Lie of the century...chai.


He has no connection, I repeat "no connection" with the internet... He neither designed the fastest nor the most cost effective computer... He was even the first runner up in the competition and since an individual or a team is not allowed to go home with two awards, the judges decided to give him an award as the first runner up.


The development of the internet started before he was born in the 1950s... He neither designed any model nor any protocol.

Thank you.
Is this in a bid to promote a Nigerian tribe as great or what? Emeagwali is a phenomenon, but he never invented the internet. 'Internet' wasn't even a product of a single person. Many contributed to it and then largely the PhD works of the British Sir Tim Berners-Lee blew it open.
People just copy ignorance and spread it apace.

Craigslists:
No dey put mouth for weytin no concern you Eldee. If to sing don tire you just rest and stop using this yahoo saga to trend.

No be yahoo boys be Nigeria problems.
Yahoo is just a means to an end. Hunger dey everywhere and the social inequalities in Nigeria is too wide. You guys should get your priorities straight.

Deal with the disease (corrupt leaders) and not the symptoms (yahoo yahoo).

Una think say if boys stop to dey press una go fit sleep with una eyes closed again. I laugh because Na everyday boys go come dey knock una gate o.

Only amnesty for yahoo boys with an assurance of good jobs can end yahoo yahoo.
If not, una go wake up one day hear say boys don sell naija for Craiglist.

As much as I don't like folks speakin in favour of yahoo, I have to concur on the bigger picture you painted. You are actually right! Cyber crime is the least of problems bedeviling Nigeria. The leaders have done so much more wickedness that yahoo seems almost like righteousness compared to their acts. Nigeria almost needs more than a miracle to be great.

HigherEd:
The jet in itself can never be the problem.
With God intentions really ultimately matters. God cursed Cain for Killing Abel from the wickedness of his heart. That same God vindicated Moses for killing the Egyptian who was oppressing the Israelites.

The Law of God states that "thou shalt not kill" yet David slew thousands and God never said a word. The day David murdered an innocent man and committed adultery, he paid dearly for it.

If a person genuinely in his heart believes that a Private jet amplifies his capacity to preach the gospel then he should go ahead and purchase the jet..

Subtotal of the whole thing.
To God, intention(motive) is more important than action.

NobleAngell:
This is nice. Why can't people part in peace like this? It doesn't mean the journey was rosy all the way but at least we should appreciate the good times more. This is maturity. Life is too short to hold grudges. We are all on the same ship on this voyage called LIFE.

Words on marble.
Filled with wisdom!

Even at the rate citizens are leaving the country?

lilfreezy:
Well, it appears we are going to be having a spurs vs Ajax semifinals. If you know, you know

Hahahaha

Okay

Many are so true, few are so personal.
Many even have Biblical tone in them.

Woods is finally out of the woods.
His is a story of persistence, and that 'if if you fall, you can still rise.'

sharpwriter:
Abi ...that is one of the problems with us ... perhaps maybe that is why God hasn't raised up great prophets like him in our generation, because we go turn am to God and idolize him and they become a snare to us. I dont know if whites do worship at the graves of Smith Wigglesworth or William Branham or the likes... we never read about this with ppl of the early church and thegraves of the apostles

You are there!
The name of Wigglesworth you mentioned is refreshing my memory of his acts written.

The great flocking with the great.

Maths is the progenitor of anything engineering. If you could enjoy products of engineering, know that maths is the subject to respect.

Sometimes, I justify the difficulty of those pure and applied mathematics by thinking that it is as making of great feats and exploits, which if it were easy everyone would do it.

Imagination gave birth to most of those maths. A reason why it is difficult to grasp by folks not given to using imagination. No wonder the beloved enigmatic Eintein said that imagination is more important than knowledge.

[quote author=Slurity post=77355663]Wake up from your dream to reality my friend. What is the population of students then and sophistication of courses offered in those days as compared to now? If you want free education please go back to 1970s and enjoy yours.[/quote

He needs to really wake up. Even aside the rise of population, where was education free nationwide at the tertiary institutions during those periods? There is nowhere world wide where government is responsible solely for education. It is a cold hard truth. The researches and quality of education then can't survive today's complex world. Our education is abysmal just because it is not driven by the best of world-class researches, technology and approaches because of funding. And government can't do it all. BUT at same time, government too has their blames really.

It is life of who remains standing after all the ups and downs.
Frustration of life is a given. Disappointment when it needs to come is a constant. But those who choose to live regardless of life punches at their faces, coupled with their preparation will always have a break.

Survival of the fittest and the longest standing is real!

There will come a time; children will start prosecuting their parents for raising them in Nigeria.

Hmmm

HigherEd:
What a theory... First it is poor peoples tithe, now it is SS governors money. And why exactly would they be giving Oyedepo ministry billions in funding?.. Tell me why, because when you get down to it most of these SS governors are not Pentecostals, rather Anglicans and the likes. So what would be the motivation for giving Oyedepo money.

There is no such thing as any governor giving churches properties. All properties owned by churches in Ogun state were paid for by billions of naira to traditional owners. It's a free economy and anyone can purchase anything. And the churches keep bringing popularity, businesses and taxes to their local areas and state govt. According to BBC, over $1million exchange is done during canannland Sunday services. Their schools and businesses within their campuses employ thousands of indigenes who still pay taxes to the state govt. The church housing estates are subjected to land use charge levies. So in many ways Ogun state benefits from Churches. And the relationship is worth millions of USD. I believe any sane Governor in Ogun state would help facilitate any required assistance needed by the church...

Don't mind that guy. He is as ignorant as it comes.

Almost everyone cursing the colonial masters.
I don't get it.
What Nigerians have done to themselves is worse that what British ever did to Nigeria.

Someone said you are not a failure until you blame others for your predicament.
Nigeria can't even compare to Ghana, and I doubt if they blame those who granted them independence like it is done here.
If British still hold the rein in Nigeria till today, I believe it would have been better than it is today.
So called Nigerian leaders are the errors which happened to the country.

In as much as freedom, independence is cool and good, it comes with much more accountability and management,which the country has failed in all fronts, and still failing. Colonial Masters are not the reason corruption is dealing a bad blow to Nigeria, neither the reason why justice system is selectively handicapped.

Your courage will soon be rewarded. The best advice has been given, which is patience.

Every other person's vilifying you that you are looking for get quick rich thingy, look away from them. They would have lamented more than you if they were in your stead.


However
In addition, critique your approach, do passion-check at what you are doing, simply do some self-appraisal. If you don't have passion for blogging/writing, you are in for drudgery. If after 3 years, your skill and knack for writing is still suffering from majorly not knowing what to write, you really need to question if you truly have passion for writing/blogging. After 3 years, your skill of writing should have so much enhanced that you aren't struggling for what to write again. Growth and creativity should have happened to you in that realm. You wonder where and how novels writers get words and pictures from to write fictions (things that never happened) to fill hundreds of pages?

You may not as well need to be doing all the three things you mentioned, only one thing that you have passion for is enough to give you a landmark break. Find your place and fill it to the brim.

Linda Ikeji had done many things before finally settling down to blogging, and blogging she did for about a decade before exploding. What kept her going before her breaks?

Self-examination calls on you in the long run. Whichever thing you resolve, rewards come on the train of patience.
Good luck.

Great message, wrong messenger.
You once were rigged in before. Obanikoro was your accomplice-in-chief.

Larryslim:
This blackface na idiot!
You said 2face stole your song, for over 10years, you can't enter studio and make another song.
Even 2face has dropped so many hits over the last three years, like amaka, holy holy, oyi, gaga shuffle etc.
Or 2face steal your talent join?

Exactly my thought.
All the songs 2face has released till date which are hits, is blackface the same person 2face stole them from?
He fails to realize that you may teach someone something, but eventually be less recognized and successful as the one you taught, if at all he actually taught 2face. Just like KSA seems more popular and richer than the man who taught him how to play the gitar. It is life.
But if he truly wants to claim that he is indeed talented, where are his hit releases from over the decade? Someone just wants to be relevant via hate outburst.

Most Nigerians are active on social media, but not in carrying out civil responsibility and rejecting the excesses of government in real time.

superior1:
Iyanya broke no b small.

He forged your signature and you didn't take him to court, talk another thing bros

Especially my thought. Anyone who could believe that line would believe anything.

doublewisdom:
Oyedepo is confused. The Bible says that " by strength shall no man prevail ".

You don't need to be insulting because you disagree with another's opinions or because your own knowledge doesn't permit you to give in for more.

Same Bible says work out your salvation with fear and with trembling; that's same salvation we already 'have' by accepting Christ; is God contradicting Himself? Definitely NO!
Same Bible says no man is saved by good works also says he who does righteousness is righteous 1 John 3:7
It is rather to attest to the fact that God is not responsible for our lives 100%.

You don't take one verse of the Bible and runs with it without balancing it with other Scriptures.

Many individuals attacking the messenger never finished reading the 'treatise' by Dele Momodu.
It is a proof that sychophants live by ignorance, blind-followership and delusion much more than anything.
Regardless of how the messenger is perceived, the message has truths embedded in it.
APC or PDP, power will always elude you some day, it is how you handled power while in your grasp that determines if history will be kind to you or not.

That was Vien Tetsola or so that year. One of them, most likely 2face, dated her.

CodeTemplar:
So what's special about €100m and
how much did APC spend in 2015 elections? Buhari is too obsessed with the idea of nailing opposition members with his anti corruption war.
I hope the 'independent' EFCC asks questions about Bola Tinubu's bullion vans also.

Are you being mindful of these hypocrites?
What of the mountains of monies too heavy that aircraft couldn't lift up which powers that be stopped its own sponsored agency from probing? Too big a country of a joke. Seems Nigeria can't ever be a fair place towards everyone regardless of who-is-who they are with all these type of leaders in power, all of them I mean. Nigeria has never really had a true leader.

emere007:
Thanks my brother for you submission, but unfortunately the fellow you quoted is one without soul, comprehension or conscience, he is just a roving demon who seeks some sort of relevance by adoring and selling the hypocrite and devils's reincarnate who doubles as the President to the gullible and foolish, telling them of his infallibility and fake "integrity". He is a lost soul, pitiable, lost in his poor and reprehensible convictions. So arguing with him or trying to make him see reason and logic is at best just a waste of your precious time my brother. If he is indeed a southerner, it is so sad that we have people who drown in so much stupidity, seeking out others to infect with their innate foolishness. Imagine telling us of Buhari's integrity? can u imagine? when will these dregs and vermins realize that we do not suck on the lifeless one's jaundiced balls. I weep for this nation, when are we going to realize that as far as the North and its elements are in charge of our affairs, we will continue to drag the terrible Human Development Index placements with war thorn nations like Syria, Afghanistan and others.
It is sad brother, another four years of lifelessness, wanton killings, nepotism, heightened tensions and extra judicial killings. They are fast to label you a wailer, while clutching to the crumbs that falls off the table of the Dullard (that is if he even know they exist), pathetic.

But I get consoled in all of this, "YES, WE CAN"

Sound judgement.
How many of them even have access to the crumbs? The matter on ground is beyond APC/PDP, the important question is, is Nigeria of today in good shape, let alone better? I have always wondered what those supporting the government of the day are feeding on.

Why didn't you write this before election? All this unworthy analysis. If it's Buhari also, something else would be written too. Like a goal keeper who has been told where penalty kick is coming. This is not analysis.

Yes it is free indeed, from the perceived clutch of Saraki to strangling hands of Jagaban*dit*

Congrats

Where is improvement?

Lifestone:
Somehow Nigeria.
This is a Legend rusting away at old age. Where are all the benefits of the proprietary rights on his works?
I keep saying a system that's not working will endanger everybody in it. This man, given the numbers of films he featured in and probably produced himself has no business been a candidate of donations.

It is more than pathetic. It calls for sober reflection. Old age is a blessing, at least people don't want to leave the scene in their prime, but come to think of the state of Nigeria; people might want to apportion blame that he wasted time he was meant to save and invest, but how many of them even have good things to live on let alone to save and invest; they are always on viewers' faces year round in borrowed costumes, effects and cars, very few of them are barely living above average. Most of what they showcase is not theirs and there is no system in place to make them reap the fruits of their labours. Piracy as a monster dealing them deadly blows. I was shocked few weeks ago when I read that a particular Nollywood septuagenarian legend declared himself bankrupt since 2 years ago. This is a man who acts so well in both English and Yoruba movies, whose appearance in movies describe wealth, but it is a make-believe world...and a plain irony at its best.
It is only Baba Suwe's own they are hearing today who is down with sickness and having no savings to help himself out; there are many more among them whose situation is equally pathetic, the saving grace is because no life threatening situation is staring them in the face yet... which I don't wish for them for sure.
It is a very sorry situation.

ifyalways:
Sorry but his colleagues are not his family and don't owe him any thing. Those names you listed are actually struggling men, with their own problems and likely don't have so much to give out.

While young and fit, plan your Life. Invest in health insurance and open a pension account.

If people decide to give you , fine. If they Don't, life goes on.

Wisdom aptly expressed
