You are also very predictable. I knew your response will be this.
If you had some good research skills you could have easily seen that a good number of people have contacted me for career related reasons and, by the grace of God, I have responded. Many whom I speak to till today.
Not very "faceless" is it? I understand anyway. The majority of average Nigerians have very poor research skills.

I thought you left it here

madridsta007:
Lol @ “average Nigerian”.

If only you guys know who is the person typing this.
I’ll leave it here

So being contacted for career related reasons on nairaland places you above the average Nigerian. Mr. Good research skills/career counsellor. So that is all you are! Really!! Oh my goodness!!! You almost got me fooled. For a moment there, i thought i was actually conversing with SOMEBODY. You need a reality check & I'm signing out here.

You are very predictable. I knew you would go down this lane. The good thing about faceless forums is that you can be anything you want to be and I've since learnt from experience not to take people who say "do you know who I am" seriously.

madridsta007:
Sadly, politics does not allow for romanticising ideologies beyond mere romanticism. You have to choose between, usually, what are two poor choices. Often, one is worse than the other. Evidently, APC has shown itself worse than PDP in governance and has admitted it several. Telling ourselves that there is no marked difference between a party that grew and consolidated Nigeria's position as the biggest economy in Africa and the top 3 fastest growing in the world and one that claims to be unaware to statistics like the world's capital of poverty is to be compulsively and insidiously hypocritical and delusional.

Again, I suspect you know this but, as always, people need reminders.

You've reasoned predictably like an average Nigerian. First off, you DO NOT have to choose between two poor choices. If you were asked to choose between the hangman's noose and the electric chair, I'm sure you'll opt to stay alive.

I still insist that you can't separate the two parties cos whatever PDP claimed to have achieved while in charge was done when a good number of the top APC politicians kept faith with PDP but that's not the issue.


The major problem with some of you is that you've wallowed so much in mediocrity that you don't realize the enormity of Nigeria's potentials. Nigeria has all it takes to be among the biggest economies in the world.

Politicians embezzle public funds, commit all sorts of atrocities, trample on our collective privileges and then turn around to bandy trumped up figures so they can be re-elected.

I think positive exposure and mental emancipation would be a good place to start.

madridsta007:
APC has looted the treasury more than any government ever, perhaps in Africa.

The $1bn borrowed to fight Boko Haram a few weeks before the election, even after claiming on international TV that Boko Haram has been defeated, where’s the money? The N5.6bn that that National Assembly found to have been diverted under the VP watch, where is it?

You lots are so funny if you can’t see the deluge of looting going on under a governmentless system.

The same pained and irrationally comparative bellyaching. I am not an APC supporter. There's no marked difference between the two parties. You guys need to open your eyes and realize that the looters and oppressors are the same set of people hiding under various political contraptions. My point is that the entire political class has failed Nigerians and should be flushed out at all cost. Always read between the lines.

Can you guys please stop this elongated wailing about people that stood against Jonathan.

PDP looted the treasury and got lots of things wrong under Jonathan's watch.

Sanusi is not a saint but I respect him for always speaking out for justice when most people in power remain silent. MLK Jnr. once said that 'our lives begin to end the day we decide to keep silent about the things that matter'.

NgeneUkwenu:
I like people with Guts...This man is really Talk Na Do!

So the looting video doesn't bother you.

mhizdebbygold:
He carried himself out of where he was with his friends came to place I was with my friends guys mostly, he came to that place just to do nothing stood there in my front talking to another guy that also followed him from that place they were before... I didn't even act as if I saw him he then left and waved at my friends

Even when my bestie came to school that same evening to see me he was just walking up and down greeting people he had greeted before.

The bolded really cracked me up. I find you very funny. Your Miracle look-alike neighbour obviously likes you.

Ishilove:
It seems your lectures are not taxing. If they were you would not have the time or energy to notice useless things.


PS: Your neighbor is crushing on you.

Cut her some slack ishi, we all passed through that phase. Developing social skills is an important part of tertiary education. It just shouldn't be at the expense of your studies. So Debbie, have fun without losing focus.

Too many Nollywood deaths

I hope she's not wealthy because he will automatically become a suspect.

TRIGITIS:
Take it easy with him, he is actually cracking a joke.

As you can see, he has gotten some "likes", not because they agreed with him but because of the intended fun. And the comment is actually funny.

A jerk makes a silly comment

Disturbed people like it

You found it funny.

That hug something about it.

There's nothing there to show that they are divorced.

That's the spirit. It takes the right attitude to make lemonade when life serves you lemons.

Ksslib:
Can't be having a discussion with somebody who thinks like Season 1 Sansa. Have a nice day.

Thanks, Season 7 Lord Baelish, you too.

Ksslib:
Pls & pls I beg you in the name of the old, new & fairly-used gods, let's stop. Let's just stop.

Sansa can never know Cersei more than Tyrion, presently, pastly or futuristically. You guys are beginning to give that girl too much credit and it's annoying.

Sansa's base for concluding that Cersie won't play ball is ONLY based on her PAST HISTORY with Cersie. She knows Cersei is a cold hearted bitch and that's all. Tyrion, however, knows Cersei on a more deeper level. Asides that, he knows that even the devil can have something to live for . Are we also forgetting the fact that he had a private meeting with Cersei we are yet to get a glimpse of?

Since we all want to analyze, oya na.

Sansa's statement to Tyrion was made out of nothing but assumption - which luckily for her dumb @ss, turned out correct. It was a quick, impulsive conclusion. Sansa never made that conclusion from a strategic or logical point of view. It was a sharp sharp conclusion made from nothing but past emotion. Is that how you want to win the war, ehh madam Lady of Winterfell?

So because Cersei is a cold-hearted bittch, is that enough reason to just assume and conclude Cersei will rather just sit back and not send her troops to support a war that will keep her alive? Only an illogical person will just assume that a bad and evil person will always remain evil in every situation. This difference in reasoning is why Tyrion is the Queen's hand while Sansa will soon become the Queen's burnt offering, or even better, the Night King's next Archimedes spiral if she doesn't tone-down this so-called new "smartness" she picked on the ground.

So Sansa now sees the future? She sat down and was like "nah nah, that evil, cold b1tch Cersie will rather remain in King's Landing and fight the white-walkers herself without needing our help even though we have two dragons?".

Once again, clear proof that the show writers are beginning to intervene. If no, then what other reason does Sansa have for believing Cersei will not join them? She should tell us. Afterall, she's the Lady of Winterfell and the fate of the lives of multitudes will boil down in part to her decision making. Sansa should tell us, maybe after that, we'll start giving her the full respect she deserves. Till then, she should swerve and the producers too, should behave.

And again, Tyrion is not God. He's bound to make mistakes just like every normal human being. Even almighty Night King that is not human made a costly mistake that could have effectively won him the War when he miscalculated the physics & flight trajectory of his second arrow that could have brought down drogon + Dany in season 7 when she rode to save Johnny boy & co from the white walkers.

A simple extrapolation of Newton's second law of motion keeping in mind that the flight of an arrow is parabolic, hence his initial throw-velocity V(¢×) will have to account for air drag (¶ ) & acceleration due to gravity (g) , could have won him the war. But I don't see anybody mocking him for that.

In Tyrion's case, however, it was CLEARLY implied that he had a change of heart after that private meeting with Cersie. A meeting we are yet to see. Something tells me an apology from Sansa, ya'll, or the producers is not too far off. Somebody must apologise to Tyrion, period. Let's watch & see.

I apologise for the long epistle though. It's a curse I carry.

And for God's sake, Arya. What was she thinking when she called Sansa the smartest person she's ever met. And you agree? Lmao..

That girl is two more statements away from entering the dumb list. A girl has no name, agreed!! A girl now has no brain?? Wtf!!

As for the producers, I swear in the name of old, new & fairly-used gods, if you fffuck this show up for me I will stop watching Game of thrones immidiately after the last episode...

Guy relax abeg! First and foremost, we all have to pause and let this fact sink in; A Song of Ice and Fire is exclusively George Ray Richard Martin's intellectual property, so he reserves the right to state emphatically what's what and what's not. Every other person's opinion is subject to discussion based on facts let on by the books and the show.

If you've read the books and followed the series you will know that Tyrion wasn't born smart. Read about the circumstances surrounding his first marriage to Tysha and discover how silly and naive he once was. He also went through some character development to become your infallible intellectual giant.

So, I'm not the one giving Sansa credit, the show is. Cersei didn't just fool Tyrion, she fooled everyone at the meeting; Jon, Dany, Sandor, Davos et al. The blame is just more on Tyrion because he is supposed to be the smartest guy around and like you rightly stated, he had a one on one with his sister, came out and convinced everyone-audience inclusive that Cersei was in. Logic or folly, the fact remains that Tyrion's character was served some bull and he swallowed it hook line and sinker.

Sansa's statement was not borne out of assumption it came from a deep knowledge of how Cersei's mind works. Remember she told Arya in S7 that the parchment was Cersie's ploy to divide them and gain the upper hand. She was also right about the workings of Ramsey's mind and was able contribute positively to winning back Winterfell and she equally defeated Baelish at his own game.

Please read your write-up again. You repeatedly made excuses for Tyrion's shortcomings while seizing every opportunity to disparage Sansa.

Yes, we all love Tyrion. He is the 'T' in GOT if you ask me but any unbiased gender-tolerant viewer will agree that Sansa has undergone tremendous mental development.

So please deal with your prejudice for Sansa or the Starks in general and watch the show with an open mind. You can't tell the producers what to do cos we don't control the story.

RobbStark:
She didn't correctly state that Cercei won't sent the Lannisters army.
don't forget the 3 eyed raven Bran is there and knows exactly at all times what's happening in the 7 kingdoms.

Bran must have told her that the Lannisters army are not coming courtesy of queen Cercei

& what makes you so certain? It's a good point but if it was part of the plot, the show would have given us a glimpse or a hint in that direction. Guys cut Sansa some slack and accept her character development. We didn't write the story.

9jaBloke:
Just my opinion But I think Doreah-Khaleesi's first handmaiden deserves a mention.

Yess. She didn't have plenty of screen time.

meforkene:
Oh..season 5 for real? No wonder there's been plenty assumed fan services. D & D should go easy abeg or just start the war by episode 3.

I'm telling you. I'm just fervently hoping that they don't mess it up. The show is too good not to end well and there are too many loose ends and too little time.

Isomerizm:
That Arya's statement, humbling of Tyrion by making us suppose she knows Cersie more than his sister, are everything that's wrong with the first episode.

Watch as she begins to act all macho and dish out rejoinders (which doesn't suit her anyways) just to prove a metal through fire can become gold.

Sansa's statement you mean. The show has revealed that Tyrion was wrong to have trusted Cercei to fight on Dany's side against the Nightking. Sansa wasn't at the meeting but she correctly surmised that Cercei was up to no good. On that note, she presently knows Cercei more than Tyrion.

meforkene:
Again?
Sansa has ot really been stupid but just dumb.

Like i've said, the Northern families have been very loyal to the Starks that's why they've not decided to discuss her double or triple treasonable offences to her family and the North.

About the character development, it's fine but the runners shouldn't shove it down our throats in one episode (though more shoves to come).
Arya making that statement was just ridiculous.

Tyrion, Jon and Arya so far have been thrown under bus for Sansa to become smart...more to follow but they should just use style biko.

Lol. Arya is just being a Stark and she wants Jon to know exactly whose side she will fight on but I see your point.

I'm also expecting lots of implausible plot twists because the original story ended in season five-where the books stopped. Dan and Dave are just trying to finish the story on a high. I hope they don't jinx it.

LeSulk:
Arya :Sansa is the smartest person I've ever met

Personally, I don't see anything wrong with that statement + it's Arya's opinion for a good reason.

I've actually never seen Sansa as stupid. She was a spoilt, naive girl with fantasies of becoming Queen, then life happened and she was trapped in the capital.

There, she had the unique opportunity to learn from shrewd, calculating minds like Cercei, Varys, Baelish, Tyrion etc. She also survived her aunt and Ramsey. She experienced cruelty, watched people die and witnessed wars.

Sansa has obviously grown physically and otherwise and yes, she's now very clever.

Gbola5:
Yes ! Neither could she ride Viserion when she rode Drogon.

You have to bond with a dragon to ride said dragon. And once that happens the dragon will not let anyone else ride it whilst its rider lives (except the rider is currently present and they all ride together on the dragons back), otherwise it passes on to another person after its riders death. That she's their mother, does not mean she gets to ride all three at once, except Drogon dies or there would be conflict. (The part that isn't so clear - If a rider can ride a second dragon after the first dragon's death - because it never happened). Now Jon has riden Rhaegal, she has no chance. Those sayings, "The Dragon has Three heads", are for a reason you know.

"...it was said that even
Aegon the Conquerer never
dared mount Vhagar or
Meraxes , nor did his sisters
mount Balerion the Black
Dread. Dragons live longer
than men, some for hundreds
of years, so Balerion had
other riders after Aegon
died... but no rider ever flew
two dragons." —Daenerys Targaryen

The riders are complete. Jon, Dany and the Night King.
GRRM has given the showrunners permission to finish the series so they may not adhere strictly to all prophecies in books 1-5.
