Scary time ahead, imagine a virus of this proportion in an overwhelmed healthcare facility such as ours. China was able to build an hospital in a spate of 10days, whereas it would take eternity to build just 10Km of road in my country.

TV/Movies / Fashola: Nollywood Movies Promoting Money Rituals, Encouraging Kidnapping by dont8(m): 2:06pm On Feb 09, 2020
Without doubt, one of the common themes in Nollywood is money rituals. While such stories could be entertaining, especially with the mystical manipulations embedded in them, Minister of Works and Housing and former governor of Lagos State, Babatunde Fashola, during the week asked moviemakers to stop telling such stories, because, according to him, money ritual is a myth.

Fashola, who was the guest speaker at the fourth annual public lecture/symposium organised by the United Action for Change, themed, ‘Security of citizens as a social contract’, said that belief system, reinforced through Nollywood movies, could be fuelling kidnapping, given the number of persons the police have arrested with human skull and other body parts, with the motive of money ritual.

But the former governor, who titled his lecture, ‘Insecurity: Taking actions against organised crime’, however, said it was high time moviemakers and policymakers changed the narrative, to save innocent lives from being wasted.

Fashola said, “Some people believe that if you get a man’s head or a woman’s body parts, they could be turned into money. It’s not true! And when you ask people who believe in it if they have seen it happen before, they tell you someone said they had seen it.

“However, it has become a reinforced belief through entertainment, social media and Nollywood. How can human head bring money? Money is paper invented by man, not God. They put the paper in a machine to print what we call money and that is the only place money comes from.

“But the challenge is the belief system. Just think about how many people have been missing – through kidnapping – because some people believe that it exists. The police could tell us the number of people they have apprehended with human parts, such as skulls. This belief system must go.

“Therefore, all of us, including those who make the films, must reverse the story and start selling a new story that money is printed in a machine and not through any other way like money rituals.”

He also faulted the fears that engulfed the populace last year when there were reports that cyber fraudsters were stealing women’s briefs to make money.

Fashola said, “It is not true, or how does that happen? What is the connection between paper (money) and cotton (pants) or has anybody seen cotton money before? Those of us who have influence and authority must take positions to see to the reversal of this kind of beliefs.”

As for Ronaldo, if not for Messi he would have gone the way of Solomon Okonkwo

And as for Messi if not for Ronaldo he would have gone the way of Chinedu Ogbuke...

Happy birthday CR7 the Legend but even me and your fans(though they don't like to admit it) know that LM10 is the best to ever play the game...
Great thinking, this also applied to both Davido and Wizkid, they should both thank themselselves.

itsme01:
cool


Arabic is a Language and not a religion, Many christians speak Arabic as their only language, The Bible also as an Arabic version so i see no reason why christians should opose arabic writtens on currency of a country that is bordered with Northern African Arab, and conduct millions worth of trade with them

As it stands, most of the Rams , Camel , Donkeys and some breed of Goats we eat and use in Nigeria comes from Chad, Niger, Mali and even Senegal, and most of our grains like millet, white corn and wheat are also sold back to them

Obasanjo a Christian was the President that designed and minted N200 , N500 and N1000 and he included the arabic insription and translation of the denomination. Below is a picture of Bible written in Arabic, am sure if our Hypocrite Brothers see this now they would burn it
On point, to add to that, most of the mathematical expressions and equations is derived from Arabic language and Science in general.

Wrong, it was Darey that called Cardi B big sister and not MI, MI only had issue with the adjective used for Wizkid by Akon.

Jones4190:
In 2012, when Anthony Joshua was arrested for drug dealing, the British media called him a 'Nigerian'. After his first win in 2017, and then again, after his most recent win last week, they referred to him as ‘British’.

The first time I knew that Andy Murray was ‘Scottish’ was when he lost. All the times that he won at Wimbledon, he was ‘British’.

Learn from Joshua and Murray. Not everybody that associates with you really loves you. Some people love your SUCCESS, not YOU. A wise man knows the difference.

Your ADMIRERS are not your FRIENDS. When what they ADMIRE in you goes, they will also go. A FRIEND does not ADMIRE you. A FRIEND LOVES you. ADMIRATION has EXPIRY DATE. LOVE does not! Marry your FRIEND, not your ADMIRER and your marriage will last!"
When you're Scottish you're also a British, is like you saying a Yoruba is not a Nigerian, it is inter-changeable depending on context of usage.

This is funny, someone that just qualify you to a round of 16 getting the boot (a top manager of Ancelotti for that matter). On a normal day, this would have been the other way round, I guess he was sacked because of their domestic league standing.

National grid phrase is the problem.
only learning institutions have authority to generate and keep power without remitting to national grid.
Universities can even supply surrounding neighborhood and get paid.
National grid phase shouldn't be an excuse for incompetency on the part of Federal government not given Nigerians 24hrs electricity after billions has been sunk into it. Power Ministry is just another conduit pipe used in milking the treasury and nothing more.
Education / Re: OAU Will Exit National Grid By December 31 — VC by dont8(m): 10:03pm On Dec 08, 2019
Great one from OAU, this is what a University should be known for.

I don't know why electricity should still be in an exclusive list up to this moment, imagine if every State or Local govt can generate own power with IPP,
Nigeria would have been industrialized by now and non-employment would have been reduced considerably.

Ignorance at its peak, there's nothing like Yorubawood rather, ANTP and Nollywood is the umbrella body for all the practitioners.

So unfortunate he didn't get the needed help before things degenerated to that extent of losing his sight. Entertainment in Nigeria is overrated, especially, Nollywood sub-genre of the industry.

Why is he the only one apologizing? Everyone critisizing him are all hypocrites because I could remember vividly almost every Twitter users were retweeting the video's link and that's what made it went viral and as such are all guilty of same offense as this guy.

So in essence, everyone who retweeted the link or shared the the video should tender public apology to the parties involved.
