Penguin2: You accuse me of being emotional and now you are accusing Pa Clark of being emotional too? Anyone who disagrees with your warped narrative is emotional, right, and you are the only one reasonable?
Let’s assume Murtala’s reason for taking power was because Gowon refused to handover power to a civilian government in 1974, why did he take power in 1975 and set 1979, a whole 4 years, as date for transition into a civilian government?
Men like Edwin Clark are called Sages because they are source of history that you won’t find anywhere. Only a full will availed of the historical repository of such a man and he would still be arguing.
Murtala gave the non transition to civilian rule as reason for overthrowing the government because that is what is most plausible. You wanted him to tell the world that he hated it that an Igbo man was made DG of NNPC?
And hey, your quest for personal survival should not be the reason you suspend reason, believe falsehoods and propagate same, all in the name of personal survival. Edwin Clarke is divisive and angry that Murtala took over from the coup that ended the government he was serving in. To further demonize Murtala, he had to use the igbo tag. To know Edwin Clarke was lying, you'll have to read the part he said he confronted Murtala with those questions at the VIP lounge of Ikeja Airport(the same airport currently named after him) in front of those other people present. He dared not talk to a man of Murtala rank like that at the time the military men were everything. You sef know. |

The President noted that American-backed development finance and multilateral institutions, which were designed to support war-torn Europe after World War II, require swift and comprehensive reform to meet the developmental requirements of younger democracies in Africa, which operate in authoritarian-crowded environments, such that the legitimate yearnings of Africans would no longer be manipulated to serve the narrow aims of self-seeking demagogues through unconstitutional takeovers of power. spot-on! They know why young Africans are angry. Why would France without gold deposit have more gold reserve in the world? African resources are being taken away and the people are in poverty. |

“Please, let them come to our aid and assist us so that we can get a vehicle that we can use to turn round the whole state to make sure we bring perpetrators of crime to book.” He added. You see our country,right? As a result of lack of support for these guys, overtime they themselves would become criminals too and begin to terrorize the community. |

Foreign Affairs › Re: He Was A Talented Person: Putin mourns former caterer, Prigozhin by BALLOSKI: 8:12pm On Aug 25, 2023 |
madridguy: The Worst Mistake of All: Outshining the Master
“Being defeated is hateful, and besting one’s boss is either foolish or fatal. Most people do not mind being surpassed in good fortune, character, or temperament, but no one, especially not a sovereign, likes to be surpassed in intelligence.”
— Baltasar Gracián
In The 48 Laws of Power, Robert Greene echoes the sentiments of Gracián’s quote above in the first law: Never Outshine the Master.
Greene writes:
Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.
Outshining the master is the worst mistake of all …
Everyone has insecurities. When you show yourself in the world and display your talents, you naturally stir up all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity. This is to be expected. You cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others. With those above you, however, you must take a different approach: When it comes to power, outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all.
Almost everyone, including you, wants to seem more brilliant than we rightly deserve. And we don’t like people to remind us of our fallibility.
Those who attain high standing in life are like kings and queens: They want to feel secure in their positions, and superior to those around them in intelligence, wit, and charm. It is a deadly but common misperception to believe that by displaying and vaunting your gifts and talents, you are winning the master’s affection. He may feign appreciation, but at his first opportunity he will replace you with someone less intelligent, less attractive, less threatening..
Putin boys will fear him more now. This is all I need to read today. |
