The police in Ilorin have arrested a houseboy, Israel Adewale, for allegedly providing information and facilitating the entrance of criminals who robbed his master and battered his daughter.

Adewale, who was rescued from remand home by his boss, Oluwanishola Amao, with the belief that he could be rehabilitated, was arrested with two other suspects, John Patrick and Dapo Sodiq.

It was gathered that three robbery suspects raided Kaduna Road, Adewole Estate residence of Oluwanishola at 12 midnight on Tuesday without breaking any door.

The suspects beat the man and his daughter who had just completed her youth service thoroughly and raided every room in the house before making away with valuables that they could find in their victim's Honda Accord marked HU 859 AB.

Meanwhile, four young men are currently helping the Kwara State Police Command in uncovering the mystery surrounding two human skulls found in their possession in Shao area of Kwara State by the police.

The four men, including two herbalists, Tunde Ajenifuja, and Abiodun Adetayo, the police alleged, sponsored Shina Suleiman and Yomi Aregbe to source for the human heads for undisclosed reasons.

In a statement in Ilorin on Monday by the Police Public Relations Officer of the command, Mr. Muyiwa Adejobi, the police claimed that the suspects were nabbed after an informant hinted the police that he had seen some men with human skulls in Oke-Shao area of the town.

He said, "Immediately, the police swung into action and arrested two suspects (Shina Suleiman and Yomi Aregbe). It was revealed that the suspects were sponsored by two herbalists - Tunde Ajenifuja and Abiodun Adetayo - who were subsequently arrested by the police with the human skulls."

This post is for anyone who has a website and is struggling to get traffic to it. The purpose of this post is to give you free methods that will bring traffic to your website in short as well as long term.

One of the most basic things to realize if you have a new website is that, it will take some time before you start getting continuous flow of traffic to your website. The more effort you put in the better it will be for you but it will still take some time. No matter how good you are, some things just take time.

"You can't produce a baby in one month by getting nine women pregnant." - Warren Buffet

So, if you're ready to begin, here are some of the things that will help you get traffic to your website:

1: Produce Valuable Content

First and probably the most important things is to produce valuable content. Not only it will help you get more traffic, it will also help you build trust and make more sales.

How will valuable content help you get more traffic?

First of all, it will get more shares. The only reason people will share your content with their friends is if they like it and the only way they'll like it is if it is valuable. It could be funny, helpful, informational or whatever but it needs to give the audience some sort of value.

Secondly, it will have better rank in search engine. A lot of people run after Google, trying to do everything possible to get a good rank but not realizing that Google runs after value.

Think about it, the two biggest factors for ranking in Google are first, keywords (anyone can do it) and second, backlinks (especially from quality sources).

Now anyone can add their target keywords on their site and in their content but you can't get backlinks from other big sites if your content sucks. The only reason any authority site will link back to your site within their content is if your site provides value to their readers.

Third reason why you should produce valuable content is, so that you can sustain the traffic coming to your website. Let's say you somehow manage to get traffic to your website (suppose you used paid traffic), but will those visitors stay on your website or visit your site again if they find no value there.

People don't visit your site because of you, they visit because of themselves and if they find no value in exchange of their time and attention why would they ever visit again or why would they share it with their friends?

Now in order to produce valuable content you'll need to understand your audience's need and produce content that they find helpful or interesting.

Stop writing content to impress Google or to get more shares and start writing it for your audience; you'll end up with much better rank and higher shares.

Producing valuable content will automatically enable you to take advantage of two biggest online traffic sources; search engine and social media.

2: Get Some Initial Visitors

Just by constantly producing valuable content you'll end up with a lot of consistent traffic to your site in long term but you'll have to bring some initial visitors to your site or else how would anyone find out about your great content anyways?

In the beginning you'll have to bring few people to your website and then (if they liked your content) they'll tell other people about it and will visit your site again and in this way your site will continue to get more and more visitors. Plus at the same time your site will begin to get mentions on other websites thus building backlinks for you and getting better and better rank in Google (that means more traffic) and this will become a cycle...

More people = more shares + more backlink = even more people

But getting those initial visitors is an important part to begin this cycle.

So, how do you get some initial traffic to your site?

Here I'm gonna give you some techniques you can use:

Social Media

First thing you can do is to share your content on your own social media accounts. Every time you write a new post or produce a new piece of content, share it with your own friends or followers on Facebook or Twitter or LinkedIn.

You can also join Facebook and LinkedIn groups related to your topic and share your posts in those groups.

Other Sources

Another thing you can do is to convert a small part of your post to other formats and share it on different platforms. Like you can make a short video from your post and add it to YouTube and link back to the original post in the description so that anyone who wants to get full content would visit your site.

You can do the same thing in other formats too, like you can convert your post into PDF or PPT and add it to Slideshare or convert it to an infographic and add it to Pinterest etc. (with a link back to your site obviously)

Guest Posting

Third thing you can do is to guest post on other blogs. You can find out blogs similar to your blog but having bigger audience than you, and add guest posts on them with a link back to your content.

Most of the small bloggers will allow you to write a guest post on their blog as long as you're giving value within your content. You can link back to your site somewhere within the content of your guest post or you can link back in the end (in 'about the author' section).

Do yourself a favor and save your time by following these two rules; first of all do not send guest posting request to blogs that don't allow guest posting (check out their blog's rules first) and secondly, don't send requests to huge authority blogs (like Forbes or INC) especially in the beginning they won't accept it. Start with small blogs and as you progress you can begin to write for huge blogs.

Note: Guest posting is not only going to give you some initial traffic it is also a great way of building backlinks and thus by writing guest posts you're increasing your blog's search engine rank in long term.

Forums and Quora

Other than these three things you can use Forums and sites like Quora to get some initial visitors. Find out some of the most popular forums in your niche and join them.

Most of the forums allow you to add a signature (with a link) that's displayed with all your posts. Just add the link back to your site in your signature and start adding posts. Spend 5-10 minutes daily on forums answering other posts and you'll start getting traffic to your site.

You can also use the site Quora. Join Quora and start answering questions related to your topic with a link back to your content wherever it's relevant.

3: Build An Email List

Now the last tip for this post is to build an email list and I suggest that you start building your email list as soon as you start your blog.

Email list is not going to help you with attracting or bringing traffic to your site but it will help you sustain your traffic. Every time someone visits your site, reads your content and leaves it, even if they do have liked your content chances are they'll forget about your site and will never visit again.

To prevent this, you can get their email address when they first visits your site and then every time you create a new post or publish something you can send them an email and bring them back to your site.

Building an email list is a very effective way of growing and maintaining your audience. Think about it, the only people who'll give you their email address are the ones who liked your content and trusted you and thus when you publish a new post they have a much higher chances visiting and reading it (all you have to do is to send them an email to inform them about your new stuff).

Since, your email list subscribers have liked your stuff in first place thus they have a much higher chances of sharing it with their friends and thus bringing more people to your site, which ultimately will lead to more emails and thus more traffic and so on.

The most popular way of getting email addresses is by offering something to your audience in exchange like a book or course etc. Create something valuable related to your topic and offer it to your audience in exchange of their email address.

You can take help from online tools like ConvertKit. It will help you build forms and landing pages to collect emails and create broadcast and automatic email sequences.

Summary

The first and most important thing to build long term traffic is to constantly create valuable content for your audience.
Get some initial visitors to your site from social media, forums, Quora, guest posting etc.
Above all start building an email list from the beginning, it will help you grow your audience to a huge level.

The Lagos State Police Command arrested club owner and Lagos socialite Mike Nwogu known to his fans as Pretty Mike for chaining young women on more than one occasion.

Photos of Nwogu putting women on a dog leash went viral online with many calling on authorities to put him into questioning.

Nwogu told the police he won’t be doing such actions again on Wednesday.

The Lagos State Ministry of Justice confirmed the arrest in a statement by its Director, Public Affairs, Bola Akingbade.

The statement said Nwogu was arrested on Wednesday “for dehumanising young girls by turning them into human puppies with chains around their necks”.

The 30-year-old is cooperating with the authorities in their investigation and has signed an undertaking to stop the act and apologise to the public, according to the statement.

The undertaking, the statement said, read, “I, Mike Eze Nwalie, A.K.A Pretty Mike of 21A Magodo GRA, Luma Street, do hereby undertake to stop whatever act of putting girls on a leash or any other degrading treatment to ladies and guys.

“I am aware that such act offends the law of the State of Lagos and if I repeat it again, there will be legal act towards me. I undertake to issue a letter of apology to the public effective from tomorrow on all my social media platforms.”

The Lagos State Attorney General and Commissioner for Justice, Mr. Adeniji Kazeem, was quoted as saying, the state government will not tolerate any anti-social behavior that attempt to dehumanise any citizen in the State.

“The Lagos State Government is committed to the protection of the rights of all citizens including children, women and all the vulnerable persons in the State,” Kazeem said.

Since piracy seems to be the biggest threat in the entertainment industry especially the Yoruba movie sector and Nigerian government is not showing any interest to help out, several projects were put together by the practitioners of the profession to battle it. However, Tope Adebayo, one of the sons of veteran actor, Adebayo Salami aka Oga Bello is right now warming up for the official unveiling of a project called H-Pro to combat the dreadful piracy.

As stakeholders, he look forward to see every member of the industry at the unveiling to take advantage of the project.

The programme holds at Block 2a plot 18, Guesstimate Avenue, Back of NNPC Filling station, Along Etal Hotel, Oregun Ikeja, Lagos by 3PM on Thursday 22nd December, 2016.

Some guys are too nervous to ask their crush out in person, why not ask her out over text instead!

It’s a new era – people are texting each other nudes, snap chatting their dinner, and catching Pokemon. I mean, why not ask someone out over text? Maybe you briefly met them, or you get nervous while trying to call them. Listen, at the end of the day, you have to do what makes you feel comfortable. If you have no idea how to ask a girl out over text, just follow these simple steps, and it’s practically impossible for you to go wrong!

How to ask a girl out over text

If texting is your thing, then it’s the way to ask a girl out. But, getting “lol” or “k” as a response isn’t going to cut it. So, since your phone is now anxiously in your hand, let’s see how to ask a girl out over text – and get a yes.

#1. Start with a strong opening

Don’t just send her a text that says, “hey” or even worse, “heyyy.” Come on man, you’re better than that. I know, deep down, you’re full of topics and conversation starters. If you send a one-worded text, you’re going to get a one worded reply – if you’re lucky.

If a guy just texts me “hey,” odds are I won’t reply unless we’re already friends. And even then, I know this conversation won’t be interesting. Where can you go from there? Here you go. This is what happens:

“Hey”

“Hey”

“What’s up?”

“Watching a movie, you?”

“Just chillin’ lol”

“Lol”

And end of scene.

I imagine your eyes were slowly closing while reading that because mine were while typing it. It’s dull and lame. Start with a good opener. Ask if she’s watched a new movie that’s come out, or mention something funny or weird that happened to you. Whatever it is, please, just don’t make it a one-worded text.

#2. Feel the mood

If you’re texting her, and you’re feeling that she’s not really feeling the conversation, then abort the mission. I repeat – abort mission. Maybe she’s grumpy or had an argument with her mom. And trust me, if you ask her out during that time, you may not get the answer you want.

Women decide things depending on our emotional state at the time. If a guy asks me out and I’m already in a bad mood, I’m not thinking, “Say yes, because tomorrow you’ll be in a better mood.” No. Never.

In fact, I’m probably wishing for everyone to disappear. So, timing is everything. Don’t all of a sudden stop texting her, but let the conversation die. And then text her later or the next day. That’s one of the things you really need to remember about how to ask a girl out over text.

#3. Keep the conversation going

Okay, so she’s replying, and you’re finally having a conversation with her. Now, you have to keep the conversation going. If she’s a natural talker, then you won’t have any problem carrying on the conversation.

However, if she’s more shy and reserved, ask her questions or find a topic that she’s interested in. If you do some slight research beforehand, find out what she likes so you have an idea of what to bring up if the conversation starts to run dry.

But remember, if this is your first conversation with her *and it’s still a little rigid*, there’s nothing wrong with saving your question for the next conversation. If you rush it, it may feel too forced.

#4. Move towards your goal

You’ve been texting her for a while now, and you’re wondering when you should ask the question. Listen, let the conversation take its natural course. Don’t try to rush through the subjects like you’re ticking them off of the list.

But, before you hang up, remember to ask her out. I mean, that’s why you’re talking to her, right? So, don’t get nervous all of a sudden – you made it through the conversation, so just finish it!

#5. Ask her out

If you’ve been wondering how to ask a girl out over text, then you have to, umm, actually ask her out. If you’re texting her, and there’s all of a sudden an elephant in the room, maybe it’s time for you to pop that question. Not the marriage one. The dating one. Let’s not get that far ahead.

It doesn’t have to be a one-on-one date if you think she’s a little nervous. Ask her to the movies with a group of people. That way, you can have a casual encounter without having the feeling of it being a date.

In fact, she’ll be more willing to come out if she’s with her friends – it’s like a security blanket for her. When she’s more comfortable with you, then ask her out on a solo date so you two can get to know each other more intimately.

#6. Have a plan

Have a plan ready for the date, whether it’s one-on-one or a group event. There’s nothing worse than when a guy asks you out, you say yes, and then he asks you what you would like to do.

You asked me out! I thought you had a plan! This puts us in an awkward position to all of a sudden try and come up with an interesting date idea. We girls need time to prepare for that. And you do, too. So, do a quick search on the internet and see what kind of events are happening around your city.

Maybe there’s a block party or a food festival going on. Have a couple choices ready and let her see which one she’s interested in checking out. Those are much better date ideas than going to see a movie – you can do better than that. So, if you really want to ask this girl out, then at least be somewhat prepared.

#7. Figure out logistics

Don’t let her pick the day and time. Have it ready. I mean, don’t say, “we are meeting tomorrow at 6:00.” That’s a little too dictator-like for us. But say, “I can pick you up tomorrow at 6:00, if that works for you.”

This shows her that you’re able to take charge and actually take a girl out on a proper date. Girls like a man who can take charge of a situation. It gets us going.


Now you can stop wondering how to ask a girl out over text. It really isn’t as hard as it looks! If you follow these steps, then you’ll have no problem getting her to say yes.
