The problem I have with yours is (1) Windows Vista (2) I don't know whether it's new or used.

There's this company that's selling refurbished laptops. They are cheap but I wonder about the battery life.

Let's see your picture so we can recognize you on TV. That your pay is small; hope you can supplement it. Cheers.

Everything Internet in this country has been private sector driven.

The only thing we tried to do politically - the .NG domain name - as continued to languish - like NEPA!

The SAT-3 fiber optic link is the same story. So many promises, no delivery.

Let's beg these civil servants and politicians to stop trying to help us, because they are jinxed!

The question is "can you describe your job"?

jesusfreak:
does this mean the relationship is doomed because he's never even given me a gift

I think your relationship is doomed because you are more materialistic than your boyfriend. There's nothing wrong with being materialistic, but you should be with someone who holds the same values otherwise:

i don't want to bring up the issue with him because it always leads to some hot argument about how i don't understand him

If you don't understand each other, and you don't hold similar values, then your relationship is doomed, sister.

I think you can date your uncle's wife's niece. (Your uncle's wife is not your aunt.)

Here is my reaction:

1) If you don't like the buka food, and that's all he has, then you should buy your own food on the way to his house.

2) If you are a trendy babe who likes to spend money, and he's a frugal and conservative guy, that's a bad sign!

I don't really feel I've been bashed, neither do I feel I'm going to have any difficulty recruiting intelligent partners.
The sort of person who will say, "everybody bashes Seun so I can't join him" is not my type of person anyway!

I appreciate your informative comments. Is there any one else who's interested in answering the question? Thanks!

If begging is a professional job, is it a decent job?

One man's meat is another man's poison. The religion of Islam encourages people to give to beggars, and that's ok.
People should be allowed to do whatever jobs they want to do, provided they are not harming others substantially.

The governor should be judged based on the presence of thieves, murderers, sexual assaulters, kidnappers, etc.

they will prefer a better life if offered.

You will be surprised to learn that most of them would still prefer to beg, because they make a lot of money from it.

@jesusfreak: Never be ashamed to share your ideas. No non-violent opinion is outdated as far as I'm concerned.

I'll try to make the error message more explanatory. Actually, the result you get depends on the load.

Why can't you just tell us the name of the place so others won't fall into the same trap? People are so annoying.

If the need is so great, then why have large ISPs like Multilinks and Starcomms not started connecting to each other directly using simple routers and cost-effective WAN technology, without the IXP?

I don't believe in political solutions because soon, they will be trying to force us to patronize them, which is wrong.

What's the point of a two-party system if an individual can run as an independent candidate? People are argh!!

and will force the Nigerian web community to develop faster

The Nigerian web community is not interested in any form of government coercion. The IXP can go to hell.
In case you haven't noticed, Internet users in Nigeria have not been asking for a local internet exchange.
Information Technology is not about Politics, it's about solving real problems that people want to pay for.

I will read the article later in the day.

Instead of the expected Chelsea versus Manchester United Champions league final,
we have one between AC Milan and Liverpool. How do you think it's going to end?

"I now realise that women were not created to be equal with men" - HI5 girl, after being bullied into submission.

It really pains me when I'm listening to the news and I hear a so-called expert recommending a two-party system for Nigeria. Apparently, it's a good idea because it will make the presidential debate less confusing.

Why are people so stupid? The whole point of democracy is the freedom to choose a leader. When that freedom is restricted in any way, it makes life very easy for corrupt and power-hungry despots.

If there are just two parties, and the two parties are controlled by corrupt people, what will we be able to do? If you have good ideas on how to best serve your country, state, or local government area, why should you be forced to join a party whose policies may not agree with yours? Why should you be forced to join a gang of rogues?

People calling for a two-party system because it makes voting easier should be careful lest they get it. It is like asking the government to shut down all phone companies except just two so it will be easier to choose which network to join. How stupid. (the last two companies will be very happy because it means much less competition).

The perceived success of June 12 is one reason why such 'experts' are not being laughed at, but don't forget that we only voted for MKO Abiola because we wanted the military to leave at all costs. He was very corrupt.

Some people are saying that the two party system is ideal because most small parties are filled with crooks. This is consolidation mentality singing, and as usual it's a wrong tune. Isn't it our duty as voters to vote against crooks? Isn't it the duty of INEC to screen criminals? And who says there are no crooks in PDP, the leading party?

On the issue of making the presidential debate less confusing, it's a simple matter of picking only the top candidates for the main debate! For example, in the presidential debate, the TV station organizing it could have picked Yar'adua, Atiku, and Kalu alone, depending on the candidates their viewers would like to see. It's not an INEC matter!

On the other hand, I might be wrong. Can you share your opinion on this matter, please?

[quote author="TEE ZERO"]Essentially, what you guys have pointed out is that there are opportunities for Nigerians[/quote]Exactly. All those crying "job", "job" should realize that this is "job" too and get cracking before we Microsoft the market!

babyosisi: Personally I wish someone who could go and do my job daily and I'll pay them a pecentage of my salary!

Sister, you must be in the wrong job. The whole point of this topic is to give you more time to do your job!

if only there was a way someone else could read for you!

There is. You could hire someone to read a complicated text for you and then break it down for you in simpler terms.

do my PC work for me.

You mean things like software installation, dealing with viruses and worms, et cetera. That's definitely a big need.

Any more contributions? I'm sure there must be something you wish someone else would do for you. Yes, you!

@temmyabby: you definitely have the look. Wishing you the best. But it's a hyper-competitive and risky career.

It's just satire.

Can you post some articles and pictures from your magazine?

Speaking as a guy, I don't think she's particularly beautiful. Sorry. She looks too artificial, like a breakable doll.

work as a shrink in dublin.sick and tired of oyinbos telling me they want to kill themselves because of stress like quarrel with partner(can u imagine?!!)i sometimes feel like telling them 2 visit Nigeria and find out the definition of stress.sometimes you just pity them seeing people addicted to heroin as young as 15-16 years.

Since you don't have patience and respect for your patients, you should not be a shrink. Please resign quickly.

As long as so many women are willing to open their legs to men that think they are house girls, nothing will change.

Women should stop marrying domineering men. By age 60 when they are unable to get married, they will change.

Wow, we are making progress. Let's have more responses, please.

Here's another: I wish someone could do most of the moderation for me. Removing spam, re-categorizing posts.

Hehe. Well there's nothing really to cry about in 300. The Spartans were brutes; no one sheds tears for brutes!

It's a lottery. You probably won't win. Accept it!
