kyber: This book brings back a lot of memories. folk tales stories that we believe to be real when we were kids only to grow and realize there weren’t.
These stories were so soothing to us as kids and widened our imagination.
But We were lied to in our childhood.
But you see this Gen Z kids, they ain’t experiencing that now with TikTok and other social media taking over. Lolz they are even wiser cause they won’t even believe any animal story we tell them, They would rather google it.
I remember at night when my pops would sit me down after eating Eba and banga soup and tell me story about the cat that got a bell tied to his neck to alert the rats of his arrival so they could run away just in time before his arrival .
Or is it the tortoise that kept eating yams he didn’t work for ? Then he got caught and thrown into hot fire only for him to laugh saying the fire couldn’t hurt him. Then they threw him into the sea and off he went, escaped,what a cunning animal lol
Share your experience and the folktale story you were told as a kid.
ojehmario1969: if asernal sign rice, commentators will be like ordegard, holding, white, rice who's Arsenal's adviser? That amount is too huge, there must be an alternative; Fulham's Palhinha n Sporting's Ugarte. Is Rice bringing something different to the Arsenal midfield?
Update
This pple are crazy
If I was a coach in england, the english press cannot influence my decision no matter how hard they try...
MrBrownJay1: true, but also some got sent their DISMISSAL letter, or even sent to their grave, thanks to office romance (especially if it was with your boss).
In that case it is like every other thing that has positive and negative sides...
Feminews: There's gang-up Against NNPC GCEO - Group cries out
A group under the auspices of Tansparent Leadership Advocacy (TLA) has advised President Bola Tinubu not to be distracted by what the group described as "well-funded disinformation against the current NNPC management led by Malam Mele Kyari".
A media statement signed by the group's Chairman Dr. Musa Adam revealed that a politically-motivated media campaign has been launched by "interests operating from the shadows, since the inglorious exit of CBN's governor Godwin Emefiele from the management of the apex bank".
Adam, in the statement, noted that the new media plot against NNPC and Mele Kyari was "first hatched when news of successful oil discovery and its official presidential commissioning started in Kolmani River Field( Bauchi-Gombe axis) on November 22 followed closely by drilling in Obi/Keana of Nasarawa State on the 21st of March 2023."
The statement also pointed out that "some unpatriotic elements, operating from the shadows have been unsettled by the transparent culture introduced into the new-look NNPC by the Kyari management, as well as policing of the oil pipelines to check theft".
The group then stated this: "Kyari introduced the Roadmap to Global Excellence, anchored on TAPE Agenda, which means Transparency, Accountability, Performance and Excellence and it has remained the guiding rubric of his era. Every month, the NNPC publishes all its transactions in the conventional and new media platforms - something that has never happened in the economic history of this nation.".
The TLA, in the statement also described the NNPC GCEO as a man of strict principles, an exceptionally devout Muslim in his private life, who has committed to using his personal earnings in the service of the weak and the poor in the society.
The group urged President Bola Tinubu to "ignore the rantings of unpatriotic elements working hand-in-hand with fifth columnists in the oil and gas industry to spread falsehood massively in the media and create bad blood between the President and NNPC GCEO, at a critical juncture in Nigeria's economic history".
Oblitz: it could be that Putin doesn't want to take responsibility for using nuclear weapons. Wagner will now stylishly take control and unleash nuclear weapons. and Putin cannot be held responsible. it may be planned work
And that will easily invite NATO fulltime...let the war begins
I used too like his songs, but no longer...he is deliberately making his lyrics hard to understand...like he will deliberately make the lyrics not clear to ones hearing...one has to go online to see the lyrics and it is disappointing to find that words like come will be pronounced as chom, go as ooo, eyes like yias...even this particular song is the same, just that a lady was dancing else, am not interested
The day I stopped reading news from sahara reporters was the day an event happened in this country and I was opportuned to witness the said event, only for me to see same news on sahara reporters the next day reporting rubbish...
Flets: Before you all get carried away with the media propaganda associated with this FG, here are the actions to date and how it affects you (you might not feel the impact immediately but its gonna sting soon)
1. Fuel subsidy is removed and you will buy fuel for 500 to 900naira per liter (depending on the exchange rate). The savings will be looted like that of kerosene and diesel. There will be no commensurate succor/ palliative for your suffering. Instead of going after the subsidy thieves and stopping the smuggling across boarders, they have transferred the responsibility to the helpless Nigerian people.
2. Naira has been devalued (though they call it floating). The FG has handed over the exchange to the market forces where speculators and banks are king. Naira continues to fall in the I/E and parallel market. Anybody who tells you Naira will appreciate is a joker, for a corrupt country like ours, the banks and speculators are the new cabal and will drive the rates how they deem fit. Don’t believe…. Just observe. What most don’t get now is that CBN now has no obligation to provide FX at a particular rate to the market, a such the new FG players can access FX from CBN without noise.
3. FG funding for tertiary education has been removed. Students will pay upwards of 400K tuition fee starting next session. A lot of students will drop out and cannot complete their education anymore. The so-called student loan will be almost impossible for an average student without connection to access. Guess what happens to the savings from this funding…. To b looted by the same people who have impoverished the nation.
4. All the FG has done so far is abandon almost all responsibilities it has over the people through the bills being signed since May 29. All Tinubu has done is to make available funds to be shared by him and his goons at the expense of the people. Not a single bill or action aimed at ameliorating the suffering of the already downcast Nigerian people rather adding to the pain in the guise of elitist policies
5. Guess what…. Same old political criminals are back in power, Gbaja, Akume, Asari Dokubo etc and you expect any real change apart from increased suffering?. How do you expect Tinubu to pay back the these same criminals who supported him into power?
Nigerians…. Suffer no dey tire una?
.....
You first paragraph is very on point. Go after the subsidy thieves rather than transfer the burden to the poor masses...since they stopped subsidy of kerosene and diesel, what have they done with the excess
I'm from Buguma ,Asari Toru ,this Fat gulper is next,next compound to mine but I support Tompolo .
Nobody gained anything. No improvement,no nothing. Fought dirty and bloody ,just for his wives and thousand concubines.
Tried to bring Fulanis in...for his Titles and religions.
Buguma,Degema ,Abonema ,we dey wait for the useless goat.
..
Those people from west and north would want to argue with you, but ignore them... just because he posted a video of less than 50 men carrying guns they think Asari is a strong man...people are still looking at him with 2001 eye, and he was severely death with by obasanjo...
Currently, Asari is a nobody in niger delta...he only knows how to verbally attack those outside the league of men, like nnamdi kanu, .. he should come out plain against tompolo if then born am well...fat pig indeed
Everybody's out dere fighting for dere own pocket even the writer of the article....
If Asari is not corrup, he should tell nigerians how he got money to establish universities...or where does he work or what's the name of hisbm businesses ?
Someone who benefited from the corruption of previous regime all in the name of freedom fighter...
MrCGPA: This Man talks anyhow like a typical Tout and we are not surprised. He is Accusing the Military, Paramilitary and Nnamdi Kanu of Oil Theft and Unrest in the South East Carelessly. Maybe he think Tinubu will Award him Tompolo Project which is impossible. A Real Action Militant like Tompolo hardly makes Noise but Action. Tinubu must be Careful with the Fat Pig!
God bless you..he is just after the pipeline protection contract...and is so obvious
