that's just a hallucination of some clowns on Twitter. You think billionaires do things without carefully thinking it through?
At first it was Barcelona fans blaming Perez until Perez revealed yesterday that he didn't even have to convince Barca president considering their difficulties. Then he no players will be banned and nobody is pulling out of anything that they've already signed everything. What you need to know now is that the British media are now trying to start a propaganda war /psychological operations to try and manipulate an outcome. Nothing is happening. In fact, Abramovich is in a yacht somewhere with 15 models drinking champagne and anticipating 3.5bn alert. You think billionaires cares about the emotional tantrums of clowns on Twitter?

Webmasters › Re: Is Blogging Still Profitable? by rhames(m): 8:56pm On Apr 20, 2021

Elonmuskfan:
There are hundreds of thousands of blogs in Nigeria. Most rarely have even one single comment at the end of the article. When i stumble on them, I usually wonder if the owner is breaking even or meeting his expectations, or even seeing any tangible money.

I would like to know if blogs can generate >50k a month. Or how long it would take to do that, and the necessary things to put in place to achieve that before I venture into it.

Please help

If you want to blog for good money don't learn from Nigerian bloggers. Learn from foreign bloggers. They are in tune with current realities not our local bloggers who are still a century behind.

Try Harsh Aggarwal. I use his methods for affiliated marketing.

Family › Re: I Transferred All My Salary To My Husband- Nigerian Lady by rhames(m): 9:37am On Apr 04, 2021

[quote author=wwwihy post=100443663]#Copied

My salary came yesterday and immediately I received alert, I rushed to my husband and asked him how much he needs me to contribute after informing him that my salary has been paid. Oga thought I was joking and mentioned a figure thinking I was going to contest because it was

Almost all my salary, I just carried my phone and transferred it to him. It was doing him like film, I then went ahead to pay the salary of our children's lesson teacher so that he would stop thinking about it. That's when I realized that he was doing so much without complaining.

He sees it like his duty and even when the financial burden is too much, he struggles to pay without asking me. He was so surprised and happy, I know that my money is just a fraction of what he brings but he felt like I gave him millions. I then told him that I am putting in the effort to make more money so that I can still reduce his stress. He didn't marry a responsibility, he married an helper and he should be feeling more relaxed than when he was single. I have never felt entitled to anybody's pocket and I won't do that with my husband. Omo, oga went to the market without even telling me, stocked up the home. Cooked and served me o, this small support has gone a long way to settle silent quarrels that I didn't even know about. I will keep working harder and doing my best, men also need support, they are not superman.

Please house I need an advice.

Ever since I got a federal government job,

my relatives have been disturbing me for money.

There must always be an issue that involves money which they want me to solve.

Recently, my mom become sick.

They are threatening me that I would be held responsible if my mom dies,if I don't make sure she is cured.

But I have taken her to hospitals, and she is trying to recover.

I do this whenever I visit home since I am working in a state far from home.

Her health challenge is due to old age.

But today my uncle called me that I should resign, get back to the village and personally take care of my mom,

failure of which,if she dies, the whole family would hold me responsible for choosing job over my mom.

Can you imagine resigning your federal job to get to the village and start staying?

The calls, the demands, the attacks are getting too much for me.

Please should I just switch off my phone so that no one can contact me?

I just need advice?

Carry the woman from the village and bring her to the city for proper medical check up before your village witches and wizards start using her as ATM to extort you everytime they needed money.

but unfortunately, the greatest opposition will come our own people, the Yorubas especially the leaders. Our political and opinion leaders in the south west dont have Yoruba interest at heart. The are interested in their own pocket agenda.

Our won people betrayed Chief Awolowo on three occasions: in 1963, 1979 and 1983. The last one was glaring as Obasanjo was not keen on handing over power to his fellow statesman and used Justice Adetokunbo Ademola to achiev that demonic agenda that has kept the country in perpetual search of a p[olitical solution to its problem.

I am expecting the Yorubas to betray Tinubu in 2023.

Just like nicknames, I'm sure your Nairaland monicker was informed by something that had an impression on you. Well, except for those who ban has made them run out of ideas of a name to choose. Lol.

So let me start with my own...

I got Penguin from a movie I watched, Gotham. Penguin's real name in the movie was Oswald Cobblepot but people called him Penguin because of his hair; and his looks maybe.

He didn't like the name at first and would always retort if called by the name. But with time it grew on him and he started to address himself by the name.

His character was that of a downtown guy trying to survive. He did a lot of shits. But these are shits he had no option than to do them if he must survive.

I saw me in him. Well, not like I do shits. But I saw in him a young man that wants to survive no matter what life throws at him.

At a time, Fish, his female boss then, broke his leg and he started to walk funny but he continued to hustle and to work himself up the ladder of the society.

Penguin was my favorite character in Gotham. That's why I chose the name.

So how did you come about yours?

Webmasters › Re: I Want To Go Into Blogging. Please What Are The Pros And Cons Of Blogging? by rhames(m): 11:11pm On Mar 25, 2021

sapphiere:
Hello Nairalanders! Happy prosperous new year to you all.

Please I want to go into blogging.
I need advice from those who are into it.
What are the things expected of me and what should I expect.
What are the guidelines for beginners?

Your advice is welcome.

Welcome to the world of opportunities.
Blogging requires a lot of time, money and resources. Time to research, money to implement your blogging Skills and resources like books and human capital to assist and guide you on your journey.

A blog takes time to generate income depending on your skill set and niche. Contrary to popular thought, even US $100 can't host a year's contract on any of the top webhosts in the world.

You need close to US $1500 or US$100 if you choose to move at snail speed to start as capital. Bluehost is my favorite and your best bet is to buy a three year hosting with all perks such as SEO, SSL and a host of others for US $ 800.

The rest of your funds will be used to buy books, courses and attend online masterclasses by top bloggers.

Do not use local Resource persons. Most of them are stagnant and their knowledge and methods stale. Use foreign resource persons especially from the US, Australia and India. The top 100 are from these countries and you will gain a lot from them. Besides, they teach you to take baby steps into that tough business.

What's your niche market? The top bloggers in the world belong to many niches unlike our local marketers with civil servant mentality of one source of income.

Lastly,you must have sound control of your language of communication. Unfortunately, why most bloggers find it difficult to get traffic is bad communication. Avoid the use of slangs in your communication as it gives a wrong signal.

Remember there are over two billion blogs and only a few thousand people will read your blog. You worry is how do you get loyal readers and contributors to your blog and how do you improve it regularly.

Lastly, your blog is a business that you have set up to make money for you. It was set up with money and your principal reason for setting it up is to make profit and have a lasting impact on your audience. Be conscious and treat it like a business not a charity.

Good luck.

I don't understand you o! It seems you're facing a different kind of challenge. You're telling me a child don't have inheritance to his fathers properties , because of the method of marriage they use ?

If you view it from the point of Y

My fears are genuine and I have said it.

Section 272 of the Nigerian Constitution states clearly how the property of anyone who dies is shared amongst

The main issue is only yorubas can marry inter religion and for the fact that my family is 65% Muslim and 35% Christian ill debunk all this religious bigot stuff

If your views are from the point of traditional laws and customs, which I believe you are not versed in from your questions, then I can understand. But the Cavaet of a child born outside wedlock in Yorubaland is based in the fact that the man's family recognized the child as his or not. Hence the appellate " OMO ALE". A child born outside wedlock does not have the same rights as the one born in it in his father's house, irrespective of his status in society and under any law in Yorubaland. That applies both in Civil and Islamic laws.

It's not about sentiments or tribe or religious affiliation. It's a fact if law.

So many inheritance issues are before courts for decades that has not been solved.

If your family has no problems with interreligious marriage and tolerance that does not mean others are cool with the idea. Some are ready to any length to adhere to the provisions of their religion in case of issues like this.

FRA Williams Family are still in court almost more or less than a decade after his death over his Estate.

I am telling you that the Provisions of Section 272 the Nigerian Constitution will prevail against other laws of the land if such cases go to court.

It states clearly that the religion of the late person will be used to share his estate after observing the necessary rites.

From my inbox

I met this guy in my final year in school, we almost shared the same view in life, he possesed all the qualities I need in a man.

He's so caring, kind, handsome, a good pay Job n from a humble home, I can't deny the fact that I Love him.

But the issue is that he's a Muslim while am a christian lady.

Pls house does religion matters in marriage

My dear there are issues that you need to know for your own posterity and safety. I a speaking from the point of marriage in Islam not fanatical view.

A marriage not conducted under the tenets of Islam is not valid by law. By direct implications, it may be used to deny you and your kids any share of his inheritance when he dies.

However, the respite you get is that he should either make you comfortable for the rest of your life by giving you a large share in his Estate.

His family will always use that against you when he is gone.

Another safety net is, you should conduct traditional marriage or you convert to Islam or he writes a will to take care of his estate.

The reason I am saying this is that the writers of the Nigerian constitution accepted both the civil law, customary law and religious laws as that guiding civil unions and inheritance issues. Primarily, the provisions of the Nigerian Constitution states clearly that it is the religion of the of the person that governs how his Estate will be shared.

I am currently in court over the issue of my father's Estate for the past fourteen years and I know what I am going through because if these provisions.

Please leave love out of this and understand the complications of what you are about to get into.

Good luck.
