BusinessFetswallet And Failed Transactions by pdppower(op): 8:44pm On Nov 03, 2022
It has now become a habit for the online payment platform, Fetswallet not to credit people's account after debit by banks. There are loads of complaints on their Twitter handle and Facebook page. However, no matter the amount of complaints, they never respond.

I funded my account with them since yesterday, but up to this moment, the account on their app still reads zero naira. Have they also joined the scam apps or what?

My fellow igbos, let's ignore this op who always report negativity from our SE.

Alternatively, let's blame Tinubu, Buhari, fulani herdsmen and dss.

After that, we can go take some doses of mkpurimmiri, drink water, then go back to social media to insult the living daylight out of Tinubu.

That is how we can continue to torment agbado urchins and we will just be fine.

EducationBetween ASUU's "Quacks" And Nans's "Cracks" By Farooq Kperogi by pdppower(op): 8:27am On Sep 01, 2022
Between ASUU’s “Quacks” and NANS’s “Cracks”

By Farooq Kperogi

ASUU president Emmanuel Osodeke obviously didn’t know what “quack” really meant when he used it to refer to state universities that either weren’t a part of the ongoing strike from the get-go or that pulled out of it in response to pressures from state governments.

No context remotely justifies his use of the term, as I’ll show shortly.

But NANS president Sunday Dayo Asefon has just descended a step further than the ASUU president in mistaking “quacks” for “cracks.”

In responding to Osodeke’s dismissal of non-striking state universities as “quacks,” Asefon misrepresented Osodeke on Arise TV as saying that ASUU members in state universities are “cracks.”

"I look [sic] at the interview of the ASUU president today saying that some university [sic] are CRACK, that some CRACKS university [sic],” he said. “In a country where you're a president of ASUU, so those schools that the ASUU president refers to as a CRACKED university [sic] where they also have ASUU leadership. That means the ASUU chairman [sic] in that, those schools are CRACK!"��

To assure us that this wasn’t an unintentional, one-off pronunciational mishap, Asefon uttered “crack” four times in just 28 seconds, often putting both bodily and vocal emphasis, including an air quote, on the word.

Well, if the teacher doesn’t know the meaning of “quack,” do you blame the student for mistaking “quack” for “crack”?

The teacher spoke like a quack and the student spoke like he was on crack!

“Quack” is the short form of “quacksalver” (which is now archaic) and initially meant a fake medical doctor. The word’s meaning has now been expanded to include anyone who professes to possess knowledge or skill that they do not possess.

If you’ve risen to the pinnacle of the academic hierarchy in an English-speaking university, irrespective of your field of specialization, and don’t know the meaning of a basic English word like “quack,” you might be mistaken for a quack yourself.

You don’t become a quack because you are not part of a strike, are not a member of a union on strike, or because you pulled out of a strike embarked upon by your union after initially joining it.

In fact, even if you fake being an ASUU member when you're not, you're not a quack since ASUU membership is neither a form of knowledge or a skill.

How about "crack"? The closest word to "crack" that I can find in reference to a human being is "crackhead," which means someone who is addicted to crack cocaine (often simply called "crack" in America).

And, frankly, the 40-something-year-old perpetual NANS president looked and sounded like a crackhead on Arise TV!

To be fair to Osodeke and Asefon, though, there’s an enduring tendency in Nigeria for people to assume the meaning of words or expressions based on how they sound without bothering to look up their actual meanings.

For example, the majority of Nigerians I've interacted with from high school to now think “bogus” means “big” because “bogus” sounds like it should mean “big.” But the word actually means fake.

Similarly, a lot of Nigerians tend to think that “a cog in the wheel” means an obstacle or a hindrance to something. It actually means an insignificant but nonetheless essential person in a large organization such as a low-prestige, low-paid clerk who makes things happen.

Nice handwriting. Good. However, "aw" and "oo" are not diphthongs. They are monophthongs. The other two diphthongs are in words like "here, clear, share, fair" etc

Controversial Nigerian evangelist, Funmilayo Adebayo popularly known as Mummy GO, has criticised Christians watching the popular Nigerian reality television show, BBNaija.

In a viral video she was seen preaching to her followers stating reasons for them to shun the show, calling Christians who view the shows ‘bastard’.

Giving her interpretation of the show’s logo during a sermon, the preacher said, “This is the logo of Big Brother Nigeria (BBNaija). For a child of God to be watching this demonic programme, you are nothing but a bastard.”

She further lashed out at pastors whose congregants watch the show also calling them bastards.


“And you’re not only the bastard, but your pastor is also a bastard… because this logo represents the eyes of Orion, which is one of the archangels that fell fighting God… anti-God,” the preacher said.


The controversial evangelist became a social media sensation after snippets of her preachings trended on the Nigerian digital space earlier this year.

In an interview, Mummy G.O, claimed that some of the videos which circulated online were doctored saying, ‘even the Lucifer won’t say those things .’

“I’ve seen those videos but I didn’t feel bad because some of those posting these things are my enemies. 90 per cent of them are just catching fun on social media and jumping on trends. They don’t know me.


“Many don’t know the scandalous reasons why it started. In Nigeria, stress is too much for the youth. People need what will make them laugh. Some didn’t even know I exist. I didn’t say those things. Most of the videos are edited.

“Even Lucifer won’t say those things if he were to become pastor not to talk of a preacher. Those doing it started eight years ago. They first used magazines but started sending armed people to pursue me when it didn’t work,” she said.

CYBERSOLDIERSre:
Now also answer mW first, WHY ARE THERE NO MORE AGITATION FOR ODUA REPUBLIC/YORUBA NATION?

Is it because Tinubu is contesting for Nigerian President?
Agitation for Oodua nation was not as deeply rooted as that of Biafra. I don't think any Yoruba tagged Nigeria a zoo, but Igbos did, courtesy of Mazi Kownu. Now, you want an Igno to become the president of the zoo. Isn't that hypocritical?
PoliticsWhy Amare There No More Agitations For Biafra? by pdppower(op): 12:03pm On Jul 23, 2022
Before the emergence of Peter Obi as the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, IPOB was always about agitation for the creation of Biafra, referendum, let our people go, Nigeria is a zoo.
However, they are now silent and every call now is for people to vote Obi as president.
I ask myself, President of where? Zoo or where?
Do they now believe in one Nigeria now or they have just been hypocritical since all these while?
