The Unknown Enemies of Nigeria



In Nigeria, almost everyone is always complaining about the bad living standards. We all agree we have had series of misLeaders rather than leaders...but there is some hypocrisy going on here.Most Nigerians are pretending. Yes, they are pretending as if those that ruin and are ruining this country are unknown.

They say, 'Our Public office holders are corrupt' but they hold people holding these offices in high esteem.

The same people that ruined this country are those we wish could grace our parties or anniversaries as 'special guest of honor'.

They are the same people we wish we knew so that they could 'connect' us.

They are the same people we troop in numbers to protest in support of when they are being prosecuted.

They are the same people we think highly of; confering them chieftainship titles.

They are the same people we will hold 'Welcome Home Parties' for when they leave public office, for a 'job well done'.

They are the same people we will go online to defend.

Our politicians are very smart, they know how to loot the wealth of this nation and get Nigerians to defend them. They have successfully planted the seed of Tribalism in us. They will unite together to loot this nation and look up to their tribal or religious brothers and sisters to defend them when they are being prosecuted.

We know we have enemies, we know them but pretend not to because they are our 'people'.

Until our Politicians know that there is nowhere to hide whem they steal public funds, until they know that 'their people' will not defend them when they are facing the wrath of the law, until they know Nigerians cannot be manipulated accross tribal and religious difference. Until then, we will continue to fight the 'unknown' enemies of Nigeria.

Domainking Crash: How to get your domain back

It's still a shock to those of us that hosted sites and registered domains with domainking Nigeria that our sites and domains are gone. For website designers, it was a real mess, how do one explain to clients that the site they paid for is gone? I bet most of us lost clients to the mess. In this post I will be explaining to those that registered domains with domainking.ng how they can retrieve their domains back (as I did to mine). One thing we must know is that, domainkingNigeria is just a domain reseller , they actually register domains with publicdomainregistry.com (PDR). Now to move your domain, you need to contact PDR to help you move your domain to another reseller . Luckily for me, I found another reseller of PDR named Qservers . The following are steps to moving your domain: First register with Qservers Download and fill this form from PDR here NOTE: you have to fill the form manually, then scan it. Since you are transferring to qservers, you will

Humans do not want to change their minds

I'm having a rethink about the the title of this post, maybe it should have been "Humans do not want to be told to change their". In other to protect our ego, we humans resist being told that we are wrong - whether its about our favorite football club or about our religion or about the politicians we choose to support - we feel that our ego is threatened when we are told by others that we are wrong. Permit me to share with you an excerpt from James Harvey Robinson’s enlightening book 'The Mind in the Making:' "We sometimes find ourselves changing our minds without any resistance or heavy emotion, but if we are told we are wrong, we resent the imputation and harden our hearts. We are incredibly heedless in the formation of our beliefs, but find ourselves filled with an illicit passion for them when anyone proposes to rob us of their companionship. It is obviously not the ideas themselves that are dear to us, but our self-esteem which is threatened. .

Dear Parents, Stop Killing Us:

Our parents are increasingly forgetting that the child is more important than the grade. In a bid to get the child the grade,  they create someone who thinks that cutting corners is the way to get things done.  In a bid to make the child "happy", they create someone who believes hard work is for people who can't afford the cost of cutting corners.  Our parents have forgotten that they can get us good grades but the good things that really matter come from hardworking. You can get me a job,  but you can't get me job satisfaction. Our parents are forgetting that their God-given responsibility is to bring up the child and not his report card. Our parents are helping us get special examination centers so that we can "make our results at once" rather than teaching us to study smart.  Our parents are telling us that we can get anything we want just because we want them and not because we are ready to work for them. Our
