Politics / Is 100 Million Naira Really So Much?! by TUMIC(m): 8:17pm On Mar 02, 2013 |
Have you ever realized that Nigerians generally have no real grasp of how much money our “leaders” are embezzling and laundering? Have you ever thought of how much six hundred & twenty eight million naira, five hundred million naira, two billion naira and other similar massive amounts of money that politicians are frequently accused and proven to steal is worth? Kindly follow my train of thought and bring out a calculator to punch the figures yourselves so that you’ll understand my point fully. According to several widely known and reliable sources, the average Nigerian lives on less than a dollar per day. This means that the average Nigerian makes or survives on about 30 dollars(less than 5000 naira) every month. That means the average Nigerian earns 60 thousand naira per annum. It would take such a person more than 1,500 years to gross 100,000,000.00 naira. For the sake of better clarity and understanding, permit me to adjust that value a bit. If you are reading this, chances are high you are one of the fortunate middle class Nigerians who have access to the internet and own a personal computer or at least have access to one. That means the idea of earning less than 5000 naira monthly is quite unthinkable to you. In fact if you are a working class person, I daresay that you have probably spent 5000 naira yesterday or the last two days combined. As such, you probably earn anywhere within 70, 000 naira to 150,000 naira or more. It doesn’t matter if you do not agree with those figures; I have just chosen them as dummy values to prove my point, just read on and you can tweak the values as much as you wish when you finish reading. Now, picking a random value, let us say, 100,000 naira for ease of calculation. As someone born, bred and still living in Nigeria, I know, that anyone who earns 100,000 naira is doing fairly well for himself; after all, the minimum wage the federal government pays is 18,000 naira! 100,000 naira multiplied by 12 months in a year is 1.2 million naira. Dear reader, do you realize that it will take someone earning 100,000 naira monthly almost 90 years to gross (without deductions) 1 hundred million naira. Do you “overstand” what I’m saying yet? Okay, let try a higher figure just for the sake of better comprehension- a 500,000 naira salary. A 5 hundred thousand naira salary is “as good as it gets” in Nigeria, yet even an individual earning so much earns just 6 million naira per annum. This means it will take such an individual about 17 years of toiling and hard work to gross 1 hundred million naira. Let’s even get wild about it, say someone who earns 1 million naira monthly (Let’s be honest with ourselves, how many people earn so much? How many people do you personally know who earn so much?). That person will earn 12 million naira yearly and gross 1 hundred million naira after 9 long years. I hope we haven’t forgotten that those figures are gross figures i.e. no deductions were made. This is apparently an impossible situation as every human being has to satisfy his/her basic and not-so-basic human needs and responsibilities of feeding, housing, clothing, transportation, providing quality education to his/her children, taking care of extended family members, giving to charity and religious institutions, entertainment and the plethora of activities that we engage in as humans. An objective calculation will show that it is quite frankly, almost impossible to save more than 20% of annual income, especially for low income earners whose salary cannot even meet up with their expenses. My point in summary is this, our leaders are “swallowing”, both through legal and illegal means amounts of money that will take the average and even well to do Nigerian 3 or 4 lifetimes to net. I took a look at the proposed budget for 2013 and of course as typical with our “budgets”. Even the most meager things hit the hundred million naira mark. For example, the President wants to spend over 200 million naira on refreshments and meals while his Vice wants over 100 million naira- just for one year! I’m also sure that we remember that the expenditure to maintain the garden in Aso rock was about 200 million naira. These are amounts of money we have shown that it would take multiple lifetimes for the everyday Nigerian to gross, yet these amounts are been “swallowed” daily in the corners of power within minutes. I hope that by recognizing this facts, we would understand why our leaders are so insulated from the suffering of the general populace (They are too comfortable, way too comfortable) and appreciate better how much we are been ripped off when next we hear a politician has “swallowed’ any amount running into hundreds of millions of naira. Politicians gross hundreds of millions in one day, it will take you & me several lifetimes to do the same. “One day, bush meat go catch the hunter……”

Religion / Mysterious Disease With-symptoms Of Demonic Possession striking Young Women by TUMIC(m): 7:21pm On Mar 02, 2013 |
Mysterious disease with symptoms of demonic possession striking young women A mysterious disease condition known as “anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis” that exhibits symptoms similar to demonic possession is increasingly striking young women in the United States of America. Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is described as a definitively neurological conditionwith an external cause. A recent CBS report revealed that young women who develop the condition may act normally one minute, and the next minute develop extreme paranoia or an inability to control their limbs, which experts admit is a result of antibodies attacking the brain, causing swelling and inflammation. Two young women from the New England area are cited in the story as having suffered from the condition in recent years, which resulted in both of them developing extreme and bizarre side effects such as uncontrollable seizures, drastic mood changes, paranoia, and an inability to function and communicate properly. And the one thing the two had in common was brain inflammation so severe that one prominent area doctor described it as the brain literally being “on fire.” The women’s experience with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis was described as “bizarre” and “abnormal”. One woman who relayed her experience said : “I was a relatively normal person, then the next minute I’m hallucinating and insisting that my father had kidnapped me.” Another woman who suffered from extreme side effects as a result of the condition said “I was very paranoid and manic. There was something wrong. I thought trucks were following me.” Anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis is said to be an inflammatory and “mysterious” condition with no known cause or cure. Further investigation exposes vaccines as a likely cause of the condition which, as it turns out, can even occur in young boys. In a review on Anti-NMDA Receptor Encephalitis, Teresa Conrick from AgeOfAutism.com explains how a 2010 study published in the Journal of Neurology identified a link between the condition and vaccines. Not surprisingly, symptoms of anti- NMDA receptor encephalitis were observed to appear not long after children received routine vaccinations and booster shots, suggesting a likely connection. “We report about a 15-year-old female patient who was diagnosed with anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis after receiving a booster vaccination against tetanus / diphtheria / pertussis and polio (TdaP-IPV),” wrote the authors of the study in a letter to the editors. “The onset of prodromal symptoms shortly after the immunization is intriguing and suggests the vaccination as a possible trigger of anti-NMDA receptor encephalitis. Therefore, not only infectious agents and tumor antigens but also vaccines should be considered as a possible trigger of immune response in this recently described disorder.”
