“God only knows what it’s doing to our children’s brains.”

A view on social media shared not by some uninformed luddite, but by one of the people responsible for building Facebook into the social media titan it is today. Sean Parker, Facebook’s founding president, unloaded his worries and criticisms of the network, saying he had no idea what he was doing at the time of its creation.
"It probably interferes with productivity in weird ways. God only knows what it's doing to our children's brains." As for his own habits, Mr Parker said he no longer used social media as it was “too much of a time sink”.

“I use these platforms, I just don’t let these platforms use me,” Mr Parker concluded.

Updates on the Basil plants

The plants are doing very well, almost forgot about them. So many of them in the garden now, even the Igbos around keep commending my efforts bring their favorite ingredient for soup making to their doorstep (Walahi, shame dey catch me if someone knocks on my door telling me "I wan buy scent leaves", I simply tell them, I don't sell but you can have some.

I didn't know this is basil, they grow anyhow around our house here.

I can't access it on my phone.

Am off the group and thread.
Off to Facebook too to un group.

IMPORTANT.

1- First. the registration LINK should be created as the FIRST ITEM OF THIS TREAD & every other page in the tread.

2. CREATE A NEW PAGE AS A REGISTRATION LINK on politics section.

3- ADD THE LINT TO ANY OTHER CONTRIBUTIONS ELSE WHERE. Even on other sections.

4- A Well done to those working on the Party logo and other things. I am also suggeating that a sticker with the party logo and few persuasive word or comment should be created before next monday after which we may volunteer to print and distribute the stickers massively and symultaneusly accross the country tergetting everyone and everywhere such as Public Places, Higher Institutions, Car Packs. Government offices etc.

Pls. If the sticker soft copy is ready. It should be made available here so that everyone can make their inpute & make it a success.

We should also suggest a befitting slogan eg

-CHANGE OF GENERATION, CHANGE IN OUR FUTURE.

-GOODBYE TO YESTERDAY.

-THE REVOLUTION IS HERE.

-NO GOING BACK

-THE NIGRIA SPRING, HERE WE COME

NYRP...... Leaders of today.

The Book of Henry (2017)
This was a really nice and light-hearted movie.....very simple, a bit emotional and full of lessons. If you enjoyed "Gifted" then this movie is yours to see. 7/10

Book of jargon and silly fantasies.

3.0/10

That's cool.
I wish i have money.
I want to rear dogs.
That will be in future though.

what did i just read?

Seun:
@jidestroud, oyetpel: would it be wise to plant tomatoes seeds at this time? What are the challenges I will face if I plants tomatoes now? Tnx.

Dry season is the best time for planting tomatoes.

Because it doesn't need too much rain.

And heavy rain won't be bending your tomato stems.

Sun is needed for it to ripe in time, when they fruiting.

There nothing being posted on the facebook page at all.
No conversation.
People are not commenting.

Baba forget dz ur talk o,it's spiritual abeg. Ur village people no gree drop ur call.
Buh my advice to footballers n musicians is invest ur money wisely. Dz 2 professions re not eternal. You will quit one day so better hv a backup plan

There so many footballers like that, let me even say athletes that didn't make through sport.

We only read stories about successful ones.

If you know what Demba Ba passed through to become a footballer ehn? E remain small, but he made it.

So many unsuccessful stories out there, but who cares?

4koff:
Na so one guy o, my former classmate for One sec school for Benin. I no wan mention names. When we dey Uniben that year, we dey watch the guy dey play champions league with one club for Belgium. Ol Boy the last time I saw the guy for Benin, na okada e dey ride.

In fact make i drop him name............?

Drop his name na, its not like u are shaming him.

ourchoice:
I will share it on Facebook group. It will be for coordinators because it can't accommodate much members.

We are so quiet on twitter....are we getting tired so soon

Let's all arise!

Not everybody is on twitter, some don't know how to use it.

In spite of hyping the party on social media, i still believe in physical approach.

So set things in motion for people in the same states and locality to meet up.

There are some many people like him who never got to be successful in football.

I think his story came up because Real Madrid are playing against his employers Fuenlabrada this week in La liga Copa del rey.

Nice article cheapgoals.
I have never heard of a story like this before, even i no know him.
The guy even played in Nigeria for kwara united.

lindabon:
I think there may be a need for more urgency actually, but of course, even urgency requires a certain amount of care and deliberation. Patience is also of utmost importance and as much as I would like to appeal for patience, we need to understand the country we live in. The truth is that Nigerian's have lost patience and if we don't have plans in place, we will look unserious to them. We are up against these vicious pythons called PDP and APC, who will be on the other side drafting all these policies that they come up with in the toilet. It's not that Nigerians have been stupid to accept their crooked promises, it's always because there is a hunger for change even if its one that is lacking in substance. Waiting is if were are pessimistic. Waiting is if we do not think this will work. …and most importantly; Waiting is if we don't realize that this is Nigeria and Nigerians are desperate. Optimism, on the other hand, is seeing ourselves at the finish line and then looking back at how we got there. If we don't have certain plans yet, we need to let people know why and when we can come up with the plans. For example, if we can't register NYRP because there are requirements such as needing more members, then that should be our response to anyone asking questions. Otherwise, if a Nigerian shows interest in the party and asks these same questions and we don't give them concrete answers; the conclusion of an average Nigerian in their desperation will be that "WE ARE NOT SERIOUS". Yes, there should be a need for patience, but we have to tick faster than a clock. The most important thing is that we must make our policies credible and workable, and without lies or deceit. But my dears, with the hunger and desperation in our beloved country, we have to be VERY FAST, even if it means getting into the Guinness Book of World Record for the party that has come up with the fastest workable policies, so be it. If we sleep or slumber, we risk waking up to 2019 with PDP or APC again.

Fact is:
Nigerians today don't hear wait
Nigerians today don't know patience
And sadly; Nigerians today don't know tomorrow

So this I think, is why most people are a bit in a hurry. So the question is, how do we do this, taking into account the impatience of Nigerians (thanks to our failed politicians), setting things up, the tasks at hand, mapping out our policies, and the need to hit the ground running. Nigerians are desperate, and desperate times will lead to PDP OR APC in 2019 if we don't make ourselves a credible alternative. That's definitely a concern we cannot ignore.

Gosh, you are intelligent.

mekaprime:
the guy was just over greedy, with that kind of money virtually everywhere, I will surely buy an island & retire in peace....I also think it was the CIA who ghosted him & not Escobars' men

It happens to everybody, if constitution allows him, Obasango will continue to contest for Nigeria presidency.

Yahoo boys even after hitting big, let's say 5m, they will still continue to yahoo, cos that's what they do.

Maybe u can say everybody is over greedy then.

Your talk about you being him, and retiring in peace is because of the situation you are now.

Can you be a businessman, then you hit a profit of say 10m, then you stop working?

The more you have money, the more expensive things you will want to buy and your money will finish in no time, then you will have to go back to what you do best.
