I once heard story of a jehovah witness that refused blood transfusion because it's against their religion and died after
This is not even a story, I know a woman who stayed close to our house who was a Jehovah Witness. Her husband had children from his first wife before he married her.

She waited for a long time and didn't have a baby until she got pregnant and was in critical condition at Ayinke house, Ikeja then. She needed blood transfusion, her husband didn't approve of it cos they are jehovah Witness.

She lost the baby and nearly lost her life but survived. Years later her husband died and she never remarried for a long till her eventual demise too. Even before she died her husband's older children had been planning to have move out of the house so they can sell it( They eventually sold the house after her demise).

That thing no make me like all those religious sect with yeye do's and don'ts

What kind of stupidity is this? If that child's life was important to them, she would have removed it. Is there any Islamic injuction that even mandates women to wear niqab in the public?

I like that the nurses stood their ground. Anywhere he likes let him post the video, nothing will happen.
I think for the parents it's an ego thing or having a resistance complex. Because I'm assuming the mother removing will be in the midst of the nurses who are equally women themselves; it's not as if a man will be there to look at her hair.

I don't know what the husband's problem his. As a father I will be more interested in getting my child treated ASAP than being concerned about whether my wife wears or removes her Niqab.

I guess the purpose of the video was to blackmail the nurses into bending the rules for them.

It's a simple issue. If they can't comply with the laid down rules of the hospital, they should seek treatment elsewhere.

It's obvious they value obeying quranic injunctions more than their child's life.

With the state of insecurity in Nigeria at the moment, people need to be careful around these niqabis and their spouses (extremists).
Aside the security issue, I believe the health of the child should be the parent's first concern. If the health workers are saying u should take off Niqab to prevent spreading infection to ur baby and other babies on admission, I believe the wise thing to do is comply.

That kind strong head they are doing is similar to a Jehovah witness refusing blood transfusion when he or she is critically sick. I honestly don't know why people toy with their lives
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga)Re: EPL Chatroom - All Discussions by BlueRayDick: 1:12pm On Feb 02, 2024
This happened at UCH Ibadan. A sick new born baby was brought in by her parents for treatment, the matrons on duty requested that the mother of the child who wore Niqab removes her Niqab so she can be with the child while they treat her. ( They explained this is necessary because babies have weak immune system and the Niqab can actually spread infection in a neonatal ward)

The mother refused to take off the Niqab and the father insisted on her not taking it off. The medical officers declined going ahead to treat the child in the clinic if the mother will not take off the Niqab.

The parents obviously believe they are being discriminated against while the medical officers insisted they are protecting the child and other children in the clinic from infection.

For all you know cardoso is also using style to force out the dead weight political appointees who alternate between marking register and compromising the organization. Ndumes daughter and others will probably chose to resign rather than have to do actual paid work
It's just unfortunate that our elites have normalized these things. Even if Cardoso succeeds in purging people like Ndume's daughter out, they will most likely be replaced with children of other elites who will come with their own attendant issues.

What happens to CBN doing normal recruitment like normal companies like banks, big 4's, oil & gas companies and other multi nationals? How will they get the best hands when they only recruit children of elites who get the jobs based on their parent's influence?

Nigerians get talents o. I will never forget one guy I met at the assessment center of one of the big 4's, that guy ran 2-degree programs at the same time: one in pet. engineering and the other in geology in different schools. He made first class in both, got scholarships while at it, has so many skills like well drilling, video editing, web development, etc. It's sad that someone like him will never get a shot at CBN, NNPC and FAAN job, but a child of a politician who graduates with a lower in any funny course will get the job.

“Even if my ward is working in CBN, is she the only person that is going to be transferred to Lagos? There are hundreds of people that they planned to move to Lagos. Whenever an issue like this crops up, instead of addressing the issue, the people and some of the reporters will now concentrate on the messenger, not the message,” he said.


“So this is the kind of distraction, let us discuss. Is it necessary at this time to relocate some of these departments and agencies of government back to Lagos. Why was the capital moved from Lagos to Abuja, was it not because of congestion, because of inconveniences, because of inefficiencies?
https://www.nairaland.com/7988357/ndume-daughter-works-cbn-spoke

When Ndume was hyperventilating on the CBN relocation issue, I knew his lamentation was not from a place of logic. So he's only complaining cos his daughter who works with CBN will be relocating to Lagos and he's not happy about that. Smh.

Shame on other educated northerners who let themselves to be gaslighted by selfish politicians like Ndume who have their wards tucked in elite government agencies like CBN, FIRS, NNPC, FAAN etc while they continue to defend them online.

I just knew it made no sense for me wey no get any vested interest in what goes on in CBN to be fighting them for relocating their staff to Lagos where they will be provided with relocation and inconvenience allowance. Word on the street is that most of these elite children who are staff of CBN have other businesses they operate in Abuja and the relocation to Lagos will distort their plan of running those businesses side by side with the CBN job where they earn millions .

In November a mediator for a high profile Agent approached parents and representatives of Arsenal's Youth Academy . It was outlined to them that as Arsenal have one of the youngest squads in the League and now financial fire power with Champions League football and the gained sponsorship that a route to the first team is currently unavailable.

The Agent offered to work on each players behalf with a signed "authority " for the guardian/parent . The Agent agreed that it was illegal to provide services to players under age and he would act without payment but under a "gentleman's agreement " to negotiate the players first professional contract.

Arsenal have had a run of Academy players leave in the last few days with said "Agent " working behind the scenes destabilizing the Hale End .

This disgruntled Agent set about an inner attack on the Club after Arsenal made approaches to Hato of Ajax.

Hato can't move abroad ( UK ) until he turns 18.
Hato has a contract of €10K per week in Holland and the Dutch have a near 50% Tax .

The deal to take Hato to Arsenal is complex and this Agent has come for Arsenal and it's Academy and being powered out of representing Hato .

The WAR in the Academy and the Hato transfer are both ones to watch

#arsenalfanaticsnews
I no understand the bolded at all. So because we have one of the youngest team in the league, it means we can't transit academy player to first team? Says who?

Shey na Arteta dey do this rubbish abi na Edu or Josh Kereonke?

You are right, but bode George clearly thinks otherwise for some reason.
I'm not sure Bode George accused Osinbajo of anything either in an interview or press release. From that link u posted even Osinbajo was not sure Bode Geroge made those claims, I guess that was why he said he hopes it is fake news and the product of some mischief .

Methinks Bode George is bitter because he was convicted for something almost every politician does. What makes it worse was that he was sentenced for contract splitting; which was later established by supreme court not to be a crime as at the time he was convicted grin grin grin

It was an APC run govt that prosecuted convicted and jailed him for contract splitting

Even the so called pardon or reversal by GEJ will not change that

The man will go to his grave hating Tinubu.
Bode George was prosecuted by EFCC for contract splitting while he was NPA chairman. I don't think his conviction has anything to do with APC or Tinubu.

You once said that you would leave Nigeria and renounce your citizenship if Tinubu emerged as president. Now that he has been declared as the winner of the election, will you still renounce your citizenship and leave Nigeria?:

That is still on my plan. If I decide on what to do, I wish you well. I’m not looking for a job, I have everything I want and how much can I eat? I also have my children and they are no longer kids. They are all mature so what am I looking for? My wife is there. She will take good care of me. I will stay in Nigeria depending on the outcome of this because I know there might be a hell of a problem.


Which country do you plan on relocating to?

You know I am a military lord so I can go anywhere in any part of the world and I will be looking at you, people. I have even decided that having put 25 years each in the military and politics which is 50 years of my life in the public domain, I need rest so whatever I see at the end of this thing. I’m retiring from partisan politics and will be enjoying the rest of my life.

Generally, people from Southern states tend to hold governments at the three levels accountable than their Northern counterparts.

Historically, there was a time when a ferocious critic of the state government being, for example, in Lagos under Tinubu, Akwa Ibom in Akpabio's first tenure, Abia under OUK, Enugu under Nnamani, and Ogun under OGD was relatively dangerous, but I think it's abated. Actually, it has.

Southern states went through the phase Reccy is mentioning in terms of repercussions for vehement state government criticism. The relative ease and freedom to criticize these Southern state governments now was earned through tears and blood.
I think like Reccy later added, religious dogma and maybe culture plays an important role in the way the north seems receptive of bad governance and not challenging the status quo when it comes to politics/leadership.

In the south u have irreligious people and liberally religious people in abundance. The irreligious people are not subservient to any religious dogma and will express their mind when they feel any leader is messing up. The liberals also raise eyebrows when their religion asks them to follow and obey the leaders sheepishly. And yes the south also have people who are seriously religious, but they are diluted by the aforementioned 2 groups which kinda give things a balance.

On the other hand, the north has mostly religious people who belong to the Christian and Muslim faith. Some part of each religion encourages u to obey and follow the leader. The Christian faith encourages u to pray for ur leaders (Some of the leaders know this and they milk it well; they will keep soliciting the people's prayer while they deliberately continue to misgovern)

Whatever mining is going on is not large scale /industrial /organized. If it was we would not be having no name unidentified companies, Unnamed malian miners.

To date no one has been interviewed on TV. No one has even been arrested for improper storage of dynamite.

To this day no one has even said exactly what minerals are being exploited.

This is also why I believe there was not that much scrutiny to begin with. Whatever mining going on was lowercase, clandestine, 'miner and brothers', not 'miner plc'.
The Miner's name is Sawane Youssouf and he has come out to allege everything Seyi Makinde has been saying are lies. He has come out to confirm he is a miner operating in Oyo state with an approval from Federal government of Nigeria.

The onus is now on Seyi Makinde to disclose the information he has as the CSO of Oyo state that suggests the miner was operating illegally in the state, that the building now referred as ground zero belongs to the miner and that the miner stored explosives in that residential premises against the laws of the state and federal republic of Nigeria.

Na Seyi Makinde get explanations to do ; not the other way round.
