Olawrites:


Go sit down, you've been writing for that long and you can't pay. You guys don't appreciate creatives and yet you can't do it yourself.

Appreciate and encourage these young writers

I pay my writers at least #5 depending on the kind of copy

God bless you.

The last client who hired my service paid ₦10/word. That was the first time any Nairaland outsourcer would pay so high. We don't normally come to term due to their poor pay.

Is it academic?

Outsourcers, get in here...

I wonder why anyone will be paying a ridiculous amount as low as ₦2 or ₦3 per word, and be expecting a top notch job.

Some of you get jobs as high as ₦20/word, and come here to enslave others. Then come back to cry foul about how Nairaland writers are shîtty. No, we're not. You get what you pay for.

While I know that getting gigs from international clients ain't a walk in the park, I'll never outsource at such ridiculous percentage.

If you want quality deliveries, that you won't need to start correcting over again, plagiarism-free, non-fluffy, then you have to pay well.

I'm that quality content writer you need. Check the signature for my contact.

Thanks.

jasonclement:
Are you a writer?

And so what?

Pls go write yourself and pay yourself ₦2.5/word.

writers100:
You have spoken well, dear sis.

But if you've been doing this long enough (I started online writing full-time in 2009) - you'll know that what works for established providers may not apply to newbie providers.

Clients distrust writers more than writers distrust them.

However, I think you expressed the sentiment that many new writers have. And it's okay.

I wish a time would come when Nigerians would be absolutely faithful and transparent so that misplaced fear would be non-existent. But we're getting there sha.

That's a million!

You've been at writing since 2009, and you still hire and pay such amount? It's either you've not grown well, or you just love to get all the money while others do the job. ₦3/word is poor pay.

I'm sorry, the pay is way too low

On Sunday, I decided to visit First Bank after ignoring anything that has had to do with banks or ATMs since January.

They had messaged us that we would be able to withdraw our hard-earned money that day. And testimonies abound that they paid ₦50000 the previous day.

Normally, if you're serious about getting cash from any bank, you should have been there at midnight or early in the morning. But lazy me woke up around 8 AM.

I arrived at the bank at past 9, bank was going to open by 10 anyways. When I got there, I picked number 132. I hoped the whole process would be seamless.

There, some people already spoke about how we won't use numbers. That the woman who coordinated the numbering the previous day even entered the bank around 1 PM. I just hoped for the best and stayed alert.

At 10, they started letting people into the banking hall. Some POS operators who had entered the compound through entrances we don't know of just went into the hall.

The guy who coordinated the number was trying to get people orderly through one of the gates. Then security personnel deceived those standing at another gate to go to the main gate. Unknown to them that he wanted to open that gate for someone. Immediately I knew what he wanted to do I stood on alert and rushed toward the gate, gaining entrance into the bank alongside some 10+ people.

I ran into the banking hall and I was number 5 on my queue.

By the time the man coordinating number found his way into the hall (he later found out that coordinating people is a Herculean task and left it), it was filled up. He had to beg and I pleaded with some others that we should allow him to stay before me. Him self don try.

That was how I got ₦50000 without spending one hour sef. A whole 50 buhary tousan naira.

What God cannot do does not exist. Miracle no dey tire Yeshua.

I hope this imagination happens when I go to the bank.

Oluwapelumi Awotedu

I watched Bashorun Gaa around 2010. It's one of the best epic Yoruba Nollywood has been able to produce.

"Ọyọ kọ, Ọyọ kọ Majẹogbe l'ọba..." Ọyọ rejects Majẹogbe as king, Bashọrun Gaa and the chiefs chanted as they took King Majẹogbe to where he would be executed.

After he was killed, the next day, Gaa assembled the people and told them the reason why Majẹogbe was dethroned and executed. The king had killed his father-in-law because his queen joked about his small body.

After that, Ọyọ needed another king. No one wanted to be king because Gaa had executed many kings who didn't please him. Gaa was the true power.

After a while, they settled for Abiọdun Adegolu to be king. When it was initially told to him, he ran away. He was later caught and enthroned.

Abiọdun became king but he feared he was next to be killed at the slightest mistake. One of his aides advised him to always go to pay homage to Gaa every day, that way he would last as king. He heeded.

Every time, he would go to Gaa's palace along with his chiefs to pay homage to Gaa. Gaa became partly incapacitated. He warned his boys against their vices. Also, he would give gifts to King Abiọdun. Soon, Gaa was getting bankrupt... Abiọdun even promised to give Agbọin, his daughter to Gaa as his wife.

Regardless of how Abiọdun tried to please Gaa, Gaa's boys kept up their vices and were immune.

When Gaa finally got bankrupt, he resorted to a money ritual. His herbalist said they needed agbọrin (deer) for the ritual. Unfortunately, Agbọin the king's daughter came around (because she always hawked kola nut), Gaa was playing with her, calling her my wife, and she responded, "Agbọin is my name." We've seen the ritual animal, Gaa called his herbalist. His herbalist hesitated but used her.

Gaa's palace got burnt in the process of the ritual. The king and the kingdom of Ọyọ all brought gifts for repairing Gaa's palace. Thus, his financial fortune was resuscitated. But the king's daughter was gone.

The king, in agony, went to meet the Aarẹ Ona Kankanfo (the army general of Yoruba land) to come to his rescue. The Aarẹ organized the army and moved against the house of Gaa...

In line with revenge, Agbọin's finance moved against Gaa, he was able to hit Gaa with a charmed belt (bantẹ) before a guard overpowered and killed him. Gaa didn't die but he became lame.

By the time the Aarẹ got to Gaa's place, his army killed all of Gaa's household and arrested Gaa alive...

Gaa was taken to the market square, Aarẹ advised that Gaa shouldn't be killed at once but anyone and everyone could come to get a piece of his body till he dies. The act was to serve as a deterrent to anyone who thinks they're invincible and utterly wicked.

The End.

ClixMaster:
I have been trying to understand why someone will claim to be a good writer and charges high rate per word, yet does not have a successful blog.

There are highly successful managers who are very well paid. They don't rush to start their businesses just because they're good managers.

They understand that everyone have their place.

My brother the pay is not the issue because i do most time adjust review payment thinking that they will help give good articles.

The time i use to verify if the article are not spun/spine i will use it to produce two content of 1000 words each.

Because they will spin it so you hardly know that its spun. Unless u calm down , try getting the page where they copied content from and check it paragraph by paragraph before u can spot it.

I will write you a 1000 word article for free. You'll then decide if there are still worthy writers on this platform or not.

Reach me on 08067541098

Hire me if you can pay my fee. ₦10/word, non-negotiable.

I finished the series, "Squid Game" yesterday.

And the whole highpoint of the fatal game resonate one idea I've read about from Oscar Wilde.

He says, "In this world, there are only two tragedies: one is not getting what one wants, and the other is getting it."

You see, the 'middle classes' don't know how much blessed they are. I think they're the ones really enjoying life. They can't afford/get most things or everything they want. But they work hard to do this. It makes life meaningful. It gives it some fun.

The fear. The faith. The work. The hope. The failure. The success.

But you see the lowest and highest classes, these classes are frustrating and boring respectively. No fun.

Imagine those who live in slums and trenches of low cost environs. Yet they can't even afford the cost of life in those places. The frustration is killing. Being trampled by every wave of circumstance. Failure upon failure.

Now imagine our elites... Tinubu for example, can afford to buy everything in a city like Abeokuta. Like, what does he wake up to look up to? Food? Sex? Money? Power? Which doesn't he have? It's boring when we have everything we want too.

Even Adekunle Gold that is just enjoying small elite life has exclaimed, "money no dey give happiness o, na wen I get money I realize this."

So what do the elites do to have fun and escape life's boredom? The same thing the Atikus, Tinubus, Dangotes, and their likes do: they strive for more. More power, money, fame. Like waking up to look forward to being more powerful. Going up in the Forbe list of yada yada. Et cetera, et cetera.

Others become philanthropists and humanitarians. Like Obasanjo has been doing a bit of that for years now.

And some crazy ones start squid game...

I started writing officially in 2020.

First, I joined Opera News content creators in February, 2020. I wrote lots of articles and news for the reputable news platform.

Later, in the same 2020, I joined the league of satirical writers of DanfoExpress (now DanfoNation), a comic blog.

In 2021, I upscaled to several other dimensions.

I wrote for over 10 blogs on contract. Writing not less than 100 articles in the year, 2021. I wrote on entrepreneurship, traveling, mathematics, scholarship, and several other themes (you can request samples of these articles).

I wrote over 7 e-books. Theme on leadership, diet (ketogenic diet), online business, massive online open course (MOOC), biography (Adele), and several others.

I handled assignments for online students. I helped about 3 international students with their assignments at different times. And they came out in flying colors.

I write basically on anything and everything. And one more thing: I'm a great narrator. You can check my stories on Facebook - Oluwapelumi Awotedu.

Thanks.

You can reach me through my contact in my signature. I'll be expecting you.

Writing general blog articles tend to be one of the simplest forms of writing. But it's unfortunate that many writers still come out woeful with their write-ups.

You and I will agree that virtually no one makes primary research to write blog articles. We most times write from other people's articles. But it's pathetic what many writers come up with.

I've seen writers who just rewrite from a single article. It's worse when the source article went off track. And they just rewrite in like manner.

I've seen writers with error-filled articles. I used to be like this a year ago. *covers face*


How to write a good blog post
Understand the topic and purpose of the article. You have no business with writing on a topic until you've perfectly understood it. Understanding the purpose of the article will let you know where the article is heading and what it hopes to address or achieve.

Generate ideas on the topic. This requires some level of intelligence on the part of the writer. Idea generation shapes the entire article. It helps you to know useful materials you can source from and those you can't. Writers who have poor idea-generating skills just write from one article that shares the same topic with the topic they're working on.

Use at least 3 to 4 articles. There are times you might even need an article on every point you're listing in your work. Let's say you're writing on "10 Ways To Win In Business," you could generate 10 ideas on your own or through different articles. And still, need about 7 articles to cover the 10 points.

Write simply. The goal is to communicate, not to leave readers confused.

Flow from one paragraph to another. A point that should be the first shouldn't be coming last.

Watch for typographical and grammatical errors. Using Grammarly or other "error-correcting" helps.

Try proofreading. Most times, it's not easy doing this after you've done a good job. But it's always worth it.

Take adequate time to write. Some jobs will take you little time, others will drain you. Make sure the time your client gives you is enough. Else, you'll be rushing over many things and coming out poorly.

*******
Considering the Nigeria writing marketplace where most clients want to pay ₦5/word or less, the pay doesn't justify the work. There are times I spend days just to understand the topic and come up with ideas to write a good article.

In your best interest, don't fix a rate. Get the job first and charge depending on how hard you envisage it will cost you.

If you need further explanation on writing or getting writing jobs, message me. My contact is below.

“If you can't feed a hundred people, then feed just one.”
…Mother Teresa

MOTHER TERESA (1910 – 1997)
If we are asked to qualify people with just a word, then the word that qualifies Mother Teresa is love. She was love personified and exemplified. She didn't just believe in it, she lived it and preached it. It wasn't for the glams. It wasn't for a position. It wasn't for any selfish or ulterior motives. It was basically for humanity. She gave her all. So much so that a reader objected to the several illnesses which caused her death that she didn't die of heart failure but she, at last, gave her heart away.

Early Life
Mother Teresa was born on the 26th of August 1910. She was born in Skopje which is currently the capital of North Macedonia, to a family of Albanian descent. She was christened Anjezë Gonxhe Bojaxhiu, being of Albanian descent. She was Nikollë and Dranafile Bojaxhiu’s last child.
Her family was devoted to the catholic. Nikollë was involved deeply in the activities of their local church. He was a businessman and was also involved in the politics of the Albanian community before his death in 1919, while Anjezë was still 8 years old.
Anjezë lived in her birthplace Skopje until she was 18 years old. Growing up, Anjezë was always fascinated by the stories of missionaries and their lives and works in Bengal. She decided she would commit to religious life while she was 12. And her resolve became stronger when she was 18. She moved to Ireland and later to India. She would later live most years of her life in India, as she became a citizen of India.
She finally left home at 18 for the Loreto Abbey at Rathfarnham, Ireland to join the Sisters of Loreto. She would not get to see her family again as she continued on her missionary journey. It was in Ireland that she learned English as part of her missionary journey since English was the instructional language of the Sisters of Loreto in India.
She was sent to India in 1929 where she started her novitiate in Darjeeling. There, she learned Bengali and taught at St Mary's high school for girls. The school was founded for educating girls from the poorest families in Bengali; and was run by her convent, the Loreto Sisters.
And in 1931, she took her first religious vows. She wanted to be named Thérèse De Lisieux, who is the patron saint of missionaries. But she opted for the Spanish spelling of the name because another nun from her convent had chosen the name. Hence, the birth of the name, Teresa. In 1937, Teresa took her solemn vows which led to taking on the title "Mother" as part of the customs of the Loreto nuns. She continued to teach at the Loreto convent school in Entally, eastern Calcutta. She remained there in service for about twenty years. Mother Teresa carried on her teaching and missionary journey in love and devotion to the church and humanity. She was both committed to educating her students and helping poor families in Bengal.

“A Call Within A Call”
Mother Teresa had an experience that she would personally describe as a call within a call. This was when she was traveling from Calcutta to Loreto Convent in Darjeeling for her annual retreat. While she was on the train en route to Darjeeling, Christ spoke to her and gave her an order of servitude to humanity. She was ordered to leave her teaching job to go to the slums of Calcutta to help the poorest and sickest people of the city.
After the much-needed lobbying of about a year and a half, Mother Teresa was granted permission to leave the convent to pursue her second calling. This was because she couldn't leave the Convent without official permission as she had sworn a vow of obedience to the Convent. She left the Loreto convent in August of 1948.
She moved into the city where she had basic medical training at the Holy Family Hospital for six months in Patna. After her training at the hospital, she moved into the slums of Calcutta for the first time. Her goal for moving to the slums was simply to help and assist the " unloved, uncared for, and the unwanted" people.

Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity
Mother Teresa quickly began her missionaries of charity as she had been mandated. She founded an open-air school in Motijhil, Kolkata to educate the poorest of the poor in Calcutta. She later built a home in an already dilapidated house to care for the dying and extremely poor. She was able to convince the government of the city in Calcutta to donate to support the cause.
She also received support from a group of young women who were mostly teachers and students from St Mary's School. This led to her receiving canonical recognition in 1950 for her new congregation, the Missionaries of Charity to start.
Her missionary movement continued in India and as it waxed stronger, she gained attention from around the country and abroad. She received donations from India and different parts of the world which led her to further expand her charitable activities.
She went on to establish an orphanage, a leper colony, a family clinic, a nursing home, and mobile clinics throughout the 1950s and 1960s.

Mother Teresa – The Most Powerful Woman In The World
Mother Teresa fondly said she was Albanian by blood, Indian by citizenship, and a Catholic nun by faith. She would also add that as for her calling, she belongs to the world, and as for her heart, she belongs completely to the heart of Jesus.
Pope Paul VI honored the Missionaries of Charity with the Decree of Praise in February 1965. This prompted Mother Teresa to further her international expansion.
Mother Teresa received several awards and recognition globally. Highly notable among them are: being awarded the highest honor that a civilian can get in India – “the Jewel of India;” and a Nobel Peace Prize in 1979, recognition for her work in helping the suffering humanity.
Mother Teresa of Calcutta, later went to New York City to establish her first US-based house of charity. In the summer of 1982, Mother Teresa secretly left for Beirut, Lebanon. Her journey to Beirut was to offer help to children of both Christian East Beirut and Muslim West Beirut who were trapped in the siege of the First Lebanon War. She evacuated scores of physically challenged children. And returned to New York.
In 1985, she spoke at the United Nations General Assembly's 40th anniversary in New York. In the introduction of Secretary-General Pérez de Cuéllar, he introduced Mother Teresa as the most powerful woman in the world. He said she was the United Nations, peace in this world. Mother Teresa's address was titled “One Strong Resolution: I Will Love.”
In 1999, after her demise, she ranked #1 in Gallup's List of Most Widely Admired People of the 20th Century.

The Starfishes
There's this popular story of a storm that raged an ocean and swept tens of thousands of starfish to the beach. A boy began picking the fishes that were still alive back into the water. Some people wondered and told him how effortless his endeavor will be when there would still be tens of thousands of fish left ashore or dead at the end of the day. The boy told them he might not be able to save the world of the starfish but for every starfish he saves, he saved its world.
Mother Teresa tends to have lived on a principle like this. She might not have been able to save the world but she saved the “worlds” of people before she breathed her last in 1997, as she finally gave her heart away as someone opined.
At her departure, the Missionaries of Charity had about 4,000 sisters, with thousands of other volunteers. The Missionaries of Charity had already established 610 foundations and 450 centers in up to 123 countries globally.
In 2016, she was named Saint Teresa of Calcutta in the order of the Catholic Church.
