Business / Re: What Is Your Experience With Shoptomydoor by kael: 10:05pm On Aug 10, 2015
Just received my package i purchased on amazon from shop to my door. I was initially sceptical because the items were to be used for an event on the 15th of August, but I decided to give them a try and it paid off. I was regularly updated with tracking info and my item arrived 2 days ahead of schedule.

TV/Movies / Disney partners with Ebony Life To Bring Desperate Housewives To Nigeria by kael: 7:15am On Oct 14, 2013
Announced at the ongoing MIPCOM 2013 (the international TV and entertainment market held in Cannes once every year; where content is introduced for co-producing, buying, selling, financing and distributing)...

Ben Pyne, president of global distribution at Disney, revealed that an "African version" of Desperate Housewives - the once comedy/drama series created by Marc Cherry, and broadcast byABC from 2004 until 2012 - is currently in development, for a summer 2014 debut.

The co-production deal is with Nigeria-based EbonyLife TV (no affiliation with Ebony magazine) - a multi-platform broadcaster, and subsidiary of Media and Entertainment City Africa (MEC Africa) in Cross River State, Nigeria.

Desperate Housewives the "African version" will feature a pan-African cast, and will be set in Lagos, Nigeria, where it will also be shot, with a summer 2014 debut date set, airing in 44 countries within the continent.

“We are going to make it relevant, number one, by using local talent — talent that our viewers will know and love; two, we are going to work with local stylists, local fashion designers, local interior designers," said Mo Abudu, CEO and executive chairman, EbonyLife TV, to Variety“We are going to give the stories an African flavor. We will localize it, because there’s nothing that the West has that Africa doesn’t have: we love, we fight, we kiss, we make up. We like all the good things in life. There’s good and there’s evil globally. So all those human interests, those things that appeal to you, believe me, appeal to us also.”

Well then...

The original ABC TV series followed the dramatic lives of a group of women, over a 13-year period, and 8 seasons, as seen through the eyes of a dead neighbor who committed suicide in the very first episode. 

The series has seen remakes in Turkey, Colombia, and Brazil, since its debut.

So the obvious question here is, what actresses from the continent will make up the ensemble cast in the Nigeria-set version of Desperate Housewives? Nollywood talents should definitely get some looks here...

When will they offer quality cheap internet service in Nigeria?
These network are 2 steps backward LTE, 4G then 3G and they are happy with it cos NCC is not bothering them. All NCC care about is call call call. Who calls again?

I really don't blame NCC it because the pple that manage it are all old men! So they prefer calling. Our internet networks are trying lyk swift 4G, mobitel 4G, unwired 4G. But these re internet networks that can only work with systems and via wifi hotspot.

Plus their modems aint mobile and expensive. Finally i thank God at least if we can get 4G-LTE in lagos only!

Thanks to spactranet, another internet network. See if our mobile networks cant do anything about their internet work.

Then i suggest they should stop supplying internet services and merge(or work hand in hand) with the internet networks to provide quality internet service.

Webmasters / Gay Activist Hacks Nigerian Government’s Website Over Anti-gay Law by kael: 10:48pm On Jul 04, 2013
Anonymous has hacked the www.nigeria.gov.ng because of the the passage of the anti homosexuality bill. Giving Jonathan an ultimatum to veto the bill.

[img]http://img1.nairaland.com/attachments/1186752_GAY_pngb4e923afc089c085ba127f1ee6a1c0c9[/img]

An Irish hacker, angered by Nigeria’s stance on homosexuality, has attacked Nigeria’s official government website in an attempt to coerce President Goodluck Jonathan to veto a bill seeking to jail homosexuals.

The attack happened on Thursday night and normalcy only returned to the site at about 11.00 p.m. on Thursday. It is not known whether it was the government that regained control or whether the attackers simply suspended the attack.

The anti-gay bill, passed by Nigeria’s National Assembly and generously supported by Nigerians, seeks to jail convicted homosexuals for 14 years.

“Nobody should live in fear of being jailed, when their only action is loving another consenting adult, regardless of gender,” the Irish hacker, Paddyhack said.

A message left on the defaced website gave the president 72 hours to “renounce and veto this Bill…”

“Failure to follow our order will unleash a torrent of fury aimed directly at the direction of your administration, starting with some startling but unsurprising evidence of corruption in your ranks,”the hacker, who also claims to be a member of the global Anonymous group, said.

“No need to start destroying evidence. I already have it,” the hacker declared.

The hacked website, Nigeria.gov.ng, is Nigeria’s official website. It is the equivalent of UK’s gov.uk and U.S’ USA.gov. It is managed by Nigeria’s information ministry.

The Thursday night attack was a continuation of an #opNigeria the attacker launched on July 1. Despite announcing his intention hours before hijacking the website, Nigeria’s Information Ministry’s web administrators appear unable to avert the attack.

“Just over two hours to launch of #OpNigeria,” the attacker announced in his twitter diary.

The spokesperson of the ministry, Joseph Mutuah, could not explain the attacks when pressed for reasons the government is unable to provide appropriate security for its web infrastructure.

He likened it to armed robbers breaking into one’s property. “They are hackers,” he said.

The ICT department of the Information Ministry received N63.5 million from the national treasury this year. Of this amount, N10 million was set aside for the management of the website.

Please, stop being crass stupid and foolish! How is Tinubu a bigger 'thief'? Didnt your dumb Jonathan and his gang try Tinubu at the Code of Conduct Tribunal? What evidence could they find or offer? Or you think it is enough to be calling somebody a thief without proof? Do you expect Tinubu to prosecute himself? If you have any evidence, please send it to your foolish Uncle Jonathan in Abuja so that he can use it to prosecute and jail Tinubu for corrruption.


No matter what Jonathan says, he is evidenttly stark idiot to have granted state pardon to someone who has brought shame to the country.
No wonder we have so many absurds in this govt.... They told us that his illiterate wife is now a Perm Sec in Bayelsa state. I cannot imagine what that means and what kind of PhD Jonathan asquired...and now granting state pardon to a convisted criminal.

You people are even going far leave tinibu first it is alams were talking about,
You can't justify this pardon because others have not been convicted
