*Jakpaa syndrome is real*

...only one doctor is on duty in the whole of paediatric clinic, Federal Medical Center, Umuahia.

Others have gone to search for greener pastures outside Nigeria!

It appears that Nigeria will be left with only kidnappers, yahooboys, agbero, bandits, and the less privileged!

God, your mercy is needed!

*Filled up my tank for NGN 48,000 and noticed the car behind me was a taxi trying to buy NGN 3,000 fuel.*

I told the fuel attendant to sell NGN 10,000 for him that I’d pay.

Let him use that one to work. The attendant was selling for the car beside me first because cars lined up both left and right. We were waiting for the POS Machine from his colleague.

I then noticed the APC flag in the taxi-man’s car and I smiled.

Me: You dey do Emilokan for this economy

Taxi man: I be APC oh, na only Yoruba fit help this country.

Me: So you still dey vote with tribe for 2023. How much be fuel now, how is the economy treating you.

Taxi man: Things hard oh but e go better. Everything don cost now.

Me: And you still use emilokan chain, chain your car. Even put the flag in your taxi.

Taxi man: Na we dey govt now oh. Fulani don do their own, na our turn now. Na we dey power, even court talk am.

Me: So you dey govt now, lol. But you’re complaining everything is hard. You can’t even afford fuel.

Taxi Man: Na Fulani and Igbo make fuel cost Aunty. They just want country to hard for us but God pass them.

Me: 🤣🤣🤣
Who told you that. I’m sure it’s the same people that flogged and beat up citizens that went to vote that is telling you that nonsense.

Taxi man: Na so election be Aunty. Na who strong pass go win

Me: So beating people up na strength.

Taxi man: If you no do like that, people no go fear you.

Fuel Attendant: How much am I taking from your card.

Me: How much fuel did I buy? Remove my NGN 48,000

Taxi man: Aunty you no buy for me again.

Me: Na you dey power now na. You supposed buy for me.

Taxi man: Aunty country don hard now if not I for buy for you.

Fuel Attendant: Put your pin madam. Oga how much you dey buy.

Taxi man: Aunty you no buy for me

Me: I’d have loved to but election choices have consequences.
Next time you would vote wisely.
Election choices have consequences.

A few years ago, a novelist played a critical role in my appreciation of powerplay among leaders of society with his cast of child characters lost on an island after a shipwreck. It is the novel titled Lord of the Flies by William Golding, a British novelist and playwright. The beginning is somewhat impressive with childish innocence and adherence to democratic principles with an election conducted to choose the leader of the pack. The intellectual but purblind character that emerges from the election is able to lead the group of little children with some progress recorded.

Over time, over-vaulting ambition takes over with a bullish and forceful character taking over the leadership of the group by force. The consequence is the destruction of their symbol of authority, bloodshed and recession to barbarism. The final phase of it is the rescue of the children when a rescue ship is able to locate them on the said island. Cries of losses and agony of destruction take over. The society has become damaged beyond repair as human lives have been sacrificed. This scenario has been playing out in Nigeria for quite some time particularly since the emergence of the nascent democracy in 1999 and in all cases, the mace, the symbol of authority of the House of Assembly of the theatre of the absurd, would have been broken. The collective innocence damaged. The past few days have been an enactment of free for all fights between the past Governor of Rivers State of Nigeria, now the Minister for the Federal Capital Territory, Chief Nyesom Wike and his successor-protégé, Siminalaye Fubara.

It has been a terrible show of shame where people in high offices are being dragged recklessly in the mud by their combating supporters and the police and other law enforcement officers, apparently influenced to take sides, have made it more disturbing. In the melee, the usual attempt at removing the Governor from office cropped up. This is in pretending to be acting in line with Section 188 of the Constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, 1999 (as amended). The usual resistance on the part of the Governor also rose to the occasion. Probably in order to prevent the House of Assembly from being able to carry out the removal proceedings, arsonists set the House of Assembly building where Laws of the State are enacted, on fire and what remains of the former Rivers State House of Assembly Complex is now mere ashes and charcoal.

Nothing was rescued. Nothing was saved. The only luck we have recorded so far is that no one seemed to have died in the inferno. We do not know probably the negative might be the case when full accounts would have been taken of the actual number of casualties. In the course of the fights, the Governor was tear-gassed and drenched in water. An official casualty was shortly thereafter recorded as the Speaker of the House was reported to have lost his seat with some members of the Parliament having removed him in a process shrouded in secrecy. Another immediate Speaker emerged with the minority being in charge. Later we learnt that 24 members of the House had removed that new Speaker and reinstated the previous Speaker. One of the two Speakers ordered the removal of the Chief Judge.

An unbelievable abomination! Thank God for the immediate intervention by Mr. President, Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, who seems to have calmed the situation. We hope it does not degenerate any further. It is at this point that I feel it is imperative to look at the frequent rancorous relationships between the past Governors and the incumbents, which are fast becoming an emerging pattern. The vanity of life and unpredictability of human efforts and outcome are proving themselves to the establishment the limitations in human wisdom. Although the former or outgoing Governors often desire and actually actualize the imposition of their successors under the guise of continuity but the emerging truth is that they only want to continue in office behind this façade.

Certainly, it is not to ensure good governance but to have continuous control of the incumbent, State power and its finances. Some go to the extent of making their successors swear to secret and fetish oaths while others install the members of the Assembly to checkmate the incumbent. While the Constitution of Nigeria only recognizes two terms of four years each for any Governor, these delinquent individuals want to have the third, if not the fourth term through the successor they would have installed. In some cases, it might not be an outgoing Governor imposing his own successor, it might be the case of a strongman in violent politics trying to dictate who governs the State. This unfortunate situation can be dug out of the archive of Oyo State in the 2005 imbroglio that almost consumed the State when Alhaji Lamidi Adedibu, a semi-illiterate strongman of Ibadan politics, engineered the removal from office of Governor Rashidi Ladoja, who was said to have risen to the office through the political brigandage of Alhaji Adedibu.

Ibadan, the stormy cauldron of western Nigerian politics went up in blood, flames and deaths. Adedibu’s boys had taken over and the House of Assembly, with a minority number of members, sat in D’Rovans Hotel and claimed to have conducted the proceedings leading to the removal from office of Alhaji Rashidi Ladoja. The same day, the Deputy Governor of Ladoja, the Late Alao-Akala became the Governor through the ‘appointing instrument’ of Pa Adedibu. It took the Supreme Court to reinstate Governor Ladoja.

Edo State was almost reduced to mere history during the crisis between the garrulous and boisterous former Governor Adams Oshiomole and his successor, the seemingly meek Godwin Obaseki. This unfortunate pattern of developments has played out in many States of the Federation the latest before the Rivers’ case being the Osun case between the former Governor of Osun State, Ogbeni Rauf Aregbesola, later the Minister of Interior under President Muhammadu Buhari’s government and his successor, Alhaji Isiaka Adegboyega Oyetola, now the Minister for Marine and Blue Economy under the current administration. The outcome of the divided house led to the loss of the State to the opposition Peoples’ Democratic Party in the last July, 2022 governorship election in the State. Of course, it is usually a case of accusations and counter-accusations. Before the Osun case was the purported removal of Governor Chris Ngige as the Governor of Anambra State in the south-eastern part of the country under the strong arm of his erstwhile benefactor, Chief Chris Uba, in 2003.

This kind of situation also played out more recently in Kano State under Governor Abdullahi Umar Ganduje and his benefactor and former Governor Rabiu Musa Kwankwanso. I must not forget the case between the Senate President, Godwin Akpabio, as former Governor of Akwa Ibom State , and the immediate past Governor of the State, Udom Emmanuel. I am sure we recall also that of Peter Obi as the then Governor of Anambra State and the immediate past Governor of the State, Willy Obiano. I am sure also you will be wondering why I have avoided mentioning my Lagos.The response is simple. I was part of the confusion then and the story is best avoided than told. The list of these unfortunate crises can be endless. In so many cases that we have seen how relationships between the incumbent and their benefactor went south within a short time after the emergence of the new administration, so many accounts have been given of what normally leads to such misunderstanding which often tends to be from the childish to the ridiculous.

In most instances, the cause of the crisis has always been personal interests of continuing to control the finances of the State as well as the administration of the State structure by the former Governor. The former wants to control the present as a mere appointee who ought not to be able to do anything behind him except with his permission. The incumbent, wanting to exercise full powers of government, will definitely protest and resist.

The next you see is reckless display of violence and abandonment of State functions and responsibilities. No one has suggested that the cause of such crisis has ever been the need to govern the State appropriately and afford the masses a good taste of good governance. No one has ever suggested that the cause of the crisis is the need to bring unhindered development to the State and take care of the interest of the masses. No one has ever looked at the direction of the out-of-school children in the melee. No one has ever considered the interest of the masses to good and adequate health facilities in engineering these senseless fights. What we have always heard is that the former wants a chunk of the State’s monthly financial allocation to be appropriated to him without any reflection in the State budgetary approvals, or that the former Governor wanted to dictate the spate of things in the State.

I understand that Kwara State was saved this horror of violence and gnashing of teeth under Abdulfattah Ahmed as he was completely submissive to the dictates of his former Governor and benefactor, former Senate President Bukola Saraki. Another State where there is no such crisis now is Borno where the former Governor and now Vice President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, left government for his preferred successor without having interest in controlling the new administration. Shettima was reported to have vowed never to come back to the Government House to ask for favours from the incumbent Governor. He faced his senatorial representation responsibilities without demanding undue compensation for sponsoring and supporting the current Governor. What we have seen is rapid development and enviable good governance under Governor Babagana Zulum despite the boko haram insurgency that nearly reduced the State to rubbles. Jigawa will appear equally to enjoy so far the same privilege.

Why is it that our leaders are completely insensitive to commonsense? Why is it that our leaders do not realize that what they accumulate in terms of humongous personal wealth cannot be a good legacy except what they leave behind to the development of the State and the betterment of the lives of the people? I read a report of then Governor Nyesom Wike tutoring his colleagues to resist any attempt by any unfortunate Godfather to impose on them. The same liberationist champion of a few years ago would seem now to have become the latest dictator and tyrant. While many have blamed Sim Fubara for removing too soon his sim card from the now sim-less phone of Nyesom Wike, we have not counted the losses of the State and the people in this blame game. It is the opinion of many that Fubara is guilty as charged for being ungrateful and biting the finger that fed him.

Now there is the saying that when two elephants fight, it is the grass that suffers. A pungent question of the critic is when two elephants romantically make love, does the grass derive any benefit? Have the masses actually derived any benefit from watching the porn video of the senseless romance of our leaders when they collaborate and loot our commonwealth? Have the masses savoured the sizzling and tantalizing aroma from the kitchen of the wealthy to enjoy their own tasteless hunger that is devoid of soup? Again, most times the outgoing Governors often forget that human behaviour and character is often complex. The intricacy, most times, makes the choice of a completely submissive character to succeed them impossible. That is best captured in the saying of the Yoruba’s that, ‘ti eniyan o ba i tii de ipo, iwa o niwa ni maa n ya lo’ which literally means that until a man is enthroned, he displays a character alien to his inner self.

My advice therefore is that the potential godfathers should just surrender to fate in choosing the most competent person in the interest of the people and only hope for some measure of loyalty if it happens at all. They must stop playing God. The question is who will sanitize this vice? How do we bring this lunacy under control? When are we transiting into a democracy that is devoid of massive corruption that only dictates the conscience of erstwhile good men into debauchery? How and when would the people be truly liberated and this macabre dance would finally stop? It is better we stop behaving like William Golding’s lost children of the Lord of the Flies, the Arabian rendition of Baalzebub.

@ Ubanja

I read on of your article 'Games of Emotions' and I marvel at your wisdom and knowledge.

So I want to aks Are u the originator of all these ideas?

If the answer is yes.
Why not compile it and publish it as a book for commercial purpose.

I will surely buy it.

*BREAKING NEWS*

The new ‘Strategic Agenda for the Naira’ was announced by the Central Bank of Nigeria, generating a healthy national debate. Before we undertake a nationwide enlightenment program (beginning November 2) to educate the public on the new policy, it is important to clarify some of the issues/questions that are emerging.

Needless to emphasize that to appreciate the full impact of the new policy on the Naira/national economy, we need to take the 4-point agenda as a package. As a package, the new agenda will:

better anchor inflation expectations,
strengthen public confidence in the Naira,
make for easier conversion to other major currencies,
reverse tendency for currency substitution,
eliminate higher denomination notes with lower purchasing power,
reduce the cost of production, distribution, and processing of currency,
promote the usage of coins and thus a more efficient pricing and payments system,
promote the availability of cleaner notes,
deepen the Forex market,
ensure more effective liquidity management and monetary policy,
convertibility of the Naira and hence greater confidence in the national economy and lead to greater inflow of foreign investment
position the Naira to become the ‘Reference currency’ in Africa.
However, most of the questions so far pertain to only one aspect of the agenda, i.e., currency Re-denomination. We have monitored the reactions so far, and note that the concerns/questions raised so far are similar to the ones raised in all the countries that have undertaken re-denomination, including Ghana that is still implementing it now. We clarify some of the concerns as follows:

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐮𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧?
Currency redenomination is the process where a new unit of money replaces the old unit with a certain ratio. It is achieved by removing zeros from a currency or moving some decimal points to the left, with the aim of correcting perceived misalignment in the currency and pricing structure, and enhancing the credibility of the local currency.

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐚 𝐛𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝?

It is by dropping two zeros from the currency or moving two decimal places to the left. The name of the national currency will still be the Naira. However, during the transition period, the existing Naira will be referred to as the “Old Naira”, and the new one to be called the “New Naira”. After the transition period, the word “New” may be dropped. For example, the following equivalents will obtain as we re-denominate:

𝐎𝐥𝐝 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐚
(𝐢.𝐞, 𝐄𝐱𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐚 𝐚𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐨𝐝𝐚𝐲)
𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐍𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐚
(𝐚𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 ,𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐲 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐛𝐞 𝐟𝐮𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐜𝐛𝐧 )

50 kobo Half kobo**
N 1 = 1 kobo coin
N 2 = 2 kobo coin
N 5 = 5 kobo coin
N 10 = 10 kobo coin
N 20 = 20 kobo coin
N 50 = 50 kobo coin or note***
N 100 = N 1 note
N 200 N 2 note**
N 500 = N 5 note
N 1000 = N 10 note
N 2000* = N 20 note

𝐇𝐨𝐰 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤?
The ‘new Naira’ coins and notes will be different from the existing ones i.e. in design, appearance, security features, etc.
All Naira assets and liabilities (including bank deposits), prices, fees, rents, and contracts (including salaries and wages) will be re-denominated by dropping two zeroes or moving two decimal points to the left.
During the ‘transition period’ prices will be quoted in both the ‘new Naira’ and the ‘Old Naira’ and everyone will choose whether to pay in the new or old Naira. These five months will be allowed so that everyone will get familiar with the conversion, and it will become self-evident to everyone why he/she would prefer to transact in the ‘new Naira’ rather than the ‘old Naira’. For example, if a bag of garri sells for N2,000 (old Naira), the price in ‘new Naira’ will automatically be N20. The customer will choose to pay either N2000 in old Naira or N20 in the ‘new Naira’. In the supermarkets and formal markets, prices will be displayed in both ‘old’ and ‘new’ Naira. In the informal markets where prices are negotiated, the negotiation could be done in the ‘old Naira’ as usual and converted into the ‘new Naira’ if the customer wishes to pay with the ‘new Naira’. This will ensure that prices do not rise due to rounding-up. The five months are also needed for everyone (formal and informal sectors) to become fully familiar with the conversion. It will become obvious to everyone that N50,000 of the ‘old Naira’ has the same purchasing power as N500 of the ‘new Naira’. The question then would be: why carry N50,000 of old Naira when N500 of the new Naira will buy you the same thing? Consequently, if you have N50,000 in your bank account, it will automatically become N500 in the ‘new Naira’ i.e. if you want to withdraw in the ‘new Naira’ or you can still withdraw N50,000 in ‘old Naira’ during the transition period (January 2024). Similarly, someone whose monthly salary is N50,000 can choose (during the transition period) whether to withdraw and spend the N50,000 in ‘old Naira’ or N500 in the ‘new Naira’. Both would buy him/her the same value of goods and services.
Examples of price equivalents in the new and old Naira could be:

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐛𝐲 𝐉𝐚𝐧𝐮𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝐀𝐬 𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐀𝐝𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐁𝐨𝐥𝐚 𝐀𝐡𝐦𝐞𝐝 𝐓𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐛𝐮.

House rent (e.g. a flat in some parts of Nigeria) N5000 per month N50 per month
Stock price of a company Assume it is, say:
N20 or N80
20 kobo or 80 kobo
Airline ticket for domestic flight N12,500 = N125
Fuel Price N500 = N5
Exchange rate: N to US$ Assume it is say:
N125
Or N130
Or N100 to US$1.
N1.25 = US$1
Or N1.30 = US$1
Or N1 = US$1

This decision has been taken by the cbn by the directive of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu to reduce the surfering of Nigerians and also slow down inflation. If you have the old Naira start getting ready to switch to the new Naira, this message is meant to prepare Nigeria for the changes ahead. It needs to be shared to ensure everyone is well prepared for the new Naira notes. Nigerians

Now they are seriously begging Peter Obi to congratulate Tinubu. BUT HOW? How do you congratulate an armed robber that robbed you & your entire family?

CONGRATULATIONS is an endorsement. If you congratulate an armed robber for a successful operation, you endorsed his criminality; you gave him the approval to return & rob your entire estate.

If you shout “congratulations” in a hot afternoon, Tinubu will wake up.

Like Buhari did in 2003, 2007 & 2011, Peter Obi should not congratulate anyone. What do you need it for? Congratulating someone who stole an election is endorsing illegality.

I don’t know about Atiku Abubakar, but the “process” is more important than the result. I thought you claimed that BAAT won, why do you need anyone’s congratulations?

People rejoiced during military takeovers. Tinubu must be so terrible that even his Agbado Miscreants could not celebrate.

Look at Niger, Burkina Faso, Mali, & Gabon. Citizens of those countries rejoiced when the military seized power. Those coup plotters are more popular than Bola, isn’t that a shame?

Since dishonesty & criminality were involved, let Bola Tinubu seek the congratulations from elsewhere.

Why don’t you go the University of Chicago & ask for a Congratulation? His so-called alma mater are afraid to congratulate one of their “First Class” students?

Someone that claimed he won with 8 million votes, is begging for congratulations. Tell me you’re a loser without saying it! 🙄🙄

For a long time chameleon has been going about telling anyone that cares to listen, how he is the best animal in camouflaging, how he can change into various colours, etc. He kept priding himself in his self-acclaimed art. One day he met snail, who told him that there's an animal whose prowess in the art would render chameleon's mastery a learner. Chameleon was angry at snail for saying this. He felt slighted.

Shortly after his meeting with snail, there was a general meeting of the animals, there, chameleon conversed with another animal thus:
BAT: I heard that you claim that your mastery in art of camouflaging is matchless and unbeatable?
Chameleon: (with an inflated air of pomposity) yes, of course!
BAT: And what's the greatest stunt you had ever pulled?
Chameleon: There was this day that I was being chased by a farmer's boy. And you know that I can't run. So, I quickly changed into colour green, the colour of leaves. Thus, I wasn't detected.
BAT: That's nothing, after all, most leaves, if not all, are green.
Chameleon: Alright, at another time, hunters were looking for me and I quickly wore the colour of their dogs!
BAT: (Pretending to be excited). Wow, that's great; besides changing into colours, are there other things you can change into?
Chameleon: (After a little hesitation) No.
BAT: Can you change your gender?
Chameleon (looking awfully terrified) No.
BAT: You haven't changed your parents?
Chameleon: (Gasping for breath) No, but how? Who can do that?
BAT: Your village and state of origin?
Chameleon (by now visibly, shaken and confused) No.
BAT: Can you change your primary and secondary schools, years after you never attended those schools?
Chameleon: Wait, I don't get it...
BAT: What about not having certificates and yet producing one, designed by yourself?
Chameleon: (opened his mouth in utter amazement, speechless)
BAT: Lest I forget, how many times were you born?
Chameleon: once, of course, just like everyone.
BAT: Shut up, my friend, speak for yourself. I was born three times -1952, 1954, nineteen kini eem?
Chameleon: No, whaaat! Who does that?
BAT: I, BAT, neither a bird nor rat, do. I feast in the air and on the ground; I'm the author of confusion!
Chameleon: You mean conviction?
BAT: Are you deaf? Who has conviction helped? I mean CONFUSION!
Chameleon (still flabbergasted, but seems to have remembered something) Wait, are you the fellow who it was said, claimed to have attended a school long before it was established?
BAT: You heard it?
Chameleon: Of course, I did, but I didn't believe it, I considered it as an impossibility.
BAT: Never use that word again.
Chameleon: which word?
BAT: Impossibility.
Chameleon: But how?
BAT: What money can't do, more money will make it possible!
Chameleon: (completely horrified and CORNfused)
BAT: Besides this country, is there any other place you have changed things?
Chameleon: No, just here.
BAT: Really? Why do you bluff then, for being a local champion? I have crossed the Atlantic and over there, I did great exploits; I was there as a female and came back here, a male.
Chameleon: Ha!
BAT: Yes.
Chameleon: Can I ask you a question?
BAT: Yes, of course.
Chameleon: Why do you hang upside down?
BAT: I'm thinking outside the box.
Chameleon: How do you mean?
BAT: In being upside down, I will see agbado, cassava, dodo, beans, garri, and so many other things.
Chameleon: Hmmm...I'm really a learner. No wonder snail...
BAT: What about snail?
Chameleon: He told me about your exploits.
BAT: Oh, he knows what I can do. Before now, snail was doing well. But I changed him to the slow motion that he is today.
Chameleon: (Dumbfounded) you're the boss.
BAT: Just added another name to my name.
Chameleon: Why, at this age?
BAT: It's change, to blend into another identity.
Chameleon:😲

Krak:
Yes, they will pay you in GBP, that what I am using. Any currency you make will be converted to GBP when it is sent to your Grey account.

Withdrawal limit should be 5k dollars monthly or so.

I mean whether I can withdraw 5 or 10 Dollars from the account

Krak:
Then open a GBP account on Grey.co and put the GBP address in your kdp account. You will receive all your money, you don't have to worry.

What if the book is bought in USD can amazon pay me in GBP??

Also does Grey.co have withdrawal limit

Krak:
Do you intend to use the account for kdp or what?

Yes I want to use it for KDP

Krak:

Open an account with Grey.co, they should accept you.

But I need a USD account.
Someone said I should not open usd account with grey.co

Aw2

Krak:

🙊 During the Soviet dictatorship of Joseph Stalin. He was a brutal dictator with a mind of his own.

On one fateful day, Stalin came to a Politburo meeting with a live chicken.

Standing in front of an audience, He started to pluck the feathers of the live chicken off one by one.

🚩The chicken trembled in pain, blood tricking out of its pores. It gave out grievous cries, but Stalin being a cruel dictator continued without remorse plucking the feathers out until the chicken was completely naked. After which, he threw the chicken on the ground.

🚩The naked chicken was staggering in pain. Stalin goes into his pocket and from his pockets, he took out some chicken food and started to throw it at the poor & helpless creature.

🚩The poor chicken in pain started eating and Stalin started walking toward his seat. As he walked away, he kept dropping some feeds on the floor & the chicken followed him and sat feeding from his feet.

📍Joseph Stalin then turned to members of his political party leadership.

🚩He said, "This chicken represents the people".

🚩"You must disempower them, brutalise them, beat them up, starve them and then leave them".

🚩"If you do this, go into your pocket & give them peanuts when they are in that helpless and desperate situation, they will blindly follow you for the rest of their life, worshipping you".
🚩"They will think you are a hero forever. They will forget that you're responsible for their sorrowful situation in the first place."

😇 Breathtaking, isn't it?

🙋‍♂ Now! Take a look at all the people some Nigerians are busy defending on social media.
🚩Take a look at those they call their heroes.

🚩They are the same people who plunged Nigeria into the situation she is.
🚩They are the same people who are responsible for their predicaments.

🚩Your guess is as good as mine. And the likes of many others, we all know about.
📍Nigerians kill those they should defend and defend those they should kill! 🙉

Hello my people

Please apart from payoneer which other payment methods can I use to received money from KDP amazon?

Nigerians
No. sorry Agbadorians the Ebola you voted is sinking this nation; hate don't allow u see it.
Instead u are talking trash about a man that is an achiever.

Don't worry tinubu go show una shege!!!

He just dey start.

Have you notice that ethnic bigotry war have reduced in Nairaland

All those Agbado Champions
Are no longer commenting.

They're now feeling the heat of Ebola.

The are now paying back (in full) the 30k they collected).

This is the man that caused all the problems that men are having today with women. He gave money to a woman. The woman went and told other women that if you play your card very well, you will give your body to men. After enjoying together, he will still pay you with money and gratitude. What women were giving men freely this man go cast the game.

Why are you people always focusing on south east being land lock or not?
You people are not saying anything about the real landlock territory of Nigeria which is the NORTH. If Nigeria is to divide today. The north is the one that will suffer most. But waitooo....
Is Niger not landlock?
Is Mali not land lock?
Is Central Africa not landlock?
Are they not surviving?? Or even doing better.
With Airspace any landlock country can strive even better than those that have access to the sea.

As far as I'm concerns, igboland is not landlock. The south east is just a fragment of igboland.
Opobo and port Harcourt are igboland, whether Nigeria like it or not.
WHEN THE TIME COMES, WE WILL KNOW WHO TRULY OWNS IGWE NGA AND IGWU OCHA.

*Why Tinubu shouldn’t be blamed for Nigerian’s economic hardship – Sanusi Lamido*
````He said everything in Nigeria in the last eight years was done with debts.````
ByAbubakar Ahmadu Maishanu September 4, 2023

*Former Emir of Kano, Muhammadu Sanusi, said it would be unfair for him to criticise President Bola Tinubu over the country’s economic hardship Nigerians.*

_Mr Sanusi, a former governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN), speaking during a virtual religious event on Sunday, said Nigerians who expected him to speak about the economic hardship deliberately wanted him to oppose the president._

*He explained that he had to deviate from the religious theme of the event to remind Nigerians about his stands on the badly managed economic policies of the immediate past administration of Muhammadu Buhari.*

````He said the Buhari administration ignored his advice on how to take Nigeria out of its economic woes.````

_Mr Sanusi said economists with a fair sense of reasoning know that the current administration has made the right decision (fuel subsidy removal) to save Nigeria from the bondage of debts dug by the past administration._

“I have been, over the years, talked about the pending crisis ahead of the current economic hardship. Any economist who has studied monetary policy in the last eight years knows that Nigerians will fall into this difficult situation.

“The difficult situation Nigerians are facing is just the beginning (if the right decision is not put in place) because Nigeria is not exceptional; such situations happened in Germany, Zimbabwe, Uganda, and Venezuela.

“The previous administration has turned adamant about our appeal for corrective measures (on the economic policy). I have said in the presence of the now sitting president in Kaduna state, any politician who tells you that things will be easy, don’t vote for him because he is lying. People merely dismissed my advisory as a political statement.

*“If I am to be fair and just to President Bola Tinubu, he is not to blame for the current hardship; for eight years, we were living on a fake lifestyle with huge debt from foreign and domestic debts. The Central Bank of Nigeria owes over N30 trillion, which resulted in debt service surpassing 100 per cent.*

````“I can’t join other Nigerians criticising Tinubu on the current economic hardship, and I am not saying he is a saint free from wrongdoing, but in this current economic situation, President Tinubu is not to be blamed. I will also speak if I see any wrong economic policy of the Tinubu administration in the future.````

_“It is injustice for anyone to blame the Tinubu administration for the current economic hardship because there is no other alternative than the removal of the fuel subsidy. After all, Nigeria cannot even afford to pay the subsidy._

*“(In the last eight years), the Central Bank continues to print more money, and the Naira continue to depreciate. There is too much naira in circulation because the CBN is printing the currency without restraint.*

````“The economy was poorly managed, and they are not willing to take advice; in the last eight years, apart from sycophancy, nothing has been done; those sycophants are those buying the dollar at the rate of N400 and selling it at the rate of N600 to N700.````

“A boy who has no record of service has a private jet and owns houses in Dubai and England just because he is buying Dollar at so so a rate and selling them, Mr Sanusi said.

*He said everything in Nigeria in the last eight years is done on debt, lamenting that no country will survive in that economic policy.*

“I can only plead with the people to endure the hardship, and those who have the means to help the downtrodden should do so.

_“I am also pleading with commoners to live according to their earnings; we must not peg our lives above our earnings in this difficult situation where people are looking for what to eat, the former Kano Emir said_

STILL ON THE DISCOURSE,
ALIKO DANGOTE: THE REAL ENEMY OF NIGERIA & NIGERIANS!!

Things are too costly it has never been so bad and ko funny rara ooo

There are many issues and enemy within. For example,
We have exhausted debates about “Beggar Thy Countrymen” called Aliko Dangote.
Recall, late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, God bless his soul, was the best President Nigeria ever had.
During his reign, he refused to see Dangote even with all his lobbyists. President Yar'Adua was quick to tell him(Dangote) to stay away from his Government.

President Yar‘adua issued 6 companies representing the six geopolitical zones three licenses each; Bagged cement License, Bulk Cement Licence and Backward Integration License respectively. True to their promise, these six companies including Bua, Ibeto and Madewell cements were able to bring down the price of cement to less than N800/bag from over N1500 per 50kg bag then.
Dangote became so frustrated because he couldn’t compete favorably as he always wanting to sell his products at exorbitant rates and prices.

Unfortunately for Nigeria, President Yar’Adua died and a clueless President Goodluck Jonathan became the President of Nigeria. Aliko Dangote petitioned Goodluck Jonathan against these six companies requesting for the stoppage of cement importation and that only the Backward Integration License should be left to operate. This petition was granted just because him Dangote had used the same Government support of President Obasanjo to build just one cement factory but was still importing.

Let it be known that as at the time of that petition, the cost of landing cement in Nigeria was less than N600 all in per bag. So at N800 per bag, the companies were still making profit. The Government of President Goodluck Jonathan granted Dangote’s petition and the Bagged and Bulk cement licenses were withdrawn. Ibeto Cement, Madewell cement and the rest lost fortune as even the ones they were offloading at the Jetties then were ordered by the Nigerian Customs Service to be shipped back to their Ports of Origin. Behold, Dangote became the Lord of the ring. Central Bank left a silent instructions with the Commercial Banks never to fund Dangote Competitors.

He still didn’t stop at that, he went further and Petitioned the Federal Government to stop the importation of Clinker the moment his Clinker Factory at Obajana was ready and he lied to the Government that his Clinker Factory capacity was enough to service the rest Cement Factories in Nigeria.
The Federal Government at that point granted his petition/prayers by increasing the duty on Clinker import from 10% to 40% and then to 50% discouraging other manufacturers from importing Clinker to produce cement. Clinker is a blend of Limestone and Clay and it’s 80% of Cement. It’s only blended with 20% of Gypsum to produce cement unless where special cement that requires Iron ore application is required like the Cement used for Oil Well cementation.

A company in Lagos named Great Eagle Cement in Ikorodu Lagos belonging to M L. Lee Group (a Chinese company that owns over 60 factories in Nigeria providing over 30,000 jobs to Nigerians) sent for a surrogate from Abuja to discuss on what can be done to help them as Dangote had stopped them from importing Clinker causing them to stop production of cement.
Before the surrogate left for Lagos, he went to the Federal Ministry of Finance and his finding was too heavy for any Nigerian to bear with Dangote or forgive him but I won’t dwell on that now. The Chinese couldn’t do what they were asked to do so they could enjoy waiver like Dangote.
The Chinese said they will rather build their Clinker factory on the Limestone deposit they had acquired in Ogun State with C of O. The same Dangote used the then Governor Gbenga Daniel to stop them from establishing the plant. The same thing that he did to Ibeto using the then Governor of Ebonyi State on Nkalagu Cement.

The result is what we see today, a situation where one man is monopolizing every commodities in a market size of over 200 million people!

Just recently, Dangote petitioned the Federal Government against his own brother Alhaji Abdulsamad Rabiu of Bua Group requesting that Bua Sugar Refinery in Port Harcourt be halted from production. But Dangote met his match there and the reason is obvious; Bua has what he has, knew what he knew and was ready to fight him to death. So, the emirates eventually settled the two brothers amicably. But who will do that for the rest who are majorly Southerners?
I repeat, the day Nigerians realize who their true enemy is, that’s the day Nigeria will progress and breathe fresh air as a Nation.

For now, the youths of Nigeria and some uninformed elites, still see Dangote as their role model and it’s rather unfortunate.

I come in peace ✌️
