Politics › Amotekun by thinkmoney(op): 8:27pm On Jan 24, 2021 |
In the course of finding solutions to problems in Nigeria we create other problems. The major problem in Nigeria is that our political system is set up in such a way that bright people can't make it to the top. Go and check our LGA wards, and you will see that it's illiterates and touts that are calling the shots. I dare say that there hasn't been any liberal, intelligent and really progressive political leader at any level in Nigeria since the past 15years. A good case study is Amotekun creation. There have been few good news coming out about this band. I as a common citizen with sense, knows that to form such units, you need at least make them undergo 2 years of intensive training. What stops the southwest government from recruiting graduates? Instead, everything has become transactional; it's touts and illiterates that's being recruited. Is there any charter guiding this unit? Has any law been formulated, specifying their scope of activities and job description? They are just let loose to work with there discretion. And what has formed this discretion? It's 'the street' not school! I predict that these Amotekun bands will become another problem instead of solution. |
Education › Conspiracy Theories by thinkmoney(op): 3:20pm On Jan 21, 2021 |
It's an uncertain world I agree, and many are feeling they have lost control of their lives - like it's in a free fall. This sinking feeling is why a lot of people resort to believing conspiracy theories by some fringe groups. But the truth is that conspiracy theories are more appealing than satisfying, it is a way of seeking pattern in randomness. It's self deceiving and defeating. Any action or decisions of life taking on these theories most time bring about regrets, more despair, further disillusionment, loss of investments and sometimes loss of lives and limps. I have heard of so many people, that reject life-saving treatments, gave out their investments, burnt their properties and there have even been cases of people committing mass suicide and murder has a consequence of some false information/believes. LETS KILL CONSPIRACY THEORIES.�� |
Foreign Affairs › Rollercoaster Era Comes To An End by thinkmoney(op): 10:05pm On Jan 20, 2021 |
President Trump, before the pandemic, presided over an economic boom, re-oriented America's opinion of China, removed terrorist leaders from the battlefield, revamped the space program, secured an originalist (conservative) majority on the US Supreme Court, and authorised Operation Warp Speed to produce a Covid-19 vaccine in record time. Poverty rate for Black Americans and Asia Americans dropped to it's lowest level in modern history during Trump's time. His other many shortcomings however was always going to dent his legacy. Trumps principle and policies from my study of him is; him first, then his America. It's fair to say that Trump's egocentricity made and broke him. I (like how i advice everybody to be) do not expect much from any human or human institutions, however a part of me will miss Trump's dramas. |

How hard is it to obey the law? Why are you people so anti social and lawless in thinking and behavior? I want to believe you can read well, grasp perspective and comprehend things. I haven't said there should be no penalty for offences, in fact I believe that a lawless society is a chaotic society. But, laws should be fair logical. In fact, jail term could be more painful than the car auctioning but it is also more rationale. What's the logic behind auctioning of the cars. It's the person and the persons family's property Let me list the penalties a civil and progressive society can give to such offenders: first time offenders=fine. Repeat offender=suspension of driving license. Second repeat offender=jail term |

plaindealer: You do not get to dictate to Lagos state how to administer Lagos, how to make and enforce laws.
Lagosians put the laws in place, obey their laws of face the penalties. Your take is shocking. Iran is trying to do well for itself, but it still have laws that majority feel are harsh and inhumane. Besides, I am a lagosian, and the government is supposed to serve me. A society should be built on fair and humane laws not one that is arbitrary. Laws should be enacted and executed in a way that they apply consistently in every case. This is one way a society becomes civil. Morever, it takes a polished and civilized mind to fully grasp this things. Laws that are arbitrary only spurn and enhance totalitarian regimes. Like how Thailand had sentenced somebody to 43years for sharing a podcast that is thought to be insulting to the monarchy, like Iran jailing somebody for ten + years for posting videos where she used make up and editing to turn herself to a scary character, like Saudi attesting and jailing women for driving etc. This laws are rediculous |

plaindealer: When you drive against traffic, people die, sadly.
This lawless and thoughtless woman need to explain to families and victims of these dangerous and reckless drivers why they should not be punished and just receive a slap on the wrist instead. There should be orders and a clearly stated penalty for offences. I think fine or jail term is appropriate, to not make anybody misconstrue government motives. Demolishing people's properties and auctioning of cars carries the risk of motives being misinterpreted |

“…They want to use the (COVID-19) vaccines to introduce the disease that will kill you and us. God forbid!” Mr Bello said.

See the lack of understanding a leader is showing? A leader that does not know that different diseases have different structures, anatomies, functions and styles, hence present different challenges as to how to tackle them. And see how he fails to see, that the vaccines were hurried up in major part because they are expedient considering the threat of covid (or how many sicknesses have gone over the world with the type of speed covid has?). How many people too notice that people that tend to believe in this kind of conspiracy theories share similar unacceptable societal characters and attitudes. Just compare Trump with this Bello |

The Zambia and Tanzania Presidents are also in that group of rare Bold leaders.. Please can you quickly donate the head? Your head like Bello's head is actually dragging down society. Let me help you with one common sense that is obviously uncommon for you. If this vaccine is dangerous and it's a result of a plan to kill off blacks, why are european government hoarding it?

Why has Nigerian government as big as it is, been only able to bid for (not procure oh) ten thousands?

bizme: I am aware this might not be the experience of every couple but the many couple I have interacted with, the story is pretty much the same: the wife losing interest in sex once she gets married to the man and especially once children start coming.
For certain couples it isn't as obvious as that, the wife simply approaches sex as a mechanical function that she needs to get over with and perhaps do something else.
Why do you think this is so? Can one say it's because once married the woman feels socially secured and doesn't need to put in any effort to win the man? Or does it have anything to do with changing biology? You many at times will observe that your urge for sex is not usually in it's highest after an hectic day. This is same reason why child rearing and house chores takes a toll on women's urge. STRESS IS WHY THEY APPEAR TO LOOSE INTEREST IN SEX |

Though based on the 'Nigeria factor', it is very early for a female at age 22 living with her parents to move to her own apartment.. She wants freedom and space to do and allow whatever pleases her, that's it. About the flimsy excuse that she doesn't want noise, I want to ask, did she not grow up in that house? Has there not been noise before? She can choose to stay alone anyways since it appears she can fend for herself, but it's high-risk and their is high tendency that it's her youthful cravings and exuberance that is getting the better of her |

Family › Re: Some Damaging Words My Wife Said During A Quarrel by thinkmoney(m): 8:31pm On Jan 11, 2021 |
CrescentMoon: Let me first tell you my kind of character. For you to make me angry, you have to repeat an offense more than 30 to 40 times. After each offence, I would only give you facial expression that will let you know that you offended me. And I would ensure you get the message.
So wife kept repeating same offence. I told her I don't like what she was doing. She said she would adjust, but kept repeating the same thing. When I got fed up, I tried to retaliate. My only retaliation is that I stopped being around in the house. I would leave the house very early in the morning and return late at night. I would go for business in another town and return 4 days later. She knows nothing stops me from coming home everyday from the other town because I have means of transportation. She flared up. Started calling relatives that I'm maltreating her. They asked her to say which ways I have been maltreating her...she said I'm avoiding our home. Relatives asked if I'm beating or starving her. She said no.
I know why it pained her very well. If she wants to go and urinate outside, I would go and drop her there. When she is through, she would call me and I would go and pick her up again.
She's a woman that's always settling fights for couples in the street. So, she never wanted it to be heard anywhere that we are quarelling in our home. She won't want anybody to come to our house to settle disputes. So this prolongs our fights always.
When she couldn't bear it again, she sent a message to me that goes like this: I INITIALLY DIDN'T WANT TO DIVORCE YOU BECAUSE OF YOUR DISABILITY AS I PITY YOU. BUT NOW, IT'S OVER. YOU HAVE TO BEAR THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR ACTIONS TOWARDS ME ALL THESE YEARS. WHAT DID I HAVE TO DO WITH A JUJU DIABOLIC MAN IN THE FIRST INSTANCE.
Let me disect those words in capital letters for you. I have a disability, but you can't notice it easily until you start talking to me. She said I have to bear the consequences of my actions towards her... looking back, I have done unimaginable things to make her happy. I even saved her life when she didn't want blood transfusion from unknown persons as a result of her Christian belief not to contract demons from the blood of unknown person. Fortunately, my blood group is that of a universal donor. That means I can donate blood for anybody. Note that she had never done any noteworthy thing for me apart from giving birth to our babies. About being a juju man, I will tell you how she arrived at this: somebody was about to give birth from her family side and the baby was in breech position. She asked for advice and I told her that if I take the woman to the village my uncle will give the woman a concoction to reverse it. Her faith is against it, but because someone from her side just gave birth through CS, which almost led to the death of mother and baby, she asked me to take the woman to the village. The breech position was reversed. I'm surprised she now labelled me a juju man.
Instead of me to take her message personal, I urged her to please herself. This infuriated her the more. Instead of leaving me, she invited someone to intervene, tracked me to the second town, and it was settled there.
My problem now is that those words are still ringing in my head... someone I thought was a lover said she married me out of piety. Explain this very same way to somebody that has a real influence over her in her family |

JourneytoEL: I enjoy communing with God using his titles, although I also use his name seldomly. Same way, i always call my biological father, daddy if i want to communicate with him instead of calling his name. But we learn everyday, if you can show me just one verse of Bible where someone was praying and called God by his nname, then i will make my adjustments. Good, I like ur attitude. First, the Bible from the old testament to the new testament, emphasised that 'anybody that calls on the name of God will be saved'. Jesus further, said in his prayers that he has made God's name known. Now, this is the part you really need to know. Most prayers that are recorded in many Bible translations are almost always addressed to 'LORD'. Now those lords in capital letters are actually originally Yahweh/Jehovah. It's an unbliblical tradition that arose that made translators blot out God's name. This is unfair and even satanic. Imagine taking the name of an author off his book. Worse, the Bible curses anybody that removes as much as a dot from Gods word. To get the perspective of this evil, God's name originally appear more than 7000 times in the Bible. But now, you see it on average 2 times in most translations. The Bible discourages the abuse of God's name but encourages it's use. |

It feels very much like we are back in that dark medieval age that Bibles were consfiscated and burnt because some few elites thought the general public can't think for themselves. This is a president that unlike several others before him hadn't use lies to unleash any major war (I guess some establishments didn't like this too).

Travel › Re: Five Northern Cities That Attract Visitors In Nigeria by thinkmoney(m): 11:43am On Jan 08, 2021 |
Arewa247: Which cities in Northern Nigeria are frequented more by visitors? Surprisingly, the north is still attracting investors and generating tourism revenue yearly to the Nigerian government. We have listed five states you may love to visit in the north that are exciting and full of life. We would not bring up the capital city, Abuja because it is unique and definitely not avoided by Nigerians.
Kano
A city known for its commercial activities in Nigeria is Kano. It is the second biggest city in the country and is dubbed the ‘Center of Commerce.’ Kano was named after the legendary Aminu Kano. It attracts hundreds of thousands of people to it including the power figures in the country. It is strategically located and has links to African countries like Cameroon, Niger, Chad and Republic of Benin by road. Its Mallam Aminu Kano International Airport serves both local and international flights. Kano is not lagging behind with hotels that range from budget hotels to luxury five star hotels. A lot of Nigerians aren’t even aware Kano is very beautiful with numerous places to visit. [hyperlink] We have listed some important places you can visit when you are in Kano.
Kaduna
Kaduna is not far away from Kano. It is barely an hour drive from the ancient city of Kano. Kaduna is called the ‘Crocodile City’ and is rich in culture and tourism. There is an even mixture of both the Christians and Muslims. Take away tourism from Kaduna, and you would embrace intellect. There are so many great educational institutions in the city which pulls a chunk of Nigerians to it as students.
Jos
The temperate weather of Jos makes it peculiar among other cities in the north usually associated with harsh weather. The town is relatively peaceful with hundreds of places to visit. Nollywood still loves this place, and once in a while great movies are shot here. Things are not expensive, and there are a lot of expatriates here. With a population of over 900,000 according to the 2006 census, Jos has become one of the biggest cities in Nigeria. Sometimes, it seems like Jos is a city in another country because of its temperate weather and the lifestyle of the people.
Lokoja
Lokoja is the confluence city that brings together rivers Niger and Benue. Today, Lokoja has become a stop-over for travelers coming to Abuja, Kaduna, Kano and other cities in the northern Nigeria. You can feel the friendliness of the people who easily mingle with strangers here.
Makurdi
Finally on our list is the city of Makurdi. It is the capital city of Benue – the food basket of the nation that has become a haven for those who love food as a business or as consumers. There are loads of tourist attractions here for you to see
Arewa is a blessings to Nigeria. God bless Arewa. God bless federal republic of Nigeria. I don't know how u made front page.
