I just bought a package on fiverr, and I noticed I had to pay a whooping 18.4% extra in addition to the total cost. The 18.4% extra comprises VAT and service charge.

In other words, if you bought a package priced $1000, you will pay additonal $184 which will now total $1184.

If this isn't day light robbery what else is it??

The unfortunate thing here is that I really need the service of some guys on the platform. I'm already thinking of how to contact the seller and take the business off their yeye fraud platform.

Haba, at most, 10% everything is manageable.

I'm passed off.

I also received this message from the mandate thieves. You can believe whatever you want but the biggest truth is Bat never won the election. The guy that won Bat in lagos and also won abuja is the true winner.

I don't hate Bat, in fact I love his demeanour. However, this guy represents everything fraud. And no true and patriotic Nigerian will want such a thief to preside over the affairs of millions of people.

If you don't have money to donate and support his health challenges why not keep your dirty mouth shut. Abi you want to invite health challenges to yourself.

Then work hard, post more articles, and get on mediavine. You need 50k visits (sessions) a month to join.

In the meantime, have you tried affiliate marketing on the site to increase earnings?

I get more than 50k visits, though I haven't tried mediavine.

As for affiliate, I had Amazon until they closed my account in February for mistake I made 3yrs ago.

This mediavine do you know if they operate like ezoic?

The main reason why ezoic slows site down is because they re-route every traffic through their own IPs. Do you know if mediavine operates on same model?

If you are with ezoic and your adsense is active, you should try the mediation in your dashboard. That might help you earn more.

Yeah I did all of that and my earnings actually increased with ezoic, however my site became slower. I had no other choice but to remove it

webincomeplus:
I didn’t waste time before installing my preferred plugin for strategic ad placement, “Insert Post Ads”. Then I inserted my ad code into the plugin and specified the spots on each page where I want the ads shown.

After doing all of that, I waited patiently to see how the site would fare income-wise.

Please can you shed more light here?

What plugin do you use for inserting ads?

How do you place your ads?

What ad format works best; square, in-article, vertical or horizontal??

Do you have auto ads enabled

Sorry for the many questions, I get about 11k US traffic but my RPM that was at $12 is now dragging position with the floor at $3-4.

I tried ezoic, my RPM boosted back up and earnings increased but my site became very slow.

I appreciate your answer.

If I may ask what was the pace of the fastest person or anyone you know that finished the race.

When will the race hold again? I would like to participate

MXrep:

If you don't create threads like these their media propaganda against Igbos will stick and they will continue to gloat. It's good to puncture their empty claims which they have pushed against Igbos over the decades. It's okay to remind them that the "gala seller" just bought over "Forbes billionaire" shares

Well I think you have a point. The media carries a lot of power.

I doubt if Nigeria will ever be one.

manutdrichie:
IPOB man should not be seen anywhere close to our islamic republic of Sudan, he may convert everyone to Christianity there, Dont trust them😀

Honestly it is only here in Nigeria you see politicians use same pattern (religion and ethnicity) every four years to canvass for our votes not what they have achieved in the years freely given to them.

For example in Lagos the self acclaimed sophisticated land 😀😀😀

2007 ethnicity was used, igbos want to take lagos

2011 ethnicity was used, Igbos wants Lagos by all means so that they will start selling lagos lands to their people😂😂😂😂

2015, igbos are jealous of yorubas progress, so they want to hijack Lagos

2019, igbos wants our land so they can include it as part of biafra land😂😂😂😂

2023 Igbos want to install their son Chukwudi gbadebo so they can replace our Obas with Eze and introduce IPOB

Same preaching every four years yet the most educated region believed them

I seriously doubt you're an igbo man but if you're, then you're very foolish. Stop making making enemies for igbos.

Elections have come and gone. BTW I'm an igbo man and I hate statements like this. There are many hausas in this abuja helping igbo supporting igbo business.

I want to be part of this marathon, please where are they registering Any one with vital info should drop it here.

I have searched the Pavilion, I'm seeing Pavilion restaurant. Is that the place?

I asked ChatGPT what will be the effect of subsidy
removal on the naira. Here's what he has to say.


The removal of fuel subsidy can have both short-term and long-term effects on the value of the naira. In the short-term, the removal of fuel subsidy can lead to an increase in the price of fuel, which can cause inflationary pressures in the economy. This can cause a depreciation of the naira as the purchasing power of consumers decreases, leading to a decrease in demand for the currency.

However, in the long-term, the removal of fuel subsidy can lead to a reduction in the government's expenditure on fuel subsidy, which can free up resources for investment in infrastructure and other areas of the economy. This can lead to increased economic growth, which can increase the demand for the naira, leading to an appreciation of the currency.

Overall, the effect of fuel subsidy removal on the naira will depend on a variety of factors, including the implementation of appropriate economic policies and the response of investors and consumers to the change in fuel prices.



I also asked ChatGPT how subsidy removal will affect NGN/USD rate, here what he has to answer.


It is difficult to predict with certainty how the removal of fuel subsidy in Nigeria will impact the exchange rate between the Nigerian naira and the US dollar. There are many factors that can influence the value of a currency, including economic conditions, political stability, inflation, interest rates, and international trade policies, among others.

In general, the removal of fuel subsidy could lead to an increase in the price of fuel, which could result in higher inflation and a weaker currency. However, it is possible that the removal of fuel subsidy could also lead to improved economic conditions, such as increased revenue for the government, which could strengthen the currency.

Ultimately, the impact of the removal of fuel subsidy on the exchange rate will depend on a variety of factors, including the overall state of the Nigerian economy, the government's economic policies, and global economic conditions.


My deduction is that subsidy removal will definitely skyrocket prices of goods especially with the greedy nature of the average Nigerian. This will in turn result in inflation, purchasing power will be low and demand for naira will fall.

However, if govt implement good policies and utilise the money judiciously, the naira will see a rebound in the long-term. Otherwise, its otilo

And as far as I'm concerned, Tinubu isn't ready to serve, there are too many thieves.

In conclusion, we'll most likely see a slightly weaker naira against the USD

Makavelli001:
This is how the global press described what we did with ourselves called elections:


*The Economist* said a _“chaotically organized vote and messy count”_ gave Nigeria a new president.
https://www.economist.com/middle-east-and-africa/2023/03/01/bola-tinubu-nigerias-political-kingmaker-wins-a-flawed-election

*The Financial Times* said in an editorial comment that our presidential election was _“deeply flawed”_ and the winner _“a wealthy political fixer.”_
https://www.ft.com/content/ad9bbed0-a2c4-4e20-96ae-c23cd42296fe

*The Guardian of U.K.* described the winner as _“an immensely wealthy veteran powerbroker trailed by corruption allegations which he denies.”_
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/02/the-guardian-view-on-nigerias-election-a-fresh-start-not-this-time

*The New York Times* described him as _“a divisive figure in Nigerian politics.”_
https://www.nytimes.com/article/nigeria-election.html

*Robert Rotberg,* founding director of the Harvard Kennedy School's programme on intrastate conflict, wrote an opinion for *Canada's influential Globe and Mail*; its headline: _“Bola Tinubu's election is another triumph for Nigeria's corrupt old guard.”_
https://www.theglobeandmail.com/amp/opinion/article-bola-tinubus-election-is-another-triumph-for-nigerias-corrupt-old/

*The Times of London* was the most disrespectful. It used this very bad phrase: _“a wealthy kleptocratic 'godfather' of politics”_ to describe the person who will replace our very clean Buhari on May 29, 2023. As bad as those characterizations are, they are not as damaging as the Financial Times' revelation that it personally _“witnessed armed men remove a presidential ballot box in Surulere, Lagos”_ on Election Day.
https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/nigeria-presidential-election-bola-tinubu-claims-victory-as-rivals-demand-rerun-n07228v57

*The CNN* last Friday played back a part of Bola Tinubu's acceptance speech where he described what he got as _“a serious mandate.”_ A CNN anchor then asked if it _“was really a mandate”_ with less than 10 percent of the registered voters behind it. He must be wondering what kind of people are these? The CNN and that anchor were not the only ones bemused by our electoral culture, our elections and their outcomes.

One of *Germany's* largest newspapers, *Sueddeutsche Zietung*, had unflattering words for the winner; it also queried the legitimacy of a mandate that was spurned by 90 per cent of the voting population.

*Aljazeera* ran a special report on how the election was disrupted in Lagos last Saturday. The headline is: _'How violence robs Nigerians of their votes.'_
https://www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/2023/3/2/how-violence-robs-nigerians-of-their-votes

*The Washington Post* quoted Matthew Page, associate fellow with Chatham House’s Africa Program, as accusing INEC of making both deliberate and unintentional mistakes: *_“They raised the hopes about the election and its transparency, and then they dashed them. When the opposition says the process was broken, it’s hard to argue with them.”_*

*Other Newspaper Headlines from around the world*

*Austria:*
_A drug baron wins the presidential election in Africa’s biggest economy._

*Poland:*
_Nigeria chooses a known drug lord as LEADER._

*Canada:*
_"Depression, anxiety, uncertainty be-clouds Nigeria’s political space a drug-kingpin wins the election."_

This is stinking!

Next time include your sources, don't be lazy.

gfelo:
good spoke, but you know we are all human beings, for peace to reign and if actually we are one Nigeria the constitution should be amended let the three majority tribe be given equal right so that the presidential seat will be rotated among the three majority tribe, then we will know that we are ONE NIGERIA, not when is being shared among two tribe.

you are not a true blood of Igbo origin.

If we go by your analogy, tiv, ijaw, gbagyi and a host of other sizable ethnic groups will scream I justice.

From what I can deduce, you must align with the north to get presidency. You can get presidency y aligning only with the south.

Brendaniel:


With injustice?....

Not only igbo suffer injustice in Nigeria, every other time suffers injustice in this country. Yorubas aren't doing better than igbos but see tinubu approached buhari, formed alliance and today he's got the support of the north

Brendaniel:


Oga you are not Igbo, you have every right to live in any part of Nigeria and you have the rights to support your candidate without lying.

Support your candidate with your full chest but don't claim what you are not...

I don't need to prove anything to you. All I'm saying is that the igbo nation stand to gain so much in the Nigerian project

OkwuEziokwu:
Ozu, drop your address!

Hope you won't start shouting biafra now that obi wasn't declared the winner.... if you have Sense, you will understand that the South East has lost so much in the last 7yrs a result of the biafra shit.

Many have also been killed for nothing. I doubt you live in the east or have lost anyone.

Well, we the well meaning igbos will continue to push for a better treatment for the igbo nation in the Nigerian project

I don't need any soothsayer to tell me this election was heavily rigged in favour of APC. However, we're one people.

Anyone who's aggrieved with the Verdict of inec should go to court.

All those shouting war, nah thunder go fire you all. War isn't anyone's mate. We need peace in Nigeria to excel.

I'm from enugu state, so for my igbo brothers, I don't want to hear anything biafra. Biafra existed and ended in 1970. Nigeria is our only country and we must continue to pray for it to succeed by every means.

Igbos must build bridges with every tribe in Nigeria and also learn to respect their host (we travel alot).

In all, peace is the only way we can move forward in Nigeria.

Long live the federal Republic of Nigeria.

Live from Abuja Municipal, Kabusa ward, ketti primary school 2 polling unit.

May God replenish your loss in thousand folds.

But boss I will soo appreciate if you can introduce me to that amazon associates please

It's not rocket science,

1. Find a product on Amazon with low competition.
2. Do keyword research to find answers to questions surrounding that product.
3. Create your website
4. Write seo optimized articles
5. Try creating backlinks to your posts.
6. Google will pick it up and rank them.
7. Once you have traffic, apply for Amazon associates and earn. Note Amazon are very strict, you could be banned for knowingly or unknowingly breaking any of their rules.

I'm moving away from Amazon already, its not so lucrative unless you have a very huge site.

Tokskob2008:
Bank transfers are pretty bad right now because of the cashless policy no doubt but you just trusting a guy you just met online with that kind of cash is so wrong. If he was one of your old customers I would said you did the right thing by trusting him but you don't know the guy from anywhere at all and that was the first time of doing business with him so what's up with that kind of sudden trust

The truth is that I trust so easily. I didn't get alert when I sold my Watch 7. The alert came in 1hr later.

I learnt my lesson. I'm very certain I can never make this type of foolish mistake again.
