Tutoring gives students individualized attention that they don’t get in a crowded classroom. This helps children who struggle to keep up, as well as those who aren’t challenged enough. It also keeps students on track during breaks from school, such as during March Break, or during the summer.

Prigozin is the most foolish personality of the 21st century.

Putin sent an airstrike to kill him, he survived it.
He then sent assassins and Prigozin cheated death a second time.

There are only 2 rational response to those attacks, either run for your life
or fight back.

Prigozin chose to fight back by invading Russia.
That was a brilliant power move because most capable Russian soldiers are in Ukraine.
He would have overrun the capital within a day or 2 and shark oligarchs will rally round
him to install a new leader.

But he got deceived by Belarus president Lukashenko, who is a known ass-licker of Putin.
Lukashenko, the only president in the world who goes to pay homage to another country's ruler every weekend.

Any student of Sun Tzu or Machievalli knows that a smart and ruthless emperor like Putin will
never forgive such rebellion.

Prigozin who talks more than he can think hoped that he can eat his cake and still have it
because of a deal Lukashenko promised him.

Putin once again shows why he has been in power for 24 years unchallenged.

This death is a clear message to any dissent within Russia. Fall in line or die.

DoctorAyukebot:
I admire men like Prigozhin who outsmart the limitations placed by society. Western media seldom talks about him in a sentence without mentioning his juvenile past of fraud and robbery, that landed him a 12 years sentence in the 80's.

It is not his juvenile years of crime I admire, but how he was able to reposition himself into society as a food seller in kiosks on the streets of Moscow, to owner of luxurious chain of restaurants that hosted Putin and foreign dignitaries. Consequently he morphed himself from a petty crime boss to a lucrative businessman that fed the Kremlin and Russia's baracks, accruing billions of dollars in contracts from the Russian state. All this through Putin's patronage.

There is no denying with little to no military formation he extended his prowess in business to the Wagner Private Military Company that put Russia on the map of modern warfare tactics albeit brutality. However the day he saw of himself as the butterfly who had grown into a vulture, big enough to spill the blood of Russian pilots cos of grievances he could have directly hot lined Putin, was the end of the road for him. Lesson learned, Everyone has got a limit

Despite publicly declaring his mutiny was against military chiefs and not Putin, he outrightly placed the latter in a position of weakness that was masturbated by Western media for weeks. Whether Putin directly or indirectly has a hand in his demise yesterday, he has repositioned his image as a no nonsense dictator capable of taking his pound of flesh whenever and however.

Whether you are Pro or Anti Putin, the lesson here is Never Bite the Finger that Fed You

The Worst Mistake of All: Outshining the Master

“Being defeated is hateful, and besting one’s boss is either foolish or fatal. Most people do not mind being surpassed in good fortune, character, or temperament, but no one, especially not a sovereign, likes to be surpassed in intelligence.”

— Baltasar Gracián


In The 48 Laws of Power, Robert Greene echoes the sentiments of Gracián’s quote above in the first law: Never Outshine the Master.

Greene writes:

Always make those above you feel comfortably superior. In your desire to please or impress them, do not go too far in displaying your talents or you might accomplish the opposite – inspire fear and insecurity. Make your masters appear more brilliant than they are and you will attain the heights of power.

Outshining the master is the worst mistake of all …

Everyone has insecurities. When you show yourself in the world and display your talents, you naturally stir up all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity. This is to be expected. You cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others. With those above you, however, you must take a different approach: When it comes to power, outshining the master is perhaps the worst mistake of all.

Almost everyone, including you, wants to seem more brilliant than we rightly deserve. And we don’t like people to remind us of our fallibility.

Those who attain high standing in life are like kings and queens: They want to feel secure in their positions, and superior to those around them in intelligence, wit, and charm. It is a deadly but common misperception to believe that by displaying and vaunting your gifts and talents, you are winning the master’s affection. He may feign appreciation, but at his first opportunity he will replace you with someone less intelligent, less attractive, less threatening..

Putin boys will fear him more now.

Chicago is the bedrock of drug trafficking, so most of the donations to CSU is from drug traffickers. And if you think because its Yankee they don't do University runs there, then you're sadly mistaken. Every now and then American colleges are busted for university admission racketeering. And as for ExxonMobil hiring him, did you see him there. Look, real graduates do not go into politics. They get jobs and further their careers. It's not impossible that ExxonMobil will lie that Balabu worked for them.

I normally don't like to side with oyinbo outsiders, but if I was to choose between whose numbers were more accurate, I would choose JP Morgan.

And look at this gem of tongue twisting:


If I have 20M in my account and am owing someone 13M, even if payable in a few years, I will still keep in mind that I have 13M outstanding. Even on a simple accounting balance sheet the 13M will show as a liability (not an asset). If I use 13M loan to build a business, then I count that business as asset, which balances out the 13M. If I just keep the 13M as case in my bank as asset, it still cancels out the liability.

Either way boo, I have 7M net assets today. My hope is that the 13M asset will grow enough or give off enough cashflow to make the loan worth it.

Unless the dear governor is implying that the person with 20M and no loan, is at the same balance as the person with 20M and 13M loan.

I think you are missing the whole point. The official market which is being called Importers and Exporters Window doesn't even have enough supply of dollars at official rates. There is limited supply of dollars in the country and the demand is high. CBN doesn't print dollar notes. So what do you think should happen? Most of the demand are now being diverted to the black market.
It is not about GREED.

you can't do fight things like that.. It's a very useless worthless crusade.. Best way to run them out of business is to play their game and cut their prices by selling and buying at their rates.. Why would I buy $ from aboki or sell to aboki when the price is the same in the bank?

Truth is that there is an activated Cold War between the USA and Russia and Russia has been at the tail end of that war however with global economic events it’s become clear that the USA is weak and Russia wants to capitalize on this by getting out of the shadow of the USA and creating a new economic global power with the new emerging economic powerhouse China hence BRICS so as to get away from the dollar because that dollar has undue advantage to America who just print it anyhow and devalue global assets by unchecked printing of the dollar and causing global hyperinflation.


And so the war to dislodge the USA by Russia is twofold, one is to get as many countries away from the dollar as possible and hence America will have to show its economic strength not by printing more dollars but by what it actually produces which is nothing because all its production has been outsourced to China. Basically America is on its last legs and Russia smells it. The second way is to dislodge America and it’s Allies from the places where they get undue advantage by exploiting poor countries eg the uranium from Niger is bought by America and France at dirt cheap prices hence undue advantage. Russia wants to end America’s undue advantage all over Africa with the dirt cheap exploitation minerals they get from Africa and it does this with the mercenary arm of the Russian army under prigozhin called the Wagner group who have now kicked out France from Mali and Burkina Faso and Niger by kicking out France and America backed Bazoum and in the process are leaving a trail of rebellious beret wearing pro Russian pro Wagner presidents all across west Africa. Is tinubu next ? Is that why he is scared because he knows he is next if he continues to support the west ? Is that why tinubu is going on this counter offensive first before they come for him ? Is that why he retired all the generals ?

Will prigozhin come for tinubu next in the quest for mother Russia to emerge out of the shadows of America ? The new world order .

The last becoming the first . The global transition . Is tinubu next and is that why he is on the counter offensive. Strike first

I wanted to post a response here yesterday just before the breaking news came in that Prigozhin had passed on OR dropped his physical body in an Embraer jet crash flying from Moscow to St. Petersburg with other close lieutenants.


@Sukkot, you have an uncanny and surreal way of analysing certain events. How come you created this thread just a few hours before the plane crash? (His recovered physical body is in the morgue right now).

You definitely got a strong metaphysical nudge to create this thread just before events unfolded. The final interpretation of the sequence of events is all that was left! Only the deep will perceive or understand the deep.

I remember how since 2022 you were emphatic in saying that Tinubu would win theNigerian Presidency, and he did!

So, it seems President Tinubu's aura metaphysically is strong with a higher state of vibration for the Wagner Group factor led by Prigozhin to have been obliterated. Wagner is actually a private mercenary group NOT a full arm of the Russian army.


Wagner has been operating in Mali since the young military dudes expelled French troops from Mali and right under the noses of Wagner, 3 different criminal Islamist terror groups have seized MORE than HALF of Mali, so this says a lot about the fact that if Africa and world military powers don't unite, these mad Islamist groups would fully seize Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso, Chad, Northern Nigeria, Ghana, Benin, etc, with their evil Salafist ideologies!

Another Yoruba man won a major election to represent Umuahia people in Abia state. But these primitive people rejected GRV because his mother is Igbo?! They also attacked Igbos and other Nigerians that look like Igbos just to stop them from voting?!

the problem is if you go against black market it will have a political problem, most of the black marketers are northerners any government that seek to prosecute them will have issues, best way to run them out of business is to buy and sell at their price.. Same way petrol black marketers have gone out of business, they will also go out of business, if the I & Ẹ window is maintained and the naira is not truly floats with markets forces determining the price, it will be open to round tripping as speculations hence it's fall also.

Wow! I remember every year —- Christmas into new year being packed into a Peugeot 505 from Lagos to Ile IFE for the holidays. We had a fridge in our room for drinks but that clay pot was were we drank water from .
The water there was cooler and colder than the one in the fridge. I used to hate people drinking from the cup directly and when I grew tired to complaining , I just dipped my cup and went on my way.
Times were better back then and family was all that mattered.
What nostalgia you have evoked !!!!

Imagine back then when there’s no phone to update each other of your whereabouts, how did we managed to survive that era? 🤔😂I remembered always going to our neighbors house to receive phone ☎️ with landline 📞 waiting for uncles abroad to call sometimes we can’t even get the call, Nitel were feeling like demigod then, y’all should be grateful to those who brought modern technologies life has really changed

Putin said it one time that the only thing he does not forgive is betrayal. I already knew Prigozhin was a walking dead man after the unsuccessful coup two months ago.

The game of power is one where trust, loyalty and obedience are the most expensive commodity. You can commit all the sin on earth, but never commit the above.

If you do, make sure you eliminate the person you offend, otherwise, you just signed your death warrant.
