Typical Nigeria....the website doesn't work!

It's actually working. The full-stop at the end of the URL shouldn't be there. So, delete the full-stop and the site would open. Nigeria isn't all bad!

The headline should be, "Tears broke down into Zlatan"

Go with the one that pays better!

hey na u even do human genes sequencing, calm down and Learn. If it is hereditary, it doesn't start the same time.

all the children will have it equally, I know a white family with viltigo. every one of them.

Calm down. As a medical doctor, I've seen several more cases than you have. Like I said, 70% of cases are NOT hereditary, so it shouldn't be surprising that many people have it yet none of their relatives do.

Queenlovely:
this disease nearly destroyed Michael Jackson, he went to become a white man.

but if Michael Jackson viltigo is heriditary, how come non of his siblings have it.

Janet Jackson has not turned white with vitiligo, it shows that no be the same papa born Jackson and the rest.

I have a school mate who was heavily spotted because of viltigo. it destroys somebody's beauty and it has no cure.

The fact that something is hereditary doesn't mean you and your siblings must all share it. Haven't you seen a single fair complexioned kid among darker-skinned siblings? Haven't you seen a single SS patient among AS siblings? Haven't you seen a single albino kid among normal-skinned siblings? So, what are you saying?

And just so you know, 70% of vitiligo cases are NOT hereditary. That is, it happens mostly in people who have no family history of the vitiligo. Only 30% of cases are hereditary.

Sho!!
How much will 1 Million Dollars now be in Iran

You can't calculate that na. Even your calculator would shut down!

smile11s:
We cannot keep waiting for the government while they continue to loot from no power supply.

In the future, there will be no government and politicians because corporations will take over.

So make politicians enjoy it for now.

And by then, they would have looted the company so dry that countries we are owing would have taken over our major assets, leaving little to nothing for the fools to loot.

Imagine having the Chinese running our railway or power systems effectively. Yes, they make all the money, but the common man enjoys better amenities and good value for money. If that should happen, the greedy leaders would be the losers. It's my personal wish for them.

DollarBuddy:
Hi guys,

Please I want to create a blog and I want to include AdSense to it.

However, I am aware that Nigeria gets a very low CPC so I want my traffic to be from another country with a high CPC.

Is there anyway I can create a blog with traffic from a country with a high CPC?

All you have to do is set the geotargeting feature in Google Search Console to any country you wish to target, and Google profiles your site for that country.

But if you already plan to use a ccTLD such as .ca, .co.uk, etc., there's no need for that, as the target country is automatically set by Google to the country that ows that domain extension.

Skynet45:
like say people wan collect the vaccine before. But Buhari has failed, during Jonathan time Ebola that has 90% death rate was controlled in two weeks. Chai that's what happens when u put illiterate Aboki in power

I would agree that the present government has failed Nigerians.

But in your bid to make Jonathan look better than he was, you twisted facts. Ebola wasn't controlled in Nigeria in two weeks! Get your facts right. Ebola ravaged this country for at least 3 months. There's a reason why the movie made to chronicle the Ebola pandemic in Nigeria was titled, "99 days".

VeeVeeMyLuv:
Doctor which training did u your that made him behave like a maniac?

So, your parents never flogged you or gave you punishments in the past? Does that make them maniacs, too?

Dpharisee:
Elon Musk produces electric cars and high powered batteries called Power Wall with 20 years warranty.
The reality is that Elon Musk is making the oil which we are still spending billions to search for in the North to become useless.
Some gas and coal power plants in UK are on the verge of shutting down because many homes can now generate their own power and even sell excess back to the grid using Power Wall and solar.

Countries like UAE and Saudi Arabia seeing the 'danger' posed by Tesla are developing futuristic models to diversify from oil which may not rebound as demand remains low coupled with the impact of Covid19.

Nigeria which failed to plan is now in a tight corner, UK and France in 2019 have already declared given a 10 year deadline to phase out all petrol and diesel cars. This is what happened to coal driven locomotives years back when oil and gas was discovered.

Nigeria seeing Elon Musk gradually taking down our sole source of revenue resorted to taking loans from China, IMF, world bank, Brazil and babiya Allahring for help in taking care of either insecurity or Covid19 vaccine.

Now that we have over borrowed and the likelihood of repayment from oil is now slimmer and our creditors are no longer ready to grant us more loans we are resorting to stealing people's money that are dormant in the banks to pay civil servants salaries instead of looking for the owners

So much brains you've got. Quite spot on!

What I know is that there's a limit to virtually everything man can do. And that's why I'm sure our leaders can't continue borrowing forever. My personal wish is to see this country become so indebted that our creditors (China, etc.) would start taking over the management of our major assets. That way, those assets would be well maintained and the average man would still enjoy those basic amenities. Imagine if the whites could take over our rail system, develop it to world-class, and maintain it perfectly. Yes, they'll be the ones taking the profits, but the average man would enjoy the services.

I'm in for anything that would cut out the funds available for looting by our useless leaders. They have proven beyond doubt that they don't care if the worst happens to this country. So, if we get "recolonized" by having our major sectors taken over by creditors, that would be sweet because the average man would enjoy even more than when our leaders have been in control.

The truth is not based on what anyone says yet in your next sentence you say I should go to Facebook groups to listen to what people say.

I've been doing this for years so minus what anyone has to say, I can tell you that if open a new blog on blogger versus a self hosted blog you will see a little traffic from day 1 assist compared to zero traffic for weeks. That is personal experience speaking.

For you to discount Neil Patel asked a "real expert" means you really don't know a thing.

That's like saying we should not listen to Pele and go to the neighbouring field where the real experts are.

We can move on whenever you want sir.

Seems you missed the part where I stated that SEO truism is based on palpable results, not what people say. I've personally experienced countless results that contradict Neil Patel's assertions. And the same runs for many others I've met online. That doesn't mean I don't respect him, but he has his gaffes, and his words shouldn't be taken as the absolute truths about SEO or blogging. Of course, no one person deserves that.

The fact that you tried bringing football into a discussion on SEO and online business leaves a lot to wonder about.

As for the "little traffic" from Blogger, you mean the bot traffic that Blogger's traffic counter can't differentiate from real traffic? Why not try add a CTA to a fresh Blogger blog and see how many responses you'd get from that "traffic"?

SmartyPants:
Your reasoning is based on a common logical fallacy. Correlation does not equal causation.

Because blogger is severely limited in terms of design options, most serious publications which have the resources to rank for popular keywords won't use it. It's that simple, and has nothing to do with search engines.

BTW Neil Patel lists blogger as one of his top 5 blogging platforms. Do you know better than Neil Patel?

https://www.google.com/amp/s/neilpatel.com/blog/best-blogging-platforms/amp/

Oga, nothing runs more true than palpable reality. In online business, the truth isn't based on what anybody says. It's based on what we see. Go to serious Facebook groups where the real experts are (such as SEO Signals Lab) and ask about Neil Patel, and you'd be schooled.

Blogger's limitation isn't based on design options only. It's severely handicapped in the aspect of SEO and versatility.

The biggest fallacy flying around about Blogger is, "It's owned by Google, so Google loves it and gives it preference in search results." Even Google would be disappointed in anyone peddling that crap around.

Anyway, can we just forget this and move on?

ikorodureporta:
must you be into creating posts.. what if it's a news blog that only requires referencing the original author


me na nairaland prototype I won create

Copy and paste blogging no longer works! The least you can do is to rewrite to produce something unique.

Note, also, that Nairaland is NOT a blog!

SmartyPants:
Update your knowkedge.

1. Blogger is owned by Google so there is no better way to gain traffic than using blogger

2. has paid packages now

Stop posting nonsense with confidence. Search Google for 100 random keywords off your head and tell me how many of them have Blogger and free-hosted WP sites ranking number 1 for them.

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.

Well, the truth is, you can't learn everything there is to blogging in a single forum reply.

But I'll drop a few golden nuggets that can set you on the path to successful blogging.

1. You need to hone your writing skills. I don't know how good you are as a writer. But having solid writing skills is a must-have requirement for blogging, especially if you're targeting beyond the Nigerian audience. So, if you're not confident enough in your writing skills, you might want to take some time to work on that first.

2. Choose a niche that a lot of people are really interested in and that they search the web for information about. More importantly, write on topics that people want to read -- not what you think they would like to read or what you feel like writing on. If you're blogging for just fun, it's okay to write on anything. But if you really want to make money from blogging, you have to see it as a business and give people exactly what they want. To understand what people really want, you must learn and understand keyword research.

3. Don't waste your time on unnecessary stuff like trying to perfect your blog's design or getting it to look exactly like another blog you found. Trust me, nobody visits a blog to admire its design. People visit blogs for information that would help them.

4. For a start, don't bother yourself about making money. Building traffic, followership, and establishing yourself as an expert comes first. Only after you've achieved these should you start thinking of monetization. So, now isn't the time to spend hours reading stuff on Adsense, affiliate marketing, or other monetization options.

5. You must be patient. It might take up to many weeks to months to start generating decent traffic consistently. So, if you're looking at blogging as the sure way to help you settle some debts or start earning about N100,000 monthly from next month, go find a job!

6. Don't waste too much time reading stuff about blogging. There are loads of stuff online that are downright contradictory and confusing. And you'd come across tons of technical stuff that you don't really need for now. So, don't fall into the pit called "analysis paralysis".

7. Avoid starting on a free platform such as Blogger or . We've gone past the age where people and search engines take freely hosted blogs seriously. Setting up a self-hosted WordPress blog shouldn't cost you more than N15,000.

8. Be consistent. The major task involved in blogging is content creation. That is, writing new articles. Bear in mind that you have to do this on a frequent basis. Consider thrice weekly at least. But more importantly, be consistent with whatever number of articles you set for yourself.

9. Avoid being swindled. I can tell you categorically that, for now, you don't need anything like backlinks or other shitty services that some people might pitch at you just to swindle you of your hard-earned money. So, before paying for anything, be sure that it's something you really understand and are sure you really need.

10. Find a good mentor. Your best bet is a Nigerian blogger who has years of experience under his/her belt and has achieved multiple forms of success through blogging. You can also find and join Facebook and Whatsapp groups for Nigerian bloggers. Now, there are many groups out there where loads of useless, irrelevant, and opinionated stuff are being recycled. Avoid those!

I've been using my line 2005. It was on Econet, so it's not a recycled line.

Madibah:
Olodo no bobo yi sha

That's an alligator
Crocodile can't stand with hand stretched

Alligator is far more bigger than making it comparison to lizard

Make your findings about them, alligators can be 15ft big or bigger

Thanks for schooling that ill-informed clown. Mere looking at the head, you can tell an alligator (rounded head) from a croc (pointed head).

reallest:
Olorun maje,there are two clubs in England that I hate with passion,Assnal and zebra club

But people like you take the fun out of sports. If you're not supporting a team, it's OK. But to HATE them? That's just senseless!

Same goes for those Ronaldo vs Messi fans who behave like skunks. Love one then leave the other alone. Hating has no place in sports. It defeats the objective.

Dongreat:
Wait I though this scam is over? Is NCDC still looking for Christmas money?

Well I am more focused on the recent EndSARS protests by our mothers. When I am done with that then we will get COVID-19 time.

PS: Since the arrival of COVID-19 in Nigeria no one around me, or 250mile radius has gotten it. Only on the pages of newspapers I get to see cases but well...

How many people around you have gotten HIV/AIDS? How many people around you died of Ebola during its outbreak?

Globad:
How is the country wicked for this?

Shouldn't a dud cheque or a failed transaction come with charges or a penalty? What of the charges incurred by those two processed it? Who will pay?

If you don't have enough balance in your account, don't issue a standing order or direct debit, or cancel the one you have issued.

It is irresponsible to issue or sustain a direct debit on unfunded accounts. It's also criminal if it's for a service that you have already enjoyed.

On this one, I don't see why Nigeria is a wicked country as you have said unless you're willing to educate me on it.

You’ve got sense. Majority of those typing rubbish replies never read the post in detail. Only a crook places a standing order on an account that isn't funded.

olaric:
Stop calling people "foolish" because they differ in their choice; rather work harder to fix this country.

It's like the guy is directly or indirectly feeding fat on Nigeria's crude oil money. Haha.

Dedetwo:
Most Africans are dunces. The Biden in US had hinted 2025 as the time to phase out petrol-powered vehicles in US yet most foolish Nigerians want such person in power. When will African learn how to play politics?

So, why insulting others just because they hold different views and wishes. If Biden decides to phase-out gas-powered vehicles by 2025, how should that be a problem? So, because some economies would be hurt by that policy, it shouldn't be implemented, even if it's good for the US? Is Biden responsible for the Nigerian government's foolish over-dependence on oil?

If you have other reasons why you hate Biden, come out straight. This card you just played is a lame one!

According to fools, all of these happen by mere coincidence - yet the same process plays out accurately for virtually all humans on earth.

Coincidence that has repeated itself in zillions of humans?

UPDATE: JOB POSITION FILLED!!

I need a few top-notch writers for a project that involves writing 500- to 700-word blog posts.

Payment is N1.5 per word (but I'd pay more if the quality of your writing is world-class!).

If you're the type that skimps on deadlines and is quick to present shitty excuses, this gig isn't for you, as deadlines would be darn strict.

If you're the type who is yet to figure the differences between "I'm" and "Am" or between "Advice" and "Advise", this gig isn't for you.

If you're not ready to research deeply and write on a wide range of topics, please, just pass!

And if all you've written in your life are fiction and academic writing, this isn't for you.

If you're not responsive to communication and don't check your email and Whatsapp messages frequently, this isn't for you.

NOTE: If your samples aren't convincing enough, you might be required to write a short test article on a specified topic. Of course, you'd be instantly paid for the test article IF it meets our standards.

NOTE AGAIN: If you don't get a reply within 3 days of sending in your application, it means you didn't make the cut.

INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT?

Simply send samples of your best works that have been published online to basicfreelanceAT gmailDOT com, and type "THIS GIG ROCKS" at the bottom of your application, so I can be sure that you really read the project description.
