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.

As long as he's she's Nigerian, she needs all our support as Nigerians. If she breaks the record, good; Hilder can attempt to retake it.

Hope the new president sees beyond the ethnic and socioeconomic smokescreens used as reasons for all this to misguide Nigerians and understand that Nigeria was and still is under externally orchestrated systematic strategic attack.

Godwin Emefiele's attempt at making Nigeria a cashless society shouldn't be abandoned. Authorities in Nigeria need to regulate the hell out of the people inhabiting Nigeria in order to stand a chance of saving the country.

I find it difficult to believe Nigerians are predominately the ones abusing this guy for trying to set a new world record, I suspect it is people with other national interests abusing him informed by resentment after Nigerians, including me, attacked that Liberian and other Africans for so quickly trying to challenge Hilda's cooking record.

Africa isn't good for Nigeria, Africa is like a barrel of crabs.

Some of these responses should inform the wise why I've always argued that Africa will hold Nigeria back if Nigeria joins with all these "One Africa" goals leaders in Africa are working towards.

I thought I'd put my speculations on Interactive Bots to ChatGPT. The following is response:

Litmus: Could AI enable the creation of interactive Bots?

ChatGPT: Yes, AI can enable the creation of interactive bots. Interactive bots, often referred to as chatbots or conversational agents, use artificial intelligence techniques to engage in interactive conversations with users. These bots can be built using various AI technologies such as natural language processing (NLP), machine learning, and deep learning.

NLP helps the bots understand and interpret human language, allowing them to comprehend user inputs and generate appropriate responses. Machine learning and deep learning techniques enable the bots to learn from data and improve their performance over time. They can be trained on large datasets of conversations to understand different language patterns and user intents.

By combining these AI techniques, developers can create interactive bots that can understand and respond to user queries, provide information, perform tasks, and even simulate human-like conversations. These bots can be integrated into various platforms and applications, including websites, messaging apps, voice assistants, and customer support systems.

With ongoing advancements in AI technology, interactive bots are becoming more sophisticated and capable of handling complex interactions. They can provide personalized experiences, offer recommendations, assist with problem-solving, and even simulate personalities to engage users in a more human-like manner.

Overall, AI plays a crucial role in enabling the creation of interactive bots by powering their conversational abilities and enhancing user interactions.

Hope the Nigeria state and civil society keep abreast of AI developments with special emphasis on Social Media. Nigeria has many enemies. Next area of concern and of potential devestating consiquencies to the State will be Interactive Bots.

Interactive Bots will be little packets of code functions programmed with the relevant agenda. They will dialogue with posters on social media forums as though they are actual humans. Current Bots are merely duplicators of static messages.

Business › Re: Customs Plans To Ban Second-Hand Clothes (Okrika) by Litmus: 6:32pm On Jun 09, 2023
I'm beginning to wonder if when some on Niaraland draw on the sentiment of "the poor" whether they mean Nigeria's poor or if they mean the people of other West Africa nations that are relying on the Nigeria market. Withdrawing fuel subsidy is an example, how much of the crying online about Nigeria withdrawing fuel subsidy is actually from those that represent the interests of other West Africa nation's people and not Nigeria's poor? I've learned that much of the second hand clothes that enter Nigeria comes from Ivory Coast. Nigeria sanctioning second hand clothes will impact that trade in Ivory coast.


In short there may be an element on Niaraland that shout about the poor who may actually not give a Bleep about Nigeria's poor but are fighting for the interest of other West Africa nations people.

But do you put the horse before the cart all in the name of starting something?
Numerous avoidable deaths because we learn to put first thing in the middle or last position. Without good road all this enviable mega gadgets will soon wear out or be disjointed in a couple of months.
How many roads do you believe is the qualifying numbers of roads needed ?

MT:
Just the same way you are surviving where you came from. How much does a 35mins drive cost in the States?

We are not beggars, and the people have been surviving without you around. Leave today and you wont be missed.

I hate all these threads where people turn abroad to an earthly paradise. Crawl back into the cave you came from. Lot of people are working here modestly and far better than you. Dont be delusioned!
And most, majority young people, live a healthier and happier lives in Nigeria than abroad. As you age, abroad's more developed health care leads to a better outcome. Majority of these complainers are party politics motivated. Unfortunately thire online footprint is powerful and it is proving psychologically devastating to the spirit of Nigeria's National character, turning the people into unimaginative, weaklings and sapping them of get up and go.

A few years ago while baby sitting my very clever 5 yo niece a Scooby doo cartoon came on. The episode was set in Africa, Kenya probably. In any case my niece rightly picked up on the condescending tone the episode adopted in regard to Africa and to my astonishment she shouted at the television, " I'd like to see you go to China! Over there you'll have true cause to be shouting Scooby doo where are yooo!"

Sircarma99:
Why always Ghana
It's a psychology thing.

I suspect Ghana is always desperate to beat Nigeria informed by hate and the conceit that they and Nigeria have a rivalry. On Nigeria's part, however, all this is a bit of an embracement. Unlike me, majority of Nigerians don't hate Ghanaians, Nigerians don't look at Ghana as rivals. Nigerians don't even look at South Africa as rivals, Nigerians more look to compete and beat teams, places and things from Abroad. Nigeria sort of views African football as an obstacle to where they want to be, which is challenging teams of abroad. When Nigeria play Ghana in football, I believe Nigeria plays with less effort than they might play against other Africa teams because psychologically playing Ghana with the same determination Ghana plays Nigeria would be to Nigerians as if validating the ludicrous notion that they are in rivalry with Ghana.
