Nigeria actually has one of, if not the best military in Africa and we are world renowned for our exploits especially in peacekeeping (Sierra Leone, Liberia, Darfur etc.) for decades, which is why some of us are increasingly suspicious of the BH insurgency which has proven unusually problematic for our usually gallant forces.

May God bless our Armed Forces and guide them to defeat our enemies once and for all.

Nigeria is like a family man who gives his bestie money to feed his family. While he fights with his own wife because of chop money daily.

Forming big man outside but cannot look after his home.

Las las his bestie will one day rub it on his face that his mumurity has no rival.

Alennsar:
Biko where is the fat she wants to remove? And the man will still marry another woman sooner than you think. I can't abeg

He might even marry a fatter woman sef.
RIP.

First aid, bodily fluids, stabilization etc can be done b4 moving him to a bigger hospital

That will buy time. But eventually with the huge dose of venom this snake injects, vital organs will soon fail. The care should be hollistic. Beginning with educating those mostly at risk. Like farmers. And what first aid to give before even reaching the hospital.

Snake bites still hold lots of mystic. At times that a human turned into a snake to kill people. Especially because of high death rate from ignorance and poor or none available medical care. One re-enforces the other.

CyberWolf:
Thats puff adder not Gabon viper

Adders and Gaboon are both viperids. Both are vipers. He didn't say Gaboon viper. Just viper. Viperids are many and widely distributed worldwide.
Different sizes, different geographical distributions, climate, etc. Viper is one of the few snakes found naturally in UK and some similarly temperate countries. Virtually the only venomous indegineous UK snake.

Yankee101:
First aid, bodily fluids, stabilization etc can be done b4 moving him to a bigger hospital

The system doesn't work. With no ambulance to stabilise and move to a good hospital, how will it work?

Over 95% of Nigerians won't know what to do if they found someone choking or if he suddenly collapsed. Even parents considering risk of choking in kids. They will first run away. Then come back to take pictures and videos.

Such a patient should be eventually airlifted to the regional antivenom specialist unit. Be it in Enugu, Owerri or wherever if Ebonyi has none.

Honeydenz:
Reminds me of 2016 when I was bitten by a snake...nearly died. Thinking of all I have been thru and still breathing, whoever say there's no God somewhere is a fat liar!?!

Thank God for your life. What snake was it? How were you treated and which city/hospital?

jaxxy:
That's a very common viper in these parts, it's antivenom shud be readily available in major hospitals unless we don't know what we doing.

Should be....

We have lifted crude oil since 1959. Do we have fully working refineries today?

The minute we know what we are doing things will be a whole lot different.

Yankee101:
Herbal medicine?

Wetin do hospital?

Honestly there won't even be anti venom available. They have a better antivenom supply in the North. Like Gombe area where snake bites are more common. Especially if it happens in a place not too remote.

Kai!

We all do it. Can you be eating sumptuous food daily when income is now less?

Is it a secrete that elected politicians fund the parties?

Who you think is funding APC right now?

Was it not Rivers money that Amaechi used to buy delegates for Buhari in APC Congress in LAGOS for his first term?

Unless we want to be hypocrites.

All the parties are same.

They say keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

Breaking news! Your enemies were always amongst the closest to you.

RIP young lady.

joshbj:
Probably he has politically ambition, but if it's from his "church mind", he would go far.

Abeg let people do it from their temple, lodge or Irunmole shrine mind. So far the poor benefit.

Let's see where his ambition takes him later.

Let's give Kudos and encouragement first.

OP, why don't see people like you when we are looking for?

If half of what you said is true, then sorry.
But thank God you are still young enough. But if a man of 40 cannot tell you where the relationship is going, then he doesn't see you as his ideal woman to marry.

It happens. You can be pretty, caring and all that but a man can still find that certain "something" missing. But he should be man enough to set you free. He can't eat his cake and have it.

He has already told you that you guys won't end up together forever. He just framed it to test your reaction.

Dudette, be ready to move on. Yes, it will hurt but time is a healer.

Exodora:
Nollywood should be ashamed by now, a movie scene of red mud house and a fan who does that

Haba! The fan will not show in the movie na. They can't be that dumb. It must have been in between shots.

Charmingrascal:
This nonsense has to stop

How can a Police Officer of the Federal Republic Of Nigeria in his complete regalia be holding a fan for one teenager.

Is he an escort or a maid?

This is an insult to The NPF!

A Police Officer is not suppose to hold the bag or any other hand props of the person he is guarding. It is an insult

Dude have you lived in Tokyo since birth?

Have your money and even DSS, Navy & Air Force will hold your mobile phone and comb for you. Nor be 9ja?

The place don cast long ago.

Make dem loan the country to Australians, New Zealanders or Canadians to manage for 99 years.

But see the bright side. At least police are making themselves useful instead of shooting dead innocent citizens or running away from scenes of criminal operation.

nairavsdollars:
Is it true Oshiomhole said he gave birth to Obaseki but now Obaseki is now looking for a cutlass to cut off his head?

Dear, politics and who birthed whom are complex.

Remember Anenih refused Oshiomhole as PDP governorship candidate. Anenih wanted to present Elder Odion Ugbesiah or Prof. Osunbor. Osunbor eventually was chosen. Then Oshiomhole moved to Labour party and finally Action Congress. Oshio later won in court to replace Osunbor as governor.

All those rant about stamping out god-fatherism in Edo was against Anenih for not allowing him to just come to PDP and get the governorship ticket on a platter. Not because he believed in it. As you can see from his tussle with Obaseki over control of Edo APC politics.

Before becoming governor, Oshio had no money. But Obaseki already had an investment company and had contacts in the business & banking world. Like Dangote. Obaseki was instrumental in raising the funds to campaign and fight the court battle all the way to victory. Nigerian politics is expensive. So no wonder he made Obaseki head of the Economic Team.

In a nutshell Oshio government raised Obaseki's profile and gave him a chance to be a candidate. But perhaps Oshio would never have become a governor if not for Obaseki's money pulling ability. So they made each other.

But I guess Obaseki wrongly believed that Oshio really meant it when he said no godfatherism. Only for Obaseki to receive a list of commissioners Oshio had compiled in his own parlour. Things went downhill for them from there. But Obaseki grudgingly accepted the list, waited half way through his term in office and sacked half of his (actually Oshio's selected) commissioners. Oshio saw it as a declaration of war.

For the record, they are all same. PDP, APC and their politicians. They are only after their own pockets and power.

Speech as Nigeria Military Head Of State (1983)
Muhammadu Buhari

In pursuance of the primary objective of saving our great nation from total collapse, I, Major-General Muhammadu Buhari of the Nigerian army have, after due consultation amongst the services of the armed forces, been formally invested with the authority of the Head of the Federal Military Government and the Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. It is with humility and a deep sense of responsibility that I accept this challenge and call to national duty.

As you must have heard in the previous announcement, the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (1979) has been suspended, except those sections of it which are exempted in the constitution. The change became necessary in order to put an end to the serious economic predicament and the crisis of confidence now afflicting our nation.

Consequently, the Nigerian armed forces have constituted themselves into a Federal Military Government comprising of a Supreme Military Council, a National Council of States, a Federal Executive Council at the centre and State Executive Councils to be presided over by military governors in each of the states of the federation. Members of these councils will be announced soon.
The last Federal Military Government drew up a programme with the aim of handing over political power to the civilians in 1979. This programme as you all know, was implemented to the letter. The 1979 constitution was promulgated.
However, little did the military realise that the political leadership of the second republic will circumvent most of the checks and balances in the constitution and bring the present state of general insecurity.

The premium on political power became so exceedingly high that political contestants regarded victory at elections as a matter of life and death struggle and were determined to capture or retain power by all means. It is true that there is a worldwide economic recession.
However, in the case of Nigeria, its impact was aggravated by mismanagement. We believe the appropriate government agencies have good advice but the leadership disregarded their advice. The situation could have been avoided if the legislators were alive to their constitutional responsibilities. Instead, the legislators were preoccupied with determining their salary scales, fringe benefit and unnecessary foreign travels, et al, which took no account of the state of the economy and the welfare of the people they represented.

As a result of our inability to cultivate financial discipline and prudent management of the economy, we have come to depend largely on internal and external borrowing to execute government projects with attendant domestic pressure and soaring external debts, thus aggravating the propensity of the outgoing civilian administration to mismanage our financial resources. Nigeria was already condemned perpetually with the twin problem of heavy budget deficits and weak balance of payments position, with the prospect of building a virile and viable economy.

The last general election was anything but free and fair. The only political parties that could complain of election rigging are those parties that lacked the resources to rig. There is ample evidence that rigging and thuggery were relative to the resources available to the parties. This conclusively proved to us that the parties have not developed confidence in the presidential system of government on which the nation invested so much material and human resources. While corruption and indiscipline have been associated with our state of under-development, these two evils in our body politics have attained unprecedented height in the past few years. The corrupt, inept and insensitive leadership in the last four years has been the source of immorality and impropriety in our society.

Since what happens in any society is largely a reflection of the leadership of that society, we deplore corruption in all its facets. This government will not tolerate kick-backs, inflation of contracts and over-invoicing of imports etc. Nor will it condone forgery, fraud, embezzlement, misuse and abuse of office and illegal dealings in foreign exchange and smuggling.
Arson has been used to cover up fraudulent acts in public institutions. I am referring to the fire incidents that gutted the P&T buildings in Lagos, the Anambra State Broadcasting Corporation, the Republic Building at Marina, the Federal Ministry of Education, the Federal Capital Development Authority Accounts at Abuja and the NET Building. Most of these fire incidents occurred at a time when Nigerians were being apprehensive of the frequency of fraud scandals and the government incapacity to deal with them.

Corruption has become so pervasive and intractable that a whole ministry has been created to stem it.
Fellow Nigerians, this indeed is the moment of truth. My colleagues and I – the Supreme Military Council, must be frank enough to acknowledge the fact that at the moment, an accurate picture of the financial position is yet to be determined. We have no doubt that the situation is bad enough. In spite of all this, every effort will be made to ensure that the difficult and degrading conditions under which we are living are eliminated.
Let no one however be deceived that workers who have not received their salaries in the past eight or so months will receive such salaries within today or tomorrow or that hospitals which have been without drugs for months will be provided with enough immediately. We are determined that with the help of God we shall do our best to settle genuine payments to which government is committed, including backlog of workers’ salaries after scrutiny.

We are confident and we assure you that even in the face of the global recession, and the seemingly gloomy financial future, given prudent management of Nigeria’s existing financial resources and our determination to substantially reduce and eventually nail down rises in budgetary deficits and weak balance of payments position. The Federal Military Government will reappraise policies with a view to paying greater attention to the following areas: The economy will be given a new impetus and better sense of direction. Corrupt officials and their agents will be brought to book.

In view of the drought that affected most parts of the country, the federal government will, with the available resources, import food stuffs to supplement the shortfalls suffered in the last harvest.
Our foreign policy will both be dynamic and realistic. Africa will of course continue to be the centre piece of our foreign policy. The morale and combat readiness of the armed forces will be given high priority. Officers and men with high personal and professional integrity will have nothing to fear.

The Chief Justice of Nigeria and all other holders of judiciary appointments within the federation can continue in their appointments and the judiciary shall continue to function under existing laws subject to such exceptions as may be decreed from time to time by the Federal Military Government. All holders of appointments in the civil service, the police and the National Security Organisation shall continue to exercise their functions in the normal way subject to changes that may be introduced by the Federal Military Government.

All those chairmen and members of statutory corporations, parastatals and other executive departments are hereby relieved of their appointments with immediate effect.
The Federal Military Government will maintain and strengthen existing diplomatic relations with other states and with international organisations and institutions such as the Organisation of African Unity, the United Nations and its organs, Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Countries, ECOWAS and the Commonwealth etc. The Federal Military Government will honour and respect all treaties and obligations entered into by the previous government and we hope that such nations and bodies will reciprocate this gesture by respecting our country’s territorial integrity and sovereignty.
Fellow Nigerians, finally, we have dutifully intervened to save this nation from imminent collapse. We therefore expect all Nigerians, including those who participated directly or indirectly in bringing the nation to this present predicament, to cooperate with us. This generation of Nigerians, and indeed future generations, have no country other than Nigeria. We shall remain here and salvage it together.

May God bless us all. Good morning.
The speech is fresh like it's was today.

Only that this speech would be apt after another coup today.

Fl3xN3Esses:
Wow, Africans are ignorant as all hell. Now, theyre terming the beliefs of their fathers idolatory and banning it. It must be hell living amongst backwards thinkers that think theyre progressives.

Oh boy, these oyinbo did a thorough job of brainwashing o. So good that 60 years after they left it's even stronger.

When did traditional beliefs become illegal in Nigeria?

Very soon Obas in that state will be banned from wearing native crowns, beads and attire.

We need a FAR more professional Police Service. Better entry criteria, better training, better equipment and better people-centred community policing and intelligence led.

Psychological profile, reaction under pressure, criminal record, customer service skills and orientation are crucial.

We cannot just be drafting dead woods based on quota, tribe, bribery, religion, connections and backward reasons.

Yes, BIG.

Akagbe:
GO AND SEARCH FOR ANOTHER ONE BECOS U V LOST HER TO HIM

Dude, the babe never was OP's own.

It seems the guy wanted to forget her & giving her to his friend (OP) seemed the best way to distance himself.

But later he released he couldn't get over the babe. Imagine a chat between OP's friend and the girl like this:

Friend: Oh girl, I dey miss o.

Babe: I miss you too. But we don agree to forget this thing na.

Friend: But babe I cannot forget all the good times we had, you know what I mean.

Babe: yeah

Friend: Let's meet up. You that eatery. I will pick you up.

Babe: Ah! too risky o. What will your friend say if he sees us?

Friend: That mumu won't know na. He never knew all this while.

They meet up as appointed, drive her home and BOOM!

And OP is here trying to convince us of how sick she was. A sick girl that's really yours will use her friend to bombard you will calls. Even if it's tell you to come foot medical bill.

pesty100:
APC will still end up dividing like PDP did and then another political party consisting of disgruntled APC members and PDP members will be form promising to save us, just watch

Gov Fayemi once said APC may not survive beyond Buhari's regime.
There are at least 4 groups that merged to form APC. Then was added PDP deserters to the mix. Too many competing interests.

Sad thing is we actually need viable parties, with good manifestos and able to give a platform to young dynamic people to aspire in this digital age.

Birdeyeview:
my landlady happens to be one of the most cheerful and easy going person have seen so far.
her atitude and that of her husband has made its possible for we the tenants to live in peace amongst ourselves..

Great. I hope no tenant abuses their amiability.

Some tenants just take the piss and abuse kindness.

And he was right. See us today.

Brains that should be developing us are in churches shouting fire! Thunder!

helinues:


Nothing Africa can do successfully on their own .

ABI o.

But better to admit failure and recruit those with ability to do it.

I have long suggested getting Australians, Canadians and other advanced Commonwealth countries without colonial baggage with us to run ICPC and EFCC.

So that nobody can cry tribalism or marginalisation when caught red-handed and later convicted.

ORIENTATION101:
any where Belle face. you welcomed is suspension yesterday but when it was lifted u now realised it is doesn't benefit.
Typical example of cutting your nose to spite ur neighbor

Surprisingly I would have benefitted from Oshio if I wanted to. Because I have people who benefitted from him personally. But it's not about personal gain. But his doing the opposite of what he preached. To remove godfatherism from politics.

I just like people sometimes getting a taste of their own medicine.
Are you too young to be a party chairman?

34 to 40 years old people are prime ministers and presidents in many countries.
Irrespective of what happens in Nigeria, it has no effect on me or my kids. My parents are no more.

In fact I can even forget about Nigeria for life.
But it's not about my personal gain

Rubber stamp senate.

Eku ise o.

I hope you guys will get at least 1 billion dollars as bribe money for the rubber stamp.

One day there will be no hiding place for you lot.

Good.

They should also make corruption attract death sentence.

They all know the county has no future. It is doomed. They are just grabbing as much as they can to secure their generations yet inborn.

But the plan of man is not the plan of God.

Lol. Let's be honest. What use is his remain in the office or suspension from it to the masses?

It's all about who is going to short change the masses and impose bad leaders on us. It hardly matters who does it.

Sure is that one day the hunter will be the hunted.

JuanDeDios:
Then why have they not manufactured more cases yet? And you really think the fact his name has not been released is a sign of conspiracy. You people though.

Is there anything not possible in Nigeria?

Is it not in Nigeria that python eats millions? Where huge money can be found locked in Ikoyi empty flat and never heard of again?

nutripotherbals:
No Corona Virus in Nigeria

I would not be surprised if that's the truth.
Is there money to be given to countries where Corona is infecting people?

If there is, I won't put it past our officials to fake Covid to get their paws on the money. The Italian has no name, no picture, nothing. How would people who might have been around him outside plane, airport, hotel and taxi know?
