Wizkid ’s last known girlfriend Justine Skye has been tweeting in her feelings.
The singer on Twitter in series of tweets appears to be battling heartbreak. She wrote, “I don’t mind, you ain’t mine. Falling in love is embarrassing”. In another post, the 21 year old wrote, “You don’t know your own strength until you need to use them”

According to reports earlier this month, Justine Skye and Wizkid have called it quits. The reports adds that Wizkid went to find solace in the arms of his first baby mama, Oluwanishola who was in the States with him for about a week alongside their son Boluwatife.
Wizkid, Oluwanishola and Boluwatife have since returned to Nigeria for Christmas.

In one of my former articles How to earn as a writer in Nigeria, I specifically mentioned becoming a freelancer. In order to become a great freelancer, you must know how to write a good sales pitch letter. Like you saw where we explained in Top writer’s secret to earning more, the difference between freelancers who earn more and those who still pick up crumbs, lies in their ability to pitch potential clients. A freelancer writer, who doesn’t know how to write a good sales pitch letter, will end up picking up jobs that are not worth it.

I remember when I first started out as a fresh freelancer on Upwork; I suffered the frustration of not getting enough jobs, just because my sales pitch letter couldn’t even convince my dad to give me a job to handle. The frustration of not getting any job would be small, as when you realize that other writers are making a whole lot of money from that same system. I finally developed and learnt how to write a good sales pitch, and I will be sharing in this article.

A lot of sites/blogs will keep repeating the same old junk, and keep recycling tactics that are either outdated or just can’t work presently. I believe that whatever I am sharing with you now would be your winning ticket to earning a lot of money from writing.



Do your Homework

Just the way you prefer giving out good things to friends and people within your trust circle, Clients also feel the same way when a potential employee address them personally. Nothing disgusts a potential client than when you send out random pitch sales. If you are on a freelancer website like Upwork, instead of typing out “Dear sir”, you can try out “Dear Mr Bill”. Most of their names are already down for you to see, so it would cost nothing to add it up your sales letter. All you do is customize it with a little background search, and you are on the right track.

HI, I am/my name is

Once you have addressed the letter to whomever you feel is the recipient, move fast to introduce yourself. Give out necessary information about yourself that will give you an edge.

For example “My name is Mike and I am the founder of topwritersden, a blog where we tutor freelance writers.

Once you are done with this kind of opening, move fast to the body of your letter.

Opening Speech

A good sales pitch letter isn’t meant to be a wish/love letter where you get to express all your heart desires. It is about researching exactly what the client wants, and you promising to deliver in your sales letter.

In most freelance sites, clients take out time to list out their requirements. As a good freelancer, you should take note of every one of them. That is the reason I insist you make proper background check on the requirements of the client.

Do well to include some personalized details, so as not to make your letter sound like another cold pitch.

You can say “I saw your advert about creating a short fiction romance story, and I believe I have all it takes to complete the job. I have written about 5 short fiction stories and you can access them at www.myshortfictionstories.com...”

Summarize

Once you are done with your opening speech, you should summarize immediately by highlighting your achievements, experience and any other thing you feel can convince someone to give you a job.

Keep it brief

Nothing sucks more than a lengthy sales pitch letter. Most upcoming freelancers feel that by typing and pouring out their minds on their letter, it would give them the job. Keeping it short and simple yet filled with reasons to be hired, does the magic.

Go for it

At the end of your sales pitch, you should put out a call to action. Ask for the job and you will get it. It is as simple as that, once you adhere to the above rules.

Proof-read

We are all prone to mistakes, so don’t bother hitting the send button immediately after typing. Take your time and check out for errors. Imagine asking for a writing job and your sales pitch letter is filled with errors.

Deliver

After checking for errors, go ahead and send the sales pitch

Follow up

95% of freelancers don’t do this and it has costs them to miss out on a lot of jobs. Following up in a well-planned way shows the client that you are really passionate about the job.

For freelancers who are just starting out, it is necessary to include it in your mail.

Example “I will check back in a few days to know when we can commence the project.”

You have said you will do, and then make sure you do it.



This may take a bit of work and commitment, but once you have gotten a winning format, it keeps serving you. A good sales pitch letter will give you an edge over other competitors in the same industry as you. If you still need help in drafting a good sales pitch letter, do well to contact me. Thanks!

Babatunde Fashola, the Minister of Power, Works and Housing, on Tuesday told the youths not to despair because of the current economic situation, stressing that “there is light at the end of the tunnel.’’

The minister spoke in Abuja at the Special Town Hall Meeting for the youths, organised by the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture.

The town hall meeting was conceived to bridge communication gap between the government and the citizenry and also keep them informed of the policies and programmes of government,

Addressing the gathering, Fashola said that government felt the pains of Nigerians and was working hard to bring the country out of recession.

He said from his experience as a Nigerian, he had seen the country even in a more precarious situation when he was growing up and he never lost hope.

“Between 1979 and 1983 when I was in School, Nigeria had a lot of money in reserve. There was nothing we couldn’t buy, but by 1984 the money was gone.

We spent the money on all sorts of things including drinks. There is no kind of drinks that you will not find in the country then.

That was the time we started importing rice, other food items and exotic drinks.

However, 1989 was my first contact with recession. That was when it became very difficult to buy sugar and milk and all kinds of imported drinks suddenly disappeared,’’ he said.

Fashola also said that Nigeria was in recession in 1985 when it became difficult to sustain the cafeteria system in schools.

“We used to eat a meal at the cafeteria at 50 kobo including chicken, egg, bread and tea. To feed as a student then was N45 a month for three good meals daily. In 1985 when that disappeared, Nigeria did not disappear.’’

The minister said that when he left the university, it was the time travelling out of the country popularly known as “checking out Andrew,’’ was in vogue.

He said many of his mates left for greener pastures abroad but he remained in the country because of his strong belief that Nigeria is a land of opportunities.

“I believe so much in the future of this country, I remained, worked hard, though I never knew I will sit here as a minister. So, I want to say to you the youth, don’t lose faith, don’t despair, there is hope and light at the end of the tunnel,’’ he said.

Fashola said that the 2017 budget tagged “Budget of Recovery and Growth,’’ is meant to address recession and the government has set up the parameter for its success.

He, however underscored the need for Nigerians to “roll up our sleeves and work hard’’ to get the country out of the economic quagmire.

“Only the President, cannot recover and grow the economy, everybody must understand that we are at the time when we must work our hardest,’’ he said.

He recalled that for upward of three years before he was made minister, no contractor was paid, which led to shedding of jobs in the three sectors he is overseeing,

He said so far, the government had made two disbursements to ensure the contractors went back to site and recover lost jobs.

Speaking in the same vein, the Minister of Finance Kemi Adeosun, said the country “is coming out of one of its most difficult periods.’’

She said the government is investing massively in infrastructure and diversification of the economy to move away from dependence on oil.

2% of Nigerians own 90% bank deposits — NDIC

By Emma Ujah, Abuja Bureau Chief As a major indicator of wealth distribution in Nigeria across income groups, a mere two per cent of Nigerians own 90 per cent of total deposits in Nigerian banks. This represents the wide gap between the rich and the poor in Nigeria, which continues to pose major socio-economic development challenges to the nation. Director of Research and International Relations at the Nigeria Deposit Insurance Corporation, NDIC, Alhaji Mohammed Umar, disclosed this at the Businessday Capital Market Development Annual Conference in Abuja, yesterday. His words: “Our current deposit insurance coverage is N500, 000 for the Deposit Money Banks. And some people have said that it is low. I can tell you that it is very adequate for the majority of accounts. “It will interest you to know that it covers over 90 per cent of accounts in the country. Indeed, Nigerians who have more than N500, 000 in their accounts are just two per cent. Emefiele CBN Governor “What we found is that this two per cent Nigerians have 90 per cent of banks’ total deposits. Look at that – two per cent Nigerians own 90 per cent of total banks deposits, while the remaining 98 per cent have just 10 per cent of total deposits. What that tells you is that the gap between the rich and the poor has continued in this country.” Alhaji Umar added that there were about 70 million bank account holders in the country. The total bank deposits stood at N17.2 trillion, as at December 2015, according to a post on the Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, website. Earlier in his address, the Director-General of the Securities and Exchange Commission, SEC, Mr. Mounir Gwarzo, urged Pension Fund Administrators, PFAs, to invest more in the nation’s capital market, with a view to deepening it and ensuring better returns on contributor’s funds. He said: “Deepening Nigeria’s Capital Market through Maximum Utilization of Pension Funds is a conversation our country must continue to have in order to ensure that the impressive pool of savings we have been able to mobilize over the last decade is put to productive use for inclusive economic growth. “We are confident that with greater participation by PFAs and return of retail investors, our capital market will emerge as one of the world’s biggest and most liquid market capable of supporting the socio-economic development of our country. “We are delighted that the National Pension Commission, PenCom, has been very proactive in making the necessary adjustments to the guidelines that allow PFAs sufficient flexibility to determine their optimal strategic asset allocation. “The draft new regulation on investment of pension fund assets allow the investment of up to 30% in equities (for Fund type 1) and up to 45% in corporate debt securities (for Fund types 3 and 4). As a whole, we believe the adoption of a multi-fund structure is a very positive development that should produce economies of scale, risk diversification and further deepen the Nigerian capital market through pension portfolios and management strategies of PFAs. “There is, therefore, an urgent need for the draft guidelines on multi-fund structure to be approved. “The question is: Based on the current asset allocation by Nigerian PFAs, are they paying sufficient attention to generating the necessary returns to provide sustainable benefits to contributors? Can we say that Nigerian PFAs have achieved an optimal strategic asset allocation or explored all viable investment outlets? “March 2016 data from PenCom shows that Nigerian PFAs invest only 8.16% of their assets in the domestic listed equities market and 1.24% of their assets in foreign equities.

A video is currently making the rounds of this poor lady being molested and abused by these guys who were obviously intoxicated in the name of dancing as revelers cheered them on. The event is house party held in someone's compound as shown in the video.

The saddest part is when you realize that the lady was smiling most of the time as she allowed these idiots to degrade her and humiliate her like this in the name of entertainment.She however eventually started struggling for safety when it looked like the abuse could lead to death. Some people online said, that the reason she was smiling most of the time was because she was drugged.


Other ladies watched in amusement while the men hit her against a wooden table, jumped on her, threw her on the floor, toiched sensitive parts of her body and even threw her in a pool. It's one of the most extreme and bizzare videos one will ever see and it's currently trending on Facebook. From the music being played and the voice of the guy, it appears they are South African.

The lady also looked far more decently dressed than other ladies at the party. Here are shocking screen-shots from the video..
