Its the location , location , location . *Ikoyi*. They are not selling you the house but the location. Most old houses that are bought on those prime areas are demolished anyways so its not new. Thats the Real Estate sector for you. Even when renting a house, you can see a brand new, well finsihed 3 bedroom flat (all ensuite) at a place like Okota and they will say its about 450k but the same thing will be about 1 million plus in a place like Bode thomas in Surulere..

With even 3 months free subscription with the offer of 9k and 9k 500.

Just that there is no CNN in the channel offerings

With the launch of Gotv in Lagos, its game over for Startimes. This DSTV people are ruthless. They waited till Startimes increased their subscription fees before doing this. Who can stand against this people?

With subscriptions at 1000 naira and 1,500 naira.

As for Facebook , it will still be there in 2020 but there is no guarantee that it will be as popular or as important.
Does any one here remember the days of Hi5, Tagged, Black Planet, My space ? They were the buzz at their time but time also passed them by and though they all remain till date, the traffic has moved and so has the importance attached to them in those days as social networks...

Internet explorer 7 is a no no. No body wants to get into so much stress creating a beautiful site on other browsers just to see a totally different and hideous result on Explorer 7.

I like what the guy did. He actually acknowledges that he doesnt expect people to pay the tax but to raise awareness and make people download and upgrade their browser.

Okay for your explanation but I didnt try to register though. I dont register on sites anymore unless absolutely necessary and important.

^^^^^^^^^

Why do you have to force me to register to view the site?

doncigalo: Also he keeps picking on upcoming developers and designers, he loves to haze them, the last straw for me is his negative posts about nairaland a couple of weeks back. Go through his ealier posts and thread and you will see where I coming from.

I dont understand this last part of your post. Is the post implying that he likes belittling upcoming developers and designers and hate on them?

If thats what you meant by it then am truly surprised because your own comments on "upcoming designers" have been the harshest and most heartless on this forum.

Am not holding brief for dhtml though . Just making an observation.

Honestly, I think this thread has taken a very embarrassing turn and its not funny anymore....

Everyone needs to sheath the swords

Peterson1993: NEPA servers travels with the speed of light and to any location without any stress. The very moment NEPA takes light here in Nigeria, thier epileptic servers travels with full speed to any nigerian host located in any part of the world and form "in a relationship" status with it. E.g trudigist is in a relationship with NEPA

Have you used Trudigit before? You only said you used Whogohost before you moved to hostgator. Its malicious to make derogatory comments on a host that you havent experienced first hand.

Where did all these people come from?

majour: CUTE

You no go finish ya secondary school ni? With your school uniform way you put on.....

Peterson1993: ^ ^@Javanian na zo we see am oo my brother. Na everything de make front page for nairaland. And I dont think there is any WHOGOHOST guy here or paid to to help advertised whogohost. Whogohost is too big for that. It is natural. If you work hard and serv your fans well,they well even unconciously help advertise you product.. I plan building a website from the scratch but b4 doing so, I created a website with a simple already existing script and template just to be practicalising with it. I initially hosted with whogohost b4 moving to hostgator. I really felt whogohost delecious services. I left them not because they had any problem but the name "Nigeria" de tire me sometimes

Bros, if they were so good, there wouldnt have been any need to move to hostgator, would there?

doncigalo: @dafthtml You asked for us to share our inputs about other webhosts abi ?? So what are you on about ?? Youre now changing mouth and telling me to go to start another thread on whogohost because your beginning to see how trudigits cannot compare with whogohost.

You cannot even claim to be the best in Nigeria, talk about aspirations....WHOGOHOST is the BEST !!

Really doncigalo, this is getting childish. You can post your comments about whogohost and list their advantages without insulting people or casting aspersions on a service you havent used. Have you used Trudigits? If you havent, then you shouldnt be insulting or talking about it. Any commendations or thumbs down, should come from someone who has used them.
We are all adults and this pettiness is getting out of hand....

[quote author=*dhtml]Tired Of Nigerian Webhosts / My Best Web Host Ever (pls This Is Not An Advert)[b][/b]

Yeah people, enough sleeping on this board. Lets try to stir things up a bit.

I have used a lot of Nigerian hosts and foreign hosts as well. So now, i will now announce the best webhost I can recommend to Nigerian developers based on my own person experience.

And the webhost also have a great website to their name - www.trudigits.com - i will not say too much, you can check their website and start placing your orders - it works like maggick.

Now, you guys are free to share your experiences with Nigerian web hosts.[/quote]@ dhtml, looking at the highlighted part, you actually asked for people to post their experiences with other hosts.

I also find doncigalo very annoying and childish at this point but by your post, you called for other imputs from other hosts. Also, a poll is added to this post with other hosts apart from Trudigits.

Limaoscar: Credit to his calm nerve and quick thinking.

A lot of credit to the Nigerian police on this occasion for strategically make. It impossible for the scum.bags to succeed at their enterprise. The police did their job on this occasion.

Thanks to the state governor for wadding into the matter , perhaps for ordering the police to swing into action very fast.

Above all, thanks to God almighty for keeping this dude safe. Imagine how it would have been scripted. Guy was going to Church....they kidnap and kill him and some folks on here will be saying...church...pastors bla-bla-bla.

Oh boy, you dey make award acceptance speech?

doncigalo: @dafthtml I hope your getting your rent money from trudigits for all these marketing stunts you and your friend are pulling ? How come they are only two likes from every positive comment about trudigits ?

Think its time for the big boiz (WHOGOHOST) to come into this. Tomorrow should be a very interesting day on this thread.

Do you own whogohost or do you work for them? Wetin?

The police should be commended for covering the whole area and being on their tail the whole time. Its good they were monitoring the calls and tracing the calls.

The same modus operandi should be used for every other citizen and not just for VIPs. People should not tell stories and make Obodo out as ungrateful.

Kidnapping wont stop with this case so we shouldnt ridicule the police for doing a good job this time. It could be you next time and you wouldnt want a disgruntled police force in charge of the case then.

The Igbos say that when you praise a child for a job well done, he will strive to do as well next time or even better....

BizBooks: At least some people are decent enough to report the matter accurately. One can disagree
with NASS Sports Committee on their priorities as you have done (though I suspect you are
an Arsenal fan ). I only have issue with people who have failed to understand even at
this late stage that the event is just a committee-organized event.

Whether its a commitee-organised event or not, is this sort of thing what they are setup to do? What about our League? What about developing female football that has been on a decline since 1998? What about grassroot football?

Obasanjo said that all our Law Makers are thieves and they were running their mouths at OBJ. Events of the past month have confirmed it.

Xflint: Sorry! That was all my fault it is http://www.nigerianpalace.com
I wish you can edit yours as well
thanks

First thing I noticed on the landing page(I didnt bother to sign in or register) is *You Are Welcomed To The Forum. Be The First To Post *

First, it should be you are welcome not you are welcomed. Secondly, why add "Be the first to post"? Its as if you are saying there is no other user nor posts on your forum. I am thinking you wrote that yourself because if it was dynamically displaying that message, it wouldnt say "Be the first to post", as am sure that at least, you the owner must have made a post in the forum.

doncigalo: @sology But isnt Whogohost the same company that designed and built jobberman , so what are you on about?? Your claim that they lack the expertise is unfounded. Theres no need to reinvent the wheel, if the web template fits their needs and purposes then why not use it ! Trudigits should actually take a leaf out of their page and buy a template, cuz the design of trudigits sucks !!

Whogohost are the best. GBAM !!!

Docigalo, bro, I responded to your post where you said that their web site design is solid, somehow implying that they did some great job themselves.Thats why I posted the link for you to see that they didnt.

Anyways, I just noticed you edited this post and added the Trudigits part which wasnt there earlier. When are you going to let go of the beef with Dual Core?

Am not a Trudigits client . I am a hostgator user but I know where this beef stems from and one would have thought that you have moved beyond it now.

doncigalo: 6. The design of the website is ......SOLID !!!!!

Nope they are using a web template that they couldnt even customise ... http://themeforest.net/item/planet-hosting-web-hosting-html-template/full_screen_preview/87976

WhyAWhy: It's not strange
The two companies www.Havilahhost.Info & www.cluewebhost.com [/b]might be owned by the same company

Compare with [b]http://www.pcworld.co.uk and http://www.currys.co.uk

Same design themes, has nothing to do with the designer/developer. It's probably a brand thingy

No, www.havilahhost.info and www.cluewebhost.com are not owned by the same person. They are both using the same free web hosting template without any proper modifications.

Thats why am always voicing out on this issue of just downloading templates and using *as is* without any work on it. Its the Internet and sooner than later you will run into someone who is equally as lazy with the same template. The same way you see people downloading and using free templates *as is* for their clients. Too bad.

bigx: For over 3 years Clue WebHost (www.cluewebhost.com) has provided professional webhosting services to hundreds of websites from the North, South, East and West of Nigeria.
They don't advertise, but their services have been so good that they provide shared, reseller and VPS services to hundreds of clients via strictly referrals.
They offer instant setup and online payments via local ATM cards, dedicated support via tickets, phone and email and have courteous and technically competent staff.
A trial of their services would convince you.

Can they just design their own website instaed of using some free website template? Thats my own contribution in all of this

^^^^^^^
hehehehe

Peterson1993: MY quote was distorted@ *dhtml. If you say so, then the answer is capital NO. WhoGoHost naija web hosting has no comparism. It is mostly refered to as the hostgator of naija. But all the same as I said before, forget naija hosting and join the winning team USA.. Naija host can knack you akpako any time. I love my country naija but the faith and trust is not there anymore 0%

They will say , I have come again with my wahala but why this Whogohost no fit design their own website : http://themeforest.net/item/planet-hosting-hosting-wordpress-theme/143657 .

But I respect them though as they at least bought the template , no?

So what is the site about? Has anyone braved it to register? Am not ready to sign up to yet another social networking site..

[quote author=Mr. Globe]I disagree with you. I dumped hostgator. I know many people who did, besides, google is your friend but anyway its objective so whatever soothes you[/quote]Exactly! Its your prerogative who you prefer. I say I prefer Hostgator from experience. I use Hostgator and I use Bluehost. Just as people are *dumping* hostgator, is the same way some are *dumping* bluehost. Like I said, I use bluehosts as well and they are not better than Hostgator...

[quote author=Mr. Globe]will you compare hostgator to bluehost or hostmonster. You guys are def missing[/quote]I also have a site on bluehost and they are not better than hostgator.

^^^^^^
I think amazon sells fairly used stuff as well. Am not sure but I have bought books from Amazon(though not fairly used) and my cards were not rejected.

ghostofsparta: Okay what do you suggest?

I said I have once done this before and it worked before the card from ICB got expired. Acquiring a card here in Nigeria where the form bears a genuine UK or USA address as the billing/postal address and whilst using it to successfully register a paypal account where the funding is in Nigeria either in dollar or naira.

What I'm not sure of is would this trick work again with any of these present Visa and Mastercard from GTBank, Zenith and First Bank?

If you are getting any of these cards from our local banks, the address on it will surely be your Nigerian address. UBA will even do a phisical address verification in the case of their UBA AFRICARD . secondly, even if in some magical and strange way, the Bank registers your card with a foreign address, there is also the AVS(Address Verification System) that Paypal puts in place that would flag any transactions you make from Nigeria. Leave Paypal alone. They dont want Nigeria (at least for now).The more you keep trying to circumvent their system, the more you give them confirmation that we are crooked and hence, further delay any plans or moves to accomodate Nigeria.
People have been buying things online for sometime now in Nigeria without paypal and they havent died or closed shop.
