The PRESIDENT and the OTHER "presidents" in the Presidency.

This thread is not about President Buhari's honouring the invitation of the @HouseNGR. Rather it is a mild exposè of what happens in the Presidency.

Read, Retweet & Share.

 The President of Nigeria and many other Presidents in the World are subjects of very severe and intense manipulation; even those that appear very strong willed.
Strongest among the manipulators are the First Ladies 😌, top aides, favoured ministers, senior government officials, old friends/school mates, traditional and religious leaders and even concubines!!! 😉😁
At other times, the head of the security apparatus is more influential than any persons or groups especially where movements are concerned.
You may or may not believe this... A Security Chief or detail can stop a whole president from attending a function or stopping over to greet a friend or even going out at all, based purely on his own personal interest, program or disposition.
Equally important are the ADCs and CSOs who often times determine access to the Presidents.
These two folks can virtually stop practically anyone from seeing the President no matter how relevant, important or powerful in government or the society at large. 😫😩
Most of the time, the President is a powerless hostage cordoned off in the Presidential villa often times doing the bidding of his subordinates! This is incongruous but very true. 🤦
The most unobtrusive and not too visible influencers are those who parley with him when he indulges in his past times - Like womanising or drinking or his regular sports or worship.
These are the people who overturn decisions that have painstakingly been taken after serious consultations during the day. In the nights when they indulge the President in his past time, they quite easily dismiss solid and sound counsels previously accepted by Mr President.
You are probably now saying "are the presidents fools?" 🤷
NO. The Presidents are not foolish.
But being the president of a nation is an overwhelming phenomenon that makes the strongest of men become weak internally .
Most Presidents are the loneliest & sometimes insecure people on earth.
The presidents I worked with in very sobering moments have told me things that made me weak & faint but which I quickly had to hide my confusion & come back to myself not for my own sake but for their sakes.
Truth is Presidents in spite of there immense powers are basically human and have fears that are disproportionate to the presumed eminence of their positions.
This is why in some critical positions they will rely on people they have trusted before their ascendancy; Their wives, old school mates, religious counsellors and very loyal aides.
Unfortunately, many of these their folks may not be wise enough or possess the required knowledge or experience to guide correctly in these tricky circumstances.
That is why a President is as strong and effective as the people who are close to him or who surround him. Many times decisions at the presidency may not necessarily follow party lines or established government policies.

I remember a few incidences. 👇👇👇
One of my Principals was to appear on television and over dinner a very close associate seriously counselled him to publicly lambast a set of people. He agreed enthusiastically.
When the man left, I was alone with the president and politely I advised to the contrary.
He was angry and he retorted, "who are you to tell me what to say and not to say? I believe you are getting too big for these your shoes."

Then very quietly, I reminded him about some very cogent facts that he and I knew about the people concerned
...and how it will be inimical to his personal interest if he ignores my advice. He sank in his chair and was speechless for a few minutes. When he came round he asked; How best then should I handle this situation?
I told him and the rest is history.
At another time, one of the presidents I served had taken a decision that appeared unstoppable. Ministers, party leaders, presidential aides were just getting to enter their cars in preparation for departure. I heard about the movement which would have presented the President,
in my own thinking, as a very uncaring and insensitive leader. It was for this reason that it was initially "conclusively" decided that the President will not attend the event, before very powerful people prevailed on the president and changed his mind.
I was on another assignment and on the way to the airport when I heard the news of the change of plans. I immediately turned back. Tried to reach the president directly and through the villa exchange, it was impossible.
By the time I finally got to the villa, the 1st person I met was the ADC, who was literally storming out of the villa. This was unusual and totally out of character. I asked him, I pray the president is not going.? He replied emphatically that yes the president was not going.
Then I pointed to the convoy of cars. He said Doc dont worry. I just left Mr President and I pleaded with him earnestly. I also drew his attention to the fact that by interfering with his political position on this matter, I had overstepped my bounds.
But because I love him so dearly and had signed to kay dien my life for him, if the need arises, on the account if this trip, I will resign my military commission rather than accompany him to the event.
The president was both shocked and bewildered. He asked him not to resign and cancelled the trip without giving explanation to anybody, service chiefs, party chieftains, and presidential aides present and already set to leave.
Such are the complexities that bedevils presidential decisions or in decisions.

Therefore folks, there is an all powerful Mr President but he is the head of a conglomerate of powerful forces who make up the NECK of the President and where the neck turns the head goes.
Magana ya kari. (End of discussion).

👌

Light travels at about 1 foot per nanosecond.

Hold your hand up 12 inches from your face: you’re seeing your hand as it was a nanosecond ago. Everything you look at is, to one degree or another, in the past. The farther away in space, the more ancient in time.

You can’t see the Sun as it is now, but you can see it as it was about 8 minutes ago. You can’t see Alpha Centauri now, but you can see it 4.4 years ago. You can see the Andromeda Galaxy as it was 2.5 million years in the past. And so on.

With powerful telescopes, we can see galaxies whose light has been traveling to us for more than 13 billion years. We see them shining in a universe that’s still young, where gravity has just begun to pull matter together into stars and galaxies.

We can see something even more distant, and more ancient, than the first galaxies. If we peer out far enough, in between the galaxies, we can see parts of the Universe that are so far away, it has taken the light from that distance almost the entire age of the cosmos to reach us.

HELLO: If you pee and every time you finish, your urine looks like this picture, you may have a serious medical illness.

Foamy urine especially if it is persistent and noticeable over time may mean you have a serious kidney problem.

Let’s talk about this today...
RT for others.


What are the features of a normal urine?

A normal urine should have a light yellow colour, painless, odourless (or faint smell), steady stream and should ideally not foam when you pee.

When there’s something wrong, then you see changes in all the above normal features of urine.

For instance if urine becomes very deep yellow, it may mean you are dehydrated;

If urine becomes painful or smells really really bad, it may mean you have an infection;

If urine has a poor stream, especially in a man, it may mean a prostate problem like cancer.

Do you get me?

So today let’s talk about Foamy Urine.

What are the things that can cause urine to suddenly be foamy. As I said in the first tweet, it MAY mean a serious medical illness like a serious kidney problem.

First things first- it does NOT always mean a problem but it may as well.

Now what are the causes of Foamy Urine:

1. SPEED-
If you pee really fast or with a lot of force, it may make your urine more foamy than usual. The speed and force makes the urine generate a lot of bubbles which tend to almost quickly disappear as it is formed in the toilet bowl.

Some thoughts on episode 53 of #Hercai

Love,that is not real,has no passion. Its fire turns into embers, it doesn’t not smell. The day, the night, the moon&year burn without sun, light, comfort&sleep.

PRAISE
The praise in this episode goes foremost to Ebru because she portrayed Reyyan so realistically like a woman who truly lost her unborn child. I was in awe and pain watching her along the episode, all her breakdowns and tears were so real.
#Hercai

2
Of course also Akın took his part and did his part masterfully, but he rightfully was the one who stood aside in this specific episode that needed to be about Reyyan’s pain and thus concentrated on Ebru.
#Hercai

And last but not least, if I say thank you to something that B gave us this year, then it’s to have Ali as our director. Also in this episode we saw the artistic eye behind every shot and I loved it.

OVERALL COMMENT
I don’t know who wrote ep. 52 but ep. 53 was going strong once more on symbols: roses, stones, fire and trees were incorporated and especially the ReyMir dialogues were written very well. I truly loved every ReyMir scene.
So let's get into it.
