Autos / Re: Kenya Made Vehicle Anti Theft System by kpomkwem(m): 11:20pm On Aug 10, 2008
I'm glad to hear such good news coming out of Africa, instead of all the conflicts and diseases that are always reported by big media companies like CNN, BBC and co. The rest of the world has forgotten that Africa has some serious talents and innovative ideas.
TV/Movies / Re: Nigerian Movies Online by kpomkwem(m): 3:54am On Apr 05, 2008
Koksy, one solution would be to either watch the movies during off-peak hours (late at night, early morning) or just watch them at http://my.afrovision.tv/movies.php, where you experience no network wahala and you enjoy high quality movies.
TV/Movies / Re: Nigerian Movies Online by kpomkwem(m): 11:55pm On Mar 31, 2008
My dear, you can also try http://my.afrovision.tv/movies.php. It doesn't have network issues like onlinenigeria, but it doesn't have as many movies.
Enjoy.
TV/Movies / Re: To Watch Nigerian Movies Online by kpomkwem(m): 10:45pm On Mar 31, 2008
Another good site to watch Naija movies is http://my.afrovision.tv/movies.php. They have Naija, Ghana and other movies there, all free of course!
The movies are good quality, and there are no network issues like onlinenigeria. However, there's only a handful of movies there.

Autos / Re: Beautiful 2007 Toyota Camry Le For Sale by kpomkwem(m): 4:56am On Feb 14, 2008
For the record, this is one of the best car posts I've seen on this site. Each picture shows every angle of the car. Most other posts show parts of the car, but not the whole body. On top of that, you listed the features and specs. Good job, Midas02. Other posters should learn from you.
If I was car shopping, I would buy your car AT FULL PRICE (might include some jara sef) just because of the presentation! Nice car, by the way!
Romance / Does A Man Need A Woman? Does A Woman Need A Man? by kpomkwem(m): 3:29am On Feb 11, 2008
Ladies, do you think a man needs a woman? Do you feel a man can do without a woman?
What of vice versa? Does a woman need a man? Is it essential for you to have a man in your life?
Same question for the guys. smiley

Why is it called "End of Discussion" sef? Where is "Beginning of Discussion"?
TV/Movies / Re: What Can Be Done To Improve Nigerian Movies? by kpomkwem(m): 7:42pm On Jan 07, 2008
Improve the sound quality of movies. The background noise shouldn't be as loud as (or even louder than) the actors' voices.

Finished movies should be REVIEWED before selling to the public. A lot of Naija movies have horrible sound quality, it makes me wonder if the directors, producers, editors, etc actually watched their movies before selling. With all the background noise, the actors might as well be using sign language.

When someone drives out of a parking lot or driveway or something, cameraman should stop showing all around the car, following it all the way onto the street. That's a waste of time. I mean, as a viewer, we get the point that the person is driving out.

In a lot of Naija movies, I can see the microphone hanging above. They should conceal it more, or use directional mics.

Enough of movies where the only way to become a millionaire is to be in a cult! How about a movie where someone became a millionaire by investing in real estate, or owning a successful business, or winning the lottery!

When people are eating, cameraman should not zoom into the food (at least for a long time), unless there is a reason for doing so.

In dance club scenes, there's no need to show every single person in the club!

As mentioned above, there's no need to split a movie into several multiple parts. Might as well turn it into a mini-series.

In Naija movies, why do parents call their children "my son" or "my daughter"? I don't know any mother that calls her daughter and says "my daughter, go and get me something, ". Don't they normally call them by name, instead of "my son" or "my daughter"?

TV/Movies / Re: What Kind Of Movie Do You Want Nigerians To Make? by kpomkwem(m): 7:14pm On Jan 03, 2008
I want to see more comedies. There's way too many drama and romance movies (99% with the same story line), but not enough comedies.
I would also like to see science fiction and suspense/thriller movies.
I wonder what a Naija sci-fi movie would look like - flying okada motorcycles, 419 in space, interesting!
Autos / Re: Lets Compare Automatic And Manual Cars by kpomkwem(m): 3:20pm On Dec 31, 2007
You get better precision (hence better fuel economy and greater acceleration) with manual transmission.
The main advantage of automatic transmission is the convenience and ease of use.
Learners are highly recommended to learn driving cars with manual transmission, because if you can drive manual, you can easily drive automatic, but not the other way round.

Family / Attracted To Your Relative? by kpomkwem(m): 7:14pm On Dec 24, 2007
I know it sounds disgusting and immoral, but have you ever been attractive to your sibling? Your cousin? Some other relative?
I was flipping channels and came across an episode of Jerry Springer where this guy fell in love with his sister (and wanted to marry her sef!).
So has anyone ever felt romantically attracted to a relative?

Phones / Free International Calls by kpomkwem(m): 6:49pm On Dec 20, 2007
Have you heard about Talkster (www.talkster.com)? It's a site where you can make free calls to any phone worldwide.
However, Nigeria is not one of the supported countries. The site has a section for suggesting which country to include, so let us pressure them to include Nigeria. Here is the Country Request form http://www.talkster.com/RequestCountry.aspx
Abeg tell all your friends about it and have them submit the form so that they can include Naija and we can all enjoy free worldwide calls!
Autos / Re: Help Me With This Vin Check by kpomkwem(m): 7:42pm On Dec 12, 2007
You can do a VIN check by typing the VIN number in google and searching. The first (and only, in most cases) result will take you to the CARFAX report on the car. Although as mentioned, you'll have to pay to get a detailed history.

HOpe this helps.

And to think that US president Bush is visiting Nigeria next month (January 2008). YarAdua should take him on a tour of Lagos (and other dilapidated cities).
Hey folks, at this rate, what do you think Nigeria will be like in 10 years time? 20 years time? 50 years time?

Car Talk / Re: Car Maintenance Tips by kpomkwem(m): 9:01pm On Nov 07, 2007
[list]
[li]Change the oil every 5000 km or so.[/li]
[li]Flush the transmission fluid every couple of years or so.[/li]
[li]Most modern (late 90s and beyond) cars don't need to have their battery fluid checked and stuff, so don't bother.[/li]
[li]Wash the car & vacuum the interior at least once a week[/li]
[li]Check the type pressures about every 2 weeks, depending on your driving habits.[/li]
[/list]

Do those frequently, and your car will still look and drive like new many years from now!

Anyone can feel free to add to those tips!

Nairaland / General / Re: Software Engneering And Networking Engrneering Which Is Better? by kpomkwem(m): 8:30pm On Oct 23, 2007
I think you should go for networking. Software changes all the time (so do their requirements), so you might be real good at developing a particular software today, but tomorrow your skills go become extinct. I mastered Visual Basic 6 years ago, but no one uses them these days, since everyone's going .NET crazy.
Networking involves communication amongst computers (and other devices). That concept never changes - the way they communicate may change, but the concept remains the same. It's easier to master and catch up to changes in network technology than to catch up to constantly changing software development standards.

But if you still want to do software engineering, then you should check out web application development (building software that runs on the web), since they are more popular because of being platform independent (runs on any web browser on any operating system).

This is my own opinion o, just to clarify. Just something to think about in deciding which way to go.

Hope this helps.

PHCN acquiring MTN? Just what we need - more disconnecting calls.
Talk about bringing the routine power failure of NEPA to the mobile phone network. It'll take 50 attempts to establish a call, which PHCN would cut short after saying "hello, how ar, ".
