What is wrong with OGD then?

Why is he so universally hated, at least on nairaland?

^^^

'Cos he is like Akala, he hasnt done shyyt in his home state.

He has spent a large percentage of his 2nd term (approx. 90%) fomenting trouble and gallivanting.Remember that in the state, the position of the governor is very powerful. The governor controls the party and he has so many privileges to dispense and to get people to agree with him. For instance, the governor is fighting everybody, he is fighting the house of Assembly, he is fighting the prominent traditional rulers, he is fighting the key leaders of the party, including the former president.And so in a way, nothing gets done in the state.  And, most people here of Ogun indigene are students from the state school, OSU, which has been closed for over 6 months now due to his refusal to pay the teachers. And, he has, from available public records, embezzled from the state treasury almost to the point of bankruptcy.

And even in the State House of Assmbly, nothing gets done. As a matter of fact, there are two different sittings in two different locations, one loyal to the Governor,OGD, and the other seeking to impeach him and starve him of funds


The point is that, the guy has not delivered.Simple as that.

She is not partisan. she believes that Awoism is an idea that transcends partisan politics. EIther you like it or nor OGD is as Awoist as the staunchest Awoist alive. Remember that OGD started from the AD and had to leave because of people like Osoba and the rest.


Just because she is anti OBJ doesnt mean she has to be anti-GEJ. She is an elder and has to remain above the fray.

I thank God for you Tpiah

Leave her alone
Do you work for the FBI?

^^^^

But they do understand the superiority of Awoism over  any other school of thought in Nigerai

One of the few mavericks in Nigeria

We taking overrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

DOnt mind them, they all believe in Awoism, contrary to what some misinformed college students and fly by college professors would rather have us believe

We seem to have a lot of award winners in the diaspora. What do those award winners do subsequently? Are they typical one-hit wonders? Have anyone of them done anything beyond winning academic prizes?

In fact, outside academics, what are Nigerians doing?

My problem with your post and POV is that it lacks coherence. I thought being award winners is a sign that the rest of the world acknowledge their genius, No?

You started off with :

Is it possible that Nigerians are incapable of producing true geniuses? How come we have never produced any outstanding individual that the whole world has stood up in unison and repeatedly applauded? How come we are always 'potentially great', but somehow never able to produce true greatness, and even when we do something close, we're totally unable to sustain it? I'm talking about Nigeria among fellow African and third world nations mind you. Let's leave the West out of this for now.

Insinuating that for some reasons attributable to certain ingrained cultural practices, we are incapable of producing true genius. And from the bolded, you seem to want someone the rest of the world, prolly preferably White people, has certified to be truly great.

Names were mentioned including Wole Soyinka who was unanimously applauded by the rest of the world as a  true genius and was subsequently awarded the highest honor bestowable on foreigners by the Queen. Now, how does being awarded a Nobel Prize by the Nobel committee made of dignitaries from all over the world not satisfy your requirement that any mentioned Nigerian be one that ".  .   . the whole world has stood up in unison and repeatedly applauded?"  

After you were prodded by PhysicsMHD to do what ought to have been done in the first instance, you defined what and who  you would acknowledged as a genius, and you went further to mention riff-raffs like Ronaldo de lima and Lionnel Messi and Usain Bolt, leaving out, and in a way, discrediting home grown greats like Okocha, Odegbami, Rashidi Yekini and the likes, citing ridiculous reasons like not winning CAF awards for your non-acceptance of their greatness.

In politics, you started off with:

Politics nko? Nelson Mandela, Julius Nyerere, Kwame Nkrumah, Abdel Nasser, Jerry Rawlings, Jomo Kenyatta, even our friend Ghadaffi. We haven't done any better here, or at least we don't seem to have produced anyone close to that stature. All our politicians have dubious precedents, even the so-called morally upright ones. After all, they're the ones who say they are morally upright. Buhari has Abacha's son in his fold, running for Kano State gov, and Ribadu is functioning like a JK flip flop. Running for elections under the umbrella of men who he pursued with the weight of the law just a couple of years ago? Excuse me for my confusion, but all our best men have either been exposed as hypocrites at one point or the other, or are constantly posturing with no indication that they truly have the balls to take us to the next level

It beats me that you of all people would have the balls to lampoon our politicians while at the same time extol irredentists like Ghadafi. Talking about dubious precedents, what makes Jerry Rawlings a better person or in your words, more acclaimed that Buhari?

On Science and Engineering, you said:

Let's even leave science and tech aside, black people and science don't really mix well, so I'll leave it at that. But then, how come Cheick Diarra is Chairman of Microsoft Africa? He's from Mali. He's a Phd in Engineering and ex-NASA.

I ask you humbly,  what makes the Malian more interesting than Kunle Olutokun or Barth Nnaji? Is it because he is from Mali? the fact that he attended less prestigious universities than Olutokun or Nnaji or the fact that he works for Microsoft? Vs Nosa Omoigui, how does he compare?

And talking about comparing Kanu with Weah: Do you really want to go down that route? Weah  never played on the world stage, an achievement in by itself. His last attepmt at playing at the world cup was scuttled by none other than Kanu Nwankwo and his collegues, and this is after Weah had already bribed Kallone to allow them easy passage in SL. Vs. Eto, where should i even start, Kanu Nwankwo single handedly won Japan '93 for Nigeria at the tender age of 14, ask Eto to produce his own age-grade soccer medal/laurels? At the senior level, Kanu has won  and achieved practically the same thing Eto has ever won.

Honestly, I am struggling, just like the rest, in getting a good understanding of your points. And I am afraid that this is another case of colonial mentality disguised as an attempt at placing Nigeria amongst her contemporaries:

COLOMENTALITY

Colomentality

E be say you be colonial man
You don be slave from before
Dem don release you now
but you never release yourself

Colomentality

E be so , E be so dem dey do,
dem dey overdo all the things wey dem dey do
e be so dem dey do, dem think say dem better pass dem brother.
No be so?

E be so

The thing wey Nigerian no good
na[b] foreign things dem dey like[/b].
No be so?
*[CHORUS] EE BE SO/ I BE SO
Dem go turn air condition and close dem country away.
Na be so?
E be so
Dem judge him go put white wig and jail him brothers away
No be so?
E be so

Dem go proud of dem name and put dem slave name for head
No be so?
E be so

Colomentality now make you hear me now

*[CHORUS] COLO MENTALITY

Mr. Ransome you make you hear
Mr. Williams you make you hear
Mr. Ali -a you make you hear
Mr. Mohammed you make you hear

What do you mean by the British?

That was one bad arse video

The guy in mohawk would prolly kick my a-s-s too.

bk.babe97y:
What da. . . . ?

Jesus! The Human Race really is in serious trouble. . . .

You've got time for her.

I didnt bother to read her post, I knew the content would be very silly.

She must have thought we were discussing romance and pull out (withdrawal) method of birth control.

PhysicsMHD:
lol@ the Feynman thing. I read that his trouble was actually with verbal/writing tests in Gleick's biography of him, so that actually probably explains the 123 I.Q. thing. He got a very low score on the GRE verbal section according to Gleick's biography. But mathematically, he was clearly way way up there.

Then there's the early Nigerian physicist Alexander Obiefoka Enukora Animalu after whom the Animalu-Heine-Abarenkov model potentials were named.

Yes, you are right. he himself acknowledged that much. I have read classic Feynman twice now and I love the book. Funny enough, he never believed in the whole IQ thing. His sister had an IQ of 140+ and she was no where as brilliant as he was. And very humble.

Yeah, and he is also the only person to have ever had a perfect score on the maths section of Princeton's graduate school entrance exam. And that was when Einstein, Dirac and the rest of them heavyweights were in Princeton. The verbal section killed him.

So you see, I will be looking forward to your Nobel speech in year 20?? All I need is a 5 second acknowledgement as one of those people who always believed in you and encouraged you even in the face of constant attack from our  reetard, but egotistical OAU dropout turn Bristol grad.

What about this guy:

"G. Okikiolu: The excellence of Black persons in Mathematics has not been limited to Americans, the Nigerian George O. Okikiolu works in London and has published 3 books and at least 190 papers, more than any other Black mathematician."

PhysicsMHD:
Even I have an I.Q. above 140 and I'm Nigerian.

Thanks for putting a nationality to that moniker. I always thought you were White, going by Ajanlekoko's logic. Thanks for proving to us mere mortals that you dont have to be White to have an IQ of 140 plus.

You my friend are way smarter than my idol, Richard Feynmann who, with his 123 IQ points, won a nobel prize at a very tender age. I see Nobel Prize in your future.

Talking about Cheick Diarra, somebody with a Ph.D in aerospace engineering from Howard University, I am not sure if the OP knows that the graduate with the highest GPA ever from Howard  Engineering is a Nigerian who went on to complete her PH.D., in robotic Engineering at Caltech. Shouldn't she be considered smarter than Cheick Diarra since they both attended the same crappy college.


What about Professor Kunle Olutokun, not that he is a genius, but truth be told, his individual achievements tower above that of Diarra on any given day.
http://ifastudent-cognitivediary..com/2010/09/kunle-olukotun-ogun-at-stanfordafara-at.html

Not even sure what the OP is trying to get at. his assetions are without merit at all.

Tristen:
D ref probably did it again,as was d case at stanford,

WHat has Stanford got to do with a Liverpool Manure match?


Must you blame America for all your problems?
