More blessings sir

SangoOlukosoOba:
The Chinese are very smart! They have studied Africans and are buying into our lapses. Those guys are going to recolonize Africans with debt.


A time will come when we will be so hooked to them and will have nowhere to run to.

Free loans with mad terms! China will give you loan, and still execute projects with same loan, with its own Chinese company.

Let’s be truthful, Africans are dumb!

Africans are not dumb. It's the politicians in Africa that are greedy to collect those loans. Just see the way Rotimii Amaechi was bragging about the Chinese railway loan when convincing Buhari.

They hardly care about the future of Africa.

It's sympathetic

How many of these Chinese railways are totally in use now

Sadly this beautiful thread has been derailed

Do u advise a banker earning 1m per month to travel out abroad?

Timoleon:
Sad sad end.

Too many people are just one more frustrating event away from a total mental breakdown.

If you are currently going through hard times please stay hopeful. With the right level optimism and a steady grinding and hustling, you’ll breakthrough. Yes, you can see your mates and sometimes younger ones doing better, know this and know peace; there are many people who had their breakthroughs in their forties and fifties.

Get up, go out. If you have to do menial jobs, do it. You’ll earn money to feed and sort some bills. People wey you dey fear say dem go judge you no care as you dey hunger and frustrate so why care about them as you dey hustle to push yourself in life.

Stay strong brother, stay positive sister. This shall pass. Believe and push harder, it surely will.

Thanks for this motivation. God bless you.

Congratulations to England and Manchester city

This is a very good thing.... I m a yoruba man and I am very proud of this great igbo guy for representing our African culture.
God bless Chinua Achebe and Prof Wole soyinka. Their works are legendary

Kudos to Peter Edochie for acting things fall apart very well. That was my first movie of hearing

Malami is complicit. His aim is to collude with the other party and get his share.

You just typed the wrong thing above.
Prof Wole Soyinka is the best.
Achebe focused majorly only on books/novel while Nobel laurel PROF Wole Soyinka focused on everything about literature- poems, script writing,plays, poetry, novels, essay, research, introduction of new words in the English dictionary and world encyclopedia. He is the best playwright in the world till date.
Cyprain Ekwensi and Elechi Amadi are even better than Achebe. If you doubt me go and read Elechi Amadi’s The concubine and compare it with any of Achebe’s books. Only Things fall apart came close.

Prof Soyinka wrote many books than all of them which includes
The trials of brother Jero.
Ibadan: The penkelemes.
The lion and the jewel.
The interpreters….written in 1965.
Ake.
Death and the king’s horseman
The man died: prison notes from Wole Soyinka.
The road.
Idanre and other poems.
Mandela’s earth and other poems
Ogun Abibímàn.
Madmen and his specialists.
Chronicles from the land of the happiest people.
You must set forth at dawn.
Of Africa
King Baabu
Collected plays by Soyinka.
Season of anomy. Written from prison.
The open sore of a continent.
Samarkand and other markets.
The strong breed.
Selected poems.
Child internationale
Climate of fear
The credo of being and nothingness.
Cam wood on the leaves.
From Zia with love.
The swamp dwellers
Alàpàta Apáta.
The beautification of the area boy.
Forest of a thousand daemons: A Hunter's Saga · Yoruba title: Ògbójú ọdẹ nínu igbó irúnmọlẹ Written by D.O Fagunwa translated by Wole Soyinka.
The Burden of Memory, the Muse of Forgiveness.
Art, dialogue and outrage.

And so many more books were written by him.

His books were used to set literature in English exam questions even in Cambridge A and O levels exams

He covers all aspects of literature unlike Achebe.
He is just the best.
Obidients and Charly boy has forgotten so soon that this great Yoruba man- prof Soyinka fought for Igbos: He wrote a good deal of Poems from Prison while he was jailed in 1967–69 for speaking out against the war brought on by the attempted secession of Biafra from Nigeria. The Man Died (1972) is his prose account of his arrest and 22-month imprisonment by Gowon for fighting for igbos.

He deserves more accolades and respect. An 88 years old still vibrant and healthy. A great mentor, erudite scholar and philanthropist


We don’t even have any Nobel prize winner in Nigeria except him till date.

Kudos to Professor Wole Soyinka who looks more responsible than Charly boy . I want my son to be like prof Wole Soyinka not like charly boy
An hero of south west
The only Nobel laureate in Nigeria. He was regarded today by the world as the best in literature
A living legend
God bless you sir

Like if you want your son or future son to be like Prof Wole Soyinka
Share if you want your son to be like Charly boy who was once denounced by his father

nedekid:
Last I checked, Charly boy is over 70 and neither did he address Soyinka as a fool.
Yeah, it is easy for you to address people greater than you as fools or say they are stupid. Obviously, if they are as you say, it means you are the opposite right? You are smart and wise abi?
Anyway as I always say, Nigerians have "mouth". Only in Nigeria will you see a poor man trekking pass a mansion and then say the owner does not have taste, that if the owner had consulted him, he could have adviced him on a better design. Only in Nigeria will you see millionaires discussing business, a job seeker will put mouth to advice them on how to make money.
You that only recently applied for a job as a customercare staff in a mushroom company on the outskirts of Lagos is the same person addressing people obviously more than you as "fools" and "stupid". You really have mouth.

Professor Wole Soyinka is the best

MikeofAfrica:
William Shakespeare wrote the most complicated novels in human history. Only sound students of literature understood the shakespeare's English.

Yet his books recorded a huge success in the world literally market. I was a Science student but I could remember reading Shakespeare's novels while in secondary school. I was later introduced to the edited version of his " Lamp tales from Shakespeare " which was easier to understand.

Hence the excuse that you are giving for the flop of Soyinka's books in the literally market does not hold water. If any of Soyinka books is a masterclass like Things fall Apart, it will be a hotcake in the literally market like Shakespeare books.

Soyinka is a good author but when it comes to natural talent in writing and literature, he is no where near Achebe. What Soyinka has going for him is a more expose knowledge of literature.

This is understandable since Achebe was a medical student before moving into literature. Hence Literature was not his first choice of carrier yet he became the greatest writer in the African continent.

Comparing Achebe and Soyinka is like comparing Okocha and Mikel Obi. Okocha is a more talented midfielder than Mikel but Mikel was more expose than Okocha. Hence Mikel won trophies that Okocha never won.

However even with those trophies, we all know that Okocha is better than Mikel. Similarly, even with the Nobel prize, we all know that Achebe is better than Soyinka.

Falz just destroyed the good name of his father
Falz is a huge disappointment
Sanwo OLU won free and fair by a wide margin
Pls go and concentrate on your declining music career and stop behaving like an enemy of real Omo Odua

Gbadebo failed woefully for calling us Afon jà and not being able to speak Yoruba at all

BeardedmeatR:
Everyone already knows Awolowo committed suicide.

You don't have the energy to take what you give, then step out and stay out.

At 78 Awo has tried
Nairaland is the best
I m proudly a Nairalander since 2007

Tinubu for president
Sanwo OLU for governor

Lagos belongs to Yoru ba
Omo odua

We yo ru bas that voted Obi are regretting it by now

U gave the accolades to yourself
Obi can not get 25% votes in any south west and north central again

He can only be a president of south east

Our eyes don open

This Lagos state election is to show you that Awolowo built Lagos with cocoa money generated from all Ogun Oyo Ondo Osun.
Those Sw that voted Obi won’t try such again
Obi will lose massively if he comes out again
How can u tell us Lagos where I come from is no man’s land.
You just dashed Sanwo OLU second time
He even performed well. No wonder Hausa Christians in southern kaduna refused to vote for Obi
Datti even lost his local govt.
Sanwo OLU for governor

Laziness
Too much sick leave
Picking and returning calls
Gossiping about boss negative attitude
Not being loyal
Over sabi
Pride

Stop telling lies. Yahaya Bello is a good example

My First 100 Days
As Governor of Lagos

I have a vision for a new Lagos
Here is my action plan for the first 100 Days in office.

1.0
Increase Minimum Wage to N60,000 on Day 1 in Office, the salary of Civil Servants will be increased by 100% to N60,000 monthly. The target is to reach N100,000 as soon as possible. This will cover everybody including street sweepers.

2.0
Moral suasion to persuade the Organised Private Sector to follow Govt's lead by stopping casualisation and also increase their minimum wage to a living wage. Banks, telcos, oil companies, multinationals, large national corporates, etc will be incentivised with PAYE tax credits to stop casualisation and index their minimum wage to their capacity to pay rather than current market wage rates which are suppressed by high unemployment. A first step for a Lagos where every worker has health care, pensions and similar benefits.

3.0
Cancel Alpha Beta's Contract which costs the State N5bn monthly.

4.0
Use the savings from the cancellation of Alpha Beta contract to set up a grand Loan Scheme for Micro, Small and Medium Scale Enterprises. Ensure at least 10,000 beneficiaries in the first 100 Days. We expect the scheme to benefit up to 1m beneficiaries in 4 years.

5.0
Establish a portal for publishing costs of all government projects and compare them to World Bank standards to eliminate waste and corruption.

6.0
Issue a 10-year order for 10,000 vehicles to an auto manufacturer that commits to building an auto assembly in Lagos with a credible plan to achieve 50% value added within 5 years.

7.0
Pull down all toll gates in the Lekki Ajah axis and Ikoyi link bridge.

8.0
Build a monument in memory of our slain sons and daughters at the old Lekki Toll Gate.

9.0
Advertise for the employment of 10,000 teachers with outstanding grades (First Class and Second Upper or Upper Credit) to start a process of repositioning teaching as a middle-class career.

10.0
Execute a Memorandum of Understanding with all Road Transport Unions for the implementation of a rehabilitation and retraining program, and take Agberos off our roads.

11.0
Invite bids for the design and construction of 100 km of rail across Lagos.

12.0
Host an education summit with all stakeholders to get buy-in into GRV's plan for partnerships to upscale public schools to the standards of the best private school.

13.0
Host a health summit with all stakeholders to get buy-in for partnerships to upscale services at Primary Health Centres to best-in-class, laying the foundation for an effective referral system.

14.0
A summit for various artisan associations such as bricklayers, plumbers, mechanics, welders, carpenters, tailors and other technicians with the objective of creating a process for their certification and access to small-scale loans.

15.0
Working with my Party, the Labour Party, appoint first-class caretaker Chairmen for each Local Govt,
each appointee being skilled enough to be a potential Governor.

16.0
Set a date for Local Government elections.

17.0
Issue Guidelines to open up the BRT routes to all investors who meet the minimum standards. Create a program for widespread investment in public transport by all willing Lagosians and investors.

18.0
Issue Guidelines for markets to operate autonomously and appoint their own Iyalojas and Babalojas.

19.0
Release Guidelines for a new waste management system for separating waste to paper, plastic and organic from homes; a first step towards a world class system for turning waste into biogas and fertilizer.


20.0
Emergency rehabilitation of buildings and facilities in 100 primary and secondary schools pending comprehensive reconstruction.

21.0
Enumeration of all apartments that have been vacant for more than 180 days, and commencement of a program to ensure occupancy by 31st Dec. At least 100 such apartments are to be occupied in the first 100 days.

22.0
The commencement of the rehabilitation of 100 inner roads spread across all Local Governments in Lagos.

I am determined to set Lagos on course to become First World in 30 years.
Hold me accountable after the first 100 Days.

It has really been an amazing year for me, except for realising that there are few

These brainwashed Bastards formed alliance with the greatest tribalistic bigot lunatics we have in this country ignorantly - THE OSU PIGS

STILL,

I'm very happy that I have won a bet of about 5 m

That Obi will lose and those few ọmọ ale jatijati within the Yorubas will be put to shame.

Deprofessional:
Did I hear fair argument? Chai. Who did this to us?
So Babangida, Abacha, Buhari, Shagari, etc are from the south.

Ok.

Fuel scarcity issue have been on for over 2 month, yet, there's no solution.

When Tinubu becomes the president, he must not forgive the people who are doing all this nonsense, they must be fully dealt with especially Emefiele.

People who couldn't make Buhari the President but wants to ruin things for people who hustle to make Buhari the President.

This is so bad of this cabals.
