RomanceRe: Addictions: Which Is Hardest To Quit? Sex, Masturbation, Drinking, Smoking Etc? by savcy(m): 4:37pm On Sep 14, 2021
Any activity that gratifies the flesh in any sort of way is usually difficult to put a stop to. Only Jesus Christ can empower one to stop them. And even as a born again person, if one doesn't deliberately kill the flesh and its desires victory over these habits would be nothing but a farfetched dream.

There's not much Osinbajo can do to change the security situation of the country. He's a Vice President. He commands nothing that the President doesn't empower him to. I would cut him some slack.

TravelRe: Have You Ever Met Someone Really Nice While Traveling And...? by savcy(m):
Actually, I was the nice person. This happened in 2010. Two years after my family relocated to PH from Obinze, Owerri, I went back there for my Jamb exam. En route, I noticed a lady by my right hand just taking a cursory glance at her photocard. I don't know what moved me to ask, but I proceeded and inquired about her center. She told me, and I asked her if she knew anyone in the city she could bunk with for the night. She was reluctant to say, but she eventually told me she knew no one, and that her plan was to find an Assembly of God's church close to her center and spend the night over there. This was around 6pm or so, and we were barely out of Mile 1 in PH. I told her the plan was risky, because the exact location of her centre was yet unknown to her, and that no one would want to open their doors to her by the time we would arrive the city. I gave her the option to come with me. She rebuffed the idea with a mean scoff and a shrugged shoulder. I insisted because, I was aware of the mess she was getting herself into. Somehow, she found reason and went with me. She was taken aback when I alighted at Obinze military barracks. That lifted her confidence. I took her to my former neighbour, left her there and went over to my place of residence. By the time I would return, she had gotten used to everyone and was dressed in work clothes cooking with the woman's children who were grown up girls. She was just staring at me the whole time, wondering how lucky she was, I guess. The next day, after the exam she called home and everyone in the house spoke with me, pouring blessings on me. grin grin She later told me she would like to stay an extra day, her reason being the place was full of fun stuff to do. All through, I kept coming by to see her and even gave her transport fare back. That girl would have married me if I had kept in touch. Lost my sim, phone and everything bearing her phone number the next year. I changed number and that was the end. Sweet memories.
BusinessRe: Eleme Petrochemicals Gives First Bank 48-Hour Court Notice by savcy(m): 6:47am On May 25, 2021
First bank has been in the news for the wrong reasons lately. I used to view them as one of the most organised banking institutions in the country, but alas! I hope what my mind is telling me won't happen to this bank. If Diamond bank could go under, I don't know any one that can't. They really have to put themselves together.
FamilyRe: Have You Noticed This About Families These Days? by savcy(m):
You're quite observant. I'm not saying that the manner with which kids were raised in those days was particularly perfect, but this tilting to the Western way is dangerous. The results are there for all to see. Our family system is fractured and, I don't even think there's a way back from here. The change is irreversible. It's only a matter of time before a 10 year old would address his father's mate by his first name. The difference in social orientation between Nigerian kids born in 2000 upwards and downwards is so different that, you just don't understand it anymore. 80s and 90s kids know to greet seniors, stand up, if you're sitting down, before shaking an elderly person. They know to leave the room when elders are engaged in a discussion. 2000s kids don't know anything about these things because the system that's supposed to introduce these etiquettes to them is destroyed. Parents now just want to buy every gadget available for their kids so they can be distracted enough to give them some peace and quiet.
PhonesRe: Why Do People Buy & Sell Old Social Media Accounts? by savcy(m): 7:46pm On May 23, 2021
Anyone asking to buy your old Facebook account is out to use it for fraud purposes. Old accounts are like those old pendulum clocks that was much sought after few years back. They have something, like a security feature that makes impersonation easier compared to the newly created ones. In essence, don't ever sell for any reason. You might just get yourself in trouble.

Jobs/VacanciesRe: Let's Talk About Joining Confraternity Before Getting A Job by savcy(m): 9:23am On May 07, 2021
It's common practice in Rivers State since 2015!

Not only when trying to get jobs but contracts, too. Rivers state is dreadful at the moment in this regard. Initially it was just securing government appointments and contracts that demanded joining an occult group, then it trickled down to even private companies. People are getting fired from their jobs for refusing to join cult groups daily. It's hard to secure contract upwards of ₦5m without someone demanding you join one group or another, unless God is with you. It's just terrible how Rivers State has degenerated to this clannish state.

It's actually very rude for him to sound like that. In spite of the risk of falling prey to scammers, there are more than a thousand polite ways to engage an unknown caller other than "get out" after a few seconds of conversation.

PoliticsRe: Seme Border Remains Closed 24 Hours After Buhari’s Order by savcy(m): 7:22am On Dec 18, 2020
Exc2000:
Internal Memoranda that can't convey the Presidency's order to NCS within 24hours shows Negligence


The Commander in Chief's order at a Federal Executive Council Meeting should take effect immediately

If White House orders an airstrike it is enforced immediately by the Airforce.

Should The President give an order to Nigerian Police Force or the Army, Office of the IGP or DHQ immediately sends a signal through Signal division even at night for immediate implementation



.
Why things work that way in the US is, before the President (or 'white house') make any such order publicly, proper communication has been established with the body(ies) responsible for carrying out the action, absolving the said body(ies) of any form of litigation. Here in Nigeria, we make public orders first before proper communication is established with the appropriate bodies for political expediency.

PoliticsRe: Governor Zulum Recommends the Use of Mercenaries to Defeat Boko Haram. by savcy(m): 8:31pm On Nov 30, 2020
PhiliptheArab:
There are no saboteurs sabotaging the Boko Haram war.

Unconventional warfare is warfare that is not designed to be won, or lost. It is designed to scare and frighten your enemy so that the enemy gives up. It doesn't matter how many Bokoist die, or how many battles the Nigerian army wins, so long as Boko can outlast the NA, they have won.

Or why do you think it took decades for the British Army to fight the IRA in Northern Ireland? And that war did not end on the field...it ended with a peace treaty.
How about the Americans in Afghanistan and before then Vietnam? The Soviets in Afghanistan too? The US and the Soviets lost out both in Vietnam and Afghanistan not because of sabotuers, or because of 'corruption'..they infact won most major battles, but because the Vietnamese revolutionaries and the Afghan muhajideen were ready to outlast them.It didn't matter how many times they lost..they always came back for more and more...and were ready to play by no rules....

That's how guriella war works. IF YOU DON'T LOSE, YOU WIN.'. Right now across the world in countries from the Phillipines to Colombia, there are insurgenices that have been lasting for over 3-4 decades.

That's why beating Boko is going to take a long time. (and why I am reluctant to bash both this current government and the previous one for 'failing' to beat Boko.Doing so in a way is a failure to understand guriella warfare).

The mercs we used last time against Boko came from South Africa. South Africa under Arphateid had probably the best COIN forces battliing freedom fioghters in Angola, Namibia and South Africa. The Rhodesians had the best counter-insurgency unit of the 1970's (the infamous Selous Scouts) fighting ZANLA troops. And despite that...the SA bush war and the Rhodesian bush war were not ended on the battle field.

We beat Boko when they fought conventionally. It is the old methods of 'strike and run' that are more difficult to beat.
Spoken like a professional. Blessings. ����
PoliticsRe: End Killings, Lawan, Gbajabiamila Tell Security Agencies by savcy(m): 8:23am On Nov 30, 2020
Sometimes, I just feel that these politicians make these public statements for the sake of plausible deniability and to whip up public emotional support to themselves. As President of the Nigerian Senate, what has Mr. Lawan done with the resources at his disposal to help the security challenges the country is faced with? How many security improvement bills has he, or his support bloc presented for deliberations in the house?

Enough of this playing to the gallery any time a tragic development arises. Security won't improve by merely making public statements.

PoliticsRe: Politicians’ Bizarre Empowerment Schemes by savcy(m): 2:11pm On Nov 28, 2020
It's no longer news the lack of political will among the ruling class to do anything about the raging poverty in the country. These people do not want the average Nigerian to escape poverty for political expedience. Any "empowerment" program they come up with is merely just playing to the gallery. The intent isn't to empower. People who had the heart to hoard palliatives?

God will save this country one day.
PoliticsRe: Ahmed Zainab: Land Borders To Be Reopened Soon by savcy(m): 4:43pm On Nov 25, 2020
Good move. The economy has worsened since the closure was done. Closing the border was in good faith, but as most things Nigerian, it was unduly taken advantage of. Nigeria is probably the only country where any economic policy to aid local manufacturing ends up to the detriment of the masses. Imagine the cost of local rice soaring by more than 400% since the closure.

I also think that, Buhari's economic advisers are not up to date with the happenings of the Nigerian economy. They seem not to realise that the country doesn't have the economic infrastructure to support most of their policies. They simply just make them and hope for the best. Sad.

Mikehot:
yes every city has a ghetto but i don't think ph is humble to admit that, even it's citizens here kept saying they never knew such existed.


Maybe cos of the hype whenever you hear ph so much is been propagated with it

Btw those ghettos could be so much that it explains why ph is a dreadful city especially during elections
I don't think those who say they never knew such places existed in PH were feigning ignorance. I've been in PH for almost 11years now, and, in all my journey I've only ever gone past Spar Mall once. I have absolutely no idea what's beyond Hospital road. I live around Iwofe axis, and I earn my living, to the glory of God, around that area, and I don't think I've been to Trans-Amadi more than twice. Besides, "Bundu waterside" and Iloabuchi areas in PH, aren't places you want to live. Those places are really rough. People only run trade businesses over there, especially at Iloabuchi area. Below are photos I took from my rooftop as soon as I saw your comment. The quality is bad but they offer a glimpse of what I'm saying.

There are tons of areas in PH that looks even better than what the OP posted. I mean tons! If I enter only those small towns wey connect with Ada George road snap show you sef, you go know say PH try.

The rent here is ₦200k for a one bedroom apartment, and ₦350k for a two bedroom apartment. It's a relatively cheap place to live in PH.
