Travel › Nigerian Connection In Northern Ireland by dewiseacre(op): 2:32pm On Aug 27, 2022
Hello Fam.

A good friend is leaving for Northern Ireland in a few weeks and looking for a connection there to help him settle down. The school is Ulster University, Belfast Northern Ireland.

He is open to host family, homestay options in that locality just so he is able to settle in well.
Let's help a brother. You can reach him via
jibrin22.nja@gmail.com to discuss how best to go about this.

Thanks people!

Adeleke has nothing to offer...

He's just another Rochas Okorocha In the making! An affluent individual testing the might of his wealth in politics and popularity! The victory in Osun is a family and political party victory (they've started partying and dancing already), not a victory for the people! Adeleke will only further enrich his family and cohorts, rather than structure the state for great things.

Unfortunately, many here and other platforms I've seen are still shrouded under the mist of party politics...they still think it's APC vs PDP. The enemies of the people are all the above! Our major problem in Nigeria are the individuals we've surrendered politics to as a nation. They are the ones who keep tossing the people to and fro for power, prestige and wealth accumulation.

Until technocrats begin to take power and review our systems, structures and policies for the good of all, we will continue to end up with this kind of comic - leaders with dance steps that make the people feel jolly - and not ones with a plan their children, and children's children.

Politics › Re: Tinubu: If Elected President, I’ll Work On Ensuring 24/7 Power Supply by dewiseacre(m): 11:37pm On May 29, 2022
People, ask yourselves...

Why would someone as influential and powerful (as acclaimed) wait till he becomes president to provide a solution that the nation needs to move forward economically? People are dying every day but he wants to become president before he can proffer a solution to banditry and insecurity. His ambition comes first before the people!

Imagine if he had come up with this 24/7 electricity blueprint like 3 years ago and passed on to his puppet in Aso Rock to implement. If Nigerians were enjoying that constant power today, this old man would not need to stress himself campaigning. His success would have automatically paved way for him. Abi??

Sports › Re: FG Suspends Basketball In Nigeria For Two Years by dewiseacre(m):
I know the crisis between the two factions have lingered for so long but do you break your head because of a headache? A whole 2 years?

No consideration whatsoever for stakeholders (local players) at the lower rung of the ladder. What plans are in place to chart a better basketball after the 2 years?

Power corrupts; absolute power corrupts absolutely!!

This is just abuse of power, simple.
"I'm the head, whatever I say is final" mentality of all our old leaders!
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: How An Employer Sacked A Job Seeker Immediately After Giving Him A 250K Job by dewiseacre(m): 2:53pm On May 08, 2022
I have noticed that one of the reasons most Nigerians are not critical thinkers is because of heuristics. In this case they're judging the interviewer because of the interviewee's side of the story.

- What if it wasn't the emoji in itself, what if it was the "reaction" to the discourse about remuneration (money)?

- What if the interviewer had made up his/her mind at some point during the interview that the interviewee wasn't good enough for the job but only wanted to "formally" end the chat with the usual salary question?

- What if the interviewer's a midget and felt insulted by the character representation in the emoji, not necessarily because the interviewee shared a 'happy emoji'?

- What if this never happened in the first place?

- What if I am the interviewer in this story?

- What if the complainant didn't mention the key areas of the conversation where he goofed but chose to make y'all focus on a bad employer who hates emojis??

What if??

One of the demands they put on the table when they met Tinubu.

The man's modus operandi - buy some few influential people (cohorts) to his side, use them to manipulate and influence thousands of others, while further using his position and connection to impoverish and milk millions.

Our politicians are not after the welfare of the nation but themselves and anyone they can use to keep absolute power to themselves. Power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely!
Politics › Re: Kaduna Train Attack: Tinubu Donates ₦50 Million To Injured Victims by dewiseacre(m): 10:53pm On Apr 05, 2022
Will N50 million or N50 billion buy back the lives snatched away? They keep stealing our money and feign philanthropy. They are bereft of ideas, systems and structure to move us forward...this stolen money is all they have and why they want to continue to keep power to themselves. Buhari always expresses shock, if this one becomes president, his own will be to be donating money up and down after lives are not as a result of their ineptness to fix things.. they only occupy space!

Mr Tinubu, as one campaigning for presidency flying agbada from west to north, south to east, what SOLUTION can you proffer to solve this scourge of terrorism in our land?

Nigerians, think! Think! Especially the gullible ones on this forum who turn everything to tribal war (I'm Yoruba if anyone cares to know)...the political class is our problem in this country...they're not after selfless service, fixing the nation, or building structures for tomorrow. They're after power and amassing more of our wealth. They are less than 20,000 but tossing the lives of our 200 million people to and fro.

Nigerians, think!!! The trends are there for all to see but many of us keep thinking with our stomachs and only sleep with our brains!
Politics › Re: Abuja-Kaduna Train: We Will Not Pay Them Ransom – El-Rufai Reveals Identity by dewiseacre(m): 10:37am On Apr 02, 2022
These terrorists will continue to be a step ahead of our old men with aging brains

- They'll keep kidnapping and holding their victims hostage, that way, government can't just do some carpet bombing of their location.

- That forest is their enclave and nobody from the outside can easily defeat them in gorilla or ground warfare. So only soldiers on a suicide mission will choose this option.

- Even if the government doesn't want to negotiate or pay ransom (either because it's not their family members being held, or because they don't want to openly be seen as weak/negotiating with terrorists), ransom payments will continue for those who see it as the only way to get out their families alive.

- Some of these leaders in government are apologists, tribalists, and others in the name of 'political opposition' are most likely linked directly or indirectly with these bandits.

This cell is already cancerous!!
Politics › Re: Beyond Tolling: How LCC Brings Value To The Society by dewiseacre(m): 1:15pm On Mar 24, 2022
Thank God some of us have lived in these developed countries. That those societies have these infrastructure doesn't mean that when they are "copied and pasted" here, the motives are the same!

If LCC built 3rd Mailand bridge, they probably would have installed toll points at each end.

zainabicy:
The truth is uncomfortable and bitter.

I haven’t seen any developed country without tolled bridges or roads. Government cannot do everything, they have to invite private investors to solve some problems and collect their money back from the masses.

If LCC toll does not resume, it would be used as a negative pointer for other long term investment in capital infrastructure in Nigeria.
Politics › Re: Beyond Tolling: How LCC Brings Value To The Society by dewiseacre(m): 12:56pm On Mar 24, 2022
Shameful as usual! And such effrontery!

How do you roll out the basic responsibilities of a State government and put now as the JD of a private/ pseudo-government company just to justify money collection? All of a sudden, LCC has become the state government and those Lekki tollgates are tax collection centres.

Sadly, a largely uninformed society with charlatan politicians!
Politics › Re: Sanwo-Olu Launches Lagos Ride Taxi Scheme, Lists Features by dewiseacre(m): 12:22pm On Mar 24, 2022
I have been on Nairaland for over a decade, but today is the first time I'm reading from a man who wears my kind of hat!

I don't you in person, but you're truly wise and exposed!

joey150:
You cannot solve mass transportation in an already congested and overpopulated city like Lagos by sharing "uber taxis."

What do these silly politicians see when they travel abroad?

Don't they see an urban bus and ticketing system?

Don't they see dependable overhead and underground train systems?

Don't they see ferries and inland waterways transportation?

Are you going to convey all of Lagos in those cars? Adding even more traffic to an already congested city? If anything, a forward thinking government would be thinking of ways to get more cars off the roads of Lagos than more cars on it.

Apart from the fact that the money for most of those cars will never be recouped, this ride taxi scheme is a white elephant project that was established to enrich a few government officials by way of bogus contracts and free cars.

Politics › Re: Former Super Eagles Players Visit Bola Tinubu (photos) by dewiseacre(m): 1:10am On Mar 20, 2022
Our problem in Nigeria is the political class (APC, PDP and co.)!! They have no plans for the progress of the nation but their pockets, families and cohorts. Unfortunately, the gullible who sing their praises are a majority.

Second is illiteracy and exposure, which fuels tribalism. People still think it's about one tribe vs the other, and are selling their children children's future to be mortgaged by their own kindred.

Lastly is poverty, which makes us drink religion like water and sell our dignity for morsels of bread.

To save this country would need a miracle in the same class as Jesus walking on the sea!
Education › Re: Abdulmalik Tanko: School Proprietor Who Killed 5-year-old Hanifa Abubakar Pleads by dewiseacre(m): 9:35pm On Jan 22, 2022
chatinent:
By the way, sb who called himself a journalist is asking a murderer who poisoned the little girl that “before the child died, did she complain of stomach pain??” No, she was giggling. Ewu Morocco.

The kinds of halfbaked journalists we parade in this country tho.
Well, I am not arguing about your Nigeria's half-baked journalists submission, but let me give at least 2 reasons why such a seemingly "foolish" question was valid in this case -

1. If the accused had answered in detail with vivid description, his EMOTIONS at that moment would have confirmed if he was remorseful or not. How would a man with conscience describe such a moment without breaking?? Ignoring the question (which he did) or answering it with a simple 'yes' would be a sign of aloofness.

2. If he chose to answer in detail, we would have been to deduce if there was anything amiss. Guess what? The poison story might be untrue. It actually might be his strategy to make himself look 'less' heartless.

So in reporting (journalism) or criminal investigations (policing), there's always the need to apply PSYCHOLOGY, which would often prompt these kinds of 'foolish' questioning.

Family › Re: #DowenCollege: Bad Parenting Vs Bad School Training. Which Is To Blame? by dewiseacre(m): 2:03pm On Dec 05, 2021
It's bad parenting 100%. That's the foundation!

Guess what? The school is just a building made of people, of which are parents! The structures you put in place in schools to discourage all manner of vices are supposed to be put up by parents, or at least those who understand parenting i.e. caring for children. So everything will always still fall back to parenting!

My kids attend a private school in Lagos and they come home to tell me how ill-mannered some children of the expatriates behave (probably mirroring how their parents treat their Nigerian house-helps). It's the failure of parents to start of their kids right, then assuming that a school system will fix them. They'd rather influence other kids negatively in the school

Japan has probably the best educational system in the world because they teach values, manners, respect, honour, etc. at home to their growing kids before ever sending them off to school!
Jobs/Vacancies › Re: Police Resumes Recruitment Of 10,000 Personnel, Opens Portal Monday by dewiseacre(m): 2:38pm On Oct 17, 2021
Policing is not by just quantity, it's quality. Our leaders in all government agencies are 35 years behind their counterparts in developed societies. They put the lives of innocent Nigerians in the front line in the name of giving them jobs, and mentally vitiate them till they become crooks with guns!

Nigeria police is brute force and harassments with AK47s; modern day policing is about good pay, psychology, intel, street-smart, technology and sophisticated weaponry.

Nigeria, I pray for your deliverance!
