Reasons for this printed researched publication are:

1. Empirical research shows that HNIs, Top CEOs and Top Companies are usually not active on social media, and often not easily accessible by the middle and lower class individuals though, they make their money through the mass market.
2. One of the best ways to sell your products and services easily is to identify the HNIs (High Networth Individuals) and people that have financial capacity to buy such product or service.
3. When you identify and connect with these financially buoyant individuals, you have to guide such contact jealously because that becomes one of your trade secrets.
4. It is therefore my pleasure to inform you that I have the Corporate Contact Details (including personal names) of the HNIs and highly highly remunerated individuals in Lekki, Ikoyi, Victoria-Island, Ajah and Lagos Island.
5. The Corporate Contact Details was compiled together in a book and it contains over 9,000 HNIs and white collar business executives, and over 4,800 leading companies in Lagos.

Instagram is so huge because it is a platform for building a social network that connects people solely through visual elements, so it is a powerful way to capture and sustain attentions.

You might only be ignoring millions of potential customers by not joining this powerful social media platform. Take the tips you learned here and use them to start building your Instagram presence.

Your bottom line will be glad that you did.

1. It Helps To Connect and Effectively Engage With Customers

While most people think about sites like Facebook and Twitter when it comes to connecting with fans and engaging with customers online — you may be surprised to hear that Instagram has one of the most active and engaged user base.

 Instagram is the perfect platform to connect with customers, listen to their feedback, and build relationships through the conversations you are able to initiate. You can share a photo of a new product and ask people what they think, or give them a sneak peek of a new project and see if they have any input. 

What is better than having customers know you exist? How about the opportunity to engage with them on a daily basis? The fact is that people like to make their opinions known, especially if they like something, and Instagram is a platform for users to like, comment on and share their favorite posts. The more likes and comments you get, the more visible your company becomes. You can get more likes by taking high-quality photos, using local hashtags and partnering with other brands.

2. It Helps To Update People On Your Latest Offers and Promotions.

You can timely share photo updates about your business by sharing the latest activities or events that are happening in your business, such as: sales, product promotions and new collections. You can boost your sales with the use of popular hashtags like #sale #business #product. The use of hashtags will make it easier to find your campaign by users on Instagram.

3. It Helps To Generate Sales

Visual platforms like Instagram are doing more than just generating engagement, they are also driving sales. Creating professional-looking images to promote your products and highlight your services has never been easier or more affordable with the use of Instagram.

Be careful not to fill your feed with product photos with the same caption asking people to “buy now” or “shop online.” Instead, look for creative ways to display your products and let your images speak for themselves.

4. Instagram Offers Ads.

Similar to Facebook, business accounts on Instagram have the option of paying to promote their content. This practice is very beneficial, especially considering the statistics that demonstrate how receptive Instagram’s audience is to these types of advertisements.

Another benefit to advertising on Instagram is that the ads are capable of being highly targeted based on a user’s location, age, gender or interests. Businesses can also include links in their promoted posts, enabling users to click to learn more about them. Businesses are also able to feature ads in their stories.

5. It Helps To Reach New Audiences

Instagram makes it easy to discover new photos, new people, and new businesses. One of the ways that people discover new content on Instagram is through hashtags. Similar to other social platforms, when someone includes a hashtag in a post on Instagram, a link is created and you can view all of the photos that have been shared using that hashtag.

You can also use hashtags to pro-actively find potential customers.

Open Letter To Fela Durotoye, Omoyele Sowore and Kingsley Moghalu

1. This Letter is intended to convey my candid opinion and the sampled views of selected politically conscious youths.
2. The main objective of this letter is to encourage Mr. Fela Durotoye, Mr. Omoyele Sowore, Prof. Kingsley Moghalu and other competent youthful presidential aspirants to suspend their presidential ambitions till 2023; for a more prospecting and/or certain electoral office in 2019, such as: Senate, House of Representative, House of Assembly and local government Chairmanship.
3. I write this letter as a friend, a youth, a supporter, a realist and a strategist.
4. I am not in any political party and I do not intend to vote for any nonperforming politician in 2019; especially the APC and PDP politicians. But I want competent and tested youths to position themselves for the highest position in 2023; though the Nigerian youths have not done enough to fully take charge in 2019.
5. In relative terms, most of the aspiring youths have the competence, capacity, capability, composure and charisma of a leader; and indeed some of the prerequisites to be the President, Governor, Senator, Honourable or local government Chairman in Nigeria.
6. The chances of winning a Senatorial or House of Representative or House of Assembly seat as a new entrant in the Nigeria political scene is far higher than when you want to contest for the presidency seat at your first shot.
7. Apart from funds, logistics, personnel, electoral bottlenecks and other political intrigues, the leading youth aspirants do not have enough political experience to govern, lobby and manage the political gladiators and the Nigerian citizens. In governance, political experience outweighed the corporate or street experience.
8. A four year experience in the legislative chamber in order to understand bureaucratic processes and structures of government is worth more than million dollar cash. As such, it should be seen as an essential training period to prepare you for the presidency in 2023.
9. The four years period will give you the opportunity to have more practical knowledge about the workings in the Legislative, Judiciary and Executive arms of government. It would also expose you to loopholes and opportunities in Nigeria economy, mistakes of the past and how to correct them, and information about International Diplomacy.
10. Four years as a legislature will further serve two purposes. One, you will know more about real governance and politics. Two, you will be able to sell yourself more to the people — your constituents and the larger society, through your sponsored bills, facilitated projects, contributions on the floor of the house and your feedback mechanism to the society.
11. With the passion, strategies and awareness created in the last 18 months, Fela Durotoye, Omoyele Sowore and Kingsley Moghalu have what it takes to easily unseat any of the 109 senators in Nigeria; especially the senators representing Lagos State (Sen. Remi Tinubu, Sen. Gbenga Ashafa and Sen. Adeola Yayi) because that is where most of their supporters are domiciled.
12. With the campaign and awareness created by you (Fela Durotoye, Omoyele Sowore and Kingsley Moghalu), you don’t have to be a member of the APC or PDP before you can win as a Senator, House of Reps or House of Assembly member. Most Nigerian youths are proud of you because you have fantastically exhibited the Nigerian spirit through your strides.
13. So, your performance as a Senator or Honourable will be your selling point as you prepare to contest for the presidency in 2023.
14. As a way to be known beyond your constituency when elected as a Senator or Honourable, you can begin a monthly feedback or world press conference or town hall sessions where you inform Nigerians about your perception or alternative solutions to government policies. Through such gesture, Nigerians and the world would know more about you and your acceptance rate might rise.
15. There are over 1000 political offices to be contested for in 2019: Presidency (1), Senate (109), House of Rep (360), House of Assembly (over 774). Governorship (30). So, this is an opportunity for the Nigerian youths to position themselves and grab the opportunities that are open in this election window.
16. So, I encourage Fela Durotoye, Omoyele Sowore and Kingsley Moghalu to pick up the Senate or House of Representative nomination form from their Political Parties and submit same before INEC’s deadline.
17. ONCE MORE, FELA DUROTOYE, OMOYELE SOWORE AND KINGSLEY MOGHALU, YOU HAVE BETTER CHANCES OF WINNING AS A SENATOR, HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE OR HOUSE OF ASSEMBLY THAN WINNING AS A PRESIDENT OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA IN 2019 BASED ON THE FACTORS MENTIONED ABOVE AND OTHER NUMEROUS FACTORS.
18. I look forward to address these gentlemen as Senators in 2019 and anyone of them as President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria in 2023.

HIERARCHY IN THE ANIMAL FARM

George Orwell wrote the book Animal Farm and he satirically created an Animal Farm Hierarchy in the book. He used the hierarchy to distinguish and showcase POWER. He opined that Animal Farm Hierarchy represents a Class System, Differentiation and Discrimination in the society. He further classified the hierarchy into four:

The Napoleon,

The Pigs,

The Dogs and

The Other Animals.
