Well done.

You communicated with your dad with respect.

Is it that older people dont understand the seriousness of sexual abuse? I'm frustrated that your dad is still talking of giving the boy a second chance. He has had several chances.

The boy must leave that house immediately, never to return.

Based on where things are today, labour is unlikely to get up to 10% in Ondo, Osun, Ekiti, Oyo, Kwara.

PDP should get up to 30% in each of those states. There are many die hard PDP supporters.

Surprisingly, PDP is likely to struggle in Lagos.

Things can change though, which knows.

Politics › Re: Ndokwa Youths In Delta State March For Bola Tinubu, Omo-Agege by DeLaRue: 2:51pm On Nov 02, 2022

Tinubu can make a lot of grounds in Delta, Cross River, Bayelsa, and Rivers.

If Tinubu works really hard campaigning in the SS, it is difficult to see how he will not get 30% of the votes in each SS State. May be Akwa Ibom is an exception, as I don't know what's going on there.

I have nothing against Northerners, but I just dont see many Southerners being motivated enough to vote Atiku to succeed Buhari.

Many Southerners, and indeed a large number of northerners want the presidency rotated to the South. Obi will benefit at the expense of Atiku.

Politics › Re: Not All That Glitters Is Gold: Naira Vs. Dollar, Which Is Stronger? I Take Naira by DeLaRue: 12:48am On Nov 01, 2022*

We all want the Naira to be stronger. No question about it.

But as the OP said, why must we base our sense of wellbeing entirely on what the currency of a foreign country is up to relative to ours. It matters, yes, but it's not everything.

I'm sure people in India, South Africa etc dont monitor the Rupees/Dollar or Rand/Dollar rate every hour the way millions of Nigerians do every day, which creates the hysteria which in turn feeds the panicky rush to buy even more dollars. - all the expense of the Naira.

If we want to support the Naira, let us first focus on doing things that are within our control - starting with producing more of what we eat. We are increasingly dependent on imports to feed ourselves. This over dependence is making us a slave to the dollar. Tinubu was right.

Those who want luxuries like iPhone (yes, it is a luxury) and others should be prepared to pay the high price. It's just a fact of life.

We import everything. Even things we produce enough of here, people will still rush abroad to import.

It's only in Nigeria that pre-election photo opportunity with a white junior government official is seen as an essential part of winning election in Nigeria.

You will never see Indian prime minister, South African, Turkish, or Brazilian presidents do this, because they have confidence in who they are.

Most Nigerians, however rich they are, suffer from acute inferiority complex.

The unprecedented level of violent personal abuse that Tinubu has been subjected to, mostly by people of a certain region, has quietly awaken greater support for Tinubu.

Up until a couple of months ago, Tinubu couldn't be certain of getting up to 60% of SW votes. But the vitriol aimed at him by some people is beginning to cause previously uninterested Yorubas to want to vote for him.

Some are even wishing fervently that the man would die. Over what na, ordinary elections? when there are other candidates you can choose to vote form.

The tide of sentiment is certainly turning in Tinubu's favour in the SW.

Right now, doctors are indispensable o.

I was at a State hospital (the biggest hospital in that state) recently and was shocked when the most senior doctor there told me there were only 3 doctors left in the entire hospital.

There used to be more than 20. Most have left the country.

This hospital treats several hundred people a day, and that excludes all those on admission.

The 3 doctors work about 16 hours a day, and are usually rushing back from home when there is an emergency. No rest for them.

We have to respect doctors.

I can imagine the type of work pressure on the few doctors left in these hospitals.

You have to respect the person that you expect to treat you, and that includes being patient and waiting your turn. Most doctors know when a case is urgent enough to justify jumping of a queue.

You cant start calling someone 's boss to report them for not treating you ahead of others. Not nice.

This is serious. Very serious for Atiku.

If Oyo people are motivated to come out to vote, that state can easily deliver more than 2 million votes.

OJEEMAH:
You no sabi ball aswear.

Eto didn’t send Henry to the flank. Rijkaad did to avoid causing problem. Meanwhile, Henry was already past his prime and he could operate from the wing unlike Eto.

If Eto joined Henry at Arsenal, he would have been benched or Wenger will tweak the formation to accommodate him by playing Henry from the wing.

Henry was actually not a centre forward in the traditional sense. At Arsenal, he preferred to play from the left side, though not as a traditional left winger.

So, in Barcelona, he was played more as a left winger which was not his preference.

It’s common sense and that’s what Rijkaad did

Till today, whether Ronaldo or Messi, I have still not seen any player that played football so elegantly and graciously as Henry.

Henry was also remarkably unselfish. If he had been like some ýof the current crop of strikers - particularly Ronaldo, he would have scored even more. Henry would be in a certain goal-scoring position, and he would still pass to a team mate out of generosity.

He was a more skillful and complete player, whereas Etoo was mostly an excellent goal scorer.

The only striker in the class of Henry in the past 30 years is the Brazilian Ronaldo.

Henry retired years before Etoo, but when that name, Thiery Henry, is mentioned today, one immediately thinks greatness. If you hear Etoo's name, you just think...yeah, fantastic goal scorer.

Etoo is almost forgotten. No one talks about him. He talks about himself and makes controversial statements to get attention.

PDP will tell you to start counting from 1999, as if 1960 - 1998 did not happen.

Atiku should not succeed Buhari. Otherwise a bad precedent will be set. After 8 years of Atiku, the same argument about it being 'a game of numbers' can be used again for another Northerner to succeed Atiku and so on it goes.

Are Southerners battling for an Atiku presidency on the alter of party affiliation unable to see the long term implication if the man wins?

It's ok if Mr Oseni, a young man, sleeps on duty. After all, body needs rest. So his supporters will say.

It's nothing to worry about if Mr Obi is caught sleeping in public. That too is fine.

These 2 holier-than-though, whiter-than-snow, 'men of the masses' can do no wrong.

Mr Oseni can even break the law and threaten Police - no problem.

Mr Obi can hide millions of dollars in his daughter's name in Panama, a country notorious for shielding dirty money from authorities - no problem.

But if Tinubu sleeps in public, it's because he is 130 years old, and all hell must break loose.

So, you would prefer that the government sounds no warning.

Do you know any government in the history of mankind that successfully relocated 3 million people because of possible flooding.

It is impossible.

Some state capitals in Nigeria do not have up to 1 million residents. So, where will Lagos state find the land and the resources to relocate people to a space the size of 3 state capitals.

Even the USA , the richest country in the world, can't do it.

Whatever it takes, people living in the affected areas should seriously consider moving out of those places temporarily until the danger subsides. Even if it means moving out children & their mothers, the elderly etc and your valuables for now.

Politics › Re: What Should We Do About This Unfair Rise Of Food Prices Bikonu?. by DeLaRue: 6:53pm On Oct 21, 2022

Government alone cannot solve the food problem, though they have a role to pay.

And to be fair, this government, through the CBN has put so much money into agriculture, with some good results e.g rice. But the reality is, many farmers have failed to pay back loans.So, the citizens are also part of the problem.

And then, there's the elephant in the room which no one wants to talk about - the population is growing too fast. We simply don't grow enough food to feed ourselves, so we have to import more food at great cost, using money we don't really have.

I agree with you that the problem is likely to get worse. Unless you think the government should start settling up farms - which would almost certainly fail, I don't think there are easy solutions in the short term.

Also, most countries in the world are experiencing high food prices presently, so Nigeria is not alone in this.

It is unfortunate that many are going hungry. We need to start addressing root causes - unsustainable population growth, poor, inefficient farm practices etc

How do you know Azikwe did not have a plan to endanger Islam.

And how do you know Tinubu has a plan to endanger Christianity.

You see how futile your position is. Unless you have special powers, there's no way of knowing who may or may not harm your interest.

Tinubu never harmed Christianity in Lagos all this time. Why would doing so across Nigeria suddenly become his target.

I think you are allowing yourself to be ruled by emotion.

As a Christian, I'd feel safer with a President Tinubu than a President Atiku. Shettima can't dictate to Tinubu, that's even assuming he's an extremist as many of you people claim.

One fact which people don't understand is that of the current generation of leading politicians, Tinubu is one of the most stubborn and single-minded. He will not be taken hostage by northern extremists. He will have no reason to take side with them.

And I think Tinubu will be a much fairer President to all regions than people expect.

A President Obi will be handicapped by the weight of civil war history if he goes hard and starts attacking extremists in the North, as it will awaken fears, however false, of Igbo revenge in certain quarters in the North. Tinubu on the other hand will be given the benefit of the doubt if he goes in hard on them.

If I was a Northern Christian, I'd put emotions aside and analyse my choices properly, and conclude that Tinubu is probably my best choice.
