Lol

A very funny thread. Just look at how they are promoting the Nigerian stock market. I'll rather go into futures or forex trading using higher investment technique. Will rather put the money in bitcoin and hold for minimum of 1 year. Imagine promoting stocks like this. It's good to be financially educated. Chai!

A man who paid heavily when everyone refused to release much definitely must have a strong backing. I am still shocked how Atiku beat Wike in that primary because I don't think Wike does not have the capacity to spend the way Atiku spent. I was just surprised that day that he lost. If the PDP na better party, Atiku shouldn't beat Wike, and they got served what they deserved. They wanted to push aside the man who sustained the party for good 3 years after Atiku went on vacation to Dubai. Lol. I'm so happy Wike taught Atiku a big lesson to not behave like the smartest person who thinks his money and connections can easily win primaries. Atiku has ever been present in Naija after what Wike has made him to pass through. Lol. He could have won the primary he contested against Buhari too if not for Tinubu's money. Lol.

So, Wike has gladly taken up the task to make sure that he rubbished everyone who betrayed him, and even at the expense of not listening to Makinde who used to be his friend. Wike no send anybody papa. He is bold to say it to their face thar dem no born anybody papa to mention his suspension or expulsion. E mean say, the guy don hold dem blokos.

But we need to find a way to stop these corrupt politicians who manipulates elections with their stolen and illegal money.

Any coalition that cannot bring together Atiku and Obi's votes cannot remove Tinubu. The only two candidates with the number than can force a break into Aso Rock is the unification of their supporters. Ameachi is now a nobody who has been dismissed. Wike slammed that guy, rendering him useless. Imagine Wike chasing him away from the PDP and even to the APC, where he claimed to be a founding member, and then chasing him away. He has no more influence anywhere. So, any coalition that puts him forward has already lost, even before anything begins.

I think El-Rufai is smart. He only wants to be a formidable opponent. As a result, he will succeed in criticizing Tinubu in the same way that he did to Jonathan. The only issue is that he will understand why it is difficult to dethrone Tinubu in Lagos. I watched him attack Tinubu many years ago and suggested that Aregbesola remove him. Lol. Now he will understand why Tinubu is not Jonathan. Jonathan is a man that respect life and said he would not allow bloodshed because of an election that he lost. Mainwhile Tinubu told his supporter to grab it and run away.

Many people including me think Obi will be Atiku's vice, but really if he does he is not wise. It is better for him to not be a president but use his influence to be one of the king makers. As for Atiku, he knows he cannot go anywhere again without Obi, so he needs him more. But to me, Obi doesn't need him again because he is already a burden. And the last chance Atiku has to do something meaningful is now, and that is to forget his ambition and produce a vice president for Obi.

I doubt Obi will insist on having Datti Baba-Ahmed. If he is discussing it in any coalition, I believe he has already decided not to run for president, but rather to become a real force in Southeast politics.

Do I see Atiku pulling out? Absolutely not. As a result, Tinubu will only be removed by divine decree. Maybe sickness, death, or something supernatural can stop him, but outside of this situation, Tinubu will win again, even though we know things will not get better.

There is no reformation which will work in a corrupt system. The leader who will make Nigeria great must eradicate corruption. Buhari seemed to be the right person, but we didn't know that he was fake. Apparently, Tunde Idiagbon was the incorruptible guy, and not Buhari. We just understood the reason he was killed when OBJ was about making use of him during his time as an elected president.

Tinubu is simply moving our economic towards debt-based which is what the world economy wants. Credit facilities will soon be available for everyone with what he is doing and this is when the world bank, imf, and the rest will start praising Nigeria. Lol.

But I still don't see him successful because politicians will continue looting. A nation with minimal looting and the whole system runs on debt is the present standard of a nation doing excellently well. Lol.

Experts don't care. They will tell you how South Korea is still doing well despite the fact that our naira is close to their won. Lol. Na so so thousands and millions you go dey hear from Koreans too even when purchasing a loaf of bread. Lol. But they can borrow easily and maintain their debts easily (not necessarily be able to pay back the capital)....lol. So, I believe they want Nigeria to be able to service these debts easily without paying back the capital....life goes on. And Tinubu is doing it excellently. So, to them...he is a good president.

Anyway, the life wey borrow, na him go service am...not pay back. Lol. So, you guys should stop complaining and embrace it. Even obi can do nothing about the Nigerian economy. Can he honestly eradicate corruption? Lol.

Tinubu, Atiku, obi, El Eufai, etc are all not able to return Nigeria's glory because they are all corrupt and cannot stop corruption.

I understand that the devil has successfully penetrated Christianity, as predicted by the Bible, and we are in the last days. I do not understand why people who have been subjected to Nigerian babalawo and ifa bondage would want to go through it again. At least if something else is packaged for them, I can understand it, but repackaging ifa that has kept them in bondage for many years is beyond me. Until now, these ifa people have refused to declassify their manipulative practices, which they refer to as a way of life. A secret way of life defies my imagination. And the fact that Nigerians are embracing them again after the devastation they caused is beyond me. To top it off, their greed was the weapon used by the whites to defeat them, and they have not changed...and we have people who are deliberately embracing them again? The human race, particularly Africans, is hopelessly greedy, with no cure. There is no way to convince the majority of Africans to become less greedy.

He who holds on to his faith until the end fights a good battle. This world is extremely manipulative, and only those who are constantly vigilant can survive it.

Moscow said Trump is emotional about lives lost. Jeez!

These people no get joy oooo. You kon sew orange jump suit on them?

Pattern recognition is powerful. It used to be mainly spiritual, but data science has shown us that it is highly scientific. The shepherds recognised the star pattern so they knew a king was born. Those who read your palm to know your future developed their abilities to recognise patterns. Likewise, modern marketers are able to sell more by collecting data and analysing patterns. It is all about patterns.

Patterns can be deceptive and so we use logic in it's analysis. Does it mean that because a pattern is frequent with some group of people that it is definitely a must that such characteristic is peculiar to them? It is only a signal to investigate further. Does it mean that because the pastor recognised prostitutes use chains in their legs where he lives means everyone that uses chains is a prostitute? Knowing that in his environment, there are popular spiritual sects that forbid jewelry usage. What about the rich Indian and arabic families that make their daughters wear 24 carat gold on their legs? Are those ones prostitutes too? Might be prostitutes in his place wear extremely cheap chains on their legs. Oh....then, maybe pattern recognition tells me to watch out more for anyone who wears cheap chains on her legs. But wait! I need to learn how to quickly spot cheap leg chains. Hmmmm! Perhaps, anyone who can't quickly recognise an expensive leg chain is a "maga". Lol! And to even be bold to express his illiteracy publicly is what? I bet you can answer it too.

This pastor lacks the ability to interpret patterns and he has been making too many mistakes lately. I only pity those that follow him. He is showing the pattern of being a real "maga". Hehehehhehe! Following him puts you at risk of learning heresy.

The truth is that the Obi-Atiku coalition is the only thing that can challenge Tinubu, but given Tinubu's personality, I doubt they can defeat him. Not that Obi and Atiku are coming to do anything meaningful, but it is well. Nigeria is in the hands of one chance people...and another group of one chance people coming together.

Candidates for the position are financially secured, so the high salary does not motivate them. Pope Leo's tendency to donate everything is also very high. He may not follow Francis' method, but he will end up giving away 99% of his salary. When you reach the stage of qualifying to become a pope, you will have everything you need already provided, so an addition will be considered a surplus. As a pope, you are not expected to engage in business transactions, and you have no children or heirs to leave an inheritance to. So, what exactly is the extra pay check going to do if not put it back into God's work? I believe the main goal is to provide the pope with a monthly salary that he can use for charitable purposes as he sees fit. Perhaps he should also spend on himself. But everything he requires has already been provided. Lol.

Seun, I believe you were born in the year you know the history of telecom in Nigeria. Many kids are using your forum, and it is good to find a way to put history in the right way. Look at what kids who don't know anything writing on the front page of this forum about this topic distorting information. Kids after you are so many and they are deliberately misinformed on your forum. You need to find a way to use AI to address this issue. This is one reason matured people have left your forum.

Goodluck!

Brilliant set up! Now, we can have real analysis of the activities going on from experts' view instead of many unintelligent comments flying around the social media..

Everything the minister has said is ok; however, forage production is important to the success of livestock production. A livestock farmer is first a vegetable farmer, but this is not true in Nigeria. Herders are unfamiliar with forage production. Livestock will rely less on vaccines, antibiotics, and other medications if they know how to grow natural grasses and legumes in large plots of land without the use of chemicals and fertilizers. But they will not go that route, and if the animals do not find what they grow appetizing, they will stop eating, forcing herders to relocate again and enter farms. No matter how green the grasses are, if they are not appealing to the animals, they have wasted money.

I wish them good luck, but I am confident that Tinubu has not found the right person to handle that area. I told many people that Audi Ogbeh was a mistake made by Buhari, but they argued that he is a practical farmer and blah blah. He even suggested importing grasses from Brazil because he did not know how to grow them. Lol. I laughed hard that time.

I wish them the best!

I find these mornachs disgusting. Imagine the number of kings in Nigeria by 2025, to the point where state governments have established ministries to address chieftaincy issues. Just imagine. And it is all because they use these people to win and occasionally rig elections.

Some will argue that we must protect our culture. Just tell me...look at these Ooni and Alaafin; are they the kind who know their culture well? If they know, this type of problem will never occur. These people are just spending money. One guy like that brought a Jamaican lady with him to be enthroned, and the lady eventually divorced him. The same Yoruba king began referring to himself as an emir and wearing northern attire at times. Does it appear that this type of person can teach you about a culture he is unfamiliar with? Another one is currently under investigation for illegal arms importation. And, given Kano's badtardisation of everything, can we say that these people have not lost their relevance? Or is it the Sultan of Sokoto who is unaware of his boundaries and wishes to command Muslims throughout the country?

We are simply wasting money on these individuals.

Statistics and data are flying around because Nigeria is about to break. When you see data and listen to their senators' arguments about wanting more and more like Ndume, something in you stirs. Na so separation builds up. It is a gradual thing.

If what I am seeing comes true, Tinubu will most likely be the last meaningful president of the United Nigeria. The north will suffer greatly because it is clear that they cannot do better than Niger and Chad. They lack efficient human capital and resource management because religion has eaten deep into their brains.

You can imagine the suffering that will occur when Nigeria separates and all benefits to Niger and Chad are halted because the north can no longer continue. Then they will realize they have been too foolish all along. They ruled Nigeria with the military for more than 30 years, and the country remains underdeveloped.

Na waooo!

May God keep us out of any unholy marriages. If you marry someone with a low IQ and can not reason like you, you are dead meat. Backwardness. Southern Nigeria must divorce the north in order to make significant progress.

I have stopped using GTB and I know friends who had same too. That bank is on it way to the bottomless pit. GTB that used to be the best bank in Nigeria. That bank is now something else...too aggressive kind of a bank.

It is better for Atiku to lose without Wike than to win with him and start a feud with him, as Wike is doing with Fubara. A wise man will not appoint someone who struggled in a position with him as his deputy. Instead, reconcile such with other positions. A deputy like this will almost certainly rebel against the principal in the near future. Wike is a liability that everyone wants to keep close, but when eating with him, use a long spoon. Jagaban's treatment of Wike is the best way to treat people like him. And such will fail naturally and end badly. So Wike was not an option for Atiku and will never be an option for any reasonable politician.

Gaining power with gun is wrong with thisnpresent world standard, and no matter the goodness of such leader, it is not acceptable in this present world. Democracy is what this world has embraced presently, and if you must go against it, then, be prepared to defend it with your life. After all, those who brought democracy did so too. They fought kings who did not want the monarchy system to be eradicated with their blood. Yes, he may be a lesser devil beloved by his people, but he opposes current world political acceptance; thus, he must be prepared to fight.

Is it worth it in my opinion? Absolutely not. You can have your opinion, but this is mine. Using a gun to impose yourself on your people is morally and ethically unacceptable. Then, doing something good to make people love you and keep them under your control is manipulative. Go for a credible election and allow the people to choose you for a term. And you can recontest for a 2nd term. What is so hard in that? But you choose to remain in power with gun. Too wrong.

Let's compare him with Biya of Cameroon. That one keeps using the senate to extend how many times he can contest. Yea, it is wrong to me, but he followed the law and tweaked it so that no one can complain. Same too is what Putin did. And Trump is trying to do same. Yes, these are manipulative ways, but acceptable. Are just just? Nope. But the guys are smart to tweak the acceptable system to make them rule for long so no one can complain. Is it selfish? Yes. Is it healthy? Nope. But hope you gdt my point.

In summary, doing something unethical, even if it appears to be very good, will be frowned upon until the price is paid to make it ethically acceptable. If he does not want to give up his throne so easily, he should be prepared to pay the price. And it could be with his life.

There is a lady who attended one of the less popular churches that I know. Mammon, Seventh Day, ECWA, etc are what I meant by less popular. Less than 0.0005% of the world population attend such denominations. And she wants her man to quit his church and follow her. I asked the lady why she can't find a man in her church, and why she has to look outside and convert the man when she knows that her denomination is less popular. Frankly, I am not against her wish because she said its what she desires, but in a cultural setting like Nigeria where women follow men to their churches might not be possible. The fact that the denomination is less popular makes it extremely difficult.

Also, most catholic ladies desire it too, and the goodnews is that there are many men in their denomination who they can marry.

To my friend who I talked about in the first paragraph, I pray God speaks to her. Personally, I don't understand why some people are glued to a particular denomination. It's strange. Christ is the church, and not the denomination. She claimed that's where she is growing. Lol. Have she tried other places when she is already a matured Christian to conclude that just a particular church is where she can grow? I doubt it.

We are our own problems in this world. We have set denominations above Christ, and it is just too bad. Destinies are altered because of this. Marriages made from heaven are made not to happen because of this misconception the devil sowed in us.

God will help us all. Amen.

Homeland security that cannot secure ordinary purse, it's the country they want to secure. See her Botox face. I don't know when these people will realise that injecting stuff into your face won't make you look young, it only makes you look like an old person injecting stuff into their face.

Frustration makes people attack persons instead of addressing issues. Na waooo. Dem don refuse you US visa multiple times?

You are finished if you resigned to it like that. But if you can pick up an evergreen or a distruptive innovative skill, you will smile soon. Within 5 years, you will look back and smile.

He was overweight (obese). Take care of your health folks.

Being fat is not a sign of wealth. It is a sign of illness.

247man:
You should be ashamed of yourself.
So late Pastor Dare Adeboye that died at 42 was overweight?

@247man, I gues you must be "fati' bom-bom" too. Go take care if your health or you will drop death before you accomplish fully your mission on earth. Dare Adeboye was obviously sick too, and may not be due to obesity, but he was sick. Obesity may not cause his death, but it is a killer. Na your die if you keep arguing. And keep drinking 3 bottles of Coca-Cola daily. Keep eating 10kg of meat daily. Keep loading up with rice, spaghetti, rounded yam. Etc. Keep eating soup filed with oil. Oh...the oil is healthy na....but keep eating it more and more. And do not ever go to the gym. Guy, no be me you go argue with....na angel Gabriel you go argue with soon.

Goodluck!

Thundafireseun:
Life expectancy in Nigeria is 70 years old….

Without exercise is 54 years old….

RIP SIR ….

Una go just dey say rubbish. According to WHO, and well researched, life expectancy in Nigeria is 54.1 years. If you neglect your health, you die fast. The most important factor is food and not doing exercise. If you eat well, you won't get fat. Most cannot do without rice, beans, and other grains. Most eat meat too much. And who enforces good practises in good farming and security in Nigeria? Lol.

Seun:
Hello Guys,

I'm throwing this question to you because it's very important. Every time I ask, "how is Nairaland?" I'm told that it is fine. If I ask what are the challenges I'm told there are none.

So I need to talk to you guys directly about what you think is going on and what you want us to do. I have not had the confidence to make major changes on Nairaland. I have a little confidence now because of AI.

What are your complaints, your challenges, your issues. What are the things that can drive people away and need to be nipped?

Speak your mind, but don't be rude. Thanks.

Definitely, AI is the way to go.

While it is good to ask what the problems and solutions are, progressive decisions can be made only with predictive analytics. Decisions made based on data is what work and not just using intuition and what people say or think. Most times, users do not know what they want until provided. Users complain when they aren't satisfied, but they don't usually know what they want. So, this is why brainstorming based on data is the solution.

I have talked about this thing with my old account, and I criticised too (maybe blindly), but after knowing what I have known, I'll rather only encourage you to do better and not criticise.

The truth is that I see something replacing NL, and I guess you have started seeing it too. Also, I read you shared April fool that you sold a share of NL to your childhood friend. I feel you are already thinking about progress to share such.

Do what online business giants do - they set up a good team that reports to them. Depending on your capability, you can make it work. At times one may get volunteers, and if one is rich, one can employ hands. Even volunteers will want something back which will even be more beneficial to them in the long run than getting fat salaries. No free meat these days.

Income generation is what you need to take serious. Even you make NL the best forum and income doesn't improve, it isn't a success. Elon had to step away from the CEO seat before X starts making a reasonable money because he realised he couldn't do it easily, or he might be slow. With the Nigerian economy, lean business strategy might be what you need at this moment to brainstorm and know the way forward.

Since you wrote that you feel comfortable that AI can get you on board, it shows you have ideas on going about it. So, I strongly feel that the missing piece is making data based decisions in order to increase income which will make you make many changes and include more features as requested.

Make no mistake, it is going to not be easy because it is harder to renovate than to build from the scratch. Your employees may resist changes at first which can affect the business. Definitely, even a blind man who is fortunate to have someone reads NL front page to him daily can tell you that there should be improvement. Topics moved there and first page comments should be improved. I do not want to go into details so it doesn't turn to condemnation.

May God lead you.

I lived in Jos in the 90s and at a point I thought Rochas was an Hausa man, he has been doing charity across North and South West long before he joined politics so he doesn't need to rub shoulders with anyone in Abuja because he was way bigger than many politicians.
Ibos don't celebrate Rochas enough because they don't know his value, he is respected in the North by all because they know what he done for the people, he is also respected in Ibadan where many has benefited from his free education for decades.

Listen to yourself. Lol. Imo should celebrate a statue builder that they trusted with their state to govern. People like you are the reasons you are poor. Lol. They didn't celebrate him, but made him a governor. Lol. Did you read my last post? Man dey give you peanuts to win your hearts to win elections and steal massively. Lol. Una heads never correct ooo.

Go and calculate the peanuts he used in his useless philanthropic work and compare them with the amount he used to build statues. And statues building is one of the cheapest projects he embarked on that did not bring any profit to the state he governed.

Dey play! Guy...you are just something else. Mehn. Dem go keep using your destiny free of charge for such "abrakatabra". You better wake up from your slumber cos you will die poor. Take back your destiny from "destiny users". Lol. He even replied me with boldness. I am sure you will reply again. See eh.

Man sef dey reason how to get people like you to use sef. Lol....You too useful guy....your destiny definitely is for the smart ones to use since you don't want to use your head.

He is way bigger than many politicians yet he lost his presidential bid. Just listen to yourself and he moved to the senate. Only Imos votes can elect him. Lol. Have you ever seen any big politician who govern his state and them move to the senate? Check all those who did it....like stepping down. This is one reason Uzo Kalu will not be the president...Oshiomole knows he can't win Nigeria. Lol. You finish as a governor, and you start eyeing the presidency. Period. You funny. Which popular? If you can still support Rochas and think he is a human after the way he handled Imo, your destiny is gone.

Rochas my guy! Rochas, the statue builder. Nigga was jumping around doing philanthropic activities when he lost his first presidential bid before contesting in his home state. Lol. Igbos felt like a he was the right person until he arrived at the office and started his madness. Guy man needs to start rolling with Abuja boys to rule Naija, so he is doing his philanthropic thing again to gain popularity. Rochas Rochas.....this is a real nigga, but he will be screwed and messed up. For sure!

EXPRESSSMAN:
Man, you are the one lying. You don't know what you are talking about. Most ATM still pay a maximum of 10,000.

You are a careless human being, and I will coreect you. Go to any ATM now. You will see the usual ..."want to withdraw an10k", press no. And it will give you more options. If you see N40k Press it, or more, or any amount more than N20K. And it will tell the max amount you can withdraw at a go. If you don't get N20k, return here. And please, give me the name of the bank, the location and address. I will report to CBN here, and you will see what will happen. Oga, I have used many ATMs recently. The minimum I have been getting at a go is N20k.

You wey no dey withdraw money from ATM again. A beg, stop this nonsense. This is why you lose cases in court. Just defending what they aren't aware of.

The the issue of 70% of the people living within their bank is a big lie. Not in a place like Lagos.
I live at Ago palace way and my bank is at Airport Road. Going to Airport Road and back from Ago will cost you N1600. This is the case of most people in Lagos. Stop saying what you don't know. There a lots of people that there business is cash based. So don't use your situation as a case of comparison. Allow people to cry for their induced suffering and pain.
Besides, Nigeria banks have been declaring billions in profits. They don't need to pauperize the citizens to achieve their aim. It is all about funding Tinubu campaign for 2027.

Read the bolded part again. You are a real careless human being. Go to my post you responded to and see if I wrote that 70% of the people live within their bank. You are just too careless with the manner you understand issues. What a pity? I won't bother to correct you and explain what the 70% I wrote about again. I don't understand the school you went to.

What a pity? Please carry your wahala go and don't mention me again. Ha ba! Banks declaring profit in billions. What a pity?

Goodluck!
