It is clear to the blind, audible to the deaf. But unfortunately, Buhari is going no where. He would rather plunge the country into chaos than leave without a fight. The signs are there. The guy has never pretended to be either gentleman or a Democrat. |

ghostwritter: This trend will help u https://www.nairaland.com/1499182/making-regular-income-publishing-amazon/11 That guy MK82 makes more than N3million naira a month from publishing on amazon and createspace. With over 150 books. He has 6 writers that are graduates working for him that he pays 45k per month. So it is no exaggeration. Okadabooks can never give the kind of money amazon will give u. But avoid plagiarism by all means else, your account will be terminated. Like I said earlier, non-fiction books are the ways to breakthrough fast. Just patiently read through his trend and start publishing. |

As u publish on okada books, do well to spread ur tentacles to Amazon kdp.amazon.com and createspace.com if u want to survive as a self publisher. Remember, Nigerians don't have a reading culture. Finally, to survive on amazon and make six digit figure quickly, don't do fiction. Use ur narrative skills to write non fictions and publish as much books as possible. Then u will be able to see real money, not all these suffer on okada books. |

Education / Re: History Is Back In Nigerian Schools. by obamartins(m): 8:57am On Aug 04, 2017 |
Why did they remove it in the first place if not to hide the injustices that sustains a section of the country. I still have a feeling the curriculum will be watered-down with lies and half-truths to divert discuss on the real issues abt the history of this country and the mistake of 1914. The day of reckoning is coming for this country Nigeria. It is either we restructure this present aberrations or the whole system will collapse. |

Politics / Re: Consumers Now Free To Buy Electricity Directly From Gencos – Fashola by obamartins(m): 8:15am On May 20, 2017 |
This is a very wonderful policy if implemented. A Situation where DISCOS like BEDC would have the opportunity to buy enough power to satisfy states they service for 24hours but refuse to do so because of capitalism (they want to make excess profit), this is the kind of policy that will break that wickedness. TCN on several occasions have cried out that they have enough power for less industrialized states like Edo, Delta, Ondo etc that BEDC covers, but this company refused to buy why? Because they buy little power, give companies (e.g Guinness, hotels and some Chinese firms in Benin) on the 33kva line almost 24hours of power and share the insignificant reminder to households using massive load shedding arrangements which in turn kills small scale businesses which are the driving force of the economy today. When asked why they carryout such ungodly arrangement, they start singing the hit single "energy theft". They complain that consumers are stealing energy hence this "punishment". The same BEDC rolled out prepaid meters that are mounted on power poles to prevent energy theft. Initially, the pace of the installation of these prepaid meters was fast, when they realized that due to lack of power, the sales of token was not commiserate with what they normally get during the fixed charge era and from estimate bills they give to households without the prepaid meter (those with analogue meters), they deliberately slowed down, the installation of the pole mounted prepaid meter. Government need to break the monopoly further by giving license to small scale power vendors like what is obtainable in India to bring Nigeria out of this power crises that has being plaguing us for years. This is the 21st century for God sake. We need to think outside the box and stop this centralization of power, not all power generated must go through a centralized power grid. Individuals with the capacity can obtain license to generate and distribute power in selected areas, villages, towns etc. When power was to be privatized, the selling message the government gave to use was the telecommunication sector with the introduction of GSM in Nigeria. They said power would be like that with many players coming into the sector hence driving competition, when it was finally privatized, the story changed, they said we cannot remove total monopoly in the distribution of power, because different companies cannot start mounting their poles on the same streets, so that consumers cannot have their choice of companies to buy power from. For me, that is not thinking outside the box, we could have different companies as DISCOS in a state, they will all run conduit cables and have points where consumers that want to buy from them can be connected to. If a consumer is not satisfied with the services of a particular disco, he changes to another one. That is the only way this Discos can sit up. If a disco refuses to buy more energy from transmission and the other buys more, a consumer has the choice to change his Disco. They don't have to mount electric poles all over the places to achieve this. 4 Likes 3 Shares |
Career / Re: See 5 Things That Happen When You Graduate With A Poor CGPA by obamartins(m): 3:43pm On May 19, 2017 |
Thousands are out there with 1st class and 2.1 with no clear cut direction. My brother, it's not about grade, things and times have changed. Things that normally put food on the table in the 70s, 80s and even in the 90s have evolved. Gone are the days when you are told go to school, get a good grade and Pronto! You are out of poverty. It doesn't work anymore. The chances are getting slimmer by the day. Artisans and technicians are doing very well while graduates who refused to think outside the box with their 1st class and 2.1 cannot even feed. Before you question what I graduated with, I will tell you. I graduated with a 2.1, computer science, my certificate is gathering dust because most of the things I know today, I learn on the street and these skills are paying my bills. So move out of that "go to school, get a good grade, that is the only way out of poverty" mentality, nothing is guaranteed anymore. A smart person that left school with a pass is more likely to succeed than someone with a 1st class or 2.1. Because he learns early not to depend on his certificate, while those with good grades will allow it "shack" them, but before they realize that the certificate is now a piece of tissue paper, the guy with the pass or third class has learn a skill and moved on with life. So nobody should be carried away by 1st class or 2.1. Out there, it's a rat race and only the smart survives coupled with God's grace. You see them falling into depression every now and then because their expectation is a variance with the reality on ground. fergusen: 1 Like |

His cover is good enough, the message is clear, he must not use someone running. Besides, this days, most professional writers don't use images on their book covers to depict the content. In terms of aesthetics, the cover is above average. My opinion. AncientTimes: |

If you know you have uploaded an unprofessional cover design and it is hampering sales, drop the cover here. I will try as much as possible to redesign the worst covers so you can edit the detail of the book to replace the cover. I will do it free of charge for a week. So you don't saturate amazon with unprofessional covers and drive potential buyers away. Amazon is saturated with "so called book" let's not add terrible and amateur covers to the eyesore. 1 Like |

Don't try to publish someone else's work else the amazon bot will catch u as there are metadata they read to know if u are the original owner of the book or not. If you have uploaded someone else's ebook, they will terminate your account and you will lose all your earnings if you don't replay the "alert mail" they sent. Reply thus Dear amazon, I realized I uploaded a wrong file instead of my draft, please help me delete it so that I can upload the appropriate file. I discovered it was a wrong file I uploaded when the book was in review and I sent a mail to support with no response yet. Kindly assist, thank you. Your name With the above letter, they will only block the book and not your entire account. If you actually own the book, and you didn't plagiarise in anyway, write them stating that you are the owner of the work and can prove beyond reasonable doubt. Tell them you wrote the book and have no contract agreement with anybody. Though it will require you getting a copyright for the book at copyrightdotgov, I think it's about. $30 to get that done online. Just Google it, u will see the site, it is an American site. femtopyy: |

There is something u didn't do well as I withdrew successfully my last earning via worldremit. Sales has been really slow, but it has always been like that for me till say from the 19th of each month, things will suddenly pick up. I normally feel, they pay this white folks their monthly salary on the 19th, hence the shopping spree (just kidding). Though I have always exceeded the $150 mark every month. I get above N50,000 monthly, I am trying to see if I can increase it to N100,000. I am still writing more books. I wish I could make sales like bros1234. I know I will get there soon.

Don't be deceived, Canadian Federal Skilled workers program is not cheap, let me give u a little insight about some of the expenses: 1. IELTS - N6800 2. Wes Certificate evaluation (ECA) - $233.91 CAD which comes to about $185 USD per certificate. 3. To post your transcript to Wes via DHL to either their US or Canada office, you will pay ur school that money along side transcript fee 4. You will pay $500 CAD if your application is accepted. 5. You will need nothing less than $11,000 CAD dollars in your account plus other assets. If them finally approve your application, you will buy ticket plus other small small spending. Besides, it's called a skilled workers program, hence they expected that you have worked for nothing less than 2years in your field. Guy, if u no get sponsor, don't try FSWP. No be beans, else u go just waste the little way u get, naa for people way get money, this is not to discourage u, this is the truth. Randy91: |
