"@Seun, no mind them, let them go and make their own. . .

Honestly speaking, you are just one of those who make so much noise and attempting to use part of their brain. If you know SMF and how it works, you will not make these assumptions.

I lack ideas- , you really make me laugh. IF you know what number of stuffs going on in Nigeria that has my name on it as the First- you will smoothly retract that talk.

Have you seen a Sat Nav for Nigeria before? It came out from this brain which you said has no ideas- and by His Grace, I have made millions out of selling it. Tell me you dont care, rain curses, it doesnt matter. I dont care if you now know who I am, but it is good not to talk without really knowing about who you talking to, and if that bothers others and want to rant against me, i tell them to keep it.

Now, I run one of the fora around using SMF and I know how SMF works, what you can add to it - how you can do it, etc.

You said Seun should do something, yet, you said you cant say what he should do. LOL

you can never beat facebook,  at least not in the next 50 years

luluosas:

Facebook will be beaten hands down any time, any day. Just wait for the full implementation of Google+.

I'm quite shocked at hearing that Sweet Pawns NL apps never smelt the homepage!

One area that we Nigerians shine and are magnificently good at is in constantly criticizing other people because we feel that if we were in their shoes, we would be doing a better job than they are currently doing. In the western world, a man does not give advice to an entrepreneur on how to better the entrepreneur's business, he will seize that opportunity to provide to the masses what he feels that is lacking in the entrepreneur's products and, hopefully, displace the entrepreneur. At worst, competition exists and the consumers still wins. If you want a better Nairaland, shut up, grab a keyboard and create it!

I REMEMBER WATCHING ONE EPISODE OF DRAGON'S DEN. THE APPLICANT WAS A GUY WHO WON ONE COMPETITION/AWARD THAT FORMER PRESIDENT OBJ HOSTED. THE GUY CREATED HIS OWN SOAP, PERFUME, DETERGENT CHEMICAL BASE FOR PAINTS, INSECTICIDES AND MANY OTHER STUFF. HE CAME TO THE DEN TO ASK THE DRAGONS FOR INVESTMENT CAPITAL. WHEN ASKED WHAT HE WANTED TO INVEST IN, HE MENTIONED ALL HIS AWARDS AND CITED QUOTES THAT THE PRESIDENT AND SAID OF HIM AND SAID HE SOUGHT TO CREATE MORE THINGS.

HE WAS ADVISED BY ONE OF THE DRAGONS TO PICK AN ITEM FROM THE LIST OF THINGS HE HAD DONE, WHICH WOULD SELL VERY WELL IN THE NIGERIAN MARKET AND INVEST IN THAT ITEM FOR NOW. LATER ON HE COULD CONCENTRATE ON OTHER THINGS. HE RESPONSE? HE MENTIONED ALL HIS AWARDS AND CITED QUOTES THAT THE PRESIDENT AND SAID OF HIM AND SAID HE SOUGHT TO CREATE MORE THINGS.

THEN THE DRAGON LADY TOOK HER TIME TO CALMLY GET HIM TO SEE THAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT INVESTMENT IN BUSINESS, AND THAT HE HAD GOOD POTENTIALS BUT HE NEEDED TO FOCUS ON ONE PRODUCT SO THAT THEY COULD KNOW WHAT THEY WERE INVESTING IN. HIS RESPONSE? HE MENTIONED ALL HIS AWARDS AND CITED QUOTES THAT THE PRESIDENT AND SAID OF HIM AND SAID HE SOUGHT TO CREATE MORE THINGS.

THEN THEY POLITELY WALKED HIM OUT OF THE DRAGON'S DEN STUDIO.

BOTTOM-LINE: THE GUY REFUSED TO LISTEN TO THE ADVICE OF SEASONED BUSINESS ENTREPRENEURS AND RELIED ON HIS OWN ACHIEVEMENTS WHICH TILL TODAY, HAS NOT TAKEN HIM BEYOND THE SHORES OF HIS HOUSE COMPOUND. YES HE SHONE FOR A WHILE, AND THEN IT ALL ENDED. BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO LISTEN TO ADVICE OF OTHERS.

ANYTIME I THINK ABOUT THIS SITE, I REMEMBER THE GUY ON DRAGON'S DEN.
HOW MANY TIMES HAVE MEMBERS POSTED MEANINGFUL SUGGESTIONS? BUT ALL FELL ON DEAF EARS, COS ONE WAS TOO BUSY TO LISTEN . EVEN ALMIGHTY GOOGLE REQUEST FOR USERS TO MAIL THEM SUGGESTIONS TO HELP MAKE THEIR PRODUCT BETTER COS THEY KNOW THEY HAVE TO BE ABREAST OF THEIR COMPETITORS. ONE SLACK ATTEMPT FROM THEM AND GBAM! THEY ARE OVERTAKEN. THAT'S WHY THEY ARE SECOND TO NONE ON EARTH! BECAUSE THEY LISTEN TO THE USERS AND TAKE THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS.

BUT HERE WE HAVE A ONE MAN SHOW. WHO IS CONTENT WITH WHAT IS ON GROUND. SO LONG FOLKS KEEP POSTING EVERY DAY, SO LONG THOSE GOOGLE ADS ARE BEING CLICKED, SO LONG THE LITTLE BIG MONEY COMES IN EVERY MONTH, WHY ASK FOR MORE?

AND THAT HAS BEEN THE TREND FROM 2005 TILL DATE. NO CHANGE.NO INNOVATION.NO NOTHING.

EMBARRASSED BY THE SITUATION AND IN APPRECIATION OF THE FACT THAT THE SITE DID ALLOW ME TO GAIN MANY CUSTOMERS ONLINE, I DECIDED TO CREATE A LINE OF DESKTOP APPS UNDER THE USER NAME, SWEET_PAWN. IT TOOK ME TIME AND PAINSTAKING EFFORT BUT MY PAINS VANISHED WHEN I SAW HOW MANY NAIRALANDERS APPLAUDED THE INNOVATION. I MADE THE FIRST DESKTOP APP FOR NAIRALAND, THEN THE SECOND: IT NEVER GOT ANYWAY NEAR HOMEPAGE. PEOPLE ASKED WHY? LORD KNEW. I CARED LESS. THE FACT THAT PEOPLE LIKED IT WAS ENOUGH FOR ME. THEN AS I WAS ABOUT TO MAKE THE THIRD. . . I GOT MY TREADS DELETED. THEN AFTER EVERY THING I WAS BANNED TO THIS DAY WITH A USELESS EXPLANATION GIVEN BY THE SPAMBOT AND MY MAILS WERE NEVER RETURNED.


THEN IT OCCURRED TO ME. WHO SO EVER OWNS THIS SITE DOES NOT WANT OUTSIDE INTERFERENCE WITH ITS DEVELOPMENT, JUST LIKE THAT GUY ON DRAGONS DEN. LEAVE HIM OR HER ALONE TO DO THINGS AT HIS OR HER OWN TIME, EVEN IF IT TAKE THE NEXT 10 YEARS. THEY DO NOT WANT HELP. THEY ARE LONE RANGERS.

SO @OP LIKE omokay01 SAID, LEAVE THEM ALONE. ITS NO USE. YOU WILL NEVER BE ANSWERED. YOU WILL GET YOURSELF SNUBBED OR AS YOU FEARED, EVEN BANNED! IF THEY CHOOSE TO LEAVE THINGS AS THEY ARE SO BE IT. SOON THEY WILL BE OVER TAKEN BY EVENTS INSTEAD OF TAKING OVER EVENTS!

THE END.

luluosas:

Just like the picture on your profile, your likes are the not useful ones. How do you mean that, an entrepreneur does not need advice. Look, if you are a lone ranger in your business, there is every tendency that, you will fail. Ideas are universally spread and therefore, nobody can lay claim to knowing it all. If I may ask you. Are you an entrepreneur or an employee? If you can answer me, it will give me the chance to respond to you better. Until then,

If you can build your own site to beat Nairaland I'll applaud you and retire.

Seun:

I'm sorry if my site (number 2 in Africa) is a disappointment to you guys.
Maybe I'm not as clever as you make me out to be, but I can assure you that
what I'm doing is absolutely my very best. And I'm lucky that it's enough.
If you can build your own site to beat Nairaland I'll applaud you and retire.
