Travel › Re: Hotel Lobbies From Around The World by opalu: 5:24pm On Apr 21
Opportunity
By Berton Braley

With doubt and dismay you are smitten
You think there's no chance for you, son?
Why, the best books haven't been written
The best race hasn't been run,
The best score hasn't been made yet,
The best song hasn't been sung,
The best tune hasn't been played yet,
Cheer up, for the world is young!

No chance? Why the world is just eager
For things that you ought to create
Its store of true wealth is still meagre
Its needs are incessant and great,
It yearns for more power and beauty
More laughter and love and romance,
More loyalty, labor and duty,
No chance- why there's nothing but chance!

For the best verse hasn't been rhymed yet,
The best house hasn't been planned,
The highest peak hasn't been climbed yet,
The mightiest rivers aren't spanned,
Don't worry and fret, faint hearted,
The chances have just begun,
For the Best jobs haven't been started,
The Best work hasn't been done.

Politics › Re: Nigeria’s Insecurity Has Reached ‘state Of War’ – Arewa Forum by opalu: 4:54pm On Apr 15
In this life, never select President and Vice President based on Muslim-Muslim ticket to pepper Christians. Because prices of food is not shared based on religion. Insecurity is not distributed based on religion. Electricity is not shared based on religion.
Just choose the BEST and leave the rest

Politics › Re: Tinubu Will Be Judged On Results Not Politics Mastery - Phrank Shaibu To Keyamo by opalu: 7:42am On Apr 14
I discovered that Nairaland Polls are just playing on our intelligence. They are skewed in such a way to give an unfair and unjust opinions for the voters.

For instance what brought "drug baron" tag inside this matter? Is it not about RESULTS VS POLITICAL MASTERY that is being discussed on this thread?

Business › Re: CBN Tightens BVN Rules From May 1: 5 Key Changes To Know by opalu: 3:20pm On Apr 11
We were told that with BVN, financial crimes will be reduced to zero. That didn't happen. Crime keeps going higher and higher
Later we heard that with NIN, no crime relating to account numbers and phone numbers. That it will end Kidnapping and no more phone related to phone calls.
We did NIN, yet kidnaping and others skyrocketed.

When will you regulators keep to your words?

Politics › Re: Broadcasters Ask Wike To Publicly Apologise To Seun Okinbaloye, Threaten Boycott by opalu: 4:57pm On Apr 06

Do a little background check before you speak in public places. By so doing you won't disgrace your village
Foreign Affairs › Re: Iran Destroys U.S Army CH-47 Helicopter In Kuwait (Photos) by opalu: 1:54pm On Apr 04
The person who sets these Votes on Nairaland is a sympathizer to Iran. The way you frame the questions is not objective enough.
Someone says War is always 70% propaganda and 30% attacks.
At the end, noone wins

Politics › Re: 2027: Makinde Wants To Replace Wike As FCT Minister – Deji Adeyanju by opalu: 6:36am On Mar 18
So because of a gossip from a political cashivist disguised as an activist, Nairaland is doing an online poll? Nairaland is fast losing it. Haba
Public opinion polls are conducted on verified thought not on unfounded gossips
Business › Re: 31 Nigerian Banks Have Met Cbn’s ₦500bn Recapitalisation Rule Amidst Deadline by opalu: 1:10pm On Mar 12
Trueigbo:
Polaris bank, keystone and union bank are not expected to meet this as stated by CBN. the banks are under CBN watch so no cause for alarm.


POLARIS, KEYSTONE and UNION bank customers should not panic. No bank will be closed for not meeting the capital requirement. what happens is that the banks will move to the band where they can operate
Why don't they merge the three of them into one National Bank?

Politics › Re: Crisis Hits Osun APC As Omisore Drags Party To Court by opalu: 8:50pm On Mar 10
The same way PDP accepted strange bedfellows it imploded from within. History is about to repeat itself. But they never learn

China built a great wall around it against enemies when the greatest enemies where within. Chinese empire imploded from within.

Politics › Re: Ibadan Explosion: Return FG’s N30 Billion With Interest – Fayose To Makinde by opalu: 5:16pm On Jan 02
If Governor Makinde were to give me ₦10 billion, he would get 1,000 mass-housing units that he could use as a flagship project in his presidential campaign. These homes would be allocated to ordinary workers through a fully transparent raffle conducted live on television. That single action would make the entire nation recognize him as the strongest presidential candidate for 2027. We can deliver all 1,000 housing units within just nine months.

Politics › Re: No One Above 70 Should Be President, Governor – Pat Utomi by opalu: 9:48am On Jan 02
Very true. How can 70 years 70-year-old person occupy a political post? Even traditional rules nowadays are young men not to talk of President.
