They should pay the levy jor This one na for everybody😂

Eniola BADmus😂

Make I no type wetin Dey my mind.

Anytime I see this Keyamo that thing comes to my mind

A good party man would have sacrificed his position for the unity of the party pre-election.

That this man has been in politics way back & decided to act like politicians of this 21st century suprised me.

In politics you win by building bridges

I knew things will go this way after the elections

Should we tell him?

Oga forget that thing. Trust no one.

As long as the freedom of association clause is enshrined in the constitution, they are free to defect

Hmmm

Wow. I would have said it sounds fake but to an extent I can relate

Ok

Really?

Whenever this short fuse man sees food or is being fed, he talks anyhow.

Hmmm

True.

ForG:
The mechanic guy tried selling me a generator but I rejected and went to buy from another seller.
He might try to damage something else to prove a point to me.
Just relocated here so yet to find another mechanic.
Also he's not available Sunday.

Ask your new neighbors the people that service their generators. You never can tell one of them might choose to come fix it for you on Sunday

Why not call a generator guy(artisan) to come adjust it for you. You can give him small amount(negotiate this before he touches the gen)

Hmm

Your mum has all of the information you need.

I don’t know why a mother would do this to her child. It is pure wickedness. Whatever hatred you have for the man doesn’t justify denying the young man his roots.

It’s a different story if she doesn’t know(may be a case of rape). Even if the father is/was a lunatic let your child know and make his/her choice to either identify with the mad man or move on!

This story no clear!

I used to like his skits at a point but not anymore.

The way these people quote numbers sha! I doubt if he makes that much jare

This is the first time I an hearing of Cardano's formula. So the formula works for all equations in that form. I was hoping to see a direct solving of the cubic equation itself. What if the question was something like this:
(2^x)+3^(3x)=16

The Cardano's formula (named after Girolamo Cardano 1501-1576), which is similar to the perfect-square method to quadratic equations, is a standard way to find a real root of a cubic equation.

If the question were written as above then it will be mathematically incorrect😂

Just go and represent Abuja people well in the senate.

platymus:
That's the answer I got.

Nah. Maths rule was broken.

BenedictAbajue:
Yes. If I had used casio natural display maybe I would have analysed the answer in surd form and try to work it back .

Okay. I will send in the step by step solution soon. Let me make it visible enough.😂

(2^x) + 2^(3x) = 16

ie. 2^x + 2^x*3 = 16 ……eqn 1

Now let 2^x = y ….. eqn 2

Eqn 1 becomes
y + y^3 = 16

rearranging this you will have:

y^3 + y - 16 = 0 …….eqn 3

The above, equation 2 is in the form

y^3 + py+ q = 0 ……eqn 4

Applying Cardano’s formula below
y=(3√−q/2+√q^2/4+p^3/27) + (3√−q/2−√q^2/4+p^3/27).

Comparing eqns 3 & 4 then substituting the values for p & q you’ll have:

y = 2.387 (plug in the values yourself)

Now from eqn 2,
2^x = y

This implies that 2^x = 2.387

Taking log of both sides, you will have

log 2^x = log 2.387

This implies that:
xlog2 = log2.387

x = log2.387 / log2

Therefore x = 1.2556 👍


Ask questions where you don’t understand.

Note the 3√ in cardona’s formula covers the entire values within each bracket() & it means cube root not 3*√

By log I imply log to base ten(10) of both sides

If you're confident of your answer you won't be posting this.

Unless you have no idea what you're solving.

Why una like fight like dis for dis forum & the country sef?

Oga carry pen & paper. Question dey dia. Solve your own! E no hard.

Allow make d poster answer me.

No be today I begin solve maths problem for this forum.

Discourse? You are clearly not intelligent enough for a discourse.

I should have known better not to have engaged an unintelligent person who resorts to insults in an a simple discourse.

Like I always do to people like you: you are correct about raising good & bad leaders. In fact correct about everything discussed. Happy now? Go & play! Thank you.

P.S. Any further insults shall be ignored

Is the solution from the calculator 1.2556? Let me know so I can share the step by step working

Post the original question

Na wa.

Fr. be calming down. You go tire like Baba Bubu. No Dey rush am!

Politics and political leadership is the subject under discussion. The problem with majority of you Obidients is that you do t engage your brains. You are like cult followers…less brain engagement and objectivity and more dogma and emotion. There is nothing wrong with “gidfatherism”, just like I said previously it is not producing protégées and raising an army of leaders that is the problem, it is whether it is a good leader producing protégées/ army of leaders or a bad leader producing protégées.


It is even more pertinent for a good man in power to ensure he produces protégées so his good works endure.

You guys always miss the point because you don’t engage your brains.


The issues is leadership. If you are a leader, whether good or bad and you do not produce protégées or other leaders, Whether you are a good man or a bad man you are not a leader. If anything the good man who doesn’t produce protégées is worse that the bad man who does.

We are talking about the attributes of a leader here not whether a leader is good or bad. You clearly don’t have the intelligence to decipher the difference or are too emotional (typical Obidient) to be objective. L

You have to be a leader 1st before the issue of good or bad leader. Good or bad is merely after the fact after you have established your leadership credentials. You may argue he is a good man but Peter Obi from his political track record is not a leader. You may disagree with Obasanjo, Buhari, Tinubu, Odili, ibori, Amosun etc etc but they are leaders!!! You can argue they are bad leaders….that’s a seperate issue.


If you are a leader and you have no protégées and you do not raise and empower other leaders..you are not a leader…..full stop!!!! Whatever you do while you were in power will be undone after you leave…that’s not leadership.

If a church dies after a GO or head pastor dies, that is not a church, that was a one man show. A leader always has a succession plan.

Nobody called having protégées and raising future leaders godfatherism when Awo, Zik, Sardauna, amino Kano etc were in power…because they were good leaders.

Now you are beginning to sound like the same “obidients” you lot insult and attack. I thought we were having a discourse? How wrong I was! Why the insults? So anyone that differs with your opinion is automatically an obidient?

I stopped reading your response the moment you started with insults. Grow up and don’t turn simple discourse with people to something else.

It might interest you to know in the just concluded 2023 elections I supported candidates irrespective of their political affiliation. I don’t follow people blindly. I bet you did APC from top to bottom because to you godfatherism in Nigeria isn’t bad. SMH

You lot that engage your brain can’t see beyond your noses! How pathetic.

Don’t bother yourself with a response because I won’t engage with you any further on this. You are to immature to discuss with. Have a great day!

casualobserver:
You are the one complaining that someone who worked under El Rufai has now become a governor. Complaining that bad leaders raise more bad leaders. So what stopped your angel from raising more angels into leadership positions when he was in office?

Again I state, true leaders raise an army of leaders, whether good leaders or bad leaders. If your leader is not raising an army of leaders (whether good or bad) then he is not a leader. He is selfish person only interested in himself.

Whether you agree with how they are running Lagos or not, 16 years after Tinubu left Lagos, all the governors are his protégées executing the masterplan he laid down. Obi has only been out of Anambra for months before Obianonstarted to reverse everything he claimed to have done (not that he did much). To the point that there is hardly a trace that was once a governor or any sign of continuity in anything he did. No protégées walking in his footsteps, no continuity of vision or plan.

Leaders raise protégées to continue after them, a man with no protégées is not a leader. Awo died almost 40 years ago, Ayo Adebanjo (his protégée). is still sounding the drum for his values. Like them or not wise and Amaechi are Odili boys, Fayose amongst many others is an Obasanjo boy. You may not agree with their leadership (I don’t) but they created protégées when they were in power. Where are Peter Obi’s protégées? If you CLAIM to be a saint but don’t create and empower saintly protégées and build them up to succeed you and continue your work, then don’t complain if you don’t have good people to succeed you.

Based on your argument, politics is the only field, as it were, where leaders exist. Wow!
Go and do your research about the person you choose to malign. Start from his personal life, life in the private sector, life in political office etc. I’m not against raising leaders in politics. Let the would be leaders be ready to serve without unnecessary interference from the political mentor.

This thing of raising a leader from a protégé is what we see as political godfatherism. These godfathers will go ahead to influence the leaders they raised who in most cases must either do their bidding or be shown the way out. A case in point is the Lagos you have been mentioning from the beginning of this discourse.

The thing didn’t happen in only Lagos. We have seen similar events of godfathers raising leaders play out in most states(North, south, East & West). These “Oga” that raise these leaders will want to interfer, want to continue by proxy, or refuse to support the leaders they raise for fear of not allowing them access to power. Examples: Adedibu vs Ladoja, Tinubu vs Ambode, Saraki vs Lawal, Uba vs Mbadinuju/Ngige, Obasanjo vs Fayose, Odili vs Amaechi, Oshiomole vs Obaseki, Nwodo vs Nnamani, Yarima vs Shinkafi, Kwankwaso vs Ganduje, Goje vs Inuwa

From the few listed above it is clear how the political leadership(good or bad as you put it) has been. They raise leaders that has Nigerian definition - not true leaders. Reason why we are where we are!

Raising leaders shouldn’t only be in the political circle. Leadership exists in other sectors. Some people have raised responsible leaders in business, family, academia without making so much noise about it. Just do your research.

P.S. I am all about good governance in Nigeria not what we have in place currently.

He should add justice to it😁

We also need that. Don’t we?

They keep supporting themselves and people keep voting for them. How do we expect to see positive change? How will it happen?

He started working with ElRufai since his days as FCT Minister

casualobserver:
When we say true leaders raise leaders you complain. How many people have worked under Peter Obi that have become anything?

Abi he wasn’t a governor for 8 yrs with SSAs, SAs, commissioners etc?

How the Labour Party Presidential candidate is living rent free in your head is amazing . What do you mean by “become anything”?

Political position isn’t the only way to “become anything” neither is it the only leadership position.

In the academia they are leaders making positive changes. In the private sector there are leaders too making positive changes. Google is your friend. So do your research. Find out those that were in his cabinet within the 8 year period you referenced to see the leaders that worked with him. To “become anything” isn’t just about being a career politician😁
