Dear LIB readers, should I take political ads?

Abeg, I need y'all to help me out with this dilemma. Contrary to what some of you think, I haven't, so far, collected a dime from any political party to run ads or a story. If you see any banner ads on my blog, it's from Google adsense and not direct from me. And the stories are absolutely not sponsored.

But the thing is, in the last few months, and it has especially intensified in the last few weeks, reps of political parties have been coming to me to run their ads. And the kind of money they are throwing at me...OMG! Lol. So far, I have resisted. I restrict my ads to strictly brands but these political ad  people will not leave me alone. They say every media platform in the world run political ads so I should be open minded. I'm talking about APC, PDP, their supporters and enemies.

And the money is PLENTY! Like, y'all won't believe how much they are throwing at me.. Lol. What do y'all think? Should I run political ads from both parties? It could make me increase LIB Giveaway Mondays, so all of us will chop inside. Lol. Or should I just leave it alone? I'm sincerely confused. *sigh*

Pls don't. Stay neutral and do what you know best to do which is blogging

I think you should.

Linda, my take on this is that many have gone that way before now and have been thrown in the dustbin of time. Yes , good money will come from Politicians but will you be able to turn down Ads that fuels crisis when such are sent to you for publication ? I think God has been sufficient for you. With or without money from Politician , you are well of. Don't be linked to any of these Politicians and Parties. God Bless Nigeria , God Bless you. - Olayemi.

I sincerely think you should ask your father /parents. U need their blessing before dabbling into politics. Plus set rules now on what u post and what u won't on time, so that money doesn't waive your sense when the time comes.

Unknown said...

Its good u said that the ones here already are not from you cos i was gonna ask u privately. In my own opinion dont succumb to their demands. Will u choose one over the other? Or will u advertize the two in other to bring more conflict? Dont make ur blog a place for political party advertorials please cos might dent ur image.##MyOpinion##

Linda, its obvious you want to collect the ADS...you dont need any one's approval, you are the captain of your life, the driver of your own fate and master of your business, you are the CEO..whatever you want and deem right, please do. I pray God gives you a husband soon. If you had a hubby you wouldnt come here to ask, you would have asked him and you will take whatever he tells you....COMMON, collect the money, dont be a bastard Igbo girl, stop thinking like Hausa or Yoruba...LINDA, THINK LIKE AN IGBO GIRL

BONARIO NNAGS said...

Lol Lindiway no doubt the offer is tempting, but they are like Greece gifts, they come with many connotations.
Soon one party will accuse you of posting more of the others adverts, and trust them to go messy and petty with their adverts.
Everything is not money,for the sake of reputation LIB has built, I don't welcome the idea.
My two cents.

Anonymous said...

Linda,

Please pray about it. Not everything that looks good is good.

The minute you accept their money, it immediately makes you bi-partisan (hence why media companies like CNN dont run political adverts (doing so can bite you in the behind, depends on who wins, ask Ynaija)

Even though GOD has promised to transfer the wealth of the heathen to his children, i still believe you should pray about it and let God guide your decision, as it can also be a set-up

Run ads since money is involved.No dull your self.

Unknown said...

Linda, this blogging thing is a business. No sentiments attached. Running political ads will boos your income so why not. You'd be running ads from different parties not just one. It would only pose a problem when one party wants to monopolise your blog. You can run ads as you please, last I checked you weren't a J.Witness so it shouldn't pose a problem.

Wesco said...

You can run ads for the two parties as long as you are not biased. Dont try and show any support for any of the party.

Anonymous said...

As for political advertisements, I think you should host them but subject to screening (for decency). Since google adsense already runs such ads on your site, your refusal to run direct ads is moot.
As for sponsored stories, I think you should publish them provided the stories are identified as "sponsored" (much like sponsored goole search results). Aside from the money (which is great!) they can also spark our much needed socio-political discourse (which invariably leads to more money!).

#businessminded

Julz Cakes said...

I'll normally advice you to ignore political ads to avoid bias and hatred and also to avoid them trying to use you in d future coz u can't trust politicians.But since I know u (at least by following your blog daily for over two years),I know you are really not d diplomatic/objective type.You are more interested in your money/business so I suggest you collect but make sure its from both parties so it doesn't seem one sided.Try as much as possible to not let your readers suspect which party you are supporting.Be careful with your write ups coz after feb elections,those politicians won't send u much but we your ardent followers will still be der so try not to sow hatred or anger in us by being neutral. Let it just be clear that you are doing it for your biz.I'll also suggest you screen comments on such posts and avoid posting sensitive comments coz politics can just be dangerous. Am not tempted by the monday giveaway thingy coz av never won sef and its not compulsory.Its just as d spirit leads you.So feel free biko,collect your money and do ur biz,no1 has the right to call you corrupt coz its clearly business and you shouldn't limit yourself but I repeat once more be careful how you write your opinions about such ads.

Unknown said...

Take it

Unknown said...

candid advise, run ads from all parties biko as long as dey ve the money. but dont run dem at the same time, let stories separate the poltical ads. and it should not be too much so you dont lose the purpose of the blog

Unknown said...

Please go ahead and do it Linda ...may God continue to bless you.

okoye izuchukwu said...

Yes you can dear,what matters is ur money and after all u are just doing ur job and not like u are supporting any party at all. Just do ur thing sweetheart.

ChincoBee said...

Wo linda am sure you know what to do but incase you dont,you take from both or better still take from only one!!!!And leave the other

All I know is that we know the people we wanna vote for so it's not by party but individual.If dem like make dem carry their advert go CNN na dem sabi....

Continue playing politics with us ooo ontop this giveaway!!!!!

Linda, it's your choice whether you want these ads or not. You blog for business, that's where your daily bread comes from.

The other option is to take ads but stay on the fence, no comment from you about this parties at all.

You also have the option to just take ads from the party you are convinced will do Nigeria good. This is will surely cause wahala amongs your readers.

Run the adverts and let people make their minds up. But you should run the ones you agree with their policies so that your conscience is clear. Daily mail UK is a conservative paper so they are inclined to that. So if u r PDP or APC or Fresh party inclined well run their ads and deal with your conscience. But get paid.

Methinks said...

Dear Linda,

Thank you for the sincerity of this post. It is worthy of applause. In my opinion, this same sincerity is what has kept you relevant and will keep you relevant in years to come. The truth is that once you take the offer to run political ads, you lose the right to be objective and to report objectively. If you attempt to do so, the people who paid you may even threaten you. The amount they are offering now may seem too fantastic to miss, but in the long term, it will hurt your brand, your business and your soul. As Steve Harvey said, when you get in the butt kissing business you can never win, because no matter how much you kiss it, it will never be good enough...

My opinion may just be a drop in the ocean of advice that you will hear, but on this subject, I commit to praying for you. May the Lord lead you, and keep you.

Sincerely,

Tunde Ogun said...

Dear Linda,
You can run their advert but with all sincerity without bias and you must not been seen to lean to one side or the other. Neutrality should be your watch word.

Linda its really a dilemma.But i think you should take it.This blogging is business too.Its not like you're restrict your acceptance to only one political PDP.So its cool.All i can say it you should be conscious of the messages this campaign ads come with.Any add that comes with insults and foul language shouldnt be accepted by u.#My+pinion

Goodmorning Linda,you are in a very tough position seriously.In terms of money,the offer is a good business but from the political aspect,in my own opinion,the ads tends to show the party you favour and that can be trouble waiting to happen.The decision is tricky.

It's your job Linda and they're paying for it. You have to be decent about it. It must be in your terms. At least people will have real platform to read the truth and not the monetary gain.

Pls Linda take it, don't be partial with it. Nairaland is running some ads now.
You are a businesswoman so take it. I'm solidly behind you.

Unknown said...

It is business u should....

Unknown said...

I think it is wise to firmly consider it with caution. As for me i don't trust these politicians, and i actually think it's not all about the money but security and good name.

I think u should take it and make sure the slot is spread across all the willing parties and not just one because of the lib. Readers. Let the money roll in jare.

I would say leave it alone its beyond your depth. Don't foget though you are a media outlet you are still a one man band. The othe outlets they are referring to are big companies. Politics is dirty business especially in Nigeria especially in the current climate. The interest in Nigerian politics is unprecedented. You don't want to make yourself a target for dipping your toes in murky waters. You're an individual so you are an easy target. Forget about the money you were rich without them and will be long after. Set out your principles and stick to it. Your remit shouldn't stretch into politics if it does be ready to take on the consequences. I pray God leads you to make the best decision. Melycherie@hotmail.com
