Any country with Islam should be blacklisted, I wish Nigeria should split and let those gay paedophile pigs who call themselves Muslim leave us alone,
All countries should take measures to eradicate Islam from their country if they truly want peace cause everywhere Islam goes it's from "Allah Abubakar" to "Kaboooom".
I remember having a friend who became a Muslim and was almost killed when they heard he did not want to be a Muslim again, he told me how every Muslim fantasies about killing non Muslims and how they secretly do it in rural areas.
And OP don't lump Christianity with that piss religion of serial killers and paedophiles
That religion is God's biggest mistake
Later, this very waste of sperm that must have survived hundreds of abortions would claim to be knowledgeable or civilized. How can someone without the brain of a demented chimpanzee be blaming the actions of 1 million people on 1.6 billion people?

We just love being hypocrites in this country. If you like, bleat like the useless goat that you are from now till the day your moronic existence would part with this world, Islam shall continue to remain THE FASTEST RISING RELIGION in the whole world. There is nothing your smelly islamophobic ass can do to reverse that.

If you were even a true christian, things would have even been more understandable. But its your type that go about sacrificing their parents (if by rare chance, they actually know them) for money rituals, exhuming corpses from the graves of their forefathers and operating baby factories. I would have loved to say that you are a piece of shit, but shit can be used as manure so let's just forget that part.

I think you're being unfair.

What okadabooks promises is a platform.
Okadabooks did not promise that they will force people to buy your book.
Create a sellable product, and it will move by itself.

If the Content you put on the platform is not selling, or you do not know how to market what you're selling, you have no one to blame but yourself.

At this point, what we should ask is why, if you are a writer, and you have poured out from your mind enough to fill the pages of a book, and then you put the said book on Okadabooks, and after five months, your so-called wonderful stories have not made up to ten thousand naira.

What did you write in your book?
What did you say, and how did you say it?
If it is not catchy, if it is not selling, the fault is from you.

I enjoy okadabooks, and I buy books there on a regular basis. So why did I not see your own and buy?
Is your book well written, well edited, and well packaged?
I know authors, some of whom are my friends, who make good sums of money off the stuff they put on okadabooks.

Guy, wetin you dey write?
I have a simple solution for this argument. I challenge you and every other person that disagrees with me to open Okadabooks app and click on any category. You will keep scrolling and scrolling for ages before you find any PAID book that has up to 20 reads. Just go there and check. You can't tell me that 99% of the authors on Okadabooks are not writing great stories.

Also, my main problem with the site is not the fact that I'm not making big sales. My problem is their use of limits. Why make #10,000 the minimum amount one can withdraw when you know that the vast majority of authors don't make half as much as that (even if they all write bad books)? Mind you, it is with these same bad books that my fellow okadabooks author once made it to the top 100 bestsellers on amazon's BDSM erotica niche. Do you think Nigerians are better judges and critics than the whites?

It's simply a way to keep all of our royalties when we eventually give up (just like I have) after publishing more than 30 books on the site. You know what? On the top of this very section, there is a thread where authors on Okadabooks are dropping the links to their books. Why don't you go and look how their books are faring? Is it likely that all of them have bad books?

If there are too many bad books on your site and the bad authors are not making enough sales, then reduce the minimum amount so that the bad authors can eat as well instead of punishing them with slave labour. Why keep their money even if they are no longer interested in using your site to market their bad books?


Does it not surprise you that books from someone as accomplished as Chimamanda Adichie haven't generated up to 1 million naira on the site while the same books have netted more than a million dollars on Amazon alone?


I admit that I sound like a sore loser, but just take your time and conduct a survey for authors on Okadabooks or simply explore the various categories in their site

Be honest with yourself. If it was Sri Lanka or Niger that was doing half of what Iran and North Korea is doing, do you think USA would not have invaded them?

They have always been chickens against countries that have EVEN THE SLIGHTEST means of fighting back. Also, why is the so-called world police not saying anything about the crimes by Israel, India and Saudia?

Is Amazon a good site to publish and earn as each readers read?
Exactly. It's a little competitive but as long as you have a good book with good blurb, you will most likely make 10x more than you can make on Okadabooks and they pay you monthly no matter what you earn

There is no doubt that OkadaBooks is a complete scam and Nigerians and the entire world should stay away from them.

Nobody ever makes money on OkadaBooks. Please all Nigerian writers, stop publishing your books on OkadaBooks because you're only enriching a few greedy and selfish people. They will never pay you whatever you earn. The OkadaBooks platform is not built to make you earn money. It's only built to enrich their pockets at the expense of writers.

They are a bunch of greedy, selfish and wicked people there at OkadaBooks.

Don't publish your books with OkadaBooks and if you have already published your book with them, go right now and remove your books from their website because they're a complete scam.

Go for a more transparent and honest platform such Amazon, Smashwords, etc. Don't ever contemplate publishing your books with OkadaBooks because they're just reaping off Nigerians.
It is just unfortunate that we have no one to save us from them. The main idea behind using that minimum amount is to keep all the royalties when an author inevitably gives up (how many writers can consistently publish for 2 years just to earn #10,000).

Just check the works of some talented Nairalanders on Okadabooks. Brilliant stories that should generate no less than a 200k in an ideal situation are struggling to make #2,000. As if it isn't enough , the authors get frustrated and leave without a kobo while Okadabooks keeps 100% of your profits.

Wow!!!
And to think I've been trying to publish my book on okada books but was a bit put off with the prices I see on those books, ₦50, ₦100 and most are even free , was really curious on how these authors make their money or they just want to get their names out there.
And that led me to search reviews on Google with nairaland as reference and now I'm really surprised.
My sister if you want to see a lot of sales, (as in 2-6 salesgrin), you must charge within that range. Even #200 is a no-go area. If you want to build your name then you have to make your books free. That's the only way to get a lot of readers on Okadabooks.

I advise you publish your book on your website or Amazon because even if you make something on Okadabooks, you will only be a slave to them. At the end of the day, they will get EVERYTHING you have earned unless you miraculously reach their 10k limit.

Dear authors, I know that majority of us want to have our works read while making a few bucks in the process. That is a fair deal but on Okadabooks, there is no such thing as making money. Before I go on to explain, let me tell you how other book publishing platforms like KDP, Smashwords and Draft2digital work.

On these platforms, they have millions of readers surfing their sites and hunting for books. You can literally make a lot of money without spending a dime on ads as long as your cover, description and keywords are good enough. In exchange for giving you the opportunity for using their platforms, they take 30% of your sales as their share (on average). Ladies and gentlemen, if you make #100,000 on a site without adverts and they take #30,000 out if it, I believe it is fair. Also, if you make just ten naira on these websites, they will give you your 7 naira at the end of the month.

Now let's look at Okadabooks. Go and hire the best graphics designer for your book cover, use the catchiest title and buy an editor for your book, you will make a whopping one thousand Naira if you are very very lucky. And that one thousand Naira usually doesn't come from their so-called 300,000 readers. You have to go to facebook, IG, twitter, etc to get your customers, take them to Okadabooks (thereby bringing new customers to Okadabooks) and then dash them 30% of your earnings (the same cut mega sites like Amazon charge) while their so-called 300,000 customers look almost exclusively for free books.

Now, you may think this is still somehow fair but here is the issue: Okadabooks will say that you must make up to 10,000 Naira before you can withdraw (in contrast to other sites that pay you no matter what you earn). Now, 10k is not a very big amount of money but on Okadabooks, it is extremely a herculean task. Everything that you make before you reach that #10,000 goes into Okadabooks bank account (in addition to their 30% cut). They only pay you If you reach their 10k limit.

Now let me tell you what the trick is. When you consistently publish books for months and months without even reaching five thousand naira, you will get tired and give up. Once you give up, Okadabooks gets to keep everything that you have earned while you go home with nothing.

Why am I writing this? It's because I have been a victim and I know so many other victims too even here on nairaland.

I have been regularly publishing since November and even under pricing books (#50-100) just to attract readers but the truth is, there are very few readers on Okadabooks. I had to get my own readers. From November to July, I have not made up to 4k. I never had issues with this but this is what broke my patience;

Fidelity bank kept my 20k after a failed transaction two days before Sallah. Broke and hopeless, I decided to appeal to Okadabooks to give me even if it is just 2k so that I will not go penniless on Sallah day. These people simply ignored my messages. Till date, fidelity bank is yet to give me back my money and Okadabooks is still ignoring my pleas.

I have decided to give up on the site (Of course, they will buy suya with the 3.5k I made from their 300,000 ghost readers) but please, if you are not willing to advertise or write free books then stay away from these leeches . You won't make much from them and the little you make will go into their bank account while you go home with nothing. I have a friend that has 50 books (including novels) with them but he still hasn't crossed 8k on the site.

I believe in freedom of religion but seriously,some aspects of Sharia will be perfect for this country. The penalty for stealing is amputation. If we should adopt it, all this Yahoo PANDEMIC among our citizens will reduce by 80%. Imagine Yahoo boys and politicians stealing billions of Naira and spending less than 10 years in jail.

For 5 billion Naira, i would gladly spend six years in prison. What about amputation and incarceration? The shame will always be there with you. China chose to be barbaric with looters by killing them, now they are reaping the benefits. Same thing with Philippines

Yahoo boys always come with silly excuses. Let me ask you a couple of questions.

1) Are the yahoo boys targeting the governments of those countries or the individuals residing there? How would you feel about being blamed for the actions of your PAST GOVERNMENT?

2) Do the Yahoo boys attack Europe alone? Go and check the news. They attack Australia, Europe, UAE, South Africa, Canada and then worst of all, their fellow Nigerians so saying that the whites did worse is pure bullshit!

3) Are you aware that the "revenge " mission of these Yahoo boys is actually harming Nigeria? Nigerians are collectively losing millions of dollars on Fiverr, EBay, Draft2Digital, PayPal, Upwork and 4chan. Romance sites are routinely banning Nigerians. To get jobs in foreign cities is now a pain in the butt. Even in Africa, we are heavily dispised in countries like Ghana and South Africa. To get Visa in other countries is now a difficult thing. To do business with a foreigner both online and offline is next to impossible, and you are here typing this rubbish and trying to defend fraudsters.

I know your type, you start with saying "crime is bad but... " Bla Bla bla.
