Chinese did that. It worked, for a generation or two, then the demographic laws showed them that they don't play.

China has an aging populaiton, and large populations of men that would never get married because no women for them.

What we nigerians need to do is to support policies that make us an industrialized nation

You did not tell them about the many Chinese that left the country because of that policy. The ones that wanted to have more than one child migrated.

That he did does not make him less of a crook.

Yes our leaders are very evil.and won't resign for their crimes

But Nixon is a crook.

Is the quote wrong because the speaker was eventually caught? There is no individual who I will quote that no one will not have a contrary opinion of the person's life. Even when I quote Awo, some people do not hold him in high regard. If I quote Achebe or Bello. The message is more important to me. I am not going to die on anyone's hill. I de quote Tinubu sef wey I no send if the message apply, I de quote am but good to quote the irony of Nixon's speech. At least, justice was done. Let us see that happening in Nigeria.

nairalanda1:
Still does not change what he did that forced him to resign.

He was a crook. By American standards , he committed egregious violations of their laws.

Note that we are not talking about his financial affairs here and he was not referring to his finances or to looting when he made that quote that he used.

Good. He put his neck out, can we say this of those in power today? If they have nothing to hide, I dare them to say the same thing Nixon said and let's investigate. How about that?

Racoon:
For goodness sake don't rationalize something that is not morally acceptable.

It's power control. The young people should ń learn from this story. Those in authority in Nigeria often do power play. If the young man wanted anything, he has already weakened him with that seating arrangement. They know what they are doing.

Parents, teach your children how to behave in this dog eat dog world.

They should just dead the matter and let it go. It wasn't proper thing to do.
Why didn't the man stand up for the young man if he really wanted to accommodate everyone? After all, don't they claim they want to serve us? 🤡

Let him ask himself, when he was at that boy's age, wouldn't he have felt humiliated if another man sat him on his lap? C'mon! Let's stop this nonsense. I'm not even thinking of agege or sexual innuendos. I am more concerned about the decency of people, how do you dignify someone else says a lot about you.

nairalanda1:
Nixon was actually a crook .

He authorised government agents to spy on his political opponents. That is what got him into trobule.

One thing he did was to ask one of his subordinates to obtain and expose the medical records of a critic and whistleblower of his administration. His medical records as pertaining to his psychiatric health. You do not do that by American law at all at all. The subordinate went to jail.for doing that.

As did a lot of people.who.carried out his orders.

Nixon himself was forced to resign because he was facing impeachment and his own party members in Congress were ready to support an impeachment motion against him. A day before he resigned he was visited by three top politicans from his party ( including future US president George Bush, father of future president George W. Bush) and informed that hehad losr support in his party . He took the hint and resigned. If not that he was pardoned , he would have gone to jail too.

"On November 17, 1973, President Richard Nixon told 400 Associated Press managing editors that he had not profited from public service. "I have earned every cent. And in all of my years in public life I have never obstructed justice. People have got to know whether or not their president is a crook. Well, I'm not a crook," he declared.

On April 3, 1974, the White House announced that Nixon would pay $432,787.13 in back taxes plus interest after an investigation by the Internal Revenue Service and a congressional committee. Among Nixon's benefits to himself were improvements in his properties, supposedly necessary for his protection. These included a security ice maker, a security swimming pool heater, security club chairs and table lamps, security sofa and security pillows."

PresidentAtiku:
Omor see the kind of embarrassing matter we discussing about the number one citizen of a country

Drug issues

Our own don finish as a country

😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

A good name is forever golden

Let me use this platform to remind us of the process.

The election process is like this:
1. You register to vote.
2. You get your PVC
3. Before election day, you see your name Ong the list of registered voters
4. On election day, you register to vote (this is called accreditation) where the PO confirms that you are on the list of registered voters and it is not someone else
5. You cast your ballot secretly.
6. The PO counts the votes, that is, ALL the paper you voted for, then announces and writes the results.
This is where Nigerians want the results to be electronically transmitted.
7. This result is announced and a copy normally should be posted for you at your PU
8. The PO takes the counted result that was signed by the party agents and herself to the collation centre

This is where Nigerians saw the magomago. This is why you see the APC guys boast of polling agents. We should be ashamed of ourselves that we need too many people to count votes in 2026. Let me not distract from my essay. Check the quoted post I have below.

There are two collation centres. There's ward collation centre and state collation centre. It is at these places counting magic happens. You see all those things the Professors do on TV? They are only counting LG results for each state. They are also checking if there were any other electoral issues that can lead to some results not counted or cancelled.

What INEC promised at the last election is that with Irev you can see your PU result live. You can even audit the election result for each ward and do your own counting for the LG. But the APC and their abracadabra manipulated your result. So while you were counting after step 5, they saw the live results, did their own counting and gave you the figures they wanted. That's why INEC announced results of the election at night. That's where you saw numbers changed at Irev portal. If party A had 12, they put 6 in front of it and made it 612. That is why the Irev portal had glitch. The glitch was the fraudulent excuse to tamper with the result, change it and have their own numbers. They had to delay the loading to iRev portal so you won't be able to dispute the results. Only a thief at night steals it, snatches it and runs away with it to announce that the white they stole at nibjt is now Ariel clean in the morning.

With electronic transmission, Nigeria will reduce massively how much money we spend on elections. Our elections are only expensive because people simply want to cheat, QED! It's a bloody waste of time recruiting so many people just to count numbers, shey we no de shame? Chai


For those of them that bring that useless video of Elon Musk not trusting electronic voting, please read below. They intentionally omitted the part where US does not conduct its election like ours. They work on trust because from birth you already have an ID and government knows when you turn 18.

SixSeven:
They should even pity the fasting Muslims and Christians and allow them vote from their phones. After all, the same people can vote Big Brother and there is no transmission error. When it is bad things, they will be giving us examples of bad things in USA, showing us Elon Musk videos. When it's good things we can copy from USA, they hide. USA that does not have voter registration or PVC card for every voter, the system sends it to your address because of government data, they skip the process and want to put a wool over our eyes.

The US election has been compromised because there is no registration or accreditation.Nigeria has voter ID, America does not have. We used those because of fraud after seeing Mike Tyson voting in previous elections. We should be leading and the world should be copying us but they want us to remain in level Zero for long 🤡

Nigeria will close its borders, close work just to count numbers. Something that should not be so in 21st century if not for fraud and manipulation magomago dem wan do. It's a big shame that adults cannot count numbers Na professor go de count numbers. Agbaya people. Simple thing, dem turn am to billions. Big disgrace.

Just as Atiku and Amaechi brought down their party to introduce APC to us in 2014, that's how they will bring down their friends whose company we are no longer interested in. Let them kick out APC for us. Thank you for your assistance.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8iPDlK7s9zc

E de pain Atiku say despite destroying his party to bring APC to power, his friend, Bola got there before him that has been trying since.

E de pain Amaechi say despite destroying his party and sacrificing his state for APC in 2014 - 15, the party still did not select him in the 2022 primaries, instead they went for Bola.

When they are benefitting, they are all friends, when they are not, they become enemies. Don't die in their war.

PDP, Jonathan have failed Nigerians, says Tinubu

ACN leader lashes govt on economy, security
President Goodluck Jonathan’s administration is confused about how to tackle Nigeria’s challenges, especially poverty and insecurity, a leader of the newly-formed All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has said.

He said the Federal Government promised peace and security, but under its “unwatchful eye” insecurity has grown and Boko Haram “has turned large tracts of northern Nigeria into no man’s land”.


But, a bright future, he said, is on the horizon as the APC, which he called “the government in-waiting”, would rescue Nigeria from its confused state.


“As leaders of the new party and government in-waiting, we intend to pursue dynamic, time-tested and bold policies that will liberate our people by making sure our wealth works for us,” Tinubu said.

Nigerians, said Tinubu, have become increasingly divided as a people because the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) government continues to take faulty steps in addressing poverty and injustice.

“They have ignored the cause and gone after the symptoms,” the former Lagos State Governor told a packed audience inside the Grand Committee Ballroom, Westminster Hall, House of Parliament, London on Monday. He identified failed policies on power, employment, economy and security as evidence of bad leadership.


Tinubu, the keynote speaker at the British African Diaspora Conference, spoke on “Leadership, national development and the people”.

He urged the Federal Government to apply a consistent policy of targeted law enforcement operations along with an active programme of economic development, negotiations and potential amnesty for penitent Boko Haram members.

He said rather than take this step, the nation has been treated to series of government inaction and indiscriminate use of force, which culminated in the declaration of a state of emergency in three states.


“The Jonathan government set up a special Committee on Boko Haram and Security matters, but sadly before they could perform, he declared State of Emergency in three Northern states: Yobe, Borno and Adamawa.

“This is symptomatic of a confused leadership. If there is security in this jumbled policy, neither I nor the majority of Nigerians can find it!”

To the fomer Lagos governor, if Nigeria is to mature as a democracy, its electoral system must be improved. He decried the fact that those who control the system manipulate elections with such impunity that they now see misconduct without sanction as a normal way of life.


Said he: “Look at the recent controversy surrounding election of the Nigerian Governors Forum (NGF) chairman… A group comprising all the nations’ governors could not even conduct a simple 35-person election without a disputed outcome.

“With this recent experience, I fear the length those in power would go and the means they would employ to manipulate results when the battleground is the entire nation and the stakes are the general elections in 2015.

“The NGF debacle symbolises a disdain for democracy and the popular will. If we are to save Nigeria, we must rescue the electoral process from its abusers,” Tinubu said.

In his view, a great philosophical gulf separates the government from the progressives. “This current Nigerian government is a retrogressive one. Much of what they claim as growth is but the harsh redistribution of wealth from the bottom to the top. The bottom gets squeezed while the top expands. They are serving us the salad of corruption.

“They consume our today and squander the nation’s tomorrow. For 14 years, the PDP-led government cannot turn anything around. A new leadership is required to put a stop to this.”

Tinubu criticised Nigeria’s economic policies, saying the economy is being reconstructed “as an oasis for a small few and a stark desert for the many” while the government pretends to endorse the same budget-cutting austerity policies as much of Europe.

“We are not Europe; we are a Third World economy. That these policies have failed in European nations with higher standards of living than Nigeria gives our leaders no concern.”

Tinubu said the people live in dire straits, yet the government would rather waste the money than spend it on public benefit because they do not believe the people deserve it.

He said the progressives would bring pragmatic solution to the country’s woes because in their approach to the political economy, they do not rely on textbook answers as they do not “live in textbooks.

He said: “We live in the real world and thus seek answers from real world experiences. Here is a real world fact: No large nation has ever attained sustained growth without government running budget deficits to build the required infrastructure and without other government policies promoting development of the key industries that would become the spine of national development.

“Here is another such fact: No populous nation ever attains prosperity solely by extracting its raw material to exchange them for the finished goods of other large nations. We must industrialise and diversify our economy

“It is for this reason – to save the nation from the stranglehold of permanent poverty and poor governance – that the members of the progressive opposition political parties have decided to put aside personal ambition (including my own ambition) to form a new party, the All Progressives Congress (APC). We do this because Nigeria has entered a critical state of economic depression.”

According to Tinubu, because of the unfair nature of the electoral processes and the gross imbalance of its political economy, the people have been props in a drama for which they should have been the main characters. “We must change this,” he said.

He said the progressives must move Nigeria away from a place where the whims and narrow wishes of self-centered reactionary elite dictate the fate of over 150 million people.

“On our side, we will take our chances with a free and fair election, for we shall offer the people an innovative programme consisting of a national industrial policy that includes radical infrastructural development and employment targets,” he said.

The former Lagos governor spoke of “the Glorious Nigerian Revolution”, which he said has nothing to do with force of arms.

His words: “The Revolution of which I speak has two major parts. First, is the peaceful conversion of our quasi-democracy into a full-fledged one. Second, is the implementation of policies turning the political economy away from its retrogressive, elitist bearings.

“We seek policies pointing in a progressive direction affording the average person a chance at a dignified life. This will be through the provision of gainful employment, quality education and essential social services for those who need the helping hand of government to survive.

“I see no shame in believing progressive government can improve the political economy and the lives of the people.”

EVOLVE

Technology will always need us, not the other way round. It will take some jobs but it will always create new jobs.

There was a time the typists protested against the computer keyboard. In fact, I think something that will affect us in the future is the discipline of the 40s to 70s. Imagine learning shorthand just to type. Some people don't even know what shorthand is. Do we need that to type today? No

But children born with the keypad think that's where typing started from. In the process, they can never learn the art of typing, it's useless to them but technology was built on that. That's what AI is doing, it will ake some of the things we know but it can never bear human intelligence. Back to my statement about keyboards. So Gen Alpha, rather than learning how to type now have speech to text and many technologies that they can't
1. Write properly
2. Think of how to think without the machine. Their own way of googling is so bad because the technology is not for research, it's to help the companies. Search engines now are so bad that it's slop.

I have many things to write but I don't have time. Sorry for the interruption.

Make it sound human...

First, give Atiku some respect by spelling his name with a capital letter A, not "atiku".

Second, if Nigerians are not 200 million mumu, the person who wants the job should be speaking. If the press is not careful, these guys will relegate your role. They are already doing it small small. The media must insist that only the candidates speak, stop using spokesmen who we are not voting for. Once bitten, twice shy? Buhari didn't need to talk to us, Tinubu is already following the same thing and you think they will change? This same Tinubu that used to attend his own colloquium, write essays and speak to the press when he was outside, he has all of a sudden stopped talking. They know what they are doing, do we know what we are doing?

Stop distracting us. Let us do what NBA did, bring a panel of discussion, let them debate, invite VDM or any one who the society will debate about but they will say the truth, raw and unfiltered. One thing education does to us is that it teaches us how to lie. VDM may have said some unpolished things, I don't even fancy him but I noticed that he made us start speaking to the issues. Let us start that now till February. We don't have time anymore. Let Atiku and Tinubu not attend debates while the ones that want to talk to us start talking. After all, Tinubu only talked to the country once during his tenure so far. Let them behave like they really want this job rather than then thinking they are kings.

Senator Sharafadeen Alli Lapping, Caressing Male Journalist (Video) - Politics - Nairaland

It's still on the OP's post

Previous thread https://www.nairaland.com/8740367/senator-sharafadeen-alli-lapping-caressing

My own take is why do people like unnecessary controversy. Didn't the man know that once this video gets to the public that it will spark outrage? The many people in the video were busy laughing and none could tell him the possible outcome of him lapping a journalist that's if he doesn't know? The camera crew were busy doing their thing.

---

Lapping is a wrong word to use even though I know what it means. On what mandate is the young man sitting on?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocJ2f1wd4O0

Lap is strictly a noun when referring to the body part (e.g., "Sit on my lap". It is a functional body part rather than an anatomical one. Standard dictionaries do not recognize "lap" or "lapping" as a verb for the action of sitting on someone else's lap.

Thank you for lapping up this post English is not my father's tongue 😝

The womanhood journey is a strange one. Women eventually want to have children, even the ones you think are in the modern world and don't need a man, family or children.

It's not a funny journey at all and everyone has found out that when you are desperate, you are vulnerable. This is to those seeking a child and any other matters you are desperate in. Relax. It will come

Only in Africa and parts of Asia that people still give birth. They have tried to throw in contraception but it doesn't work. Look at what she said, she wants to buy a house, property, things. She doesn't want to be a mother. They have succeeded in giving them 'rights' to say my body, my choice. I didn't come to earth to be a mother. Now they have fertility crisis and the cost of giving birth is not just expensive, the cost of living is so expensive that OF is the best alternative. She didn't mention children or anything like that because of she had any maternal instinct in her, she would know which has more honour and why prostitution is not the best option. What child will be happy to see his mom a pro? This is why you need to monitor women. I used to think it was absurd, but the older I get, I understand why there was always a reign on women, or else, they will destroy society completely. They give birth to the world, that's why men had to put some reign in our society was working.

Women are joining the work force to be like men and that is more effective than contraception. Deceive her with the career, tell her she can store her eggs, tell her there is IVF, waste her best years of fertility and when there is a crisis, sell medical solutions to them.

Once you are able to convince women that they don't need to carry a baby, the deal is done. Now they want us to be using science to have babies, sleeping with dolls and selling us all kind of solutions when God gave us free.
Don't take everything from the West, you're just a commodity to them.

You may have no children throughout your life
You may continue to miscarry and never birth
You may have children and none of them die
You may have children and some of them die during birth
You may have children and some of them die in their young years
You may have children and some of them die in their adult life

Nothing is guaranteed. Be a good human.

@SixSeven, well said, you weren't blabbing.
Lagos State is a perfect example of a place where town planning laws and facilities management were NEVER fully adhered to with the exception of a few locations. The well-planned Lakowe Lakes Golf Estate on the Lekki Peninsula is quite okay though [and was constructed with blending nature and housing in mind just like Ayi Mensah Park and Oyarifa Park in Accra]. Stricter gentrifications can be made to restore many areas of Lagos State though.

For folks like me who are avid readers, I watched all the videos you uploaded here. As a follower of some international travel YouTubers such as the U.S.-based British-Nigerian, Jubril Agoro who owns Passport Heavy, Tayo Aina, Wode Maya, and more, the video on Sultan [the Turkish tallest man in the world] resonated with me due to the wide construction of his family's living rooms where folks can sleep [and collectively eat Turkish cuisines from the same wide food trays] on the rugged floor like the Hausa folks also do, hence living a minimalist life.

My biological father is an octogenarian, so, reading this thread reminded me of the importance of getting functional housing and bathroom safety features. Many elderly folks worldwide have indeed slipped and/or passed on from head injuries while in their bathrooms, hence the need to get safety foot mats for them, and like you rightly emphasized in your posts here, build houses that are tailored to the African weather and environment.

Last but not least, stabilized laterite bricks technology which I've known about since the late 1990s is an advanced form of the mud houses our forebears used on the continent to cool their houses. Hydraform or laterite bricks are cheaper to build with than with cement blocks, need no joint mortars, are cooler, bullet-proof and earthquake-resistant.

Enjoy the rest of your day!

I wasn't going to respond but your last paragraph reminded me of another western invention that didn't suit us well! The latrines!!!!

The Japanese have their own and are proud of it

The Indians are proud of the pit latrines. We look down on it but recently I was reading all these doctors giving a research about it. Now guess what they are now saying? Elevating your feet on a small stool while using a Western toilet helps straighten your colon and relax your pelvic floor for easier bowel movements.

The more we learn.... Have a nice day too

This fellow is not important to us here. Stop distracting us. Let us do what NBA did, bring a panel of discussion, let them debate, invite VDM or any one who the society will debate about but they will say the truth, raw and unfiltered. One thing education does to us is that it teaches us how to lie. VDM may have said some unpolished things, I don't even fancy him but I noticed that he made us start speaking to the issues. Let us start that now till February. We don't have time anymore. Let Atiku and Tinubu not attend debates while the ones that want to talk to us start talking. After all, Tinubu only talked to the country once during his tenure so far I don't care about Van Persie, Van Damme or whoever the hell is this guy

AlphaTaikun:
Insights from the videos. This thread is very informative and a reminder to do the needful.

Share your own insights please sir

We want to learn. I didn't finish writing yesterday but I just saw this mention now and it reminded me that I forgot to update the post. What lessons have you learned or I'm just blabbing around?

As a people, we have failed to follow town planning and maintain historical sites. We don't even keep to our own codes, some areas don't need high rise, some areas are for communities etc, we just do everything yam pepper scatter scatter, then complain later
