which referrals again. expansiate it to him.

Traffic referrals. Anything other than search engines is you courting trouble. The moment AdSense suspects your main traffic source is social media platforms or some other sites, your account will first experience ad limiting then get monitored before it will be disabled if it doesn't improve.

meavox:
PLEASE INCLUDE SOUTH-SOUTH in any SOUTH-EAST Security Outfit and Operations! WE ARE GOOD TOGETHER.

Two different regions? It doesn't even make sense.

DC49:
I'll consider that. Thanks for the tip.

If you love your AdSense account, stay away from referrals that are not purely search engines. Any other thing will land you into trouble and migjt have your account disabled.

My 30th birthday is in few weeks time. Am scared because I don't have a boyfriend. It's beginning to give me sleepness night. But is marriage the ultimate? Please no body should insult me����

The BIG 30! Don't take the rants of inexperienced people on here about what eventually becomes of a lady when she clocks 29 or 30.

Improve on your weaknesses, enjoy your strengths and let people see them easily. A sensible dude will come around so long you don't prioritize fantasies.

Happy birthday in advance.

BOYLOVABLE1:
A lady send me a friend request on facebook since early last year which I accepted, from there we started chatting.

According to her that she's from India and she will love to marry, we talked a lot. I asked her so many questions about her and she said so many things that she a single mother.

After two months she went off and I also moved on. Just last week Friday, she appears again telling me that her account was hacked.

She has been sending me pictures also request for mine which I did send, she send both nude pics.

On Friday she also wants me to send mine which I declined. After much persuasion, I sent her my nude, she insisted that she wants to see my full unclad pic.
To cut the story shorter, immediately I sent her my full unclad pic, the next thing I saw was:

"You dey craze, I resemble your mate?". I should better comply or else....
When she is through with me I will know my myself.

I just weak, immediately I blocked her on Facebook. I think she wants to use my unclad pic to scam me. She has been calling me but I refuse to pick the call.

Please what will i do?

Don't mind mind my English construction.

Deactivate your Facebook account ASAP before she uploads and tags you and your siblings.

This is the first time I'm reading or knowing guys also send nudes.

Davash222:
What makes you think you’re smarter than robbers
According to your fiction up there, those guys also kidnapped the husband. It takes more than supporting a failed government to kidnap someone. Kidnappers ain’t daft!

Actually, they are. Forget what you read in the news. The amount of failed attempts at kidnapping far outweigh the successful ones. The only set of kidnappers who are smart and sophisticated at it are those run by politicians and some big folks and that is because they are highly organized and well thought out.

It is why you see them kidnap someone, demand N15m but end up collecting N85k.

the goal is the bag girl! Go get it and stop allowing your emotions run you over! But if you say you don’t need the money....issokay!

Horrible counsel. You sure know he'd feel entitled because his money is now making up for those moments he disappeared, right?

Everything will change the moment he collects a dime from him and he will have a claim over the child because he has started 'spending'.

Kingray10:
Mentioning Eminem in that list, just show that you don't know him or understand Eminem like you said. Please don't drag that legend into this shit.

Eminem is a legend, no doubt but how many of his songs can you play in a church or around your kids and elders? It's too early to jump when you don't understand Jack. And I very much doubt you are half the Em fan I am.

NwaAmaikpe:


Till your music can be accepted by Pastors, Imams, Youths, elders, global leaders, United Nations and illiterates, then you stand a chance of being an African Album or winning a foreign award in Music.

Nigeria and Nigerians must understand that club bangers do not translate to foreign awards in global music.

This is wrong. Beyoncé, Eminem, MJ's 'Thriller', Taylor Swift's '1989', and even Jay Z have all won the Grammy Album of the year award.

Most of the songs on their albums are club bangers, and widely accepted by younger generations. I can't imagine any of Jay Z's, and Eminem songs that will will be accepted by religious leaders.

Most educated folks don't even understand Eminem's raps because he is always dissing the world and lacing his materials with double and triple entendres.

The category is much more beyond acceptability and the class or category of people your album resonate with. Kidjo will still return and win another next year as always.

Modified

To those quoting and 'correcting' me about Beyoncé, Em, Jay Z et al, about not winning the world album of the year. NOTE THST I DIDN'T MENTION THE WORLD ALBUM OF THE YEAR BUT ALBUM OF THE YEAR. The criteria remains the same for both while the reach is the only difference.

I cited them as winners of similar categories with club bangers as a response to the fellow who stated that your album must appeal to clerics, religious bodies and the UN to win the category.

Burna Boy stood no chance the moment he was paired with Kidjo. There is something about her and her songs that are not just deep hut philosophical. But then, that isn't the essence of the category. The Grammy album of the year puts certain factors into account and that includes technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales, chart position, or critical reception.

If it were to be by the latter, Burna might have won because the African Giant album grossed quite well and had impressive reviews from crazy critics. Congratulations to Mama Kidjo.

Please Nairalanders i really need your opinion about my Landlord. We don't understand what he has been doing my family we ask him to fix something in our house and everyday everybody in our house normally goes to work. Our Landlord doesn't stay in that compound but normally he come often. What we told him to fix is in the room he has extra key. So he went ahead when all of my family were not at home he opened the door and fix it. That is an offense to my family. My family wants to sue him to court and I am confused right now please help me.
Your advice are very important to me please

Your family was wrong to have have asked a landlord to fix something in their room. They use it, and they are responsible for whatever repairs or damage is done save in situations whereby you saw the flaws before you moved in and you both had an agreement.

Your landlord having a spare key to your family's apartment is worrisome. Perhaps you ask him to surrender the key to your family since they are the rightful occupants of the place for now. His reaction or response should guide you on the next thing to do. If you are suing, be sure you are actively house hunting.

The simplest way to letting the sleeping dog lie is to have all the locks changed, preferably German locks.

messi042:
hello nairalanders, i have a website which i just submitted to adsens for their approval, but there is these things i want to discuss with you guys is this

I've heard about PPC and CPM but am confused about that. does it mean that if google approve my website they will ask me to choose between PPC and CPM or the two will be enabled on my website at the same time .
PPC (pay per click) which means the number of clicks on the ads displayed on my website will determine how muchi will earn.
CPM (pay per views) which means the number of page viewed determines how much i will earn.

my website is a joke and fun blog that gets around 1,200 to 1,330 unique visitors per day and around 12,000 to 14,000 page views per day.

based on experience, most site visitors dont click on ads, even if my site visitors will be clicking on the ads, the earning per one click will be very small because the traffic is a Nigerian traffic. then what is i choose to monetize my website with the CPM method where by i will be earning for every page view? which means i will be making around 12 to 14 dollars daily because Adsense pay $1 for 1000 impression (page views). thank you guy's but please i need a serious answer to this.

Lol. Firstly, AdSense won't ask you to choose between CPC or CPM because it uses both. You get paid for clicks and also for impressions.

The best way to make money from AdSense is not just with a specific ad unit but run tests on your blog to see what works best. Based on over-the-years personal experience, the most effective ad units is LINK ads. The typical 250X250 or 300X250 or whatever customized ad units you choose might work best for CPM and not necessarily clicks.

Integration is another thing. It is not enough to place ads on your site just anywhere. You have to research and find this out yourself and understand the positions that work best.

Again, YOU DON'T GET TO CHOOSE BETWEEN THE CPC or CPM model.

Strangely, I don't know where you got your page views calculations from as it wrong. If your site generates 1,200 visitors according to Jetpack, it means you're more likely to record or have around 750-850 daily page views on AdSense. So your calculation is flawed.

The reason for the above is because AdSense works through JS codes and its JS are often blocked by adblockers or tracker installed plugins or extensions which might prevent the JS from rendering properly on the user's browser. Unfortunately, there is nothing you can do to forestall or prevent that.

Plus, your site has a higher of being rejected rather than get approved. Adsense is much more tougher now and contents such as jokes, quotes or whatever are not really considered as unique.

That's good of you leah shearibu.

Congratulations on your new born baby.

Seems you really enjoying there.

This is tasteless. Where is your sense man?

FrLukas:
Please where can I get this ton of videos you talked about?

On YouTube, Associated Press channel. You might want to start with 'Ojukwu Press Conference'. If you see the one prior the war, there should be suggestions of other videos within AP's archive.

NgeneUkwenu:
That is the question INEC should answer... Go and read the Judgment of the Supreme Court in Wike Vs Peterside in 2015, where Wike Polled 1,015, 000 votes while the total accreditated votes were less than 200000.

True. This is a court of law in question. If truth and justice is far from the court, then it can no longer be referred to as a haven for justice.

Blindersoff:
Here’s the summary of this ruling

1. Hope alleged that duly signed results from 388 PUs were excluded
2. He provided these duly signed results as evidence
3. INEC said those were not results from those PUs
4. Ok, show the real results na..they could not
5. SC to INEC/Ihedioha: Gerarahia!

The added votes far exceeded the accredited voters count. That is the bone of contention and not how he won. The figures do not add up.

ChiSomtoChi:
It's a lovely thing you agreed they are all Igbos. Which means what you are trying to insinuate is that Aniomas and Onitshans are Igbos. Thanks for the agreement.


We killed only 22 politicians. You killed 100000 Igbo civilians in return.

Who is the Devil between us?

You do believe in cause and effect, right?

CaveAdullam:
One story but in different narrations, colours and sizes begins to make one ponder on that which is true or false. Everyone seems to have verifiable points but none agrees with the other. It means either sides are wrong or just one. But which side will the laymen stand?

d.oclatom, Sanchez.z01, Area4.Area, nap.tu2 please for me personally I want to know at least the truth even if I don't get it all in respect to this matter. You can recommend links/books for proper enlightenment or better still create wonderful threads.

Na beg I dey beg una o.

A wonderful thread and a nice read.

I used to think the Nigerian Government was unfair during the war based on the hearsays but I had a sudden turn around about the whole thing when I dug deeper just to know the truth.

I was born in the West and lived in the East for four years. An interesting thing worthy of note is that a young Igbo dude who has never been to the West and probably never encountered a Yoruba man before will cleanly profile and tell you about the nature of the Yoruba man.

It wasn't too long that I figured that imaginary truths are being handed down from generation to generation. The claim is that the Yorubas betrayed the East during the war as Awolowo promised them soldiers. Awolowo wasn't even in the military!

Oil was the primary reason for the war. The orchestrated coup was a 'take our destiny into our hands kind of coup.

I'll do a detailed thread that will include videos and not narratives from any Nigerian. Videos of Brits and Americans who captured the moment and what went down, as well as their opinions.

The unholy alliance of the North and South started with Azikiwe, just to spite the Western region. The latter just became a political savvy overnight and mastered the game better than its originator.

Reichel99:
Davido has more influence than your akinwunmi adesina, who knows akinwunmi outside this country?

Good Lord! Seriously!?

stapes:
actually, there is some truth to this, the South West is the only region in the south and even in the whole country that'll is holding this contraption together.
Any day the south west gets her shit together and decides to leave this union,it's over

I have always echoed this over the years. The only people Northerners fear in Nigeria is the South West, which is why they constantly look up to them as the long unifying rod of the South. The day the South says no to Nigeria, that is the day the country will either work towards secession or federalism.

Area4Area:
This post has finally summed up exactly what led to the Nigeria we have today.
GREED, GREED and more GREED on the part of Zik, Ironsi and Ojukwu.

Most Igbos of this present generation would never want to hear anything about it since this doesn't go well with their narratives of what happened and for those who knew all along, they wouldn't want the truth to be divulged out, see how they are trying to avoid the thread because they know the write up is but the GOSPEL TRUTH.

The Igbos should atone for the sins of their forebears against Nigeria instead of acting the victim every time.

Very true. Whether or not they avoid it isn't even the concern but certain myths that are fast becoming realities in their world.

Ojukwu could have worked with Boro but he didn't. He could have worked with Nzeogwu but he didn't as he considered him his junior in rank. Azikiwe could have worked with Ojukwu to secure the region but he was more concerned with seizing the West. Interestingly, Ojukwu nursed the same by advancing his soldiers in that direction before he was pummeled at Ore.

Kanu could have worked with Uwazuruike and this other Zion dude but no, they all want to chase individual glory and come out as the one who changed the course of history. The level of greed and lust surprises even the devil.

Magicians:
If you read try this article n believed it then your level of foolish bigotry n senselessness must be divine. Imagine claiming Awo Thy saved federal allocation of each n every Igbo state through out the duration of the war n paid without approval from the president want to keep the place improvised ? Imagine a cursed Azikwe wanting to rule Lagos ?! Nothing person no go read from foolish Igbos littering NL.

I don't want to dwell on the weapon of starvation as warfare the Nigerian Government used on the then Eastern region. I honestly don't. I wish I could re-upload the Associated Press videos on my laptop and then share the links but last time I tried, they were removed from YouTube immediately on violation grounds.

Below are some things to take away from the clips:

1. Ojukwu's 'world press' conference prior the war saw him boasting that the Nigerian government would be surprised. He grinned and stroked his beard in the interview which had so many white pressmen around him. He claimed food had been saved to last his people for so long. This video is still on YouTube, on AP's channel.

2. Ojukwu's mercenaries from Sweden and Belgium trained and worked with the Biafran soldiers and left months after he had no money to pay them. This is also on AP's channel.

3. When the Nigerian Army blocked Port Harcourt, Ojukwu knew he had been dealt a major blow but went on and food ran out among the people. Whatever food was left got stashed in Ojukwu's mansion on his order. From there, he feed only his family and the family of his high-ranking soldiers. Taken down from AP's channel. I saw it at some point but couldn't find it again. Fortunately, it was part of the videos I downloaded on the war from AP's channel.

4. With no food and farms destroyed, the people resorted to feeding off corpses. It started with enemy soldiers until it became almost all corpses. There is a video of how this started on AP's channel.

5. Famine in the Eastern region took a different dimension when younger boys would go very far into war territories to look for corpses. As it became dangerous to proceed, the younger ones felt it more. The war could have been ended on account of the people but Ojukwu immediately asked the white press men attached to his mansion to do another world press conference and a documentary of the starving children. It would later be sent to Europe. The initial goal was to get the military and support from certain European countries. This should still be available on AP's channel.

6. The UN rallied and sent several aids through drop planes to the Eastern region and also missionaries who set up a refuge camp to look after the starving people. I'm sure we've all seen this one video.

7. Ojukwu wanted to use the UN drop planes to bring in more weapons which the UN didn't agree to. The UN claimed it only render aids and not take part in wars. An obviously frustrated and angry Ojukwu barred UN planes from bringing food and medical supplies as he perceived the UN as an enemy since they weren't willing to 'help his people'. To cover this, he sacked all white press men attached to his mansion as they started negative reporting against Ojukwu and the AP claimed 'he was more interested in his ego than his people'. This video should still be on YouTube. A further indictment by the FBI some years ago fingered Ojukwu and Gowon as the primary culprits responsible for the death of several.

8. Ojukwu's last blow was the advancement of his army to 'seize Lagos'. Unfortunately, he was dealt a heavy blow at Ore and that accounted as his major defeat and the decisive loss that led to his fleeing surrender.

9. Meanwhile, Azikiwe had just one goal; to capture Western Nigeria through his NCNC and become the most powerful politician in the South. It was what led to the Awolowo forming the Action Group, to not only checkmate Azikiwe in the West but end Ibo domination. Did Awolowo succeed? Hell yes!

MartinCorridon:
It is amusing to see how igbo boys are trying to derail the thread, copying the whole article etc

This is so enlightening and they hate to taste the truth because it is so bitter.

They foolishly tried to lord over others and ended up worse than slaves

Nothing in the article is new to me. Like I have tons of videos from Associated Press prior the war, build up to war and even post war (which many people know).

The Brits planned out what they thought was best for Nigeria but the North and West never wanted the country while Azikiwe championed the Nigerian cause.

I constantly revisit the secession speech of Azikiwe and can't help but curse the man when I do. Had the North been allowed to secede and the West find its way, there wouldn't have been a Nigeria today and these complex problems we have wouldn't have seen the light of day.

Below is Azikiwe's speech when he read the riot act to the North and possible dangers of what would happen.
https://nigerianwiki.xyz/nnamdi-azikiwes-secession-speech-of-1953/

Was it because Azikiwe loved the North? No! His idea of national cohesion was founded on dependence. Oil had not been discovered at the time. The North had the ground nut pyramids and dedicated farming life. The West had massive cash crop reserves, the Mid-West had rubber and Palm Oil and the Eastern region was largely coastal with palm oil as their main.

Azikiwe and Ironsi both fashioned out that a central government would see that there would be even distribution of these resources from the other areas. The North were comfortable with being alone and so was the West. Sadly, it wasn't too long from then that oil was discovered in Oloibiri.

The same Ojukwu who led military power to the Delta to arrest Boro found it convenient to declare Biafra after an Igbo coup backfired. The rest today is history.

One take away from the whole thing was politics, greed and more greed. Had Azikiwe and Ironsi had the foresight Balewa and Awolowo had, we wouldn't be caught up in this present Nigeria.

When you refuse to be diligent and be a master of your work at your young age, you would use your old age to be serving people and doing houseboy work.

Look at this OP. He has been a political lackey since 2003 when he was supporting Obanikoro. He is the most unstable political poster on Nairaland and had become a nuisance. Even his people in the PDP don't trust him. He wasted his life arguing politics on Nairaland, see where he is today? A paid hack for an ororo company.

Lamanii22:
How people are attracted to each other over social media still beats my imagination... Although she revealed herself to you... You saw hell physically and you decided to enter it... Anyway.... Such a terrible lady anyway... Were you even desperate for a wife or what?? Are you that old..

Don't be too quick on the emboldened. One of my relationships started on 2go and it lasted over four years. The roadside, school, church, the market, on social media, etc, any of these can be a start and it doesn't guarantee or imply it wouldn't work out. I mean, we meet family friends with different orientation from ours and come to a conclusion that it can't work out.

His errors were the signs he ignored and his strength he overestimated.

Dsimple:
Hmmmm at the bolded.
It's really an unfortunate situation to find oneself in I must confess, if not that she has a baby for me whom I named after my dad and the apple of my eyes, I will have press a criminal charge on her for stealing my ATM card and money, at least this can't be denied because I believe the ATM machine she withdrew from will have snapped her.

I totally understand your position. However, you might take her up on theft but since you said you guys still talk often, I'd suggest you just let it slide as it is somewhat obvious the spark hasn't totally died off.

You said something in one of your posts which I feel it is needless to quote. The problem wasn't because you met her on social. We meet people everyday and I met some of the best people in my life on this very forum, just as I met some that are not so blessed up there. My point is, due diligence wasn't checked and it came down hard on you.

If you are marrying a girl from a broken home, be sure her father didn't mess up so bad that her motto is 'men are scum' and her mother didn't train her to become a cold fish around guys. I'm sorry but I personally classify ladies like that and those who suffered huge heartbreaks that make them suspect their new man as cheats as 'condemned'. They obviously don't, can't and won't make good partners as they will always be skeptical and resent the next poor dude.

It isn't worth the stress. She didn't play a fast one. Just believe you let go for your kid's sake

Ladylite:
This is a real question that many singles have not begun to consider or discuss before marriage.

I hope you know that your wife loves you, but the sacrifice you have to make is beyond sleep, it also involves sex... Now that there is a 7month old blessed baby with you, simply DATE your wife.....

By date I mean, treat her well, do things for her and be very nice to her as expected, buy her gifts, pamper her... She will give you sex.. I assure you.

Your wife is going through a major phase and you need to understand it and be there for her.

I hope this is clear

I don't comment on certain issues for some reasons but this comment of yours makes no sense. It isn't like they are fighting or something. The problem is lack of creativity and insensitivity and you you find it convenient to say he should court and date her to have her open up.

Like someone said, some of you modern girls ehn, God help you all.

Dsimple:
My mom also went spiritual cos of her just to cure her of her incessant ailments which was cured.
There are times she will shut the door at me when I came back from work.
She walks out of my dad anytime he's trying to settle our quarrels.
She's reported me to all the Alfas in my neighborhood, when they managed to call me to hear my own side of the story, she'll be compel to beg me but when we get home she will take back her pound of flesh insisting that I'm too small for her to be begging.
I normally send money to her mother and sisters when ever they are in need even without disclosure to anyone including herself.
She's been threatening me with death since she left and that I can never see any woman to marry.
It's a mystery to me that her family is breeding place for baby without father even though their fathers are alive.
Someone told me that my child is with her mum and that she is in Lagos in search of the next victim.
Her younger sister got married to an army officer yet turned him to fool through jazz and has taken their child to her mom for training when the young man still has a mother of his.

The head is off already. All that is left is 'had I known'. The signs were there, you saw it but you ignored and thought she'd change for you.

At this point, it is safe to see yourself as a sperm donor. Her family seems messed up but love didn't make you see this until marriage opened your eyes.

Perhaps you send your family to meet her mother and request for your child or you go the legal way. In the end, you'll have to spend to pursue this if you desperately want the child.
