Nice one. Is 120\80 normal for even elderly people? A doctor once told me that 140 is normal for people above 50

Yeah, you're right. And I saw a doctor who said that 115/75 is the best.

I am not in anyway justifying fraud, Don't get me wrong, am just trying to point out that no sin is greater than another, you can't masturbate in the confines of your home and castigate a thief .

A thief and a masturbator are not the same thing, even from the constitution standpoint.

Good!I hope that bros that sang living things is reading this??.. .later he'll say he's praising hardworking socialites...

As much as I liked that song by 9ice, I had to delete it because it contradicts what I stand for. It promotes ills of the society.

Different heads of animals.

mediclife1987:
Do you know doctors who graduated 5years ago are now collecting 80k/month? Do you know some doctors are collecting just 45k/month? Infact i cant coint the no of times I've begged my secondary school mates for money to raise me. I'm even tired of asking anymore sef. Right now I've left my secondary school forum cos I've been disgraced out of the group for always asking for help recurrently. Nigerians will not pay a doctor, they'll cheat a doctor, owe him, steal from him, despise him, curse him, even beat him & kidnap him. But they'll still want us to suffer well first like the others.

No way! Enough is enough!!!

Our mumu don do!!!

A country where docs are owed, underpaid, and even cheated join untop. A doctor died of Lymphoma cos he didn't have enough money for surgery, imagine, he couldn't even save his OWN life!!!! Cos no money to help himself in HIS OWN profession!!! doctors have died in the hospital trting to save patients lives. Right now I'm gently nursing hypertension on a daily basis and can't even remember when last I went for a checkup cos no money and no time.

Yet you continue to compare us with other professionals, doing thay alone simply shows you have no value for us, even Somalia don't play with their doctors, they don't care if they don't have anything else bit "food, Shelter & health" is a must!!! But in Nigeria, we prefer to pull our doctor down, so that we'll all suffer 2geda, at least that way everybody go happy ba

You're talking about paying cheap school fees, are you telling me your school fees was not subsidised as well? Or you think you don't owe Nigeria too? Do you want to tell me you'll stay back if Yankee opportunity presents itself?

See brother, there's no need for too much story, let everyone do as they understand, at the end water go find hin level lastlast...no need for too much talk.

2020 is the year I leave, all mam for himself, if you have an opportunity to run, abeg run. If you no get, abeg no block road for those wey wan comot.

Live & let live.

I feel you but you didn't get my point. Health workers deserve commensurate pay with their jobs but this low wages and salaries issue cut across all fields. As worse as it is in Nigeria today, majority of the workers are still envying health workers' pay.

No one is comparing you with other workers as many workers are still not within your salary scales. But should it be about health workers alone? No. Other workers also deserve living wages.

HallaDaTruth:
I JUST HOPE SOME NORTHERN SCALLYWAGS WILL NOT USE THIS AS AN EXCUSE TO START VIOLENCE IN NIGERIA . LONG LIVE ISRAEL AND PEACE UNTO JERUSALEM . KUDOS TO DONALD TRUMP .

But some of your brethren are already jubilating about the killings, if it starts somewhere else, you shouldn't be too concerned.

Yeah, yeah, yeah! And you're shouting about killer herdsmen here in Nigeria when this is your true character.

Mammoth crowd is nothing. Moreover, he is still the president of the country he'll always be welcomed.

Jonathan had more than this and yet he lost the 2015 presidential election.

This is good for your health though.

Do you know northern christians go with the south ?
If elections are based on north Vs south then power will stay for decades in the south

One post, there jokes.

Can you imagine Ishaq Akintola accusing someone of making inflammatory statement!

Because he did make it.

mediclife1987:
The unfortunate mistake you guys make everyday....a real pity.

If only you know what's going on in Nigerian Medical Schools nowadays, you'll shake your head for the country's health sector.

There's a reason why Doctors matter cos there are 3 basic things veey crucial in every society: Food, Shelter and Health. Unfortunately Nigeria continues to deride and mock it's Health sector because it believes it has more than enough.

Do you know what happens to a man who wastes his resources because he believes he'll always have more than enough?

In 2011 when I graduated, I had no intention of leaving the country, I saw my colleague preparing for the US exams then during my Internship and I just took him for an overambitious fellow, now the guy rides the latest model of a Toyota Cary every year while I'm still busy cursing my leggedis Benz....He didn't even bother to serve or do NYSC, he he just gathered money from his internship and off he went.

Now most of this exams are even being written by 200 Level and 300 Level students, hence once they finish, they'll not even do Internship sef and also zoom off.

What does that make Nigeria? It makes us just like Arsenal Football Club where doctors are trained for other serious countries to scoop up. Medical Tourism will in the end continue.

Nevertheless I know you'll think I'm trying to get you scared to make you cower into treating us right.

Funny enough Nigeria has d worst doctor:patient yet you said we still have more around, despite the ones remaining about to leave.

No need jarey, you're right and I'm wrong.

It is not about right or wrong. You got trained almost free of charge compared to what is obtainable in developed countries, put that in mind that your country deserves something in return too. Your salary is below what other doctors are getting in advanced countries, I agree. But you fail to understand that poor salary issue is not limited to doctors but almost all workers. As poor as general salary issue is concerned, doctors are still far ahead of many other workers in Nigeria.

We're in Africa, developing continent, what are the doctors' salary scale in other African countries? You can't just pull out the Nigerian doctors salary scale and start comparing it to what is obtainable in developed countries.

What about other workers who are receiving ridiculously far less than what doctors get in Nigeria.

I'm not saying that salary scale shouldn't be reviewed upward but it doesn't have to be about doctors or health workers alone. Purchasing power are being eroded, it affects every government's worker (minus political office holders).

As I said, if anyone regardless of his/her profession wants to leave the country, nothing can stop such individuals if opportunity present itself. We're in it together, it is not restricted to you alone.

seunlayi:
have you Forgotten how Jonathan govt placed a mass order for prepared meter to Fulfil govt move towards privatization {many already got theirs for free} which was later canceled by Fashola.... He later presented another bill before the NA for same purpose when the dollar was high. Since then, they started holding the meters

Which year did Jonathan place the order, which year was privatization concluded and which year did Fashola come on board? If Jonathan indeed placed mass order for prepaid meters to fulfill govt move towards privatization, how would it be possible for Fashola who came years later after privatization to cancel it?

My point is that you got it wrong. There were already problems with issuance of prepaid meters before Jonathan left. Fashola through NERC stopped DISCOs from collecting further money from new customers since they couldn't supply meters to those who had already paid for it.

And the meters that were distributed freely to customers were the first sets when prepaid meters were recently introduced and it had nothing to do with privatization. You got your timeline of events wrong.

futurism:
If something as simple as prepaid meter can be become a problem, what makes you think Nigeria will ever get constant power supply? It further explains what people have been saying that the Nigeria not experiencing constant power supply is due to some persons preventing...

neonly, thanks for your contribution.

And what federal government, DISCOS AND GENCOS don't understand is that non availability of prepaid meters is also the reason why many people are wasting energy. If every household connected to the power grid has prepaid meter, the rate at which people are wasting energy will be drastically reduced and power supply will be available for longer hours.

Lalasticl.ala what's yours?

I hate the word GUSHES, only God knows why. I wouldn't even click on any link with word. It irritates so much.

ednut1:
Slot dey every where u no go buy. They prefer online cheap ones. Jumia shud be shut down. The business model is crap , selling fake things mean u cant retain customers

My man, Jumia prices are sometimes higher than the shops' prices. The cheapest infinix hot 5 on Jumia is costlier than the one I bought from a shop.

busybrain123:
If we ask them to try shopping on GearBest or any other online dealer outlets, they will be shouting scam, scam as if they have tried them before as they have been trying Jumia all this while. Most of this phones you buy is from a third party dealer on Jumia and some of this dealer are hardened criminal that will look for any slightest mistake to scam you and that's is why Jumia introduce Jumia Express where all products are been tasted, kept on their warehouse. So guys, beware and always order from Jumia Express instead of this third party you see on Jumia website.

You are right but these days, Jumia Global Express is helping oversea sellers in selling substandard products. I'm done with Jumia and anything online buying.

Lakeside79:
You don't understand political strategy he is only there to cut votes

Buhari won the south west not because of tinubu but because we yorubas are intellectuals and we were tired of the ineffectual buffoon and vuhsri seemed a viable.option

Not any more we have lost trust in him so apart from sowore buhari won't get a large vote hull from the south west again we will rather sit on the fence

If you have interest in practical politics and have knowledge of it, you wouldn't say that. Just wait and see the total votes each candidate will get in the south west.

swiz123:
Your question looks childish; the replies you've gotten so far, childish too.

You don't literally need to have 500k in your bank account before thinking of getting married.

You just need to have a steady source of income that will be enough to cater for a family.

A man might be running a business with less than 500k, but he makes steady profits from the business. He might decide to folk out 150k for traditional marriage(depending on the state he intends to marry from), then later he can do church wedding.

Having the mentality that I need to save up to half a million before getting married has kept many men above 35 single.

If you can clothe, feed, provide health care etc for 3 persons comfortably, then getting married shouldn't be a problem.

But while at it, avoid marrying leeches

And how has your response differ in interpretation with some of the advice before yours? All these people with overrated intelligence self appraisal.

bilulu:
Please house I want to ask is there a certain amount of cash you need to have before planning to settle down? for instance one need to have up-to 500k in his account before thinking of settling down. please I need you input.

What is the percentage of people having up to 500k in their accounts before getting married in Nigeria? But one needs to be very careful in order not to multiply poverty in the society. Just only what you can cater for.

AroOkigbo:

Lakeside79:
And you believe sowore will not get votes enough to dent APcs hull from the South West?
Lol

Wait and see

Atiku alone will dent the south west vote hull

The only region that will give Bloc votes I repeat are south south & south east

So pls keep abusing them

Atiku, yes. Sowore, no. You still don't understand the nature of Naija politics. Sowore is a nobody in Naija politics, in the South West.

TonyeBarcanista:
This will further worsen Buhari's woes

Merger of these people at national level is nothing and it is not a threat. SDP? ADP? LP? Who are the members of these parties? Until some APC members start leaving the party for other parties, I can't see any serious alliance against Buhari.

desmond2pk:
The issue is that buhari is a scammer. Is he a scammer not?

No, he's not. Reno Omokri didn't want Buhari in power, he opposed him, voted against him and campaigned against him. Why should I believe that he's not playing their dirty politics here?
Yahoo boys were raided and he was crying in their defence, calling Buhari a scammer and saying illogically that not everyone that lives in posh apartments are scammers. My question is: is everyone living in posh apartments being raided?
And you are asking question too, funny country with funny citizens.

northvietnam:
Nigeria and Some Nigerians are useless...

they will praise politicians that is stealing the future of the country and condemn innocent hard working people...

funny enough, if the money is so big, politicians and top businesses, big companies in Nigeria will clean the money for Gboys... b4 it comes into Nigeria...

if u go through a politician, the money will disappear in abroad and u will be giving naira equivalent here in Nigeria...

if u go through big businesses and companies, sometimes they shop with it in china and give u naira equivalent here in Nigeria...

so u people supporting this madness should first start with politicians first b4 condenming innocent hard workers...

How much is police commisioner sef... that they cant buy one.

You got me confused. Which side are you? Better and working Nigeria or, status quo maintained Nigeria?

Poor man will always rain curses aimlessly. Powerless curses. Seriously, poor man will always suffer and you are right. I only pray you get out of your poverty mentality cos you are already finished. No be me inflict you with a poor mind. Chai! You are doomed bro. How can you get out of poverty? Guy, direct your curses to your papa and mama 5hat brought you into a poor life. Then direct that curse too to yourself 5hat have decided to remain poor.

My point was simple and straightforward and in case you missed it, I was telling you that you are delusional.

Solstar:
True, but if you are great with relationship management and have the reputation grand enough to dine with politicians and sponsor both sides of the war, and live fugal, then the world will walk into your door steps dropping blank checks in anticipation that you are a worthy surrogate, and if you are truly one, then you know enough to put up Special Purpose Vehicles to keep the wheels running for more private investors.

Some of us went to Business Schools, so we know how the cookies crumble if we must toe that line. I am not against Dangote, I love him as a person, and I am actually excited that he is pulling it off without any challenger.

Who knows I might just get fed off enough to start my own convertible bonds ponzi.

Oh, l see. Going to business school meant you're better than Dangote at business! Dangote will teach your teachers lecturers the act of doing business.

Solstar:
Subsitute $18b in my write up with $14b and keep the remaining as your University thesis. I am not competing with any of you here on this private forum, I am stating the obvious, if you are smart enough to see, Sir.

I am not your enemy, so be nice to me. I am a friend. Dangote does not know business bro, he is just lucky to come from a place where criminals need a safe heaven and a surrogate. That to me, is the luck that has become Dangote and I love him for being smart, but does not mean he is the Business God that you guys have made out of him.

You're so full of propaganda and crappy mindset. But I'm not blaming you, you're an average Nigerian doing what you know how to do best.
Do you mind me telling your successful businesses? Or, you're one of those EDC people travelling all over the country, teaching people how to become successful in businesses without themselves having any business?

orunto27:
Very good Ogar. You were a detribalised DSS. Let's see how Onnoghen and his team handle this. Goodluck Ma.

Are you being sarcastic here because you've got me confused? The woman literally became PDP spokesperson.

KenOne:
Was it not the same Ogar that was posted to Borno state after the loss of PDP and she refused to report and said it was a witch hunt and subsequently she was sacked or retired for failing to report to his new base. If NJC could sack a judge from Adamawa division for refusing to honour a transfer from Yola to Mubi division since 2017 then what makes you think you'll get a judgement. All the same you and Joseph Mbu are from Cross River and were tools in the hands of PDP then and had same fate.Mbu retired unceremoniously same as you.

Has Mbu resigned? The last time I heard about him, he was in one village around Jos at police whatever school serving as instructor. Lol. That man was stupid, just like madam.

SternProphet:
Everybody missed the lesson in this story due to shallowness and lack of depth of thinking.
The TOMATO venture has not failed. The factory was wrongly sized for the available produce and ran out of raw mateial.
A factory can be mothballed and start up again but to leave a business because of a small mistake like this is strange
Dangote goes in big in everything. This is a big mistake. He should have started medium scale and grown his own supply chain organically through out grower farmers

And I think that your own "shallowness and of depth of thinking" made you to overlook this:

But he thought lets have a plan B. Lets recruit more farmers to produce tomatoes in case the present capacity was not enough.

You must have been the only wise kid on this thread.

Afam4eva:
Did he not do a feasibility study before venturing into a business with limited raw material?

As much as i respect Aliko Dangote, i think he's overrated as a business man because i can count how many businesses that he has failed at even as Nigeria's business man.

It is easy to criticise. You should try and set up five manufacturing companies, if just two of them survive for five years, I will give you a pass mark. When it comes to Dangote being discussed, you guys would just forget shifting government's policies and lack of infrastructures and how it is causing businesses and companies to fail and close down.
