Our biggest mistake as a generation is that we cannot sit down and talk things through. We simply change our attitude, cut people off, and never bother to hear their side of the story. Ego has found a home in our hearts, and genuine people have been replaced by fake ones.
Earlier this month, all graduated students were asked to submit their JAMB admission letter and a copy of their NIN for screening, probably to be screened for the senate list for NYSC. Mine was rejected due to name mismatch My name is correctly spelt , just needed rearrangement. Also the course given to me by JAMB was different from what I actually studied. So I needed to make two corrections, Correction of names and change of program. I quickly headed to the JAMB state office here in kaduna and that was where my rough experience started. Getting there, I was amazed seeing the queue. Many students were there for different reasons. I had to sit and wait on the queue for many hours [b]just to make payments.[\b] while waiting in the outer hall, I could hear complaints about the network issue, which was part of the reason for the delays. After waiting and waiting, it got to my turn to make my payments, but it was time for afternoon prayers, only one person was in charge of the collection of payments and they had only one POS. When he saw me, he initially told me he will not attend to me because he's going for prayers. The disappointment I felt after waiting on the queue for hours. He was attending to someone who was supposed to be his last and they were having issues and he quickly turned to me, and that was my luck! After making payments, I thought my problem was over, only to be told to join the queue again, some people have been there since yesterday. I peered into the main room where they were attending to students, the workers were few, they also had few equipments, the network was fluctuating, they only had 1 camera to capture all the students there, the printer was misbehaving. For me, the most appalling observation was that the organization there lacked a form of structure, like the workers there did whatever they liked and was not accountable to anybody, it looked like any of the workers could close for the day or go out any time they like. After making my payment, I was just left alone standing there alone. When I asked the lady that processed my payments what next, she said I should meet anybody available. The whole process was just disorganized honestly. I couldn't continue my application for regularization and correction of names that day. I had to come back the next day. My question is, is this how things are done elsewhere or because it's Nigeria?

One of the daughters of veteran Yoruba actor, Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo, Kira Taiwo, has accused some Nigerians of trying to make money from her father’s battle with stage-four cancer. Kira made the allegation during an emotional TikTok live session on Saturday, where she sobbed while speaking about her father’s condition and the financial demands allegedly being made by some people offering to help the family. “My father is a good father. Some people are even trying to make money with us in this whole situation. Fear God. This one will come and bring solution, N800k, N5m, 11,000 dollars, N18,000 dollars. Do you want to make us broke? We are not billionaires,” she said. She said the family was not financially capable of meeting such demands, stressing that their priority was to find treatment for the actor. She also disclosed that the situation was taking a toll on her own wellbeing. “I want to check my BP, I am not okay too,” she said. Kira said the actor’s illness had also deeply affected his brother, whom she referred to as her “big daddy”. She said she learnt about her uncle’s reaction from a family group chat where relatives regularly discuss her father’s health. “That was the video my big daddy saw and on the group chat, where we always have our discussion about daddy’s health, I saw my cousin wrote something like, my big daddy was asking ‘Is Taiye going to die?’” she said. Kira said her father and his brother shared a particularly close relationship, making the situation difficult for everyone in the family. “My big daddy and my daddy, we are the children, we don’t even know who they love more. We don’t even know if it is we who are being or themselves. It is too much. My big daddy loves my daddy too much,” she said. She said she was also worried about her uncle, adding that she believed he was struggling to cope with the situation. “I am sure my big daddy is not okay, he is not fine. He is not fine. I don’t know,” Kira said. The actor’s daughter said she had become withdrawn and avoided social media because she found it difficult to see pictures of her father while dealing with his illness. “I don’t know how I will feel. I don’t even know how I will see the world again. If anything happens to my daddy… Please don’t think I am here to ask for sympathy or anything,” she said. Kira said she had gone online to “cool off” but became emotional because of how deeply connected she was to her father. “I am so connected to my daddy. Nothing can be okay, ever. He just want the best for everybody. He just want everybody to be okay,” she said. PUNCH Online had reported that Kira and her sister, Lima Taiwo, recently appealed for help for their father, disclosing that he was battling stage-four cancer. The daughters made separate emotional appeals on Instagram, urging Nigerians, well-wishers and medical professionals with experience in cancer treatment to help save the actor. In her video, Lima said Ogogo’s condition had deteriorated and that hospitals had refused to continue treating him. She said the family only discovered the extent of his illness about three weeks earlier because his physical appearance had not initially suggested that he was seriously ill. You see him, you can’t even know that. Something is wrong that bad. It’s just starting to show. We didn’t even know until like three weeks ago,” she said. Lima stressed that the family was not asking for financial donations but medical assistance. “Please, I’m begging you. If you know somebody that knows somebody that will be willing to treat him, anything, we’re willing to try anything. We’re not here to ask for money. Nobody’s here to ask for money,” she said. She also acknowledged the support provided by a relative during the family’s difficult period. “My big uncle has helped a lot. He has been of great help. Like, nobody even knew that he would show up for us this way,” Lima said. In a separate video, Kira disclosed that her father’s cancer was at stage four and said hospitals had told the family they could no longer continue chemotherapy. “And I really, really, really love to appreciate Senator Yayi. He has been the one helping us, he has been the one footing the bills,” she said. Kira appealed to medical professionals and anyone with access to cancer treatment to assist the actor. “What I’m here for, what I’m here for is that if you can treat my daddy, if you can start chemo for him, whether it’s medical or herbs, please, I’m begging you, guys, I’m begging you, any help, anything, anybody that you know that can treat cancer, please, please, I’m begging you,” she said. She urged anyone with information about a medical professional or facility capable of treating cancer to contact her, her sister or the actor. Please, please, if you can treat my daddy, please send me a DM. I’ll be checking my phone. Please, I don’t want my daddy to die,” Kira said. The daughter became emotional while describing her father’s condition, saying she had never seen him in such pain. “God, give me strength. I’m suffering so bad. There’s no money, but if you know anybody that can treat my daddy, Andrew, please,” she said. Kira added that her father had expressed fear of dying, saying, “He’s saying that he doesn’t want to die. Please, I’ve never seen my daddy in that kind of pain before.” 66-year-old Ogogo is a veteran of the Nigerian film industry whose career spans more than four decades. He has featured in more than 300 films and is one of the prominent actors in Yoruba-language cinema. https://www.punchng.com/some-people-trying-to-profit-from-ogogos-illness-daughter" https://www.nairaland.com/8733981/ogogo-some-people-trying-profit#140419624

Imagine Ronaldo gets injured and misses a few games. Al-Nassr are just 2 points behind the league leaders, have qualified for the King’s Cup and are on a winning streak. Then Ronaldo returns. Suddenly, they’re 10 points behind, knocked out of the King’s Cup and on a five-game winless run. Sounds ridiculous, right? Now stop imagining. That’s literally what Messi has done to Inter Miami. Before Messi returned, Miami were just 2 points behind Nashville at the top of the Eastern Conference. Now they’re 10 points behind. Since his return, they’ve been knocked out of the Leagues Cup and gone five straight games without a win. And the media? Dead silent. 🤐 Let anything remotely negative happen around Cristiano, and these same so-called “credible” media outlets will run with it for days. They’ll dissect it, mock him, amplify it and turn it into a full-blown narrative. When it happens around Messi? Silence. I honestly can’t believe I grew up thinking these outlets were credible. I’m just realizing that much of what gets presented as “journalism” is actually paid PR and blatant bias dressed up as objectivity. #cristiano #ronaldo #messi #InterMiami #cr7 #barcelona #football #soccer #MLS #barca
