Sipsum: Buhari tweet was reported massively, hence the tweet deletion. Out of over 150 million active users, how do you want them to censor each user's tweets if not reported? MNK just caught their attention consequentially. 1 Like |

Politics / 3 must have political attributes: Keys in succeeding in Nigerian's politics by Greatwonders(m): 3:34pm On May 29, 2019 |
Good day Nairalanders. This piece is motivated by the recent events in our politics. From my observations, there are three major areas a politician must be versatile in to be successful in our politics. Without waste of time let me discuss these areas. 1.) Public image: This area is the most reckoned with by the Nigeria citizen. This is simply how a politician is viewed by his/her people. Since this is the major attribute questioned by most Nigerians, most of our politicians try to boost their public images. This is the reason why some politicians eat roasted corn, take bike, dress in school uniform, etc during election periods just to portray themselves as an humble servant of the people. But sadly this is not suppose to be a major criteria as we will see in the second point. 2.) Delivery proficiency: For obvious reasons, this is the most important attribute a politician can possess because it affect the masses directly, but sadly this is the least considered in my beloved country. This negligence result to bitter lamentation of the people after few years of their favorite political icon on seat, hence clamour for change in administration. It is high time we knew that eating of roasted corn is not tantamount to increase in agriculture sector, dressing in school uniform is not same as improvement in our educational system and being a good man is not similar 2 ability 2 deliver to your people. Let's take foreign politicians as examples; Obama agreed to an allegation of once taking marijuana, which is being fought against, but that didn't stop him from becoming the first black president of USA, Donald Trump had sexual scandal allegation and do render undiluted social comments, yet he became an unprecedented US president that has never held a public office before being elected, another example is Putin, who the Americans always complain of his methods, nevertheless that didn't stop him from being elected to office four times. 3.) Politicking prowess: It is good to love your country, have great ideas and how it can be implemented, be of good moral standard, but if you don't understand and know how to play the game of politics, then you are best as the head of the family. In fact a good politician owe it to his people to repay the trust they have in him by securing the seat of power. An obvious example of this is the case of the outgoing governor of Lagos, who is the first governor in Nigeria not to win his gubernatorial primary. Another example is the Osun gubernatorial election. Although the people of Osun state earnestly seeked a change of administration but the outwitting politics of APC, ensured that didn't happen. These are some illustrations to buttress my points: 1.) 2015 election saw d ousting of an incumbent president which as never occurred, hence the question, "what went wrong?" Studying Jonathan, it is obvious he is a compassionate, humble and wise leader, but the problem is that his delivery proficiency is low, so how are people going to benefit from his great ideas? Incase you don't know it was GEJ that brought the idea of BVN and TSA but it was properly implemented by PMB and hence he took the shine. He was international recognized for his peaceful transition of power, which is not common in Africa, definitely he his a good man, but that doesn't bring food to the table. 2.) In the just concluded election, a sitting senate president couldn't win a return ticket to senate. That is also unprecedented. I must confess, I like Dr. Saraki's politicking but he lost the support of his people, he lost his public image and he fell down flat. This is just like a river that forgot it's source, it should prepare to run dry. In my own opinion, a political icon that posses to a significant level these properties is the former president, Chief Olusegun Obasanjo, and you may ask why? So these are my reasons: 1.) I know there is hardly any leader that won't receive his/her criticism, but to me Chief Olusegun Obasanjo is one of the few president that saw and treated Nigeria as Nigeria and not through a bias goggle of ethnic diversity, and this made him more president-like. Also he is the first military leader to transit power to a civilian rule peacefully, you will understand this better if you know what a power, a sitting military head-of-state is sacrificing. He was also bold enough to tackle Abacha's infamous regime despite knowing its consequences. 3.) If there is any one to be thanked for the democratic stability of this third republic it should be Obasanjo, he took various actions such as compulsory retirement of military officers that have held political post, to ensure that the incessant interruption of our democratic system is stopped. Nigeria had a working economy, international reputation and a level of security during his tenure. 3.) Well I don't really need to explain this. If politics is a game of football Obasanjo will be Messi . This is my humble opinion, let me hear yours with reasons. |

Spending the money on the poor and less privilege is not an appropriate priority now. The president says the youth are lazy, will this promote hard work in the country? There are more productive sectors this money can be used to develop, such as the educational sector, the health sector.......... Just as Bill Gate said, we should promote human development. When the money is exhausted, what will the poor be left with? The answer will be nothing but the state you left our economy. |

Agriculture / 3 Lucrative Agricultural Productions That You Can Start On A Small Scale by Greatwonders(m): 11:36am On Apr 17, 2018 |
Here are some small scale agricultural productions that can be practiced for income and self employment. These products are always been demanded by the ever increasing Nigerian population, yet not in abundance, these products are; 1) Apiculture: This is the keeping and maintenance of bee for commercial reasons. There are many products that can be obtained from bee keeping, one of which is the honey. Honey and other by products from bees are of high demand in Nigeria ranging from consumption as confectionery to medicinal consumption also for some industrial purposes. Honey is widely used for various purposes in the health sector. Unlike many other agricultural production that need land acquisition, bee keeping doesn’t. In fact partnership can be done with some fruit farmers for housing of the bees, which can result in advantageous boost in harvest due to the pollinating activities of the bees. The protective suit and bee hive can be manufactured locally to reduce cost. Other materials need include; smokers, buckets, jungle boots, wheelbarrows, basins, honey extractor, weighing scales and other packaging materials. About 10 to 12 litters can be obtained from a hive. 2) Snail production: This is an agricultural production of snail. Snails are wide consumed through out the country, with the demand for snail well above 300 thousand tons yearly. The production of snail is considerably cheap and less difficult, hence, can be easily practiced. Snails are herbivores, so less cost on feeding, since they feed on leaves like banana leaves. A wooden box provided with low acidic soil is used. The surrounding of this snailrey (a place where snail are bred and kept) is surrounded by deep, which look like gutter, this should be filled with water and little kerosene to keep ants off. This production requires patience as snail takes time to mature, about 12 months. An average snail lay over 500 eggs which hatch in about 2 weeks and these snail in turn lay several eggs before maturity. You can imagine the profit that will be gotten from this prolific specie. This product are in high demand in many hotel restaurants and other food businesses. 3) Fish production: This has to do with production of fish for consumption. Fish are largely consumed in Nigeria. The production of fish can be done right at the back yard of your house. Though it needs attention to attain table size fish in less months (not more than six months), but the future profit worth the efforts put in. The feeding of fish should be done slowly and gradually, if not, some fish will have stunted growth, since they are weak to struggle for feed. The production can be done in plastic tank of desirable size based on the stocking quantity, rather thab expenses on digging and maintenance of a sunken pond. The major problem is getting a good source of water which must be free from chlorine. They are fed with pelletized fish feed of the right mixture of ingredients, for quick growth. Also maggot feed can be used as supplementary. The market for fish is ever ready and the selling price, to a large extent, depends on the preservation and packaging of the product. This can be small at start but can become big later. Not all millionaires are in the office but some are on the field working hard. You can help by adding other lucrative agricultural enterprises.

what else can i say after the 'wonderful' exam?... i choose not to say it was bad i refuse to complain simply because i refuse to question the existence of God intervention in the just the exam i concluded it was and will be wonderful. I believe that God is involved in this admission all the way from meeting almost the deadling 4 jamb registration and kept me through all the events in btw even the reversed jamb eligibility policy. The God whom have kept all through this obstacles will surely not live me here in the middle of the ocean but will surely take me through to the end. I have experienced many God miraculous intervention academically and i know this is not even a challenging situation to God.... Before 31st of October I and some here will sure celebrate the long awaited admission into the preferred course and surely into the premier university.... #teammbbsalltheway 3 Likes |
