How about Cross river any info on that. Accommodation,light,do they pay I mean the state's

I can only talk of Calabar. Accommodation in Calabar is quite expensive. Most PPAs don't have accommodation thus, you have to find one for yourself (if you don't want to live in a corpers' lodge). Electricity supply as at 2014 when I served was so bad. We relied more on generator. The state pays N3,090/month for hose serving in govt schools/ parastatals.

Cross Rivers pays corp members N3,090/month if you work with a govt parastatal or govt-owned school. I served in Calabar and the cost of living is quite normal. However, I can't say much for other parts of CRS.

Osogbo in Osun state probably has the best electricity supply in Nigeria. I spent a week there and light went out for only about 2 hours. They have 24-hours light supply.

Politics › Social Media: Promises & Pains. by misterh(op): 7:04pm On Dec 29, 2015

The 2015 elections have come and gone. But events that happened during the campaigns still make me think of how far we've gone. An aspect of the campaign that was rampantly used was the massive use of the social media. This is the first time that the virtual world would have a great influence on our electoral process. Even politicians that do not know anything about the internet created social media profiles.

And why not?

With a sizeable number of the population classified as youths and a large percentage of such found on the internet, it was only logical to take the campaigns to their doorsteps, literally. For a few years now, the social media have influenced politics in the world (side eye to the Arab Spring). Here at home, the #OccupyNigeria protests can be referenced. The social media has also been used for meritorious and charitable causes. Funds have been generated via Twitter for those with medical and social needs.
With all these promises come side effects. During the electoral processes, the heavy use of the social media gave way for the use of propaganda. While propaganda isn't a bad concept on its own, the use of same for misinformation evokes anger in me. Because of the wide reach of the internet, a tweet made in the corner of my mosquito-infested room in Iresa-Adu village in Oyo state can influence the thought process and decision of someone in her mansion in Eket, Akwa Ibom. Such is the power of the social media. This is in sharp contrast with the propaganda peddled at newspaper joints. That one is localized.
Then, there are the overlords. This is quite common on Twitter. These are tweeps with demagogic tendencies. During the 2015 electoral processes, they had minions who nod in approval to whatever they tweet. Their influence might be derived from their follower count (which runs into several thousands), number of tweets (usually into tens/hundreds of thousands), sense of humour et al. These are the ones that the politicians use in achieving their aims. Their ability to create trending topics make them useful tools for politicians.

Another source of misinformation today is because of the proliferation of blogs. Anyone, sane or not, with internet access is able to open a blog and fuelled by the quest for AdSense money, traffic must be generated at any cost. Thus, outrageous news items are formulated. My 'homemade' antidote to this is to before reading a news item check the source- a funny name & it's off my reading list. The politicians now use the social media to control the narratives, so as to condition the mind of the people towards a direction. Thus, claims and rebuttals are norms here. It's now difficult to trust the news I read online now. Or maybe my standards are high- justifiably so. If you're in the business of informing people, you hold the power to shape their mindset. Oh heck! You can create a mass hysteria. Thus, if I'm going to give you that power, it has to be deserved.

Looking for credible news in the myriad of blogs now seems like "looking for a needle in a haystack". How do you find it?- Bring a damn needle!!

Social Media Bill?

Nairaland General › Re: Why Do You Follow The Nairalander(s) You Are Following? by misterh(m): 12:57pm On Dec 28, 2015

Jarus- Got drawn to him automatically when I learnt he attended OAU too (the same faculty too). Because of his reputation on here. I remember his tenure as the Politics section mod; he tried to be fair to all. Even during the China Achebe's 'Hall of Shame' ish, I admired his reaction then. He seems to have mellowed down on political discourse (probably due to JarusHub).

Naptu2- What more can be said about a man that I've learnt much from, even if his identity is shrouded in mystery? He's Nairaland's resident scholar. I was drawn to him via his thread on Nigeria: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. That thread remains one of my two best Nairaland threads of all time. I recall how, during the electoral process earlier this year, he was accussed by supporters of both blocs of how he supported the other party. That shows his unbiasedness.

I truly hope to meet you one day, sirs.

gidjah:
why couldnt he be elevated to the status? I guess it has to do with tribalism abi no be so?

Firstly, INEC declared the first election inconclusive so there wasn't any clear cut winner. Secondly, does the law stipulate that a deputy governot-elect can be promoted to be a governor or governor-elect after the death of his principal? I don't think it has anything to do with tribalism.

So So many conroversiez sorrounding this eletion /selection. The first trouble is in the replaemet of the dep uty with another govr instead of simply elevating him to the status of govr. But trust nigeria with tribalism mixed with religion......... I shake my head for the future of this nation. Now we must go to court

He wasn't a deputy governor yet because he had not been sworn in as the deputy governor. He was a deputy governor-elect.

They are used as hostels when there is a high number of corp members and the main hostels can't accommodate them. That one with 'Poultry Ward' was used as MCAN mosque during the 2014 Batch A set.

The deceased was said to be upright and strict. Thus, he's bound to have enemies within the ranks. It's assumed that these enemies were the ones that murdered him. But you overlooked this fact and went ahead to blame a particular tribe for murdering the gentleman.

Atlantian:
What useless position ? Let's be frank, this position is not worth shit in today's Earth. These traditions are the remnant of the master-slave relationship/history that still churns out almajiri everyday. Of what use are these silly tradtion when Africans are still very timid if not for western education ? When a man abandons progressive education just to wear bedsheets and move around like an idiot then its the dead of education. Education is supposed to replace ignorant paraphenalia. When was the last time you see a thoroughly educated native America wearing those ancient horns their forefathers used to wear. There is time for every form of dressing. Does it mean if Sanusi wears suit and tie, he will not be able to lord over almajiri anymore. Ponder!

So you would rather we abandon our traditions because according to you, they don't mean shit? How in God's name don't they mean shit? Do you know the influence he wields within his domain? Once again, does SLS wearing the paraphernalia of his office make him less educated? Or he is supposed to dispose of the traditional wear because he is educated? Have you imagined if he feels at home with these wears? Or you just want him to wear what YOU are comfortable with? Your analogy to Native America doesn't cut it. SLS wore suits and tie when he was in the formal sector. I believe if an educated Native American becomes a king in his community, he'll wear what he is supposed to wear. Does education require one to discard all his culture? Education should make you see things from a superior perspective and change the evil ones. I don't think wearing what is associated with his office is an evil aspect of his culture. Or is it?
