Moving to education

Maybe our dances are boring? No, it may be because choreographers are yet to discover the movie industry.

Moved to adverts.

What Nollywood really needs is a movie review service that will promote the "top ten" Nigerian films every week. This will make it easier for consumers to find the best movies in the market and encourage producers to do better.

Come 26th of October 2006 Kingsley Ogoro Productions in collaboration with SOfye (Stella Omu Foundation For Family And Youth Empowerment) will be premiering the Movie “WIDOW” starring Stella Damasus Aboderin at the Transcorp Hilton Hotel Abuja, F.C.T.

Following the huge success of the Lagos Widow premiere Concert and the popular demand to feature the movie in all the states in the federation, it became necessary for an Abuja concert to be packaged as a start to serve as a social crusade, nerve soothing tonic for the people of the Federal Capital Territory as well as generating support for the Widow’s and their children.

There will be performances by some of the best notable artistes including

P-Square, African China, Sammie Okposo, Angelica, Jeremiah Gyang, Mike Aremu, I Go Dye, AY and Malik. The premiere will also have in attendance Nollywood celebrities like RMD, Nkem Owoh (Osuofia), Genevive Nnaji, Rita Dominic, Segun Arinze, Yemi Solade and other eminent personalities.

Are you planning to attend? It might be a lot of fun.

So what has been happening that i don't know about

The answer to your question is on the thread index.
The normal way to use a forum is to have one topic per post.

The answer is here: Why I Am Not A Christian Anymore. I don't hate God.

How can one unfounded belief be superior to another unfounded belief?

Sometimes I have to disable that link so the rest of the site can work!
I have to really battle this problem of downtime.

It's ok for them to be "poor" since their fans are similarly poor. They will just have to survive like the rest of us!

Is Ifa any more effective than the miracle pastors who are dominating our hearts and minds?

We have a full thread on the Ifa religion.
It's possible that some of the participants live in London. Good luck!

Moving to adverts.

All religions claim superiority and therefore I find them all to be inferior to atheism!!

Wow. Even though your post is clearly a promotional one, the site is good.

I expect apache to crash less often, due to Microsoft's reputation. Really, whatever works is fine. If you have problems with IIS, you can simply switch to Apache. Apache 2.0 with lightweight threads should be as fast as IIS.

Let the civil discussion commence!

Nigeria is not a team and it does not have to be. You cannot have a "team" with 100 million people. The only social structure that can accomodate 100 million people is known as a market. The role of the government is to prevent the participants in this national market from cheating each other, stealing, and engaging in violence.

If the government can focus on that and achieve it, then the people of Nigeria will enjoy faster prosperity.
If not, we'll still survive. We, the people of Nigeria who live in Nigeria, are resilient. We own our own fates!

Judaism is as violent as Islam if not more.
Muslims should please emulate the Jews and practice their 'violent' religion in a more civil manner.
It's a matter of interpretation. The religion is not so different, but it's interpreted in a violent manner.

If a rational investor wants to buy Nairaland for 10 million naira, it means the site can generate that much. In that case, it would be best for me to stick with the site and earn my 10 million naira naturally while retaining control. It's not as if there's an operation I need to perform urgently that needs 10 million naira. There's no need to hurry.

When people ask whether Nigeria is working, they are not talking about a geographical region. Or are they?

Hmm, I guess the question is ambiguous. I interpreted it to mean, "are the people of Nigeria moving forward?" and my answer is "yes!" You may have interpreted it to mean, "is the government of Nigeria performing?"

The only person that can determine the correct interpretation of this question is shinystar, the original poster.

Here's my third answer to this question: the most important one is the one you lack!!

If you are born into money but lacking in ideas, then ideas are more important. If you are like me and you spend all your time analysing various ideas and your head is overheating already, then money is more important.

I agree. That woman Amaka Igwe has my respect.

Use Apache because I think it's more stable. Server performance really doesn't matter at all.

The greatness of a nation is hinged on d willingness of its people to make appropriate sacrifices so as to lift the general good of d majority.

the citizens (including all the leaders) must be willing to sacrifice their desires/ positions

This is the rubbish that politicians feed us with so they can feast at our expense. Have you noticed that politicians never make such sacrifices? It's the idiots that follow them that "sacrifice" their lives for nothing.

Look at Ojukwu, he is married to a former Miss Nigeria, while the millions who died because of his war are still dead.  He is feasting while they are rotting in the grave. By sacrificing others, he gained fame unjustly.

When someone asks you to sacrifice yourself for the "greater good", please know that you are being decieved.  People exist to create happiness for themselves and those they care about. Everything else is deception.

Look at G W Bush. American soldiers are dropping dead in Iraq, along with thousands of civilians, yet the man that lied to them to get them to "sacrifice" is in Washington giving speeches.  So who is the fool?

Nobody should be forced to "sacrifice" for a "greater" purpose.  Personal happiness is the greatest purpose.

"Osewa's law" states that every law is made to favor its creator(s).

Long Form:
When any group of people meets to create laws that are binding on others, the body of laws so created will invariably favor the lawmakers at the expense of the other people who have to abide by such laws.

Short Proof:
Every human action springs from self-interest, and lawmakers aren't any different. Therefore they will support laws that favor them directly or indirectly and oppose laws disfavor them directly or indirectly. A group of such self-interested lawmakers in a democracy will therefore only approve laws that favor the majority of them. This is true regardless of the integrity of the lawmakers in question, because even integrity comes from self-interest.

Do you agree? Let's discuss! :-)
