I don't blame you. Education is an investment but if you went to school and you didn't go through school, that is no fault of mine. To write well is an anomaly for you guys that AI is your alternative. Writing is a form of education and if that bothers you so much that you are so lazy to write well, congratulations on your education 🤡

Did you listen to the Minister when he said it was a disgruntled officer who was not happy with the promotion process that scouted for others to join him? Okay, let me help you. I hope you watch before responding

I find it annoying. The moment I notice an article is AI-generated, I just skim through it rather than taking the time to immerse myself and enjoy the reading experience. The writing always comes across as 'mechanical' and there is a lack of nuance and subtlety.

They say these AIs are going take away the jobs of writers and other people in the creative industry but from what I've seen they have a long way to go. Shey na ChatGPT wey dey gbagaun on top simple question? They can be prolific but they will never match the quality and depth of human creativity.

Every writer has a unique style, which sets them apart. Not these AI articles though, they all read the same. So generic and unoriginal.
AI can never have creative license, which humans have.
Politics › Re: I Was One Of The Targets Of The Failed Coup, I Was Meant To Be Shot - CG MUSA by SixSeven: 11:53pm On Feb 01
With the way this government has handled the information around this coup, first from the early denial 3 months and scaring the press for irresponsible journalism and unpatriotism to now admitting that there was a coup attempt without any apology that they lied, you cannot tell me that the reason for the delay is nothing but POLITICS.

A government of propaganda is always concerned about their image and they do this with the way they manage information. It's such a disgrace and a red card because what they have done is proof that the government cannot be trusted.

Do not forget that President Tinubu did attempt a controversial "special presidential promotion" for his Aide-de-Camp (ADC),
Colonel Nurudeen Alowonle Yusuf, in December 2025.

The apparent contradiction can be explained by three main factors:

1. Strategic Misdirection and False Flag (October 2025): When the plot was first foiled in late September, the military and Presidency denied the coup rumors to prevent panic and deter copycat attempts. They publicly reclassified the arrests of 16 officers as "routine disciplinary actions" for career stagnation and exams.

2. The ADC Promotion Logic (December 2025): The attempt to promote Colonel Yusuf just two months later was actually tied to the coup climate. The Presidency's formal reason was "rank parity" with other Villa security chiefs, but analysts suggest it was an attempt to solidify the loyalty of the President's immediate inner circle. Promoting his most trusted personal guard was seen as a way to ensure a "last line of defense" after a major betrayal within the wider military.

3. The Admission (January 2026): The government only admitted the truth once the investigation was complete and the legal process for a court-martial was ready. This delayed confirmation allowed them to secure the administration and reshuffle top military brass, including moving General CG Musa to his current role as Minister of Defence before the public admission.

The government prioritized stability through denial in October, attempted to build a "fortress" of loyalists in December, and finally felt secure enough to be transparent in January. In short, the government lied through the seasons. Happy New Year folks.
Politics › Re: Who Would You Vote Among These Presidential Candidates If Presented And Why? by SixSeven:
Nigerians need someone to reset their moral consciousness and someone to be proud of when you see him in international fora. At this age, I am not deceived by any politician. After all, we have seen the worst, how bad can it be anymore? One of the criteria I saw was that our moral psyche is so bad, we need someone who can help reset it with the words they say, even if they are pretending. The last person that had that was Buhari and the propaganda packaging of the new sheriff in town in early 2015 but you can't pretend for so long. The robes came off quickly and those who questioned Nigerians were right. A leopard cannot change his spots. The way he didn't talk to you during campaign, he bloddy well didn't talk to you in his 8 years. The next person was Osinbajo until they asked who is the Presidency but you saw it in the few days he was in power. I also watched his actions, one of the few things he did was to use a Nigerian hospital when he had that accident and he showed leadership by example. Those little things matter in the scheme of things because leaders inspire, the people watch what they do.

We need someone who, when he talks, you want to listen. We need someone who displays good character even in politics, someone who is careful with the choice of words he uses and does not abuse his opponents. Someone who you can point to good examples of in character and speech. Not someone you are not sure how they will manage him in the public. Not someone who doesn't like to talk to his people and go through aides. Not someone who wants all the luxuries of this world but stay far away from the common man so they can never empathise with you. Not someone who does not inspire. Not someone who feels like a god. Not someone you cannot tell your child to emulate because you don't know their virtues or character, you only know buzz words and slogans. Not someone whose family, school and work history is shrouded in controversy. Not someone who has certificate issues. Not someone who's not bothered about the process that makes him president but just wants to be announced winner. You see these little things, they matter in the long run because they say children don't listen to you, they watch you. You can't tell your child that these are my values and you can't show them in 3D. Many of the politicians and their PR people lack integrity, that's why they boast often with power. It's all about the end result, not the process but God is wonderful, you finally have power but you can't use it 😂 You can't give what you don't have.

Celebrities › Re: Funke Akindele Attacks Kunle Afolayan Over Cinema Profit Comments by SixSeven: 11:48am On Feb 01
seunmsg:
I watched Kunle Afolayan’s interview and I found nothing in what he said that should warrant this kind of pushback. In fact, it was more of kudos to Funke and others who have the energy to be promoting their movies through dances and skits.
It's this part that likely elicited the response:


He said: “I don’t know how the likes of Funke Akindele and others are doing it — creating skits every day, changing costumes all the time.
Celebrities › Re: Funke Akindele Attacks Kunle Afolayan Over Cinema Profit Comments by SixSeven: 11:37am On Feb 01
Afolayan had earlier said he would only fully return to cinema releases if filmmakers were no longer required to engage in exhausting promotional activities, including frequent social media dances, to sell their movies.


I totally agree with him. In fact, this is what made Bovi do in-person shows. He too said that he already has the craft, he has the product, those wey wan come and know the deal will come, he won't succumb to social media ridicule of this generation turning him to something else. That's why he went to Benin, Lagos and did his shows and said he won't do those crazy promotions online just to sell his tickets. If you notice, his show is so different, it doesn't have those insults, DJ mixes and noise the other comedians use to steal time and your money. Will people still go to those shows? Yes but the sky is big for everyone and that's what Kunle wrote in that proverb. Bovi further said he wanted to appreciate his original fans and removed those oppressive tables we use to extort ourselves in these comedy shows.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsciLgc2i8Y


Afolayan is from the TK School of Works so I am not surprised with his mature comments. After some years, the work that was done for the art will speak louder than the work that was done for the fart money. Art is long, life is short.

Keep building your legacy Kunle. From the interviews I have watched of him and read, he understands the business angle of this industry and this last line means a lot if you want to put respect on your name and get your work's worth:

Speaking at the Watch Party of his Netflix series: “Aníkúlápó: The Ghouls Awaken,” he said: “I don’t want N2 billion streams at the cinemas and end up receiving N10 million.”Online TV streaming services

Guys don't forget that Dangote challenged the oil regulator boss to show Nigerians how he pays for his kids schooling in Switzerland private schools! Those kind of children, do you think they will work a minimum wage job and be okay? Never. Their parents have already corrupted their OS from foundation. That's why they all want their kids to join CBN, NNPC, FIRS and where all the cookie jars are but leave you all to work for NIS, Nigerian Army and Police, places they have neglected and destroyed for the common man.

God bless our first Republic premiers who did not abuse office and had enough sense to build institutions that will outshine them and outlast them when they leave office. That's what they call legacy. That's why I can never be convinced by these guys who try to paint Tinubu as what he is not. FGS, he is a public servant. You can't make this up.

There were leaders before him, there was LKJ before him. There was Raji Rasaki, there was Marwa. None of them claimed they built Lagos but we know the work they did. Since 2003, they were talking about 4th mainland bridge, Fash no waste time to build Lekki Link bridge. Even if it's not the same, if you want to show governance, you will. There's no need for stories. They are all lies. Leave Lagos alone, what about Ogun, what about Enugu, what about Katsina? All our governors are so irresponsible, they want us to thank them for doing their work. I smh when I see our governors doing local government work and bragging about it. Look at Soludo challenging markets. Work OF LG chair undecided

These elites in public service should all be taken and flogged in the public square. After they steal, what do they do? They foolishly buy houses abroad, send their children abroad and build economies outside. They are so insecure, they can't afford to see their people living life in a normal way. They want you to be bambiala for them. That's why they are scared of us asking them questions. They want to distract you and I and take your dignity away so you can worship them.

Don't forget he keeps singing that on his mandate he shall stand and makes everyone sing it. If he had the opportunity, he probably would have changed it to that tune as it is more popular than the anthem. Let's see how he stands on it.

Number 1 was June 12, 2024

Number 2 was this one in Turkey

Number 3 may be coming and it's not a curse. He said it with his own mouth. We are told Tinubu went for a knee surgery, we have no idea maybe it got worse from the June 12 fall but this time in Turkey he fell on his head. Tinubu underwent knee surgery in London in 2021, before the 2023 presidential campaign, long before he fell at the Democracy Day parade in 2024. His knee issues have been attributed to chronic problems such as arthritis, and aides have explained that the surgery and recovery affected his gait and mobility.
