Happy birthday Prof Soyinka. I celebrate you and your achievements in the literary world. I grew up reading your works like The Lion and The Jewel, The Jero Plays, The Interpreters and a lot of other poems.
In as much as I disagree with your political leanings, it does not stop me from admiring your intellectual prowess and sagacity in the field of literature. Your Nobel Prize in literature is a testament to the fact that you are a don in the literary space.
Happy birthday Prof. I wish you live longer and more energetic life sir.
Kind regards. 12 Likes |

Mindlog: By JAMB's regulations, is it not allowed for an enrolled student in a university or expelled from the university, to sit for another JAMB in order to move to another university to study a different course? I know many students that rewrote JAMB after they were offered courses they didn't fancy. Mind you, such students were already admitted into courses such as Medical laboratory, Biochemistry, Microbiology etc. Some others rewrote JAMB while studying Theatre Arts, Linguistics etc to get admitted into Law. |

yemmit90: Government don't own properties, you only acquire them through through government. Check my subsequent post in this thread for explanation.
The same system western countries all of us are running to is operating. But you cannot build in Nigeria without government involvement. So how is this different from what you are proposing? I agree with you that the government should have packages for older citizens but your proposal is advanced socialism which is another term for communism. |
Politics › Re: Tinubu Can Only Be Countered This Time By A Northerner - Dele Momodu(vid) by kachistone: 11:59pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
Obaaderemi2: If the northerner had picked Obi as running mate in 2023 he would have destroyed tinubu before 3pm It wouldn't have worked because the sentiment down south was for power shift and Buhari destroyed the "unity" in the country by running a "Fulani government." Don't forget what Wike and the G-5 govs did. APC would have had a similar issue if BAT wasn't given the ticket. There would have been an implosion in the party. PDP could have won that election if they gave OBI or any Southerner the ticket as the momentum before the election was against APC because of Buhari's misrule. |
TV/Movies › Re: Only People Born In 80's Will Understand by kachistone: 11:54pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
DeepSight: You are describing Welfare States that operate in a capitalist setting and as such are really mixed socialist economies. This is different from the communism you at first recommended. He is mixing welfarism with communism. I still wonder how his postulation that government should own all properties can spur development. He doesn't know that it could lead to capital flight as people will take their capital to areas with freedom. |
TV/Movies › Re: Only People Born In 80's Will Understand by kachistone: 11:47pm On Jul 05, 2025 |
yemmit90: That is who we are by nature and circumstances. Nigeria and Africa need these 3 solid rules to make progress.
1. Forbid private ownership of properties. No one should be allow to erect a structure except government or authorised agencies. All land should belong to the government.
2. Government most take total of 100% care of the young below 18yrs and those above 65yrs.
3. Social security for unemployed people should be a must for the government.
If we can do all or one of the above, you will see a tremendous human development like what we are seeing in western countries. You don't expect poverty striken people whose major focus is to accumulate wealth for the future to be innovative. How do you think government ownership of all properties can spur development? This looks like extreme socialism. Can you explain how government ownership of all properties can lead to development ? |

It would cause serious problems at the N/East where Shettima hails from. Getting Kwankwaso into the APC will solidify BAT's chances of reelection but choosing him as a VP will make him lose. Adding Shettima and his supporters to the disgruntled Northern politicians won't be ideal. Don't forget El Rufai and his people are still plotting. |

You are enjoying democracy that's why you can run your mouth. The addressed you gave on democracy day even though you are not in any position to do that could have put you in trouble but the presidency don't just have time for your pettiness.
Continue lamenting, nagging and crying all in the name of opposition Are you happy that children were lined up in the rain to welcome the president in Benue on a solemn visit? It looked like a carnival instead of a visit to a state that had had at least 200 residents who were massacred. It is wrong. |

Politics › Re: Quick Summary Of Our Requests Towards The Electoral Reforms by kachistone: 12:01am On May 26, 2025 |
BluntCrazeMan: QUICK SUMMARY OF OUR ELECTORAL REFORMS REQUESTS:
(We are a civil society organization registered in Nigeria [name withheld].. We submitted our request for electoral reforms at the two national assembly houses, and also submitted same requests to the members of electoral reform committees in the both houses.)
In addition, I don't think INEC should testify in courts about an election. They will always defend themselves no matter how shoddy the election is. Instead, they should just supply whatever the parties in the elections ask at the courts. I think the lawyers call them exhibits.
Look at JAMB for example, they vowed about the integrity of these last exams but an external audit revealed otherwise.
INEC should not be joined in post election matters in my opinion. Just supply the materials needed at the courts and let the parties argue about them.
1. We requested for a Direct & Instant Electronic Transmission of the results into the “Digitized Electronic Collation System”, coupled with an Instant Electronic Collation of results.
2. We requested for a Direct & Instant uploading of the photos of polling-units-results, and also uploading of the photos of ALL the collated-results which were officially announced at all the collation levels.
3. We requested for a Compulsory and Immediate Forensic Auditing of all the election results at all levels, including the Forensic Auditing of the BVAS and the IREV, and also for all the papers and documents which were used for the election.
4. We requested that the CTCs of all tendered documents must be admitted as evidence during the Petition Tribunals, and not to be regarded as “DUMPED”, (Let it not be that since there are no series of multiple witnesses to testify to the individual CTCs, then it wouldn't be admitted.).
5. We requested that the staff of INEC (Both permanent and adhoc staff) must be identified with special unique staff-tag identity-numbers which gets re-issued for every election cycle, and every staff who signs any sheet must indicate his own unique staff-tag identity-number beside his name and signature on any of such sheets.
..
..
*** AND THEN,, IN THE ALTERNATIVE *** SHOULD IN CASE THE SUGGESTED REFORMS WERE NOT SUCCESSFULLY PASSED INTO LAW.
Then, we suggested that the party-agents should brace-up, because they will now have lots of works to do during the elections, since the old Electoral Laws would still be the laws that are still in place.
a. The party-agents should be more meticulous and detailed while raising their disputes., and they should carefully note down all the noticed errors at any stage.
b. They should get the full names and positions of the INEC Officers, and write them down properly.
c. They should get video evidence of whenever the INEC officials are calling out the results, and also, get video evidence of when they themselves are raising the disputes and also when the INEC Officials are giving their own responses to the issues that were raised in the disputes.
d. They should make sure not to storm-out of the centers (or leave the centers) out of anger, no matter what the officials are doing.. And then, they must have to sign the sheets and indicate on the original sheet that they disagreed -- this could be done by writing “DISAGREE” on the sheet after signing.

I love sweet potatoes but the shelf life is the problem. You bought on the 30th of April and finished eating it on the 16th of May. That is less than 18 days. If you keep it for one month, it might begin to change. But yam isn't like that as it has a long shelf life. That is one advantage of yams over sweet potatoes. You can store it for long. |

By the way, the target of my post was to show the youths that tribalism isn't necessary because there are good and bad people in all tribes. And everyone that is conversant with this website will see the tribal slurs that have been bandied on this platform. That was why I posted what I did. You can't deny the fact that it exists in this platform and my calling it out is a way of making people see the foolishness in engaging in such. So how is it a bad thing?
