Do you listen to yourself. If the Nigeria government close down their office in Nigeria, do you think Sony will care. Do you think they make their money from Nigeria. Maybe the Nigerian government will even do Sony a favor by closing the Sony office in Nigeria. Either way, Nigeria will lose more and more. If people are portraiting Nigeria as bad is because that is the way the country is. You have to face the truth. Someone has to teach Nigeria and the government that they needs to pay more attentions to the suffering citizens.
My friend, just don't jump into the middle of my comments. Get the drift of it and don't try to twist it or don't comment about it all. Yes, I'm listening to myself. Do you know what Korean ruler called Hilary Clinton and do you know why he said what he did about her? Hilary made a foul statement, not even as heavy as this, and she got a taste of the man's bitter slandering; that may not be a perfect example but it's related to this in a way that when you make negative remarks, you hear back from the person you make it again, no matter what. So suck up your opinion to yourself. If SONY is closed down I don't see it hurting Nigeria at all and no, they closing it will be bad for their business. The only company you'll close down that will hurt Nigeria real bad is MTN, SONY, hell no! Rephrase that.

If SONY thought what they did was so right or they can't be reprimanded, why did they change it? You don't stay in that dark and start whistling those non-existent ideas. The truth is Nigerians are scammers? Is that what you're telling me? Are you a scammer too? Pray tell, what portion of Nigeria is involved in fraud, maybe 20% (if it's up to that at all) and this portion automatically speaks in full for the rest? Think again! A very little fraction of Nigerians are involved in this and it's an insult if it's labeled on the country like it's her trademark. I don't condone what they are doing but in spite of that you don't open your mouth and make foul remarks at a country.

Sony has achieved its marketing strategy. That game will sell like pure water.
God will bless you abundantly. They use it to popularize the game too.
texazzpete:
Hmm, let's say your Objective is to elminAte things that bring ridicule and shame to Nigeria's image. What do you think is the greater evil - sony's ad or the thousands of scammers sending mails in your neighbourhood?
Eliminate scammers sending emails. . . matter of fact I'm hunting them too. I want you to understand where I'm coming from this time.
More derogatory remarks can be made about Nigeria by new agencies or awareness programs, forums, meetings, symposiums, etc, and it'll pass - at least in my opinion - as a good deed trying to protect their own in the only powerful way they can - passing along information.

But for a company, an international company at that, to make such remarks in an ad makes no sense. It's a slurring remark attempted at a country. I take an offense to that statement, not because it's right or wrong, but because it's from a company. It's not their business and it has nothing to do with their business, so why introduce it at all?

@ Theseeker, dude! u hv to be realistic angry i am also in my final semester and believe me it's not such a cool thing seeing your friends in other universities go to camp while ASUU and FG are holding you captive. its not selfishness, its being human. undecided
I'm being realistic. You only need to understand what this is all about. I'm not saying it's a good thing after all I know how education is out here way better than Nigeria, but the fact remains if there is going to be sanity in Nigerian universities these issues need to be agreed upon once and for all. For good things to happen, some people have to bear the sacrifice. For the future generations to enjoy a saner education some have to pay the price and you're one of those people; it's so funny that people don't want to bear any cost these days for growth.

Your friends may be finishing from other schools but remember like you said, those are private schools and they don't have anything to do with you at all or you should have chosen to go to a private university. How would you feel in the next 2 years they tell you your brother has to pay 150K as tuition? It'll feel good? You need to be realistic too. You're just trying to shy away from what the truth is.

Do you know how long this issues with FG has been going on? It's been a long time coming. These issues need be tackled and someone has to do it. Past ASUU leaders have failed and this one wants to do it right, support them and stop crying foul. Blame it all on the FG, ASUU has nothing to do with this.

lol. Did i hear someone say Sony was 'defaming' Nigeria? As in, you think we aren't guilty as charged?
Yes, I said defame. By your understanding, because a few percentage of Nigerians are criminals, therefore all Nigerians are criminals? If they are banking on the characters of a minute sect of Nigeria to insult a larger populace, then I call it defamation. Anyone else who reason properly will call it defamation because, I for one, am not a criminal, and so are many others -- so the collective stereotyping of Nigerians is an insult.

@theseeker,
i quite agree with you on the approach Sony took which is absolutely wrong for an organisation of such magnitude.
opening itself that much, i would have believed they have legal advice on the implication of such adds being released to the public.
afterall Nigeria has every right to sue them and even close their company here down.

but my pain is this, consider the amount of applications from Nigerians they get for job placement yearly,
and how many they have had to turn down, not cos of sub-requirements, but rather forthe mere fact that they are Nigerians.
it pains me that opportunities we could easily exploit to show our skills and talents are being denied us simply be cos we possess an identity that is fast being seen as an outcast in the world.
Exactly what I'm saying. SONY as a brand and international product has no right whatsoever to use any country negatively in an advert, that's what people don't understand. News agency can say whatever they want and even tune it up, it's their responsibility to let the public know about it. After all, if they don't say it, we won't know either but for SONY, it's unacceptable. Nigerian Government has a lot to do and Dora has got no charisma at all. Now, I miss Frank Nweke, Jnr. Dora is just a wide-mouthed fool; she lacks substance (who in Yaradua's government doesn't).

Rebarobyn:
sending them away from nigeria does not solve any problem. at least they stopped the ad, that says a lot.

however, dora akunyili has a lot of work to do regarding scams and fraud, they should first give all internet companies an ultimatum to get all IP addresses registered and linked to a traceable address or person, all cell phones using the internet service should be registered too. get softwares to trace scam letters, put an effective and well-equipped anti-fraud/scam agency in place and then work with the senate to pass and Act to allow for stiff punishments for fraudsters/scammers and their accomplices - I think a 20yr sentence sounds good afterall some countries like Libya kill such people. If we had a good national identification system, it would have helped but what a shame, they made a mess of it.

I believe this is the way forward but our problems are just too many!
I wish this could work but it's impossible. US can't even trace all IPs with all the advanced technology -- they can trace those who use direct IP address -- not when they use anonymity softwares. In Nigeria, it's a zero functionality.

Its obvious u are out of school, or maybe you went to a Private uni, so u dont understand the frustration, desperation of students, ive been in my Final semester since Oct last year, both ASUU and FG are very stupid, most of their rumblins are 4 their material gains likewise d FG, why cant the FG inject N100b in d education sector, cos Education is not priority of the FG, those dat knw either sends their kids to private of overseas. Imagine the stupid FG/ASUU pausing my career from October last year till now, my colleagues we gained admission same year in the private univ would pass out of Camp soon. So anyway or anyhow they must resume as soon as possible.
You're in your final semester. Please, can you see past your selfishness and consider there are people in their first semester and that there are students who will be resuming in the future? Yes, you might say they are fighting for material gains but sure it's for the good of the general student populace. Look at where universities are left to generate funds to pay their own staff and provide other infrastructures and see how tuition fees will be increased in just more than geometric progression. You're all desperate but you don't know the implication of resuming without having everything solved right now. Beats my imagination how you all ended up in school when you don't even have an idea of what's going on within the university system.

sometimes we need outsiders to tell us some home truth.
maybe its time we get off our high horse and do the right thing.

this is a case of your neighbour insulting you about your weakness. as much as it hurts, its the truth.
if we close down their office, do u know the amount of nigerians you are gonna put out of jobs world-over?
lets not get lost from the big picture"Nigeria needs a make-over" and not re-branding.
you re-branding something that already has an identity, what identity do we have that we want to re-brand?
Yes, I agree with you on that. But we don't need outsiders to tell us necessarily because we already know that some Nigerians are crooks, and will always be crooks. All I was just trying to say is a global company such as SONY should have known better than put up such ad. CNN, BBC, Oprah have all said worse things about Nigeria and it doesn't irk me because it's their responsibility to inform the public of whatever is going on around them and offer probable solutions to them, but from a company? I think it's totally absurd.
GamingRe: Sony Changes Playstation 3 Ad After Nigerian Government Complains by TheSeeker(m): 7:59am On Sep 09, 2009
Nigeria Government should have done the worse and temporarily close down their offices in Nigeria; only then will they have known what they were into. Where was that rotten sense when they needed it before putting Nigeria in their defaming ad? Fagots!

Yo! I'm not a lady. Look beside my username.

There's nothing new about doing fraud but Nigerians' notoriety in it is alarming and troubling. And why shouldn't Nigerians feel embarrassed about corruption/419/fraud? Are you one of them? No sane, hardworking and honest Nigeria will not feel embarrassed. In my opinion, I'd have preferred Nigerians were terrorists than fraudsters.

ComputersRe: Blue Screen On My Laptop by TheSeeker(m): 5:42am On Sep 09, 2009
If it's what Deji posted that shows on your screen, I think it definitely has to be that you installed a program and the system doesn't currently work well with it. It's happened to my laptop lots of times but I think it's mainly because I installed some softwares on all the occasions. So what I do is uninstall the program, reboot, and it works normally.

Also you have to make sure you restart your system every time to make a new installation. If you have to install ten different softwares, restart your system each time you. This will enable it to configure properly and integrate all the window files or whatever it is called, and subsequently update all the changes.

Therefore, if this immediately or within a short time, happened after you installed a software, uninstall it, go to your program files on the hard drive directory and delete the the programs folder, restart your system and see if it happens again. If that doesn't work, you might want to reload your windows, I think.

I'm not a computer guru but I've always had to deal with my computer problems myself, so Deji, correct me if I'm wrong.

It's a shame that some students are clamoring that they resume when they don't have an iota of idea about what ASUU is fighting for. Let them resume without their demands met and see your tuition fees ricochet to =N= 150,000 if not even more. I wonder why you all go to school, and worse call yourselves students.

PS: If you're going to attack me, best come up with an outlined detail of what ASUU is fighting for, of course except the obvious -- salary increment. You had better get on your knees and pray their demands are met or some of you making lousy noises will end being dropouts or better still, paying your fees through your nose or with your blood. angry

It's so implicative (I watched some of the videos myself) and if justice is to be done, I don't think he's winning this one no matter what the clauses in legal battles are.

I can vividly say that if all those evidences are accepted, and justice isn't bought, no sane judge will turn blind eyes to the videos - they were smashing - but like I said, let's hope justice isn't bought.
