There's a guy making €380k/yr cloning successful English offers, translating them, and selling them in Germany with zero competition
He doesn't create products
He doesn't build audiences
He just finds what's already working in English and copies it to markets where it doesn't exist yet
And it's printing
Here's how it works:
Step 1: Find proven English offers doing $50k+/month
Trading courses, fitness programs, business communities, anything with traction
Browse through top-performing communities and see what's crushing
Step 2: Join them, screenshot everything, map the entire structure
Course modules, sales copy, funnel flow, upsell sequence, community setup, pricing tiers
Document the entire system like you're reverse engineering a blueprint
Step 3: Translate it all to German (or French, Spanish, Polish, Arabic)
Not Google Translate - use ChatGPT to translate it and then get someone from the country to check if it is written correctly and naturally
Step 4: Launch it as your own product in that market
Set up the exact same structure, same pricing model, same delivery system
Just in a different language where nobody else is doing it
Step 5: Deploy faceless content in that language to drive traffic
TikTok slideshows, automated posting, exactly like the original but in German
Use the Eyeballs Method - mass distribution with posters running 400+ posts daily
The results are insane:
Original English offer: $97, converts at 2% (oversaturated market)
His German version: €97, converts at 6% (zero competition)
Same product, 3x conversion rate, because he's the only one there
Here's what nobody understands:
Every successful English offer has already proven the market exists
Someone spent $100k on ads testing if people want "AI automation for agencies"
They proved it works
You just take that validated proof and deploy it in Germany where nobody's doing it yet
The markets he's crushing:
- Germany: 83M people, almost zero English info products translated properly
- France: 67M people, French audiences hate English content
- Spain: 47M people, everyone assumes they need to create in English
- Poland: 38M people, literally untapped
- Saudi Arabia: Arabic info market is wide open with high purchasing power
His current setup:
12 translated offers across 4 languages
Each doing €8k-25k/month
Total: €380k/year
Zero product creation
Zero English competition
Pure arbitrage
The best part?
He's not even the face of most offers
He partners with native speakers to be the "expert" (70/30 split in his favor)
They handle calls and content, he handles infrastructure and keeps the majority
The offers he's cloned:
"AI SaaS Academy" (English) → "KI SaaS Akademie" (German) - €18k/month
"Dropshipping Mastery" (English) → "Dropshipping Meisterklasse" (German) - €22k/month
"Twitter Growth System" (English) → "X Wachstum System" (German) - €12k/month
"Fitness Transformation" (English) → "Fitness Transformation" (French) - €15k/month
Same funnels, same upsells, same everything
Just different language
Most English creators don't do this because:
They think translation is hard (it's not, use ChatGPT and a native)
They think they need to "understand" the market (you don't, proven offers already validated demand)
They're attached to their personal brand (cloning works better faceless)
They don't realize non-English markets are 5 years behind English trends
While everyone fights in English, this guy owns entire countries
The opportunity:
Find any successful English offer doing $30k+/month
Translate the entire thing to German, French, or Spanish
Launch in 2 weeks using the same infrastructure
Deploy the Eyeballs Method in that language (faceless slideshows at scale)
You just unlocked a €15k/month income stream with zero original work
Stop trying to innovate when you can arbitrage
DIVISION VS REGIONAL GOVERNMENT – MY PERSPECTIVE
In adequately engaging such an intellectually sensitive debate, and to ensure scholastic justice, the first rule to strictly adhere to is “REMOVING ABSOLUTES.”
Except for mathematical or scientific conversations, there can be no definite conclusion to academic theories such as this. Therefore, in my piece, there shall be no conclusive assertions such as “Nigeria can never divide.” No Sir, it can.
Nor shall there be bold proclamations that “Nigeria must definitely separate.” No Sir, it mustn't.
Along this intellectually fortified firmament, such extremes are accommodated but never enforced - like two opposing philosophers, each armed with reasons sharper than the other’s quill. You may stand your ground - and rightly so; and the man on the opposite side may stand his ground - and rightly so. In this arena of ideas, contradiction is not a crime; it is the oxygen of inquiry.
My goal here is to objectively examine the options and weigh the arguments on all sides in the illuminating light of historic backgrounds, present realities, and comparative shades drawn from global experience.
Shall I Begin?
SHOULD NIGERIA DIVIDE?
The Arguments:
I was on PBAT Media Space some days ago, and I stated that my approach to political arguments is often to compare our realities with similar events elsewhere. That principle will also apply here.
Has there been any country where different units or groups - either yoked together by natural forces or fused by colonial penmanship - eventually separated and became independent entities?
The answer is simply YES. You won’t win a prize for getting that answer right.
What truly matters is how they separated, why they separated, what held them together, and how long they stayed in that forced or voluntary marriage before choosing a different destiny.
History provides a sprawling canvas for this comparative interrogation.
1. INDIA – PAKISTAN – BANGLADESH
One Nation for ~190 years (1757–1947), until Pakistan was carved out of India.
Just 24 years after (1971), Bangladesh also broke away from Pakistan like a younger sibling tired of a domineering elder.
Reasons for the Division:
Religious mistrust between Hindu-majority India and Muslim-majority Pakistan.
Further fragmentation when East Pakistan felt politically suffocated by West Pakistan, leading to Bangladesh’s fiery independence.
A union divided by religion, then by politics, then by a choking sense of injustice.
2. SUDAN – SOUTH SUDAN
One Nation for ~118 years (1899–2011), before South Sudan finally walked away from a marriage that had become unbearable.
Reasons for Separation:
Heavy cultural, racial, ethnic, and religious divides - a country split between Arab-Muslim North and Black African-Christian/animist South.
Economic marginalization, especially around oil-rich regions.
Endless civil wars that drained national hope.
Breakdown of trust in the very idea of “One Sudan.”
The split was sealed through an internationally supervised referendum - a peaceful signature on decades of bloody chapters.
3. YUGOSLAVIA – 7 STATES
(Slovenia, Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, North Macedonia, Kosovo)
One Nation for 73 years (1918–1991).
Reasons for Division:
Ethnic diversity forcibly glued together by Tito’s socialist charisma.
The death of Tito removed the only adhesive holding the federation.
Rising nationalisms: Serbs dreaming of Serbs, Croats of Croats, Bosniaks of Bosniaks.
Economic disparities fueling resentment.
Once the strongman left and communism collapsed, the federation dissolved like ice left in the Balkan sun.
4. THE SOVIET UNION (USSR) – 15 STATES
One Nation for 69 years (1922–1991), though some regions had been under Russia for centuries - but as an empire, not as equals.
Reasons for Division:
The ideological meltdown of communism.
Ethnic identities suppressed for decades resurfacing with volcanic force.
Economic stagnation and

The mistake you make is thinking that they actually care about outcomes and living a good life. They do not. The whole "politics" thing to them is Barcelona vs Arsenal. They do not regret 2023 in the slightest because all they know is that they "won." The concept of political victory to them is exactly as abtract as the concept of victory in a European football match. They cannot connect political decisions to their life outcomes and they are not interested in learning how to do so.
For a country filled with such people to progress, a ruthless dictator must seize power and prevent the majority of the population from making political decisions. They are not qualified to make these decisions and the more they "vote", the more they further entrench all of us in poverty.
The only productive use for these people is to place them in re-education camps like the Soviets and Chinese did to their morons, and use them as industrial cannon fodder to speed up the country's development. They should be digging gutters, pouring concrete, and harvesting onions at gunpoint while singing specially composed patriotic work songs.
Everyone tells you to learn Linux before DevOps, but no one tells you what specific parts of Linux to focus on.
👉From my earlier experience, I know that Linux is an ocean with too many things to learn.
✅ Linux topics to learn before other DevOps tools:
🔺 Process Management: Check running processes, their CPU and memory utilization using commands like ps, top, htop, and kill. View process hierarchy with pstree to understand parent-child relationships
🔺Networking: Master commands to check network interfaces (ifconfig, ip), firewall configuration (iptables, ufw), used ports (netstat, ss), and general connectivity (ping, traceroute, dig)
🔺File Structure Manipulation: Get comfortable with file/directory creation, copying/moving data, navigating directory trees, and understanding absolute vs. relative paths (mkdir, cp, mv, cd, pwd)
🔺File Permissions & Ownership: Learn to manage who can read, write, or execute files using chmod, chown, and chgrp. Understand numeric and symbolic permission notation (755, u+x)
🔺File System Usage: Learn commands like df (disk free space), du (disk usage), and related tools to monitor storage
🔺Search & Filter: Practice finding files with various parameters (find), searching patterns in files (grep, sed), and filtering data outputs (cut, awk, sort)
🔺Package Management: Understand how to install/uninstall packages using package managers like apt, yum, or dnf
🔺System Configuration: Learn about system information commands, startup scripts, profile files (.bashrc, .profile), and how to create useful aliases
🔺System Monitoring: Master commands to check system load (uptime), CPU and memory usage (free, vmstat, sar), and swap utilization (swapon --show)
🔺Service Management: Get familiar with both systemctl commands (systemctl start/stop/restart/status) and legacy service commands for managing system services
🔺SSH Configuration: Learn to set up secure remote connections, configure SSH keys, and customize settings in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
🔺Basic Shell Scripting: Learn how to automate routine tasks with bash scripts, including variables, loops, conditionals, and functions
🔺System Information: Use commands like uname to get kernel information, architecture details, and other system specifics
Remember, you'll always pick up additional Linux skills while working in DevOps.
Semester project 2 is finally done! Deployed a SIEM solution, integrated it with Sophos, and can now collect, analyze, and report security events. 3 SIEM solutions later, Wazuh came through!
