The problem with expunging it is that it makes only native Americans and by no fault of theirs, blacks the true citizens of America. |
The fans and the media would continue to goad them and the results would continue to be against them. |

FarahAideed:I heard Tinubu demolished the house you grew up in due to inadequate planning permission. |
Danwakae:Shut up. Can you or anybody in your family be a better administrator than Amaechi? |
Finish them |
Wiseandtrue:Maybe the VP should be doing all the work himself. |
Ajuri deserves it. |
Until someone else is given the Ekweremadu new yam reception you would not be happy. |
But if they had slapped her like Ekweremadu at a new yam festival it would be ok right? |
Blizzy9ja:Abba Moro was most competent he left 32 young Nigerians dead. And that was just at recruitment. |
So they live underground. |

Nigeria has gone three years without a case of polio, putting it on the brink of being declared free of the disease. This is a dramatic change from 2012 when the country accounted for more than half of all polio cases worldwide, the World Health Organization has said . The head of the primary health care agency, Dr Faisal Shuaib, said Nigeria had reached a "historic milestone". But it will be several months before the country can officially be labelled polio-free. The first criteria, no case for three years, has been achieved. But now the WHO needs to make sure there is a robust surveillance system in Nigeria to be certain that there are no further cases of the wild polio virus, chairman of Nigeria's polio committee, Dr Tunji Funsho, told BBC Newsday. Nigeria is the last country in Africa to have witnessed a case of polio - in Borno state, in the north-east. Outside of Nigeria, the last case on the continent was in the Puntland region of Somalia, in 2014. Insecurity in the north-east of Nigeria had hindered the polio vaccination programme, but success in fighting the Boko Haram militant group has been cited as one of the reasons behind getting polio under control. In addition, officials have said that political support and an injection of funds have also helped. In 2018, there was a total of 33 polio cases confined to just two countries: Afghanistan and Pakistan. line An achievement for Africa Anne Soy, BBC News, Nairobi This is not just a milestone for Nigeria but also for the rest of Africa. The newly re-appointed WHO Africa head Dr Matshidiso Moeti said the continent is "on the verge of an extraordinary public health achievement; one which will be our legacy to our children and children's children". But health experts urge caution. They must first be sure that every part of the continent has been reached and no cases have been missed. For now, there are renewed calls to vaccinate children against polio. It has taken the effort of thousands of volunteers who have risked their lives in some instances to deliver the much-needed vaccines to all parts of the continent. But "to end polio, at least 95% of children must be vaccinated, no matter where they live," says WHO head of polio eradication Michel Zaffran. line What is polio? Polio, or poliomyelitis, mainly affects children aged under five It is a highly infectious disease caused by a virus. It invades the nervous system and can cause total paralysis in a matter of hours Initial symptoms include fever, fatigue, headache, vomiting, stiffness of the neck and pains in the limbs One in 200 infections leads to irreversible paralysis. Among those paralysed, 5% to 10% die when their breathing muscles become immobilised Today, only two countries - Afghanistan and Pakistan - remain polio-endemic, down from more than 125 in 1988 Source: World Health Organization https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-49426886 |

See how some Nigerians are angry about it.

That property is massive. I guess these politicians depend solely on politics for their existence. |
Cletus77:Since when? Abeg go and sit down. Even now it is evident you are trying to claim this cornerstone which was earlier rejected. |
Cletus77:Mtcheew. Is it not Akwa Ibom again? Watch how they would start hailing him again. |
Cletus77:When did he stop? As I said, success has many fathers. |
![]() Sani the philosopher. |
Cletus77:Gerrout. Politicians in Nigeria have used even more offensive words yet you voted them. Didn't Mama "Peace" call others born throwaway? Did that stop you from casting your vote for PDP? |
Cletus77:Of a sudden you've found a reason to visit him. I'm sure if I look back to your old contributions you've probably been throwing vitriol at him. Success has many fathers. |
Cletus77:Gerrout. You cannot stop me from contributing on any thread on Nairaland. Can you imagine this thing suggesting Akpabio tried to lord himself whilst trying to do the same to me? |
FarahAideed:My point exactly. |
