This guy always looking to appease to people's emotions instead of him to do proper campaign. The way BOS is campaigning like he has no godfather,like he is in one minor party, but this serial looser refuse to spend money. The other day he said Apc hates igbos,then he said BOS has a godfather,then he moved to " all my campaign posters are being torn" who is tearing them liar. Now he says hoodlums attack him  After 2015 election,he hibernated. Not a single word on Lagos or national politics. When Ambode was having 2nd term problem he suddenly woke up,joker aka hibernator.

For your information, I do not need you to practice my faith because I don't have a faith, we atheists don't need anything from you, or have you seen any atheist with megaphone disturbing the neighbourhood? We only voice out out opinion without violence. You theists are the violent ones.

HardGuyHardGuy: I think the fear of the law of your country should be the basis of your living, not the fear of an imaginary god. Besides, religious people happen to be the most dangerous set of people. Many of them are the ritual killers, they steal pants, pastors doing all sort of ritual killings to get more members and all sort of bad things to gain wealth spiritually. Atheists don't do these because we don't believe in them. You are accusing people of changing their attitude towards you as a result of your religious inclination or non inclination  but you are calling another person's basis of faith imaginary? Isn't that contradictory to the peace you preach? You don't believe in God,no problem,you are replying someone by calling his God imaginary,even when he hasn't cast any aversion towards your own belief? Isn't that hypocritical and ignorance  What makes you different from Boko Haram who wants everyone to practice their faith by attacking others? You just attack an innocent worshipper by calling his God imaginary, during a discourse that didn't warrant it. Guy you are a joker seriously,first I don't believe you are an atheist. If you are tell us the day you became an antheist,what lead to it and the moment you know you are now an antheist. Most of you are suffering from bang wagon effect (just like many Christian's and moslems too). You found some folks on Nairaland saying they are atheists and boom,you jumped on the van. You are using atheism as a defence mechanism to fight back against your unconsciously deep seated belief that God has failed you and you need to fight back by denying him.

Webmasters › Re: Blogging: How To Write A Compelling Article That Your Readers Will Love by Greatzeus(m): 7:39am On Jan 21, 2019 |
Julius2214: This article is a bit lengthy, so I'll try and summarize it. If you want to read the full post, visit my blog Bloggingplan.com
If you are a blogger, not a copy-and-paste blogger, whether you’re just starting out or you’ve been at it for a while, you’ll understand that it is important to regularly update your blog and ‘feed’ your readers with fresh content. Easier said than done, it is not always easy to come up with ideas of what to write about. Even if you have an idea of what to write, you need to know how to write a compelling article or post that will attract attention.
Have it in mind, that writing online is different from writing a novel or a non-fictional story. In this post, you’ll learn some writing tips that will help you become a better writer. Implement these tips whenever you’re writing your next post and see the results.
Start Writing Regularly
The more you write the better you will become at writing. So, it just makes sense that you want to get into the habit of writing every day. You don’t have to post on your blog every day, but make writing your hobby. Write anytime you are idle.
Start Reading Regularly
Though reading regularly makes you a good reader, but the fact is it helps your writing ability more. Plus, by reading you will be regularly updated on current happenings have wide knowledge on many topics. Reading will provide you with useful insights and topics that you can write about on your own blog.
Take the time to read up on a new hobby or skill that you have always wanted to learn. Your vocabulary will expand when exposing your mind to a variety of content. You will find out that writing becomes easier and even enjoyable. You will also be awed at the number of ideas that’ll flood your mind.
Write in a Comfortable Place
For me, “a comfortable place” is a very quiet and noiseless place. I will be able to think without any interference. So, If you are seriously trying to write a long article or even start a book you need to have a comfortable place to work in. This will vary depending upon your personality. Some prefer writing in a quiet room at home, just like me, while others prefer to write outdoors when possible. Like a friend of mine who said he gets inspiration when he sees people around. Funny Right?
Research Your Topic
Before writing your an article, take the time to research your topic. When someone visits the internet to look for information, they are always looking for facts and current information. Nobody will come back to your blog if they notice posts are guesses and not facts.
By researching first, you will have timely facts and information that you automatically include in your blog posts and articles. By taking the time to research, your content is more likely to be shown as relevant content in the search engines. What this means is that your posts, pages, and articles are more likely to show up in the top results in any search engine.
Once you have compiled your research you will be able to easily create a good outline for your topic. You may even find that the direction you first had in mind has changed. Researching can help you discover new and unique angles that you had not thought of.
Create an Outline
This is very very important and it applies to almost everything you do and not only writing. If you find that you often get stuck writing a complete blog post or article, you should consider using an outline.
This technique allows you to simply fill in the outline, once created, in a step by step process. Once filled in your basic article is completed. Using an outline simplifies the writing process and makes it easy for you to create quick and informative posts.
A good outline includes: 1. Introduction 2. Body 3. Conclusion
In the introduction, you will basically tell the reader what they are going to learn by reading your article or post. In the body of your article make a list of the points or sub-topics that you want to discuss. These points will become the subheadings of your article. After you have outlined your points you go back and write a couple of sentences on each one. This becomes the body of your article.
Once you get to the conclusion you simply wrap up and summarize the main points again. Then add a call to action for your reader and your new post is ready for publication.
Develop Compelling Headlines & Titles
With any type of writing which is going to be published online, you want to take the time to come up with compelling headlines. A good headline will attract your website visitor’s attention immediately, and this will entice them to read the entire article.
When writing your headline or title do not use all capital letters in it and avoid using punctuation. If you place a full stop or period at the end of your headline it will make the reader want to stop reading. By eliminating this punctuation your reader is more likely to continue reading your full article.
Examples of great titles are: • Titles that ask questions or provoke opinions • How to titles • Step by Step titles • Titles which stir feelings in your reader
Make Use of White Space
When you write content that you wish to post on your website it is important to take the visual appearance of the piece into consideration. You don’t want to publish a long article that is all text and without white space.
Immediately visitors view this as ‘boring’, and they will click away without bothering to read it. While you can still publish long articles, you can make them look less ‘boring’ by breaking the piece up into smaller sections.
One way to do this is to write smaller paragraphs. When you have more paragraphs, whiter space appears on your site. This has the effect of making your article look smaller and easier to read. Including headings and subtitles also goes a long way in helping to break up your content. The more manageable your content appears, the more readers you will attract.
If your article is extremely long you may want to consider breaking into 2 or 3 smaller posts and then link to each one at the end of the article.
Use a Friendly Tone of Voice When Writing on Your Blog
Conversational and friendly tones work best when writing online content. Use a passive voice in your writing. When writing for your blog write as though you are chatting with your best friend or family member, someone that you know well. When you write in this manner your content becomes friendlier and adds that human touch.
A common problem with the internet is that a website often blocks the human element. Sometimes a reader doesn’t really know who has written the content and this adds distance. By writing in a friendly manner you are forming a relationship with your readers and they, in turn, will learn to know, like and trust you more. It will be then very easy convincing them to buy something from you. And it is extremely important for connecting long-term readership for your blog.
Include Lists and Step by Step Tutorials
When creating content, you can make your content easier to read and more attractive by making use of lists and step by step tutorials. This offers several benefits including making your content more appealing to visitors. Instead of being faced with a long article they immediately see that your content is short and easy to read.
You can list main points and use bullet points or numbers to make them stand out on your page. As we mentioned earlier readers on the internet are in the habit of scanning content rather than reading every word in detail. So, using short points can help them identify if your content is what they are looking for.
Use Clear Language
Shorthand is now the general language of social media. It baffles me when I see an online post with shorthands like “u” instead of “you” or “btw” instead of “between”. Sincerely, I’ve seen it much time. I even saw one, though it wasn’t shorthand but it was totally unreadable. One of the biggest mistakes you can make when it comes to writing online content is to use fancy language. This can be a foreign concept to many writers, but believe me, your readers will appreciate a clear and easy to understand language.
Only use technical terminology when required. If you are writing a white paper for university graduates then you will, of course, use different language as compared to writing for young adults.
Use Summaries
A summary is basically a quick recap of what your article or post is about. You are actually telling the reader what you have just told them! A good summary consists of one good paragraph and this summary can be used to describe your article as well. Learning how to write a good summary is important if you want to submit articles to article directories for example.
As you gain experience with crafting summaries you will also be improving your copywriting skills. So, when it is time to write a sales page you will have an easier time of coming up with shorter sentences to reflect benefits and key points.
If you condense your summary even further, into 150 characters, this becomes the sentence that is displayed by the search engines when your website shows up on the results page.
Include a Call to Action
When writing articles that are to be published online you normally want the reader to perform some type of action after reading it. This action is referred to as a “Call to Action”. It can include having your reader click on a buy button, liking or sharing your post or giving up their email address in exchange for a gift.
If you don’t tell your reader what you want them to do at the end of your article they will simply click away. Instead it is important to lead your reader somewhere. You can Just tell them to share your content on social media if they find it interesting or tell them to drop a comment. This way, you are engaging your readers.
Tips: Make your call to action very clear. If you want them to sign up for your newsletter, tell them how to do it. If the required action is to click a link put the link there for them to click on! By including a call to action your conversion rates will increase as will your profit margin. Don’t expect people to know what action you want them to take, instead show them! If you
Write, Read, Edit, Proofread and then Repeat
When you write a post, it is advisable not to post them immediately. Give it at least a day. This way when you open it up again to reread and edit it you can pick up on errors easily. Do not simply write and publish your content without proofreading it. For instance, I’ve written this post you’re reading now since two days ago and I’ve read it over and over again for errors, subtraction or addition. I’m not saying I am perfect and of course there might still be some errors. So if you see any, just point them out so I can correct them.
When editing and proof reading your work do so with an open mind and pay attention to the small details. It can be so easy to overlook words by reading too fast. Instead read slowly and carefully. If you find yourself faltering over a sentence and have to read it more than once, stop and fix the sentence.

Business › Re: What Happens To My Money If I'm Robbed In A Bank While Waiting To Deposit? by Greatzeus(m): 4:56pm On Jan 20, 2019 |
uchennamani: That would be dependent on lots of facts. If the money is already deposited, the bank is 100% liable to pay back. Theoretically speaking, the bank will still be liable if the money hasn't been deposited but the customer could prove that he has the money with him before the robbery occurred. This is simply because the bank owed the customer a duty of care to prevent occurrence of robbery in its premises. The court would resort to evidence to hold the bank liable. I believe there is no straight-forward answer here. They may be liable, they may escape liability.
Still, the general rule is that the bank owe it's customers a duty to prevent occurrence of robbery in its halls/premises. The rule here is to do everything reasonable foreseeable to prevent the robbery from taking place. I disagree sir,how will you prove you have a certain amount of money with you. What if everyone claims they came with N10m to deposit and it was stolen? Unless you can prove beyond every reasonable doubt(which you won't be able to do),that you came in with such amount of money kiss your money good bye. Not everyone in the banking hall is there to deposit,how can you prove you weren't there to collect ATM card or check your balance etc?. Every money the bank has is owned by someone(Capital) and owed to someone(Liability). When you deposit,you are owed,so they send you credit alert(creditor). When you withdraw,the money they owe you reduce,so they send you debit alert (debtor). Your best assurance of having your money back is if it has been credited to your account,if not,it is just your words against the bank's. And believe me the bank will likely get away with it. |
