Helo VELO 10, your assessment of the website www.naija4web.com is amazing, even though the site is under construction and not yet open for public assessment, but i guess you were at another website and not naija4web. anyway, you can now go to www.naija4web.com and have a look at it again and try to make a comment on it based on what you made before. any comment is welcome. you can also look at www.naijafastsms.com. thanks

My dear, please go back to apprenticeship . Please , Please, Please. Take that site down and learn first before offering 'Web design services'.

I am just being totally frank here.

Don't mind what people say, You start by preparing your innermind of being great, Then, start thinking big, Be determined because you will face some critics who you may probably employ sooner or you will face some obstacle that will build you mindset and make you our nigerian michael dell or Bill Gates, Dont give in to these distructive critics, programmed your mindset and place it on How Can A Website Get Over 1 Billion Page Views In 24 Hours? And you will get the answer before you know, Seach online to find your answers,

Utterly clueless

As for Keshi replacing Siasia, I gladly welcome that idea. Keshi was far more deserving of this position than Siasia in the first place with his success with two African national teams. I believe that with good players, Keshi can perform to the maximum. If this move is effected, I'll gladly sit down and cheer for future Nigerian matches to come

Success with which two African teams? Winning what? Getting to where on the Fifa ranks? If they cant get any other person, then SiaSia should remain. Definitely not Keshi. You want the likes of Aiyegbeni to get back to the National team just for knowing how to 'grease palms'?

Censorship on a public forum is good but some of this word filtering and translations only serves to make the discussions very ridiculous and hard to read.

For instance, there is nothing wrong with leaving 'Prosttute' the way it is and not change it to something else. Its a name that has been there since biblical times.

The unpleasant and nasty words can remain filtered.

I am sure if this website is still online, this same poster and many others would have started a thread asking why the website is still on since elections are over. He will then say, tax payers money is being wasted.

Exactly!

The world economy is in crisis. People dont have jobs to do anymore so idleness is the order of the day, and any story, goes.

You can even tell from the posts on Nairaland.

Its not possible. Stop kidding yourself. I billion page views in 24 hrs of launching? What info are you selling there that generates such traffic? How long has the domain been in existence. Do you have premium adverts on google? Even if? It just doesnt read/sound nice for one to be so unrealistic.

Watching DSTV is luxury. How does it concern Government? Its not by force to watch DSTV. Watch Hitv or Star times or our local stations if its too expensive for you.

@Clementcro, I suspect he asked how old you are because of your reaction to his posting of the CNN link. I mean, its CNN for crying out loud, you should know he was joking. Besides, he put a smiley in between the posts. And you went on and on about how you follow the original designers of CNN on twitter like its some 'holy grail'.

I want tt take u guys through a little troubleshooting guide( d little I know)

1. First of all, delete the unwanted stuffs on your systems
2. Update the anti-virus
3. if it is still slow, do ipconfig/release, go to start button on your system, type in cmd(small letters) if u cant see your command prompt, when the black box comes up, type in ipconfig/release press ENTER(this will disconnect you from the internet), type in ipconfig/renew and click ENTER, this process will flush the former ip and gives you a new one. by so doing if it is still slow, ping the general ip address 4.2.2.2 -t(continous pinging) and see the response, it is in 3 digits ms, it manageable but if in 4 digits ms, then you need to contact your service provider

Oga, we know these things. We are talking about irresponsible service provision and we can tell when an issue is from our system and when its simply not working from the ISP's end.

Prof JYK:
Stayed 6 days without browsing 2weeks ago. spent a fortune calling customer service and the lady was dribbling me telling me to turn my device upside down and read out all the numbers written underneath, making it seem like the problem was peculiar to my device only. paid them two hell raising visits at adeola odeku only to find out it was a general problem.

lol, thats what they do. They tell you to turn your modem this way and that way. Then ask you to squint and read out numbers instead of just telling you there is a problem.

Prof JYK:
funny thing is that these peeps know they have capacity for 1000 subcribers and will do agressive marketing for 10000 till they cant handle the traffic and there is a mass exodus then they go down like a long list of lag based ISP's.

And they keep advertising on radio and everywhere lieing like crazy.

deols:
I just hope pple like u wont come talking when an Islamic institution does same.

I would be stupid to come talking when an Islamic institution does same. Its Islamic institution that it is called, no?

deols:
Or were ppl not asking if the Islamic banks would employ them on religion basis or not?

Any one who is not a Muslim that goes to an Islamic [quote][/quote]bank to seek employment, would have him or herself to blame for any disappointment that may follow.

udezue:
Okay, first of all he lied on his application so the school has grounds to deny him based on that. U are not supposed to lie or deceive any institution in order to get admitted.

2nd, it is a private Christian school hence it has the right admit people based on religion. Its not govt owned public institution. Its private hence it has a right to enjoy its autonomy.

3rd, how many Christian or non-muslim are admitted in any Islamic school out there? I am sure the criteria before admission will be to convert to Islam immediately or lose admission.

People should stop hyperventilating over nothing.

If the father sues he will surely lose so they should suck it up and look for a public school or private Islamic school.

Imagine a Xtian school where Muslims will take breaks to do their prayers. Haha The school can deny Hindus, Buddhists, Jewish people admission if they deem fit.

Very Very well said.

Besides, they said they had had problems in the past with Muslim students. Its a CHRISTIAN SCHOOL for crying out loud and that means they would have set times for bible reading and prayer vigils. What you would have is Muslim students doing their own thing while the other students are doing what the school was original started for. This would eventually lead to friction and chaos in the school.
There is no point in trying to sound politically correct like most of you here are doing. Its a Christan school and that's what they are created for and what they want to remain. Let Islamic organizations offer Muslims proper education and not just Islamic studies, and stuff like this wont occur.

I think the Newspapers should start charging for online access to some news sections. Have some sections free but some accessible only on subscription. This they have to do to survive. If people dont want to subscribe, they can opt to buy the print version. That way, business continues to run. The online ads revenue can not be compared to what is obtainable with online publications abroad like the CNNs and Skys of this world.

samyng:
[i]The things is that there is difference between Kbps and KB/s i.e where 1024kbps = 1MBPS and 120KB/s = 1mbs so please note @malikalhaj you are deviating from the topic, Mobitel is very annoying i cant even use Facebook some times to chat as my friends complain i sign and out of the chat and some times my messages are not delivered on chat and the newest one now is that twitter does not work until you call customer care and they fix it before it works. some times you can't even open twitter for a whole day. I wonder what the next thing would be. Also it disconnects more than 7 times a day and refuses to connect your for a while some times up to 20min,

Thats why I started this thread so that hopefully, they will get embarrased at management level and fix thier network but hey, what do they care? They are still 'catching people' with their adverts on radio and everywhere of 4G broadband,

samyng:
They delete peoples complain on their facebook page but they can't delete complains on their twitter page your can lookup for numerous complains,

Exactly! Thats because they know they are doing something wrong. I heard of the twitter thing and someone claimed the twitter problem started when people started using twitter to expose thier bad network. So, in essense, they are probably enbling twitter for customers based on personal recognition in order to control the damage twitter is having on their network. They have full control of facebook so any uncomplimentary comment, doesnt last up to 24hrs before it gets deleted.

samyng:
@ soloqy i think this thread needs to make front page so that the public would be aware and save people of falling into the same trap until they fix their sever i have been using mobitel for over 5 weeks now and the issue gets worse [/i]

Unfortunately, thats up to the mods in here to do.

Dual Core:
There is no contact address. There is no company reg number.

And this is rather very stuupid.
Why will you pay money to anyone to fix you up on any of the 3G/EDGE providers when you can get the service directly from MTN, GLO, Zain, E.T.C.

I tire oo

Dual Core:
Dude, I don't pity you. In a bid to steal from a network provider (by not paying them directly for internet access) you got stolen from. Karma is a wateva.
There is nothing legit about this business and I don't know how you want to report this to any authority without getting into trouble yourself.

Pay for internet. You know the right sources to pay to. Don't cut corners.

Exactly! Scammer being scammed.

malikalhaj:
Dude u are funny, just explaining the calculation to u, if u go and get a modem, they tell its 3.6 or 7.2mbps, that is how it is bin said but using IDM the maximum u can hope to attain is 450 or 900KB/s

Its hardly the reason I raised this issue. The issue is that their service was totally unreliable when I used it last two months. And by all indications(from the couple iof people who posted recently, its still bad. And they keep advertising on the Radio and everywhere without sorting out their network instability.

samyng:
My brother welcome to the club but the thing is that i went to their office and they said they are undergoing an upgrade so am waiting and keeping my fingers crossed. As its more than 2 weeks now and the issue is annoying

Its non existent whenever it rains. I just dont get it.

I have moved to yet another provider. They only allow positive reviews(I suspect sponsored or workers) on their facebook page. Once a negative review goes there, give it 24 hrs or less and it would be deleted. I suspect thats why 'fan likes' to that page has not grown as it should.

ax242001:
mukina2,

Can you see your intention. i saw it coming. i known that this posting was for selfish reasons.

NOTE : You do not want to provide solutions but, you want to collect money. A true Nigerian lady.

Helloo? cant you read where the overall admin of the site, Seun said he is the one who asked her to post it? Why are you going on like this?

Though I have some strange feeling that Mukina could be Seun.

toluxa1:
I remember one time FUTMINNA were doing some kind of registration and at some date, they said it has closed. All they did was to remove the CLICK HERE TO BEGIN REGISTRATION link and replace it with a plain text REGISTRATION HAS BEEN CLOSED. All I did was check my history and get the old registration link, added some %2 his registrations number %2serial bla bla bla and Bingo! I was in the registration page. Na so I do the guy registration ooo. He is in 200Level now!

Clap for yourself for the wonderful feat.

All these wannabe hackers sha.

Is the man indirectly making excuses for violent terrorists? Anyone here who justifies the nonsense of Boko Haram by making excuses for them should wait for his/her turn. What goes around comes around. When they bomb a place where you have a loved one and the person dies, we shall see if you will come in here to say nonsense like its because of corruption or because of oppression.

Tunde Bakare is just a wicked and vindictive person. This is not a condemnation of terrorist acts. Rather its a 'that serves you right message'.

So far we have not seen any genuine condemnation of this menace from CPC, Buhari or Bakare.

Yes, the UN, US, Committee of Nations and Innocent Nigerians are persecuting Moslems because Atiku Abubakar lost the primaries to an 'Infidel' southerner and afterwards, the abomination of abominations happened as the same 'Infidel' won the elections against the Islamic proponent and prophet of Allah, called Buhari.

TomiDee:
May I refer you to our website http://www.Mobitel.com.ng whee we have a coverage map that shows exactly where we have coverage!

I thought you are the one who said I should write you a mail to ceo@mobitel.com.ng ? Five days down the line and no acknowledgement of my mail. No need for even trying to resolve again as my susbcription has expired and am using another ISP as I write. But one would have thought that after your post here suggesting that I have not exhausted all means of communication, and even suggesting your mail, that you would have been eager to reply or even acknowledge my mail. Cheers.

^^^^^
The president giving her 'handshake' , still does not indicate proper prioritizing .

He needs to give the countless youths who are creating things and making head way in science and other worthwhile ventures, presidential handshakes.

And for the people saying Nigerians are hypocrites inferring that what Karen was doing is normal, yes I agree that we are big hypocrites.

Because if Karen was from another country in that house and behaved the way she did, we would have cursed and insulted the living daylights out of that housemate.

But she is Nigerian, and suddenly, she is one to emulate. So much so that some presidential candidate had to write a tribute to her. Very interesting people.

What a clueless and misdirected Minister. So the youths should scheme, back-bite, use unprintable swear words and just be totally vulgar like Karen to show that they are resillient? Misplaced priorities right here.

Seems Nairaland has gone to the dogs. With everypost comes the tribal nonsense between the immature Igbos and yourubas on this site. Sadly, the owners of the site are watching these people drag this site down to destruction. Its a forum that can detect individuals and users. Ban them for good and restore sanity and credibility to the site. These immature kids have taken their idiocy to another level by searching for all manner of degrading stories concerning each groups' people to score some useless points. Some have even started fabricating stories. Its a drain mentally and spiritually to come in to this site these days as the whole place is over taken by these immature forumites from the eastern and western part of the country. Its refreshing to note that there are more mature forumites from those two places on this site but the noise of these few Idiots, are drowning out the voice of reason and maturity.

Seun, do something about this.

In this country, the consumer has no protection. Companies and businesses are allowed to come in, hoodwink unsuspecting and helpless consumers , then refuse to deliver the services promised/claimed (after raking in the money).

For so many of us these days, the Internet is an integral part of our work and we cant achieve anything with an unreliable Internet service. So its understandable that we jump to any *new* company or ISP that comes in promising speed and efficiency. Thats my story with Mobitel. Mobitel , just a couple of months back, came in promising speeds of up to 1Mbps to 3Mbps depending on the subscription package but right now, you cant even clock up to 7kbps on downloads. That aside, the service interruptions and down time are so frequent that one just cant get things done. I gambled with this in thinking that as a new service/ISP, I woule be able to get to use this service for at least a year before they oversell and go down in service like the rest but am shocked that it I have only been using it for two months and its already bad. Call customer care and you will hear the same thing all over: "We are aware of it and it will be ok soon". But it never gets ok. Whenever it rains, I just forget about browsing as it somehow affects it. I never had issues with rain with Starcomms or Visafone.

I wont be subscribing again and I will be going back to my old Starcomms(Yes,what more can I do. Its better than this to be honest as there isnt this much service down time).

I am doing this as a major complaint after all else has been done(Calling customer care severally) so that maybe, it will get to the top management and they see that they are losing it and maybe sit up. Its also to warn potential customers to hold on till they sort themselves out.

Donmeca:
The military seem to have scored some point against BH. They want to use the removal of the JTF to regroup, plot and execute more attacks. The govt shud to give in to their demands even if they promise permanent ceasefire and ultimate surrender of arms. These guys are already afraid of the JTF, they have been badly bruised and need some kind of breathing space to regenerate. This is the time to crush them! A wounded snake bites with double venom. . .

Exactly . They just want breathing space. The intensity of attack on them must increase. Those harbouring them in those states must be arrested and given life sentences. Last week they were fleeing. This is propaganda that they learnt from people like Saddam and Gadafi
