Phones / Re: Help With Office Phone And Internet Solution by stkris(m): 6:14am On Jul 01, 2011
Any suggestions?
Business / Re: Walmart In Nigeria by stkris(m): 4:38am On Jul 01, 2011
While Walmart isnt the holiest of companies, and is known to balance its budget on the back of its employees, i'm pretty darn sure having them over in nigeria is

more of a positive than a negative, however u want to view it.

whether in terms of job creation or product quality(even though they typically sell sub-standard items)


To call it as it is, how much worse can nigeria get. are we talking about the same nation where almost everyone is unemployed, the lucky ones are

underemployed, and even these few "employed" ones commonly go months n months without pay at their "jobs". ?

If you dont want a foreign body to occupy ur space, there is only one logical thing to do; occupy the darn space.


That said, if you have a problem with these kinds of prospects, and u're not personally doing anything about job creation in that nation,
i kindly ask that u SHUT DA HELL UP.
Phones / Help With Office Phone And Internet Solution by stkris(m): 5:38am On Jun 30, 2011
What would be the best option for a fixed wireless phone provider.
It will be needed for a small office in Ikeja, and the ability to bundle it with a decent (by naija standards) internet connection is very important.

i checked out visafone on their website but the only office-type phone seemed to have a low data transfer capability.

i'll appreciate any suggestions. Thanks
Romance / Re: Will You Marry Someone Outside Your Tribe Or Ethnic Group? by stkris(m): 8:56am On Jun 26, 2011
its 2011 for pete's sake!
1- if u carry out any action or decision based on preconceived notions, then u got it bad.
2- no matter how awesome u are n how much u try, u can not impress everyone.


Heres how it goes down:

Scenario 1 : you- eligible for marriage n live outside Nigeria; dating a white or another race.

you: Hey Mum/Dad i want to marry this white person i'm in love with.
Mum/Dad: My son/daughter what happened to all the fine "black" Americans we see, why not marry one of those instead, u know how these "oyibo" people are.

Scenario 2: you- eligible for marriage n live outside Nigeria; dating an African American.

You: Hey Mum/Dad i want to marry this African American i'm in love with.
Mum/Dad: My son/daughter what happened to all the fine "Nigerian" girls there, why not marry one of them, you know how those "akata" people are

Scenario 3: : You- eligible for marriage n live outside Nigeria; dating a Nigerian.

You: hey Mum/dad i want to marry this Nigerian i'm in love with.
Mum/Dad: My son/daughter why not come back home n marry a "nice n cultured" person; you know how Nigerians abroad are.

scenario 4: : You- eligible for marriage n now in Nigeria; dating a Nigerian.

You: Hey mum/Dad i want to marry this person i love from Bleep state/tribe.
Mum/Dad: chai! my pikin, dont bring shame to this family. what happened to all the people of our state/tribe; you know how people from that state/tribe are.

Scenario 5: : you- eligible for marriage n  in Nigeria; dating a member of your tribe.

you: Hey mum/dad i want to marry this person i love from our tribe.
Mum/Dad: Really? thats nice. what village?
you: xxxxx
Mum/Dad: what? ? no no no no no!. . . do u know how evil those people are? what happened to all the people from our village.

scenario 6: : You- eligible for marriage n in Nigeria; dating one from your village.

You: hey mum/Dad i want to marry this person from our village.
Mum/Dad: thats great! what clan/family?
you: xxxx
Mum/Dad: Never!! do you know those people wronged our family 200 years ago? for that reason they are horrible people.


At this point, i'm guessing you might as well start checking out your cousins. if that does not work, then maybe your own brother/sister will be approvable.

Every Nigerian trying to get married has been faced with an opposition in one of these scenarios. Maybe not from Mum n Dad, but other family members n friends.

The point here is this: No one cares about your happiness. They are more concerned about you fulfilling what they imagine to be the ever evasive "ideal union."

To this end, please marry only who makes you happy for no reason. everything and everyone else is secondary.

no, it isnt true.
Religion / Re: This Is Not Another Pastor Bashing Thread! by stkris(m): 7:19pm On May 22, 2011
dademonie:

Bishop David Oyedepo did not become rich in just a day,  remember seek ye first the kingdom of God and all other things (private jets, houses, etc) shall be added unto thee. Pls note that he doesn't force the congregration to give offerings or tithe they give it willingly. Moreover, giving to the poor doesn't make the poor rich or perhaps comfortable because most poor people are lazy they prefer sitting down on the street begging than doing something profitable to themselves and the society(give a poor man bread today he will come back tommorow for another).


And ur point being what??
if u ask me, i'd rather give the poor and have him come back than further enrich an already obscenely wealthy individual.


Nigerians have taken it upon themselves to be the most gullible people ever. There is no explaining why a pastor needs 4 private jets, when more than half his congregation came to church on a commercial motorcycle only to be persuaded out of their last dime.

To those saying these things are given willingly, i say; not at all. for a pastor whose primary focus is prosperity and not salvation or love, i don't think it will be too difficult to convince an already gullible crowd that if they don't give up all they have to GOD (in other words 'man of god') they will never prosper.

Religion in my opinion should be practiced at fundamental levels and not all the craziness thats been added to it.

using Nigeria as a case study, it is clearly evident that over-religiousness does not help. Otherwise, kindly explain how Nigeria is one of the most religious nations in the world, and on the other hand, one of the most corrupt in the world. Not even political corruption, but corruption at the most basic individual levels, to the point where it is a way of life.

And can someone also explain to me why people have to pay large sums of money to see these "men of god" for personal prayers. if they are truly out to do the work of GOD, they would not be outright trading whatever they have to offer for cold hard cash. So in other words, if u are poor and need prayers, the big "man of god" has a message for u; GO EFF URSELF.
Religion / Re: Bishop Oyedepo Acquires Yet Another N4.5b Private Jet by stkris(m): 6:32am On Apr 09, 2011
Idea.ng:

caption should have been LIVING FAITH CHURCH Acquires Yet Another N4.5b Private Jet , takes some sting off de man. 1981 when he started poor people were classified 2 be as poor as 'church' rats n parents wept when their wards opted 2 preach de good news of christ; today the words church and 'pastor' has become synonymous with wealth due to men of God like him, Idahosa, Adeboye et al. Besides if any organization ought 2 be sitting on money it should be God's organization, he owns the money. Finally while they can not take care of large congregations, cell fellowships or small groups in the church have the responsibility of catering for their members especially those in need and they are funded fully for this purpose by the church.
Please leave the man of God alone.


Until the congregation is allowed free access to "their" private jet whenever they need to travel, then come back with the bold line above.

"Men of God" can shove it for all i care. if all u do is preach "prosperity," and that prosperity is geared only to ur pocket by way of your congregation, then once again this "Man of God" can shove it even higher.

4 freakin private jets. . paid for by some of the poorest and most gullible people on the planet. . its a damn shame!

TV/Movies / Re: "BLACK GOLD" New Nollywood Hit By Jeta Amata by stkris(m): 4:27am On Nov 20, 2010
uhmm. . am i missing something here? or how is this any different from any other naija production.

0:42- 0:45 was one decent shot i saw ( effective use of shallow depth of field) , second one 1:00 - 1:12 (effective crane descent).

everything else = good ol boring, in your face nollywood shots. Then again, thats just my opinion.

i understand the rationale behind picking them up in a large open vehicle, so they could enjoy the cheers of fans and all,

but what i dont get is how the eff they felt that old blue drum was the one.

Culture / Re: Pidgin To Become A Formal Language by stkris(m): 4:47am On Sep 24, 2010
uhhm. . formal language?? the prospect of that might sound exciting, but the true beauty of speaking pidgin
lies in the ability to do so however the heck u want.

Take that freedom and flexibilty; put it in a confined structure with 'standardized' set of rules.

now there you have it; another soulless language ridden with conformity.

thanks guys for your responses, i will email u guys that posted emails some more details, and a pic of the space. for the purpose of the place, i have reviewed and determined that aluminium will not work coz of its fusion with glass; owing to privacy issues.

plus it is a little too formal for the intended purpose. so i guess it has to be wood or something in that category like plasterboard as suggested above. Considering that i live in an all wood house thats 100 years old, i dont see why wood shouldnt work. any other suggestions will be appreciated. thanks
