Honestly, we have to change. I remember requesting for an application in my Local government which was granted. I offered to show appreciation to the elderly lady but she refused accepting. She said I should extend such kind gesture to others , this has stick to me till date

May God bless her wherever she is. The truth is that it was not easy but she choose to be different.

I remember going to check for my results at the department's record office while in the university, the man in charge was just telling me to come today, come tomorrow. He did this for 6 months.

Then I wrote an official letter to him asking him to check for the results. At the general office, they refused to record receipt of the letter.

Since that day, he attended to me promptly without delay, but then I became public number one enemy in the department.

I don't know why I get so agitated when people require kickbacks to do what they are paid to do. Meanwhile not too long ago they prayed for those jobs.

May God help us in this country, because I seriously don't have faith in most other Nigerians. In short, I trust that they would opt to be questionable in their conduct more often than not.

It has always been like that, if you don't give 10% , no offer or good position for you. If you're bidding for contract & you don't back it up with brown envelope, nothing for you. That 5% grant they ask you to sign is like their birth right. Hope they later awarded it from the ministry?

Yet to receive anything from them

shortgun:

Do you believe people will continue to demand for bribes and kickbacks if there's a leadership that firmly punishes such immoral activities?
Once citizens understand that their leadership doesn't condone corrupt practices, they will likely be compelled to act with integrity, taking cues from their leaders.

The country is rife with instances of corruption and criminals being protected by the corrupt leadership.
Do you really think a police officer would dare to arrest someone like Asari Dokubo, who is widely recognized as a criminal given his known friendship with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu?

I agree with you that when corrupt actions have no consequences, people are motivated to keep engaging in such activities.

But when ordinary citizens hold people accountable for their actions, from the bottom up people begin to adjust their actions to reflect the new normal.

For instance, VDM is not in government, but because he calls out people openly, people the were supposedly untouchables via virtual of their social status (pastors, celebrities etc). You find out that, otherwise lethargic institutions have been made to wake up and handle their responsibilities promptly.

Do I feel like everyone can do things the way VDM does, nope.

But I feel like in our own little corners we can be the change we seek in our government.

This is what happens when a country continues to recycle wicked selfish leaders.

Let's pretend for once that we don't have selfish leaders.

Did you notice that she lamented the fact that she scaled through the interview process several times only to be asked to drop something on the table.

This is also a citizens problem, where 'good people' do bad things to increase their take home.

Collecting bribe before doing their jobs.

This is not only a leadership crisis that we are facing, we are also facing a citizens crisis.

Even if we have good leaders, I'm of the opinions that the citizens would not let their impact to be felt.

Case in point, the distribution of palliative during the COVID era.

Just recently, I went to apply for grant in a ministry, I was asked to sign an undertaking to give 5% of the grant awarded.

We have to change as a people, if we need a change in leadership.

When you attacked armed security officers, you are not an "innocent peaceful protester"

You become a willing participant in an armed conflict.

Officers have the same right to live and security as protesters, if you as protesters want to attack them, they have the right to self-defence.

From the account up their (if true) nothing will happen. The officer will only be redeployed.

Same thing happens with American police officers and citizens. If you attack them, they will respond

Until we start taking human lives seriously as citizens in this country, our security men would not.

What happened to going with rubber bullets and protests gear.

If the protester was using a fire arm. Your argument would have held true.

Stone to BULLET. Alaye think am. We should stop normalizing some levels of unprofessionalism from our security men.

Nothing would happen, if nobody holds the officer accountable for manslaughter. It would be buried. But if someone does. I can guarantee that, he would go for it.

Employ them just like that after stealing so much from them. They should b in jail. Why has US govt not employed Hushpupi

Because he was not the on that hacked them. He was simply the brawn of that operation and a bad one at that. Hushpuppy even had a handler whom he implicated with his carelessness.

These guys are the brains behind the MTN hack. Why not employ them and convert them to tools for the greater good.

Be playing around when your time is ticking. Ask your great grandfathers who were just talking the way you sounded.

Flesh.... when you think what you just wrote up there, are they right.??

The thread is thinking right.


So think right now...

Who determines what thoughts are right.

Are the same thoughts right under different circumstances. If not why?

Keep your hope down. The names of people for that stuff has already been submitted.

Glory018:

According to a letter of suspension addressed to the affected student and signed by the University Registrar, Mr Gabriel Egbe, Livinson Arikpo has repeatedly been involved in acts of lawlessness capable of disrupting the peace and serenity of the University.

In one instance, Livinson Arikpo was reported to have, shortly after the inauguration of the immediate past Student Union Government (SUG) Executives, allegedly locked the SUG President out of his official residence in the hostel, demanding that he (Livingson Arikpo) be “settled as a stakeholder”.

Recently, precisely on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024, Livinson Arikpo was alleged to have taken advantage of the epileptic power supply on campus and mobilized some students to protest, locking out staff and peace-loving students.

Livinson Arikpo was said to have vehemently rebuffed all requests by the Substantive SUG President, the Dean of Students and other well-meaning staff to open the gates.

As if that was not enough, he was said to have forcefully put off the generator that supplies power to the pumping machine used to supply water to the hostels with the intent to incite the students against the University Administration.

The letter reads in part… “Such uncivilized and lawless conducts are unbecoming of a student, who is supposedly trained in character and learning. Your actions, as you know, contravene the provisions of the Students’ Handbook and your Matriculation Oath.
The Vice-Chancellor has therefore directed that you should be suspended.

You are hereby suspended from all academic activities of the University while the matter is referred to the Students’ Disciplinary Committee for further investigation.

When the people indicting him are the same persons that are the judge, jury and executioner in this case; I would enjoin you all to take this report with a pinch of salt.

Is it wrong to demand that the right thing should be done by those who were responsible for ensuring that there was light and water in the hostel

Five days after the incident, there is still no light or water for students to use. And this time around no one can protest because no student wants to be suspended.

This is a case of institutional corruption and abuse of power.

What happened to the character they say they have as an institution. No meeting has been held to at least let the students know that their situation is being handled by the staff responsible.

Students are suffering silently. People usually complain when they are the recipient of injustices, but when they are the ones dishing it out they feel justified by their actions.

Why is this true? In 2020 universities embacked on an eight month strike. It was a form of protest against injustice. But now, Unical administrators feel it's absurd for students in similar situations to complain.

The swiftness with which they came to that conclusion makes it seem like they act with such swiftness in all situations. We no this is not true, because they situation for which he was suspended still persist has its yet to be addressed.

What I'm saying is that if something smells fishy, it must be a fish.

Nigeria just like making laws they can't enforce

This law makes no sense

Instead of you to focus on taxing their streaming earnings by 40% minimum .. This is easier to do, easy to trace and instant revenue generation

It's understandable for you to assert that the law makes no sense. I concur to your line of reasoning here.

What I don't understand is your reason for the tax proposal.

When high taxation policies are created by governments in first world nations, it's because the government believes that they contributed to your success by creating an environment that enabled you to be successful.

We all know the reverse to be the case here in Nigeria. This is not to say the government is not trying her best. This is to say her best is not besting at all.

I don't think it would be a smart move by the government to make skit makers pay tax that high.

I believe that skit makers should be taxed, but not anywhere near 40% of their earnings

Many people say,No love in Nigerian..We have all been through breakups and it keeps going but I can testify that true love exists her in Naija..My woman is Everything a man wants for himself..If my account balance is 100k,I will give her 99k and use the rest smoke Cigar..My brothers don’t give up cause good ladies are out there.

I agree with your premise that they are still good girls in Nigeria.

But I disagree with the manner with which you choose to appreciate her goodness.

It's not a healthy way to go about loving. It shows a lack of creativity with your chosen model for expression of affection.

Money is not the only way to show love. Do you need money to express and experience shared memories. Hell yeah.

And certainly giving someone literally all your money to express love is not sustainable in the long run.

Abeg no use money spoil the good girl whey you find, so that if Una no de again tomorrow, e no go make life hard for the next lover boy in the queue of love.

But then again. I believe that we have good girls in Nigeria and they are not as vocal as the baddies we see on social media. So them yapa and they are a silent majority.

After this long, at least someone should have been sent to Portugal for training already.

Let's see your testimonials

Sxx is the only language poor men understand. A man turned his struggling wife to the head of the family and here is another man stating that the sexual needs of the useless figurehead should be prioritized.
What a shame on y'all.
Y'all disgust me.

Kindly note that I do not support any able bodied man absconding from doing meaningful work to take care of his family.

With that point out of the way, would you say the man is free to deprive his wife of sex if the she resigns from work after marriage.

Would it be proper for the man to say, ok lady as you are no longer bringing anything to the table, no more sex for you?

From my experience, that behavior of resigning from work after wedding ceremony is more common among women that it's is among men.

We should try to gather more data points before encouraging people to continue with destructive behaviors.

What the man did is bad. And what the wife did by denying him sex is equally bad.

Two wrongs do not make a right. Fire plus fire would only yield more fire.

She has to sit him down in a heart to heart conversation to find out if he was fired.

A similar situation happened to someone really close to me. About ten years ago after the conclusion of their wedding ceremony, the husband was sacked because his boss felt he stole from his business to sponsor his wedding.

The young man struggled for two years to get back on his feet. During that period, he was supported by his wife.

Was it easy for them, hell NO. Did the wife feel like acting like the poster up there? You can bet on it!

The saving grace was that she sort for advise, listened to it and supported her husband until he got back on his feet.

I believe you can do the same by supporting him in any way you can.

bennybuhari:
Former presidential aide, Reno Omokri Has slammed Abia State governor, Alex Otti over his position on the atrocities being committed by enforcers of sit-at-home in his state.

Otti had said that his administration is not interested in going into unnecessary confrontation with the promoters of the May 30 sit- at- home in honour of those killed during the Nigeria civil war as people have a right to mourn their dead.

However, taking to his social media handles, Omokri said Otti should take a cue from how his counterpart in Oyo state, Seyi Makinde dealt with Yoruba nation agitators.

He also condemned Peter Obi and Oby Ezekwesili for describing Otti as the best Governor in Nigeria.

“Last month, Yoruba nation agitators tried nonsense in Ibadan. The Governor of Oyo did not wait for any Federal Government. He used Oyo State’s authority to arrest the perpetrators within hours of the incident”.

“The very next day, Governor Seyi Makinde destroyed their houses. On the third day, they were in court. Today, they are in prison”.

“That is a Governor! Not this one that watches and does nothing while a separatist group causes killings, mayhem and chaos in his state. And this is the man Peter Obi, and Oby Ezekwesili praised as the best Governor!”


https://thescrutinyng.com/index.php/2024/05/30/you-are-not-worthy-of-being-addressed-as-governor-omokri-slams-otti/

When we celebrate extrajudicial actions from state actors we are invariably consenting to the slippery slope where the abuse of human rights and dignity is normalized.

It's so shameful that Omokri's narcissistic need to stay relevant would cause him to stoop so low to the extent of publicly supporting the abuse of state might.

Am I in support of non-state actors allegedly using the threat of violence to hold the state to ransom.

Hell NO.

But, my view in this instance is that there are ways to ensure that the dignity of the organizers of stay at home policies are upheld while fighting to restore normalcy.

Raynald:
This not three square meal my friend
Its hardship

I feel that he is feeding quite okay.

His square meal size may not be your sort of square meal, but it's still a square.

Furthermore, it is a balanced square and it kept him from making a nuisance on the Internet by begging.

In conclusion you are right in asserting that it looks like hardships to you. But to him, it looks like heaven and that's all that counts. The contentment he experiences in litte

SageOddy:
Guys, it's your time to speak.

Be honest, can you send your girlfriend half of your monthly salary?

Do you know what I do for a living.

After all that, hustling, no be person go tell you to get sense.

LexngtonSteele:
You're just saying YES to yourself.

The place was empty with shops that had NEVER been occupied.

You don't cite projects where they aren't particularly viable.

When I read this particular layer of your argumentation... I begin to really understand where you are coming from.

With all due respect to your person, correct me if I am wrong. I believe you didn't experience Tinapa in its full glory.

Most banks in Nigeria where fully represented on premise. The shops were fully functional.

1. Conferences were being held with those auditoriums.
2. Guests were coming from all over the country to explore.
3. Not mentioning tourist lodging in its 4 star ⭐ hotel.

At atmosphere and all. That place was self funding.

This is not in anyway invalidating your other arguments.

But I believe that even though Tinapa was an ambitious project, the designers projections would have been impeccable if the project had the continuing it deserved.

Yelight:


The country generally lack a raod map, one person can come with a brilliant idea and start implementing it only for the next leader or ruler to abandon it not minding the amount of resources that has gone into it and start his own that his successor to will rubbish and on and on the useless circle continues! What a shame

The country has a roadmap. It is documented as white papers. It just that most successors lack the discipline to stick to it.

Successive governments in Akwa Ibom stuck to Victor Attahs roadmap for the state and you see where they are after so many years.

Like the folks in tech usually say, "don't reinvent the wheels". Stick to what has worked for the other person and build on it

We admire foreign governments because irrespective of who is at the helm of affairs, the blueprint for the country or state would be adhered to.

This does not in anyway stops the incumbent from bringing fresh perspective and ideas to the polity.

Nigeria on paper is supposed to be great, because a plethora of great minds have written documents upon documents detailing how to move her forward.

But as usual, our leaders are too scared to stand on the shoulders of giants who have gone before then.

LexngtonSteele:
I went to Tinapa in 2008 / 2009 on a Saturday.

Donald Duke just zapped billions there. So sad.

Say what you know.

The question is was Tinapa fully functional during Donald's tenure?

Did I hear a yes?

Did Imoke allegedly fail to ensure continuity by removing the managing firm and substituting it with one of his own for his own for political reasons?

I see you nodding your head?

What happened with Ayade and his band of miscreants that allegedly parried almost all the furnitures in the hotel and surrounding complexes away?

After endSARS was over, the place became less than a shadow of its former self.

It's one thing to have a vision, it is another thing for the next person after you to let your vision survive.

You should not blame the visionary for daring to dream and live their dreams if the next person cannot see the need for such lofty ambitions.

Donald did his best with the time he had. The deterioration of tinapa is as a result of carelessness from his successors.

muyico:
madman! served him right

Was he the one that sent the nude?

Just asking...

I just pray that bad thing that you did not do should never be attributed to you

jayce232:

@bold It takes someone that has built & rented out to know the bold. I see many people up there advising him to build miniflats for rent, I just laugh.

It takes at least 10 years to recover your initial investment in a building project.

It's not a sustainable way for one to quickly grow their cash base except you want to use it and an asset to get loan to fund other business endeavors.
