BusinessHow To Make Money As A Ghostwriter by dexyking(op): 10:56pm On Apr 13, 2019
Ghostwriting is basically a phenomenon in which a writer is contracted to work on a writing project which they do not take the credit for.

Sometimes, a ghostwriter absolutely handles a writing project alone.

Other times, they write alongside the person that gets credited for the writing project.

Well, irrespective of how the writing project is carried out, a ghostwriter never gets credited as the author of a book.

The major aim of a ghost writer is to express the feelings of their clients in the right words.

There are various types of ghostwriting.

Some are very well known, others are not. Some of the most popular types of ghostwriting include:

Books proposal
Lifestyle books
Business books
Speeches
Social media posts
Blog posts
What is Ghostwriting? Difference between Ghost Writing and Co-Authoring?
Ghostwriting differs from co-authoring because a co-author unlike a ghost-writer gets good credit for some of the work done.

In as much as getting the credit for work done is one of the major differences between ghostwriting and co-authoring, there are other significant differences.

As a ghostwriter, you simply write to follow instruction, you have no say in the direction the book being written takes.

Well, unlike a ghost-writer, a co-author has

BusinessEurope Is Sending African Migrants Home. Will They Stay? – THE ECONOMIST by dexyking(op): 8:51am On Mar 30, 2018
ONCE considered the smartest hangout in town, the Benin Plaza motel in southern Nigeria’s Benin City has seen better days. Its chalet-style rooms are normally empty, and the Moat Bar, which promises “groovy nights and exotic cocktails”, has fallen into disrepair.

For the Plaza’s recent influx of guests, though, the motel is the first comfortable night they have had in rather a long time. Requisitioned by the government for migrants repatriated from Libya, it offers new arrivals free accommodation for a few days while they find their feet.

The repatriation programme is part of a joint UN and EU effort to stem the flow of migrants to Europe. It encourages those who have made it to Libya to go home voluntarily, rather than risk a rickety boat across the Mediterranean. People who turn back get a free flight—cutting out the need for a perilous return journey across the Sahara.

The programme, launched in December 2016, repatriated some 15,000 migrants to various west African countries in its first year. Most of them were in squalid Libyan detention centres or destitute on the streets of Tripoli. This barely scratches the surface. The International Organisation for Migration (IOM), part of the UN, has registered more than 400,000 migrants in Libya, but it reckons there are between 700,000 and 1m of them in the country.

Read now FMDQ February turnover rises to N12.56trn


Nigeria’s repatriation scheme did not start until late last year. But it proved timely. In November video emerged showing Nigerian and other African migrants being sold for the equivalent of $400 each in what appeared to be Libyan slave markets. The chilling footage, and interviews with rescued migrants, spelled out some of the risks of the crossing far better than any government-run campaign could. About 3,000 Nigerians have been brought home and another 15,000 are expected by June, says Solomon Okoduwa, an adviser to Godwin Obaseki, the governor of Edo state, of which Benin City is the capital.

Those who return are given 100,000 naira ($278) to tide them over for the first three months, and training on how to start their own businesses. Options include fashion design, hairdressing and farming on land set aside by the state.

The Nigerian leg of this programme is funded by Edo state, but Nigeria is one of 14 African countries sharing a €140m reintegration package from the EU’s Emergency Trust Fund for Africa. This €3.2bn pot, set up in 2015, gives African states money and help in resettling migrants returning from Europe and Libya in exchange for trying to stop illegal migration at its source. A study released earlier in March by Pew, a think-tank, estimated that at least 1m sub-Saharan Africans moved to Europe between 2010 and 2017.

Many of them are Nigerian. Of those flown home from Libya by the IOM, the great majority are from Edo, says Mr Okoduwa. The state has a long tradition of migration, much of it by illegal means. In the late 1980s local women who went to Italy as tomato-pickers found they could earn more as prostitutes.<<<read more>>>>http://forexpot.com/europe-is-sending-african-migrants-home-will-they-stay
HealthIf You Have Not Been Eating Guava Start Eating It Now by dexyking(op): 9:36am On Nov 15, 2017
Guava is a very common type of fruit but it is often neglected because of its hardness & presence of seeds.

There are several health benefits that come from eating guava.

Guavas are available in various varieties such as the Strawberry, Chinese, Apple, Lemon, and Mountain Guava.

They are available all the year round in tropical regions.

Guavas which have red skin such as Thai maroon skin are more nutritious than Green Apple guavas.

When it gets ripe, the skin of the guava turns from green to yellow, their flesh softens and they begin to develop a fragrant fruity aroma.

InvestmentCBN Order Banks To Provide Foreign Currency Loans by dexyking(op): 7:30am On Jul 28, 2016
Obinna Chima

The Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) wednesday directed commercial banks to review and make adequate provisioning for all delinquent foreign currency-denominated loans in line with the July 1, 2010 Prudential Guidelines for Deposit Money Banks in Nigeria.

The CBN, which also settled futures contract valued at N962.23 million, said in a letter by its Director, Banking Supervision, Mrs. Tokunbo Martins, titled: “Provisioning for Foreign Currency Loans,” dated July 27, posted on the bank’s website, that the move was in continuation of the efforts to enhance efficiency, facilitate liquidity and transparency in the foreign exchange market.


Rationalising why it had become necessary to ensure adequate and proper provisioning, the central bank directed banks to ensure that the un-provisioned portion of all foreign currency-denominated loans and advances in their books are fully provided for immediately in their income statements.

The letter read in part: “One of the effects of the Guidelines, which liberalised the foreign exchange market, is the increase in balances on foreign currency-denominated loans and advances in the books of banks, especially facilities that had been fully provided for under the previous exchange rate regime, but were yet to be written off, per our extant regulation under Section 3.21(a) of the Prudential Guidelines for Deposit Money...<<<read more by clicking the link below>>>

BusinessCBN Hikes Interest Rate To Strengthens The NAIRA by dexyking(op): 9:01am On Jul 27, 2016
CBN Moves to Tame Inflation, Ups Interest Rate to 14 Per Cent

In a strong bid to tame inflation, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) on Tuesday raised the Monetary Policy Rate (MPR), otherwise known as interest rate, by 200 basis points to 14 percent from 12 percent.

It also assured Nigerians of the stability of the banking sector, saying whilst it was poised to deal ruthlessly with any misdemeanour and malpractice, the recent removal of some banks chiefs was not a sign of distress.

The apex bank spoke at the end of its two-day Monetary Policy Committee meeting in Abuja, indicating that while it moved up the interest rate, it left Cash Reserve Ratio (CRR) and Liquidity Ratio (LR) unchanged at 22.50 per cent and 30 per cent respectively as well as retained the Asymmetric Window at +200 and -500 basis points around the MPR.

The MPR is the rate at which the apex bank lend to commercial banks and usually determines the cost of funds in the banking system.
Addressing journalists at the end of the meeting, the CBN Governor, Godwin Emefiele, said five members voted to raise the MPR while three others voted to retain the rate at 12 percent.

The hike in interest rate came on the day the Naira hit N310.07 to the US Dollar even as the World Bank raised some hope of a brighter year, raising its oil price forecast for 2016 to $43 per barrel.

The governor, who admitted the difficulty among members in arriving at a decision over the MPR said it eventually settled for a hike given that the apex bank “lacked the instruments required to directly jumpstart growth, and being mindful not to calibrate its instruments in such a manner as to undermine its primary mandate and financial system stability, in assessment of the relevant issues.”

He added that currently the balance of risks remained tilted against price stability.
Emefiele further explained that the committee had considered the high inflationary trend which has culminated into negative real interest rates in the economy, a condition which according to him discouraged savings.

He added that the negative real interest rates did not support the recent flexible foreign exchange market as foreign investors attitude had remained lukewarm, showing unwillingness in bringing in new capital under the circumstances.

Notwithstanding the hike in MPR, the CBN Governor said the bank would continue to make targeted interventions in agriculture, mineral resources and new manufacturing, adding that it was committed to boost the economy through the Anchor-Borrower programme which has recorded significant success in local rice and wheat production.

The governor noted that the weak macroeconomic environment, as reflected particularly in increasing inflationary pressure...<<<read more by clicking the link below>>>http://www.forexpot.com/cbn/cbn-hike-interest-rate/
