Igbokwe I am with you all the way

You are a patriot

... You made me to stop doubting the BMC theory... Lol

HungerBAD:
Is Buhari afraid?

He should not bother about Saraki. The day Saraki leaves the APC, is the day his wandering into political obscurity and wilderness begins.

Saraki is over-estimating himself. National Politics,and National acceptance is not the same thing like playing Kwara Politics, where his father gave him bread and sardine(with a bottle of Coke) to make his journey easy.

He has not built loyalty outside Kwara State for him to be considered a threat.

So you know better than the people who asked the President to beg the SP to remain in APC?

Predictions correct

, dogs all I need to do is to buy their feed, their grooming products and pay for their medical bills and probably training fees too but with kids and a wife imagine all the bills, the lists keep compiling and they never end.

Imagine if your parents had the same mind set.... Just saying

mhd5757:
Hey nairalanders, what do you think? Is this normal? Marriage doesn't appeal to me at all same as having kids, I prefer having dogs even now i have 2 of them and as soon as I get a job and make enough money I plan on getting 3 more making them 5 in number. I know most people, the first thing they want to do as soon as they get a job is to get married and have kids but not me, I'm also not interested in having a girlfriend, though I used to have one back then when I was in the university but we were forced to leave each other being that she had to go back to her country and I had to come back to Nigeria.
After that I got another girl here in Nigeria, but I had to leave her because she was too expensive and she was draining me financially. After that, I just lost interest in relationships and I decided to be single, I decided that even if I feel the need to lay with a woman I can just go to an ashawo hotel or get a steady woman who I can be calling any time I need company. I think this is the lifestyle that suits me especially in this harsh economy, its easier for me. If I get married and have kids imagine all the money I'm going to have to be spending, excess groceries, all kinds of bills, school fees and the list goes on.
At least having a steady woman to call like maybe once a week can't be as expensive as getting married and supporting a wife.
Also having dogs can't be as expensive as raising kids, with dogs all I need to do is to buy their feed, their grooming products and pay for their medical bills and probably training fees too but with kids and a wife imagine all the bills, the lists keep compiling and they never end.
What is your take on this? What do you think?

Imagine if your parents had the same mind set.... Just saying

delugajackson:
This is what happens when you take a hoe as a wife. Women are never satisfied. We keep hammering it on our men but they never listen. They chose to learn the hard way. I too had a nasty experience.

I remember how my ex left me. I was heartbroken for a year. After all I did for her, she left me for Mr fancy car. My stupid ex would be passing with her mumu boyfriend that year, she go dey front seat 24hrs dey chill, guy man dey pull am come pass my side. Chai! E pain me die that year. I even swear say I must buy moto. I bought her a BB phone, in less than 2months, dude ditched my BB and gave her Infinix Hot. Me sef been dey trip the Infinix that year based on specification. I come see am for her hand, my head wan scatter. My BB na? She say e don spoil. I no talk. Na that day wey I fear woman. After we broke up na, she went on to tell my friends that the guy has fixed her wedding for June. This is over 4years now, anty never see aboki ring. Right now she's regretting! She thought she was doing me, but she didn't know she was doing herself. All because of greed.

Now, what I'm trying to say here is that life is not all about money. Ladies, not all that glitters is gold. Desperation will land you in a sorry situation, and karma is an unrepentant bítch. Be guided.

Lol... Had to read this twice, thought I wrote it, mine was that she left me for my friend because the guy told her he will marry her by December of 2013, my brother, till today nothing done happen, in fact the guy left her 2 months after they started their relationship, shame no dey gree her come area again since she's close friends with my sister... WOMEN!!! SMH...

This nice

The only way police brutality against African-Americans will stop is when we begin to have our Japan, China and Singapore in Africa. That is when the 'superior' whites will give Africans and her descendants respect.

Thank God people like GOODLUCK jonathan, ALEX EKWUEME and OJUKWU names are not among.

Because the Shehu guy is the custodian of Mr integrity in Nigeria??

Anyone can come up with there own list...

Solstar:
I love the way you ended it. It is not a spiritual attack, it is a religious attack.

Nigerians spend all their time fasting and praying and forget to get creative, then they run around to find fast money in order to buy imported food, cream, phone and wrist-watches so they dont have to waste time being creative when they should be worshipping God. Now churches run 5 services on Sundays, and a midweek service on wednesdays, not forgetting tarry nights and vigils.

The mohammedans are not left out, they pray a fuccking 5 times a day, and are constantly checking their time to make sure they dont miss a date with Allahu, what remains of their time is spent separating quarrels between their 4 wives, the rest is spent reminding the kids of the need to go to the Alfas and Imams for tutelages.

So, what time do we have to plant tomatoes or engineer apples that can grow on our climate.

We are not poor because we are religious, we are poor as a country because we have found an excuse in God.

Yet money does not grow on trees. Dangote should have known better. He has been making serious business mistakes of late, one of which is building $18B Refinery when electric cars and solar panels are the future. I really question the true source of his wealth. How are his projects financed ? From which sources ? He pays back loans at the speed of light, well, almost. Just to create impression of 'source' ? It could be these politicians just financing him till his retirement and eventual demise. It could just be a ponzi that takes money from early mules and paying the new politicians. I envy the man, I truly do, but if I have access to such money, then I should be able to buy up Nigeria and put everyone on a universal basic income from what I can do with that money.

As it is with the tomato factories, so will it be with the refineries in the next 20 yrs. This is the new world order.

Love this comment! Think this is the best comment I've read on NL..

chilariye:
THE POWER OF INTEGRITY

He snubbed Angela Markel in White House; refusing to shake her hands in oval office.
He shocked President Al Sisi of Egypt. Told him point blank in WH that he will cut aid to Egypt.
He called North Korean leader Kim Jung Un , the 'Rocket Man'.
He has chastised President Putin. Heaping sanctions on his close associates.
He called out Theresa May of Britain.
He criticised China and her leaders. He took a risk of trade war with China.
He called Mexicans rapist , drug peddlers and unsavoury names. Even plans to build a wall.
He fought American footballers who refused to honour their anthem.
He is fighting the largest media platform, CNN.
He is fighting establishments in US; FBI, CIA, JUDICIARY etc.
He knocked NATO allies. Threatened Iran. Shot into Syria.
He fights with his appointees if needs be.
He called black Americans 'LAZY' before his elections.
He called African nations 'shithole'.
He is not afraid to tell it to u , no matter who u are because he is the POTUS. He says it exactly the way it is, snubs, Bullshits even world leaders.
He rarely gives compliments
BUT
when he met President Buhari, everything changed. He was so excited that he could not control it. To d extent that he was even longing for a 'selfie'/ close shot, smiling to the camera. Meaning it was deliberate. Gave PMB d full presidential compliments he has hardly given any other leader since assuming office.
He didn't stop there, he went on and on with eternal compliments.
Buhari became a Rock star to him.
WHY?
The honour and unusual integrity , dedication and commitment of a black man.
Finally he said, " I have tremendous respect for President Buhari.....Buhari is a honest & great leader Africa has produced ....For your sake, I will like to visit Nigeria pretty soon."

He also called him the No. 1 President of Africa.

Keep your honour. It will speak for u someday.

If the Hater's hero can say this about my President , why should I attempt to support or vote another.

It took a 75 year old President to attract such an honour to Nigeria. What far younger ones couldn't do for years. It is an honour for us all; all Nigerians not for PMB alone.

Buhari Again 2019.

Proudly Nigerian.

If only you knew.... Trump finally saw a man he could decive, that was his excitement, how can you celebrate a meeting that will cripple agricultural activities in Nigeria only to promote American agricultural products.... When people say to support Buhari you must not have brains, this is it right there!!!!

Perspectives:
Damn, you are on the wrong lane.

The obvious:

1. You are in love with her
2. She is a loosed girl
3. She has too many guys in her life
4. You are the cool and emotional type
5. You desperately want her to yourself.

What will happen if you don't do something

1. She will mess up your head
2. You will loose your joy
3. She will keep apologizing
4. She will never change
5. You will eventually wish you never met her

What you should do

1. Man up and dump her straight
2. Don't listen to her apology
3. Don't let her use your family and friends to manipulate you
4. Stay away from relationships for now
5. Learn emotional intelligence

I love this...

Angelawhite:
Thanks for the well detailed explanation. I'm currently running an entertainment blog with extremely low cpc. I opened a blog on insurance but I've got a big problem. How do I attract visitors from those first tier countries?
Thanks

Trending topics in Nigeria today is Dino Maleye or BBnaija, if you make posts on these keywords you will probably receive traffic, so also make posts on topics that interests visitors from those countries, insurance is a big business in US, UK and any of those first world countries, competition for space is stiff too, so look for insurance sites that target these countries and hunt for their keywords, keywords that get them traffic... Deny yourself sleep sometimes and research, read SEO articles and improve on your SEO skill, keep learning and keep improving... It will make you better.

Silvermoney:
I've always wondered whether pasting one's blog link on Nairaland for traffic and backlinks does more harm than good for Adsense CPC. But I do think it somehow helps in drawing organic search engine traffic...

By the way, how long does it take, in your experience, for a newly registered website to start drawing organic traffic with seo only? I have a site that is about a week old now (focusing on the broad health niche), with about 10 high quality seo optimised, keyword rich posts targeted at the US... But so far, I have only about 2 organic visitors from Google search. How much longer do I have to wait and how many posts would do the magic?

I have another older blog with predominantly Nigerian visitors where my adsense is linked. I intend to later link this same adsense to my new US targeted blog. Is this a good idea (as in, will it affect the CPC for the new blog) or is it better to apply for a brand new adsense for the new blog?

Sorry about the plenty questions. Lol.

Posting your links on nairaland is not bad, as a matter of fact, Google will notice your blog quicker because Google crawls nairaland regularly because the site is a busy site, however, excessive posting of your link on niraland can be harmful, Google might see your multiple links as spam, so if you must put your link, you'll have to do that cautiously, also traffic from nairaland is not as strong as traffic from Google, always aim for Google traffic..

For a new blog to start gaining organic traffic, it depends mainly on your ability to work tirlessly [/b]and your willingness to study the niche you're in, consider factors like the competition in the niche, hunt for your [b]competitors keywords, know your competitors and search for those keywords that is making them rank higher than you (Use tools like SEMRUSH tool, you can use the free version for 14days worth $199, write better articles with more words (1k+) strategically place your keywords, do your on-site and off-site SEOs properly, build backlinks by gradually dropping your comments/links to sites on your niche, mainly sites from US, UK, Canada etc, don't spam these sites, some won't accept your links, look for international forums like nairaland, drop your links there too, gradually oooooooh... As per how many posts it will take for traffic to start coming, can't really tell, all I know is that you need to make posts on trending topics or keywords on your niche, it's not a matter of how many posts, it's a matter of posting relevant topics, post on what people are search for, with SEO tools like SEMRUSH, you can track your competitors most profiting keywords, you can also track keywords with the highest CPC, you'll get to know that there are keywords with as much as $5 to $8...

Don't apply for new AdSense, it's a capital offence, trust me, if they find out... You will lose both, just link you AdSense to your new site, CPC is determined by the following factors, niche, location where your traffic is coming from and then keywords, for instance, in your naija blog if a keyword like[b] Big brother Nigeria[/b] is $0.08 you will get 0.08 for clicks on that keyword, while on your health blog, a keyword like maleria drug may have a CPC of 0.26, a click as a result of search on that keyword gives you $0.26....

Blogging na real hard work oooh, just do your due diligence, don't rush it, give yourself one year, post like 2 or 3 times daily and watch out for results, I always advice people to build blogs that will last a lifetime, health blog if properly built may even outlive you because it doesn't have season, people will always need medical advice, when you do your due diligence very well....

jeffkennedy:
Please experience bloggers I need your input on this, my AdSense CPC is $0.01, is this normal? However the site is about one month old and averages about 1.5k views per month according to Google analytics. Is the low CPC as a result of the site been relatively new and can it increase with time. An not just happy with the terribly low CPC. I just need input on this from experience bloggers who have been dealing with AdSense for years.

What is your niche? Your niche is a huge contributing factor when it come to CPC rating, take for example, if you are blogging on Nigerian news, Nigerian music industry etc, most of your visitors will be from Nigeria, so trust me your CPC will be very poor, no matter the age of the blog...

An open secret -
One of the reasons for a $0.01 and other low CPC revolves around the country were your visitors are coming from, the niche you are blogging on, your content quality (no copy and paste or rewriting other people's post) etc etc...

When you blog on the following niche your will get a CPC as high as $2,

1. Blogs on Law
2. Blogs on insurance, you can have a micro niche on this. Insurance is wide
3. Blogs on banking, finance, credit card
4. Tech blog
5. Blogs on health..... Etc etc!!

the lowest CPC on my blog is $0.13, most times they are clicks from Africa, I've had a CPC of 0.87, I have a site on finance and will soon be starting a new insurance blog, that's my highest, a friend once had a CPC of almost $5, that was from about 8 clicks before it went down...

In conclusion, having or blogging on high paying niche does not mean authomatic high CPC, your visitors must come from USA, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany etc... Even South Africa has a high CPC, my point is that your post must target audience from these countries, don't post news on BBnaija and expect someone from Germany or USA to have interest you..... My final advice is for you to visit Google and carryout an extensive research on this issue, read up and make the necessary changes, startup a new blog if need be and stop posting your link on niraland for backlink, that act may condemn the site to a Nigerian site...

SKhanmi:
Hmmmm, Ekiti, One of the most educated regions in the country but cursed with leaders who are mostly innovative with the state purse. I wonder if it's partly to their close minded attitudes, they say, a nation of sheeps begets wolves as leaders right?,Look at most of the underperforming governors, they mostly have a general illiterate bourgeoisie with a non challant attitude. But ekiti..... is still an underdeveloped town with PhD Holder landlords.

The hype about Ekiti being the most educated is not true, it's just hype....

Everything is not for social media now, sometimes let's pretend like we've been using these equipment for ages, people from other African countries are on this forum.... SMH!!!

she no predict the downfall of buhari cum 2019?

Nigeria is not as important as we think in world politics...

Fine ride..

Modified

Lol.. I thought there's a fee for first to comment, in case there is.... admin should mbok contact me for my accant number

Correct

When a Nigerian politician says he is not interested in a particular venture, especially if it has anything to do with going for a second term, look closely that's the only thing he has in mind.... This guys want to rule forever.

Him saying this

The Nigerian elite is corrupt, selfish, self centred and largely divided. Like I said, there is need for consensus of the Nigerian elite

As if he has not been part of the political elite, talk about speaking from both side of the mouth... What is more corrupt than paying foreign terrorist off for killing the people you are governing....

This story is not juicy enough to divert our attention from all the happenings in the country, they will need to come up with a gist on the same level as that of arresting the herdsmen .... NEXT!!!!

Please who can help me with INEC office address in Enugu... Getting prepared for 2019...

This should be the kind of news we should be getting used to... But no!! In Nigeria, you get one good news and multiple bad news... Nice one Innoson and The NA.

MaziOmenuko:
No need for him to accept 7%; you only do that when you are negotiating from a position of weakness. He had already accepted GTB's audit report of N5mil as against the N7mil he noticed and which an external auditor confirmed. That one is enough compromise.

I like how he insisted on 22%, now who is losing? Even if the case lingers at the supreme court for another 5yrs, GTB will pay a calculated sum in addition with the 22% counting till when the case ends. They will still pay the legal fees of Innoson, so who lost?

22% of 5mil would have been an extra N1.2 mil which takes the sum to maybe 6mil or 7mil. Now they have incurred liabilities in excess of N6bil which may rise to N10bil by the time the case is concluded.

They need to fire their entire legal department!

Bro, it's like you didn't see the figures correctly, they are talking about over 700 million and over 500 million respectively, not 5 million and 7 million.... I think that 22% is the thing killing Gtbank here, and I like those guys Sha...

Princedapace:
I think u all are quite unfair to the police here.. Look at the countries u mentioned.. do they have the type of society we have here? Are their police not well paid, their police officers live fine while their politicians dont live extremely wealthy. Here, our leaders steal all the money and pay policemen poorly.

The countries u mention, their policemen have good life insurance, they are well kitted for operation, they have good equipment for operations. They are well protected but here, policemen live in dead barracks, they cant even afford to buy a decent car, they cant send their kids to good schools, they need to steal to live well. A SARS officer can be killed any day.. Each time they leave for work, it seems it is their last day. When they die, their families are abandoned. An average police man in nigeria can not build a house from a decent money, never.

Also, those countries u mentioned, unemployment is low compared to Nigeria.. they dont av crazy citizens who are unemployed and steal a lot. My brother, Nigeria police can not experience the Nigeria system and be acting like policemen in Finland or Norway who are experiencing advanced society and system.

So according to this your narrative, it is ok for Police officers (Sars) to go after anybody who is looking good, has an expensive Mobil phone, has a laptop, drives a car, harrass people at will, even threaten to shot people be cause they can? My dear, there is no excuse whatsoever for these actions by police, he is ready to protect the Yahoo boy but will go after the innocent student who is coming back from school because he has his laptop with him..... Do you know what it means to be walking on the street and then police van stops in front of you and demand to search your phone, force you to a nearby ATM and collect your money, see in SARS, you can be bailed with as much as 700k, tell me which kind of police force is that Abeg no make people angry here

I'm searching for the comment of one Nwa.............. Can't remember his full name, the guys supidity looks like his talent...

mpowa:
...the club who were spectators forced a man who pride at playing possession football to start packing the bus, he removed gabriel Jesus, didn't bring in Aguero, but a defender so...Don't know what game you watched

Seriously, you are getting emotional about this your argument, the fact remains that City played United out of the park yesterday, to clear your argument about City bringing in a defender, United were playing long balls that was why Magala was introduced, but that didn't stop City from dominating still, saying City packed the bus is just a way of making yourself feel good, every Man United fans knows that Mourinho didn't have a game plan for that game, he was banking on luck and De Gea to help out like in the Arsenal game, and to say City didn't do anything special, City had about 3 clear cut chances to even make it 4 or 5... Mourinho should leave let Tothenham manager come take over...

See how everything ended..... Imagine if it was the white man who racially abuse the black woman, social media would have been on fire...
