It probably means "the ruling clown!"

He's half Isreali/half Yoruba. Where I come from, you take on your father's family line, I'm sure it's the same thing with the Yorubas.

Whee I come from, we would say Ramsey Nouah is half-Isreali and half Yoruba. "Half caste" as some would say.

Ramsey's mum is yoruba,from Owo,Ondo State, dad is Isreali(I don't think son and dad ever met though),born and bred in Lag,speaks Yoruba fluently.

His mum is Yoruba. He was born and bred in Yorubaland. He speaks Yoruba fluently. How is he not Yoruba?

You're a woman. That emotional roller-coaster ride of yours is only natural.

Alas, I just don't have the time to manage the increased activity that new users will bring.

The Idiagbon regime may have succeeded in changing our mindset for the better

He would only have succeeded in killing all those who dare to oppose him. Progress isn't something you impose.

Hehe. Celebrities are over-rated. When I make my movies, I will promote the writers above the actors.

You're very welcome!

Jasiel, what do you want to know abou criminology?

We all agree that the customer is king. The question is "who is the customer?"

Perhaps it's because Yorubas understand the Yoruba language better than Nigerians understand English.

Brother laylala, do you disagree with my argument (in a respectable manner)?

Hehe.

No, I've not. Trying to preserve funds for the expensive movie-making I'm going into.

Guys, guys,

I can come up with more interesting story ideas than what you've been sending me.
What I can't do is turn a story idea into a complete script.
Perhaps I should treat your submissions as writing samples and hire you to turn my ideas into scripts?

Buhaha.

It makes business sense for a show to be moved to a black-oriented channel if most viewers are black.

This man.

What is a "proper" lady? Please, don't discourage them, I'm waiting for someone to "ogle" me!

It's not that simple. The people of Iraq were not free to decide on what type of government they wanted. You seem to be forgetting how dictators operate. Anyone making noise about a new government is simply executed.

About China, read this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiananmen_Square_protests_of_1989 (a massacre)

Original action and adventure stories are very rare in Nollywood, and therefore precious.
For that reason, I would like to encourage you to develop your ideas into a 60-140 minute script.
I can help you develop your idea into a marketable form if you contact me before you start writing.
It's not that easy to write a good movie script, however. You need to be really dedicated to writing!

That's a laptop, right? You'll need the CD that came with the laptop.

That is only true when the customer is buying a product for someone else to consume. For example, if a mother buys a book for her child, she will want the child to enjoy it. You satisfy the child directly to satisfy the mother indirectly.

For advert-supported services, the situation is much more complicated. The viewers consume your programming, but what the advertisers (customers) consume is the attention of those users. Advertisers do not sponsor TV shows so that viewers will enjoy them. They sponsor TV shows so that you will see their ads. That's what they care about.

You do not have to maximise the satisfaction of the consumer of an ad-supported service in order to maximize your revenue. You only have to satisfy them [i]better than the alternative [/i]ad-supported services they could be consuming. Example: Nairaland doesn't have to maximise its users' happiness. It only needs to be better than other forums.

If your ad-supported service is better than others, you'll get lots of traffic to sell your customers. Advertisers don't indirectly consume services they sponsor. They directly consume attention (clicks, impressions) for their products.

If you have an idea for a story that you want to develop, please email me so we'll be able to make sure the idea is a marketable one. You don't want to spend several weeks writing a script only to be told that the premise is bad.

I think a customer is always consuming something direcly or indirectly. My customers consume web traffic.

I never managed to complete a story. I don't have the patience of a dedicated writer.
