You dislike your parents?

Eyah. Pele. If a relationship is no longer mutually beneficial, a break-up is merely a path to better relationship.

If you think democracy is bad, try dictatorship. This thread fails.

Hehe. Our former president is a very funny character, isn't he?

The same lead actor and lead actress? Wow! Are these actors the Genevieve Nnaji and Ramsey Nouah of Mexico?

Monitor the Job section and apply for any job you think you're qualified for. Also, try to develop your mind.

What is the source of this story?

Thanks for accepting the correction. Every page on the internet can be "number one" on Google on obscure terms.

Hmm, she recovered completely. Implication: it's not deadly. It's just another annoying statistic for doctors.

No. What you're actually saying is that Microsoft should stagnate.

Listening comes first. Then observation of your customer is next. Products are supposed to respond to demand.
That's how Microsoft got to where they are today, and nothing else can take them forward. It's boring, but true.
Innovation must be in line with human needs. It's a waste of time to try to make people want something they don't.

If they kept churning out OS versions every 4 years, how will they keep on top?

That's how they have been keeping on top since the 80s. Giving us what we want: an OS that works pretty well.

if Google has 'listened to their consumers' and remained a search engine company,

When did Google stop being search engine company? Search is their primary technology. They can never neglect it.

how would they have emerged as a pretty serious threat to MS?

Google is not a serious threat to MS. Why? They do not make operating systems or office applications.
Google and Apple are threats to Microsoft only in the imagination of over-excitable technology reporters!

Hence Microsoft delving into new markets, with new technology.

For a market to exist, there must be a demand. Microsoft should focus on their customers. They are the 'markets'!

In 2001 when Apple announced plans to release a line of mp3 players called the 'ipod', shareholders revolted

I don't know how true this is, but one thing is certain. The people experienced the Ipod did not revolt against it!
The same is not true of this "surface" (and 'tablet' junk). People are very happy with their desktops and laptops!

He will do well as a pastor. Politicians and preachers are birds of the same feather: absolutely trustworthy!

Just busy trying to launch a new site. Sorry guys, I know my moderation duties have been piling up.

You missed my sarcasm, actually.

They are bad. Lots of complaints. Be careful not to part with your money.

Do you think she has the qualification and political might to hold such a sensitive position? I don't.

If she does not have the 'political might' to hold such a position, then how did she get chosen? You can become the speaker of the house without qualifications, but you can't get there without political clout!

I am an advocate for gender balance but i believe

What is it with women in Nigeria? Why must there be a "BUT" in your story? Why can't you just support each other?

a beautician and posses a diploma in Law | Do you think she has the qualification

Did President Obasanjo have a diploma in Law? Have you bothered to research the former speakers?
Mrs. Etteh is no longer a beautician, by the way. She has been in the house of representatives for 4 years.

I think she was put there to be a stooge, What do you think?

I think you're only saying this because she is a woman. All politicians are 'stooges' in one way or the other.

What is the nature of your business? Don't think about what you 'need' but what they need:
1) What lenders want - as much interest as possible (with full repayment).
2) What investors want - as much profit as possible.

Investors are slightly preferable to lenders because their long term interest will be in line with yours. Whereas, a lender's dream client is a client that keeps extending the loan and paying compound interest forever and ever!

We cannot go far if the government does not make Education her number one priority

There is no "we". There is "me", there is "you", and there's "them".
I will go far whether the government likes it or not! Will you choose to do the same?

What exactly are your agents going to be selling? A true businessman never hides his business!

Super heroes don't have to be Nigerian or African.
Whatever you come up with, just make sure it's something Nigerians can appreciate.

Nairaland is also number 1 on google! http://www.google.com/search?q=www.nairaland.com

I really don't want us to talk about rape and other violent crimes. Although talking about 419 is ok.

It's no longer excellent. They are running the entire episodes in slow motion now. It's too annoying.

I need a nurturing habitat where I can be rewarded for being myself.

There was no Eve and there was no apple. If anyone is to blame for that story, it's the man who thought it up.
