Congratulations Prof Salami. Lagelu Grammar School Old boys are proud of you. |
They should go to Ogbomosho and ask how a serial rapist called Tombolo was arrested and dealt with. That was around 2003/2004 sha. Any ex-Ladokite who was in Lautech that period can bear witness to this. Same modus operandi as this stupid baddoo |
I have the inverter system that feeds on either PHCN or generator. I'm considering adding solar panels and probably get off PHCN totally. Here to read and learn. |
Keep blowing up everything. If they beg you please don't agree. Destroy all the oil installations. At least that will make our leaders put on their thinking caps to develop other sectors of the economy. But as for your region, be ready to cope with the effect of your actions for the next century. For those supporting the blow ups, maybe you should check the effects of oil spillage. Well done the avengers. Keep destroying your environment. |
After the rescue of Alheri Buba, the kidnapped 13 year old girl from Bauchi, Vivien Bello-Osagie wrote me on the need to help girls kidnapped by Boko Haram who returned to their communities with HIV. Like every other victory, I had no time to celebrate Alheri’s rescue. Getting HIV from repeated rape from abductors is one thing, but getting help to cope with the disease is another. It is a big problem getting into the programme to get the HIV drugs needed to stay alive. The only organisation that has it together is the military. Years ago, I got a dear friend to get tested after suffering repeated bouts of Malaria. He tested positive. My heart was broken, but I had no time to grieve; I needed to support him and help him avoid the stigma. That exposed me to the shady world of HIV drug administration in Nigeria. We went from pillar to post. Finally, we found Hope Foundation, tucked into a serene nondescript environment along Ikorodu road at Obanikoro. Immediately I told them I was not positive, they excluded me and took him in. They denied me access to every information about him henceforth, which I respect and even admire. They treated him well, with dignity and respect but they charged money. It was called administrative fees. I enrolled five more people in the programme and accompanied them on occasions to see the level of care. I helped them monitor their CD4 count and supplied Selenium, once I found out the cells needed that trace element to multiply. Everything was fine until three years later. Two of them developed pneumonia and I lost one. I almost lost another. I was aghast! Had they stopped using their medications? I was aware they still attended night vigil and crusades, where they get bitten mercilessly by mosquitoes and get exposed to pneumonia and tuberculosis given their compromised immune system. Being Nigerians, they believed they would one day be healed through faith. I suspected something might have gone wrong with the medications because all of them were in poor health. With enough suspicion, I visited Hope Foundation with one of them and that visit haunts me till date. I saw sufferers with protruding eyeballs like these would fall out. I saw people with very scaly peeling skin. I was livid and started investigating. By God! Hope Foundation got adulterated drugs and many lives were lost due to these. One of their doctors died in the process. I was devastated! The Nigerian end shafted the most vulnerable at their time of need and many died. I asked around for alternatives and I was advised to try the military hospital. I moved quickly and transferred my people to Ikeja cantonment. The military hospitals have it together. They are well managed and are accountable. In addition, my “patients” stemmed their exposure to mosquitoes and avoided badly ventilated places like night vigil spaces and there has been no nail biter, no crisis. All these ran through my mind when I thought of how to help terror victims who got HIV through rape. How can I get this done in the North, how is it over there? I kept thinking. Unfortunately, Nigeria is a den of vipers. Since I woke up this morning, my heart has been heavy, my day thoroughly paralysed! Why? The latest information reaching me is that funds from donor agencies for communicable diseases may be cut. The donor agencies are angry as hell. Readers of my column will recall I chronicled how the Ebola fund was looted. Same thing has been happening for all other diseases and the Global Fund, Roll Back Malaria, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, GAVI Alliance and UNAIDS are not taking it lightly. They are demanding accountability and the prosecution of Nigeria health officials who stole monies meant to save Nigerian lives. Officials of the health ministry pocketed monies and retired them with falsified receipts which the donors subjected to forensic investigation and discovered the wholesale fraud therein. These officials reportedly use donor funds to buy cars, build houses, train their children in expensive schools in Europe and North America, while victims of communicable diseases for which the monies were meant, were left suffering and dying from them. Investigations reveal that the head of the Roll Back Malaria programme in Nigeria single-handedly administers billions of naira worth of donor funds outside of the Ministry of Health. He is running a parallel programme, he travels in business class, sends his children to expensive foreign schools, all on donors funds meant for poor Nigerians. As I write, The Global Fund has suspended cooperation with Nigeria until we put our house in order. They are demanding accountability, transparency and due process. They want these crooked officials investigated and brought to book as a deterrent to others in the healthcare sector. I was reliably informed that they insist this is not “oil money” that health officials are pocketing but taxpayers money from Europe and America. The prevailing consensus is that, this is another litmus test for the anti-corruption agenda of the Buhari administration and they are waiting to see what will be done to these erring health officials. The names of these officials are also known to all the aid agencies. They are all waiting to see what President Buhari and EFCC will do. I don’t understand why we are like this. While some of us are trying to change things on a shoestring budget from our little corners, these health officials are damaging our efforts and robbing us of the moral voice in advocacy for our vulnerable and at-risk populations. $1.2 billion has been given by Global Funds since 2003 to 2014 and the health indicators in the country haven’t changed. Now, they are suspending the $1.2 billion in assistance accruable to Nigeria between 2015 and 2017 because of corruption. If we have a clean and transparent system, our entire health system would not have to depend on the Nigerian federal budget to function. But thieves in the health sector stole Nigeria senseless under the Jonathan administration. This is a shame! It is a shame because Nigeria does not provide leadership in Africa except in stealing and corruption. Other African countries have gaps that they have to address. Ours are not gaps but canyons of corruption. We have lost all the rights to be a leading voice on the continent. No other country handles donor monies irresponsibly like Nigerians do. Where is the Hippocratic oath they swore to as doctors? How can a few individuals entrusted with saving lives, divert the money given by foreign donors to taking care of their children in Marquee European Universities and Ivy league schools in North America? It is total and complete assault to deny the needy access to lifesaving vaccines and medicines because of personal greed. Like it happened in Hope Foundation six years ago, we cannot count those who have died or been rendered with permanent disabilities because of the activities of these thieves. President Buhari and EFCC, over to you! http://opinion.premiumtimesng.com/2016/05/26/massive-healthcare-fraud-nigeria-painfully-kills-people-bamidele-ademola-olateju/ |

Gate on Ekiti street in Ikosi-ketu under Ikosi LCDA is closed by 7pm. Please help remove it |
@op, I believe deeply within you, you know what you want and whether the M.Sc or keeping the job will help you in achieving it. My own advice is this, go with your heart and damn the consequences. I have three kids and I will leave my banking job soon to pursue an MBA. I don't have everything figured out yet but it's a decision I have made. What if for whatever reason, the oil company doesn't require your service anytime soon? How will you feel? The Lord bless and prosper your ways. |
I wonder where people get the notion of 'not easy to maintain' for central cooling system. Having multiple outdoor units in multi-level building is an eye-sore and lack of professionalism by the builders of such. In my office, we use central cooling system and I know the temperature in each defined area can be controlled. With the kind heat in Nigeria, the only cooling system that can be effective for high rise building is the one that cools from the roof area to the floor level and that's what you get with central cooling. |
Thanks op. I will get something like that. I need a meter that can help me determining the charge time and consumption level. Thanks. DMerciful: |
I invested in inverter last November and I wished I had done it earlier. Except for this past week when Ikeja electricity company did not supply power at all that I had to use my generator, the inverter has been my saving grace. I could sleep well during this terribly hot period despite the heat cos of my inverter. @op, I have a similar inverter as yours, 1.5kva Su-Kam but with two batteries, I noticed what looks like a meter on the picture you posted, is that meter used in determining the charge level? If yes, how did you achieve that please? |
Any government that solves the perennial water problem of Ibadan and Oyo state will forever be remembered. |
What would you like to know about the pharmacy store? If you are coming from Ibadan, drop at berger. You will see buses calling "Ketu-Ikosi road" at berger where you dropped. Join the bus and tell the conductor u want to alight at Jimoh Balogun. You will be dropped at the junction of the street. You can locate the pharmacy store from there. |
Lol. not sure that's available JesusDWay: |
Thanks so much oga. You have been much helpful. She doesn't have marriage certificate though but I will proceed as advised. Thanks so much. JesusDWay: |
Thanks sir. I appreciate. MPNP just gave general examples, no specifics per case. Birth certificate was mentioned though as one of the documents that could be used. You know her name as it is on my wife's birth certificate will not be her maiden name but all other names are ok. So I should proceed sir? JesusDWay: |
Good evening house, Trust we all had a wonderful day today. Please I need the input of my elders in the house. I got an advice from Manitoba province to submit my application based on the EOI I had earlier completed. My Manitoba Sponsor is my wife's uncle and I need to provide evidence of familial relationship. Will the birth certificate of my wife's uncle and my mother-in-law showing the name of their parents suffice as enough evidence? Kindly advise please. |
A big well done to all that have helped out on this thread. Please I have an inquiry. What's the duration of the visiting visa that will likely be given to a first time CA applicant but with good travel history? Thanks sirs and ma |
House please help me with the information below. Thank u amokemi: |
Good evening house, Please help me with the following information. - Is The required documents to complete for Manitoba provincial nomination the same as CIC documents? - Has anyone here gone through Manitoba provincial nomination? What documents were required to be submitted by your Manitoba Sponsor to show evidence of familial relationship? Thanks great people. |
Congratulations Zandora. Many more greater doors shall be open for you. |
I came in to see pictures. Disappointed. |
If you have never been in such situations you can't really appreciate what the op is saying. All the people condemning the op and his family are just ignorant of the situation on ground. As long as the shoemaker guy is not as educated as the lady, their marriage will continue to experience some level of issues. It would have been a bit better if it's the guy that is more educated than the lady, but with the lady more educated than the guy, there will be perennial problems. Op, please u and your family members should take this matter to God in prayers. The love your sister claims to have for this guy is not natural, there are some elements of juju in it. I'm in your shoes also at the moment. Mine is even worse cos my own sister has given birth to a child for the guy, a secondary school dropout panel beater and she has absconded with him. It's over a year that we have not known her whereabouts. No form of communication. Please pray very well. I trust God to intervene and set your sister free from the bondage she's in. |
Thanks Superchi I think this Alberta thing is not for foreign based applicants. I will keep looking elsewhere. Thanks I appreciate. superchi: |
Dear House, Please can you help with information on the required documents by Alberta for her PNP. I've checked their website and I don't seem to see the requirements. Thanks house |
