2019 General Elections' Predictions

Image
                                                I hate to predict election results, but I couldn't resist this one, as it turns out to be very profound. And I honestly place data over sensation. While I have been silent for the most part, on the issues concerning these elections, particularly the presidential elections; what may not be obvious is that I have been quietly researching and making political calculations on the presidential elections specifically, given the interplay of the multi-component variables involved. It's also important to note that I huave consulted very widely with key sources and political actors who are by no means to be considered frivolous or superfluous and have no reasons to flatter me. This prediction is purely based on scientific trend analysis and may clearly be against popular sentiments or known order. If the prediction offends y...

Photography And School: Are They The Real World?

Image
Photography and School: Lessons To Learn As A Commercial photographer This lectures may or may not be applicable to other photography fields. 1. School is Not the Real World The fact that you did really well in school and that your teachers loved you means nothing at all in the real world. Yes, taking great pictures is really important, but even more important is how well you run your business. Are you good at marketing yourself, negotiating, networking, pitching yourself on a conference call, managing cash flow, etc? Do you like business? 2. It’s Really Hard to Become and Stay a Successful Commercial Photographer Let’s say you work hard enough and are lucky enough to build a good client base. You will always be working just as hard to find your next clients and keeping your existing clients. A commercial photographer who becomes lazy is a broke photographer. The unfortunate reality of this industry is that fruits come to those who labor the most. 3. You Will Not Want to Be a ...

DRUMS OF WAR?

Image
Written by Anonymous. Reposted by Dee-Why Pumpy Media. As ethnic lords from the North, East, West and South continue in efforts to trigger a second civil war, international military hardware merchants who brainwashed the foreign based agitators to employ an uncompromising attitude are instigating and preparing to sell their arms while we get our parents, wives and children ready to pay the bitter prices. The gullible ones believe war is the answer and provoking same by their words and actions each passing day, the unwise ones are so selfish and inconsiderate, refusing to caution their people, thinking that their families or any part of the country will be immune to the consequences of a possible 2017 civil war simply because they didn't participate in the agitation. Perhaps, many do not know that the Civil War didn't extend beyond Ore to the West and didn't exceed Benue to the North. At the very end, both gladiators (Gowon & Ojukwu) lived because they never set foot...

There Are Only Two Tribes In Nigeria

"Tribalism is not our problem. Tribalism and religion are artificial problems created by selfish leaders for their own personal interest."-Anonymous Originally By Emir Of Kano Sanusi Lamido Reposted by: Dee-Why Pumpy Media u are a commoner or suffering, you belong to the tribe of the masses. If you are an elite, and you need more power, or elective position, you sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, so as to sway their emotion for your personal victory. This happens at both the national and state level. Unfortunately, after the election when they have won and joined their “sworn enemies” to drink and party, the gullible masses continue to fight each other.‎ Even smart people who belong to the masses, sometimes will sow seeds of tribalism and religion among the masses, and then the masses will carry them up until they belong to the elite class.  It is a classic strategy used over 3000 years ago in the art of war. A commoner who aspires to sit with the elite...
