    Are the youths of today better than yesterday?

    That takes a lot of thinking. In some ways yes, in some ways no. Today’s youths get access to information, tech, and opportunity that our parents do not have access to. But at the same time, many people are chasing a soft life too much, and there is no patience again. I remember growing up, hard...

    Why does love turn sour for some couples?

    I don't really believe that love can just turn worse overnight, something is always building up little by little. Most times I think it's lack of communication or pride. I’ve seen couples who just stop talking to each other just because both of them want to prove a point. And in that case...

    What is one thing you would like to change in yourself?

    I think it’s my habit of overthinking. I find myself to always analyze everything like I am a detective 😂. Sometimes I wish I could just relax and stop stressing over small things,. especially those things that doesn't matter. Even when things appeared to be ok, I would still be imagining the...

    Do you easily forgive and forget?

    Honestly, I try to forgive but to forget is a little hard 😅. I let go of the anger, but the memory I had will still stick somewhere in my head. I remember one friend that I borrowed my money and he ghosted me for months. I forgave him but anytime he mentions “bro, trust me,” I just laugh because...

    Who is your ideal in your life?

    For me, it’s my mum. That woman hustle for us a lot. She taught me hard work and patience without even talking too much, her actions . Sometimes when things get rough, I just remember her strength and it makes me want to keep moving and to never give up. I’ve also picked up small motivation from...

    Do you like to visit hills or beaches?

    I’m more of a beach person, honestly. That calm breeze and waves just reset my mind. Hills are nice too but I don't think I have the energy for hiking 😂. Last time I went to Elegushi Beach, I just chilled with a cold drink. It was so cool. Maybe one day I’ll try Obudu Hills( a popular hill in...

    Do you put real picture on your profile on the sites?

    To be honest, it actually depends on the platform. For Facebook and LinkedIn, yeah, I use my real photo. But for forums or Reddit, I prefer using avatars or random pics. Sometimes it’s just better for privacy issues. But I understand when people use their real face, it makes you look more authentic.

    Have you converted a friend from social media in to a real friend?

    Yeah, actually! I met one guy from Twitter back in 2022. We were always arguing about crypto, then later we became friends. Funny enough, we met face-to-face like six months after. It felt weird at first but now we talk almost daily. Sometimes online friends are more real than the physical...

    How much spice in food you like?

    I like spicy food a lot but not the to the extent of burning my tongue 😅. I just want that perfect balance where pepper is added in moderation and some other spices are balanced. I remember one time I ate suya in Abuja, my eyes were tearing! Since then, I just want it to be moderate especially...

    Do you keep cash, these days?

    I rarely do as I often do money transfer via my bank app. It's easy because virtually everyone accepts money transfers for any goods you purchase. But sometimes I still keep small notes for emergencies or if there is a network issue and I couldn't make online transaction. It's usually shocking...

    How to Start Selling Freelance Services as a Beginner

    The best way is to just start without procrastinating. I began on Fiverr back in 2019, I had no clue, just the tutorials from YouTube. It took weeks before I got my first client but that one gave me confidence. So you really need to build small portfolio, even if you would start with free jobs...

    Why most people don't monetize sites with adsence?

    Honestly, it’s because AdSense is not easy to deal with. Getting approval alone can make you give up, especially for Africans. Google will keep rejecting you for “thin content” or “low value content” until they just feel like approach it. That is why so many people just prefer affiliate or...

    Do You Do Social Media Marketing

    Yeah, I started with promoting my blog on Facebook groups and Twitter. I’ve tried running ads too, but sometimes Meta will just take all your money without showing results. To be fair, it’s not just about spending, you need strategy and good timing. I’m still learning, especially how to target...

    Do You Have Monetizing Social Pages?

    I’ve got one or two pages but I haven't put much work to get them monetised. My Facebook page has not started to bring in money. But if you build an audience well, you can earn from partnership program and affiliate links. The real work here is to be very consistent. I remember when I stopped...

    How Do You Create eBooks

    For me, I just use Google Docs or Canva, then convert to PDF. Canva has some nice templates that make your book look very professional even if you’re not a designer. The main thing or difficulties is formatting and editing. I remember my first eBook, it was full of typos, lol. Later, I take my...

    Is blogging dying??

    Hmm, I’ve heard that same thing too many times, but in my opinion, blogging can't die. It’s just evolving. People now prefer short content, yes, but blogs still serve as the main base for tangible info. Even YouTubers are now writing blog posts for SEO. To be fair, you just need to adapt, mix...

    How to Make Your Blog Visually Appealing

    I learnt the hard way that looks matter a lot for blogs. I think I got approved by Google Adsense within a month that I created https://uptrendsignal.com/ because I took my time to make it visually appealing. If you just have text everywhere with no structure and no attractive color, people...

    Have You Tried Domain Flipping

    Yeah, I tried that once. Bought a domain I thought would boom, waited for months… nothing. I ended up selling it for the same price, lol. It’s not as easy as some YouTubers make it look. You need timing, luck, and good eye for valuable names. Now I only buy domains when I actually have plans for...

    What’s the biggest mistake you made when starting your first website, and what did you learn from it?

    My biggest mistake? Chasing traffic over value. I was writing just to get clicks, not to build trust. Later I realised people can literally smell if something is fake from afar, lol. So, since then, I just have to slow down and focus on what I actually enjoy writing. The day I stopped trying to...
