What "conscience" does Okotie have? Wasn't he the one who [b]lied [/b]that GOd promised him the last election?

you are making calls everywhere in Nigeria today who else OBJ.

How many telecom masts did president Obasanjo erect? How many mobile phones did he import? How many TV adverts did he create for the telecom companies? How many recharge cards did he print?

Please, people, the credit for the telecom revolution belong to the people that actually made it happen. The entrepreneurs, engineers, technicians, and customer service people. Not the politicians!

Politicians have a very limited role in technological development - they bully innovators and collect their money.

The Computer Village at Ikeja.

Nairaland has gone comercial, but our customer is the Google Advertising Network. See this explanation.

Remain in your father's house.

Snazzydawn, that is so sexist of you. Must a woman stay in a man's house? Why can't she stay in her own house?

If you cannot change your maiden name to your husband's, then you might as well not marry.

Is it the name that makes you a married woman, or the companionship that lasts a lifetime?

No matter how much electricity is generated, if many people are getting it for free, it will never be enough.

The ones you'll find are those who want to help you spend the wealth generated by your business dynasty.

I don't want to slap any living politician.

You said democracy brings economic prosperity.

That's a false accusation. I did not say any such thing. Entrepreneurship is what brings properity.

[quote author=gbade. x link=topic=31224.msg717202#msg717202 date=1164241357]I think God allows evil to prove his Omnipotent and Omniscient nature, and also the prevailing of good over evil in the end. I also think He allows it, so we can make the right choices we were created for. We were created for good. Evil is a negate of good. Note, making choices says something about our freewill. I guess He also allows it so we can exercise our freewill and not just be robots.[/quote]Our freewill is not absolute. For example God has not given us the ability to do things that are contrary to the laws of nature at will. God has not given us the ability to fly like an eagle. So why did God give us the ability to do evil? Why didn't he give us a form of free will that does not lead to evil behaviour? Because he likes evil or does not exist.

But that does not cover all the evil in the world. What about natural disasters? Why does he allow them to happen if he doesn't enjoy to see human being suffering? Are earthquakes, tsunamis, and tornadoes really necessary?

There is nothing to be ashamed of in doing honest work.

True talk!

China already proves this, Democracy is a form of governance NOT an economic model. The Communist government of China is doing pretty fucking well being communist.

What matters is not how the government is doing but how the people are doing.
Paper prosperity means nothing when you are unhappy. When you have a mind but must not express it.
The people of China are in bondage. The shocking reality behind this "prosperity" will one day be revealed.

Yet, isn't the problem in Nigeria, the fact that not enough people are jailed, executed and tortured?

If I was living in China, I would probably be in jail for allowing you to criticize the government.
Would you like to be executed for the beliefs you've expressed on this forum? That is China for you.
How can a government improve when people can be killed for simply criticizing it? We don't need such here.
The idea that someone who has the power to execute anybody will use the power altruistically is silly.

Tell your sister by phone, then refuse to meet either her or your husband without being accompanied by an elderly relative that you both respect like your brother or uncle. This way you won't be embarrased by any of them.

How easy will it be to expand the ram to 1gb? About how much will that cost?

When I load Sony Vegas on my system with 512mb of memory, it's sluggish but usable. 1gb would be much better.

I'd like to commend you for having the discipline to post this on the appropriate section of the forum.

Hmmm. So it's essentially a desktop in the form of a laptop. It may still be worth it, though, since its relatively low power consumption will make one's inverter last longer on a full charge. Do you have the original OS disk?

Looks like a good system for video editing.
How long does it last on a full battery when NEPA strikes?

China is a very very terrible place to live. They don't have any freedom. People are jailed, tortured, executed for doing things we take for granted in Nigeria. Their apparent economic boom is due to a slight relaxation of the terrible restrictions the communists placed upon their economy. They are merely recovering from a self-imposed depression.

You're right; the effort deserves commendation. It's just that I don't want to pay more for a product than what others are paying for it. I don't want to be cheated. However, what they have now is much better than nothing!

In short, money is more valuable in Nigeria.
So you can't compare Nollywood income directly with Hollywood income.
I think you need a "cost of living index" to do the comparison.
