Politics › How South Korea Left The North Behind--a Lesson For Nigeria! by americanson(op): 9:17am On Feb 07, 2018*. Modified: 9:39am On Feb 07, 2018 |
SOURCE:https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2018/02/06/world/asia/korea-history.html In 1988, the last time South Korea hosted the Olympics, North and South Korea were more alike than different, separated by an arbitrary line yet joined by history, language and the bonds of family. Both Koreas had come a long way, emerging from colonial rule and rebuilding their economies after a devastating civil war. But the Olympics in Seoul in 1988 ended up being a turning point. Over the past 30 years, the two countries have diverged sharply — economically, politically and culturally. South Korea rapidly industrialized, growing at one of the fastest rates in the world. The North stagnated.

valentineuwakwe: the game plan has change...these guys are smart and are not ready to deal with the current president...look they know if their own elections hold first and they secure there positions or offices, they will then use it to battle the re-election plan of the president, hence the presidential election would be last.... i just pray my president sees the hand writing on the wall and do the needful... Exactly... Considering that rumours have been going around that many of them will not return, even Kogi gov. Was boasting about it. I support anything to checkmate Buhari |
Politics › Re: APC Thanks Tinubu For Accepting Buhari’s Appointment by americanson: 7:29am On Feb 07, 2018 |
Meritocracy: Don't pray for anybody failure if you don't want to fail. Do you want to follow Obasanjo who put us in hardship a day to leave the office by taking tax to 10% and increase pump price, thought he's done with Nigeria not known he's coming to beg us to vote for his party come 2019. Before you start cursing anybody, my question is ''has power supply ever improved like this for 16years of PDP rule.'' which power supply increased? To the best of my knowledge,i used to get as much as 16 hours power supply before APC came on board but not it is being rationed. |

LordAdam16: Yet, Aisha, a Muslim wife is against her husband who's the President.
So what's Osinbajo excuse?
You mean to tell me that a senior pastor in RCCG and a SAN who'd preach about Esther, Elijah, David, and Joseph to the pew on Sunday would be scared to condemn the killings of christians because of his political career (or because he was warned).
Shebi you guys say it is god that gives power? So is he saying if Christ was in his position, he'd keep quiet because someone warned him not to speak. Abi does he think if he contests against a core Fulani Islamist, the North would vote for him because he kept quiet when their henchmen were killing.
You guys keep disgracing your ethnicity, religion, and philosophy; with absolutely despicable excuses.
-Lord Aisha Na wife oooo, the Mother of his children. Note that nobody has attacked her much after the shared video but what do we have on those who subscribed to going against Buhari? Well, all we can do is make effort to get our PVC. |

Then a cattle was roaming around in the street. So a man in his 40s or 50s gathered boys, I inclusive to catch the cow and tie it to and electric pole. Aboki came and instead of thanking the people, he was asking of they gave it food and water. Guess what they did to him... Just guess.

doctokwus: The fact of Osinbajo's shallowness in thought,ideas, speech and actions is no longer in doubt. The question that keeps bugging me however is this: Was Osinbajo originally shallow or did he become shallow by association with the likes of Buhari and his ethnically shallow cabal? he is Not genetically shallow... The latter statement justifies and answers your question. They have warned him severely and that is why he can't make move so as not to appear as "over sabi" He is just acting according to script handed to him. |

The South is still better and ahead of you guys up North in everything imaginable. A southerner gave you leprosy infested hands internet and mobile through which thousands of Nigerians are still making millions from... There are other achievements but give me one thing ANY Northern president has done for this country that can beat just this one thing I have mentioned. Was it not a Northerner that cancelled June 12 election? Was it not Northerner that overthrew a democratically installed government?... As far as I am concerned, your forked up North is retrogresssion personified in every sense of the word... You guys up North makes God look stupid for giving you brains. I was compassionate and tried to encourage a friend to keep giving Northern beggars money but he stood his ground that he won't. Now I understand why it is best not to give them money... Their problem js caused by the Northern government and I too think henceforth, they should go meet their leaders and people like you... Fools? |
Politics › Re: Buhari Still Enjoys Tremendous Support from 75% of Northerners Despite Failure by americanson: 3:53pm On Feb 06, 2018 |
Prechbills: All northerners still support buhari unanimously, like seriously you can't see a Hausa/Fulani man condemning buhari despite the hardship he has caused this country. my question is; what is wrong with the north? is It because the guy is a Muslim? or because he's a Fulani man?
another factor precisely is 60% of the entire northern population are illiterates, I believe that is one of the reasons why they are ignorant.
what do you think ?? share your opinions pls exactly. I told one aboki that Buhari is the cos of price increment of goods. He said "no b Buhari " The thing is these guys have never tasted good life. All they know is the mediocre life that they are used to. Many of them sleep houses, uncompleted houses, no light, no fan and they are very contented. This is something the children of their elites can't even bear in 10 minutes. It is so sad. They are like mad man who thinks he is sane. The one that breaks my heart most is that the ones opportune to go to school have refused to help the illiterates. |
Politics › Re: Buhari Appoints Tinubu To Head APC Reconciliatory Team by americanson: 3:36pm On Feb 06, 2018 |
plaetton: This is not about saluting or praise-singing Tinubu . Are you people too sophisticated to the point of foolishness ? Can you see how the Fulanis use and dump even the smartest amongst you at will ?
Tinubu built up APC, got Buhari elected. Buhari messed it up in 3 yrs, and even sidelined and rubbished Tinubu on many fronts. Buhari puts all his cousins, nephews and kindsmen at every corner of his administration to run Nigeria like their personal fiefdom.
Now that Buhari desperately needs the southwest votes to win next year's presidential election in order to consolidate his final Fulani colonization of Nigeria, once again , he cleverly co-opts Tinubu, flatters him with cheap praises, and sets him to do the hard and dirty work of building unity and consensus, a character strength that he, Buhari, lacks.
Where is the so-called sophistication of Tinubu and the Southwest political intelligentia ? To be used, rubbished and dumped ?
Fool me once , shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me. Don't mind them. Tinubu is a digrace |

below is Ibeno beach. it's the longest coastal beach in all West Africa. there's so much potential begging to be realized on the beach which extends all the way to Mbo region . in fact, I think it should be divided into at least 4 beaches, with each section developed for different purposes.

They deceive us that age of our leaders is the problem, that the global paradigm shift is youthful presidents.yet history and facts confirm other wise.
GEJ was younger,Yaradua was younger,most past military heads of state were even very much younger,yet what has''digital"" leaders brought to us?
Corruption and darkness.
Digital leaders with digital corruption 
Deceit every where!
USA president is 70+
UK prime minister 62
Ghanaian President is 70+
Thailand 96+
India 65+
China 60+
Germany 61+
Korean President is 70+
Japan 84+
Kuwait leader is 70+
Mauritius president is 85!
Singapore 63
South Africa 70+
Spain 60+
Saudi Arabi 70+
Tunisia 92!

Always thinking money is king I am all for doing what you love BUT OP sounded like he wanna resign and do nothing else apart from earning from crypto and 400k monthly... He can look for something else to do to increase the 400k to 1M monthly pay. That is what I mean by hunger for more. It appear he just want to relax on his achievements so far. I wouldn't do that if I were in his shoes. |

sabanageorge: Please no bad words.
I have a sizable number of investments. Every month I make about 400k from my investments. I also invested in crypto. The market has been crazy these past weeks, but even with the recession I have about $100k. But I have not cashed out. I don't want to. I want to keep it till year's end, when it may be bigger or maybe zero. who knows. Then I have my job, which isn't bad, which has earned me all of this. But I'm getting tired of it already and I want to quit. Hoping to live on the 400k I make every month from my investments and a possible larger payout from crypto by the end of the year. What do you think?
Just a few words of advice. Hunger for more. Bill Gates is still working, Warren Buffet is still working, despite their riches. #food for thought |
