FG Okays Re-Opening Of Seme Border For Vehicle ImportationThird-world level sophistication, Third-world mentality, what a pity. Nigeria leadership travel broadly but somehow act as though unexposed. Thank god for Dangote. |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-0BiY8P9g0 Nigeria needs to be more nimble in securing Nigeria's future economic wellbeing. We need to first start by waking up from the comfortable thirdworld mindset. Lagos Traffic gridlocks could be a metaphor for Nigeria refusing to embrace the future when the people are telling you they have outgrown the past. |

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x40VwiMHneE How Powerwall Works Powerwall gives you the ability to store energy for later use and works with or without solar. Each Powerwall system includes at least one Powerwall and a Backup Gateway, which provides energy monitoring, metering and management for the system. The Backup Gateway learns and adapts to your energy use over time, receives over-the-air updates just like the rest of Tesla's products and is capable of managing up to ten Powerwalls. With Solar When the sun rises, solar begins powering the home. When additional power is required within the home, the home can pull from the utility grid. Powerwall is charged by solar during the day, when solar panels are producing more electricity than the home is consuming. Powerwall then stores that energy until the home needs it, such as when solar is no longer producing at night, or when the utility grid is offline during a power outage. The next day when the sun comes out, solar recharges Powerwall so you have a cycle of clean, renewable energy. Without Solar If your electricity rates vary throughout the day, Powerwall will charge when electricity costs are low and discharge when electricity costs are high, generating automatic savings. Powerwall will also provide backup power by detecting grid outages and automatically becoming the home's main power source |
Death toll in Ugandan school terror attack hits 37 The Allied Democratic Forces are suspected of launching the attack. ISLAMIC STATE LINKED militants hacked and burned 37 students to death in western Uganda in the country’s worst such attack in over a decade. The Ugandan army said it was pursuing militants from the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) after the cross-border raid late yesterday on a secondary school in Mpondwe in Kasese district near the Democratic Republic of Congo. Investigators said dormitories were set alight and students cut down with knives in a the late-night assault by ADF, which is one of the deadliest groups active in DR Congo’s strife-torn east. “Unfortunately, 37 bodies have been discovered and conveyed to Bwera hospital mortuary,” Uganda Peoples’ Defence Forces (UPDF) spokesman Felix Kulayigye said in a statement. Eight people were injured while six others were kidnapped by the attackers toward Virunga National Park, which straddles the DR Congo border, he added. “UPDF embarked on pursuing the perpetrators to rescue the abducted students.” The Resident Commissioner for Kasese, Joe Walusimbi, told AFP that at least 25 of the deceased were “confirmed to be students at the school”. It is the deadliest attack in Uganda since twin bombings in Kampala in 2010 killed 76 in a strike claimed by the Somalia-based Al-Shabaab group. https://www.thejournal.ie/uganda-allied-democratic-forces-africa-terrorist-6095828-Jun2023/ “They knew where the boys and girls’ dormitories resided,” said Olum from Mpondwe. “This is why the rebels locked the boys’ dormitory and set it on fire. The rebels did not lock girls’ section and the girls managed to get out, but they were cut with machetes as they ran for safety, and others shot”. He said some of the bodies were burned beyond recognition and DNA testing would be required to identify them. “We have called for more firepower, planes to help in the rescue operation of those abducted, and locating the rebel hideouts for military action,” |
Odingo1:Psychopath's are morally ambiguous, so any form of deviancy may appeal to them at any point regardless of magnitude. They hold and are incapable of solid moral principles. They are another type of human species. |
SmartPolician:News declared that the Indian broke (not set) the record. This means, by your logic, that the Indian is a copycat. And If, according to you, breaking records is same as copycating then let's encourage Nigerians to go and copycat. |
Serious stuff. |
What happened to all the daily mass kidnappings? |
Where and how did folks on Niaraland adopt this feminine attitude of raising an otherwise objective seeming topic for conversation but that is in reality a bate for cussing and nagging? Come on people, we Nigerians are warriors not mincing, nagging womenfolk! |
Doors, gates and walls are endorsement of a property owner's distrust for the people's good will. Laws act same for Society. No doors, gates and windows will lead to a field day for the opportunist and deviants of the area likewise inoperative laws will lead to same outcomes for the wider society.... |
What is really wrong with us ooo?- Nigerian man asks Aba residents who have littered their roads with refuse days after the state govt cleared themIn short, the better question should be, "why are Nigeria laws not functioning?" |
What is really wrong with us ooo?- Nigerian man asks Aba residents who have littered their roads with refuse days after the state govt cleared themNothing wrong with Nigerians not wrong with humans generally, especially humans transitioning from idealistic traditional societies to atomise, utilitarian modern societies. Social responsibilities in modern societies aren't functions of primary socialisation within the family, extended family and immediate local community but threat by law. Since Nigeria's laws aren't inforced, Nigerians act as humans will in the utilitarian modern society, which is seek the shortest route to self satisfaction unsanctioned by absent law enforcement. |
Dear Prime Minister His Excellency Chief Bola Tinubu GCFR, I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits as you embark on your new role as the leader of our great nation. On behalf of concerned citizens of Nigeria, we extend our warmest congratulations and offer our unwavering support as you undertake the noble task of guiding our beloved country toward progress and prosperity. Allow us to begin by acknowledging the historical ties that bind us as a people, stretching across the vast expanse of time and space. The shared heritage of Africa and the African diaspora is one that holds immense significance in shaping the narratives of our respective nations. Today, we write to you with a plea for justice and solidarity, particularly in addressing the unresolved injustices inflicted upon Black Americans, Caribbean and Afro South American descendants of our own people. The shadows of the transatlantic slave trade continue to cast a long and haunting pall over the history of humanity. Countless lives were uprooted, families torn asunder, and generations condemned to indescribable suffering as a result of this horrific chapter in our collective past. The wounds inflicted upon African Americans, brothers and sisters separated from our ancestral shores, have yet to heal fully. As Nigeria, a beacon of hope and resilience on the African continent, we have an opportunity to extend a hand of compassion and rectify the enduring pain of our kin. It is with a sense of duty and empathy that we propose a profound gesture of reparation and reconciliation. We humbly request that the Nigerian government, under your esteemed leadership, offer automatic citizenship to any black American who wishes to embrace their genetic lineage and heritage within our great nation, provided they can establish a proven ancestral connection to Nigeria. By providing this opportunity, we seek to reaffirm our shared ancestry and express our commitment to healing the wounds inflicted upon African Americans over centuries of exploitation. While we understand the need for caution and security, we assure you that we are fully committed to safeguarding our nation's interests. Our proposal is contingent upon the careful implementation of stringent background checks and necessary security measures, ensuring that no criminal elements are granted citizenship. We acknowledge the importance of upholding the rule of law and protecting the welfare of our existing citizens, and we trust in your wisdom and foresight to strike a delicate balance in this regard. Prime Minister His Excellency Chief Bola Tinubu GCFR the injustice faced by African Americans demands our attention and empathy. As a nation that has fought tirelessly for its independence and sovereignty, we are acutely aware of the struggles faced by marginalized communities and the imperative of rectifying historical wrongs. Granting citizenship to black Americans with Nigerian genetic lineage symbolizes a profound act of justice, an acknowledgment of our shared past, and an opportunity to forge a brighter future together. In the spirit of new administration, let us seize this moment to demonstrate our commitment to equality, unity, and progress. Let us be the generation that stands up against the tides of history and brings forth a new era of solidarity among Africans and Africa Diaspora of Trans-Atlantic trade in misery. Together, we can bridge the divides of time and space, mending the wounds of the past and empowering future generations to rise above the ashes of injustice. Mr Prime Minister, the world recons Nigeria as a beacon of resilience and leadership in Africa. We implore you to consider our plea and to pave the way for a future defined by justice, unity, and shared prosperity. Yours Faithfully Litmus |
I fear Nigeria is headed towards a point where you can't breath for fear of disturbing The Poor. |
I thought I was the one who invented the idea of "The Poor" becoming a cause celeb or a Property so that "The Poor" is something less about the actual poor but a weapon exploited by opposition articles. I used the the phrase "the tyranny of the poor" as the collective noun for my concept. Today however I learned that the concept already existed. Below is what ChatGBT outputted when I prompted it. Tyranny of the Poor Litmus: Explain tyranny of the poor ChatGPT: The concept of the "tyranny of the poor" is a term that refers to a hypothetical scenario where a society or government becomes unduly influenced or controlled by the poor or lower socioeconomic classes. It is a counterpoint to the idea of the "tyranny of the wealthy" or the "tyranny of the majority." The notion of the tyranny of the poor suggests that in certain circumstances, a majority of impoverished individuals could exploit their numerical advantage to enforce policies or decisions that prioritize their immediate needs or interests, potentially at the expense of the larger population or societal well-being as a whole. It implies that the poor, when organized and motivated, can exert significant pressure and influence on government and public policy. Proponents of this concept argue that the tyranny of the poor can arise when democratic systems are susceptible to populism or demagoguery, where charismatic leaders appeal to the grievances and frustrations of the economically disadvantaged.They claim that such leaders may promise immediate relief and favor policies that provide short-term benefits to the poor, even if these policies are not sustainable or may have negative consequences in the long run. |
