From experience, it's not about niche (except for those involved in affiliate marketing, which man Nigerian can NOT do due to poor writing and persuasive skills).

It is mostly laziness and wishful thinking that makes them waste time. Most youth who wants to venture into blogging professionally don't even publish one blog a week when mainwhile their competition are pushing 60 a day. They would be wasting their time on template when content is king.

All Nigerian website host are useless. That is why I just redirect my domain name to a blog. YOU WOULD LOSE TRAFFIC TO SLOW SERVER.

This is a welcomed development. I hope they have a "lite" version.

In this YouTube drawing video, I attempted to sketch an image of a rose flower using a blue inked ballpoint pen. It is speed time-lapse videos showing the creation of the drawing (step by step).

Unfortunately people like you would hear only what you want to hear. When did I say he doesn't have "right to associate" you failed at being sarcastic. On the contrary, you say I don't have right to comment on a news story

Mind your own business and quit hating on other people..

I wonder who is gave you the authority to give me orders? Are you basketmouth, his gay lover or some kind of social media moderator? My comments was directed not to you. Writing to me bold letters (insinuating yelling at me). Boy you are out of your freekin mind.

deomelo:
The fact that he was critical of the government doesn't mean he can not support the same government based on other factors that you know nothing about.

The secret reason is obviously money. Let's call a spade spade.


Anyway, I don't have your time. Let me return to hustling for my own.

deomelo:
There's something in the Nigerioan constitution called freedom of association, something many of you ipobs know nothing about. I though you ipobs are lovers and defenders of democracy..

The last time i checked I wasn't a member of Ipob. So I assume you are either a terrorist a slave to one... based on what I remembered of his jokes back in the days when we had freedom of speech, he use to be very critical of government that has out performed this present regime, so I find it a little bit hypocritical that he is advocating the return of this clueless government (he is not just saying they should return but he active, on the fu5king streets).

AnanseK:
They love criminals over there:

That person was removed from office because Baba doesn't trust Tinubu and need cash for election. Her so called 'resignation' was not her chose.

Buhari fu8ked up by allowing his deputy to appoint him in the first place. Then he fu5ked up the second time by not giving him the same treatment he gave Badeh Alex. Didn't he learn from the 'Senate President stunt' that you can NOT use law to unseat powerful men?

My nigga you are on the wrong side of history because of how much?

Sellout

since you have been in the game for 2 years, who your stuff.

It is democracy and majority wins the vote. The majority are uneducated sheeps so we are at the mercy of their chose. Before Buhari entered Aso Rock, he challenged the results of every election that he lost until it was time for another election... this is no Jonathan, "he no go gree leave aso rock, simple! If you like vote or no vote".

fykes:
Is this not an execution?
2nd picture.... Smh

Confirm execution (bullet to the head). I just hope they are not innocent but if they are guilty then am glad (otherwise our politician would work for their freedom).

SaturnNick:
Haba bros, fear God na. Less than 1% kee u dia!

Na mafia dey run that thing o... People use to even die over unfulfilled bets (we talking about the things that happens 'under the table'). Don King and the rest are just public figure yet he still cheat the fighters, the underground bet are far bigger.

Here is a photograph of the 'finished' work. I have been too busy to take a better picture (with sun light).

This is an illustration showing the titled head of an African youth. As usual, it was drawn on the pages of an old textbook. It is the first drawing I made this year, dated on the 4th January 2019.

Here is a video of the work in progress.

broadcasting!! make lots of money from it

mostly through betting (gambling) and tickets sales. The fighters earn less than 1% of the money made (underground) by the promoters.

This sketch is almost 4 years old, it was made with blue inked ballpoint pen. At the time I made it, it seems like a decent work but 4 years later, I look at it can see all the many ways I could have done better (even though I have been “out of practice” for all these years).

Unfortunately I wasn’t into video-making back then so I don’t have a video of the drawing being made. However, there are many other live video of the work in progress.

This is a collage art that is made from different pieces of newspaper assembled together to form the greater picture.

The above picture depicts (a digital collage of) the different stages of the highly publicised newspaper collage from the year 2017.

That is life o. That one has gone.

This is a ballpoint pen drawing, made on the pages of a textbook. I drew it two months ago (back in October 2018) and filmed myself while I sketch. Below is a speed drawing of the work being made, but there are 6 different videos showing me drawing in real-life speed (6 different stages of the formation of this portrait) on my YouTube Channel.

If everyone can act like this guest, home-training would return to this country.

If he wasn't a bastard, he would go to his FATHER but I guess he doesn't know who is father is.

It’s no secret that the engagement on Instagram is dropping as the days goes bye. When you post a picture with all the hashtag, profile-tags and Geo-Location, you still get a small fraction of what you use to get some 3 or 4 years ago. That means the likes (hearts), comment, and share on new post are not encouraging when compared to the results from a few years ago. This is partly because of the acquisition of Instagram by Facebook (who has been slowly implimenting new policies that would boost their profit)

Next year (2019); Instagram is going to be ‘pay to play’ platform. What that means is; for you to get seen, you would have to pay for advertisement. Even if you have a huge following, your content is currently been shown only to about 5% of your followers (this is partly why most expert on Instagram-Marketing would advise you to make an average of 3 post a day, posted at different times of the day to reach 10% of your own followers). Unfortunately, producing this volume of content is not sustainable even for a full-time social media marketers.

As they say, nothing is really free. Especially for those of us with a Business profile (and not a personal profile). If you decide to use their ads services, please make sure you have written down strategies on converting viewers into clients (ROI: Return On Investment) or you would waste your money.


SOLUTION:

1) Post More: If you can post more often and space out the period between each post, go for it!
2) Use All Their Features: Instagram rewards those who use all their features like hashtags, Geo-Location, tagging NOT JUST ON POST BUT ALSO ON STORY
3) Call for Action: Remember to always ask you audience to ‘double tap’, comment and share. You don’t just ask them directly, you could ask a question or ask for their opinions. Give them a reason to share. You could also do a giveaway where the entry qualification is dependent on how active someone is on your profile.
4) Quality Content: I hope you have heard of the phrase “content is king”? Take great pictures and videos. Instagram is moving more towards video but your video has to be clear and stable (nothing too perfect but DON'T be sloppy).

Please share your tips and thoughts if you have one.
