Nigerians can be funny. Always looking for unofficial shortcuts to everything. Instead of using the official phone line, they request the personal number of the customer support staff and start disturbing those ones when they have any slight issue.

The customer support staff is meant to attend to your issues within the banking hall. If you have any issues outside the banking hall or outside work hours, call the dedicated line for customer enquiries.

Nigerians and their shitty sense of entitlement.

It's means PSV have dropped form

You go explain tire!!

Nah PSV arsenal dey raise shoulder ooo

The same PSV beat Arsenal 2-0 last season, when Arsenal was also in impressive form. So, if you want to hate, hate with sense!

N330,000,000!!! Oomo! That's huge!

Despite very high IGR, Ogun State have one of the worst Governor in Nigeria, I wonder how he won second term.

Dapo Abiodun only knows how to starch and iron his agbada.

Rigging, my brother, rigging!

jmoore:
A hospital that is not hidden, doctor operating for many years and NMA is saying he's not their member.

Which senseless statement is that?

Stop embarrassing yourself by attacking what you know nothing about.

The NMA is not responsible for licensing or regulating hospitals. Every state's ministry of health has a department that handles that.

As for licensing doctors, that's the role of the MDCN. NMA is just the recognized body of practicing medical doctors. Their job isn't to roam around the country trying to catch quacks. They have a database of all doctors practising in the country, but how are they to know those who are practising without license?

If anyone is to blame here, it's the mainly the Plateau state ministry of health who allowed that hospital to run for that long and didn't scrutinize the doctor's credentials along the line.

Learn to take corrections with humility bro

Forget all this blabbing you're making.. It's offensive to use the word "crippled" to describe a physically challenged person and no physically challenged person would be happy being described with such word

Do you even need the dictionary to tell you that?

Oga, if you can't read between the lines, kindly swerve! My point is, if Nigerians don't find a word offensive, why demonize the word when talking to Nigerians just because you want to massage Western ego?

The same people who won't stop referring to PHCN as NEPA are quick to dance to the tunes of the West when it comes to political correctness on word usage.

My point? If a better understood word isn't offensive to a Nigerian, use it! That's my opinion, and you don't have to agree.

RosyIsBlessed:
Stfu and learn to humbly take corrections

Calm down, dumbo, and learn to read between the lines. The point I'm trying to drive home is, "Your audience determines what's offensive and what's not." We are not in the West. If Nigerians do not find a word offensive and even relate to it better, use it! That's effective communication.

If you still can't comprehend that, I'm sorry, I can't help you. Just steer clear of quoting me again.

Change is constant...... Don't you think so?

Your change doesn't have to be my change. We both don't have to change in the same way, as we aren't wired similarly. You gerrit?

Sleekfingers:
Oga, it is considered offensive now in modern English.....why some of you hate correction like this?

You don't use "modern" English without sense. In communication, there's location-based context. Which means you choose words based on how they're widely understood in your locale. Some words that are absolutely fine in the UK might be offensive in Australia.

Some words that are offensive in the UK might be better understood here in Nigeria. And when you talk to Nigerians, use what they understand.

Go and face a Nigerian audience and start calling them "people of color". Then tell me how majority would react. We don't have to be zombies! Even in modern dictionaries, there are some words that are officially regarded as "NIGERIAN English".

Sleekfingers:
Using the word crippled to describe someone that is physically challenge is an offensive word.

Check the dictionary for "crippled" and come back to tell us what makes it offensive. Don't bring that "politically correct" sickness of the West to Nigeria.

They came up with the words. We used them innocently in our everyday communication. All of a sudden, they declared the words offensive, trying to play with our brains.

Words like "fat", "homosexual", "black-skinned", etc suddenly became offensive to them. And they replaced with "plus-sized", "people of color", etc. This is Nigeria, where we mean what we say without intending to make anyone feel bad.

Those Westerners with unstable brains should leave us out of their madness. And you don't have to join them. But the choice is yours.

No ministry of gold?

Overseen by the ministry of solid minerals.

The NPF is quite dumb. This is a paintball marker.

What this means is that those who use drills shaped like guns should beware of the NPF. Those dumbos could actually mistake those drills for guns!

NSNO:
It's because of the soil and weather. If you build a road there, it'll last longer than the one built here in the south because of rain, soil type etc.

Agreed, but they still have more extensive road networks and better rural penetration with tarred roads than in the South. Is that due to soil and weather too?

When it comes to infrastructure and people-friendliness, norther governors have consistently proven to be far better over the years.

How many times has a northern governor delayed the payment of their workers' salaries within the last 10 years or even more. Most states in the South don't have a flawless record in that regard.

Tinubu still dey dulling in Niger now Gabon , it's over for ECOWAS and west Africa

BetterHeadline:
This guy always have an opinion on every issue, even on issues he clearly knows nothing about.

The Arabic translation of Jesus is Yasu, not Isa. Isa was merely a quranic character different from Biblical Jesus. Even Arabic Christians use Yasu, not Isa, to refer to Jesus.

And islamic Maryam is also a different character, different from the biblical Mary.

Stop embarrassing yourself. Jesus is 'Isa in Arabic. Even the name on that mosque has the Arabic translation written right beside it. If transliterated using English letters, it reads, "Masjidu Maryam Ummu Isa", which translates directly into English as "The Mosque of Mary, the Mother of Jesus". Ask anyone who can read the Arabic text to confirm. Notice how Isa was translated to Jesus and Maryam was translated as Mary?

In the context of English language, Muslims use the English rendition of the name (Jesus). And that's how the name is even written in English translations of the Qur'an.

"Isa" is merely a transliteration of the Arabic name using English alphabets.

So, your last paragraph is absolute bullshit. The Mary (Maryam) who gave birth to Jesus (Isa) is the same across the whole of religious history. Don't change narratives to suit your whims. The variations in the names are just due to language differences.

It's even distasteful to call someone stupid how much more an EPL coach. Emotions everywhere!

Exactly.

ReacherSaidNoth:
Zinchenko and Timber being unavailable necessitated Partey's inverted RB position.
Flooding the midfield with an inverted fullback is essential to our style and a major part of last season's success.

Because White can't invert and Saliba is a better central defender, Gabriel stayed on the bench. Tomiyasu is athletic so it made sense to play him as the left of the back three.

The only issue we have is up front where Nketiah's style doesn't suit Martinelli like a Jesus or a Trossard does.

Calling Arteta stupid is uncalled for on your part, he knows better than you.

And for bleeps sake how does formation cause injury or red cards?

Stop wasting your time replying fans who behave like illiterates.

The coach understands why he takes his decisions, especially since most of them are usually based on what happens behind the scenes (training, dressing room, etc.). But some "I too know" fans won't just keep quiet and leave him to do what he's being paid for.

It's easy to criticize others when you're not in their shoes but those "agbero-like" fans know nothing.

Use your brain before you talk

The exchange rate isn't an index of a country's financial standing. As of today, 1 USD equals 1,756 Italian Lira. Does that make Ghana or Nigeria better than Italy?

Besides, Ghana only did an abracadabra by redenominating their currency in 2007 by removing 4 zeros from it. So, what we have as 100 cedis today would have been 1,000,000 cedis without that redenomination. That was when their currency seemed to go better than the naira. But is the cedis technically stronger? From all indications, no!

Where there's a problem is when a currency's value to the USD fluctuates or depreciates very fast, and that's what we are facing in Nigeria. No one can dispute that. I only posted this to correct the impression that higher denominations of a currency in exchange to 1 dollar always indicate good standing for a country. Ghana is having serious problems right now, too.

UPDATE FOR JUNE & JULY 2023: SITE STILL GROWING!!

My apologies for skipping the update at the end of June. Been busy with hospital runs (yes, I'm a practising medical doctor) and managing other sites.

Here are the traffic figures for June and July:

June 2023: 9,400 unique visits

July 2023: 12,000 unique visits (despite that the site was down for 2.5 days due to a fire incident at the New York data centre of the hosting service I'm using).

Recall that the traffic in May was 7,300 unique visits. So, the site's traffic is still on an upward trend.

As for income, the figures aren't yet as impressive as I expected because I've been experimenting with different ad networks lately.

Nonetheless, here are the income figures:

June 2023: $102.37 (from Adsense only)

July 2023: $102.53 ($84.48 from Adsense + $18.05 from another ad network).

SITE FOR SALE!!

At this point, I've decided to sell the site to an interested buyer who'll keep growing it from where I stopped. So, I may not provide further updates on the project, as I have proven my point beyond doubt.

Note that I'm not selling with the Adsense account, as the account holds many of my other blogs. However, I have just applied for Adsense again using another account that I plan to sell with the site. I'm still waiting for approval, though.

So, if you have[b] just three million naira[/b] to invest in a growing project that is already making money, come and carry the site ASAP!

If no buyer shows up, I'll keep building and growing the blog. It's been an interesting journey so far.

While I may or may not continue to provide updates on the blog, I'll remain active on this thread to answer any questions you might have that relate to blogging. Thanks!

Dr. Abass (webincomeplus) the OP of this thread or topic is a GENIUS

I decided to follow all his instructions to the T and this is the result.

This domain is barely 6 weeks old.

Since I started blogging I have not had this result in a short time, ever.

I did not use any single backlink.

Nothing special, I simply followed his intructions.

Give this man his flowers jare.

Hey johnpaulnedu,

This is quite impressive! I feel humbled being mentioned here.

All I'll say is, keep going. Keep publishing detailed content like it's the only thing you know how to do. The results will wow you.

val4sure:
Am amazed by your earning with Nigerian audience, I normally have 450 to 600 pageviews daily and 16k to 17k pageviews and my audience is mainly US, UK, CANADA but I can't get past $20 highest I have gotten is $27 per month, i think it's poor considering my traffic and it's audience, how can I improve my earnings with adsense, I currently place ads every 8 paragraph of my content, including the header and footer., Please how can I increase my earnings on adsense. Please help me on this bro

With 450 to 600 daily page views coming from tier-1 countries, you should be doing at least $120 monthly. That's even a conservative figure.

There's most likely an issue with the placement of your ads. If you don't mind, I can help you give it a look. Send me an email (basicfreelance@gmail.com)

Re dese guys d only employees of d FG? dey strike pass ASUU sef

No they are not. But they work the longest hours than other employees of the FG. They use and work with far more equipment than other FG employees. Yet, they are the most overworked FG employees because they are few compared to the population they are meant to treat.

How well can you function at your job if you're given faulty equipment or none at all. How well can you perform your duties if your colleagues in the same department leave and new staff aren't hired, leaving you alone to play the role of 3-4 people?

Now, reflect on those questions and understand the plight of the doctors. Their demands are far more than just money-related. Yet, the government keeps playing them like dice.

Myati:
You're right! Most likely bullous impetigo. However, OP mentioned that they have tried treating with antibiotics and it's not been responsive. As much as impetigo has a low systemic absorption, (hence topical abx preferred), Bullous is quite a stubborn one and it may be worth trying an oral abx with a better systemic absorption such as cefalexin.

Yeah, when it's still not beyond the "topical" level, mupirocin should do, and that's about the only topical antibiotic that works. Well, he didn't mention the "antibiotics". Could be irrelevant ones that have no business with this kind of infection.

Maravilla:
Please doctors in the house, for some weeks now my 4yr old son has this recurring boils on his back and armpit, when I burst them, it brings out a pus like substance and form a sore. I went to the hospital, the doctor said it was a bacteria infection and I was giving some antibiotics, yet so far no tangible results. Please I need your assistance

This is bullous impetigo. Buy Mupirocin cream from the pharmacy and apply on the area. It will heal up within days. Otherwise, you will keep wasting money until it gets worse. It doesn't respond to other topical antibiotics.

Also, act fast, so it doesn't disseminate through the blood. That would be worse!

PS. I'm a medical doctor.

TemplarLandry:
Only archaic men with lowest of the lowest self-esteem imprison their wives under the guise of housewifehood.

Women are not dullards or nonentities. They have parts to play in every functional society. A real woman has to make some money for herself too.

Being a housewife means you're only useful to your husby as a copulation machine and a babies-producing device. Zero contribution to a functional society. That's bad bad.

Your last line ruined your comment. Raising responsible kids, if that's achieved through being a housewife, is one of the best contributions to a functional society if not the best. What's the essence of attaining career success and winding up with spoilt and useless kids who themselves end up being useless to the society?

Your comment is just your opinion. And you shouldn't try to shove it down other's throats by being overly critical of being a housewife or indirectly insulting those who prefer it.

barojana:
Very impressive that Prof Ishaq Oloyede, a moslem would let a Christian University win a jamb award. He is the type of Nigerian we should all aspire to be.

The only little sanity left in this country exists in the private sector. Everywhere in the public sector is full of desperate thieves who see stealing as "grace" and "opportunity".

If the grant was awarded to the public universities, the money would have been embezzled or mismanaged by the corrupt "management" we have at the helm of those government-owned institutions.

For Oloyede to overlook public universities and favour a private institution instead, he must have seen and known a lot. He preferred to give the grant to private institutions who would be accountable for it. And the result is what we have seen here.

Government-owned institutions have been winning massive grants from international organizations since time immemorial. Yet, they have nothing to show for them.

Colon or stomach cancer was the first thing that came to my mind, especially with the weight loss. But he did not say anything about blood in stool thus ruling out colon cancer. Stomach cancer is usually misdiagnosed as ulcer until it becomes invasive. He needs to see a general surgeon, to do a colonoscopy and endoscopy immediately.

Exactly. His silence on blood in the stool is the only reason I'm hoping it's actually not. I was going to think gastric cancer, but early satiety isn't among his symptoms. That doesn't rule it out completely, though, as the possibilities are many until the right tests are done.

In any case, as you rightly said, he needs to see a general surgeon ASAP.
