uuzba: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. |
Omalicious1:TheUnderCover deleted that thread of his but it seems you played this part. I found where someone else posted it Xenry: |
Arrowhead71:He never said that. |
You peeps don't know how to keep things hush hush, it's everything you'll bring online just because you want to brag. |
The OP is not lying. Even Donald Trump worked there and became President ![]()

festacman: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! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lKTSdpc0go 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. |
olisaEze:This is it for me. Minister was ill advised, otherwise he could also congratulate PBAT, Wizkid, Bobrisky, Obi, Osimhen and others making that list. Is it that we have lost the ability to think critically Our officials don't even think before posting or talking nowadays. |
25 years = 1999 ![]() He became Governor in 1999 |
Momo's Modus Operandi |
Your topic is not complete. (MTN Plans To Launch A Bank in South Africa, After Seeing Success in Nigeria PICTURES) I know your account trolls a lot and tries to bring a rift between Nigerians and South Africans. Unfortunately, from your posts, your ignorance usually shows when you try to sound better than Nigerians. 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. MTN's bank that you think is news is not news to us. I read your article and it is talking about SA. When you throw those childish and foolish jabs at Nigerians, just know that we all need each other. MoMo is in Ghana, Uganda, Afghanistan https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p1Qd5cxuhIg Again, MTN found success in Nigeria and is trying this at home. Corrected

When was the last time we had a presidential media chat ![]() Quote me and you would appreciate this whether you support this government or not. Be apolitical |
APC normalised this. 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. |
They are not soldiers. |
[quote author=ednut1 post=133415679][/quote]You are deflecting from my question. Parents that can hardly control their adult children to marry partners, you are now trying to say they are the ones to blame for an adult being gay? Didn't you see Okupe when his son came out gay? |
ednut1:How old is she? Is she 38 yo? Do your parents still control your life? Are they responsible for your online and offline behaviour? |
TONYE001: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.

Meta will destroy Facebook and people will leave it for another one. It's just a phase. there was a time BBM pin was a big deal. BBM is dead today. Use another platform |
People may not notice and I hate to bring politics here but APC brought this palliative lifestyle to Nigeria. - Minister of Humanitarian Affairs shared cash to poor Nigerians - VP Osinbajo shared money before the 2019 elections - APC government started palliative care during COVID-19 and now it has caught on as a lifestyle 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. |

OkayDaddy: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. |
I know Nigerians in cities are increasingly copying oyinbo lifestyle but I just remembered these stories from UK. I also watch one program, Love Thy Neighbour or something like that where oyinbo neighbours fight over trivial things and kill themselves. We should reduce animosity and not import that alone culture of the West. It will produce more psychos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eyfn-9qYJGU

Stevenbright: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. |
essentialone1: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 day you know your neighbour is the day you get into trouble. |
Congratulations, preface unlocked.

She is right. Let her send it back to him and put screenshots of the return. She should warn him never to do it again. Since the money is too small and she deserves more, it is better to delete anything that disturbs your life. Since she sees other people receiving dollars, I hope she knows how they 'receive' it into her GTB account 🤡

His words; “When I heard of the change of name, I was the first to go to the press and write to the President that UNILAG was established by an Act of Parliament and that for it to be changed, it must also pass through the same process. 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. I wrote to him that that was wrong again. You cannot change the Act when a case is in court.”Chief Afe Babalola, 2012

Eniitankorede:Did you support the renaming of UNILAG to MAULAG? yes or no? |
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. University of Ife - Obafemi Awolowo University University of Lagos - Moshood Abiola University of Lagos Ogun State University (OSU) - Olabisi Onabanjo University Ogun State Polytechnic, Abeokuta - Moshood Abiola Polytechnic Lagos State University - Lateef Jakande University Bauchi State University Gadau - Sa'adu Zungur University (SAZU) Kano State University of Science and Technology (KUST), Wudi - Aliko Dangote University of Science and Technology (ADUST), Wudil. Federal University of Technology Umudike - Michael Okpara University (MOU) Federal University of Technology, Yola - Modibbo Adama University of Technology Katsina State University - Umaru Musa Yar'adua University (UMYU) Northwest University Kano - Yusuf Maitama Sule University Kano University of Ilorin - Sheikh Alimi ibn Solihu ibn Janta University Kwara State University - Olusola Saraki University University of Sokoto - Usmanu Danfodiyo University, Sokoto Anambra State University - Chukwuemeka Odumegwu Ojukwu University University of Nigeria - Queen Elizabeth University of Nigeria UNN, they are still coming for you folks because they wanted to rename it after Ojukwu. Maybe Tinubu will rename it after Buhari when he is 83 ![]() Quote this post (not everything) if you have any proposed or concluded name change to any of our institutions. Life is funny. In 2012, Mr Tinubu suggested that Jonathan find something else to rename MKO Abiola after, not UNILAG. Chief Afe Babalola cited the unconstitutionality of the change. Even Wole Soyinka chastised the President for renaming UNILAG and not consulting with the people if they wanted it. What has happened? ![]()

richiemcgold:I don't believe anyone 100% but if you go by his story, he planned this event. 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. |
Heavily pregnant? What does that mean OP ![]() A woman is bringing 2 human beings out of her body for you but you are still considering whether to marry her. This is why women go mad. If you were in her shoes, ask yourself the question you are asking us. Without you in her life, she has become a widow. And if you are alive but leave her alone, you are a deadbeat. |
