Business / Re: Looking For Domain Names To Buy by Tuyis: 5:37am On Jul 01, 2010
nijaprince:

Hello everyone, i am a domain name investor looking for names to buy. But of course i dont buy just any name. The criterias for purchase include:
-Must be a .com e.g university.com
-a 2 or 3 letter word e.g ar.com, car.com
-a one word name e.g books.com
-a descriptive name i.e. a name that describes something e.g traditionalwear.com
-a country/state/city name e.g nigeria.com, lagosstate.com, lagos.com
etc.
It is no problem if the name already has a built site with traffic.
Please if you are interested, simply send me a mail with your names to princechidy2000@yahoo.co.uk
Thank you.


I laugh in C++ and HTML. Where have you been!!!. One, such top level domain names are not available anymore. Second, if you want to buy such names, you must have more than a couple of million dollars.

The ''FIRST STOREY BUILDING IN NIGERIA'' looks so dilapidated. Isn't anybody looking after it? It may soon become the "ruins of the first story building in Nigeria"
Looks like everything is disposable in Nigeria.

@Tuyis, Yeah her family is exploiting her and you are protecting her!! Rubbish!


So, you don't think it is exploitation when you stole thousands of dollars from your own people ( who are already poor ) to buy another poor Egyptian girl?
If you are giving thousands of dollars to a family who is probably dirt poor in order to marry their underage daughter, it is not exploitation in your book?
Both the child and her family are victims of our paedophile senator, in my opinion!!

Now you're starting to be honest, it boils down to your bigoted hate of islam!! People like me say western this and arab that because in case you didnt notice, Westerners colonized half of the country while arabs the other half, both contributing and shaping or re shaping intellectual discourse, when you accepted Christianity and abandoned your traditional belief system, you became an extension of the west, you let them colonize you too, your legal code is the same as theirs so are many different aspects of your life!! you have nothing that is truly originally yours other than food!! your mind however and your society is either western styled or arab to the norh.



This is not about conflict between Western and Arab civilizations, this is about universal human instinct to protect the young and the weak and not exploit them. Please tell us if this is alien to Islam, when even animals protect their young.

No, he wasn't kidding, Yerima got someone's hand chopped off for stealing a goat! Now we need to know the punishment for robbing a cradle.

How are 13 year olds not able to bare children when theyre doing so all over America!!! Furthermore, emotional maturity is something that is relative to an individual, there are 30 year olds who are emotionally immature and by your standards, theyre not ready for marriage, there are 13 year olds who will shock you at their level of emotional stability and maturity!! so your point fails to resonate!!

To call Yerima a dirty old man is uncalled for, do you personally know him? do you know his moral conduct? Can you blame him if he doesnt want to marry a 40 year old woman?? Who are you to dictate to him who and who not to marry and what their ages should be? If its his preference, then whats your own?

13 year olds are getting pregnant in America right? Why don't you get one pregnant and see what happens to you and please don't  forget to tell them your culture allows it.
Yerima is a dirty old man, you cannot legally marry a thirteen year old in Nigeria, period. It is not only against the law, it is also morally reprehensible.

Also, i wanted to add that if a girl in America or in Europe can physically have intimacy at the age of 13, 14 or 15 then why not an egyptian? since i think whats bothering most people is the girl is too  young and cannot handle the sexual activity. As for those claiming, shes too young for him, look into you're own cultures before you were brain washed my colonialism, were your people, yorubas et al. marrying their age mates? what was the typical age of a man and a woman when they got married in say yoruba societies in the 1500's? For you to now bring in age difference into this is idiocy at it worst!! Age difference is a concept born out of western culture which came about during times of economic prosperity!! It is a WESTERN concept!! Ask yourself, why does it really matter? why does it matter how old the guy is? in America, Anna Nicole Smith married Howard when she was 26 and he was in his 80's. Does age difference really matter in a truly moral context, is it immoral if im 20 years older than my wife if so, why is it immoral, this you must answer!!
If you're one of those saying that its coz shes too young to make her own decision as to whether she wants to get married yet or not, well that is also a western concept, western culture places premium on individualism, you should NOT use the standards of one culture to judge another culture! cultures evolve at their own pace and in their own beliefs!! some societies are communal, the family decides whether your old enough and who you should marry!! Since you dont love that girl more than her family loves her then what is your own there??
This is how they've lived for thousands of years and you cannot criticize them, you have no right to!! Who are you to now say that it is wrong?? because your colonial masters say so!


The simple fact is; thirteen year olds are not physically or emotionally ready for marriages or childbearing, they are babies themselves. They are not supposed to be mauled by dirty old men like Yerima.
Are there shortages of grown women for marriage? Why the morbid obsession with kids.
Do you need a Westerner or Easterner or whatever to tell you what you know in your heart is patently wrong?

Ok you seem like a relatively intelligent person who can think outside the box! Lets go to the root of marriage, ask the question; why did marriage as a concept evolve in human societies! we know marriage was practiced before Abrahamic religions came to be, the sister religions namely: Judaism, Christianity and Islam!! all of who believe in the same God, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Moses.
Marriage evolved for economic reasons, communities wanted to know who would posses a persons belongings after he died and the most natural answer was the mans children, by implication, the second question of how we can identify his kids came up, there had to be accountability, so the idea of a permanent woman as a wife who will give you children came up! There could've been different ideas but this "marriage" idea came first. Love, age difference, compatibility were concepts that were developed much later on. Marriage is primarily an economic tool for wealth distribution and inheritance!
In the north or the arab world, marrying for economic and tribal/kinship reasons is rife largely because the cultures allow it. [b]The absence of romantic ideas like love face limited existence which is why the arab wold has some of the lowest divorce rates in the world!! as opposed to 50% divorce rate in america, one in two marriages in America will end in divorce.[/b]This leads me to my main point. In the context of Yerima, marrying a young girl is in line with his culture, if you think he's wrong then you're attacking his culture! People in that culture give their daughters in marriage so that somebody else can pick up the tab in raising them and other expenses associated with a feeding and clothing a person. Again, back to economics. Early marriages occur more in poor societies than in affluent ones!! easy to see why!! Again the only question that Yerima need ask is, is she mature enough for sexual activity, if no then as tradition has it, he wont touch her (the marriage will not be consummated) until she is ready! In medieval Europe, Kings would marry off their sons and daughters at age 4 or 5 largely to the sons and daughters of other monarchs for political alliances but the marriage would not be consummated until the kids were well into their teens, which is way most European monarchs are related! I think if you're educate enough, you'll be able to understand where I'm coming from


Yet a bigger load of crap! Please tell us what type of wealth were being distributed to all the women in the muslim world suffering from vesicovaginal fistula.

Regarding your divorce statistic in America, the fact that muslim women are forced by societal norms to stay in loveless marriages can only be seen as a sign of progress by people who see women as objects anyway.

PS. Lets explore the level of teen pregnancy in western societies and compare it to that of predominantly muslim societies. I don't know what exactly it is with your anti-islamic, European loving arses!
Is the issue that the girl is too young?? or the senator is too old for her? Coz in America, girls start having sex at 13 same as in England. Some become mothers at the age of 15. For me, it'd be better to have that teen securely in a marriage than boinking some guy and getting pregnant out of wed lock. Teen sex is not an Islamic thing, Islam is saying than to allow sexually curious teens to fornicate, better they get married!!!
The west embraces individualism which focuses on whether an individual is mature enough to make their own decisions especially in regards to marriage. Islamic societies embrace family oriented communalism "for lack of a better term" both cultures and approaches have their pros and cons! You cant force us to adopt a western life style!! get it?


What a load of crap! What about millions of young girls who are forced into early marriages even though they have no intention of getting married or even having sex with anyone.
Do all sexually curious teens engage in sexual activities? Is teen pregnancy in the U.S and U.K now a justification for a vacous ideology that reduces human beings to mere objects?

The Ghanians are imposing their will on this game, they are dominating the field. They chase down every lose ball and they are doing a great job in taking the ball away from their opponents.
Now compare and contrast with the Super Eagles, you will start to see why our keeper looks like the only player on the field.
We have a very stupid strategy or our players are just lazy.

The Ghanians won their match period, wether you love them or hate them is inconsequential. If Nigerians want to play like they have their boots glued to the field, that is their prerogative.
What we all saw yesterday was not the type of performance Nigeria is known for, unless we want to lie to ourselves, and that is the worst type of lie.
