How can I accept this as a good idea. Wil you be the one paying people 20 kobo per post?

Thanks. When I saw that error message I was like, "this has got to be a joke!"

My Confession
The changes I made last week to deal with the increased traffic came back to bite me in the ass, and Nairaland was down for about an hour while I struggled to fix it.

I lost my table of members and table of topics, which I had attempted to speed up, so I had to construct those records again from a backup and the table of posts.

I was able to recover all lost topics (excluding detailed information about those topics such as number of views) and the username/email address of members who registered recently and have started posting.

New users who haven't posted will need to re-register. The 233 newest active members will need to update their profiles again. Topics under "Nairaland.com" will need to be moved. Sorry.

2cantango: what does "baby please" mean?

"Aawr yuu duuing?"

Whether kissing is a sin or not is a personal choice?

What sort of software are you selling? We need you to post a link to your company's website to verufy that what you are inviting our young job-seekers into is legal. Thanks for understanding!

A lot of people enjoy these movies. That's all that matters in entertainment. It's not about how sophisticated, accurate, or awe-inspiring the movies are; it's about how well people enjoy them and a lot of people really seem to enjoy these Nollywod movies.

Remember the movie about penguins that was popular in the US last year? Explain that!

Those who are complaining that Nollywood movies are bad should go and direct their own movies. To criticize is easy, but to build something great requires hard work and sweat which few are willing to go through!

What I make is not "a ton' of money, but it's acceptable for someone who lives in Nigeria. I even get to save because I save money by living with my folks and eating their money food.

How owuld they collect that 20 kobo?

Heh. Please don't tell your sister about it unless you're both really close and lavel-headed.

Can someone give us the name of the new album or the title or wording of some of the songs you say you've heard on radio?

My own advice: Learn PHP/MySQL and start building dynamic websites.

Akolawole, you mentioned that there's religious freedom in Nigeria. what if my religion encourages homosexuality? Would I be permitted to practice such a religion? What if my religion worships homosexuals and forbids punishment of homosexuals? Would Nigeria respect my religion and leave the homosexuals alone?

He shot first.

Free website and hosting for graduates. What if they don't have productive uses for your free website and hosting?

Look at all of them following the crowd like sheep to the slaughter. Sopescott is a good friend of mine and he did not win any Chevron contract job. He was just running a stupid test and making fools out of all of you. Spelling like an idiot to see how long it would take me to correct his spelling.

When you are on Nairaland, you need to put your thinking caps on.

His original title (before I was forced to change it was "Is ChevRoNN Contact Job Woth It" and I was annoyed because I know he did it deliberately (even edited the title). Is that clear now, or do I have to explain it in Yoruba so you can all understand? put your thinking caps on, people, and don't allow yourselves to be taken for fools by people like sopescott!

Talking about 10 year old children being sent to hawk, i don't support that because it's so unsafe. I think the problem is that illiterates breed like rabbits. They copulate without the use of protection, and then they have so many children they can't take care of. Their lack of education consigns them to a low income that can't adequately support 2 or 3 kids not to talk of 6, 7, 8, 9! This makes them take desperate steps like sending their children to hawk or work for strangers who may or may not be cruel.

However, we should not throw out the baby with the bathwater. I don't see what's particularly bad about a 16 or 17 year old having a job (which may be housekeeping). There are some people who treat their domestic servants well and even pay for their education where they would have had no opportunity to be educated. You don't say because some marriages are bad you want to ban marriage altogether, because that will cause more problems. A law to punish child abuse - whether the child is yours or not - would have been more intelligent.

Hello Owo,

I regret the third term plot, the arbitrary laws, the disobedience of court orders. It's a pity that the people vying for OBJ's position are only worse.

Seun.

Why don't you come back to Nigeria and join the bloody struggle? You are enjoying yourself in the Uk and you want those of us at home to be killing and maiming each other. That is cowardice of the highest order!

After a nice chat with zizzle, I realised that the situation is not that bad. Though the father seems to currently disapprove of her, she's on talking terms with him and the rest of the family. She should just persevere and love will prevail. Wishing her the very best in her relationship and upcoming marriage.

There has to be some form of protection for them surely.

There's a big difference between protection and criminalization. Protection is when you appoint conselors to visit these househelps and ask them, "are they treating you well?" and punish their employers if they have been mistreated. This law does nothing of that nature. It merely deprives these children of their only source of income.

Yes, I am against child labor, but it's still better to be a househelp than to die of hunger or be forced into crime. This idea of depriving people of their source of income in order to 'improve' the society is silly.

How can someone that doesn't know how to spell get a chevron contract job?

When people in relationships talking about travelling out, I always wonder what will happen to their partners. Their desperate desire for a better life abroad makes them blind and heartless. If you know you want to travel out, you should remain single. So many relationships are not worth the time wasted on them.

Here are my questions:
- What's the difference between a child, nephew, or friend's child who runs a lot of errands at home and a domestic servant? You know that in our culture children are treated as house helps anyway.
- Have they provided alternative employment for the children under 18 who are currently domestic servants?

Sure. You can publish an open letter for me in any of the Nigerian dailies. That'll surely work.

We're keeping it clean.
