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*

Linda! Linda!! Linda!!! How many times did i call you?? If you reject any of offer na God go judge you. If you were a new blogger am certain you won't ask this question. The highest bidder takes the day oooo

Linda will running the ads put u in harms way? If yes, please don't . God is blessing u without them already. However if not, pls collect and share with us oo. Me I wan start business and no get money start so u can sow into my life.

Other bloggers probably do because of the money, not caring about the rot these people have created in the country. As long as you pay, even if you loot or kill, they promote.

Your platform influences a lot of young people who do necessarily know nothing about politics. So of you promote XXX for example, guaranteed that party will get a massive following.

Politics in Nigeria is about popularity not integrity so as long as you are popular; and have cool people on your side then it's fine.

So I really don't think you should but it's your choice.

Linda, this is business, you are not openly showing who you are supporting or against. Its purely business..but still, you do have the guidelines that describes your Job description here. If its not part of what you had in mind before you started this blog, then don't, if you do, then go ahead....Let God in heaven lead you.

Sometimes, its not about the money. As a reputable media company, it would be best to maintain politcal neutrality. Cnn does not run pol ads, channels do not run pol ads, only hungry media firms run pol ads and youre far from hungry.

Take the 2 offers period!. APC or PDP won't do sheet for you when they are in power and you need them tomorrow for something. Stay strictly on business and don't attach any feelings. But in the real sense i'll go for APC cos PDP just promotes CORRUPTION.

JohnCrown said...

Now Linda, listen to me and listen carefully, I have been ardent reader of your blog for the past three years, (although I decided to participate last year as anonymous but you wouldn't post my comments until this year).
My point exactly? I don't give a damn which ads you take. I want to see or better still hear you grow into your dream, make your money so long it is legal, but only be careful what is written in there, so that your readers won't think you support a political party. Work for anyone who is ready to pay your bill and be a friend and foe to them all. Take no political party personal. Make your money and move on to another. I love u more gal. #Chai!Love?ifmywifecatchme!#

Anonymous said...

There is nothing wrong about running political adverts on your blog but the only thing is that you must provide a level playing field for all political parties. Meaning you can't yes to one political party and no to another. Furthermore, no more personal opinions from you about the chances of the parties in the forthcoming elections.

Anonymous said...

It's your job please. No sentiments. Collect the adverts and get paid for it.

Unknown said...

You should but please let it be balance AD not there regular insult to each other's. As of trying to get the support of libers with the promise of more giveaway is lame.

DON'T accept political ads, Nigeria is not going to be like this forever, reasonable change and total turn around is around the corner - Nigeria of next decade will never be like the present one and that is going to count for u. u ve been fine without political ads so why should u b bother about that now?

U gotta be careful in dealing with this. It could Mar u If not properly handled. cos your blog readers may have d impression that u ve aligned your blog to a political party. but if u must, run ads for any political party that comes along, that way u'd b neutral n ur readers would know it's strictly for business.

Bini said...

Something tells me you've made up your mind already, but be careful. This is probably one of the most powerful distribution channels in urban media today. Even greater than some traditional media. It's a very tricky position. And know that this decision would make you automatically active in politics, which is not a bad thing at all.

Anonymous said...

I don't see why not, provided u don't overdo it. LIB has what its known for, don't let politics dilute it. Good thing is that in a month, it would be over.
my advice, don't let anyone cast aspersion on another. Make your point, sway your voters.
Don't contribute a word or a letter. Let it be posted as it was sent. Not even your usual emoticoe or funny remarks
try to balance the two. Don't make it seem like a platform for this group or that group.
if in all you don't still feel u can maintain neutrality, please shelve the idea.

Linda O. PEACE said...

Linda I would suggest NO. Reason been that you may offend so of your audience. Secondly you may become enemies of some political parties who lose out and your blog may later be a target of destruction. You are popular though, but the temporary money may choke you in a long run. Politics is very sensitive in this country as people are ready to kill themselves and remain enemies with opposing party over a long time . LOl!

Dear Linda,

If you had any doubt in your mind,then it means it isn't something you want to do.telling us that it will increase Monday giveaways was disappointing to read.I have never contested to win anything here,don't stain yourself with this people.saying so everyone can "chop" is equally disappointing.when we are all done "chopping",what would our kids have left.

My dear Linda,In a short while,all this will be over and while your account balance might have increased greatly,what about your conscience.

Live things as they are.The LORD will plug whatever it is you assume you'd lose in terms of income from this people.

God bless

Maybe to be on the safe side you can tag them as adverts.

morayo said...

Hi Linda, I think you should just stay away as politics & intentions in Nigeria is still not clear and since its supposed to be a democratic system, I think you should let people make their choices. Accepting campaign etc can either be a plus or minus but am sure you ll like to avoid/flee from the minus.

I appreciate the giveaways but lets not do it based on earnings from politics etc. God has sustained you; he ll never let you lack.

Stay blessed. ..

My dear sister, I love you and what you have achieved over the years. I believe most reasonable LIB readers too will concur to this, I suggest that you leave it alone. Maintain the LIB Monday giveaway you have been doing and don't add extra bcos you want extra. Be neutral and stand for what you believe in. We sincerely don't want politicians money. They can't buy our conscience. Linda opt to stand out, defeat the urge/temptations of these people. GOD bless you as you do so.

TBOY said...

My own opinion since its your work, you dont have to support one, just do your work and put up both adverts or thats not possible? Tboy.

Take it babes! As quickly as possible. Wat do u stand to loose?I also work with a media house and we take monies for advertorials.dat doesn't mean u are supporting a particular party.wat u shud stay away is insultive ads.All d best

Anonymous said...

Make your money sister. But make sure you advertise both parties so it wont appear like ur choosing sides, rmba one must win. If your consiceince is hunting you then donate the money to boko haram victims and send them relief materials, but dnt let that cash go sha

Linda you are a Nigerian and this is a fight and struggle for us all. Pick any party that u support from your heart and run a campaign for that party. If truly u want change like we all do u have to put business aside and fight for your nation. Forget about running a campaign for both parties, u as linda ikeji u have follower thousands of youth following u and what ever u say including me. So pick one party and run a campaign for that party, yeah I know it's business but as true nigerians let us all fight to bring change so forget how much they are offering you and fight for change in any way that u can. Thanks

Run the ads, we Nigerians know who is lying and who is speaking the truth.

But give each party equal opportunity.

Anonymous said...

Linda, it is a matter of principle, if you thinking you will able to cope with the consequences, fine, go ahead, because Nigeria political scene can be mess more than you think, I believe integrity is better than money. But if you are to do it, define your ads contract with them that you will not play a partisan roles. I wish you the best!.

Unknown said...

Dear linda I will say yes so far u are doing it for both parties I will encourage you to go ahead cos if u dont dat dosent mean the God choosing will not win so do it and collect your cash my dear sister. Forget the giveaway stuff jare this one nah serious matter.

Unknown said...

Please don't leave it alone o, it is your own part of the national water melon. Also, I in particular need to win some cash here like seriously.

Mzz_Mary said...

Leave it

oliverobinna said...

Linda please don't even waste time collect the money and run the advert sharpenly.. but make sure you don't do only one party or post any before the other. Do more than one party and post the advert simultaneously so people won't say you belong to a particular political party. After all NTA dey run PDP and APC adverts.

Unknown said...

I don't see anything illegal in doing your job. You are absolutely right in taking ads from any party the world over. And moreover are you forming that huge amount of money scares you?...lolest! Grab the cheddars joor.

Anonymous said...

This is the problem I have with Nigerians.Imagine that statement"so that we will chop inside".U have a right to support any person u believe in.And because u do believe in that candidate,u should def be able to run the ad for free.yes for free!when the opposition approaches you,then u inform them u have a candidate u are supporting. But of course u already know what u will do as this is another post to increase blog traffic. BTW,which kain more money to go round?u give just about ten people out of the thousands to comment here and how is that touching life?just about 1% of ur blog visitors. if u want to help,set up a training forum and bring in job adverts regularly for your blog visitors. Thatz how to permanently touch lives linda!#likita#

The Perfect Bitch said...

Ohhh dis girl!!!just say u want to collect money and get another SUV instead of including lib give away Mondays Biko..broken record kinda sound

Theater of Dreams said...

Go ahead... and collect.

Anonymous said...

I feel you can do it anyways BUT don't post any ad that speaks bad about someone in particular like APC speaking against GEJ, that would get you into drama you don't want. As for the money being offered at you, well this is a good opportunity to make some but be very careful with politicians

Unknown said...

And please publish my post

Mab said...

i think u shld run the ads

Unknown said...

Dear Linda, pls maintain your political neutrality, let your reputation remain intact, money is not everything, you may end up losing alot despite the money you intend to gain from such publicity. Don't attract negativity to your blog page.

OLAMZ said...

Ma honest opinion.... Be politically neutral.... Yea its true media outfits accept political adverts... problem is, politicians have a ways of making ppl be in a state of unrest ones they pay for u to do something... 'he who pays the piper...' you know the rest.... i also got mad money on political adverts on ma blog but when their wahala became too much for me to handle, had to refund them. they would make you do alot of things against your will simply because they paid you. they feel they own you when that happens. however if you feel you need they money, nothing concern mi... just ensure you report political news justly without prejudice.

GALORE said...

Take it...it is part of your brand.... So far the advert is not bringing down another party

Give them ur terms and condition
And make then understand that, u are just doing ur business and u don't have interest what so ever in any political party

Dear Linda,
You're a blogger. ...more like a tv channel. You're objective. So I'd say you should take any political ads put forward to you. At least it's not for free...lol

Abeg, collect!
Just use your judgement to select which ones you will run.
Be fair.
Let people know it is a paid advert and does not reflect your views whatsoever.
Do not disparage one party or be partisan.
Look at their messages, if they want to advertise their manifesto, a strategic plan conveying their intent for the country and so on, then accept.
But if it's unverifiable claims about achievements, vilification of one party or the other, inciting comments etc., don't accept.
Just use your discretion.
