Loya WAS POPULAR before don jazzy became their ambassador.
I can bet with my left kidney that nobody took Loya because of Don jazzy and yet Loya is still not even among the top 3 best selling Milks in Nigeria.

It's just like saying Nigerians are flocking to Oraimo products because of Tubaba or Techno because of Fireboy.

I don't even want to talk about Tiwa and Twisco.

Seems you don't know the Black man's nature. Especially Nigerians.


"Ambassadorship" has minimal effect on the Nigerian culture.. Simple..
I never heard of loya milk and I have 3 kids ..it was Don Jazzy tweet and subsequent advert that made me to patronise the product



As for Samsung , he wasn't ambassador for adverts , he designed a woofer sound system and start up tune for their electronic division before they asked him to also produce their African Nations cup theme song


I'm not speaking or writing for third parties ... Don jazzy is the reason I got to know about loya milk

He is the reason I bought Samsung TV ...40 inches twice and later , 48 inches , the one that is now having screening issue .....it flickers after a while

How funny! 😃
Don baba J really did have quite an influence on you.

How could you not know that bleach whitens the toilet? 😄
Honestly,since morning I have been returning to the discovery ...you know that lady with baby like voice that does adverts for Harpic made me freeze my brain on it ...I just took it as advice given by an honest person


Remember they show you toilet cleaned with bleach then harpic

Since morning,the matter keeps coming up like I have been betrayed by a trusted fellow


As for the Don Jazzy, from the first day I heard thatsing ..ten ten by wande coal and been told a guy Don jazzy made it I just began following his works ....I listened to .mover the moon by Dr Sid and from there I got hooked to jazzy because he doesn't talk much



Now, please is his sense TV a good product that will be worth the money to be invested in it .... The electronic dealers told me to go for any other product but Samsung because of screen issue

Does product influencing really work (on you)?

What product(s) have you ever been influenced to buy because of the ambassador(s)?

Did you regret buying the product afterwards?
Kindly share your experience.
I became a Samsung electronics diehard when they engaged Don Jazzy back then ...Bought their TV ...40 inches and later gave it away and bought 48 inches then home theater..... unfortunately, the screen is now.misbehaving and when in enquired about fixing it , I was told to better get a new one that screen is the weakness of Samsung TVs and I shouldn't buy Samsung TVs

Again , the Sam jazzy made me go for loya milk


There is that lady that talks like a baby and anchors a program for DStv ...she made me believe bleach couldn't remove toilet stains ...his has remained in my head until just this morning...I entered the toilet and it has stains so I used the stuff to spray and the stains were coming off ...I started praising it but madam came and told me it was hypo bleach that was inside the container that it works better ...I have been thinking since this morning then while in the church



How is it that I didn't know that hypo could remove toilet stains and I even bought the toilet cleaner the woman advertises yesterday on my way home

So ,yes ,I have been influenced by influencers

PoliticsRe: A Total Ban On The Use Of Ethnic Slurs On Nairaland by Themandator: 2:51pm On Mar 28, 2023
Seun:
Fellow Nairalanders,

We have noticed the use of ethnic slurs and other derogatory names by a small but persistent group of political actors and trolls.

This practice of derogatory name-calling adds no value to the forum. It's bad for our mental health, our harmony as a community, and the reputation of Nairaland. It's simply toxic. It's absence and the absence of the people who use those slurs will not be missed.

Therefore I have decided to ban the practice entirely. I have instructed dominique, mukina2, Lalasticlala and Mynd44 to ban anyone who uses an ethnic slur or derogatory name on Nairaland. The antispam bot will also contribute to the effort. Please report any case that you see.

PoliticsRe: It Is Atiku That Will Benefit From Obi's Petition Against Tinubu - Reno Omokri by Themandator: 10:46am On Mar 24, 2023
Saidfx:
LOOKING AT OBI'S PETITION WITH A LAWYER'S INSIGHT
Looking at Peter Obi's petition, as Lawyer, one can't help but wonder what was going on inside Mr. Livy Uzokwu's (SAN) head and mind when he was penning down those " weighty" grounds 😃😃😂😂😂

Igbo kwenu!! Una weldone ooh!
The learned silk, Mr. Livy Uzokwu is challenging the 2023 Presidential election results on 5 "Unbelievably baseless grounds".

GROUND 1

That the president-elect was not qualified to contest.
To buttress this ground, in an election petition, The learned silk is relying on a case bothering on a civil proceeding against the president-elect alleging fine on drug trafficking in the U.S.
S. 131 of the extant 1999 Constitution lays down requirements to satisfy for eligibility to contest for the office the president i.e. you must be a Nigerian citizen, upto 40 years of age, must be sponsored by a political party and must have been educated upto secondary school or it's equivalent.
Unless your petition challenging the eligibility of a candidate to contest for the office of the president falls within any of the requirements mentioned under the enabling provisions of S. 131(a-d) of the CFRN 1999, I can't see how the Election Petition Tribunal can entertain it.

Election Petition Tribunals are not regular courts, they are special courts with special/specific jurisdiction and their powers are narrowly define. Unlike regular courts, they are not to consider matters too extranenous or tangential to the specific provisions of the constitution and the Electoral Act directly in issue. Mr. Livy as a SAN should have known this.

The alleged drug case Obi is relying on is not a conviction, it's a forfeiture proceeding, a purely civil matter, hence how can that be a ground for disqualification?

OTHER GROUNDS
Obi also wants the tribunal to declare him the winner of the Feb. 25th elections having scored the majority vote!!! 😳😳. Can you believe this?
Obi came a distant 3rd trailing PDP by almost 1million votes and APC by about 2Million votes.

I am not sure he can ask for this prayer unless he also joins Atiku Abubakar and his party too, the PDP, since Atiku scored more votes than him. For him to be declared winner, he has to also seek to nullify some of Atiku's vote.

Unfortunately, there is no room for amendment under the Electoral Act. There is no room for joinder of party as this will amount to seeking an amendment which is not allowed.

Obi is also asking for two mutually contradictory reliefs/prayers at the same time, you can't be asking the court to confirm you the winner of an election which are claiming to be flawed. He asked the court to declare him the winner in one breathe and on other breathe he is asking the court to nullify the entire election and order a new one. You cannot aprobate and reprobate at the same time.

Perhaps the most laughable of all the prayers is the one asking the tribunal to order a new elections and bar ASIWAJU from contesting. This is plainly impossible. A tall order.

On the vexing issue of the FCT and the failure to secure 25%, I think there is nothing to say. There is already a judicial authority settling this issue. All the Tribunal needs to do is to reiterate the position of the Supreme Court.

If this is what they intend to confront the team of lawyers led by Olanipekun and Fagbemi with, then Obi and his team of lawyers are jokers.

Teslim O. Oyetunji Esq.
You have never been to a tribunal as a lawyer so rest your Professor Sabinus posturing

Obi has win electoral cases and set landmarks in that regards

It is only in ttis country that learners wants to teach doers how to do it

He recognises that obi had influence on his numbers

It would have been less without obi making the party a movement.... He joined before obi yet nobody knew that... He would have been rigged outagain because he joined a party without form

Nobody would taken him seriously as it is today


Great Ogboru has joined virtually every party to run for same position and is yet to win


Unfortunately, he left labour for apga before obi joined labour

He would have been the governor elect in delta state today because a combination of his popularity and obis would have delivered it to him

CareerRe: Can Chatgpt Replace Doing Traditional Research Work by Themandator:

As someone who consults for organizations and several individuals on academic and professional research.

I can tell you of the excitement I got when I found out about ChatGPT in November, but this excitement was short-lived because of a serious discovery that could not make me ever use this technology on client work which I am privileged to work on.

The honest truth is that we are all lazy, including the expert too, and having a tool that seems to fix that looks like a relief, but as a senior colleague told me, work will continue to work even with or without the tool. My first discovery was from a work that I thought I have finished fast and after passing it to our standard and compliance department. It has to be returned because it was obviously a lazy job.

You heard that right, not just human that is lazy but AI too, many of the words were just repeated over again. Which was terrible. Doing proper academic research will never have resulted in that.

Second is that the tool was never designed to be used for academic or professional research as it has no reference nor the source original. So this thereby doubles the work of then looking for the material it source, yet the plagiarism is high.

The third which I will rap up to another day is that it is not designed to be perfect many research works are often specific and this tool is just not going to understand that. I could remember asking it obvious details about the CEO of OpenAI the company that designed it and missing it. So relying on such for your academic research can be a disaster, and finally, remember the model it is working with is not updated so you want to desist from using such tools and rather do it yourself or consult a professional.

In conclusion, I am not de-selling the efficacy of the tools. I think it is really powerful and can have a lot of impacts but just trying to enlight you that this generative pre-trained transformer (GPT) with the limited response should not replace during proper research if you want to contribute to the tree of knowledge in your discipline
If you want reference use the Microsoft version on bing or edge

It has many advantages over the actual CHATGPT. E. G, it is up to date and comes with references you can cite unlike bing

However , the latest version of the ChatGPT has done enough to clean out many faults of the 3.5 , still it is alway better to do direct research and write

Another thing Is that you need to ask questions it understands , correctly ...it is called prompts ..more like professionally written questions

Employ
1. Thesaurus
2 Verb

To tweak the prompts until it delivers


Wait for bard ...it just got rolled out today for UK and US

FOLYKAZE:
Electronic Voting on national level cannot be compared with local election within a state. Reason is that this electronics have more than 500000 ways of manipulating it. Believe you mean, the memory slot where the votes are store can be manually changed, hacked or destroyed remotely. Moreso, results can be intercepted during transmission. There are tons of loopholes desperate politicians can exploit to manipulate results. The Government might also collude with INEC to pre-programmed to favor a candidate.

Judging from the attacks on irev portal in the recent president election, report has it that there was more than 10000000 attacks on a single day. Now factor that big electronic distributed in about 180000 Polling units, imagine the different alterations, disruptions and manipulations that can be deployed to favor a politician?

Oga we need nation reorientation..... Not this big big machine
So you believe there was an attack ,in the millions ,on the Irev even when real experts have come out to say it is not possible and INEC itself told them there was nothing like that
