I have tried doing that, but sincerely I can't figure out where they are coming in from. I heard there is this pepper called "black pepper", have you heard of it before? I was told it chases rats away. please do let me know if u are aware of it. thanks my friend.

Sorry friend, I'm not aware of that. The hole sealing works well. Make sure to use cement cover underneath doors and make them lap well. It worked in my flat... Celebrating it for years now

Thanks so much op for this write up, have sincerely learnt something new but I need your advice on how to deal with rats in my apartment . They keep coming in after killing them one after the other and am tired of buying this chemical with an expensive rat killer. Honestly, I will be so relieve if you can help me with a permanent solution to this rat problem and most importantly, the soak away at the back of my house is also a major problem as it has so many holes around it and my landlady seems not to have the money to repair it, only waiting for a new tenant fee before she could start work on it. please I urgently need your advice on her to chase these rats permanently from my abode, cos they are really scaring me, thanks in anticipation of your response.

The solution to rats are: seal all the holes in your home. Make sure your door is always closed or at least use a net to keep it closed. Rats will die and go into extinction naturally if they have no way to leave and new ones will never come in.

And they will just start borrowing by middle of the month

For those who doubt Mikel's skills, take a look

John Mikel Obi dribbles 3 Aston Villa players and he made it look so easy. His moves actually resulted in a first goal. Chelsea won the away match at Aston Villa. Mikel's moves made him trend on Twitter for the rest of the match. Watch the video


Goal Ruben Loftus-Cheek
GOOOOOOAAAAAAALLLLLLLL!!! That’s so easy for Chelsea! Mikel does well to work his way past three Villa midfielders with a nifty bit of footwork, before sliding the ball out to Pedro, who in turn winds it out to Azpilicueta. The former Marseille man drills in a low cross, and Loftus-Cheek is duly on hand to slot home - with the help of a deflection off Lescott.

How can we confirm this

This is true and news to Enugu residents because they used to buy a sachet for N5 and a bag for N55 to N70 .... This is because Fr Mbaka's Aqua Rapha has been stabilizing the price.

From an economic point of view, there are no benefit at all.
But From a propaganda point of view, the benefits are msny.
Firstly, you can always thump your chest that you saved such and such, which, on critical analysis, is a lie.

First of all , taking out 2trillion naira from the banking sector in one swoop is economic stupidity. Banks , and by extension, the economy needs that float ,both as a reserve cushion , as well as a steady lubricant for the creation and expansion of credit, the engine for economic activities and growth.

By taking such monies from banks, where they earned interests for the government, and fees for the banks, the clueless government did the equivalent of turning off the switch in a very busy factory.

In this computer age, harmonizing and monitoring disparate accounts is something that a even an amateur computer science student like kingebukasblog can easily write an algorithm for.

It's not rocket science.

On point bro. My problem is not about GEJ or Buhari but an economic policy that will keep businesses in business.

Stop waiting for oil prices to rise, forget about oil and empower the industries to export. I'm already exporting services but Nigeria needs to create a good incubating environment for startups

adamspee:
can you just register at bitgold.com and make a deposit of $0.1 to confirm for yourself, even before i did my my transaction i contacted them through twitter and they told me N280/$

I don't even get alerts from Stanbic. Dunno if I offended them or what. My account is new with them and for the 2 transactions I've done online, no alert. But they send credit alert. Why not debit. So the issue of rates is a strange thing to me now

This is not between wailing wailers and lying lairs, it is a matter of government's ability to keep running. Without a budget, we will witness a very first Government Shutdown.... It happened in the US sometime ago. Dunno how it works here

Content remains king as a blogger, but to get SEO, content may not always be king. You can rank high through many other techniques. But as per value of a website/blog, content is king.

2. Content is king
So many people go into blogging not knowing what is required of them. As a blogger, you are to create content. What is content then? Content can be anything. It can be an article, it can be a story – a fictional one for that matter, it can be a piece of advice, it can be a picture, and it can be a video.
Content is endless. Even a tweet can end up becoming the content. If you noticed, some authors of the blogs you read can just screen grab or screen capture a tweet, a Facebook post and write about it.
You may be walking on the road and witness an event, take a photo and write about that. A video can also be shot of events and uploaded to become part of the content.
Content is not date of post, author, number of readers/page views etc. Content is usually made up of two things: A title and the content body. The body can be just a picture, write-up, a video or a combination.
One thing to take note of is that your content must always blend to your niche. Write about things your readers care about because they are in your blog because of the niche you have chosen.
To build a good followership, you must post content that blend to the theme and niche.

3. Traffic is queen
Traffic is queen is not an exaggeration. In fact, Traffic should have been the king, but a blog is nothing without the content. Equally, a blog with content is nothing without traffic. The two are at the same level and mutually exclusive. Traffic and content make a good blog.
What is traffic? Traffic in the usual old term in terms of automobile is like the movement of vehicles on a road in a certain area. Think of that area as your blog or website. Then think of the vehicles as people browsing or surfing the internet. This gives us a simple straight-forward definition of traffic.
Traffic is the number of visitors on a certain website, and in our case blog, usually within a specific duration. Yes time matters in traffic. Someone got 1,000,000 visitors to a blog and just broke the news, but before I could scream it was followed up with – in the entire lifetime of the blog. A blog can get up to 100 visitors in a day, another up to 5000 in a day, another up to 50,000 in a day, but that’s not all that matters.
Traffic is also a measure of page views. A visitor can navigate across multiple pages in a blog while another will leave after consuming the content of a page. That’s where the term bounce rate comes in. A blog with lower bounce rate and fewer visitors could prove to be better than a blog with huge visitors and an extreme bounce rate, sometimes.
A blog with 500 visitors a day and lower bounce rate could end up having 2000 page views that same day while another with 900 visitors a day with higher bounce rate could end up seeing just 1000 page views.
We will look at how to keep visitors later on.

4. Traffic does not come from no where
Yes, several people believe that people will just find their website automatically as soon as they start publishing great content, without realizing that great content is not enough to be a blogger. Every blogger must be a great marketer too, unless your job is to create content or write or journalist.
A Journalist may not need to do anything more other than create content, but a blogger must drive traffic to the content created.
There are many sources that traffic could come from, and most of them require that money must be spent. This is the headache of most new bloggers. Newbie bloggers want to make money, but wouldn’t want to spend. That’s why you find many enjoying blogger and still using ..com domain. Not that they don’t have money for a domain name – many want to make sure they can make money first before they risk spending on a domain name.
And is that the kind of person you will talk to about driving traffic? Traffic does not come from nowhere, even when it is direct. Direct traffic is when someone types in your blog address in a browser and lands on your website.
Before someone other than you or the creator would do that, you must have made an effort to send the person your blog address through some sort of advertising or promotion or awareness creation.
Another source of traffic is referral, which could come from social media or other websites. But the best source of traffic is the search engine, which one can refer to as organic, in the sense that they are natural, based on the content you have on your website. We will look at all these later.

6. Website must be responsive
One of the major issues with blogger currently (as at the time of writing this) is that their templates are not responsive. When we talk about responsiveness, we refer to the ability of a website to respond to various device widths.
Many devices vary in width, and a website must adapt to those different screen widths for the best user experience. Wordpress has an edge over Blogger because of this responsiveness. Most Wordpress themes are responsive.
Why did I have to include this? Majority of the people visiting your blog are going to do so from a mobile device, and those mobile device will vary in screen width. If your blog does not respond to those variations, you are going to lose out because bad user experience may force your visitors to run away, even without reading at all.
Google has a GoMo tool that can help analyze the way your website responds to mobile devices. Google will also rank websites that have mobile versions higher when searched from a mobile device.
If you are not sure of this, contact the person who designed your blog and make sure your blog does well on mobile devices.
 
7. Sharing must be made easy
We are in a world where viral stuff become internet sensations. How do you think stuff go viral? It is by activities of others who share them. Your content can never be shared if you don’t make sharing easy. Upworthy and Nova are good examples of sharing made easy blogs!
Never ignore any platform. Integrating sharing tools such as Addthis.com will make sure your users can share your content to any social media platform they use. Addthis has lots of other features you might end up enjoying. They will even let you know when any of your content is receiving a traffic spike!
Include sharing buttons close to the end of content – that’s the ideal place to remind visitors to share.
Craft certain phrases that would make your visitors want to share. Examples are: Sharing is sexy! Sharing is Free! Don’t be stingy, share! Nothing as noble as sharing! If you enjoyed this, your friends on Facebook may need it! Please share this to help others!
You should come up with better pleas to make them share!
Sharing buttons can even be made to pop up. But don’t overdo this.

Ymodulus:
If you are too open an account with a bank today which would you go for?

Please exclude the following:

- GtBank
- Eco Bank
- Stanbic
- UBA
- Access

Thanks

I have a Stanbic Mastercard, and it's new. In case you still in biz, pls PM me. I don't use up to the limit even in a month.

This thread is losing direction though. Please, send a relative or friend who lives close to someone you will deal with when you cannot confirm how authentic the person is. I transacted a deal with pretts recently and she is real. Remember to add us to the list of trusted dealers.

Also, I just got my Stanbic card today, funded it and performed a transaction on Facebook Ads. I hope it was charged at N260/USD cos I haven't seen an alert after an hour.

For current rates, last time I tried Fidelity (295/USD) and GTbank (284/USD) on Tuesday
