''My COVID-19 vaccination appointment and wild thoughts thereof.

To get a COVID-19 vaccination appointment in Connecticut (CT) you had to wake up very early, 4 am, to go online to register. I learned that fact the hard way, yet by serendipity. After waiting for the elderly, the sick and the medical/emergency front liners to take their rightful turn at vaccination, it finally got to my turn last week, based on my age group. Since then, I have tried all the websites listed for vaccination in the state, to no avail. I put my name and the next thing it says ''fully booked''. Then I thought to myself hm! I hope it is not what I am thinking! I have heard news of how Americans are being vaccinated at different rates based on their race. Your race is one of the questions you had to answer while filling the forms. So, my mind immediately went there. To test that hypothesis, I did what many African American job seekers do when they sense racism in their inability to land jobs that they applied for. I EXPERIMENTED with a different last name and race; my first name being English, that was easy. I typed in an English sounding last name and changed my race. Lo and behold it did not yield a different outcome than when I used my Igbo last name and my true race. After several permutations of different English last names without success. I went to bed, frustrated.

This morning I woke up early about 4 am, to complete some assignments before heading out to work. I thought okay let me give it another try. When I did using my real names and race, more than 50 open appointment schedules popped up. I selected the closest one to my house and Pronto, I have an appointment for tomorrow for my first shot of the Moderna vaccine, and sometime in April for my second one.

Lesson of the day: time makes the difference, sometimes. It could be the only thing keeping us from attaining our pursuits. Sometimes it is only frustration that drives us into different wild thoughts. I hoped there is no racism in vaccine administration in CT. But what should I be thinking when I am unable to get an appointment after trying for several days, and given what is on the news in many other places? Nevertheless, it was good that I kept my wild thoughts to myself until proven to be what it was: wild thoughts. I should realize that there is a deluge of applicants waiting to be vaccinated and some just wait on their computer to snap up any available appointment. Time waits for no man; man waits for time. Good luck when you get vaccinated.''

Wait a minute. Is their tribalism section here?
Lol

yes https://www.nairaland.com/racism-tribalism

I wrote this post in 2011 and it gathered 11 pages of response. but the moderators moved it to tribalism section because of their short sightedness. Today, the topic has become even more relevant.

Food hoarding or gouging in the North will only affect a lazy South

In Igboland this will be the proceedings of events:

At first we import as a stop gap (so we do not die before we start the new green revolution)
Then we follow up with massive food production using available land in Ebonyi, Enugu and Abia
We augment field crop production with modern technology
Less extensive but more intensive production
We use biotechnology and nanotechnology to improve yield
We use landless farming to supplement the shortfall in land from Imo and Anambra.
We import tse-tse fly resistant cattle and produce our own beef

What would we need the North for in the long run?

Lest we forget too soon

Here are photos from the burial of Nigerian drug mule, (Izuchukwu F. Ezimoha) who was killed after being sentenced to death over drug related offence in Indonesia. He was laid to rest amid tears at his compound in [b]Ezigbo village, Ihiala LGA of Anambra [/b]state on Thursday, August 18th. His outing service will hold tomorrow in his village.

The drug trafficker had been on death row for years after he was arrested with heroin shortly on arrival to the country.

For me, it is 1 and 6. I have watched those documentaries and they are gross.

There's too much crime culture in the land. I know families who have not heard from their folks in Malaysia for a long time. It is likely those ones are dead. Denying it like some are doing here will not solve the problem, neither would discussing it on Nairaland. Igbos need to work together to restore our dwindling image. If it is so in Nigeria where Yoruba and Hausa are looking (not that they are any better), how would it be in Biafra when nobody is looking?

I am from xxxx State in Alaigbo, and I support the original post. You may post bad pictures of xxxx if you like.

Igbo people are a different breed. Irrepressible. Unsuppressible.

Don't ming that Igbomosho cave dwelling chipmunk

This is very welcome development by this private university. Nigeria should catch its geniuses young.

One would only hope that the Nigerian authorities don't victimize or even arrest the university authorities for disobeying a moribund law

Gregory University awards scholarship to underaged highest scorer in 2019 UTME, one other



The Gregory University Uturu, Okigwe, Abia States says the institution has awarded scholarship to two young lads who got the highest scores in the 2019 Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination.

Chief Gregory Ibe, the Chancellor of the university, announced this in an interview with the News Agency of Nigeria in Aba on Tuesday.

NAN reports that Ekene Franklin, 15, from Imo State and Emmanuel Chidiebube, 16, from Abia State scored the highest and second highest with 347 and 346 respectively in the examination.

However, the Joint Admissions and Matriculations Board Registrar, Prof. Ishaq Oloyede, said Franklin would not be offered admission for being under-aged.

Ibe said: “I have already granted them scholarship by directing my management to go ahead and admit them as soon as their families bring them because what we are modestly doing in our university is to promote excellence.

“And the way we look at things is that there are different levels and types of intelligence.

“You call it gift to a driver who drives for many years without accident.

“There are gifted people with intelligence that can dance and there are those gifted with intelligence to be outspoken persons and there are people that excel in what their peers don’t excel in.

“That is the intelligence we unravel, because today assumed or forced intelligence has always brought backwardness so students go to school and come out but they are unable to find their talent.

“So whenever I see a child with intelligence, I will just promote that.”

The Chancellor said he had been sponsoring the Nigerian Television Authority Science Expo singlehandedly for 15 years, with the aim of fishing out eggheads and talents for Nigeria.

According to Ibe, he awards scholarships to students every year in Science and Engineering courses to develop best talents in the country.

He said that JAMB was unfair to have collected Franklin’s examination registration fee, which established a contract with the body, only to deny him admission even when he showed high level of intelligence.

He said: “And then I said come on, are we not looking for these bright children?

“If nobody helped these bright children it means there is no hope for other younger brighter children in this age of computer in Nigeria.

“They reviewed their result and knew he was 15 years.

“They should not have taken his money, knowing they will deny him admission because of age.

“There are no such rules guiding a private university seeking to promote knowledge at its best.

“They are not in the rules the NUC gave me.

“For the federal universities, those draconian rules they documented in the Act of these universities, it is high time they abrogated them.”

Ibe noted that checks on Google would show that a nine-year-old boy had been given BSC in Mathematics and a 15-year-old received a Ph.D in the US.

He added: “And then I make mention of my own children, two young boys who the Mayor of Bloomberg, New York celebrated for their being exceptional.

“Both of them graduated from medical school before 22 and went to train as specialists in orthopaedic surgery and cardiology and they are now practising in Yale and St. Mary, Connecticut.

“So, I don’t see why I should neglect some other children in this country in that order, which was why I awarded them the scholarship.

“I should have extended it to the third child but I restrained myself so that nobody would say that I want to play to the gallery.”

Ibe said Nigeria needed to review its educational policies in order to benefit every Nigerian with the desire to be educated.

He expressed hope that the National Council on Education would address these issues and change obnoxious rules to ensure flow with the tide in the current artificial intelligence age.

Mods please front page. Thanks

Casptainspecial:
If you hav brain and very conversant with economic report in 2018 and 2019 you will realize that only 2 states in Yoruba land is financing over 22 states in Nigeria that includes some of ur potopoto states despite not even producing oil

Let me quickly bust ur bubble, SW is the most rich and self sufficient nation in Nigeria,

In term of Agriculture we have vast of arable land etc Oyo, Ekiti and Ondo

In term of Natural resources we are massively endowed beyond reasonable doubt e.g Ogun,Lagos nd Oyo nd Ekiti

In term of Industry we ar d only region Nigeria depends on so need to even mention anything as yu already know that SW dominate industry power of Nigeria

SW is not in all ramifications in same class with any Regions in Nigeria

Ur potopoto is b nothing to us thats we dont rush to settle in polluted potopoto region nd ur people rush in masses to settle where they can hav a better life

That's precisely the point. Why do you not want to enjoy your wealth alone in your own country? If after separation Igbos try to come to your rich Oduduwa country, you can either deny them visa or charge them high taxes than your citizens. It is foolish to have all these things you claimed and not want to use them to develop Yorubaland excludively but instead share with others. It does not make sense to me.

tomdon:
Do you know the humongous amount of ibos who own massive real estate in Lagos?

Not a problem. Igbos own humongous estates in the US too. Civilized people don't seize other people's legally acquired properties in their country when no crime is committed. They let the owners sell at market price or rent out and you give them visa to visit and manage their investments. They pay taxes as you determine for them. We are talking about a mutually agreed upon separation. Not war. Igbos will not separate from Nigeria under conditions that will bring about war and huge losses.

Nigeria has 7 primary problems
1. High population
2. Extremely unproductive % of the population
3. Lack of visionary leaders
4. Lack of basic infrastructure such as adequate electricity
5. Corruption in high and low places
6. Foolish, unassertive, complacent, and sometimes, conniving citizens.
7. Parochial sentiments/interests (tribalism and religion)

Of these, number 6 is so worrisome to me because it is the basis for lack of accountability and vision by the leaders. It is the reason failed presidents and governors are returned to power.

Number 1 would have not been a problem if number 2 was not an issue.

Doomed country.

emmykk:
BVN and TSA alone is fighting more corruption than anti-corruption of president buhari returned money

Those are not Buhari's achievements. Are they?

Onne and Eleme in general are some of the roughest, yet fascinating semi-urban areas to live in southern Nigeria. As a young graduate I lived in Eleme and worked in Onne for a couple of years. Every now and then the youths block the only highway and intimidate motorists; and that Chief Ngei (or something like that) made himself a demi God in Onne. Fracas frequently breaks out among them and between them and Okrika youths; and non-indigene residents can be caught in the crossfire. Coupled with the unhealthy gaseous smells from NAFCON (now NOTORE), Eleme Petrochemical and NNPC Refinery that pervade the atmosphere most of the time. Among the Eleme communities, Alesa, Akpajo and Onne are the most volatile. It's been a while though; hope relations are better now. Had so much fun at the bush bar in Onne Wharf. I hear it's been closed own and the entire area now path of the Wharf. Also ate some of the best fishes in Okrika.

prophetone: 1. First of all, I just noticed this is a competition between north and south which i think is childish and not my intention. What i was discussing is more of self-sustenance in the event of dismemberment as opposed to one-upmanship. Nobody said both regions cannot be mutually prosperous nations and our division will simply be the manifestation of the desires of the people.

2. That been said, the north has the sheer livestock production capacity need for export (like it currently does to the south) and there are modern abbatoirs dotting most cities in the north which are quite capable of processing meat or can be upgraded and expanded for the purpose. Private investors, such as the Nagari Group are already exploiting that sector in the north. Modern animal husbandry as you posited has been practiced in the north for over 30 years. The pastoralism that you attribute to the entire region is simply a cultural practice of the Fulani tribe in the region, just like the igbo man believes in migration for prosperity, and not the sole method of animal husbandry.

Ok, so they process meat but do not export it. That's my point. Tnx.
