5G Conspiracy, Misogyny and Downstream Stupidity

By Bamidele Ademola-Olateju

I wasted 24 minutes of my life yesterday on a voice note making the rounds. I ignored it at first because I don't listen to voice notes. I have been threatened through one before. One guy even thought he can command me to do myself harm but he picked the wrong target. Later, I had to listen to this one because I got it from so many people, I lost count.
The Kunle who mentioned himself and later plead for his identity to be protected went from Trump is the savior of the world trope, 5G will kill us with radiation, cancer, death by evaporated blood, to the mark of the beast 666, to a democratic president and a woman vice president of the United States, who will be the antichrist.

What a world we live in! This conspiracy did not provoke laughter. It looks to me as the consequence of dumbness and downstream stupidity, we must protect the world from. I feel insulted by the sharing these things gets in our information ecology. This guy packaged information and sold it as evidence. I would not have bothered but this mental bullshit from a right wingnut and fanatic woman hater got me. The widespread sharing of his memetic nonsense show how we are conditioned to interpret information based on education, experiences, religion, and politics among other affectations.

This misogynist could not hide his fear of a woman president of the United States. I wish I could liberate him from the bondage he is in. The fear of Hillary types; the strong alpha females that is determined to break every barrier is driving this man M.A.D! What has the 666 got to do with 5G and deaths? Every technology has its downside like every other thing in the world. Being born has its own disadvantages since living has its costs. In life, we constantly evaluate the opportunity cost of a decision or a thing.

The CT Scan and MRI will use today all use nuclear stuff to slice the body into images that can reveal pathology or malignancy, should we stop using them? Was there 5G when the world had bubonic plaque of when the Egyptians were afflicted before Christ? I can write the psychological profile of this guy but I don't want this to get too long. 

The female train has left the station since the Iron triangle of childbearing, marriage and sex was broken with contraception. That was five decades ago. The liberation of women and their ascendancy is unstoppable. What men like Kunle needs is how to protect the Y-Chromosome from extinction by feminization and loss of testosterone.

Quick Facts About (Payment for) Kwara Citizenship Certificate

 1. The state of origin (citizenship) certificate is issued by the relevant LGA claimed by applicants. 2. Until now, different payments are to be made by two different sets of applicants for the certificate. There is N2500 (which comprises N2000 for the LGA issuing the certificate while the KW-IRS gets N462.50. The balance is for bank charges). This N2500 is paid to the KW-IRS which then remits N2000 to the appropriate LGA. If you are a civil servant or you have evidence of Personal Income Tax (PIT), all you need to pay to get the certificate of state of origin (citizenship) is just the N2500. No more, no less. Any other charge is not known to the Kwara State Government. Two, there is extra N1500 Personal Income Tax which is collected at the point of collecting the certificate. But this N1500 applies ONLY to applicants whose parents (or themselves) are not civil servants or do not have evidence of payment of their Personal Income Tax.

COVID-19 and Kwara's capacity to hold its own

By Rafiu Ajakaye  This is no good time for mankind — no thanks to the deadly Coronavirus, or COVID-19. The virus is giving the most powerful of nations a good run for their money, technological know-how, and oft-touted readiness to face down any threat from anywhere. As of 10:37p.m. on March 29, the virus has affected 199 countries across all the continents with at least 718,656 cases (of which 533, 847 are confirmed), and 33,891 deaths. At 9:30p.m. on Sunday, Nigeria had 111 confirmed cases with one death.  What is scary about the virus is not its death rate which has been adjudged to be low. What is scary is the exponential rate at which it spreads and the consequences it could have on the public health sector. Given the much-advertised lapses in the health sector, Nigerians are expectedly worried about the spread of the virus. In Kwara, citizens have repeatedly asked about the state of preparedness in the wake of rising infections nationwide.  To be clear, ...
