@Ekoile and Lasgidi

You are missing the point particularly, Ekoile. The issue is not the tolling/taxing as a concept but the toll amount and system. In your bid to call everyone commenting ignorant, you have refused to get that salient point. Even hercules just talked about the amount and you didnt see that as well. Scroll some pages back and you will see where I also talked about the toll amount and system. GET IT we are already paying tax in Lagos so we are fully aware of the realities of taxation. It doesnt now mean you levy taxes that are too heavy for people. With the current tolling system, road users on that Lekki express will be spending close to 600 naira per day on tolls. Calculate that and see how much it would amount to in a month and a year. The toll is paid each time you cross the toll gates cant you see that? Like I mentioned earlier in a post, nothing stops you from selling tickets on a per day basis so that people can buy tickets they can use for the whole day and not have to pay each time they pass the gate. People can choose to buy tickets in bulk(monthly, weekly) thus reducing the gridlock experienced when toll officials start looking for change to give customers.

ESPN Press Pass today, they all think Obi Mikel is not good enough at this level of football. Mikel really got the hits from them and I agree with them.

Its ironic that the same player is the one some in Nigeria take as our best. Thats why our football is in a mess.

Behold


The most beautiful bridge in West Africa

The most advanced and supplicated bridge in West Africa

The first stay bridge in Nigeria and West Africa

And it's in Lagos state

Built by the Lagos state Government

Please where is this bridge that you are talking about? I want to see it and marvel too?

I used to be a staunch Fashola supporter but I have come to realise that he is helping Tinubu Rob the people dry. That has always been their plan. All this Eko Oni Baje, is a ploy.One that worked for a while but our eyes are now open.

Akon is always running up and down, these stars are already huge, na so e talk say hin don sign face, until the guy career run down,

Tuface should also stay one place too. I thought he signed somewhere else after Kennis and his own Label?

I think he should look before he signs anything these days. He is a class act.

Maybe she was trying to say 'I wish for Jesus'

The people living in Lekki are not against tolling as a concept but the toll amount and system.

Anytime you pass the toll(going or coming) you pay at least N120 each time. If you go to work outside of Lekki, you pay going and coming. Anytime you or your family members want to go buy something from the mall or market outside the tolling area, you pay. Whan you do the calculations, people will be paying tha average of 500-600 Naira per day(At the least) on tolls alone. Multiply that by ten days and its 5- 6 thousand naira. A month , they would be spending close to 20, 000 naira on tolls alone. A year they would be paying about 250k only on tolls? I dont live in Lekki but thats robbery.

Like someone mentioned somewhere , they should change the whole system and let people buy tickets on a per day basis. That is, car owner can buy the 120 naira ticket from designated areas and use it for the whole day at the tolling gates. They can choose to buy bundles of tickets for the whole month or week and that would help the government keep proper records. It would also reduce the traffic situation caused by tolling agents looking for change to give people. This system as it is now, is simply too expensive.

Announcing alternative routes is just an opportunity for the area boys to make money illegally, harass and maim people.

^^^^^^^
lol , I asked if you were Seun, because the second statement(which you subsequently and rightly termed as redundant) sounded like a brag from someone on the inside.

Maybe the people complaining, genuinely want the site to function well and even grow more. And like someone earlier mentioned, the bots can be made a little more flexible. At 'Making a better site', they dont need to be programming gurus to set up a forum site. The issue is the years of online presence that Nairaland has garnered and that doesnt come easy.

Myself, I will stay in my calling and face my core business area and Forum is not part of it. The only thing I do with forums , is to comment on them.

There are no alternatives to Nairaland. Sure there are copycats, but no better alternative. [/quote]So are you Seun?

I said 'alternatives' = substitute, option, choice, other. I didnt qualify it as 'better' alternative.

Besides if they are complaining, as the OP is, the next thing would be to try the alternatives as he himself mentioned in his post, no?

Another thing though, there was a time Linkserve and Multilinks were the 'GOTO' in Internet access in the country. Today they are no where to be found amongst the top 10. That should be a lesson for anyone in any sort of endeavour. Dont take it for granted that you are the top now and belittle people or discard their suggestions and complaints as nonsense.

Its a good concept and am not sure any other person has done it. Only thing is that our online payment systems are still in infancy.

moderattor:
then you guys should drop seun's number , i'll like to call him.

What I gather from the mods is that the final say as to who and what the bots ban, belongs to Seun. If he refuses to sort things out(as am sure he reads this and all the other complaints), then you or the mods cant force him to change. Best one could do for oneself is to use those other alternatives out there.

ilekky:
Get a vps and your problems are solved.

Not solved for good though because if his site grows quickly and begins to use much more resources and bandwidth, he would need to get a dedicated as the fair use policy(which all hosts have but wont let you see at first) would not allow him use so much resources that will disrupt the people on the same machine as he.

Its something else I am commenting on and not the promo. Your own website esnetwork.net , would have landed you in some trouble if you were abroad. That logo has an image that has a trademark attached to it, dont you think?

deco2come:
Come to think of it, you earn 1000dollars a day which is more than 150k a day, and in a month you will have more than 3.5m. Now you are requesting 7500naira.

I want you to judge it yourself, how can a person making more than 150k a day requesting for 7500naira for to give information that is worth 20x the amount they earn.

My guy let's be real for once

The strange thing is that some ewus will send the ole 7500 naira.
I just dont get it.

^^^^^
Maybe someone is already brewing something and wont say it till its done.

[quote author=*dhtml link=topic=818199.msg9731100#msg9731100 date=1323452364]who are the youguys? come up with something and be acknowleges or exit();[/quote]Even if I dont come up, it doesnt mean I cant appreciate good designs and make contributions as to directions it should take, abi?

But Nevosys says he is already pitching that same design to the authorities hoping to get the job.

Dude needs to profit from his handwork if he has gone far ahead with it. I have not seen him say he wants to donate that same design so this might be putting him under unwanted pressure.

I think you guys should come up with a new design. Maybe having nevosys' idea and structure at the back of your minds.

This may be old but none of those links to websites(both full domain and subdomains) lead to anywhere. How come?

I was one of those that praised Swift some months back. Right now, its a terrible network. Stay away till they sort themselves out. The greed has taken over and they have oversold their capacity. What a disappointment.
Their marketers that were all over the place before, all of a sudden, cannot be found.

Ok, it seems Yawatide was posting the reply while I was typing mine. That link should explain it more @Phate07

Phate07:
^^Okay, accepted.
But why did you guys not bother to even edit the template you used? The site still bears  'Lorem Ipsum' standard text.

See screenshots beloww

If the 'Lorem Ipsum' is the reason you are saying its a 'template', then think again. Lorem Ipsum is dummy text you use to represent normal text when you are doing a sample, demo or mockup for your clients. 'Lorem Ipsum' is even a module/addon in some browsers now for developers to use. I am not standing brief for this design but dont go around stating confidently that any site mock up/sample you see with 'Lorem Ipsum', is a template site.

Swift is getting worse by the day. I have it and am currently looking for other options. I am using my starcomms backup which is steady but may not be blazing fast.

Issue isnt whether he is a normal person but about communicating normaly. Its not only 'programmers' that read the forums.

Morrelinko:
Just logged in.

I saw the "good things" moderatorr talked about but you are going too far,  Read Carefully

Question: Is this a CMS
ANSWER: Yes.

The next question that should come to your mind before criticizing is "Is this CMS Open Source?". Do i need to say anything futher to you,
Seriously what is wrong with using open source scripts maybe you want to take a look at antigravity,

[pseudocode]

STRING PROJECT = 'carry out your analysis';
BOOL IS_CMS_OPENSOURCE = (PROJECT === 'joomla' OR PROJECT === 'wordpress' OR PROJECT === 'drupal' OR PROJECT === 'modx' , etc);

IF(IS_CMS_OPENSOURCE):
RETURN CRITICIZE;
ELSE:
RETURN NULL;
ENDIF;


On the design issue, "no comment"

What is wrong with you? Communicate normally

@Yawatide, nice and Commendable effort. Welldone.

@nevosys, thats a great prototype. I think you should get that job, unless there are better designs they are looking at.

cecegorz:
Bro. Which area you dey stay jare, make i dey bring sales to them going forward.
Seriously, these bunch of crooks at Akerele, Surulere will just form as if they've never seen a newspaper or heard the radio ever in their lifetime.
I was there last month to recharge and still got milked! They claimed they are not aware of the stop order.

lol, my last top up was at Marsha PHCN. The akerele people are terrible people. Marsha is a lot better. Maybe it was before they effected the changes to their systems because when I recharged November 4th, I was charged the maintenance fee but my next recharge which was November 28th, the fee was removed.
