Properties › Re: Do Everything Possible To Own A Car And A Piece Of Land Before You are 35. by papyjaypaul: 6:14pm On Mar 18, 2025
At 35 conquer your mind as a man. Don't let the world own you at this stage of life. Do this, don't do that. You'll get to your 40s and the doctor will tell you to start walking and do some exercises. Don't let the world fool you with their definition of what you are and who you are.

From service in action,
he served with devotion,
Now retiring in peace, a life of emotion.
But his family’s dark plan, full of deception,
Seeks to take what is his, with cruel intention.

They plot and they scheme with no sense of compassion,
Hoping to break him, causing him frustration.
But he stands strong, with unwavering conviction,
Ready to face them, with no fear of submission.

May their greed be stopped by swift intervention,
And may his life end free from their oppression.

Everyone, pay attention.
This life is nothing but a passing obsession!
Phones › Re: Bill Mandating Bloggers to have Physical Offices Scales Second Reading At Senate by papyjaypaul: 5:11pm On Mar 18, 2025
Does Alex Reporter or whatever his name have a registered addresshuh

The bill, titled ‘A Bill for an Act to Amend the Nigeria Data Protection Act, 2023, to Mandate the Establishment of Physical Offices within the Territorial Boundaries of the Federal Republic of Nigeria by Social Media Platforms, and for Related Matters, 2025 (SB. 650),” was sponsored by Senator Ned Munir Nwoko APC, Delta North.

... bloggers must establish a verifiable office in any of the capital cities across the country, maintain proper employee records and belong to a recognized national association of bloggers, headquartered in Abuja
The same way of creating needless agencies and associations. Someone in the village must go to the capital city to register. Nigerian politicians are afraid of citizen journalism. The next thing is to ask for every Facebook and Twitter user to have a registered address. We know where they are going to.

The big corporations can have offices in Nigeria. That I agree with but they don't know what blogging is. Before the social media platforms came into existence, people have blogged. Because they don't come with good intentions, this bill if passed will make them see what they never anticipated because you will chase your people to where you have no control. And the person that controls what you cannot control in your house is not your friend.
Phones › Re: Bill Mandating Bloggers to have Physical Offices Scales Second Reading At Senate by papyjaypaul: 4:59pm On Mar 18, 2025
Unfortunately you cannot police the internet, though I agree with the bill but we all know it's for a wrong motive. Na so Sahara disturb them but Nigerians know how to go around the loophole.

Do not forget that El Rufai had said that Tinubu and his team are good with the media. APC knows the power of the media and how it got them to power. Immediately after they won the election in 2015, we saw the changes that they did to their media stations and outlets. NBC changed some regulations to how the terrorist attacks were reported and the new word was bandits. Radio Continental in Lagos was disbanded and became Max FM. Radio Continental that used to discuss politics, now became entertainment station. Newspaper headlines for radio stations changed. Their other stations on TV, they only allowed their lackeys control the narrative. One thing APC did not anticipate was that they don't own the media space. They could have controlled traditional media for their propaganda but the young ones do not rely on that anymore.

I agree with control of blogging but I know the media has always been a problem for dictators because they like to look good on the media. You can hear it from the Senate President himself when he talks about the media. They don't like being called out, they don't like what they can't control that makes them look bad, even if it's true. This is level 1 sign to dictatorship. We can't forget the story of Cross River Watch, Dadiyata and so many more. Even Dan Bello has received threats.

What rule did the NYSC girl break.

No rhetorics.
I follow the likes of emkz to save me the stress of explaining several times. I don't care if people insult me but those who fail to study history will ultimately repeat it. I have posted a response to this question in another thread but emkz helps me capture it better. One girl called Buhari a bad boy, I laughed hard at it. The context of that event made sense. This corps member called a President terrible whilst serving, I think she doesn't know how organizations work. It's it everything they need to spell out to you, that's why you went to school and lawyers get paid for interpretations.

Odemwingie was fighting for his rights but the others were cowards too because they didn't go to social media or the press. 🤡 Odemwingie later regrets that he couldn't win an AFCON in 2013 and his West Brom rant. He learned later on. He was used as content back then, yes he was right, no he was wrong but who paid the price? Nigeria has seen many like her, and as much as I want Nigeria to change and I align with the sentiments in her comments, I'm not going to push her to die for Nigeria on my behalf. The likes of Gani did the same thing for the Nigerian masses, when it was time to payback, guess who they went for? Their Stockholm Syndrome Nurses. You gonna learn. The authorities will wait for their time, you don't fight the system by throwing yourself under the bus recklessly. It's not being a coward.

emkz:
Capital punishment does not have any meaning in NYSC context. It means capital punishment, i.e., decapitation.

The presidential aide was wrong, and an apology would not be out of order.

As for those asking about the NYSC rules flouted, NYSC bye-laws are publicly available. Go to the website and read where it talks about insubordination to constituted authority. You can ask what constitutes insubordination.

Assuming you argue that calling the boss of her institution terrible does not amount to insubordination, when she was asked to delete the video, did she obey immediately?

She claimed to have been threatened. How many have asked her to explain what constitutes a threat?

She wasn't threatened. She is playing the victim here, just like Senator you know who.

They said she posted a video that NYSC considered to be in bad taste. Ordinarily, Tinubu would not even care. He himself said he didn't read social media because they abused hell out of him. When NYSC asked her to delete the video, it was probably more to protect her and ensure there is discipline in the scheme. By telling a lie that she was victimized, she has blown a simple case that has given her negative publicity. She'd enjoy the fame, then what next?

These social media urchins want to blow. Are they ready to manage the "blowing"? Temporary social media fame is like gas that escapes when you open fizzy drinks. Once it goes, it will never come back, except you continue doing more things to produce more gas. Do you want this type of depressing life?

Do not let the likes of Omoyele Sowore, Deji Adeyanju and Inibehe Effiong deceive you. They'd milk your foolishness to enhance their public image and leave you to dry to move on to the next exciting public matter.

Sports › Re: See Peter Odemwingie Now by papyjaypaul: 3:18am On Mar 18, 2025
In an unrelated but related event, the NYSC girl makes me remember Osaze and how he was disciplined in Nigeria and England for his behavior. People don't understand why we have rules, everything na right. They don't know how to use the system to fight while they survive. They think everyone else is a coward. Joke is on them.

Your open support for Minister Wike's destabilization of Rivers State is most regrettable.
This will be the President's undoing. While listening to Donu Kogbara, one of the things that she said is annoying Rivers people is that President Tinubu is acting in an arrogant way in a state where he is not popular.

As at 1999 even, that would have been true. I remember the days of the molues.

Tinubu came up and changed everything. He created the modern Lagos we have now. However, Onitsha, Owerri and Aba are now the king of dirtiestness.
I am above the foolish tribal fights you guys engage in. It's no news that Lagos was dirty under Tinubu. Fashola was the only one to make a remarkable difference between 2007 and 2015. He even started a campaign of tree planting which some of the people laughed at. This is where I blame the people because the Government has made effort but the people have not bought into it

Your mind is where the problem is. You have a mindset that is not helping you, that is why you are unhappy. Your state of mind is temporary, that is the good news. That temporary state is troubling you and you want to take your life so it can end. I think you need to read some books. You need to rebuild your mind. You can't control what is happening to you but you can control what you can react to.

Where are you? What's your age range? What do you do for a living?

We are living in the era where some people think speaking about Tinubu is an offence and speaking about Tinubu in Lagos is an offence.

Speaking about Tinubu publicly as a corps member on social media is violating NYSC Act but this dangerous thing of saying that just because you are from another state, you can't speak about your country, a part of your country, the GCFR and President of Nigeria is insane. Tinubu himself is not from Lagos so what is this madness abouthuh

Does it not occur to you that of the tens of thousands of PU officers deployed nationwide, most will have and have voiced their political opinions in one forum or the other?

If this is your level of thinking its not surprising that you believe that criticizing the government is the same as being involved in partisan politics!
Please shift.
You are responding more with sentiments than logic. Kenny Ogungbe was on The Honest Bunch. The presenters asked him why he went to serve at his age since he has made it in life. He didn't even school in Nigeria. Maybe you should go and watch it so that you will understand that life is not gra gra. The problem is that you guys want to make your own rules when it suits you. You all don't know that time passes and tomorrow, the people there now will be history. It's not about them, it's about context. In the contest, she is not disciplined but what do I know? If I have to explain how her comments are political or why the medium she used is the press, it means many of you just like to choose the rules that you like. Only kids do that.

papyjaypaul:
I agree with the sentiments of the corps member but I don't condone indiscipline. She must have done orientation and read the NYSC bylaws. Gen Z act without thinking, they think the social media is another universe that exists outside the real world. As a NYSC member, you are a civil servant for one year. That government can use you how they want for one year. If they want to draft you to fight another country, you have no choice as a corps member. For now, Tinubu is your boss as a NYSC member and you do not have the authority to speak on some things while you are still in service. Know this and know peace, this is how you start learning things as an adult. You need to read the rules of the game before playing in it.

When we were younger, you are on your own when you misbehave. Now, you are celebrated when you misbehave.

If the girl broke the rules of NYSC, what exactly is Sowore expecting to do? Prevent her from being disciplined?

There is also report from the girl that NYSC threatened the girl. What exactly constitutes a threat? I think she was asked to delete the video, which in my view was to protect her from the fame she wanted.

It never ends well.

If we do not run a society by the rule of law, a time would come when people would commit murder and the likes of Sowore would egg him on because they hate the government of the day.

We'd also ask the authorities to abandon selective justice so that they'd not be seen as being biased. This is with reference to the misnomer of "repentant bandits" or "repentant terrorists". Let them face proper trial and let them be severely punished.

You can't be applying one set of rules to one set of idiots and another set of rules to another set of idiots and expect society to trust you.

Do the right thing at all times.
Bless you for this post! The internet is a mob. They love the sensation. I have been insulted and called out because I don't support the girl's action. We have a big problem in this country but I'm not surprised. One thing about Nigeria is that people cannot think for themselves, they find it offensive when you disagree and instead of correcting the issue, they will resort to insults. The lady should receive proper counsel from those who love her. I am disappointed in Obi for supporting this madness, the same person who believes process is more important than results. What kind of country are they building?

State governors are one of the problems we have in this country but people always think it's the President. The President cannot be everywhere. Your LG has more direct relationship with you and responsibility to serve you than your President but the politicians want to corner the LG like the godfathers want to corner the Governors.

If you go abroad, you see that your council is the one you interact with more than the government at the center. In Nigeria, State Governors will be doing work of LG, opening markets, constructing local roads, managing waste and work that is reserved for LG. They will now use it to compaign.
