Oga lemme be honest with you, once your wife starts to notice you no longer beg for sex and you're always happy, that's when things will fall back in place.
I don't have to tell you what to do.

dominique:
That's the amount I bought yams of around that size about 2 weeks ago. Shouldn't such foodstuff be cheaper in the north?

Places like kebbi are not known for farming yam.
It is cheaper in Benue and Nasarawa.

Not about Osimhen though.

Yesterday, I opened this platform in a conference, and a psychiatrist who sat beside me had a brief conversation with me about the platform. Nairaland was his avenue to get a position for his senior residency over a decade ago…and he spoke about a litter of forums that were on the page designed to encourage critical reflection, dialogue, and shared critique around news events too. But he spoke in such a manner that this was no longer so.

I mentioned that there were other forums that cultivate that habit, but most s are unwilling to engage. They just want the forum on the front page. Then we got into, giving back to the platform by sharing opportunities and other resourceful ideas… but he said the platform has become a garbage of “Performative Engagement.” and other things about overly tribal sentiments … that I struggled to disagree with in the face of evidence.


The conversation got me thinking about deeper psychological undercurrents that shapes (our) behavior.

I agreed with him that increasingly the platform has become a theater which he described as ‘a place where s chase visibility through shock value and speed, rather than insight.’

Outrageous news stories, often unverified and sensationalized, are ed not to inform or analyze, but to bait attention. And with these deteriorated content quality, most viewers don’t even have the patient to engage reasoned comments which get drowned out by reactive posts and one-liners. He argues the forum has cease to serve its intellectual or civic function, and that he left, because he feared he is not immune from such needs, which if not met, can cause him to be disillusioned, and to compensate, he has to respond quickly without thoughts, impairing his cognitive function.

So he spoke about the race and scramble to be the first to comment. Not to contribute depth, but simply to be ‘seen’.

This performative urgency “first to comment,” “front/first page,” “top reply” … he emphasized was some sort of echo or a kind of low-stakes celebrity, and a microdose of relevance in the s of the platform.

“But relevance to whom?” I asked. “Do you know most s remain anonymous, cloaked behind pseudonyms? And that’s there are no tangible rewards, no compensation, no credits, no career gains?” I persisted.

He said such behavior spoke to something deeper than boredom or habit and that it speaks to the increasingly fragile ways in which people seek validation online. The desire to be seen, to be early, to be reacted to…even without name or face. He points out that it offers a fleeting sense of identity which is hollowed out of real connection. He said, privately, s might measure their worth by comparing how they stack up against others, but that dangerously, the s become clouded in stacking up, that their metric isn’t insight or empathy but rather, what becomes prioritized is timing, provocation, and numbers, which in reality creeps into their normal functioning, as people are mostly what they are, indoors.



I didn’t know when I kept nodding as he said that Nairaland has become an extreme echo chamber of digital desperation. He added that it is not simply the platform problem although Reddit didn’t reward such behavior, allowing comments that appears to be based on ranking; but he say, all of our cultural anxiety from using social media is spurred by a fear that we nurse of not being heard in a world where everyone is speaking.

I left, saying, well, I will be less reactive , and not necessarily address the forum topic, rather, there will be an intention going forward, and a realization that attention is not connection. Noise is not relevance. And racing to be first is rarely the path to wisdom. That way, I contribute to the platform devolving away from a space where performance trumps substance, and virality trumps value.

I totally agree with him.
I miss the old nairaland.

Jamestown123:
Unlike you, the Igedes have been senators before, they have held great positions in zone C. Igedes are just run away Idomas, they bear the same names and an Igede man was once the ruler of the whole Idoma kingdom. I'm sure you haven't heard of the great Ogiri Okoh, who ruled as Ochi,Idoma for long?

I find your comment interesting, can you mention the names of the senators igede had produced?

End time Mango don cause wetin Apple no cause

My Glo line is 20 years.

Please Ukraine should face their war and leave anything Nigeria out of their mouth. We have nothing in common and we are already dealing with a lot at the moment.

JAWBONE:
We are solidy behind you

We ke? Oga speak for yourself.
Have never benefited anything from those in government

As a lawyer, if she have enough evidence why not take akpabio to court? Why all these interviews if I may ask?

Finquas:
Who ever told the president that this drunk minister who he's aiding to cause anarchy in the Niger delta won't turn around and stab him recklessly like he did to all his political fathers when he has the opportunity?? He should pause and think that this minister wanted his position as President ' but was stopped by Atiku.. A man declares war in his state cuz he wants to retain structures for his (personal) Presidential ambition...and the iragbiji man isn't bothered? 😂 I laugh in Agbado style

Wike is loyal except you look for his trouble.

I don't like commenting on topics like these, but haven't read all the comments, this is my input.
PBAT made a hugeeee mistake betraying El Rufai.
Most of his ministers don't have the effontry to campaign for him in the North because of the level of Hunger, Inflation etc.
El Rufai have the guts to do that. Which among his ministers from the north delivered during the last election? From Ribadu down to the rest none seriously campaigned for BAT like El Rufai did. Haven humiliated him during screening, APC went far by turning some of his allies to foes and chose to harass those that decided to stick with Rufai.
As it stands, I don't see APC wining any state in North Central, North East and North West if things doesn't change.
Inec Mahmood tenure will elapse this October and I know a Yoruba prof will replace him.

Just watched the video on FB few moments back. It's unfortunate.....

May God grant their souls eternal rest.

Ajayi Died serving WOMANITY.
He returned same way he came.
What an Icon.

Bobodee09:
Politic is a game.

Forming a coalition to take power requires alot to get strong on your side.

What will el rufai offer governors to him

Sitting Governors are very powerful in Nigeria and to have a formidable coalition he needs Governors to him but from the look of things I don't see which Sitting Governor will want to and contest under SDP.


El rufai himself is not someone who have helped alot of politicians in the country. He isn't someone that command loyalty from any zone of the country hence him being the face of the coalition wont attract much.


Lastly in all of this I know El rufai is only fighting for 2031. Not being relevant and push aside is killing his ambitions.

Not being close to sit of power is disadvantage to his quest but playing opposition will make people see him more.

Let me just ask you a direct question, are you happy with the way things currently are?

Sultan8:

As it stands, An Assistant Manager in one of the conventional banks that implemented salary increases(Eg. GTB) earns higher ‘Salary’ than an Assistant Manager in CBN.
Until something is effected 💯

Something happened there early June last year. Try to find out.

Sultan8:
Some changes are currently taking effect in CBN. New set of people taking key positions, expect replacements here and there (maybe soon).
P. S Salary is yet to be reviewed but e fit be anytime since money is not their problem

Salary yet to be reviewed?
Are you sure

I don't know what modalities the IGP will take to curb this menace.
First the said it was because of poor salaries, now their pay is better.
I just don't understand why the chose to go this route.

chigoziri2403:
Promise me, son, not to do the things I've done
Walk away from trouble if you can
Now it won't mean you're weak if you turn the other cheek
I hope you're old enough to understand
Son, you don't have to fight to be a man"

Good to notice we have country song listeners on this platform.

Balablue64:

You are unbelievable!!!!

I think that man is just waiting for you to die so he can inherit all you have.

Don't kill yourself in the name of marriage.
