That's not true. Plato lived before the advent of Western democracy. Plato (/ˈpleɪtoʊ/ PLAY-toe; Greek: Πλάτων, Plátōn; born c. 428–423 BC, died 348/347 BC) Unless you're talking if another Plato not the Greek one

You need a history textbook o.

You did not know that even Socrates, Plato's teacher, witnessed democracy and hated it?

In fact, when a historian teaches the weaknesses of democracy, they will always reference Socrates and Plato.

Socrates' problem with democracy is that unfit/unqualified individuals usually have the tendency to be handed power.

Plato emphasized that statement by mentioning the philosopher-king. According to Plato, people elect leaders in a democracy based on emotion rather than wisdom. Plato believes that power should be held by wise men (or philosophers).

Seems like this woman wouldn't be a bad PM after all.

The job is easy when you are not the one doing it.

Give it to Kemi and you will start seeing that she is not as good as she thinks she is.

That is life.

We always think we can do a better job when we are not the ones doing the job.

I remembered when Oliseh used to have a lot to say about SE coaches. He was called Africa's Guardiola. NFF eventually gave him the job and we all saw how it ended.

Easier said than done!

Macphenson:
Iran is getting itself into more mess. Trump isn't interested in bringing Iran to ashes,but with recent development,America will hit Iran badly which will affect civilians in Iran. Also it's neighbours in the gulf are running out of patience tolerating their madness. They will soon return aura for aura.

Bro, Trump does not know what else to do. Forget it.

Did he give deadlines before going to war with Iran?

On a normal day, Trump would never give deadlines before striking Iran.

He knows he has miscalculated. He is making threats because he doesn't know what else to do, hoping that Iran would be scared.

Remember the economic woes going on globally. The Americans will start grumbling soon.

anigold:
China wont dare try. Forget online rants no country can withstand the US in open battle..
If they could them for don do am since..
It wont even be for China"s benefits

And which country can the US withstand in open battle?

You people think war is some game that is easy to predict.

Being strong on paper is not the same as being in a real war situation.

On paper, the United States should destroy Iran in an under a week. But in reality, a combined attack from Israel and the US has not been able to decimate Iran since February 28.

In fact, Trump himself admits underrating Iran's strategy.

Misplaced priority.

Investing in massive buildings instead of the Church.

sheedy407:
Those borrowing from opay and palmpay without paying back, una beans don done now.

Your BVN would be blacklisted.

First to comment since 2007, make i go drink Hammer Dry Gin

They said "large ticket borrowers"

That means those with non-performing loan sizes that can affect a bank’s Capital Adequacy Ratio.

They are not talking to those who borrow money from OPay or PalmPay. You think your 10k/250k loan can affect a bank's CAR? Even those with 1 million naira loans don't count.

They are talking to millionaire/billionaire/big business owners' loans.

He get mind o. Agodi of all places. That scary place?

HeadNigga:
you see the problem ba? You can't really blame the guy you quoted. He was tagged a Nollywood actor and as such anyone who watches Nollywood should recognise him. Since he could not recognise him it was only logical to assume he only featured in one or two movies. The topic should read "Yoruba actor" not Nollywood actor.

RIP to the dead. May God rest his soul.

So, Yoruba movies don't fall under the Nollywood film industry?

You people are too ignorant.

The name "Nollywood" is just the name of the movie industry in Nigeria. Every movie (be it Yoruba, Igbo or English) fall under that industry.

Only the Hausas refuse to fall under that industry. They rather call their own movie industry "Kannywood".

gidgiddy:
You are laughable

Where in the world do the living standards of people get much worse after a President comes in, and that President is loved for it?

The hatred has always been there, even before he became president.

The hate is largely from one region, and it came from the role Tinubu played in ousting GEJ.

The hatred became worse when Tinubu won the election in 2023.

I remember very clearly those who began the rumour that Buhari had sidelined Tinubu. They could not believe that the same Tinubu would remain in APC and still throw his weight behind Buhari's reelection while political desperados like Atiku, Obi, Dino, Saraki have been busy running up and down like headless chickens, hoping to become president overnight.

Shedrack777:
But same you has never come out to tell us that we should be careful of tinubu or we should be careful of atiku or we should be careful of kwankwaso or we should be careful of wike

It was a podcast and the interviewer asked him about Obi.

Did you expect him to be discussing Tinubu when the question was about Obi? Or you think everyone is like Obi whom they would ask about A and he will talking about B?

The MOD should rearrange the score.

It is Morocco vs Senegal (0-1)

If the Super Eagles had played like this, they would have had a case.

But they let the Moroccans outplay them.

Senegal has a strong case. How can a referee award such a soft penalty kick late in such a high profile game.

Would he have awarded the penalty if it would be against Morocco?

zeenaman:
I really don't understand that kind of logic. It smells inferiority. Everything should not be tied to money

It is a terrible mentality.

Wotowotoman:
Ogbeni, free these people. Let them play as they want. This match means nothing. How una go just siddon for una face me I face you and dey criticize people wey fit feed una entire village? Which kind thing be this?

Hope you no dey criticize Tinubu o? Remember sey the man fit feed your entire village.

I no wan hear say you criticize any billionaire again.

Anyone wey rich pass you don pass criticism.

Abi no be wetin you dey talk be that?

greypencils:
He was never supposed to play that penalty. He came in exactly 120 minutes into game, at the very end. It is common knowledge, players that haven't spent time on the pitch are not supposed to play penalties.

Who says players who haven't spent time on the pitch are not supposed to play penalties?

You people sha like making up rules that don't exist.

A player who is coming on is mandated to perform warm-up exercises. So, it doesn't matter whether he came onto the pitch 120 minutes on the dot.

Warming up does not need kicking the ball or running up and down the pitch to do.

There are basic warm-up exercises that are enough to get you ready for at least a penalty shoot-out.

If you have been practising your kicks and you have warmed up on the sides, you can go straight into a penalty shoot-out and convert your own spot kick.

Salah's search for his first AFCON win continues.

Mane on the way to win his second AFCON.

Nigeria to beat Morocco tonight.

Doyou2019:
Senegal have been whooping our butts in the Nations Cup since Mali 2002.

Which Senegal has been whooping our butts?

The last time Nigeria and Senegal met in the Nations Cup was in 2006 and we beat them both in the Group Stage (1-0) and in the Third Place match (2-1).

Love800:
Omo, nigeria go too collect from Morocco that semifinal night.

What Morocco is doing is what can be termed streamlining. Can also be called scouting. Searching for intels. Its not a bad thing. Its anticipation, to show you their love for the game, and loyalty to their innovative country.

Senegal suppose beat Egypt. The west African country(senegal) goes steady on every match leveraging on every key areas to switch technical depth. Egypt will have to crack their brains to withstand dem.

Na Egypt i dey support sha.
Salah, the prince of Egypt, your trophy is waiting for you, so as to seal your career achievements.
Kia e pain me say salah looseguard that ballon d'Or last season.

I see it as mind game.

What is the need to broadcast it? They want the Super Eagles to come onto the pitch with the mindset that the Moroccans know everything about them.


I remembered before the Algeria vs Nigeria match, an interviewer pointed out to Mahrez that they were facing a Nigerian team that had scored 12 goals in 4 matches. You could clearly see the effect of that information on Mahrez. He began to look unsure of himself, laughing nervously.

You could almost clearly see what happened during the match.

The fear was there, and Algeria became so ordinary with Nigeria outplaying them in every aspect of the game.

Hopefully, the Super Eagles don't go into Wednesday game with the belief that the Moroccans have been using technology to study them.

They should go there, show little respect and not fear for their opponents.

In reality, it is the Moroccans that are actually scared of the Super Eagles.

14 goals in 4 matches, with 3 goals against Tunisia and 2 unreplied ones against Algeria.

Tradepunter2:
Keep telling g yourself mumu lies

Let me burst your bubble.

One of the reasons the United States cannot attack North Korea is because North Korea has sworn that if the United States attacks them, they will retaliate by attacking South Korea.

As for Japan, they are just as scared because of the fear that Kim Jong Un can be irrational.

North Korea is like a thug with a gun. You will be more scared of a thug with a gun than a policeman with a gun.

A policeman is expected to act in a certain way while holding a gun. But a thug follows no rules and has virtually nothing to lose.

Tradepunter2:
They don't need to.... they utilise third vehicle nations.... south Korea, Japan, Vietnam

South Korea, Japana and Vietnam don't want any smoke from North Korea.

SenecaTheYonger:
North Korea is not really producing and selling drugs to USA citizens.

Do you actually believe it is about the drugs?

Listen to Trump's speech.

They are already planning on sending oil companies into Venezuela.

bookson:
Never mind these gullible people
Who pass you don pass you no matter your jealousy and envy.

Not even Russia nor China can mess with the US

Neither will the US want to mess with China or Russia.

You people actually believe that the United States is invisible.

The US, China and Russia have mutual respect and fear for one another.

A slight strike from either of them against the other will certainly end the world as we know it.

No one can say for certain who will win a nuclear war.

So, the US is just as careful about messing with China or Russia as those two are careful about messing with the United States.

However, America's unilateral military actions might inspire Russia and China to chase unilateral military actions in the future too.

Trump is setting bad precedents, and China and Russia are watching.

runningriot:
The simple reason is because North Korea has nuclear warheads most especially stationed in the hand of a mad man. However, if it is base on overt and covert operations led by intelligence gathering and executed by conventional warfare I am telling you between now and 24 Kim Jung Un is a goner. Equally, the US are not also apprehensive because of their nuclear warfare but transfer of aggression through war of proximity especially with Japan and South Korea.

Overt and covert operations will not work in North Korea.

American spies will be just as scared of operating there as they are of operating in China.

North Korea is too isolated for America to run that spying shit there for intelligence gathering.

manuelkel:
Keep wailing and don't work on electing credible leaders.

You think Trump gives a damn about credible or non-credible leaders?

I even wonder what you mean by CREDIBLE leader.

Everyone is just saying the OP is lying.

Now, I know why many of you need interior decorators.

First of all, stop assuming that everything there is new.

Someone even said the TV alone is 300k. Must the TV be new?

Some other people said the console alone is more than 500k.

Honestly, you people should stop buying things yourself.

Have a budget and speak to an interior decorator. Don't ask for a quote. Tell them straight away what your budget is.

If a decorator feels it is impossible to work with that budget, he will tell you. Otherwise, he will work with the budget.

A 300k budget would of course mean that some things will be bought fairly-used.

There are neat fairly-used TVs. You can even get fairly used consoles for giveaway prices, if you know where to look and how to negotiate.

The best thing is to always have a budget to guide you.

It doesn't matter.

Nothing new. Just a calendar thing.

Life continuing!

If you believe in prayers, then you have to say it every day. Praying done at the beginning of a year still need to be matched with other factors to make success, just like the prayer you say in the middle of the year.

Prayer is prayer and where you say it does not really matter. Your heart and your own input are all that matter.

People will still die this year, whether they crossed over at the church or not.

My mother died in the middle of 2011. She went for crossover in the church at the beginning of 2011. During the crossover, we prayed for health and long life. My mom had an accident in March. Died in June.

clockwisereport:
How did you know Chimamanda and Ozekhome did not apply as adjunct professors?

The so-called notice from UNN says she was INVITED.

So, she couldn't have applied.

What of Taiwo Oyedele that was made visiting professor by Babcock University?

Please, don't give me examples from private or state universities. Money answers many things in private and state universities in Nigeria.

clockwisereport:
Was Bosun Tijjani a professor when he was named a visiting professor by University of the Witwatersrand?

Was Mike Ozekhome a professor when he was named a visiting professor by Afe Babalola University and Abia State University?

Before Bosun was screened by the Senate, he had applied for the role of adjunct professor.

There is a difference between an adjunct professor and a visiting professor.


As for Mike Ozekhome, we all know that Nigerians have no regard for standards, and visiting professorship have been so bastardized that they can even give it to an illiterate as long as he has political clout or wealth.

whippersnapper:
Tell me you're Yoruba without telling me you're Yoruba. So Uniabuja, that tinubu renamed they alumni and school management didn't protest

What has tribe got to do with this?

All the UniAbuja students and alumni protesting, how many of them are doing so because of tribe?

You people and your stupid tribalism.

wunmi590:
Provide where tinubu consulted with the above listed begore changing names of universities just because of politics views..

When you argue, do that constructively

That is why UniAbuja stakeholders are protesting.
