For clarification, what do you mean by "racists are only racist to people who don't hold themselves a certain way"? What is this certain way?

Devaluate the naira.
Use CBN tactics to make the Naira appreciate back to original rate.
Increase taxes.

Prices of goods remain high. Why?
Cos the naira appreciation isn't backed by production.
If dem like make dollar go down to 500, prices of goods will remain the same. When CBN's abracadabra runs out, the real rate will show itself
You'd find this supportive, I think.

Life is too short to waste ot away learning forever. We don't need to reinvent the wheel, we makes laws, we should follow them strictly.

If we say rigging is survival of the fittest then we will never get it right!
Life is only short for the ignorants who would not learn because their ignorance kills them.

While we might not need to invent the wheel, we still need to learn the history of the wheel, and how the wheel evolved into the wheel that exists today, and how to make our own wheel and how and what to use our wheel for, and if we don't start learning now and just continue claiming the winner is the fittest rigger, then our suffer head will indeed be long though our lifes would be brutal and painful and short.

I mean, just see me since Shagari, and I bet they were yelling rigged in the first general election in Nigeria in 1923 when the Nigerian National Democratic Party (NNDP) won three of the four elected seats in the Legislative Council, and you might understand how long we have been mediocre at following our own laws.

Golly, we haven't even learnt to obediently follow our simple traffic rules and laws yet, so that should show you how much more learning we still need to do.

It is what it is!
I've been hearing this same rigged nonsense since the election of Shagari, and to me it sounds like the idle wailing of the losers. (And yes, rigging happens a lot in our elections!)

Chinua Achebe wrote that, "the hunter has learnt to shoot without missing, so the bird must learn to fly without perching", instead of wailing that the hunter shoots too well.

My Awolowo lost then, and my Obi lost now, and if he continues claiming he lost because others rigged, he will never ever win like my Awolowo never won.

ValarDoharis:
Is there a reason why you're so lenient in your expectations of this govt?
We've practised democracy for less than 30 years, so I don't expect us to be perfect at it yet because I am aware how little we know and how mediocre we can be and how much more we need to learn to be competent at choosing who leads us.

This government, is a government of we the people by we the people. We conducted an election amongst ourselves to choose from amongst us who shall rule us, and even if we chose by rigging, it just shows how incompetent we are.

Now, if you think I am lenient on us, it's because I am being considerate of us. When we have failed a bit more and chosen (or rigged) into power those who disappoint us a lot more, we would learn to not be mediocre in the conduct of our elections and in our choices.

My hope is that it's well before 2123.

When you've hatred for a particular person, it will be hard to translate whatever the person says because your heart is filled with harted.

What commander - in - chief said he will reorientatate the Nigerian police by a new institution
You don't know who I hate or don't hate, but perhaps your own heart is full of hatred so you can't understand what I meant.

I don't believe the Nigerian Police can be reorientated even by instituting a new institution, because once you put Nigerians in the newly reoriented institution we will reorient it back to what it was because the flaw in our police is in us Nigerians.

Now, if you tell me he is going to reorient Nigerians so we have new hearts to the ones we have, I'd be more willing to believe him. He'd need to start with our education system of course, but I have not seen him say that yet, so sorry, I just can't see it.

LET THE COURTS JUDGE.
Judge if Obidients should be banned by FG?

That would be like scrapping whatever progress we have made since we got rid of antidemocratic Abacha, and I can only hope we don't regress that far backwards.

You might like it because you dislike Obidients and want them banned, but unless you can guarantee you'd never lose an election and be banned by whoever wins, I wouldn't think it's a wise thing to hope for, especially if and when that ban is extended to your group, be it party, age, gender, tribe, or just how you walk on the street or dress.

The good part is we are both Nigerians, whatever hardship you people might be talking about, na general sweet wey dey circulate.

How come na you guys dey disturb our peace as if na only you people going through that hardship.

Btw, isn't it confusion raised to power 6 to be waiting be vindicated for this government to fail just because your principal loss in the election and still be complaining of hardship. No be una wish dey attract una?
Do you always generalise and assume everyone who supports a particular person must all reason the same way?

The phrase, "When the rain of no progress falls, it won't fall on only one man's housetop, remember that", means exactly the same as "na general sweet wey dey circulate".

Some can however mitigate their own hardship, and so don't need to complain like you assume every must or does.

I have nothing against Tinubu per se, but I am rather perplexed that the majority of Nigerians who complained during the two terms of 8 years of APC rule would vote APC for a third term, and I am very amused that some are even now calling for the return of Buhari.

When some people say they can't see anything good in you ( this government), just give them a hug as life can be so difficult for the blind to see
No one has told me they can't see anything good in this government, and if anyone does, I'm certain they have their reasons.

Regardless, I'm not particularly interested in what others see or not, as I can look for myself and see for myself. And if you asked me if I see anything good in this government, I'd say their attempt to remove fuel and electricity subsidies is a good thing despite the fact that their removal increases the price of fuel and electricity and causes hardship for many.

Now, if this government goes just one step further and scraps Youth Service, which is a subsidy of labour for employers, this government would have made my day.

The Obidients as a group have vowed not to see the progress and development of Nigeria ever since their principal loss in a contested election.
I am Obidient. I do obviously read. And I never "vowed not to see the progress and development of Nigeria", because that would be as stupid as vowing not to see my own progress, or yours for that matter, which I have no reason to do because your lack of progress would hold me back. So I must ask if you have vowed to lie for some reason, or you just can't accept that some see things different to how you do.

As a wise person once sang, When the rain of no progress falls, it won't fall on only one man's housetop, remember that.

This is trite. Who says Nigerians experiences are all similar? But most if not all Nigerians understand what it means when someone yells Nepa. There are shared understandings born from living somewhere.
The complete experience of Nigeria is not Nepa. And while some are experiencing Nepa in Nigeria, some Nigerians are experiencing uninterrupted electricity and therefore have different understanding of Nepa.

The transformer in front of my house in Obanikoro in the 70s would blow and we would be Nepad for 6 or more weeks, yet I still meet people who lived on the Island telling me they never had power cuts at all. Personally, I think they had auto-kick-in generators that we never had, but hey.

Am I conversing or bullying them back?
I'm online when I'm at my desk working(down time) or getting things done. Don't log into Nairaland on my phone or when I travel. My time offline is valuable. Where would I even meet ignorant people? Not in my circle.
I don't think you are conversing with them, and I don't see you stooping to the depths they stoop to to bully you if you asked me, but if your time is as valuable as you claim, I think they'd get much less of it because they really are not worth the time you give them, I'd think.

And at this point, I'm going to have to ask you to forgive me if I discontinue this conversation, because I need to now divert the use of my time to more valuable things than use it conversing about some irrelevant stupid ignorant maga idiots who lack the ability to reason or converse civilly.

Ex. Driving in Lagos. I used to drive in Lagos like I would drive in the US. I would trafficate and wait for someone to give me space to enter. It rarely happened. Finally, my g/f would laugh and told me to let her drive. But she was right, in order to get anywhere driving I had to be more aggressive. If I didn't acclimate to that, I couldn't drive. Sometimes, you have to acclimate to the environment you're in or leave the environment.



This is a lot.

I've spent considerable time in the Uk when me ex was there for for grad school. Stayed near Leicester Sq.
You can't possibly believe that racists are only racist to people who don't hold themselves a certain way. Sounds too much like blaming racism on the people who are bearing the brunt of that racism.

And are you trying to argue that you can truly know a culture if you haven't experienced it first hand? It's a very Western view that discounts culture.
Yes, Ijebos, I do not only believe that "racists are only racist to people who don't hold themselves a certain way", I know from my vast experience that "racists are only racist to people who don't hold themselves a certain way". But I do not expect you to take my word for it since you can't possibly know how and where I hold myself such that racists move along swiftly. It's after all not like you have lived in my shoes.

And note how you've classified with "truly know", as opposed to know. I have never been to the USA, but I don't think even you would claim I know nothing about American culture, though I bet you'd argue the "truly" bit. But if you've concluded I can't truly know the American culture, why, pray tell, would you who truly knows American culture be spending so much time trying to educate an ignorant me who thinks I do know and wouldn't accept what you say?

Isn't that similar to repeatedly arguing about calculus with a person who hasn't learnt to count 123 but thinks she does? And what would that say about you who truly knows calculus? (Do note that I am guilty of this too.)

Regardless of you living in America, liberal left wing you would still not have the same opinion as a maga American. And you unfortunately can't claim the difference in what you both truly claim to know is because they don't live in the America you live in.

Just imagine dump claiming Biden does not truly know American culture or vice versa, and you might see the fallacy of that stance.

It's what democracy was designed to resolve by the way. It helps decide which truly known culture gets to rule every 4 years, instead of a fallacious claim to authority of truly knowing.
