God bless you. I wouldn't have said it better.

Namaster:
The so-called "elite education" he enjoyed in the UK clearly did NOT work because the guy is still DULL.

Because, how else would someone INTERPRET what is clearly an attempt by an ILLEGITIMATE Military Regime to CONTROL what the masses learn in order to CONSOLIDATE power as a SUPERIOR way to improve education.

Plus, ANYBODY who's NOT just a blind HATER of their own country can see that education in Nigeria, especially Tertiary Institutions, have been on an UPWARD trajectory in the past decade.

Nigerian schools are BREAKING into rankings they'd NEVER entered before.
Nigerian scholars are leveraging NEW and IMPROVED learning facilities to produce VALUABLE researches.

People who have NEVER read a research paper in their LIVES keep shitting on their country.

Imagine a NON-MILITARY government in Nigeria BANS the movement of PRIVATE individuals in pursuit of education, the UK-education that this MOOMOO used to define himself as a "pseudo-elite" would have been IMPOSSIBLE.

And if a Military Government did INSTITUTE something like that, Nigerians would have to DEAL with the UNCHECKED, UNBRIDLED and UNCURBED excesses of the Nigerian Military.

And we KNOW how brutal the CRIMINALS in uniform can be.

Nigerian Education still has a LOOONG way to go.
Improvements are NECESSARY.
Maybe even a total OVERHAUL.

But using the actions of an ILLEGITIMATE Military GOONS as an excuse to SHEET on your own country is just STEWPID.

Please enlighten me more..

It's the Asian version of the Yaris

Deigofortune:
Pls who knows the Rugglity of this Car (Toyota Vios 2010) in all Clarification

need your expert advice in terms of:

1.Cost of Maintenance
2. Fuel Economy
3. Availability of Parts
4. Durability/Reliability/Ruggedness
5. Challenges

Toyota Vios has a lot in common with Yaris.

Cyberknight:
Very true.
Apart from buying and selling, true entrepreneurs as you hear about in other climes are few and far between these days.

This is not correct. In the USA, small businesses employ 47.3% of the entire private workforce. A total of almost 60 million people. In fact, small businesses account for over 60% of new jobs created yearly in America.

Hello everyone,
I need your assistance on this matter. I got a mail from Payoneer that they will delete my Uk Account from Nov 19th and they've provided me with the new Uk GBP Account details so I head on to update the new GBP Account details to my KDP but Amazon Kindle rejected it saying that the Swift/ Bic codes ought to have 8-11 digits as against what Payoneer provided in my Account.
Close to 2 weeks now I had been trying to get in touch with Payoneer Customer care to resolve this matter but not possible because everything is Auto response and the answers I'm getting does not address the issues. I sent mail, call and live chat too is not available.
Please anyone that know how I can contact Payoneer support to resolve my query should please show me the way o. I don't want to miss my Uk GBP payouts. Please help me. All the gurus in the house should advice me on this matter.
Thank you.

Why are you adding the UK account? You only need to add the USA account and it will work for all marketplaces.

Avast:
Boss, do you still train people on KDP?

I am interested

No I've stopped

emmanuelewumi:
That is good, hope you were able to buy substantial units.

Yes I did.

emmanuelewumi:
It was a pleasant surprise yesterday afternoon

59k was paid, no withholding tax.


How much did you buy yours?

Thanks for replying. It was a really nice surprise indeed. 59 Kobo is 17% DY for me, at per with my Zenith.
I'm rolling it back when the price falls hopefully later in the year.
I bought at N3.43 several months ago when you mentioned it.
Thanks for opening our eyes.
May the Lord bless and continue to keep you .

emmanuelewumi:
What was the dividend paid for 2019.

@emmanuelewumi please, can you confirm how much dividend UPDC REIT paid yesterday. My calculations came up with 59 Kobo or 65.5 Kobo per share (taking 10% tax into consideration). I need to be sure.

Grupo:
Are you still into publishing as a whole? Or you have moved to something else?

Publishing is still my day job.

Crayfish09:
@Oga MK82. You publish through smashwords, please how do you withdraw? They only pay via PayPal which has banned Nigerians.

I no longer use them. Then they used to allow payment through Payoneer if you cross a particular threshold (can't remember the amount now).

oluwaleokey:
Talking about being frugal, sometimes i really find it difficult being stingy with some things...

I dont care about material stuffs... designers clothes, watches etc
But when it comes to my children education,healthy food, supplements etc i tend to even spend more than my budget, i mean get the very best...
Would you still consider my actions to be reckless spending when there are cheaper alternatives?

A typical example during wifeys pregnancy, i go for the best foreign pregancy drug which cost about 8-9k per pack while the local drugs at federal hospital can be gotten at 500 naira per pack... of course people do take...

Just want to understand you perfectly well when you say being frugal

Frugality cannot standalone. You shouldn't be frugal just for the sake of being frugal. It must be towards an end.
Your level of the practice of frugality is determined by your financial/investment plan and projections, the stage you are on those plans as well as your type of business/occupation.
Depending on how you get money, you should have a percentage or amount set aside at regular intervals to invest towards growing your net worth. Once you've met this target for that period, you can decide to be less frugal with the excess money after meeting your basic needs and responsibilities. The rate of accumulation of wealth is directly proportional to how much of your income you are able to invest periodically.

Take for instance a vehicle purchase. Buying a 1.5M tokunbo car may "eat into" Mr. A's investment capital while it will enhance Mr B's status and help him to do better business
The said Mr A could decide to wait for a year or two during which the 1.5M has aided the growth of his investment and be in a financial position to buy a more expensive car without disrupting his financial plan.

It's easy to be thrift once you get rid of negative/unsupportive social influence. If you want to succeed financially, you must learn not to "send" anybody or greatly reduce the number of people you "send"

ambitiouschap:
Thank so much, it's niche research I saw there and I want keyword research. I mean hiwto select search term my book will show for . And how to get good keyword to put in the 7 box.

Just type your main keyword in the Amazon search box and you will see similar search terms drop down under it just like on Google. Those are the other keywords to add.

ambitiouschap:
Morning boss, can you please refer me to where you talk about keyword research.

I have search for it but couldn't see it.

Baba hi, please I got to know about kdp through this your thread and I have already uploadef 10 books but I am confused on DRM option.

After about 25days with on one sale. I am wondering if not tampering with the way DRM is set has been the reason for it. My books are being freely downloaded but one sale since 24th of December.

Should I always leave the DRM option the way I meet it.

Thanks

DRM has nothing to do with your book's ability to get sales.

Goalnaldo:
How long does the verification of the tax information take? Its annoying me.

I think you chose to receive paper form. Start the process again and choose electronic submission. It's instant.

logadims:
please, can someone still make it on Kindle?

Yes

IamPlato:
when opening a payoneer account do I use nigeria

Yes, and the same name on your Amazon account.

pls,I just wrote a book and wanting to start publishing after all I have heard.
My question is....1: is it a must to add table of contents in my book?the book doesn't have too many pages, and for each points I surround the writeups on, they have few pages or not what I will consider as chapter worthy and I don't want to do that since it seems adding table of contents will make you add chapters too...i think.

2,I am using my phone from editing, typing, converting to epub,cover design, and hopefully publish....pending when I get a new system, can this work?

3,since in kindle they don't have back cover only front cover design, where does one write the about the author, is it compulsory?
P.s,I don't even want to.

Pls help a brother and respond.

-If the book is at least a few thousand words, you can add table of contents. You don't have to call them chapters. Just write each topic line by line in the TOC. E.g.
Introduction
First Step
Second Step
etc
-Your smartphone can work but it's going to be tedious and difficult to spot errors.
-About the author is not necessary.

Hello Sir
I don't seem to find the category of this book when viewed. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07W5SP78R/ref=pd_rhf_se_p_img_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=QJFBGGYMHCF69TX2H7MY


I have chosen different category yet when I view the book, I don't see it been displayed.

The categories will show when the book starts selling.

myjourneysofar:
My loyalty sir.
After reading a lot I decided it is time to take a step.

I outsourced a 10500 words and published the book on the 9th.

I did 3days promo and I am having nice downloads, which I am impressed.

But the book came out just 43 pages.

Also, I am seeking for a good narrator for royalty share do you have any to recommend?

How do I gain more exposure for my book.

Congrats on your new book. I don't have a narrator to recommend.

jefy:
hello bro, i will need clarification on this. Wouldnt a pen name affect your main registration on kdp as well as transactions? Cos,i guess we are advised to use our real name so it will match with our bank acct details for easy transaction. I would prefare a pen name than using my real name. Please someone should speak extensively on this. Thanks

Pen names have nothing to do with the name in your account (your real names). Pens names are strickly for your books. A pen name is just a way to give buyers of the book the kind of author name they expect for the type of book you have created. It's also a sensible approach when you have books on different unrelated topics.

Amazon and other publishing platforms deal with your real person when it comes to account issues, payments etc. But they know you are the one behind those pen names.

Tzadeola:
Please sir I just want to ask smtn were can someone source materials for ones book ?

Authority websites on the topic, PDFs, paperback books
Check as many sources as you can to confirm the authenticity of the information.

eliok:
How do you launch apart from free promo

The answer is in the post you quoted. I create ONLY keyword based books. They propagate naturally and start selling within a few hours or days.

anneboleyn:
What if i dont have money to run facebook and other ads in promoting my ebook? Is there still a way to market the ebooks to a wider audience and thus be able to make sales? For should i forget about kndle epublishing without funds for running ad campaigns?

You don't need to run any type of advert to promote your book. Just ensure it is a keyword based book. Keyword based books start selling within days sometimes within a few hours of publishing.

deafeyez:
Morning Sir
Please can you give a niche to write on in non fiction. I have food recipe but then I need another.
Thank you for the help over the years.

Just so your research very well, you will discover hidden gems.

Dollarseeker:
my table of content is very expository. can anyone see my table of content when they have not purchased the book? or they will need to purchase before they can see my table of content... pls its important?

Potential buyers can see your TOC by simply clicking on the cover of the book. Amazon has a "Look Inside" feature for books.

Dollarseeker:
mk82

Yes, you have to add table of content.
