Its quite unfortunate that lagosians are not ready to set themselves free from godfatherism. I envy Tinubus magic stick. I look forward to wield it someday. Lagosians na mumu. You all now calling jimi customer Dada in.

I tire for them. One man treating them like slave and hoisting different candidates on them and they keep swallowing it.

IMO people tried in resisting okorocha

Hey OP,

I have a feeling that you are in your late 20's or early 30's.. I might be wrong, but I strongly sense so because you exuade so much energy and ambition with your write up.

While it is not a bad thing, you need to simmer down.

In corporate settings, there are always structured reporting lines, and you are his direct report!, Except you want to become his competition, which is what him 'stealing your shine' implies.

No matter how intelligent or smart you think you are on the job, never make the mistake of outsining your master (in this case, your boss).

That is the first law in Robert Greene's '48 Laws of Power'.

I leave you with excerpts from that book;

Law 1: Never Outshine the Master - Keys to Power
Robert Greene

Everyone has insecurities. When you show yourself in the world and display your talents, you naturally stir up all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity. This is to be expected. You cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others.

With those above you, however, you must take a different approach: when it comes to power, outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all.

Do not fool yourself into thinking that life has changed much since the days of Louis XIV and the Medicis.

Those who attain high standing in life are like kings and queens: they want to feel secure in their positions, and superior to those around them in intelligence, wit, and charm.

It is a deadly but common misperception to believe that by displaying and vaunting your gifts and talents, you are winning the master's affection.

He may feign appreciation, but at his first opportunity he will replace you with someone less intelligent, less attractive, less threatening, just as Louis XIV replaced the sparkling Fouquet with the bland Colbert. And as with Louis, he will not admit the truth, but will find an excuse to rid himself of your presence.

------------------------------ End of quote --------------------------------



My final advice to you is to find a balance your ambition with patience and wisdom.

Very apt. I made that mistake before coming across that book.
I was a new employee, bright and full of creative ideas. I was always making timely and great suggestions. Never knew my manager wasn't happy. He saw me as too forward. The first thing he did was to fling me to a far and irrelevant branch. Away from the hub of power. He publicly humiliated me, but back then, I used to be a fiery headed person. I got my pound of flesh later but it cost me my job.
From that irrelevant branch the chairman selected me to be the head of a committee that will x-ray and examine every activities of staff and also proffer recommendation. The chairman was looking for a no-nonsense person. Someone who cannot be intimated or cowed. At the end of the exercise, you can guess my recommendation. It was a scathing report against the management staff and the MD. He was immediately relieved of his position and transfer to an obscure subsidiary.and me? I was later axed by another over-zealous newbie lol

crestedaguiyi:
APC and their handlers will not accept the fact that suicide has increased since 2016.

if they can suppress the boko haram onslaught on their own people, what would they not attempt

My brother. suicide was a thing unheard of in Nigeria before now. I never ever believed a Nigerian can take his life before now. But this present political dispensation changed all that

Please mathematicians should hurry and help us calculate

rottennaija:
This is a serious failure in intelligence. How could the boko haram approach their formation without them being aware in advance? What happened to drone surveillance? How could they have been overrunned in a gun battle that probably last for hours without calling for Air support? Or could it be a case of sabotage?

I am short of words too. I may not be a military personnel but I know the rules of engagement. How can a base be obliterated like that. If it were to be in the Western climes, two F-14s would have been scrambled into the sky for air to surface offensive. There is something we are not been told abeg

Itel S13 5MP back/rear camera. No filters. New hostel built in my school.

Which school is this. Nice

Jonathan's government wasn't perfect..Heck! Which government is perfect? But you can see there was a fair sincerity of purpose and focus.
This present regime is a case study of how cluelessness can hijack a government.smh

adekolaelect:
but if Buhari said that u will be crying up and down.bu sentiment will make people reason with their Anus .

I don't care which shitty politicians says that. What is wrong is wrong. I' don't try to be sanctimonious. Bihari is a bigot too, if you like to know.he is Nepotic, clannish and unforgiving.
You can now crawl back into the hole you came out from..You have been noticed.
Bye

It's not surprising they will be digging furiously, looking for any thing to pin on obi. He is human and prone to mistakes. He is certainly a mortal that is fallible.
El rufai was economical with the truth. He came into awka on the eve of election alongside some party men. DSS got wind of his intention to influence the election and they restrained him from leaving his hotel room. Thst, to me is the right thing since he has no business being there at that auspicious time

Even politicians from Western climes are not above board.

But it is disheartening when the Lord of tribal bigots will look around and point someone else as a bigot

Someone who said the killing of any Fulani is a debt payable by debt.
Someone who paid killers of harmless Kaduna populace and escorted the Killers across the border instead of arresting them.
Someone who demolished the house of a retired judge and others in Abuja while he was a minister. The same some one who picked a Muslim deputy knowing fully well that Kaduna state comprises of both Muslims and Christians ( he is also a Muslim). He didn't see himself as a bigot. Smh.
And for those who will quote me, I truly don't have the luxury of reply. Go and confirm what I have posted

globemoney:
You are very foolish. Imagine coming here to defend corruption because its your saint peter obi. let it be another person. nonsense

I truly pity you is all I can say. Bye

I was thinking it was 250 million dollars sef! So someone with Peter obi pedigree (established business man) carrying 250M has now become a crime? You are truly deluded. When has it become a crime to carry cash of that value? I see people- business men, traditional rulers and people from all work of life carrying physical cash for transaction. Try tell those builders and artisans building houses that you will pay them digitally if they will not curse you.

I can see you are very desperate to tarnish the reputation of the man. He is not a saint and not probably above mistakes. He is human and very fallible. But trying to pin all this inconsequential rubbish on him is dead on arrival. Stop being sanctimonious op,even Western politicians are not above board, except you are looking for Jesus Christ.

I will not be drawn into any back and forth brickbat. This post will suffice

I know you have seen all kinds of shitty advice from children on NL. Sadly, it has been taken over by kids. I understand your pain. You are truly in a dilemma. What ever you do, don't report with your identity blown. Look for a way to report anonymously for your own safety. Wish you luck.
@troublemakea

;DlThis guy funny o. Anyway if I were you, I will pick the Merc. I have used merc before and the handling, stability and comfort no be hia. The steering nko? Superb! If you drive that car, u no go like drive Toyota Just get the facelift (more recent) model of the w203. 04-06 year. And get a non-abused ride. Do preventive maintenance With recommended fluids and parts and u are good to go.
Don't really know much about that Peugeot but I like the 406 better.
Good luck. Btw I'm not a car guru

fero007:
uduaghan projects dat d whole state new about
-Free schooling and health
-Asaba international airport
-ban of okada, n introduction of 'uduaghan bus' n Brt buses
-st patricks college asaba, nana college warri n many other schools
-bringing shoprite to warri

what is okowa's general acheivements besides d SmaMedSca businesses which is too small a project for an oil state

My brother God bless you. At least we still have honourable people around. Look at how you enumerate some of uduaghan's projects even though he didn't perform to expectation and he also embezzled money.
One bellicose imp by name dogmanation or dog man couldn't even list one single project. Rather he was busy hurling insults. I decided to allow him wallow in his childish ignorance and misery.
No matter how u try to clean a pig, it will still wallow in muddy water. I have kept quiet to allow him bask in his ignorance.
A Randy, ill-educated oaf.smh

sankky:
Something ain't right with this story. I know we blacks hinge our reasoning and understanding of nature based on superstition and religion which takes us more backwards than forwards.
For a python to swallow an adult human, the person must have been as still as a log of wood .... They naturally slighter away in fear whenever they encounter adults. They don't attack or coil round adults like we superstitiously believe. Check out what happens outside Africa and see my point.
Either the man was already dead or unconscious prior to the swallowing.

Then you don't know pythons ND anacondas. They are very fast. With massive muscle strength. They can coil around a person and crush the bones and organs with such brute force that no man can extricate himself except he gets outside help. If you see a big python, better run

DogmaNation:
Hey u stupid imb*ecile. No body gives a damn how u feel. U are noting,but an idiotic pig of Buhari n as such I spit on ur stupid face. Mo*ronic fool!

E pain am! Bye

DogmaNation:
scalwag! U are d sissy here. When I said Okowa is working,he is really working. Have u been to his town Agbor? Then u will know what am taking abt. Iboris cousin was there,what did he do? Nothing! Present Edo State Governor,I was told that there is no motorable road to his town. Is that not a big disgrace? So don't give me that side talk abt that Okowa is only working in his town. U can take ur L n run along boy now,

For the last time dunder head, give me list of things okowa has done. You have not been able to mention them you little imp.
Since you can't mention any verifiable project, I refuse to respond to you henceforth.
Bellicose imp

fero007:
me i just need names of d projects okowa did, dats all, i can bring pics of uduaghan's own, but okowa is lyk no one can name his projects, projects u do dat d pepo dat see is dat one project?

Don't mind these deluded praise singers. You can't even see one single project in warri. Just look at Enerhen junction, airport junction, jakpa and Ekpan junction. All terrible eyesore and in a dilapidated state.

DogmaNation:
Abaya go n die. Okowa is d best Delta State has ever had. 2019 too sure for am

Go corner go cry small

Why are you resorting to insult na. Give me empirical evidence of what he has done and stop being petty.

U are still a child from the outrage of your post. Go play with sand abeg.

I won't even dignify you with a response again, as this will suffice. Bye little lad

DogmaNation:
Mr Man go n die!
What ill-gotten largesse are u talking about? Am not a politician. I repeat,Okowa has done tremendous work for Agbor people n I know he has done same for other tribes in the Delta. Iboris cousin when he was there,what did he do? Noting! He has gone to APC,I reckon to u his now a saint. Bunch of scalwags!

You are really deluded. Okowa has done nothing!!! He has performed woefully. If I see him, I will tell him to his face. Look at this praise singer

Antoeni:
This are part of the reasons I have been begging God Everyday to make me the Minister of Thunder i swear i will not disappoint.

Guy you made laf Wella. I wish same too sometimes. I go correct many rubbish

tstx:
How did you arrive to this conclusion?

Nigerians sef.. Una tire me.

Every Nigerian Is Guilty Of These Things But Still Complains About Them

He is absolutely correct. When your immune system is bombarded with a lot of pathogens, u become less susceptible to disease.
I have stopped eating anything prepared by these aboki s. The number of times I tried it, I came down with food poisoning

Nobody applied for this? Anyway I bought the form.

Interested in this too

Some times I just pity the masses. Most of them are so gullible. When okowa came with his prosperity for all deltans mantra, the first question that came to my mind is, what are the modalities, the hard facts, statistical projections and empirical calculation by which he plans to bring about this prosperity? None was provided and the man was ushered in and the rest as they used to say, is history. I have no personal grudge against okowa but all politicians are the same greedy mofos everywhere in Nigeria. I'm yet to see the good politicians, maybe the likes of obi, moghalu etc but they can never be allowed to the center stage
