Economic power. Many millionaires that are youth are harrased by SARS.

OLd men with flashy cars are allowed to play the road.

Presidential nominee ticket 25 million.

How many youth can afford this.

Instead of old men to sponsor youth or totally stay off politics, they want to rule themselves and making it harder for youth to climb the top.

Unless youth runite and evolt against the old and take power by force,,this is difficult to achieve

But, how can that happen when the youths are so lazy and ignorant? Look at this post, for example: if it was about an actress who showed her bare bum now, you would see many people interested in it.

Thank you bro. You no even send anybody, you just de discuss your own economic issues

I have a brother who works with a research company that is doing an independent study of the West African economic space. Yesterday, they had a Zoom lecture with some community youth leaders where the subject centered around unemployment in the subregion. He linked me up and it
was a big eye opener.

I think that every educated Nigerian youth should know something I learned there if we ever hope to be free from so many troubles pulling back our destinies in this country.

For example, the moderator said that they started a self-employment network because they discovered that "poverty is the major weapon that the corrupt political class is using to clamp down on the youths. It makes the youths to see themselves as natural underdogs compared to the old but corrupt political class".

One of the paper presenters compared our situation to other modern societies in a way that really touched me. Just read his exact words that made me very ashamed since yesterday:

In the US, China, India, or Europe, for example, although the political leaders may be old, most of the economic leaders are increasingly becoming youths with modern ideas. Compared to this, Africa's case is completely bad because both political and economic leadership are vested in the hands of the old cargoes who are not only out of touch with modern realities but are also out of touch with themselves for being so corrupt. With this crop of people occupying both the political and economic helms, there is no way things can change for good until the youths are able to take over the economy at least.

When I got to that part, the first thing that came to my mind was how our youths would be shouting "tuale" to old politicians as if the politicians are arch-Gods. With what is happening in Uganda now, I think this is really a shame for the Nigerian youths in particular.

I think that a 30-something-year-old can become Nigeria's President in 2023 if we can stop this attitude. After all, Buhari and Gowon them, weren't they in their 30s when they did same? One of the lectures even [color=gray]mentioned it.[/color]

A West Africa-focused market research company has created a system where anyone in West Africa can easily start earning money on Whatsapp. It was done to reduce the effect of unemployment in the subregion.

Known as MIND-MONEY-MAKER MEDITATION (or Mmmmeditation) network, it's a self-paying system based on Whatsapp. You basically learn how to think out money by following audio instructions (with an access to a life line. It's TOTALLY practical based - you use the instructions to start generating a steady flow of money into your local bank account - as much as N5700 daily. So, it is LWYE (LEARN While You EARN).

At this first stage, you start from where you are physically located. You get paid directly to your local bank account. It involves no recruiting. No waiting. No foreign currency complications. So, it's well-suited for West Africans who are mostly low-tech. All you need is to follow instructions to learn financial smartness in real-time and real-life circumstances.

Everything is placed under your control with the audioinstructions as your guide (and you can also connect to a live guide). You have no boss to report to. There is no web platform involved other than Whatsapp.

Well, instead of me telling you this, I advice you to get the first audio about it FOR FREE and see for yourself. Just send 'send audio' to Whatsapp on +234—902—0744—543 and you will get the audio in your WhatsApp.

NOTE*
I know that this sounds incredible. But mind you, it is incredible but VERY REAL. Very simple too. No website or online payment processor is required. It's just you and your brain working on your environment. Very good for you especially if you are unemployed because all it needs is your time and your smartphone and your bank account number. And there is just an investment of N1,900 (Nigeria), N3200 CFA (in CFA countries) or 35 Cedis (in Ghana) involved. Well, get the free audio and see.

You see: I don't want to be the one to tell you this. So, it's better for you to get the audio.

My brother's boss in the office is a market psychology expert and he created a new easy way for anyone to easily start earning money on Whatsapp to reduce the effect of unemployment in West Africa.

It's a self-paying subregional network. No recruiting. No waiting. No foreign currency complications.

Well, instead of me telling you this, I advice you to get an audio about it. Comment 'interested' and I will send you the link if you are interested.

This is REAL. Very good for you especially if you are unemployed because all it needs is your time and your smartphone and your bank account number.

Welcum:
Please, for those sending me DM asking for how to participate in this program, I learned that it's not public. They're trying to make the discussants feel safe. But if you want to join, you can drop your number and I will forward it.

OP, please, I want to join but I cant drop my number openly. Give us a way to send it to you. I hope there's nothing to pay for this.

One day around 3 o'clock, an Ijebu man named Ade, 50, returned home and found his 45-year-old wife with a younger man in his bedroom. As they were doing the thing, the woman was robbing the guy's head and was screaming, "I love you pass my husband; I love you pass that old man".

Then, Ade heard the boy saying, "me, 23 years, you 45 years but na you sweet pass all the girls wey I don bleep"."Don't mind", Ade's wife said, "that old man go soon die so that you go marry me". Then, Ade came in and saw his wife grinding on the boy's crotch while the boy was caressing her breasts. But, instead of attacking the young man or raising an alarm, Ade just kept quiet, went back to the sitting room, switched on the TV and started watching some gospel videos.

Ade's wife and her sugar boy were panicking.After some times, the sugar boy mustered up courage, dressed up and came into the sitting room. He immediately knelt down and begged, "sir,  i'm sorry for bleeping your wife". But Ade didn't talk. So, the boy managed to sneak through the door.

As for Ade's wife, she never came out from the bedroom till it was bedtime. So, Ade switched off the TV and went to sleep on the same bed where the action took place.  He found his wife sitting on the floor crying. But Ade never said anything or even asked her a single question. Instead, he just lay on his bed , covered himself and slept off.

In the morning upon waking up, Ade found his wife dead. She had committed suicide in the middle of the night as her husband was asleep. Then, the police arrested Ade. Although he told them the true story, Ade was eventually jailed for 25 years for murder.

Question___
Who was not fair?
1. Ade
2. His wife
3. The Law.

It's easy to think that everyone in Nigeria is out to take your money. I used to think so until recently. I ordered a copywriting course from a Nigerian seller and I got this email reply:

Honestly, I am beginning to think that these herders and their sponsors are using very powerful voodoo on Nigerians. They keep murdering people in cold blood, raping women (including old and pregnant women), destroying crops, and scaring farmers away from their farms. But everyone is afraid to say it when there should have been nationwide protests against it.

The UNO keeps mum about it. The mainstream media keeps misleading the public by calling the serial murders by Fulani herders by the name 'herder-farmers clash'. I have been asking to be shown where the clashes have been taking place but no one has shown me that. If not for social media, all of us would have been deceived into thinking that these are cases of crop farmers and herders clashing. Even during the #EndSARS protests, there weren't placards about it. Why?

Below is a September 2020 report from Nairametrics detailing the cause of the current food crisis being faced across Africa, showing that Nigeria is billed to be one of the worst-hit countries. Notice how this report carefully avoided mentioning Fulani herders as even contributors to this crisis when they are actually the MAJOR CAUSE OF IT by the way they destroy crops, thereby discouraging farmers from investing more.

The report from the FAO also shows that the Democratic Republic of Congo is emerging as the country with the world’s largest food crisis in terms of absolute numbers, with Burkina Faso listed as the country with the worst deteriorations in acute hunger in recent months.

The food crisis is made worse in Nigeria by the longstanding religious and ethnic conflicts and even organized crimes by some bandits, which has greatly affected farmers working on their farmlands. In addition to these, the farmers were already contending with the issue of flooding or drought, which has negatively been impacting on the agricultural sector in a period the country is desperate and very desirous of economic diversification. The coronavirus pandemic has triggered a surge in food prices as can be seen in the reports released by the National Bureau of Statistics (NBS), in a country that imports over 10% of its food supply.

With a population of over 200 million people, Nigeria is the most populous country in Africa, which is regarded as the world’s most food-insecure continent. This is made worse as importers of food items struggle to gain access to dollars for their imports due to scarcity of foreign exchange which is triggered by the crash of oil prices and low foreign inflow. This is expected to be exacerbated by the recent order by President Muhammadu Buhari to the Central Bank of Nigeria, to stop the allocation of foreign exchange to importers of food items.

The Governor of Niger State, Abubakar Sani Bello, warned in April, “We are heading toward famine and starvation.”The FAO report which states that Congo has about 21.8 million people that are acutely food insecure, also points out that Burkina Faso has witnessed an almost 300% uptick in the overall number of people experiencing acute hunger since the start of 2020

Below is a September 2020 report from Nairametrics detailing the cause of the current food crisis being faced across Africa, showing that Nigeria is billed to be one of the worst-hit countries. If you have the time, you can read the report. But what should concern us most right now is how we can save the situation.

If you want to help in reducing the effect of the food crisis and even make money from doing so, see this thread:

Meanwhile, WHY IS EVERYBODY AFRAID OF SAYING THAT FULANI HERDERS ARE THE MAJOR CAUSE OF THIS UNWARRANTED HUNGER THAT PEOPLE ARE PASSING THROUGH IN NIGERIA NOW? Notice how this report skimmed over that part.

The report from the FAO also shows that the Democratic Republic of Congo is emerging as the country with the world’s largest food crisis in terms of absolute numbers, with Burkina Faso listed as the country with the worst deteriorations in acute hunger in recent months.

The food crisis is made worse in Nigeria by the longstanding religious and ethnic conflicts and even organized crimes by some bandits, which has greatly affected farmers working on their farmlands.In addition to these, the farmers were already contending with the issue of flooding or drought, which has negatively been impacting on the agricultural sector in a period the country is desperate and very desirous of economic diversification.

Last night I heard gunshots in our estate and I thought it was one of the military generals residing here. Some of them usually release rounds of gunshot when they are around probably to scare criminals.

But I was wrong. This morning, the news started spreading. At first, I couldn't believe it when someone told me that a real estate contractor who shares a fence with us was shot by armed robbers and was rushed to a hospital. But, very soon, everyone was saying it. Just now, I heard that he has given up the ghost in the hospital. I just hope it's not true.

They said his wife reported what one of the armed robbers said. "Oga, do you remember me? I am that boy who worked for you at River Park Estate in 2017 that you said I was too stubborn, that you won't pay me because I was poor and yet proud. So, today, since you didn't want me to work, I'm now a thief and nothing can save you from my hands". According to the report, the guy spoke in clean English suggesting that he is probably a graduate or an intelligent high school leaver. It shows how many of us create criminals by the way we insult people for being poor.

Please, we should try to be fair with everyone in spite of our position. When we are fair, at least, God will fight for us when people try to hurt us unjustly. I'm not supporting people becoming criminals though.

Meanwhile, in case anyone here is interested, see this Nairaland thread: HOW TO HELP IN REDUCING HUNGER IN NIGERIA WHILE EARNING MILLIONS FROM DOING SO - NO NEED FOR A START-UP CAPITAL. Click here.

I'm honestly excited about this. This is not like anything else I've found on the web.

While many people have the wrong thinking that you have to apply for a job, go there every morning wearing a packet shirt, knotting a tie, and getting paid a paltry sum only once in a month, this is the exact formula for a lifetime of poverty. Nigerian youths should have outgrown this colonial mentality in 2020.

I have something for you that can SPEEDILY move you from ZERO TO HERO financially speaking. It can be in a matter of days and you don't even need to have any money to start. 

Surprisingly though, this opportunity isn't located in any tall building in Lagos, Abuja or any other big city. Instead, this opportunity is quietly waiting for you in your own village or any other village you're familiar with.
 
This is it: It's an easy way to turn any foodstuff your village people are known for into fat pays dropping off in your bank. A friend introduced me to this and I see it as a way out for many Nigerians in these hard times. So, I have decided to spread the word. Get details on this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/6245174/new-way-wealthy-foodstuff-supplier.

Thank you.

All for publicity stunt

I don't think so. If you've never experienced depression, you're likely to think that those who have are lying.

If you have some time to spare, there is a new opportunity you have to help people in getting foodstuff at cheaper prices while earning hugely from doing so. This is how it goes: the idea is based on the fact that every food item in Nigeria has its 'home' location. For instance, the 'home' of rice may be Ofada in Ogun State or Abakaliki in Ebonyi State (this could be wrong though) and the 'home' of yams may be Benue or Taraba State.

There are all sorts of food items such as yam, tomatoes, fish, crayfish, eggs, red oil, onion, ginger, garlic, millet, soya beans, etc, etc, etc. Which of these numerous food items has a 'home' in your state or part of the state? If you can answer this question correctly, then, you have found a big treasure trove that can start earning you millions of naira in a few months even if you don't have one naira as start-up capital. Again, you don't even need to touch the foodstuff yourself since you will only be acting as a middleman between buyers all over the country and sellers in your location. IF YOU ARE A FAR OR FOOD PRODUCER, THAT IS EVEN BETTER.

How can you be a part of this? There is a company that has a network of foodstuff customers all over the length and width of the country. All you need is to register with them for free. After that, whenever they have a customer who needs the foodstuff that you have access to, they connect you with the customer to transact directly with using online platforms like Whatsapp, Facebook, phone calls, and more.

The company is taking a lot of measures to prevent fraudsters from taking undue advantage of their system. So, they take the time to approve your registration. If you qualify, they subject you to a one-day online training on how it works. Then, they start sending businesses that match your entry to you.

You can click here now to apply. Thank you.

It is such a difficult time for many people now in Nigeria. All you need to feel it is to be on any street across the length and breadth of the country. So many people are going very hungry and many of them are clearly slipping into despair. But, do you have to despair at this time? No, you don't have to. Instead, these hard times can actually turn out to be one of your best ever. But just how could this happen?
 
What we call problems are actually opportunities waiting to be harvested by some people. So, while some people complain about the problems, others are busy harvesting the opportunities hiding in those problems. These 'heavens' and 'hells' are existing at the same times, places, and circumstances. Isn't it funny? 

A time of a bad economy is a time when there are too many problems. So, how to turn such a time to advantage is to get solutions to those many problems. Not only do you make money, you also feel extremely fulfilled to know you are a part of the solution. Think of someone paying you and also thanking you profusely and you know what it feels like to solve people's real problems even if you are selling the solution to them.

But, many times, the problem is that people do not know exactly how to go about harvesting the opportunities around them. So, I am going to be sharing a set of practical ideas on real opportunities that are available throughout the country that people can lay hold on and use them to turn the time of disadvantage to a time of advantages instead.

NOTE: Anyone who cares to be a part of this can follow this thread. If you are following, please comment 'following' so that I will know if anyone is listening at all. This way, I will know whether to continue or to do something better with my spare time. Please, DO NOT QUOTE to avoid covering the space. Also, if you use this space for advertizing, I will report it to the Admin

HallaDaTruth:
Imagine them Calling it their settlement. These Terrorists must be sent packing to hell. If no be soldiers wey dey back una. Herdsmen for no fit last 24hrs in Biafra Land. Things will soon change. E go shock all our haters. Something sweet is cooking.

Exactly.

It has been reported that Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association (MACBAN) in Ebonyi State are claiming that their members are being killed in their Ukwuachi forest settlement. However, what makes this a scary situation is that the Ezza, Izii, and Mgbo people who live around the Ukwuachi forest where the problem is developing are known to be an extremely war-like people who never ever give up when they feel that their rights are stepped on. Now, they have issued a tough response in a 7-point communique begging the Fulani to "start any trouble" and see how it goes. See the report and the response below:

The Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria has raised the alarm over incessant attacks on herders in Ebonyi State, alleging that 10 herders were killed between June and September 2020.

The South-East Zonal Chairman of MACBAN, Alhaji Gidado Siddiki, disclosed this while briefing journalists on the September 28 attack on a herders’ settlement in Ukwuachi Forest, Ishieke, in the Ebonyi Local Government Area of the state.

Siddiki said until recently, members of the association had enjoyed cordial relationships with their host communities in the state. He stated, “The Fulani people in the South-East are not violent and we are not here to undermine the business of the people of the area. However, we have experienced a lot of challenges in Ebonyi, including the death of our members. I am constrained to say this publicly. The government and security agencies have been doing their best to stop the attacks on our members and that is why we did not want to complain before now. If the situation has gone beyond what the security agencies in the state can contain, then we will be calling on the Federal Government for assistance so that it will not get out of hand.”

He said that it was worrisome that in spite of what the group’s members had suffered, some women were mobilized to protest against them.The Police Public Relations Officer in the state, DSP Loveth Odah, said some herders had been “at the receiving end of security threat.”
Odah said the Commissioner of Police, Mr Philip Maku, condemned the recent attack, which resulted in the death of two minors and ordered a manhunt for the perpetrators.“The police commissioner has ordered full scale investigation into the matter with a view to arresting the perpetrators who fled the scene after the incident,” she said.

Source: https://punchng.com/macban-alleges-attacks-on-herdsmen-in-ebonyi/?amp=1

And see the press statement released by a local group:

1. Why should the Fulani just enter any forest and settle there and insist that they have the right to settle there and no one (including the government) raises an eye-brow about it? Is this in accordance with the extant land laws in the country? Doesn't Ukwuachi Forest belong to some people? 

2. Why do the Fulani insist that right there in the forest where they are denying people of their right to their landed property, they themselves should have the full protection of the law? Do they not acknowledge the fact that where one person's right stops, another's starts? Why should they encroach on other people's rights so blatantly but expect no one to encroach on their own rights in any way? What else could be more unjust?

3. How come the Southeastern Leader of MACBAN said that the Fulani in the Southeastern Nigeria are peaceful whereas so many violent acts have been linked to them? Is this right? Right here in Ebonyi State, a Fulani herder was arrested by the Police in connection with raping to death of a Septuagenarian woman. But until this moment, no one knows the whereabouts of the abominably randy Fulani herder. It's such that most of us in the state suspect that the police only gave protection to the very abominable criminal under the guise of arresting him. This is in addition to Fulani killing hundreds of people in Izii, Mgbo, Enugu, etc. It is very provocative that none of these criminals has been brought to book. But it is even more provocative to hear someone who presides over the affairs of the criminals claim that they are peaceful. Ah, with all these atrocities linked to you, yet you are peaceful? 

4. Should the owners of Ukwuachi Forest allow the place to get infested with such murderers and abominable rapists who are obviously under the protection of the Government of the day? Should they allow more of their grandmothers to be raped by randy Fulani herders who would be sneeking out of their illegal hideouts from time to time without ever getting caught by the justice system? Should they allow Ukwuachi Forest to gradually become a semblance of Sambisa Forest? We are asking anyone who is listening and we require answers.

5. Why is it that, in spite of the Fulani's crass injustice against the people of Ebonyi State and South-East (as we have stated only briefly here), the police spokesperson Loveth Odah had the gut to say that the Fulani herders are the ones who have been "at the receiving end of security threat"? Are they really at the RECEIVING end or at the GIVING end of the security threat? Someone has to be mad here: Either Loveth Odah and her masters or we. Whoever it is, someone has to really be mad this time around. Or, do you expect mad people to behave like you? Certainly no.

6. Does anyone even realize the direct correlation between the activities of Fulani herdsmen and the food insecurity currently troubling the nation? Do you realize that many crop farmers are now scared away from their farms for the fear of getting killed by Fulani herders or of their labor getting wasted by their livestock? Do you see how Fulani herders have constituted themselves into a threat to everyone and yet they expect to be left alone? We are mainly crop farmers and Fulani herders are killing our children in their numbers by destroying our lives and livelihoods and desecrating the things we consider most holy in our cultures. 

7. So, we call on the Fulani to start any trouble in Ebonyi State. We promise to give everything to it since, no matter what we do, their threats keep coming. We have done everything to accommodate them in this state. But if what they want is war, we have who fights for us. David will meet Goliath again. Our history is punctuated with numerous challenges that we have overcome, and Fulani will be one of the least of them. Thank you.

Meanwhile, that line that says, "David will meet Goliath again" may have a lot of secret meaning attached to it. Apart from its allusion to a Bible story, it should be remembered that the current Governor of the state answers David.

NOTE: This is for serious business people only. It's on why and how to create ad copies that open people's wallets with the speed of lightning and it's 100% for free right here on Nairaland. But, if it's not for you, kindly stay away. 
           
**********************

We all seem to know that words are incredibly powerful when used rightly. So why is it that so many businesses in Nigeria are not taking their copywriting seriously?  A captivating piece of copy will always be the point of difference between a successful and an unsuccessful ad campaign. 
Do you know that there are always many people who need what you are selling (if it's worth selling anyway)? And, with the Web at your disposal, reaching these people is always a click away. But the question is "do you have the right word power to convince them that you can really solve their problems?" 

There lies the one secret that most unsuccessful businesses are missing. Their major problem is not the lack of more money as they think but, rather, lack of how to attract more money. It is a fact that you can have the best product but it will remain unsold (or poorly sold) until you are spreading the word rightly. But, with the right word, you can turn anything into money in your bank. 

Your word use must be punchy, personable, and wholly presentable for it to be powerful enough. Again, your word use must speak to the heart rather than the head of your market. It doesn't have to be verbose but it needs to be thoroughly relevant and context-based. 

According to Boost Media Agency, the only difference between someone purchasing a product or service or not often comes down to the quality of copywriting. Again, according to Quicksprout, "hiring a good copywriter is like hiring one skilled salesman to reach thousands of your prospective customers for you". 

A winning copy is something that’s not always easy to come by. However, if you are really serious about becoming successful in your business, it is something you need to work on. Luckily for you, I am here to teach you this absolutely free of charge. 

I first discovered copywriting after reading Beverly Apryl's book Shots Fired! How to Write Copy that Pierces Hearts. Since then, I have attended a number of very eye-opening courses on the subject both in the US and Nigeria. While earning my living solely from writing, I have also worked on Nigerianizing all that I learned.

 So, I have decided to use this thread to share all I know about copywriting with Nigerian business people. I will be publishing every day until the end. But sometimes, I may miss a day or two if my schedule gets too tight. Thanks.
