@innocool4u How can you read all that and the parameter you are using to counter his points is “character”? Is this an award for fair play? Unbelievable!
@UdoSike Nwannem this has nothing to do with tribe. I think the original post goofed on what he said and the this post you quoted is trying to correct his understanding of how that department is.
OAU transport system was near perfect, adequate buses and bikes, we rarely experienced queues until the First Lady came and decided she didn’t like the ease of transportation and introduced “change” by donating CNG buses.
The school management in turn banned all motorcycles and commercial buses on campus and subjected over 30,000 students to just about 50 buses and a few tricycles. OAU has one of the largest land masses of any Nigerian university, yet students are now stranded daily.
This is a Monday morning where students are supposed to rush for class, but they are stuck at the campus gate because of the inefficiency of the CNG buses.
Students are struggling to go to class in the morning and in the evenings to even get back to their hostels.
Students staying off campus now spend almost double to get to campus, all alternative transport means have been removed
The management have cars to bypass all of this, but majority of students do not. Yet they released statements talking about how the buses will “ease transportation” and even implied students appreciate the system. Meanwhile, students are trekking, missing classes, and spending hours in queues.
Let it be clear that students do not appreciate this system. It has made our lives harder, not better. What used to be a smooth system has now become a daily struggle.
There are many pressing issues in this school, but they chose to dismantle a working transport system and replace it with hardship.
We can no longer remain silent. Let the whole world know what OAU students are going through.
Please if you come across this tweet, help us retweet it whether you are an OAU student or not
We demand our towngboro buses and motorcycles back.
Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history.
An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do in the regions that handle complex thought. A neuroscientist at Emory named Lori Marino put an orca brain in an MRI and found these animals can tell different species apart underwater. They do it by sending out clicks that bounce off everything around them and come back as a kind of 3D sound map (this is called echolocation). From 500 feet away, an orca knows you're a human and not a seal. It skips you on purpose.
The answer is culture. Orcas around the world are divided into at least 10 separate populations, each with its own food rules, its own language, and its own way of hunting. All of it learned from their mothers. One population eats only fish. Another eats only marine mammals like seals and sea lions. These two populations can live in the exact same water and never swap a single meal. A baby orca learns what food is from its mother, and that list stays the same for life.
In the Pacific Northwest, one population called the Southern Residents eats almost nothing but Chinook salmon. Scientists have documented them killing harbor porpoises 78 times over six decades, carrying the dead porpoises in their mouths, and never once eating them. Even when the group was starving. A 2023 study in Marine Mammal Science looked at all 78 cases and concluded it was play. These orcas would rather go hungry than eat something their culture says isn't food.
Researchers studying whale behavior in 2001 found that orca cultural traditions "appear to have no parallel outside humans." Each family group has its own dialect, its own version of the language. Calves spend about two years just learning how to make all the sounds their family uses. Mothers will slow down a hunt on purpose so their young can watch.
In 2005, a 12-year-old kid was swimming in Helm Bay, Alaska when an orca came at him full speed. At the very last second, the orca seemed to realize it was charging a human. It bent its entire body in half and turned back to open water. In captivity, it goes differently. SeaWorld's Tilikum killed three people during his life in a concrete tank. Research from 2016, published in the journal Animals, traced it to psychological collapse from being locked away from the family bonds orcas need to stay stable.
I think calling this a "mystery" undersells the science. Orcas decide what to eat based on culture, not instinct. No orca mother has ever taught her calf to hunt humans, so no orca hunts humans. Only about 75 of those salmon-eating Southern Residents are still alive. Their pregnancy failure rate is 69% because we've destroyed their salmon runs. They won't break their food culture to survive. Whether we care enough to protect theirs is the part that actually matters.
Look online: there are pages teaching young men how to text a lady, how to talk to a girl, how to ask her out, how to be confident around women, and how to satisfy a woman. There’s literally a niche educating men on women’s psychology and bodies. But still online, on the other hand, you’ll see a whole niche indoctrinating women into solipsism, detachment, and the worst possible personality - nothing on male psychology or how to be with men.
“Women-only gym,” “women’s-only canteen,” “women are not initiators,” “if he doesn’t, don’t blah blah,” “if he cannot, don’t blah blah.”
At the end of the day, men learn how to be with women, and women never learn how to be with men.
And because the motivation for men to be with women is, majorly and naturally, sexual, men get women, f*ck women, and lose the fog right after that. With that, the woman’s presence - which was never fun but made fun by the man’s pressing need to ejaculate - becomes irritating right after ejaculation.
But this becomes a cycle, and it stays a cycle. Because the woman, in that instant, and being naturally allergic to accountability, interprets that event as the man being evil and “just after sex,” and never sees it as her not being fun to be with for any other reason but sex. So next time, with the next guy, she plays harder to get. But men stay educated on how to get women, and they do so. The woman falls again, gets f*cked, and gets the same post-sex attitude from another guy. At that point, she generalizes her experience: “all men are evil and deserve to die.” It never dawns on her to look inward.
Naturally, a woman cannot bring herself to reflect and hold herself accountable and, thus, be better. And socially, she’s conditioned to see the responsibility to be better as solely the man’s.
So, Men come online and see on their social media feeds stuff like “how to do X with women,” “how to satisfy a woman,” “how to make her fall for you,” and are immediately reminded that they can do better. This is not the same for women.
Women stay illiterate on her to be with men. And women complain about men being cold around women. These are the problems.
@Equityoyo You said absolute nonsense and you are looking for argument? Argument on better textiary school infrastructure? Better paid teachers on global standards? Improved educational quality? Wha is it exactly are you looking to argue to justify the inhumane acts of government?
