I want to believe. But it's hard to. And the non stop propaganda is not helping.
Power is addictive. The trappings of power are almost impossible to overcome.

What Africa needs is more than populist propaganda; but it definitely is much better than the majority of clueless politicians that govern Nigeria at all levels and from all parties.

Lastly I do not trust any one who says America is our enemy, West is our Enemy, Russia is our friend or even vice versa. That's low level IQ.

You and you alone are ultimately responsible for your success or failure in life; whether you are an individual, family, community or nation.

My condolences to his family and friends. I have an American friend who fought on the side of Ukraine; a Republican, some of whom are now confused with how the Trump administration is siding with Putin.

But this guy's story is odd: he is siding with Putin, believes in gender neutrality and green Earth, hates his own country America, supports Russia's grabbing of Ukraine land?

Very odd mix of political and ideological beliefs.

Why will you charged in dollars if not because you want to scam innocent Nigerians of their hard earned money. This is highly bad. Efcc should do their work on the man face. Elon Musk the richest man on the planet for 5 years now never charged $18k for mentorship fee. Don’t forget that this lied Akintayo was once proposed the purchasing of Nairaland from Seun. If not Seun isn’t a greedy person, he will have sell Nairaland to the man. Nigerians should wise up.

Akintayo? Or your mean Bitcoin Chief: Gaius Chibeuze?

NothingDoMe:
Football? Nor be the same with Internet coach.

He means life coach

If you live outside Nigeria, you can charge in dollars. Dell.com won't take your naira; maybe Dell.com.ng will

Lol. Trump and Putin: collaborating to keep the world confused.

BluntCrazeMan:
Like eeehhnn..

Imagine some whites who are living in their white-land to be thinking that the blacks (who are living in their faraway black-land) are the reasons why things are not alright in this world.

Exactly.

Porksupplyib:
Well, this is not to support Pastor Poju, but no one spends $21,000 to $50,000 becoming a medical Doctor in Nigeria. That is between 30m and 80m!

If that is the real worth, then it simply means it is heavily subsidized by the government.

Tuition fee in all public universities in Nigeria is not yet up to N1m per Academic session. University of Ibadan is not even yet up to 500k.

Medical students use 6 academic session in school. This means averagely, no student spends up to N5m (including miscellaneous)

Tuition? How about
Accommodation
Food
Transportation
Books. Yes expensive books
Handouts
These days you even have to add digital costs: Laptops, Phones for those that can't afford a laptop. Etc

Tuition was N200 my first year in school per year. Other expenses were N12,000. So you can imagine if Tuition is 150k today, how much are other expenses?

I dont think Pastor should have made this comment. While he made some points, he either doesn't know or ignored some important factors.

Being angry with the government is not the same as hating your country.

There is also not one Doctor from Nigeria who goes to the US and starts working right away, they have to do courses that last at least I year or more and then take a test. If they fail, they can't practice.

But a Doctor trained in the US can not only automatically start working in Nigeria, they are usually made the Head or at least seen as superior.

The average Nigerian is smart, so when they go abroad, they almost always shine and excel. But our Certificates are not usually respected, no matter your level of graduation, when going to the West, it's either not accepted or one has to do another year or more of training.

I am sure none of the family members of those suffering in Benue right now will agree with Pastor, even if they attend his Fellowship.

Harddiskng:
Don’t be a pessimist.

Seun can stop “Tribalism on Nairaland”! We are not talking about ending it in the world oga.

Do you go church/mosque to watch porn? Of cuz not. Once Seun puts his foot down Nairaland is not the place for lowbrow tribal conversations, that is the turning point.

Of which it is telling on and affecting the value of Nairaland, i dont know if Seun keeps track of his user’s demographic but personally I have noticed a sharp decline in active female users compared to yester-years.

Even the sensible active male users hardly comment any longer.

No disrespect to Nairaland, but Twitter is probably worth 100,000 times more than Nairaland; yet it's the home of the most vitriol in human history. If Elons bans such, Twitter will die in 30 days.

If you ban Tribalists and racists from public platforms ,you immediately kill your platform.

What you can do is limit and punish it.

Ban inciting words like Igbo, Mala, NgbatiGbati such that the words can't even be typed. Then reward positive posters like give buttons or titles like " Top rated Commenter" with the rule that a Tribalist can't get the button.

You can't stop someone from disliking Ijaw people or Yorubas or Ibos it Tivs or Fulani. But you can punish them for dehumanizing them.

Make Nairaland Great Always! MAGA

Unfortunately there is nothing you can do to stop tribalism and racism. Nothing. Human beings are always looking for someone to vent their frustrations and failures in life on.
If it's not their stepmother, mother, Uncle, sibling; then they move to strangers: the neighbor, other village, other tribe and then other race. One day, they will be blaming aliens.

Anyone that has an ounce of sanity and a bit of brain matter knows deep in their hearts that an entire tribe or race cannot be bad.

Oga don dey fear

AareGaa:
Are you saying when the heart stops beating the person will still be alive for the next 10 minutes?
I

Many people who collapse or are injured in accidents or shot still have their hearts beating.
Where there is no pulse and the heart has stopped, it can be revived. It happens world wide every day.

That's why every Nigerian should be taught
CPR. It's very easy. Almost every where in Nigeria, when someone is motionless after an accident or collapse, every body says " e don die" ,no no no; they may not dead. Lack of motion is not the same as death.

KingAzubuike:
Oh lest I forget, don't mention cpr. CPR won't revive you, it will only keep blood circulating until a defibrillator arrives. Now ask yourself, HOW SOON CAN A DEFRIBILATOR ARRIVE?

CPR can and does revive. It's literally saved millions of people.

One of the mistakes we make in Nigeria is assuming that when someone falls down and collapses, they have died especially if they stop moving.

No one dies that quickly even people shot at firing squads live for another 1 to 10 minutes.

That man wasn't dead when he fell down especially since he didn't hit his head as people held him.

I don't know what happened after the brief video, but I believe CPR if given could have saved or prolonged his life.

Its part of the script! Don't let me bore you man.

I always amazed how the Saraki family with total control of Kwara for almost 30 years since 1979 could not transform that State.
They had absolute control!

😂 😂.. yorubas have been running kita kata like sluts in post war Berlin on this issue for the past 3 days

Make una go rest... e don cast... IT WAS NOT AN IGBO COUP!!

I am still looking for the soft copy of Adewale Ademoyega's "why we struck" so i can post it here for these clueless bigots to read and instantly go mute.

In actual fact, Ademoyega was the mastermind of that coup. NZEOGWU was the face!

I will find the soft copy of "why we struck".. I lost my physical copy unfortunately but I'll definitely find it and have it posted here.


PSS: 🤦🏾‍♂️

It was Captain Ude who went to Calabar prison to free Awo, the Capitan was arrested.

I agree the coup was not Igbo , it was nationalistic. But Nzeogwu was the leader, that has never been disputed. Ademoyega was 3rd in command after Ifeajuna.

Nobody drafted the great Nzeogwu, he drafted everyone else. He in fact addressed the nation that morning.

Also most of the foot soldiers in the North for the coup were Northerners, which actually makes sense.

But unfortunately there were some unnecessary killings that day especially how Tafawa Balewa and the 3 others were killed around Ijebu Ode. That was pure murder. They were driving them around for hours in the truck and by evening, when they saw the coup had failed in Lagos because Ifejuna failed to arrest Ironsin, the Prime Minister and others were taken to the Bush and shot. That's cold blooded murder.

Noblechykk:
Leadership and activism are two world apart. I am not saying he doesn't have leadership qualities but there is nothing yet to prove that he does.

So do our current Governors and present and past Presidents have those leadership qualities?

Good job Mr. Minister. People can verify the work; no one wants audio projects. Please add security to your effort.
Roads, security and power will always lead to increase in jobs economical productivity and happiness.

Education? That one is more from the FG.

Haaaaaa. Thank God you survived.
