You said he doesn't have a job, where did he get the money she spent on his birthday? The money you were expecting for your birthday, where was he supposed to get it from?

Madam if you want to leave, leave and stop whining about it. Nobody go blame you for making a decision this important. It's your life.

But I just tell you that the reason you're breaking up has more to do with your love for money than it has to do with his attitude towards life.

Focus.

Crime / Re: It Doesn’t Take Me Time To Kill – Aiye Butcher by crayon001(m): 11:05pm On Mar 28, 2020
"So you people should better kill me or I'll kill more persons."

That's how you know someone who's truly tired of this world. He has lost all hope of redemption. That's a mad person on the loose.

There are many others like this out there - not necessarily killers - who are tired of life and living. They wish they could take their own lives but they dread the thought.

The guy needs help.

Literature / I Need Tips On Self-publishing And Sales Strategy. (Answered) by crayon001(m): 1:54am On Mar 18, 2020
Hello Nairalanders,

It is said that 'no man is an island', and this has proven to be an eternal truth. In acknowledgement of the above, I am seeking your invaluable opinions on how to sell a book I've been working on.

I'm a budding author with zero experience in book publishing. I have written too many stories in the past and never bothered about printing or selling any until very recently. All of my works are either lost or LOST in my many trips and short stays around the country in search of gainful employment. The trips didn't pay much but on one of those, I have been gifted a great story for young adults and I'm looking to print and sell this particular piece.

I need tips on how to go about it. I'm aware soft-copies can be sold online on sites like 'Okada books' and 'Amazon Kindle'. I'm afraid this book may be more relevant to Nigerians and Africans who I believe do not subscribe so well to online reading. I'll, however, publish online. The advice I seek is on how to sell hard-copies.

My target audience: kids between the ages of 13-16.

Genre: Prose (Fiction)

Word length: 15,000 - 20,000

For a start, I'm looking to print 1000 copies only. Any ideas on costing and pricing?

I'm hopeful to gain from your experience. I'll appreciate your suggestions on proofreading, editing, formatting and layout, printing, and sales strategy.

Thank you for your kind suggestions.

BookEditor:


It doesn't matter if you're writing for Nigerians or for the rest of the world. It doesn't stop you from making money from your book. Nigeria is a great country with a very large population and a large market for books. Nigeria is the most populated country in the whole of Africa.

Even on Amazon there are millions of Nigerians there on a daily basis searching for and buying Nigerian books and books written for Nigerians. So there's no limit whatsoever from the money you can make from your book.

To professionally edit and publish your book, contact us if you need the services of professionals to handle your book project.

Kind regards.

Not many Nigerians, living in Nigeria, go on Amazon to buy books. Especially the younger generation whom the book was written for. Any suggestions?

How can you claim to know what the server data for the card reader says when you have been complaining that INEC is yet to give you access to anything.
E be like say these people no know say election don finish. They are still producing propaganda upanda

If say you dey read posts before you comment, you for come across the place where PDP in previous threads, say INEC no give them access to ballot papers for forensic analysis. But you no go read. Therefore, you no go learn. Shior.

In my opinion, Nigeria needs visionary leaders like Bishop David Oyedepo, to run the affairs of our country. If the cleric would, it would be a great service to his Nation, and to the faith. A lack of purposeful leadership is the reason Nigeria is where it is today.

Huawei Y7 Prime 2019 is a much better phone than the Infinix Hot 7.

6.26" dew-drop Display
3GB RAM, 32GB storage, and supports Memory expansion of up to 512GB
4000MAH battery capacity
Snapdragon 450 chipset clocked at 1.8ghz
16MP Selfie Camera, AI 13MP+2MP Rear Camera

I could go on and on. The Huawei Y7Prime 2019 is the super low budget smartphone going for just #59,700.

Education / Sneak Peek Into My Soon-to-be Published Book: COLLEGE 101 by crayon001(m): 9:14pm On Jan 13, 2019
What does College mean to you?

College, in many aspects, feels like a getaway from the routine life of waking up and running errands, for young school leavers. As strange as it sounds, that is the position of many teenagers applying for varsity education. How wrong? While many won’t admit it, the opinion is strengthened by the resolve to accept just about any course, so as to be able to gain 'freedom'. So what does college mean to you? Is it a getaway, a career builder, or a lustful path to self-actualization?

In reacting to the question, take a moment to probe your mind in search for answers. I could care less about what your response would be. In fact, the only person who needs to know is you – only you. While seeking answers, ask yourself if the time, effort and financial implications would be worth it bringing to bare factors like your course of study, choice of institution, and most importantly your interest in learning. College education is not for nitwits. In every sense, college education should be deliberate. Your decision to get a degree should be driven by belief in the system, trusting it to make you better and on course to career fulfilment. The inability to come up with solid answers to strengthen your resolve will become your greatest weakness when the many challenges of college come dashing at you.

The reason you opt for college education as against apprenticeship, or any other endeavor, is a major factor in determining if the number of years required to earn a degree, the huge financial implication on your sponsor, and the overall effect on your life in the long run would be worth it. While I hope your purpose for choosing college is to acquire requisite skills that will help you succeed in your chosen career path, I am well aware that not everyone has the same goals.

In my research, while putting this book together, I came across a disturbing trend. With over 100 people within the ages of 17-21, responding to the questionnaire, I realized that over 70% do not fully understand what college really is. To them, it is just a pattern in life, just like they did with primary education and high school, they believe it’s just a route they must pass to fit into society.

College education is power. It is what truly prepares you for the outside world. Before you start mumbling about people around you who succeeded without college education, take a moment to think of the many you come across on a day-to-day basis who failed, and with a near zero chance of redemption, because they lack college education. While it may be true that college education doesn’t guarantee a great job but it is very unlikely to land a great job without a degree, or its equivalent. A well-rounded graduate is many times open to opportunities than the man without it. Even the few who succeeded without a degree go about to recruit degree holders because they know the importance of getting college education.

I don’t want you to get the wrong ideas. I am not saying you can’t make anything out of life without a college degree. In fact, it is possible to build an empire without a degree. Like the case with Bill Gates of Microsoft, Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook and our very own Nigerian Forum owner, Seun Osewa of Nairaland etc. There are many things to do in the world that requires very little or no links to varsity education. But without one, it becomes relatively easy to go with the wind. There are only two options open to the man without college education: passion or confusion (as the case may be). But you can’t leave everything to chance. Some made it without a degree, but a whole lot more wish they had the chance to be where you are right now (in college).

Business / Re: Learn How I make Money Online as a Freelancer by crayon001(m): 3:28am On Jan 03, 2019
stagger:


My brother, you hit the nail on the head. I have made multiplied millions in freelancing since 2009. I have never bothered to do any trainings because Nigerians do not value knowledge. There are things that the Holy Spirit has shown me about making money which I cannot even share because such knowledge is not valued in this clime.

You will ask someone to pay N20k for training on skills that will produce a LIFETIME of earnings. No, it is not ok. They want it all for free. Recently, God showed me a way to make money from cryptocurrencies that has returned 120% for me in 3 weeks. If I ask people to pay for that knowledge, they will complain that you want to scam them.

So forget these naysayers. Their opinions cannot stop our flow.

''God showed me a way..."

You try for this one.

One more 'skill' you should learn to earn for life is P H I L A N T H R O P Y.
