Buhari Greets Adeshina And Family From Abroad

NEWS: Buhari Greets Adeshina's Family-Say Greet your family

Mr. Femi Adesina, the Special Adviser to President Muhammadu Buhari on Media and Publicity, says he has spoken to the number one citizen in London.
Adesina who had always maintained that Buhari is ‘hale and hearty’ had always told Nigerians that though he has not spoken to the president, he speaks with those around him in London.
Adesina took to his twitter handle on Saturday saying, “Spoke with PMB a short while ago. Glad to hear his voice. Told me he was resting, but no cause for worry. Said I should greet my family”.
According to him, the president thanked him for holding out against mischief makers.

“Thanks for holding out against mischief makers, PMB tells me during a phone call today. Said he would call again soon. Gave him best wishes”, he tweeted.
He however did not say if the president sent any message to Nigerians.
Adesina is the latest person to say he has spoken to the president ever since Buhari left the country on January 19 for a medical vacation in London, United Kingdom.
A few individuals, with the last being the Kano state governor, Abdullahi Ganduje claim to have spoken with the president who reportedly told them he is doing fine and only needs to rest.
More recent reports also claim that he spoke with the governor of his home state, Katsina, Bello Masari.
Buhari had initially informed the Senate that he was taking a ten day vacation, handed over power to the Vice President, Yemi Osinbajo, who has been in acting capacity since then.
Buhari however, at the expiration of the ten days sent another letter to the Senate that he is taking more days to attend to his health, as he awaits results of medical tests conducted.“Thanks for holding out against mischief makers, PMB tells me during a phone call today. Said he would call again soon. Gave him best wishes”, he tweeted.

Sanisu Names Leaders Selfless

EMIR of Kano, Malam Muhammadu Sanusi II has named politicians to be selfless in his speech

he accuses them of only being concerned about their family members only.

The former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria spoke on Wednesday, February 8 in Abuja at the award presentation ceremony of ‘Most Security Conscious Governor’ to Gov. Yahaya Bello of Kogi by the Nigeria Police Force.

Sanusi said: “The bane of leadership in Nigeria is that the leaders are selfish; they only think of their families.”

“Those of us who think that public office is a place to enjoy ourselves should think again.

He noted that poverty was one of the bane to security in the country.

“Poverty, lack of education is violence; it breeds violence because many segments of the society are denied access to basic amenities.”

He called on people in authority to prioritise the needs of their people.

He added that due to lack of allocation of resources infrastructure development has suffered.

The emir noted that security was a serious issue that every government must make it a priority.

He applauded the success the government has recorded in the fight against insurgency and said this should be extended to the issue of security.

“Once a state cannot provide security, it is not fit to be a state.”

The Inspector-General of Police, Mr Ibrahim Idris, said since Governor Bello came into power; the police had recorded outstanding achievements in the area of security.

“He was the first to donate vehicles to the Nigeria Police Force since I became the IG”

5 TOOLS YOU SHOULD USE AS A PUBLISHER IN THE INDUSRTY

Like any other professionals, if you are without your tools, you can't get to work, such as afarmer without his hole and cutlasses would not cultivate or even harvest bountifully. The same applies to anyone with a job, business, or even a hobby and even the simple daily task of everyday life - 

its important for you to know that you need your tools. 

As an author, you, too, need your tools in your author toolbox, and I am going to share five main tools that, in my opinion, are helpful to a newbie as well as an established writer.

1. Wordpress -

This is a platform that is used for blogging and for building websites. It is truly user friendly to a newbie and if you are a non-techie, you would love using this. Wordpress.com is free to use and you can have it set up within minutes. For those of you who are just starting to write and who are a bit unsure of whether your material, thoughts, and ideas are worth sharing or would capture an audience, I would strongly suggest starting with this blogging platform and sharing your work. You may just garner comments, likes, and the confidence over time to believe that you do have something that is worth writing about that an audience would be interested in reading and buying.

ONLINE COMMUNITIES

2. Social Media - 

Nothing happens these days without social media. If you want to know what's trending, check out Twitter and Facebook. If you want to join a professional community and interact, join Linkedin and Google Plus. For authors, a place like Goodreads is a great place to start. There are lots of book communities where authors hang out and share, and, by the way, it's also a good place to get reviews - if you are looking for some.

I found this really cool blog that shares a gallery of 10 social networks for writers. Check it out here: http://mashable.com/

2012/01/23/social-networks-writers/#W1AXf0410gqi . And, hey, don't only feel compelled to use the traditional, though popular social media sites. Go over to YouTube and talk about your books on video; have book study groups if you are an established author; or just choose your favourite book and create a discussion. Now, you also have Facebook live. Make use of it!

INCREASING SALES

3. Publishing Sites - 

Online platforms such as Amazon, Create Space, and Lulu.com are the three main places I would highly recommend to publish your books. You are free to check out others, but I encourage you to read through the terms and conditions and features of the site. Amazon has been really stepping up its game in helping authors get their work noticed, and I am sure most of you are not aware or keeping up with this to increase your sales,especially since Amazon is offering all this to you for free!

Take advantage of authorcentral; KDP; promote events; do a buy one, get one at a discounted price offer and pre orders of books, and much more!

4. Book Launches - 

Don't only attend your own book launch. Go to others - whether friend or foe. Learn from it and apply for your next book launch or event. The thing is, if you support someone, you will get support. Don't be selfish. Open yourself to supporting a fellow author, and that person, or maybe another, will most likely be helpful to you when you really need it.

5. Opt ins - 

I always recommend this as it is the one sure-fire way to build subscribers and followers to your site, blogs, and work and allow for generation of income. Use this tool to build relationships with your audience and you can be set for a long time. Give them value and keep them interested with great content, offers, and giveaways, and at the right time, you can approach them with offers for sale. With this few, they would be at least enough to support you. Not all would, but some will, and that's a start.

Happy Blogging
