Sleeping in a Coffin?

Point of correction, I do not sleep in a casket, I sleep on my bed, it's big and comfy, I only lay in my "casket"when I do my meditation because it helps me to be focused, it tells me more about the Imminence of death. My casket is a reminder. It wakes me up from slumber. It tells me, "guy, you have got little or no time left, wake up, be creative and work".

Of course, when I read some of the comments of my people, I know a good number of us are ill-informed about quite a number of things. I think it is more of what the casket represents that shocks my people and they start reading meanings into it, depending on their level of understanding. But one question is, what if the same wood that was used to build the casket was used to make a sofa chair?
May be, all the hullabaloo about me sitting on a chair wouldn't have been there in the first place? So when people vocalize their disapproval of my message via the image of a casket, I understand that they do that from a position of Fear, fear of what the casket represents - Death. So whatever people fear they antagonize. But, the fact that I have reminded myself and even you about death does not really change a thing.It won't draw your death near, and it won't even shift it away. All it does is simply a reminder, to thread carefully.

Announcement! All tot and eve fans should leave this thread without delay. This is the last warning.

omenka: What a dead mushroom u are. At what point did people start comparing number of mourners? What purpose does that serve when one is dead

dougivilla: Let’s move beyond Buhari & co. - Dagogo
Josiah River State.

**He was there in the era of former US
Presidents Jimmy Carter and Ronald
Reagan and still see No reason to leave
the stage.

Four persons have taken too much of our political space. The first is Olusegun
Obasanjo. Ibrahim Babangida is another. David Mark is the third and Muhammadu Buhari may be the fourth.

What new vision does Buhari have? He
should arrange the merger and go home. There’s so much good intellectual energy to deploy, yesterday’s men have tried for the country, there should be forward movement.

When Buhari was Head of State,
President Barack Obama was in High
School. Americans have since stopped talking of Jimmy Carter and Ronald Reagan. Nigeria needs change too.

Jimmy Carter was the 39th President of
the United States Jan. 20, 1977.
Ronald Wilson Reagan was the 40th
President of the United States January
20, 1981 – January 20, 1989. - Punch
News!

Me thinks this is a manifestation of failure of leadership. A 'success' without a successor is a failure in disguise.

What are we still doing recycling the Anenihs, Atikus, Ciromas, Buharis, Tinubus, Gemades, Ekwuemes,Tukurs, Tom Ikimis,Falanas, Objs, Elechis, David Marks, IBBs, Bode Georges, Soyinkas, Ahmadu Alis, etc etc of this worlds in Nigeria? Are there no youths that can take over from them? Why do we always prefer to be at each others' throats rather than come together to dislodge these group of principalities that have held us bound and down, since almost forever?

When will the youths actually wake up to take the bull by the horn? We just can't sit idly and allow these old war horses continue to dictate our lives and leave us with just enough crumbs to keep us at loggerheads, while they take advantage to their benefits the imaginary ethnic and religious divide and sentiments they keep creating. Are we benefitting from thestatus quo?

Enough is enough!

Gbam!!! Please ask my people wella, why they are hell-bent on recycling old wine bags.


When will our generation of the young learn to believe in themselves?? There is so much *low

self-esteem* amongst our nations youths. Why?

phineas: General Buhari has my vote, that of my friends, family and those I will hopefully beg and influence to vote for him 2015 except he endorses another candidate.

put the thread on front page if its statistics you want and see.last election, a lot of young upwardly Christian professionals voted for him. yes in lagos. and theres a lot of us on the net you know, enough to match the gej supporters on nairaland that put us in this mess and are not ashamed.

Don't forget to add the uneducated northerners you all so despise without realizing a solution only comes when you have a leader who takes the bull by the horn and solves the problems of all.

General Muhamadu Buhari (yes that's General to you)has my vote,
2015 cant come soon enough.

*Speechless!*

ladychoice: The niger delta had a course dey were fighting for. Underdevelopment and depraivation even tho over 60percent of d nations wealth was from deir region! Dey whr granted amnesty as a settlement term for years of depraivation in d region.
Boko haram is a faceless group! Hausa uneducated dambo namas trying to prove a stupid point. Dey should all b imprisoned and jailed for life. Amnesty my foot!

Well u have a point there. ND Militants were fighting against the deprivation being meted out on they and their people. But by carrying arms against the Govt? No! Martin Luther King Jr. exhibited a better option of fighting for equality.
Ok, now that the ND Militants, after numerous destructions have been given amnesty, is the South South still better of? And in what sense? Cos i still can see the ills the ND Militants were fighting. Another thing i see is the former militants being fed fat and given juicy contracts by the FG. FALSE?

olokfor: Ilorin – Mr Farouk Akanbi, NLC Chairman in Kwara, has said that Federal Government’s decision to streamline JAMB and NECO will lead to massive job loss in the country.

Akanbi, who made this known in an interview with journalists on Friday, said the decision had both positive and negative implications.

According to him, one of the most negative implications is the thousands of jobs that may be lost as a result of the cancellation of the two examination bodies.

“If JAMB and NECO is scrapped, what will be the fate of the workers of these organisations that are in all the 36 states of the country?” he queried.

Akanbi said government should not rush to streamline the examination bodies without first considering the fate of the workers.

The NLC chairman also said that a lot of things should be put in place before government entrust the responsibility of conducting examinations solely on WAEC.

Akanbi, who is also NUT Chairman in the state, noted that WAEC did not belong to Nigeria alone as it was a body jointly owned by some West African countries.

He noted that it was a good move for Federal Government to streamline the number of agencies in the country.

The NLC chairman, however, said such move should start from the Presidency and National Assembly, as the two bodies took the lion share of the nation’s budget recurrent expenditure.

“We should not just scrap JAMB and NECO. We should request National Assembly to maintain fiscal discipline,” Akanbi said.

He said that reducing the cost of governance should not be done in isolation, but across board.

According to him, Nigerian workers must not be made to suffer government’s decision to reduce cost in governance. (NAN)

I strongly concur with the bolded above. GEJ should first start by pruning down and streamling his ministries, committees, special advisers and advisers. Then the National Assembly should follow suit likewise and also prune the number of their mistresses and call-girls (Not funny!) . These govt officials should prune their travel entourage, put fiscal discipline in-place and so forth.
FG better lead this campaign by leading by example.

But seriously, streamling NECO and JAMB into WAEC is a no-brainer. Competition is good, at least we can see it in the result release time, examination modification and easy online registrations and inquiry of both NECO and JAMB.
