Under Buhari’s first term, Jonathan had come to the Presidential Villa about twice for private visits.

Lazy players, unambitious coach. The worst attack in the premiership at the moment, they can't even score more than one goal in a match except they're granted underserving penalties.

realestniggah:
What about pogba.. Is he also useless? Daniel James can play right winger.. We can't keep relying on rashford and lingard who have proven time and time again that they are championship striker. We need a striker first, the rest can follow.

Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has made a slight adjustment to his team for the October 13 friendly against the national team of Brazil.

The Franco-German tactician has extended an invitation to Tryonee Ebuehi who has been asked to replace Kenneth Omeruo who is understood to be injured.

Before now, Rohr had picked in-form Granada of Spain midfielder Ramon Azeez and Czech –based forward Peter Olayinka in Nigeria’s 23-man squad for the prestige friendly with five-time world champions Brazil in Singapore on Sunday, 13th October.



Azeez scored against Barcelona last weekend as Granada beat the Spanish champions 2-0 in La Liga while Olayinka became the first Nigerian to score on his Champions League debut in 15 years when he scored for Slavia Prague in a 1-1 draw with Inter Milan last week.

The Returnees

With Omeruo now out, the defenders that would be doing the hard work against the skillful Brazilians would be Abdullahi Shehu and Chidozie Awaziem back from injury, otherwise, the squad is largely unchanged from the side that was forced to a 2-2 draw by Ukraine in Dnipro on 10th September.

Goalkeepers Francis Uzoho, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, and Maduka Okoye are also retained, England –based midfielder Wilfred Ndidi also returns after missing the Ukraine encounter with an injury.

Alex Iwobi, Oghenekaro Etebo, and Scotland –based Joseph Ayodele-Aribo, who scored on his debut against Ukraine, are all back in midfield, with Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, Samuel Kalu, Paul Onuachu and Emmanuel Dennis all back in the frontline.

23 EAGLES TO BATTLE BRAZIL

Goalkeepers: Francis Uzoho (Omonia FC, Cyprus); Ikechukwu Ezenwa (Heartland FC); Emil Maduka Okoye (Fortuna Dusseldorf, Germany)

Here is the story. I sent two laptops to a cousin in UniPort through the United States Post Office Priority package and paid about $120 for postage.

Upon arrival of the package, the Nigeria Post Office called her to come pick up the package with N25k and I was like is this a joke or what?
Is this how it is done or is this extortion and what can be done about it?

These are the kind of people we ought to give mandate to run the affairs of this country. Unfortunately, cabals, mass illiteracy, electioneering frauds and so on will not let them Clinger power.

Christopherrrr:
Hello Nairalanders, greetings. My name is Christopher (pseudonym) from the Eastern part of the country, Imo State to be precise. I'm a man in his early 30's. I have an active account here but I had to sign-up for another account for this thread.
Please pardon my grammatical errors and blunders. MOD please help move to FP.

Few months back, I fell in love with a pretty lady with a beautiful soul. She is 28. Though we are running a long distance relationship but the current in the communication link can power Kanji Dam. Lol!! We can be on calls for hours since the very day I met her. There is a fair share of the feelings, affections, respect and regard for each other. It's not one-sided. Though we have been opportune to be together thrice since the past 10months we met. I have had plans to go about engagement and marriage arrangements this coming festive period though I haven't made this known to her.

She gives me joy, she gives me happiness, she prays for me, she blesses me. There is a part of me she unraveled that I never believed existed. Above all, she gives me peace of mind.

Fast forward to last month, I invited her to a family event. I introduced her to my family as my girlfriend. Instantly everyone fell in love with her. My mum was allover her and she was indeed up and doing. She didn't disappoint me. Not pretence, she has a good home training.

When she left same day after the event, my mum proclaimed her love for her. She said, "Olee ebe isi choota udi nwa nke a?" (Where did you find this kinda girl from?). This made me drop a tear of joy thereafter because I've always prayed for such from her any day I introduce a lady to her. This also happens to be my first time.

Fast forward again to 2weeks later, my dad requested I confirm her community and kindred properly because we happen to come from the same LGA. I didn't even know they have started making inquiries for me even before I asked them to. I confirmed from her and informed my dad. Only for them (my parents) to break the news to me days later that we can't marry from their kindred because they are regarded as Out-Casts (Osu-Cast System). Right now, I can't contend my heartbreak. I'm so devastated and confused.

This has been a long-term tradition that has been for centuries that I don't think it's in my capabilities to do away with it or do otherwise.

My problem now is how do I break the news to her for a breakup because we can't continue like this.

I have never ceased to love her less since the very day I learnt of this. In fact, she gives me reasons to love, cherish and adore her every single day. I still do that to the brim and don't have regrets. Quote me, her type is rare. I love this girl with every breath I take. I just cry myself to sleep every night after our long calls.

Please advise a brother because I'm in a deep state of dilemma.

The medical profession has been from time immemorial, and universally, it still remains the most learned and the noble amongst the original learned profession. Listed among the primary 3 learned profession physician, scribe (Lawyer) and the priest (Clerics). The profession was the doyen of all other professions in the pre-colonial Nigeria. In fact, at that period, the medical profession was at the frontline before the emergence of, and growth of some other professions in Nigeria. Africanus Horton, together with his colleague, William Davies, were the first Nigerians to qualify as medical doctors' when they simultaneously gained the M.R.C.S. of England at King's College, London, in 1858. On the other hand, Oguntola Sapara, who obtained the L.R.C.P. and S. of Edinburgh in 1895, was the last and eighth Nigerian to qualify in medicine in the nineteenth century. Between 1858 and 1895, five other Nigerians graduated in medicine, namely Nathaniel King (1874), Obadiah Johnson (1884), John Randle (1888), Orisadipe Obasa (1891) and Akinsiku Leigh-Sodipe (1892). In this article we celebrate the life, times and achievements of Nigerians greatest doctors and their contributions to the sustenance of life and the growth of public health practice.

Dr. Isaac Ladipo Oluwole

Isaac Ladipo Oluwole was born in 1892 to Bishop Isaac Oluwole. Ladipo is the first Nigerian Medical Officer of Health for the Lagos Colony, recognized as the father of public health in Nigeria. He enrolled as a medical student at the University of Glasgow in 1913 and graduated in 1918. Before entering the colonial civil service on his return to Nigeria, he had established himself as a private Medical practitioner at Abeokuta. Ladipo started the first School of Hygiene in Nigeria, at Yaba in Lagos, in 1920.
With the outbreak of bubonic plague in 1924, Ladipo revamped port health Duties and made sanitary inspection a vital instrument for the control of communicable diseases using entirely the Nigerian sanitary inspectors. The first school health services in Nigeria started the following year. Ladipo is remembered for pioneering school healthy services with school inspections and the vaccination of children. He died in 1953 and a street in Ikeja has subsequently been named after him. The sacrifices and exemplary conduct of Dr. Isaac Ladipo Oluwole one of the first indigenous doctors Nigeria produced earned him the title Father of Public health in Nigeria. Click Here to read More

Professor Olikoye Ransome-Kuti
Olikoye Ransome-Kuti was born in Ijebu Ode on 30 December 1927, in present-day Ogun State, Nigeria. His mother, Funmilayo Ransome-Kuti, was a prominent political campaigner and women's rights activist, and his father, Reverend Israel Oludotun Ransome-Kuti, a Protestant minister and school principal, was the first president of the Nigeria Union of Teachers. His brother Fela would grow up to be a popular musician and a founder of Afrobeat, while another brother, Beko, would become an internationally known doctor and political activist. Ransome-Kuti attended Abeokuta Grammar School, University of Ibadan and Trinity College Dublin (1948–54). He was a house physician at General Hospital, Lagos. He was senior lecturer at the University of Lagos from 1967 to 1970 and appointed Director of child health at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos and became Head of Department of Paediatrics from 1968 to 1976. He was professor of paediatrics at the College of Medicine, University of Lagos until his retirement in 1988.] He worked as senior house officer at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London, and as a locum in Hammersmith Hospital in the 1960s.
In the 1980s, he joined the government of General Ibrahim Babangida as the health minister. In 1983 along with two other Nigerians, he founded one of Nigeria's largest health focused NGOs - Society for Family Health Nigeria primarily concerned with family planning and child health services at the time. In 1986, he conveyed word of Nigeria's first AIDS case, a 14-year-old girl who had been diagnosed with HIV. He was minister until 1992, when he joined the World Health Organization as its Deputy Director-General.
He held various teaching positions, including a visiting professorship at Baltimore's Johns Hopkins University's school of hygiene and public health. He wrote extensively for medical journals and publications. He won both the Leon Bernard Foundation Prize and the Maurice Pate Award, in 1986 and in 1990 respectively.
He was a Public health pioneer and a distinguished physician. During his tenure as Nigeria’s minister of health, the ministry witnessed several structural and institutional reforms. He announced Nigeria’s first case of AIDS and was not ashamed to declare the cause of his brothers (Fela Anikolapo Kuti) death when he died of the disease. He laid the foundation and structure for the fight against HIV/AIDS in Nigeria.

Dr. Obadiah Johnson
A personification of the subtle wisdom and geniality of the Oyos of Western Nigeria, Obadiah Johnson came from a family distinguished for its ecclesiastical, linguistic and literary excellence. The fourth child in a family of seven, Obadiah was born at Hastings, Sierra Leone on 29 June 1849. His educational career which began in 1855 at the Day School in Hastings was continued in Nigeria in 1858 as a result of the transfer of his father to Ibadan. After a spell at Kudeti, Ibadan, Obadiah Johnson entered Faji Day School, Lagos, in 1864 where his brother, Nathaniel, was a school-teacher. Obadiah left Faji in 1868 and became apprenticed to a Lagos 282 Some early Nigerian doctors carpenter. After two years he returned to Sierra Leone to study at the Grammar School in Freetown from where he entered Fourah Bay College in 1877. When that college became affiliated to Durham University in 1876, two annual open scholarships were created to encourage the best students to go to Fourah Bay. Obadiah Johnson, who topped the list of the candidates in a competitive examination, went on to pass the B.A. degree in 1879.42 Johnson, like Davies, Horton and King, studied medicine at King's College, London. A student of exceptional brilliance, he brought off the remarkable feat of winning "all the prizes in science".42 He gained the M.R.C.S. and the L.S.A. in April 1884. After graduation, like Horton before him, Johnson was elected by the Council to the Associateship of King's College. He spent the next two years in Edinburgh, and returned to Lagos in 1886. Johnson spent a year in private practice in Lagos, and another as medical officer of health in Sherbo, Sierra Leone. He then returned to Lagos at the invitation of Governor Moloney, who had wanted to bring an African into the colonial medical service of Lagos. Dr. Johnson, with his glowing testimonials and many diplomas seemed the right man for the position. Johnson wrote a thesis on "West African therapeutics" in 1889 for which he was awarded the postgraduate M.D. of Edinburgh University. He described the medicine traditionally practised among West Africans "who have had no English education". Johnson wrote from his own experiences and from his first-hand knowledge of Sierra Leone and its neighbouring areas and more especially of Lagos and "Yoruba country" where he practised on his return from Europe. Medicine men were "botanists"; but how in spite of their lack of scientific education, they knew what herbs to use for particular maladies puzzled Johnson.
