The first step to starting your online business is to determine what need you wish to fulfill – what kind of goods or services you want to sell. If you do not already have an area of interest, then do a little research on the kinds of goods and services people are seeking out, and then model your business towards satisfying that need.

Know your target market

After you decide on what to sell, the next step is to determine your target market. Figure out the kind of people who need your products, the age range of your prospective clients, what are the kinds of things they will like, their locations, etc.

Top 5 Most Expensive Shoes In The World

Top 5 Most Expensive Shoes In The World | Fab.ng

In the past, people wore shoes only to protect their feet. Today, however, shoes can be very expensive and fashionable. Some famous designers make shoes from expensive fancy materials, like silk or even jewels! These shoes can cost millions of dollars.

Other expensive shoes might not be made from the most luxurious materials, but they are still very costly because they’re a popular brand or have a unique design.

Here are the top five most expensive shoes in the world:

An Italian designer named Antonio Vietri created a very special pair of shoes called the Moonstar Shoes. These shoes are incredibly expensive, costing a whopping $20 million! Imagine that!

They are high heels made entirely of solid gold, not just any regular heels, though. They also sparkle with 30 beautiful diamonds and have a small piece of a real meteorite from way back in 1576.

The shoes were first shown off at a fancy fashion event in Dubai called MIDE Fashion Week. Believe it or not, they were even delivered by helicopters.

Jada Dubai, a designer known for luxurious shoes, teamed up with Passion Jewellers to create something truly amazing: the Passion Diamond Shoes. These weren’t your everyday shoes.

Made with a combination of shiny gold, soft leather, and elegant silk, they took a whole nine months to craft by hand. But the wait was worth it! Each shoe sparkled with 236 diamonds. One of them even had a giant, super-clear 15-carat diamond near the toes.

Just like something out of a movie, these precious shoes were delivered in style—by helicopters!

Imagine getting a super expensive pair of shoes as a birthday gift. That’s what happened to one lucky person who received a creation by British designer Debbie Wingham. These shoes are actually the world’s third-most expensive pair of footwear.

They were custom-made for this special occasion, using precious stones that the client already owned. It took over 100 hours to carefully craft the shoes by hand.

The design is truly stunning; the base is made of platinum and features a gold plaque. The most eye-catching part is the front, which sparkles with beautiful diamonds. There are three large pink diamonds, each weighing 3 carats, and one blue diamond for contrast. Even the stitching is luxurious—made with threads of 18-carat gold! The finishing touch? The leather parts are painted with 24-carat gold paint, making these shoes shine from every angle.

On December 14, 2008, Iraqi journalist Muntadhar al-Zaidi threw his shoes at US former President George W. Bush. The shoes were later bought for $10 million, and a massive order of nearly 300,000 pairs of similar shoes was placed in a week.

The shoes were thrown at him, probably because many people blamed him for the war and destruction in Iraq.

To celebrate a special occasion, the famous jewellery company Harry Winston decided to create a special pair of shoes. Dorothy’s ruby slippers from the beloved movie “The Wizard of Oz” inspired the creation.

Instead of using sequins like the movie shoes, Harry Winston’s version sparkled with gemstones! They used a whopping 4,600 rubies, which together weighed 1,350 carats. That’s a lot of rubies! They even added 50 carats of diamonds for extra shine.

It took two whole months to carefully craft these amazing shoes. Because of all the gemstones and the time it took to make them, the shoes cost a staggering $3 million. This makes them the fifth-most expensive pair of shoes in the world.

Nigeria Ranks 5th In Global Cybercrime Index

Cybercrime Hotspots: Nigeria Ranks 5th | Fab.ng

Researchers from two universities—Oxford and UNSW Canberra—decided to find out where cybercrime hotspots are. To do this, they asked about 100 cybercrime experts around the world for their opinions.

The experts were asked to consider five main types of cybercrime:

  1. Creating tools used for cybercrime, like malware.
  2. Launching cyberattacks and demanding money to stop them.
  3. Stealing data or identities through hacking or phishing scams.
  4. Tricking people out of money online through scams like fake emails or online auctions.
  5. Making money from stolen information, like laundering money or using stolen credit cards.

Based on the experts’ input, the researchers will create a list of countries considered to be the biggest sources of cybercrime.

The study ranked countries based on how much cybercrime comes from them. This ranking is called the World Cybercrime Index, or WCI for short.

The study found that Russia is seen as the number one source of cybercrime in the world, followed by Ukraine, China, the United States, and Nigeria.

The study ranked Russia as the number one source of cybercrime in the world. Russia had the highest score (58.39) on the World Cybercrime Index (WCI), and researchers traced 81.34 cyberattacks back to Russia. The survey also showed that Russian cybercriminals are highly skilled (scoring 8.73 out of 10 on technical skills) and very professional, causing significant harm with their crimes.

Following Russia, the study ranked Ukraine as the second-largest source of cybercrime. Ukraine’s overall cybercrime score on the World Cybercrime Index (WCI) was 36.44. Researchers also linked 50.76 cyberattacks to Ukraine. Just like Russia, Ukrainian cybercriminals were rated as very skilled with a technical skill score of 8.24 on a scale of 1 to 10.

China was ranked third in the study as a source of cybercrime. Their overall score on the World Cybercrime Index (WCI) was 27.86. Researchers linked 24.24 cyberattacks to China. Chinese hackers were rated as skilled with a technical skill score of 7.81 on a scale of 1 to 10.

The United States came in fourth place on the list of cybercrime hotspots. The World Cybercrime Index (WCI) score for the US was 25.01. Researchers connected 17.68 cyberattacks to the US. American hackers were rated as skilled with a technical skill score of 7.21 on a scale of 1 to 10.

While the study found Russia to be the overall leader in cybercrime, Nigeria was singled out for a different reason – scams. Here’s a breakdown:

  • Overall cybercrime: Nigeria ranked fifth on the World Cybercrime Index (WCI) with a score of 21.28. Researchers linked 8.41 cyberattacks to Nigeria, and Nigerian hackers were rated as somewhat skilled with a technical ability score of 5.80 on a scale of 1 to 10.
  • Scams: Interestingly, Nigeria topped the list for scam-related cybercrime. The country received a much higher WCI score of 52.17 for scams, with a whopping 70 nominations for this type of cybercrime. The closest competitor, the US, only had 27 nominations and a WCI score of 22.72 for scams. This shows that while Nigerian cybercriminals may be less technically skilled overall, they are much more active in scams compared to other countries on the list.

Brymo Queries Tiwa Savage Over “Men Are Crazy” Song With Simi

Brymo Queries Tiwa Savage Over "Men Are Crazy" Song | Fab.ng

Singer Brymo sparked a debate online after leaving a comment on the latest Instagram post by Tiwa Savage. Tiwa had shared a glamorous photo with the flirty caption, “You’re in my head, Papi.” However, Brymo shifted the focus by commenting on her recent collaboration with Simi, “Men Are Crazy.”

Brymo took issue with the song’s title and lyrics, specifically the line “Men Are Crazy.” He argued that male musicians rarely write songs generalising women in such a way. Brymo’s comment questioned Tiwa’s motivations behind the song’s theme and lyrics. This sparked discussion and debate among fans about the portrayal of gender in music.

He commented, “Hey @tiwasavage. I’d like to know the thoughts behind the … “men are c***y” line…. because it’s the one crazy” thing boys say most in private spaces about your gender, and none of us ever made a song exclusively about how deranged y’all are… Yet you did with Simi, and you are the first of both that I am seeing post from since then… So I ask; did you play reverse psychology on us and make the song a projection? and gaslighting the shit out of me by that??? …. or have real reasons to say so?? and if it be the latter, expand it for me, please!!”

Tiwa Savage and Simi haven’t responded to the comment Brymo left so far.

This all comes just after they released their new song together, “Men Are Crazy,” on April 5, 2024. It’s the first time these two popular singers have collaborated on a song.
