You're still using Nigerian mind to reason.
You're talking about PG..
Book, book, book.
One Lebanese consultant I worked under, here in Nigeria, said that we Nigerians read books too much for reading sake.
For them, they go straight into construction, machinery right from Secondary school. Everyday, after school, they are at the workshop. That's how they get experience and start running industry then come here to Nigeria to setup up their company and employ YOU Nigerian with PhD to work UNDER them..
When I lived in UK, everybody was working. I met people that were not interested in University at all, working in same office I was working. Some were even my senior.
Face work directly and stop using nonsense university and PhD to dodge responsibility.
I understand what you mean but when you realize that the PhD holder will be paid $300k per annum as a professor, you'll know it is not a waste. It all depends on where the skills or knowledge are valued and paid accordingly. You forget that physical labour has its limits too.

I requested for a 2 month off from my place of work, then told my "friends" that I've been laid off and that I've lost all my life's saving in a ponzi scheme. Gradually they started avoiding me, including my baby. I was looked down upon and treated like trash. It was there I knew that I had the wrong people around me, I just had to cut them off and focus on myself.

Xenry:
I think you should be real first before faking your downfall.
LOYALTY TESTING, SIMULATE YOUR DOWNFALL:
“Simulate your downfall to see who folds and sells you out. Loyalty is gauged in the face of failure, not success.” -IM
It is often possible to simulate your downfall; make it look like everything is falling apart, when in reality everything is perfectly fine. Do this, see who stays loyal, and who abandons you.
The appearance of catastrophe has to last for at least a few months. With most of the mercenaries surrounding you, it is unlikely that they will abandon you the day after your downfall comes; for most it will take at least a few weeks.
If a person stays loyal even after 3 months of you appearing to have been destroyed, you can safely assume their loyalty is real.
This may sound like a drastic and unnecessary exercise in deception in return for nothing. In reality, it is a deception that serves a critical purpose; finding out who the real loyalists are.

You cannot build an empire on the backs of mercenaries. History is filled with kings who were destroyed by their closest allies abandoning or outright backstabbing them.
Betrayal from your allies is far more dangerous than any attack from an enemy. In the case of backstabbing, the closer someone is to you the easier it will be for them to destroy you since they are more familiar with your vulnerabilities than anyone else. In the case of abandonment, the closer someone is to you the more you depend on them, and so it is all the more damage that their disappearance will cause.
There is one limiting factor; the downfall you simulate must be easily reversible, so that you can make everything appear normal (good) after you are done with the simulation.

PoliticsRe: It Was Called Media Chat Not Interrogation"–shehu Sani Slams Rufai And Seun Oki by trium:
festacman:
The truth is when journalists are invited to the State House to interview the president, they would have to,
- One, overcome being awestruck of the intimidating State House environment and being starstruck when the president appears in their midst.
1. President Bola Tinubu held a media chat at his Ikoyi, Lagos residence, where he shared his thoughts on various pressing issues.

2. This is why, for journalists to respect themselves, they have to reduce playing outside their courts. It is better you invite your guest to your studio than go to his place. A CEO who invites you to his boardroom has some influence over you because it is his court. Abati saying no one asked them to submit questions beforehand is both damage control and deviation from the fact that it was not live, it was recorded. This means there is time to edit and of course, the President will be relaxed.

3. While I understand what you are saying, not all journalists will cower to the office because they are professionals. All they will do is to adjust a bit. Their temperance will definitely not be the same as they were in the studio but they will still ask.

4. The reason why the media is the 4th estate of the realm is because they are the voice of the people. If you know you're looking for a position, leave the place. We don't want a situation where those who were elected by the people have nothing to fear anymore. Our legislature is compromised, the judiciary is no longer blind and we can't afford to have a choir of media men singing for the President or elected officials. This is why I condemned those who went to interview Wike, let him come to the NUJ house or a neutral place, don't go to his house or office to interview him. You have lost some of your independence that way.

5. I am not a fan of Rufai but sometimes we need people like that. You know why? Media allows the common man think and judge for themselves. If everyone behaves the same way and thinks alike, you'll lose interest and viewers. People think differently and he makes sense sometimes with his questions. When he asks those questions, if you have no fear, you put him in his place with facts. But a situation where people curry news, it means they are like the rainbow, they can fade in and fade out.

I watched Abati, Ayo and Rufai on TMS and I liked how 3 of them had different points. While Abati was trying to hound over him that he had being conducting Presidential Media chats since 1999, those were still not responses to the burning questions Rufai asked. No one cares if you invented media chats. As a journalist, are you asking questions the masses want an answer to. You need to remember who you are loyal to. Yourself or the profession. Rufai can be overboard on some issues but I won't deny quality questions when they come in and I qm not someone who puts people down. I am interested in the issues than the personalities whether they are doing it for likes or dislikes.

6. Obasanjo started the live media chat and some questions have irked him in the past. I remember one of the journalists, I can't remember the name, it may be Gbenga Aruleba, I'm not sure, asked him a question that irritated him. The media chat is not a chat, it is a Q&A. People will call in then and there was no social media. It is not a place for soft landing but in this one, Maupe was one of the few who tried to follow-up with a question. If you are a critical person on your show and then you have the opportunity to show that in person and you don't, you are a coward.

7. Tundun also had this approach that was critical but she was there with Abati and their CEO to speak to Buhari. What media houses must understand is that people are not stupid. And this takes me back to Abati trying to intimidate the younger ones with how long he had been doing this. No one cares!

The media was the biggest loser in the American election because they saw how journalists were taking sides, giving politicians an easy pass and lambasting 1 candidate. The people know when you have done well and the people know when you have done well for yourself only but you keep deceiving yourself that you have done well for everyone.
Nigerians don't seem to understand that a huge % of their population are youth. A huge number of them don't know history and don't care what you did in the past, they are assessing you based on what you are doing today. You may say they have a mob attitude but they also ask critical questions and once you ignore them, you reinforce their belief that you guys are living in your past. This is why you cannot ignore the likes of Rufai because there is a demography that follow them. Don't forget that the younger generation are not using traditional news like we used to in the past so ignoring them is like speaking to your classmates for a school election.
I have seen instances where Monday Obilo, Kadri lady amongst others have interviewed high profile candidates but they bite hard. it's not an easy job to do but if you are experienced enough, you should have more leverage than newbies.

PhonesRe: MTN Plans To Launch A Bank - PICTURES by trium: 2:09pm On Dec 24, 2024
Momo's Modus Operandi

According to the CBN's Guidelines for the Licensing and Regulation of Payment Service Banks (PSBs) in Nigeria, payment service providers in the country are to "operate mostly in the rural areas and unbanked locations targeting financially excluded persons."

They are also expected to have no less than 25% financial service touch points (locally called kiosks) in these rural areas.

In addition, PSBs are authorized to deploy Point of Sale devices and Automated Teller Machines in some of these areas, and they can use other channels, including electronic platforms, to reach their customers.

Moreover, the service providers are allowed to accept deposits from individuals and small businesses as well as being able to carry out payments and remittances (including inbound cross-border personal remittances) through various channels within Nigeria.

Furthermore, they can sell foreign currencies realized from inbound cross remittances to authorized foreign exchange dealers in the country.

However, they are barred from granting any form of loans, advances and guarantees (directly or indirectly), or accepting foreign currency deposits.

Among other things, payment service banks are also not to deal in the foreign exchange market.

If you don't know, MoMo PSB is not new in Nigeria. In Nigeria, there is a rule that prevents banks and telcos from going into each other's territory.

In the past, it used to be people buying mint notes. Under Emefiele, who made life difficult for Nigerians and started a currency change, POS came in and the banks caught on. There is money in the POS but no money in the banks. How else can you explain corruption?

CBN cashless policy in the mud
When this current administration was campaigning, I thought with how Tinubu was talking, he will clean the mess caused by his brother Buhari but today, no change.

We have 2 currencies, old notes and New notes but when they want to have primaries, dollars will flow. In a country that uses Naira.

Look at what happened during primaries. The day they learn to differentiate politics from governance, our lives will be better. As terrible as PDP was, they knew when to put the country first. With these ones, they don't even care if the country burns, as long as they are satisfied.

PDP was doing this long before APC was formed.
Please share examples, I want to see. I remember the PDP government had SURE-P which was a well organized program for youth and the government of APC cancelled it. I don't support any of the parties and I'm old enough to know what happened in our politics from 1999 but I don't remember when or where PDP normalized sharing of cash to citizens. Don't forget I used Fayose as an example and people said this was not normal but APC has what they call CCT - Conditional Cash Transfer. They shared money, cash publicly and it has become a norm.

Do you see what I mean now? When government officials start sharing cash and palliatives in public, they set a standard.

You can't do giveaway as an escape out of poverty. We used to abuse Fayose of PDP of stomach infrastructure but we didn't know they were admiring him. Think about it, it is now 10 years of APC, so people don't see how these palliatives became normalised.

Years ago, we used to have people from Lagos fly to Owerri on Fridays and get back to Lagos on Sunday mornings. The purpose was to enjoy Owerri nightlight just for 2 nights. Unfortunately, the Ipob madness spoilt everything.

Beautifying the East is not a bad idea. However, the underlying economy should also be developed as well as security ensured.

For a start, a website where South Eastern-manufactured goods are advertised with worldwide shipping and escrow payment option will be more beneficial than all the hotels in Owerri put together. Unfortunately, most of the youths are too foolish to see this. They are busy with Ipob, betting, ogwu ego and insulting people with divergent opinions.
You make a very good point..only the lowlifes waste their times online and offline on foolish superior fights. There is so much potential our economies can achieve but we have lazy people governing us and diverting people's attention from serious issues. Last time, someone posted a story of Air Peace going from Anambra to London and another person said it's a stopover flight. They took it to a tribal jingoism level and I was just smh at the pettiness of these folks. For God sake, where are there no stopovers? What is the amount of traffic from Anambra to London that will make Air Peace skip Lagos where most traffic is from? Their level of thinking is ridiculous and offers no way forward but foolish boasting and pride.

I don't know if it is poverty (of the mind and money) but it beats me that these folks can't see that the elites are united at the top in living a good life regardless of their religion, tribe or any of these things they use to divide them. Whether it's the North or South, Africa or abroad, it's the same everywhere. Tribalism, racism and other extremisms are usually shared by people at the bottom of the pyramid.

The ones who pretend to be nice by talking to you mostly do so in order to get to know and see how they can take advantage of you. And they are the types that can never be there for you!!
I think adults can and should always set boundaries. It is not compulsory to befriend them, you can just have a cordial relationship with them because they are human beings and hopefully, there is a payback day when you need it. The human mind is strange, people collect deposits of what you have done to them and it can motivate them to act when it is time to do so.

We can't live this world alone. Some personalities like to be alone but we still need some bit of social interaction to survive in this world. Some of those neighbours, like you rightly said, only want access to you. Some of them want to establish dominance. Some of them behave like they are the landlords. Some of them who are older than you want you to respect them. There are all sort of things people do, those are their insecurities and it has nothing to do with you if you don't enterain it. People should just draw boundaries and that's it.

I will be who I want to be and I will only give you what I want to give you of my life. I will be nice to you as a human being, as my neighbour, as my NLer but my niceties have limits. Those are my boundaries, respect yourself and I respect you too.

I have had comedians as neighbours. And I have also had monks as neighbours. If you understand what I mean.
Let me rephrase, "you don't know who your neighbours are until there's a crisis"

It's when there's a fire outbreak, flooding in your house or an emergency, you know who cares about you or who cares about themsleves. Some people are watching out for you without you knowing. They may not talk to you at all but their actions will come through during a crisis.

The President was ill-advised. Instead of him saying ‘I am sorry’, he was again ill-advised to run to Senate to amend the Act while the case is already in court.

Why do we think everything needs to be renamed? By 2040 when most of the promient VIPs pass away, everything would have been renamed except Nigeria. Very shallow thinking, they don't even consider the psychological effects it can have on the people when they think of these things. This is how changing the national anthem caused Nigerians to be alienated from their own country but these people are not mentally equipped to see that winning a fight just because they have the power has not made them win a war which they cannot solve.

We can come up with better ways of honouring people than renaming institutions that have been there for years.

He took time before writing the book, he resigned from practice and debarred himself, which makes mockery of those who want him debarred and then said he will not leave Nigeria. Watch his interviews and his posts, you will see that they are playing into his hands. I think he has achieved his aim already, I was even surprised that at his last press conference, he was expecting his arrest and asked why they were setting booby traps for him. It is sad that they are acting exactly how he predicted and proving him right.

The guy even suspects that he won't get justice from the system he has complained about but one thing he has done for sure is to put the torchlight on the judiciary. Politicians can act without honor, journalists can collect bribes, teachers can change grades but if judiciary loses the perception of justice, the entire institution lacks credibility.
