Politics / Re: Wike To Rivers Voters: Trust My Chosen Presidential Candidate, I Won't Mislead Y by Amigos12(m): 9:59pm On Feb 23, 2023
Houstency:
The Doctrine of Tinubu by Iyanuoluwa Bolarinwa
I am not here to sway your votes; however, if you are going to choose, go with your choice with two eyes wide open. You must know the following about the ruling party's candidate’s doctrine.
1. Opacity in public resources: Lagos State has been deliberately opaque about its finances and it’s intentional. The doctrine is that you can’t query what you don’t know. You can’t build a media siege against us if you don’t have the information. They will not be many details on public projects, spending and even attempts will be made to halt budget disclosures. It will be a total blackout on government finances.
2. Low-cost spending on technology with long-term PPP with govt agencies: Think about Alpha Beta and you can ask yourself what value they add to Lagos taxation that entitles them to 5% or 10% in perpetuity. That’s a model. There would be plenty of JVs and PPPs by briefcase “tech and consulting companies” that plug straws into public institutions and will take a percentage fee. There will be glimpses of efficiency but just people institutionalizing their benefits, almost for life. It’s a govt of plenty of compromises with several colliding interests — pick your spot and start chopping. “chop make I chop”
3. Money printing: Tinubu will realise that there’s no much liquidity by the books at the Federal level with the gargantuan debt servicing costs that are about to come. So, he will live to his promise — delink revenues from expenditures. That’s money printing galore. Emefiele or his replacement knows this job well. Currency devaluation on steroids and inflation at high levels. Well, his deft use of media and social media crew will be there to gaslight you/Ukraine/US/whatever as the problem.
4. Lagos Federal Properties: For a long time, several properties in Lagos under FG have just been hanging around with no valuation or selling opportunity. At a time, the Lagos political elite felt entitled to places like TBS. Kemi Adeosun thought of something like that but it didn’t work. You have the master in place now. How did LG Secretariat in Ikoyi turn to skyscraper or how did Lagos Polytechnic land turn into his private TV station? You know how “boys” procure these federal properties (especially Federal Secretariat) under JVs or outright discounted rates? It’s all under the wings of BAT — everything state to federal.
5. The war on anti-corruption is over because there’s no more “corruption”: Lagos had not charged anyone for corruption except its Speaker, who didn’t lose his position but was only a “victim” of local politics. If you speak to many Lagos folks, they don’t believe in federal institutions sorting their issues. Corruption is rife in Lagos, but who are you to talk when everyone is eating? There’s no “corruption” because there’s no one to shout it, and it’s a closed circle; you must be hoping to get in. I don’t understand what moral authority Tinubu will use to fight corruption. Maybe, you tell me. Well, if you are in opposition, you better be squeaky clean. You have a politician in public office.
6. Compromise every institution with nepotism to perpetuate a monarchical reign: There’s a reason why Tinubu still carries power that none of the class of 1999 didn’t have. He took the well-oiled machinery of the party called the structure with him. The market women, town unions and anything retail enough to win votes. When his mother died, he put his daughter as the leader of market women(Iyaloja), reinforcing his grip. He allows everyone to stroll into government and, interestingly, don’t touch his Alpha Beta war chest that funds his structure. So, with unlimited FG funds? It’s even easier. Traditional rulers, religious leaders and every fabric that controls the psyche of the Nigerian would end up in his pocket. He’s either putting his people in levers or sharing the largesse to go round. Also, watch how for the civil service and nouveau princes catapulted quickly up the ranks. INEC will need more vigilance if we take lessons with how LASIEC is run.
7. Disarm opposition to easily create one-party state: Where would the opposition be? They will exist but just merely exist except another money-miss-road in a Niger Delta Governor tries to rebuild the party with state money. Many Governors wish they could lead the opposition but don’t just have the resources. As per the Obidient movement, they would have to work twice as hard to remove not just him but his surrogates. The Asiwaju way would be the way out for most folks. You will be surprised how everyone would troop to his side and plead allegiance. As a person without grievances to hold, everyone is welcome. He can finally see the decimation of PDP and also triumph over Obasanjo. The Lagos PDP is the evidence here. Too many moles in Jagaban's pocket, and you will see that at the national as well. He’s a master strategist for good or bad reasons; choose your poison.
8. Big on propaganda: It’s a govt that would use media ferociously to boost projects that seem to deliver for the masses but themselves. If you walk the inner streets of Lagos, you will understand Lagos is for show(The cappuccino effect). That’s what it means. The media is in Tinubu’s pocket. He has done well for them. Just watch how basic moves are amplified and heavy metal communication is used on the people to doubt your capacity to state whether the country is progressing. The media aide industry with social media wings is about to thrive. Won’t you plug in?
9. Progress: Well, it can’t be all gloom in his Presidency. You will see progress. The kind of progress that Buhari gave us in debt-ridden infrastructure and failed in almost every other thing — education, health, security, economy, national cohesion etc. Well, Tinubu will provide you with that as well. He will assemble some smart-ass folks too, giving them the power to deliver outstanding work in a few areas. In fact, he will surrender the Ministries to the political hacks, but the agencies, especially the revenue-generating, would be in his tight grip. Watch Lagos very well and check the loyalty of key govt agencies (not Commissioners) to Tinubu. Just marinate good ideas with some private sector panache; it would be a highlight of his govt. Who knows what it would be? It’s not a govt of all-around five stars but there will be bright spots to fool with some talk of progress.
10. Lagos to London Mafia : “Lagos today, London tomorrow, Oluwa loseyi”. Well, President Buhari left a template that you can be insensitive to citizens' yearnings to change the healthcare system and splurge public resources to fix yourself. Tinubu will not be different. All that travel will be done with public resources without any restraint. Nigeria’s Aso Rock is a septuagenarian paradise. There won’t be limits and you know how that worked under Buhari and Yar’adua; someone in the shadows will emerge and fill that gap, wield power as Chief of Staff or even an unknown portfolio. Time will reveal things as such folks secure their primordial interests as well. It’s just business as usual since Nigerians are hard of hearing.

Sai Buhari.


If only people knew what oil countries such as Angolans and Venezuela folks are passing through during this global crude oil price recess, they would thank God Buhari came in rather than Jonathan who looted us dry during oil boom when it was selling at $110 per barrel for five years unlike the paltry $50 it has been selling under APC. If the looting Jonathan couldn't save during the time of plenty and was already borrowing, how would he have carried on during this crude oil price recess?

Despite Buhari administration earning 60% less yet he's come up with plenty projects such as

Our railways at itakpewarri, Lagos-ibadan, kaduna-abuja etc,

The production of low cost fertilizers,

Zik maoseleum

Baro inland port,

Rice mills,

Foreign reserve increase from $26b to $43b,

Construction of our express highways such as enuguonitsha, Lagos-ibadan etc.

Social policy schemes such as tradermoni, npower etc

Payment of all pensions of airline staffs that were forced to retire after the shambolic privatisation by Atiku. PDP didn't pay them in the last 16 years.

And most especially, stabilizing us through this recession which happened because jonathan failed to save despite earning 60% more than Buhari coupled with the fall in the price of crude oil from $110 per barrel in 5 years under Jonathan to a paltry $50 per barrel under Buhari administration yet Buhari was able to keep us afloat while having many projects to his name thereby surprising Ngozi Iweala and Charles Soludo who predicted recession because jonathan looted and failed to save during the time of plentiful.

Sai Baba. PDP, Neva again


Yes about the inability to save,the ijaw man was to soft for my liking but you can ask around 'What role did the lion of ubima play as the Governor's forum Chairman concerning it?'

Programming / Re: Why Waste 4 Years On Computer Science In University? by Amigos12(m): 11:03am On Feb 15, 2019
Febup:


Most of the innovations today were developed by those with a degree in Computer Science or Software Engineering.

WhatsApp the world's biggest mobile messaging service - 1. Brian Acton: Degree in computer science. 2. Jan Koum - Became interested in
programming he enrolled at San Jose State University.

C++ - Bjarne Stroustrup PhD in computer science.

Java - James Gosling: Bachelor of Science, M.A. and Ph.D. all in computer science.

Linux - Linus Torvalds: Between 1988 and 1996 graduated with a master's degree in computer science.

Jquery - John Resig: Graduated with a degree in Computer Science.

Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat Reader the Portable Document Format (PDF) and Adobe Creative Suite - 1. John Edward Warnock degree in electrical engineering and computer science. 2. Charles Geschke PhD in computer science

Windows and Apple: This youtude video tells us that the GUI technology they are using was developed by Xerox team of computer scientists:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQocN_c2uLI

Other innovations by the big companies were possible due to them recruiting computer scientists.

Canada is the only country in the world where Software Engineering is regulated https://www.engineerscanada.ca/become-an-engineer/examination-syllabus
If you don't have a degree in software Engineering in Canada you can take these exams https://engineerscanada.ca/sites/default/files/syllabus_4_20.pdf or work under someone that is licenced that can check your work.

Regulating programming will not drive up prices everywhere as you have stated but will only ensure that the quality of software developed are up to standard and will help to check those that take up programming projects they are not qualified to be doing.

Interesting read!
Is blockchain development captured in this regulation?

I'm tired of these recycled politicians that have very little to offer.In 2023,I just hope youths from the North,South,East and West of this country should form a common front,send into retirement every politician from 50y/o down and mount the saddle of leadership of this country. They said we can't handle it,let's just make the mistakes and correct it ourselves.

theoldpretender:


We are light years behind because Nigerians don't want to pay the taxes needed to build a very good forensic capacity.

Many Nigerians too don't pay their light bills. So, we have difficulty funding power supply,which you need to preserve frensic materials,and run that PCR machine for DNA analysis.

In this election, we have a choice between two bad parties. A governor was caught taking bribes. No one in his state is rioting. The two main parties have all sorts of corruption cases on their head....and no one is doing nothing.

Our universites are badly funded. We pay less than $200 in fees and expect $20000 in facilites. You cannot get well trained professionals from just $200 per annum per student.

And by the way, in this country, people commit crimes, and their relatives , friends , tribesmen even
prevent them from being punished for their crimes. Someone comitts a violent crime,we go and beg the family of the victim,and nothing is done. Or we go and hide him from being prosecuted.

There is something wrong with governance in Nigeria....and it is because there is something wrong with the people. And the sad thing is Nigerians are not ready to face their sins.

We need a total reorientation from top to bottom in this country!

Given the vast nature of the programming world,there is a tendency for one to be overwhelmed with too much information such that one might attempt to engage in several languages in bits at a time.
My advice: Focus on a particular language and learn all you can about it to a professional level.
