BusinessRe: New Naira Notes: CEOs Of Commercial Banks Back Extension Of Deadline by othermen: 10:07am On Jan 27, 2023
The Buhari administration ruined Nigeria economy.

Emefiele is part of that administration, he is still a key member of the national economy elite team.

Emefiele has always been political in his monetary and fiscal policy choices. It’s such political pleasure that has made him create billionaire from the significant impairment of the value of Naira with other currencies. It’s also obviously for political reasons that this currency change issue is arising.

Not that, he has the interest of folks at heart.
PoliticsRe: Gbadebo Rhodes-Vivour (LP Lagos Governorship Candidate) Engagement Thread by othermen: 9:08am On Jan 27, 2023
I think the first five pages or a little could have been set aside for responses. Such that, members can only begin to ask questions from the 6th page. That way, navigation to the responses of the candidate is convenient for anyone. Because the candidate is answering the question, such a question automatically shows on the FP.

To the candidate, I really haven’t seen any impressive response from you on here or your handlers are not doing a great job. Saying Lagos can be better or it deserves more, or the quality of lives of its residents can be improved or infrastructures are overinflated is what any candidate can say. Exactly how and where and what you will do to address the inadequacies is what matters to whether your aim now to create awareness about your ambition is sustainable.

You can say “we are going to build a link up between north and south” or say, “we are going to be involved with the NPF, in ensuring all police deployed to the state, receive state sponsored training “ That is a better approach Sir.

PoliticsRe: Tinubu Vows To End Strike In Varsities by othermen:
The Buhari’s administration has created a blue print for how ASUU is to be treated. It’s going down hill, I don’t think Tinubu would change course especially with his lieutenant, Gbajabiamila betrayal, forsaking of the union.
He made an agreement with the union, and failed to honor his assurances.

In the next administration, the current Buhari blueprint, which Tinubu hasn’t provided an alternative, indicate the cost of education would not be affordable for several. Education subsidy is set to be removed. When it’s removed, the students will protest but not for too long, as Tinubu will offer them the Endsars protest meal and laugh as he did in the aftermath of the Endsars massacre.
EducationRe: 75% Nigerian Children Can’t Read, Solve Maths – UNICEF by othermen: 6:53am On Jan 25, 2023
Nigeria is a very big country. I am sure this data is very reliable. We cannot possibly live in denial and expect things to get better. We should be courageous enough to acknowledge our inadequacies and take steps to get better.

Aside in fewer towns in most states, rural education is absolutely struggling even in the south. How many places have you been to, to know?
There are several schools where students can’t even communicate in English, and in the south too.

There are actually several communities, with out of school children.

It’s lack of exposure, that makes some of us propel generalizations based on our immediate environment. Some don’t even know that there are several communities in the south, where they have to travel Kilometers before they can make calls.

Travel a little bit outward and stop living in your bubble, in the towns , go from there inward, and you would find teachers who are barely literate and struggling to even read, in those schools. In the south too, just travel to communities with very large farm plantations and in the North, it’s total eclipse there.

Prophet, make war on the unbelievers and the hypocrites and deal rigorously with them. Hell shall be their home: an evil fate. (Koran 9:73)

Believers, make war on the infidels who dwell around you. Deal firmly with them. Know that God is with the righteous. (Koran 9:123)

The believers who stay at home—apart from those that suffer from a grave impediment—are not the equal of those who fight for the cause of God with their goods and their persons. God has given those that fight with their goods and their persons a higher rank than those who stay at home. God has promised all a good reward; but far richer is the recompense of those who fight for Him He that leaves his dwelling to fight for God and His apos- tle and is then overtaken by death, shall be rewarded by God. . . . The unbelievers are your inveterate enemies. (Koran 4:95-101)

Let those who would exchange the life of this world for the here- after, fight for the cause of God; whoever fights for the cause of God, whether he dies or triumphs, We shall richly reward him.... The true believers fight for the cause of God, but the infidels fight for the devil. Fight then against the friends of Satan Say: "Tri- fling are the pleasures of this life. The hereafter is better for those who would keep from evil. . . ." (Koran 4:74-78)
Music/RadioRe: Kizz Daniel's Buga And Rema's Calm Down, Which Of Them Is A Bigger Song? by othermen:
Biggest singles of the 21st century? That’s some claim there. If, from Africa or Nigeria is added to the assertion, perhaps.

They both have massive reception. This is not a question about the quality of the song or personal preference. There are clear indices to know which song is bigger.

Calm down has more than double the views of Buga on YouTube. It probably also has more than ten times the streaming Buga has.

However there is Gangnam style which has billions of views and streams, far more than Bob Marley’s One Love, but the song, One Love is a bigger song in respect of how enduring it has become.

It won’t be out of place to argue as well, that streaming may not be the best indices to measure how great a song is, and whether we have presidents or leaders of nations dancing to Buga, it may also not be the best indices.

Time will answer the question.
HealthRe: Brain Drain: FG Moves To Hire Nigerian Doctors Abroad by othermen: 10:24am On Jan 11, 2023
Whether they are just noticing, paying a fair amount should at least slow down the rush, but that is just by the way.

The doctors yet know that by remaining in this country, they can be the next Barrister Omobolanle or Dr Chinelo.

You need to build a safe and working country. These are the things attractive about those places that hire our healthcare providers.

CelebritiesRe: I Didn’t Want To Die – Teni Explains Reason For Her Weight Loss by othermen:
Obesity can be morbid. It’s not to be glamorized. While I am glad for Teni’s realization, I believe she has a responsibility to be careful; and it is great she has now chosen to be an ambassador for being healthy, but it appears she has to be more responsible in the role. All of what she has said has not provided so much indication as to how she naturally achieved her new body. It's likely many would think she achieved it through prolonged starvation.

But such prolonged starvation is even more likely to lead to death quicker, than obesity will. If she did naturally, She must have maintained a certain diet which is probably not natural. Sharing a diet, or your workout plans that aided the achievement would be great.

enough of story

The issue is even if her transformation is natural and born of her own personal effort, which I significantly doubt; she is creating unhealthy targets for folks on the big side. Just like Korra Obidi body transformation after her child's delivery. Several husbands thought their wives were lazy, many women desired to return to the pre-pregnant body shape. Starved themselves of essential nutrients and collapsed into sorrow or death.
FamilyRe: Selfish Sibling Willing To Do Anything To Solely Inherit by othermen: 9:31am On Dec 30, 2022
I am glad you and your siblings were able to get an education. Have you met a lawyer? What is the advice you received? Is he a stepbrother?? and can you give an estimate of the worth of your father's estate??

It will seem, by the final question, that whatever the case, your father's estate is worth a great deal to you. It will also seem that your attempt at litigation is not as forthcoming or going in the direction you desire.

Regardless, I am of the opinion, you will accomplish even more than your father if you set your mind right to becoming successful from your own toil.

Of coz, the share of the resources from your fathers' estate may alleviate several issues towards becoming even more successful, or it may facilitate the commencement of your own dreams or business idea, but if capital is not forthcoming from this end, you can look further to other means, perhaps get a paid job using your education.

If you can build the proper mindset, you can accomplish so much more.

If it’s important to you, absolutely. So you respond as usual.

But he may be going through a bit too. Try to check on him. You could call, but not to discuss that, just to get an incline into his overall affairs.

If by tomorrow, his reference to him is as well diminished, when you are sure he is fine, ask about the sudden change and tell him your preference.

For some, you have to be a darling to be called a darling. For some, this could be an indication, he’s withdrawing from you temporarily.

CelebritiesRe: Destiny Etiko Adopts Her Gateman's Daughter, Shades Estranged Adopted Daughter by othermen:
She is still hurt and I feel sorry for her. I hope Chinenye can reconcile with her,

but it appears what she wants is a baby or a toy, someone she can fully own. It is often difficult to get such. It's likely that when this one grows, she would meet the fate of Chinenye too.

Here, she is saying how she was hurt; that Chinenye was rude, disrespectful, ungrateful, backbiting and too wild.

but whether she is or wasn't

I hope she reflects on how her the manner of her relationship with Chinenye got so sore, and try as much to be better from it.

A hug can be a source of warmth and comfort, but when excessive, it can be suffocating, and when you try to get a breathe of fresh air, the person offering the hug may see such as you being rude, disrespectful, ungrateful or becoming wild. Just to get a breathe of fresh air, you want to tell others your experience, and you easily qualify to be described as backbiting too... but this is all simplifying an experience we are not exactly aware of... Chinenye could have been so much worse and Destiny wasn't even any demanding. We do not know.

In the end, I didn't know Chinenye before today, but it appears I know her now. So all of these as well, may just be a stunt at publicity.

Obviously, this is more news worthy to the admin than the Calabar carnival tragedy that took over 15 lives yesterday.

Maybe in 2 weeks or a month, those that depend on Nairaland for their news would get an update about the Calabar carnival tragedy.

Also, this particular Soludo’s news is in the past. It’s a stale news. Other Online media dropped the story yesterday.

CelebritiesRe: Jamal Adebayo "Isbae U" Loses father by othermen: 7:02pm On Dec 27, 2022
I think this headline can be better.

The man is popular in his own right, and he has achieved enough that such an event regardless of who his son is, is newsworthy.

He is not just Isbae U father. He is a popular Yoruba movie star. Even far popular among the older population than Isbae U.

And his name should be in the headline. His name is KAMAL.

Gods comfort to those he left behind.

High blood pressure can cause stroke. Not orgasm. With High blood pressure, it doesn’t matter the activity. You could even be eating.

Physical inactivity/obesity, Cholesterol imbalance (Fat and Cigarette consumption), diabetes, prior transient body weaknesses or slurred speeches, heart diseases among others, are risk factors that can increase the likelihood of a stroke.
CrimeRe: FHQ Condemns Bolanle Raheem's Death - FPRO, Olumuyiwa Adejobi by othermen: 7:53pm On Dec 26, 2022
What is justice unless there is an overhaul of the system that produced the killer cop? If this one is removed, another one just picks up his weapon, and it is another death some days later.

When this happens, our outburst is temporary & ineffective, we move, 'wasn't us' 'not a relative' ... the problem with moving on & not demanding proper change is you or your loved one, will meet another product of the police reality that produced this killer cop.

She belongs to a circle that have made her fatal situation prominent , yours don’t even have such a belonging. In spite of that, by tomorrow , we will back to the issues of yesterday. The victim joins a long list of people who are just going about their lives, but employees of the Nigeria police whether drunk or under the influence; have those lives cut short.

Now, she didn't fit the appearance of the youths the police were known to murder. could have been any of us, your mother, father, sibling, uncle, niece, or nephew. just a going to church and never returning. not your business today, okay.. wait till it is, for it should be.

It is that police reality that needs an overhauling. when you end SARS, the officers are rebranded, but the mentality remains the same. From attraction to recruitment to training, to constant psychological evaluations of members of the force; there is to be done.

Nigeria itself needs an overhauling!!!

But all through, the Buhari administration, Emefiele has failed Nigerians. If this is chance at redemption, and he’s been put out. We may be in.

Messi is extraordinary and congratulations to him. However, I like Ronaldo more. His ambition is powerful and really overwhelming, sadly, even on his legacies. I will miss Ronaldo, but then hopefully, Mbappe and Haaland suffice.
football pundits , likes of linekar and Carragher have built their relevance and following on pissing at Ronaldo or fueling the debate. When Ronaldo goes, they will be out of steam.
