I used to criticize this pastors until I realized that the people who y'all claim have the right to spend their money they way they like because they made it by working hard for it are willingly giving it to the men of God.

Abi was it not recently that one church member built a 1 billion naira church in VGC for Winners Chapel? Just one church member! Was he compelled to? Hell NO! Imagine how many of such church members are giving the pastors money on a daily basis. Look, these guys are blessed. Let's leave it that way. If you can buy the latest edition of a car while your immediate neighbour is struggling to go to school and feed, then you are no different. Because we all have the same access to God. I don't pay my tithe because it's still a grey area for me. But don't disregard the gifts that these pastors get.

Everyone is accountable, so, if you know what is wrong, why don't you do the right thing instead? But of course, everyone wants to drive a BMW, forgetting that when you get up there too, you'll buy private jets without flinching while people around you are trying to survive.

dgbanj:
I so much agree with the OP but still long tail keyword SEO with little competition still works.

Oh yes they still work, but they are gradually fading away. Little competition means freshness. Google accepts that but the improvement on SEO AI rankings are getting very precise that the rankings are based on different criteria. While some focus on long tail keywords to boost SEO, Google Penguin could rank their sites based on headings, or traffic, or backlinks and that could mean a website with a little better outlook will rank better. Google is changing the game.

Also, put in consideration that when competition blogs/websites are under-performing, the best out of a bad bunch is put on the first page of Google - with relation to geo-location. It gets so bad that sometimes when you make a search in Nigeria, foreign websites are ranked on the frontpage before Nigerian websites. That's extremely criminal. So when few websites start to get it right, the others begin to drop in ranking

RemedyLab:
My blog is a month old; how do I get it right with SEO?

Okay, how much content do you have on your blog? That signifies if search engines qualifies your blog in order to crawl it effectively. I'm sure you understand the way Google works? Google has no content, they only have crawlers. These crawlers go through sites with content and provide them to users searching for similar content. So, the more content you have, the more tools Google has to work with. So if your blog is one month old, I'll concentrate on getting adequate and fresh content as SEO takes time. You are competing with millions of other blogs too. Don't worry about your niche. Focus on your content and when you have up to 50 or more well-written blog posts, then you can start the basic SEO practices:

1. Submit your blog to Google: Search on Google on how to submit your site to Google for crawling.

2. Have Social Media in check: FB, Youtube, Google+ (Google owns Google+ so your guess is as good as mine; they'll promote their own better).

3. When you post a content that you got from somewhere else, provide links: I don't advise that you post another person's content on your blog but if you have to, provide links to the original story. Your blog gets credit in the eyes of Google.

4. Use Nairaland: This is the biggest secret. Whether your blog post reaches the frontpage isn't necessary. Nairaland has a super domain popularity and a backlink from Nairaland will spike your SEO chances.

There are advanced methods but I'll like you to start and grow your blog first. Also these are early days, don't be worried about ranking good on SEO one month to your blog opening. keep it steady and blog for fun!

Ever since I saw the other thread on the OP thinking about closing his blog and others giving advice about SEO, I thought to start my own thread and point out some truths on SEO that your SEO specialist won't tell you:

1. Keyword Optimization is dying: Many 'SEO experts' will disagree with me but this is the plain truth. Say it all you want. Looking for keywords or phrases and inputting those keywords or phrases in your content will only do one thing; Get you blacklisted by Google. Have you wondered why you still don't rank well using the best keywords? That was so 2010.

2. Google Penguin is advanced level of AI ranking: Like I said in the other thread. The guys at Google are not dumb. They've figured out a way to discredit SEO mongers or experts (people who try to beat the SEO system rapidly to rank higher). Now, Google Penguin (Google's new search Algorithm) will deliver different search results to different users searching the same keywords. The criteria for ranking content now is quite dynamic and based on many factors - including previously visited sites and location. So don't take what your SEO expert tells you to heart.

3. Domain Popularity RULES: Ladies and gentlemen, as a 6 year experienced SEO lover, I can tell you for a fact that old domains will still deliver better ranking than newly registered domains. If you have a domain that you registered a long time ago, I'd advise you to dust it up, load your website and content and you'll get better rankings than when you just buy a new domain. You can also buy expired old domain bundles and redirect them to your website and watch your rankings soar. I can show you how.

4. If you start a Blog to be like Linda Ikeji, you'll get frustrated: This is common sense. The golden blogging days are long gone! Google went back to the drawing board and brought back the essence of blogging - which is to talk about the things that you love. Blogs have suffered a dip in rankings over the past 2 - 3 years and it was deliberate. See why all those lazy bloggers are suffering even though they are doing the exact same thing as the popular blogs? When you blog because of passion and not keywords or traffic, Google will identify you and give your blog a boost. it's that simple!

5. Freshness gladdens Google's heart: Keep this at the back your your mind. Google always seeks to bring the best and freshest content to readers searching. Rather than looking for what people are searching and keywords, look for what people aren't searching but will be helpful. Create content consistently that Google rarely sees and watch your domain get popular - even for content that people search for. This is systematic. Your domain popularity can be achieved by posting very fresh content and mixing it up with content that people search for. Your domain rank increases and you perform better in search engines.

6. Social Media is KING but you need to know how to use it: It's not just about posting links from your blogs on social media. Naah, that age is fading quick. Social media - rather than getting you the little 20 visits per day, can rank you higher than your peers on search engines. You need to explore the main social media that always stare directly at us but yet, we never notice. Google+ and Youtube! These sites are capable of shooting your blogs/websites in such a short time. Don't blame the SEO experts, no one wants to do that much of a work.

7. Traffic is SO IMPORTANT, but how you get that traffic matters: Take this honest advice. Getting 20 views per day consistently, is far better than getting 500 views on one day and moving to 0 the next day. What that tells Google is that you were fraudulent in getting that traffic and your site could be blacklisted. This means that you won't rank again. Don't engage in blackhat SEO techniques and generate random backlinks that are not particularly related to the niche that you are providing content on. Google isn't number 1 for fancy. Only make sure you link or are linked to sites that share similar niches to your niche. Sites that provide a flow of content and engagement.

In summary, there's no hard and fast rule to ranking on search engines. Keep doing that blogging but please take away the mindset of making money off it when you could become an authority in your field. Do it because you love it.

Craigbrown4076:


Lol.. .well i am a learner myself, all you need is to do is search for a particular keyword within your niche and use a keyword planner tool to get longe tail keywords that you could rank for ( by ranking i mean going for keywords that have comparatively low monthly searches) and a relatively high CPC ( let's say $1.00 to $3.00). Although ranking may take some time, you have to be patient and make sure you write good posts. That's why i left the entertainment niche... it's over saturated and its CPC is very low. Watch various YouTube videos for tutorials.

I hope I was able to help.

Cc webincomeplus please come and enlighten us.

Ranking doesn't work like that no more. Heard of Google Penguin? Google now uses a dynamic and fluid algorithm for ranking what a user sees on his/her search results. Two users searching for the exact same keyword can get two different Google results. Keyword optimization should be natural and fresh and your page can be negated due to over-optimization. Synonyms are ranked now alongside keywords.

Again, Google loves fresh content. Research on content that hasn't been posted before. Post fresh content, provide links when necessary and be Google's friend. It's that easy. You have to be as natural as possible. I don't advise always looking at traffic. Traffic measurement should be in relation to time.

If only you can stick to the essence of blogging in the first place. The guys at Google aren't dumb and they want you to blog - about the things you love. There's no success or failure in it. Just go back to the basics, post content that inspires you and watch how Google becomes interested in your blog.

Sigh. The bible though! Both sides of the argument are right there in the bible. Which way nah?

JSMMUYIWA:

Your last statement?
Sentiment-filled.
When Messi was winning 5 he was the best ryt?

Lol. An award is given to the best for a period - which Ronaldo deserves 100%. There's no coach that is happy playing against Messi. Not because he can score goals but because he can create the chances that Ronaldo can only dream of. This is not being sentimental. With Messi's poor running last season, he created the highest number of goal chances amongst the top 5 leagues. Goals run dry (reason why Ronaldo is sweating this season) but Messi is not - even though he's experiencing a drought too.

Also, Remember Messi achieved his balloon d'or consistently with players like Xavi, Iniesta, Pirlo, Robben, Ribery, Buffon, Ibra, Rooney, Eto etc at the peak of their careers. Ronaldo is winning it with only Neymar at his peak. That should tell you something.

cameeeeel:
these were also ur words last season until d guy of moment surprised you by scoring Ten (10) Goals in between Quarter finals ND finals of Uefa Champions league... mind you he scored the goals against the great goalkeeper in Buffon, Oblak nd Neuer.... nd broken d solid wall of Atletico nd Juventus defence. he is already leading scorers in dat famous champions league competition wit Nine goals nd also set record by scoring in all six group games of the competition... wait for him to guide Madrid with his goals to another Champions League victory this season... even if he missed out on domestic competition of LA Liga nd Copa Del Rey...the most prestigious award.. Ballon D'Or will deservedly be for him again...though I see World Cup has little distraction or threat to that...if Portugal do not win it. Be educated.

See you talking like he was the only one against Bayern, Juventus, Atletico Madrid. He scored the goals, good. But the engines and propellers are not recognized. Madrid deserved the ballon d'or as a unit and not Cristiano alone based on Champions league and La Liga performances. Cristiano has been on a sharp decline since 2014 as Madrid did well even without him last season. Go check his stats. Morata, Isco, Vasquez were firing on all cylinders. Messi, on the other hand has not been particularly lucky as the Barcelona bench is as ordinary as a Crystal Palace team. Messi has also been on a decline but has changed his game from goals to assists and chances created. Deep down you know these.

So, balloon d'or, Cristiano deserves to win everything based on his team but best in the world? Messi is the G.O.A.T!

The best players don't win awards every time.

@martineverest You are completely right and no one should sway your thinking. These big companies with localized operations have very terrible Public Relations personnel and agencies. They usually believe that the product sells itself and so, no comment can damage their sales.

What Mr. Marketing Manager has done there is to discourage we Nigerians from patronizing coke/fanta/sprite and while many argue that it was done to sell their Five Alive products, he has also opened the channel for juice competition - helping in marketing the likes of Chi (Which Cocacola owns a large share) and many other juice companies. It almost seems like no problem but, Cocacola makes almost 80% of their profits from selling coke/fanta/sprite till date. It is very criminal to allow this kind of headline go out to the public. It is a press conference and unveiling of new Five Alive products, comments should be entirely focused on juice and not carbonated products - except if Mr. Marketing Manager was referred to as the Marketing Manager of Five Alive and not Cocacola. That's why companies get different Brand/Marketing Managers for different products. This is simple PR 101. You don't need to go to school to learn this.

Vigorously protect what brings you money!

Shame!

A second glance at this thing, I don't think tithes are enough to acquire the assets and liabilities that these pastors have in fairness to them. I still am not convinced that I should pay tithe but tithe money can't do the things these guys are doing. I believe that people pay seeds in anticipation of a miracle or as thanksgiving. Jimoh Ibrahim dropped $1m when Covenant Uni was being built.

spongeisback:
Next year February Nigeria will be the country with the highest numbers of POOREST people in the world and for the past weeks all this men can talk about is tithe? Freeze has been talking about corruption, the state of our roads, poor health facilities and poverty but all you pastors can talk about is tithe?!?!?!

Nigerians this is a wake up call. We've tried their false promises of "God will fight for you " nothing is happening. Let's take our country back and make it what we want.

Your pastors are in bed with politicians.

I don't believe I should tithe but don't make up stories. Freeze is right on tithing. But how many times have you seen Freeze talk about the state of our country or politicians? He can't because he's one of them. I know for a fact that Freeze collects personal funds to interview you on his program. If that's not corruption, I don't know what is.

Plasmbob1:
Calm response but with all due respect sir, the fact that freeze isn't a pastor doesn't mean he can't have a say if he smells a rat in the way most churches are being run today. Paul rebuked Peter even though the latter was with Jesus throughout.

The Gospel has been hijacked by thieves in suit and if not checked, Christianity is sitting on a time bomb.

On the tithe issue, I think it's what you believe in that eventually works for you. I don't pay and when I'm broke I simply accept the situation, same when I earn a few bucks. I don't attribute it to a certain seed sowed. If you notice a correlation between your finances and tithe paying, better don't stop.

The bolded explains everything bruh! Look, what sets God above everyone else is the ability to create a world in which every living being creates his own reality. Whatever you hold a genuine believe in, will work for you. No matter what it is. That's why Jesus always asked before he healed people if they believed.

Just when I thought our politicians were sent straight from hell. These pastors ehn...

NairaSand:


All I'm saying is these advices should be an advice and not a "rule".....honestly I don't want to understand the circumstance for your loyalty. It's a most likely a "personal" thing.



We have seen "employers and recruiters" ignore candidates for asking for a month notice (to resume work). Threads are all over nairaland!!!
It's a "better" job when the new pay is times 5 what I was earning (especially when the other take home can't take you home). Trust me on this!



Baba.....all of us (employees and employers) lack ethics in this country, it's not a one way thing.

Say the same for you "employers"
Why on earth will you "employ" someone without a signed contractual agreement. That is a fvcking disgrace.


If your brother or sister works a N25,000 salary job (as a graduate from the best university in Nigeria) on the Island and lives on the mainland,
when he/she is called to resume a N250,000 salary job, come up with narrative on why he need to attain an "indispensable" status when he can't afford proper meal!!!

Employers pay wicked stipend (I won't even call it salary) and expect loyality!!! Get some decency and pay people's worth and see if they won't work their ass off!!!

You are right and I quite agree with what you just said. However, let's face it. Employees don't have a price. At least from where I stand. If you offer the kind of value that an employer needs, he'll pay you what you request for. The problem I've seen with employees nowadays is that, no money is ever enough for their work. The same employee complaining of 25,000 will complain when he starts earning 250,000. The complaints change. I have been there!

Also in this economy, the companies are being stifled and drained. Taxes, office rents, running costs, then salaries. It takes a whole lot to manage a company in Nigeria. It all boils down to value. Mere typing stuff and routine jobs will only get you a paycheck. However, offer an employer tangible value and watch your growth. Our employees wait for a bigger pay to work better, which of course never works right because the tasks are bigger. I know a driver who is now a graphic design artist for a very large company with his salary tripled in a couple of months.

By the way, I'll say it again. A bigger pay doesn't necessarily mean a better job. Ask some experienced employees and they'll explain better to you.

NairaSand:




If the op got called up for a 'better' job barely 2 months into her new job, under no circumstance is a one week notice tenable. I don't care what was involved. You think employment for a position happens by the snap of your fingers? You'll even look professional to request for a one month notice for your current employers if offered a job. No company will turn down the request. And I'll have you know that because a job offers higher pay doesn't necessarily mean it's a better job.

Our work ethics are very poor in this part of the world and it's affecting our outputs and capability. You belong to the group of people who always think that companies are out there to use people when in actual fact, you are the kind of people who, rather than work to earn your pay, use the company's facilities to update your cv and search for other jobs.

Not a rule but a guide that almost never fails. So don't be sad if the circumstances for your employers 'cheating' you are personal to them too.

Is it the state of the country that is affecting people's thought pattern? I don't like Daddy Freeze but your post just made me like him a little. When a private jet costs almost 1000% more than a car. Please why do they need to travel upandan when they have the internet to preach to people. Must you be present? Do you know what 4.2 billion naira is and can do to the lives of others?

Nathaniel Bassey had a session for a couple of days this year and he was about to reach over 50,000 people all across the world. From his house with a 12,000 naira internet modem.

Don't annoy me!

Allsmyles:


I'd suggest you talk based on the info you have. Simply ask and you'll get answers. When i got the job, what i had in mind was nothing less than 6months before searching for another (that is if i see no prospect there) but then i got called for an interview (a job i applied for a long time ago and had taken my mind off it) with better opportunities. I got the job and that was the week my former employer came up with lots of new policies that were so uncomfortable for all her staff. What would you have me do? What would be your advise if i were your kid sis? Would i have stayed there to be a good girl only to get paid on the 26th of the next month? C'mon, things aint done that way. No one in his/her right senses would have stayed in such a place when there is a better offer (unless of course your village people are dancing round fire for your downfall).

Now, what else do you have to say?

Look, there were a million and one better ways to handle cases like this. You're not the first person and will clearly not be the last to undergo this kind of issue. One week notice is a No-No. Under any circumstances. If your new employer asks you for a reference letter from your current company, they won't have good things to say about you. Loyalty isn't all about staying with the company even when you get the chance to move on to better things. It also shows when you have the company at heart and can walk into the company anytime and be warmly welcomed. What happened to writing the company with your intentions to move base and still offer your services diligently to ensure smooth transition? You barely walked out of a job that you applied for. I can also tell you for a fact that you are not the first person to do that to the company. That's why they were 'prepared' for you.

What I'm telling you is the exact same thing I'll tell my kid sister or my child. I've witnessed too many examples of people who have followed this path, only to learn painfully in the future. Likewise, I've witnessed cases of people who maintained a good relationship with their seemingly terrible companies only to be thankful for it in future. Always be friends with your previous employers!

NairaSand:


Why do you people think you have life figured out?

It's okay if you felt okay to be loyal to an employer. That is your personal problem.....it sure is.

You just come with narratives as if you know the circumstances of the OP, as if you knew what the job entails, as if you knew what personal issues she has(or had).

Work, remain loyal and earn trust of a Nigerian employer Trust me when I say you are way over your head! Please do us a favor and save the advice for your kids when they start coming.

I sure hope you pay your bills with work, loyalty and trust

And what makes you think that you understand the circumstances for my loyalty?I'm certainly sure you don't pay your bills by working hard and being loyal. You need to sit down and be humble when people who have gone ahead of you try to give advice. The most successful employees were not the ones that jumped from one work to another. A couple of my friends have attained 'indispensable' statuses at their workplaces - in this same Nigeria that you talk about. They earned it!

If the op got called up for a 'better' job barely 2 months into her new job, under no circumstance is a one week notice tenable. I don't care what was involved. You think employment for a position happens by the snap of your fingers? You'll even look professional to request for a one month notice for your current employers if offered a job.

I see you dont mind dieing in a particular place. I saws a opportunity while on the job and i got the job. Would i have stayed to be tagged a good person?

Dying in one place is not the point. You didn't see an opportunity, you went in SEARCH of an opportunity barely 2 months after you got a job. That's disloyal and unethical. When you work for an employer, you deserve to give your best and not just use his company as a stepping stone for another job (this was clearly what you did). Like someone said, you are not growing and gathering experience with this mentality, you are only moving up and down.

I'm an employer of Labour and I can assure you that if myself and a growing list of employers are going to employ you, you'd have to explain to me why you were changing jobs rapidly in less than 6 months. Does not show someone who's stable. When I was starting out my career, I was told to sign a 2 year bond with a company. I thought it was ridiculous but I understand better now. Now recently I was trying to convince a very good marketing person to switch jobs and work for my company but she refused because she just started work where she was. That should teach you something!

Work, remain loyal and earn trust. Then you'll earn your pay. Nothing comes easy!

Joy83:
I am afraid but I just have to tell you the truth: you can't get your money back, especially where no contract signed as you stated. Just let go and count as experience since it is obvious to them you have moved on to another job.

That is the modus operandi in most small firm. The same thing happened to me sometimes last year. I was a month at a job, I didn't write resignation letter, but I left to new job at the beginning of the new month while expecting pay from my former employer before dropping letter. A loyal colleague just called me to ask if I got paid because others have gotten theirs, I said No. This is because they have noticed my movement towards the month end.

That day I took permission from my new place to go my former place next day, under the excuse that they needed me to put the person resuming my role through on some task activities. The next day like this, early in the morning, I worked very hard, pretended as if I am still fully part, gave excuse for my absent, wrote boss an email around 11:50am that "I feel neglected among staff as others have received salary and I am the only one yet to receive. It makes me feel I am not part of the organization" bla bla bla... He challenged me on some basis which I responded, and within the next 10minutes, I received alert. He gave me some new tasks to work on and even transfer money to execute some tasks, I said Yes, even why I am drafting my resignation letter. Gbam, at the close of work, I dropped the letter, no time to even wait for reply as it did not matter. Next day, I transferred back the money sent to me to execute some tasks.

They kept postponing, so no official offer letter signed.

Lesson: Know who you are dealing with and How to deal with them (Smartness).

Very wrong advice. I'm sorry but you can't be teaching employees this. No wonder the level of non-challancy in the workplace is alarming. Look, workplaces are not playgrounds. Do things according to the books so that you are legally covered. Would you be happy if you owned a company and your staff constantly devise 'smart' ways to cheat you? And when I mean cheat, I sincerely mean it in every word. You don't deserve pay if you work just one month in a company and leave because you got another job. You never gave your best to your employers. That's what they pay you for.

Allsmyles:
Dear All, I need every advice i can get here.
I got a job with an accounting company and worked for 2 months (i got another job before the 2nd month ended).
Meanwhile, throughout my stay there, i was not given any offer letter to sign.
When i got this new job, i asked my new employer to give me 1 week in order for me to close up on a few jobs and submit my resignation letter. In other words, i gave 1 week notice before leaving.
Other staff of the former company received their September salary just last week. I called to ask for mine and the excuses i have been getting are:
*You did not give due notice so you'll forfeit your salary since you signed the contract (which i did not).
*You did not close up your accounts which is one of the criterium for getting paid (this actually came up during my last week there).

Now i have explained to the woman that i did not sign any of such contract and so the rules are not binding on me but she is insisting on not paying me. Infact, she is not picking my calls, she has been sending me text messages.

The pay is small, yes, but i do not think i deserve such treatment.
Why did i not just leave without notice and get paid for 1 week at my new place (would have been something at least).
Please i need advise on how to go about this because i need my money,it is small but it will buy me somethings.

If need be, i do not mind dropping her full name and company's name here. She is doing this to all of us that have left which i feel is cheating.

Mods, kindly move to the promised land.

You are a wicked person to be honest. Just imagine if people got jobs and in 2 months, left their jobs to go somewhere else - and gave only one week notice. You don't put in consideration, the company who employed you for a role. When they were getting used to you, you pick up your bags and leave. Yet, you come here and cry wolf. You never put all your effort in that company because immediately you got the job, you started looking for the next one. That's very poor work ethic. Well, first of all, there was no contract so no evidence of work. Secondly, you should be thankful that your current employer isn't asking for a reference letter from your previous employers.

I hope you're not already looking for another job

Speaking good English is no criteria for being educated. Timi has a very good point and the other 'people' who responded are a reflection of our modern day heroes. So empty and uneducated.

People go into marriage with the notion that it's okay to get a divorce. Guess what? The divorce will come. After you swear an oath. Look, if both parties can just be responsible and understand that marriage isn't all about love and lust, marriages will be better of. You don't need to be in a marriage for 10 years to use your common sense. If you engage in domestic violence, be matured enough to seek help and if you are a serial cheat, be matured enough to stop.

But what do we get, people castigating the young man because their marriages have failed woefully, which I believe they caused with this their shameless mentality. The other one, who to me shouldn't be regarded as a public figure. But what do I know?

Well, I love to comment on topics like this because I've experienced a couple of interviews and I own a company. HR Managers need help! You don't expect to be trained by incompetent people and you'll be competent. It's not possible. Even in so-called big organizations, there's a gross level of incompetence.
An interview process is not an examination where right or wrong answers are identified. It can't be! Are you a right fit for us? That should be the question.

Konami94:


The cheque is in PSG's name, otherwise Neymar would not be regarded as the most expensive transfer in world. Instead it would be counted as a free transfer. So technically, PSG has spent €222m even if its not their own money. Regarding Verratti, only time would tell. Verratti is a deeplying playmaker, Coutinho is an attacking midfielder. PSG would not be stupid enough to put an attacking player in central midfield because its going to upset the balance of the team.

The transfer was made to barcelona by Neymar's lawyer bro. All I'm saying is PSG still has a transfer budget and could sign any player they wish. Irrespective of whether Coutinho is signed or not, that Brazil influence in PSG is unveiling itself gradually. Same thing happened with world cup winners Italy in 2006, where all players in the italy squad were playing in the italian league (Juventus, Milan, Roma), Spain in 2010 (where most of their players had played together in Barcelona and Real Madrid), Germany in 2014 with most of their players in Bayern.

Konami94:

You guys and your conspiracy theories. PSG is not a "Brazillian footballers association". PSG has no interest in Coutinho, and certainly won't be selling Verratti for him. Lucas Moura isn't a starter by the way. Front 3 would be Di Maria, Neymar and Cavani with Draxler and Lucas as backups. And PSG cannot afford anymore transfers after this deal because of financial fair play.

Bro, calm down. This isn't conspiracy theory. PSG signed Neymar for free oga because Neymar became a free agent. Neymar paid out his own release clause by himself with the 300 million euros given to him by the Qatar arm heading PSG for image rights for the 2022 Qatar World cup. He is officially the ambassador of the Qatar 2022 world cup and he was paid now. Doing so, PSG bypassed the Financial Fair Play which partly states that a club cannot spend what they don't earn. That was why people said PSG made a mockery of the FFP. Have you been taught now?

PSG still has their transfer budget intact and could make big name signings still by signing Coutinho without breaking any rules.

Lucas Moura may not be a starter now, but will eventually play with his brazilian teammates whenever he plays. Verratti opted for Raiola who we know is a superstar for negotiating huge amounts for his players and the move was perceived as a move to force his way out of PSG. I believe that Raiola will contact Barcelona soon to discuss Verratti. I insist that this is a gathering for the World cup in 2018.

As a Barca fan, I really don't care if Neymar joins PSG. I won't be surprised if this is a Brazil agenda to win the world cup in 2018 and then Neymar winning the balloon d'or. Since balloon d'or is focused on the World Cup of that year. Look at it:

Alves knew Neymar will agree to join PSG, that was why he turned to PSG. PSG convinced him.
Neymar already signed for PSG.
Neymar is convincing Coutinho to join PSG. This is simple, Coutinho is Barcelona's second choice.

I won't be surprised if PSG sparks rumours of Coutinho joining them. This will unsettle Verratti (Barca's first choice) and he'll force a move to Barca and Coutinho may just become a PSG player.

Now, PSG will be laden with Brazilian first team starters. (Thiago Silva, Marquinhos, Lucas Moura, Dani Alves, Neymar). If PSG gets Coutinho, Brazil is complete and they will play like that for a whole year - gaining chemistry and an edge over other countries ahead of the World Cup.

Neymar may just win the ballon d'or in 2018 if their plan actualises.

Stupidity in high places!

This is the most bizarre and dumbest thing I've heard. So why doesn't Freeze 'dress like Jesus'? Why does he dress more like the pastor? Why does he wear expensive wristwatches and show them off? Did Jesus do so? Of course his congregation will always support him.

Humanity is going extinct with this toxic and shallow way of thinking. If you notice closely, Freeze has been supporting this Hushpuppi guy ever since he started gaining 'onlinewaves' by dissing celebrities. Of course to appear like his friend and gain favours from him. This is not about Christianity or following the bible, it's about his quest to be in the 'good books' of Hushpuppi.

I hate pastors taking advantage of people but this is just plain stupid. We are a lot wiser than this.

But people, is it correct for one married woman to enter another woman's marriage and tell her to get out? What is the world coming to? I still can't understand this!
