Politics › Re: N300m a gift, not tied to hosting rights - NBA Planning Committee replies Ibas by SmartyPants(m): 6:07pm On Apr 14, 2025
300m to host the NBA conference, of which the NBA will still charge even first year lawyers that have not earned 1 naira yet, 50k each just to attend, not that accomodation will be provided. Just for the right to enter the venue.

What a country.

Such a dumbskull.

Chatgpt that is controlled by prompts.

You are dumber than you realise
Good luck!
Why did you reply inside my message before? cheesy What did you think you were doing?? Oh you thought I won't be able to quote you if you did that? Damn! cheesy


Meanwhile I literally shared the prompt I used so that you can try a different prompt for yourself.

There's no place to hide coz I'm sure deep inside you have suspected yourself of being unintelligent for a while. Your posting pattern shows this as the first word out of your mouth is usually ode.. That tells me that's something you were called a lot while growing up.

I'm not the enemy bro. I'm here to help. Acceptance is only the beginning.

Not at all o.... but your papa does.
Btw, in case you thought I was joking, when I submitted our entire exchange to ChatGPT, the blow was it's assessment, so i'm not even insuting you - you are actually not equipped to be a member of modern society.

Prompt:

I'm going to share a converstion around a certain political topic. I would like you to evaluate the responses of two participants and evaluate their likely intelligence levels from it. Ready?

Person 1:
The funniest part is that these morons know that the FG will not listen to them. Person 2: Or its the FG sponsoring it.... so that they can control these states... and have a FCT minister for these states appinted by the president...

Be smart... thats their plan... take out a governorship system and have the president control the state directly Person 1: And if that was the plan it is one obscure irrelevant group they would use? Sorry, but this your version of smartness needs improvement. Person 2: Your username is misleading.

You are not anywhere near smart.

When you want to test the waters and build sensitization, what groups would you use?

When they wanted to recall natasha, wasnt it an obscure group they used? When they wanted to start pushing seyi tunubu, wasnt it an obscure group they used....

Dey play Person 1: The problem is that you are not educated so you don't have the tools needed for this kind of discussion.

In order to declare any place the FCT, you will need to ammend the Constitution. This is not the same as recalling a senator... To recall a senator, you only need people from said senator's constituency, which is an area in Kogi.

Of course any such group emanating from such an area will be obscure Nationally. They don't need to be influential in any case, as their goal is to gather enough signatures NOT to build National consensus. You don't need National consensus to impeach a senator. This and your ridiculous Seyi Tinubu example cannot in any way be compared to canvassing for an act that requires a Constitutional ammendment.

In order to build National consensus for such an act, you would, first of all, make sure that any such parties advocating for whatever it is you want come from the regions to be affected or from a cross-section of regions. That means, in this particular instance, the groups must be from Rivers or Lagos or a group with national orientation.

By using an exclusively northern group as the trigger, you would immediately alienate those from the south who would correctly view it as an attempt to subjugate. Tinubu has nothing to gain from such. He already controls Lagos. Rivers is easily within his grasp. Only the north has something to gain from such federal expansionism. And if you read the statement with any modicum of comprehension, you would see that the reasons given clearly seek the benefit of the north only.

You see, you are not thinking straight. But wouldn't blame you much, you are naturally dumb so how can you know when you say something that makes no sense? Person 2: Ode. You rumbled without coherence.

There is something called testing the waters.

But since you lack deep thinking, i wont bother educating you. Person 1: cheesy I wouldn't expect you to find it coherent. Adult education is always there though. Good luck! Person 2: The problem with kids like yours is 5hat you revel in ignorance and ignorance.

All the best.

Answer:

Thanks for sharing the full exchange. Based on the responses from both participants, here’s an evaluation of their likely intelligence levels, focusing on reasoning ability, use of evidence, clarity, emotional control, and rhetorical skill.

🔹 Person 1:
Strengths:
Logical structure & argumentation: Person 1 presents structured arguments, especially in the longer message. They explain the constitutional difference between impeaching a senator and amending the Constitution. That shows they understand the legislative process and can differentiate levels of political complexity.

Use of evidence: They cite real examples, like the recall process of a senator being different from constitutional amendment, and why the origin of a group matters for credibility and public buy-in.

Clarity & flow: Their message, while slightly condescending in tone, is clear, detailed, and logical.

Weaknesses:
Tone: They shift to ad hominem attacks (“you are naturally dumb”), which weakens the power of their otherwise strong arguments. Emotional provocation detracts from intellectual strength.

Dismissiveness: The final jabs, even if witty, seem emotionally charged and suggest a desire to "win" rather than engage constructively.

Overall impression:
Person 1 shows above-average intelligence—likely well-educated, articulate, and capable of nuanced political analysis. However, their interpersonal intelligence and emotional regulation appear low in this exchange.

🔹 Person 2:
Strengths:
Speculative thinking: Person 2 introduces a conspiracy theory about FG using obscure groups to "test the waters"—a common method in realpolitik, suggesting they are not entirely clueless.

Attempts at strategic thinking: They reference examples (Natasha recall, Seyi Tinubu) to draw parallels, even if the examples are weak or inaccurate.

Weaknesses:
Lack of logical development: Their points are mostly speculative without supporting evidence. The "test the waters" argument is not expanded with logic or constitutional context.

Coherence: Many of their responses rely on insults or slogans (“Dey play,” “Ode,” “your username is misleading”) rather than argumentation.

Avoidance of substance: When challenged with facts, they dismiss the other party rather than refuting their points (“you lack deep thinking”).

Overall impression:
Person 2 shows below-average reasoning and communication skills. They may possess street smarts or instincts about political manipulation, but their articulation, argument depth, and maturity suggest limited intellectual engagement with complex topics.

______________________________________
🏁 Conclusion:
Person 1 demonstrates a significantly higher level of intelligence in terms of analysis, political knowledge, and argumentative skill. However, their intelligence is undermined by arrogance and personal attacks.

Person 2 likely lacks formal knowledge or critical thinking skills and compensates with emotional aggression and conspiracy thinking, often used as a shield against deeper engagement.

Competition is not domination. Don't confused the two languages. They are not the same.

If because of laziness to compete that why FG remove meritocracy and replace it with Quota system. By doing so, the standard and the bar was badly reduced so that those people who fears to compete can have an access.

And we have seen the effects of such action. We have incompetent people running affairs in this country. Be it in economy, FG agencies and parasatals, including security. All because FG remove meritocracy which results from competition and bring it quota system.

As for your paragraph. You don't want to see it or should I say that you see it and pretend not to see it.

Go through Nairaland politics section and you will see threads on update development going on SE states . Anambra guys started the competition. Imo , Enugu and Abia guys open their own thread about development going on in their states. They are fast competition with each other on whose states and governor is doing well and developing their states. All these are competition.

Igbos are Competing with themselves even in their town, kindred and villages in who will develop each other. It's a good competition that leads to development and I like it.

Whether you choose to believe it or not. Is your business not mine.
I don't even know where to begin to correct all the fallacious reasoning you displayed but I will only try:

1. The goal of competition is domination. If you try to define these words in any other way, you are not speaking English anymore

2. The goal of government is to create room for all the children of the government to grow, not for those who are more aggressive to quickly eat all and let the slower ones starve. No good father will allow that - unfortunately, excessive hubris-driven competition will blind your eyes to the concept of community. You would rather eat all by yourself then praise yourself for being competitive. That is what your criticism of the quota system implies.

Unfortunately, in Nigeria, we also suffer from another kind of problem, where the father has overprotected the slow and weaker ones. That is not an argument against the quota system, but rather it shows that the system must be well managed.

3. I didn't ask whether people are opening threads to display progress here or there - my question is where has the competition actually taken you? That is, are you living in El Dorado now? Or are you living in more or less the same conditions as everyone else?

owobokiri:
Having the cultural willpower to "outhustle" you even in your own backyard doesn't equate to having the tendency to dominate you. Don't get it mangled! We come prepared by an egalitarian culture for competition. If your lukewarm cultural penchants inhibits you from having the mentality to struggle to always be at the top, blame your traditional leaders and not those who were born wilking to dare.. If you have igbos around and you are not ready for competition, you are in trouble.

Igbos compete everywhere.., it is that simple! They compete with themselves and with others. And you wont see them complain if they lost to "fair competition". Competition energises merit. A merit based society is a society that is bound to be at the top. So we are not going to pipe low and watch you guys criminalise "merit" simply because you look bemused whenever merit is set as the yardstick...You can look at your quota system ravaged Nigeria and see how good your "rankadede and kabyesioo" ideology has worked out for the country..
That is not a good quality, and it is exactly what you say it is not: the desire to dominate. If you say it is your culture to compete amongst yourselves, no one will argue with you. Feel free. When you go to another man's family and your goal is to compete with his children - not to collaborate to better the family, but to conquer the inheritance for yourself- that is terrible, especially when that family has a culture of collaboration.

In any case, we are yet to see the benefit of this competition culture even within your own region.

What a silly thing to say.

It is you who is either not reading or simply are unable to comprehend.

Is there any point at which I've rejected your 2015 baseline? What I said was the negative figures that soared under Buhari are trending towards 2015 levels under Tinubu.

The point then is, if you say you judge both men on their own merit then you don't then fixate on APC in order to ignore the individual gains made by Tinubu. APC would not even come into the conversation.

Your last post was a particularly egregious exercise in disingenuity, where you oscillated between crediting Buhari's failures to Tinubu but making a distinction between the two men on the points where Tinubu has performed worse. Terrible approach to logical reasoning.

But it is the same APC that's been in charge since 2015. Why are delineating and claiming one steward or the other when the actors are almost still the same. Or do you mean the present actors joined APC in 2023?

The clear answer to your question is a capital No!!
Under the new steward, things have gotten worse for the average Nigerian and even the national economy. Minimum wage is now a paltry $43. Fuel is now N900 per litre. National debt has ballooned to N144trn from about N70trn. Inflation has hit 30%. A bag of rice of 10k in 2015 which the former steward left at N33000 now goes for between N70000-N80000!!

More importantly, Nigeria is even more divided than it was under the former steward as the south remains divided while the north/SW dalliance is now shaky.
Let me ask... If a family owns a business and two sons rotate the management of the business within themselves but one was a significantly poorer manager, will you discredit the better one with the poor decisions of the weaker one? Or will you assess either one on their own merit?
Politics › Re: Fitch Upgrades Nigeria To ‘B’ Rating, Stable Outlook On Policy Reforms by SmartyPants(m): 3:45pm On Apr 12, 2025
Agbegbaorogboye:
You're not applying commonsense in this matter

1. APC told us that BB rating, 9% inflation, $85 minimum wage, $500bn economy, N218/$1 and N97 per litre fuel were signs of failure in 2015. In other words, things were supposed to get better if they came in. They promised N40 fuel, $1 /N1 and other goodies. So how come 9 years later we're debating things trending downwards instead of debating how better off we are with APC in the saddle

2. APC did not come in with a mandate to restore. They came in with the belief that they'll improve on what was on ground and take Nigeria from the biggest economy in Africa to probably the biggest in Africa, the middle East and Carribeans. Today, are we closer than that from 2015 or farther from that? We're no longer the largest economy in Africa!!
So full restoration is not the issue. The issue is bastardisation of our national life happened on their watch
If you want to argue about political parties, fine APC is terrible party. But is Nigeria today trending towards your 2015 under a new steward even within that APC structure? If the answer is yes, which it clearly ought to be, then it makes no sense fixating on APC... Unless you just want to be cantankerous.

You're not making sense. What I said was:

1. That things are trending downwards, not that things are not bad today. Has nothing to do with rebased inflation - even at the rebased rate, it is trending downwards.

2. Full restoration cannot happen in a day.
