Nairaland / General / Re: 10 Ways To Remain Poor by ikooko(m): 12:36am On Mar 11, 2013 |
[quote author=BedLam]HOW TO REMAIN POOR.. 4} Don't engage in activities usually reserved for the " uneducated "... How can you a graduate engage in petty trade or home based production?? That's for people who never went to school. 5} Don't think of starting a business until an angel comes from heaven & give U capital.. @ poster, You may need to clarify further on point #4. Especially on the definition of 'uneducated'. To me education has nothing to do with your paper certificate. As a matter of fact,there are millions people out there without formal education, hence they are smart and more knowledgeable in money making processes while majority keep deceiving themselves with paper qualifications. The point am making is that anyone can engage in any activity as long as you properly defined set of goals to achieve from it. With time, You can then apply your education to do it differently. It matter not if you do it in your backyard or your kitchen considering the high rate of unemployment and lack of capital in Nigeria. |

uihebom: To be honest I like dis man , all dis power plant GEJ is posing with now,na who start am 6years ago.forget o its just like GEJ signing a power plant contract with oyibo and it mature 6years later. Na who do am, is it the past presido or the present one. That is the irony, most people are blinded to his achievements due to their hatred for obj.

afam4eva: EFCC should pick up this guy. He's just confessed to looting the treasury Which EFCC? For your information, he will not spend his personal money to fix. You must have forgotten how much was allocated to past presidents in 2012 budget. Even in the absence of that, FG will still take it up. Anything that happenes to him while alive is still the responsibility of FG. |

Fact is there is no network better than Airtel in terms of tariffs and customer service. This have always been their tradition, I have been making calls to all network @ #12/min for 3yrs now, when others were charging btw #18 - #36 p/m. I just found out also that airtel will soon increase the data size attached to BB plans @ same rate. With airtel, who care what network you belong to? Just say your number. 2 Likes |

If OBJ is foolish, he wount be president twice. Besides if not for OBJ, your faith in this country will still be subjected to northern oligachy. Leave hatred and tell us who among our past presidents is more internationally recognised/acceptable/relevant more than OBJ? 1 Like |

Hello guys, hope we doing fine in our various farms? This is another dry season with its own characteristic challenges for fish farmers. Ie availability of water, temparature etc etc. I also observed that marketing is bad right now, buyers offering btw #180-#250 as against #400-#500 in the last 2months. Let us compare notes for a sucessful dry season farming. |

This man is a great man no doubt. Ordinarily I expected more birthday wishes from all conners but the absense of that is better explained by his trabalism and insult to his elders. I also believed that his achievements were overated for obvious reasons. He started well but messed up at the tail end. All the same, HBD Chinua Achebe, I pray you become redeemable before your time. ...........................With Love from Oodua Kingdom. |

cjrane: Achebe spoke the truth. I would have been disappointed if he did not stick to his tradition of speaking what happened,no matter who feels angry that he dared to speak.The truth is the truth even if it took a million years to say it. In that case, Achebe should acknowledge also that Ojukwu arrogantly led his people to be slaughtered senselesly. 3 Likes |

realborn: Shocking inappropriate comments pals.That is my disappointment with prof. Even if his intension is noble the approach is flawed. In the first instance every actor in the war should be properly appraised before passing blames, and secondly there are better approaches to addressing such national issues by an elder stateman. Well Pa Awolowo's actions was inevitable during the war and by his antecedent I have no doubt that he would have apologized to igbo people if he were still alive today but I have not read anywhere that Ojukwu accepted and apologized to his people for leading them to the war he knew he can't win despite that he lived several years after the war. 1 Like |

bashr8: simple and that weakness and smartness of awolowo is what achebe is exposing so everyone can analyse. if we must move foward then we must stop idolizing evil people and politicians both past and present.Do you imagine Awo took the advantage at a political rally or at a business meeting? No, he did at wartime. If Ojukwu with his arogancy and penchant for war has such opportunity he will do worst than Awo to achieve biafran republic. My point is, IF achebe must blame at all, he should start with Ojukwu for not doing his home work thoroughly, afterall Awo wouldn't have taken such decision if there was no war. Do you imagine WAR to be child's play? 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Awolowo Was Driven By An Overriding Ambition For Power-chinua Achebe by ikooko(m): 3:20am On Oct 06, 2012 |
Going by this book, one may not be too far from truth to conclude that the hidden reason why Achebe refused CFR award was not because of curruption in the country per se but for his commitment to biafran and bitterness of biafran war. IMO I expected prof. Chinua Achebe as an old man to be an ambassodor of peace in this country, look critically at both sides of the coin and apply blame appropriately but not taking sides. But if biafra really wants to be sovereign, they should apply the legal options available within the interational laws. All this holier than thou, I better pass my neighbor will take them nowhere. 1 Like |

Whatever the fact is, my igbo people will forever hate Awolowo for what he did no doubt but let us leave sentiments aside and answer this simple question: was Obafemi Awolowo more guity for his role in biafran war than Ojukwu the warlord? IMO,Awolowo was just smart to identify the weakness (loophole)of Ojukwu and he used it, simple. If Achebe called Awolowo greedy and a mass muderer, what would he call Ojukwu without been bias? 3 Likes |
