PoliticsFlashback To APC "Healthy Opposition" Against President Jonathan In 2015 (VIDEO) by DesChyko(op): 8:43pm On Jul 01, 2025
Here is a popular video of the kind of healthy opposition APC sponsored against Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.

According to popular opinion, the voiceover was done by an activist, who ended up having a seat at the table of the APC Presidency.

Furthermore, it was revealed that this video was sponsored by a US foundation.

Ttalk:
What you wrote is best meant for the dustbin. Which part is figurative in what Obi said. No na, even those that attend evening school will do better than this

In Two Years, Tinubu has not spent one night in any state in Nigeria apart from Lagos, yet he is going to spend 8 nights at St Lucia a place smaller than Ajegunle."-


What is figurative in this statement
Like I said previously, illiteracy is not only the absence of reading/writing skills. It is also the below-par presence of reading/writing skills. Did you even use the tools around you to explore before tagging me to this show of shame?

Kindly peruse the first figurative device drawn forth from the statement. You may want to consider evening classes though, my 2 cents.

A student once complained to me that one of his classmate asked him "Are you mad?". I asked him "what did you do after that?" He replied "I told her that I was not mad, she is the one that is mad." I asked him what department he is in, and he confirmed that he was in the "Arts department." I proceeded to teach him about the figurative "Rhetorical Question" in Literature, which is a question that does not seek an answer, but instead, passes information. I explained that she was trying to tell you that she doesn't like what you did/are doing, not questioning your sanity.

Illiteracy is not only the absence of reading/writing ability. It is also the below-par presence of reading/writing ability. The persons behind this fact-check are illiterates for completely missing the figurative use of words. You'd actually expect a writer to have these grounds of literary devices covered.

What is the aim of repeating this publication? We've gone down this lane before, No?
https://www.nairaland.com/8453256/vat-what-states-generated-what

That being said, VATs are not always remitted at the point of consumption but the costs are borne by the consumer and paid by the consumer at the point of consumption.

This data is flawed. I'll give an example. A company that produces canned meat to be sold all over Nigeria. The company remits the VAT where it is headquartered. But the canned meat is sold all over the country; and the VAT payers are all over the country. The same applies to every interstate goods consumers have to pay VAT on.

Quest7777:
This is just VAT.
It is chicken change compared to oil wealth being milked from South South to develop other regions.
You possibly don't know that places with high oil activities pay a humongous amount of VAT too.

FashionRe: Records Back Omokri’s Claim Linking ‘Okpu Agu’ To Colonialists by DesChyko:
seunmsg:
My ancestors have been weaving Aso Oke, dying adire and making damask long before a white man ever visited Africa. Isi-Agu and those red and colored winter caps were all gifted to the Ibos by Europeans and they simply adopted it as their cultural attires in the absence of any one before.
Yorubas (and Nupes) actually learnt both the art of weaving and materials used from the Hausas' turbans and robes (who were into this about 200 years before the Yorubas). The Hausas learnt it from Mali's Bogolanfini and Mande cloth, who learnt it from the North Africans Berber and Tuareg cloth. The actual origin was traced to Egyptian clothings from 1000BC. The Yorubas then passed it on to Ashanti in Ghana (Kente cloth) after about 200 years.

At the end of the day, it's a borrowed culture. This is made possible due to the Trans-Saharan trade route and spread of Islam plied by the craft artisans while migrating.

And, it's Igbos

HealthRe: You Are Killing Your Liver Slowly… And You Think It’s ‘just Malaria’ Every Time by DesChyko: 6:24pm On Jun 25, 2025
And if a complication arises from this, what exactly will I tell the doctor that I drank?

If there is complication after taking malaria drug, I can point to the company and it can be tracked using the batch number. If there is complications from this concoction which I prepared myself, what exactly will I tell the doctor when I come in as an emergency case?

I'm skeptical about herbs that the active ingredients and it's measurement, potency, and side effects are not clearly spelt out; a lot can go wrong.
PoliticsRe: Peter Obi Laments Demolition Of Brother's Business Property In Lagos (Photos) by DesChyko: 6:05am On Jun 25, 2025
My best friend bought a land in Lagos and shared the news with me. I just encouraged him for the move; it's a great one. He then told me they have other empty plots around too in case I was interested.

I just shook my head at that. If I even see opportunity to dispose the ones already at hand, I may even consider that because the terrain isn't all that favourable to us from down East like that.

It's a tricky decision for now.
PoliticsRe: Tinubu, Mother Went To Appeal To Babangida To Swear In Abiola (Max Siollun) by DesChyko: 6:10am On Jun 24, 2025
Two truths can co-exist. It is also said that Abiola had a deal with Abacha to come in through the back door, as an alternative to being democratically elected.

“I was returning from one of such trips to a prominent Emir one afternoon when I heard from my car radio Chief Abiola calling on General Abacha to come and ease Chief Shonekan as he eased out Babangida, I was shocked.
I called Chief Abiola and asked for an explanation of what I had just heard.
His reply was, “Mr. Chairman, I am very happy to have worked for you. You are a strong-willed man, but you see, if you want to go to Kano by road and you later decide to go to Kano by air, as long as you get to Kano, there is nothing wrong with that”. - SDP Party Chairman about his encounter with Abiola in 1993

Welcome to Nigeria, where incompetence is rewarded with a permanent residence.

How do we explain that schools that should be the source of knowledge will continue to blazingly misinform the children. By now many schools are preparing for what they call Summer Break and Summer Coaching. What is Summer about this period in Nigeria? If anything it should be Rain break or something. I will have issue with any school posting Summer Break.
Are you aware that the reason you're probably posting about this is because Summertime started today, June 21st and will continue until mid September. The break and coaching fall in this period.

Tychost:
See attached….. Also 54.7% of a population of 50 million is less total number of people compared to 48.3% of a population of 60 million people. Even though the South East has a higher percentage, the South West has a larger number of actual milk consumers due to its larger population. So since your original statement was that South Easterners consume more milk, I guess you can do the math here and see that’s not a factual statement.
Ah! That's actually correct when it comes down to hard numbers. Sorry, I didn't do the actual calculation but your point makes sense. South South would have been a good example too but their high oil and gas activity muddles things up. My intention was just to show that VAT payment by businesses is not as straightforward as it looks on paper.

Thanks for this perspective.
