Thanks, but desperate situations can only be solved by desperate actions. See, they don't allow your votes count. They won't allow reasoning to count. These are marauding beasts of no nation, after your oppression. You can't lie down to expect Mercy or pity from the wicked. There is a time in the affairs of men that you only speak to people in the language they understand. It is on record that by 1980 when we had less than twenty universities our scholars had international weight. Those great heads have all left the nation because illiterates who don't believe in merit have decided to ignore education. The worst is that they continue year in year out to devalue it from primary to the tertiary. The devaluation is so intense that even affidavit has been ruled to be an equivalent of a certificate. And now dropouts are difficult to differentiate from the educated. Thus, all areas of the nation's institutions are being led by lame ducks. It is now only ASUU and nma that speak to power. From the 1980s till now only these do stand for the people. But, ignorance of the populace, arrogance and ill will of this same group that started the bastardization of professions since 1980s have turned a full cycle again. So, if there is a anyway out, it must be from the trench. It is the ariya now, oya ooo, oya.

Again, how do you expect the market traders/sellers to understand what you're trying to convey?

Nwaonyishi69:
A laughing stock in the comity of nations. When your Presido is busy talking of covick 1-9; other nations are spending trillions of naira on research, competing to get patency rights and to save their citizens by paying social benefits; your leaders are planning to spend 500 million dollars on nta, with no kits for tests in a time of a pandemic, and nothing on education: and you laugh over these coming perils; then there is no basis for you to be called humans. It was by swimming in foolishness that you elected a dumbass by killing hundreds of people to rig him in and, probably, you will loose millions of people pursuing Malthusian economic principles. At the end, your persons, family, friends and society will dance, or cry from far away, very far, from your graves while you hail a man of integrity that the children use presidential jets for picnics. From most of your comments it becomes clearer and clearer why they say that a people deserve the leaders they get. In Fela's voice 'oya oooooo integrity, oya. Oya ooo burn burn oya. Nothing good dey to talk about. Para para para'. We are finished as our future has been stollen, like Lagos by tiefnubu and MC Oluomo. Yeye dey smell, really, no be small.

Stop rambling, your incoherent epistle means nothing to most Nigerians, in a country where we have more market sellers/traders than college graduates, you think people give a shit what you write on Nairaland? You want to make real change, join a worthy cause, start a grassroot campaign, make a serious effort to educate those who truly vote, those who don't even know what Nairaland is, you know those people that would gladly take a bag of rice for their votes.

Your figure for deaths in Italy is wrong. As at 22.03.2020 total number of #covid19 deaths in Italy is 4,825

CHINEKE!

Yenefer:
u mean people don't die due to malaria in Nigeria. And people don't get cured from the Coronavirus. Don't bring politics into this I don't care if Nigeria is a zoo or museum. I'm done with Nigeria since 2009

There's no cure for Coronavirus don't let anyone bobo you, once it gets deep within your system, you're gone! It's just like the regular flu, there are medication to treat your liver and immune system but it kind of just goes away on its own, I get the flu every year guaranteed but it has never landed me in the emergency room. Malaria has a cure, coronavirus/flu you just treat the symptom and hope it goes away.

Yenefer:
So far this season, the Nigeria Center for Disease Control has recorded 36 million malaria cases in Nigeria., with 370,000 hospitalizations and 22,000 deaths. Where's the panic?
This sometimes sounds like it was an evil plan. Came out of control and they had to say something that sounds good. This one world order formed by world organizations is not good for humanity. � We don't need those mass global organizations anymore. Keep it nationwide only. Corruption is the most widely spread outbreak in the world. The Coronavirus is nothing compare to Corruptionvirus. No surprises there. All these ‘world’ organizations gain more power and most importantly money from the one world order. UN. Unesco, EU, AU, Olympic Committee, WHO etc etc.
thats why they hate populists who care more about their people and their sovereignty than pumping billions into these corrupt monoliths. Well it seems pretty clear now that this virus is being use by the global elites to take back the control they have lost in the last few years.

Comparing Malaria, a disease that can't be transmitted by humans to a modified flu virus is ridiculous. Furthermore, there's a cure for malaria, the flu since 250 years ago cannot be cured, the symptoms can only be managed assuming your immune system does not give up. Corruption is very real but let's not go off topic, this virus is going to spread like wildfire and a zoo like Nigeria can head straight into chaos if care is not taken, just ask America and it's 30,000 cases or the 729 people who died in Italy from it.

Death to all Islamic jihadist terrorist.





If you support them too,

Same date await you.

I don't care what their cause is or what religion they practice, all terrorist should be eliminated!

The reality in Nigeria is that once you start having millions in your account, have a lawyer on a retainer, have the number of 2 or more DPOs or military boss. If your power reach, know a commissioner or someone that works for a powerful politician. Money is no longer enough in 9ja, you must have influence.

Believing this man is as gud as digging once grave. His mission is to see that black ease is wipe out from the surface of the earth if not tell me why will someone just make such statement when WHO is saying other wise. Trumpu trumpu teumpu how may times I call u.be kwafulu

Who is the real fool, the person that said it was approved or the people using it without knowing the proper dosage or if anyone was successfully cured using such medication? If Trump told you to lick a goat's ass in order to become wealthy, would you?

Ausrichie:
They should have notified the parents if they resisted then send the boy home he is just 5 for fvck's sakes. You answered sensibly at least.

True, in advanced countries they could shut down the school for such behaviors. Glad the parents knew their rights tho, some parents would have flogged the child in addition

Ausrichie:
This thread shows how ignorant many Nigerians are. What is wrong with hair I keep asking myself but no one can ever answer it reasonably
Africans self ehn.

There's nothing wrong with it but the school has its rules and regulations. If the parents didn't like it, they should remove their child from that school. With that said, only a crazy, incompetent school administration would go around cutting the hair of minors without parental consent.

Before getting into topics like this let's try to look at the profile of the person that posted it and see how reasonable or mentally capable he or she is. You want your sister to get a divorce but you no wan give details, looks like another troll post.

SoNature:
The right idiom is You can't have your cake and eat it (too)

I don't know where Nigerians learnt that NONSENSE you typed from

It's the same thing stop being dramatic

Xisnin:
No.
FDA is right, Trump is lying.

Is Trump a kid that can't use language properly?
The question is simple.
Has chloroquine been approved for Covid-19?
The answer is no and therefore Trump is lying as usual.

Clinical trials and approval are very very different.
Many drugs die in the clinical trial stage and are never approved.

There are tens of drugs being researched and developed for Covid-19.
Some are even in an advanced testing stage.

Nobody in their right mind will claim such drugs have been approved when they
have not.

Don't be so quick to criticize, this is not about politics but saving human lives. Trump being his usual enthusiastic self, probably heard it was approved for testing, in his mind this meant it was approved. Even if Trump is incompetent, Congress and department of dEfense will not allow him to take COVID-19 lightly as the entire country and world is in serious danger.

Rocktation:
Okay, any attempt I might have unconsciously made to defend docs that ask for upfront would entirely be for the private clinic owners. I worked for a couple of years with a tertiary hospital and I can tell you we were constantly having problems with patients running away at nights, after receiving treatment. For emergency cases, there was something we called billing to folder and that's what's always done. This act of mercy was even extended sometimes, to regular patients. The hospital is even close to a prison, so the inmates were constantly being rushed to the hospital on alleged emergencies and we were always billing to folders. I can't speak for all the tertiary hospitals, but this one, I can tell for a fact, will likely only ask for card payment if a relative is around, but always commence treatments for accident victims, when no one around is a relative

That's better, I beleive in any sane society balance is key. We must balance humanity with the need to make profit. The biggest responsibility here is the government and in a zoo like Nigeria I have lost all confidence in the government's ability to do the right thing.

Rocktation:
Back to the matter of a faulty system. In the US, only emergency departments are legally bound to provide such services, which Nigeria cannot always do because her model of financing is mixed and different. All over the world, health bills must be picked up by one way or another, emergencies or not, through different mechanisms involving government, groups, out of pocket for individuals...if we agree that money is needed to continually procure inputs into providing health goods and services. In a system, where citizens pay taxes on a regular, which is a major source of government revenue, why would they have it any other way?

Yes the system is faulty and must be changed but we are talking about doctors here, doctors who signed the oath of do no harm. Let's focus on just emergencies, do they deny treatment or not? If yes then no excuse in the world justifies a person dying or seriously harmed because the doctors waited until payment was made. Excuses can be made for doctors working in clinics or even private doctors but when you work in a government hospital, you are backed by public funds. THERE'S NO DAMN EXCUSE!

Rocktation:
If only you knew the half of what goes on in the abroad, where they make us, "mere international medics" to pass their board exams before practicing, you would cower down. Nigeria did not place a monopoly on questionable ethics or fatal mistakes. In fact, we got our idea of having mortality reviews from these abroad people. And payment is done upfront too, if correct procedures are not taken to qualify for free treatment, or covered by insurance...which invariably takes us back to the little tools we have at our disposal that we must work with....we could go round and round these issues all day. The entire system just needs to work better, is all.

I've lived in the USA almost half my entire life, I not only have doctors in the family and friends but I've been privileged to work with 5 or more. The thing with abroad is that if you know what you're doing you would have no problems passing the board exam. Payment is done upfront? You mean someone with an emergency gets to fill out paperwork and payment info. before receiving treatment? I don't know which of the abroad you're referring to but most definitely is not USA or UK. The only point you made that is applicable here is that government needs to do more to ensure insurance or free treatment programs are available to those in need.

Rocktation:
I've worked very closely with Nigerian doctors -in Nigeria. And apart from the absence of state of the art medical equipments in our facilities, the most of these doctors aren't as incompetent, as a lot of Nigerians portray them to be. If anything, using the little that is at our disposal, speaks volumes of our proficiency.

It's not incompetence per se but unethical and downright immoral. Most will refuse to treat without payment, most will take shortcuts that could lead to serious injuries or death. This is why no matter the level of education and experience as a medical doctor in Nigeria, once you get abroad you still have to pass the board exam and some additional education/training before you are allowed to practice.

You will all continue to suffer poverty, insecurity, joblessness as long as you perceive your tribe as marginalized, victimized or prejudiced. Common award show, you are shouting tribal injustice. Several here are even comparing women, SHAME ON ALL OF YOU!

strafist911:
Zombie! So Tinubu instructed the whole Southwest to vote twice for a coupist, jihadist, sadist, 2 times economy destroyer, a NEPA bill certificate holder & an illiterate not for ur interests but for his 2023 presidential ambition and you all obeyed and voted despite the hunger?
Google the real meaning of the word "ZOMBIES" & thank me later.

If the whole Southwest voted for Buhari, surely it would have been a landslide in every state hence your zombie theory is a mockery of your own intellect. The entire adjectives you used for Buhari is understandable but when your choice is a corrupt looter that has looted every institution he ever worked in then it's not really much of a choice is it? You don't want people to be influenced then get out there and educate, mobilize and inspire instead of being a useless keyboard warrior, shouting zombies up and down!

sweetjohn:
I ve said this b4 and am still saying this. The SW media have so much promoted Tinubu eventhough. He is simply over rated. Outside SW especially, Lagos, he is just a politician from the west. The real godfathers are in Abuja. The title 'national leader' was just to get the bethrawal votes. The north knows how to get the south votes. It's simple actually, just make a SW VP and they will bethral their south brothers. That's the game

Which South brothers are you talking about? Yorubas and Igbos have nothing in common politically, so I repeat which brother? The last two presidential elections shows this, the SW alignment with the North is because of one man, Tinubu! If Jagaban decides today that the alliance is no longer worth it then best believe that APC is done! In your little mind, you might believe you know who's pulling the strings but you don't what's going on, the SW will never betray Tinubu because unlike our brothers in the SE and SS, no single person apart from Awolowo has done more to keep the SW relevant politically, yes he is a deeply flawed man but you're sadly mistaken to call him just another politican, he is a mavrick, a don, the thorn in the sides of PDP, the unbreakable jagaban!

geosuzzy:
well I thought I was talking with a stable mind earlier.. calling me delusional says alot about u and ur personality.... I wudnt want u to drag me DOWN to ur level and edge me out with experience... Go play somewhere am busy sir...

If you think delusional is an insult then you can't survive in the business world my friend!

Define delusional: based on or having faulty judgment; mistaken.

We've all been delusional at one point or the other, in fact I'm very delusional about my team Chelsea

geosuzzy:
u mean when he was even in the opposition for 16years and had to join people with diff political ideologies to cease power n was dumped after..even the Wife had to shout out that her husband was dumped after election...All his protege are now nursing the same ambition.... Osibanjo, fayemi etc u think buhari is a fool? Even if he is .... The cabals around him are not dull...Even a 10yr old boy wudnt handover power to tinubu

You're delusional, all you need to cure yourself of this delusion is to look at the last elections in LAgos State and other States in the SouthWest, fear of Jagaban is the beginning of wisdom. In Nigerian politics haven't you learned by now to never say NEVER? How many times do friends become enemies and enemies become friends? He might not become president but trust me he'll have a say in who does!

geosuzzy:
This is what I called reverse psychology ....why is he sounding as if he is not after the exalted seat? Tinubu is intelligent but for me not smart.. removing Osho will affect his chances he knows this.... His underground works towards 2023 is not hidden for all to see but he carefully constantly use buhari's name, tenure, adminstration as a bait in this letter which we all know it's nothing but to get his attention and be perceived as if he is happy with Mr presido which we all know is a lie.... Make tinubu grap power una go see the real greedy and self centered soul we all know

You call someone that has managed to remain relevant since leaving his elected position in 2007 not smart? LMAO... Nairalanders

OChimex:
Here you go again.

Why did you land only in America?

Why didn't you land in Ghana or Chad?

Why are White' man's land only the place you ungrateful blacks land?

Why is everybody wanting to land in America?

Why are those blacks only making those inventions only when they land in a white man's land?

Why won't they stay in their own country and invent those so that no white man will steal them?

Many live paycheck to paycheck yet far better than their counterpart living in any African country.

You know so well that even a street sweeper in America earns more than a doctor in any African country, why must it be only when you are in a white man's land that you earn that way bigger?

America no be only country wey be nation of immigrants, south Africa is too, that is why they are called rainbow nation. Why Una no dey run there?

You seem illogical and ungrateful.


Ask yourself and ponder over this now.

Do you think America would have been this great if only Africans had been the only people and majority who migrated there?

Look at most south american countries where blacks are majority immigrants their conditions

[s]Whatever great you will achieve as a black man was built on the soil and platform of whites. I end this argument here.
[/s]
I understand you think like your dumb leaders who will come out and brazenly ask who is america? who made America world police? yet they run to them for everything.

Tell the truth, life no dey sweet you there bros?

Another ramblings of an ignorant boy! Most of those inventions were made by people whose father/grandfather/great grandfathers were kidnapped in Africa and brought to America as slaves. If I packed you and your family, forced you to build my house and business, demoralize you and kept you in the dark for years. How long would it take you to be free and eventually become wealthy/successful? I repeat go and lookup the history of America, you would realize you're full of sh*t! I understand you've never been to the airport not to talk of setting foot inside America but please, reduce your asslicking of these white men, your show of shame is loud

OChimex:
Lol you finally agreed with me. Thanks to whites for making you achieve your dreams. Imagine if you hadn't found your way into a white man's land. Would you be able to talk of your big dreams talk less of achieving them.

The same way those your so called black and brown skins found their way into white man labs and be able to be part of those breakthroughs.

The point "The Whites build platforms" for dreams to be easily achieved and problems to be solved and life to be made,easier. Thats why I was grateful to them in my first comment.

About my dreams, it's left for me.....

But ones again, thanks to the Whites for giving people like you and so many other black and brown skins the platforms to achieve their dreams.

So you mean I just landed in America and gbam I became successful or maybe three white men came to my door and gave me dollars ? Perhaps those that have been here for 20 or more years and are still living paycheck to paycheck are not in this same America....LMAO, dude you're so delusional it's comical. America in itself is a nation of immigrants built on the labor and sweat of blacks and people of color. You can google the industrial revolution, the inventions of blacks stolen by the whites and so on. Google who invented the traffic light, the ironing board, hair straighteners, gas mask, blood banks etc. I could go on and on but it is clear this discussion is way above your intellectual capacity....lol.

OChimex:
But you forgot that 90% of successful people in Nigeria are from grass to grace. from ghetto to success. It is possible if they can change their mindset.

You are one of those blacks who continue to blame the whites forever instead of rising from their challenges. Yet you left your Africa for a better life in the White man's land. You got those right? You rose from your ghetto country to elite country.

The point is clear, let the black stop blame game, change their mindset and rise up.

Who's blaming the whites? If anyone is to blame it is our greedy ancestors. I only stated facts which shows the mutual benefit to both side, you can't say be thankful to whites as if they're the messiah without knowing that your fellow black and brown skinned people are also part of the research/discovery team. I asked you a simple question about your dreams but you couldn't answer, could the reason be that you've never thought of your fellow man or being an agent of positive change? Perhaps you're content arguing baselessly on a nameless forum? Either way, that's your cup of tea. Yes I'm a prime example of the brain drain I talked about, lack of opportunities in Nigeria led to me working and living in a foreign land, the easy thing to do is to sit back and relax but after years of working and investing, I'm able to support various NGOs and invest properly in 9ja. This is my way of waking up, can you imagine if more and more of our brothers and sisters started doing this? Instead of just thinking about that fancy house, that flashy car and making Quilox your family project

OChimex:
Steal the brains from other parts of the white world and entice them with money, make them properties of black. so that instead of them working to developed white world let them work to develop Africa their foreign lands. Let blacks brain drain Western world. Give the white man money in return in order for them to sabotage their own mother land. Shebi you guys have plenty money wey your govt steal from oil. Let them use it to buy and brains in Western world... to developed Africa.

Just listen to yourself......

Do you know the meaning of oppression? Have you ever seen a school from the ghetto rise above the ghetto to become elite? Rather, what you'll see is schools like Havard, Yale, Cambridge continue to excel. The same principle applies here, you can't emancipate yourself if you don't know that you're in slavery. Majority of Nigerians would jump at the chance for U.S citizenship if it meant just ordinary slavery of 5 to 10 years, majority of Nigerians and in larger sense Africans are incapable of emancipating themselves. You for example, what is your greatest dream? I bet it involves money, building a house, a successful job/business. I bet you've never thought of ways to help those suffering in your community, you've never thought of giving part of your income to those kids struggling for food daily. So my friend, if you can't even make an impact on your immediate surroungdings, how the hell you going to brain drain the Western world?

Martinez39s:
Your analogy is wrong. The Chinese are not telling you what you should eat or how to dress. The Chinese probably bought or rented the place they are using hence it's theirs (for that period at least). The business is also theirs and they can decide how they run their business. They are not stopping you from eating anything, if you want a particular food, go to another restaurant or build your restaurant. It's that simple.

So you mean I can open up a business and decide I don't want to sell to Igbos? Perhaps I can open up a hospital and refuse to treat Yorubas? While I'm at it, I can build an hostel and refuse to let it out to anyone with a disability. Imagine your kids waking up one day and wondering why he or she can't eat ice cream because of his or her nationality? Every sane country has laws against discrimination, if you can't use your brain and reason why a blatant act of discrimination formed on racial prejudice is wrong then there's no hope for you my friend, NO HOPE!

Martinez39s:
It's their restaurant; the loss of profit from not selling to available Nigerians is theirs to bear. If they don't want to sell to you, go to another restaurant or build your own. We have more pressing issues in this country yet they are more concerned with how a Chinese chooses to run his restaurant.

Can I come in your father's house and dictate what you eat or how you dress? It's the same principle here, they can do WTF they like in China but they can't come into my country and deny me a product or service. Especially when the only reason is because they're racist piece of sh*t!

OChimex:
That's the point. The Whites train them, gave them the platform, equipment, and still yet allow them to practice in their countries.

More like the white stole them, enticed them with money now they are the properties of white people countries. Instead of working to develop Africa they now work to develop foreign lands. So who should be thankful to whom? The Whites brain draining Africa or Africans grateful that the white man gives us money in return for sabotaging our motherland?

OChimex:
Africans, .....

You should really be grateful to the Whites. Because these guys are now working their ass off in laboratories across the world and are close to testing the vaccines, that's why he is coming with this prediction. The likes of Israel, US, Canada have discovered the vaccines and close to carrying out human testing after successful animal testing.

Imagine if the Whites had been lazy and not go to work believing every problem will be solved by miracles, my goodness human race would have been doomed.

It's almost as if those laboratories don't have Africans in them.....LMAO. You'll be surprised the people working behind the scenes to create the vaccines are brown and black.
