I have been so busy, been quite long I wrote long epistles.

My favorite client gave me a stunning gist. She said Time was gonna go back in Ireland shocked. I was like, wow.
They want to account for the shorter days as Winter is coming!!!!!!!!
By adjusting the time for one hour, we are able to make do with the shorter days.
It's quite confusing for me tho

This is the explanation, you must have seen daylight saving in your phone Time Setting, this concept was introduced by Benjamin Franklin, ill love to be like this guy, imagine a politician with an all rounded knowledge, from being an inventor, he's also printer, businessman, civic activist, writer, scientist, Humorist, diplomat..... this guy is a genius, that's why America is where it is today.
Can you imagine a politician with these attributes. I personally consider him to be greater than Albert Einstein. He could compete against the best in various fields and make them pant.

Among everything I listed above he's also a Christian. And one of the things he wrote about is Practical Christian living. You have to discipline yourself if you want to live the Christian life, in my teens, while I was playing of Assassin creeds game, Rogue, I think. He was featured there. I went to a bookshop in Yaba, and got his biography and consumed it. His almanac is loaded.

If you're here and you believe the Fairytale that God will leave his majestic throne in heaven, clear our mess and make Nigeria clean and safe, You are A Big FOOL. I will blame our pastors for this, why didn't God himself build these churches himself, these men of God went through turmoil and would even use deceit to raise these funds. why will pastors fill our head with mirages, daydreams and fairytale about who God is. If you don't work, you'll not eat. It's very easy to sit down and expect miracle to happen, it's extremely convenient especially if you're better off.

There is no order in Nigeria, Jesus is a master of order and peace. In the miracle of feeding 5000 men, women and children were not counted o. After the little boys lunch, comprising of 5 loaves of bread and two fishes was discovered and it was time to bring down the Power. Jesus created a system, he told the disciples to arrange the multitude in segment of 50, that's order. That's 100 segments. 50 X 100 is 5000, Jesus never used miracle to do this, he worked. Even the pulpit that the pastor is screaming from. So painstakingly made it. The Ark of the covenant was constructed by men.

Back to Ben, it's hightime we only consider leader with intelligence, how can you have a president that's dull and sluggish, the nation have to beg for a president to address the nation, even when he spot, it was so fishy and blurry. My poor Samsung camera can do a better job, how can we conduct elections without debate and expect intelligent governing? These presidents consume a lot of our resources, tax payer hustle, they're there serve us. I'm not even sure he's alive. Years ago, he went weeks without being seen, very fishy and shady, just like the time of Yar' adua, who was dead for months. This is unacceptable.

Back to daylight savings. Franklin proposed the daylight savings time.
The idea is to make the most out of the Sunlight and retire to rest when it's dark. As "the night cometh when no man can work".
We want to get the most of the daylight as it starts to get very dark from 5pm. You guys will remember when I posted how the sun was still out around 10pm. So dublin wants to utilize the daytime by make sure you're out of the house earlier and back home earlier.


So from 2am on Sunday, majority of you guys will be one head ahead of me cry

Something strange happened yesterday.

One of the followers here, was coming to Dublin from Nigeria . From the DM, he got lucky and secured a room in the house I live. I could see the amazement in his face as I showed him around the house, how we use the facilities...., this would have been what he would have seen before he pays. The owner of the house will arrange a viewing and then show you all there is to know, the location of things and household items...he was supposed to see them before he pays. But he paid before seeing them.

He could recognize some parts of the house based on what I post here and when I finally took him to my room. I could see something similar to when a fiction springs to life. It was very satisfying I must say and priceless. He was scanning the room and he was cross-referencing it to the image he had in his mind when I described the house and the few pictures I posted. I couldn't stop smiling when he asked me about the BlackBerries. grin

I don't know why I'm smiling just by reading this piece here.. the guy while be like so these BlackBerry bushes isn't just fiction so all these aren't just fairytale.

Their Childish scheming didnt work and they wanted to put the blame on our Noble celebrities who raise their voice to our cause. SARS cant touch them and they weren't selfish at all. I'm glad it was a decentralized protest, if not they will push the damages caused by the Thugs that was hired by the government on the Leader of the protest.
If you doubt that, Explain how Thugs and Hoodlums were caught riding SUV worth millions with some men un suit commandeering them. Remember these thugs are poor as Bleep. Someone unleashed these thugs and they went out of their control.

We were organized. A purely decentralized protest with one voice. For once, we were all Nigerians. No one cared if we were Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa. People say that was when we truly gained independence. I had butterflies when I saw the pictures.
Our old Shriveled corrupt leaders saw it and Panicked. Then they brought in tribalism, army and hoodlums to divide us, a strategy God employed when a United society were gonna build the tower of Babel by giving them different languages. Of Divide and conquer.

Desmond has proven to be a cry baby and I'm sad hes representing the youth in the national assembly. He has practically pushed the the damages caused by hoodlums on us. What sort of culture encourages poverty and improvishment. The lagos government and the Army keeps playing Table tennis on who ordered the killing of innocent protesters that faithful day. The figure heads need to resign.

Chiggsglover:

Here is what the problem was, we all thought the protest was organized and working fine because it was "decentralised" while it wasn't. Lol.

Protests don't work that way in Nigeria, there has to be a leader or leaders who will negotiate our demands with the government.

Again, the protests began with #EndSars and #EndPoliceBrutality and when the government ended SARS, the protests were supposed to be paused [not stopped] and let the leaders (if there were leaders) take over from there and ensure the demands were met.

Instead of doing that, the protesters went into demanding unrealistic things like for Buhari to resign, ending the police entirely (yeah they did), legalising LGBT, reducing reps and senators salary (they are the ones to approve it lol), some smugglers in my area were demanding customs to be scrapped and more unrealistic things.

When the voice was no longer one, thugs and miscreants (government sponsored and normal ones [majorly normal ones]) saw the opportunity to infiltrate the protest and disrupt the country and they did just that.

The protest could have been better than this if it was very organized. Their major mistakes was thinking every young Nigerian is peaceful and not having leaders to say how things will go (organising) and negotiate with the government.

I don't know if this made any sense to you, but I was continuously monitoring the protests but online and offline and this is my take.

The government also had their own issues (they have been shitty since the beginning) but we shouldn't absolve ourselves from the blame.

This beautiful art was constructed from the rummage of the Lebanon blast in Beirut.
What you see here is Upcycling and I am extremely passionate about this. My experience at Lekki Art Studio was Enriching.


Those that died in the peaceful protest at the insidious Lekki toll gate supposedly in control by the Godfathers of Lagos deserve a monument or statue, they were killed for exercising their right and it's a big embarrassment.

Monuments serve as a constant subtle reminder about the evil of that day. Everytime you see that monument, it sends a conscious and unconscious message to you. What happened that day must not repeat itself.
The amount of waste is shocking. Upcyling can reduce waste and it's wonderful to see. It's extremely hard to get a used tire in Ireland, you see that almost every street in Lagos. A man somewhere in Africa was seen using used car tyres to make slippers., it's not a must you use cement to build house, plastic and other forms of items can be stacked together to make walls for house. This will reduce building cost and create shelter for those under the bridge. Plastic bottles can be used to create floating island, we can see example of such somewhere in Togo or ghana. Let me stop here.....

What's big about being in a job. Why have they not resigned? Someone ordered a them to be shot and there should be accountability. Lives were lost.
The judicial panel was refused an impromptu entry to the military hospital. They were later allowed after they were done with God-Knows-What.

And now Walter Wallace was killed in the US just this Monday. His mother called the police cos he was acting up. No crime was committed unlike the case of George Floyd who was accused of bringing fake bills. For just holding a knife, he was shot 10 times for walking away. That was shocking. This happened few days to the election and it will influence the election result in the favour of Joe Biden, half-irish, half -american.

You spoke lots of truth here, the protest wasn't entirely a failure if I must say.
We really shook Nigeria.

About the resignation of Buhari, I can see some drastic measure taken by the ex-millitary leader.
About LGBT, that's laughable, I can't imagine they will demand that. I personally didn't see that tho.

In all, I'm glad we have social media on our side and Coverups are not possible due to bountiful eyewitness recordings. The Youths know their voice and know that they can use. I'm glad some good old Nigerians are continuing the fight on television.
