What If I build something that is way better than this platform nairaland, in a more unique and fresh way, would people love to use it

There was already MySpace before Facebook (Blow $$)
There was already Facebook before Instagram (Blow $$)
There was already Snapchat before Tiktok (Blow $$)


There was already Twitter before Threads (Died)


You'll never know unless you build it.

Na you get your mouth. Na everybody hey their own mouth too.

This idea of paid impression on social media has made a lot of people quite huseless to society though and sensible discussions - I always insist on not dignifying ignorance with a response because most of them will clap back rather than engage in conversation - clap backs get more reach, and also gets featured on NL FP.

She has a right to speak her mind, and also has a right to be ignored.

I see zero need about all these kind gaslighting. Trying so hard to appear strong?

Maybe na pride or something, but I've never seen a need to put my personal business online o - not in cryptic languages, and not anonymously.

Sha... Live and let live.

Very well put 💯
That's why whenever anyone asks "which tech skill should I learn?", i often tell them to go an research and pick something that aligns with their interest.

Picking what pays is goood, but if you don't have a sort of leaning towards it, you'd waste your time and resources.

This also happens if you forcd anyone to learn something, waste of effort.

Rude??

With your interpretation of his facial expression as being angry that they're dancing near him.... Are you implying he is ignorant of what happens in marriage?

The photography was a dumbo who could not find a more perfect shot. A professional should know that the objects in proximity of the main object of capture has to speak an align story too - him no fit snap when the .an smile, or when he was spraying ni

Thank you for standing firm on the sacredness of the Benin Tradition and the Authority of the Royal Throne!!!!

When a man is not paying your bills but getting your attention and sex on a platter, he'll definitely give you every attention.

Wait until you become his responsibility and see if he'll still be the same man.

They don't know. While we won't deny that some men are jackass as as husbands, and some women really do deserve better, but to leave something you "decided to enter when it was all sweet" because you see people wey dey "support" you, it's the height of inability to think for your own self.

Be strategic, if you no longer find value in a union, try to make it work, while also building your own independence, then leave (men or women).

So, for the sake of your kids, marry a woman who is hardworking sha, so that even if the marriage sink, she is still financially self-sufficient without relying on deeek-outs, i mean hand outs.

Sonnobax15:
Kobo, do you have a problem with "making sense" most times? . Cuz I don't just understand you at all..

People dey ignore am make e for carry e ignorance commot from the thread, una dey mention am. Una dey find e attention abi wetin? Cos that user comments only to sound controversial.. scarcely ever any touch on reality or close to sense

See the kain unholy laugh wey I laugh just now eh 😂😂😂😂. That lion don give up

In the words of Metuselah in 1963, "Either you grow a pair of big ballz and confront her about it (restate your terms of the relationship - transparency - of which if she's not okay to remove all the stuff or let you have access, then stop the relationship) or you just accept her like that - she after is just a girlfriend and has a right to not let you have access to her "stuff".

Either way grow some steel ballz.

When those in power become truly intentional about caring about the people at all, it takes just one hearing for a law to be passed, banning these trucks from plying the roads during the day.

But heck no, it will affect logistics for the elites who get their hands watered to ignore the real things that should be addressed.

May the souls of the dead, rest in peace.

The current one good abeg.
Make una let am focus on other features.

The current one almost resembles my VsCode theme 😅

Yaaaay! And we got dark mode 🔥
Seun is on fire 💯💯

Well done Sir, shows you're still interested in listening to user feedback. Well done Sir

tosinhtml:
You'll be amazed that this small change he did took him like some weeks of testing all around the forum, It looks like a simple change but can take time to ensure nothing breaks overall.

Nope, it's his codebase, he definitely knows it like the back of his hands. Besides, it's just a small css tweak - applied with a good use of media query won't break sh*t.

Anyone that clicks is a potential client, so make the most of it.

State the areas/cities you deliver to.
Show pictures of foods you've prepared.
Show pictures of your "hygienic" kitchen - package your service well.

When real recognize real.
That babe with corn na my spec already 😝. Girls like that are usually very free-spirited, no "yanga".

That interest thing made me remove my money from there too. Small #370 wey dey the account, them nack me #227 as sms charge. Note I use 9mobile and sms nor dey lie lie deliver. Who dem con charge?

About interest, atleast my current bank say, you only get interest on savings if you do less than 4 withdrawal in a month maybe GT also has their own T&C

whippersnapper:
Bad wives are given from the devil. You attract what you are. You cannot sleep and disvirgin all the girls in your locality and expect to marry a faithful woman.

😂 Na different ones una dey pass dey come.

How else do we explain the problem of evil? Dash it to the devil.

How about, saying the person married a bad wife because they were after certain things (money, connection, sxxx, banging body) and turned a blind eye to the character flaws of the person they married?

PulsingPurple:
We've said this countless times.

If he goes as far as opening up maybe the front end as an Open Source Project on GitHub...
I believe a lot of people including myself will contribute changes that he can either approve, reject or tweak.

Naija man open source code? E no possible 😝. Plus developers tend to have this "It is my code and feature implementation" complex which i think affects the integration of really cool functionalities that users have suggested over the years.

I think he just wants to keep the site closest to how it looked like for the Oldies who have been members since the early 2010s.... The current look isn't attracting any New Gen z audience.

Seun:
Create a sample and upload it for members to critique.

If you're open to this, some of us will be happy to make simple UI proposals that would look nice without overhauling the nostalgic appearance of NL as we have come to like it o😁

😁 Our very own Mark Zuckerberg don touch nairaland source code for the Quote, Like and Share Buttons 😁

span {
border-radius: 4px;
border: 1px solid #something;
}

Next....
1. Micro animations/interaction.
2. Being able to sort comments in a thread by number of likes.
3. An upvote on posts so that posts that get like 500 upvotes automatically get featured on the front page or so - democracy feature 😝

Sunnyshinylight:
Absolutely? You can ask again, but this time, think deeply before you ask.

Let's not offload our responsibility to God e. All good comes from God, all evil is our fault. Doesn't show good understanding about who God is.

Who brings the evil ones?

Or all who have terrible spouses (husband or wife) rejected the good gifts and insisted on the bad?

Would make a good conversation

Everyone has their own way of reading into things. If you had the means of seeing him in person, then the WhatsApp request is off-ish.

You for just use email (makes it more official), if you no wan see am one on one.

The statement should be that NEVER MARRY A PARTNER who is jobless, has no personal ambitions, and doesn't see him/herself anywhere outside looking good, having kids and being wife/husband (unless you don't care about a financially prudent partner).

Na who dey earn money fit appreciate how hard it is to get money.

Fair skinned or dark skinned, liability in a partner is a life stagnating thing.

FatherCHRISTMAS:
Have you ever felt like running away. Like just run away to where nobody or family can reach you.
It doesn't mean you don't care, but things can get overwhelming

Mehn... Honestly Bro.
But we just gotta find one more reason to stay strong for those who look up to us right? It's the world we're in.

Who stays strong for the guy who's always offering a shoulder for others to lean on... Sometimes, nobody.

And the other people gender-tapping, the man just wants to voice out in few words and push out the vibe that informed the thread, goan open your own threads for women who feel like running away too.

helinues:
In Africa, that's a tradition for the second hand foreign clothes.

My own curiosity is, if we have Tailors that are sewing our native wear which they look glamorous, why can't those tailors start buying whatever materials they are using for the foreign clothes and start producing it here.

The shoe makers as well, why should we still be spending extra in getting foreign shoes when we have creative shoe makers across Nigeria?

When the really creative ones that are skillful enough to make competing quality nack you bill eh, you go run go buy the one wey Hilary Thomas dash salvation army 😂.


Our top talents in these fields are unreachable by minimum wage population.

Learn video editing and cinematography.
And take this from someone who's already into tech.

Apart from the cost of the tools you're getting, the market is very open if you really good in the skill and are creative - I'm talking editing for businesses (local and international), Content Creators, et all, weddings, events.

For UI/UX, you need a lot to prior experience to break into that field as your potential clients/employers are companies (mostly startups or agencies - building a new project), and you're competing with way way younger people in the UI/UX field unless you want to do some internships for a while.

Not there's competition in both field... Still on still, follow your heart.

Is the training open to other individuals? Me for like join o 😌

YouTube

You for just sweet talk them into financing one small pos business for you instead of going to stay in their house for green pasture (small joke, naim make dem use you dey clear grass 😅).

Even if na Senior sister, no go lodge for inlaw house more than a night (and that's because them beg you to stay - oh yes, get pride).

Apart from the obvious fact that you were deek-blocking with your presence, but familiarity naim dey born twins we dem dey call contempt).

Here's a birthday gift.
Take responsibility.

You mentioned a lot of things which is like blaming the absence of what others could have provided, but you didn't see how important it is that you have gone out to make those things for yourself.


There's no need regretting anything. Some of us knew at a very early age, that there won't be helpers, no connections, no free money, and I'm talking VERY YOUNG AGE... Did we give up? Nope, it made us self-sufficient and hardworking.

You can start a new chapter today.
