omenka: 17 ambulances!!!!

I am so MAD at the level of 'no damn givings' of the leaders of this country!! What for Bleep's sakes is wrong with us??!!!!

Just erlier today, I was on my way back from work. About 20 yards or so in front of me was a gurl on a bike. I didn't know why, but somehow I was just concentrating on the okada man and his passenger. Sudenly, I noticed the lady started tilting sideways and before I could take my nxt breath, was already rolling over on the road! It just seemed like she blacked out or something! When I reached the spot, I pulled over, rushed to her side, and asked som1 in the already swelling crowd to give me a hand so I could take her to the nearest hospital, but alas, no one moved!! Infact, I was yelled at to leave her alone lest I make things worse! Meanwhile the lady was alrdy bleeding badly from the mouth and jerking uncontrolably. I was scared for her life. But not knowing much about first aid under such circumstances, I somewhat heeded the advice of the bystanders and didn't move the gurl. God so kind, slowly she came to.

Now, my beef is: here was a young lady who desparately needed urgent help from paramedics but not a single ambulance is available in the whole of that town of not less than 500,000 people yet you have 17 ambulances to take care of not more than 150 pple with state of the art medical facility just a stone throw away from them!!! What would it take to have just a single ambulance for each local govt area across the country? Why are we so mean to ourselves? Why does the govt not give a damn about us? What crime did we comit to be treated with such crass indiference?

Logic walks on its head in this country as things stand today. Let us try to do what we can to chart a new course and salvage project Nigeria come next general elections. If not for ourselves, lets do it for our children yet unborn. We can afford to go on this way.

ndu_chucks: The LA times reporter simply confirms what we already know - GEJ is a failure and unfit to rule Nigeria.



How can any sane human being defend the above? The sad thing is that we have 'educated' people, even here on NL, who will do just that.

With 17 Ambulances in front of GEJ's office (what for, sebi Yar'Adua is no longer with us), uncontrolled terrorism, Alam's pardon, corruption at epidemic levels, Billion naira food and entertainment bill, multi billion naira for the first lady's pet project, summary killings of our people without trial, e.t.c. e.t.c, one can only conclude that GEJ is a curse to the nation.

2015 cannot arrive soon enough.

obadiah777: 240 MILLION DOLLARS EVERYDAY SOUNDS LIKE A LOT BUT AT 180 MILLION PEOPLE THAT IS ROUGHLY $1 FOR EVERYONE PER DAY. NOT ENOUGH TO EAT 1 MEAL SEF PER PERSON DAILY.
