Politics / Re: Buhari Says Old ₦‎200 Note Will Remain Legal Tender Till April 10 by othermen: 7:20am On Feb 16, 2023
Emefiele is the presidency.

All Emefiele’s talking points.

Now, when the people resist, there will be a breakdown and the elections won’t hold as scheduled.

This does not serve some of the candidates and so, they will ensure otherwise.

If Nigerians protest, they will not only be resisted by the country’s security apparatus, even Oluomo would help to quell such protests.

In April 2022, Pastor Adeboye did say that the 2023 election might not hold.

Education / Re: How I Found Out My Student Was My Nursery School Teacher –lecturer by othermen: 8:51am On Feb 11, 2023
Learning is a continuous endeavor.

In the academics, even a professor can be a student. I know a professor of accounting in Calabar who became a chartered accountant last year. The certification had alluded him for years and years. In the course of his pursuits, and the frustration of making no headway as such; the demand of the exam required him to learn from several people without a PhD. The professor of accounting did ICAN for over a decade as a professor. Today, he has achieved his dream. Very soon, if he keeps up with his humility, he may get a chance to deliver induction lectures, contribute to the institute syllabus and all at the institute, becoming even more relevant to the institute than FCAs.

Even at the tertiary level, your undergraduate students can become a professor or get a PhD before you do. In a couple of years, if the teacher keeps up , she might become a commissioner of education. It’s all the circle. Continuous learning is what matters. And every moment, the world is moving. Yesterday, you are a graduate, today, a thousand more. Just keep learning and endeavoring to contribute.

I am proud of the teacher. I think at her level, nursery school teacher, she may not even have had NCE, but today, she is onwards towards becoming even more. I hope the lecturer as well, continues to develop himself.

Education / Re: UNN SUG Threatens To Close Down POS Operators Charging Exorbitant Fees (Photo) by othermen: 11:57am On Feb 10, 2023
It’s funny. Because, you cannot forcefully compel economics. Market forces will often always triumph over directives such as issued by the SUG. The intent may be great, but the consequences in reality will be greater.


There is a limitation as to what the POS merchants can withdraw from the bank. The merchants have to spend hours at the ATM to even make withdrawals. Some of them have resorted to buying cash from filling stations or other cash based businesses.

So, the merchants that cannot comply with the SUG directive leaves the school. That means, you have less cash available for students from POS. For the merchants that remains in the school, with the CBN policy, it will be impossible for them to fulfil the demands that arise as a result of the gap created by the POS merchants that left the school.

Those left behind, will be crowded. Even, outsiders from around the school area will want to benefit. They won’t be able to meet students demands. The amount the POS merchants can withdraw remains a constraint.

Students again will have to seek alternatives then, and they will have to go outside school to more exorbitant POS merchants. Now, as at the moment, POS business is not attractive, so no new POS merchants except the SUG empowers students not just with POS but with cash to do the business.

The SUG does not know its power is limited. In the end, they have no power to assure the POS merchants that are willing to make losses today, that in the future, they will be given priority as to expansion of their business within the school. If they had such power, such an incentive might keep the POS merchants from exiting.

Politics / Re: Tinubu Explains Reason For "Low Key" Campaign Rally In Katsina by othermen: 6:22am On Feb 07, 2023
How can you even have political rallies with the situation of things in the country??


That said, in states like Katsina, what matters is the recruitment of the political elites. If the Yaradua matriarch or the emir endorses you or some imams, they are more than sufficient. The grassroots listens.

In the south, there is a want of leadership. Obasanjo is so off. He sacrificed his political influence just to get rid of Jonathan.

Now, his endorsements means absolutely nothing. No one takes him seriously or court his support. No one is voting for Peter Obi because Obasanjo said they should. In Obasanjo voting unit, his anointed candidate would not even win.

The same with Jonathan, becoming an errand boy for Buhari. All of them, contributing their quota to the woes Nigerians experienced during the Buhari administration.

Killings in the north are no longer newsworthy. You know how many vigilantes died only in a day last week? Yet the news media can only give them less than a minutes, because such disasters have become the norm, economic woes is the norm, suffering is the norm.

Obasanjo should know better, that Buhari wasn’t a better alternative to Jonathan. Obasanjo could have helped out, by using his intelligence to identify that the northern elites in Jonathan’s administration were frustrating his campaign against insecurity, but never, he was key to throwing Jonathan under the train.

Obasanjo even now, does nothing else for Peter Obi. He has no structural resources to back up his endorsements of Obi. If Obasanjo was smart, he could have built a cult following, that would have sustained his influence on this country, but he traded all that to bring down Jonathan and did so in very uncharacteristic manner.

Those that matter in Katsina are not like Obasanjo. They would not even address our conventional media in their endorsement. All is done within, and yet more than anybody else, they court the most significant political positions in the country.

Katsina outing is good if you win the Yaradua matriarch over.

It may be the case, that they took a loan from China, to be able to come to such terms. There is, in the end , no free lunch anywhere. Tinubu has shown unwillingness to exacerbate the suffering of Nigeria, for any climate change agenda. Google and Meta are invested in the endeavor. They may as well be bias due to sentiments of the aspirants.

Yet, clueless people. Will they flag end to end encrypted broadcast messages on WhatsApp. Twitter is the pool . The Nigeria Facebook community does not engage in politics as such. Nigeria’s online political discussion thrives on Twitter. Yet it is Facebook they are concerned about.

With the Supreme Court judgment for Lawan, the NIC judgment on ASUU. The judiciary is one of the institutions keeping the nation backward. In this election, its judges are available for hire to the highest bidder.

That said, Atiku’s decision to forgo 5 states is a prediction of what his presidency can mean for Nigeria. The G-5 governors were probably on an ego trip. AYU could have stepped aside, but still be in charge. Atiku would use all he can, to win…and after victory, restore AYU as the chairman, but not Atiku, what matters to him is not the dissatisfaction of a region.

It’s all plus and minus to him, if Deborah has to be condemned to death in order for him to win, yes, he is willing to jettison all Christians to retain the support of his core north. He’s not healthy for a pluralized nation.

But Christ died for sinners. It appears no compassion whatsoever.
How is the fellow even a sinner??

“Throw the stone, Judge not”. How is this not clear?

A member of your church has died, a worker too. The revelation shouldn’t be one to require castigations or aspersions or condemning;

so in the next sermon , the priests say,

“this fellow brought shame to the church and God struck him down, rejoice everyone”

would Christ say so??

God sees the heart.

To show as though the opposite sex, with all its demands, has to only be to the fellow, a genuine source of relief. was a worker yet in the church. Even, if wasn’t, that does not take away the love God has for the kinds. And the death is what it is. Priests and popes die too, saints die young too, in accidents. Such priests are not paedophiles.

It should be about praying for the soul, and comforting the loved ones.

When they cannot access cash, to run their essential daily needs and have to stay days on queue in order to get just #10,000.

They would have died before the election then.

Buhari’s legacy has been unmistakable. In his prior administration and this one, his greatest success has been to inflict greater economic woe on the people.

There is the argument in some quarters that Peter Obi benefits from the policy that has caused significant hardship for the people, because the lack of cash will reduce powerful politicians ability to engage in electoral malpractice or electoral fraud such as vote-buying.

You say you want to hurt the ability of the buyer to buy votes. If their is no Naira, folks will collect dollars. Whether it’s a joke or not. Actually, No to the above and the one before it. The lack of cash will increase the value of cash, and create more incentive to hoard and value currency. When demand is not met, the people become more predisposed to selling their votes for cash. So, rather than get these people out of poverty, so that they have no incentive to sell their votes, you naively think increasing their economic woe will detract them from such an act. No, in the end, the ability of the buyer is not any diminished in a more economically weakened immune populace. It can’t be in a country where a dollar bill is available but equally remains desirable in the town. Or where, at the outskirts, religion and tribe is another currency.

You have to be naive to actually think Emefiele is working in Obi’s interest. Emefiele is working in Emefiele’s interest. And undecided voters are watching you, and wondering how much suffering you will make them endure in an Obi’s presidency.

The cabal is at play, and Obi is no knight, he is a pawn, he may think he is the queen but even Emefiele is a pawn. All of these Emefiele’s corrupt well thought policies in the end and to the long term serves the ego damaged cabal and perhaps Atiku.

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.

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.

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.

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)

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.
