PoliticsRe: ₦47Bn Yearly Power Bill Unsustainable, FG Explains Aso Rock Solar Installation by papyjaypaul: 5:55pm On Apr 25, 2025
Band A for Aso Rock.

That The President, who is in charge of the Presidency can't call his Minister of Power to stop the fraud called Electricity Banditry with all the power he has is unbelievable. The same man that can declare a state of emergency in Rivers but won't do the same for power. I think you can see where the interest lies.

Fake life, fake certificate, fake election result.
Isn't it incredible Nigerians voted for someone whose former colleagues or classmates say "we went to school together", "we worked at Aso Rock together", "we used to play under the mango tree together"huh

Is this a mysterious person? Truth can hide for a long time and it will come out when all the lies cannot cover it anymore.

Seun, urge your mods to stop using Nairaland as feed for their friends' YouTube channels. It's the transition of bloggers to vloggers. Same script, no impact. Simply gossip and rumor.

Seun:
Dear Nairalanders,

I want to thank you for your continued feedback and patience as we tackle the crisis caused by our decision to use the antispam bot to enforce more rules on Nairaland. While the action helped us to tackle many chronic issues, it also led to disastrous ban of hundreds of innocent Nairalanders. To significantly improve accuracy, the bot will avoid moderating complex issues that require human nuance.

While we work on further improvements, here are some tips to ensure your posts don't accidentally trigger the bot:
- Keep your posts related to the thread topic.
- You can disagree strongly with fellow Nairalanders, but do not insult them.
- Don't put any type of obscene content on Nairaland.
- Do not encourage or call for violence against anyone.
- Don't spam or try to scam Nairalanders. We will not tolerate this.
- Don't illegally upload or post links to illegally download copyrighted music, movies, games, or software.

We believe these changes are a significant step towards a better balance.

Thank you for being part of Nairaland.

Best Regards,
Seun Osewa.

You're the only person who has questioned what the mods pushed on FP. Seun, bots are not enough to do this. You need mature mods who check content before pushing topics for views. Again there's a motivation by YouTubers to have clicks on their videos through Nairaland. Don't make your site fudder for their own gain.

You don't get yet

I said the fear she expressed was her own personal emotional reaction to the situation which she tried to justify with reason. There was nothing to be afraid of. She obviously has phobia for large water bodies and that was what she focused on and recorded and posted on social media.

If I were on that boat ,I certainly wouldn't react they way she reacted . I'm used to it and know when it can be risky to be stranded.

I have boarded planes in the past that experienced serious turbulence in the air to the extent some passengers cried, said their last prayers, or even fainted, but I wasn't bothered much during those times because it something I have become used to.

So please, don't to use the lady's account
of the incident to judge they were at risk.

You haven't heard from the other passengers or the management of the ferry to know exactly what happened.
I like the last part, so we cannot really evaluate the whole situation because what we have seen is just one person's account. Therefore, there's nothing wrong in what she did.

Talking about people with phones

triplechoice:
I didn't trivialize anything but put things in the right perspective for others to understand she wasn't any such risk in the situation she described.

Following your reasoning that anything could happen, one could also warned that people don't board planes or even vehicles since accidents happen.
Let me analyse your post again

triplechoice:
She wasn't at any risk ,but probably because of her phobia for wild body of water she thought she was .

She was at risk in a body of water. And yes, der phobia can put others at risk. In the early 90s, comedians used road or plane accidents as comedy material until 9/11 and the multiple plane crashes that happened when Obasanjo was in power. What was the joke about? How men or women, Igbo, Hausa or Yoruba react when there is an accident scare? They even used 2face material that nobody wan die but we wan go heaven. There is a risk sir.



triplechoice:
The boat wasn't leaking

I am not an expert so I cannot say anything on this but if something preventable like fuel was not checked, I don't trust their quality assurance checks.



triplechoice:
It wasn't experiencing any severe turbulence as they waited for fuel

You have a good observation here. This is where customer service works. What is the update? How did the boat operators manage the sutiation to assure passengers that all was wellhuh



triplechoice:
And moreover, she had a Life jacket on.

Hello sir, a life jacket is a temporary emergency equipment. It's not a life jacket as you think it is. It doesn't mean you can't die with a life jacket on. We don't even know how medical conditions, people can die in water or the fear of water, which is real.




triplechoice:
So what was there to be afraid of that she had to record it and post on social media to spoil business for the ferry owners?

Or was she afraid that some "mamy water" would capsize the boat?

Well, Instead of refusing her boarding, the managers of the ferry should have educated her that there was nothing to be afraid of in the situation they found themselves so she could stay calm incase it happens again.

I agree with your last paragraph but if the boar operators were serious, they will also have live recording and monitoring of their operations. It helps in investigations too.
We live in an era of citizen journalism. That's why I put the Delta air crash video on my last post. It was recorded by a passenger who was in the flight despite the fact that it was an accident. Was that spoiling the business of Delta Airlines even though the airports have cameras everywhere?

Arostar2023:
She should be applauded for creating content out of a desperate situation? People create content for social media clout or profit out of everything these days. Most people posting videos online are not motivating by the desire to bring about positive change,but for personal profit. Although her case might be different in this particular case.
When the airplane crash landed from US to Canada, who did the recording? Passengers. I don't like recording everything but the smartphone has made it impossible to avoid it. Many people are recording without phones sef


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sZeksExNlZs?feature=shared
People react differently but to say she was at no risk is not true. Anything can happen. Weather can change anytime. The riverine communities in the South South have traveled many times on water and it's one small incident that will change everything.

Has it gone this bad? Not even 2 years have been completed and all you evil people are concerned is 2027.
All that these miserable people are concerned is about the grabbing of power at the detriment of the security and welfare of the people. Well, just like the case of the dead despot, Sani Abacha, God has a way of intervening on behalf of His people since the people at the grassroots have lost their say in the scheme of things as a result of the partisanship of both INEC and the Judiciary.
You remind me of history that's why I'm less worried. History is repeating itself. They did this during Abacha's time.

Most of human beings have chosen ignorance because of fear and lies.
When someone dies they have a chance of taking their second body to return. This second body if it’s hurt or killed, doesn’t have another spare. You’re lucky. Welcome your girlfriend and enjoy life with her instead of harlots. With her second body, she has access to information that will turn you to a king among men, but it’s totally up to you because she loves you.
I don’t know what lies or religion grew you with fear, but next time ask her quietly to show herself to you that you won’t freak out. But first you must open your heart to learn what you didn’t know before and remove fear.
The person in your house is your girlfriend with her second body as designed by God. She loves you deeply. If she wants to hurt you, you’d be gone since. So welcome her.
I like how this comment got another comment as reply

Naksu:
You want to welcome her? Does that mean you don't plan on settling down in future? Or do you intend on marrying a ghost. Have you thought about the implications.
It's when he wants to marry someone the world can see that he will know that ghosts have feelings too. She won't allow him enjoy life and only him can enjoy her company. Nothing goes for nothing. Either you enjoy her and her spirit world that only him can see or she destroys him till he joins her in the world beyond. Everyone else will see him as mad because he can see what they cannot see. What kind of life is that? You only live once, you only die once, choose one.

What are you today?

A nation full of thieves and drug dealers
I hear this all the time but it is still not an excuse. The parents of the past were concerned about morals and values, even though the 10% are leading the country to ruins. It's still better than no guardrails at all.
FamilyRe: Unlearning Toxic Nigerian Parenting Habits: A Call For Change by papyjaypaul:
I agree with most of them but number 7, I disagree with it. I also think we should be careful how we condemn parenting because they parented with the best information available to them while the world is changing. For example, number 6 about career choice is not exactly their fault. It was part of protecting family prestige and out of love they wanted you to choose certain career paths. This is what colonialism did to us and it is common in Africa and Asia. Go to TikTok today and check Asian parenting, you'll see that they are similar. The colonialists controlled the ecomomy and for you to do well in life, your parents insisted on certain career paths because they are also paying for your education. In western countries, if you don't come from a well to do family, you won't smell college, not to talk of university. E get why we be say Nigerians are one of the most highly educated immigrants in the United States. Also parents didn't think you had seen life, that's why they chose some path for you. I remember Falz and Funke Akindele said their parents made them study law even if they did not want it. Look at them today, Falz is good with entertainment contracts and copyright, talent is not enough there. Education helped him even if he could not see it. Those are things parents insisted on and it is not toxic.

If you spare the rod, you are on your own. Discipline is lacking today and I tell you that you can't give children too much freedom. It takes 20+ years for your brains to mature, so what are we talking about? I just posted in another thread about parents not being prepared for the 21st century challenges. Parenting is serious business and if you can't manage it, please don't get anyone pregnant.

papyjaypaul:
The internet is the streets many parents never prepared for in the 21st century parenting. Their children did not need to go outside, just give them the phone to show them what the world outside is. It's not easy to protect a child from the strong influence of the internet and social media.
