Lool. Some persons who conducted a referrendum not too long ago in order to leave the EU and would still conduct another one to decide the fate of Scotland, are supporting the invisibility of a country where nothing works. And you, the citizens of the said country and jumping about and applauding them like monkeys in a zoo.

Let buhari's economic policies keep peppering you guys well well in that country. until you develop some sense, the suicide rates in the southwest will be on a continous increase. Dirty backstabbing lot.

I guess you will join your hausa brothers. LOL...Yiboos are now supporting Hausas. We can handle you combined.

Thank God we have many Yiboos in Ile-Ife, Join Hausas, we will finish u in Ile-Ife. Ultimatum tribe.

You claimed Yorubas are slaves to Hausas. Now that we demonstrated to you that we are nobody's slave, we just want peace, you started becoming slaves of Hausas yourself.

I disagree First and foremost, Aguiyi Ironsi did not take part in the Coup. He had no idea there was a coup until he got the wind of it. The five Junior Officers otherwise known as The Five Majors with ImNzeogwu as their ring leader also wanted to kill Ironsi as he had killed other officers from other tribefortunately Ironsi got wind of the Coup and botched the Coup, assumed power and decreed a Unitary Constitution. What made the North angry was that after the Coup was botched Ironsi did not Court Martial the Plotters of the Coup instead the Northerners claimed he promoted the Coup Plotters. Ironsi tried to pacify the North by offering the some Northern officers key position in his office and he released some officers who had been thrown in Prison by the Five Majors.. The Northern Officers - humiliated did not care and those released from Prison planned a way to carry out a Counter Coup which was carried out in July 1966.. A very bloody Coup. The Northerners saw the January 15 Coup as an 'Igbo Coup' but in reality Nzeogwu the ring leader of those that carried out the Coup was just an Igbo in paper. Spoke Hausa fluently, dressed like an Hausa when he was not on Uniform had lot of Hausa friends.
Let this be known: Ironsi did not partake in the coup he just got the wind of it as he too would have been killed..
When the Northerners staged a Counter Coup Igbo Officers were killed in hundreds including Ironsi The Northern Officers demanded that Gowon be made Head of State although he was not the most superior officer, a Yoruba Officer - Ogundipe was but the North rejected him and made Gowon Head of State.
After the Coup, Progroms were going on in Major cities in Nigeria, Northerner killed the Igbos and the Yoruba's jeered were the Igbos.. Ojukwu, the Military Governor of Eastern Nigeria alerted Gowon. Gowon promised an end to the Progroms but it did not stop it only got worse... Ojukwu, seeing that the safety of the Igbos could not be assured declared the state of Biafra.. The rest is history

One can clearly see that the wounds of days preceding the war and after the war are yet to be healed. That's why when I see tribes insulting each other I kind of feel sorry for them..
To understand the Nigeria 'story' better, read 'There Was A Country' by Chinua Achebe

Grundig:
obj is an attention seeking, lying and self servicing man. obj is the same person the president of Ghana called unprintable names sometime last year. other presidents agreed with his statement albeit silently. obj, needs to take a back seat. he has been ever present politician but one every Nigerian can and should do away with.

EdCure:
Obasanjo again!
Lying that he gave Ribadu free hand in EFCC?

This old man always wants to lay claim to a righteous past despite the existence of overwhelming contradictory evidence.

Here he is, bragging that his credibility has improved better than when he was in office. Why won't that be the case when Nigeria is filled with gullible masses (and leaders) with short memory?

100% Restructuring

Fremancipation:
What about the recommendations from the national conference that was trashed in the dustbin by Buhari?


What about the northern dominated senate and house of reps that have sworn that any restructuring will have to pass through them?

Those waiting on restructuring are delusional. They will never restructure Nigeria. Mark my words.

Godfullsam:
Ok
congratulations to Chief Adenuga.

Ayam gonner be the highest gainer this year 2017 no matter the economic situation and value of naira in Jesus name.

importexpert:
happy new year esteemed Nairalanders. this is Importexpert/Affiliate Jagaban praying that may this new year mark the fulfillment of your heart desires.


over the years, i have made several mistakes in online businesses especially affiliate marketing. One of the most profitable, legitimate and a longtime online business that you can indulge in in 2017 is affiliate marketing


For newbies that do not know what affiliate marketing is. The ideology of affiliate marketing is simple. Eg you sell a product, I get you buyers and you pay me commission for every single sale I brought to you. There are hundreds of millions of products to promote in the various affiliate market places and your target audience is the billions of people that uses internet daily.

Starting up as an affiliate marketer in Nigeria, below are some of the mistakes I made that I really want you to avoid.

1. Planning:

Before implementing any strategy in affiliate marketing, planning is very important. You need to have a clear picture of what you want to do. What I mean is that, if for example I want to promote a product, I will search for my target buyers and define a clear picture of the promotional method I will use for that audience. When I was a newbie in affiliate marketing, I only promote whatever appeals to me to whomever I can reach.

Remember the 6p formula. Proper prior planning prevents poor performance. The 90/10 rule says that, the 10% of the time you spend in planning saves 90% of the time and effort. Planning is critical to your success

2. Search Engines Are Enemies:

Search engines are some of the best things that have ever happened to the internet. They have made the internet a true global village. They provide valuable resources instantly and different solutions to a particular problem.

From my experience, they have a major shortcoming, for anybody that really wants to make money online, search engines are time wasters. They are very good in supplying crappy information that looks like Gold from the surface. It usually takes about a period of 2years before you know that you have been digging on craps. The end result is that you will start suffering from a popular online sickness called “information Overload”. The major symptoms of this sickness is that it will make you think you have known everything about a particular business but it can never realize into monetary value (I mean what you have been learning can’t make you money)

3. Squeeze Page is A Key

Starting up in affiliate marketing in Nigeria, i was sending traffic directly to affiliate offers. This strategy contradicts the internet marketing philosophy that says “the money is in the list”. To make real money in affiliate marketing, you need to build an email list of potential buyers.

By building a list, you already have an audience to market various products to. Remember the popular 20/80 rule: this rule states that, 20% of the customers makes 80% of the sale. Put in other words, 20% of the effort yields 80% of your result.

I simply mean that a certain percentage of your list will trust you and keeps buying the products you recommend to them.

4. Take Your Affiliate Marketing Business Serious:

When I started as an affiliate marketer, I felt I was too busy doing things that were paying less and thinks that I do not have 1-3 hours daily to do the affiliate marketing that was actually paying more. It is just like a young child telling you that he is too busy doing a 50k job and will not have 1-3hours to sacrifice for a 300k job.

You have to take your business serious and treat it like a business just like you will do to other offline businesses.

5. Traffic

Traffic is of different quality. 100 visits from high quality traffic site is better than 2000 visits from a low quality traffic site. You traffic should be both qualitative and highly targeted. My initial source of affiliate traffic was from file sharing directories. They have some of the cheapest traffic that do not convert. When I was a newbie, I calculated traffic by volume not quality. It is later on that I realized that the quality has a better impact on my bank account.

6. Review What You Are Promoting

your email list subscribers must be treated with love and respect. Only promote products that you are sure will add value to them. Starting as a newbie affiliate marketer, I promoted products based on how appealing the sales page is to me. Unfortunately, most of those products with better sales pages were craps.

Ask the vendor/publisher for a review copy of the product or search for reviews about the product on forums. Read people’s feedbacks and ask the vendor few questions to see if he will respond. If he responds within 24-48hours you are good to go. The reason why you need to ask the vendor a few question is to be sure when your customers have challenge he will attend to them.

7. You Need A Guardian/Mentor

The truth about affiliate marketing is that you need a successful insider to walk you through the inside. Without a mentor/guardian the inside is dark. The greatest mistake I made in affiliate marketing was starting without a mentor. I spent my first 2years in affiliate marketing with only 3 sales of sixty dollars to show for the 2years. I wanted to give up at a time because I felt I have learn everything about affiliate marketing and it is not paying. I never knew that if a strategy really makes much Money, they do not find their way to google and other search engines.

I started seeing significant difference in affiliate marketing when I decided to get coach, a coach that is making the type of commissions I want to make. Although I spent much for his course but I now make much more than what I spent in a single day.

Hold on to me if you really want to learn affiliate marketing in Nigeria and you will celebrate in 2017.

8. Think Globally

When starting up as an affiliate marketer, I had a Nigerian mentality. Anything that I felt as a Nigerian I will not buy, I use to think the rest of the world will also not buy. A typical example is that when I started as an affiliate marketer, I do not promote products on dog training and other related courses. But after a little more exposure to the global audience, I decided to give such courses a trial. The truth is that I have made some of my best affiliate commissions promoting dog training on dog training forums. my advice is to un-cap the Nigerian mentality and think globally.

Conclusion

These are some of the mistakes I made when I started as an affiliate marketer that I do not want you to make.
Their is no better time to start an online business than now, this is because if you are waiting for the right time you will end up never starting. remember the old popular adage that says "Goods tidings goes to the people who hustle while they await it". start your affiliate marketing business today.

Obama Vs Putin...I know for sure that America still remain world power because everybody want to go to America for transaction. And tap their experience unlike Russia where Racism is the other of the day...Spy Vs Spy...Technology Vs Technology....and also diplomacy Vs Diplomacy...America will win

woodcook:
Obama is butt hurt for two reasons: Hillary losing the election and Russia tactifully isolating the US from the peace talk in Syria (as it stands now Russia has a solid grip over the situation in Syria).

All Obama is doing now is to make life difficult for Trump. Obama could have focus on his handover and allow the incoming administrator to decide on how to carry on with a diplomatic relationship with Russia.
