Not many believes in this man. Am sure it is partly because of those around him and his inability to clearly define his election manifesto. I have never seen such display of uninspired confidence at an incoming governor. I hope he disappoints all naysayers for Edo people's sake. I doubt that though.

MALLEOLUS2017:
And you think people like me care what people think about Catholics Would absence of Ave Maria comment change their thinking towards Catholics? Stop quoting me to yarn trash.

Be calming down. No be fight. Na just my opinion....No need for your aggressive response.

ojesymsym:
Now this is worrying, the national grid operates at 330KV, to put it in perspective, the three wires entering most transformers are 11KV, even that one will fry you up if you touch it so how then do people have the mind to go and vandalize 330,000V (330KV).

In electrical engineering, High Voltage is often only done by experts so for so called vandals to have the expertise to be able to successfully vandalize it leaves a lot to worry about.

Yes. You made a valid point. That's why I suspect they work in collaboration with some people in TCN. That's my candid belief.

In front page twice. But how can people be so bold to tamper with such high transmission line. I suspect someone in control room will inform them that there is no power transmission on that line before they start Vandalization. That's the only way I suspect these people can operate successfully otherwise they turn to burnt offering when that line is energised and they do this.

MALLEOLUS2017:
I'm a proud Catholic.
Ave !!!
Maria !!!

You left the trinity and mentioned a woman that was blessed amongst women..... A mortar like you to show you are a proud Catholic. This is why People believe that Catholics gives too much reference to Mary. Some even say Catholics worship Mary. It is comments like this that butresss such belief. Sacred heart of Mary people.

TheChameleon:
If you're in any other state but Edo... do CNG

Please enlighten me. What is wrong with CNG in Edo state?

So what? So if black people are not qualified to be on her cabinet.she should force them in just because they are black? This is a major reason Nigeria is where she is. Nepotism and sacrifice of excellence on the basis of who know you. UK uses merit for placement and that is a reason she is doing so well. We should learn to put round peg in round hole irrespective of personality.

ednut1:
Nawa. But lets be honest here if a Nigerian with South Africa origin was found to have used fake documents to get Nigerian citizenship. Same treatment would be meted on her.

So you actually believed their one sided submission? Does it not bother you that up until she decided to contest for miss South Africa, None of these came up? The moment they knew she had Nigerian root trying to become miss South African .. their only goal was to bring her down by all means.
Let's even assume her mother was guilty, why would an innocent baby at the time be made to suffer for something she knows nothing about even to the extent they have done and still doing?

I wonder how some people will fall for this kind of things. Maybe there is something I am not understanding

Shame no dey catch na?. Just see the rubbish excuse that a special adviser is giving. It is advisers like this that is derailingTinubu presidency. What a bulaba situation Nigeria is in!

Dreambeat:
Tactical ineptitude, the bane of nigerian age group teams. Poorly coached as usual spiced up with favouritism and nepotism as usual.

You are so right. No game plan. The USA team would have been suprised how easily they won this. The girls are limited tactically and too many individual errors in decision making. Very disappointing match not because they lost but because they did not even put up a proper fight.

Shame on nairaland. The country is playing..it is not on the front page but Barca and Man city and other leagues are always in the front page. So much for patriotism. Charity should start at home.

A country as big as Nigeria should not be relying on national grid for distribution to every state. Power stations should be decentralised such that each state can be independent of the other

BABANGBALI:
so I no fit come your house as a fellow Nigerian to come chop Nigerian food and even stay behind for weekend?

No...we meet in the cafe where naija food are sold. Except we go way back or you are family.

Thiefobi1:
Not far from the truth.

Especially some Nigerians and Ghanian in the UK very evil minded people.

Attend a church in UK as a Nigerians you will be amaze Nigerians members will wait for u after service to spy on you.

Reason is they want to know the type of car u came with to the church, so they would know maybe to mingle with u or not.

If u are residence in UK and want to stay out of trouble avoid both citizens (Nigerians and Ghanaian).

You are so right on this. I gave one Nigerian friend a personal reference in a job he applied for. The guy went and told his would be employers that I was his former supervisor in my workplace and that we have worked together for over 8 months. Someone living in another county and have never stepped leg in my workplace.
Long story short. I was queried in my workplace when his would be employer wrote to verify his claim. I had to explain my side of the story. The company investigated and somehow found me not guilty. The guy refused to pick my call and even respond to my messages. Since then I avoid association with Nigerians apart from the usual hello and hi.

naijaboy756:
These mamas na under 17

You people will always talk for the sake of it. Looking at these girls , what makes almost all of them different from the average 17 years old you see around you? One of them is even 14 years. Harmony chidi, peace effiong can easily pass for primary school pupils. Onyedikachi ekezie might be over 17 but I also know that some people appears to mature more than their age.
Move with the tide bro, age grade cheating has reduced drastically because of Some measures like the MRI scan.

If a stick was standing as New Zealand's goalie, it would have performed better than the goalkeeper

Apparently...you did not watch the game.

Is that not 1k credit alert?

Rather than facing issues to improve living standard in their states, Effc and icpc is their problem.
Agreed that these agencies are not effective but for the governors to go against them, it probably means they are scared due to their financial recklessness. They wants to go about their nefarious activities without fear of been summoned especially after leaving office.
These people are only after whatever favours them...it is never about the masses.

nairalanda1:
We got a lot to do about healthcare in nigeria. But negligence in nigeria is not why our healthcare is bad. Poor funding, poorly trained staff, etc etc.

But anyway, all you want to do is mock those who think different from you.

Don't get me wrong. Am not mocking you. I was only trying to point out the difference. The one in UK happened due to misdiagnosis because of the similarities in symptoms present while the Nigerian case was just negligence of treatment due to I don't care nature.

Look at it this way....the likelihood of death occuring in the Nigerian case if it had happened in a UK hospital is very low but the UK case will fool most doctors given the same conditions.
It is not to say we don't have good doctors in Nigeria. It is just the difference in circumstances and complexity am trying to point out.
I made mention of your profile because of the kind of "ways of winning argument in nairaland" topic you have created. It gives you off as one who is ready to argue endlessly.

nairalanda1:
So? They could have moved her to another hospital, or examined in more detail at point of first contact.

Oga, healthcare in NIgeria is bad, but that does not mean that negligence is a sign of how bad it is.

I just went through your profile.

Enjoy your day.

nairalanda1:
In this case it was obvious the girl had pneumonia. She was in severe pain, yet some hospital staff accused her of faking the pain. By the time the pneumonia went to sepsis it was too too late.

So, you were saying?

Please read the full story [url]https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/09/15/girl-died-sepsis-after-being-sent-home-by-gp-hospital/#:~:text=An%20eight%2Dyear%2Dold%20girl,symptoms%20of%20Group%20A%20Strep.[/url] except you are talking about a different one. The signs were acknowledged as a current viral symptom. They had no space in the hospital (am sure you know about the NHS issues) so they asked her to go home due to lack of hospital space for what they consider trivial illness due to symptoms almost like Group A Strep, A prevalent illness at the time and easily treatable by taking lots of fluids and ibuprofen. If they had space free, they would have kept her in the hospital and would have treated her when signs of sepsis started showing.
My point is that this case is different from the gross and plain negligence shown in this Nigerian Case.

nairalanda1:
Recently in the united kingdom, a girl died of sepsis. Problem... negligence

It happens in every country. Not just Nigeria.

It was different. Sepsis can be misdiagnosed by even the best doctors. There are no obvious symptoms sometimes until it is too late.

The hole was too wide. Should have been thin enough to allow slotting money through.

TriCee:
Lol, “The then Chairman of AKISIEC, Gloria Ukpong, had told me stakeholders would accept the results. I said she should declare for the opposition, and the ANPP won the Championship position in Ini LGA and other councilorship positions,” he recalled.

I do not really understand how Apkabio talks nonsense all the time. He flew into his own state and asked the AKISIEC chairman to pity the opposition and declare one LG for them? This man will just implicate himself very soon.
Probably, he set the standard for declaring one LG for the opposition and he is now fuming.

When I read that..I was like what did I just read? Is hard to believe!! So he has power to declare and undeclared? If Nigeria is a serious country with working institutions where anyone can be investigated, that statement alone will put him in jail. I have never experienced a mindless talker of a senate president like him. To think that he is our No 3 citizen!!!!!

Fuming time

This one wants to show the world he is still the deputy. The people's interest is never their motivation. Notice me people.

Confirmedzombie:
There will be no election until Wike gives a go ahead.

Only wike can authorise the election. Nobody born of a woman can authorise the LGA election except Wike.

It's simple

Your name says it all.

To release voters register alone now warrants court order! It is shameful how courts allow themselves to be used as agents of destabilization.
To understand Nigeria and her diverse problems, you have to be super human. Too many unnecessary power tussle everywhere. Power that you will die and leave.

If I was a relative to the slain officer and I have it on good records that he actually killed my brother. Then he will pay the hard way. . nonsense!!
