You think China is coming to your country to sell cheap things to you.
Here are things they will do:
1. They will bring in hard drugs.
2. They will buy up all your lands.
3. They will create biological lab where dangerous viruses and bacteria will be grown.
4. They will turn your government against you.
5. They know you all are vulnerable due to severe poverty - so they will exploit your vulnerability.
They are not coming to make your life easier - they have not made anywhere better, wonder why America is always rejecting their dominance.
This is about long term game!
A Professor went on AriseTv to berate Obi for not having the power of oratory.
When it got to Tinubu lacking the power of oratory he suddenly berated oratory as being irrelevant.
I keep saying it that our elders are too immoral for the respect we give them.
I pity some of these Gen Z men who are still going to marry Gen Z women.
The way they're playing into the hands of these young women and doing their bidding is downright appalling.
And when you even try to correct them & show them the right path, they dismiss you like you're trying to mislead them.
I saw a video of a Gen Z wife proudly saying that her mother visited them and was trying to call her attention to the things she wasn't doing right in her husband's house and was worried about her, but she dismissed her mother's concerns because according to her, her husband is okay with her behavior.
I just smiled after watching her video.
The level of foolishness or wokeness that you young men display is so loud in the women that you're dating and will marry.
It's not a curse, but many of you will get tired of your marriage before 10 years.
And the damage that you would have caused will be irreparable.
Consider it a failure on your part, if your parents' marriage outlive yours.
Because it shouldn't be, since you claim to be more exposed, more educated and more enlightened.
End.
A nation of professors, a poverty of ideas.
1. I listened to Professor Femi Otubanjo on @ARISEtv and, somewhere during the interview, I stopped thinking about @PeterObi , @atiku Abubakar and Bola Tinubu.
2. I started thinking about something bigger:
What exactly should the title “Professor” mean in Nigeria?
3. Professor Otubanjo questioned what Atiku was selling to Nigerians: credibility, performance, ethics or morality. His answer was essentially nothing.
4. Then he turned to Peter Obi, arguing that Obi represented little beyond the South-East’s aspiration for the presidency, and that Obi lacked the oratorical power to sell his vision.
Fair enough. Those are political opinions.
5. But then came the obvious question: Does Tinubu possess this superior oratorical power?
6. Suddenly, the standard changed.
7. The discussion moved from oratory to Tinubu’s political history, his structures, his longevity and his influence.
8. And that is where the problem begins.
You cannot create a standard to diminish one candidate and abandon that same standard when it becomes inconvenient for another.
9. If oratory matters for Obi, apply it to Tinubu.
10. If morality matters for Atiku, apply the same moral standard to Tinubu.
11. If performance is the issue, compare performances.
One standard. Three candidates. Evidence on the table.
That is serious analysis.
12. What was even more troubling was the attempt to reduce Peter Obi’s political rise to a South-East presidential ambition.
13. Whatever one thinks about Obi, a candidate whose appeal was purely ethnic would not have built significant support across several parts of Nigeria. Peter Obi would not have beaten Tinubu in both Lagos & Abuja.
14. This brings me to the bigger question.
I am not saying Professor Otubanjo did not earn his professorship.
That would require examining his academic record, publications and scholarly contributions.
15. But Nigerians have every right to ask whether the quality of public reasoning displayed by some professors matches the enormous intellectual authority attached to the title.
16. Professorship should not become an academic chieftaincy title.
17. It should represent intellectual rigour, consistency, evidence, originality and contribution to society.
18. Nigeria has thousands of professors, yet we continue to struggle with problems our universities have researched for decades.
19. Where are the transformative theories?
20. Where are the inventions?
21. Where are the policy solutions?
22. Where is the scholarship changing healthcare, education, agriculture, governance and industry?
23. When a professor appears on live television, Nigerians expect more than political preference dressed in academic vocabulary.
24. Professor Otubanjo has every right to support or oppose any politician.
25. But Nigerians also have every right to interrogate his reasoning.
Not his personality.
Not his age.
Not his tribe.
His reasoning.
26. Because nations do not develop by accumulating impressive titles.
27. They develop when the people carrying those titles produce impressive thinking.**
