I'm genuinely confused.

So after the inflation.
After the kidnappings.
After months of no light.
After tax and fuel hikes.
After terrible healthcare.

After salaries can't even keep up with feeding.

Election Day comes then:
You dress up, You leave your house, You queue under the hot sun, You vote for the same person again.

You are not normal.

Let me tell you people how Tinubu’s tenure will go. It’s so easy to predict.
1. In June, subsidy will be removed. This will trigger inflation never seen in Nigeria before. I see people refer to transportation costs (for humans), but it’s a lot more than that.

[Jola @Jollz]

Just come out and voteeeeee PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE.

It is easier to frustrate 10 than ot is to frustrate 50.
It is easier to lie to 100 people than to lie to 1000
There is safety in numbers.
Collect that voters card, come out and vote

This is the tax law they want you to be stuck with.

@DevJomo51769 @Akintola_steve No, i'm spot on and he already gives it away on other people's comments. He is referring to something along the line of Logistics and Supply Chain Mgt.

When you talk of capital intensive, I mean, for the company, yeah I guess; but I work as an SAP SCM Analyst.

@Akintola_steve Lol, go back to where i'm coming from?

@FPLMate 25.4% Nigerian?! I did not see that coming! Love you Dan, all the way from Nigeria! I had Ajer in my team from day one all because of you! 😄

There is no woman on earth that will ever speak to me this way and i'll remain with her.

Infact there is absolutely nothing about me that will ever give you the impression that you are allowed to speak to me like this.

This guy is doing amazing work for the Peter Obi media. Amazing!!

I didn't go to college until I was 30. This gave me a chance to see it with the perspective of an adult.

One lecture in Industrial Psychology, in particular, I will never forget.

The professor spoke about how an effective job description focused on concretely measurable tasks, not vague instructions, or characteristics.

For example, "maintain an 85% or greater average on customer feedback surveys", instead of "be cheerful and upbeat", or even "interact positively with customers".

This means that goals are clear, and performance is measurable. A job is to do something, not be something.

Once some of the students had wrapped their minds around this concept, the professor decided to do a class exercise.

He asked the female students to come up with a job description for "husband". At first, this went fine. The girls noodled around a bit with things they wanted their husbands to be (tall, etc), but he was able to gradually steer them towards describing what they wanted in terms of actions.

But then he asked the male students to define a wife in the same way.

And all the girls became upset. Some of them had full-on meltdowns.

Every single thing that a male student wanted, or expected, from his hypothetical future wife was sexist, oppressive, old-fashioned, misogynistic, patriarchal, etc.

They were literally screaming. Some of them in tears.

And I realized something pretty quickly. It wasn't the actual, concrete responsibilities of the female role that they objected to.

It was the idea of there being a female role at all, with any attached responsibilities.

These women didn't want to be wives. They wanted to be pets.

What's a pet? Well a pet is not a wife, or a friend. A pet is a creature of instinct, which you bring into your home because you like how it naturally behaves.

You get a cat because you want to behave like a cat, and do things a cat naturally does, like play with string, and purr when you pet him. If he's smart, he'll adapt to you somewhat, but he doesn't have responsibilities other than "be a cat".

If you get a wife, you get a wife so she will do things for you, specific things that are the responsibilities of wife, like care for your home, bear and raise your children, cook nutritious meals so you don't have to eat processed slop, look after your emotional well-being, and so on.

These girls didn't want to be held responsible for those things. As married women, they might have anticipated doing some of them, but only some of the time. Only when they felt like it.

The cat chases the string if and when it wants to, not because chasing the string is its job.

These young millenial women didn't realize it, but they wanted to be pets. And that's what they were in their college relationships. They hung out with guys when they wanted to, had sex with them when they wanted to, broke up with them for someone new when they wanted to.

Their relationships had no element of reciprocal responsibilities. They were perfectly at home with the idea of men having responsibilities to them, but they would repay those men if they chose, and how they chose, not how the men actually wanted.

And as I've said twice already, someone you have responsibilities to, but who has none to you, is a pet, or a child.

Since our ancestors, in a moment of foolishness and weakness, allowed women to vote, it is no longer legal to dole out the corrective spankings a great many of them both need and read pornographic novels about.

Therefore, the corrective measure, for any man who finds himself with a pet instead of a wife, is to withdraw from any husbandly duties and start actively searching for alternatives.

This can either result in a correction of the behavior, or the end of a relationship that offers no value. Either is acceptable.

This may strike some of you as dishonorable, but there is no honor in keeping a broken pact, or in serving those who despise you.

Men must have the pride and self-worth to say "I will be honored and respected, or I will depart to a place where I can be, even if I must be alone there."

Men must honor and respect themselves.

@sophiabarbelo Hi Sophia, I hope you're well? Please, would you be kind enough to offer any suggestions on how I could get into this; perhaps where I could look or apply to? I work in tech consulting and have done some analytics as well. Anything at all would be helpful. Thank you.

[iridescence @theedescence]

@Atandatoyeeb @powerfulbadeeu yes please, what is it like these days?

[iridescence @theedescence]

@JaytonKing @StonedModder what do I need to know please and how can i begin using it as well? i've been using Stremio for a while now but I wouldn't mind optimizing it to be better.

When I die. Just remember one thing I said. Probably the only profound thing.

Your difference in quality of life from $0 (or negative) to $1 million is so significant it’s almost immeasurable.

The difference between $1M and $5M or $5 to $10M is almost nothing.

Never put yourself at risk to go back to $0.

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy

My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.

We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.

The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.

The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.

It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.

If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO
