What you said made a lot of sense. But, think on this, what if you were to write
a killer post title? I am not suggesting your information is not solid., however what if you added a headline that
grabbed people’s attention? I mean Breaking News: Retired Justice Karibi-Whyte
dies at 88 | TNT Nigeria is a little plain. You might peek at Yahoo’s home page and note
how they create article headlines to grab people to click. You might try adding a video or
a picture or two to get readers interested about everything’ve written. Just my opinion, it would make your posts a little bit more
interesting.
