Literature › Re: Olaokun Soyinka Writes Tonye Cole Over Airplane Seat Saga Of Wole Soyinka by anonimi: 10:14am On Jun 27, 2019
9jaBloke:
I think this issue is being overflogged.
Let's analyse the players:

Prof. W.S;
He is over 80 years, so it is very possible that he took that seat by mistake
If it was deliberate and he prefered window seats for obvious reasons, he should have planned it better-Ask for the seat during booking, most airlines would be happy to indulge him.
He didn't see it as a big deal so he got up. There's absolutely nothing petty about WS.

Bobo Fine;
He is young and probably exuberant and may not have recognised or even known WS
He may have gone the extra mile to get a window seat
He is opinionated and non-conventional
We don't know his story (no one actually knows this guy's story so we can't keep judging him). He might have a condition, he might have been unstable, goodness knows!
He was operating within his rights so he actually commited no crime.

Tonye Cole:
Was okay to have tried to reason with Bobo Fine but should have stayed out of it after the incident.
Had no business uploading that picture.
Probably did it to trend and gain national popularity for his Guber ambition.

Nigeria:
There's already the underlying issue of lawlessness and lack of regard for orderliness.
There's also the issue of the elders' demand for respect and their sense of entitlement.
Also, many Nigerians will rather go sentimental and more often than not, the real issues are left unaddressed.

Me:
I totally totally adore Prof. Wole Soyinka, I've read almost everything he has published and his views and policies resonate with me. I will consider it a privilege for him to have my seat on a plane (deliberately or mistakenly).

That said, If i catch any unidentified elder on my seat, you will surely have to 'gbe bodi' but i will definitely demand it very politely.

It's not really about respect. I have maximum respect for senior citizens. I defer to ladies, children and the elderly.

I just think we have to restore order and enforce some basic social principles so that this country can have a good shot at working.
You did a better job than his biological son who is speaking from an entitled position of someone who has contributed to the rot our country is.
Thanks for your time and talent. grin

Rotimi Jacobs, a senior advocate of Nigeria and the Federal Government prosecuting counsel in the 13 count charge of false assets declaration trial of Senate President Bukola Saraki on Thursday said the Code of Conduct Tribunal (CCT) was misled to discharge former Governor of Lagos State Bola Ahmed Tinubu when he was arraigned before it in November 2011.

TV/Movies › Re: Yoruba Movie Industry Is Getting It Wrong by anonimi: 6:24am On Jun 24, 2019
YourNemesis:
Is it only that? You are not even touching on the real/cogent points.

How about their horrible code-mixing between 60% English and 40% Half baked Yoruba that they call discussions in Yoruba?

They may think that it makes them sound "posh", but seriously, it is disgusting!

Why would I go the length of watching a movie in Yoruba only to hear them speaking English half the time when english nollywood or even America's hollywood is there for me to watch if I wanted 'spren spren' English grammar?
Yoruba actors of the 90s and early 2000's to mid 2010s were waay better in their Yoruba language diction and knowledge including in mannerisms and traditions. What we have these days are just mass produced trash that do not last 1 month in popularity before fading out into oblivion.

When was the last time the Yoruba movie industry produced a movie the quality of Saworo-Ide, Maami, Oleku, Ti Oluwa n'ile, Sango, Magun, Efunsetan Aniwura, Eku Ida, Ayo ni mo fe, Ogbori Elemosho, Agogo Eewo, Kodun kopo Kope (KKK), Irapada; and those old Yoruba movies with epic village settings, 100% indigenous costumes and beautiful sounding Yoruba.


Everything in this generation just seems to be going downhill. Even the movies. Don't even go to music. .. Like seriously, how hard can it be?

OMG did Nairaland just crash for 10 minutes? couldn't post for more than 15 minutes straight, smh.
The problem may be the greed and selfishness that wants to do all instead of collaborating with competent Yoruba playwrights, script writers or translators of English scripts.
Is that not what Hollywood does? Even oyinbo musicians don't write all their songs.
We need to stop chasing money senselessly. Datsall.

A key weakness with state police is the degree of control that state governors would have over them

Let's not live in denial. Any state police under the control of a power hungry and corrupt governor is a recipie for disaster. Esepcially in a country like Nigeria where the concept of an independent law enforcement arm is still an issue.

We'll get there someday, though.

Rivers State Governor, Rotimi Amaechi says the reason that political office holders steal fund is because citizens have never confronted or stoned them (including himself) for the act.

At a tribute event for Nelson Mandela in Lagos, Mr. Amaechi said Nigerians have not shown enough aggression or resistance against stealing by political office holders.

Rossikk:
USE YOUR FCKING BRAIN. The colonialists did not have a uniform policy of underdevelopment in all their territories. They were more strategic than that. For instance, they regarded Singapore as a strategic place, with its geographic position in the Pacific as a conduit of trade between west and east, so they developed the place as soon as they acquired it, building universities, engineering institutions, infrastructure etc. Black African colonies were regarded as the source of raw materials for western industrial growth, and so the policy was to de-industrialise them, by investing nothing into economic and industrial development, or education,
and leave them with no option but to export raw materials..

So simply asking "were we not all colonised" betrays a tragic lack of understanding of how the world operates.

Even within Africa their policies differed. They reinvested South Africa's export earnings into the country, and the place became a well developed nation by the 1940s. Why? Because they had a huge white settler community of millions who had come to regard SA as 'their' country. The rest of black Africa was just looted. So we are playing catch-up today for a reason. We started from scratch in the 1960s what other regions have been doing from the 1860s.
You obviously forgot to use your own fvcking brain.
When Bini Empire, Oyo Empire, Fulani Caliphate etc colonised their fellow Africans did they develop them? Or the world operates differently for those colonialists because they are Africans/Arabs?
How are we playing catch up? By spending our small change buying the latest gadgets of the whites and going to Dubai, Mecca, Jerusalem etc for entertainment and religious tourism?
For how long shall we blame the past instead of manning up and eating less than we earn, work hard to catch up and overtake the colonialists?

We REDUCED corruption at independence. Instead of 95% being embezzled annually, it was around 20% if that. That is why we have the infrastructure we do today.

Slaveboy to whites, I am pointing out the TRUTH about your country, which, as a colonised, white worshiping slave, you do not want to hear. If the whites were still ruling, you'd be a fcking illiterate like your grandpa because they built very few schools and no universities.
Did the whites not colonise India, Malaysia, Indonesia etc? Was China and Kporea not colonised?
When will blacks stop whining about the past and take responsibility for their present and futurehuh
Instead of doing that we are queuing up for their visas, buying and using the latest things and services created by the same whites we blame for all our woes.
is there any chance that we will grow up soonhuh
Meanwhile what happened with the Arabs who colonised, through the Fulanis, and continue to do so plus the enslavement?

Ekweremadu should not have bothered contesting since his party is not in the majority.
