Even while the dollar was falling in the rest of the world, it remained as high as 145 naira in Nigeria until recently. I wonder why.

I'm a professional webmaster. I work on www.nairaland.com and more projects are coming!

I don't like activists. They get a lot of free publicity and sponsorship because people think they are angels whose actions are not rooted in self-interest. Whereas they make a lot of money from their activism.

If entrepreneurs don't create wealth, activists won't have anything to give away, so lets stop worshipping them.

You can go into the food canning business. Mass-produce canned vegetables - the ones used in cooking stew - so housewives can just warm your product and add water or oil to make their stew!

NEPA makes it hard for people to use deep freezers to preserve their food, so canning might be a better option. Canned peppersoup, canned okra, etc. You might not even invest up to $1 million and you'll make a lot more.

Scorpio, why don't you picture hot-angel at 30 plus?

Besides, Veronique Pierre's face is something special. Hot-angel's own doesn't even come close.

Why do you want to study Maths in the University? Afterall, the whole essence of studying in the University is to prepare you for some sort of real life work, right? So what work of real life work are you looking forward to that is making you want to study Maths in the University? Please let us know! It is only then that we'll be able to help.

What I'm ashamed of is that Veronique might stumble upon this thread and end up taking the jokers seriously.

How can hot-angel, of all people, be complaining that someone is fat?

Next thing I know, I'll be complaining that someone is tall and skinny.

It is unfortunate, but religion cannot but be part of a relationship. If the wife is religious and the husband is not, there's no problem. But if the husband is religious and the wife is not or has a different religion, as the "head of the family" he will try to impose his religion on her. If she's ready to convert herself to his religion, no problem. Or else!

There's a Christian lady on Nairaland who is getting married to a muslim. She's going to convert to Islam. Wow!

War is shit. That's all I have to add to your discussion. War is legalized crime.

Jamie Foxx or whatever you call yourself: I'm going to get you! https://us.i1.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/19.gif

Ok, now I really hate this Jamie Fox character:

Although it seems as if Fantasia's new strategy is to kiss every man she can find:

Good for her. I'll never watch reality shows like American Idol again! heart-broken.

This is betrayal! Who knows who else the girl is kissing for the sake of this success?

We are still recovering from the mentality of the command economy (military rule). The government still thinks it can control the exchange rate by restricting people's freedom to exchange the currency at any rate they desire.

I have mixed feelings about it since I am an exporter of advertising paid in dollars.

Is this wha it takes to succeed in Hollywood? Is it really worth it? And to think that I was her fan. Eww!

Fantasia Barrino is kissing male celebrities now? I hate her!

Yes. Last time I went out it was 134 naira for one dollar.

Here is the United Nations Report, which does not represent the views of Nairaland:
NIGERIA: Media harassment on the rise ahead of presidential elections, rights group

ABUJA, 28 Jun 2006 (IRIN) - Human rights groups say that media harassment is on the rise in Nigeria following the arrest of two journalists charged with sedition after publishing critical news reports about President Olusegun Obasanjo's government.

Rotimi Durojaiye of the Daily Independent newspaper and Gbenga Aruleba of Africa Independent Television were in an Abuja federal court on Tuesday facing six counts of working 'with intent to bring into hatred or contempt or excite disaffection against the person of the president'.

Durojaiye, the aviation correspondent for the Daily Independent, had on 12 June published a report about the real age and cost of a presidential jet recently acquired for Obasanjo. The following day Aruleba also made comments on the jet issue in his daily political talk show.

After both reporters pleaded not guilty to the charges, Judge Babs Kuewumi ordered that they be held by the widely feared state security police, known as State Security Services (SSS), until conditions for bail are reviewed on Thursday.

Human rights activists from the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) say the arrests show increasing intolerance of criticism by Obasanjo's government ahead of next year's crucial polls.

'CPJ has documented an increase in harassment of the media in the run-up to the 2007 presidential elections,' executive director Anne Cooper said in a statement on Tuesday. 'It is particularly worrying that the SSS, which reports directly to the presidency, is behind many of these attacks,' she added.

The CPJ has called for an immediate end to the prosecution of the journalists and their release.

Legal experts expressed surprise at the decision to charge the reporters for sedition, a British colonial law they say is widely considered void after the Supreme Court ruled in 1983 it was inconsistent with the constitutional guarantee of freedom of expression.

'What the prosecution is doing is to muscle the press,' Okey Ozoho, one of the lawyers that appeared for the journalists told the court. 'The apex court has declared the offence of sedition unconstitutional,' he said, referring to Nigeria's supreme court.

Officials in the public prosecutor's office contacted by IRIN on Wednesday declined to comment.

Obasanjo won elections in 1999 that ended a 15-year stretch of brutal military dictatorship. Nigeria's constitutional term limit prevents him from running for re-election in next year's poll.

---

According to his lawyer, "Even the Supreme Court has said the offence of sedition is unconstitutional. It is a colonial offence. Belgore JSC (CJN), as he then was in a judgment declared that the offence of sedition is unconstitutional as it infringes on the rights of the press"

Looking forward to that, dear. Genuine talent is always appreciated.

Orinkinla, stop posting the pictures of your friends on Nairaland. I absolutely cannot control these crazy jealous girls. Next time, post the pictures of your enemies (ex-girlfriends?) for best results. Cheers.

Boasting is easy. Instead of posting your email address, why not show us samples of your work?

A web-based application should be one that runs over the world wide web, which is built on the Internet.

PHP/MySQL applications running locally should be seen as applications using the web browser as a GUI. Same thing applies to javascript applications. Intranet apps in PHP are client-server applications using a browser as GUI.

Yes, the modern browser is a pretty good GUI if that's the question being asked, but it's not the most powerful. If I can reduce development time by using a more rudimentary but capable GUI, why not? But not for word processing!

You should consider creating your own job, sister!

The beauty centers are making money already - we don't necessarily need more to be built for them to "chop". So I say bookshops all the way.

However, the question is irrelevant in a free economy. You go and build your boutiques and I'll build my libraries!

The people in the ministry of education have too much time on their hands, so they are messing with the system. They want to show that they are doing something, even if that thing is utterly stupid. Shame on them.
