They don't understand the fundamentals and that's why the outcome of their flowery analysis is always wrong grin.

Politics is about personal interests, while government is about people.

We need to get the difference rightly.

Christistruth02:
As things are now Alaafin needs to go to Ile Ife to mend the matter
And Modakeke are in excellent position to be the peacemakers and peacekeepers
Of the situation and explain the History the new Alaafin doesn’t fully understand enough to him

Ooni is the Father of all Yoruba Kings


Below is the 1971 Photo of Ooni Aderemi presenting Alaafin Adeyemi with letter of right to the Oyo Throne
Maybe Modakekes can do that but it’s historically documented that Modakekes did worse by chasing Ife people and Ooni out of Ife to the bush for 13 good years.

The bigger question is why we are trying to resuscitate roles and authorities that are long dead and replaced by government? Even Ooni had to get politicized in the first republic for that specific purpose.

EducationRe: The Great Betrayal: How Nigeria Is Setting Its Students Up To Fail by Shikena(m): 3:09pm On May 09, 2025
That's sad. Our mindset should have fully shifted away from viewing higher degrees as automatic employment license, it has never been for over 30 years.

We need a well educated population and this should not be limited. However,
JAMB standard must never be lowered. Rather, it is our high school curriculum/standard that must be raised including WAEC or the other unnecessary joke called NECO.


budaatum:
The gulf between WASCE and Jamb is like between O'levels and discontinued A'levels, and has been in place since the later was scrapped, unfortunately. But Nigeria is simply using it to limit graduates, since no work is found for most.

Wise parents are ensuring their children learn skills from like 12 years old. Just thought I'd say.

CrimeRe: 77-Year-Old Nigerian Uber Driver, Olatunji Bolaji, Shot Dead In US by Shikena(m):
Alright, listen up, my fellow Nigerians abroad. May the soul of this person rest in peace. Maybe he isn't Nigerian in the strict sense (African Americans pick up Nigerian names to identify with their root), maybe he is – it doesn't matter. What matters is that you need to read threads like this and borrow some real sense for yourselves.

Most of you are grinding away, working hard in whatever country you're in. You have everything you need to potentially set yourselves up for a comfortable, wonderful old age, assuming life grants you that grace. But what are you actually doing with your prime, productive years? You're pouring your energy and, crucially, your money back home, supporting an endless list of people and problems. And let's be honest about the thanks you get – sometimes the very children of the families you've bent over backwards to help are the ones online taking jabs at the diaspora.

You need to face yourself. Focus on your children, right where you are. Let them live like their friends, enjoy the opportunities available in your current location. You have to stop sending every single extra dollar or euro home. It's a hard pill to swallow, but outside your immediate family, nobody truly gives a damn about your sacrifices in the long run.

Just this year, 2025, we've already had to rally donations to support at least six of my old high school classmates back in Nigeria. And where did the bulk of that money come from? Saner climate people! From what you read online, you'd think these folks are destitute, but often, they could manage if they absolutely had to rearrange their priorities. We keep warning you about this misplaced financial devotion, but many just won't listen. It’s strange, I know, our culture values helping, but the harsh reality is that sometimes, helpers end up being resented. It makes no sense, but it happens. You must focus on your personal life and build your own future.

And for those of you specifically in America – living in Illinois, California, Texas, New York, Massachusetts, MD, DC, Georgia or anywhere else across the States: Pay attention! If you have not, go to fidelity.com, Charles Schwab, Vanguard, whatever, and get your financial house in order now. Set up your IRA – Roth or Traditional. Set up other investment accounts. Do you realize that every single year you fail to max out that IRA contribution, you are losing out on a significant amount of untaxed growth? That translates to real money you won't have in retirement. We're talking potentially an extra $1,500 a month, maybe even more, that could be yours in addition to your Social Security check, your 401k distributions, or your government pension if you have one.

If you trust the Nigerian system, there are good options out there for steady growth investment as well with FGN bond, Stanbic MMF and many others. I know of many regular folks who have grown their accounts from zero to earning N50k-100k upwards every month (a N15m investment - $10k - gives you about N250k monthly, and you can keep reinvesting that dividend to constantly grow your capital), no employee drama, no physical asset/rent/maintenance, no constant back and forth asking for explanations on the phone everyday on business dealings. These are 16%-20% annual returns investment, which is not bad.

Stop delaying. Stop making excuses. Prioritize yourself and your immediate family's future today. Build your foundation where you live and work.
