    I getting fed up and sick and tired of this sponsored by depex thing!!!!! I have a huge problem with it. Ir borders on false advertising. Questions to be answered. The photos taken are sent to DNO by the novice, amateur or professional photographer or does depex submit the photos on behalf of these people. Does electronic photos need to be DEVELOPED. If not what role does depex play in the revelation of these photos on DNO. So in other words the people them send their photos to be PRINTED at depex then they scan them into their computers and then they finally send them to DNO….brilliant. So what role does depex have in all of that.

    ADMIN: How many times do we have to explain that Depex only SPONSORS the page, that’s it. All photos are sent directly to DNO by contributors. DEPEX has nothing to do with selection and publishing. As a matter of fact DEPEX doesn’t even know what photos we receive or what we are going to publish. We depend on sponsors like DEPEX to pay staff and keep DNO afloat. What is your real gripe? If you have a problem with that, then just don’t open Photo of the Day.

      Ebeh DNO all-U have time eh to answer to such trivia, where has this person been? You should just put this comment up as ‘Amature of the Day’. Lol lol

      Dear Admin,
      I understand your point. I also understand the point the amateur photographer.

      I think the issue is a matter of the placement and wording surrounding the Depex Sponsorship. A short sentence saying that “This page is sponsored by Depex Color Lab – ” would do a better job in clarifying that the page, not the photo submission, is sponsored by DEPEX.

      Additionally, you may opt to have the page carry a disclaimer-type paragraph similar to the one you used in your response to amateur photographer stating the true nature of DEPEX’s involvement in the Photo of the Day page.
      Regards,

      Very easy, once u have your cassava buy some bread you good to go. You roast your cassava first then scratch it out, when this is done take half a mastiff bread and blend it together with your roast cassava. add a little spice and kool aid for flavor, when your pot is hot just spread it out in a bakes form and give it up to 3 hrs. thats it very ez CASSAVA BREAD MAKING. try it!

      Boy afos I cannot stand some people. A convection oven my . If you from DA you should know that these foods are best prepared on an open fire. Even when they had the no kitchen required show the “gourmet” meals were prepared on an open fire. I will go with @lifestyle and assume that you are naturally “stupid” or maybe just ignorant. I will forgive you on behalf of everyone who gave you a thumbs down because you may not know better. :roll: :roll:

    Aye DNO, I have a ?. Can you be more vindictive about those food pictures you post on here? I mean come on, we have to go to work and some of us have the kind of job that requires extreme focus and attention to detail. I am looking at this picture and can you imagine the drastic shift and loss of attention that comes with it? People’s lives are at stake?
    Anyway thanks DNO but I’m just saying, have a little heart for diaspora.

    Very truly yours
