Perhaps you assumed I meant "Poor people"

When I literally referred to the people going to the voting centres to cast their votes!

Lol I just hope you got the message. Join MOP centre on Instagram.

This is a lesson to people voting useless governors.... Forgetting that most people they go to to beg for money are civil servants and if they vote nonsense, they'll likely be disappointed when next they go to beg for food or money....

It will affect you one way or the other.....


FG increased states allocation after subsidy was removed and they can't increase staff salary to the FG standard?

Lmao. It's crazy that I used to think like this too until I elevated my consciousness.
Before poor people collect 1k to sell their votes, the civil servants and professionals don collect 200k-20million to paint these terrible leaders in good light to us.

These civil servants and professionals allow the criminal leaders walk our streets. Nigerian lawyers, bankers, help them achieve their status, and all our great minds keep shut.

Without professionals, bad leaders cannot even reach the people

obiekunie01:
they should stop using our reserve to stabilizer Naira.


this problem can be solved within 2 years if we pay attention to agriculture.

The government should disburse grants to farmers nationwide and setup committee to monitor the grant beneficiaries.

by next harvest, food will be plentiful and their will be food surplus.

How then will they weaponize hunger if they do that? It's not by accident things are the way they are. Nigerian elites need it to be this way. We have to organise to beat them at their game politically. Join Mop centre on IG.

Please gerrout, Naira is deprecating Indeed, what are you doing to help defend the Naira, what commodity did you export, or service did you render to bring forex into Nigeria?

Confused incoherent Thing.

😂😂😂😂 I'm sorry I know you didn't quote me but I just had to intervene. An elder cannot be in the market and see a baby's neck in an uncomfortable position and look away.

That other guy is absolutely correct. Quick Economics -- the one true process that can strengthen the naira against the dollar is development. The question is, is the Nigerian government developing the people?
(1) When the Nigerian government develops the children, it means the kids get the best schools in the world and that brings foreigner's kids who have to look for naira.
(2) When the Nigerian govt wants to develop its people's quality of life, the best hospitals will be built for them and docs and again foreigners troop in.
(3) Again, when the govt wants to develop it's people, it'll provide easily accessible loans for even poor people, for small scale refineries and those kids you see building funny looking cardboard cars to engage in business to tackle local challenges in which the best idea gets to bring in Forex.

In this way, Nigeria will never be dependent on the dollar.

But what your govt does is bring in investment. What is investment? Put small in Nigeria and take plenty out of Nigeria. It'll never be enough.

Follow MOP centre on social media so we can liberate Nigeria and quit being dependent on the dollar.

StPete:
Celebrating a man who met dollar at N700 (after the heavy heap of curses on Buhari for bringing it this high from less than N200) and bringing it to N1k+ as the greatest Nigerian President is the best joke of 2024

🤣🤣🤣 The foolishness is beyond me. What's crazy is Tinubu can never bring the naira to be N700 cos the gap between USA and Nigeria has been further widened since Buhari.

There hasn't been any effort put towards the development of Nigeria, it's all been investment and investment doesn't actually give value to the country, only to the investors.

So, for Tinubu 2nd term, all he has to say is "I revalued the naira" around 900/$ and some will fall for it.

Isn't this man owing Nigeria billions?

Na who get money go dey run kiti kata nau 😂😂

Fossil fuels will still be in demand in your lifetime. Google what is happening with EVs in the US….people are not buying. Hertz just put up 20,000 of the EVs for sale because people are not renting them. Look at what is happening in the UK regarding their previous targets.

Understand that the whole green movement just like Covid vaccines is more politics than science. The science does not back up the rhetoric and like most things the truth will eventually out.

Global warming is real but co2 is not the cause of global warming. Co2 is a consequence of Glo l Al warming and global warming g is a natural phenomenon as part of a global cycle that has existed for centuries but if as a scientist you say otherwise all your research funding will be stopped so they all tow the line. It is the same thing they did with Covid, now we are finding out the vaccine is causing heart and other problems and ivermectin actually works. Lithium actually causes more environmental damage than fossil fuels but they won’t tell you that.”

In this life you have to read, research and think for yourself. The same Oyinbo man that told you margarine is good did so to promote their companies, margarine is one of the most unhealthy fats you can consume. The same Oyinbo man that told you palm oil was bad for you did so because they don’t produce palm oil. But guess what? The soya oil they promote is because they can produce soya but soya is bad for men. It damages the male hormones.

The white mania not your friend, always question the motives of the white man. As a mentor once said to me when I got out of university, if you want to u derstand what is going on with the west, follow the money, ask who is making money from this.

The white man has a burning desire to reduce their dependence on energy from u stable or hostile countries. Their reserves of fossil fuels are dwindling. If you understand that you will understand the real reason they are pushing the green agenda.

Elated that there are still minds like yours that ask the important questions and know the real answers.

It's a capitalist move. Like you said "follow the money". They have found a new market to get their raw materials for cheap for EVs and people might not be buying EVs now but give it time, let the political part sink in. Some cities have stated that they will ban the use of fossil fuel passenger vehicles.

I think oil companies are now moving to sustainable energy

That's the new oil

Is petroleum engineering a viable course to study in big 2024? I don't think so.

But since time revealeth all things, we shall know 5 - 10 years from now.

My exact thoughts. Even when Saro-Wiwa was all over them and the bloodshed was at an all time high, Shell never conceded to the "challenging operating environment". WHY NOW that our leaders and elders have fallen flat and given them premium oil spilling packages for 0.001% shares in Shell?

Their shareholders/analysts have done the math. They've moved to sustainable energy, the new crude and have left the rubble for Nigerians, again, like how they left West Africa with dying slave trading business when they'd moved on to industrialisation.

Really? Tinubu, a compromised leader who is an agent for foreign interest/imperialism/neocolonialism wants Nigeria to become like China, a country that adopted socialism and Marxism and other pro-people ideas.

Does this Abubakar know that the punishment for embezzlement and corruption in China is death sentence?
Pick another country to imitate because in China, all of you will be dead by the end of your interviews.

uuzba:

Hmm. A sad one.
But what I've done so far in my life is to dress like Bill Gates. One Polo shirt and brown Chinos trousers.
This type of boring fashion is SO BORING that nobody will bother you with anything. Talk less of suspecting you as a cultist.

Why you do Bill Gates like that 😂😂
Sometimes it's not even about how you dress, just by being in a bolt ride even with your boring polo and chinos will warrant a phone search or worse.

Quick story. A couple of years ago, it was my friend's birthday, and so 3 of us, in our early 20s decided to contribute money to take a bolt ride and get pizza and a drink. You know, have a nice time instead of jumping from molue to molue.

Halfway to the pizza place, policemen stopped our bolt, interrogated the bolt guy and immediately they saw the situation, no questions asked, they instructed all 3 of us to get down and told the bolt to leave. Our confused selves protested but to no avail. The policemen were huge and they made caveman-like sounds as they got physical and dragged us into their black maria.

They locked the doors and accused us of being cultists. I believe they wanted us to get scared and just immediately ask how we can pay our way out. We pleaded that we weren't cultists, we even showed school ID. Again, futile. They proceeded to driving us to their police station. This was the first time in my life I was the one begging policemen to check my phone to clear the air because I'll be honest, I'd never walked through the gates of a police station before, it isn't quite the holiday spot. I was bewildered by the irony that THE POLICE WERE UNINTERESTED IN CHECKING OUR PHONES! Declining their favourite hobby! I knew then and there that we were in big trouble.

Upon arrival at the station, again, with cavemen-like sounds by the policemen, we were dragged into the station. The station looked like a shanty town and I think I heard cries somewhere in the walls. Now, I was fully on fight or flight mode, as my reality was very surreal. The policemen ushered us into a small office and we met at least 50 boys seated on the floor in front of one heavy inspector. He looked at all 3 of us head to toe and told his men to dismiss us.
And that was how we escaped what could have been an everlasting traumatic experience but we got off with just one or two days of nightmares. We went home and forgot about the birthday celebration.

Kizyte:
God knows I can never unlock my phone for any police officer to search without a search warrant, when I'm not under investigation.

NPF: Unlock your phone sir
Me: Why sir?
NPF: I want to search your phone
Me: Am I under investigation?
NPF: No sir
Me: Do you have a search warrant?
NPF: No sir

CASE CLOSED!

You : Am I under investigation?
NPF : Yes, you're a cultist
You : I am not a cultist
NPF : Then you're following us to the station
Drags you into their pick up van and drives you to unfamiliar roads. You start to panic and perhaps you break.
You : Where are you taking me to?
NPF : (silence)
You : What type of harassment is this, unlawful detainment. Oyah I've unlocked my phone.

Guy people suck, people fucck and people are full of sh!t
at times it's better to be by yourself and just be by yourself and have peace while you enjoy your own company.
You can be solo but not alone because you are in the company of your own self,

I don't know if am making sense?
you need to learn to make yourself happy by yourself before seeking happiness from another person.
Everyone is faking happiness and taking pictures and when you see that you think they are happy and you not so u get depressed.

The quickest way to snap out of inferiority complex is to put yourself first in everything before people.
In my mind i believe people don't exist, i don't care about people and i don't give a shit about what people think so i don't judge myself or my actions.

Lastly, you see that girl that you like call her number this night tell her everything you think and if she turns you down i want you to curse her immediately and delete her number from your history, life goes on.

You're definitely tougher than me. Even though I've mastered the art of making myself happy (and no not masturbation), from time to time, I still long for affirmation from people. I know I'm funny af, I even tell myself in the mirror but it feels 1000% better when it's the girl I like saying it.

Ok I'll take your advice on the last paragraph. I'll call her now.

dawnomike:
Welcome back to the real world... NYSC is your past now. Face the future!!!

Right. But you know when one leaves a loved one in anger and the loved one dies and the last words one told them is "I hate you". That's how I feel about my NYSC/CDS especially the POP where I left without even saying hi to anybody. I want closure.

I just rounded up my NYSC/CDS and it had it ups and downs, mostly downs so I thought I'd share a couple of thoughts.

(1) I SHOULD HAVE STAYED THE ENTIRE 3 WEEKS AT CAMP. I left camp on the first day because I was sick but I think I was being soft. I should have stayed. Because of that, I didn't make a single friend and so at CDS, it was so difficult to make friends despite attending consistently. If I had stayed the entire 3 weeks at camp, chances are I'd have built strong bonds with someone that'd be posted to my LG. And so, I was alone the entire 12 months at CDS. Some days I'd talk to guys at CDS but it just never stuck.

(2) I REGRET THE FIRST 2 GIRLS I TALKED TO AT MY CDS. The first girl, I saw that she was a loner like me and I talked to her, got her number and all that but she wasn't giving me good energy. The second girl, I thought she was cute and so I struck up a conversation and got her number. On getting home, she wouldn't pick up my calls, she was acting very weird. Even at CDS, whenever I tried to talk to her she would literally use evasive manoeuvres. This girl really did a number on me I couldn't even ask her why she was acting like that. I started feeling really weird and insecure.

(3) I SHOULD HAVE TAKEN MY FINAL SHOT. There was this one girl at my CDS that was actually taking glances at me unlike the two that I went to meet out of the blue, and I really liked her too but because of what had happened before, I was uninterested and also insecure. I just kept waiting for the perfect timing. I wasted about 3 months waiting for the perfect timing. Never even got to say the word "hi" to her.

(4) I REGRET LEAVING MY POP EARLY. Immediately I picked up my certificate this morning, I headed for the gate, almost didn't even take a picture with my cert. I actually thought of waiting but I didn't think there was anybody worth waiting for to congratulate plus it would be so awkward sitting alone on a stone. I cried a little on the journey home wishing I stayed back just to watch people be happy.

I know companionship isn't the main point of the NYSC but still as a human, I long for social connections.
I didn't make the best out of the NYSC at all and it makes my stomach turn. NOT ONE FRIEND! Almost wishing for a do-over. On the journey home, it dawned on me that I had just concluded a part of my life, I wouldn't be able to wear the white and green that makes everybody stare at me, I wouldn't be able to go for CDS anymore (even though I hated it), and I wouldn't see the girls again. The worst part is for some reason, towards the weeks of final clearance, everybody started warming up to me, I was finally able to show my humour that one guy asked "Are you in this LGA?" when people ask me that, I know it's that I would have been part of their clique from day 1.

Quick question, would I be considered a psychopath if I called the 2nd girl who was evading me to ask why? Also, the girl I didn't take my shot with, I found her no on the magazine, should I call to tell her I have a crush on her maybe it doesn't have to end with CDS?

Queengee:
All Nigerians are too avaricious, grabby and greedy, the level of covetousness of Nigerian people can be very disgusting to say the least.
I know lots of us here we tend to blame the Policemen but we equally do the same in our various field, ranging from churches, mosque, banks, hotel, restaurant, market etc. we priorities money more than our services to mankind

That's a feature of Capitalism, to prioritise profit/money over humanity. If we're talking about grabby and covetousness, the Europeans still come first. They industrialised covetousness.

If Sheffield know how to exploit the two 6 spaces between Konate and Szobozlai or VVD and Gravenberch, those spaces beside Mac Allister that he's too slow to cover, just like Fulham did last week and Chelsea have been doing since 2019 using inverted wingers, then Sheffield can guarantee themselves 2 goals. When opp carry the ball from the sideline to centre in that space during a counter, Liverpool centre backs are usually hesitant to do anything because the striker is probably also making a run at the same time. We suffer this thing for Sterling and Foden hand tire. Players that carry ball into pockets of space kill Liverpool.

But Klopp shows that he's levels below Pep sometimes when even he doesn't identify his weaknesses. Because of that 6 space, it's imperative that Liverpool invests in the best of DMs in the world who can show up defensively consistently to close up the space and also play out the back. Someone like Rodri.

I'm posting this as a response to the topic that made Nairaland front page yesterday; "See What Someone Bought With An Hour Minimum Wage In The UK £10", the link: https://www.nairaland.com/7929193/see-what-someone-bought-hour

UK & US ARE OVER-RATED NIGERIA IS STILL BETTER in terms of cost of living see a practical example why doing a price comparison: 1 pound to 1 naira today is N1,001 so are you saying with £10 x N1,001 = N10,001 you cannot buy everything in that basket and collect change in Nigeria today?

1 Sliced Bread = N800
2 Spaghetti = N1400
1 Gesha = N600
1 live chicken = N3,000
1 75cl soya Oil = N1,400
1 Midium size Butter = N600
2 Gino Tomato paste = N1,000

Total = N8,800 so your change is N1,200 that's if you exchange pound to naira at offical rate and buying at the most expensive stores or high brands. If you exchange at black market rate and buy at public market "days" you will collect as much as N6,000 after buying everything in that basket....that's about £6 left.

LET'S JUST THANK GOD FOR WHAT WE HAVE AND STOP LOOKING AT AND GLORIFYING ANOTHER MAN'S LAND MORE THAN OUR OWN....OUR OWN NA OUR OWN O

You people do not understand your reality is why you all sound like robots when things happen.

You live in a capitalist country/system where profit comes before everything, including humanity.
The best way to make profit from the man is after his death, right now he's not valuable. And we allow it so why you acting surprised?

Whereas in a socialist economy, humanity comes before profit. In fact it's the duty of the government to provide jobs for the citizens or pay them wages where there are no jobs.

If na Africa them for done chop am down… use am for firewood 🪵 since 1793.

We no really get value for such things!

Wrong. Africa used to value trees the most that we even had spiritual connection with certain trees until white people came with their imperialism, gaslightling us into thinking they were more civilised.

You are not alone young blud.
I'm 26 years old man and I sound like a 16 years old girl.
I hated it so much but lately I have learnt to accept it.

So we’re plenty 😂😂 I'm 26 too and I sound like a 12 year old boy. The worst part is I have the body of a 35 year old. 6'3, bloodshot eyes and bearded.

I get respect before speaking and then disrespected after I speak. Happens every time.

I get spoken over, I get awkward silences after I speak in the group of people, I can’t even convince anybody anymore. What’s painful is as a kid I used to have so much confidence because I was outspoken and all kids sounded funny so I fitted in. Now I don’t even shout.

Although, early in the morning, my voice is usually as deep as a lion's. I lose it by 11am like Ariel from The Little Mermaid lol.

codedgalaxy:
Stop talking.
Even though i have a deep voice, my words are always few.
Secoundly stop yapping at every convo,and even when you do speak, talk like you have all the time in the world, i.e make your speach slowly that way, they carry more weight.
Damn !

What if people keep quiet awkwardly after you’ve spoken slowly with tiny voice?

Tsimikas Otondo?
You goofed on that one.

His first half buddy. You no watch match?

Nlanalyst:

Two assists, Otondo? You funny Sha.
Tsimikas deserves an apology.

Oga his first half was nothing to write home about that's why he didn't get MOTM.

Playing 4 attackers especially when they’re playing very flexibly could mean a lot of loose passes and we’ve seen plenty from Liverpool but trust TRENT ALEXANDER-ARNOLD to calm the waters and read the attack. Although his defensive game still wobbles. He's the sole reason the attack is actually attacking.

Props to Gakpo too, he’s been everywhere and always making the right decisions. Very versatile player.

Jota seriously disturbing Brentford. His goal is loading.

Salah mehhhh. Nunez is showing spirit.

Tsimikas na otondo

When Klopp starts going under e go start to dey experiment like how e dey play both Gakpo and Darwin Nonsense together. How’s that supposed to work?
The only luck Klopp has is that it’s at Anfield if not e for be annihilation.
