wasuka14: Thanks to Milwaukee Governor. Some people are not happy that this is happening in Yoruba lagos. Glory be to Almighty God. Keep shaming our enemies.
Mufu, how is your stainless steel and 419 business . finally you have data to post on nairaland ......hope you are buying APC fuel at 20naira per litre.
I miss your dork dramas.
Have you seen the people you hate are coasting along , they are doing their business while you are on your way back to Osogbo empty handed
wasuka14: No matter how anyone kick. Certainly government can't continue to pay subsidy on dollars and petrol. That's the fact. Let's face it and find different solutions arround it. There is no problems without solutions. This is an Era of thinking, Era of looking for different solutions to the problem we face instead of kick and complaining. Let's think.
Saka my fried RIP sapa eventually laid you to rest...how subsidy market in the great beyond
wasuka14: Pls whats this frog voice man is saying? Can anyone interpre his grammar? Thank Goodness that this Gbajue didn't even near to even smell aso rock oo. Say naso e for dey address and represents us home and abroad with that frog voice?
Dick head , where are you ? The day you can speak and write English like PO's dog is the day your pig brain will graduate to Ram brain.
immortalcrown: Sentiment rules Nigeria. That is why majority of Nigerians condemn the action ERISCO Foods takes against the lady. Most nigerians place emotions above facts. The best way to handle the case is for the public to send apologies to the brand and assure the brand that its product will not be boycotted. You cannot save the lady by threatening the company. If you keep threatening the company, the company will choose to die as a hero than dying as a coward.
Defamation is not review. Defamation is lying against a person or thing. Chioma lied that ERISCO tomato paste kills. Review is saying the truth about a person or thing, whether the truth is sweet or not. Chioma is not being punished for her review of the paste. She is being punished for her defamation of the paste.
1. Right from the moment the lady defamed the product, sentimentalists quickly began to beat drums of boycott against the product. According to ERISCO, the demand for the defamed product sharply dropped following the defamation. But sentimentalists now claim that the defamation would not have affected the brand. They claim that what will affect the brand is the action being taken against the lady. So, the brand should have waited to fold up before challenging the defamation? Before you judge a person, put yourself in his or her shoes.
2. The lady lied against the product by claiming it kills people. Who will keep quiet when accused of killing people? Who? If you condemn ERISCO Foods but cannot keep quiet when you are accused of murder, you are nothing but a hypocrite.
3. I would have condemned the action of ERISCO Foods if the lady tendered a sincere apology and the public joined her to ask the brand for forgiveness. The same public that the brand's survival depends on believes the lady's claim about the product and threatens to boycott the product. So, the company is trying to save its reputation.
4. I know she had miscarriage while in police custody, and it saddens me. But we should also know that many workers in ERISCO Foods may loose their jobs and die of hunger because of her defamation. Are you saying it is right for her to try to kill people but it is wrong for the people to try to defend themselves? ERISCO Foods didn't get her arrested to cause her the miscarriage. ERISCO Foods got her arrested for the sake of justice. The miscarriage is a coincidence, not a deliberate action.
5. She said the paste contains Sugar. It is true, and the company never said otherwise. On the body of the paste, Sugar is listed as one of the ingredients in the paste. But the sentimentalists quickly joined her to cry that the company is deadly for putting Sugar in the paste. They implied that the company has been deceiving the public. How? Does the company hide the fact that the product contains Sugar? If not that you are stupid, you would have checked the ingredients in the paste before displaying your stupidity.
6. The company explained that the paste is a multipurpose one that can substitute butter for bread. I saw some comments saying that such paste is being consumed for the same purpose in some Western countries. So, ignorance landed the lady and her fans into this mess. Who does a review without a thorough research?
I am happy to see your post , it continuees to give me hope that there are people in this country who still have strong ethical , moral and professional values. Basically most people dont have their heads on the neck. I agree with your dispassionate post 100% it makes a whole lot of sense. Sadly , we are in a generation and time when people want to be reckless and not take responsibility for their actions.
Freedom is a right but it comes with responsibility. I hope people learn not to be reckless and general in their online posts. The laws thankfully can uproot people from the anonymity of hiding behind keyboards. Just be responsible online simple!
Today , people who have no business leading conversations are now bloggers, have access to nairaland and all social media platforms, in the past only trained and educated minds had this access , today even nematodes can post all over social media.
A man without principles and values is not as bad as a people with no vision.
The likes of Doyin Okupe, Bwala, Reno Omokri and Wike are examples of men who have no principles and values , that they can continue to talk and be listened to is a big shame on us as a people. No honour exists in this land. These treacherous people will say horrible things about Tinubu tomorrow. They live by their bellies and mouth
wasuka14: Yeye fake products. Holy Ghost fire will definitely destroy and continue to destroy all fake and counterfeit products, wherever they are stored or selling in this country. Yeye flat head developers.
You are one of the nematodes deployed to Nairaland to cause dissaffection between tribes and also spread hate and at all cost ensure your party wins. I am happy today your education has failed you, your education is clearly a waste, your skill is useless in the face of the crippling economic flipflop and lack of focus which are hall marks of this administration.
You don't even have the money to buy data to stay on nairaland , you have started to live your hell here on earth....Iwolokan.
obinna58: I’m a farmer and I had to stop bcoz of high inflation, it’s not bcoz supply cannot meet up with demand but demand prices are highly unacceptable Inflation made poultry business an impossibility as of now
You sef wey sell chicken go Dey shocked at the price you’ll have to put it else na loss
God Bless you , Agriculture is now very unprofitable generally speaking.
Cost of feed is out of reach, Nigeria imports feed and many components like corn ( Impact of senselessly floating USD without alternatives) Security is expensive and not assured Cost of chemicals , drugs and implements are all high because these are largely imported or their components imported Infrastructure problem - Access, roads, Power, Diesel and petrol and Power out of reach Govertment taxes and corruption - Allagencies collect money and bribes from FGN to LG, on the road they tax us and everywhere without any corresponding value for monies collected>
Finally there is a huge drop in effective demand due to the high prices and reduced effective demand from the people.
Chicken republic is dealing with the short supply of chicken as well as the elevated cost of doing business like many other businesses in Nigeria today. Let the CBN and Finance ministry keep churning out numbers while the whole nation is shutting down. , Go to the airports , go to the lagos streets, go to the markets, go to the travelling routes, go to industrial areas in Nigeria and you see the dwindling economic activities.
This is not politics but people who are still hailing the senseless policies and policy flipflop of government should continue until that fine day they wake up suddenly hungry
These Government people don't know that this is huge uselessness sentence on them. I see the TV antennas and the TVs at night and the squatters cooking, this has been there for years. How can they wake up and suddenly discover these people? Where were the government officials when they started building and have now turned it into a village of some sorts? This has been there since mid 2000s.
There is somebody in Government whose Job it is to ensure this does not happen, that person has not been queried or fired and they come to the media to shamelessly show their incompetence and lack of commonsense and lack of capacity to be shamed. IF you ask anyone of them why they are just discovering the shanty town, they will tell you it was before they assumed office or power. Government is a cult in Nigeria especially this Lagos state. If you drill down, you will find there is a reason behind this eviction and there is a big man or big people who are behind it.
While it is wrong to allow people live in such open and public spaces I think the government is scoring cheap points with the predicament of these people. I can also bet the poor victims will be looted in the name of enforcement.
wasuka14: The same hardwork you people are running for to your various Japa destinations is what you will still meet there if you want to survive. Instead, stay back, work hard and leave good life. Parking toilet wastes, or drainage or garbage around parks and taxi, security guards or lorry driver are the only sure work in many japa destinations
Prickie, you see ......a few months after , they are still getting by with the menial jobs and still able to afford basic necessities and better things of life. You on the other hand are now so broke you are MD of a now moribond business killed by reckless government policies. You cant afford data to come on nairaland since they stopped paying your attack dog stipends. You , dunce were one of the people deceived into thinking subsidy removal was to favour the generality of Nigerians ( matter of another day) I hope the sapa that has consumed you will give you renewed brains.
What you do not understand is the fact that there is dignity in labour . Especially when you work hard with honesty. Not collecting stipends from an evil party to come online and act like a rabid dog!
KnowAll: Why are we mourning when our small neighbour pays 42,000 and they not shouting “ ebi pa wa oh! We are hungry. Which kind hunger be that when we are d cheapest country in Africa.
This is false the price if you do a simple Google check is 11k naira . You know Nigerians dont read or ask questions hence your deliberate deceit.
wasuka14: They called him certificate forger but he is the best Governor in 1999-2007. And till today his empire never crumble. Those who didn't forge what do they achieve
Just watch it Tinubu will be the best president Nigeria ever have.
You have suddenly realised you a certified dumb and deceived ...you have run into hiding ......,,say it again that Tinubu is the best president Nigeria ever HAVE (sic) retard, you don't have money for Internet again
wasuka14: All the useless and lawless developers must be sent back to their yeye villages with tears one by one. Go and build no man's land in obi anambra
Apparently you have gone back to osogbo in your one room apartment before the APC people picked you from dirt and made you an internet troll+, the sapa has eaten you up. No data to post again . The hunger and lack has removed the scales from your eyes . I said it that you will be one of the first to go down. Proven right!
I think the real annoying story was hownthey shut all the businesses around ikoyi and lagos Island , stopped filling stations from selling fuel or rendering any services, towed vehicles that were legitimately parked, blocked access roads and made life a living hell from people on the island yesterday.
They deployed these policemen who were dumb and stupid about it. Very Insensitive and one way, I asked one of them if they were this efficient when there were crimes in Lagos!
How can presidential movement stop everybody's lives, they cause major disruption , the same exact thing they complained PDP presidents were doing.
The bad portion of road causing major traffic at the FIRS junction on awolowo Road was patched over night. Those policemen disrupting all our lives will still come and beg for money. Its a shame how hypocrisy, totalitarianism abuse of office, impunity has taken over nigeria.
The president can move on Weekends or night on the already stretched thin Lagos roads, better still they announce for us to all avoid island on the day he is coming out .
The disruption to life's on the island yesterday was un needed and annoying , least democratic. Nigerian politicians are all the same , no empathy for the people, its all about them and their apologists make excuses for them.
wasuka14: Yeye fake products. Holy Ghost fire will definitely destroy and continue to destroy all fake and counterfeit products, wherever they are stored or selling in this country. Yeye flat head developers.
You claim to be a moslem and you hate another tribe and rejoicing over their losses. Dont waste your time going to the mosque today , your prayers are an abomination to the Almighty . Further, check it , the worth of your life has been diminishing and will continue to as long as you have hate in your heart.
Wild life like you caused the platform to be taken down for days yet senselessly you continue ethnic baiting
wasuka14: All the useless and lawless developers must be sent back to their yeye villages with tears one by one. Go and build no man's land in obi anambra
PRICKie ...your hate of igbos is why your life is stuck in a one room apartment and you are still doing 419 crypto and fake stainless steel works.
They import the stainless steel that feeds you and they are prospering more everyday. You on the other hand are consumed and impoverished by your hate. Imagine your wasted life many years after school you have ended up as a driver , 419 crypto scammer and a dumb stainless steel boy! You cannot construct correct sentences with aligned tenses.
Your life would have meaning if you eschewed hate. Today, you feed on stipends from politicians to propagate hate, but your life is wasted, 419 you no see because people are smarter, stainless steel , I understand you are the dumbest and most irresponsible installer. Your name should be changed to wasiu omotayo saka BURUji
wasuka14: All the useless and lawless developers must be sent back to their yeye villages with tears one by one. Go and build no man's land in obi anambra
Your hate for igbos is killing you and making your life more nd more worthless. ugly hyena, after so many years wasted by your parents in training you , you still have a black brain box
There are tons of stuff we abuse on Nigerian roads
Lanes ..where people drive on lane markings, many do not understand the fast , slow or service lanes Hazard lights ...where especially Lagos danfo drivers leave them on permanently Headlamps you mentioned ...many do not know the difference between low and high beams and where to use them , no knowledge or etiquette on its use , even a parked can will have the full beams on, flashing lights stupidly and rudely. Horns...most drivers use the horns to show and display madness
Reason is the fact that only few go through driving school and only few have knowledge of driving etiquette.
NO enforcement .....FRSC ,,police , VIO etc only focus on revenue generation and bribes. No laws.
What should happen is for our executive to put laws in place and the enforcement should be strong. Revenging with stronger lights might put you in jeopardy and risk of a head on collusion. The problem is majorly lack of knowledge and selfishness.
wasuka14: Who is this village bumpkin? Do you think I have time for retarded morons? Go and find your fellow obidient ediats to insult, so u can be heal.
Bloody good for nothing dunce looking for trouble.
Alm WASIU SAKA OMOTAYO....... the Alm prefix is Almajiri
I reiterate your education is a waste, its not Bumpkin but Pumpkin. ..... You are just a worthless piece of stainless steel and crypto 419 sh^t. Your parents need to collect a refund from all the schools you attended, what a waste! You would have been better if your parents handed you over to Almajiri where you fit in. Your English is whack, it would be interesting to know your O level English score ( if its not forged?)
Who taught you village BUMPkin? ....this is what happens when nit wit drivers and welders join national conversations. Learn how to speak and write English before you attempt to read or respond to messages on this educated platform.
Both obi , jagaban , kwankwanso and all the people or nigeria are in the same boat , all messed up......but what has not changed is your stupidity and retardation.......from your 1 room in osogbo you Dumb driver and steel maker coming to Nairaland to comment..........worthless piece of cow dung.
At the end of the day your education has not impacted on you, your stainless steel and crypto 419 is impacted by the economic downturn . Efcc has a new chairman , they will arrest you for your scams. Your payment from APC to post divisive content will no longer come, your ugly black , blanklooking face will get uglier as you get broke and broker ....your tribal and religious hate will continue to eat you up. Its all downhill for you piggy
adefitim: Rufai Oseni and the Journalism Profession: A Critical Perspective
By Dele Elempe
The expectation on Rufai Oseni, Arise News TV Channel's anchor by members of the rational public, not the usual friends is too high for him, as a matter of fact. Rufai is not a journalist as a matter of fact. He studied Animal Anatomy and Physiology from the University of Agriculture in Abeokuta, and also studied at the Lagos Business School. He is a very bright mind, no doubt. He has been a guess lecturer in prestigious institutes like Cambridge and Sussex Universities. He has led trainings for senior executives. He is a mentor and presided over several technology conferences.
However, there a question mark on his formal education in the field of journalism apart from his experience in several media houses.
First, journalism has its core codes and ethics all around the world no matter the differences in cultural traditions. The most common shared elements are the principles of Truthfulness, Accuracy, Fact-based Communications, Independence, Objectivity, Impartiality, Fairness, Respect for Others, Public Accountability among others. Except there is a clandestine agenda or a populist propaganda Oseni is pursuing, he seems not to be conscious of all these afformentioned ethical values of the journalism profession which is adjudged to be the fourth estate of the realm that serves as the watchdog and an intergral part of democracy. In his duty as an anchor, Oseni finds it difficult to be objective, to be impartial, to be fair and to respect others. He is particularly pessimistic and gives an idea of one pursuing an agenda. This obvious trait has been condemned by several scholars within the journalistic profession and outside it - basically members the our rational community.
Just recently, Oseni had a very difficult time with one of the guests, Jesutega Onokpasa, on Arise TV which has sent ripples of questions about Oseni's consistent unprofessional conduct as an anchor. This was the second time he had such clash with the same guest. The first was when a guest, a lawyer and a Senior Advocate of Nigeria, SAN, cast serious aspersions on the Supreme Court of Nigeria. Oseni entertained that illegality but was quick to reprimmand Jesutega, who himself is a lawyer, for calling the other guest to order. That is not how to be impartial, that is not how to be objective, that is not how to be fair and that is not how to practice journalism. As a journalist(anchor) apart from knowing the nuances of the profession, one ought to also know the legal limits of guest on your shows. One of such character that Oseni entertains in his illegalities is Dele Farotimi. He makes very emotional and illegal statements on programmes with careless abandon and thinks them as the eternal truth. He finds a kindred spirit in pessimism with Oseni. However, this will be left for another day.
There are ways Television, TV, interviews are conducted, which are thought in elementary studies in journalism. Interviews can be filled with emotions depending on the subject. So hammering interviewees with 'gotcha-style' questioning or asking tough questions too much can make the guest to feel uncomfortable. You must have it in mind that you are conducting an interview which will benefit your station, not an interrogation of a suspect. What Oseni does is to interrogate his guest especially those on the other side(which shows his partiality) as if they are before the Inquisition.
Another very sour point in Oseni when he interviews is his inability to actively listen. As an interviewer, you seek information, clarification, story, news...you are bound to listen more than talk even if you disagree.
The truth is, the ability, which Oseni does not possess in ample measure, to interview effectively and make your guest feel at ease is a very important part of journalism. This is so because with effective interviews, valuable information can be gathered. So you must build trust so that the information you seek can be given. An interviewee is likely going to express himself freely if he feels comfortable and the conversation is flowing. Oseni distrupts interviews and makes his guests to feel they are at war with him because of their political affiliations. Yes, ask tough questions, hard-hitting questions, but do so with so much candour that will elicit answers from the guest. If they do not yield desired results, rephrase your questions or move on to others. This is a valued skill as a journalist.
On the 30th of October, while interviewing Onokpasa, Rufai said and I quote:
"Patriotism means supporting your country at all times, but also the government when they deserve it. Mr Onokpasa I put it to you that you came to misrepresent the facts as it regards subsidy removal. President Tinubu announced subisdy on inauguration and that was effectively pulling out subsidy. So you saying he didnt remove subsidy, quoting the PIA law that has been there for a while is a misrepresentation of facts."
The above is very poor and appalling coming from an interviewer and a supposed journalist. It is not only confrontational, it is not conversational and appealing.
He went on to interject the said Mr Onokpasa who was about to respond by saying "let me finish please." This is a subtle order on your guest you did not pay to appear on the programme. Onokpasa would go on to accuse Oseni of raising his voice on him. Was it a mortal combat the audience were expecting to see or they were glued to your programme to gather information from the other side? Oseni must spell out what he wants actually.
Onokpasa, a lawyer, accused Oseni of practising sensationalism, which I quite agree with. He said he was rude to him, which an interviewer must avoid. "I am your guest. You will respect me." At some point, Onokpasa threatened to walk out of the studio, and Oseni obliged him to do so if he so wished, something no journalist who knows the dos and donts of the profession will ever do. How do you tell your unpaid guest to leave your studio if he wants? How can you tell a guest that if he is not comfprtable, he is free to walk out while laughing? Where is your sense of apology if he felt uncomfortable with your conduct?
I am aware a lot of persons outside the profession might not be able to understand my points as I speak from a professional perspective, however the blantant partisanship and abandonment of professional objectivity and conduct must be discussed within the hallowed chambers of objectivity. And that is what Dr Ruben Abati seems to be doing to forestall the total breakdown of Arise TV.
One observation that must be noted is that Oseni, as an anchor, insert himself into narrative during interview sessions not as an anchor he is, but as a celebrity and as the 'voice of the people.' But we recall his 'Nigerian Attitude' when he was apprehended in Lagos drivinf against the traffic laws.
Another of his uncomely attitude is his apetite for preaching morals and good governance - making so much statements and attempting to put words in the heads and mouths of guests. "I put it to you that..." This he does very often instead of sticking to asking the necessary questions. Larry King once said if it takes more than three sentences to ask a question, it is a bad question. It seems Oseni is oblivious of this.

I think Rufai's style is aggressive and not necessarily unprofessional. He tends to be pushful and tries to stick with facts whether you like him or not. His style is like the Christian Amanpour of cnn or stephen sackur of BBC. You can only cage Rufai if you speak the truth and keep calm. Most of the people who have had issues with Rufai tried to lie and deceive the public. Watch his interview with Former Inec chairman Jega who caged Rufai , with sincerity and composure.
I think the writer of this article is emotional and biased in condemning Rufai, the fellow must be friends with Jesutega who did not comport himself well on national TV, he played Into the style and hands of Rufai. This writer did not watch the full interview of Jesutega or is too biased or emotional to give a fair view.
Jesutega was not well composed and tried to lie about the subsidy and economic situation ( tried to play legality vs morality) which in my view was Insensitive judging by the pains of a nigerian and clear gaffes and failures of this regime in that regard. It was Jesutega who tried to interrupt Rufai when he was asking a question, Rufai asked him to allow him finish and apparently Tega lost his cool. You will otice he greeted Abati and Ayo but did not greet Rufai at the start which means he came with beef for Rufai. Rufai did not shout on him as Tega claimed but only said "let me finish" in a calm manner ...when Tega lost his head , Rufai advised him to comport himself which reminded me of how Jega tamed Orubebe in 2015. Rufai was very professional and calm. Jesutega disgraced himself and his legal profession which begs the question, the kind of characters what should come on national TV. Jesutega , Biodun Ajiboye and Priye silva 's spokesmen are all uncouth and lacking in wisdom, APC is doing itself disservice by allowing those people come on air and disgrace them by behaving like t**ts. They believe in shouting and interrupting and ATTEMPTS to Intimidate rather than celebral discourse.
I watched the interview from start to finish and the foregoing are my observations. I think the write up is based on emotions and not facts. Most nigerians dont read and dont have inquisitive minds, we just want to get by, as mentioned by Amechi, the writer among other is banking on our intellectual laziness to distort the facts of the interview. Rufai only slipped when Dr Abati tried to mediate and he kept talking , he later comported himself but Jesutega went on ranting and answering his own version of questions asked.
However, the issue I have with rufai and most anchors like suleiman , Maope , seun, Ayo (channels) is how they annoyingly interrupt their guests, claim there is no time and spend all the time asking questions. They like to hear themselves and ask questions with unduly long stories. We want to hear the guests not you the presenter. Rufai makes me so annoyed with interruptions and how he goes OK, OK, OK when a good point is being made, they all need a lot of training and quit trying to showcase how intelligent they are.
wasuka14: I just wish people in South Eastern Nigeria who are showing support for Isreal over Gaza strip for the crimes committed by view adults, should be mature enough to support @HQNigerianArmy to give the same punishment to SE for crimes of IPOB miscreants.
Stupid wasiu saka, Your assumptions are without substance , so you sit in your one room in Osogbo and believe all igbos are supporting isreal and all igbos do not support the Army.
I think your education is a waste , continue with your driver work, you have no say in issues of national scope. Your parents should have donated you to Almajari , they should not have wasted money educating you and you still end up as almajari!
wasuka14: Which of the Bible version is this one pls. See there are more than 75 Bible versions which are different from each other. Pls which one is really from Jesus?
See the real and authentic prophecy is that, Israelite (Jews) will perish once they come together in one place. And gradually that prophesy is becoming a reality. Wait till all isrealites form one nation either God is lying or white people will shall see o.
Dunce Saka Wasiu , You cannot hide your hate for Igbos and Christians , sadly, this hate is taking you to your damnation. Your prayers tomorrow at Jumat are wasted and mardud , don't bother to go.
Face the problem of your life!... you are supposed to be in your prime and you have no career but 419 online scams , is that not Indication that you are on the wrong path? Your hate is pushing you to your early grave .
Focus on the problems of Nigeria, the fact that you have graduated for many years and still no career but a political urchin and a small time online Crypto scammer, no roads, no security and the senselessness of people like you whose parents have wasted money trying to educate you.
wasuka14: If you check the owner of that building now, it will be these yeye lagos developers. Those Igbo slowpoke can do anything. They don't car about the consequences of their actions.
Another drone footage of illegal structures built INSIDE Gedegede - Ikota drainage channel. Shot 2019
As shared by Lagos State Ministry of Environment - @moe_lagos
My Dum Dum friend Saka ,
Your bigotry and hate has swallowed your brain totally , I am shocked to know you graduated from a good school like unilorin and a great department like geography dept. You are a disgrace to Geography, BSS and Unilorin, Prof Ogunsanya will cry if he realises such a failed character got admission into the department he built. You don't have sense and you cannot write coherently , your posts are always full of errors and failed tenses, you always mix up your tenses! How did you pass GNS 101?
I am not surprised you are still a driver running online crypto 419 scams many many years after graduating, until you stop to hate people by their tribal and religious affliations,you will still have no headway in life. You will,clock 30 years post graduation and yet still be collecting stipends from politicians to spread hate online.
You have adduced that the developers are igbos only from a drone shot!....clearly you must be so empty headed that I suspect you are from Buhari's bloodline direct. Tell you what....... are igbos the only developers in Lagos or are Igbos the corrupt Lagos State officials that sat and watched them develop those plots. LAST LAST ...these people you hate will continue to prosper and build, while you will finally be arrested for your crypto currency online 419 scams, you will likely end up working for them while your hate and bigotry will end in tears for you .
I love this , it makes me go crazy seeing people throw stuff right out of their car windows or pedestrians and shop owners throw items on the road or drains , it's soooo annoying!
Again, proof that Nigerians are confused about what we want is where people are condemning this move. NIGERIANS DESERVE ALL WE GET!
I hope they can install cameras to identify and penalise offenders who litter the streets from cars , on foot or from homes and shops.Lagos will generate massive IGR from this until people change their dirty habits.
Drivers are loaded with drink and drugs ...reckless and mindless Passengers are divided on who has sense or not Vehicles are a perfect moving coffin, loose body and parts and weak mechanical systems...a recipe for disaster Law enforcement have been blinded by the bribes and payback from the transport unions
This above deadly cocktail is responsible for most of the bus accidents on lagos ibadan express.
gidjah: Ahahaha, I like the 'Lecturing' part sir.I noticed this generation is gradually or rather swiftly loosing manners and decorum of social behavioural skills and relationship blaming introversion for this ,It's a blatant error. You need to enter the education sector and meet very depressed kids claiming introverts ,I laugh because I know parents are failing in thier responsibilities and we must air this out. I am a public speaker too, imagine 'forming introvert' with people that are supposed to invite you for workshops and symposiums ..ahhhh ,"you go dry with hunger at home with your family".This is not for me as I most times wanna drag issues because of my temperament like; I don't want to call /visit and even see anyone most times..I just want to keep inside my shell and face my internet all day but.. this won't help me and my future ,so, I dust out my poor inter personal relationship skill and get going all out to make contacts and establish good business and once in a while I withdraw back to gather back my lost energy (as a true introvert).That's how I have been sailing for decades .
that's a good one . "Being and introvert is no a licence to be dumb" words on gold. Hunger will kill a man who refuses to ammend the introversion, correct.
gidjah: Thank you for quoting me ,I am.not of the opinion that been an introvert makes one dumb ,..I only said for the number of years I have spent as an academia I have found out that we Make contact with more introverts than any other sector of influence.Kids got bad grades and the excuse from the parents is that the child's introvercy is responsible ,..A mature child chooses to ignore adult rather than pay full respect as real Africans that we are ,but we get the "defence guard "that introverts don't just like to greet ! ! Those are slef destructive excuses we all must do away with in our lives if we REALLY want to move up the ladder of leadership..if most of us introverts can modify our attitude and grow in terms of social relationship and value adding ,we would likely have better speed of accomplishment than we do have now.An introvert working with a group at the office isn't expected to be a snubb or work alone ,such opportunity should be harnessed to improve on your interpersonal skills in communication,and social relationship which inturn makes you more ready to face the life battles ahead.
Thanks OK I see your point seems like we are on the same page I did not understand your point fully at the first pass,,its now greatly clear and i agree with you. Though I am a bad inteover but a public figure and when I tell people I am an introvert they laugh........ I agree that skills can be built over time with deliberate efforts.
Culturally I don't take non greeters lightly ...someone passes without a hi then comes back to ask a question still without greeting , I will lecture the fellow, its bad manners.
