fatboyslym007: You are definitely mixing up HEROES and VILLAINS... Were you fortunate enough to read comics when you were younger? If not just google DC heroes and villains. They are both powerful but one uses it power for good, defending the weak, fighting for justice. They usually have a code of conduct creed they always confess and say (Check Green lantern). These are called Heroes...
While Villain use their powers for evil... Bro don't just cram. Read bro Read wide...
I will let you go, but next time, you should have paid attention to when I say it is subjective.
If it was up to me, the whole African continent, not just Nigeria would be reset to it's true components (now called ethnic groups) and let's run a united states of Africa. This is what Kwame Nkrumah wanted to do but didn't realize it won't work unless the existing European created structures were destroyed first.
Only followed your argument since you asked why should we accept what is composed by a foreigner. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. If you can't accept the anthem, you should also not accept the name Nigeria, its creation and a government not created by Africans and for Africans...We should return to the Songhai empire, etc.
fatboyslym007: Bro the Arise O Compatriots was once our national symbol. The fact that I prefer the Nigeria we hail thee, does not mean I should disrespect that symbol of Nigeria...
The labour of our heroes past shall never be in vain... Is a powerful clause
Heroes are subjective. There are past heroes who stood for something clandestine and wicked, and they are heroes to some people too. Hence, their labour should also not be in vain. No wonder this country is whatever goes.
musicwriter: If the president so much love to replace the national anthem; why can't he call for entries for a new one written by Nigerians?
I read things like this and I begin to wonder whether there's something wrong with the brain of the black man on the African continent.
Why should a so called independent country adopt a national anthem written by a foreigner? I wonder why no matter how so called high we may achieve but the brain is still in chains!! Is this the way the black race would remain forever?
And why should you accept a country almagamated by foreigners?
annyplenty: Elderly persons loved the old anthem because that was what they were first used to before switching to the new one. At times, switching to something new you have to learn can be challenging. Tell me, how many of the elderly ones can recite the new anthem. This answer is few because they didn't want to switch.
Placed side by side, the new anthem is by far superior to the old one, in terms of content and composition and Nigeria' current realities.
It talks about the sacrifices of past heroes, it calls for service, it addresses the youth, it asks help from Gof and talks about unity
Which sacrifice of past heroes. An anthem that wants to erode identity, not showing the diverse realities we have as a nation.
You can see a military wash paint all over it. Nigeria's call obey....it's like a force anyway, come and do what you don't want to do.
It's not today I have been hearing primary and secondary schools students say,
"To serve Nigeria is not by force". Where did that come from?
From the anthem, of course. Meaning there is something about it that reeks "compulsion".
fatboyslym007: I think it is a sign of great changes... Some people especially the older generation believed the Arise O Compatriots anthem (old) brought a curse on Nigeria...
One thing we can't take away from Tinubu is his boldness... Call him stupid, slowpoke, etc.
I would rather follow the bold than those trying to please the crowds...
It tells me there is something He is seeing, there is something he wants to get at and he wants Nigeria and Nigerians to see...
Our banner shall be a symbol that peace and justice reign... To hand to our children a banner without stain. (powerful Anthem)
To build a nation where no one is oppressed.
Dem no like that one
Na arise o compatriots dem like wey be like anthem for goats dem dey force go yidi, ileya praying ground.
twosquare: They are sending a message to you guys, and some on this thread can't even pick the signals.
We are going back to the 60s folks...
Restructuring knocks at the door.
The first day they mentioned changing the national anthem...I saw a symbolism...but many people now saying is that what is next can't see it.
That's when I know Nigerians that desire change and clamouring for restructuring of the country are not even wise... mumu plenty for Nairaland and beyond.
Always following bandwagon thoughts...decode hidden messages to the acts of the rulers of this present world...nadah....
Person wey just start trading dey learn ICT, bragging and talking like say he is the only knowledgeable one...he is talking of what has been known since when...when you see people talking here and there, and not hitting the spot, that's a maradona...we dey wait patiently for am even though we know his agenda...
What a funny dude!
iLegendd: You're too desperate to talk. You have an agenda. I hate the fact I'm giving you attention.
Small fractional reserve banking system you know and the market being based on time and price, we won't rest again.
Because of what you know, people shouldn't know other things again? You're too delusional. If it's not your way, there is no other way. Na your type pastor go convince say Heaven is the only goal and you'll stop your children from going to school or learning new skills just to follow you go service every minute.
Since everything here is wrong, what is the solution in less than 4 lines? Don't write epistle as usual. Just tell us in 4 lines what we need to do.
What is the solution? Explain in a lay man's language. Stop talking about the history of fractional reserve banking and beating around the bush with price and time.
Just because I quoted you once in the past, you've been quoting every comments I make here as retaliation.
This your oversabi go really benefit us. The first African to know about fractional reserve banking and time and price.
We, your students, are all loyal. Remember, every success has an atom of luck and those who are prepared benefit from it the most. My post is a preparation for those lucky days, not a guarantee for success because after being lucky, people do get greedy and lose everything. There is always loss in every industry when greed overshadows luck.
What is the solution, Master?
If you don't tell us the one and only solution, keep shut forever with your price and time and fractional reserve banking talk as if you're the only one in the world who knows about them.
Honestly, you're annoying to engage. I feel you're the same person as Azaman. He has been quiet, so I suspect he's using his IAmHim1 account. Two of you have the same level of stubbornness and ITK in common.
APC is good with infrastructure but not with the economy, and PDP is good with the economy but not with infrastructure. The APC economy doesn't trickle down to the masses; only big companies make gains.
Eeyah...ETC is a volatile coin even when not in an upsurge. It can drop from like 25 to 18 with one stupid spike like that to take you out. Not advisable with high leverages.
Spot will give you rest of mind, but you need substantial capital.
seanwilliam: Tbh I don’t think any coin will x50 for this bull run .. make e no be say highest we go see na x5 That’ll be extremely heartbreaking ., I think crypto is more popular now and might not live up to the hype again..
Maybe CEX coins, but not DEX or degen. Most of mind blowing and life-changing coins will start from there before spilling over into CEX.
iLegendd: It seems you don't like dreaming big. $10 is all you need for 10 lambos. Make all of us mad together.
Though, if all I have is $100, I'll use $50 on a dangerous leverage when the market is on 5 greens and keep the other $50 for the second and third stages of the 5 greens.
In this bullrun, it has a great chance of turning to $5k. Chinese Lambo without engines won't be a bad idea. So, yes, you can buy Lambos with it.
iLegendd: Wow wow wow! I just realized, after days of research, that ETC is the only coin you need to be rich this bullrun. Final answer and it's a financial advice. Period! This coin will take just 2-3 days to hit its previous ATH the day it will be ready to move.
I want to use $100 to drive Lambo...Is it possible?
turmacs: shebi as the guy has successfully scattered the marriage now he is happy? Look at how he just scattered years and years of happiness with the lady, just because of ordinance DNA test, shior 😒..
musicwriter: Including the Eri, all moved from West to East.
Yorubas and Igbos used to be one ethnic group or maybe clan in the dim period of human history, probably several thousands or even millions of years ago. But at some point, they partied ways.
Igbo (meaning forest in Yoruba) didn't pop up from nowhere throughout Yorubaland. Those were Igbo clan residential areas, in fact, I've found Igbos everywhere all over Africa.
Now, I am not saying that igbos came from Yorubas or that Yorubas came from Igbos. All I am saying is that they used to be one clan a very long time ago in human history. But they partied ways.
It appears that Igbo's have always been travelers from time immemorial. I've traced them to Namibia, Ivory Coast, Ghana, etc.
More details in my upcoming book: what is Satan? What is Lucifer? The biggest secret in the world
Eboes (See Olaudah Equiano) or Ibos... Present day now use Igbo for whatever reason is known to them.
That they share the same Anglo-Latin letters does not connote the same thing. And it was done in the 1970s. I know why, but I won't say it.
Igbó - Bush/forest (or weed). Tonal marks. It's different from the tribe's name.
In Yorùbá's suffixation to towns, it describes a town situated in the forest.
seanwilliam: Omo why be say na only USA Dey control the world .. anything wey dem say or do will affect you no matter who you are or what you do .
Because that is the current defacto empire we have now like Rome.
... While China And Russia have their influence, but they haven't quite come to an agreement to create a currency that's quite influential.
He who has the money dictates the tune. The Anglo-American empire, with the Jews, has got the financial system in their palms, and that's why they are agitated with cryptocurrencies, which to an extent, level the field.
However, the cabals of this world want it so, but the West don't want to let go, that's why they may collapse their world.
The beast of every empire must first be slain on the altar as a sacrifice to the god of this world for another beast to rise.
Cryptocurrencies have its bright and dark or dystopian side too. The tech is still at its infancy. Soon, we will experience some sci-fi kind of level shi.t, coupled with AI now on the scene, as regards trade, credits, etc.
For another world to come as a new phase with mind-blowing development and strange improvement, the empire ruling must go down.
iLegendd: God will bless Satoshi Nakamoto for inventing cryptocurrency, or at least, creating BTC. Even though I have lost money in the game, I don't want to loud my profit too.
There is just this sense of power I get knowing that I can send someone money at $1 fee or free despite where they are in the world and they'll receive it in 1-5 minutes without the government scrutinizing me and the bank charging me a huge transaction fee, yet the money will arrive 7 days later after stressing myself going to the bank countless times, being on the queue or getting restricted on my bank app for sending such an amount.
Anybody wey dey into tech, but never embrace crypto or sending money through it na **** sha. You don't know the favor the universe has done for you with such technology.
This aspect is what brought me into crypto then, when I heard you can send money to anyone and receive it within minutes. As a freelancer, I know you can relate to what PayPal and Payoneer used our eyes see in those early days. You withdraw from ATM, and it's fees upon fees...
Why businesses then were not quick to accept it then was the tech being characterized as an hub for illegal activities. I even contacted Bit/stamp then to see how I can enrol LTC as a payment system into my business.
My only pain now is that I didn't know what a bull run is and all the knowledge I have now. Didn't engage enough.
Damn it, I knew when BTC was $600...and I contemplated if to buy some, but Nairaland also discouraged, some calling it a scam with their voice being the loudest then (we still have them now on this platform. Those who will stop you from making generational wealth). Then Nairaland put up a thread to say it is bann/ed.
Anyway, I thank God for life and everything, as I've been able to see less darkly. Everything in life is seasonal.
