A different prespective to Life

  Note: I was told of this presentation by a lecturer of mine in secondary school, another in University and never had the opportunity of reading the whole thing until I found it on the internet recently. This lecture I have heard of in parts and snippets and not as a whole article as first published in Daily Times Newspaper of January 1st, 1964. But I always got the general gist.  Tai Solarin was seen as a general critic and a moral crusader of the generation that I grew up in, in Nigeria. However, like another government critic, Prof Wole Soyinka, IBB knew how to deal with them. As a critic who had no job but to criticize it is easy, he gave Tai the People's Bank and Wole he gave Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC). In 1989, The Peoples Bank was founded by the government, and Tai Solarin became the first chairman. The bank was created to disburse soft loans and other forms of credit to the very poor to start their own businesses. But this was a problem as it was filled wit...

  This is a documentary on how a small company had found out how it could "Hack" the democratic process of the Western world using data. The idea was to identify the voters on the border fence who had not made up their minds, then bombard them with specifically targeted advertisements that had already been mean tested and proven to change the minds of the test sample to produce the required result.   Ms Britteny Kaiser At the beginning of the film, a woman whom we later know to be Miss Brittany Kaiser was at what looked like a Parliamentary Inquiry, answering questions. They were asking about her morals after working as an intern for Obama, Amnesty International, various Human Rights Organisations, Ministry of Agriculture and later for Cambridge Analytical, which were responsible for Brexit and Trump's victory later, it seems. She indicated while working for the Obama campaign and the Human Rights Organisations, they paid her very little money and at times nothing at all....

 When most people say they are doing their "own research" today, especially on the COVID Vaccine, they don't mean they're yearning for other phenomena that could explain the results, sceptically and scientifically. All they mean is that they enter the words "COVID Vaccine" into Google and read up on it. They are not conducting any scientific experiments or collecting data. Unfortunately, most of them do not think critically or understand the scientific method. They have primarily been trained in communication, politics, business, accounts, arts, etc. and fail to realise science is a totally different kettle of fish. They are not doing research the way we scientists would define it. They just mean that they would look deeper into it or, in some cases, just look at it again. Regarding the Scientific Method, Aristotle is often credited with inventing it; it analyses the logical implications in demonstrative discourse, goes beyond natural logic, and does not de...

I was happy when one of my sons approached me to buy him a book. I usually make sure that I keep them reading, which I believe is better than playing computer games. He finished the Harry Potter and Hunger Games series, etc., and I was looking for the next challenge he would take, and the fact that it seems to be recommended by his school came to me as a surprise. I brought the book for him on Amazon, listened to my audio version, and hoped to beat him to the end. But the title seemed provocative, which makes me think, "what were they are actually teaching him at the school?" - fearing that it might be some socialism ultra far-left liberal thing. Especially knowing that our educational institutions are often filled with liberal elites who are progressive, and they might want to politicize the children. I did not want to bring up a mini Black Panther recruit under my roof and facilitated his induction by supplying reading materials. But later, going through its preface, which ...

  I just finished watching a documentary on BBC titled "Blair & Brown: The New Labour Revolution". This documentary levels us on the relationship between the two of the most outstanding personalities that have ever influenced the Labour Party since it started about one hundred years ago. Gordon Brown has Labour in his blood, his father was a minister in the Church of Scotland, and he saw the closure of the textile mills and then the coal mines in his area around Kirkcaldy, which had an effect on him . His oratory skills are said to be like in the manner of an evangelical preacher, something maybe he picked up from his father. Brown saw the effect of unemployment on the community and was very active in community services. Brown spoke there to keep and maintain the already converted, the Labour faithful, the core Labour base. At the University of Edinburgh, as a doctoral graduate in history, he became the university elected rector, and he was active in student politics. He...

  Although the British seem always to come out as the bad guys, especially in popular culture. All the villain actors of the evil "The Empire" in the blockbuster Hollywood hit film Star Wars seem to have distinctive upper-class British accents.  Emperor Palpatine , who reigns over this intergalactic evil Empire, talks with a British accent. British actors have played villains or a role taken by American actors using British accents. The idea is that once you see the leading actor speaking with a British accent in a Hollywood movie, they are likely to be a villain. Although the British could be considered evil in many respects, the Atlantic Salve trade, causing wars, genocide, forcing Opium on the Chinese and the occasionally regime change, to name a few. The book claims that it was also a force for good. It has spread its form of Christianity to millions and is responsible for the widespread usage of English as an international language. The abolition of the Slave T...

  According to this book by Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Sapiens (modern man) is only about 200, 000 years old and originated in East Africa. It is not biblical but purely scientific, mainly archaeological, geological, and anthropological. In this explanation, he believes that  70,000 years ago, Homo Sapiens emerged out of Africa. Sixteen thousand (16,000) years ago, Homo Sapiens settled in America, hunting most American large animals to extinction, Australia and where every they settled, Homo Sapiens caused the extinction of other species.  By 12,000 years ago, domestication of plants and animals started, leading to the first permanent human settlement - The agricultural revolution. Then about 5,000 years ago, the first kingdoms, scripts and money started. The next important dates were about 500 years ago was the Renaissance in Europe that man admits his ignorance and looks to science. Then 200 years ago was the Industrial revolution placed Europe above the rest of the worl...
