do you read before commenting at all?

Vanguard made a mistake. They apologised. That's a media house.

FG has made serious mistakes. What apology have they tendered to Nigerians?

"Whatever you call the names, these scattered voices should find a way of coming together to give us a viable alternative that we can vote for."

It's common sense. Their inability to come together means they can't build a coalition.

She didn't want to sign on for a life of poverty. Not her fault.

He can't say he has not been warned.

Hmm. Great memories.

Nigeria! Hope is not lost.

[b[STEP 5: SET YOUR PRICE BASED ON THE RESULT, NOT THE LENGTH[/b]

We covered pricing for services earlier, but for digital products the logic is slightly different.

Your product should not be priced based on how many pages it has or how long it took you to write.

It should be priced based on what it saves the buyer — in time, money, stress, or mistakes avoided.

As a starting point for the Nigerian market:

A short guide or checklist (under 15 pages): ₦1,500 – ₦5,000
A detailed guide or mini e-book (15 to 40 pages): ₦3,500 – ₦10,000
A template (single document): ₦3,000 – ₦8,000
A template bundle (multiple files): ₦8,000 – ₦25,000
A resource or swipe file pack: ₦5,000 – ₦15,000
A short video training (20 to 60 minutes): ₦5,000 – ₦20,000

For international buyers (pricing in dollars):
Short guide: $5 – $17
Template or resource pack: $15 – $35
Mini course or video training: $25 – $67

If your product solves a high-stakes problem — passing a professional exam, winning a job, avoiding a legal error, growing a business — you can price at the higher end of these ranges.

People pay more for results that really matter to them.

If you are pricing for the Nigerian market, Selar is the easier platform to use. It handles naira transactions natively, is widely trusted among Nigerian buyers, and has a large existing user base.

If you want to reach international buyers or Nigerians in the diaspora, Gumroad is the right choice. It handles dollar payments and has strong discovery features.

You can list on both. They are both free to start.

Progress.

It's estimated that Nigeria spends 600m USD annually to import palm oil. This was a commodity that Nigeria was responsible for over 40% of global oil production around the '50s through to the '70s.

The AI refused to cooperate with that first image.

He knows his supporters are "stupid".

And even as he called them out, since they have sold their fealty to him, they still clapped.

Why is anyone surprised with the kind of cult-following he continues to have? And they continue to make excuses for even the most heinous things he continues to do. These folks hate their country. More importantly, I think they hate themselves.

STEP 4: WRITE YOUR PRODUCT DESCRIPTION IN THREE SENTENCES

Your product description on Selar/Gumroad does not need to be long.

It needs to be clear.

Use this structure:

Sentence 1 — Name the exact problem. "If you are a Nigerian freelancer who loses clients because your proposals look unprofessional or take too long to write, this template was made for you."

Sentence 2 — State what is inside. "Inside you will find a ready-to-use Microsoft Word proposal template with sections for your services, pricing, timeline, and terms — plus a guide on how to customise it for different clients in under 15 minutes."

Sentence 3 — State the result. "Download it today and send your next client proposal with confidence — without starting from a blank page."

That is your entire product description.

Three sentences.

Clear, specific, honest. No exaggeration, no empty promises.

Just: here is the problem, here is what you get, here is what changes for you.

They caught it finally. Good on them.

Will the FG apologise for their errors?

Chelsea doing the most.

Against Bournemouth...

From where is he getting these 2 million "votes"?

STEP 3: GIVE YOUR PRODUCT A CLEAR, SPECIFIC TITLE

Your title is the first thing a buyer sees. It does most of the selling before they even read the description.

The formula that works almost every time is this:

[What it does] + [Who it is for] + [The specific result they will get]

Examples:

"The Nigerian Freelancer's Client Proposal Template — Get More Clients to Say Yes Without Writing From Scratch Every Time"

"How to Pass Your ICAN Foundation Exam on the First Attempt — A No-Nonsense Study Guide for Working Professionals"

"30 Ready-to-Post Instagram Captions for Nigerian Fashion Businesses — Never Stare at a Blank Caption Box Again"

"The Small Business Owner's Monthly Budget Tracker — Know Exactly Where Your Money Is Going Every Month Without Hiring an Accountant"

Notice what these titles all do: they name the buyer, name the result, and make it clear that this product saves time, stress, or money.

There is no clever wordplay. No vague inspiration. Just a clear promise of what happens when someone buys.

A weak title says what the product is.

A strong title says what the product does for the buyer.

Isn't it funny that this clown will create a problem and try to act as if he's solving the same problem? Cozying up with adversaries while shunning and shaming allies.

The 'poorly educated' in the US did this one.

Really good stuff. Nigerians and entertainment though... 5&6.

May Nigeria be healed of all the errors of our past leaders.

Quelme:
Is like this news channel Arise is the mouthpiece of IPOB/ESN. Anything to whip up tribal and ethnic sentiment, they are always ready to propagate it.

We must not be afraid to confront our past, no matter how ugly it is. That's how the country rises up better and stronger.

We must continue to find constructive ways to remedy the past and then we can all move forward to a brighter future.

What else is happening in PH, causing this large disparity?

There is a reason why there is international law, so that the unending wars that have plagued the world in centuries past is contained in some way.

Be careful of those who preach law and order for you, but ignore it when the tables are turned.

“I think that there are some politicians who think that Nigerians are stupid. Election is in January, this discount is for one month. Are we that dumb that we will give you a discount for one month so that you can vote for us in January? How does it even add up?

Trying to be clever by a half is what y'all are doing.

You know what you're doing.

Some Nigerians also know what you're doing.

Whatever you're doing with fuel prices few months to the elections tell us a whole lot. Especially for a problem that you caused and has been on since June 2023.

“Over 230 million Nigerians depend on energy to run their economy, and the number of NNPC outlets might not be enough to implement the discount efficiently."

You think the government does not know? Oh, they know quite alright and still they are doing this instead,

As always, pot calling kettle black. Find another line oga.

To what end is this alarming news? Why is this a thing in 2026?

STEP 2: DECIDE WHAT YOUR PRODUCT WILL ACTUALLY CONTAIN

This is where most people stall. They know their topic but they do not know how to structure the content.

Here is the simplest structure that works for almost any PDF guide or digital resource:

Section 1 — The problem. Describe clearly the situation your buyer is in before they use your product. What are they struggling with? What mistake are they making? What is costing them time, money, or stress right now? This section is not about you — it is about making the buyer feel seen and understood.

Section 2 — Why this matters. Help them understand the cost of staying stuck. Not in a fear-mongering way — just clearly and honestly. If someone keeps sending unprofessional proposals, they keep losing contracts. If someone cannot read their bank statement, they cannot understand whether their business is actually making money. This section builds the motivation to keep reading and to act.

Section 3 — The solution, step by step. This is the main body of your product. Walk them through exactly what to do, in the order they should do it. Be specific. Do not write in vague motivational language. Write the way you would explain it to a friend sitting next to you who has never done this before and needs you to be clear, not impressive.

Section 4 — A worked example or case study. Show them what success looks like using this information. It does not have to be dramatic. Even a simple before-and-after, or a hypothetical walkthrough using a fictional person's situation, makes the content feel real and applicable rather than theoretical.

Section 5 — What to do next. Do not just end the product. Give them a clear first action. "The next thing to do right now is..." and then tell them. This is the difference between a product that people use and a product that people download and forget.

For a template product, the structure is different — you are providing the actual file for them to use. But include a short instruction page at the front that explains each section of the template, why it is there, and how to fill it in.

A template without instructions is a blank document.

A template with clear guidance is a proper product.

Roast

Let's anticipate his crude response after Natalie shows and interprets it for him.

MrRichmond:
Any small bad news about Trump must enter front page.

Wonderful

The man delivers all by himself.

JP Morgan in Nigeria is not what is going to save Nigeria from bad leadership that is consistently causing inflation, mass unemployment and more people falling into poverty.

Those macro numbers might look good on paper, but how does that extend to the everyday man?

Make una press each other's neck well well and may Nigeria merge stronger.

Keep reaching.

Birds of a feather.

This Reno dude though... Or should we say Ambo Reno?

This is a very strange story.

Stephen0mozzy:
Maybe it's me coping, but the West seems to breed a lot of not very strong-willed young people - maybe it's the suffering that hardens us here in Nigeria?

I agree with this statement.

The strong will of the old Westerners seem to be gone. Now, they are more lily-livered folks all around the town.

Nice images. But the reality is that borders pass through several land areas especially long ones like the US-Canada, US-Mexico, Russia-China and Mongolia-China.

For instance, there are 119 official land border ports of entry along the US-Canada border, which is the longest undefended international border in the world. And that's just the official land border ports. There is still water.

In other words, the images are not definitive.

Africa is the largest but the most backward. Too bad

Africa has more countries than others but it's not the largest in terms of population or land mass.
