He may be "ugly", but his wife Omotola remains happily married to him. Beauty is not everything.

Moved to celebrities.

NSNA, you don't need a plan to make a business unprofitable. You need a plan to make it profitable.

Does Google have a plan to make Youtube profitable? If they did, then why isn't Google Video profitable?

At no time did I make it compulsory for Nairaland members to indicate more than just their country.

Jakumo has been banned for claiming that the administrator wants Nairaland members to post their street addresses. This is slander.

What I actually said: "therefore you are required to indicate at least your country of residence in your profile."

If there's a way to report them, then please do.

Here is further proof that money is needed to start a business:

To achieve this, during my NYSC I saved all my money

That was how I raised my money and now my biz is grow

If you did not save that "little" allowee that others don't have, you won't have been able to start your businss.

Why should I waste my ime and money calling you only to be given a price I can' afford? Be gone!

if Saddam Seun dies, Nairaland.com will die too.

Life is more important than a forum. If a valuable human being is facing death, it's ok for a mere forum to die.

Yeah! Kwenu! Bagoma Kwenu!!

Are you a member of this party?

Moving to offtopic section!

Hello,

In order to make Nairaland the most enjoyable online detination for Nigerians, two new rules have just been created:

1) The location in your profile must be the country, state or town you currenty live in - if you're active.

Your location is very important to other members of the forum, because where you live affects your perceptions and experiences. For example, a Nigerian living in UK would know more about racism while a Nigerian at home will know more about the day-to-day expewiences of a person living in Nigeria. It has also been discovered that many topics cannot be fully understood unless one knows where the poster lives.

Therefore you are required to indicate at least your country of residence in your profile. If you're unwilling to indicate this in your profile, then you must refrain from making posts on the forum.

If you make posts on the forum without complying with this rule, you'll be banned for 5 days. Locations like "in my girlfriend's bosoms" or "somewhere far away" will be punished most severely.

2) Animated signatures, moving signatures, or image signatures more than 20 pixels tall are forbidden.

A flashy signature distracts people from the subsance of a thread and tends to lead to offtopic comments like "please remove your signature" or "what a cute signature" or "that signature is making me dizzy". Therefore if your signature is animated or an image more than 20 pixels high, you are now required to remove it.

If you make any post after recieving this message and a distracting signature if found attached to such a post, you will be banned for a period of five days and the signature will be removed by me.

Remember: Resistance is futile and will be crushed!! Obey before complaint!! My forum, my rules!!

Thanks,
Seun Osewa.
The great Obantalatapipipi of Nairaland!

Nigeria is quite ok. All the things that government can't provide, we entrepreneurs will eventually provide.

Youtube's "enormous traffic" is clearly due to the fact that it hosts videos. It has less eyeballs than Google.

Alas, I don' want to go offtopic.

Here's a link that says more about the issue of veils:

All religions are man-made and subject to extreme differences of interpretation.

Nigeria is better than China - you can criticize the government to an extent without being executed.

The capital of Ghana is said to be fine, but what about the villages? How many people live in Accra?

I don't know much about Singapore and Botswana, but they probably don't have our enormous population.

How long have we had democracy? 8 years. Obviously we need a little more time. We just need peace.

Since they are both absolutely necessary, one can't honestly say that one is more important than the other.

It's like asking whether the sperm of the egg is more important in human conception. They are both necessary!

What number did you get the SMS from? What number did they give you as the manager's number?

I'm sure that there are all kinds of system boards at the famous Computer Village Ikeja

Moving to jobs.

It's a scam. You cannot win a lottery you did not apply for.

Can you tell us the original software packages you have and their prices.

When I choose a partner, I won't ask anyone for approval. If they offer any disagreeable advice, I'll just tell them to go and jump into a lagoon. If they don't attend the wedding, I'll have saved some money.

The illusion of independence is very important to me. Happiness means never having to ask for permission.

From the original post:

What you need to start a business is IDEAS and little capital.

"Little capital" is money, so the premise of this thread is wrong. One man's "little capital" is another man's fortune.

Due to ignorance, we are achieving less than we can achieve under this government. In time, we'll learn.

In absolute terms, Nigeria is ok. We shouldn't be comparing ourselves to countries that are much older. This is like saying a secondary school student is a dunce because she is not as smart as a professor. Give us time, we'll grow.

What does the minister of aviation have to do with a plane crash? Please.

If someone has a car crash no one blames the "minister of road transportation". It's just an accident.

Nigeria is working. The government alone is failing woefully, but Nigerians like you and me are working.

The fact that youtube does one thing (video) and does it well is also very important. You don't have to remember a complicated website name like video.google.com. Just type youtube.com and you're in!

Youtube's success is also partly because they chose a very dialup-friendly video format (FLV) instead of the bloated formats used by Google Video and others. The willingness to host illegal videos and to allow people to embed videos on their own websites has also helped. Unfortunately, their 'success' is neither sustainable nor profitable.

Google is planning to buy Youtube with stock, so the fools in this transaction are Google "investors".
