Finally, some people are being honest with themselves

obaaderemi:
I'm glad you took the trouble to look it up. George Orwell was one hell of a writer. But his most notable work isn't Animal Farm but a book titled 1984 written in 1948.
The name Big Brother came from that book, as well as the idea of people living under the watchful eye of Big Brother. Some people took that idea and name and turned it into a big reality show that many youths waste their time and emotion on today. Try to get a copy of 1948 by George Orwell. You won't be disappointed.

Thanks really, I appreciate.

Fucsheetup:
According to his analogy, you have no intelligence whatsoever. If you had been there, you would’ve been among the ‘pathetic’ ones.

Some people are still not able to pick the right choice of words before conveying their message, it shows his level of intelligence.

obaaderemi:
My son, you made sense! The youths of today in Nigeria are an embarrassment. If the girls are not watching those empty nollywood movies they are talking about fashion and sex. As for the boys, if they are not watching wrestling, they are talking about nairabet and such things.
You can't hold a meaningful intellectual conversation with them.
I was at a seminar not long ago and I asked the boys and girls present if any of them knew George Orwell, author of Animal Farm. They had neither heard of the book nor its author. It's pathetic.

Stylized way of recommendation, but thanks anyway, I'm glad I looked it up.

egalitarianism:
Damn. My friend, rest on. You use your youthful days for benefiting others, thereby writing your name on platter of gold. Shame on youths of nowadays, all you do This age is to talk about sex, relationship, gossip and sorts. You don't sit alone and think of how to benefit others. This is why older generation keep riding your l like horse, you're not serious with your future. You're not ready to take it into your hands. WAKE FROM SLUMBER. USE YOUR HEAD.
Though I won't still stop clamouring for retiring the old thieves, to pave way for the sound minded youths. God bless you all my children. Stay safe and out of trouble

Preach it.

See how he didn't even mention Nigeria

Read it again. (Johannesburg, Lagos, Nairobi etc)

We invest most of of time drinking beer...Showing off on social media...Investing time on irrelevant trends...Religion and tribalism has done more damage too.

Safe to say, "We as youths, we're the change we need if only, we want to be that change" let's set our priorities straight.

I was 9 years old when Nelson Mandela was sent to prison on Robben Island. As a boy, I learned about him in school, and I remember seeing reports about the anti-Apartheid movement on the evening news. Decades later, I got to meet him and work with him. In person he was even more inspiring than I had imagined. His humility and courage left an impression that I will never forget.

So it was a special honor to be invited to give the Nelson Mandela Lecture in Pretoria, South Africa. I eagerly accepted the invitation and quickly began working on my remarks.

I decided to share my optimism about Africa’s future—to explain why I think the continent has the potential to change faster in the next generation than any continent ever has.

It’s because Africa is the world’s youngest continent, and youth can go hand in hand with a special dynamism. I was 20 years old when Paul Allen and I started Microsoft. The entrepreneurs driving startup booms in Johannesburg, Lagos, and Nairobi are just as young, and the thousands of businesses they’re creating are already changing lives across the continent. The potential will only grow as the digital revolution brings more advances in artificial intelligence and robotics.

But positive change across Africa won’t happen automatically. The real returns will come only if Africans can unleash this talent for innovation in all of the continent’s growing population. That depends on whether all of its young people are given the opportunity to thrive.

It is still an open question, and it is the crux of my speech, which I gave today at the University of Pretoria. It was an honor to give this lecture, and I’m grateful to the Nelson Mandela Foundation and the university for inviting me.

The first time I spoke with Nelson Mandela was in 1994, when he called to ask me to help fund South Africa’s first multi-racial election. It’s not every day that Nelson Mandela calls, so I remember it well. I was running Microsoft at the time and thinking about software most of my waking hours. But I admired Nelson Mandela, I knew the election was historic, and I did what I could to help.

I had been to Africa for the first time just the year before, when my wife, Melinda, and I travelled in East Africa on vacation. Obviously, we knew parts of Africa were very poor, but being on the continent turned what had been an abstraction into an injustice we could not ignore.

Faced with such glaring inequity, we started thinking about how we could use our resources to make a difference. Within a few years, we established our foundation. It was when I started coming to Africa regularly for the foundation that I came to know Nelson Mandela personally. He was both an advisor and an inspiration.

One topic that Nelson Mandela came back to over and over again in his lifetime was the power of youth. I agree with Mandela about young people, and that is one reason I’m optimistic about the future of Africa. Demographically, Africa is the world’s youngest continent, and its youth can be the source of a special dynamism.

Economists talk about the demographic dividend and the potential for Africa’s burgeoning youth population to accelerate economic growth. But for me, the most important thing about young people is the way their minds work. Young people are better than old people at driving innovation, because they are not locked in by the limits of the past. I was 19 when I founded Microsoft. Steve Jobs was 21 when he started Apple. Mark Zuckerberg was 19 when he created Facebook.

So I’m inspired by the young African entrepreneurs driving startup booms in the Silicon Savannahs from Johannesburg and Cape Town to Lagos and Nairobi.

The real returns, though, will come if we can multiply this talent for innovation by the whole of Africa’s growing youth population. To make that a reality, all of Africa’s young people must have the opportunity to thrive.

If we invest in the right things—if we make sure the basic needs of Africa’s young people are taken care of—then they can change the future and life on this continent will improve faster than it ever has.

In my view, there are four things that will determine Africa’s future: health and nutrition, education, economic opportunity, and good governance.

When people aren’t healthy, they can’t turn their attention to things like education, working and raising a family. Conversely, when health improves, life improves by every measure.

I’m especially concerned about HIV. Africa’s youngest generation are entering the age when they are most at risk of HIV. We need to get more out of the HIV prevention methods we have now –while developing better solutions like an effective vaccine and easier-to-use medicines that people are more likely to use consistently.

Nutrition is another critical area of focus for Africa. Malnutrition and micronutrient deficiencies rob millions of the continent’s children of their physical and cognitive potential. Fortunately, there are cost-effective solutions like making sure mothers breastfeed their infants, enriching cooking oil, sugar, and flour with important vitamins and minerals, and breeding staple crops to maximize their nutritional content. We need to make sure the people most at risk know about and have access to these solutions.

Second, we need new thinking and new tools to make sure a high-quality education is available to every child. Educational technology using mobile phones has the potential to help students build foundational skills while giving teachers better feedback and support at the touch of a button. Governments also need to invest in high-quality public universities for the largest number of qualified students to launch the next generation of scientists, entrepreneurs, educators, and government leaders.

Third, we need to create economic opportunities to channel the energy and ideas of Africa’s youth. Through the Comprehensive Africa Agriculture Development Program, countries have a framework for transforming agriculture from a struggle for survival into a thriving business opportunity. But the investment needs to follow, so that young Africans have the means to create the thriving agriculture they envision.

Africa also needs more electrical power to increase productivity. In East Africa especially, governments should invest in hydro and geothermal sources of energy, which are both reliable and renewable, as soon as possible. The immediate priority is for governments to get tougher about managing their electrical grids so they’re producing as much power as possible.

Fourth, countries can benefit from enhancing fiscal governance. Advances in digital technology is one way that governments can deliver services more efficiently.

It’s clear to everyone how big and complicated the challenges are. But Africa has proven its resilience and ingenuity time and again, and there are millions of people, especially young people, who are eager to get to work.

The future depends on the people of Africa working together to lay a foundation so that Africa’s young people have the opportunities they deserve. This is the future that Nelson Mandela dreamed of and it’s the future that the youth of Africa deserve.

Oshi lo MO. Ejo kuro lono jarey. That's all u guys know, fvck fvck fvck fvck... Nothing else in u boys brain. Only dirty prick u can offer, not even sensible and tangible conversation. Talk about second world war, mussolini or fall of Roman empire or even Biafra war and watch them looking at you like zombie. Obvious most men don't even fancy intelligent ladies simply to hide their insecurities.

Your truth is bitter but comes out ill packaged, still it is the truth tho.

Section1000:
Abeg rest Jare.... Do you know what he is going through??

Oga pack one side, he's broke but educated, when kids are at home and he can take home lessons for chicken stipends or go out and sort real time opportunity, he decided to sit on his couch/bed, buy data and ask from someone who just said he's been to Dubai for conversational purpose only, perfect definition of a lazy Nigerian youth, and his fellow youth trying to justify it, this is how cyber crime starts.
Nigerians move your grown a s s, don't always be dependent Everytime.

1. Practice Mindfulness, You'll always be aware of priorities. 2. Maintain mental health, don't get overwhelmed by social media. 3. Don't be a scammer.

only to read the thread and see politic talks, then had to reread the title of the thread

Glorymax:
Lies upon lie. MNK never made such statements nor urge his followers to do so. Asari, now I know that you can lie for Africa. This is the dumbest one from you that can make you lose even your closest admirers.
Biafra is a free Nation with respect for human rights and religious freedom. If you have skeleton in your cupboard, that's the only thing that will keep you frightened. If you like don't listen to your people that have advised you to go and work with him, that's if you've repented of the accusation against you

You're a liar! Majority of easterners hate Muslims, Biafrans hate Muslims, I can swear on my life.

You're actually beautiful though, but I'm on self development, I would have asked for a date.

If you can follow through you are set for life.

Now I am not here to label IML a scam. I do not think they are. I am not here to label any organization as bad. I beleive you should all be able to du your due diligence.

However, I am attempting to give some advice I feel you might find useful.

A few years ago I started my Forex journey. I found IML. Now I do think IML has some great content and valuable lessons. I also think there are some great tutors and mentors on that platform. I will give IML that.

However, as a newbie especially one that subscribes to all the available features, the first thing you will have to contend with is the sheer amount of information. Information overload is a major problem on IML. Too may tutors pushing too many strategies and making too many claims.

A second reason why I think IML is a bad idea is because as a newbie, most if not all the information that will be relevant to you are already available online for free. Why pay so much for information that is mostly useless to you as a newbie. Do yourself a favor first by learning and understanding the basics before investing $200 a month on IML. Its a waste of your resources. You pay that amount every month and you will still have gained nothing after a year. I promise you that. Honestly speaking if you take that whole $2000 and split it in half, put one half on your trading account and practice what you learned on your free tutorials, you would have gained far more than any other person that went through the academy for a year.

Another alternative is that you find a mentor.........a mentor that truly trades......a mentor with results........a mentor who is not afraid to show his losing trades versus his winning trades.........find those kind of guys. They usually charge you a one time fee. Some $200 up to $600. Find those guys. Follow them. Learn their ways and with their experience forge your own path.

What are the examples of those sites one can get equal IML academy knowledge for free?

QuickStandard:

What yeye justice, abi you hear say na person kill her.
People die everyday, and until it is proven that she was murdered, you can't say that because you're emotional.

I read last night how, a man and a lady died in their hotel room. How many tread did you open about getting them justice?

Boko Haram slaughtered 80+ on Saturday morning, how many tread did you open about getting them justice.

I dislike most Nigerians cos they just want to belong by all means.

You people can go to America and protest your BLM there.

Thousands have been murdered in Southern Kaduna. How many tread did you open about BLM.

Hypocrites everywhere.

SARS are busy harasing 9ja citizens, how many times have you protested or even open a tread about justice.

I remember the lady at ikotun that SARS killed, when they shot a fleeing young man. How many of you protested.

All I see is low self esteem, trying so hard to be noticed.

Black lives doesn't matter!
All lives matters.
Let's stop this stupid blackmail.

Blacks are even more racist than white.

If not why would a governor appoint a lady from another state within same Nigeria and some stupid morons will be protesting they remove her because she's not an indigen of the state?

Infact let me just discontinue, cos am angry already.

Nonsense and ingredients?



You can't force him to type RIP. Type yours and leave others to their opinions.

Will typing RIP bring her back?

You're reasonable.
Just when we realize All Lives Matter, that's the first step towards better future, if a cop kills a white man, it doesn't trend, but if he kills a black man, then BLM! and they're still the number one gangbangers, dumb blacks.

BeLookingIDIOT:
You're slow if you still don't understand the point of the BLM protests

What does it mean from your own perspective?

When the whole world is against someone, my person gets to stand with that someone against the world.
Buhari is not God or Police man to help you fight for security, nah your mates dey kill you, fight them, buhari can't do everything or solve all our problems, he's not God, he's just a human being appointed to oversee the running of the country, most times I feel we have more kids than adults on NL.
if boko Haram, thieves, armed robbers, bandits are terrorizing your neighborhood, FIGHT THEM!! Cowards! it's your fellow poor Nigerians that's making life miserable for me and you.
I'm tired of all these blame games Everytime, like you've never been a leader before and understand you can't control everything, even secondary school class rep understands leadership.
What will Buhari gain killing his own when already in power? but what would 2023 presidential aspirants gain killing people and blaming him? use your heads stupid Nigerian people.
