DeepSight:
One day many years ago when I was a baby lawyer I was sitting in a hotel room in Calabar as I had gone for a case there. The power went off for a while and I was sitting in the dark. It was intensely dark, there was nothing to see no matter how one tried to adjust to the darkness. In those moments I had a few thoughts that stayed with me. The first was that I wanted my life to have deep meaning. Another one was that I wanted to see deeply into things seemingly covered in the dark. I have always loved ruminating on the meaning of life and philosophy. So "DeepSight" just came naturally when I registered here years ago.

I am no atheist. But I don't think anyone can decipher this existence and I think that is deliberate.

Anyone who has a clue about the size of the observable physical universe alone will know at once that humans should never presume to know jack.

Nice one.

As far the bolded...

Arrogance won't let many accept that obvious limitation.

They seem to believe the little they know explains all there is in existence.

Mods for here don craze o. Which kain poll dem set so?

Then the beneficiaries will add some of their money or go into other business. They are not complaining, so why are you?

Even with half a brain, anyone could see this is total nonsense.

That money would never be used for anything apart from feeding.

That some could be spent with targeted interests that'll benefit more than 2000 women. But they spread it too thin and call that aid?

These imbeciles no dey even see the uselessness of such endeavors.

You can just say it's support but it's still nonsense. If the government creates an enabling environment, the people won't even need their meager 50k to feed...

And they're busy disturbing those who want to work and who could be the driving force behind their being able to receive such free osusu?

Wonderment 🤔

All these market sellers...


Abegi...

Mattswaggz:
SA could face the ripple effects of how they've been treating other Africans recently and the image they've projected of themselves to other African countries soon enough....this is a country that Africans rallied behind and gave them all forms of supports during apartheid and this is how they chose to pay them back while turning a blind eye to what could be regarded as the real threat (the whites) controlling most of the critical infrastructures and economy in their so called "country" .

Nonetheless....provided this protest is a peaceful one,then there is nothing wrong with it....at least they have the courage to demand what they want those they elected into office to do unlike a certain west African country that's been declining at an alarming rate....in all thy doings, do things in the right way and remember that there is tomorrow and in that tomorrow,the tables could turn.

Just as it was said... The idle mind, is the devil's workshop.

These lazy youths have somehow found a purpose in their miserable good for nothing lives.

Heavens knows it'll take a lot to make many see them in any positive light.

A misguided generation. They can never amount to anything.

Yet some animals on this forum is defending letting these beasts in human skin roam free in the name of repentance...

Abegi, no be everybody be human being...

This one dey complain.

Come jakande come see... People paid over 800m yet would need to enter water and swim before they come out from the estate.

Me kukuma tell my guy to get boat too. Me no fit go that their island go buy house. Plus the osusu go reach me get over 3000 standard houses in the mainland... Hahaha, 3000, I no joke 😂😂🤣🤣

America has a sex offender as president...

E no shock me, na dem dey bring all the depravity for the world in the name of woke.

The animals...

Gods, what an idiot...

This one no come even get shame dey show his stupid face for public.

Oya, oyibo police, he don confess, go arrest the animal.

India, because It does not have a Nigerian rooted tribe as part of its indigenous population.

Dey there, Nigerian men are there today, making children like there's no tomorrow. Very soon we'll have descendants of the motherland everywhere in that contraption.... Lols


I don monkey about wella today


Ah, gods abeg o 😁😂😂

DEMOO07:
You have made your points and this shows you really understand what mama tinubu said. But because you guys purposely don't want to accept or tend to be mischievous you continue dragging her. All what you mentioned are another category of sets of people. Is not those sets mama were referring to or handlings. This made your argument shallow. There is no time we don't have the poor and all the categories and there is no amount you cannot start business with.

The bolded is true.

But all these things are linked. You can't mention one and leave the other. I am on ground experiencing these things, they're not.

I've had a sister I bought sewing machine for harassed to pay some dubious tax because she went to buy at alaba market. She was held down until she complied. I've seen POS operators who stand to do their business pay tax and whatnot, even hawkers. So I kid you not, these women would still share whatever profits made with their thugs they permitted to punish their people they claim to be helping.

I mentioned all these as that's the reality on ground.

As per the first lady's talk, I personally have contradictory views on it as I started my own business with 30k back in the day. That's in 2010 or thereabouts. That same amount won't get you much today in my line of business.

My worry also rests on their usual character of inflating such give aways and calling them achievement.

The government should not just dish out funds like that but be inclusive in making sure things are done with the funds. But because they want to use that as an excuse to move more funds, they wouldn't care how the matter later ends.

Plus, in their circles, you sure say any of them go agree to receive 50k? This people are buying houses and cars for their underlings. Yet they tell everyone else the country is poor. What happened to not spending unnecessarily and cutting down on expenditure to forward more productive issues that'll help the economy?

That is my problem with it all... Otherwise, doing akara business and others, wetin bad for there? Without those below, you think there'll be any above?

Abegi, I no talk again on this matter.

ogascomax:
Tell your government to rebuttal what has been said Dundee United like you.

amechispeaks:
I'll do that for sure. You can also help me reach her in your own little way by copying the link and title of this article and posting it on your social media pages, then ask your followers to share. Or help me tell Nairaland moderators to place my article on the front page to reach more readers. That'll give it a better chance of being seen. I go message the mods on my own. God bless us all in what we do.

I'm not active on social media o.

Even NL, na only here I dey run fingers o.

I'll share with my WhatsApp contacts sha.. if them repost, lucky you

Legitiscool:
Mr TACO don't tell us all this noise na to justify backing out of fighting christian genocide


There is no success recorded so far as the northern Christians told you recently

unless tinubu don pay you off from cashing out on Nigeria christians

The man too talk and those who talk too much tens to lie a lot...

No proof of these claims. I believe if there's any, oga Trump would show the whole world. The braggart..

In not many words ..

amechispeaks:
Thanks for the compliment boss. In fact, if Remi Tinubu hires me as her speech writer, I don hammer for life be dat o. Amen!

Oga which one is "if"...

Go find way make this ya write-up reach her. Attach ya CV.. who knows wetin fit happen?

But you'll never know unless you try. Abi how these motivational speaker dem dey talk am?

Lols 😆

1, 4 and 5 fit make anyone break even. Especially if you get better market.

You must start selling to ya neighbors and place of worship first. Grow that 50k.

I personally started with 30k back in the days but hey I collect loans later on o...

Start first sha and waka waka wella. As that was how I got my customers. Mine na night market so na every 8pm I dey start waka till maybe 10 before I go house.

Small beginning dey hard. Wetin no dey even hard sef?

Smh

I forgot to mention what I could get for 30k back then is now worth over 100k in my line of business.

Smh

Like I said, the woman has given content creators a field day.
Your write up no bad sha...

You should go apply to write her speech, make she stop to dey annoy people as her current speech writer na total idiot.

Infact, her entire pr team na werey. Them just let the fine woman fall hand. And she too na olodo for not seeing the nonsense.

If the government is cutting down cost of governance and working in transparency, every meaningful Nigerian will volunteer to manage as long as even the president and his family and cabinet are going through the same magnitude of suffering the entire 248 million Nigerians are going through.

Nigerians are not gullible to the point of not wanting their country to grow but tribalism is the weapon your politicians have used to keep all of you in check...

You see that bolded ehn

, if you dey near me, I for buy bottles of udeme for you...

There has been precedent of countries doing that and it shows from how the leaders cut down on expenses for themselves, cabinet and everything..

Over here, this woman go buy cars for women leaders and I'm sure their accounts won't be left out, osusu go drop. Now she come share 50k (wey Dem go later inflate to billions for empowerment) come dey advise her ghosts to go sell akara... (Not like the women dey sell akara before o, say she dey support o)

Yet, such wen fit even decide to hawk for bus stop but her husband boys go dey there dey collect part of the women sweat. No be juju be that...

They're squandering everything even the borrowed funds yet Dem say make people dey chop agbado, akara ati kulikuli...

Yet some good for nothings see am as normal talk.

Enemies of Nigeria, una dey see una life?

Is this supposed to be news?

Who doesn't know that?

You're Charles Oputa, Charlie Boy is a brand. That's no news na.

But like we Nigerians always are, we associate some names to things and people even if we know the actual matters.

Even today, phcn is still being called NEPA... Nahtin anybody can do about that...

Abegi 🤧

For this country? You sure say those criminals go gree?

Them go be like: where did you buy this scrap from? Did we give it to you? This thing can work abroad but is abroad electricity and Nigeria own the same? Who even installed it for you?

You go answer jamb question o..

Lwkmd 🤣🤣🤣

The gods just bless Mr Ekene Dili Chukwu... Surviving such is a blessing. Many don go from there.


First sue madam and collect compensation. Then sue the estate again for another compensation.


My advise is simple, if you can't discretely erase a thief, hand them over to the police. The law frowns on beating even a thief. The law prefers to be given the power and choice to choose who they'll erase. Imagine a thief shot by the police. He'll be treated and taken to court for the courts to give a death sentence....

Why the front and back? Just do the needful once you're sure it's a proven armed robber.

It was never really about akara.

It was about frustration.

It was about a growing feeling that ordinary Nigerians are being asked to endure more sacrifices while receiving less hope in return.

Nobody is saying small businesses are bad.

Nobody is saying people should be ashamed of humble beginnings.


What Nigerians are saying is simple:

Stop weaponising poverty.

Stop making hardship look normal.

Stop treating survival as success.

Build an economy where people sell akara because they choose to, not because they have no other option.

A nation cannot continue to measure progress by how creatively its citizens cope with suffering.

The true measure of progress is how many people no longer have to struggle just to survive.

This is the exact point but their supporters won't see it.

I mentioned how this handout would later be used as an excuse to embezzle more and the real amount given out would add up to gods-help-us figures... Then they would claim they've empowered some ghosts.

Many of us grew from the streets of Lagos and our mothers sold some of these things (mine didn't though)... I had friends who even helped their mothers to hawk back then.

But the way it was dished out is improper. Coming from someone whose family is instrumental in the increase of the current hardship. Someone who buys cars for women leaders of their party of evil-doers.

Abeg, the masses can fight all they want but they should never pray a barbarian like my Royal Self gets his hands on the tools, else...


If this family is truly serious, they should first remove their thugs from the roads. Nurtw should only be stationed at specific parks and have a stated amount they take. The monies they collect everywhere don't even reflect on the roads. So what were the collections for? They trouble even hawkers and those who stand at bus stops doing POS operations.

What are all these collections for that we don't even have good roads?

Where the madam expect them to go even sell the akara? She dey send them to their thugs wey dey everywhere as she dey advise Farmers to go to farming when she, her husband and their entire party of evil-doers don put men with guns for bush.

Weed don make this one dey daydream again...

Gods abeg o 😁😂

Like that werey Ourtruth247 has always prophetically said.. They'll show you what they're doing and what they want to do. These things have been in the movies and these wereys would gradually achieve it with the permission of the useless masses.

That baby dolls matter really touched me deep. How can a sane person believe abusing a life like baby doll would relieve their stress and depression? However I think about that nonsense, it never makes any sense but the masses are seeing it as something sensible. Who'd now question the Epstein evils now, when in the subconscious, they've already given in to such depravity?


I just dey pity my descendants as they'll be the ones to really suffer this evils of the shadow controllers when it reaches its climax.

SMH

When we say the scarcity on earth is artificial and is for control, most people will tag us conspiracy theorists.


See ordinary water now, this big boy say the one una dey drink too much. Instead, e wan use am dey warm machine. Plus say rivers and the oceans dey there o. E no think of ways to use those, na the small one wey humans dey manage use dey his eyes.

Chai, the gods must truly be crazy...

Authority1o1:
The debate as to whether the ₦50,000 empowerment made by Remi Tinubu, Nigeria's First Lady, is simply based on a realistic economic calculation and the acknowledgement of the existence of lower class will not end if a breakdown is not given.

So, what can such an amount afford for someone who wants to really go into akara business?

Here is a breakdown:

1. Gas cylinder (3kg): ₦25,000
2. Cooking gas (3kg): ₦1900 × 3 = ₦5700
3. 1 painter of white beans (depending on the location): approximately ₦5000
4. Groundnut oil (2 litres): approximately ₦4500
5. Medium-size frying pan: ₦11,000
6. Utensils and containers: ₦10,000
7. Ingredients (pepper, salt, Maggi etc): ₦2000
8. Beans grinding cost: say ₦500 per round.

TOTAL: ₦63,700

VERDICT: Even for low income earners, ₦50,000 is insufficient to start akara business.

Lols...

You forgot to add space for selling. Their thugs even take tax from hawkers.

Those in support of such dumb words from a supposed first lady, I no know how I go address them.

Before you know it, this 50k given out would somehow amount to 500billion for empowerment and be called an achievement. The people wey dem empower, nobody go see.
