Literature / How To Avoid Dying As A Poor Writer? by ladman(m): 12:25pm On Apr 10, 2021
Should you be afraid?

Remember the actors, writers and musicians who died after suffering from a disease and could not afford their hospital bills. Some of these people once had money but did not build an investment from their earnings.

Could you be in their position someday? Would you want to be in their position? Absolutely not! Here are three things you can do to avoid dying in poverty as a writer, musician or artist:

Earn the Money


You cannot build wealth without money, so as a creative artist, work hard and smart to earn money or be poor or struggling throughout your career. Put in the work, and earn from different opportunities. Sell your work, become a digital marketer, or teach a course about your art.

Build Investments

Money is a temporary tool in the hands of anyone who does not invest it. It’s not enough to have some money in the bank because money is just as easy to put in a bank as it is to remove it. Whatever you do, the old advice still works; don’t put your eggs in one basket. Invest your earnings in other business ventures to make extra money.

Start a Pension


Start a pension scheme while still young, save some money every month in a voluntary pension plan, and monitor it. It’s one of those lifesaving actions to fall back on when you cannot create your art because of old age or health issues.

Conclusion

The future is good if you build a plan for it. Don’t work your youth into a penniless old age. Be smart. Be the moneymaking creative artist. If you do not wish to die as a poor writer, designer, musician, or filmmaker, have a plan, and work your plan towards prosperity.

Culture / Man Vs. Woman: How We Talk About Rape by ladman(m): 5:44pm On Jul 18, 2020
It is a troubling subject, but we must discuss it if we want a change. So what do we say? How do we say it? Do what we say even matter?

Well, it does. Words matter because it can start a path to healing or quicken self-destruction.

Talking about rape brings a divide among men and women, and what ought to be an opportunity to understand the issues better becomes an argumentative session about who is telling the truth and how to prove it

Witchersunited:
Maybe it's me or somtin

Do people bother to check things

The crisis affects the north more, they kill their own people more than Christians


I'm not a Muslim but Christians over do things


False alarm and panic everywhere, see south west that nothing happens to talking about regional Police, how many people died in South West? Look at the case well and u will see that the vigilante group is a tribal affair, benue that has suffered alot aren't even talking about policing, it's Lagos with only 5 deaths

Does it have to get to thousands of dead people before lagos finds a solution?

Christians are not over doing anything. Who constitute majority in Benue and Plateau with the high casualties?

Do you know kaduna, taraba and borno have a high Christian population too?

And when you say, their own people, do you think the north is just a hausa-fulani affair?

Answer these questions and rethink your thoughts on this matter.

Thank you

Education / Re: Amotekun Is Cheetah Not Leopard by ladman(m): 5:31am On Jan 19, 2020

But there are English names for all animals even including the ones that couldn’t be found in their environment. Explain that

English was the language of the world's biggest colonizer. It gave names to most animals found in places colonized by britain and other colonizers.
Education / Re: Amotekun Is Cheetah Not Leopard by ladman(m): 5:20am On Jan 19, 2020
godspeed:


It's not that simple.

First, you have to look at the origin of the Yoruba language and how it has developed over the centuries.

No doubts, contact with foreigners either thru trade, slavery or colonialism would have had a large influence on the Yoruba language.( Much like the English language is heavily influenced by Latin and French) .

That the yorubas never saw tigers does not mean they never heard about it or didn't at least get a description.

Remember, one of the stories about oduduwa is that he came to Ife from Arabia haven fled the peninsula when Mohammad the prophet was ridding Arabia of idolaters, infact, oduduwa brought the IFA religion from Arabia.

No doubts, oduduwa arrival in Ile Ife would have had an effect on the local language as a lot of new words would have been introduced into the Yoruba lexicon.

So as regards' Ekun' , it could have been a borrowed word from oduduwa's language, or a coinage from the description of the animal as given to them by oduduwa.

Remember, Arabia is neighbors with India, so the tiger will not be strange to them.

BTW, amotekun means Leopard, cheetahs also not native to west Africa.

smileyOduduwa did not arrive ife from anywhere. He was just a warrior who united ife into a formidable state, gave birth to one child, who birthed eight others. Seven out of these eight travelled to other places to create new formidable states.

Arabic influence on yoruba language came due to sahara trade with muslim businessmen

And cheetah (amotekun) was known in different parts of what constitutes present Nigeria but it is now locally extinct.

Tiger has no yoruba name, but ekun (originally for leopard) is sometimes used to represent it.

Thank you

Politics / Re: We Have Evidence INEC Procured, Installed, Deployed Servers - Two Groups Claim by ladman(m): 8:42pm On Jun 21, 2019
Built2last:


Put on your thinking cap bro. A card reader can not work in isolation without a corresponding server where it sources voters data from and verifies them before they vote.

We need to seat and watch the drama unfold

The card reader has a chip that stores information for a particular polling unit, it has no need of a server.

Secondly, no server is admissible in the Nigerian court because it is not part of what is permissible according to the electoral act.

If INEC was not permitted to use the server during the election, how can she put it forward as evidence in court?
TV/Movies / Re: Game Of Thrones Petition: Over 700, 000 Fans Want Season 8 Remade by ladman(m): 12:33pm On May 19, 2019
There is too much emotional attachment to this series. Many people want it ro end the way they had dreamt it. Too bad.

However, I am a bit disappointed with how the showrunners rushed through the plots of season 8. It seemed as if fatigue was setting in and they wanted to end it.

But I am not surprised or sad about the way the story has gone. It's the game of thrones. Most endings saddens its watchers:

Ned Stark died

Khal Drogo died

The Red Wedding

Arya and Sansa's experiences

Theon's actions and redemption (there was a time the world hated him)

Cersei is deemed wicked but we forget she lost her three children. Yes, she got them through incest but the Baratheon King she loved broke her into pieces by his lack of love and respect for her. Cersei has suffered too.

Daenerys has always been emotionally unstable. Ser Barristan Selmy was worried about her state of mind. So am not surprised she torched king's landing. Most readers of the book looked forward to it.

And by all means, the ending is what GRR Martin told them. The only problem is that they came to its ending rather too fast and less effectively.

No matter what the show has done, it is no where near the masterful storytelling of the five books.

It's been a great television show.

Politics / Re: Senator Adeyeye: 1999 Constitution Cannot Give Us Progress, Peace And Unity by ladman(m): 7:53pm On Apr 11, 2019
RichBoy247:
Senator, go and change your house Constitution first.

As for State Police, have you imagined the Police being under the control of a State governor like Yahaya Bello, Chibuzom Wike, Ajimobi the Constituted Authority, Nasir El-Rufai, Rocha's Okoroawusa, Adams Oshiomole? In less than a month, Nigeria will be in flames.

Yahaya Bello would have directed his Police Commissioner to go and lock up anybody that bears Dino in Kogi State. Chibuzom Wike would have locked up all the people in Rotimi Amaechi's village. Ajimobi the Constituted Authority would have locked up all students of LAUTECH. After destroying Yinka Aiyefele's Radio House, Ajimobi would have also have gone to destroy Yinka Aiyefele's family house. By now, Adams Oshiomole would have locked up all PDP supporters in Edo State. As for Rocha's Okoroawusa, if you don't have APC membership card, then you cannot even walk on the streets of Imo. Tinubu the Jagaban too would have deported all Omo Yeebos back to Biafran land and dumped them at Upper Iweka.

The crisis of the First Republic started when the idiot called Ladoke Akintola who was the Premier of the Western Region started using the Region controlled police to harass and intimidate Awolowo's supporters. Many Awolowo's supporters and their properties were burnt alive by Akintola's thugs. That was where/when the slang "wetie" came about meaning "wet him/her with petrol and burn him/her". The aftermath effect of the crisis consumed the traitor Ladoke Akintola and ultimately lead to the end of the First Republic.

I support community policing and not police controlled by State or Local Governments.

As much as you have said the right things, I share your fear of misuse of police force, but we already call governors chief security officersof their state, and put billions in their care, we need policing at the state level that works closely with communities. How do you have community policing without any form of government control?

RichBoy247:


Can you mention one, just only one bill that the Nigerian Senate has overridden after the President's rejection since our return to democracy? You read government text books and just swallow everything in it. Arts and Commercial students are so dumb. Humans without brains. All the resolutions of the Senate that Obasanjo/Yar'Adua/Goatluck/Buhari have rejected over the last 20 years, how many of them have been overridden by 2/3 majority of the Senate?

It is not a common practice, but NDDC was birthed as a result of vetoing Obasanjo.

Politics / Re: Metering Is Your Responsibility, NERC Fires Back At Discos by ladman(m): 6:25am On Mar 27, 2019
laudate:

Do you even understand what MAP is all about? It was meant to make it easy for the end user to get the pre-paid meter, without being subjected to the delay and haphazard stress of the Discos. The original ideology behind MAP was to decentralise the deployment of prepaid meters. So why subject the end user to the delay of the Discos again, if MAP is truly functional?

MAP was designed to work with discos by taking over the funding and purchasing of meters and working with discos on installation, and getting back their investment. Find out more abt the regulations, but one of the main provisions about MAP is that:

The eleven (11) electricity distribution companies are expected to, within 120 days from the effective date of the regulation; engage the services of MAPs towards the achievement of their 3-year metering targets prescribed by the Commission. (NERC press release)

laudate:

Which MAP? Call any of those private companies producing pre-paid meters today that you want to buy one under the MAP scheme, and they would still refer you back to the Discos, claiming they cannot sell to you directly.

We are saying the same thing. MAP ought not to sell it to you. You should get your meter from the discos.
Politics / Re: Metering Is Your Responsibility, NERC Fires Back At Discos by ladman(m): 3:21pm On Mar 26, 2019
I knew something was fishy when Discos announced there were no longer in charge of metering. MAP is just there to help the discos achieve metering all over Nigeria.

It makes more sense.

The way I see it is that the high court is a senior brother that cannot give orders to CCT, a junior brother, since both of them get their orders from the court of appeal.

OP, the High court already has stopped the CCT, it will be abuse of court process if appeal court WITHOUT ALLOWING CCT TO OBEY THE HIGH COURT OR NOT NOW GIVE ITS OWN RULING, such ruling will stand on nothing because at this stage, NOTHING IS BEFORE THE APPEAL COURT, so lets wait till tommorrow 22nd, Then appeal court adjourned to 24th in your own post can Now decide, instead of reading and understand cases you guys would jump exegical holes out of ignorance, Kpelle grin grin

This has already played out during Saraki's trial. The question is whether the high court is higher than CCT? The court of appeal refused Saraki's appeal to stop the trial and the CCT did not accept the high court's order.

It might play out the same way here.

Union Bank do not need to be aggressive about this, as a corporate organization, simply show your proof that there is no dirty business and respectfully shut down EFCC's initial gra-gra.

Many Southeasterners are enterprising but a functional sea port won't transform the Southeast. Commerce alone can't do anything. Government policies and intentional development is what made Singapore a success.

The Southeast development commission won't solve anything. It would only hand more money to a select few and increase agitation from other regions.

Soon the north west will ask for their own commission to battle desertification, Lagos will resuscitate their call for special status and other regions will have

And what is with the plea to a 'naive politician' like Tinubu to join ranks with Atiku?

And the part about US, UK and co is just funny. If the writer knew global politics, he won't even put Iran and Saudi Arabia under one thought. Those two countries don't intentionally agree.

No one can prove origins of most tribes since there are no written accounts. Oral tradition is the worst proof of history.

Even when there are written accounts like the Bible, it is constantly debated along the lines of translation and socio cultural politics.
