RiversRerun: INEC officials compromised

https://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=youtu.be&v=16g2FU2brmU This is not only about Gov Wike,  but it is so much for INEC officials who had allowed politicians to bribe them. Some politician threatened to kill you, and you answered , 'no problem'.  It means you have collected his dirty money and you must do to his bidding. God save us all.

Yahya Jameh : Africa is a playground for the superpower nations

After all President Yahya Jameh is not like former President Jonathan of Nigeria. Nigerian social media space has been awash with similarity to conceding defeat by both persons. Perhaps Mr. Jameh had felt threatened by this comparism which had pushed him into rescinding his earlier televised acceptance of defeat by the opposition candidate. But on a serious note, the Gambian President changed his decision to hand over power because the opposition had taken a position to imprisoned him immediately he stepped out of power. The electoral commission also did not help matters having shifted grounds from an earlier official results score of 45% and later dropped the score to 43% win for the opposition. This official uncertainty of results has bolstered Jameh's defiance; that if the electoral body could be changing result percentages it meant there was fraud somewhere in the collation. Mr Jameh had earlier accused the international community of 'dubious interference' in Gambia...

Educating Reno Omokri by Lauretta Onochie

Some years ago, I met a wonderful Nigerian/Canadian man, who was not only an intellectual but has made a mark as an entrepreneur in Canada. During one of our many discussions, he expressed delight that his personal friend, Barack Obama, had won the nomination to run as the President of the United States of America under the Democrats. A few weeks later, my friend was very unhappy. The source of his unhappiness? He was eager to support his friend financially. But he was not an American citizen and so, was PROHIBITED by law, American law, from contributing to his friend, Obama's campaign funds. So, I was mortified that Reno Omokri does not, in 2016, know this fact before embarking on fabricating a story about President Muhammadu Buhari part funding Mrs. Hilary Clinton's campaign with a whooping $500 Million! And under this economic hardship that Reno's paymasters bequeathed to Nigerians? Reno Omokri obviously views America through the lens of PDP where even funds app...

THINKING OUT OF THE BOX (3)

(3) Thinking out of the box An engineer in a car manufacturing company designs a world class car. The owner is impressed with the outcome and praised him a lot. While trying to bring out the car from the manufacturing area to the office they realised that the car is few inches taller than the entrance. The engineer felt bad that he didn't notice this one before creating the car. The owner was worried about how to take it outside of the manufacturing area. The painter said that they can bring out the car and there will be few scratches on top of the car that he will do the tinkering later on. The engineer said that they can break the entrance and after taking the car out, they can cement it. The owner was not convinced with any ideas and felt like it is a bad sign to break or scratch. The watchman was watching all these drama and slowly approached the owner. He wanted to give them an idea on how to solve the problem. They looked at the watchman with disdain asking wha...

THINKING OUT OF THE BOX (2)

(2) THINKING OUT OF THE BOX One of the most memorable case studies on Japanese management was the case of the empty soapbox, which happened in one of Japan's biggest cosmetics companies. The company received a complaint that a consumer had bought a soapbox that was empty. Immediately the authorities isolated the problem to the assembly line, which transported all the packaged boxes of soap to the delivery department. For some reason, one soapbox went through the assembly line empty. Management asked its engineers to solve the problem. Post-haste, the engineers worked hard to devise an X-ray machine with high-resolution monitors manned by two people to watch all the soapboxes that passed through the line to make sure they were not empty. No doubt, they worked hard and they worked fast but they spent a whoopee amount to do so. But when a file employee in India in a small company was posed with the same problem, he did not get into complications of X-rays, etc., but instead came...

THINKING OUT OF THE BOX. (1)

When NASA began the launch of astronauts into space, they found out that the pens wouldn't work at zero gravity (Ink won't flow down to the writing surface). To solve this problem, it took them one decade and $12 million. They developed a pen that worked at zero gravity, upside down, underwater, in practically any surface including crystal and in a temperature range from below freezing to over 300 degrees C. And what did the Russians do? They used a pencil.
