The grass is greener on the other side of the fence. Ethiopia, how? But Nigerians just want to travel, thinking they just have to escape the hardship at home
budaatum: Before one teaches, Brendaniel, one must first learn about teaching, and the nature of humans, and how we learn, and how to teach, etc etc etc, and what to teach why, but the fact you seem to think character can not be changed amuses me considering your own character changed from pro Nigeria to anti.
Free breakfast, free lunch, free books, free uniforms, free shoes, free transport money if they can not get to school starting from age 4-5 all the way to 18, insha'Allah.
First year will teach them ali ba ta sa and a b c and the alphabet of your own language and 1 2 3 4 and plus and minus and multiply and divide and what, why, when, where, who, and how. I will force it into their character at the early stage before their tabula stops to rasa and they will not depart from it.
Please know that you did ask me to be unrealistic when you asked me what buda would do if buda was president buda, when in the current reality no one has elected buda, and nor has buda campaigned to be president, realistically.
I'm Yoruba like you, except you are not Yoruba. I'm not Brendaniel. Why are you mixing up the two?
budaatum: Sir, our lifestyle and politics and religion and culture and education etc in each region are not things in our dna that we are born with and can not change, but are precisely and exactly a product of what we are fed and taught in each region.
It's kind of like a software installed in people in each region is different, and is predominantly Catholicism in the Igbos, Protestantism in the Yorubas and Islam in the Hausas, with crossovers of course since not all in any tribe adopted all what they were fed.
First, I do not believe the Almajiri system is wrong. I have studied its implementation and I have seen the results, and I know it does not produce what will positively impact a person's life nor move a nation forward and there are better education systems, and I can very easily provide evidence so that enough people abandon almanjeri and go to school.
I will bribe students with lunch, note.
This is why the president budaatum of Nigeria is starting by changing your installed software (of belief) by reforming the education system of Nigeria so that you may use your own eyes to ask and knock and seek for yourself and understand what you see like buda does, instead of mere believing what you are told to.
My new education syllabus will teach people to reason like me not to believe whatever you are told, but to use your own brain to find answers to what, why, who, when why, how. The intention is to inculcate a new culture in everyone, that they should not be ignorant believing enslaved made from mud and afraid of knowledge almanjeri Adams, but become powerful asking and knocking aad seeking and feeding daily on fruits of trees of knowledge to rule and subdue and multiply blessed images of God.
I'm not describing some magic wand I wave and the lights turn on and almanjeri is abandoned by all Brendaniel, and yes, I do expect opposition and resistance especially when I set up camp for a week in Ramadan in the middle of Sambesi Forest. Don't you worry about my safety. The entire Nigerian Army will be there to protect me and I will screen me live on youtube for Nigerians to look at me there.
If I start with nursery one students (only because it would be as hard as forcing a camel through the eye of your needle to make you abandon your current ideology and consider this new understanding and ideology), I would likely get some before their minds are polluted with the beliefs and ideologies and cultures and religions and politics in their regions. And I have the feeling I can make a generation have a culture that knows we are our own gods. I mean. Just look at you Brendaniel, calling my ideas good already.
But, Brendaniel, I think you underestimate your own powers and abilities. It may seem small, but you made me order the belows. Call them bullets in the gun that will kill the ignorance of almanjeri in Nigeria. I very much appreciate you adding them to my ammo.
You are not being realistic. I read where you said you would bribe almajiri with free lunch so they could attend school. It's not in their character, so it will fail. What they want is exactly what they have now. I've been to the north and I've seen clearly that they will not change. The only thing that can make Nigeria work is for the north to be decoupled from the south. Ibo and Yorubas insult each other die, but intermarriage among the two is farrrrrrrrrr higher than intermarriage between either of the two and northerners.
As long as the northern votes are factored in, Obi can never defeat Tinubu nor Atiku in a free and fair election

Kushites: Blacks actually invented GPS Satellite Navigation (look up Gladys West), co-invented computers (Mark Dean) invented AI (David Blackwell). The Nigerian, Phillip Emeagwali, was among them. He won the Gordon Bell prize in 1989 for pioneering parallel computing in which thousands of processors can solve complex equations in real time, which is a basis for modern AI systems today.
IFA BINARY MATHEMATICS is the basis for digital computing. In IFA divination, 256 represents the full range of possibillities. Same as in digital computing.
I know you have no idea that that your ancestors' mathematical genius is the basis for modern computing. So technology isn't just about ''the white man'' with your colonised heads.
The same IFA the colonialists taught you to shun as ''primitive and demonic'' is the basis for modern computing.
They stole your knowledge to use, and then twisted it as 'evil and barbaric' to make you shun it, and worship their white face as your ''lord and saviour''.
U.m.u..... e.w.u.
So why didn't your ancestors use their ifa knowledge to develop their own computing industry? Simple question. Continue deceiving yourself, ewu
OP Their names alone tells you they were NOT ordinary men.
The ones you mentioned na Small children.
Except Alexander the Great. Thousands of years later, his works still speak. His name still evokes power.
But the name with the biggest aura past, present and forever more is Jesus of Nazareth. So much aura that people pray in the name yet he walked this earth as a man.
Kemetian: SEE, THIS IS WHY THE WORLD LOOKS DOWN ON AFRICANS.
WHERE IS YOUR OWN RELIGION?
WHAT ARE THOSE AFRICAN MEN DOING IN SAUDI ARABIA?
DOES GOD LIVE IN SAUDI ARABIA BUT NOT NIGERIA OR AFRICA?
HOW SO??
HOW CAN YOU JUST ALLOW FOREIGNERS TO INVADE HERE AND FLOG YOU OUT OF YOUR ANCESTRAL RELIGION, SPIRITUALITY, AND PHILOSOPHIES, AND NEXT THING, YOU'RE FOLLOWING THEIR GODS AND TRAVELLING EN MASSE TO THEIR COUNTRIES ON 'PILGRIMAGE'?
WHERE IS YOUR OWN RELIGION AND SPIRITUALITY THAT PREDATES ISLAM AND CHRISTIANITY BY THOUSANDS OF YEARS?
WHY CAN'T YOU UPDATE AND REBRAND AND DISPLAY IT PROUDLY TO THE WORLD?
THE CHINESE, JAPANESE, INDIANS, ALL PRACTICE THEIR TRADITIONAL RELIGION, SUITABLY UPDATED FOR THE MODERN ERA. BUDDHISM. SHINTOISM, HINDUISM, TAOISM.
YOU WILL NEVER FIND THEM LOOKING FOR GOD IN ARABIA OR ROME.
ONLY YOU PEOPLE.
WHEN WILL YOU WAKE UP?
YOU'RE JUST A DISGRACE.
FOLLOW FOLLOW. NO DIGNITY. NO SHAME.
TUFIA!
Olodo. Abu Dhabi in Saudi This your hatred for anything foreign should make you throw away your phone and stop writing in English, the language of your slave masters
chigator2: Hydrogen sulphide, high probablity given the foul odour and colorless release.
The landowner should invite qualified prospectors to assess the presence of crude oil. If oil is found, the resource can be monetized appropriately, and the families of the well diggers should be fairly and adequately compensated.
You are right. Hydrogen sulphide is very dangerous and deadly
Brendaniel: Even if Obi becomes president , I will still want Nigeria divided, what your people want is not what my people want, same with the Islamic north
I stand with you on this. One of my greatest wish is for the Yoruba nation to be on its own and blossom, free from all the shackles one Nigeria has on her
Kushites: If they put you in that era you will complain till kingdom come.
Who told you they didn't worry about food?
So you don't know that malnutrition and infant mortality figures were highest during the colonial era?
You people are so ignorant, it's sad.
Go on ChatGPT and ask about infant mortality rates etc in 1950s versus 2026.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DRUM INTO YOUR HEADS that the COLONIAL ERA was one of PLUNDER of the Nigerian economy and resources by the British invaders.
The very reason for INVADING AND COLONISING a country, is to exploit its resources for the benefit of the invading country.
It's not to develop YOU and make your lives better.
IT WAS TO STEAL FROM YOU!!
$50 TRILLION is the amount Britain looted in Nigerian resources, according to ChatGPT AI calculations.
That's why we were underdeveloped in 1960, and lacked even a single power plant, university, or industry worthy of the name, despite your almighty "oyinbo" ruling for nearly a century.
Always arguing blindly. Don't let your hatred for white people make you mad. They gave you the phone in your hand, the clothestyle you wear and many more. Besides I wasn't talking about white people. I don't know what brought white people into this. Why are you always talking about them if you weren't secretly admiring them? If you didn't think they were above you, you wouldn't always be talking about them. You are obsessed.
I was talking about how simple and green the environment was then against now before you started saying nonsense. My neighbourhood in the 80s and 90s was one of the cleanest and pristine placed in Ibadan. There was a clear silvery river where we could swim and fish. The houses were fee and planned. No one goes near the river today. It's a dumpsite, so to say.
He's talking about mortality rate in Nigeria. It was high. It's still the highest in the world. So what are you saying.
Nigeria's still arguably the poorest country in the world in terms of population. So what are you arguing about?
He's talking about education improving. We are still number one in terms of out of school children. So what are you arguing about?
Weve managed to add terrorism to it. And a few new diseases here and there. 😁😁😁😁
nairalanda1: Before anyone comes and starts saying the good old days
1. Under colonial rule,most people did not have access to good roads, good power supply, and potable water
2. Only a tiny minority went to school,even fewer went to colleges like these
3. Most people were not rich. They were poor.
4. Development was dependent on whether the colonialists found your area useful to their purposes. Hence the police college being built in Lagos.
Life was better then than now I guess. Of course they had challenges then but now society has bigger challenges.
They didn't worry so much about food nor high rents. Savage crimes were minimal. People were more contented. They respected one another more. And look how uncongested that place is. Even Ibadan and osogbo are congested today.
You hardly see any green space in any town or village today. Everywhere na so so concrete, heat and noise.
