Crime / Re: Suspected Yahoo Boy Dies After Money Rituals In Ogun - PHOTO by wowo2: 11:54am On Apr 09, 2022
This happens quite often. What happens is a chairman is asked by his baba to bring someone to use for the process. He might be finding it difficult to get someone but then along comes a friend telling him about his own struggles. Chairman then sees the opportunity to complete his own job by lying to his friend that he can take him to see his baba for help.

Education / Re: Russia Offers University Admission To Nigerian Students Stuck In Ukraine by wowo2: 10:30am On Mar 20, 2022
Just as Russia is now recruiting from the Syrian Army, they want many foreigners in their country too. Is there something they think is eventually going to happen to them that they would like foreigners to experience? If Russia says it is daybreak, you should look out of the window to confirm.
Celebrities / Re: What Exactly Is The Significance Of Cross Over Night? – Charly Boy by wowo2: 12:36pm On Jan 01, 2022
Live and let live. It has probably just over time, become tradition. It reminds me of how many European churches will have their congregation wait after Sunday service for tea and biscuits so that they can meet one another. Many Nigerian churches in diaspora have picked the tradition up and serve jollof rice or meat pie and drinks after service - will be nice if it is done every Sunday grin

Nigerian churches are free to hold any day or night church service including crossover if they want to. Oyinbo churches don’t do it. Even night vigils are strange and sound ridiculous to them. It is not their cup of tea.

Education / Re: Michael Was A School Father For Sylvester, He Is Innocent — Kashamu’s Family by wowo2: 9:02am On Dec 06, 2021
So why did “school-father” relationship stop? Ah yes I know. It is always because the son craves independence and no longer wants to be used and directed by the father to do chores that the father should be doing by himself. So if the relationship broke down, father now hates son. So more reason he will be part of the culprits..

Education / Re: ASUU Rejected N1m Undergraduate School Fees - Osodeke by wowo2: 9:23am On Oct 30, 2021
I don’t understand why we cannot try other ideas. There are different solutions that we can amend to suit Nigeria.

In the Uk, every student that is a citizen automatically qualifies for student loan if they want one. The loan body pays the school fees directly to the schools and the students also get money for their upkeep each term or year. The upkeep part even gives them more than enough to live on but in Nigeria, parents and families can still handle this.

There are pros and cons. Some students never pay back all or part of the loan because the loan will only start being deducted from their salaries if they get jobs that are above a certain salary amount. Students become indebted for many years. A positive is that universities have funds that they need.

As we are talking Nigeria, we will need laws that will make sure any corrupt person diverting or stealing loan money meant for students should be made to pay it back and go to jail for 50 years.

Politics / Re: Dino Melaye, Senator Ifeanyi Uba And Osita Chidoka Together In Class (Pictures)) by wowo2: 8:26am On Oct 25, 2021
Of course I can't speak to the credibility of degrees awarded at baze University but all I can talk to is the complete overhaul that Nigeria and its democracy needs.

Every thing in that country is bastardized. From health sector to power(electricity); from formal education to artisanship, no area is left untouched. The depth of mediocrity in every area in Nigeria is bottomless.

The mantras of "technology transfer" or "no need to reinvent the wheel" are not applicable to us. When Asian countries like China are accused by the west of intellectual property theft, at least they are modifying the ideas and technologies to either suit them better or improve on them.

Governance is shambolic, to say the least least. When we embraced western ideas and technologies all we do is turn it on its head or destroy it. Even their idea of democracy we were sold is not what we have in our country.

Who is to blame? Nigerians and the total failure of leadership over many decades that is still going on. We need to make Political office holders work for us. We must make governance about service and ideas and make it undesirable and unprofitable to those who see politics as a means of employment.

PropaMan:
Thats a good thing, but what is the range? if its up to 250 mile per charge then its fine, You dont need a constant power supply to charge an EV, 30 mins - 1hr is enough to change an EV, yes there is no electricity in Nigeria, but a lot of you should have installed solar panels by now if you can afford it, if you're still using Generator that's your fault, even Solar is the future of energy generation. Although Nigerian government should be able to give grants for solar panels since they can't solve the electricity issue in the country.

I like your optimism. It takes a lot of planning and dedication to allocate 30 mins to 1 hour for charging every 200 miles. This is at high powered rapid charges. The common fast chargers you can charge overnight because it takes 7 to 8 hours.

Until these people start making battery packs that are removable...forget it. It will be worse in Nigeria. You need to charge it too often you start to wish you could just fit in a new battery, leave the used one at home to charge and keep on moving. This is going to be very tough in Nigeria. I am talking from experience. Fine, you can get the charging pod installed in homes but still, the frequency at which you charge it even if it is overnight is just too much. Only when you start to think you are spending less than petrol or diesel is when you calm your mind down. You don’t spend as much time worrying about an ICE petrol or diesel car. Except you only want to drive a few minutes a day.

There is something deeply wrong with our leadership. They instantly condemn criticism as hatred. Listen to criticism and correct your ways if you are in error: otherwise ignore such. I think it is all down to the fact that they believe they can’t solve Nigeria’s problems and agree that they are clueless. So when criticism comes they start flailing. The MOG is after all the same man that supported Nigerian dictators at one point or the other, so ignore him or take anything constructive from his criticism.

Religion / Re: Pastor Chris Oyakhilome: It's Not Trump That They Hate, It's You, The Christians by wowo2: 8:09am On Nov 08, 2020
In Luke 10:25-37, the parable of a Good Samaritan, Jesus implored us - Love your neighbour as yourself - and He demonstrated to us in the parable that we do this not only when it is convenient for us. Your neighbour does not have to be another Christian..it includes people who do not look or think like you do. Christians that see child separations and banning of particular people from entering the USA or clear hatred of the other and are OK with it although as a society, are able to assist are like the haves or the rich that Jesus refers to when he said - in Mark 10:25, “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

I don’t get it. How will there be if they have no such grievances...Please feel free to lecture me on their frustrations especially on killings of white people disproportionately in the hands of law enforcement then we can analyze why they are not having protests or riots to the same level.

These people you are worshipping are the ones who get together in mobs of hundreds to lynch black people in the USA as recently as the 20th century. Heard of the black Wall Street massacre in the USA?

And yes, race matters here because it is a race-induced riot.
Foreign Affairs / Re: President Trump Gets Censored On Twitter For His Tweet Threatening Americans by wowo2: 3:10pm On May 30, 2020
People will protest for varying reasons and there will be different levels of grievances and frustration levels. Aside the fact that people with ulterior motives will join in demonstrations, riots can be an extreme also for ordinary people who feel angry and hopeless.

Race does not matter. I am sure you are aware that Revolutions by ordinary people leading to horrible massacre and decimation of royal families and those in authority have happened in “white” countries.

What I'd like to know is if this also happens in white dominated protests in the US.
