HBB1:
You are very wrong and lack 'appropriate' knowledge ( I wanted to say unexposed, but I think that's rude).

Someone calling himself a Dr is pride by your standards?
Do you have an inferiority complex?

If the Royal College of Surgeons prefer to call themselves Mr, that is their decision, but it doesn't hold the World over.

..and let me reiterate British Surgeons get offended when called Dr.
Once their exams are passed, they drop the Dr tag-- it is Mr, followed by his qualification.

Calling himself Mr is a mark of distinction and not humility.

Who exactly are you to mention inferiority? Let's begin with the schools you attended and the exact place you work. Not just say Dr or dentist but which hospital do you work in and in which country?

The fact is that you remain ignorant about history medicine. I hope for God's sake you are not part of the noble profession. If not the school that educated you without history of the profession failed woefully.

HBB1:
Get your facts right!

Surgeons call themselves 'Mr' to distinct themselves from other Doctors.

It is a thing of pride for them... and a number of them get offended when you call them Dr.

If a man has earned a title, he should bear it.

What do you know about history of medicine? Let us hear it.

Pride is exactly the problem with 9ja. Do you know how Mr for surgeons came about? I guess you won't know without googling. The origin has nothing to do with pride.

Don't try telling someone who knows.

Openbusiness:
oh boy, u go fear qualifications wonderful!!! The best part I like about people like this is that when you meet them one-on-one, they are usually so jovial, gentle, soft spoken and humble. You will see many of them like that as senior consultants in Govt hospitals, very calm decent well mannered people that are humble, dem no dey carry am for head even though they are OVER-qualified with qualifications longer than 3rd mainland bridge . They still mingle with regular folks in a cool way. But you see those Doctors that just did Msc, chaiii, those ones dey too dey feel like people are beneath dem, shakara tew mush

Dude, the more you learn, the more you know how much you don't know and therefore remain humble.
Also many top consultants have foreign degrees, have travelled widely doing research, as examiners, etc. They have seen the humility of the very best experts abroad.

You see the people who develop therapies, pioneers in certain surgical procedures, win Nobel Prizes, and so on, they are so down to earth. In UK your top surgeon will be called Mr Jones, Mr Davies, not Dr Jones or Dr Davies unless he is also a professor. It is for historical reasons.
But 9ja surgeons did not copy that "Mr" bit from the British despite being our colonial master. We too like title to copy that.

bjtinz:
Shut up please. Illiterate like you know better than experts abi? Nonsense.

What they spew on here is really disgusting my brother. Many people have no expertise or do what they do through connections and probably do a shoddy job. So they believe other people are like them. They do not know what expertise or empirical stuff is.

Shes lying to you people. The city or apartment complexes hire contractors to clear the snow. If you own your own house, you can also hire private contractors to clear the snow on your driveway for the whole winter season. Worst case, you can hire some local kids, pay them 20 dollars or so and they'll do it.

Lastly, most cars come with automatic car starters. Or you can buy one and get it installed. You can start your car anywhere. Sit inside your warm house while you car gets warm. You can turn up the heat in your car, etc. Snow and cold is not an issue. You can solve those problems easily.

This woman has an agenda and is trying to discourage people for whatever reason to come to Canada. SARS and Buhari are killing people. Unemployment and poverty is on the rise in Nigeria. And what's disturbing her is snow ? She's too foolish to realize this will make people want to come to Canada even more.

She is not discouraging any one. You can tell somebody who does not live in a snowy country. You cannot say it's everyone who will wait for doorsteps to be cleared by others before going out. You mean it's every community you will see local guys ready to clear your snow?

Whenever you tell people about own experience they call it discouragement. All they want to hear is that the president, monarch or prime minister is your neighbour and Na you dey run things. They want empty bragging. Then will be pestering "baba, assist me Na".

Have a simple argument with them here and they tell you that you are second class citizen abroad and you wash dead bodies.

Our people just have too much belle abeg.

SweetJoystick:
Make she come back, make space dey for us wey wan go Canada

Canada is big enough, there is enough space for everyone duly qualified to go. No need for some to return to accommodate you.

No need for bad belle for everything.

Her information is useful to some people. You truly have to appreciate people sharing information. I would have appreciated such info before leaving to live in a temperate environment those many years ago.

Even within a country, weather can affect where you choose to settle. Chicago or Miami, Paris or Nice, London or Edinburgh, etc.

Symptoms might hide but death cannot hide.... If truly people are hiding symptoms and are dying like in the US or UK, bro citizens would have cried out at least I trust Nigerians with this... I don't know whats happening. Maybe God is with us... But you see this COVID-19 for Nigeria e get as e be...

9ja where death is very cheap? Lots of people die at home and they just take them to mortuary from there.

Go to towns across 9ja from Wednesday and see rate of funerals. How many deaths undergo autopsy for example? In the West Covid-19 can be picked up at autopsy, for example in sudden death and counted as covid death also.

Many are people dying of any cause within 28s day of testing positive for Covid-19. The reason we see high figures in Europe and AMERICA is because the authorities actually care.

9ja where many died at Lekki Bridge and LASG said only one person died of blunt trauma.

Until you go out and see serious countries at work, you won't realise that 9ja is a very silly joke of a country.

Unless you are in related field, you will probably just be arguing based on imagination instead of facts or science.

Sirmuel1:
I know some People will support it. This shit is wrong!!! It all started in 2017. It wasn't like this before. No one did this in 2001 or 2002. Life was a little better in the 80s also

Really? I saw in the 1990s. Where have you been not to see it? You probably mean in 9ja.
People used to kill twins in some places. Now many people swoon over twins.

Culture evolves. She is not naked but dressed for exercise. Something African need more of for better health. Men of course too. Those at the frontline know what mean.

Sirmuel1:
Ask yourself, will your kid be proud of this when they are 15yrs and above? I'm sorry but exposing your belly looks disgusting to me

What is disgusting about a pregnant belly? It's just part of nature. We all went through there to be born. Preggy is the most life-affirming and amazing thing to see. Especially if you have the privilege to look inside (scan) routinely through the months.

Whether their teenage kids would be proud about them is another matter. I teenage daughters of Obama and his wife Michelle would have been embarrassed by their parents at times. As cool as their parents are. Kids get embarrassed by virtually everything their parents do in public.

wwwkaycom:
Its painful that my wife won't allow me to talk sense into her head!

Chai! Dude, your niece probably sees you as Uncle Libral.

Going to the room for a few minutes would be ok by me.

But three house? Nah! She has turned your guest room into "short time" hotel room.

If you condone this nonsense she will be coming more often and "hosting" her guy there. Next will be the guy sleeping over. This was just their dry run.

Mexyz:
There should be severe punishment for false accusations to serve as deterrent to other would be liars....
Only God knows what that fake write-up did to the image of the INEC commissioner and everything associated with him.

Lies brought APC power and have sustained them there ever since. But truth eventually trumps lies. Lies upon lies, denials, u-turns, part-admissions, then bigger bare-faced lies again. Quite pathological and embarrassing.

We are not saying PDP have better people since they all cross-carpet every minute, but PDP members tone down their lies a bit.

suremossty:
Kogi babes where una dey

If you don't search, you don't find. The state is not doing tests freely so it is not diagnosing. Imagine Kogi people that travel to Abuja & Lagos a lot, they don't catch Covid-19? The guy will rather people die quietly, so far he can fantasize about the state having no Covid-19.

If true by now WHO would be doing research in Kogi to find SARS-COV2 resistant gene or genes.

Simple, basic nutritious food. Roast potato, roast carrots, roast parsnips and roast Brussels sprouts. Sausages wrapped in bacon, jollof rice and turkey.

Meaning you're not in Nigeria.... If you're in Nigeria and with the rate the virus spreads as we're told, then death rate will be around 1,000,000 people.... It might have devastating effect on some few people but in general covid-19 in Nigeria is almost non-existent

How many tests are done in major cities daily in Nigeria? Way too little for a population of 200m. Remember Covid-19 is most silent or very mild like common flu in young people that make up over 70% of the people.

Do you know how many hide their symptoms or die silently because of stigma?

That we have fewer obvious cases says something negative too. Life expectancy in Nigeria is only about 52 years old.

Most deaths in the West involved over 60s, with over 80s being the biggest group. Causing catastrophe in old people's care homes.

Look at even most who died in 9ja: Abba Kyari, former Oyo state governor, etc. If you consider their football age possibly at play, most would in reality be over 65 to 75.

CodeTemplar:
Covid is real but I don't support using it to persecute the church. Muslims have been gathering and markets have been bubbly ever since.

The thing with Covid-19 is that whoever breaches prevention protocols should be called out. No matter their status or religion.

While majority of infected people may not get seriously, we cannot tell for sure who will get ill. We only know from experience that elderly and those with underlying illnesses have disproportionately got ill and some died.

That some people of one religion possibly did something inappropriate does not justify another group doing it.

You cannot compare the South with a more liberal attitude and vibrant media to be criticised as much as the more conservative North. It's just reality.

Seun:
Personally I am shocked to learn that they were allowed to have physical services at Shiloh. There's no faster way to spread a virus nationwide, than a large gathering in which strict adherence to COVID protocols comes across as a lack of faith, with participants from all over the country.

Seun you are not following the conspiracy theories flying around. They say Covid-19 is a hoax o. Because it didn't kill anyone around them.
They say people like us who see the devastation of it daily are only making it up.

My disappointment is that many even parade one or several degrees. Education is not wisdom at all.

Rip to the dead. Quick recovery to the injured.

EdricBond:
Stare at her till she force herself to speak to you, guy na to make money dey hungry me, no be girl's matter! I don leave girls for now! Make I think about my life!!!

Alaye, accept the challenge and stop to dey shalaye

We will contribute another for Leah's cause.

All these presidency goons just cannot resist the urge to shalaye.

Baba I agree with you. But your generation creamed off Nigeria and left every sector in shambles for the current generation. Only to share our commonwealth to build own private empires.

Education can only be as good as those who manage it and the facilities, faculty and other resources available.

Countries that produce top quality graduates don't do so using mediocre and dilapidated universities.

samzyini:
she told you with style by refunding the money that she is not after your money but love and care

Did you read the fully story?
We have some bunch of very ungrateful girls these days who see men as meal tickets.

Actually men are to blame by even obliging them to begin with.
Pray for one of the rare good ones.

Our social fabric is in trouble really.

binghammer:
If the roles were reversed, what would she do? Think about it from that angle.

Don't just spoil the girl business oga. Women are not that generous towards men who are not their blood. It's we men they expect to be mumu always. Then they will call it love.
That kind move Na flash pool. Pure gamble. If she go do nursing for USA, God help the guy.

Sammy07:
Alright thanks,

Edeyoung aka greyboy.
How far this community sounds Yoruba.
it's even under a community called Ikaye.

A place a member of Benin Royal family is the Enogie /Duke of?

That Iyase of Warri Kingdom, Chief Johnson happens to live in Ologbo does not make it Itsekhiri land.
I knew the late Duke well, a brilliant medical doctor, father of the current Duke.

Ikaye has no history in Benin. Let alone helping Benin defeat and behead Deji Arakale of Akure in 1818 as a few Itsekhiri now claim. Land fight is very common in Delta. Urhobo v Ijaw, Itsekhiri v Urhobo, Ijaw v everyone whether Ogoni, Benin, Yoruba, etc.
It was the Arinjale of Uhen who delivered the escaping Arakale to General Ezomo of Benin Empire in 1818.

She probably liked what she saw in your house when she came visiting..she now knows money resides with you people..

Simple, just tell her you are a houseboy in the house and watch her stop calling you..

The house boy part got me. She go japa without ever looking back.

nelsdavid:
If he is olu of itsekiri,then we should have ovie of urobo....mumu people saying nonsense have u heard of oba of Yoruba or emir of hausa...a king is name by the place or town he comes from

My brother go back into history. The issue caused a problem in Warri province back then. It was Olu of itsekhiri.

When Awo made it Olu of Warri, Urhobo and other tribes protested. Because what is now Delta was Warri Province of Western Region. Urhobo and others felt it implied that Olu was now ruler of all Warri province (virtually all of Delta today).
The settlement was made thus : The name was changed to Delta Province instead.

Benin province and Delta province became Midwest Region in 1963. Later became Bendel taking first three letters each from Benin and Delta.

Please don't just attack people until you have the facts from history. Though the guy did not correctly explain his points but he was partly right. The Olu is generally monarch over Warri area. Increase of Urhobo population does not change that.

In any case the Urhobos granted passage and even escorted Prince Ginuwa on his way from Benin to Ode itsekhiri, welcoming his coming from ancestral home of the Urhobo people in Benin back then. There was still close kinship then.

Oracleforce:
I think this was the king that doesn't want to be identified with fetish culture in Warri land....because he announced that he is a born again, Christian

Only God knows what could have killed him. . Covid 19 cause is just a frameup

That was Ogiame Atuwatse Il. That Ogiame passed away soon after that saga in 2015. This is his junior brother who replaced him in 2015.

Obafemi Awolowo died weeks after attending coronation of Atuwatse II in 1987. Not saying it had any thing to do with it.

georgeakins:
Pls, what is the meaning of IYATESERE?

Iyatsere has its origin in Benin as Iyase.

It means "with this I surpass you all". It was created by the Oba of Benin centuries ago to checkmate the senior elders or Uzama when they were exercising their clout a bit too much.
It became the Prime minister and commander of Royal Army. Though chief Ezomo became the battlefield commander as Iyase did more administrative duties.

Over hundred years before the first prime minister in Europe was created. Cardinal de Richelieu by the King of France.

When in 1480 Prince Ginuwa left Benin to become Lord or Ruler of the Seas (Ogiame), junior sons of the chiefs of Benin went with him as part of his new royal court in Ode itsekhiri.

valirex:
Well I will continue preaching the truth, and you can't stop me

The way these guys masturbate over Benin matter Na lie o.
They say they are telling the truth.
What incentive have they to say the truth? None because they want to create modern imperialism because they failed on the battlefields back then.

What they forget is that Europeans witnessed Benin wars from about 1500 AD and documented them.

The cross dresser so desperately wants my attention that he-she is madly provocative posting. I won't indulge any fool.

Excuzeme:
So, in your opinion, if it were Fashola or Fayemi that was the V.P at this moment, would either of them resign?
But you have dodged the more important question: What happens after the resignation?
Does that stop Buhari and his cabal from doing whatever they are doing or want to do and if so, HOW?

It is your right to dislike Osinbajo (I honestly think the V.P job is just a decoration, the way Nigeria's constitution is written, and deliberately written that way) but you cant heap all the blame of Nigeria on his head afterall, he cannot do beyond what the constitution empowers him to do......
.....maybe just lick the yansh of whoever is President
Sambo and many other V.P's before Osinbajo, were "lickers" as well or did you not know that the nick-name they gave to V.P Sambo, under President Jonathan was "MUTE Button" .

BTW: Fayemi will make one of the worst President Nigeria will ver produce, if he was mistakenly put there, the way Buhari was.
God forbid we repeat the same mistake, back-2-back

I have no connection with Osinbajo. Most of us saw him as a brilliant human rights advocate with Christian morale as a pastor to boot. We didn't expect him to become just an ordinary self-serving politician. Alas we were mistaken.

So you mean if you cannot prevent evil you should associate with it? Osinbajo does not have to do anything after resigning. Because even now in "power" he is not doing anything. ,
No difference.

It didn't see any point in answering what he will do out of office because of the above plus he wasn't born as VP. He had other jobs before. If they had lost 2019 election nko? Won't he find another job to do?

waleademolaa:
Fake news.. He died of acute asthmatic attack

.
Do you know that asthma patients are at increased risk they catch Covid-19 infection?
Anyone who dies within 28 days of Covid-19 infection is deemed to have died of Covid-19.
Post mortem should that he had Covid-19 infection.
Of course medical Frontline staff are at risk of Covid-19 infection generally.

Medical staff + asthma and or diabetes, heart disease, obesity immunosuppression, receiving chemotherapy treatment, are bad combos.
