1. How to go about it? Hire a ghostwriter from guru.com, upwork.com, or theurbanwriter.com, or you can Google other reliable companies or sites.

2. Forums or groups? I know none.

3. Ghostwriter = someone/company that'll write your book.

4. Copywriter = someone who is specialized in writing a sales copy — someone who highlights how amazing your book is and why people should read (buy) it — a hype man.

I appreciate you Sir. I'm even more amazed you responded so quickly.

iLegendd:
In this business, there are two people.

1. Writers (people that know how to write)
2. Publisher (people that love the business, but can't write or hate to write)

So, if you don't have money, write yourself, but if you do, hire a ghostwriter.

To those reading, you can't join this business with empty brain and empty pocket. You must either have a full brain, or a full pocket before you can join this train. If you have both, then the sky is your starting point.

Thanks bro for opening my eyes to stuff like this.
For me, I simply don't have the time to write due to my other hustle. I will like to go on the publisher model, and hire a ghostwriter. How do I go about this?

Are there forums, or groups you can source for ghost writers or copywriters. I don't know if there is a difference between the two

I visited Kessington Adebutu's home town, or is it village (?), Iperu Remo in Ogun State, and I was thoroughly disappointed.

The roads, primary schools, clinic, etc are all in same state of decay, like any typical Nigerian village. The only sign that this man comes from that town are large signboards praising him.

These super rich Nigerians are so so selfish, they won't even tar or dualise the roads to thier village

1.6 million buses in total..
Nice development

If a government is going to import 1.6 million buses, doesn't it make sense to set up an assembly plant locally so jobs can be created?

In any case, why not patronize Innoson who already assembles buses locally or revive Anammco at Enugu or Steyr in Bauchi?

kayusely70:
He has a Master's Degree in Military Strategies.

Pure lies and fabrication��

Buhari attended a short course at US War College in 1980. The college did not start awarding master's degree until 20 years after in 2000. So how did Buhari's mere certificate of attendance translate to Masters degree 20 years later?

They are running Nigeria on this same principle of bare faced lies and deception. If a man cannot be honest on such a simple matter that the war college provided clarity in black and white, what can he be honest about?

Nonsense

But u have already commented

For sure, she's not your class, cause she's doesn't even know u exist. She has never read your story. But u are here reading and commenting on her life. So who has more class?

Misplaced priority. Any nonesense avenue to waste money, this government will jump in to massage thier ego.

Will they use those toy rockets to fight Boko Haram? Ordinary bullets and food the soldiers do not have. They have to supplement watery beans by catching and eating snakes. Mtcheeew

Very depressing. Buhari is a big disappointment

What exactly is Governor Sanwo Olu doing at small private events like this? He doesn't seem to realise the enormous amount of work his office entails

Was this not the President who once shrugged and said “tough luck” to those who could not get forex to school abroad? How come he is not living by what he preaches? Whatever happened to the National Hospital in Abuja that could not accommodate his grandchild? To force Nigerians to consume locally made products, Buhari’s government has shut down land borders. Expectedly, the prices of essential goods have gone up while there is no concomitant increase in their income level. Consequently, things are tough for people more than ever before but of course, such hardship is the vision of a “disciplined” citizenry Buhari imagines will propel Nigeria to a greater height. Yet, in his private life, he and his family live lavishly.

Amidst all of the disciplining of people going on, the President and his immediate family are junketing the world on our dime while his extended family mooches off on the Villa’s resources?. So, is Buhari’s policies actually about disciplining people into better behaviour or just an expression of sadism? If it were truly about discipline, it would, and should, start within his household. Think about it, the same government that says they will have to sack workers before they can pay the proposed minimum wage appointed six aides for the President’s unelected wife?. What was even more baffling is how these revelations flew out of their mouths without a sense of self-awareness. Fatima Daura’s moan about Mrs. Buhari makes you wonder if she is not the quintessence of the lazy Nigerian youth that wants everything free; the type Buhari himself bemoaned the other time. Before Buhari became President, was she sleeping on the streets?

Finally, I know Nigerians joked a lot about the President’s impending wedding to his Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Hajiyya Saddiya Farouk, but the punchline seems to have flown over our heads. The rumour circulated partly because of Aisha Buhari’s absence from public view. When she returned and was asked about it, her answer gave away a lot. Although the wedding itself never happened, but as the Yoruba say, it is in the moments of frivolity that we come to a realisation of the truth.. Here is an angle to the purported wedding we should all consider: suppose Buhari intended to marry that woman, what stops him? This is not about religious or cultural propriety of his taking another wife, but democratic ethics.

Within the short period that the President set up a new ministry and appointed a woman as the head, rumours sprang that he would also marry her. If he had gone ahead and done it, he would have set up horrible precedent on the use and abuse of power for personal ends. But then, when you ponder it, you see that this is a President who has already carried nepotism to a level most of us could not have imagined a mere five years ago. If he decides to go further and re-purpose part of his kitchen cabinet into use for “Za oza room,” what could have stopped him? Which agency of government today has the autonomy or the administrative boldness to confront him on such impropriety? They will all quiver under his majesty and find excuses for him like they are wont to do. The only place the noise will come from will be social media, and even that will eventually fizzle out after some news cycles. So, yes, Buhari could have done it and got away with it.

By: Abimbola Adelakun

President Muhammadu Buhari built his brand on three myths: self-discipline, fiscal discipline, and military discipline. These myths became the national millstone when fate dealt Nigeria a diseased hand during the night of December 31, 1983 and ushered in Buhari into the presidency until August 1985. His quicksand morality has been an ever-present conundrum.

From his first coming till the present time, Buhari has variously talked down on Nigerians about their indiscipline. When it comes to understanding Nigeria’s issues, Buhari’s mind can neither accept nuances nor complexities beyond the nostrum of discipline. He believes if he could intravenously inject us with a dose of discipline, the country will magically straighten itself out. From his War Against Indiscipline days to the present day when Nigerians are serially blamed for their troubles, his mindset has not changed.

The only purpose his unwavering belief in the gospel of discipline has served is the legitimization of abuse of Nigerians.

But ruses have a way of outing themselves. The recent public exchange by his family members shows that Buhari, the chief disciplinarian, leads a household that lacks discipline. So far, it is 2019’s biggest paradox. When Aso Rock’s events of the past two weeks are summed, they tally into a spectacular wonder: the man who has spent the better part of his life barracking Nigerians over discipline somehow overlooked his own nuclear and extended family!

First was the mischief of his social media-created marriage to another wife. Second, the sitting first lady, Aisha Buhari, seemingly responding to the threat of displacement, hastily returned to Nigeria from a trip she did not announce she was taking. Third, the twist in the Aso Rock meltdown – Fatima, the daughter of Buhari’s nephew, Mamman Daura, crowned herself the public conscience. In quick order, the charade fell apart and the Aso Rock under Nigeria’s Caesar was revealed to be an unruly seat of indiscipline. The family that rivals the resident jesters of Aso Rock is the Fuji House of Commotion.

Aisha Buhari’s interviews to respond to the dust that unsettled while she was away, again, became a means of corralling public sentiment in her favour. The way the woman talks about her family issues in public makes you wonder if she and her husband even have a relationship at all. This time, her salvos were so baffling you wonder if Buhari is in charge of his household. Or, he just sits somewhere, picks his teeth while his women beat each other and make video recordings of themselves while at it? Then, Fatima. From the entitled way that one talked, you would think Aso Rock is her father’s agboole (compound) and she deserves a space there at all costs.

After listening to all the sides, you ask if there are elders in the President’s family who can enjoin the warring parties to stop disgracing themselves and Nigeria. If Buhari is too old, too weak, or too laid-back to discipline his family, there should at least be some respected people in his family who should have enough perspicacity to see that all of the nonsense soils the President’s reputation.

If such elders exist in Aso Rock or Daura, they should step in and intervene on Buhari’s behalf – if he is too busy with national affairs. They should save him from the shame of his family and save all of us from the distraction of a first family acting out a season of Big Brother Naija. They should be encouraged to classiness. They are the President’s family, not the Kardashians. They should stop acting out in public like a savage troupe.

After your disgust with the family squabbles settles, then other things dawn on you. Wait, you say, did Aisha Buhari just say in that interview that the President’s grandchild was born in Spain? Did she just talk about crisscrossing the world from the UK to Saudi Arabia for medical and religious pilgrimages? Oh, wait again, did Mrs. Buhari just thank her husband for appointing six aides to her “office” to manage her affairs while she was away?. You listen to all this, and you question how it came to be that the President who asks the country to sacrifice their tastes for foreign goods had his grandchild born in Europe.

You cannot satisfy human ..pdp and this jonathan people..they've never praised APC and Buhari for once.

Buhari has the power to live with his family members in Aso rock

Who gave him powers to allocate Aso Rock quarters to squatters and illegal occupants?

Why should any sane person praise him? Praise him for what?
For turning Nigeria into the poverty capital of the world?
Praise him for increasing hardship and hunger in the land?

All I see is an empty warehouse.
Since when did we start labelling empty warehouse as 300MW.

Chai!! Lai Mohammed is cranking up his lie factory for Buhari

I just knew women who love exposing their nudity will come here to bad mouth that gown

Totally agree with you. Infact, it has reduced so much that Ganduje can convert his babanriga to Dollar storage vault and Buhari defended it.

Curroption has so reduced that Tinubu is now moving cash in bullion vans in broad daylight to his residence in Ikoyi for use in bribing election officials and Osibanjo and Buhari consider it as perfectly acceptable.

Bobbyfreshh:
Yes corruption has reduced with timipreye sylva being made minister of petroleum and his loots (48 houses )returned, corruption has reduced significantly, with people like babachir lawal free despite using 200 million to cut grass.... And of course God's will akpabio our honorable minister of ND affairs 120 billion naira case mysteriously disappeared from the archives of EFCC hence his The discontinuation of his trial.....

He stole only N14m !!! That's why the sentence is harsh.

The perm sec, made a grevious mistake no self respecting Nigerian public official should ever make. That is steal too little. He should have used bullion van like Tinubu to shift the money or stolen bundles of dollars like Ganduje. Or better still shifted billions like Mains of Pension Funds Commission. If he did, by now he will be highly celebrated and toasted by all and sundry including Buhari as being smart.

Too much much smoke in the Ranger Rover

Even ants and wall gecko in that house will be permanently stoned

majamajic:
it's a big lie , dangote is handling it themselves , I Ve verified

Maybe it's the original poster who is telling the "big lie" because the info that the job was re-awarded to Hitech was embedded in the original post. In any case, why would he tell the truth about every aspect of the story, and then decide to lie about the Hitech (Tinubu) connection alone?

By the way, how did you verify that Hitech is not involved? Did you sight the Contract document and underlying side letters?

You say it's a lie. Where you there when the parties involved were cutting the deal? Dey dia dey mumu yourself.

You better verify quick and come back to brief us.

Almost $1billion to construct a 70km road

This is about N2.2 billion per kilometer .
Is the road made with gold?

This has got to be the most expensive road in the history of mankind, or some people in govt are going to smile to the bank.

abc115:
The minister disclosed that N200.176billion was also approved for construction of link-roads, connecting the second Niger Bridge to Asaba and Onitsha. “Secondly, for the link-road that connects the second Niger Bridge to Asaba and Onitsha. The Asaba link-road was awarded to Julius Berger and the Onitsha link-road was awarded to RCC Construction at the total cost of N200.176 billion.

Every part of the country included

This is a fat lie, and one of the misinformation used to stunt the patronage of all ports from Warri to Calabar (Warri, Koko, Port Harcourt, Ibaka Deep Sea Port, Onitsha, Calabar, etc)

Can you back up this false claims with technical facts? The NPA Managing Director claims the channels are too shallow because of silting. She forgot that one of the primary responsibilities of a ports manager, is to regularly sweep port access channels to ensure enough draught for ships.

Regular sweeping and dredging is done for Apapa port to keep the channel open. Why is it not done for other ports in the South South and Eastern flank of Nigeria?

God is watching all of you with all the lies you use to keep this country down for the benefit of a few

nabegibeg:
The main problem with these ports is that the river channels leading to them are too narrow to accommodate large vessels. The shipping companies find it more convenient to take their vessels to Lagos than to eastern sea ports.

It's you who will not go far in life and will remain miserable because ignorance is your middle name. Keep wallowing in ignorance and defending those who are creaming off the national patrimony.

If this work was openly and competitively tendered and the design specification (concrete) spelt out, are you telling me the likes of Julius Berger, MCC, Cranenburg (doing the spectacular roads in Epe), etc cannot execute it? What unusual road construction skills does Hitech possess that the work should be handed to them on single source basis?

What is the value of the contract? It is the same opacity and secrecy which shrouds all LASG contracts, including budget that reigns supreme in all Hitech contracts. I have the right to query this arrangee contracting because it is my tax money that is being swindled away by the high and mighty and their friends in govt.

Anyone with a tiny knowledge of contracting and procurement knows that single-sourcing should only be attempted in exceptional cases, else you get taken to the cleaners and pay a huge premium.

If you have better information you can defend, please kindly share it here with us, else please continue the argument with your keyboard.

. people like you who never see anything good in others will never go far in life and will forever be miserable seeing others succeeding. stop dishing out information you can't defend.

majamajic:
u might be right , but the machines doing road seal were all written Dangote , notice the big machines at work there , I didn't see hi-tech on any of them ,

The reference to Dangote re-awarding the job to Hitech is in the story. Forget the labels on the equipment. It's a sweetheart arrangee. They decide among themselves whose equipment and personal will be used. Also, how the funding is arranged. See below

"It will be recalled that the reconstruction of Apapa-Oshodi Expressway was started by Dangote Group under the Road Infrastructure Development & Refurbishment Investment Tax Credit Scheme aka Executive Order 007 signed by Pres. Buhari in January 2019 (Dangote awarded the contract to Hitech)".

Gather here if you hate the new Nairaland Interface design.

* Click "like" if you hate it and want to Seun to revert to the deeper green color

* Click "share" if you think it is cool, and we should keep the new look.

I tire for Seun oooo

Since yesterday NL just dey make my eye like wuli wuli. I no like this new design at all

otes35:
Nairaland biko ur current UI isn't maKing sense at all.. Thank you

As long as your lazy son Yusuf will join the tree planting youth, rather than racing power bikes in Abuja streets

Conspiracy theory indeed! Do you have contrary facts, to what I posted. If you chose to wallow in ignorance, the larger tax paying public have the right to know.

Do you really understand the true meaning of "privately funded" projects? I guess you mean the road is owned by Dangote and he pays for the construction as a gift to FG and Nigeria. Dream on. Cost for all PPP funded projects are recovered either by tolling, FG bonds or direct foreign loans taken by FG which are funnelled back to the PPP contractor. There is no free lunch my friend.

The fact that a particular infrastructure project is executed via PPP does not exempt it from BPE due process. Please educate yourself by contacting ICRC.

Who deceived you into thinking only Tinubu's Hitech can build roads? Have you gone to see the mess they have made of Lekki-Epe expressway? They have been struggling with a simple expansion of an existing road for over 12 years now. They have not progressed beyond Sangotedo. There are hundreds of excellent road contractors who can do excellent job, but this nepotistic govt must funnel all jobs to Tinubu

NGpatriot:
Must everything be conspiracy theories or Tinubu this and Tinubu that?

Who cares who is or not doing the job as long as they do a good job.

Construction is privately funded and if Dangote feels like awarding contract or giving their money to Hitech, it's their business and their money.

Which Dangote? Did you read the post at all?

Dangote collected the work, but passed it on to Hitech, Tinubu's construction company fronted for him by Lebanese. It's all arrangee.

Same thing for Oshodi-Murtala Muhammed Int Airport Road. Lagos State under Ambode arm twisted Fashola that Lagos will execute it, then simply passed it on to Hitech. No public tender, no competitive pricing.

The value of both sweetheart contracts is hidden from the public

majamajic:
dangote Construction company is doing a nice job there

they are constructing with cement and iron rod

just like house German floor

or house decking

Lagos state government should pity people living in ajao estate

no road in that area , in area in front of international airport

Another Buhari govt "to" , "shall" , "will" policy.

They should go and manufacture a more expensive lie. This one is too cheap �
