@ mark, LOL.

I like young die-hard internet geeks, unfortunately I'm yet to meet most in Nigeria. Please use this medium to correct me if i am wrong.

You don't have to be too techie!  just know how to do one thing and do it real good, ie:

Blogger : Blog real good with nice content

Web Evangelists : Know how to put the word out there on the internet and get people waltzing into your site/referrers or having ur links clicked multiple times

Content Writer: Write for the web and doing it awesomely

Reviewer: Be able to vet anything for error etc

Designer : Have you seen what talented people around the web are doing? does your designs meet up to that?

Programmers: php, java. cold fusion, ruby on rails, html, css, CMS etc. Do u right kick ass codes? Do u love open Source? Do u believe in sharing and helping fellow web users?, do you believe in doing stuff for free, can u sweat at nite developing something AWSOME! only to GIVE it out as FREE(100%) when you are done, with no strings attached?

Does your life revolve around the WEB?

Do you feel like you are missing something if you don't have your computer for a whole day?

Do you feel like you are been left behind if you don't login to your email account, google, fb, or check news/tech site to see the latest?

Do u ever FEAR that there might be no LIFE for u if INTERNET or COMPUTER goes away?

Do u BELIEVE that the BEST things in life are FREE! 

Do u feel EMPTY without your computer?

Do you always miss your COMPUTER more than you miss your GIRLFRIEND

Do you value your COMPUTER more than you do SEX. Would you choose your COMPUTER over SEX?

Would you rather have a link to a SECRETE site with great resources and or a TECH stuff for a birthday present rather than snickers or pickups from random stores.

and most of all, DO U HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOUR!?
,

Drop a note if you fall in any of this category! Tell us about you and what your currently doing to contribute to the web and its resources. Tell us ur skills and your strong point.
Thanks.

*Note: this is not a drill! just wanting to differentiate the real web geeks from the regular/normal computer users (microsoft word/excel user, facebook and twitter users), lol*
*Als note: i did not vet this write up for errors, i just typed and clicked on the "reply (click once, then wait)" botton. So pardon me if you find typos and mispelt words. Thanks*

You might wanna join this group on facebook so you'd be better identified.  http://www./260013220694828/

Ok, soo, let the comments start rolling in. Thanks.

Kind Regards,
Jamal Robert Siakpere.

Asides from Web developments and stuff i have other Ideas that i want to put out, really good ideas,and it will only take someone who sees beyond the ordinary to believe that my idea (or any ones ideas asides from theirs actually makes sense and stands out).

@ java love, What is your name on facebook and whats your email adress. Please leave me a message here dextatek@gmail.com. Thanks.

@ every 1, please take it easy on this guy, he is just expressing himself ok.

Hi doncigalo
, can i meet with you, i have aproposition for you. Please send me email: dextatek@gmail.com

@ yawatide, ok, i hear you. Thanks anyways.

@ dhtml, ok.

@ everybody, thanks for your views and opinin about this. Be well. Ciao.

@ Ominipotence, TRUE TALK!!!

@ yawatide, even though i had a personal experience about this, thats not exactly my reason for this thread. What am trying to point out is that COLLABORATION BRINGS ABOUT GOOD AND QUALITY RESULT(work).
Ever watched the video posted by GOOGLE on youTube? "myth of the genius programmer"(search for it on you tube), it talks about this same thing. The best websites, softwares today was not written by 1 programmer, its as a result of at least two heads collaborating, (handling different modules). Am just saying that if we collaborate/affiliate more, we will bring about great results. Trust me, i have seen some sites done by some Nigerians and its really not too appealing, not that they are not good or they cant do it, but its as a result of "i wanna do it all alone", GET MY GIST?

And about your blanket statement issue, i will put it to you this way(please dont take this as insult, cos its not):- SAY YOU ARE A PUBLIC FIGURE, and something happened, and rumour starts spreading around saying "yawatide is a thief",and it soo strong that everybody have that impression about you,TRUST ME, YOU DONT WANT TO SIT AROUND AND DO NOTHING ABOUT IT!, THE LEAST YOU WANNA DO IS COME OUT AND SAY YOU ARE NOT, thats not gonna hurt, is it So match it with this post and your last comment, and see if it makes sense to you.

please pardon my typos.

Typo correction,
,

Line 1: 90 out of 100%

Line 2: wouldn't

line 3:- (they probably don't want you to know their contacts, amongst other reasons)

@ yawatide, i wouldn't know if its true of every Nigerian developer cos i haven met or seen em all, but 90 out of 30% i have met seems to be working alone(freelance) and would seem interested when you talk to them about collaboration,(they are probably dont want you to know their contacts and amongst a whole lot of other reasons). and YES! i am basing this fact on personal experiences.
About the price(25k), these days, i dont really think web developers charge that low anymore (except for upcoming developers). These days the more experienced guys charge like "from 70-80k upwards", some even set a standard for themselves(their standard price that they would never fall below).

In general, i think what matters most in partnership is agreement, trust and understanding. Trust me, if you give quality job, you will never end up with 25k on any project, except you dont know the worth of your skills.

@ omnipotence, YES! but not totally true. Like i said earlier, agreeing to terms and condition/finding the right partner is wat matters.

@WebMonk, you are right some how.

@dhtml, say what!

I have come to notice that WE Nigerian programmers/web developers(web solution providers in general) are GREEDY often times stingy when it comes to sharing. We tend to want to do everything by ourselves. Here is an example of what i mean:-

A certain firm/individual, approaches a web developer/programmer about a project in mind. After all formalities have been put in place, then the programmer commence work on the project,
Now, say the company wants an e commerce site/an online store and project budget is about N500,000(just exaggerating). Of course the web developer/programmer has a couple of friends who are good with tools like adobe photoshop, fireworks, illustrator etc, another friend good in determining Mock-up for a web site, and another friend who knows a couple of CMS(wordpress, drupal, joomla). Instead of the web-developer/programmer(the original guy who was approached by the firm) to form alliance with his friends who have these skills, split the task amongst each other and deliver a good clean and high standard web app with appealing GUI,
they rather keep all the money to themselves, apply the little they know in design,cms and Mock-up AND Guess what the end result would turn out to be ,
A CRAPPY DESIGN!!!

What i am saying in essence is, money is not everything, think about the quality of service and time of delivery.know a little of everything, and specialize in 1 thing, but when professional service calls, LET THE SPECIALIST DO THEIR JOB.

There is a saying that "PEOPLE DON'T CARE IF YOU CAN BUILD A MANSION FOR A WEBSITE, BUT CAN YOU DELIVER IN TIME"

Have a great day guys.

@ abidemi, I will contact you soon, i have a proposal for you. @ dhtm, @ donpuzzo thanks guys.

@ machere44, i just sent you an email. Thanks.

So now there is a project on ground that has to do with "scraping" using webclient in vb.net. its amin aim is to pull data from websites into, format it and send it to a client using C#. So if anybody is up to this, you will end up having a long time relationship with an international client from France(my client).
