The Consequences Of Using Propaganda To Pursue A Cause

The Consequences Of Using Propaganda To Pursue A Cause

April 8, 2020 9:25 am

Propaganda is a gimmick, a misleading information, very biased and often times quite unscrupulous in nature to achieve or propagate a certain political agenda.

It is often used by marauders and profiteers to sway opinion so that they will continue to rip off their unsuspecting targets.

Using Propaganda for any purpose is the height of foolery because sooner or later people that it is being used on to achieve a purpose will defintely realise the truth and come to see the deception and falsehood.

This realisation often ridicules the people involved in it and renders them valueless among the people.…

Correcting The Misconception About 5G

Correcting The Misconception About 5G

April 7, 2020 8:46 am
Currently, there’s a lot of ignorance and misconception being peddled about 5G network particularly in Africa and the level of ignorance is not only laughable but very pitiable considering the fact that it’s emanating from supposedly educated youths who ought to be researching to contribute to the technological advancement of the world.
It’s  pertinent to clear this shameful ignorance hovering around our youthful generation if Africa is to make headway in future as the world certainly will tilt towards the dynamics of 5G in no distant time.
The waves which form the basis of 5G are non-ionizing.
This basically means

3 Things In Life That Are Totally Not Worth It

3 Things In Life That Are Totally Not Worth It

April 6, 2020 7:11 am

Youtube is filled with life coaches. Many of them bathing in the narratives of their own success.

“I was down and out. Nobody believed in me. Then — I started working out.”
Lambo.

The world was against them. Then they rose from the ashes.

Martyrdom: it’s a common trope.

We’ll set aside the extravagant fees these guys charge. We’ll ignore the fact that many of them don’t even own the cars they are posing in front of. We can even disregard that they aren’t living the lives that they’re selling.

Doesn’t it bother you just a bit that everything …

Biafra Will Not Be Until I, The Lord Will Permit It

Biafra Will Not Be Until I, The Lord Will Permit It

April 6, 2020 6:27 am

The coronavirus will become history by the end of April.  I, the Lord did not create the pestilence, it came by man made. Many are worried about how it will end. Get a bowl of water add salt to it read, psalm 91 and drink a spoonful of palm oil.

Biafra will not be until ‘I the Lord will permit it.’ It will be a waste of resources for anybody agitating for it. Kanu should watch his back because they are coming for him. So, he should be careful, even among his people, because they will sell him out. There …

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome’s Ignorance Of 5G

April 5, 2020 11:30 pm

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome certainly falls into the category of marauders swindling innocent people of their hard earned money under the guise of being divinely endowed to deliver humanity from the midst of chaotic disorder.

He parades himself a healer or one whom the mythical Jesus uses to heal the sick yet Coronavirus is reportedly ravaging the world and suddenly his healing powers have ceased existing instead he has turned into a conspiracy theorist over night.

Obviously, he is among those folks who have amassed wealth with the Bible which they are using to suspend the cognitive resonance of their followers …

General Olusegun Adeniyi - Is Nigeria Allergic To truth

General Olusegun Adeniyi: Is Nigeria Allergic To truth?

April 2, 2020 7:41 am

Subterfuge. Propaganda. Lies. All have a date with truth. The truth is inexorable; it will always extinguish lies and propaganda. Nigeria’s ‘’successes’’ in the war against Boko Haram have been largely propaganda. Since 2015, when the Buhari administration declared the insurgents a conquered group, the combat campaign has been oxygenated by lies and half-truths.

In March, 2020, about 70 soldiers, including a major and three officers, were killed in an ambush by Boko Haram insurgents.

The troops, on operation Ayiso Tamonuma, plodded into an ambush as they trudged into Goniri area in Yobe, and were trounced by the insurgents who …

Do Not Cry For Abba Kyari And Co

Do Not Cry For Abba Kyari And Co

March 26, 2020 9:44 am

On Tuesday, the news broke that the Chief of Staff to the Nigerian president, Abba Kyari, tested positive for COVID-19. Three of his aides reportedly also tested positive. Same Tuesday, it was announced that the Bauchi State governor, Sen. Bala Mohammed, also tested positive. Then, there is the son of former Vice President, Atiku Abubakar, whose test result was announced on Saturday. Given how many people close to them they might have huddled before diagnoses, we will never know how far and wide they spread the virus.

About a year ago, The Avengers’ Endgame was all the rage. Looking at …

Terrorism Goes To School

Terrorism Goes To School

March 9, 2020 4:23 pm

I made up my mind long ago that I have had enough education; that is, I was not going to return to school anymore. It was not that I could not do without a doctorate but because I could hardly afford the bill now that I had started raising a family. I felt it was wiser to take a bow and sacrifice my chances in order to give my children the best education as much as I could. Ever since, that has been my singular devotion and I thank God things are falling in pleasant places.

Moreover, some artisan made …

Another Look At The Real Trouble With Magu

Another Look At The Real Trouble With Magu

March 7, 2020 10:10 am

Abimbola Adelakun’s “The Real Trouble With Magu” in her Thursday, March 5, 2020 Back Page Column in The PUNCH,  came as  a rude shock.  For a national newspaper with the history and mileage of The PUNCH,  such a libelous, defamatory and uncouth characterisation of the Acting Executive Chairman of the Economic And Financial Crimes Commission,  EFCC, Mr. Ibrahim Magu, as a “dingbat”, “dim-witted” and “he did not get his job by merit” by a columnist that knows next to nothing about the operational technicalities of the EFCC and the resourcefulness of its Chief Executive,  is not only brazen but …

Nigeria Is Exporting Terrorists To US – Mazi Nnamdi Kanu

March 1, 2020 10:34 am

The leader of Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB), Mazi Nnamdi Kanu why speaking on Radion Biafra during yesterday’s broadcast reveal that Nigeria’s government is exporting Boko Haram terrorists to the US and the world at large under the guise of offering some members of Boko Haram scholarship to study abroad. It will be recalled that the United States recently announced a ban for an immigrant visa for Nigerians and other countries. And this has not gone well with some Nigerians as many accuse the US President Donald Trump of racism even after stating the reason for the ban which is …

How President Goodluck Jonathan Failed Olisa Metuh

February 26, 2020 7:33 am

When the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission charged Olisa Metuh the former Publicity Secretary of the People’s Democratic Party for laundering funds meant for the war against Boko Haram, Metuh had explained that he could not have known the source of the funds Col Sambo Dasuki (the National Security Adviser) gave him.

He went further to explain that the said 400million Naira his company received was for a stated national assignment approved by the then-sitting president Dr. Goodluck Jonathan.

To defend himself therefore he requested the Justice Okon Abang led court to subpoena the former President and Col Sambo Dasuki …

Bayelsa

Bayelsa And The Fall Of A Narccist

February 25, 2020 9:53 am

Following the inauguration of the reconstituted National peace Committee of the All progressive Congress, it is widely anticipated that the Chief Bisi Akande led Committee will resolve all lingering issues considered to be fuelling the hostilities within the ranks of the ruling party. Regrettably, the nullification of the electoral victory of the candidate of the All Progressive Congress at the Bayelsa State Governorship Election by Supreme Court appears to have undermined this glimmer of hope. Apparently, the pronouncement of the Apex court presents a window of opportunity for a section within the party hierarchy, which has consistently advocates for the …
