Celebrities › Re: Fela Not Originator Of Afrobeats – Tekno by SmartyPants(m): 9:20pm On Aug 28 |
PlasmaTV: All generalizations are false, including this one. Half education is bad. The saying, "All generalization are false including this one" which you have regurgitated without understanding it's meaning, is actually self indicting and ironic, not literal. It implies that the phrase "all generalizations" is itself a generalization and therefore paradoxically false. Generalizations, properly qualified, can be true. I.e "people from a certain area tend to be tribalistic" is a generalization that can be true. |

The same regurgitated textbook perspective? I do doubt the intellectual capacity of you all agreeing with Falana, without understanding that many times, new perspectives about ideals and ideas can ne gotten from people who are not bounded to the boundary of "academic curriculum".
What's the thing in his talk that is a problem? Lol. But you are the one who defined intellectual by "bounded academic curriculum", not so? Logically if you wanted to know what we're referring to as intellectual you would have asked and then kept quiet to allow me or someone else to provide a perspective on that. Ironically, in your garrulous nature, while trying to make a case for the unintellectual, you ended up displaying how you yourself belong in that class. You can't give what you don't have! |

So Mr. Falana Sir. What are your reservations about his delivery?
I guess the NBA has said No to all Works and No Play. So they play too.
I mean, comedians are also invited to big functions.
I'm sure Mr. Falana has also been invited to events just for his "influence" and not because he had delivered any value to the sector the function represents. There is an entertainment segment of the conference. This particular segment is meant to be one of the most serious parts. It is meant to provoke intellectual thought which Vincent Martins Otse does not have to offer. He has his value as a mass mobilizer but this was not the audience for him. |

The crux of the matter is where the funding should come from not whether forex should be subsidized. I.e should private investors borrow domestically or from foreign partners? Whether forex should be subsidized for power projects is a secondary question.
Cyril says the money is available locally. Dangote says interest rates are too high locally.

Is it Fraser suites that's owned by a northerner or Churchgate Towers that belongs to an Indian, abi na FIRS building con belong to Obidients?  Strange set of people! |

Putting Mr for person name in a cooperate setting is not a bad idea. Even whites will mostly Add Mr or Mrs or Miss. It has nothing to do with "americana" or whatever nonsense. It's simply this: In the interview, he's a guest. The interviewer, though younger, represents an institution and TOE is benefitting from being their guest because it generates publicity for his brand. That's a horizontal relationship. In the second case, the young lady is actually his employee. That's a vertical relationship! |

AMINDA: Buhari had 12m dedicated voters that would follow him to the ends of the world until the day of his death? How many organic supporters does Tinubu have in the Southwest? 5.6m out of his total 8m votes in 2023 were from the Buhari bloc who voted for him as payback for 2015, thanks to Elrufai. Buhari had thousands of people trooping out on the roads to greet him whenever he steps outside on the streets, Tinubu cannot even campaign in Lagos without hiring crowd and mobilising them with money. I thought the story had always been how GEJ was rigged and coerced out. Now it's emerging that Buhari was a man of integrity. We were also told that Tinubu had bullion vans supporting Buhari but now it seems Buhari never relied on vote buying after all. Hehehe. |

Clearly stated. |
Career › Re: My Boss Is Assaulting Me by SmartyPants(m): 2:52pm On Aug 12 |
Oludiary: Statement of Events I was working with an elevator company as an Elevator Technician when I came to Nigeria. A few months later, I received a message on LinkedIn from a man who wanted to establish an elevator company. He told me he needed me to help build the company and serve as the Lead Elevator Engineer. I agreed to the offer, resigned from my previous employment, and joined his company. A few weeks after I resumed, I noticed that the man began involving me in some of his other businesses, including his paper business and other activities unrelated to elevator engineering. I did not initially complain, but this began affecting my career and the work I was employed to do.
I also observed how he treated some of his other employees. On several occasions, I witnessed him verbally harassing and physically mistreating staff, including slapping them.
Regarding my own employment, the man has little or no technical knowledge of elevator engineering. Whenever I made professional recommendations or raised concerns about technical decisions, he often rejected them. However, when the consequences of those decisions occurred, he would blame me heavily and make me feel as though I was incompetent or did not know what I was doing.
The major incident occurred on a Friday. After completing our normal schedule for the day, I planned to repair the company's generator because I knew we had a very demanding schedule on Monday and I wanted to ensure that the generator was functioning properly beforehand.
The man repeatedly ordered me to return to the office. I politely explained to him, "Sir, if we don't fix this generator now, it could delay us on Monday." Despite my explanation, he continued insisting that I return to the office. Based on the previous circumstances and my assessment of the situation, I refused to immediately leave the generator.
He then came out of his vehicle and approached me aggressively, appearing as though he wanted to physically assault me. I tried to move away from him to avoid a confrontation. However, he grabbed my clothing and pulled it forcefully, causing one of my buttons to come off.
There were police officers present at the scene. He ordered them to put me into his vehicle, but they refused after witnessing what had happened. He then called other police officers on patrol, who subsequently arrested me.
At the police station, he made several allegations against me, including an allegation that I was the person who assaulted him. I was detained from Friday until Monday. During this period, he allegedly gave money to the police officers. My mother eventually came to the station on Monday and secured my release.
I was told that he would only allow me to be released on the condition that I sign an undertaking stating that I would continue working for him. I was under significant pressure and had already spent several days in detention, so I agreed to sign the undertaking in order to secure my release.
Immediately after I signed the undertaking, his treatment of me became worse. At the end of the month, he deducted two days' pay from my salary. I asked him why the money had been deducted because, to the best of my knowledge, I had not missed those two working days. He told me that the deduction was for the days I had spent in police detention.
I became upset about this and returned to the police station to report the matter. However, the police were unable to recover the money for me.
I subsequently informed him that if he expected me to continue working for him, I wanted my salary to be paid weekly, with my monthly salary divided into four payments. He refused this arrangement. Since then, I have not resumed work.
I now believe that because the undertaking did not prevent me from stopping work, he has decided to pursue an assault case against me. I have now been invited to the police station tomorrow in connection with the alleged assault.
I maintain that I did not assault him. I attempted to avoid a physical confrontation when he approached me aggressively, and he was the person who grabbed my clothing and pulled it.
I am concerned about what may happen at the police station tommorow and would like proper legal advice and protection regarding my rights, the alleged assault case, the undertaking I signed under pressure, my unpaid/deducted wages, and the circumstances surrounding my previous detention. Where exactly are you located? |
