FAQ | MILE2HERALD (OMG! NEWS AND INFO)

MILE2HERALD is an associate of the LAGOS BOOKS CLUB. It started as a community newspaper and was operated briefly in the early 90’s just before Mason College came on stream.But it died a natural, albeit temporary death because there was no time to nurture it as we should have done

This MILE2HERALD blog will focus on disseminating news and opinions to readers ans followers of LAGOS BOOKS CLUB as it did during its first but brief existence. There might be preference for omg! news above all others, however.These may be posted through our own twists and short commentary/titles.

Its major aim is to cover most of the content of LAGOBOOKSCLUB.COM AND MILE2HERALD (http://lagosbooksclub.com/) which might go into oblivion soon because of that blog”s intractable comments and SEO issues.Just for record purposes LAGOSBOOKSCLUB.COM has an Alexa ranking of about 146,000 by middle December 2013 and almost 300 other sites are linked to it.But it also has other operational issues which are not in existence on other WordPress.com blogs such as http://lagosbooksclub.wordpress.com and http://edupedianigeria.wordpress.com.

LAGOSBOOKSCLUB.COM is hosted by Hostgator which gave us excellent back-up services to a great extent over the past 12 months.But we never really felt secure with the blog.We intend ,however, to decide early next month whether to continue with using and paying for its hosting under new goals and objectives.

The write-up below serves as a reminder of what we are about and its re-blogged from http://lagosbooksclub.wordpress.com.Welcome to our new world!

1. INTRODUCTION OF LAGOS BOOKS CLUB (LBC):

Since 1994, LBC was known as CELIA’S…but as it grew providing reading services to more students and parents it changed its name to BOOKENDS. It is a departmental venture under EDUPEDIA ASSOCIATES.

2. ONE OF THE LARGEST PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OF NOVELS IN THE COUNTRY:

With over 7000 multimedia assets (BOOKS/DVDS/CDS/VHS/AUDIO CDS) we are probably one of the largest private media libraries in Lagos if not in the country…our genres cover entertainment, education, motivational/inspirational, health mind and body/spiritual/religion, fiction, nonfiction, science, nature, technology, business, investing, adventure, mystery, romance, crime, drama, comedy, thriller, historical, sports, children, cartoon and family…even there are autobiographies like Hitler’s MEIN KAMPF, dictionaries of SHAKESPEARE and of IDIOMS and UNUSUAL ENGLISH WORDS and PHRASE.For those wanting to win WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE there are books on MASTERMIND and similar PUZZLES. It is a collection of great titles and great authors for great minds and cultured souls…

3. EISH!!!.READING FOR PLEASURE WITHOUT PRESSURE!:

Our major objective is to encourage book-reading in Lagos particularly and Nigeria generally. No registration fees are involved. Simply rent, buy or swap your old books with ours! Read easy and return at leisure. No pressure, no due dates and no late fees. Unlimited collections subject to category chosen. Read as many authors as u desire at your pace and choosing! Plans are at bargain prices and there are great savings to be made! Effortless collection is our watchword as we deliver at and collect from your doorsteps-home or office! Above all you can pay monthly subscriptions by cash or by monthly debits.

4. BUT ARE WE JUST A BOOK CLUB?:

No, far from it!.We have spent about 30 yrs in school administration and EDUPEDIA definitely has other goals related to the main objectives of a book club. One of them is LAGOSBOOKSCLUB.WORDPRESS.COM which to the glory of God is the first web-based remedial school in Nigeria. For this both (LBC and EDUPEDIAWEB) have struck up a partnership at http://lagosbooksclub.wordpress.com. Many other write-ups on maths, study and examination techniques, motivational, life and leisure skills as well as staff improvement techniques shall be published for students, tutors, educational administrators, and parents!.We have a personal conviction that it needs be done.
