The memefication of outrage is what will ensure that no matter how egregious the actions of politicians, Nigerians will, instead of reacting in any useful way, turn to memes and skits, giggling as their home burns down.
Reminds me of the timeless words of satirist Peter Cook who, at the height of the satire boom of the 60's in Britain and worried that political comedy was turning into a facetious distraction, said that Britain is "in danger of sinking, giggling into the sea".
Was telling a bunch of men the other night that one of the reasons we find intimacy with God difficult is not for any reason other than "What if he really speaks to me?" "What if the demands he makes of me are quite different from how I hoped my life would go".
A Holy God is scary, He puts it to us that our desires are at odds with him, and even though he is welcoming, this perfection side by side our weakness can ultimately turn us off.
Pastor, that girl calls you father. Do not make sexual advances towards her.
Pastor, that boy calls you papa. Do not exploit his strength or his money.
Feed the sheep as Christ fed you. Don't eat them.
Norway just banned generative AI for school kids aged 6 to 13 starting this August.
Teens aged 14 to 16 need teacher supervision.
Those above 16 can use it independently.
The goal is to protect reading, writing, and math.
What do you think about this?
The whole ycee conversation wasn't about Peller but about a systemic degradation of our education.
I would expect everyone arguing, dropping think pieces & setting camera to have picked up on that.
No surprise that the uprisen olodos are proving the point of olodo uprising.
All Ycee did was say the bitter truth about a topic a lot of people have been walking on eggshells around for years.
The aggressive decline in the academic sector isn't talked about enough, not in a country where the Jamb cut off mark is now 150.
Just 2010 here, anything below 200 will likely require you to retake the exam.
Today, all the average mind cares about is "He's making his money, education na scam" then we wonder why people make poor decisions everyday that could affect the lives of others.
Also, education and intelligence aren’t the same thing. There are thoughtful people who never had much access to school, and there are highly educated people who confidently spread nonsense 😂
You won’t understand how dangerous the olodo pandemic is until it starts showing up in professions where competence is the difference between life and death.
I hate the fact that once you question a Nigerian’s intellect their automatic response is to start comparing how much money they have to you. So because you’re rich you think you can’t be stupid?
You are entertained by fools because you are one. The intelligence of a people is largely measured by what entertains and relaxes them. These fools that you’ve all platformed have a following because ye are fools! 🫵🏿
