NIGERIANS WITH THEIR FALLACIOUS ASSERTIONS

Richard Oluseye Anthony

Hasty Generalization, this is not just about the philosophical fallacy, it is about what is in-play in our lives as Nigerians. It is no gain saying that Nigeria is among the most pluralist nations of the world and also one of the most under-developed nations of the world. Unlike other multi-cultural nations or state, Nigeria has failed to find strength in her diversity. Most Nigerians have one way or the other given a nippy generalization about other cultures that is not theirs, you hear assertions like; “people from the Yoruba tribe especially Ekiti are very stubborn; the Igbos (Ibos) are very selfish and stingy, the Northern people are very unfriendly”, and so forth….

Cancer more Deadly than HIV?

How much do you know about the killer virus called Cancer. Cancer as it is is a disease in which abnormal cells divide uncontrollably and destroy body tissue. One of the major cause of cancer is tide to smoking, according to research. When ask which one of the virus is more deadly, I will answer that cancer is more deadly, but both are deadly diseases. Although one can live with HIV for over ten years without feeling much pain and losing part of the body to the virus, it is not so with Cancer.

ALL FOR WHAT AND WHY?

@Roluseye

Our government is so pathetic and full of rubbish, mind you, I didn't say they are fools ooo... Imagine a building (Language Lab) in the Kwara State College of Education, Ilorin​ that has been completed over 7months ago, the governor of the state is now coming to do an official opening ceremony, all for what?
Well, that aside, the one that pains me more is the fact that some of my colleagues serving in the College are asking us to gather ourselves tomorrow (Today) to collect money from the governor when he comes visiting, I am asking, why?
This generation is consumed with a mind-set of reaping where we did not sow, in other words, corruption has eaten into the fabric and nucleus of our existence... In sort, corruption has become part of our life-style...
As Ayiam-Osigwe opines, we need to change our mind-set positively if we want to move to become a develop nation and this needed change of mind-set can only be achieved if our institutions are functional.
P.S. "Don't let us only change government, let us also change our mind-set"
