Kingosytex:
Some of the happenings and traditions I see daily makes me question people's sanity and state of mind. Can a whole people be foolish at the same time?
Who decides what is sane and what is not?

There are some things in your own culture that would be considered insane by another.

Culture is dynamic and constantly evolving; one culture's sanity is another culture's insanity

You only part of the few claiming it’s a cheat.

The tribunal will determine if it was. As at now Asiwaju is the president.
Few? I don't think so. And even if, how does that affect the facts and issues on ground?

Leave it for the tribunal, you say, exactly ! Yet that is exact the opposite of what you were suggesting, i.e they should accept defeat...

If Remi as a former senator is capable of any position that could warrant her presence there, I see nothing wrong there, her presence in such meetings should be the least of our problem. Tinubu can give her a ministerial appointment or anything worthwhile, that's at Tinubu's prerogative. My concern however is that how exactly did they confirm the poster as obedient? Or it's just another unfounded propaganda attempt!
It seems you have not heard of a word called "Nepotism"

It refers to the practice among those with power or influence of favouring relatives, friends, or associates, especially by giving them jobs.

But our brains and values have been so bastardized by impunity and mediocrity that we think it is ok.

Na wa!

Family › Re: My 4-Year-Old Daughter Keeps Telling Mysterious Stories About Her Past Life by TheGift: 3:19pm On May 30, 2023
kekakuz:
My first daughter happens to live with her mum and i only get to see her Like once a week or less.

I have noticed that when ever she talks to me on phone, she talks like an adult. She says things only an experienced person would say.for example, she called me to buy 3 cakes for her birthday and I questioned why.

She said because the last time I bought her cake was for her 1st birthday and I have to buy for all the years I did not buy.recently, I asked her who is God and she said God is a spirit that lives in heaven and is on the water and he created everything from the the water.

Even though this sounds incoherent and funny, I don't expect such answer from a 4 years old girl.

Today, I called her to myself and ask her what of her mum and she answered "which one" I was shocked .

I proceeded to ask her how many mum does she have and she said "my mum dies long time ago and this one is her second mum" I was shocked to the bone.

So I separated her from her siblings and asked deeper questions even tho I didn't want her to feel scared. She also told me she had 2 othere siblings and called their names. Told me where she lived before and this is where I stopped.

I have always wanted to belive In Reincarnation and this is proof before my very eyes .

Guys what do you think and how do I handle this
If you can listen to Her without judging, but with love and understanding, then I think you will be fine.

Not judging also includes not jumping to conclusions like reincarnation. Just take it as it is. And leave it at that.

Get back to us when she is like seven.

He tried, considering his ailing health and age., but it was still painful to watch Him struggle through that. I know that after today, we will hardly hear Tinubu talking again. Let's hope there will be action though and He will be kept alive until the next transition to power whether in a few months or years.

Politics › Re: Tinubu’s Inauguration: Peter Obi Sends Message To Obidients, Others by TheGift: 7:40pm On May 28, 2023
Reference:
Totally agreed with this.
Yes, the pursuit of justice also benefits the course of development beyond the individual and the aggrieved party.

But the party has agents in the Legislature. It won many seats and the ideal of reforming laws can start there in earnest.
If the Labour Party is organised and cohesive it should have called a summit for all its successful candidates like ages ago and deliberated on how its interests and that of the vast majority of Nigerians are going to be served WITH THE POWER IT PRESENTLY HAS so that its leading candidate can take on the Executive.

You can have a quest for justice run concurrently with a quest to reform laws and a quest for good governance. That is what democracy is all about. Everyone doing his bit in his office. But if they all sit down outside the doors of the courts they will lose out on the streets and in the homes where Nigeria lives.

I will tell you one good reason the PDP performed much worse than it did in 2019, it did not show the vast majority of long suffering Nigerians in the run up to 2023 that it truly cared about them. Everything they were about was themselves, their ambitions, not the people.

The Labour Party should not fall into that trap. It should be about what NIGERIA and Nigerians have lost in not voting Labour rather than what Mr Peter Obi or the Labour party has lost in not getting elected.

And it will prove this by stepping into the office of The Opposition without delay and with vision and dexterity, then it will be guaranteed a clean shot at power in the near future.
This is a logical and valid perspective, well said.

Going to court it not just about winning a case, it is also about keeping judicially verified records as well as ensure proper interpretations and lay sound precedents for posterity.

For example, the courts can help us end the debate on if a candidate must win 2/3 in FCT or not.

We can't really build a just society on injustice and a shaky moral foundation.

But if Nigerians like me sincerely prayed and believe that God has answered , then I accept that God can use anything or anyone to achieve his purposes.

Britishpea:
Wherever this is coming out of, there are still a lot of gibberish sitting pretty. Focused people wil never dwell on the past. Trump still believed he was rigged out. Hilllary Clinton,Some folks believed the electoral college played her.
Elections were believed to have been rigged in Obj”s favour. Goodluck’s men fought to retain the seat thinking they were edged out by Buhari’s men-Orubebe.

Buhari believed he never lost any election the three times he had lost. Atiku won Buhari in his mind and in the eyes of his loyalists.
So election would always look like it was rigged till the country is stable politically. It is a fallacy to think Obi or Atiku won the elections. Move on and stop living in the past. The bus is leaving you at your old spot.
Trump had no logical reason to claim the elections were rigged, It was always His strategy if He lost.

In the case of Hilary Clinton, everyone knew she won the popular vote, but she lost due to the electoral college votes, there was no rigging, just politicking.

Coming back home to Nigeria, there has always been rigging, whether directly by the candidates or by their sponsors, as in the case of Yar Adura who admitted that the elections which brought Him to power were not free and fair.

What makes the 2022 elections different from all the others was:
1. Many Nigerians got their voters card and came out to vote because they believed that for once, their votes will count due to the transparency that electronic voting/ transmission will bring and the assurance from INEC that it will be so, only to do the exact opposite.

2. The fact that INEC rushed to announce the results in the dead of night when there were reseaonable grievances on the table

3. The fact that INEC which is supposed to be an independent Neutral umpire is now acting as a partisan party in support of a particular candidate

4. The fact that the Person who was announced as winner didn't win in The key capital cities of Nigeria, including the state He governed and His original home state.

5. The fact that we currently have a youth population of 70% most of whom are unemployed , hungry, angry and disillusioned by this country , they are exposed to information and global standards so they know that what we have here in the name of Democracy and Justice is a joke. They really hoped that something different would happen and are now even more disillusioned.

What all of the above point to is the fact that , unlike in other elections where justice was not done but it seemed to be done, in this case justice was not only NOT done but justice has als NOT been seen to be done.

To honest and well meaning Nigerians to just accept it like that, is like telling someone who was raped to just forget about it and accept a marriage with their rapist. It means you expect us to stay stuck in toxicity and mediocrity .

You need to find a way to communicate this with your wife, without complaining. Just as a fact of your relationship, your expectations versus reality. Then ask Her what she wants feom you and if She is wants to make the relationship work. You will find your answer in Her answer.

I wish you all the very best.

Divorce is never the solution, marriage is not meant to be perfect
The solution to what? a peaceful mentally healthy life where you are free to live out your God given talent without someone feeling the need to control you? Or the solution to maintaining the perception of a union where the two are not anywhere close to being one?


Marriage is not meant to be perfect? Is that supposed to be an excuse for destructive behaviors that only harm And do not help anyone?

What are your standards for a good marriage? Like seriously.

Some of us accept mediocrity in marriage because we don't have any really purposeful or transcendent meaning behind it. We are just fulfilling societal expectations or getting moved by flimsy emotions. That is where the problems begin.
