You are right there whitesoftx,we will never find the best 50 designers self.What do you expect when designers nominate themselves for the award,who no go nominate himself?if you asked me to i will nomite me,me,me,me,me 50 times.
I think the best thing is the thing rest small,let anyone that considers himself guru enough go contest on the global scale.Imust agree though that the sites posted have been tremedousin shedding more lights on the whole thing.KEEP IT UP GUYS!!!

Tommy,
Please defend yourself!!! you have been accused of lifting ideas from Nellys website for the idree abulkareem site.Check out the "top 10 Nigerian website" thread.

Its interesting to know that the loud talking "Flash guru" has suddenly gone "AWOL" since his "sites" has been confirmed to be based on stolen ideas.I am sure if he had not made so much noise,his secret will still be secret.

Oasis,much as i respect your works and opinion,you seems to have limited web designing to dating sites and selling things.I wish to point out that some sites do NOT need to be search engine friendly,they have to be flashy!!! eg: Celebrities sites,footbal clubs sites etc,  their fans will wait for the sites to load even if it takes 3 hours!! Besides while it is true that search engines do not index flash based websites because of the absence of texts,you can get around this by embedding your flash in html and adding metatags to the head section of the html.(i hope this wont bring uneccessary attacks on my works and person!!!)

Kris, if the reason why you design websites is for dating,then you must go the way of Oasis and be a Seo expert.

Hello,
  Timmy,kris and Oasis,i think its time for you to forget this mud slinging and look at the issues objectively,i`ve been to your sites and i discovered that while you are good at one point you are not too good at other points.
  Web designing/development goes beyond what a man can say well i`ve arrived,even google and yahoo sites you sited dont display well with certain brosers and at certain speeds!!.
Instead of all these self proclamation lets see whats good in all of you and combine it,iam sure Nigeria will be better off,when you Timmy/Oasis combine your php with Kris`s design skills to come up with something every Nigerian can call Ours.
