Las las all of us go become farmer... 2025 Agenda

Haha nature has its way of always seeking balance.

Capitalism is unnatural and good thing it is also unsustainable because you can't satisfy greed in a world of finite resources.

Farming is natural. We all just lost our ways.

I'm quite young but I've read A LOT of books on ideologies, history and evolution. And I'm certain now that I must leave the city, go back to my state of origin, purchase a land in the rural area from the rulers in charge(the land should be given for free), build a little structure for myself to sleep(yes just one room and bathroom) and begin farming. This is what ALL GRADUATES need immediately after school. You can choose to take it or continue city life but the option MUST be there.

Purchasing the land now is my issue...

So I get my 1 year rent money within 5 days.

My wife don complain tire make we commot that house look for bigger house. But no. Mehn I can't come and be paying 1 million or above for rent.

We stay there until my salary reaches around 10 million a month

Good morning sir. I've got a HND in banking and finance incase there's an opening at your firm that requires my skills. I'm 27.

Factcheck0001:
a reasonable person earning 100k doesn't have a business staying in 650k house

That's madness, case closed

If one works on the island and want close proximity. All the apartments around the area start from 400k. There's a housing crisis especially in Lagos

Wow,When I had this it was very scary ,at a point I felt it was an heart issue ,I
Went for an ecg,went for a ct scan I was fine ,i just discovered I was having slight ringing then I felt like my world was spinning,I was able to pin it down to loud music while in the gym ,the headset I used wasn’t an original version and I always blasted on the highest volume for
3 hours to 4 hours while I work out at the gym ,one day I was on the thread mill and there was a big building in front of the gym I tried looking up and that was it ,I was dizzy and had to stop running if not I was going to fall,I taught it was hunger pangs I went to eat ,still didn’t feel better it was so bad I cudnt drive myself to
The hospital the first time I went to complain to a gp,but they ddnt have a clue even after I complained and did all the test.

I then decided to visit an ent and that’s when I heard what’s it’s called for the first time BPPV ( Benign Parosyxmal positional vertigo ) there is a also menerhis disease which has almost similar symptoms with Bppv as well but menerhis comes with hearing loss ,eventually I did some ear test,tynphanometry and another one I can’t remember the name and I had no hearing loss,my hearing was fine ,so menhiers was ruled out.

I did the epleys maneover in the hospital under the guidance of the ENT and I felt better ,she prescribed stugeron,betahistine hydrochloride and nicotinic acid for two weeks and I felt a whole lot better ,I also did the vestibular exercises which needed me to adjust my body to refocus,I was told the vestibular exercises would help me reposition the calcium crystals in the ear and get it back to its position .


I also spoke to my doctor gp friend and when I told him he mentioned too much screen time too also is a risk factor and makes it worse ,so he advised I reduced my screen time ,reduce my phones light especially when in a dark area ,also my sleeping position I was asked to sleep by my side and never on my neck ,avoid alcohol and caffeine and eat healthy foods .

I have done this for 1 and half months now and I have not taken those drugs again ,I still feel like that some times but once I do the vestibular exercise prescribed I feel a lot better and can carry out my days activity without any worry or fear .My doctor friend told me eventually my body readjust and I’ll be fine .

Of course no loud music,avoid clubs,lounges with loud music as those are the triggers once you have already have it and am sure you would be fine,so good to share this ,something as basic as this could cost people their lives if not properly managed,also to mention that before I saw the ent and the vertigo was very much I had to use a tablet of low does aspirin and when I told the ent about it she mentioned that Bppv also comes with accumulation of fluid in the ear and the low dose aspirin helped reduced this accumulation hence the relief I felt.

Lastly I forgot to mention I had to go traditional too which I won’t advise ,but I was desperate for a solution ,I used the water from a specie of snail I pressed it down in its shell and squeezed few drops into my ear ,this was prescribed by someone with similar issue ,not sure the science behind this but I know snail
Water is very medicinal so why not ,I had nothing to loose I just wanted to feel better and be able to carry out my day to day activity ,I used it for 5 days and stopped though .I can’t say if it worked ,it was very pricey one snail specie was sold for 5k I bought 4 at 20k ,I think I used only one or two .

I also chewed garlic when I felt this way 2 bulbs of garlic and it sends fire to my system,I must say garlic is very medicinal ,it really helped with that feeling of dizziness anytime I used it. It was just the smell that couldn’t make me use everytime.

I hope all this life hack helps someone feeling like this way and I wish you quick recovery.

It took me falling seriously sick to understand that humans were not built to do certain things.

The ears are not built to hear things at such close range. When I had mad anxiety and music would play from my speaker, I'd immediately get dizzy and I broke it down to understanding that my body was freaking out that someone was singing but how is that possible if I'm alone?

Our eyes not built to watch screens at all.

Our bodies not built to work 8 hours per day 5 days straight.

Our noses not built to breathe in synthetic air (air conditioning) .

That's why all these sicknesses are prevailing. Darn industrialisation!

Even though the EFCC was set up to investigate corrupt practices, I think the truth about the EFCC is that since it doesn’t have any constitutional backing, anybody who can pay enough or is powerful enough can control the EFCC as the person wishes like an attack dog. And the thing is the EFCC is actually highly funded and has all the tools and power to drill whoever it wishes to drill.

The ICPC is actually the constitutional institution that should investigate financial crimes but it's not funded, it almost doesn't exist.

So it is true that it is Europeans that set up EFCC (United Nations) just to check on the activities of Nigerians. Even when the EFCC(Europeans) investigates financial crime in Nigerian govt it is so that they can control the outcome.

Because when you think about it, financial crime investigation is the job of the ICPC but they always seem irrelevant.

Start by paying them a living wage, minimum 200k per month for the lowest rank. Next, make sure the payment is on time, e go shock you how police would suddenly love and value their jobs.

If they pay Police 200k, I'll literally submit my CV to the nearest police station tomorrow, been looking for a job with livable wage for months after my NYSC in Jan 24'. In fact, it'll be only clean and smart looking young people that'll be in the force afterwards.

Falana’s problem is that, he loves money too much and never considers the name he has built for himself over decades.

Same way Oba Elegushi paid him to cover up Mohbad’s murder.

Falana will do anything for money. He got no class or reputation to protect.

PLEASE NAIRALAND I NEED A GOOD JOB

I'm 27, Banking and finance/ HND lower cred. Completed NYSC JAN 2024. And I have very little work experience.

I've been sending out CVs since January and most of them are to shady/fake interviewers. Sent to all the recruiting banks as well but I haven't heard from them.

I don't know what else to do. Please I really need a good job around Ikd - Surulere - Ikj environs. I'm well spoken and a fast learner.

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.

JASONjnr:
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.

blacknp:
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 😂😂

casualobserver:
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.

InteliJ:
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?
