This is a guest post by fellow Nigerian blogger: Mr Akan
Before you start, let me warn you, this is a very long post. But you will enjoy it.
A lot of Nigerians (some people I know) wonder and even argue with me. They don’t really believe Nigerians can make money online. “There are too many negatives working against us” they say.
But you, yes you reading this post now. What do you believe?
The Henry Omenogor’s Breakthrough Experience continues as I vent my frustration on autoblogging and blogging farms and their infringement of my copyright 
Hesham of FamousBloggers had voiced his non-acceptance of automated blogs about a week ago before I attended the seminar and now I can understand why.
After the long and tedious tutorials on setting up blog farms and autoblogs, I had to ask one question. "Isn’t this autoblogging business copyright infringement?" Henry Omenogor's answer was NO! As long as you have an RSS on your site/blog, your articles are basically free to be used all over the internet as the user chooses.
As earlier promised (StrictlyOnlineBiz’s Top Blog Posts Of The Week 9), this post will mark the beginning of a series of post churned from my experience of Henry Omenogor’s Breakthrough Seminar which took place on the 27th February 2008 @ 12.20pm.
Today is the D-Day. I should be getting my call-up letter to the NYSC camp. All of a sudden I’m kinda wishing I had applied for Lagos as my first choice. As the days get closer, I’m reminded of my hatred for packing my travelling bag and I just wish I would be in Lagos where I can have easy access to all my property without having to pay a huge sum to fly them down to somewhere else.
I keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.
This will be the last installment of StrictlyOnlineBiz Top Blog Posts until my 3 week stint @ the NYSC camp is over. During those three weeks, Mondays and Wednesdays shall be dedicated to all what I learned from attending Henry Omenogor’s Breakthrough seminar on the 27th of February 2010. Fridays will be dedicated to regular blog posts and an excellent guest post by Mk Akan. Actually he’ll be the first guest blogger @ StrictlyOnlineBiz 
All comments during the upcoming weeks will be moderated via my little phone but replies will not be possible until I’m out of camp unless if by some magic, I’m enabled access to a laptop/PC while sweating it out @ camp 
.
So I hope this week’s top blog posts meets you all well and here they are:
I’ve been trying to reduce the amount of plug-ins on my wordpress blogs for a long time now and so far so good, I’m down to 28 TOTALLY necessary plug-ins. Get Recent Comments by Krischan Jodies unfortunately didn’t make the cut as I decided to use the default Recent Comments widget offered by the Wordpress software.
Unfortunately, the default Recent Comments widget also includes trackbacks and pingbacks and the sight ain’t so lovely thus I had to add this hack to weed out the trackbacks and pingbacks.
To all Nigerians looking to switch from their present web hosts to Hostgator, this post will detail every requirement needed by them @ the time of ordering from them.
I’ve offered this same solution, to three other folks via email and hopefully more people will find this useful.
What a week! I’ve been messing around with my theme files so much that some of you might have outdated files cached in your browser and thus some information/images etc might appear twisted or worse: new info might not appear @ all.
I implore you all to please clear your browser caches so you can get the most recent configuration of my theme/blog. If you don’t know how to do this on your own please try CCleaner so you can clear your browser cache and windows temporary files as well!
Tomorrow, by God's grace, I’ll be attending my very first make money online seminar hosted by a Nigerian "guru". This time around Henry Omenogor will supposedly be showing those in attendance how to make real money from The Business of : Affiliate Programs, Blog Farming & Autoblogging! As a bonus he’s also going to teach how to open, verify, fund and withdraw from Payoneer, PayPal and LibertyReserve as well as how to bid on Lime Exchange.
As always, if you stay subscribed to my feed, you’ll DEFINITELY receive a free update regarding ALL the info offered @ this seminar. This is for the benefit of those of you who can’t attend or are wary cos they’ve been conned before.
Now let’s discuss the business of the day
Seeing that the make money online info product niche is getting seriously saturated and sales are hard to come by, some of Nigeria's internet marketing gurus have moved on to a new business model which is focused around the setting up of adsense/affiliate blogs and websites for a fee.
Most of them have announced their retirement from the information product marketing arena as they move on to blog setup services which has some serious issues as is expected.
Daniel Scocco of Daily Blog Tips made his contribution to the make money online blogging community by releasing, sometime last year, a 54 paged free report titled Make Money Blogging though I’m just actually taking a good look @ it’s contents
To be sincere, I’ve seen better blogging free reports such as Income Blogging Guide by Andrew Rondeau and Joel Williams but then the major difference between these two lies in the fact that, Income Blogging Guide actually guides you through setting up a wordpress blog while Daniel’s report takes on the do’s and don’ts of blogging for money and monetization strategies for established blogs
In continuation are most of the issues outlined in Daniel Scocco’s Make Money Blogging Free Report.

I took a bold step @ achieving my dreams of becoming a singer/songwriter last Tuesday and auditioned for Nigeria’s Star Quest 2010. I did a song of mine and was asked to do another, so I did the bridge of Beyonce’s If I Was A Boy. Unfortunately that wasn’t enough for the judges. They asked me to sing yet another song this time by a Nigerian artiste and there and then singer’s block set it in. LMAO.
I can’t sing any Nigerian song even if my life depended on it. I tried TuFace Idibia’s African Queen and had to stop 10 seconds into the song cos I just sounded STUPID. I simply couldn’t fake it and the crowd burst out laughing. That moment was priceless !
End of story, I was told Star Quest 2010 was a NIGERIAN talent show and that I needed to sound NIGERIAN!
That’s one feat that I know I might NEVER be able to achieve cos none of the few vocalists in Nigeria has what it takes to make me actually want to go the extra mile to learn his/her style. Besides I’m so OBSESSED with Mariah and Christina as they are the ones after whom I’ve chiseled certain facets of my voice.
I guess that means I’m back to life as a grumpy Medical Doctor until the Big Guy upstairs says, IT’S YOUR TIME TO BE A STAR! lol
Back to the world of blogging as we know it, here are this week’s top blog posts. Enjoy!
