Romance › Re: Should I Wait For Him Or Move On? by Sanchez01(m): 3:58pm On May 18, 2019

Adviseasister:
He just sent me a screenshot of some posts, asking me if that is what I really think about him. If he is the man described in that post. He is kind of angry the thread made front page and got to this stage. He thinks the advices here are too harsh and would worsen a bad situation.

We have agreed to both go off NL and work things out like two people without the influence of NL.

I am sorry for bringing it here boo. It all started here, so I thought we could also ask for their opinion. You told me we would post our pre-wedding pictures to encourage other Nlders. What happened to all that?

He is manipulative and you are being a puppet right now. If he is going to blackmail you or threaten whatever you guys have/had over the thread then I'd say you are in one serious mess already.

At this point, you're within your rights to ask why he acted the way he did and not allow yourself to be manipulated by some guy who is thousands of miles away. You are responsible for your happiness. Always remember that.

With this post however, it is safe to say you clearly don't have sense.

Webmasters › What Is The Way Out For Bloggers With Disabled Adsense Accounts? by Sanchez01(op): 2:14pm On May 18, 2019

A cousin who has been blogging a while got hammered recently and he lost quite a lot. About $7000 in his Adsense account. He is in the US and bulk of his visitors are from there. Sadly, he got hammered after over a year and he claimed to have done nothing. I looked through his Analytics but never found a spike in traffic or something worth raising alarm over. There is the thought of click bombing but that in itself is vague.

Being disabled by AdSense, he clearly can't get back in the programme using his PAYEE NAME and Bank Details. So my questions are;

1. What are the available options for him in getting back into the AdSense programme?
2. His website has 100% genuine contents and are in line with Adsense TOS. Can he still use the same website without getting hammered?
3. How does he get back to using Adsense?

For those who had their Adsense disabled and got back in, kindly suggest or share the ways and how you got back to using AdSense.

Walking away from unprofitable friendship/relationship is as easy as ABC. I really don't understand why people choose to kill themselves over people who stopped caring/loving them.

If we all choose Sniper or suicide instead of forging ahead after a failed relationship, half of the whole world would have died by now.

As a born again Christian who is meant to speak the truth at all times, i think Chris attoh deserves to share in his jail term for marrying the wife of a drug dealer. He already shared his wife, his illegal wealth through his wife so he deserves to share in his jail. Even the Bible says give what is for Cesar to Cesar. Chris attoh betrayed the teachings of our lord Jesus by marrying a woman who is still married to a drug lord. He could have been shot dead if he was with the woman at that point. I hope we Christians learn from this and know that all that glitters is not gold

You're talking utter balderdash. The ones who have been playing the politics the way it should be played, how better off are they, their region or even the country in general?

The fact that everyone is doing it doesn't make it the proper way; worst still, it has not brought progress to the country yet you lot keep using this stale line.

Is that not the definition of f00lishness? Using thesame method (with nothing tangible to show for it) repeatedly and expecting a different result.

The common enemy of every Nigerian are politicians. Whether or not a region is better off is not the concern here but that it must get to the Igbos. It is not a cake or some free meal. You want it? Then work for it. It won't hurt if you think this morning.

The moment some persons realize that the Presidency or any other political position is not some monarchial title that moves from one geopolitical zone to another, the better it would be for them.

I don't understand how you expect power to be dropped on your laps when you fail to understand or play politics like most do. You threaten, issue ultimatum, curse, cuss, rant and talk like a baby on steroids just because you are blind and would rather come out to chest beat when you fail to make the cut.

This is one of the reasons you guys would continue to have issues with your hosts wherever you go. The concept of Iya/Babaloja is alien to Igbos while it is somewhat traditional to the Yorùbás. It is an age long practice. That you have Igbos in the market does not mean you have a stake in it.

What you're asking is similar to demanding that an Igbo man be made Baálè of a community in Yorubaland just because it is saturated by Igbos. Oko ó le je ti baba t'omo kó ma l'ala (Transliteration: No matter how comfortable you are in a place, there is a limit to which you can act).

I think you are being too generous with your replies. What has confraternity got to do with the subject matter at hand. You should know that when some people are losing a debate, they tend to shift focus to some inconsequential things with respect to the topic of discuss.
The fact remains that Wole Soyinka's versatility and dexterity with the pen cannot be compared to Chinua Achebe's. If the 3 genres of literature are combined, Soyinka beats Achebe hands down!

Well, I was curious to know why Pyrates Confraternity came into the discussion and what he was driving at. I have never thought Achebe to be in the same class as Soyinka, from the outset. However, this thread shocked me and has revealed a lot about how Nigerians think. Sadly, it is normal for people to hate things they don't understand. It is only natural.

If a writer's first duty is not to his society, then to whom is it?

His audience. Society is large and denotes certain aspect of human lives, putting literature into consideration. You feel a writer should dwell on pressing issues as that is the only way he or she can gain relevance. False. A writer's first duty is to entertain and to do this, he must connect with his audience. He already has a class of people who fancy his works. He understands this and must strive never to fall short.

When i referenced his Pyrates creation, i meant to highlight another thing he's involved with which demands a ticket to a better understanding.

I, myself don't fully understand that cult or club thing and the raison d'etre.
If you're to defend it, you might as well again say it's not for everybody.
It's elitist. I agree.

Soyinka's creation of the Pyrates Confraternity was to defend the oppressed. The mandate of the confraternity was to fight for human rights and social justice in Nigeria. The confraternity would engage in peaceful protests against the Nigerian government and hold an annual colloquium. The name Pyrates Confraternity was chosen for "fun" and intended to mock, and the "y" was intended to dissociate the group from modern pirates. Furthermore, the use of the word "confraternity" was intended to distinguish the Pyrates from other fraternities.

I am not a fan of cult groups, neither do I condone them but the Pyrates Confraternity till tomorrow isn't your average cult group.

madjune:
I would have promptly replied you yesterday but die to time zone difference, i couldn't. I was at work.

Now. I will show you what i mean.

Soyinka is a scholar and a great man. No doubts.
He is a writer. But then, the question remains, what manner of writer is he?

Who is a writer and what's his duty?

To me, a writer goes beyond a master of the word and a legend of the craft.
A writer owes a duty to the society. A first calling.
He serves as a historian.

You already missed it. There are different kind of writers as far as literature is concerned and they don't necessarily tilt towards history let alone serve as custodians. Metaphysical writers are classic examples of this. They have no regards for history are show any interest in serving as eyes of time. All they bother with are funny, though interesting subject matters, largely sex. They achieve this through ingenious conceits, incongruous imagery, complexity and subtlety of thought, frequent use of paradox, and often by deliberate harshness or rigidity of expression. John Donne, Andrew Marvel, George Herbert, Henry Vaughn are classical examples of such form of writing.

A writer's first duty is not to his society. While some writers choose to be dwell on societal motifs, projecting verisimilitude through literary devices, it doesn't imply that all writers must follow suit.

People can look at a writers work, in time ro come, say next 50yrs and in looking back; they can grasp the realities of what we faced presently, just by reading his works.
The encyclopedia is merely there as a complementary platform.

And so, you can read Toni Morrison books and learn about the anguish of black Americans and the impact of slavery on their bruised spirits through the 70s and much of the 90s.
You can feel her post modern feminism and approach to myth and folklore that were largely revisionist.

Her works were not couched in secluded, elitist prose or words that were meant to be understood by the high and mighty in the academia who will pass away someday and the books just stay on the shelves waiting for who has the brain to interprete it.

All and sundry can read her works and understand her positions and messages.
When that's achieved. The writer has achieved his primary duty to his society.

Moreso, so many of her works have been adapted to screenplays ( another tool for history preservation)
If reading the book is a challenge, you can turn to the movie and see what she meant.

One can read Robert Frost works and see the lost beauty of America in simpler times and how the times have changed.
How America drifted from the rural to the urban.

One can read works of writers who chronicled the advent of the mob through the 1920s and you can see Al Capone movies inspired by their works, even in latter times.

These writers served the first calling.

And so, i ask.
Soyinka is a writer. But then, to what end?

With the above, it is obvious you clearly don't know Wole Soyinka, let alone understand his works. Have you at any point read 'Telephone Conversation' where he bemoaned racism and dwelt on man's inhumanity to man over certain differences?? Have you read 'Alapata Apata', a satirical work of Prof's on abuse of power in the society? How about 'Document of Identity', a semi-autobiographic account of events that took place under Abacha? How about 'The Interpreters', a postcolonial reflection of cultural politics and the rejection of stereotypical representation? It is obvious what many, just as you, understand about Soyinka is his use of superfluous yet abstruse diction. More than Achebe or any other Nigerian writer, Soyinka dwelt on culture and cultural politics, postcolonialism, corruption, neocolonialism, African imperialism, racism, myth in respect to literature and how it affects Africans. No other African writer combined these elements like Soyinka. At best, we had writers who solely focused on an era and maintained such as form which they developed. Buchi Emecheta, Ayi Kwei Armah, Leopold Sedar Senghor, Ngugi wa Thiong'o etc all channeled their strength into an era. At best, two, and remained that way.

If only you and a few select understand what you're writing about...my friend, you've not passed the second test.
Why is it that most of the things he's involved with demand a ticket?
I can't even talk about his Pyrates club creation and how most of us still don't understand its purpose.

I am honestly trying to make sense of this. Heaven knows I am trying to.

But, in reading them; one always mostly gets lost in detail because he bamboozles you with unnecessary high diction.
And check, what they say in mass communication courses.
When you write to impress and not be fully understood by many, you've not duly communicated.

Herein lies your grouse. Sadly, it came last. Whether you like Soyinka's works because of his diction isn't the problem. It is what he adopted a long time ago and have come to define and influence his writing style.

Mass communication as a course doesn't dwell on literature. Those you should be mentioning here are those who studied Linguistics and African Languages, English Language or literature in itself.

You should take some Anglo-Saxon works to read, analyze before crucifying a man over his choice of language. I get it, you are obviously not a student of literature and would rather judge a book by its writer, it still doesn't make you correct. What irks me is that those who accidentally studied one or two of Soyinka's works during their elementary Art days in secondary school come out to claim Achebe is a better writer because his works are easily understood.

You clearly think Soyinka deliberately writes to impress, which tells a lot about your stance.

For the record, A GOOD WORK IS NOT EASILY UNDERSTOOD. DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE OF LUMPING LITERATURE AND COMMUNICATION TO BE ONE. THEY AREN'T AND ARE CLEARLY GOVERNED BY DIFFERENT RULES.

Which hosting sites are good? Siteground? Bluehost?

Please, I need your guidance.

Glad you didn't pay. Don't make the mistake of buying a huge plan when your traffic hasn't gotten to that level.

Both hosting sites are good. Sadly I use none of them. I use a Nigerian host. I'd advise you opt for Bluehost but don't buy an expensive plan if your traffic isn't worth it yet. You can always upgrade later.

WordPress, though it costs more. $276 for the premium plan where you can't get adsense. The business plan where you can is $376. Is it worth it to pay the 376 for the purpose of monetizing a blog? I need someone to guide me.

Your information isn't correct in any way. There are two types of WordPress; the hosted (.com) and self hosted (.org). The hosted works almost like Blogger with little control over your blog. The self hosted gives absolute control to you as a publisher.

That said, self hosted WordPress is a bit pricey but not as expensive as the sums you mentioned. What you basically need is $10 for a domain name and less than N20k to get a fairly decent hosting plan for a year. You can get your Adsense approval in the space of three weeks of launching your blog, so long you have good contents numbering up to 15. Monetization begins immediately your Adsense is connected.

What you have with WordPress are ranging packages for hosting plans. When your traffic grows, there'd be a need for you to upscale, which would mean you'd spend more than the initial cost you spent on hosting.

Whoever told you about premium packages for WordPress with the amount you quoted and claim you won't be able to get Adsense is on the verge of ripping you off.

Simply, i don't get that dig means i don't share the laureate committee judgment in giving him that award.

I've read lots of works by him.
A true artist or writer obeys the first rules of simplicity of purpose and clarity in communication.

So many readers of his works always come away confused, rather than informed or entertained at the page's end.

The marvel at his prowess lies more on,
"How could someone befuddle the mind with so much huge grammar within so short lines?"

At the emboldened, where did you get that nonsense from?

/you clearly have no idea of this subject matter. Do well to acquaint yourself with Literature and social classes in different centuries. Wole Soyinka's works are not for everyone. Unlike other writers who opted for simpler diction, and adopted them all through their works, Soyinka stayed through to his style and diction even though many found it convenient. Many would choose to go to the movies over an Opera because they consider the latter to be very boring while those at the top of the social chain would opt for the latter. That's class and taste rolled into one.

Soyinka's works will never appeal to those with common minds. I'd advise you see the movie 'The Professor and the Madman' and then take up a short work of Soyinka after that to read or study.
