12 Making Money Online Facts You Must Know

I know you might have stumbled on websites or blogs that claim they can show you how to make thousands of dollars a day and retire in a month or probably have received emails where the sender claimed to have made thousands of dollars by working only for a couple of hours. Interesting...right?  

Well, all these are just popular tricks to deceive you in believing making money online is easy. Those sites that boast that you can get rich over night are not telling you the whole truth and if you fall for the bogus claims, you might end up frustrated in your quest for making money online.

Now let me make something clear to you… the truth is that online business is real but it takes time to build a way to make money online. You can make residual income online just like I do but there are some facts you must know, which are highlighted below:


1. With a computer, Internet access and a phone, it's possible to earn a living and make money from home, on the internet.

2. Starting an online business requires a very low start-up capital. You just need ideas, personal computer, internet access and some softwares installed on your computer. Although, you can start from Cyber-Cafes.

3. People who work from home are not necessarily involved in scams or illegal business. There are plenty of legal ways to earn money from home.

4. Nothing like overnight wealth on the internet. Working online does not make a lot of money for most people, but over time it is certainly possible to make a strong full-time income.

5. It takes a lot of serious hard work to make money online, and a lot of the work you need to do is learning about the process. You reap what you sow.

6. It is not compulsory you know html, programming, graphic design etc before you can start making money online. You can find someone else that can do any of those things for you. Fiverr.com/jideogunsanya is an example of one of the sites where you can get your job done at very cheap price.

7. You just have to sell something, be it a product (physical/digital) or services for you to make money online. If you don't sell something or render a service, then what will people be paying you for if they are to send money into your account or send cheques to you?

8. You will need to set your own schedule and rely on your own motivation and will-power to succeed in making money online.

9. Internet businesses run 24/7. Your website or blog where you will be making money online will always be available for people to access anytime anyday unless you have issues with your server.

10. You can work once and keep earning on the internet eg. You can create an information product which will keep earning you money for life.

11. Not everybody can make money online. There is no guarantee you will succeed just as there is no guarantee that you will make money if you invest in any business offline.

12. You do not have to be jerk of all trades to make money online. In fact, if you try to do everything people are doing to make money online, you might end up in confusion, which might lead to failure. Hence, pick a model and focus on it. For example, I am focusing on creating content (info marketing, blogging) despite knowing that I can also make money trading forex online, buying/selling stocks online etc

I believe this article should be an eye opener for you if you just want to get started in making money online. Remember, if you stumble on anything that sounds too good to be true, just RUN. There is no magic on the internet. You have to work in other to be making cool money online like I do.

How My Husband Slept With My Two Junior Sisters

Kindly post this for me, i need your reader’s advise on how my husband slept with my two junior sisters that lived with us.
I have been married for 10+ years and thought I was happily married till some weeks ago. From the fourth year into my marriage my mom advised us to take on 2 female relatives. One was 22 and the other 13 at that time. In 2010, we noticed that the older of the girls had become so close to my husband to the point that anyone could easily conclude they were intimate. She became rude to me but got closer to my husband and he never saw anything wrong with her attitude. He would take her to school (UNILAG) and pick her up regularly. He would gladly buy the exact items for her and myself whenever he traveled. Several times he gave her large sums without my consent or knowledge but thankfully it all came out through her mom.
He blurted out once that she had STD and I was quite embarrassed that he would know that about her if nothing was going on. In the end we decided she couldn’t go on living in my house and my mom came to take her away her even though my husband kicked against it furiously. The younger one stayed on and that is now my greatest undoing.
She grew up quickly and she is now 20 and in her second year in University. She recently sent her Dad (who lives in Lagos) a suicide message stating that she was going to kill herself if she is allowed to continue staying with us. Her dad has now called me to say he followed up with the suicide message and she confided in him that my husband dis-v!rg!ned her at 15 and had continued to sleep with her till she put up some resistance late last year. She said he is also with her roommate and claimed to have seen a message from the girl to my husband implicating him. She also said that she had caught my husband and the older girl that left in 2010 in suspicious positions before the girl was sent away.
I have confronted him with all these and he is not giving tangible reasons to disbelieve the girl. Truth is I know he did these things because of other things the girl told me that I have since confirmed one of which is that he brought a stray girl (18 yrs) into our home under the guise that she was a distant cousin’s daughter. It turned out he met her randomly and merely chatted her up.
My Pastors have intervened and told me all these are true but that “he is a man and will never openly admit it now”. They are asking me to let go for the sake of my children and the marriage. I am however upset that he will get off this easily and the innocent girl will not get justice. Should I cover his sins and appeal to the girl’s father who has indicated that he will do as I advise or should I insist that he is made to apologize to the girl? I keep thinking what if she is my own daughter!! I am at my wits end trying to figure out if I should act as a wife or a mother! Will a good wife cover her husband’s sins???

Politics of Boko Haram heightens ahead of 2015

In this write-up, ENIOLA AKINKUOTU, x-rays the recent allegations of terrorism between the All Progressives Congress and the Peoples Democratic Party ahead of the 2015 general elections

Ordinarily, allegations of terrorism are matters of national security. However, recent political happenings reveal that these allegations have become political weapons in the hands of the Peoples Democratic Party and the All Progressives Congress in the battle for elective positions in the 2015 general elections.

The recent war of words could be traced to the Nyanya, Abuja bomb blast of April 14, in which over 75 lives were lost. The following day, President Goodluck Jonathan and other PDP leaders held a rally in Kano State to welcome a former Governor of Kano State, Ibrahim Shekarau, who defected from the APC to the PDP.

The APC fired the first salvo by accusing Jonathan of being insensitive to the plight of Nigerians. The Publicity Secretary of the APC, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, said it was disheartening that while all the bodies of the deceased had yet to be retrieved from the bomb site, Jonathan was ‘dancing’ in Kano.

The PDP Publicity Secretary, Olisa Metuh; and the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku, fired back by insinuating that the APC was behind the bomb attacks in the country. In a statement, Metuh said, “Indeed, Nigerians are no longer at a loss as to the agenda of the APC. The APC has again exposed its support for acts directly aimed at shutting down governance and imposing anarchy and a reign of terror on our people. They had expected the President to be intimidated by acts of terrorism which have continued to be motivated by their utterances.”

It was observed that as the elections grew closer, so did allegations of terrorism. A former Governor of Adamawa State, Murtala Nyako, fired another shot in a memorandum to the Northern Governors’ Forum when he accused the Federal Government of being behind the Boko Haram insurgency, with plans to deny citizens of northern Nigeria their voting rights in the next general elections.

Nyako said the state of emergency imposed on his state and two others was a way of weakening the voting power of the North-East states, which are mostly controlled by the APC.

In a later reaction, Metuh responded by saying outright that, “The APC is the major beneficiary of terrorism in this country. We stand by our statement that the APC celebrates terrorism. We didn’t say the APC bombed Nyanya, Kano or Jos. What we said is that the APC by their actions and utterances, promote violence. If they do so, they cannot shy away from the fact that they fuelled violence.”

The APC fired back by threatening to sue Metuh and the PDP over the allegation, saying, “Mr. Metuh should save his explanations until he gets to court because surely the party (APC) and all he had maligned will sue him.”

As the abduction of over 200 girls from Chibok, Borno State, dominated world news for over a month, Jonathan’s government was on the receiving end of attacks as many international media agencies described the Jonathan administration as incompetent.

Several human right figures in the country such as Prof. Wole Soyinka, Mr. Femi Falana (SAN), Mrs. Oby Ezekwesili, Joe Okei-Odumakin and several others lent their voices to a campaign which was tagged “Bring Back our Girls”.

As the media attention grew, the President’s spokespersons: Senior Special Assistant on Public Affairs, Doyin Okupe, his Special Adviser on Media, Reuben Abati, the Minister of Information, Labaran Maku; and his Special Adviser on Political Affairs, Ahmed Gulak, struggled to save the image of their boss, who may declare his intention to contest in next year’s presidential election soon.

As the protests waned, the Bring Back our Girls group, however, continued to demonstrate. In an attempt to repress the protests, the Commissioner of Police in charge of the Federal Capital Territory, often accused of being a pro-Jonathan figure, placed a ban on protests but he was quickly overruled by the then Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar.

In further attempts to discredit the Bring Back our Girls group which seemed unrelenting, the Department of State Service described the campaign as sponsored.

When it looked as if the PDP had been able successfully pin the Boko Haram tag on the APC, an attempt was made on the life of Buhari in Kaduna State. In the attack, Buhari’s vehicle was badly damaged. It raised doubts over the involvement of the APC in terrorism and also gave the party the opportunity to appear as the victim. However, the allegations continued soon after as the APC and the PDP accused each other of being responsible.

In the blame game, Jonathan has also played an active role. He said governors of the APC are the cause of insurgency in their states. Speaking at the 65th meeting of the PDP National Executive Committee, in Abuja, he said there was insecurity in the APC controlled states because the governors had not performed like their counterparts in the PDP “There is no insurgency in PDP states because the governors are performing,” he said.

As part of efforts to save Jonathan’s popularity, which had waned due to his inability to rescue the Chibok girls, several pro-Jonathan groups, including the Transformation Ambassadors of Nigeria, launched a media campaign in which it compared Jonathan to Nelson Mandela of South Africa, ex- United States President, George W. Bush; human rights activist, Martin Luther-King and Mahatma Gandhi.

In the TV advert, the sponsor urges Nigerians to support Jonathan in the fight against terrorism just like Americans supported Bush during the fight against terrorism in 2001.

Jonathan also hired the services of an Australian hostage negotiator, Dr. Stephen Davis, to negotiate for the release of the Chibok girls. However, the report later issued by Davis would further implicate Jonathan’s camp.

In a report last week, Davis accused a former Governor of Borno State, Ali Modu-Sheriff and the immediate past Chief of Army Staff. Lt. Gen Azubuike Ihejirika (retd.) of being Boko Haram sponsors. Presently, Sheriff is a PDP member while Ihejirika is an Abia State governorship aspirant of the PDP.

Davis further absolved two APC chiefs: a former military Head of State, Muhamadu Buhari; and a former FCT Minister, Mallam Nasir el-Rufai, of complicity.

The APC quickly took the opportunity to gloat with Davis’ revelation. El-Rufai took a swipe at Ihejirika on his Facebook page, mocking the retired general. Ihejirika, in turn, fired back by calling el-Rufai a Boko Haram sponsor.

On his own part, Sheriff threatened to sue the negotiator. The former governor, who shed tears while addressing journalists, said he was not a Boko Haram supporter. The APC national chairman, Chief John Odigie-Oyegun, however welcomed Davis’ revelation.

The APC chairman said the party had been vindicated as the negotiator, who was hired by the PDP-led Federal Government had implicated the people who ordinarily, he should be defending. He, therefore, urged Jonathan to hand over all those the Australian hostage negotiator accused of being the sponsors of Boko Haram to the International Criminal Court.

With the APC having the upper hand in the terrorism blame game about five months to the elections, the PDP also responded by insinuating that APC members had not been absolved of blame either. Metuh alleged that Oyegun’s statement was a decoy to frustrate genuine efforts at finding solution to the security challenges facing the nation to the advantage of the APC.

Curiously, however, there has been no response from the police, the DSS and the military authorities over the fresh allegation levelled against the PDP members.

Reacting to Davis’ allegations, human rights lawyer, Mr. Femi Falana, urged security agencies to investigate all the people accused of sponsoring terrorists. He noted that before the revelation of Davis, the Jonathan administration had set up the Ambassador Usman Galtimari Panel to investigate the genesis of the insurgency in the North East region. He said it recommended that the Federal Government should direct the security agencies to beam their light on some politicians who sponsored, funded and used the militia groups that later metamorphosed into Boko Haram and bring them to justice.

He said, “The security forces should, without any further delay carry out the directives of the Federal Government by investigating and prosecuting all the indicted sponsors of the Boko Haram sect. If the directives are not carried out forthwith I shall apply to the Federal High Court for a Writ of MANDAMUS to compel the security agencies to discharge their duties in the public interest.”

On his own part, a security expert, Dr. Ona Ekhomu, told our correspondent during an interview that it was unfortunate that the issue of Boko Haram was being used to foster partisan politics and score cheap political points when political parties irrespective of ideology, should be cooperating to put insurgency to an end.

Ekhomu, who is Nigeria’s first chartered security professional, berated the Australian hostage negotiator for making unsubstantiated claims. He said Davis should not be taken seriously as he was only grasping at straws having failed to negotiate the release of the schoolgirls.

He said, “In Nigerian politics, a lot of people make crazy statements but nothing happens and no one is punished for it. That is why you see that right now, the PDP and the APC are exchanging allegations of Boko Haram instead of them to come together to fight a common foe. How can they be making reckless statements about Boko Haram without substantiating? Probably after spending sometime in Nigeria, Davis also felt he could make reckless statements and get away with it since no one ever holds anybody accountable.”

As the 2015 general elections approach, political observers say the Boko Haram insurgency could determine who emerges as the next President of Nigeria. In fact, the ultimatum given to the President by the Northern Elders Forum that if he cannot rescue the Chibok girls before October, he should not seek a second term, is a pointer to the notion that the issue of insecurity could be used as a shovel to either dig Jonathan’s political grave should he fail; or as a ladder to climb back into Aso Rock, should he succeed.
