Life saving

If you've been wondering why I haven't been updating in a while, the picture above says it all. I realised I really needed to get a manual on the equipment above or I would have to visit the psychiatry.

And thank God for authors, I found a wonderful book that has brought me comforting sanity. You should read it. I give it to Dr. Myles Munroe, he's good at it.

My life has been saved by the miracle of this book.

Greatest technology

A group of technologists were showcasing their nations' prowess in the Cebit technology fair recently and the German stood up & said his nation is the best in technology. 'We are so good, if we conduct elections today we'll get the results tomorrow'.
The Japanese rose and said they were definitely better; ' We are so good, we get results of elections immediately after the elections. Our elections are monitored online, realtime'.
The Nigeria needn't stand up to speak, he made his speech while seated. 'And you all call that technology? In Nigeria we already know the results of elections before they are conducted'.
:D

More on census

I was directed to Chxta's take on the population issue & I couldn't but bare my mind on the issue. You know this matter affects everyone, even our kids yet unborn.
Thank God you witnessed the epic migration of people from Lagos. And after they were counted in their states, did they remain there? When revenue is to be allocated, will it be made on the headcounts done during the census or on the actual presence & residence of people in a place? People will definitely be concerned about revenue allocation when states like Lagos receive less money per head because the hausas would have returned to Lagos to earn a living when the allocation for Kano would be spent on the few that remain there.Let's not lie to ourselves, even the Obasanjo Government that is doing many wonderful ground-breaking reforms dont have budgets for housing. So the governor of Kano receives his allocation only to affect the lives of people PRESENT in his state at the moment. If he has so much money to take care of his people and all he does is provide healthcare, water, security & a few other things for the people PRESENT in his state (cos he cant provide healthcare for those who have migrated) while Tinubu is bulging his eyes out on how to provide adequate security ('cos area boys are on the increase) and housing so people don't sleep under the bridge, isn't that impartiality? And the government has no other means of determining the ratio of revenue allocation than to use the figures of already migrated people! States with greater population density would definitely argue that they should get more. Thank God you discovered that the population of Bayelsa isn't much while they've been collecting 'gbemu'. The truth is it is not only Alams that has been collecting this money. If he was he was not eating it all alone. An hegemonic group is definitely there sharing the stuff. And you ask the governors of the west to sit still while their counterparts are sharing a greater part of the national cake?! They would be asking themselves, 'is it not this looting business we all are into? Why must some chop the larger part of the national cake while we do the major work?'.

The only way people wont refute results of census is only when the result isn't used in sharing revenue allocation, or census is taken while people don't migrate en mass. Pardon me for my laziness in research or I would have expatiated on how it is done, but I hear that census is done sceintifically in the U.S by determining figures using heat emission from the body (or something like that, before you quote me!) . This way the data could be captured at night when there is little movement. I guess Emeritus Blog Professors like Grandiose Parlor & Chippla can find that out & explain the modus operandi.
The politics involved in the use of the data would always make people in the south feel concerned. Some argue without data to prove for real, but the truth is better seen with the naked eyes. You can't subpoena such people for them to prove it, they can see it!
The truth is these people who use it for revenue allocation know these things, but they ARE NOT READY to digress from using it because it sure favours their clan. And they WILL DO MANY THINGS to make sure that it is kept that way! Except ofcourse if the opposition quorum is loud enough to help rescue Nigeria from their grasp.

Chicken no dey cry for night

If there's anything ludicrous I've heard this new year, it's the declaration by National Population Commision that there are more people in Kano than in Lagos. Haba! As David said, it seems as if they counted cows & goats join human beings.
What made me finally deduce that everything is a shamble and a pack of lies is the statement that 'there are more men in Nigerian than women'. What do these people take us for, bonfools? Has any of them come to the streets of Lagos to see how girls flock every nook & cranny? Go to a party & you'll discover that. The rate at which girls dey fight overs guys sef is a serious statistics.
That's the greatest joke I've heard this year. No way! Chicken no dey cry for night.

Questions

There are still some things I'm finding hard to find answers to despite trying hard. Atimes I get answers that aren't explanatory or understandable.
Some of the questions are:
Can God ask someone to go and kill another person, seeing he already said thou shalt not kill in his commandment?
What should you do when someone really is trying to kill you and you know the only way to stop that person is to harm/kill such person?
Will all those soldiers, especially the ones who went to war Iraq get to heaven ('cos they killed many ppl)?
Aren't you an accessory to drunkenness if you work in a brewery (no matter the department)?
How do you break up wiv ur chic if she doesn't wanna make herself available if you tell her 'We have to talk'? Put it in mind that it shows lack of courtesy to break up over the fone. Is it appropriate to email her a break up?

Deception

Happy new year all.
I start the year with a post on something that hasn't failed to baffle me whenever I come across it any & everytime. You sure would come across it in every facet of life.
Most times I ask my friends why ladies find it acceptable for you to tell them lies than for you to simply put issues as they are - natural, plain & simple. Why is it that you don't get your business proposals accepted & worked upon until you feign being a rich professional guy with all the available resources are your disposal to live a blatantly bogus lifestyle?
Mere going to the bank richly dressed can ensure that you won't stay on the queue to get your objectives. You are treated as a commoner if you don't look rich.
The family of a lady you intend to settle down with don't take you serious until you show up at the lady's crib with an S-class or BMW jeep.
Parents don't like their wards to take up courses that they have passion for because they feel it won't fetch enough money like the ones they have in mind.
Though many of us know that all is a charade, but it is mostly accepted everywhere in the world to 'treat those things that aren't as though they were' when it comes to packaging falsehood so as to be acceptable. Even cow-dung, if properly packaged will be sold for humongous profits not because the whole world doesn't know it's bullshit but because it looks nice after being packaged.
The truth/simplicity is always seen to be old, archaic and uninteresting to people. That is why many men will go a long way in deception than telling women the truth, 'cos they simply wouldn't want to listen to the simple truth. They prefer the sugar-coated tongues that input nice but vain imaginations into their heads.
Many businesses are in a ruin because of false propositions and attractively false standpoints in their books.

Are you in the league of those drinking pee just because it looks like lemonade?
