Though gas supply to the power plants has
improved following the restoration of the
Escravos-Lagos Gas Pipeline System, about
2,326.3 megawatts of available power
generation capacity is still not utilised due to
constraints in the gas supply chain.
Power generation statistics obtained by our
correspondent on Tuesday revealed that the
available installed capacity as of Sunday,
February 9, 2014 was 6,972.5MW, while the
peak generation stood at 4,064.1MW, and
the off-peak generation was 3,341.2MW.
Last week, power generation revolved
around 3,500MW from the 6,668.6MW
available capacity due largely to gas
shortage.
The Nigerian National Petroleum
Corporation blamed inadequate gas supply
to the power plants on increased pipeline
vandalism and sabotage.
The Group Managing Director, NNPC, Mr.
Andrew Yakubu, had said over 30 per cent
of the installed gas supply capacity was shut
out as a result of vandalism.
He added that the lost gas was equivalent to
what was required to generate about
1,600MW of electricity.
After weeks of gas-induced power outages,
the Escravos-Lagos Gas Pipeline System was
restored and the acting Group General
Manager, Group Public Affairs Division, NNPC,
Dr. Omar Farouk, said about 200 million
cubic feet per day of gas would be re-
injected into the power generation system
as a result.
According to him, the repair of the ELPS will
enable the NNPC to inject about 430 mmcf/d
of gas into the national gas grid for the
generation of about 1,505MW of electricity
daily.
In spite of this, our correspondent learnt
that 2,326.3MW of the available generation
capacity had been unutilised across 10
power stations in the country due to gas
constraint.
With an installed available capacity of
1,000MW, the Egbin Power Plant was on
Sunday down to 915MW, losing 85MW due
to low gas pressure.
The Sapele National Integrated Power
Project plant and the Olorunsogo NIPP plant
with 360MW and 480MW installed available
capacity, respectively, were down to zero
generation on Sunday.
The National Control Centre, Osogbo, Osun
State, said two of Sapele’s units were out
due to high condensate in gas, while the
two others were down due to other
reasons.
The GT1-3 and ST1 at the Olorunsogo plant
were also said to be out due to gas
constraints.
Similarly, the NCC said the Geregu plant, with
an installed capacity of 435MW, could only
generate 90MW, losing 345MW to gas
constraint.
The Omotosho plant has an installed
capacity of 480MW but could only generate
110.2MW on Sunday, losing 369.8MW as a
result of gas constraint.
The Ihovbor, Geregu, Olorunsogo and
Omotosho power plants lost 133MW,
294MW, 57.2MW and 69.6MW on Sunday
due also to gas constraint.
The AES Barges power plant could only
generate 107.3MW from its installed capacity
of 240MW on Sunday because four of its
units were out due to gas constraint.
About 80 per cent of the power plants in the
country are gas-fired, but pipeline vandalism
has continued to frustrate regular supply of
gas to them.
But the NNPC promised improved gas supply
to the power plants following the
completion of repair works on some of the
pipelines.

Omobola Johnson, Nigeria’s communication
technology minister. CC image courtesy of
the World Economic Forum, on Flickr.
Nigeria may place a ban on the sale of
new SIM cards by telecoms companies as
a way of compelling the networks to
increase their investment in improving the
quality of the services by halting the
soaring numbers of telecoms subscribers
in Nigeria.
“We’re not satisfied at all,” Omobola
Johnson, communication technology
minister,told Bloomberg in an interview.
“Fines are just a slap on the wrist. We need
to change behavior.”
She said a ban on signing new customers
may force the companies to focus on
improving infrastructure and quality of
service for existing phone users.
The ban is an additional measure that is
being considered in addition to repeated
fines that are slammed on the telecoms
companies, including MTN, 9mobile and Airtel.
The NCC last year fined the country’s four
major operators US$7.5 million
after they failed to meet the minimum
Quality of Service (QoS) parameters issued
by the regulator for the months of March
and April 2012.
“We take customer experience very seriously
and have worked assiduously over the last
18 months to ensure we not only meet but
surpass set quality of service measures,”
Chineze Amanfo, a Lagos-based
spokeswoman for 9mobile, told Bloomberg
via email. “There are challenges that make
this difficult in certain parts of the country
where access or damage to
telecommunications facilities remain a
challenge.”

 Nigeria’s Aviation Minister, Stella Oduah, has been fired by President Goodluck Jonathan. Ms. Oduah has been caught in a web of certificate scandals and a scandalous purchase of two BMW armored cars for $1.6 million. Both scandals were exposed by Saharareporters. Jonathan-Stella Oduah Our correspondent reported that Ms. Oduah and three other ministers within the Jonathan govt were relieved of their positions on the orders of Mr. Jonathan. However, their sack was passed off as voluntary resignation from the cabinet. The other ministers sacked includes, the minister of the Niger Delta, Godsday Orubebe, minister of police affairs, Chris Olukolade and the minister of state for Finance, Yerima Ngama Late last year, we reported that Ms. Oduah had compelled the Nigerian Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) to pay Coscharis Motors, an auto dealer, approximately $1.6 million for two BMW bullet-proof cars. Investigations by us showed that the highest cost for each such car in both the US and UK was $ 267,000 per car. NCAA and other sources further disclosed that the two cars were never delivered, compounding a scam by Ms. Oduah who reportedly split the $1.6 million funds with Cosmas Maduka, the chief executive of Coscharis. More recently, SaharaReporters discovered that the former Aviation Minister did not earn a Masters degree she claimed to have received from a US college.

The All Progressives Congress (APC) has
accused the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP)
of using public funds to lure back some of
the federal lawmakers who defected from
the ruling party to theapc . The apc
condemned the strategy as political horse
trading carried too far.
In a statement issued in Lagos on Tuesday,
the APC’s interim National Publicity Secretary,
Lai Mohammed, said thepdp had, in a show
of desperation, rolled out a mouth-watering
enticement package that promises two
million US dollars to each senator who
returns to thepdp and one million dollars to
each member of the House of
Representatives . In addition, he said the
PDP was offering $10 million to each
“leader” who abandons the APC and returns
to the PDP . The statement alleged that the
price tag for the federal legislators from
Rivers State was even higher, at five million
dollars each.
Even so, the APC spokesman said there was
no cause for alarm, asserting that no
amount of inducement would stop the
change on the horizon since, according to
Mr. Mohammed, the long-suffering people of
Nigeria were ready and eager to vote out
thePDP in next year’s elections.
The APC described the five members of the
House of Representatives who reportedly
took the killer bait and returned to the PDP
as dirty traitors, adding that when they
defected to the APC, they were neither
forced to do so nor given any incentive
beyond the rare opportunity offered them
to be a part of the loomingchange . Mr.
Mohammed said he hoped the double
defectors would declare the blood money
they collected from thePDP to those who
voted them into office, challenging them to
pretend to be democratic by sharing the
money with voters.
“Nigerians can now see why their country
has gone broke; why the allocation to states
from the Federation Account has continued
to dwindle, and why infrastructures have
either remained decrepit or non-existent. It
is not difficult to imagine the number of
bore holes that 10 million dollars can sink,
or how far such a huge amount will go in
building cottage hospitals and health
clinics,” theAPC stated.
apc vs pdp
The party added, “Things are bound to get
worse in the days ahead because the
desperatePDP will, more and more, use
public funds to try to change the course of
history. We therefore urge Nigerians to
remain resolute in the face of what will be a
wave of inducements never before seen in
these climes, because there is no going back
on the plan to vote out thePDP next year
and save Nigeria from a rapacious and inept
leadership.”

Relationship is one of the many ways which
we stay connected with one another. It can
be easily built or takes certain years to be
built depending on its type. There are
several kinds of relationship that most
people establish. It could be friendship,
marital, business or associated with one's
place of worship or recreational centres.
Although, where you meet a person may
have little or great effect on the relationship,
but the larger effectis on what platform the
relationship is built on.
Regardless of how you initiate your
relationship, there is always a motive or
platform to which it was built. Hence, that
thing that defines how you behave or
determines the reason why
you behave that way, is said to be the
foundation of your relationship. For
instance, if what led you to start a
relationship or the reason why it exist is
based on the gift you frequently receive,
then the foundation of your relationship is
founded on material benefits. I will talk
more on that latter.
A foundation is a part of a building which
bears all the weight of the building both
dead (the building weight), imposed and
wind load. It determines the strength of the
building. However, in the case of a
relationship, its foundation is the platform
on which the parties involved build their
relationship on. There are several platforms
on which relationship can be built. The
foundation of a relationship has lots to do
with how the relationship would fare when
it faces some challenges. However, if the
foundation is not strong enough, it will
easily fall apart like a building that was built
on the sand.
#1 - DECEPTION
It is often said or generalized by certain sect
ofpeople that the female folks loves deceit.
Although, this may be true but it has a
negative effect on the relationship. Deceit is
misleading a person or giving a false
information about yourself to your partner.
Any relationship built on lies cannot stand
the test of time when it is exposed to the
light of reality. It would also lead to the
breach of trust when the other party
discovers. Hence, not only will the
relationship crumble but the victim is
emotionally wounded and may find it
difficult to trust anyone again.
#2 - MONEY
It is good to have money and the things
money can buy but it become an issue
when it defines the existence of a
relationship. A lot of relationship that was
built on money fails when there's little or no
money in supply. There should be a limit to
how it is used especially when you are
unmarried. Using money to buy affection or
love does not make up for a good
relationship. In fact it will not help you to
know how much your partner loves you.
#3 - LUST
Many people confuse love with lust. Love
develops over a period of time. It doesn't
occur at first sight or evolve suddenly. It
grows with commitment and the
willingness to improve the welfare of the
person you love. However, lust is a strong
desire that comes us suddenly because of a
particular thing you admire in your partner.
It is the mother of infatuation. Any
relationship built on this platform will fail
because lust can never stand the test of
time. It fades quickly after the desire has
been granted.
#4 - FEELINGS
Many relationship are built on feelings.
Feelings comes into play as a result of
shared intimacy or the closeness that
occurred between two people. When you
engage in activities together for a period of
time, there is every tendency for you to
build up feelings for the other person. You
begin to think more often, create fantasies
or wild dreams about the person. The
human mind works like a magnet. When
you bring a magnet close to a metal, there is
anattraction. Such is the case of feelings
that creates affection. A relationship built on
feelingswould fail when the feelings cease
to exist. Relationship cannot thrive longer
on the platform of feelings because it is
temporal.
#5 - SEX
I know that many relationships today are
created on the basis of sexual benefits. Only
a tiny fraction of relationships can survive
without sex for a long period of time before
marriage.Have you seen any relationship
that was established on the platform of sex
that survives or leads to marriage? Maybe
one out of fifty. Love is not sex and sex is
not love. Many people mix up an expression
of love with the art of lovemaking.
*Related articles: 8 Things You Will Not Be
Told About Sex
6Reasons Why Some Men/Women Wants
Sex Before Marriage
Relationship built on sex does not last
because; sex does not make a partner
committed, it does not reveal the true test
of love, it creates depression and guilt, it
creates soul ties and the transfer of STD, it is
not a means of expressing love and it
contradicts God's command. Sex is ONLY
meant for married couples alone.
#6 - LOVE
One of the misunderstood things in life is
love. Most people think they know what it
entails and need not to be enlightened
about it before they venture into practicing
it. Some base their love on feelings,
emotions or on certain conditions and then
build their relationship on it. All of these
cannot sustain relationship in the long run.
Any ground other than decision,
responsibility, commitment and sacrifice to
what love is, will fail. Love does not cease
but feelings does. It does not change but
emotions does and it is unconditional.

You Must Not Believe
#7 - THE FEAR OF GOD
Yes! The fear of God! Does it sound
irrelevant? You may say what has this got to
do with the foundation of a relationship. Do
you know that love is not enough to make a
relationship successful? Love is good but
when certain situation comes, such as
temptation, pressure, influence or the need
to cheat on one's partner; it takes the fear
of God to achieve this. A relationship that is
100% secured or that can weather through
any storm is one that is built on the fear of
God. The fear of God is a guide that
prevents one from doing evil, becoming
ignorant or acting is foolishness. Love can
fall into temptation but it takes the fear of
God not to yield.
The kind of finishes that is applied to a
building is not as important as the
foundation that supports the building. If the
foundationis bad, how can the building
stand? Having this in mind, the foundation
of your relationship determines the
duration of your relationship and its
success. Foundations like deception,
feelings, money, sex, love or lust cannot give
you a successful relationship. Deception will
fail when it is exposed to reality. Feelings
will cease, money may stop, sexual desire
will fade, lust is temporal but the love that is
built on the fear of God is the best ground
for a successful relationship.

relationships on? Freely share your views.

There are two sides to love that most
people don't understand and these has
affected many relationships. When a thing
that involves emotion, such as love is not
handled properly, it will have a devastating
effect on the life and relationship of
whoever practices it wrongly. Most people
do not know this. They only think love is a
feeling, or based on conditions or an
emotional bonding between two people.
There are some things that needs to be
done or known at some certain stage of the
human life. For instance, it is harmful for a
five month old baby to start learning how to
walk. He needs to master the art of crawling
before he can learn to walk. The same
applies to the way we practice love these
days.
Love is two dimensional. It can either be
expressed or practiced as an
art (lovemaking). Many teenagers or adults
mix up these two dimensional forms of
love. For instance, a guy that sees sex as an
experiment, will tell his girlfriend to prove
love to him. He did not demand for the
expression of love but lovemaking.
However, some ladies might think that the
expression of love is in lovemaking. This is
wrong and the major reasons why many a
relationship fails, end in heart break or
causes emotional trauma.
The Expressive Side Of Love
Love can be expressed in words or actions.
For the unmarried, it is best that they
understand this concept of love and not
mistaken it for lovemaking. If a guy tells you
to prove love to him by giving him sex, he
only wants to make love with you. The
female folks needs to be wise at this
junction. Never make love to someone that
you are not legally married to. This is
premarital sex and it will cost you lots of
things.
For singles, the best way to express love is
to be committed and sacrifice some things
for the welfare of who you love. This will
not cost you much even if the relationship
fails. But if you involve lovemaking as a
means of expressing love when you are not
married, it will lead to regrets and does not
guarantee that the relationship will last
long. Do notfall in love when you are not
ready for it. To love is a decision and a
responsibility that needs to be fulfilled. It
will demand you your time, effort, resources
andemotional stability. The expressive
nature of love requires communication,
commitment and the determination to stay
faithful to that special person. Liking a
person does not involve commitment but
love does.
A true expression of love is not abusive,
violent or victimizing. A person that truly
loves you will not vent his/her anger on you.
Love is gentle and kind. If he/she expresses
love to you by spanking, beating or slapping
you; then you are in for aggression and not
love.
Lovemaking: The Wrong/Right Expression
of Love
Lovemaking involves sexual intercourse and
this is meant to be carried out by married
couples only. Though some may frown at
this, but it does not change how God wants
it to be done or make it invalid. It is just the
truth! Having sex before and outside
marriage brings regrettable consequences,
but making love in marriage has no
consequences. This is how God wants it.
When singles make love, they call it fun or
an experiment they need to gather before
marriage. This is a wrong expression of
love for single men and ladies. It is wrong
because it will lead to STDs, unwanted
pregnancy, create soul ties, depression,
guilt, heart break, condemnation and other
unforgettable consequences. The practice
of love to the married involves an
expression of it in terms of showing
commitment towards each other and
lovemaking as an art. But singles are only
allowed to express love and not make love.
If you are in a relationship or you are about
to start one; there are two sides to the
practice of love which you must know.
Don't confuse an expression of love for
lovemaking. You may be told to prove your
love, but let it be done through showing
concern, commitment or sacrifice for the
one you love, if need be. Do not be misled to
use your body (sex) as a means of
expressing love. Lovemaking is only an art
that is meant for married couples. Singles
can express love through commitment not
through having sex. It doesn't cost much
this way. Remember, the consequences of
lovemaking (having sex) before and outside
marriage outlives the fun that people derive
from it.
What other areas can love be expressed
other than through lovemaking? Kindly
share your opinions.

Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps,
NSCDC, in Ebonyi State, yesterday, arrested a
serial rapist and homosexual, Chibuike
Maduka, who allegedly **** four children
of different parents at Ndibe in Afikpo North
Local Government Area of the state.
The suspect who blamed his strange sexual
escapades on his mother, Mrs. Idam
Augustina Josephine, confessed to have had
sexual intercourse with his mother on
several occasions and that he doesn’t know
what usually compel him to have sex with
children in the area.
Parading the suspect at the Command
headquarters in Abakaliki, the state
Commandant of NSCDC, Mrs. Ego Echendu,
said the suspect was arrested after a tip-off
by an indigene of the area, adding that the
suspect had in a confessional statement
disclosed that he had sexual intercourse
with his mother.
He said: ”We got a tip-off and sent some of
our men to follow up the information
concerning an adolescent male who has
been in the business of raping children.
“We continued to monitor the suspect and
fortunately at about 3 p.m yesterday, our
divisional office at Afikpo North Local
Government Area was able to locate him and
his mother who, we reliably gathered, was
also a key player in the son’s sexual
escapades.
”The suspect confessed to have been having
sexual intercourse with the biological
mother and we asked to know when it
started and he said last year and also
claimed that the mother usually encouraged
him to sleep with children of tender ages.
”Because this case involves women and
children of these age bracket, we want to
transfer this case to the Ministry of Women
Affairs in the state for them to take it from
there.
“He sleeps with his own biological mother
who is in our custody now; and again he
also told us that he is a homosexual, he
sleeps with other male friends.
“From my analysis, I think he has some
sought of brain disorder.”
Vanguard gathered that the suspect, who
hailed from Amangu village in Nkpohoro,
began raping young children since 2008
and a Senior Secondary School, SSS, 1
student of Oziza Secondary School, Afikpo
North Local Government Area of the state.
My mother used me for ritual —Suspect
According to the suspect, “I’m here because
of my mother. She used me for ritual. I don’t
know what I’m doing. If I see a little child I
will **** her; this act started in 2008; it is
not my fault but that of my mother.
“I have **** my mother and four children.
My father is late. I don’t know myself again. I
had homosexual activities with one
Emmanuel three times at Amangu in Afikpo
North Local Government Area.”
His mum denies allegations
Reacting, the mother of the suspect, Mrs.
Idam Augustina Josephine, 45, denied
having any sexual involvement with his son,
insisting that he doesn’t know what was
happening to his son.
She said: “I am 45 years and the mother of
Chibuike Maduka. How can I teach my child
to **** little children? I’m here because my
son **** some children; he is telling a lie,
he never had any sexual relationship with
me.”

 That men find it difficult to sleep with only one woman for a long time is a known fact and this explains why in the days of old the men, even those celebrated and respected ones, have several wives and concubines. But these days, women say it's 50/50. It's a serious battle. A Deputy Director with the State Security Service in Oyo State, Edward Magaji, has dragged his beautiful wife to court for trying to stop his "enjoyment". The SSS director told the court that his wife had been a pain in the neck since he assisted his girlfriend, Miss Natasha Aminu Danbaba, a nurse with Specialist Hospital, Yola, with some token to buy a car,adding that his wife had been terrorizing his girlfriend, calling her all sorts of names to the extent of going to her work place to fight her. He added that his wife committed the action in his presence while he was in Natasha’s house and engaged them in a fight resulting to the breaking of the car’s windscreen. Edward Magaji filed the complaint against his wife in a Magistrate court sitting in Yola, capital of Adamawa. When the counsel to the wife, Barrister Binanu Eston asked Mr Magaji to define the relationship between him and the girlfriend, Mr Magaji simply said he was tired of his wife and could not answer such a question as he has since dumped her due to her many troubles. The wife has four children, but Magaji said her wahala his too much, hence he is no longer interested in her. sss scandal

 An Inspector of the Nigeria Police Force attached to X Squad Section Force, Criminal Investigation Department Annex, Lagos, Anthony Chukwu, has been arrested for defrauding a female Nigerian Medical Director in the United States of America, Miss Veronica Okwara. The Officer defrauded Miss Veronica of N9 million after he had a fake wedding with her. chukwu and veronica Veronica claimed that Chukwu converted the proceeds from the sale of vehicles and other imported items she asked him to sell on her behalf to his personal use. In her petition, Veronica narrated thus: “When I returned to Nigeria on vacation sometime in 2010, a member of my staff stole one of my trucks worth N3.8 million. I was introduced to Chukwu who was then attached to the Special Fraud Unit, SFU of the Nigeria Police in Ikoyi, Lagos to handle the case. After the case, we became friends and Chukwu later proposed to me. Chukwu asked me if I was married and I said no. He told me he had divorced his wife and proposed to me. Because he sounded good, I discussed with my family and accepted his marriage proposal. I fell into his trap and took him to USA where we wedded at North Carolina County Court Marriage Registry. After the wedding, I informed Chukwu about my plans to import cars and other goods to Nigeria for sale. The items include: Toyota Sienna, Toyota 4 Runner, Nissan Path finder, Toyota Sequoia, Honda CRV and 25 pieces of laptops. Chukwu sold the items including 14 vehicles and converted the money from the sale proceeds to his personal use. When I asked for her money, he started threatening to arrest me. I later discovered that Chukwu was still married but planned with his wife to hide her and their three children at Oworonsoki area of Lagos in order to marry me.” The Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Abubakar, has since ordered the Interpol at the Police Headquarters in Abuja to investigate the matter.

But the really amazing thing about the
online business is you do NOT need a
huge sum of money to start it and even
run it like all other offlinebusinesses.
Infact with about $200 you can start a
highly profitable online business which
would provide month-by-month
dependable income in terms of profits.
You will need the money for a website,
autoresponder, hosting etc but most
especially for marketing your business.
This is the reason many people who start
their online businesses fail, some of these
things websites, autoresponders can be
gotten for as little as $100 and even free
sometimes but they fail because they
never created some money for
marketing. So you need money to market
your website.
3. You need to sell to people around you:
There are over 1 Billion people on earth
and a lot of these people have access the
internet – some for fun, research, educate
themselves and SOLVE their problems.
They are looking for solutions to the
different problems they have and if you
can solve their problems for them, they
will PAY you for it without even seeing
you face to face.
They would pay into your bank account.
But many are looking for ways to sell to
foreigners using paypal, clickbank, pay to
read emails, pay to type programs which
do not work for some other countries.

Online marketing may have developed a
sudden surge these past few years, but
many in the know how have felt its rise
even from way then.
As more internet based businesses are
put up, the need to develop new
marketing skills and knowledge based on
this new medium have arisen.
More and more marketing strategies are
being discovered and developed to cope
with the changing face of business the
business world.
The demand for online marketing tips and
strategies have drastically grown and a
new form of business has been born,
internet marketing strategies.
While there are companies that are all
too eager to help your site and business
build a clientele for a fee, there also many
ways that can spread the word about
your sites subsistence in a more cost free
way.
One of this is Opt-in email marketing, also
known as permission marketing.
Opt-in marketing requires the permission
of a willing customer to subscribe to your
marketing materials, materials that take
form in newsletters, catalogs and
promotional mailings via e-mail.
The more opt-in marketing mail is sent,
the more chances there is to bag sales
and more sales. To do this, you must build
a list of all those who wants to subscribe
to your opt-in marketing list.
From your list, you will get your targeted
customer, this is a good list since they
already have shown interest in what you
have to show and sell since they have
willingly signed in for your list.
These are the people who have liked
what they have seen in your site and
have decided they want to see more and
maybe even purchase what ever product
or service your company and site has to
offer.
Many people would think that building
their lists would take hard work and a lot
of time to build and collect names and
addresses. This is not so, it takes a bit of
patience and some strategies but in doing
this list, you open your site and your
business to a whole new world of target
market.
Take the effort to take your business to a
new level, if traffic increase and good
profits are what you want, an opt-in list
will do wonders for your business
venture.
There are many sources and articles in
the internet available for everyone to
read and follow in building a list.
Sometimes they may be confusing
because there are so many and there
different ways.
Different groups of people would have
different approaches in building an opt-in
list, but no matter how diverse many
methods are, there are always some
crucial things to do to build your list. Here
are four of them.
1) Put up a good web form in your site
that immediately follows the end of your
content. While some may say this is too
soon to subscribe for a website visitors
application, try to remember that your
homepage should provide a quick good
impression.
If somehow a website visitor finds
something that he or she doesn’t like and
turns them off, they may just forget about
signing up.
A good web form for subscribing to an
opt-in list is not hard to do. Just write a
simple short statement about how they
would like to see more and get updated
about the site.
Then there should be an area where they
could put in their names and e-mail
address. This web form will automatically
save and send you the data’s inputted. As
more people sign in, your list will be
growing.
2) As mentioned in the first tip, make your
homepage very, very impressive. You
need to have well written articles and
descriptions of your site. Depending on
what your site is all about, you need to
capture your website visitor’s fancy.
Make your site useful and very easy to
use. Do not expect everyone to be tech
savvy. Invest in having good
programming in your site, make your
graphics beautiful but don’t over do it.
Don’t waste your time making the
homepage too overly large megabyte
wise. Not all people have dedicated T1
connections, the faster your site gets
loaded, the better. Go for a look that
borders between simplicity and
sophisticated knowledge.
3) Provide good service and products. A
return customer is more likely to bring in
more business. Even then and now, a
satisfied customer will recommend a
business always.
Word of mouth and recommendations
alone can rake in more business than an
expensive ad. As your clientele roster
grows so shall your list. With more
members on the list, the more people will
get to know about what you have new to
offer.
4) Keep a clean and private list. Never
lose the trust your customers have
entrusted you. If you provide e-mails to
others and they get spammed, many will
probably unsubscribe to you.
Remember, a good reputation will drive
in more traffic and subscribers as well as
strengthen the loyalty of your customers.

Gifting something special to your guy on
Valentine’s Day can be a little tricky. Guys
are usually not so forthcoming or
particular about what they want as gifts.
But that does not mean they don’t love
them. So what to get for them? Well, let
us make your task easy by telling you
about the gifts your guy secretly desires.
Chocolates, roses or soft toys are a
complete no-no; they only prove that
you have not put too much thought into
what to gift him. If you want to give him
the perfect gift, get something which is
really thoughtful. Here are few ideas for
the perfect Valentine’s Day gift for your
guy.
1. Sports memorabilia
Is your boyfriend a sports freak? We
know when it comes to guys you might
feel this question should not be asked,
but we still want you to think hard and
answer. We want you to recollect what
sport he actually likes and what teams or
players are his favourites
2. You can gift him the sports
memorabilia of his favourite team. His
favourite team’s jersey or an autograph
of his favourite player will definitely
make him go over the moon. You can
easily find sports memorabilia from
various auction sites. So, start bidding in
advance. If this is out of your reach, then
you can gift him match tickets or an
annual subscription to his favourite
sports magazine. If nothing else works,
it is easy to find a jersey or jacket with
his favourite player’s number on it.
3. Perfume
Guys love to be pampered just like girls.
This is something we know they would
never accept! So, gift him a high-end
perfume that he has been lusting after
for ages. Try to figure out his taste, the
perfume notes he prefers, look for his
favourite brand and make your choice
accordingly.
If you don’t like his choice of perfume
then you gift him something that you
think will make him smell good. Ask a
buddy of his to tag along, so that he can
help you make a good choice.
4. Gadgets
Guys love gadgets and they secretly
desire for them always. You don’t need
to break your bank account by gifting
your boyfriend a high priced gadget;
you can give him something quirky and
fun. A water-based alarm clock, a USB
drive in the shape of his favourite super
hero or a new set of stylish noise-
cancelling headphones will definitely
make him happy. You can also get some
colourful Bluetooth speakers, to add a
colourful spark to his room.
5. Fun things
Try for things that are a little different
and fun. Colourful shot glasses with
crazy captions, stylish bottle openers
and even stoppers, a Kamasutra card set,
a Swiss knife, darts game or a poker
chip set are some of the fun things
which will make your guy’s face light up
with delight. Well, such a gift would also
show your man, what a “cool” girlfriend
you are!
6. Chocolates
By chocolates we don’t mean those gifts
packs that are available in supermarkets.
Your chocolates need to be a little hatke.
After all, they are for the most hatke
person in your life! Premium dark
chocolates stuffed with paan, chilly or
saunf can really tingle his taste buds. If
your guy is not too adventurous with his
food, you can gift the traditional
chocolates with praline and nuts filling.
7. Dig into his likes
This one depends on how well you really
know your man. Think about what he
likes, it can be something completely
nerdy or totally luxurious. If comics are
all that your man talks about, get hold of
a vintage comic to surprise him this V-
day. If he is obsessed with a music band
or a movie character (does Rocky or
Family Guy ring a bell?), gift him a graffiti
tee with his favourite picture or a quote.
And, if your sweetheart is into music,
gift him a guitar or a set of drums or
limited edition vinyl records that he has
been saving up for.
If your man is obsessed with his work,
this is a perfect opportunity for you to
get him a luxurious pen, which would
remind him of you even when he is at
work. High-end pens like Mont Blanc and
Pierre Cardin can make any guy swoon.
And, fountain pens are really fashionable
and are symbolic of good taste and
sophistication.
8. Homemade goodies
If you really cannot afford to gift your
guy something expensive, then whip up
something for him at home. Show him
that you can be a domestic goddess by
making some chocolate chip cookies.
Put them in a tin and write a cute note
for him. You can also create
personalised gift cards for him with
‘gifts’ such as giving him the TV remote
for an hour, breakfast in bed, not
making annoying noises when his
favourite match is on, giving him a kiss
whenever he demands and so on. He
can redeem these gift cards whenever
he likes and you can surprise him all
through the year.
This Valentine’s Day is going to be a
pleasant surprise for your guy, we are
sure. What have you decided to gift him?

 A man, Toby Sheldon, who is obsessed with pop brat Justin Bieber spent a staggering £60,000 on surgery in an effort to look like his hero. bieber_2 Sheldon, who has spent the past five years having surgery to make him look like the pop star, couldn’t be more pleased with the results. He admitted: “Once Justin shot to fame his face was everywhere and I all I kept thinking when I saw his picture was, ‘I want to look like him.” That plastic surgery includes face fillers, a chin reduction and eyelid surgery. Songwriter Toby admits to being addicted to surgery, telling TLC show My Strange “What I do with my money is I get surgery to look more like Justin Bieber.” Toby started losing his hair when he turned 23, and it was at this point that he decided to start having treatments, spending £5,000 on hair transplants. When Justin became a worldwide star at the tender age of 12, Toby, who has a fear of getting old, used him as an inspiration to change his own look. Despite fawning over the troubled pop star, Toby insists he’s not a fan of his music. He added: “I didn’t necessarily listen to his music or fawn over him as a celebrity, but his face was just so flawless every change I made was modeled after him.” The surgery fanatic has even had SMILE SURGERY in an attempt to emulate the boyish Justin look. Toby admitted: “The more I started studying Justin and young people in general it’s really their smile that gives them their youthful glow. “If you look closely, you’ll notice that when younger people just barely have their mouths open they naturally show their top teeth, giving them a sort of natural and effortless smile.” Despite the whopping amount he’s already spent, the addict said there is still more work to be done, including a nose job and jaw reduction. Delighted with his new look, Toby said: “Between our similar hairstyles, baby faced smile and overall youthful appearance I finally look like Justin Bieber and I couldn’t be happier about it.”

Nigerians may be spending more
money to recharge their phones than
they spend on feeding, a recent survey
by the National Bureau of Statistics
(NBS) and the World Bank has
indicated.
recharge-cards
The result of the General Household
Panel Survey conducted by the NBS in
collaboration with the World Bank Living
Standard Measurement Study Group
indicated that each household in Nigeria
spends an average of N20,874 on
recharge cards, N14,620 on food N33,
373 on house rent, N13,860 on petrol,
N7,748 and N6,660 on kerosene on a
monthly basis.
Using the data as a basis to calculate for
the entire country showed that on
average monthly, Nigerians spend about
N449.73 billion on recharge cards,
N399.65 on food, N143.3 billion on
kerosene, and N149.17 billion on house
rent.
The data also showed that Nigerians
hardly use mortgages facilities to pay for
their homes, but rather purchase houses
directly. According to the data, the
amount spent to service mortgages was
the least of the expenditure profile of
the average Nigerian family with an
average of N3.09 billon used monthly as
against the monthly estimate of N149.17
billion spent on payment of house rents
monthly.
According to the NBS, 5000 households
were selected from the NBS’ annual
general household database (cross-
sectional covering the six geo-political
zones) and surveyed to generate the
data released in the GHS Panel report for
2012/2013.
Though the data above indicates
average expenditure patterns by per
household in Nigeria, it was enlarged to
cover the entire population in the
country.
The NBS estimates that the average
Nigerian family had 5.7 people per
household. Using a population of 170
million as at year end 2013, an
estimated 29.8 million households were
gotten for the entire country.

 Iyanya is arguably one of the few Nigerian Musicians with a couple of multi-national deals signed so far. Iyanya signed another mouth-watering deal with a Chinese multinational company Lenovo, which produces electronic gadgets. The deal is said to be in the range of 30 million naira or more, based on the fact that Iyanya doesn’t take less from previous signed deals. Congratulations to him…

Every man wants a woman he can be proud
of and with whom he can enjoy life with.
Men have preference and are very selective
whenever they are making their choice on
who to marry. Some would go for physical
features, potentials, maturity, financial
prowess or a combination of these. On the
contrary, some are constrained in their
preference to exclude highly educated or
rich ladies from their search. Why?
Why is these an issue? A lady asked me in
dismay? I thought within myself what the
answers could be. I can only conclude that
these men that are afraid of marrying these
ladies are myopic in their view. Will you say
your daughter or sister should not further
her education or rise to the peak of her
career if she wants for fear of being
ostracized in the society? I'm not using this
article to laud women but to open the eyes
of some men. Isn't it a pride for you if your
wife happens to be the CEO of a renowned
bank or company?
Men, there is a way you can treat 'your'
woman that will make her blossom.
Consider the quoted word. I will share that
with you in one of my next post. After I
made my observations about the reasons
why some men do not want to marry the
women that are better than them, I
discovered the followings as their problem.
LOW SELF ESTEEM
One personality disorder that most people
suffer is low self esteem, hence, men are not
exempted from this. Low self esteem is
rating yourself so low while comparing
yourself with another person. If some men
could be wise to know what a woman
wants, you will not allow self esteem issue
to belittle your real worth. Marriage is not
about comparison. If it were to be,
everybody will be looking out for their mate
(with the same IQ, temperament, maturity or
understanding) to marry. Men needs to
change their perception about this kind of
ladies if love is the drive for the relationship.
LACK OF UNDERSTANDING
When a thing is under-studied, it will be very
difficult to handle it properly. One thing that
has been discovered is that men in this
category lack the understanding of how to
deal with these kind of ladies. Apart from
the fact that some of them could be
disrespectful or proud, women can easily be
handled if you deal with them in knowledge.
What makes a man a player? His ability to
deceitfully play with the life of a woman. But
if a woman is well studied and understood
properly, there is a way to love her and she
will worship you irrespective of her
achievements or status.
FEAR
A key factor that prevents men from
marrying educated/rich ladies is fear. How
will I cope with her? How can I fit into her
life and status? Many 'how' are the
questions most men ask themselves. If your
main reason for marrying her is 'love', I
mean true love; not for her money or status,
I see no reason why you should be afraid of
asking her hand in marriage. A lot of men
are afraid because they felt they will be too
expensive to manage. Money does not make
a good marriage but genuine love and a
handful of money.
SOCIETAL BELIEF
There are some things that lack an element
of truth which most people do accept as
true. Of such is that wealthy or educated
ladies cannot make a good wife or better
mothers. Men are the carrier of this belief,
hence it is untrue. When a woman makes up
her mind to be good, nothing can change
that decision except she is treated harshly.
Do not join the society to spread this
unbiased belief about women.
One thing I have realized is that God made a
woman's affection to be directed towards a
man. Hence it is understanding that will
make a man identify what his wife needs.
However, it is how knowledgeable a man is
that will determine how he lives with her.
Men needs to change their perception about
the status of the woman they want to marry.
If genuine love is the drive for the
relationship, there's a way you can live with
her that will make her respect you. However,
some women lacks respect and are proud
when they have more.
If an educated/richer woman what comes
your way, do not allow fear, societal belief,
low self esteem or lack of understanding
make you to loose her. Genuine love and
patience is the secret to a woman's heart.
Give her these and she will naturally respect
and forever submit to your lordship
regardless of her status. But be ready to
treat her right. Moreover, you two must be
meant for each other. You cannot expect a
woman that does not love you or pretends
to love you to make a good wife even if
she's educated/rich. Awake the man in you.
Don't be intimidated.

With Sony’s high-level exit from the PC
business, it is basically turning down any
device that operate on the Windows
operating system, the standard Windows
desktop computer OS, that is.
First the problem. Sony CEO Kazuo Hirai did
make it clear in Tokyo on Thursday that
Microsoft Windows for PCs is not part of its
future.
“Windows gadgets will visit the new
company,” he said, in a press conference
that was largely mentioned in the Japanese
media, referring to Japan Industrial Partners,
the investment fund that will certainly take
over Sony’s PC business.
That declaration was part and parcel of
Sony’s new mobile objective. “In the mobile
arena, we decided that it is crucial now to
concentrate on smartphones and tablets,”
Hirai claimed.
There was a qualifier. “Microsoft has
numerous OSes, including mobile. As Sony,
we will consider new gadget development
going forward.”
CEOs normally do not drop tips regarding
future items unless they have a
regarding
future items unless they have a clear
strategy in place. So, it appears that Sony is
taking into consideration smartphone and
tablets that would certainly run on an
operating system like Windows Phone 8.
