a product of abuse. Your depraved sexual fantasies would surely
land you in prison. I suggest you see help and do so real quick.

I have taken off a week from work, to ensure that everything in my
powers is done to ensure that NL is permanently close down and you sEun
see prison. I suggest you begin learning how to drive an Okada,
sinceyou have no college degree that's the only job you would be able to
master.

Look dummy, you may run, but you can't hide. You claim to be a
non-believer, you need Jesus. Only a demented sick bastard would stoop
so lopw as to do what you did. You were the one who deframed an innocent
girl's reputation then blamed on your sidekick Sisimose( serves her
well).

Seun Osewa, you are an epitome of uselessness, unproductivity and under
achievement. You will pay for all your sins. I promise you that I will
ensure that you nor your children, nor grand children, nor great great
grandchildren amount to anything.

Remember, never to trust anyone behind a computer, since you never
know, let me show you the powers that I have, I enjoyed making the
masses there think I am crazy. It was all a part of my cover. You are
going DOWNNNNNNNNN,

PS, Make sure you paste this on NL, I want everyone to see, And to
know what they are dealing with, you slimy PIG,

The best way to punish an anonymous web troublemaker is to expose his identity.

By the way Omo Eko is also a goner. debosky is next. have a nice day!

@prodgalson:
The easiest way is to just read the sources of a toy http server like the one that's shipped with Python.

Threaded servers are so easy to write compared to event-driven servers. The problem with them is that, unlike an event-driven server that just maintains a few variables for each open connection, a threaded server dedicates a different thread to each connection. You can get good performance from a threaded server, but you basically have to disable the HTTP/1.1 keepalive feature to avoid getting threads tied up by slow clients. However, switching off the HTTP/1.1 keepalive feature limits the percieved speed of your site, and that's just not optimal. (One of the first things you learn when tuning apache is to reduce the keepalive timeout to a useless 3-5 seconds)

You can gain the best of both worlds by putting an event driven 'reverse proxy server' with HTTP/1.1 support (ngnx, lighttpd, varnish, or even squid) in front of your threaded server. That's the sort of system I'm using for this site. But it's not a very pretty solution. A simple http request shouldn't have to suffer the latency of 2 servers!

So yesterday I tried once more to write a simple event-driven server (a cache server, not an http server). My brain didn't explode this time, but it almost did. Debugging is a such nightmare! It sort of worked - I was able to retrieve 30,000 tiny cache entries per second this machine - but it's not as fast as I expect it to be. I've decided to use the filesystem for caching in my future http server designs. Fast file access on a RAM Disk, yay!

She's a goner

What about biodiesel production? I'm sure we can find a lot of dung in Nigeria to turn into fuel. Let's try that.

I was only trying to protect your privacy, but it seems you don't care.
