seunmsg: Government doesn’t need his attention seeking advice. The FG, Lagos state government, Ogun State givernmebt, NCDC and other health care professionals are already on top of the situation. He doesn’t know better than those currently handling the situation.
But the MDCAN (Medical and Dental Consultants' Association of Nigeria) are on strike. I think in that Association are some of the professionals you are hoping on.
alsudan: Boko recruitment form must be the juiciest in town, considering how the dullard rewards these terrorists that have killed, raped and maimed Nigerians.
Buhari is worst than Ebola and Corona Virus put together.
You made a valid point here. Boko haram can be using this to lure people to join them. BH: Join us. You won't die, even if you are captured, you'll be well taken care of by the federal government. Afterwards, you'll be released and placed on wages that even the so called graduates of their universities can't earn.
SmallmebigGod: publishing their names in the media seems worse than the expulsion itself
Seriously, they don't know how this will hunt them in future. If this approach will eradicate exam malpractice in the country, so be it. Let other institutions follow suit. The most painful part for me is that secondary school students are also into it. Something urgently should be done.
RuudVanNisteroy: This is my dream team for Nigeria to bring an end to corruption and become an economic powerhouse and shining light in Africa: President - Tony Elumelu Sports Minister - Kanu Nwankwo/Jay Jay Okocha Minister of Finance - Jim Ovia/Atedo Peterside Minister of Petroleum - Basil Omiyi/Mitiu Sunmou (Former MD's of Shell) Minister of Trade - Adebayo Ogunlesi (Board member in Goldman Sachs ) Attorney General - Femi Falana Minister of Information - Maupe Ogun (Channels TV) Minister of Communications - Linda Ikeji Minister of Foreign Affairs - Olisa Agbakoba Minister of Police Affairs - DCP Abba Kyari Minister of Power - Udom Inoyo - First Nigeria Vice Chairman of Exxon Mobil Minister of Transport - Ibukun Awosika -First Woman to be appointed Chairman of First Bank Minister of Culture - Omotola Jakeinde/Genevieve Nnaji
No career politician or ex general can make my list because they are all fantastically corrupt shameless crooks.
Anyways, this is your dream team. I don't see it changing the Nigerian situation, but it will be far better than the present administration.
You assume that the only problem facing the country is from the executive arm. The legislative arm needs total overhaul. I would have listed my team here or the qualities that should head affairs of the country, but it is your thread.
The first confirmed case of the deadly Corona virus in Africa has been confirmed in Egypt.
Egypt has confirmed its first case of a deadly coronavirus that emerged in central China at the end of last year and has since spread to more than two dozen countries around the world.
Health Ministry spokesman Khaled Mugahed said in a statement on Friday that the affected person was a "foreigner" who did not show any serious symptoms.
In Hong Kong, new virus rekindles old animosities towards China COVID-19: WHO renames deadly coronavirus Weakest link: Global supply chains disrupted by coronavirus Officials were able to confirm the case through a follow-up programme implemented by the government for travellers arriving from countries where the virus has spread.
The ministry statement said the person was hospitalised and in isolation. It did not specify the person's nationality or their point of entry.
The development made Egypt the first country in the African continent to report a confirmed case, and the second in the Middle East region, after the United Arab Emirates late last month diagnosed its first cases.
'Grave threat' Officially known as COVID-19, the virus was first detected in Wuhan, the capital of Hubei Province in central China, in December last year.
It has so far killed almost 1,400 people and infected nearly 65,000 others globally.
Three deaths have been recorded outside mainland China - one in Hong Kong, one in the Philippines and the most recent in Japan.
More than two dozen countries have confirmed cases and several nations have evacuated their citizens from Hubei.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned the virus poses a "grave threat" to the world.

As this is a health emergency, I think it is wise for the moderators to push it to front page as soon as possible! There should high alertness for flights from Egypt and other preventive measures should be taken by the Nigerian government to avoid any case in the country.
Akposkool: Reactions in Bayelsa State as Supreme Court sacks Governor Elect of Bayelsa State Chief David Lyon to be replaced by the runner up who happens to be the People's Democratic Party's Douye Diri.. Let's see how the story unfolds
chiemmanuel: Misplaced priorities, channel your energy to the right channel
Seriously.... to face Boko haram. This kind of act gives people more relevance than expected.
Take for instance, if tomorrow your compound is blocked or invaded by soldiers, many people who don't even know you will start being interested and you get attention. Same goes with some EFCC activities.
Let's imagine this funeral occurs without police or military presence, it will simply go as one of those burials.
usba: US has spent trillion of dollars and 15 years in Afghanistan, yet they can't defeat a rag tag Taliban instead they want to negotiate with them, insurgency are difficult to defeat, but we will overcome them. Allah shall grant NA victory of BH, the new found heroes of wailing zombies.
The situation is not the same as in Nigeria. Just imagine a terrorist group in Mexico causing mayhem in a neighbouring US state... Tell me again it will last years to subdue. Afghanistan is miles away from the US, and these Talibans know the terrain so well around all those rocks and mountains. Boko haram is in Nigeria, and they can be totally defeated. If only you know how the morale of our soldiers keep dwindling. Please do not compare it with US/Afghanistan war.
Residents of Jiddari Polo in Maiduguri, Borno state capital, are currently running for cover following an attack launched by Boko Haram fighters.
The attack happened hours after President Muhammadu Buhari paid a condolence visit to the people of the state over the killing of 30 persons on Sunday.
Let's assume that Borno is a country fighting Nigeria in a war, does it mean that Nigeria, cannot defeat them (Boko haram) ? Buhari can say or insist on moving his office to Borno (to any town but not Maiduguri) for a month. His presence there can make him feel what these people are feeling.
God protect my friends and all innocent people over there.

Romangalactic: I'll try to keep my predicament short. I registered a new account for this purpose but I'm sure many of you will understand that sterility is not something to be announced which is exactly how I got myself in this situation. I am 35 and engaged to a beautiful woman who completes me in every way. As much as it hurts me to say this, I have not been totally honest with her about everything. Just yesterday while we were home together, she told me that she is pregnant . I asked her how sure she is, she said she had done the pee test and that she knows how she is feeling. The issue here is that I am sterile but I have not told her this before so it is impossible that I am responsible.
Please before anyone tells me I deserve this for not opening up to her, I have been undergoing treatment secretly and they say I will be able to father children when it's done so of course, I am hopeful and have not bothered to inform her about any of this. I can't stand losing her for any reason. My issue right now is that I asked my endocrinologist this morning if it's possible that the treatment is already working and he said we have not gone far enough to see any results yet. This means I am definitely not the father of the child she is carrying.
Only one other person in this world knows about my health challenge and that is my cousin. I told him and he told me to break up with my fiancée, someone I have already done introduction with and families are involved. I told him I cannot and that he must take the secret to the grave, he thinks I am making the biggest mistake of my life. Well I told him my plan is to accept the pregnancy and continue to make her think I don't know she cheated on me. I am doing this with the hope that after we get married, my treatment will be completed and everything will be back to normal. But at the same time, I still can't shake the feeling that I am about to marry someone who cheated and is passing off another man's child as mine, I feel cheated and it hurts.
Can anyone else please tell me what to do about this situation I have found myself? Please I just need to hear from other people besides my cousin. Another thing, he has never really liked my fiancée so I feel that also may be his motivation. I need neutral opinions please
