Just 4 weeks of eating Ghanaian Jollof and Banku and he's already put a ring on it. That shows you the potency of Ghanaian jazz. I never knew Ghanaian ladies were this daring.

But on the bright side, I think this is good for our international relations. The husband was only trying to strengthen our international ties with our African neighbours. A true patriot that has the interest of his country at heart. That man is the real MVP.

You didn't mention wanke and donkunu. Donkunu used to be my favorite swallow in early 2000,served with black pepper, uncooked pepper and fried fish the woman who sells it in my area then has gone back to Ghana now.

APC is looking at this as an option for Jubril but it's too late, Buhari has is and buried

Yawns you are probably the first person to call Pmb jubril this year congrats but so you know that shi t is stalled and dead. Wait for your leaders to come up with another moronic joke

This world is gone... Porn star now popular..

What if he was not a porn star? What he sleeps with anything on skirt and still carries his Bible and go to church on Sundays like many hypocrites out there? Would it have been ok?
What if he is not a porn star but kidnaps and kills people for money rituals? Would it have been ok,we are hypocrites in Africa,no wonder we are Backward. Honestly I will not be a friend or even a neighbor with someone like him,but I will never judge him or make him think I am holier than him.

Houseofglam7:
Who would wanna identify with an idiot like this?
Oh,I forgot
Idiots like himself

Why? Let me guess he is a sinner and you are a saint? Hypocrite,I don't know the religion you practice but If you have a Bible,read about Jesus and how he relates with people especially the publicans.
Let me tell you,you are not better morally than anyone in this world,even if you live in a convent. Our only hope is the gift of righteousness Jesus died for us to have.
So stop being judgmental and a hypocrite.

Wish him quick recovery.
We always blame bad roads but most Nigerian drivers who do inter state are mostly responsible for all these accidents. They drink alcohol and smoke before embarking on a journey, they have a very poor maintenance culture. They keep using their buses and cars to make money,yet ignore the numerous mechanical faults they have.
Causes of Accidents in Nigeria according to me:
Drivers- 60%
Bad Roads-30%
Other factors- 10%

You created your own blog picture on another illegally downloaded online picture. It's like wrapping weed with a Bible page,so as to make it legal lol

Straight up wack
I repeat this article is straight up wack
What you mention are points a secondary school student can come up with if asked the question. You left cogent reason like social class difference,eg how many men can walk up to Genevieve to toast her?

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.

Why should South East be concerned about 2023? Ain't they supporting Atiku? Won't he still be president then if he wins in 2019,or is it that deep down they don't really believe Atiku will win

This is how a testimony should be. Giving all thanks and Glory to God not to a pastor or church. He didn't mention the name of his pastor or church,but gave the glory to God.

ShameOnAPC:
Do you have anything you do apart from staying online on nairaland 24/7?
Is Seun Osewa paying you for commenting on every post?
Its clear everything about you is lifeless like your dullard Sudanese that Amachi exposed today

It's obvious Apc and Pmb are your nightmare,you even named yourself after your supposed worst enemy,in Yoruba land,they call it pointing to your father's house with your left hand(If you don't understand,go ask elders at home, they'll help).
Now to the business at hand, explain this to me,you rarely come to Nairaland right? But when you do you see a moniker and you assume he/she's always online? Hello Obviously your comment is fueled with hate that has no cause,just because you think he or she is of diverse political views from yours.
Many are here on Nairaland, doing their business making millions,you a grown ass man carry politicians matter on your head.Men who don't give a huff about your miserable existence. Must everyone support your candidate? Can't you do your thing and let him do his? No wonder they call you people children of hate,gosh

Okoyebos:
Actually, you are the one from the cursed lineage of Judas Iscariot who denied Jesus and was cursed and kicked off out of Isreal.

You generational losers always try to measure up to Yorubas and have always failed.

When Yorubas were building mud houses, the animals you call ancestors were still living in trees and had not yet evolved to make human sounds.

Your soil is cursed and barren, that's why it's muddy. You lot have to move to other people's lands before you can make it in life.

You are the largest group of non-conflict refugees. Parasites everywhere.

That exactly why you animals were banned in Saudi.

Jesuuuuuuuuuuuu
On top wetin now,chai this is genocide murdered a Geo political zone in a single statement damn

JasonScoolari:
Yes, we the APC want him executed so that our baba will be very happy going into the elections.

We the APC are ready to eliminate those who oppose buhari here in nairaland.

We will make sure Dino is killed before the election.

Inshallah

You mean the way Gej sent soldiers to surround Jabagban's house at bourdillon just before the 2015 election That must be very democratic of him.
Hypocrites everywhere,I wonder how you guys will cope after Pmb has been declared as the winner of 2019 election. Many of you will probably die of pain,like literally.

Chi59:
I wanna get married

You will,sure thing. But don't "marriage time" yourself,so as not to fall into the hand of a beast,in the name of meeting up with the time you set. Trust in God girl,not everyone is what he/ she seems.

If Hashim wins Yoruba wins God wins
If Pmb wins Yoruba also wins God wins

I have just one account since 2015,I say what I want,I don't have to open new account every week. Because I am not a scammer or jobless troll who talks our of turn.

[quote author=ChiefAzubuike post=74441225][/quote]Don't you have something to say about how your animalistic savage brother almost beat his wife to death It's a pity this woman will be cursing Pmb who has never hurt her before, thinking he is the enemy. Not knowing her real enemy lives and sleeps with her

Freeze, if u like, kill yourself which am sure you will soon, cause the riches in churches will soon send you to constant depression.. Nonsense

You read everything he wrote,he won't read your comments cos he doesn't know you exist. So who is the winner or loser between you and him

I forsee the gradual end of tech giants like Apple and Facebook. Nothing lasts forever particularly when your product lacks any real innovation and your competitors are far more innovative than you are.

Apple products lack innovation Or you wanted to use another word? Facebook lack real innovation? The first of it's kind in the history of social networking. Gosh,hope Yahoo plus guys have not used your common sense to buy Benz,cos you sound stupid as f uck

promotervickky:
I would say this is a very stupid write up, Nevertheless I won't force you to believe what u don't want to believe, you talked about a woman who didn't submit her first fruit then bought a car in uber, what if she has submitted that first fruit and bought 2 to 3 cars in uber ? I am a Graphics designer, I started this year, my first fruit from it was all submitted to God, and you know what happened? There has been harvest, just few days ago I cashed out some good cash from graphics, there are other things coming because I submitted my first fruit.

This is a good testimony,but you have to grow up as a Christian. Babes give to God to receive,and if they don't receive? Give to God if you want,he owns you and everything on Earth. God blessed a lot of people this year who didn't pay any first fruit because he is God that's his nature. Infact a lot of non Christian's made million times of what you made. God made his sun to shine on any and every body,that's who he is.
God didn't give you anything because of first fruit,if he did,then you deserve it,he doesn't deserve your praise. God will and has never blessed any one because they deserve it,he blesses because he is good.

Sniper usage on humans again?bad market for manufacturer. Hope it wont be banned for those that truly need it for House hold pests.

Rip kiddos. I pray the 3rd son survives

He planned to kill 3kids? Oh God all in the name of what he was told. Kids that when they were given birth to, you called people to celebrate with you over. Na wa o


Him and his brother should sentenced to death for murder. And the fake prophet should also be charged to court.

Household pest that we have been killing for ages yet they are very much still around. Personally,I don't use it for pest control and I have never and will never buy one. There are lots of alternatives,even the empty plastic case is very much dangerous to kids.

Do you want to register a domain name for your business or personal blog site? Are you considering starting a business and wish to register the business name soon? With so many domains and business names already registered and currently in use, it is very difficult to find a good one.

Sometimes I create blogs for different purposes but the hardest part is finding a good domain name. Even on social media, I have seen friends who asked for others to suggest good names for them. This can also happen when you are about to register a business name.

There are some vital things we must consider when choosing domain names or business names.

Email Address
Let assume you are satisfied with the domain name you find, for instance, mazinoweb.com. Try to see if the following email address mazinoweb[at]gmail.com or mazinoweb[at]yahoomail.com is not in used by anyone.


Try to create an email address with that same domain name. That is what I always do before registering a new domain name. So that even if I don't create a custom email for the domain, I will still have an email that matches my domain name.


With this way, you prevent scrupulous individuals from using your brand name to commit havoc. This also applies to register a business name. Business name different from email name may confuse your customers. For example, you are into real estate and you registered the business name Real Estate Guardian, and your email address is abcrealestat[at]gmail.com or info[at]abcrealstate.com, you are indirectly creating a weak brand name.


Social Media Profiles
Take it or leave it, every business needs social media presence. Big brands are making use of it. Social media has come to stay so when registering a domain or business name, try to see if the social media names are available. For instance, when registering mazinoweb.com, I make sure that no one was using mazinoweb on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram as username. Facebook.com/Mazinoweb, Twitter.com/Mazinoweb, Instagram.com/Mazinoweb and even other social networking sites like Reddit and Linkedin are all the same. I also created a Nairaland account with the same username. This how you can create your unique brand name for your business.


It is good to have one unique name for your business, be it an online or offline business. What do you think?

Culled from https://www.mazinoweb.com/2017/02/registering-domain-name-business-name.html

Hi,I started learning web design few months back,now I am building a web site using word press,but with an offline tool. I hope to make it my blog when I'm ready to buy hosting right and domain.
My questions are:
1. Will I have to change the website name I am using to build my blog currently when I want to buy hosting and domain?
2. How will I transfer the site I built to the hosting server I will register too? Most tutorials I watched started with buying hosting and domain before building the site. But I am building the website first.

questechie:
Except you are bringing something totally unique to the table, launching a blog in 2019 will be suicidal and would portend an already failed project. Now that Google proposes E.A.T to rank any site, where e stands for expertise, a authority and t trustworthiness.

From your comment,you have crossed blogging out of your mind, because of google policy which will always happen. Next few year another policy will be out,so what now?
You wrote like a failure,this is how failures think and this is why many are poor,they want security without risk. If you were my son,the advice I will give you is it's better to try and fail than not to try at all.
For the record, nobody should go into blogging as a copy cat,but being unique is debatable,there is nothing you can think of doing or writing that has never be done, infact every niche is saturated unless you want to start blogging about "life in Mars" sharing your experience in alien planets,if not no uniqueness any where except you meant writing original contents.
People will go into blogging this year,some will succeed some will fail,that's the way it is in any business. But that's not the end,you can make it in anything you put your mind to,if you have the right skill and passion for it.
Start thinking like successful people.
