You are PURE EVIL McWazobia aka Phillip.
You have even gone ahead realeased the whole documentary online.
A video you did not pay a single kobo to produce and have no authority whatsoever to. distribute.
I pray you are prosecuted and pay HUGE damages for this.

Look for a book and calculate how many words are in a page and then multiply by 25; that should give you an idea of how many words to expect.

Thanks sef!
You actually gave me a fantastic idea!
I went to Google and typed 'how many words are in a book page'
And I got this:

"It depends on the font you are using, of course, but in general, 250-300 words per page. Therefore, a 55,000 word book should be about 200 manuscript pages. A 100,000 word book would be about 400. Editors like 12 point font.

Let me go and bid now.

Its not supposed to be as hard as dat now..., Haba!

Besides, the word length in 'Purple Hibiscus' will be different from that of 'The Geography of Timbuctu'
There must be a general yardstick of measurement and someone here will know.

Hi,

Please does anyone have an idea of how many words on the average a 25 page book/report is expected to contain?

I have been asked to bid for a 15-25 page book/report. I am used to bidding using word length so I need some advice on this in order not to shoot myself in the foot.

Cheers.

Hello Everyone,

Mc Wazobia Steals My Video On alopecia, Edits It As A Comedy Skit & Releases It Online

https://s18.postimg.org/xavm0l3y1/mc_wazobia.jpg

Please grant me a listening ear and help me use your online channel to expose this issue.

Introduction:
My name is Jasmine Oguns. I have suffered from a disease called alopecia for the last ten years of my life. If you are reading this and you do not know what alopecia is, I will briefly educate you.

It is a disease that makes the hair on your head stop growing. Sometimes it even impairs the growth of hairs on your face (eyebrows, beard & upper lip (for men) and even the body.

alopecia is an autoimmune disease and a hormonal disorder. It is not physically contagious but for any woman like me, emotionally, this disease can be extremely challenging. It strips your pride away and dwindles your confidence to a negative low. I will discuss my own personal experiences of stigmatization because of alopecia in due time.

Photographer, Anthony Griffin summed it all in the very recent photo-shoot he did where he beautifully captured several female alopecia sufferers that “It can result in social phobia, anxiety and depression, especially for women for whom a deep, personal relationship between hair and self-esteem has existed throughout history, philosophy and religion.” (See the photos here).

Even celebrities like Tina Turner, Naomi Campbell, and Beyonce have been strongly rumoured to suffer from alopecia. Several of their colleagues also donate millions to support alopecia sufferers but in Nigeria, victims are stigmatized and suffer.

Men are affected by alopecia too. But they can get away with it by being called 'bald & sexy'. A woman's hair is her crowning glory. Hair loss from alopecia can drive you to the verge of suicide if you do not get emotional support. It is not to be joked with.

My Complaint:
A while ago, I started an NGO, (Heroic Alopecian Foundation - HAF) to create awareness about alopecia and help reduce stigmatization. I paid a director called Edward Uka to shoot a video which was meant to be an intro for an extensive documentary on alopecia. Edward introduced Philip Azeke aka 'MC Wazobia to feature in the video. (Engaging MC Wazobia was not even part of the initial plan).

When this video project was completed, MC Wazobia asked to use the video and I said “NO”. I was still editing it and was not fully ready to air it. As I write this press release, my video has gone viral.

Mc Wazobia Has Stolen The Video, claimed the intellectual rights, edited it to look like a full blown comedy skit and released to gain popularity without acknowledging / giving credit to the true video source or originally intended purpose.

Wazobia FM, despite the enormous campaigns about piracy in Nigeria, even appended their watermark on my video and spread it through their online media channels.

I humbly ask you to help me expose and address this theft. Anything released to the internet cannot be retrieved. I will forge ahead and find other ways to modify and release my earlier intended project. But I want Phillip Azeke aka MC Wazobia to be sanctioned for his unprofessional and fraudulent act. Simply put, He Stole My Work.

I questioned him directly and he remains unapologetic, unremorseful, and callous about his actions. He has a right of reply to this release but I have already engaged the services of a lawyer to pursue legal redress and I will hand the lawyer all evidence required to prove my story.

I am so sad and traumatized that serious issue like alopecia can be treated as comical in our country Nigeria. It is high time we start treating certain health issues with more sensitivity than we already are. I am certain that women, who truly know the implication of hair loss, can also lend a voice to condemning MC Wazobia’s actions.

Thank you for your assistance. I am most grateful.

Regards,

Jasmine Oguns

Gone are the days wen pot belly na sign of enjoyment, these days some pot belly na due to swear.



Viewers discretion is strongly advised.

Very disgusting!

When a man's pot belly gets so big to the extent that he can't see his own d__k, trust me, there is NOTHING sexy about it!

Hello. I need professional advice from you. Can I have your contact details please?

Go to my profile & send me a private message.
Cheers.

The fools do not even look like they have seen N50,000 in their lives before and they are demanding for N60 million.

papaking1:
Dont know about freelancer, yet to get my first job there. skye bank charge less than 1% for every transaction

Thanks.

Most people want to write a book but they make two huge mistakes.

1) They think they have to write it all by themselves.
2) They never pay for a professional editor to edit their mistakes.

Prolific writers like J.K Rowling and Chimamanda Adiche are not infallible and make mistakes even with spell checkers and Grammarly.
Their editors are handsomely paid to bring the book up to date.

Even the bicycle repairer in your village with Primary School education can write a book. If he pays a professional editor, it will look as if Achebe wrote it.

Someone I wrote a book for wanted me to spell check, grammar update, format for kindle, design the book cover, and other things in order to save costs. I told him I do not specialize in such services and suggested he outsources to Fiverr. He insisted, I did the best I could and got paid for it but I cannot guarantee it will be error free.

Another one insisted and after 3 spell checks and plagiarism checks, there were still errors in the book that needed professional touch.

I am trying to write my own books for sale on Kindle now. I have paid almost $40 for initial research and I will budget about $100 for professional editing. You cannot be a jack of all trades. A fresh set of eyes can save you local and international embarrassment.

ddippset:
Odear, O dear, O dear! You are really really upset! If you couldn't see the humour in my comment then iam afraid your judgement stinks! And someone around you should tell you that you nag.

The same way someone around you can tell you claim humour to cover up spitefulness and you are vile.

ddippset:
With a sense of humour, I only said 'you be pastor, abi op wan knock ya hussle?' that was obviously with a great sense of humour, quite easily detectable by anyone particularly one who speaks(or writes as in this case) with a perceived sense of 'intellectual superiority' to others. So what is working you up só much with my comment? that is making me act like a nairaland class monitor

"Sense of humor...?"
That was far from what your post appeared to be.
Your post was clearly an attack.
Own your own words.
Don't downgrade it to now say "I was only joking"

You did not read the previous comments I made before writing that post and you hastily assumed I was annoyed with what the OP wrote as you had already automatically assumed I was a religious fanatic and the OP was 'spoiling my market'.

ddippset:
Your problem is this; you really do think you've got the monopoly of insults. Iam good at it too o! Be warned o! You better beat it now o! Hen!

'Monopoly' is as foreign to an open online forum as snow is to the Kaaba.
I know damn well I do not have monopoly.
But if you choose to act as class monitor on this thread, then I do not owe you politeness.

ddippset:
lol. Woman you don't even know whom you're talking to, you don't and probably wouldn't. I'd leave it at that.

Be rest assured I don't care to know.
Don't want to be contaminated with your level of ignorance.
Passing six no be passing sense.
Vamoose!

ddippset:
you be pastor abi? Op wan knock ya hussle abi? No worry, e nor go work!

Ignorance is really a big disease.
You did not even follow the previous discussion before jumping into hasty conclusions.
I'm sure you struggled to get 6 credits after 5 attempts at JAMB and also struggled to make a pass in Uni.

LEGALAide:
IT'S A SHAME YOU'RE A CHURCH GOER ALREADY!

Ignorant Ignoramus

LEGALAide:
Yet you (your pastors) never learn.
That's why it'll appear next Sunday even!
Until it sinks in properly!

Unfortunately your small 'mustard seed size'. mind has not grown enough to let you dechiper that anyone posting at that time on a Sunday morning is not an ardent church goer that regularly signs a pastor's attendance sheet.

papaking1:
Withdraw $500, upwork took $30. $470 got into my dorm account the next day. withdraw $400 and exchanged for 310
400 x 310 = 124, 000

when you compare this to the 230/240 that these guys use for us you will realize that to really maximize your earnings, you need to go get your self a dorm account.

I have even gone ahead to get myself a second dorm account with gtb. when you have a current account, getting a dorm is just a piece of cake. infact i opened my gtb dorm myself online with my token cos i already have a current account with them.

not trying to poise off, only trying to give a little back

.


Papaking1, do you use Freelancer.com as well? If you do a direct withdrawal like that on Freelancer, what charges will you incur from the site and your bank?

This tithing topic has been overflogged,overcaned,overwhipped,overkobokoed, and overwwhooped on Nairaland and every other Sunday, it will still makefront page news.

I TAYA!!!

Gifting an Suv to a woman who already has more than one and enough to afford more,

Me were dey waka for Leg here dem no come dash Motor

So they should have gifted her a private jet instead right? Since she doesn't have one yet?

sholizza29:
I placed a bid but I am yet to hear from you. This is my link https://www.freelancer.com/u/writerteeseo.html

If you submitted a proposal containing the information requested in the project description, I will get back to you. If you only placed a bid and nothing more, I will not consider your application.

I have responded to some applications and want to give a couple of days more before responding to the rest by tomorrow.

I noticed that most Nigerian writers who bid did not bother to write a proper proposal whilst 90% of the Indians that bid did. I have a preferrence for Nigerians but if we cannot be bothered with professionalism, no deal.

jennyff:
Fiverr expensive?? Please enumerate

I want articles written for me.
I don't want to make money writing articles.
So I want to be economical.

Martins301:
$5 per 500 words on Fiverr. Rajat07me the thief cornered me into writing for $1 Per 500 words and still put me in debt on Freelancer so I ran off

Lol! Abeg, forgive and forget Rajat07me.
Thanks for the info. I think Fiverr's rate is 'hexpensive' for me. I'll use Freelancer instead.

Project Closed....

Please I need your advice if you work on Freelancer.com

1) How much is average pay for a 500 - 700 word article?
2) How much is average pay for a 1,000 - 1,500 word article?

I need to post a job and want to know how to negotiate with prospective writers.

Cheers.

If it was their Nigerian Grandmother teaching them how to pound fufu, the picture won't be trending on the internet.

This is evidence that Kenyans have been watching too many Nigerian films.

sugarbelly1:
The striking resemblance cannot be over emphasized

They are both beautiful but there is no 'striking resemblance'.
The mom is obviously finer in my opinion.

No aid given to Nigeria reaches the people it is meant for.
So reducing or completely stopping it will only make a difference in the lives of the big men' who siphon it.
