Note: fraggles live at Fraggle Rock...and are not to be confused with real froggies.  

Note too: The song Octopus's Garden is by The Beatles.  The music video was created by "jane's addiction" using clips from the animated "Yellow Submarine" by the Beatles.

Two proposals for deepening democracy (POLITICAL POSITIONS FOR EVERYBODY!!!)

Why not? I mean, the population is "qualified."  AND 

 The people are "unemployed" anyway.  

Democracy is for the people - not only that, it is BY the people.  WELL, 

The people are many.  Let the leadership include "everybody". 

 Women YES. Men YES. Youths YES. Elders YES YES. 

** Come as you are, whether you're a beautician or technician, a technocrat or an extrovert.  Every year, you have a 1% chance of being chosen to serve your society as a politician for the year.  

Full Wikipedia entry HERE

The two proposals are 1. Pick randomly.  2.  More winners. 

I remember how in school, we had among us class captains, dorm captains, many captains for this and that, many prefects, totalling more than 200 for a group of 2000 students.  About 50 prefects alone.  Society should aim for similar numbers, not just 200 to represent and govern millions - we'll need millions of governors, captains, and leaders.

Remember Ebola? #93Days in 2014

There's a film, 93 Days, about Nigeria's brief encounter with the contagious disease.
Excited?  

When Patrick Sawyer a Liberian American collapses upon arrival at the Murtala Mohammed International airport, Lagos - Nigeria, he is taken to First Consultant Hospital, where he is admitted with fever-like symptoms.  Against his denials of contact with any Ebola victim in Liberia, the team at first consultant led by Dr. Ameyo Adadevoh quickly deduce there is more to his case than malaria. Their vigilance leads to an early detection that Mr Sawyer indeed had the Ebola Virus disease. 

--

Now it’s a race against time to contain a deadly disease from breaking out and infecting an entire city population and beginning what could be the biggest deadly disease outbreak the world has ever known.
The scare is palpable across the country. The doomsday scenario imagined is here. Over a 93-day period from when Sawyer comes in men and women from Nigeria, WHO and MSF do battle with this deadly disease. 

--

At its core, 93 Days is a compelling human story of dedication, sacrifice, resilience and survival.

Forget about PDP and APC and presidential candidates for a minute and listen...

The UBA story: some of us said well, you can't change the country politically, there is a military government in power...but Babangida has given opportunities; so why don't we take a large national institution and see what we can do about changing it and making it better...bringing all those people together was what I was proudest of. And it convinced me, that what I have always believed...you can bring people together from wherever and have them work together and forget their ethnic background;

Extended interviews with Hakeem Belo-Osagie

On Electric Power: There is a fundamental difference between telecoms and power, which makes power more complicated. [For power, we have gas supply, generation, transmission, and distribution all run differently] and for the whole system to succeed all four have to succeed.

On Refineries: There are some countries that can do state institutions, and they do them well. We don't.

On Billionaires: I'm very much against [the] notion that the higher you're on the Forbes' list the more respected you should be.
