Celebrities / 20 Profitable Ideas For Linda Ikeji And Her Unprofitable blog by Lakotai(m): 9:35am On Sep 13, 2016
On several occasion’s I have been involve in arguments and discussions concerning the famous blogger; Linda Ikeji.

Mostly in these discussions i stress the fact that Linda Ikeji is loosing out a lot in the blogging world, not only the blogging but other words relating to the blogging world, like the publishing and the media world.

Each time I visit her heavy traffic blog I see great potentials all over it. I see millions of naira she is losing by the day for not executing some actions on her blog or on her self as a person. Because of these money making ideas not utilised on her blog, I deemed it unprofitable enough.

Its aches me a lot that I wish I was her older brother that can sit her down and suggest these ideas to her. But thank God for this space I have here. At least I can publish these 20 ideas and hope she reads or her fans reads it and gets some of these advice to her.

1-
Start a TV show like Oprah, and interview great people, through that means she can always sell ads to organizations and make huge fortune.
(I think she is about to execute this idea now with her Linda Ikeji Media)

2-
If a TV show is like a hell of a hustle for her she can start a radio show instead.

3-
Launch a female magazine, I bet 90% of her female fans will buy the magazine and learn more from their favorite blogger and role model.

4-
Since she was an unsuccessful model, she can make her model dreams come true by establishing a modelling agency firm, where she can help other up and coming frustrated pretty models realize their dreams. She makes money from companies that requires the service of any of her models

5-
Run a tutorial on blogging successfully, by now she surely have enough knowledge about blogging. If she is too busy to sit down and write, she can use a little help from a ghost writer.

6-
Create an insider list program, I mean a kind of special e-mail list program where you share exclusive content with anyone one who is on this list. Of course they will surely pay to subscribe to this list (do you know that you have to pay to subscribe to Kim K’s newsletter?)

7-
Launch a forum where members can discuss divers topics about life the economy and the society at Large. I bet she will pose a big threat to the gigantic Nairaland. She can promote this forum through her blog.

8-
Chat with Linda, here,
to become member and chat with Linda you have to pay a token

9-
Syndicate her blog post as feeds on 5 or 6 popular Nigerian news paper… With good negotiation she can get a financial reward.

10-
Run a blog seminar alongside Laila ikeji and ladun liadi and Bella naija and co.

11-
Fresh stories are the focal point of her blog, so she needs to integrate a tool in her blog where its very easy for her readers to submit fresh stories to her, from here she can scan through the stories and choose the ones worthy of post.

12-
Choose a special day for laura ikeji to educate her blog readers on fashion sense.

13-
Try and reduce the amount of time she changes her blog background all in the name of advert… Some times the image on the back ground of the blog changes the whole ascent and feel of the blog that some of her readers might just pass by her blog thinking that its another blog…

This frequently occurs with internet surfers with short attention span, these set of individuals don’t always have the time to scroll and confirm the name of the site or blog that they are currently on

14-
Integrate a tool in her blog that will allow her loyal readers and followers like bonario and davido driver to automatically get their comment approved without waiting for the comment to go through moderation.

15-
Drop a note in the Linda ikeji monthly give away, that readers and partakers of this giveaway should be aware that their email addresses might be captured by aggressive smart internet marketers…me included! So they should be careful of the kind of email address they drop on her blog.

16-
Each week publish a story of one of her lucky loyal readers and followers.

17-
Create a logo for the name Linda ikeji and intensively brand and trademark her name; Linda Ikeji… If not one day she might receive a note from a very big court in Nigeria or from ICC itself saying that she is no longer allowed to use that particular name.

Back then I learnt that it was her close friend that bought the very valuable domain name; LindaIkeji.com, and refused to give her the name nor sell it to her, maybe now it will be her very beloveth sister that will trademark her name and logo and refuse to hand over the papers and right to her. Life is wicked, Linda fear humans!

17-
Look for a way the blog can be run profitably without her presence… Old age is near and is a very funny experience…so I wonder what a lot of Nigerians will do without their beloved Linda, the time she has is now, to make it easy on them.

18-
Create a music version of Linda Ikeji’s blog where you can single handedly recommend a song to your readers this way you will help the career of young and talented musicians out there, (#CharityThings)

19-
Like Oprah you can run a book club too, here you recommend fresh books from new authors to your readers…you are also helping here.

20-
Create a Linda Ikeji foundation, where you can freely and reasonably give back to the wonderful society that made you who you are today.

Thats all for now...if you still have any ideas for Linda Ikeji you can drop them below.
Politics / What Does Saraki And Donald Trump Have In Common by Lakotai(m): 4:17pm On May 30, 2016
Its just better to die!

Than to have the whole world or 90% of 7 billion people against you.

Hitler was so powerful that his name is all over the book of the history of the world great wars. But Hitler fought with conviction and a very strong clear vision.
But he has one thing that is going well for him.

Churchill too, as well as Mandela. They too has the same thing that is going well for them

What is this thing?

This force also enabled Ojuku to initiate the first Biafra war against Nigeria. This force caused Sudan and Korea to become a double nation. This forced is till keeping Arsen Wenga in Arsenal upon their great losses, while great coaches like Mourinho and Van Gaal were disposed.

What is this drive?

Its now obvious that a man cannot fight a war on his own, there must be a drive. This drive is bigger than the armor and the spear of battalions of soldiers.

These set of people are so zealous and certain that they can never be beaten. The ones that are fighting for a good cause like Mahatma Ghandi wins, but those that their cause is of evil barely finish well.

However, what ever the case might be. They are all driven by one thing. They all have one thing in common.

From Donald Trump to Saraki to Gadafi and Mugabe, they are controlled and inspired by one force. If only their opponent can discover that force they will fall like the great city of Babylon,

Remember that God discovered Babylon’s driving force, because of that Babylon became a thing of the pass. That’s why the bible says that “The secret of a man maket a way for him”

If that is the case, why are some opponent so reluctant to take the stress and discover this force? why do they like to force a stubborn camel to eat what it doesn't want to eat?

Because of this ignorance, the world and the rest of the economy surfers, because the one we delegate to fight our war for us are fighting amiss.

As I compare so many war loads and generals and hero’s I come to see one thing in them. Its like a hidden secret but its not a secret, because it crystal clear!

I see it often that it surprises me and makes me have a deep thought about the importance of a tribe

I see…. A very small group of loyal cabal.

or what do you think they have in common?

Celebrities / 9 Money Making Tips You Can Learn From Tiwa Savage Balogun by Lakotai(m): 4:50pm On May 03, 2016
Tunji Balogun started it!

Why?

I don’t really know, or were they trying to pull a publicity stunt like Bey and Jay?
Teebillz and Tiwa has been together for a long time.
They were friends, then later Teebillz became her manager, then they became business partners.

Tunji who has been married before and who also has a reputation for sticking around rich pretty things couldn’t let go off Tiwa.
While Tiwa’s case was also like Teebillz’s.

The point is this, they were two amateur love birds.
When Tunji started to act the normal way handsome lucky guys act,
it later dawn on all Tiwa’s fans that singing might be the only great talent she has after all.

It became obvious that she knows nothing about love and home building.
Because Tunji might be 89% correct when he claimed that Savage has not cooked for him for the past 3 years! How busy could she be?

Another thing Teebillz said that really got Tiwa on her toes was that
2face Dr Sid and Don Jazzy has all had sex with his celebrity wife!

So who started it?

Who was the original destroyer of this celebrity’s marriage?
Who picked up the gun first and who pulled the first trigger? Well I’m not interested in most of those whos above.

But,

I learned just 9 Entrepreneur lessons from Tiwa Savage and as you already know I can’t wait to share them with you.

√1. Seize The Opportunity
Her album RED is out! Do you know? So when Tbills called the shot she didn’t slack. She didn’t missed it at all she knew it was time! Lemonade came out we start to feel like Beyonce is gonna get rid of Jay-Z,

One thing most of us don’t know is that Lemonade is doing very fine on Tidal, a music streaming service owned by her estranged hubby. So whether or not Tiwa got her own ideas from Bey and Lemonade is not my concern, the fact still remains that she didn’t keep quiet this time like she has always be doing. If she had kept quiet then her album sales and music career might as well keep quiet.

If she had kept quite she might have to kiss her endorsement deals bye bye!

As an entrepreneur opportunity might be the only miracle you have been praying for. Always seize it!

Pulse.ng, who were lucky enough to get hold of the video of Tiwa’s interview, seized the opportunity to do so. And the last time I checked which was on Saturday 30th of April, the interview Video has gotten 500,000 views on YouTube alone. definitely its gonna get to 1 million Youtube views withing days, I’m not talking about the National TV airplay.

Entrepreneur should always be on their toes and on the look out. Money in heavy ads is not the only solution. But case like Tiwa’s might be your greatest pay check!

√2. Bare it all out!
At first I had no interest, I was not a Savage fan, later my attention was captured, then I was shock! At last I was scared.

Won’t Teebillz send thugs against Tiwa because she is revealing too much? She even said that she caught him sniffing cocaine!

She said they didn’t go to London to shop only for their baby Jamil, they also shopped for Tbills! Because Tunji likes to complain about not having money and this and that, but who is the man in that kind of situation?

I was now scared for Tiwa’s life. What might be the reaction of Teebillz?

However she bares it all out!

Entrepreneur are fond of lying, lying and lying! It doesn’t pay. For us to trust you you have to bare it all out. Leave no stones unturned.

√3. Believable Story
Was this story fabricated? We don’t know. But it was indeed a believable story, the way it was laid out in the open. The narrator of the story make sure that the story is a very believable one, or she might get into a deep shit.

Entrepreneurs should tell believable stories at all time if they want us to to take their service or product serious. Because as the amount of noises in the air increases, we tend to pinpoint the very special noise that has an interesting story, a story that can narrate the offering of the story teller.

√4. Cry
One thing about tears is that it penetrate deep down into the mind of it victim,

As an entrepreneur, don’t always play Hitler or Gaddafi, sometimes cry! When you cry, you soften everything. You become human like the rest of us.

√5. Ignore your current product or service
Tiwa, of course knew that her album is out and need to make sales. She in turn has got to seize every opportunity to mention “RED” her album to any media.

But she didn’t. During this interview about the issues in her failed marriage she never mention of her album at all.

But some aggressive entrepreneurs always get this wrong.
They always want to sneak in their new products, and ones they do that and they are caught they loss their credibility.

No matter what, if you go to google search looking for Tiwa Savage interview you must find a link to a shop that is selling her album, because she didn’t mention the album you will be forced to purchase it.

√6. Be at the mercy of your customers
Savage came out or clean! She said that at a time she called Teebillz that the baby diapers is about to finish and Teebillz gave her a faint ear. Does that mean that she don’t have the money for baby diapers?

The fact is that, she is trying to position herself like an everyday regular girl!

One of the essence of her interview is to find pity from the masses who her hubby has almost turned against her.
I bet she did find that mercy.

Entrepreneurs should always look for ways to be at the mercy of their customers.
Because if you give your customers any sign that you are OK without them, that day your business dies!

√7. Show them pictures
When she was in Jamaica she said she was bleeding and called Tunji to no avail.
How do we believe that truly she was bleeding and she wasn’t just forming that.

She showed as a picture of blood on the floor

Case close!

Don’t just say it, as an entrepreneur learn to show your customers pictures.
Pictures don’t lie! That saying is so true and timeless!

√8. Come out natural
When I saw Tiwa at the beginning of the interview I was shock!
Why didn’t she put on her regular heavy makeup that makes her look like a Dolly?
why is she tying a Deeper Life church member scarf,why is she carrying a mug face?

So my attention was captured. Later I discovered that it was something very serious.

In communication there is a reasonable reason why body language came out 58% ahead of words and voice tone.

Her body language has already let the viewers and her loyal fans know that something is now right.

She came out so natural. And laid it all out.

√9. At last surprise us!
There were no hints that Tiwa will have the guts to come out the way she did. But however she did.

What a huge surprise.

Entrepreneurs now a days are so predictable that there are no more magic in their offerings.
they are just like an open book, that even a 1 year old baby can predict their every moves.

What of you,what thing of value can you learn from this Tiwa's case?

Webmasters / Bamidele Onibalusi: Th 19 Quote Of The Most Important Blogger In Nigeria by Lakotai(m): 4:55pm On Apr 25, 2016
This guy, Bamidele Onibalusi is the most important blogger and writer in Nigeria at the moment, simply because he has embarked on a journey to breed new set of brilliant, motivated and successful bloggers and writers in Nigeria.

He is doing that through his website “writersinncharge.com”

Once in a while I visit his site and feel motivated, he has been featured in A-list blogs like Problogger and Dailyblogtips

There is even a motivating article about him on the famous American blog “The Huffington Post”

His rapid success in the blogging world led a very respected Magazine in Mexico to feature him in one of their issues.

Last night as I was going through some of his numerous life changing articles, I realised that there are so many helpful quotes up coming bloggers and writers will need on their rise to the top.

So I took my time and picked the best and the most important ones.

See them below.

#1- “Instead of looking for new ways to monetize my blog I am always looking for new ways to make it better and bigger”

#2- The more I write the less my articles are rejected.

#3- It is very easy for you to lack the motivation to continue if you keep writing without reading.

#4- Writing list posts is very easy, all I needed to do is get the title, research it using Google, get the points and express my views.

#5- It is true I have written over 270 guest posts this year but 99.9% of those guest posts were submitted to small blogs that sent me little to no traffic,

#6- If I had focused the time I focused on writing those posts on writing 30 great posts for big blogs I will be more successful than I am now.

#7- It would have been best had I focused on writing for big blogs.

Business / Fidelity Bank's Toilet Makes Me Feel Guilty All The Time by Lakotai(m): 4:13pm On Apr 21, 2016
Morning sir!” the first security guard at the main gate salute me, I smiled inside, as I make another walk towards the security door that will finally lead me into the bank, another security guard beside the door salute me again.

I felt guilty immediately.

But I have still gotta shit!

I entered the banking hall, brought out my BlackBerry z3 phone and start to pretend as if I was making a very serious call,

Meanwhile I was speaking to myself.

I watched, no one was looking my direction, so I sluggishly walked into the toilet and let out the mighty scary shit that got me into the bank in the first place.

I don’t have an account with fidelity, and neither did my boss or anyone sent me to make any money transaction in the bank,

My sole purpose was to go there and shit. Or use their toilet.

That day was not the first day.

I have used their rest room on several occasions, and each time I entered that bank and the security guards greeted me like a boss that I was not by then, I felt guilty.

But it’s ain’t my fault, blame it on my disturbing shit, or blame it on the landlord who refused to fix the toilet of the plaza I was working then.

Or rather, blame it on my ijebu boss who refused to do something about the ugly state of our own toilet. Either way, it’s still not my fault at all.

But my shit still makes me feel guilty.

But by now you know whose fault is it.

Sometimes in life you’ve got to feel guilty of your actions. You cheated on her, you hit him because you are stronger than him, you deceived the client because he is a novice, you refused to give him money because you feel like he didn’t worth it.

But one thing is certain, there is a reason for your actions if you look deep down into the cause of things you will find the main thing that made you to do what you did.

In other words, that thing is the one that is guilty, not
you.

Yes, you cheated on her because your sexual urge is mightier than hers, so who do you blame for this, who is guilty you or your maker?

You hit him because you are stronger than him, you are stronger because your trainer made you so, so each time you hit someone badly know that your trainer is the one that should be guilty of such actions.
Don’t sit down there and start to feel guilty of something that someone else should be feeling guilty of. That is not your burden to carry.

If you are a leader it even worst, because the burdens will so weigh you down that you will forget what is at stake at the moment.

A lot of times they said leaders should take blame for the mistake of everyone and everything under their care. They even popularize a phrase for that; “The bulk stops here” But I tell you, if you do that you will just die a pathetic death.

Do this instead. Look for whose fault is it and try to eliminate the cause of the fault or try to change the cause. Don’t take the blame or feel guilty.

However, i'm sorry Fidelity Bank!

Celebrities / 14 Advice For Linda Ikeji Before She Hit The Age Of Menopause by Lakotai(m): 2:44pm On Apr 21, 2016
I resonate very well with the reason why Linda Ikeji has refused to be under the pampering of a loving and a caring man.
Because when she was struggling to get to the top as a model,
a lot of them corky men might have tried to take advantage of her as a young girl
trying to dine with the kings and queens of the game.

The journey was tough and every one she met on her way to the top were all selfish and heartless.

Every man for himself as they say in Lagos.

However she still metamorphosed to the next enviable level.
But now the problem is she is letting those passed anger to come over her. The anger has so overtaken her mind that she forget that there are cool loving guys out there like me who are real. (Yea… She is older than me, nothing can happen)

Oprah Winfrey’s case was different she was raped at the age of nine.
Not only that on several occasions she was molested, in other words she is very OK for not hooking up with any man at her age.
At this time she is comfortably dining with Mrs. Menopause and none of us are angry about that.

But for linkda ikeji me and 89% of the men in Nigeria don’t really think she deserves such torture on her sexy body and womanhood.

On be half of the whole male followers of Linda ikeji I have chose to publish this 14 advice for Linda ikeji before she reaches menopause.

#1. Draw a family plan.
Don’t just jump into marriage without specifically knowing how many kids you can cater for and shower your attention on, considering your profession.

#2. Ignore your mother’s opinion.
That was then in the olden days that our parent choose for us who to marry. That no longer exist.
Take your time and study the father of your future kids. Don’t rush it! At least! Menopause is not here yet.

#3. Ask your LIB readers what kind of man to marry
Don’t be surprised when 80% of them actually have an idea of the kind of man you are waiting for… Because these set of individuals follow you day in day out.

#4. Don’t listen to your sisters
Yes! Especially laura ikeji. I don’t trust them and laura too because fashionista seems to like fashion men, and fashion men have short attention span like me! (But I’m a nice guy).

#5. Imagine the kind of man that your father is to
Your mom, if he was a good man make sure that your man is just like your father. But if your father is….I don’t know…. Just look up to God.

#6. Don’t marry any man you meet in a club
Because you don’t have the time to change him, remember you still have to post on your famous blog the next country that president Buhari is traveling to.

#7. Don’t look for a man in the church.
They are not real, they too came to the church to look for successful woman like you. They are lazy!

Celebrities / The Exclusive 28 Secrets Of Linda Ikeji’s Success by Lakotai(m): 4:00pm On Dec 14, 2015
I have been following Linda Ikeji’s blog since 2010 that’s 6 years after she started blogging,

That makes me qualified to list the 26 Secrets of Linda ikeji success…

I hope this will be of good use to you regardless of the field that you are in. it doesn’t matter if you are a blogger or not I bet there must be a secret that will help you in your endeavour to the top.

1. Determined:
Linda Ikeji told toolz in a previous interview that she didn’t start making money from her blog until 2010 that’s 6 years after she has been blogging regularly.

Most bloggers give up under 1 or 2 years of blogging when they see no income. But linda was determined and now here she is

2. Focus:
Apart from being determined, she was focused. Throughout her blogging career, for the past five years of reading her blog and following her I never heard that Linda was into any ventures.

3. Consistent:
She was always consistent on her blog she never deviate to another topic apart from gossip!

4. Punctual:
Linda Ikeji can post as early as 4am!
The time most of us are drooling on our Mouka foam, Floating freely on a fantasy island.
Even me, I hate to wake up when it’s not 6 or 7.

5. Trickish:
She is Trickish in the sense that sometimes she intentionally pull the legs of public figures and celebrities knowing fully well that it will drive heavy traffic to her blog, example is when she made a post about RMD purchasing a property worth hundreds of millions of Naira.

6. Business-minded:
If you think that blogging is a hobby of Linda Ikeji then google the amount she purchased her new home in banana island, a place that most of our celebrities can never get a home in throughout their music or acting career.

Or if you still strongly believe that she blogs for fun, then send her mail to remove those google ads that’s all over her blog.

7. Forgiving Spirit:
Long time ago Toke Makinwa a presenter of Cool Fm made a public statement, she said linda ikeji is not a good role model. Of course Linda got the message.

Still she is the first to always post the pictures if Toke in a new attire in her blog. Giving Toke free publicity!

I love her for that. She will continue to excel.

8. Fearless:
After she made that post of RMD purchasing a very mighty property, knowing fully well that RMD is a Senator in his state, and knowing how implicating such post will be on his career.

RMD replied with a public warning! Threatening to sue anyone in the guise of blogging trying to vanderlise his name. Linda never back down! She still continue to blog. She never hesitate to drop another jaw-dropping blog post

She still make a blog post on RMD during his Birthday.

9. Patient:
At a time, Google, where her blog was hosted for years now suspended her blog!

It caused a public outcry. But linda never came out in the public crying and begging google to release her blog. She was patient and followed things step by step. Until her blog got back to live.

10. Ignore:
She keeps ignoring those jobless broke critics that keeps saying shit about her.

11. Cashflow Management:
Now a days bloggers spend a lot on their blog even before they started making a penny from the blog.1. They pay heavily for a domain name

2. They pay hugely for a hosting service 3. They spend mightily for a creative web design and so forth, only to find out that they will have to spend like 5 years blogging before they start recovering their initial capital.

This fact is discouraging that’s why 99% of blogs die out under 2 years!

But linda was wise she make sure that she has no unnecessary expenses when starting her blog. She used a free blogging tool called blogger powered by the giant himself Google for years.

At least, since she has no heavy expenses blogging will never be a burden to her like it is to those new novice bloggers.

12. A Giving Spirit:
Every first Monday of the month linda Ikeji gives out hundred of thousands of naira to her blog reader or even though you are a passers by you might be lucky to have you own share of this money.

Just be one of the specific commenter that she indicated

13. Family First:
Linda ikeji’s success never made her to forget about her family. She has been promoting the likes of Laura Ikeji-a fashion blogger on her prestigious blog.

I love her for that too. Laura is pretty too, and has a sense of fashion, but she has a short face.

I don’t like girls with short face.

14. Spirit of Change:

She told Toolz the figure 8 celebrity that she dropped modeling for blogging because she was getting too old.

She was right and made the right choice at the right time.

15. Clear Vision:
Linda Ikeji came into the blogging world when most Nigerians bloggers are still arguing whether the internet has come to stay or not.

She came in early.

She has a clear vision of the future of her blog. That’s why she kept at it.

16. Strict:
If you make silly comment on her blog and she finds out I.... continue reading here >>http://www.lakotaiwilliamchi.com/the-exclusive-28-secrets-of-linda-ikejis-success/
Celebrities / How Asa Got Raped By Question Mark by Lakotai(m): 4:16pm On Aug 22, 2015
“Who are these kids Looking for?”
A very skinny dry lady with a british accent
questioned some two guys at
the Question Mark Entertainment
reception office at Aboyade Cole Victoria Island.

I started to shiver…don’t know what will become of me and Seyfame my music partner then.

That day we decided to go to Question Mark to try our luck. Only to get there and receive such a HUGE embarrassment. Well when I entered the office the first thing I saw was a picture frame hanging on the left side of the wall above the receptionist desk

that has a very large monitor (probably the first place I saw such a wide computer screen) this picture has the face of some three handsome serious looking men.

One was fair and was sitting in the middle while the other 2 were standing. Later in the future I learnt that the middle one was Kelvin Luciano the president of question mark entertainment and one was Tolu and the other was something like kobo.

Maybe Modenine mentioned their name in the intro of his award winning hit single “Cry” (obviously one of the few best work question mark ever did apart from “Eye Adaba” by Asa)

After that my young...http:///1NC1Hgx
Jobs/Vacancies / How To Be The Best Waitress In Lagos by Lakotai(m): 4:05pm On Aug 22, 2015
How come you continue to give these other waitresses rundown or Florence victory? I questioned happiness jokingly.

She responded immediately, saying, see let me tell you some thing it’s how you attend to the customers that matters

Then she relate a story with me

“One day I got to this customer’s table, I asked him what would he want to drink, he said ‘mmmmm…tonic. Before he could finish saying the tonic, I cut him on the way, I said, just look, look, look at that table at the other end, they are doing jack daniel’s.

If you now start to drink only tonic, how do you want them to look at you, considering the calibre of person that you are…ok if you don’t want to do spirit because it might be too strong for you now, let me give you your brand…Heineken. At least by the time you have about three heineken bottle on your table, your table will look mature.”

After that conviction, she said, the man gave her a warm smile and asked her to bring him an heineken. After that he took three more, making it four heineken, not three, like she recommended.

She also said that “it’s not about dragging to be the best waitress, it’s about seeing and reaching your goal. It’s about making sure that the customer doesn’t leaves with your money”

Music/Radio / The ULTIMATE 104 Ways To Promote Your Music; Free Download by Lakotai(m): 2:40pm On Jun 24, 2015
"Who are these kids? A question mark entertainment executive inquired, as we entered their office at aboyade cole street Victoria island scared  but at the same time bold, because me and my music partner--seyfame so much believed in our rap skills that we don't think any rapper in nigeria could stand us.

But the approach we were applying then to get our music to our potential fans was totally wrong. We were jumping from one record label to the other, from colossal entertainment to storm records to question mark entertainment.

We were just wasting our time.

We could have done something more creative, like looking for ways to promote our music ourselves with the help of the hundreds of online tools at our disposal then. But we didn't know at all, because who could have informed us.

Who could have shared such a rich information with us?

I gave this a deep thought and started to promote my music my self and now I'm feeling like a super star and a made musician, because I know what I'm doing now and I know where my music will take me to in the nearest future

They said "to make your dreams come true, you have to first make other people (up coming musicians) dream come true"

That's exactly why I wrote this book--"The ultimate 104 ways to promote your music" to make your dreams come true and mine too.

Politics / The Liberian War, How Did It Affects You Mentally? by Lakotai(m): 7:54am On Mar 06, 2015
...The indigenous tribes of Liberia supported Samuel Doe because they believed he was the solution to the pain they faced then...the pain of being slaves to their original founders--the Americans.</strong>

These set of indigenous Liberians tried to evict pain from their society. They couldn't bare it any more. So they chose Samuel Doe as there front man and Coup was Doe's master plan. As they tried to evict pain, pain evict more lives and joy from them,

as they struggle to stop pain, pain struggled harder to stop their economy. At the end about 200,000 of them lost their lives. While hundreds of thousands of them became refugees in countries all over the world.

Health / Boko Haram Virus Vs Ebola Virus by Lakotai(m): 4:17am On Sep 04, 2014
When the deadly Virus Boko was trending, none give a shit about Ébola, HIV AIDS, or Typhoid. Now Ebola has benched boko and the rest famous viruses for good. But does it mean that Ebola is more better or deadlier than Boko haram?

Mind you remember that Boko killed in hundreds on a daily basis.. If you were a constant Punch or Vanguard reader you should know what I mean. These News Papers never failed to let us know which state or locality is being Bombed by boko.

On the other hand the highest figure I have heard of Ebola is something around 5-10 on a bad day. But it does it mean that this virus is weak? Or its just evolving?

Dear reader, which virus do you prefer? The Boko Virus or The Ebola Virus?

Celebrities / How 15,595 World Terrorists Planned To Kill Linda Ikeji: You Are Next!!! by Lakotai(m): 9:26am On Aug 04, 2014
If you pay your dues, you are Next!
If you do what they want you are the one they will chase next.
If you neglect them then they won't know if you exist at all.

I am talking about the 15,595 terrorists that almost got Linda Ikeji's Blog down! Before we go into details on that, let's briefly see how she, Linda Ikeji got herself into this big mess in the first place. Read on....

It all started with a simple blogger blog. As a hobby and a par-time business, although when interviewed by Toolz, she claimed she quit modelling and went into blogging because she was getting old. (I know she didn't know what she was getting herself into)

The blogging things for Linda began around 2010 according to blogger. Since then, all what she posts was short gist or Amebors. Some of them were true, some where plain rumours. And some where even dangerous that, they got her death threats. I am talking gist like the amebor she did on RMD! Mr RMD was so furious that he had to take on Twitter and gave Aunty Linda a straight warning. (If you are in the game you should by now know that RMD is a badt guy!)

No she didn't stop there she apologised to RMD and continued to do what she does best. While huge companies like Guinness, Airtel, Daimond Bank flock to her like flies chasing a fresh carcass.

Don't ask me how much she makes, because she made a huge amount of money on a daily basis! In short that is one of the reason that got her into the trouble of these 15,595 terrorists that seriously wanted to crumble her money-making machine blog.

Now let's see how she attracted a terrorist attack on her almighty blog...
She first announced a Give Away in the month of june. In short hear it from her mouth after the cut....

"Like I said before, every last Monday of the month, I will
give away something on LIB. Last time I gave N25k to 8
people...today I will be giving N25k to 6 people...that's
N150k total. And I will pick winners randomly so no one
feels cheated."

You see... The first time she did this Monday give away, she attracted over 6,000 terrorists. Although those terrorists were not as cruel as the second terrorists. What I was thinking is that those first terrorist informed their families and friends about Linda's move and they all got ready for the next move she will make and when she did make the move. They ATTACKED!...

What was the result? Bad? Worst? A dead blog? A slower blog? A empty bank account? Or a dead Linda?

Well don't be too scared. Non of the above happened to her... But if not for Google and their blogger child some of those result I mentioned above could have been her portion. She was lucky. But I advised her not to go through that path again. For her own good.

If you are a blogger you will know that blog commenters are also blog terrorists. When they strike your blog in that number your blog is destined to die!. Or face one or two setbacks. Those 15,595 terrorist are hungry commenters! When I saw those comments I was shocked. "Wow! 15,595? Good for her"

You know what it means for 15,595 people to comment on your blog? It means astronomical SUCCESS.

Normally when you post on your blog about 10% of your blog readers are expected to comment. So when you do the maths from this figure, you could discover that about 160,000 readers visited Linda's blog withing that short period of time!

"Huge SUCCESS!" I said again.

So why did I say that you might be next? Its Because i know that you can be more brilliant and creative than Linda. You can command more attention and more attacks than Linda, why, its because you have been learning from Linda and you have been stealing a lot of her tricks. Now if you add that to your own tricks and ideas your blog will surely go over the roof and more than 15,595 terrorists will attack you!

Don't be scared already. Linda is not dead yet nor is her blog. Instead she is even getting more powerful and indestructible like Oprah Winfrey.

Last note on this topic. If you want to comment on her blog and drop your email in her comment field, BECAREFUL! Spammers can copy your email and start sending you spam messages and even give you a serious head ache deleting spam messages.

The solution is to create a temporary email address with yahoo. after the Give Away you can delete the email address and forget about it! I wish you good luck!

Jobs/Vacancies / You Will Be FIRED! Even If You Get A New JOB On Wednesday by Lakotai(m): 7:35pm On Jul 28, 2014
I have worked in more than 45 companies doing all sort of jobs. I have been fired only once. And the reason I was fired is what I want to discuss with you now.

As you eat your Salah meat and drink your Salah beer, give this article just 10% of your attention. Because next tomorrow which is on Wednesday you might get your first sack letter. Or if the manager don't respects you he might tell you in the face! "Don't come to work tomorrow"

"I'm coming ma!" I replied my boss's wife with a squeezed face who just gave birth to a mongoloid nose and a wide face baby girl. She wanted me to go to VFS (they process visas for Schengen countries) to start the process of a client's France visa. Since the time my real boss (at least so I thought) went to Osun state to practice politics, I have never been happy with his wife who now runs the Travel Agency business.

She used to disturbed me a lot!

"Come and do this" "come and do that" "why did you send the mail like that' O oo, what is wrong with this chap!" (That's the best way she likes to address me, since she just came back from london, where she and her husband had done a bad deal)

I was like "what is wrong with this woman nah" "why is she disturbing me, is she my boss? Nah wa o"

One day she called me early in the morning. To quickly run to VFS to collect a clients doc. She wanted me to get there before the client, to show sign of commitment. Her time says 6, mine is saying 5! So I thought that I still have time. I slept again. Only to wake up at 7! When our client need to catch a flight at 9.30. By then there were still heavy traffic in Lekki. So before I could get there the clients has already came there herself! Gbam! my heart skipped as I saw our clients Prado jeep at VFS gate. (I am supposed to be there before the client you know)

Gu gu gu GOOD Morning ma. I stammered greeted her while my heart continue to beat like a Lagbaja's drum. I explained to the clients that I am supposed to collect her doc for her and that I was sorry to be late that I was delayed by a crazy traffic. She just nodded her head. So I quickly run to join the queue that now looks like the regular queue at all GTBank branches.

(Few minutes later,) No. Sorry, plenty minutes later I collected her docs and gave it to her she still tipped me 1k I was very happy that day. Not knowing that, that will be my last day of working with this Travel Agency.

When I got back to the office my boss's wife didn't say anything to me. For 3 hours. Later she called me into her office and said that I am suspended without pay! But if I want my pay that day, it means sack! I went with the second option and went back home that morning thinking about my life.

And wondering what went wrong....

I later realise that it was all my fault! I didn't know who I was working for. I thought that I was still working for my boss the husband, instead of the wife. My main boss was the wife not the husband! Even later I learnt that she even have a lion share in the Travel Agency.
Wow look at me. Mumu wey I bee.

My boss's wife sacked me not because of I was late to VFS, but because she feels like I don't respect her, since she was not the one that employed me. She needed someone she could control and that will respect her

Since that day I was never sacked again in any job I had. I now know one of the things that got people sacked everyday in Lagos.

A lot of employees don't know who they are working for. So they got fired easily and frequently.

"Duck you Smedley' you useless middle. manager" "Christina Smedley is a useless. Piece of s**t."
these foul statements was not the actual cause of Rakesh Agrawal, a Paypal.com exec's sack. But the main reason Paypal fired him was because of Christina Smedley, a PayPal's vice-president of global communications.

So Rakesh didn't actually know who he was working for. It obvious that if he had said that to other low level employee in Paypal. he wouldn't have been fired but Christina was very useful to Paypal. And indirectly Rakesh reports to Chris.

When you always have this one secret in mind, you will never be sacked again for no reason except the firms run out of cash. Even if that becomes the case, if you actually know who you work for, that person will always look for another job for you. Just like the case of Mr Thomas, a Buddah Lounge new manager. When he came to Buddah Lounge he brought along 4 Liquid club staffs. (Liquid was his former place of work that went under renovation)

I come to understand that, those 4 staffs Mr Thomas employed in Buddah lounged respected and serve him well while in Liquid. In other words, they were working for him not for the main owner of Liquid. That way they became ultimately employable as far as Mr Thomas is concern.

I hope I have said enough.
The point is. "Know who you are working for or get fired on a regular basis simple!"

Please if you have any other reasons employees got fired in Lagos, drop it below

babyme1: I lost my dad 3mnths ago. Though he was 82yrs, the pain is still very strong in my heart. During the funeral i cried so much my siblings and relatives got angry with me. One had the gut to tell me that it was shameful and embarassing to cry that way that Papa was old.

Who wouldnt mouirn a dad you speak to everyday(i even called him few minutes before he passed and he never gave me an inkling he was leaving us). Who wouldnt mourn a man that never fell sick till his last breath? Who wouldnt cry for a man that still practice his yoga a day before his dead? A man whose last word to me was 'take care of your babies for me'? cry. I still morn for him everyday because i was the closest to him out of 15 children. Maybe i will move on like my siblings who tell me im being too emotional. BUT for now the memory is too fresh for me to live as if he never was a part of me. Oh well! cry

>>Baby, don't mind your other familiars. They are claiming to be strong mean while they are just struggling with their innermost self to suppress their Emotions.

Nothing worthwhile could have been achieved in this world without emotion. if you don't feel it you won't care for it.

Baby, I am by your side, we are in this together. But know this one day the Lord shall reunite you and papa again, and your joy will truly overflow like the streams of the valley.
