hi, sorry for bothering you, but do you have QuickSell ads?

I have noticed that the fashion (shoes, bags etc) world is fiercely competitive. These days almost everyone has one boutique or the other somewhere, and beginners have a hard time getting solid customers that transform into sales.

I came across this website www.QuickSell.com.ng. I saw that they have a unique platform for allowing business people (including fashion houses) to host their products. And it is completely free. I am going to advice you based on my experience with using QuickSell.

If you want to benefit from using QuickSell, you must have a discount. What does this mean? If you are selling a bag for 10,000 or a shoe for 15,000, for example, you can put them on QuickSell for, let's say 7,000 for the bag and 9,000 for the shoes. If your discounts are genuine and people know that that is the best reasonable price they can get the products for, they will contact you and buy your products! The amazing part is that they will even buy other non-discounted products from your shop! I have had lots of people contact my store (although I am not into the fashion line though) to buy my products, telling me they saw my product listed on QuickSell.

Also, if you want to be the best on QuickSell, you should endeavor to put up discounts at least everyday. A lot of people have their products on QuickSell. I have seen Jumia, Konga, World Mart Africa, Scuup and some notable fashion names put up their products there from time to time. If you do not put up new products, your own products will go down to the bottom of the table. So refresh; put up new stuff everyday!

If you have any questions, contact me. I am always available for questioning. Have a great business experience this new year!

At the risk of beginning to sound a tad pervy in my blog posts, I would like to once again speak to the lady folks. We have been receiving a lot of mails on the Dr. Justin Mailbox (that really exists) on this issue, and we can no longer evade the subject.

Sigh. Tough job, but someone’s got to do it.

Women, have you ever felt self-conscious when exposing your bodies to your men? We have discovered that 57.2324% (actual statistical figures because I am so accurate) of women who say “no sex until marriage” only say this because they fear that they look like Snoop Dogg’s Baggy trousers in the nude. How…sad, hey? This is a real fear. A lot of ladies will read this blog post with much conviction (please, comment – you can comment anonymously, you know) seeking for a solution to their state.

You know Rick Ross, right? That niggah can look all kinds of classy – right until he takes off his shirt. When he does, you’d want to run for the fire escape, the balcony, the chimney, the gas chamber – anywhere just to be far from that nigger. Alas, he tends to take off his clothes quite often.

So, Ladies, rejoice. If you have ever closed your eyes when passing a mirror in the nude (let’s not mention that one embarrassing time when the mirror shattered), if you have never gone skinny-dipping or bikini-flaunting (how can you, when you ain’t skinny by a long mile?) or if you have ever cried to the lord for a better body, Dr. Justin is here to make the pain all go away.

Yes, if you find yourself hating on slim models for no reason, you may just not be proud of your body. I have spent some time in the laboratory (no, really), and I have just what you need. Grab a bag of chips (on second thought, maybe you should take diet coke instead) and let’s get cracking.

1. Break into a Sweat: What? You didn’t expect me to start with this point? C’mon. Let’s be realistic. They haven’t made the machine that you can just walk into, and come out all shapely in a matter of minutes (hmmm. Business idea). If you want the body you have always dreamed of, sister, you have to work out. Go do some exercise, please. And lay off the chocolates.

2. Let Water be your New Vodka: I’m not implying you drink or anything, but could you improve your water intake level? Scientifically, you rehydrate your skin by drinking lots of water, and it helps get rid of those zebra thingies (medically called stretch marks) and gives you a lickable skin. Try it. You’ll thank me later. And maybe reward me with a few licks infact.

A little test to see if you are drinking enough water: is your urine yellow? Shit, if yes, drink up! Be thirsty!

3. Thou shalt moisturize thineself: If you have reptilian skin (you know the kind: scaly and easily peeling off), no dude likes that. If he tells you he does, he’s lying. Exfoliate from time to time. If you don’t know what exfoliate means, Jesus, why are you still reading this?

4. Mrs GoodLuck Jonathan, Dame Patience: Yes, Patience is the key. Don’t apply these tips and expect to be Agbani in the morning. That will be just cruel, and may cause suicidal tendencies in you (although if you do plan to commit suicide, call me. The police pays me well for autopsies)

5. Love thine body as you envy Rihanna’s: This is a new commandment. Of course, it’s pretty difficult to do, since you can literally fan six people with your stomach, but try. If you can love your body, your goodwill towards yourself will make people love it too. And also give you the strength to continue perfecting yourself. It’s something I read about psychology before dropping out.

6. Swag Up the Booty: Being naked is not just about dropping cloth fiaaa. You’ve gotta swag it up for your man. Apply a little make-up (no use am paint bedsheet sha) and other things to make your naked body be like that of a goddess.

7. Oooooh, the aroma: The scent of a naked woman combines with her form to create a figure of sexiness (take my word for it, I’m a guy). Sprinkle small perfume around your ears, and around er, ah, **cough** those other parts of your body that ‘pulsate’.

8. Back to school: Learn a couple of sexy moves, baby. Learn to catwalk or do a lap dance. I swear, you could get a guy all riled up, he won’t even be seeing the body that clearly (See our Blue Balls article: [url]/p2yHbR-2e[/url] )

9. Costuming is What Makes Superman look Gay and Batman look Bad-ass It’s all in the gift-wrapping, chickito. Get the right kind of negliges and lingeries, and all what-nots that throw off your body in the right light. The allure would be off the hook, I swear (are doctors allowed to do that? Swear, I mean? I guess we are. We did take an oath of whatsit that one time)

That’s it. Basically. I hope I have been able to confuse convince you that you too can be sexy in the nude.

PS: As a reward for my selfless service, you can send me before and after photos when it works (I’m too kind)

It's a new year, and businesses are already gearing to dominate in their various niches. The Nigerian online business niche has matured in the past few years, with Internet shopping becoming more prominent in 2012. If you are a business person in 2012, you are lucky! There are more resources for promoting your business more than ever.

Given the recent business trends in Nigeria and relevant countries, we have forecasted the business environment and have come with a couple of events that would take place this year. Businesses that want to stay afloat and remain on top of their business niches should take care to make the necessary adjustments:

1. More Businesses Will Emerge
It seems like everyone want sot be the next Mark Zuckerberg in 2013. More and more online businesses are emerging that attempt to bring new ideas to the internet. Some big players will have little pieces of their market shares divided by these new startups, and the competition will get pretty keen this year. I was reading recent Tech Crunch news and discovered that someone is already working hard and fast on the idea for bringing Farmville (you know farmville on facebook) into reality as a social network. It is called Grow the Planet, and there are predictions that it will be a personal favorite of investors this year. Someone has already created a social media network for cats alone (I forget the link now), where household pets can go and update their status and stuff like that. What am I saying? Everyone is trying to make an impression these days. New ideas will emerge from these and will define market trend for the next ten years. By the way, the Grow the Planet site is out on beta via www.growtheplanet.com

2. Entrepreneurs are getting younger by the minute
Gone are the days when a 25 year old entrepreneur is 'successful and daring”. Entrepreneurs are literally starting from the womb these days! Nowadays, fifteen year old are being groomed by parents and put in training schools to make the next best business idea. Have you invested in yourself or in your business recently? It would be pretty embarrassing for a secondary school student to be the reason you went out of business.

3. Online/Internet Shopping is Growing
Of course, I don't need to emphasize this too much. You can literally see it everywhere. Even when you log on to Facebook, you will find ads by [url]Jumia.com[/url], [url]Konga.com[/url], [email]Mocality[/email], [url]QuickSell.com.ng[/url] and [url]DealDey[/url]. You cannot ignore this: internet business is marching on. As Nigeria is about to go cashless, it is time for you to consider how this will affect your business and join the bandwagon. Consider selling using internet shopping.

4. Your Customers are Now Getting Virtual
What does this mean? Facebook boasts of about a billion users, and it is the number 2 site in Nigeria (right after Google). Nairaland is the number one Nigerian site in Nigeria, and thousands of visitors throng in and out of it everyday. If you want your business to get visible, you have to target your customers from where they gather. Disabuse your mind of the notion that your business is not online. Even if you sell goods physically (like having a shoe boutique in Surulere), believe me, and advertising campaign can literally EXPLODE your sales. Change tactics this year, and see best results!

5. Be Ready to Pander to Consumer Interests
I noticed that it is a Nigerian business custom to sacrifice discounts for quality. What I mean is, we'd rather say “my market dey sell quality”, that say “we sell the cheapest anywhere in Nigeria”. Believe me, people are 'wisening' up. You need to know that the average Nigerian these days would check online for price comparisons before he decides to buy a new clothing item, an iPhone or a Blackberry. Of course, if you sell all your products at lower rates, you will lose, right? Wrong! You just need to 'sacrifice' a few juicy products, put great discount prices on them, then advertise them on discount sites like [url]quicksell.com.ng[/url], and watch people throng into your site. It always works: people who buy the disounted products would have become familiar with your business and would be willing to buy more from you in the future.

Be sharp this new year; don't lose your business' ground because you do not want to change with the times. Embrace change, and adopt the right business strategies!

Impressive work there BrainRex...you've gotta teach me that sometime!

Kiss my pink, hairy butt Ezy~p

Seriously I'm interested mehn.....I wanted to go to south africa with my friends for the christmas and new year, but the price we got ehn, Jesu!

It's not like that in d US. I guess it's the fact that naija airlines are not yet getting a run for their money sha.

Abeg, nairalanders, una get anything to say?

Geovanni, well, here's what I have to say:

First, try to shave the hairs around your privates. It helps! You get cool hair, it makes your wigglestick appear bigger and also improves the odor around that area (I'm sure your woman will like that)

Secondly, if you wear brief, switch to boxers. In d evenings, wear loose three-quarters or just knickers more often than trousers, and you'll be just fine!

All these happened to me for real today, and I got wondering: is this the norm in all Christ Embassy branches?All these happened to me for real today, and I got wondering: is this the norm in all Christ Embassy branches?All these happened to me for real today, and I got wondering: is this the norm in all Christ Embassy branches?[url]iraborjustin./2012/12/23/is-this-how-all-chris-oyakhilomes-churches-are/[/url]

Hehehe. You know LMFAO's "Sexy and I Know It" song, right? Well, no matter whether you are gay or straight, I think your underwear should be le chique!

Lolz. @ceospecial, you fit buy for QuickSell na. Oya, collect link: Quicksell.com.ng, and search for underwear abi na boxers sef....

I swear, I didn't mean to thrill your gay fantasies, amigos. Damn, we have too much gay-ass peeps in this country!

Maestro, for Quicksell.com.ng/blog

Ouch.

So you're gonna be getting him "aerated" briefs, right? I just hope they aren't skirt-like all in a bid to give his "Benny" (as you put it) a breather!

I still think your forethought's pretty cute, though

[url]Quicksell.com.ng[/url] is a website that stocks discounted products from any category. Currently, Quicksell stocks some highly discounted iPads and Smartphones.

Some of you who have little iPad problems might be wondering if it is possible to repair it yourselves (without damaging it even further) instead of parting with hard-earned money at computer village. There is an article on [url]Quicksell.com.ng[/url] that addresses this problem, with solutions to common iPad problems. Here is the link to the article: http://quicksell.com.ng/solution-to-common-ipad-problems/

Cheerio!

LMAO! You married, Miss (or Mrs.) Ferhyntorlah?

ferhyntorlah: A man's undergarment shouldn't be tight IMO; it should be loosed so that the testicles can breathe and release heat easily.

It can be fitted but not too tight like the ones I'm seeing above. Heat and a man's reproductive system are not friendly.

Please men, abstain from wearing black underwears because it absorbs heat. In thermodynamics, black is an absorber of heat and heat isn't good for the male organ since it affects semen production.

True. Very true, Ferhyntorlah. However, although these boxers are more for the 'sex appeal' of the audience, I assure you they only appear to be tight. They are quite comfortable, and the band doesn't even pinch the waste at all. The boxers are so designed in a way that they give room for the testicles and all that.

We wouldn't want to blame some new-fangled underwear for low sperm counts and erectile dysfunction now, would we?

Nice one! Jeeze! Can you tell me what software he used?

I wonder why women have the 'right' to wear sexy underwear while men have, until quite recently, only ass-covering materials to boast of. It is mind-boggling. Why did this happen? I am guessing that this is rooted in the age-long tradition that the men are the savages, the hunters, and women are the prey, the hunted – and in that fashion, they need to properly package the 'goods' so that they can be effectively 'preyed' upon.

We (the men) are relieved that underwear makers have finally woken up from this dogma, and realized that even in the animal kingdom, female animals are now known to do the 'chasing'. I mean, peahen actually 'bid', while the peacock struts about with his 'sexy' feathers.

The good thing, at least, is that now, men's underwear are also a priority in the fashion world, and they can now be bought in Nigeria! There are quite a number of underwear designs available to make any woman blush to see a man in all his 'glory'.

Let it not be said that when it comes to underwear, it's a woman's world, biko.

Some of my pastime works

Spywareczar, you do not reply idiots like that. The dude obviously doesn't know that designers, while being versatile, usually use one style - the one they find joy in - when they are drawing for fun.

Take my work for instance. All these were done when I was bored. Only a fool would look at these and suddenly conclude that I can't do something else.

Sleek05: I think u shudda jus stuck wit d English ur lil brain can produce. All in a bid 2 insult me, ure writin yeye grammar. Wtf z 'discombulated'. Mtchw

Now, this is funny! Hehehe

dabrake, not sure if u were smart enuf to notice, bt when ur so-called students and lecturers 'copy' wikipedia, there's a little page called 'REFERENCE' where they give honor to whom it is due.

That said, when we use phones, we are not 'copying' technology, rather we 'adopt' technology. Geez, why am I even taking time to explain this?

Have u heard the term 'intellectual property'? Well, that is exactly what we're talking about here.
