Moving on from the topic title, which everyone has adequately insulted you for, can you not think up anything more original that Yahoo?! Do you know nothing about coyright laws!? |

How's about actually putting SOMETHiNG on the site.?, i'm just saying. |

I have to disagree with my2cents about implementing the site in flash. Flash is too heavy, and nowadays, there are many ohter ways to artfully display a picture site without the use of Flash. eg. shutterchance.com But you also need to get more pictures of better quality. And if u can get it looking more professional than nigeriantourism.net as my2cents gave an example, it would be definitely more impressive. |

Agree with smartsoft. Get better quality images. And reduce the width. I use a very large screen and it just turns makes the text look empty. |

I dont suppose you have one with the same specs but an INTEL processor?? |

Gamine: a bit tactless, dont you think? not everyone can help being fat, dont be condescending because you're slim. |

i dotn suppose you have another one with similar stats that us on an intel processor? |

Um, I agree with Seun. I really think the site can do without the flash intro. It's not bad, but it's not necessary, and even on a really fast speed, i dont think it should be there when all manners of people using all kinds of computer speeds will be accessing it. Even on our fast connection, I still hd to wait some minutes too long. Also, I think the home page is too wide. horizontal scrolls can be annoying. And I'm using a resolution o 1024 x 768. Also on the inner pages, the navigation just falls apart. It's too wide as well. Use percentages instead of absolute dimensions. Other than which though, functionality wise, it's a pretty good job. I'm impressed. |

yes ooh hm, its stuff like this that makes all women appear shallow. If a guy is hardworking and responsible, i dont see the problem. I know too many guys with cash that dont think as much of their girlfriends cos they become liabilities. 'gimme this, gimme that'. It's also stuff like this, that makes men think they have to splurge before they'll get a chick. I'm making my own cash, my 2 legs and 2 hands are working fine, why should i still be chasing after a guy with money? Love is more than finance, abeg. If all you can think about in a relationship is how much the guy will spend on you, you need to re-think your values. 1 Like |

Yet another pointless topic started by a very ignorant person on nairaland. when will this madness end, sigh. |

yeah, im having the same problem myself. My mum's trying to use psychology on me that i should wait a while, for WHAT exactly ![]() @poster forget what people say, this society is full of hypocrites. no matter what you do, people will talk, so u might as well do what ur happy doing. the only thing is, for the sake of company you could think of getting a roomie, preferably a close friend to keep things lively. |

totally agree with bebe. The whole rushing to marry thing never fails to surprise me. I know of girls that were sending wedding invitations days before our graduation. IT was ridiculous, cos they're all marrying men who are much older, who've gotten a chance to grow their careers and the like. These girls, no matter how much they fool themselves, will become baby making machines within a yr, and that's it. Sure they'll probably still work or further their education, but let's face it. things get a lot HARDER when there are husbands and kids involved. I blame our society, that seems to look down upon a woman who has left school for more than a yr or 2 and is still single. Let's open our minds. |

how's about a link TO the site? |

Why the generalization ![]() I admit that there is an alarming amount of girls that watch them with obsession. But isn't it the same way for football ![]() This is just the male supremacy thing talking. Yo think there aren't stupid guys ![]() I also really don't see the connection between Nigerian movies and dumb girls. If they don't know basic stuff like that, it just means they're paying very little attention to newspapers, intelligent books etc. And now we're on it, i know a lot of guys that i have to interpret half of what i say in a discussion, so, |
![]() |
um, agreeing with the other two posters, i dunno, why is your picture, EVERYWHERE? In the banner on the web design page, at the corner with the passport photo, I think it's a bit overkill. |

Ur dumpin zenith for 1st bank?!?!? Hm, maybe you should reconsider that, IMHO |
![]() |
sorry, but that's how they do, if you dont pass training, ur going nowhere in that bank. then again, same thing applies for gtb's 3-month training! It's ridiculous, but trust access bank isn't worth it. If you DO pas training, you'll have to sign a bond with them for 2 years!? |

I've always like writing, and sinc i was in SS1, i kept a diary cos I'm actually quite a secretive person, and felt better writing stuff down than talking. In uni, i moved to typing a diary via Word. I started my blog proper last year with the original intention of finance, but found i cared more about sharing a fun weekend or sad story than about who clicked what where! 1 Like |

submit to a man? Undecided Huh some naija girls spend over 4 years in university, they still want a man to shield and protect them- like we are living in the stone-age Huh @ dis guy I feel you. It makes me wonder when I see women who are educated and successful still saying things like that. I have no reason marrying a guy my age, as long you two love each other, the mutual respect is there adn maturity, why should i go looking for a guy that's ten years older ![]() We were talking about this yesterday, no matter how you look at it, too much of an age gap will definitely result in a generation gap. The same things won't excite or interest you, and i see no reason I should be talking to my husband like he's my dad. What's the point? |

@ seun001 as someone that actually works in one of the 6 banks you mentioned, and who has sibling in another, i can honestly and correctly tell u that you are indeed, WRONG. zenith is currently the highest, and its nowhere near 3 million. Etb is even further down. Where do u get ur info from> |

@seun001, my dear all those figures are wrong. except for maybe access. |

Pleeeeeeasee oooooo, i was going to let this be, but I dont appreciate being called a liar. I have nothing to prove by lying about ur site. The last time I looked at ur site before this afternoon was Friday afternoon. Are you going to tell me you havent changed it since then? Are you going to honestly say that your site was mostly black and white EVEN on Friday afternoon? When I reviewed it, the colours were composed of greys and reds and oranges, HENCE my post. And quite frankly I felt no need to look at it again till this afternoon, that's when I noticed you'd done something new to it. You said it yourself that you changed it 18 hrs ago, so what's your damage?!?!? I'm not angry (but apparently you are, by the looks of it, oops), right now I'm just bored with this topic. Are u not tired? Ha. Get your facts straight, and stop this juvenile throwing about of words. Peace. |

@ smartsoft Shiooo. It's ok o. I'm very sorry. I'm apparently the bad guy because I pointed out errors in the original site, and he didn't like it. My only real problem was the rude way he was replying people. I never claimed to be a genius in graphics, I pointed out all that stuff BEFORE he recently changed it, so don't bite my head off. @ afam my apologies. pele. ndo. no vex. its okay. |

@ uche4nna u sure its an ipod, ur talking about? cos, last i checked, ipods dont coe with ccameras OR memory cards,. @poster Meanwhile, the only reason why ud probably see a NORMAL ipod going for 4k, is cos its an obsolete model. apple hasn't made 4gb ipods (not nanos) in years. If ever. if ur looking for something really cheap, chances are what you're going to get isnt the ipod. Apple has unveiled some new ipods. http://www.apple.com/itunes - Ipod Classic - 80gb and 160gb. And they play video. I'm not sure of the 160gb, but you can get 80gb for about 30k. the New ipod nano, both 2gb and 4gb now play video too. My friend bought her 2gb for 15k and you can get the ipod shuffle for about 10k. I assure u, ive seen made in china ones. Go for the original. it'll cost a bit more, but u'll have the functionality and online supprt that made thm so popular in the first plac,e. |

Na wa o, I'm actually helping you here ok? I'm not getting paid and i'm not jobless. Get that in your head and we can move onĀ @ somze i don't understand o. So, visiting Technorati, Netscape, Facebool and Google will bring ideas that will turn the poor design into a good design even when these sites were set up for entirely different purposes using different web strategies? Afam, u realise you've got some attitude problems, right? I've given reviews to other people on this site, and i never got this kind of attitude. I don't care if you agree with all of my points, but your replies are bad. Like i said before, if you don't want the truth, why are you asking for it? You've managed to give lip to everyone that has tried to help you out. It's childish and ungrateful. Yes, your site is 'functional', WE GET IT. But are you the first person? There are 100s out there, and yours will never get far if it can't stand out. I'm very aware those sites I put up aren't entertainment sites, and i said so before. If you could get off your high horse for a moment, you would see that I was pointing you, however, to sites that had millions of users nonetheless, and got far on minimalist designs and high functionality. And that's the issue. I wanted you to take a cue from there. It doesn't have to be an enertainment site. So please get over your pride, or whatever it is that's ailing you and stop attacking me, and everyone else for that matter. |

I've been looking for this particular model -dv9500 for a while now. Particularly the 17'' screen (I would prefer it for specific things) and the specs the poster added. The only one I saw was about 300k. If someone has an idea of how I can get it cheaper, would be very grateful. |

I admit im a bit fascinated by ur reply. I dont claim my blog is perfect , but white text on black background is as stark a contrast as black text on white. Besides, I'm aware there are problems with my design, and you're the one that asked for a review. If you're not going to take advice in good faith, why ask for it? You're doing that jusification thing again. I dont have a problem with functionality. I'm sure your site is swimming with it. My point IS that it LOOKS POORLY designed. There are a lot of design errors you really should take into account. Did you even read the other points I mentioned? Honestly I cant really think of an entertainment site, right now cos I dont visit many, but visit sites like Technorati, Netscape, Facebook, hell, even Google. Flash and colours arent flying across the page, but they look like the layout was well thought through. Tables are aligned, ads are non-distracting, pictures are adequately padded, colours are consistent. And you know what? They are functional. Highly functional. Let's not get carried away with this 'functionality is key' concept. Your site still has to look appealing. |

Hm, where to begin. As can be expected Nairaland. Useful reviews are rare and far-between. I usually dn bother reviewing such sites, but you seem like you want to make a difference so, First, I believe what's killing many nigerian websites is this mentality of multi-tasking and it's-mine-so-ill-do-it-alone. If you know you have weaknesses in design, then why don't you get someone who's focal point IS design, instead of creating something's that sub-par, and justifying yourself? The site, I don't know. If you don't have an eye for aesthetics at all, then you can't understand the way i feel. EVERYTHING's WRONG. If it has all the functionality in the world and it's not easy on the eyes, people will get bored and walk away, not expectin much. Kinda like a bashed up car with fancy features. 1. The colours. What exactly is the colour scheme? I always say this, before u start throwing up a css, it helps tp create a graphic of what you ultimately want the site to look like. Photoshop is my tool of choice. Play around. Try to avoid using so many unrelated colours. Cos thats the only way i can describe using orange and maroon in one place. Try online colour scheme choosers if ur not too good with complimentary colours. 2. The gradient header and footer thingy? No. Just no. Nothing screams unprofessionalism like graphics that look like they were created in MS Paint. 3. The different navigation bars are inconsistent in width. Why aren't they straight and alignned at the edges?!? 4. Fonts too big and too drab. Refrain from using Arial. It's easily one of the dullest fonts EVER. IMHO. Try stuff like Tahoma, Verdana, Georgia, and Trebuchet MS for dynamic text, then try other fonts for headers titles that won't change often (which can be saved as images). http://dafont.com. Just dont go crazy. 5. It's boring. Thought it was an entertainment site? Add more graphics, use rounded edges for corners, put images, SOMETHING. I dont think you've visited enough sites, or you would have seen what im talking about. 6. For goodness sake please do away witht that HUGE orange ad. Ads shouldnt be so distracting from the content. It's annoying. 7. Just start design again. I didn't talk about functionaity cos thats not my area. I strongly suggest getting a graphic person. Peace. http://onydchic..com http://aboutdisgirl.deviantart.com |

Good job! I like the simplicity. However u might want to ad a bit of padding to the top nav, the ''Home" link is too close to the edge of the box. U might also want to centralise it vertically. Oh, and the Interswitch logo, a bit big and blurry. Other than which I can honestly say it's perfect. |
