@Jojo_agboola If you are after rental income, buying in Canada may not be a great option. You will most likely end up paying out of pocket to cover the mortgage (rental income may just be like 60-80% of mortgage).
@Anthonytyga In the context of flood water in your house, you can measure by its height in inches/feet. Measuring water in liters is also correct but not in this context.
@adeosunm I think it just that some people have made up their minds to misunderstand every gesture/word. It's hard to convince someone who doesn't want to understand.
@JaafarSJaafar That's why the focus should now be more on the states. Maybe the FG institutions have performed better because we've focused on them for so long.
@ImAFan96181621@mtlgazette Far left because she's calling out something wrong in the society. If she was calling out antisemitism, I guess she won't be far left. It's all woke only when blacks and browns are affected right?
I'm always for understanding the problem/complexity first before offering any solution because I know it's very easy to solve a problem on paper. This is why I'm weary of anyone promising to fix something even when they don't understand the complexity.
Q: Why is it so easy to criticise and have a plan till you get into government? π€
A: Because outside govt, you see the problem in straight lines. Inside government, you meet the maze.
From outside, failure often looks like a lack of will, competence, courage, or integrity. Sometimes it is. But inside government, plans meet weak institutions, inherited liabilities, vested interests, procurement rules, courts, legislators, budget limits, security realities, civil service inertia, and the politics of timing.
Culture happens, stories begin and self-preservation agendas find life.
The easiest sentence in public life is: βThey should just fix it.β The harder truth is that the state is not one person with one button. It is a network of laws, interests, fears, incentives, sabotage, capacity gaps, and consequences.
Still, complexity is not an excuse for failure. Government exists to organise complexity into results. The real test of leadership is whether a plan survives contact with reality, adapts without losing its moral centre, and delivers relief citizens can feel.
So, I have learnt to appreciate progress, momentum and incremental gains..... not the eldorado version.
Yet, criticism keeps power honest, but getting results for desired governance requires more than criticism. It requires getting involved, sequencing, coalition-building, courage, competence, communication, and the humility to accept that the problem was deeper than the slogan.
The code is to win by knowing when to lose, win or compromise.
On a scale we can all relate wirh, we should for example know that the wedding, of which we priotise expenses with, is just an event, while the marriage remains the institution of priority. Even within this family arrangement, optimising value reflects similar challenges.π You can read this in a way you get the message.
Be ye circumspect.....
@Omojuwa I guess it's just easy to let people think or believe whatever they want at this point. No matter how much you explain, some have made up their minds never to understand or think critically.
