Ok. I understand your point now.

True, I used chatgpt to write the script.

But I didn't use only one picture for the entire video. Infact I used more than 15 pictures. I used over 20 pictures for the first video in the channel.

As for the voiceover, I can't afford ElevenLabs because of the cost.. I plan to use minimax once I see save up as it's cheaper than ElevenLabs.


And for YouTube not paying, I've seen channels that use only 3 or 4 pics/videos, has lots of views and still has ads running on their video.. it all depends on niche.. some niche require much pix/videos while others don't.

If you know any other niche that's easy to make videos and generates views.. please let me know.


Please watch my video 🙏🏼🙏🏼
I must apologize I didn't go watch your video for long.

I am glad anyway you got my drift.

Some years back, creators could choose whether they wanted paid ads to be shown on their videos or not. YouTube ended it. So YT will show ads on your videos whether you want it or not.

So, because YT shows ads on your video does not mean it is monetized. All the ad money will go into YouTubes pocket. What I am saying is that video ads on your videos does not necessarily mean you will benefit from it. Please do your investigations. YouTube is cracking down on low effort videos.

It is essential you keep abreast of YouTube monetization policies and updates so you don't lose money.

Search this on Google: what did the last YouTube update say about low effort videos?
Christianity Etc › Re: Can Unconfessed Evil Secret Make a ﹰPerson Miss Heaven by grandstar(m):
Do all righteous people go to heaven?

This what Bible says:

God created the earth for mankind

Psalms 115:16 says:

As for the heavens, they belong to Jehovah,s
But the earth he has given to the sons of men


Isaiah 45:18:

For this is what Jehovah says,
The Creator of the heavens,h the true God,
The One who formed the earth, its Maker who firmly established it,
Who did not create it simply for nothing,* but formed it to be inhabited:
“I am Jehovah, and there is no one else.


So God created the earth for it to be inhabited by man.

See what Bible says about the earth and salvation:

Pslams 37:11

But the meek will possess the earth,
And they will find exquisite delight in the abundance of peace


Pslams 37:29

The righteous will possess the earth,
And they will live forever on it


Matthew 5:5

Happy are the mild-tempered, since they will inherit the earth

Luke 23:42,43

Then he said: “Jesus, remember me when you get into your Kingdom.”
  And he said to him: “Truly I tell you today, you will be with me in Paradise.”


2 Peter 3:13

But there are new heavens and a new earth that we are awaiting according to his promise, and in these righteousness is to dwell.

Revelations 21:3-4

3 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.

4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more,h neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away.



I am preparing for my meeting now.

If you have any questions like "who then goes to heaven and why", about Hell, or Hellfire whether it will be the place the unrighteous with hiden sin will go to, please feel free to ask

Yes, the amount is tiny but a determined would still go ahead.

It would take phenomenal discipline to make it work.

Many will chop food without meat. They may even stay in their relation house for free. My first cousin when he got married spent the first 14 years of his marraige rent free in our house. For the first few years, he was a penniless pastor and they were surviving on the wife's income as a lawyer with Lagos state. She didn't get that job until like 4 years after the wedding.

Determination is the key, love and God.

I didn't say I 100% approve of it. The Bible says he that wants to build a house should first count the cost. To each his own.

How do you mean please? 🥺
To make your video, all you did was go to chatgpt to write you a story. You might have used Elevenlabs or minimax voice over to make the voice over. And you pasted one photo for the entire length of the video. That is low effort

Imagine instead, you used several clips of videos and pictures relevant to your story. This would take time to do. You would have put in effort into making them. That is what Youtube wants.

You can easily produce 5 of your videos everyday using your system. It's extremely easy to do.

Possibility of Youtube paying you anything is slim. However, you can engage in affiliate marketing. Find products related to your video and sell them.

For instance, you can market elevenlabs to your visitors if they want voice-overs done. If they purchase it, Elevenlabs pays you a commission.

omohayek:
As I've already responded to a similar comment you made elsewhere, there's nothing dumb about this. These very senators are the ones who should be at the helm of drawing up legislation to solve Nigeria's security problems, but until now they've had the luxury of being able to rely on police escorts to shield them from the realities of life for the people they claim to serve.

In civilised countries, representatives and senators have no need for noisy police escorts to go about their business. The question all members of the NASS should be asking isn't why their police escorts have been withdrawn, but why Nigeria's system of policing is so broken that powerful politicians should need police escorts to begin with. In the end, they are the legislative branch, and they are the only ones with the authority to pass the root-and-branch reforms Nigerian policing sorely needs. Tinubu can certainly try to lobby them, but in the end his authority is limited to simply signing or vetoing whatever reforms the NASS members propose. The prospect of being kidnapped themselves should concentrate their minds on this task wonderfully.
You made a strong point but my worry is whether these senators have the competence to oversee this issue.

Just like in the US when politicians claim to be hard on crime, it leaves a lot to be worried about such as, "Three strikes, you're out!" Why not better policing, why not more boots on the ground in the inner cities?

What is needed is implementation in Nigeria. What criminals fear most is apprehension and prosecution. Kidnappings and these marauder bands called Bandits thrive and act so brazenly is because they think or know the security forces are either ineffective or Incompetent.

Where I think the fire on senators butt will prove effective is that they would demand ACTION aside from just making laws.

In the past, a phone tracking system was introduced to tackle kidnappings and it was quite effective. However, politicians started using it to spy on rivals and other things. It had to be scrapped.

Security agencies must be well equipped and trained and made into strong institutions and not wait for orders from the president or others to do their job.

What security outfit has the job of ending Banditry? Which one had the job of preventing them in the first place?

New legislation isn't a bad idea but ACTION is what's needed the most.

1x2x3:
Just shut up.

Why would a politician care about the lives of unprotected citizen if him and his household are given 24/7 armed security?

We have this culture of "if it doesn't affect me directly then I shouldn't be concerned"

Let kidnappers kidnap 3 politicians and their families then you'd see they can curb insecurities if they want to.
You made a point, one that did not escape my mind.

It's not only politicians that use escorts. It's those I am worried about. If you're a honest businessman , you might need security.

When my 3 siblings came from England, we had to get security for them. I kept looking over my shoulder when we travelled to my hometown.

Not everyone using escorts is a crook. It's not their fault the security situation is so bad.

Will the rate of kidnapping and Banditry reduce dramatically to a point people feel safe without these escorts? This isn't Switzerland.

Tinubu should focus on the problem which are the high rates of kidnapping and Banditry and not the symptoms.

Tinubu is only treating the symptom of a problem and not the problem itself.

The problem is the high crime rate and kidnapping. People are so afraid.

You're only 25. You're male. You still have time.

By the way, relationships are overrated. Most of your male friends will not marry any of the girls they dated.

By 27, you are entering the ready to settle stage. Don't go for any lady younger than 24. I would prefer 25. At that age, they have started taking the issue of settling down seriously (Read 1 Corinthians 7:36). They are tired of boyfriend and girlfriend relationship.

Maybe a serious relationship was the type meant for you.

So, don't fret. 25 is still young.

Focus now on improving your monthly earnings to like 500k a month. From this age to 32, it is the time you use to build yourself financially before marraige, and also develop traits that will make you a good husband.

I sense your real problem are your finances, and you have doubts about your future. The issue about ladies is merely the symptoms of the problem. If you were earning well and owned a nice ride, you'd be more upbeat. If I was earning 100k like you, I'd be miserable too.

Just see the first 5 years after leaving uni as the foundation for your future. By the end of the 5th year at most, your earning capacity would have increased. The necessary experience most employers are seeking, you would have them at the time. So, don't waste those first 5 years, You could blow even in your second year. Five years is the most. You can also go the self employed route. More than 50% of all Gen Z in the US have a side-gig.

So, ensure you have work experience. If you need trainings to improve your earning power, take them. You can learn cybersecurity or any indemand software course. You could even learn some things that can bring you cash from freelancing.

A freelancer I use who had his Upwork account suspended for contacting his client outside their network. He has $7,000 stuck there, If you were earning $500 a month, that would be N750,000 monthly, and that would befrom the comfort of your home. You could earn much higher. You can give Upwork.com or Fiverr.com a go.

So, use this time to build yourself. That is what it is for.

You could also build your relationship with God.Visit jw.oirg and start a free Bible study. Remember, man shall not live by bread alone.[i][/i]

You are free to entertain your own opinion but the fact that you believe it doesn't make it valid.
The point still remains the fact that SE votes were not part of the votes that made Tinubu our president in 2023 and there is high degree of probability that it won't determine his victory in 2027. It doesn't matter if you are Igbo or anti Tinubu, we are discussing facts and reality
It was because of my post below that you first engaged me.

My reference to Nnamdi Kanu was not even flattering.

Please read the highlighted again.

MY INITIAL POST BELOW

"I won't be surprised if Tinubu knew it was a failed mission from the get go.

Had the mission been successful, he would have a few Igbo votes in the bag.

It would also be a sup to the Igbos after the life sentence pronounced on Nnamdi Kanu, the violence loving secessionist."

He might be worried the sentence may work against him in 2027. He would still win without Igbo votes.

Tinubu is a man who doesn't take chances.

This is just naive.

The problem has never been the severity of the punishment.

The problem is that perpetrators know they won't be caught and punished. The clear up for these crimes is poor.

Achieve a clear up rate of at least 80% and lock them up these criminals, and trust me, the numbers would plummet before you say "Jack Robinson."

The bandits and kidnappers, especially the former are so vrazen that they believe they are untouchable.

Unless maybe your wife also earns 800k and no kids
If there's no wife or kid, you'd be right.

But again, with 700k, if you're prudent, you can still take good care of a wife and 2 kids. It would be an extra if the wife was also working or owns a business.

To be really okay with a wife and 2 kids, 1.5m might be a start.

Though they are doing good for themselves because they now own their own house but she is still complaining about the harsh reality of living in the Uk as a migrant and how govt policy is now even making so difficult for them because the taxes are so draining and it’s just seem you are working for the Uk govt to better their economy because their economy is more dependent on tax. She share a lot of stories of people who left decent jobs here in Nigeria for uncertainty and some still paying the money they borrowed from people in Nigeria before they left…most of the developed world are now making tougher migration policies just to discourage migration. Just like some people rightly mentioned, anyone planning to migrate now should do a thorough research about the country he/she is migrating to and also importantly, you must have skills in a certain field that will earn you a job. Most of them who failed to do this are living with regret and are ashamed to return home.
