Hello sir do you do door to door delivery of products? I reside in University Lodge

leatfabiano3681:
I want to hold 10(ten)people by the hand and show them how to market their products online (Facebook and Instagram)

Who I am I? And why should you listen to me?

My name is Lewis, I own Fabiano... a shoemaking outfit in Lagos

In 2017, at the peak of the Economic recession...I packed up my 2 stores in the outskirt of Lagos Nigeria (toll gate and Egbeda)and moved my business online.

Sales in my stores..had hit an all time low..I was barely surviving...

I was living from hand to mouth...

Hiding from my landlords both at home and in my store...because I couldn't raise the money to renew my rents

I was a shadow of myself...I even contemplated moving my family back to the village

Then I started looking at the prospect of selling online...

Last year i sold over 50,000 unit of my products using Facebook and Instagram... right from my bedroom(in my boxers and singlet)

Not to mention several many orders I rejected..

I made several repeat sales from impressed customers..

I no longer bothered my head with cheap customers who didn't have the money to buy my products

No more landlord wahala

I made more money online...way more than what I have ever made in the past 5 years in my stores...

....I will be holding a free class on WhatsApp
Hit me on 08080281656

Hello sir cant you hold the class on facebook groups pls! I would love to gain a chunk from your overflowing knowledge bank but unfortunately, am not on whatsapp. Pls consider me thanks.

folash:
1) No they are not a registrar, you have to buy your domain elsewhere. Dynadot, namesillo, namecheap, and a host of other registrars' out there for you to choose from.
Whatever you do, stay away from GoDaddy, they would entice you with a cheap price for the first year, and increase it by almost 100% in the subsequent years.

2) Yes they support 1 click WordPress installation.

3) No am not an affiliate, if not I would have provided an affiliate link for you to sign up through. Am just a client that is very pleased with their service, hence why am making the recommendation.

Thanks man.

folash:
If you love yourself, stay away from any Nigerian host. They would promise heaven and Earth, at the end of the day, na one chance.
Google hostkoala, not one of the big names in the industry, but I can swear by their services, and they are unbelievably affordable, and I mean affordable like agege bread.

Hello sir I have some questions.
1. Do they also allow acquisition of domain names together with the web hosting? if yes where do i buy the domain, I have searched through out the site and dont seem to see the purchase a domain option. If No the how do then does it work?
2. Do hey surport 1 click wordpress installation?
3. have you used their services or are just an affiliate?
Thanks

EXICON:
They are the only Nigerian host that is 100% reliable.

I have used other naija hosts (i won't mention names that messed up big time). I tried zillion king host with a website and i saw the grreat difference. Almost 100% uptime. No downtime ever. I host my clients and personal sites with them. Still plan to host more with them.

To me, they are simply the best naija host. Forget all those hypes from those big names. They will give you headaches. I am talking from experience.

Go with zillion and come back with testimony.

My 2cents.

Am having great difficulty making a successful payment. I have tried with Atm card and direct bank transfer. Still says service unavailable.

Am thinking of hosting a wordpress site but am currently out of ideas on a competent host to use. i saw the zillion king ads here so i want to know how reliable they are in terms of uptime. pls only people wjo have used their services should comment.

Bizmagnet:
I use Qservers personally

Hello sir how did you make payment? They just generate d an invoice and nothing else. Howwould they confirm i made a payment to them if i transfer money to them? How come they dont have provision for mastercard payment online.

arenterprise:
Server almost good except for occasional weekends downtime. But the downtime no dey reach 12 hours sa.

Overall they are good but their plans are terrible.

If you want I can show u a good host I'm currently using with unlimited band with and diskspace for just 2,700 first year then 5400 later.
With your permission.

What? 12 freaking hours! Lemme hear the company pls. Hope they are reliable even during weekends. I would have opted for namecheap but their plan is too expensive although its worth it.

Guys am going to be launching a website with wordpress so am in need of a reliable hosting company without server downtime. I got domainking as a recommendation but i still want to hear from esteemed Nairalanders who have used their service. So pls guys how good are they in terms of steady and reliable server? Thanks for your input.

quote 9 ....

I still don't understand what he meant there. Kinda confusing.

We have made a little research on some useful quotes of Nairaland's founder so we deemed it necessary to share some of it with you. Happy reading and I hope you get a thing or two that can help you.

Quote 1

I don't have first class

-I don't have second class upper

- I don't have second class lower

- I don't have third class

- I don't even have pass

- I don't have a degree!

But there is hope for me because I am willing to create my own job. Perhaps you all should try it? - Suen 2006

Quote 2

I am not interested with employment because I will always earn less than people who have the same amount of knowledge but have a degree.

I am fiercely determined to be rich because this is about the only way I can prove my value. As long as you don't look down on me because I don't have a degree, we will be fine. On the other hand, if you are my competitor, I want you to under- rate me!

Quote 3

A job is not a product you create. A job is a need. No one is responsible for creating needs, but thankfully, Human needs are unlimited. Hence, the potential for job creation is unlimited too, if not hindered artificially. - Suen 2010

Thread here

Quote 4

If the best job you can get is a driving job, go for it. There is no value in sitting at home doing nothing. - Suen 2008

Quote 5

No amount of logical reasoning or common sense will convince a woman who doesn't want to be convinced. When you tell a woman "2 + 2 equals 4", she say "no, because 3 + 3 = 6", it simply means you are right!

Feminists will not like this one.

Quote 6

There is no easy business in this world. You need to look for a way to provide a service that is useful to people.

Quote 7

There are lots of opportunities in Nigeria, but some people choose not to see them.

Quote 8

No matter how intelligent you are, you can't make decisions based on what you don't know.

Quote 9

The answer to your question depends on the details of the problem you're working on.

Quote 10

You need to think of what you can do with the resources you currently have at your disposal. Nobody will give you a laptop (except as a free gift) because there's no guaranty that you can make anything useful with it.

Am on it Sir.

More pls

we would provide enough info for you sir. Visit https://austinbridalshop..com/2019/05/10-things-you-probably-didnt-know-of.html

MrBrownJay1:
How did you assume #3 ?! Or did you actually know his siblings financial status?!

I didnt assume sir. i have enough details to make such assumption.

There are tons of mysteries surrounding Nairaland's founder but we would be unraveling a couple of them here.
1. Nairaland's founder created nairaland at the ripe age of 23 way back in 2005.
2. He had 2 siblings with one in the computing sector and sister who is a medical practitioner.
https://www.nairaland.com/8031/sibling-rivalry
3. He made a pledge to surpass his siblings in wealth in a sibling rivalry thread in 2006. Guess he achieved that now.
4. He dropped out from OAU - Obafemi Awolowo University for some reasons best known to him. What makes me think this guy is related to Bill Gates?
5. He is more of an entrepreneur than a programmer. That doesn't mean he can't code! I didn't say that pls. I meant he is more business/money oriented than just writing top notch programs for clients.
6. He is a capitalist. That means he believes in competition.
7. He had a G.p of 4.7 in the first semester before dropping out. Quite a brainy dude I must say.
8. He learnt BASIC programming language at the age of 9 and already messing around with 3d calculations with his laptop.
9. A lady killer. I mean ladies drool over his good looks just check out this thread and watch them ladies toasting and asking him out for relationships.[url] https://www.nairaland.com/9449/official-think-crush-seun[/url]
See, its good to be a nerd!
10. He is was born with a silver spoon. That explains why he could get a laptop, subscription, internet access and a host of other techy stuffs. Considering the cost of SIM cards (N24,000), old Motorola phones ( close to 27k then) not to say of a 213mb RAM laptop.
Stay tuned

Too long

Quality content bro.

1. Nairaland had a sister website
The owner and founder of nairaland had 3 website he was managing at the young days of starting up the Nigerian forum. The name of Nairaland sister website is nairalist.com but it has long being closed down due to some undisclosed reasons and a price tag of $3k slammed on it.
2. Romance section a traffic spinner: It is no new gist that the romance section drives the most traffic in Nairaland. So sexual threads have reached a record 10k views in 1hr. Ironically the website started as forum where mobile network users meetup and interact about issues with their mobile network providers back in 2005. But the sexual topics which was thrown into the off topic section garnered more views and traffic than the main purpose threads. This caused a dynamic change in Nairaland as the founder being business oriented made a standalone section to house Romance threads.
3. Nairaland started as an SMF forum:
Nairaland was previously built and managed with SMF meaning Simple Machines Forum www.simplemachines.org/
a Php driven Content management system used for building scalable website forums with high responsiveness on mobile phones.
It was chosen due to its lightweight and small file size.
But as traffic increased and people registering in their numbers, the whole site had to be redesigned with an easy to maintain language, in this case python.
It is highly possible that a python framework was used in building a brand new Nairaland.
4. $200 bid for Nairaland
Way back in 2005 at the early stages of growth of Nairaland, a user once offered to purchase Nairaland for a price of just $200 (N73,000). But the 'stubborn' administrator turned down the offer.
Guess how much its worth now?
Lesson learnt: Don't rush into selling your assets.
5. Took 8 years to get 1 million members:
Nairaland is no doubt the largest forum in Africa having her first million members after 8 years on January 18th, 2013 at exactly 2:30am Nigerian time.
Although this statistics might be distorted as more than 70% members have at least 2 different monikas due to bans from hyperactive mods.





check this thread
6. 1.5k new members per day:
Nairaland has an estimated new registrations of 1,500 members/day. That is 45,000/month, 225,000 in 5 months and 540,000 in a year.
7. 41 forum sections:
Nairaland has a perceived total of 41 forum sections and 1 hidden section for Moderators ( Ina Caucus only ). We have also calculated an estimated 60 sub-sections. In total making it 100+1 forum sections in Nairaland, biggest in Africa for a reason.
8. 30 moderators:
Nairaland has an estimated value of 30 moderators with 5% currently inactive.
1 Super Super moderator - Seun
2 Super moderators - Mynd44 and lalasticlala
And the rest are normal moderators.
9. Nairaland was hacked!
Yeah that's right. Some unknown circumstances managed to put Nairaland offline for 2 days straight on June 24th 2014. But some people placed the blame on the management as Nairaland was not using a Secured Socket Layer certificate, even the then CMS <SMF> which was powering Nairaland had some vulnerabilities and the website's database wasn't update frequently.
This had the Admin roll back to a 5 months old Database which lead to loss of posts, threads, likes and monikas.
10. The first post on Nairaland was made on March 14th, 2005 by Admin and founder. Here
So there you have it. How many of these did you know?

Nbote:
Dey didn't... If U want to mark Messi out of a game, make sure U disrupt Barca's passing rhythm.. Liverpool high pressing made sure Barca couldn't get d ball beyond d centre circle without having to shoot a long ball which gets to no one but back to liverpool

Nice observation. I guess klopp is a master tactician.

So how did Liverpool managed to keep the Magician at bay. Was it counterpressing, man marking, shadow marking or just out numbering? Your opinions please.

missyb08:
Lol, nope
Ion do such to guys.
But it seems they've done that to you.
Sowie

@embolden: Yeah my grandma is a Virgin too.
Nonsense! Go tell that to the birds.

missyb08:
So, what the guy did was right huh?
Obviously the same thing you would have done.

So what you Girls have being doing is right too, huh?
Leading guys on just to milk his cash, making guys the HOD of Friendzone instead of telling them straight off the bat.
So who got the most scores here, huh?
Yeah i can bet you have being doing same to guys.

I have always told my Gis in to chase the cheque, never chase the Bitch. They would come naturally if you got the Cheque.
But No! They rather be training a girl while their Parents are training them in School.
Trainee training trainee with the money from the Trainer.

I had to screenshot this and find out what your views are based on this.
A lady got dumped after 9 years of relationship.

But seriously, why are some men heartless.
We ladies are also at fault. Why would you abort for a guy, not once but three times.

Because Ladies have being doing same to Guys since time imemorial but you Hypocrites will say nothing about it. But instead praise the lady for choosing to opt out of an incompatible relationship.
Countless times Guys have being broken by these little weavon wearing Idols but nah! You all will turn blind.
A guy trained a lady throughout school only to get dumped with the stupid excuse of ' He is not in my class anymore ' and you Ladies on here be siding the chick and justifying her actions.
Now here is a Guy pulling one back for the Men and you all start screaming foul, Heartless!
Nonsense!
The guy have realised that the relationship won't work, so wants out! QED.
We are allowed the exclusive right to either stay or move out of a relationship at our own convinient time. So whats the fuss?
Now let's see how you like that!
