Cheeky boy!!! Very funny ha ha ha ahaaaaaa

@Orikinla
Pardon me to disagree with your assertion that RCCG is the largest church in Nigeria when you do not have statistical evidence. Talk is free!

@Seun
If you want to go into photo comic production I think you should first study your target audience. Remember _{‘controversy’} I mean extra ordinary story sales. Good Humour tingled with some love and violence sales. What will stand out your comic will be slightly different form what moral theorist will commend, but then, you want to sale don’t you?

Papa Ajasco or Ikebe Super as it was known in comic move to TV production to celebrate their success as a comic. I personally think that photo comic is more difficult than TV production though the later is more cost intensive.

Start with a story that has the capacity of change to reflect any controversial ‘current’ issue of interest to your target audience. Remember, target a niche of the market and move up from there.

@Orikinla
Your points are well made although your exaggerations could be attributed to the passion with which you wrote.
I do not know your bif with City People, a paper I will never buy with my money though; but to compare the sales of a national ‘gossip’ magazine with your official church magazine, the Redemption Light is taking comparison too far. How did you get the statistics that RCCG is the largest church in Nigeria in the first place? Perhaps you meant largest Pentecostal Church. Be that as it may, I agree with you that a lot people including Nigerians could be very hypocritical, but not when it concerns how they spend their money. My observation is that people buy church magazine as an extension of their faith and not necessary for the quality of the materials therein, this in itself is somehow hypocritical if you will agree.

When the Tabloid newspaper ‘The Sun’ came out people never gave it a chance but with perseverance and well researched consistency and quality they were able to go from weekly to daily in a very short time. This was at a time when newspapers were dying for lack of sales and this one moved to be among the highest circulating newspapers

I think that anyone starting a photo comic with exceptional quality, after having done a good business development plan is bound to succeed. I think the youths and their parents can still be bought over by a very good work; afterall it took the crowing of Agbani as miss world to get parents to now sponsor their children to beauty pageants which was not the case before.

Panache:
Kazey's suggestion worked for me a couple of times. One important suggestion, though it might sound selfish, grab their domain name ASAP. One guy did that to one of my clients some years back. Best of luck

I like the highlighted bit up there, it is an extreme positioning and a suicide marketer will not think twice about it. If u can afford it, grab their domain name and use your spare time to develop something for them which you will keep improving till you are ready to go see the MD again. With your laptop you can give him a free show of what he will get including the domain name. Also note that some jobs can be done almost 4 free while targeting other fallout from it.
When next you meet the MD tell him a little of the story contained in your first post here, and how you want the hotel to be a landmark in your area. Don’t tell him anything about money but how you want that hotel to be in everybody’s mouth both in Nigeria and outside. Tell him you want the hotel to beat Sheraton, Hilton and other hotels in the same class.

The job is yours if you persevere.

sisibaby:
Well i hear you all-we all want to be properly married and have kids,thats the dream of any
girl but you must know that life is an irony and most things that happened are beyond human.I have a very good christian upbringing and when most of my mates were jumping around with the happening guys and aristos-i was hooked up to me books and my mummy moral standards and with their advice that men will come when you have achieve all your dreams and potentials.Today i have a very good credentials and  good job with manners and pedigree but what do i get,please just thank God for blessing you and don't assume its your own doing.

As you make your bed you lie. . . if you choose to change those standards you should also be ready for the pay off.

I did not originate this; but it got me thinking after reading the very long story . . . . . Some mature unmarried or divorced women in this forum try to paint ominous picture about marriage while discouraging the young women from going into it. Now this is a true life experience of an observant and realistic woman. . . . . Read on if you like a good and long story and make your comments after



How come there are so many unmarried girls everywhere? Thirty-five-year old beautiful and serious-minded girls single and the men have their backs turned against them? Well brought-up girls who work as hard as men, sometimes harder can no longer find husbands. The men have not relocated. In fact, they are single and available. To worsen my worries, there are weddings taking place, not just every Saturday but virtually on every day of the week. So why is the world full unmarried big girls?


I’m not so liberal or liberated (whatever that is supposed to mean) as to join those who say marriage is not the ultimate for a woman.
Marriage, of course, can be such a headache sometimes but it’s largely good. Trust me, I’ve been in it for 15 years and although once in a while I must confess I’d felt like running away, I like being married. I mean, just like the sun, what will I do without my husband?


Apart from all the nice things he does for me, whom will I quarrel with ever so regularly if not my husband? Who will I vent my anger on if I get a query in the office and who’d console me when I drive my car into a ditch once in a while?

A husband is ever so handy. Am I making husbands sound like some domestic hand? Well, if I’m the domestic ‘body’, why can’t my husband be the domestic ‘hand’. You know a hand and a body can do wonderful things together, non? Good.


I remember once when my husband was transferred to Abuja and the kids and I
had to live without him for first time. It was tough. It was then I realized I’d never until then had to go to the bank to pay school fees. I had never been to NEPA office to pay electricity bill. I didn’t know how to switch on the generator. I found I had to do more than buy fuel for my car for it to run. I had to deal with mechanics and plumbers. It wasn’t funny. Of course, the house was without electricity supply for two weeks.


As for the single motherhood thing, it’s attractive I think, if you consider the hassles of married life but it’s still a lonely life. You still need a constant warm body, somebody to poke fun at you and joke about your unwieldy waist. Not the occasional ‘husband’ you get as a single pregnant girl.

I hope this clears the air especially with those who have been sending me mails saying I’m misleading women.


Marriage is good, ordained by God and I believe it should be for keeps. I don’t believe in divorce either.

So back to where we started, why are there so many single girls above 35 when the men are still in town? Is it that the men are blind or the women don’t know where to look? Whatever, I’m going to talk to members of constituency and I’m not going to pull my punches.

Too many of my sisters growing old on the shelves made the wrong choices, took the wrong turns on the road and are today paying heavily for sins of their past.


Some of those choices may have sounded or felt right then but a right choice at the wrong time is still a wrong choice.

Let me share this with you. A female colleague of mine a few years ago
suddenly changed her wardrobe. She started wearing skimpy tops and trousers that left nothing to the imagination. She took to wearing waist beads and sometimes going bra-less. I called her as a concerned friend and asked what happened to decent dressing.


What did she hope to gain by flaunting her cleavage every day of the week. She said to me, ‘it’s what my fiancÈ wants.’ Not one for diplomatic lines on issues like that, I told her the guy had no plans for marriage or even one year with her beyond then.

I told her a man who wants a woman for a wife doesn’t tell her to bare her boobs for all to see. My poor friend didn’t know she wasn’t more than a intimacy gadget on display. She fell for her sick finance’s tricks. She was single then and is still single now.


I know girls must have fun but there is a time to draw the line and grow up. But not some of my sisters. They go into relationships that from day one are dumb stuff. What does a 25-year-old girl need flings for? A single woman is like an evening market, the time frame for searching is short, limited. If you know anything about village evening markets, you’d know that it does not last longer than three hours. Such is the ‘lifespan’ of a woman in search of marriage.

You make hay while the sun shines. A good girl with her head screwed on tight does not stay in or go into a relationship that’s not heading for the altar. Of what use is a man who can’t promise you forever? Why invest your precious years on a man who is not at the risk of that thing called menopause?


But not my sisters. They are into ‘aristos’ and married men
even at 37! It’s absolutely crazy. Some join harems of girlfriends and stay on the queue like idiots. Strike the iron while it’s hot and if you can’t heat up the iron, move on girl. A girl with marriage on her mind should date a man with marriage on his mind. If he wants a fling, let him go look elsewhere and parents, do tell your daughters that flings are for fools.

It is when a girl has misspent her youth that she begins to point accusing fingers in the direction of everybody but herself.


A woman who at 30 is in a relationship that can’t lead to marriage is an idiot. The one who at 32 is dating a married man is a bigger idot but the biggest idiot is the one dating an ‘aristo’ openly.

A male colleague told me of how he used to admire and pant after a female reporter who was a
great combination of brain and beauty. He told a few friends over a few bottles after production and they pulled his ears. "The beautiful brainy reporter belonged to the Managing Director and if you want to keep your job, leave the girl for the big boy upstairs," they told him. He was heart-broken but he took his friends’ advice.


Our brainy reporter stayed with the Managing Director for years. Everybody knew she was ‘spoken for’. All the eligible guys stayed clear of her. She warmed Oga’s bed. Oga kept his wife happy, made babies who today are all studying abroad. Our reporter has grown old. The eligibles have all gotten married. The M.D can’t marry her. She’s alone, single at 39 because she has been a fool for so long it’s almost too late to try wisdom. Whose fault is it that she’s not married?


And
there are things a single girl who intends to marry should not do or be caught doing. Why do some of my sisters think men with whom they drink beer with or smoke joints with will take them to the altar? Drinking alcohol in public or smoking joint openly is not really becoming of a ‘good girl’. Cocktail, yes. A glass of wine is classy but matching your male friends beer bottle for beer bottle & passing on joint is stupid. Trust guys, they will hail you for being a ‘hard girl’ but when they are drawing up the list of girls they can take home to ‘mama’, you are not a contender.


If you drink alcohol or do hard or soft drugs, you must not advertise it, girl. It’s top secret. Don’t be confused by men’s oh-so-sophisticated attitude, they know wife materials and girls who drink or smoke aren’t what they want.

What do you think
friends? My sisters need to have a rethink especially those who can still make amends. And guys, you can complete this piece by letting us know all those other things that you know have increased the population of single but successful girls.

Maki, I have sent it 2 you.
You know any of the babes

ok!

_we mis[b]se[/b]d _{you too, Genial probabily missed you more}

PHC girls are at it again.

An oyibo man in PHC lost a huge amount of money to some UNIPORT girls, and in revenge, has been circulating their nude pictures with their faces (XXXXrated) for a couple of days now.

has anyone seen them?

Got the mail Yesterday.
If those girls are UniPort girls for real then they are bleeped big tyme.
How much could they charge for the pose?

Orikinla:
That the Dollar should appreciate.

123?
ABC?

Ok! I read your abcd. My question is on this . . .

Orikinla:
I
I actually sowed $1 in our church some years ago and asked for a dollar account and now I have a good dollar account and I also asked for account in pounds and I also have it now.

is this the only reason why you want the dollar to appreciate?
can a coffin seller sow seed for people to die?

@ diddy4

Diddy you started well [b]respect is indeed reciproca[/b]l but why write with so much anger?
Are you mad at me for wanting a mutual respect amongst members here?
Would it not make the same meaning if you make your point in a hypothetical context?

Anyway to my question how do you think we could stop this antagonism? Remember I do not have any problem with anybody but, I ask because I have seen a lot of animosity in the forum.
