I took a self imposed break from nairaland, a year break, ditto for instagram too. Finally came back and posted some of the pictures already on this thread, on Instagram with hash tags and got little to no engagements. Hash tags that I knew of, gives posts; engagements, likes in seconds, sometimes comments too, even if you might not be able to read it as it’s in another language. So I was bothered as to what went wrong. Made some keyword search pertaining to my lack of engagement and found one word interesting, SHADOWBAN. This word meant your post had been kept in the shadows, even if you utilized all 30 hash tag slots. Nobody outside your followers would see your posts. Before I took the break, I had converted my account to a business account which means I could see specifically where my engagement was from and how far the post went. Back to the present dilemma, stats from the post showed that I didn’t have any engagement of significance from hash tags. This further reiterated the meaning of this newly found word. Lucky I found some article online stating some procedures to determine if ones account had been shadow banned. Took this test and result fairly teed towards my account being ...banned. I also read the instagram side of the whole shadow ban story and why they had started doing this. It has something to do with people that has in one way or the other tried getting followers and engagements the Crooked way. Using 3rd party sites to get bot generated engagement. Instagram had found a way to identify accounts that had done this at a point and decided to keep these accounts in the shadow. At some point in my instagram journey, I had done that. Another reason why I believed I had been banned. Fast forward, I saw some series of “what to do if your account has been shadow banned” post and followed the steps on it too. One of the steps includes leaving the account for at least 48hrs. Rn I think it’s about 36 hrs now that i have left the account. I hope to open my account later in the day and see a resurrected account, if not, I might be forced to change it. I’d still use Daga creative if I open another. Ohhh,, I haven’t said anything about my brand name and the story behind it. I’d do that in some later posts. For now, I’m keeping my fingers crossed. I’d update on the account. Adios

If your LinkedIn profile is solid (well setup), sure you can.

But I like to include twitter because my account is fairly active, I've got fellow domainers and registrar accounts following me, plus I post often about domain names. The endpoint is just to boost credibility.

fergusen:
This might help someone.

I've had by far the highest response rate today since I started domain outbound. Even those who never replied before did.

What did I do differently?

My subject carried a question mark I.e Nigerian caterer? Caterer in Nigeria?

Salutation was Hey Username or Hi Username.


Body of mail was straight to the point: Are you interested in getting/owning/having/purchasing/etc nairaland.com for your business?.. (paraphrased)

Closing included a link to my twitter page
Let me know.
Thanks,
Fergusen

Coming from someone who cooked this? Instead of you to go clean your kitchen, you and your ilk would be on this thread 24/7, seeking attention from same females you so love to deride.

Soon you’ll start killing snakes and antelopes in that your dirty kitchen.

andrewbaba44:
But lagos airport have been shutted down nah

As I am typing this, I can see international flights approach landing. The thing weak me.

Darevid:
LOL! But yes, you're right. My phone's camera alone cannot produce that I won't lie.

Exactly my point. However, he is equally correct - both the shooting and editing skills of the photographer made those images stand out.

By the way, I still need your editing process that produces those soft nice tone.

Mark9854:
of course I knew it was the editing that made the pictures that good, but then, doesn't it take a good photographer to edit the pictures to that standard? Have a blessed day, boss.

No, I wasn't trying to invalidate your assertion. My post was meant to complement your point. Above all, you are right all along.

Have a good one, sir.

Mark9854:
you just made it clear that most times its not the camera but the photographer that determines how good a photo is... kudos

That's a clear example of good editing.

Chiggsglover:
That's great then, it can be scary if one start to purge and be entering toilet up and down.

Petyprincess:
Lol @ op two pilot is a must o, for large plane you have auto pilot which is a device i think, human pilot nd co-pilot which i think it's to ensure more safety incase of unexpected circumstances or health issues like heart attack,fatigue nd unforeseen situation that may happen!!

In fact, in most long-haul flights, planes fly with 3-5 pilots and second officers. They do switch and shift before they arrive at their destinations.

Aviation is beautiful.

Chiggsglover:
True o, the Visa application experience isnt like the one in Nigeria

Phelixblaq:
Don’t get it twisted, Ireland is not in the schegen zone

Damn! I already got it twisted, lol.

Chiggsglover:
Ireland doesn't give schengen, we have to apply.
It's like strolling to your backyard.

Crazy, and I was thinking Ireland gives Schengen Visa since they are part of the EU. So you won't be able to stroll around Europe without visas?

Oga o.

Chiggsglover:
Lol, true sha, where are the Old Gs.

UK is €25 for flight, lol

Chiggsglover:
It's not door they close, it's the fact that lots of people are squeezing their way through the poor door. Irish Visa takes 5 weeks, I got mine in 7.

That's a nice point though, very true. German student visa used to be one of the easiest in Europe, but once the rejected USA and Canada applicants got to know about the easy route, everything became saturated.

Ireland is towing the same lane.

Chiggsglover:
USA hasn't been doing well recently, Trump is closing the borders for a reason.
Canada is very Golden, the snow.....
The issue with Finland is language, Finish I guess, following the thread, the guy there is doing well.
You see of you apply to that country, your chances of visa success is high.
Germany also is Fantabulous, Language is the major barrier.
Ireland has their own language but its taught in their schools, because most of them drop out of school, some dont learn their local language as it should be.

Yes, it used to be super fantabulous. But right now, they seem to have closed the doors on Nigerian students. Getting an interview date has now become extremely hard.

The result? Nigerian students are now looking elsewhere. Quite painful.

By the way, I am enjoying your thread. Can't just wait for the next update.

Chiggsglover:
Great thanks, point this to anyone interested In traveling and studying.

Sure, cheers.
