There is nobody called big man

-


I have never seen your picture with any big man before, even though i know you have met many, a friend ask.

There is nobody called big man, i responded.

He looked at me some how with some level of consternation, probably not sure what i meant by that statement. So i added, big man only exist in our imagination, as programmed in our psychology by those who wants us to feel that way. But it doesn't have to be that way.

Everyone of us, rich, poor, educated, not educated, civilized, not civilized, urban or rural. We are all the same, born equal in rights and dignity, only with slight differences in world outlook, environment and available opportunities.

My friend knew where i was going, but he doesn't want to go there with me, so he re-framed his question and said. If that is how you see it, why have i not seen any of your pictures with people with slightly better position of influence in the society.

This time, i was not sure the answer he was expecting to hear. So i said, i don't really fancy taking pictures, especially with those kind of people that are referred to as celebrities or public figures and even if i do, i don't often keep a copy of such pictures, not to talk of showing it off.

My friend didn't stop. He wanted to get to the root of a puzzle. So he asked again. I know you have been leading many protest against government irresponsibility in this country, but i have never seen a picture of you at a protest ground. Why is that? I don't fancy pictures at such events i responded.

I do not lead protest to take pictures and be showing it off as achievements, i lead protest to cause change. If our protests are yielding result, those are my pictures.

Don't get it wrong, it is not as if i don't take pictures at protest grounds, i just do not do that deliberately to show off, neither do i keep such pictures so passionately. I prefer taking pictures with my comrades in our private affairs.

My friend knew that would be my response, so he offered an advise. Don't be anti social.

Do you agree that my attitude is being anti-social?

15 areas Nigeria is better than America

United States of America may be better than Nigeria in many ways, but there are also areas Nigeria is better than U.S. I have compiled just 15 of them for a start. Read and leave your comment. 1. Intelligence and smartness Nigerians are the most intelligent people in the world. Yes, they are the smartest you find anywhere in the world. However, the problem with intelligent and smart people is that, in anything they do, their intelligence and smartness come to play and others in the same circle hardly match their rare skills. In business, they will be intelligent and smart, in education, they will be intelligent and smart, in music and entertainment, they will be intelligent and smart and also in criminality, they will be intelligent and smart. As we all know, negative stories sells faster than anything else and this explains why Nigerian criminals are also world famous for their craft. Nigerian criminals, particularly the internet scammers are not in any way more dangerous than...

Facebook introduce jail option

-
Image
In a move to empower group administrators on the Facebook social media platform to descipline violators of group rules and regulations, facebook has introduced a mute option to jail offenders for specific period. By jail, it means that the person’s freedom on the group will be curtailed within the specific duration of their being muted by the administrator. This feature is considered better because before now, the only available option is for the admin to remove or block members who violate the rules of the group. However, with the option of mute, such violator can be muted or jailed for specific duration as warning. Besides the mute option on groups, facebook had also introduced snoze option for individual profiles and pages. Facebook has given you an option to mute selected persons or communities for a brief period. With this option, users can assert control over what content they wish to see in their news feed. When the Snooze period is about to end, users will be duly notified...

PDP to FG, heed Bill Gates advice

Instead of diverting public attention with its usual deceit and propaganda, the APC government should gear up and deliver on its hundreds of unfulfilled campaign promises, the PDP Caucus in the House of Representatives has said. In a statement issued by the House Minority Leader, Honourable Leo Ogor, the PDP House caucus warned that the APC’s uncharitable use of the Chibok’s girls’ abduction during the 2015 political campaigns along with its current propaganda efforts cannot help APC win re-election in 2019. “Over and over, it has been proven that hands down, the current APC government in Nigeria beats all preceding administration, including the colonial ones, in the sinister art of deceitful lies and propaganda. “With fiendish mercilessness, APC’s 2015 campaign milked the unfortunate abduction of Chibok girls for every available ounce of propaganda and disinformation against the preceding administration; its campaign rhetoric and official hoopla from the lying ministe...

Frontline Presidential Candidate, Mr. Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim has declared his candidacy as the best fit to rescue Nigeria from the politics and practice of recycling leaders. The candidate who has emerged as a third force in the race towards next year’s presidential elections, said as a matter of fact that “while recycling of waste products might be good for the environment, it is bad for governance” He stressed at an interactive session with journalists at the weekend that the world has developed to appreciate the importance of recycling refuse and waste products, but cannot grow to the extent of accepting fading personalities as our potential rescuers. “What we need now is a new generation of leaders. We no longer need the cabal anymore. We cannot accept a situation where we accommodate multiple pension-receiving individuals. I mean those who have been living on government expenses in ages. It is good to retire these people and the time to do that is now”, Olawepo-Hashim state...

Stop publishing fake news, Bloggers Guild tell media, as it urges politicians to play by the rules

-
The Guild of Professional Bloggers of Nigeria has urged all stakeholders in the coming elections to play by the rules and ensure free and fair elections nationwide. In a statement signed by the president of the association, Mr Chris Kehinde Nwandu, the association urged politicians not to see the coming elections as a do or die affair. “This is an opportunity for electorates to exercise their civic responsibility to select leaders without fear of violence. Violence is inimical to conducting a credible election. Politicians are therefore advised not to heat up the polity or incite their followers to violence,” the statement says.  The Guild also urged INEC to remain as an unbiased umpire, saying: “We strongly believe that INEC should be completely independent. On no account should INEC be perceived as being biased by either the electorates or election observers. “We urge everyone to vote because bad politicians are not born, they are created by some good people who don’t v...
