...... Nairaland HEADLINES

Click baiting...

FAKE NEWS Alert!

Misleading headline. Nigerian doctors are NOT “banned”...
Rather, because of the shortage of doctors in Nigeria, the UK does not want UK agencies to ACTIVELY recruit doctors from Nigeria.
>

I believe the article about Ambode’s probity and transparency. Why else would he have been removed?

otokx:
Are they no back up generators?

They don’t anticipate blackouts...
In Nigeria, the headline would be “Major Generator Failure at Airport”!

MobilityExpress:
Why buy now? When the hype is over and the dynamics of the Nigerian economic system sets in, share price will crash and adjust to reality. Then MTN owners and their federal government collaborators would be richer and many Nigerians would have lost billions of naira in value of their shares. For now, the Nigerian Stock Exchange is just another MMM. Watch and Pray lest ye fall into temptation bad investments . I just hope MTN shares won't be like MTN data that disappears faster than mosquitoes at night

While markets fluctuate, MTN is a pretty sound business (and one with a solid financial track record)...

Meanwhile, most stocks on the Nigerian Stock Exchange are actually UNDERVALUED, which is why most of the holdings in the Nigerian bourse are by foreign portfolio investors (followed by domestic institutional investors, and a small corps of retail investors). The only problem is that such “hot money” (ie, foreign portfolio investment) rarely play the long game and their rapid ingress and egress exacerbates market volatility.

I hope they will invest the profits on boosting their services and reduce tarrifs.

What profits? Share price appreciation is capital gains to the individual shareholders, not to the company...

Onlinealaba:
This is not on recruit basis..she is a full fledged senior officer.check the requirement again and u will see how great feat it was

But that wasn’t your initial statement...
Meanwhile, I disagree that it’s a “great” feat. It’s just a regular feat (but perhaps I have higher standards). CONGRATS to her nonetheless!

KingAzubuike:
That's the funny thing I hear people spill out. Fact that they bear Nigerians names doesn't mean they are Nigerians. Their ancestors and forefathers might be but they were born ,bred and hold an American citizenship. So the best you can say is american woman/man with Nigerian background etc . You can't even be a foreigner and enlist in the U.S military. Even Hakeem Oluseyi the NASA scientist someone was arguing with me he was a Nigerian I was like wtf . Hakeem Oluseyi has never even stepped his foot on Africa before.

Of course you can...
Non-citizens (legal immigrants) can enlist in the US military. Why do they care if you want to die for their country?

Meanwhile, Hakeem Oluseyi’s REAL name (or rather his birth name) is James Edward Plummer, Jr....
He only took a Nigerian name later in life (when he was a student at Stanford) because he wanted his name to have meaning.

ABUPHARM:
If it had been in Nigeria some dimwit would have been wailing islamization agenda.

Hope they can see how a Muslim female military dressed in the USA without any hassles. But if is UI international female students wearing hijab those bunch of hypocrites mixed with inferiority cimplex will say they are enforcing Islam on them.

I do not recall the president of Nigeria trying to BAN all Muslims from entering the country...

Onlinealaba:
Lets stop being tribalistic..this a great feat..getting commission as a 2nd Lt here in Nigeria is no easy feat talk more of the U.S an immigrant..am wow i will like to know how she achieved this

Abegi, the US military is chock FULL of immigrants...
And the sad part is that it does NOT guarantee you citizenship.

Frankly, those military quarters are crap...

HaryoBamex:
Dis guy dressing always crack me up...

Oluwaburna

His sister is his stylist...
And since his mother is his manager, he’s keeping the cash in the family!

dangotesmummy:
how will you feel if your surboodinate starts insulting you unnecessarily without you doing anything to attract such verbal assault

She’s not his subordinate...
Just like Nigerians are not Buhari’s “subordinates”.

What SUPERSTITIOUS drivel!
Little wonder these folks keep torturing children in the name of fighting "witchcraft"! SMH

demolishing the building is a very dump idea

BABSSSOO:
yah correct 'dump' indeed.

Not nice...

FAKE NEWS!

decatalyst:
Wow!

A star that was almost brought down to the dust in this country.

Nigeria and Africa as a whole is a shithole true true

NONSENSE! She got her love for education from, as well as her basic education in, Nigeria...
With these foundational building blocks, she'll just be another Ghetto Mama welfare queen in America! SMH

This is liking obsessing over the wedding instead of concentrating on the marriage...what a WASTE of resources!

Yankiss:
What we would want to know is whether the Airport came after the market or vice versa. It is common place for government to site projects in the wrong places and later begin to encroach on the spaces of law abiding citizens. The closure of the market has also put on hold the income of many a home but our governments do not reckon with the effects of some of their actions. There should be palliatives. The suicide rate in Nigeria has skyrocketed due mainly to hardship and inability to make ends meet.

It doesn't matter, because the government has the constitutional power of Eminent Domain to acquire any land for public purposes...

Meanwhile, I am sure that the traders are likely to be relocated or compensated. Nevertheless, having a safe airport that investors and others can use will increase economic activity in Enugu State, create more jobs and put more money in the pockets of those traders' customers.

Abegi, this story sounds fishy...

Did anyone see the SARS people? Sounds like dude drove drunk into the wall and blamed SARS.

"Actress" is probably the most abused/misused word in Nigeria... smh

dangotesmummy:
there's always consequences FOR EVERY TYPE OF FREEDOM ESPECIALLY NEGATIVE UNPROVOKED ATTACKS

Moreover there's always freedom of expression however freedom after expression is not guaranteed

This is a lesson that we should always mind our utterances on and off social media because where mouth reach,leg no reach there moreover social media isn't always as anonymous as it appears even on your own page

So you would advocate and support arrest/dismissal of any Nigerian or other persons who call Buhari or Tinubu or Atiku 'foolish', because those are so-called "negative unprovoked attacks"? Anyway, some folks will never get the concept of free speech. Just Dobale and Rankadede!

hopefulLandlord:
how's it wrong to have branded him a suspect though?

At that point, he is more appropriately what you would call "a person of interest"...
>

dangotesmummy:
nobody is stopping anyone from expressing himself but where your expression is needlessly attacking another persons personality especially when unprovoked then accept whatever you see how much more the leader of your school. Yoruba's say if you haven't gotten what you want you don't ask what killed your father

But that’s exactly what they have done...
When it is merely her personal OPINION that the VC is a “foolish” man (whatever that means).

Originalsly:
Did she refer to him by name? Who the cap fit let him wear it. He must be a fool to say it was him. If that's his photo... to me ..... that's it one of a fool
... that's a clown.
Freedom of speech ..... she has spoken out on an issue affecting all students. Did the admin not know of these issues? They have done nothing...but are quick to react to being referred to as foolish. They are not to be called out.... little gods... but we expect change. Primary and Secondary school students.... their teachers and administrators are like their parents.... they must follow instructions... no back talk.... they are there to learn. University level... all adults... lecturers are not their parents... it is where students should be challenging everything including them... and that is what give rise to innovations... changes. If she takes the matter to court... the admin would prove themselves to be fools.

Exactly! In every advanced society or nation, you will always find a certain amount of defiance/skepticism towards authority...
Unfortunately, Nigerians/Africans still have difficulty with grasping that innovation/progress often comes from refusing to follow the herd.

SHOCKED at the number of comments attacking the girl here...

The indefinite suspension itself is DISGRACEFUL! A university or any other academic community is the last place one would expect to see the crude stifling (or chilling) of the free expression of diverse ideas, opinions and viewpoints (even unpalatable ones), and in fact there should be an institutional and institutionalized culture of aggressively defending individual liberties (including individual opinions and diverse viewpoints), so long as same does not pose threat if imminent danger or bodily harm to others. Even more DESPICABLE is that she is being punished for an opinion expressed on her own personal platform completely unrelated to the school.

hamid6249:
Respecting constituted authority is not an African man trait

On the contrary, excessive respect wrought by our Dobale and Rankadede culture retards social (even intellectual) progress in Africa...

eni4real:
He is a professional who was trying to help salvage the situation (if there is any chance). But to you, he is simply "tampering with a corpse". In an ideal country, he will definitely be exonerated because he was trying to help.

But in a country where he is already termed a suspect, he will suffer incrimination in 90% of case unless he 'settled' himself financially despite being innocent. He is very lucky to have CCTV evidence available. More than 95% of 'suspect' don't have such a luck.

Are you an Idealist or a realist?
You don't belong here!!!

And here he has ultimately been exonerated as well...
Of course, already said several times it was wrong to brand him a suspect, so the unnecessary repetition is irrelevant.

Again, quit conflating issues. Great that he is a professional trying to help (he should try to help, and should be COMMENDED for trying to help), but the police still did the absolute right thing bringing him in for questioning. Again, if it was your brother or sister, reasonably sure that you would want the police to ensure that no foul play was involved and to question those found with the corpse before exonerating anyone.

Even the old depot for the BRT buses operated by Primero has automated washing machines (but I see some hand-washing as well )...

Goke7:
the new air-conditioned buses plying ojodu berger-tbs needs this or else those beautiful marcopolo buses will become something else in the next six months.

Each of the three new bus depots in Yaba, Oshodi and Awoyaya-Lekki has automated bus washing facilities.

eni4real:
I hope the money they will have to cough out is a "Standard procedure" too!!

There’s no point in conflating unnecessary issues...

Go and be found (or tamper) with a corpse in the US, UK, Canada or wherever else Nigerians are migrating to and see if you will not be dragged down to the local precinct. As I already said, calling them “suspects” was wrong but it would dereliction of duty not to question them. Reasonably certain that if that was your own sibling or family member, you would want the police to ensure that no foul play was involved.
