Literature / Re: Books By Chinua Achebe That You've Read? by Kilode1: 1:30pm On Mar 22, 2013 |
Iirc, i think verything except Soul Brother and his memoir... I read his critique of Conrad as a teen and it opened my eyes and mind to how words and stereotypes influence perception. So sad. 1 Like |

musiwa22: is that the true picture.. or is it another yahoo yahoo by nairaland, before i make comment.. Egbon Musiwa, se e lo jigi yin ni? Yes, that's his picture. It's ok to comment now. I met Chief Lotin once or twice as a child, you can touch the aura of influence around him. I'm not surprised many like him. I'm sure many more will miss him. He obviously served many with his influence. Like the Ondos will say: Bi oiho kan san, a han nugba onehn ~If one head is successful it can spread to two hundred people~ It's funny how people still call him Chief Lotin though, his old title before he became the traditional "PM" Lisa of Ondo. RIP to him. |

Isale, o ga o! Ki la gbe?! Kileru? Your imagination may be ahead of you on this one, but who am I to reject good tidings? I think Odu Ose Meji addressed this already, so who am I to reject children, especially when prophesied by awon Iya mi. Ire o, Ase Edumare! |

Nigerians love these American motivational speakers sha. RIP to the man HQ: 10 quotes from Zig Ziglar. . . Quote #7 is an often repeated error. It's wrong. We discussed it here: https://www.nairaland.com/637417/reuters-mocks-inecs-incompetence-over/4#8050586 |

Politics / Re: NL Political Dialogue Nov 2012: STATE POLICE - ARE WE READY FOR IT? by Kilode1: 10:18pm On Nov 24, 2012 |
Great job, guys! Well done to all the debaters. DeepSight was just too much. It was no contest really. His question and point which i'm posting below is something to chew on. "We cannot have a State Judiciary and State Department of Public Prosecutions without a State enforecment Unit." That point summarizes the ridiculousity of our structure. A structure forced down the throat of 160million people by a visionless military-political class. It's a shame we are still trying to manage that vision in 2012 rather than radically overhauling it. Think about this next time you support a politician in Nigeria: 1. Can this person lead a radical change in this country? 2. Does he have antecedents to fight entrenched interests and policies? Your sincere answer should guide your choice. Well done DeepSight. 4 Likes |

Jarus, when are you going to open the debate thread for chair throwing? I've been holding this Iroko chair for several minutes now and the thing is getting heavy. I'm aiming at that one judge that gave a low score to DeepSight... |

Politics / Re: Aviation Sector Weak, Stagnant — Report by Kilode1: 5:12am On Nov 21, 2012 |
ROFL On a more serious note, this report reminds me of a rather emphatic, or shall I say prophetic declaration by my brotha, Papabrowne, several months ago. Take a look: https://www.nairaland.com/906312/finally-renovating-airports/1 By the way, I also heard the Benin-Ore road contract has been cancelled. So much for gradualism, positivism and spin and spell. No PR can fix a bad product. A bad leader will always attract bad advisers and ministers... |

Katsumoto: Wondering why the section regulars are not throwing their hats into the ring. I'll report myself, thank you. Yes, I'm an advocate of State Police/Locally controlled Law enforcement. I have NL posts to prove it. BUT: I'm not sure I can spend this weekend fine tuning a NL treatise, complete with 10 pages of references and a bibliography like the erudite Katz did last time Cop out attempt: I'm no longer as regular. I can't spare this weekend, things are tight here abeg |
Politics / Re: All Those Glorious Years We Spent in Nigeria - A Ghanaian Experience by Kilode1: 6:42am On Nov 08, 2012 |
ekt_bear: I did not realize that this country was once so sweet. It was. Mostly a blur now, I was too young. But I remember shopping at Kingsway with my parents. I remember my Indian Science teachers ( at a public school o) and one or two Ghanaian ones too. We can become a destination country again, but we have work to do, radical work. Gradualism won't get us there. 1 Like 1 Share |
Education / Re: Maths Tricks, Questions And Brain Teasers by Kilode1: 11:50pm On Oct 31, 2012 |
Off Topic post, apologies. ekt_bear: .... Bro, I just read that NYT link in your profile. Good read. Have you read John Ogbu's work? He was a Berkeley Prof. of Sociology. His work "A Study of Academic Disengagement" was a seminal research on that topic. Died years ago. He was from Nigeria too. He identified immigrant culture as the reason for the disparity explained in that article and not innate intelligence or anything like that. I wonder how African immigrant kids (1st - 2nd Gen ) do on that New York test, I won't be surprised if they compare well with Asians. Review here: http://www.hepg.org/her/abstract/38 Ogbu's bio: http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/senate/inmemoriam/johnogbu.htm |

Deep Sight: Please whatever topic Deep Sight wants to debate, let us have it next. I want more of those religious section "philosophers" here. @Jarus, BTW, I thought you said two debates: Saturday/Sunday, or did I read that wrong? What happened to the SNC debate last week? No takers? |

State Police is a very relevant topic. I approve. |
Politics / Re: The Scandal Of Census Figures by Kilode1: 7:04pm On Oct 30, 2012 |
Dayokanu's opinion up there is not really different from his past position on Nigeria. The "warriors" of the Niger Delta sacrificed their struggle on the altar of GEJ's ambition... Hopefully it will pay off. @Topic, but of course... |

Katsumoto and Obinoscopy, well done, guys. I see the debate followed the schedule and posted format. Impressive coordination by Jarus, OAM4J and others. ndu_chucks: Hope springs eternal, Alhaji One Naijeriya. |

Jarus: Good. Please plan it quick quick. No time. For those you don't have influence with or access to, maybe some NLder's can help if you ask. EX: I'll like to have Senator Sola Adeyeye and Tambuwal come on here to discuss the seeming impotence of our Senate, or justify the vulgar salary and allowances they collect when 70% or more of our people are suffering |
Politics / Re: NL Monthly Political Debate by Kilode1: 4:55am On Oct 24, 2012 |
I'm very late to this. I guess I'll just stand in the overflow and read the debates... But this?? PointB: O ga o. Na wa o. Anyway sha... At least that guy forced a Japo-Afghani-Spaniard like Katsumoto to defend my e-honour Good Initiative. But NL is old and big enough to start bringing in real world political actors for debates. If Obama can go on Reddit, Tambuwal should be encouraged to come here and debate Sagamite...or Kobojunkie sef.. |

Politics / Re: Insight: Murky Deals Cast Doubt Over Nigeria's Power Sell-off by Kilode1: 7:48pm On Oct 21, 2012 |
eGuerrilla: @Rossike, your matter-of-fact view on the encroachment of a home-grown oligarchy ("money men" is both refreshing and disturbing. I share your worry, but like I often say, the biggest ideological struggle in Nigeria is/will be between Radicals and Gradualists. May the gods put us on the right side of history. Rossike's opinion is not an outlier, i've heard so many people express same in the last 4 years. I believe this administration and their top advisers share that opinion too... eGuerrilla, Your own opinion is very common also - the idea that we are strengthening a super-class elite that will answer to their own rules, even more than they already do now and by so doing bring our people more ruin, more economic oppression and concentrated poverty... Those are just my interpretations, they may not be correct for you guys.. Those two positions will continue to shape Nigeria's political economy. The quote below from Jeffery Winters, Northwestern professor of political science, aptly described why we must not let ourselves get carried away, why we must apply balance... "Oligarchy rests on the concentration of material power. Democracy on the dispersion of non-material power" - Winters Quote edit* |

Kilode?!: *Coughs* And I have always pointed out that if there are areas where we share same values, we can collaborate. I believe in state police for example. ] I believe that we must decentralise power to a very large extent in Nigeria. *Coughs again* May the morning meet my people well. Ase! |
