Nigeria is doomed.

Not at all... Maybe if I have facilities to do so! Do you?

BRIMBRAM:
Do you intend to go into garri business?

You don't just pick just any person as your senate President because of where he hails from. You also need to consider if he's a stamp duty (do as I say) kinda person or someone who would fight you. So, viewing from things, right now at this very moment, it will be very hard for the South west to trust anyone from the southeast to do anything the president says.

you can't play a good game with an altered mindset.

This content defines Nigerians at large. You could be reading the definition of yourself as this is an analysis based on the majority.

Back when I was in school in 2013, we had a special talk by a professor from Norway. He had traveled around Nigeria for a very long time, about 20 years! After his talk, he shared what he learned about Nigerians, especially those in the southern parts of the country. He found out that garri was a very popular food that people loved to eat.

But here's what surprised him: Nigerians had been making garri the same way for a very long time. They didn't change the way they processed cassava into garri or how they stored it. The problem with this was that sometimes the garri got dirty because many people touched it, and rats even pooped on it sometimes! But even with all that, people still ate it, even if they knew about the rat poop. Can you believe it?

The professor also saw that when garri was sold in the market, it was exposed to flies, bad weather, sneezes from sick people, dirt from shoes, lizards, and even pets!

So, the professor wanted to help. He started teaching people how to package and store garri in a better and safer way. He traveled to different states and held many classes. Some people listened to him and started making garri using modern methods and packaging. But you know what happened? After 13 years, he realized that most Nigerians still preferred the old way of making and selling garri. They didn't buy the garri that was nicely packaged in factories. This made it hard for those companies to keep going. Some of them had to change their plans and sell garri in big bags instead of fancy packages.

This made the professor wonder about Nigeria. Why were people resistant to change at home but open to it when they went to other countries?

In the end, the professor realized that this problem wasn't just about garri. It went deeper and affected many other things in Nigeria like politics, technology, and economy. Nigerians seemed to like doing things the same way they always had, without trying new and better ways.

This is like being stuck in a box!

The professor also noticed that when Nigerians traveled to other countries, they were more open to doing things differently. They liked trying new things and changing their ways. So why was it so hard to do the same thing at home?

To sum it up, this story shows that Nigerians really love their traditions and find it difficult to change, even when there are better ways. This doesn't just affect garri, but many other things in Nigeria too. If we can understand this and start being more open to change, it will help our country grow and improve.

Following the motion for withdrawal by the Action Alliance and her Candidate, Solomon David Okanigbuan against INEC, Tinubu, APC and Hamza Al-Mustapha, the tribunal will be saddled with the responsibility of dismissing same first before sitting on the four (4) Petitions listed in no order of importance.

1. Action People's Party v. Bola Tinubu, APC & INEC (CA/PEPC/02/2023)

2. Peter Gregory Obi & LP v. INEC, Tinubu, APC & Kassim Shettima (CA/PEPC/03/2023)

3. Allied People's Movement v. INEC, APC, Tinubu, Shettima & Kabiru Masari (CA/PEPC/04/2023)

4. Atiku Abubakar & PDP v. Bola Tinubu, APC & INEC (CA/PEPC/05/2023)

The President of the Court of Appeal, Justice Monica Bol'nan Dongban-Mensem is expected to name the 5-man panel to preside over the petitions.

During my school days in 2013, my department organized a seminar where a Norwegian professor was invited to present a paper. At the end of his reading, he decided to share his observations and views about Nigerians, as he had toured around Nigeria for 20 years. In his two decades of exploration, he discovered that garri, particularly in the southern states, was a common and popular food.

However, he noticed that the people had maintained the same traditional method of processing cassava into garri for ages, including the storage method. This method posed some safety concerns because, as the unpackaged garri moved from person to person, it was exposed to many dirty hands. In some cases, rats would defecate on it, yet it would still be consumed, even if the consumer was aware of the contamination. He also discovered that at the markets where garri was sold, the food was exposed to pecking flies, cold and wet weather, sneezes from sick people or allergic reactions, footwears carrying sand, lizards, pet animals, and more.

Motivated to help the people, he embarked on a mission to educate them on how to package and store processed garri. He conducted numerous seminars across different states, and to some extent, he succeeded in inspiring some people to professionally manufacture, process, and package garri. However, what did he discover 13 years later? He found that most Nigerians still preferred the locally processed and unpackaged garri. As a result, some garri companies faced financial difficulties because fewer people were buying their industrially packaged garri, leading to a decline in their numbers. Those who couldn't close down switched to wholesale in "local big bags" rather than the advanced packaging they had initially adopted.

This revelation led him to uncover more profound problems in Nigeria. It became clear to him that this attitude was not limited to the food sector alone but permeated all sectors, including politics, technology, and the economy. He realized that Nigerians were reluctant to try doing the same things differently or from an improved perspective. They seemed content with sticking to the familiar pattern as long as it served its purpose.

This represents the issue of being "stuck in a box."

Shockingly, he also discovered that the same Nigerians who were resistant to change in their homeland quickly adapted when they traveled to foreign nations. But what could be the problem at home? He asked.

In conclusion, this narrative highlights a deep-seated tendency among Nigerians to cling to traditional practices and resist change, even when presented with better alternatives. This mindset has implications beyond the realm of garri production, extending to various sectors of Nigerian society. Recognizing and addressing this resistance to change can open doors to growth and progress in the country.

Totally agree

Church of today (children of nowadays who are now pastors) only preach money as righteousness. If you're poor you won't make heaven in today's churches. The church has lost focus.

cutecommend:
What church do you go to? Is it the church that brings comedian on the pulpit for jesting, and then towards the end of the service, they do an altar call for repentance? Or is your church the one where you will be living together with your girlfriend or boyfriend, and fornicating with him or her always, while your pastor knows about it and still commends your service in church? Or is your church the one that always talks about vision, purpose, goals, achievements, praise, happy life, marriage, faith, prayers e.t.c, but never tells you about the coming of Christ, eternity, holy living, Rapture?

I will encourage you to be in a genuine church that will preach messages to you for your transformation, not just for earthly prosperity alone, but for your being conscious and prepared for eternity.

Again, pray well and let God lead you to the right church that He wants for your soul, spirit and body. Don't just go to any church because they are preaching about hell fire, holy living, rapture and eternity; but go based on the fact that God has led you to such a place for your eternity preparation.

Let them get away! When they were rigging for a Muslim Muslim ticket, what were they thinking? They're still thinking that they'll occupy all top positions with Muslims and expect peace and unity in the country? This is the only country where the Christians in it are dumbbells. Look at how Muslims are claiming right from Presidency, vice and now to NASS. Let's just know that the country is now an Islamic Republic so that others will find their way. They don't even know what they're walking into because this time around, even Niger Delta wilk join the agitation struggle

It's normal. Just make sure he has your preferred name on his school documents and let his school friends call him by your own preferred name because that's where he'll spent most of his time. That's all.

As for me, my father has a name he calls me, my mother has hers, likewise my grandmother and grandfather (all departed). It's totally normal and trust me, if your in-laws don't have any name different from yours for your children, just know that they don't love the child that much.

Hi everyone, I will appreciate ur advice...

My son is 2yrs old , when he was born I and my wife named him Charles but my wife's mother and father can't stop calling him Daniel, when ever my son is at their place for holidays or visits, they call him Daniel and all their neighbors and friends now call my son Daniel.

I remembered I told my wife about it and her mother heard and felt bad, he is my son and not theirs, I understand grandparents give their grand children names too, I have a name from my grandparents but they call me by the one my parents gave me...

Penguin2:
You recall that Osinbajo recently held a book launch. It was in that book launch that the former Emir of Kano, Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, said, in a speech, that Nigeria lost in not making Osinbajo president.

That speech generated a lot of ripples in the Tinubu camp, as expected, but men of conscience know that the Emir said the truth.

But away from SLS’ speech, another significant thing that happened in that occasion is that the Vice President opted to invite Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie to that book launch despite her recent open letter to the president of the United States, Joe Biden, against the conduct of the just concluded Nigerian election which led to a lot of brawl between her and the APC camp, or should I say the Tinubu camp.

Now, before Chimamanda Soyinka was. And this expression is true both in age, attainment of literary success and in dabbling into the conduct of the elections.

Just in case what I said above isn’t clear enough, I am saying that when it comes to literary success, that Prof Soyinka won his Nobel Laureate in Literature when Chimamanda was still possibly in Primary School. So if anyone wants to honour or invite people who have achieved literary success, Soyinka should be considered first. But Osinbajo had other ideas.

Osinbajo opted to invite Chimamanda to his book launch after she had written an open letter against the conduct of the election, granted an interview on national TV against the govt which Osinbajo is the Vice President in, and even exchanged some banters online with supporters of Tinubu.

Now, not only did he extend an official invitation to her, he also posed for photographs with her and caused same to be released in the internet.

So, what message do you think was Osinbajo trying to send because only shortsighted persons would think it was just a book launch.

And they will expect the same Tinubu to gi e them senate President. Lmao

Igbo Leaders Warn Against Swearing-in Tinubu Before Court Judgement
by Igho Oyoyo 4 hours agoReading Time: 2 mins read



Ahead of the May 29, 2023 handover due date, Igbo leaders under the auspices of the Igbo Patriotic Forum have cautioned against the swearing-in of Asiwaju Bola Tinubu before the apex court judgment, saying it might be an invitation to anarchy if done.

The Igbo leaders advised that the judiciary must be allowed to conclude hearing on the presidential election petitions before swearing in a new president of Nigeria.


The forum which made this known yesterday at a press conference presided over by its chairman, Chief Simon Okeke in Abuja, condemned what it called a delayed tactic being employed by the presidential election petitions tribunal.

Okeke said the constitution never said the president must be sworn in on May 29, and the present administration should ensure that the right thing is done by allowing the judiciary to conclude its work before any swearing-in can take place.

Oboy, this one no be by who got her pregnant. These roadside beggars are very vulnerable to rapists as they sleep outdoors and have no protection. Men can also use money to lure her. She's clearly not educated enough to know how to prevent pregnancy like your wife do. People like this need your help and not your complaint.

Forget this rubbish... Egypt is a serious racist country. They hate black people with passion. So, they were looking for excuses to chase them. What did the soldier do that resulted to the fight? It could even be that the soldier started abusing them. So, if it's Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and other Northern African countries deporting black skinned Africans, I won't be surprised because it's their habit.

This is the only way to boycott Igbo Elder's request since they're unable to call their son Obi to withdraw the case against Tinubu. The position has to be zoned to either the South south or South east bur currently, the Southeast is at war with Tinubu's qualification for President. If they should withdraw their case from court today, Igbo tribe would get many positions from Tinubu.

The Minister of State for Labour and Employment, Festus Keyamo has alleged plots by the opposition parties to legally stop the inauguration of the president-elect, Bola Ahmed Tinubu before May 29.

The Minister, however, ascribed the move and reactions it preceded as illiteracy, saying some unscrupulous characters are taking advantage of those he termed “nattering nitwits”.

He wrote,


The President Election Tribunal had fixed Monday for the commencement of the hearing of the petitions filed by the opposition parties seeking to truncate the victory of Tinubu.

Meanwhile, preparation for transition is in top gear as President Muhammadu Buhari is set to hand over power to Bola Tinubu on May 29.
