Sometimes you're not ugly, your eyes also play a big role in people's mental image of everything about you.

Homie...

Hope you never shoot that guy wey crench your lappy?

My boss, unfortunately...
Your advice and that of others did the magic, although he was arrested for another crime the next day. Bro, I'm available for that update .

Op me and you get the same shape of head but the ladies in my life long pass train.


I don't even post my pictures anywhere, my personality is all that matters.

I've dated plenty chicks on NL without they even seeing my picture.

Just craft a personality that solely defines you, be different from the every day guy that girls meet and watch your stock over rise.



One girl once told me that if I was just a little bit handsome than I am right now, girls would be crawling on the ground just to get me to acknowledge their pleasantries, cause as I ugly and short like this, girls choke for my DM begging to have my attention.


And NO, I'm not rich neither do I simp around women, I just do what I want when I want like a Boss.

Iambetter:
go and take the #blackpill

You want to damage him completely? 😐

But seriously, most of these players I see on the street aren't so handsome yet have girlfriends but someone like me with my pretty brown eyes don't because I'm too focused on making that money. When I was a teenager and a kid, I thought I was ugly even when it was obvious I wasn't.

MrCork:
Brother u are not really ugly

Oh my god, Mrcork is being nice today.

Bgad:
Told ya.. no peace

OMG 💪🏿😭

Black lives matter? Nah it only matters in the United States not in Africa — I'm gonna make sure a lot of American republicans and white supremacists register on this platform.

The problem with our ancestors was that they didn’t share information with others. The Nsibidi was for a select few.

The same thing happened in Europe and other parts of the world. In some of these European societies, the elites could read and write unlike the other classes — this was a normal occurrence in the Middle Ages.

Most Jewish people in Europe spoke Yiddish because they believed Hebrew was a holy language only meant for prayers. However, that same Hebrew was revived in the 20th century, it is not even the same Hebrew spoken some 2000 years ago. At first, the attempts to revive the language was met with resistance but now a lot of Israelis speak and write in Hebrew.

There's even a YouTube video I came across here where a lady was showing how an Igbo scholar revived the Nsibidi and wrote Igbo language with it.

When I edit this way, I don't touch the cover. If I get a negative review about something in the content and I change that, then I'll edit the cover with 'edited version' so new readers can see the error is no longer there... I followed back.

Thanks boss.

What?! I've never experienced this before, yes beans takes a lot of time to get soft but I haven't experienced this type of duration and I don't want to ever ... That would be heart wrenching !

By the way, the message was well-received.

lexylaw40:
No way ....this is not a yoruba face

You Africans are clownish comedians ! So, let's assume his father was Igbo; does this mean Obasanjo wouldn't inherit his mother's physical features?

By the way, can we see his mother's pictures? Most Yoruba people I've come across had similar facial features but hey before you misquote me, this does not mean the Igbos don't have such features.

Imagine West Africans thinking they look so different from each other . They do but not like you're portraying. I would have accepted him into the Igbo nation but I can't forgive him for what he did to the great Fela.

I used to do that when I first started. But go to the best sellers list, you'll see books with very low bsr having like 100-160 pages. And that is around 15k words or so. So I started targeting between 8k to 12k to publish first.

This is what I do. I have a full table of content for each book. After I get to like 100 pages and there are still topics to cover, I put them aside and publish first. If the book starts ranking and is selling well, I go back and add what I can. This way, I can finish a book in two weeks or a month max. I've found this is easier for me than spending two months on a book.

Some books will flop. No way around it. (This is for us newbies). So I try to minimize my effort on such books.

Excellent tips, boss. I followed you in case you want to drop more tips, thanks alot. I'm going to try to write on phone and edit, format, and publish with my phone. The reason it's hard and frustrating for me is due to my low capacity of my phone — it's just 1 GB ram so it lags a lot.

By the way I assume that when you add more contents, you edit the cover with 'edited version ' or there's no need for that?

nurd:
Learn how to edit and write on your phone. It'll be hard but when you don't have a choice, you have to use the available resources.

As for ads, you can set as little as $5 as daily budget but you can't exhaust it. I suggest starting with 0.10 as your bid. Increase if you're not getting impressions. I started with 0.15 and I still get sales.

I learn kdp is a numbers game, except of course, if you have big bucks for a launch plan and continous advert. So try and publish more by all means, but make it quality. I gun for 50+ pages. I've found the travel niche to be the easiest to make sales. But it is very difficult to write a travel guide well, especially since you won't be visiting most of the locations.

Wow, thanks alot boss. I'm really surprised you said "50+ pages" when I actually stress myself trying to hit 20k to 30k words.

nurd:
I do look into publisher rocket but I don't trust their data. So, I do all my research on Amazon.

I publish high content books.

I also run ads and have spent $31 this month.

This is impressive. I have been doing this but lack of power supply has frustrated me. I only have three books and sold just 2 paperback sales. So, I can even start running ads with as low as $10? Do you mind telling us the niches? It's okay if you don't want to, I understand.

nurd:
Also a Newbie. Started last year.

Wow! Do you use any software like publisher rocket and what kpnd of books do you publish?

Seun:
I never felt the need to use alt accounts to stir discussions, so I never did. This is a false speculation.

Oh boy, he actually replied . Thanks for making that clear, sir.

1Sharon:
It was never a writing system. Just a random pictogram

But still, it could be developed! Let's stop all these fvcking excuses! If you're passionate about learning languages and writing systems, you would understand what I'm saying!


Good job, OP. Keep spitting facts.

Please where in Abuja did this happen and how old will you say the daughter is?

My man is trying to be on the safe side
Anyway, God protect us from evil and demonic cheaters!

This is a difficult question that Igbo historians should seek to explain. I wonder the function of the many History departments in the universities. Nevertheless, it is obvious that the Ibo society was designed to be small and independent with affiliation to one or more hamlets in the locality. It could also be that being forest dwellers gave the hamlets the natural defenses they needed against widespread assaults. The loose confederacy of the Ibo clans obviously made things easy for the colonialists. We also need to factor in the fact that unlike the Incas, the Ibos never built wide roads and had no fast means of communication. Being jungle dwellers, poor means of communication and little-inter clan relationships no doubt meant that the Ibos were never able to fight as a unit. That is why the Aro has to fight the British without help from other Igbo clans. No doubt, the Ibo were neither like the Incas nor even like the Greeks that unite during wars despite operating city states. Nevertheless, it is my belief that if large Ibo clans like the the Aboh, Ukwa and Opobos who first encountered the Europeans around the Niger and Atlantic had more contact with the interior, things may have turned out differently for the Igbo country. But the fact remained that it was a self-sustaining, self-sufficient country that existed mainly at a subsistence level. Nevertheless, what I believe is that the Ibos had the technological expertise to build enough guns to withstand the British but were not organized enough to do it due to extenuating circumstanced. Perhaps the Sahara is to black Africa what the settlement pattern and tropical forest is to Ibo country. Why the Ibo country never united as one? We may never know for sure.

From what I read, it was the Aro "confederacy" that fought with the British — y'know, Aro with their other Igbo allies.

Another thing we must understand is that just like other parts of the world, the Igbos had crazy beliefs which further restricted them from quickly making necessary changes like allying with majority of Igbo state cities after seeing that they could lose their sovereignty to the British.

You can never understand that tribe if you are still stuck with the templates of agendists.

But it's very easy to understand with signs and events

I'm only trying to understand things while standing in a neutral ground. I'm Igbo too.

Broveens42:
When you sell a lie like you did in your last line, it is easier to see through.
Let me enlightene you a bit.

The igbos see god in humans and are not very quick to go on the offensive, (this include forming groups to kill or hunt enemies).

They are wired to be on the defensive because they see beauty (Mma) in every life(Ndu).

Of course, there are consequences for staying true to the concept of "mmadu"
But astrology has a way of aligning and realigning core elements of civilization and superiority.

I'm too broke to buy a lie, let alone sell one to myself. I'm just curious about the Igbo people and the ancient pictures of the Igbo group posted on Nairaland by some tribalists led me to that book.

abba190:
hope u joined our whatsapp group

What WhatsApp group? I didn't know y'all had a WhatsApp group plus this thread makes me laugh .

Broveens42:
Lol. Your second paragraph proves igbos were very civilized.
Civilization can never translate to handpicking or forming alliances with persons based on tribe for political offices and not competence.
Even when they know they are being subjugated, it doesn't affect their sense of judgement.

I wish there is a voice note option on Nairaland, it would have made it easier for me to properly "articulate" my thoughts on this.

While I do understand that all of the empires formed throughout history were made possible by the bronze, iron, gun, and of course blood; however why didn't the Igbos form an alliance with one another?

I read a book written about ancient Igbos by a European but it was clear that he wouldn't never truly paint the true pictures since he was a foreigner with a totally different belief. He even said there were Igbo groups who practiced cannibalism...
