Constitution review is ongoing and i was expecting we'd bring all the #EndSars energy and coordination to bear. Except for Lagos thats demanding for special status, many other states are fooling around and the few youth who have approached the hearing committee are the clowniest.
Youths & us in mid-life, who have been pressed most & would probably be pressed further in the future are up & about jesting about UAR instead of being vociferous on salient issues. This was how British aged & dying puritans decided Brexit, while their young were busy wassaping.
Some people from Aba are asking for Adada state. There's a lot of babbling about of fiscal federalism by people who barely understand the bureaucratic labyrinth this requires. The recent APC's LG primaries in Lagos should tell you a fiscal fed system will end in tear.
We had to pass a law pursuing parity for HND & BSc because we copied UK's technical education system, without systems for systems decomposition that brings learning outcomes to bear, in our occupational culture. Polytechnics ought to produce electrical technicians, not engineers.
UK doesnt have a written constitution but has an extensive spread of a formidable human institutions. Fiscal federalism requires a very high technical & vocational competence at d local government level than we have. But as a rule of thumb, most of our LGs don't employ graduates.
Auntie Kate from her gym priority has alibied that the review hearing are holding in porsche hotels. No be these people dey borrow homes act movies? At the end, only a few will put in the detailed work required for this constitutional review. Una go still come back to cry. 😃

REAL MEN GET THINGS DONE
Its abominable that your wife is unemployed and you are jobless too as a father of a child or children. A man and his wife lost their jobs at about same time in the economic slump of 2015 and there was nothing to turn to. Ong, lack is worse than poverty!
In poverty, nothing triggers your desire, as all your neighbours and friends are poor too. Lack is the least mean square of the combined poverty of you, wife, and children in an environment where others can, but you cant, because of wherewithal. Your neighbour better pass you.
I didn't have the money to help but I said to them, "let's sell minerals (soft drinks)." My proposal was to set up a stand at Ogba Bus stop. The woman didn't like the idea as a former corporate person but the man said, "look i will do it because its my duty to feed this family."
UNKNOWN GUN MEN OF GUANAJUATO
Like ESN, Santa Rosa de Lima cartel started by promising people of Guanajuato in Mexico, freedom from taxes and govt oppression. Guanajuato jubilated the emancipation by hailing El Marro, "The Sledgehammer" when he started killing Mexico's police.
Santa Rosa de Lima successfully took Guanajuato local government as its territory by recruiting Guanajuato youths into its private military, but unknowingly to their parents, with proceeds from oil theft and gun-point kidnapping in Hildago. A deadly drug haven is born!
Guanajuato Mexicans in America were praising El Marro, the don of Santa Rosa de Lima, until he started holding guns to the head of their aged parents in Guanajuato, asking their children studying in America to return home, to export drugs as forced human couriers to the US.
A NATION OF SELF HATRED
No matter how long you have lived abroad, your mind will never stop pondering at the mess we collectively made ourselves into, both govt and citizens alike. I typically don't like tweeting about it because of the showoff perception it may probably create.
Pictures above are Services Parks created along a major highway, M4 to Wales from London. There are many signs warning motorists to take a break at the service parks. Our bus drivers have killed many interstate travellers due to deliberate disregard for fatigue as a driving risk.
It got so bad that govt started considering giving guns to Road Safety Officers. Every enforcement in Nigeria is punitive, well rightly so because many behave like goats. Villain and victims. SARS didn't fall from heaven. They are people's depraved uncles, cousins and parents.
IS DANGOTE TRULY AN IDIOT?
Femi Otedola has Diploma in Printing. Cosharis, Ibeto, Eleganza, BigiCola, Doyin, Innoson & Mrs Alakija all benefitted from the Nigerian state. They barely studied in a university. You will never see this kind of delusional bigotry put out against them.
I will donate £4000 to the school, If @AfamDeluxo will mention the school, what forum and the academic profile of his Russian professor that has this opinion about Dangote. Same set of people always making up stories that "Dangote is Dangote because he makes cement in Nigeria."
@AfamDeluxo's Russian Professor may not have heard about Saipem-Dangote before?
Dangote has stakes in oil & gas production SPVs in GoM, Nigeria and Mozambique. There's Dangote Cement in Tanzania, Ethiopia and 10 other countries. @DoubleEph said he's mixing sand with cement. 😃
COLONIAL PIPELINE PAID $5MILLION RANSOME TO HACKERS
E-Banditary in America.
How was the $5Million cyber-ransome collected? Gumi ti wa l'America. Before y'all kill yourselves over Nigeria, its abundantly clear civilization is fragile than we think. nytimes.com/2021/05/13/us/…
Many countries in the calibre of America have grown, not only because they have good leaders in quote. Unlike ours, Its because they have fewer people working against the country from within, compared to the number of citizens making concerted effort to build it.
After a badly managed Covid-19 response, a president trying to upturn election outcome and the invasion of its Congress, America has seen grid collapse in texas, fuel scarcity, with hackers getting away with $5Million ransome. You should all expect more to come.
GRID COLLAPSE: THE TRUE PICTURE
As much as grid collapse is undesirable, its an event of safety instrumented systems doing what grid engineers want. Its indispensable for safety of lives & protection of equipment. It is our current best approach to Under-Frequency Load Shedding.
The most common cause of under frequency load shedding in Nigeria is unexpected trip or loss of supply from a single or multiple power stations due to equipment failure. This borders on reliability engineering and it will remain a problem until God delivers the world from China.
Big countries compensate for under frequency disturbance with huge generation & expensive smart grid. Until we have intelligent busbar in our Substations, we must choose between grid collapse, which takes shorter time to restore, or lose power generation, nationwide, completely!
