TAKE YOUR TIME TO STUDY THE RECENT STATS WE'VE

CITIES FEATURED ON THIS LIST.

THE TOP TEN MOST POPULOUS CITIES IN NIGERIA 2015
1] LAGOS
Lagos has been the most populated city in Nigeria for a
longtime, in the 2006 population census lagos had 7,682,953
but now The population of Lagos according to the Lagos
State Government was 17.5 million, a number disputed by
the Nigerian Government and judged unreliable by the
National Population Commission of Nigeria. The latest
reports estimate the population at 21,642,797, making
Lagos the largest city in Africa. Officially lagos is known to
be the second fastest-growing city in Africa and the seventh
in the world.

of Nigeria At the 2006 census, the city of Abuja had a
population of 776,298, making it one of the ten most
populous cities in Nigeria. Abuja has witnessed a huge
influx of people into the city; the growth has led to the

to which the planned city is sprawling according to recent
reports and estimates Abuja population is 3,000,000.

TMTN's RECENT RESEARCH.

jeudd:
1) Davido: The OBO should just give up singing because although he has some hit songs of recent,the artist should just give up singing while he still has a name and go into a job that seems more lucrative in the long run , it could be as a manager of a better artist maybe then his 'igbo' stained vocals may do him some good.
2) Lynxx : You just can not hate on the big guy, but what makes us very sad is seeing him waste his time and money on singing instead of following the suggested steps of our brother davido and quit singing and start modelling cuz he has a great body .
3) Emma Nyra : the empire first lady should just quit singing and go be someones side chick or babe or mistress or fun buddy or wife cuz to me she is talentless and thats all on Emma.
4) Jesse jaggz : Not only has it been ages since has had a hit song so uncle jaggz just grow your dada and take to the streets and create a name for yourself as the official distributor of weed to the real celebs
5) Tonto dikeh : this woman should just go and quit singing and dump that stupid ass name 'pokolee' abi what is the name ? She should better continue acting before we attack her acting carrer .
And before una attack me make una rememba say errybody get opinion...thanks

sinizia:
OP, there are no specific right lexicons to wow a lady with. Guys get ladies using different methods. Some woo them directly with whatever words they can cook up. Some use their money to get 'em ladies. Some use their good looks to get a lady tripping. Some don't even woo them, they just become friends with them and as time goes on, opens up to the lady about their feelings and the lady will say yes.

I think you're the shy type, who feels more confident on chats rather than verbal wooing. What I'll advice you to do is, when you see that lady you love or like, try to be just friends with her (though you harbor romantic feelings towards her) first. Once you have done that, chat her up on friendly levels, don't bring up romantic talks immediately. Be there for her. Care for her. Spend time with her. Show her you care, be her listening ear. Let your action speak for you before you actually open up to her about your feelings. Let her judge your actions. Action speaks louder than words. Don't take this course for too long lest you get friendzoned. At the end of a certain period, let's say a month or 3 weeks, start embedding little love words in your chats to her (this is discreetly telling her you have feelings towards her). Start involving romantic gestures in your acts, like being the last person to call her before she sleeps (and letting her know you wanted to be the person) and the first to hear her voice in the morning immediately she woke up. The little acts can confidently melt her heart and change her dispositions towards you. It's these little things that matters sometimes and we neglect them. This procedure don't work all the time, but it sure works. Being friends with a girl you admire is one good way to her heart. You'd be surprised how things will pan out at the end, than just seeing the girl and straight up wooing her.

phrenoz:
and u think marriage is d greatest achievement in the world?...
N.B:-its a rhetorical question.

Dubemkelly:
Calm down egbon, ur blood too dey hot, different strokes for different folk, he likes younger girls doesnt mean he likes them underaged...Facing reality, the norm is a guy dating a girl of same age or younger, its rare when a young guy dates an older girl/lady, bottomline is preference and maturity

Chidonc:
U no tell us say u b senator yerima broda, team under 14, u most b a paedophile

Horlertoungy:
I've done that at least up to 3 times; reasons are 1. The first one was not my taste cos I can't date a lady who is fatter than my mum, I turned down the second one due to age brackets, the girl is older than I am and I can't marry my elder sister's mate. The other one was turned down due to religious differences, she's a chronic SU xtian that cannot convert to any other faith again and am a practicing Muslim.

Tobiustobius:
My god. This entire article is bollocks. And this Codedguy defending it, how are we sure he's not the quack in question?

It's so obvious this guy hasn't been to any medical school. Which "tertiary medical institution" did he "roll into" thatt licensed him to become a gynecologist? I doubt he has written JAMB, if he refers to "Medicine and Surgery" as "Medicine and surgeon". The bragging about his SUV is icing on the crap cake.

The level of ignorance in our country is really outstanding.

njeph:
Tertiary medical institution? Please i need the name of that institution to ''roll'' into and if he's already a licenced medical practitioner, consultant gynaecologist and medical adviser why will he still need to ''roll'' into university of Calabar to study medicine and surgEON?

armadeo:
@ coderock and funfreak both of you have displayed an amazing level of ignorance on this thread. there is actually no point in trying to correct you. i believe that you must be at least 18yrs of age and if at that age you cannot tell something is fundamentally wrong with the entire issue of this miracle Dr then you are beyond help.

hahn:
Lol. All these guys above me need to chill. Becoming a gynaecologist is pretty easy afterall, all he needs to do is stick his hand, tongue and Joystick in his patients punny.

Gifted hands indeed. Wetin we go come call Ben Carson?

Nigerians have been displaying high levels of ignorance and mediocrity before God said "let there be light". Especially Nigerian women.

Op, abeg what are the "medications" he claimed he gave his patients that no other qualified doctor could give. Its apparent that you guys are confusing his abnormal sexual urge with being gifted. Hahaha. I love the "rolling into tetiary institiution" part though

This has to be the silliest thread EVER created on nairaland after GEJ said "stealing is corruption" and Buhari couldn't find his certificate

Renylee:
And to the people who r supporting this fellow, will you allow him to treat u or your spouse or family members C'mon, we complain about QUALIFIED practitioners how much more this guy that doesn't even know the brachial plexus.

elobyobi:
Please let's not just stop at lamenting about the health system and calling him a charlatan, from afar. WHO KNOWS HOW TO ARREST HIS ASSSS!!!

alutacontinua:
How worse will things get?
I cannot even believe this

zeezahbee:
He said he has been performing miracle since 2011. He was 17/18. Regardless of his age or woreva. he can't do such in USA . It's only in Nigeria , you guys condone such. That's why the healthcare is in a scattered state

zeezahbee:
Where in USA are 18 years old doing much more than him ? That's incorrect . The earliest you can Graduate from high school here is 16years. He can't even touch a tablet if he's in the USA.

elobyobi:
You really believe that this guy possesses an MBBS degree from a Nigerian university, and a license to practice Medicine from the Medical and Dental Association of Nigeria? Any body can OWN a hospital, by the way. It's being done in Lagos and Onitsha and it's actually the privatisation of health facilities people have been clamouring for. As long as it is being managed by a doctor (which is what he said he was doing in 2011, before he decided he wanted to do what the doctor was doing and probably cut costs). Hospitals are afterall, businesses.
If you believe that my concern that an unlicensed kid is practising Medicine unchallenged, is negativity, then there is truly no hope.

Ademosh:
This is a total rubbish....a gynecologist,no way
This guy and his supporters should be arrested and prosecuted.
For you to be a gynecologist you need to spend 6yrs in Med.School and at least 6yrs in Postgraduate school...dats 12 yrs already....
Nigerians are the most deceived and ignorant people of all times..
Naija I hail ..
My advice pls dont patronize this quack...GOD BLESS NIGERIA

SO WHAT ABOUT YOUR EDUCATIONAL BACKGROUND?
I finished my primary and secondary school early, though
hardly to believe, but they called it gifted hands, my waec
both science and art was distinction and few credit, i rolled
into a tertiary health institution, but having plans to further
more at university of calabar for medicine and surgeon
soon.

elobyobi:
Wow. The two posters above, praising somebody who is practising medicine without a license, who is probably harming more people than he "miraculously" helps, who is preying on the ignorance of Nigerian patients with such impunity, and even getting financial gains and awards (definitely not from any recognised professional body), you two make me weep for Nigeria. And can I just say, in my experience, a "gynaecology specialist" with only WASSC as a qualification, loosely translates as an abortionist, quote me if you like.
Well, I don't blame him. I blame the failed government who have refused to pay attention to the health sector. I blame the health professionals (NMA, JOHESU, all of them) for letting greed lead them to neglect their patients ever so often, thus driving them to these charlatans. Lastly, I blame the patients and their families, gullible to the point of placing your life in the hands of a 21 year old semi-illiterate, when even 50 year old professors make mistakes with their decades of experience.
If this were a country where things worked, a squad of health authorities and armed forces would be raiding this guy's office right away.
If things are this bad with a PhD holder in power, I'm scared to imagine what will happen under "The Other Guy".

i was about 18 to 19 years, then
managed by a medical doctor because the law was not in
support of that due to our constitution said that my age is
too tender to own such an institution. unless i reach the age
of 20yrs

Seun:
The brutal and unnecessary killing of northern leaders by those evil young soldiers was directly responsible for the killing of Igbos in the north.
