LiteratureWhy You Are And Will Continue To Be An Unsuccessful Blogger by Rapmoney(op):
To say that blogging has diverse areas is a truism. It is like saying fish lives in water or that the sky is far from the ground. With this, I would like to state it clearly that while this post evaluates blogging generally in the Nigerian environment, it particularly revolves around CELEBRITY BLOGGING.

One common thing I have observed about most folks who address themselves as celebrity bloggers is the fact that they do not put factors such as creativity, hardwork, risks, boldness and 'go the extra mile spirit' into consideration when they blog. They can be equated to traders who rent empty shops and call on passersby to come and buy from them. The question then should be: What are they buying from you? Most Nigerian celebrity bloggers are just too lazy to carry out thorough research on celebrities while blogging. They lack that spirit to think and go the extra mile to find certain secret things that are true about these celebrities. Finding out secret things that are true about famous people is not and has never been an easy task. It involves so many stressful situations, risks, hardwork, perseverance, rejections and other things that may not come pleasantly.

People are more interested in patronizing you when you offer them something they cannot easily get access to. You will have an upper hand if you possess or have access to things they may not be able to know; shocking or interesting things that are true! The exact reverse is the case with most celebrity bloggers. They do not carry out complete ground work to ascertain stories or lives before posting things. Some other bloggers just go on social media pages of celebrities and copy posts! There is basically no creativity or hardwork in that because anyone can equally do that. A pupil of 8 in Pry 3 can do that as well. Why would you think that you you would become exceptional when what you are offering as news is accessible to anyone who cares to access it? You may continue to post but you may not be moving. Nobody travels in a circle without getting to where he or she has been. There is an extra mile to go in order to stand out.

Nigerian celebrity bloggers should take enough time to do thorough follow up on celebrities to unravel secrets, mysteries, stories, activities, etc in their lives before putting same as news. Why should I visit a blog to see Ini Edo's Facebook posts when I can easily visit her Facebook page to see them and even more? To stand is different from standing out!


THE TRUTH: You cannot be successful in blogging when you decide to join the bandwagon of mediocre celebrity bloggers who invade social media pages of celebrities to 'copy and paste' or go to online foreign discussion platforms to do 'copy and paste' on mere gossips!

Fishermen who want to catch mackerels should go to the sea; you cannot get them from the shallow stream at your backyard.

The hype of Ugwuanyi continuously on this platform is nothing but a political scam! A lot of people believe what they read online without visiting the state to see for themselves. Enugu is just like my second home and I have said it over and over again that most of the projects in Enugu State were done by the immediate past governor, Sullivan Chime. Gburugburu is just doing window dressing.

KenOne:
If i were Omo Agege Dino will be suspended for 200 legislative days for ridiculing the senate, the office of deputy senate president is an institution.

After all Senator Ali Ndume brought to the senate notice of Punch newspaper publication of Senator Dino Melaye not graduated from ABU and Saraki led senate with Dino Melaye engineered his suspension.

If Deputy Senate president Omo Agege did not engineer or master mind the suspension of Dino Melaye for this reckless statement i will from day to support him as a Niger Delta person.

Dino needs to be taught a lesson that this is 9th senate and Saraki is no more for him to rant and carries himself like over pampered baby.

etrouble:
Una go cry, cry, cry, una go tire. You started crying in 2015 after we kicked out the ineffectual buffoon called Goatluck. You have continued after we humiliated you again in 2019 elections. After the NASS Leadership election, your crying has turned to weeping. Continue weeping till 2023.

The Hausas attacked a Yoruba boy and the Hausas were humiliated and incapacitated by the Yorubas. If it were in the East, you will run to police station and governor's officer to cry.
Your post sold you out as an ignoramus! If you don't know the meaning of 'ignoramus', check it out in the dictionary.

You are not only suffering economic hardship, you are also suffering mental hardship.

Instead of thinking of how to better your life, you are boasting about elected politicians who do not give a hoot about you and your entire family.

FamilyRe: Candace Owen: I Learned That Feminism Is A Scam, It Tears Women by Rapmoney(m): 10:39pm On Jun 11, 2019
liberalchick:
Candance Owens!! No one takes her seriously. She is a shill for pay for right wing nuts. Even her racist right wing nuts don’t want her. She was fired!

Candace is barely 30 and she is engaged to a rich racist right wing white dude from the Uk. She was never a feminist. She is a provocateur. So take anything she says with a grain of salt.

AGAIN! what she is talking about is NOT feminism.
Does that face look like someone who's barely 30? huh

CelebritiesRe: EFCC Arrests Naira Marley Over Yahoo Boy by Rapmoney(m): 9:22am On May 10, 2019
Egbami o!!!

I have discovered that most of these recent musicians in Nigeria do songs that promote immorality in the society. We hear all sort of useless expressions such as '36 million ina me ganja'...'I want to use my cassava to shift your womb, permit me'. I mean, these guys don't know what damage they are doing to the society!

Oh where are you? Raskimono, Mandators, Edna Ogoli, Essien Igbokwe, Isaac Black, Oris Wiliki, etc. These were the ones who used music to create a positive impact in the society.

Naira Marley or whatever you call yourself, una no dey try for the lives of our children, I swear.

EducationRe: Some Grammatical Blunders To Avoid by Rapmoney(op): 4:37pm On May 04, 2019
chukxie:
This is an educative post. Kudos, sir.
I have two questions I'd like you to clarify on.
1: Why is "They are discussing about the weather" wrong?
Structure: discuss + about + sth or sb

Example:
The seminar was successful in bringing together local farmers to discuss about mechanized farming practices.

2: You said 'mild' should be pronounced "mald". Shouldn't it be pronounced  / maɪld / with stress emphasis on the vowel 'I'?

P.S: often can be pronounced with or without the 't'
/ 'ɒfən, 'ɒftən /

Thanks.
For the pronunciation of MILD, I stand to be corrected because I'm very sure of it.

...it should be local farmers discussing mechanized farming.

Thanks.

Stop matching me. Wrong . Stop mashing me?

I long concluded we don't read enough and therefore do not know soooo many common words and their meanings. We hear a word being used and will match it with the one we know that sounds closest. We then use the word we know in place of the correct word.... after a time.. we believe it is the correct word.
OP... who is supposed to be teaching us.... is a victim of the very misuse of words. Match is widely used instead of march.... to the extent that OP is defining march but believes he is defining match. He is not aware of it..... and in the same way we will go to interviews etc and misuse words. When we fail... we would never know where we went wrong... then all the blame goes to ...do I have to say which people?
Do not be too quick to judge. That's a typo.
