Well, amayo, I'm interested in running the sort of company you want to work for, but trust is the problem.

jaybaby, why are you asking such a question? Am I not undeniably sexy-sexy?

ihujumbo, if your husband keeps you locked up at home, that's serious. I'm sorry you were misjudged.

looking at the array of software talents we have(above),

I'm afraid I'm no longer one of them. I'm not patient enough to write a program if I can't see money flowing in.

why don't we get together and do some open source stuff to tackle software problems basically in Nigeria

The way to benefit from open source software is to use and customise free software packages that already exist. Just go to www.sourceforge.net and www.freshmeat.net and download to your heart's content.

Ok, he's given me the details, and I admire his zeal but I feel he may be travelling in the wrong direction.

Aww. Dogs are really man's best friend.

Not all, but most. More than 50%.

babaearly sounds like a Jehovah's witness. Otherwise he would have said "God the Father" instead of Jehovah.

You bought the machine without knowing what it's for? So sad to hear that.
This section of the forum is full of ideas, anyway. Just search: www.nairaland.com/nigeria/action-search

I also have ideas, many of which are "great" ideas, but I know that what I need is the right idea.
The right idea may not be great, but it would be an idea I can act upon with my limited resources and succeed.

Right now, Yoruba, Igbo and Hausa are all the same - they all go there to take our money.

That is why we need to limit our government so there'll not be so much money for them to steal. Privatization!

I have the right to be autocratic because the forum belongs to me. On the other hand, Nigeria does not belong to Obasanjo or Abacha, so there's a big difference. I'm not very good at making people realise how right I am.

Oh, come on, akinlabi. You can't possibly believe that you are the first to come up with this simple idea.

Gay men are not necessarily more sensitive or feminine than straight men like handsome me.

The guys kidnapping expatriates down here are all criminals!

Exactly. I wonder why people like to politicise common crimes like murder and kidnapping.

A lot of people are quick to abuse all Niger Deltans. I guess it's the same thing when foreigners see all nigerians as 419ers. It's the cross they have to carry until the system is cleansed.

Exactly. I'd like to apologize on behalf of these well-meaning but mistaken people.

He might still be 'friends' with his ex but do you think he'll want to marry her?

It could be that the lady is his insurance policy in case his long distance relationship doesn't work.
But seriously, should a man have to completely abandon all his female friends because of marriage?

Ok, I agree with others that you should ask him why. Also, ask yourself whether the two of you are compatible.

All this trouble because we are afraid of privatization? We human beings can be quite irrational!

A well-executed clone of West African Idol is much better than a boring musical show that happens to be "original". If I want to copy a reality tv show, West African Idol will be it! So, I think this show will be successful.

Actually, Adam also had anal sex with the devil. Satan is bisexual, you see.

If you have any doubts whatsoever about your upcoming wedding, then you must postpone it.
Marriage is not something you can jump into and jump out of easily, especially as a Nigerian woman. I say postpone.
That is not to say that your fiance is at fault, but you must be convinced beyond any reasonable doubt,

Hehe. What do you have against poor bank PHB?

Isn't Basketball rather complicated? There are rules about how long you can stand at a spot, how many steps you can take, when you are allowed to intercept the ball in the air, et cetera. How can one just have fun playing it?

I'm not yet a basketball fan. The only interesting matches are the[b] very close[/b] ones (101-99, 75-74!)

What happened? Did our boys win?

My soccer-crazy Nigerian friend says basketball is more boring than even table-tennis! I wonder if this is true!

What about you, Oga McRen? Oya, contribute!

Investors will need to know how many spectators your club matches are able to draw, the resulting revenues based on ticket prices, the cost of renting the stadium for a match, and the total cost of sponsorship.

What's their website address (since they are big on the net)?

You can't design a site on your phone as far as I know, but you can design a wap site for your phone.
Search the Internet for 'wap 2.0 tutorial' and come back if you don't find something good.

Intriguing article. It argues that computer programming sucks because of the following reasons:
- Temporary nature of knowledge capital: you always have to learn new things to remain competitive.
- The low prestige of a career in computer programming.
- The foreignization of computer programming (this point actually favors people in delevoping coutries)
- Project management sucks too: even when you are promoted, it still doesn't get better.
- The working conditions suck: I don't know, but I think air-conditioned server/coding rooms are pretty ok!
