PoliticsThe Challenge Of Social Distancing And Survival In The Fight Against Covid19 by GeneralTopic(op): 7:50pm On Apr 04, 2020
THE CHALLENGE OF SOCIAL DISTANCING AND SURVIVAL IN THE FIGHT AGAINST CORONA VIRUS.

When in 1820, the British Poet JOHN KEATS was quarantined for ten days on bay of Napels, the typhus outbreak was very dreadful. He is always remembered for his poem ODE TO A NIGHTINGALE.

Today in 2020, the global threat to the survival of human race world over witness an unprecedented death toll from Corona Virus attack on most powerful countries, super powers, economies with technological sophistication as well as the smaller and third world developing Countries. From the city of Wuhan in China in December 2019, the epidemic is now world over killing thousands of people.

The Corona Virus aka COVID19 shakedown caused untold smackdown with government lockdown. Nigeria is no exception with Rivers State having an index case.

However, Governments world over have ensured the safety of her Citizens, provided palliatives that ensured total compliance with complete Lockdown and Stay at Home. Countries like France, Germany among others evacuated their citizens back home. Thats the essence of proactive governance in the discharge of duties and protection of the sacred Rules of SOCIAL CONTRACT!

Today in Nigeria, the enforcement OF SOCIAL DISTANCING, STAY HOME and the quest to SURVIVE while fighting against CORONA VIRUS is mostly the challenge of the POPULARIS (Peasants & Common People) who don't have means of survival how much more create FOOD BANK at home.

Today in Rivers State, it is undoubtedly correct to say that despite Government directives, Some make shift Markets have continued in some places because of the need for survival. Petty traders whose survival depends on what they sell daily are selling what the common man couldn't afford to stuck prior to the lockdown. Ironically and funny as it seemed, some of those who are to enforce the market closures are seeing buying as well.

A proactive system of governance ought to plan emergency palliative measures since the Corona Virus broke out in December 2019.
While Governmental sensitization and extreme measures including Lockdown to checkmate the spread of COVID19 is applauded, the People are stalked between daring CORONA VIRUS on the Streets or die of "CORONA HUNGER" at Home.

The RES PUBLICA here remains the common man. Its on record that citizens were arrested in some parts of Port Harcourt and remanded under inhuman conditions for violating the dusk to down curfew now relaxed. Thanks to the Courts for granting them bail. The arrests is condemned as the use of force will be counter productive.

Consequently, these are my humble suggestions:

1. I urge the Federal, State Government and Local Governments to synergies and provide palliatives for the common people to enable them stay at home.

2. Let every citizen be made to wear a face mask weighing deadly mode of CoVID19 Transmission. With this, those selling in make shift markets must have taking a protective step.

3. Let Government allow strategic Food markets within defined time and ensure the use of Masks, gloves and hand sanitizers.

4. Let Government, Spirited individuals and Corporate organizations contribute and provide palliative supports as Government alone can't achieve these tasks.

I enjoin every citizen to take every precautionary measure and stay safe. My prayer this period is for all to sing like CAESAR when he conquered Egypt: VENI VIDI VECI.

PoliticsSanusi Lamido Dethronement: Three Untouchable Kings In Nigeria by GeneralTopic(op): 12:47pm On Mar 10, 2020
Ever since Sanusi Lamido Sanusi was ousted as the emir of Kano, by the Kano State Government, I have been reading comments in here like...

"they can never try this with (Inserts the name of one compound chief from a remote village)"

"the government will never attempt to uninstall (inserts the name of a family chief)"

Bla Bla Bla...

See, there is Royalty and there is Royalty. There are momentous levels to this game that goes beyond our 50 kobo sentiments...

The aura and charisma a traditional stool oozes, together with its historical progression and significance is how it will be treated...

Apart from these SS3 boys below:

Ooni of Ife
Oba of Benin (this particular one is nobody's mate)
Sultan of Sokoto

Your traditional ruler is at the mercy of the state government. The government will install and uninstall him like a mobile app and nothing will happen�... It is a very bitter pill to swallow. I know that. But let's resist the urge to argue about "realism" and "idealism" today... On this discourse, please ignore what is ideal and rather talk about what is obtainable.

PoliticsEleme: Between Billions Dollars And The Weeping Bridge by GeneralTopic(op): 3:13pm On Jan 21, 2020
The Economic importance of Eleme to the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Rivers State and the Multinationals is undoubtedly, measured in billions of dollars generated by the aforementioned.

Imagine this earth moving, heavy duty facility conveyed via the worst section of the Eleme axis of the East West Road with a bridge begging for attention!!!!

This massive faculty closed one section of the road against other vehicles. Those conveying it are doing every thing to adjust electric cables for it to pass.... Imagine the impact of this facility on the this weeping Bridge!!!!!

The State government is building three flyovers within the state capital. The Federal Government is earning so much from Eleme, the Multinationals are having a field day yet the Eleme People are sub changed.

Political Leaders are complacent. The Youth Bodies are voiceless. Traditional Institutions in supremacy contest as the Eleme Society keep deteriorating!

I wonder where these trucks and facilities will pass the day this weeping bridge gives up.

CelebritiesSky B Is Alive, He Outsmarted You Guys by GeneralTopic(op): 8:12pm On Oct 09, 2019
SKY B OUTSMARTED YOU GUYS

.... SURMOUNTZ

Surmountz a Port Harcourt based music artist has Condemned the attitude of Nigerian bloggers, promoters and social media users whose only stock in trade is circulating bad news in the entertainment industry instead of promoting it.

Coming on the heels of the recent news about the death of Sky B another Port Harcourt Rap Artist, Surmountz said Sky B outsmarted the public by faking his death to get into the front pages again.

He decried the situation where bloggers and promoters paid deaf ears to all the singles Sky B had been releasing only to get over zealous with the news of his death

Earlier Yesterday it was reported that Sky B, Portharcourt Born, Nigerian Rapper was confirmed dead at the Federal Medical Centre Imo State after a Heart Attack.

Sky B is very much alive and not dead as it was rumored.

After the news broke out yesterday, some of his friends who called him have confirmed that he is very much alive and the death rumor is faked to make him trend again and also wake up his dying musical career.

Recall that Sky B after his famous time way back 2007 has been working hard and dishing out singles but yet nothing, so he put this up as a means to have your attention to his soon dropping singles.

I am still wondering if faking someone's death is not a crime. I only remember that suicide is not criminal offense when you succeed in committing the crime.

BusinessRe: Scammed By A Nigerian Friend In The US by GeneralTopic: 12:21pm On Sep 03, 2016
And that reminds me, if the job you're talking about is not legal , as in, it's fraud (wire transfer, wire wire, MD, client pick up, ACH and money market) omo, Forget ur money , that dude will be serving a jail term now or probably might have refund the money to the bank cos after cashing out and the bank finds out its a bad transfer or bad cheque, he will be contacted. Juju no go even work for this matter cos em no sabi road to USA. But if it's not all this above mentioned, you better contact interpol as earlier said. I can help you with their contact cos I have my elder as an official interpol police in lagos.
BusinessRe: Scammed By A Nigerian Friend In The US by GeneralTopic: 10:37am On Sep 03, 2016
If you truly need your money, go to interpol, get his necessary details and every related evidence of transactions. They will get it done within a week, he will be arrested there in the US by interpol. Interpol police is everywhere in the world. You can find them in Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt, calabar and other big cities. Thank me later.

braimeddy:
Is there any evidence that he was shot by the police? It's very possible that his rival used this opportunity to knock him down. And moreover I don't think policemen are foolish enough to use real bullets for students who protesting peacefully. Even though it was the police that actually killed him, more that 1 student would be dead. My observation is that his killing is a set up by his rivals
You must be sick... Zombie... I was there live and direct wen men of SARz came. The student were bold enough to stand on there right. As I'm talk to u now, 3girls n 2boys are reported dead. I jst left the hospital right now.

depressedsoul:
I was born and bred in Lagos Nigeria. i am over 30 but swimming in poverty. i attended a university in Ogun state but i dropped out due to the loss of my mother who happened to be my sponsor back then. My father died before i was 4years old so i had no one to fall back on. I am the only child and life has been so cruel to me. I have no job at hand. My fathers family has taken possession of his property at Agege Lagos because they insist my mother had me for another man due to stories i'm hearing for the first time since my parent's demise. The story of my life is so wide, bitter and depressing. The moral of my epistle is that i need a casual job to survive. I am contemplating suicide at the moment and i almost drank sniper insecticide today. This is my last attempt at survival before i do the needful on my existence. Nairalanders please help me find any legal job be it unskilled labour. I have tried and tried but to no avail. Pardon me for been incoherent. I am a depressed soul waiting to see if my life can have a second chance.

This is not fraud nor scam. if you really want to know how real my story is kindly send me a private message.
