In this post, I will share with you the top 10 blogs that accepts guest posts in Nigeria. Guest posting still remain one of the most effective content marketing strategies in history. Guest Posting allows fresh startups to get their voice heard by millions. But there are many things you will need to consider while choosing a blog for guest posting.

What is guest posting?
In a simple term, guest posting is all about publishing articles on other peoples' blogs. You simply request a guest posting opportunity from an admin of another blog. If he/she agrees, then you publish your article on his/her blog.

But why should you get involve in guest publishing?

Here are the 10 Benefits of Guest Posting;

(1) Get quality targeted traffic
(2) Build domain and search engine authority
(3) Build your portfolio and credibility
(4) Increase exposure and brand awareness
(5) Build your subscriber base*
(6) Build relationship
(7) Become an Expert
(8 ) Capture wider audience
(9) Improve your writing
(10) Get the links*

Warning! Guest posting for link building is bad for SEO

Before you choose a blog for guest post, there are many things you will consider;

(1) Blog traffic quality: here I don't mean high traffic blog, instead quality traffic that will convert to your intended products or services. So many people make mistakes by paying very high advertising fee on entertainment blogs not knowing that their reader may not be very interested in any other things apart from cheap leisure. So, while publishing your guest post, make sure you choose a blog that already have a well defined readers. We call it marketable audience. If you want to sell an eBook on how to make money online, then publish your guest post on blogs that writes about wealth creation, investment or business opportunities.

(2) Blog Domain Authority: According to DMOZ "Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. Use Domain Authority when comparing one site to another or tracking the “strength” of your website over time." This is very vital signal in search engine ranking. It could be difficult to know which domain have high authority but we have done this research for you came out with the top 10 blogs.

(3) Domain page rank: The higher the Page Rank, the greater the potential for that page to rank well. It's usually ranked from 0-10. So, you will benefit better if you publish a guest post on blogs that have high page ranks.

(4) Acceptability of Guest Post: You will agree with me that not all blogs accept guest post. The few ones that do accept guest post have stringent content quality guidelines that almost disqualifies most new blogs who just want to get awareness. This is a serious case in blogging industry. I have personally sent over 1,000 guest posting request and over 100 turned down my articles while 700 plus did not even respond. This makes the whole thing to be frustrating. Don't worry, I have researched on those quality blogs that will accept your guest post here in Nigeria.

ISIS fighters tortured a Syrian girl to death after she allegedly broke the Islamic dress code and her parents couldn’t do anything.

The 21-year-old victim was reportedly tortured by a sick female jihadi known as Oum Farouq who operates for the murderous terror group.

After the girl’s family received her body, they could do nothing because the Sharia Court supported the killing.

“She was harshly tortured. We have received her dead body full of physical effects of torture. The only judicial department in Manbij is the Sharia Court, which supports such crimes,” a heartbroken family member said.

According to the severe rule of ISIS (also known as Daesh), women are forced to wear a black veil and are not allowed to go anywhere without a male companion.

The killing happened after the jihadi group murdered a young journalist before hacking into her Facebook account to hunt down her acquaintances.

Ruqia Hassan, who went by Nisam Ibrahim on social media, is the fifth journalist who reported on the depraved death cult to be killed since October.

The former president of Nigeria Olusegun Obasanjo on Friday, January 8, posited that selfish leaders are the problems on the country, Vanguard reports.

Speaking during the courtesy visit of the leadership and members of the Scout Association of Nigeria, Obasanjo advised leaders at all levels to make the interest of the governed paramount in their policies.

The Scout Association decorated two-time leader of the country as Messenger of Peace Ambassador for Africa at his Presidential Hilltop mansion in Abeokuta.

In his appreciation speech, the 78-year-old disclosed that the decoration had rekindled memories of when he became Queen’s Scout, adding that leaders must always be prepared for challenges at all times.

“We need a Scout spirit in our country not just for individual benefit alone but also for services to the nation. Work collectively and provide the leadership that will make us get progress,” he emphasised

The elegant leader further called for unity, stating that collective responsibility would make the nation progress in all spheres.

The ex-leader however promised the group that he would help it notify President Muhammadu Buhari to fix a date for his decoration as the Grand Patron of the association.

In his response, Olusoga Sofola-Atibioke who is the Chief Commissioner of Scout Association of Nigeria, explained that having Obasanjo as the group’s ambassador will help build a peaceful and formidable Africa with special focus on Nigeria.

Niger state may refuse to use the card reader machines for the accreditation of voters in Saturday’s local government election, This Day reports.

According to a source close to the Niger State Independent Electoral Commission (NSIEC), the commission was considering the use of the manual accreditation of voters in the polls.

The commission wasn’t reportedly able to access the card reader machines from the Independent Electoral Commission in the state till Friday. It led to a necessity of searching alternative means of accrediting voters during the election.

This Day reports that INEC told officials of the state commission that it was yet to retrieve some of the machines from the various tribunals where they were taken and used as exhibits after the last general election.
