Wow!....this is very interesting, i so much love d way u took ur time to explain those things, especially d funny way u did it, i actually thought all scientist have lost their sense of humor or something.....

But i think i'm gonna have a rethink now

Nice one op

Teempakguy:
eh ehn?
Okay, don't worry. Just stick around and you'll find that scientists can crack ya rib with laughter.

Okay then....will be expecting more of this....I wish my sec.sch teacher had taught me like this

The speed of light unfortunately seems impossible to us now at least for now.. Remember the theory of relativity showed us how we cannot achieve the speed of light.

"The faster the speed of a body, the greater the mass and the energy² ... so if a body runs at the speed of light, the mass will run at infinite and so is the energy required...

So unless we or in fact you somehow pulls out an infinitely powerful and constant source of energy, always wake up every morning bearing in mind that E=MC² is biatch

I don't think ishilove is a mod anymore.

However, lala is, I think a political science student. They tend to think the solution to any country's problems can be solved by the government. A rather hasty generalization, I know. But it seems to apply here. The guy literally cannot stop himself from putting crime and political topics on the frontpage.

Einstein, I think, discovered that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. We've been insulting and blaming the government for decades. Nothing has changed. This clearly implies that the government is NOT the solution. And I stand by that statement. The solution is every other thing EXCEPT the government. Other things which, by the way, we haven't tried. Why? Because we're still waiting for the government.

I think, that a route to the solution lies in imbibing scientific culture. Most people don't understand what I'm talking about. For a few examples of scientific culture, I recommend quora.com science sections, cracked.com science sections, wired.com, and you will literally be shocked at how ridiculously primitive we are. The ease at which they swim in scientific oceans is mind blowing.

Minutephysics, veritasium, vsauce3, physicsgirl, just a few scientific channels on YouTube that are highly successful and mainstream.
Being exposed to this kind of culture will naturally influence every single person to contribute their own quota. Instead of the consumer and parastic culture we live in.
Some people even started building cars and some irreedemable crack heads decided they wouldn't patronize them because they were from a different tribe. They would rather patronize those that are from a different continent. what a joke.

It's readily obvious that the government in such an environment will actually trying to keep up with it's citizens. Unlike here where reverse is the case.

Oga johnydon22, sorry for using your thread to preach oh, no vex.
I just felt like letting off some steam.

Your analysis is spot on and I totally agree tha the government is obviously not the problem, it's the people.

Exactly bro, we keep deceiving ourselves by laying the blames on the government...

A Nigerian would complain and blame the government that the environment is at the same time is the person throwing dirt on the ground instead of a waste bin... Can someone deceive themselves anymore than that?

I've repeated the "A Nigerian would complain and blame the government that the environment is at the same time is the person throwing dirt on the ground instead of a waste bin... Can someone deceive themselves anymore than that?" phrase so much on nl that it's getting tiring.

Nairaland is a business. And they need traffic, Political topics gains much traffic, so the mods tends to move them to the Front page more than topics such as this one.

The people are the problem. The indisciplined and corrupt government came from the same lots on the streets. I've stopped blaming government for my woes for years. And I'm happier and more responsible for it.

Exactly. We need this sort of sense of responsibility replicated nationwide by every citizen. Whenever a problem arises don't ask god "why?", don't blame the devil, don't blame the government, don't blame your parents, don't blame your ancestors, blame YOURSELF!

Taking blame sparks a sense of responsibility which in turn opens the mind in search of solutions to the problem. The more solutions, in people, rise up there will definitely be a reduction in our problems.

one thing people fail to realize is that the government is actually the people. We live in a democracy. The government is part of us. Yet we treat them like the people who are supposed to make a difference for us. They are us. As an average Nigerian youth what is most important to him, he will answer that it's money, and that he will soon get it. Ask him the same question 20 years later and you are most likely to receive that same answer. Now, imagine if this person, becomes the president. Everyone will actually be expecting him to do something. But he can't. He's never actually thought of anyone else but himself. You can't expect him to change overnight. He has a consumer paradigm. He won't change that just because he is president.

Whatever the people do, the goverment will do it hundred fold. An average American spends his free time thinking of how to make sure his area the most badass around. Check out the government. An average Chinese likes making stuff. Check out the government. An average Nigerian is homophobic. Check_out_the _government. Fourteen years in jail.

Until I can be able to call an average Nigerian youth ask him what is most important to him, and he answers something like, "that street over there receives 20 hours of electricity per day, our street receives 18. I want to change that."
Or,
"My mum sells pounded yam for a living, i feel bad because she has too pound yam every morning, I want to make a simple device to help her pound the yam automatically."
Or even a simple
"People are suffering. I want to help them. I want to be remembered for this."

I will totally keep laughing at anti corruption agendas and rehabilitation schemes.
