I decided to write this..


Are Nigerians eating too much rice?

Was reading through a post of a Nairalander where he was writing Nigerians of today are eating too much rice.
The writer pinpoint the time of the popular writer Late Chinua Achebe of blessed memory where rice was eaten once in a year or during some special occasions. Why is that? because back then the Agricultural sector was something to write home about, there were different kinds of foods and they were relatively cheap, as a matter of fact foodstuffs back then were mostly fresh foods and that is the major reason most people then had a longer life span unlike today. The foodstuff were always in large quantity in their barns so who will care for rice when there is enough to eat.
But what do we have today,the Agricultural sector is half dead, you can't get those fresh foods at a cheaper price, the price of one "Abuja Yam" will buy you some cups of rice not until this recession period that things started changing, then who is to blame Nigerians for consuming too much rice? if you want a reduction in the consumption of rice then we must go back to agriculture..

Ponzi Schemes Conversation.

Last night I was with my wife and neither of us had dinner, then she turned to me "sweet, bring money lets get something to eat" I looked at her and started stammering "M.M.M". she looked at me angrily "you think it is by saying em em em like a fish, a man that doesn't provide for his house will not see PARADISE" I opened my mouth shocked by her utterances "We can GET HELP from our neighbours or will turn to GET HELP from the WORLD." she looked at me like I spoke French, "Shameless man you can't join the GIVERS FORUM,you only know how to receive or is Dangote not your mate?"
I smiled at her and said "don't worry ,I am praying to get a ULTIMATE CYCLER change in my life and I will start doing CHARITY to help people in need but this night we have to go to bed hungry except if you want me to join a ponzi scheme...

Ten ways to win an Election in Nigeria setting.
Political candidates in Nigeria across every level go through alot to garner votes.

1. Discuss with the power that be to know if you are good to go, if they disapprove just "jejely" accept defeat and don't go and start wasting money because you wouldn't win but if they approve,you have won halfway.
2. Even if you are proud become humble, start doing things average Nigerians do, like buying meat at Sabo market, eat rice and stew at Iya Risi buka among others and remember to take your photographer along with you.
3. Have an online PR,yes this is the order of the day,Today Nigeria election can determine from the online community,so you have to employ a PR or a team of PRs to manage your online campaign(I can offer the service too o..)
4. Know your strongholds and be sure they are truly your strong holds so its doesn't turn to be your weak holds on the main day.
5. Always have a punch line for any candidate that tries to fire you. follow the tactics fire for fire(note: only wordplay)
6. Never ever underestimate the other opponents.
7. There are no permanent friends or fiends but permanent interest therefore, don't trust your friends too much and don't push your fiends away.
8. Always have a plan B and let it be personal.
9. if you are good with propaganda by all means please use it.
10. Above all be prepared to gift out consumables to the public.

The term "first generation bank" is totally different from first bank

it is first bank because that is the only first generation bank along that axis the closest bank nearby is skye bank which is not a first generation bank.

That No 6 is on point. Most times as early as first week of November, you have been disturbed with Gbosa, Gbosa of knock out. We are approaching December, I haven't heard a single noise of knock out.

As we all know Christmas is around the corner but the issue is " will 2016 Christmas be the same as that of 2015? " from the look of things I bring to you things that might happen this Christmas season.


1. The demand of food will further increase therefore causing a great increase in price, commodity foods like rice will be so exorbitant. Reason for this? as at now the price of food his hitting hard on the income and will even hit harder during festive period. so expect more of "Jollof beans", "Jollof garri" and the likes.


2. A sharp increase in the price of clothings,it will be so sharp it can cut a finger and spill blood. as we all know Christmas is a period most parent showcase their wealth by buying clothes for their wards guess what there is going to be a difference this year,old clothes will be washed and old shoes polished.


3. High cost of transportation: as at now there have been rumours that there will be a hike in the price of petrol if this should come to reality then expect a increase in price of transportation which means most people are going to stay back in their homes to minimize expenses in few words "no home town travelling"


4. Increase in House rent: if you are the type that lives in rented apartment just be prepared for an increase in House rent especially those that pay yearly. Landlords will want to gain more money.


5. More Chicken will escape death: as funny as it might look like, 2016 will be a blessing to chickens as only a few among them will die while most will live to see 2017. This means expect a sharp increase.


6. use of knock-outs/bangers will minimized because there wouldn't be wasteful spending.


7. More people will depend on MMM,Paradise and other ponzi schemes for this Christmas celebration.


8. Families will do joint cooking. you will hear "Mr Ade let us contribute money to buy one bag of rice then we share it."


9. Any religious place of worship that says it will be giving out food on FOC basis(free of charge) will be full to the brim.


10. And most importantly Nigerians will shout Buhari's name because that is the only thing we are good at,shout,shout and no action.

All the same I wish you a merry Christmas in advance.


Note: pls use 2016 to prepare for 2017..
for now this is the vision I can see.

ASUU strike is coming at the wrong time because this is the moment Nigerians especially academics are suppose to put their hands over their face in shame, Nigeria is in recession and there is no brain whatsoever to give the right advice.

A prof in electrical engineering that can't fix his wire issue and the likes.

Nigeria Education especially tertiary education sector is a big shame and no group be it ASUU,SANUU,ASUP or whatever should come out to protest for anything.. ..really angry this morning.
