Better Nigeria for Nigerians

If freedom of speech is taken away, then dumb and silent we may be led like a sheep taken to the slaughter. ------ George Washington.

Irrespective of what the government is legislating and executing, we,'ve got the power to bear our heart and mind, thank God for technology. They can't stop us, no matter how they tried to. Political parties have divided us enough. Let's unite to speak with one voice.
The change we voted for have got to be implemented. #BetterNigeriaforNigerians

What Does Success Looks Like To You

You may have a product or a service. The product or service may have an e-commerce setup, a brick-and mortar storefront, or a hybrid "click and brick model. It is fair to assume that whatever the case, what you really require is sales of your product or service. Sales are done on the order page of the e-commerce site or by salesperson in the store. The main job of the marketing team is to provide leads to the sales team. A typical digital marketing project may have one or more of the following goals.

1.  Revenue
2.  Branding
3.  Lead Generation
4.  Product or Service Sales
5.  Website Visitor Conversions
6.  Engagement
7.  ROI - Return on Investment

The success criteria, however, would vary depending on the activities undertaken. For example, if engagement is a criterion for you, your best investment might be Facebook or LinkedIn, depending on your type of business.

PMB Corruption Crusade

In all fairness, Buhari is a man of integrity; he is upright. In his regime in 1983, the hallmark of his government was the war against corruption and indiscipline. Even though in an undemocratic way, he was able to do his best. He rode on the same credo to power this second time. I don't have anything against that. Whosoever is found wanting for corruption should be made to face the wrath of the law. But what i am against and our government is against is what we call selective war of persecution of some perceived opponents of government. Since the past six months, they have been picking up people for corruption , 99 percent of those individuals are of the PDP. Was that by accidents?
They stigmatize Jonathan's government and those who served in it as corrupt people. Who is a saint in APC? What do you say of people like EL-Rufai who served for eight years as Director-General of BPE that sold Nigeria? Today, because he is wearing the toga of APC, he is a saint. If Buhari wants to deal with people who ruined the economy, he should identify them in APC.
Corruption should not be fought on the basis of party platform. He should identify people that served and ruined the country regardless of where they belong. I make bold to say that majority of those people are in APC. 70 percent of APC governors were formerly in PDP. The same goes for the senators, House of Representatives members as well as the new ministers that have just been appointed. So, people who ruined the economy are in APC. They were formerly in PDP, but today, they are in APC. So, Buhari should pursue them.
