Politics / Re: We’ve Lost Our Most-valued Crude Oil Customers – FG by Scientheosopher(m): 11:26am On Oct 21, 2022 |
Spoke reality! This is perhaps the most truthful take by a minister in PMB's government on the ending days of crude oil as the major source of (commercial) fuel in the World. #Bad news to those that wants Nigeria to remain one because of crude oil. |

Politics / Re: I Know PDP Has Caused Nigerians Some Pains – Banky W by Scientheosopher(m): 1:06pm On Oct 13, 2022 |
Banky W said he joined PDP because their (his and PDP's) ideology matches and PDP's structure—and he seems to realise all these because INEC delisted his former political party! If your party meets INEC requirements (implied by his statement) yet gets delisted, isn't taking INEC to court the right thing to do, if you believe in your party? Banky W seems to think otherwise. Structure is people. And people follow you when you are worthy to be followed. Banky W is from a wealthy background, a celebrity and have (had?) people like Wizkid, etc., who have huge followings. These qualities are enough to build structure, but he couldn't leverage them. Now, he is in PDP because the work has be done by those in the party. Smart guy. Ideology. It's not really about ideology but "executology". PDP and APC, like other parties, basically have the same ideology. These are security, poverty reduction and economy building. But their leadership is largely different, and this is mostly because of party's caucus decisions. So the reason of ideology is baseless. And does he think the PDP godfathers would allow him execute his ideas judging from their usual ways? Only time may tell. #Banky W sounds like another Desmond Elliot in the making. I wish him what is best for the mass, if elected. |
Politics / Re: Buhari Confers National Award On Atiku’s Running Mate, Okowa, Others by Scientheosopher(m): 3:55pm On Oct 11, 2022 |

Politics / Re: Peter Obi’s Quiet inroads into the Muslim North By Farooq A. Kperogi by Scientheosopher(m): 1:16pm On Oct 08, 2022 |
"Because Obi is making a mark, however imperceptible, in these regions where he was previously unknown, we should recognize that he is no longer the underdog that he once was. In order to avoid a repeat of Buhari, critical citizens should ask Obi hard, soul-searching questions because he could be president. For example, why did he allow the Anambra State University branch of ASUU to go on strike for more than six months and even going so far as to sack the school’s vice chancellor “because of his alleged romance with the striking workers of the university,” according to the Daily Sun of January 19, 2011. How is he different from Buhari in this regard? Why did he allow doctors in Anambra State to go on strike for 13 months, which led to many needless deaths? The doctors called off their strike without Obi meeting their demands. And he implemented the no-work-no-pay rule when Anambra civil servants went on strike to demand to be paid minimum wage. While he was governor of Anambra, he played typical Nigerian politics of divide and rule. He played Catholics against Anglicans and even stigmatized political opponents as “Yoruba” people, according to Professor Okey Ndibe who wrote extensively on him. “It is similarly appalling that a governor who reportedly has ambitions for higher political office could not restrain himself from disparaging Mr. Ngige as a Yoruba candidate,” Ndibe wrote in his April 18, 2011, column titled “Peter Obi, Akunyili and Political Folly.” “Even if we accepted the silly argument that the ACN was a Yoruba party – so what? Is the governor allergic to forging political alliances with the Yoruba? Is he not aware that such appeals to base, ethnic sentiments would return to haunt him if he ever seeks to be a political player at the national level?” That was prophetic. This doesn’t make Obi any worse than his opponents. But because he could be president, we should interrogate him so we won’t be blindsided". The above allegations/questions should and must be urgently addressed by Peter Obi. Because the presidential seat is too country-unifying to be occupied by someone who is biased and has little regard for law and fairness. As for those that would say "nobody is perfect" as such he should be excused, especially because alternatives seem worse should be reminded that old habits die hard. If he gets away with them, he will likely do worst if elected, as being done by president Buhari. #Thanks Farooq A. Kperogi, and the poster! It's a worthy read. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Foreign Affairs / Re: The Carolean age, money & stamps: What changes with the Queens death? by Scientheosopher(m): 11:11pm On Sep 09, 2022 |
Kingpele:You made lots of unthought through points, so I want to help you have a rethink, if you wish, with the following: An evil dead is mocked so that an evil living may repent, thereby reducing suffering—the meaning in Life. The evil deeds of the dead echos till the end of time. But admitting wrong/apologising will reduce the force of the echo. Dying in old age is not a definitive proof of God's grace. The bad ages, too. Perhaps, God was giving him/her time to repent. You know nothing about the judgement of the Lord Almighty! The same Almighty, according to Jesus, that will burn sinners in Hell, forever? No. Judgement belongs to firstly, Man and then God. It's why He gave the brain, and our judgements here, if successful, will ease His works over there. #A person that didn't respect his/her -self while alive shouldn't be respected when dead, because it signals to its living kinds that they can go free with their evil acts. 1 Like |

Business / Re: Why Can't The CBN Just Print More Money? by Scientheosopher(m): 6:12pm On Sep 04, 2022 |
Print more money; lend it to manufacturing companies that would employ workers thereby reducing unemployment; and the regulation of price by govt. Hmm. While it reads like socialism, it's a reasonable measure. However, regulation is the main problem; and we have the agencies as you pointed out but they are performing below expectations. Govt being govt, they will probably get slack along the way as usual. This would make companies try to raise price, defeating the initial plan. (It should be noted that companies are largely driven by profit. When govt control prices directly and tightly as it would happen in this situation, companies don't feel comfortable because they don't make as much gain if the reverse is the case. Consequently, they will reduce, if not stop, production). A major problem that's hurting the economy is that our govt don't like buying local goods. How many govt officials uses Innoson motors or eat rivers' rice? So for this to work, govt need to start buying internally manufactured goods however low in quality they may be and pressure makers to improve quality. That said, instead of printing more money, I suggest lending from the ones already present to companies. This would remove printing costs, which would inturn reduce govt's non-job creation expenditure that is usually a cause of inflation. And more importantly, the loans should be of low interest rate so that they can easily be paid. 1 Like |
