SORO SOKE IDEOLOGICAL SOMERSAULT:

Fellow Nigerians & Citizens of the World, there's a crisis that must be attended to IF we don't want our generation to go off the radar completely.
I've seen a clear Ideological somersault with our Soro Soke mindset. Abuse me later but READ👇

 In a way, I'm now very happy that #EndSARS crisis happened. Avoidable crisis IF Govt had been responsive & responsible enough to listen to the pulse of Nigerians irrespective of political affiliation before this event. Avoidable crisis IF Soro Soke folks had known when to stop!
Happy because the #EndSARS crisis had made some things clearer. It has separated boys from men in a way. It has exposed pseudo-intelligence & exposed the costly assumption that Social Media folks had.
So let me narrow down this ideological somersault to what we can learn from:
1. You have no advantage over those who are PARTISAN if you keep claiming being non-partisan.

You will keep running away from your shadow by thinking you as a human being is actually non-partisan or assuming you have no political sentiment.
In reality, there's nothing like that!
Here's is how to know where your political sentiment falls yakata into. Once you see your ability to suppress the error of a particular political party & amplify their success, that's where your sentiment lies.
ANYONE that's quick enough to AMPLIFY the error, you know the answer!
Once you settle this basic ideology with yourself, your confusion will reduce.
Stop acting against nature, there is nothing wrong with you being partisan & you are not at any advantage by claiming "ayam for Nigeria only". You will always join Shalaye FC by trying to cover up...
2. It's an Ideological somersault to keep saying PDP & APC are the same, when you are not voting for Youth party or "3rd force". You are confused o.
Ideally in any Nation, you will ALWAYS have just 2 parties at the National level. This is how to have sense in political talk.
Know what will work, imagining out of the blues that #EndSARS or any other protest will change established unwritten political code will keep you guys enjoying MIRAGE.
Only 2 parties can survive at the National Level per time.
Take this rule is the same everywhere in the world.
3. It's an Ideological Somersault to pontificate that "Rome was not built in a day" yet we want Police reform done before leaving the street in 2wks.
Just like Sesan & others have been lamenting since APC won on Saturday, it meant #EndSARS was political!

The ideological somersault of this tweet by @gbengasesan was to agree that "Social change takes time" at the same time insisting during EndSARS that Govt that responded to #5For5 immediately shouldn't be given time although with close monitoring.
Funny!
https://t.co/AL32SywehA
You guys are mistaking by linking #EndSARS protest to #LagosByeElection & feeling bad that @OfficialAPCNg won. By doing that, you obviously showed that you're partisan & worked to see @OfficialPDPNig enthroned.
You guys are overrating yourselves too much.
https://t.co/AL32SywehA
I was in Magodo during the #LagosByeElection & was surprised that only @TokunboAbiru campaigned across Magodo.
Soro Soke that Gbada was banking on were only on twitter cancelling APC in Lagos.
How do you agree that Social change takes time but Reform must be Instant noodle?
How do you CONCLUDE that Police Reform that affects ALL must be narrowed down as a political tool to use against just one political party you love to hate?
You have simply brought an end to the legitimacy of such protest by claiming that it was meant to end APC..Na you talk am o.
Have you watched Mummy Oby talk about #FixNigeria on paper? Very simple.
Ask her why JAMB didn't remit a dime under her as Education minister despite making billions from sales of form, she'll be MUTE.
Ask her if Obasanjo is corrupt, you will here new vocabularies...Soro Soke🤣
Apart from insults, you guys are not driving intellectual conversation here. You keep calling us "BMC" yet your brains aren't picking reality of Police Reform. How much is needed for the reform & how do you get it done? Will that be instant noodle package?
Reform or politics?
200M population, over 967,000kmsq
@PoliceNG budget is far less than $1bn for 2021. NYPD alone (One City in USA) 2021 budget is $5.62B.
The entire Police barracks must be brought down, Uniform, salary etc.. We keep showing reality but You want Soro Soke instant noodle reform.
I saw another ideological somersault that says "when it comes to elections, between two bad choices, not voting any is a credible choice".
The same minds that processed APC & PDP as 2 bad choices wouldn't stop having business transactions in millions with one or both bad choices.
How can a sane mind imagine @TokunboAbiru a candidate of @OfficialAPCNg as a bad choice just because of Gbadamosi of @OfficialPDPNig in an election that hope to demonize both parties? Can you unloose the shoe latchet of Abiru profiles in real life or that of Prof Mrs Daduut?🤣🤣
This arrogance that made someone during EndSARS to be forming "all knowledge" in IT against the Govt by asking you to get VPN so as not to be tracked. If you are close to 1/10 of Minister of Comms & Digital Economy profile/experience, we may have to run🤣

This funny ideological somersault of thinking "We know it all, they know nothing in Govt" clearly shows we are not in tune with what the problem is in Nigeria.
Police reform (any reform) is not the same as Political grandstanding.
The issue is not lack of people but COURAGE.
Soro Soke folks display ideological somersault by shouting Freedom of speech while gagging others with different views.
If you have known ANYONE you love to call "BMC" online or in real life, you would have known you are wasting your time, you can't bully them intellectually.
Good enough, some have exercised their right of choice by falling off from the so called "Buharists". They are now in your Soro Soke geng. Ask them, they will tell you the "Buharists BMC" you're fighting to suppress towards 2023 will always be ahead of you in LOCAL POLITICS.
It's an ideological somersault for you in your online covens thinking "youths" are now against APC & the next voter registration will be flooded by Soro Soke ONLY while APC will not mobilize more voters.
Have I told you that Soro Sokes are PDP coded folks? VOTES NO BE RETWEETS🚶

A lot of people don't understand that Trump & his incoming team didn't face a normal transition period, like it was over a in a matter of a few weeks or months.

The DOJ transition period JUST ENDED when Sessions left. Almost 2 exact years to get it there.

Pompeo at the CIA took over a year before he was done and ready to shift over to the State Department.

All kinds of stuff has been going on behind the scenes nobody leaks or talks about.

We only had the barest mention of the fact the Clinton Email investigation restarted

Nobody leaked in a year that Huber was deep diving into the Clinton Foundation.
Keep that in mind as all the usual suspects continue to INSIST nothing is happening/going to happen.

1/OK, data mystery time.

This New York Times feature shows China with a Gini Index of less than 30, which would make it more equal than Canada, France, or the Netherlands. https://t.co/g3Sv6DZTDE

That's weird. Income inequality in China is legendary.

Let's check this number.

2/The New York Times cites the World Bank's recent report, "Fair Progress? Economic Mobility across Generations Around the World".

The report is available here:

3/The World Bank report has a graph in which it appears to show the same value for China's Gini - under 0.3.

The graph cites the World Development Indicators as its source for the income inequality data.


4/The World Development Indicators are available at the World Bank's website.

Here's the Gini index: https://t.co/MvylQzpX6A

It looks as if the latest estimate for China's Gini is 42.2.

That estimate is from 2012.

5/A Gini of 42.2 would put China in the same neighborhood as the U.S., whose Gini was estimated at 41 in 2013.

I can't find the <30 number anywhere. The only other estimate in the tables for China is from 2008, when it was estimated at 42.8.

1. Now that Stan Lee is being eulogized far and wide, it's important to remember how marginal Stan Lee and his collaborators (Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko) were in the 1950s and 1960s.

2. Marvel Comics (before that Atlas) was just a cog in the machine of a bottom pulp publisher run by Martin Goodman, the husband of one of Lee's cousins. It was the lowest of the low in the publishing world.

3. Now Mario Puzo (not yet the author of the Godfather) shared offices with Stan Lee in the 1950s and 1960s. Puzo wrote for garrish men's adventure magazines and, like Lee, dreamed of writing a novel & breaking out. But Puzo looked down on Lee.

4. Flo Steinberg, 1960s secretary at Marvel: "They were always making jokes about us. They'd come in and giggle. mario Puzo would look in and would see us all working on his way to the office and say, 'Work faster, little elves. Christmas is coming.'"

5. When JFK was killed, the whole office of Magazine Management was stunned and quiet. Except Lee. He continued working. "He was still working on the comic books," Puzo said. "Like that was the most important thing in the world."

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
