DIGITAL LITERACY CENTRES FOR RURAL COMMUNITIES
 What does it take to set up and maintain a digital literacy centre in any rural community? Simple! the determination and support of the host community!! The commitment of every government, to the development in its communities can be easily achieved if there is a favourable support from the populace. The role of the community members in the development of their community, cannot be over emphasized.
Recently some well-meaning sons and daughters of Imode Development Association (IDA), including my humble self, embarked on a project to build a Digital Literacy Centre in our community. On the 30th of September 2017, with joy and fulfilment, the project was successfully completed and commissioned by the Kabiyesi, Onimode of Imode, Oba J. A. Dada. Imode is in Oke-Ero Local Government of Kwara State.

Making Money with Website Flipping
 Website flipping is another new way to make money online. This idea has made some people rich. Website flipping means buying and selling websites. You can buy web real estate at a low price and then flip it for up to 100 times the original price. This is like any real estate. You are required to work hard to increase the value of the website. This means generating more traffic and (most importantly) profit from the site. Many Internet entrepreneurs have built profitable websites from scratch with the aim to sell for profit.
Website flipping is defined as the art of building or buying, improving and selling websites. The term comes from the property industry where investors will buy a property, renovate it to add value and then sell it at a higher price. Website flipping is essentially the same process online. Techpreneurs build or buy an established website, add value to the website and then sell the site for a higher price. READ MORE
