What if you are abroad?

I live abroad, my elder sister is one in a million, she and her husband have built their 2 houses, she is currently supervising my 2 on going buildings in Benin, her brother in law's duplex in Lagos, our cousin's building in Akute. She has gain experience from their own buildings. She monitors everything going on on site, put the engr on his feet, accounts for every kobo spent. I couldn't have done it better by myself.
Lots of people living abroad have been victims of their own parents, siblings and other relatives back home. They collect your money, spend little on your project, embezzle the rest of use to build their own while you Labour abroad.

Somebody drew my attention to a post somewhere which shows that Dino Melaye in 42yrs old and obtained his WAEC in 1986. That means he was 12yrs old when he wrote WAEC?

Who would ever imagine mercy johnson will be this decent and dedicated in marriage. When she was single, i know most guys will judge her from a distance as a slut because of her sexy shape then go for the plain looking girls, thinking there marriage is safe.
See.mercy still very sexy and very focused in her home.. Her husband saw a diamond which most single men couldnt see , even with their eyes open.
God bless your home mercy, keep the joy in yur alive and pure
. Divorce will not come knocking on yur door, cause i believe you are wise and grounded..

I always tell pretty ladies around me, dont allow society box u into a corner , which is not yours.. Always look yur best and to hell with any guy that feels cos u r sexy and pretty, u wont be a marriage material but a sex object...Your husband will locate you , and damn what people thinks. He will see the rare goodness in you and marry you.. Cause u r worth more than a diamond in his eyes.
Embrace your looks, cos its God's gift.

Some of such untrusted girls do a lot to prove people wrong. But it's still too early to conclude, they are less than 10 yrs together. However, if she loves family life and her family with determination she can go all the way.
Divorce or separation doesn't just happen, it takes one self-centred, over-pampered, inconsiderate half among others in a pair to wreck havoc in a union.

Na wa for you oh, you want make them come beg you with she goat abi

Hahaha same with my father!
when I was a kid, we use to throw stones at all these heavy duty vehicles that convey sands and stone to building sites, so one day unfortunately to me I throw stone and hurray!! It lands on the widscreen and breaks it!!
I ran as fast as my legs can carry me and the driver gave me a hot chase! I ran right into my mother's bedroom and hide under the bed, from earshot I heard my dad discussing with the driver afterward he came straight to the bedroom, drag me out and hand me over to the driver to deal with me!!

That's proper discipline that you can't forget in a hurry. Am sure you never threw stones at lorries again after that day.

The skill/secret of manipulating their employees cannot be revealed hence the owner doesn't mentor successors after him. When he/she dies he dies with his secret of success and the company collapses.
Where are the Abiolas, Edewors, Dantatas etc?
This is my opinion, you can add yours.

See how politicians' insensitivity imposes sufferings on us road users due to this never ending road constructions even when there is a construction at all.
After years of waiting for the overdue expansion of Yakoyo, Alagbole, Akute road, residents of these areas thought their prayers have been answered when in 2013, construction of this long road began, thanks to the world bank assistance facility. But 3 yrs after, the pictures attached here are tell the story.
Rumours have it that the funds meant for this project was used to settle political rivals and for re-election campaign by the current Ogun state Gov'nor.
Hence, the project has been running at snail speed in sections of the road while other sections are abandoned.
A commute From Ojodu-Berger to Akute which should take 20-25mins, now takes an hour, body takes the bumping, your cars go wheeeen.
When I visited and spent my holiday with relatives last year, I posted pictures from same places. I am here again the area the situation has not changed.

omooba969:
There are wives who never learn nor listen. To even say sorry when the are wrong(that's if they even admit without arguing) is another ball game entirely.

Anytime you correct them, they feel you are attacking them so they get on the offensive even if the matter is not serious.

These ones are the insensitive type, inconsiderate & non-proactive.

All the ladies comments so far are wistful thinking until their brothers marry the type you described here, then they will see the devil in some of their folks and such wives put some God-fear husbands through.

This man campaign has no substance only to lie, criticize Oshio, that's is not campaign manifesto but a sign of desperation.

PiccoloBrunelli:
I like that part were they didn't tell us how long the project will last. Well played Federal Government, well played.

And how about you standardize the already existing universities before building new ones. Quality before quantity. Who empty university epp?

And how about you standardize the already existing universities before building new ones. Quality before quantity. Who empty university epp?

My exact thoughts

cktheluckyman:
ABUJA—THE Federal Government yesterday described the Fulanis who engage in cattle rearing across the country as very peaceful people who move around with the families in search of water and grasses for their cattle.

The government also said that those involved in clashes with farmers, killings and destruction of property were not Fulanis, but another gang of Boko Haram.

According to the government, the persons who have so far been arrested cannot speak any Fulani or Nigeria language.


It added that those tagged suspected Fulani were foreign terrorists from other countries.

Speaking yesterday during the Public Hearing on perennial clashes between herdsmen and farmers organized by the Senate Joint Committees on Agriculture and Rural Development and National Security and Intelligence, Minister of State, Agriculture and Rural Development, Heineken Lokpobiri, said perennial conflict was a national and regional security.

He said the problem faced by herdsmen was also faced in Cote d’Ivoire, stressing that the problem was not limited to Nigeria.

He said: “Available statistics to us in government show that contrary to media report that these violent herdsmen are the conventional Nigerian Fulanis, they are not, as none of those apprehended was able to speak any of the Nigerian languages.

‘’This gives strong credence to the possibility of the violent herdsmen to be another form of terrorists in the mode of Boko Haram.

“The problem is not Nigeria, but regional, more so, when the Nigerian Fulani man has always been known to be a peace loving person.”

Also at the public hearing, there was sharp disagreement between the farmers and herdsmen on grazing routes.

Fulani herdsmen, under the aegis of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders Association of Nigeria, MACBAN, rejected the setting up of ranches and supported the establishment of grazing reserves and called on the government to create Ministry for Livestock Development.

In a 24-page presentation by the Association’s National Legal Adviser, Mohammed Bello Tukur, Miyetti Allah Cattle said: “The Federal Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should work with the ‘Ministries of Water Resources, Environment, National Planning, Foreign Affairs, state governments, farmer organizations, and community leaders to demarcate routes and cattle resting points with support from technical and financial partners.

http://www.vanguardngr.com/2016/05/herdsmenfarmers-clash-involved-not-fulanis-boko-haram-foreign-insurgents-fg/

This is absolute truth, as someone who grew up farming Edo state, fulanis lead their cattles along the road to grass by roadside, they don't allow their cattles to enter roadside farms or eat crops, they beat the cattles and speak to them in their language.
When suddenly peaceful cattle rearers begin to get violent, I knew it's not them but hired men from poverty ridden countries like Niger, Chad etc.
These guys have nothing to lose hence even they do anything.

This activities have been on in parts of Edo state for some years now and it didn't come to national lime light.
I am aware that some few years ago, some bini villagers were killed by the "herdsmen". The community mobilized and retaliated killing several of them and tens of cows. But nobody acknowledged the "missing" herdsmen which proves that they don't belong here.
The other culprits we should address are those who employed these devil's to herdsmen probably because they accept less pay than the conventional Fulanis that we have always known.
I AGREE THAT THESE ARE NOT NIGERIANS BUT FOREIGNERS. BUT DID IT JUST OCCUR TO OUR SECURITY AGENTS?

This guy only worked as a medical officer in UK for only one year1988-89.Before returning to Nig in "90 to join SGB and crashed the company. So, where did earn his ",extremely rich" wealth from?
make them begin prepare him room for kuje abi Oko prison...Sarathief is goner

The lady is also proud that the guy became an assert to their country rather than a liability...

VivianUdeogu:
I just love Fayose. How I wish Fayose can rule us in Igboland. Fayose is greater than all the Governors in Igboland. Fayose is greater than Governor Willie Obiano. Fayose is greater than Ojukwu

The FAYOSE CURSE that have befallen the people of Ekiti state with all their Professors will NOT befall Nigeria again.

This just confirmed that, PDP as a party had no policy on governance they were only in to share the money.
While it's quite true that Obasanjo made some careless political blunders, which if he had been wise enough to avoid he would have become the father of a new democratic Nigeria.
He did actually made some significant changes especially about civil service corruption by the monetization policy. But Yar' Adua wasted that policy, though he ensured that unspent budgetary allocations were returned to govt coffer but Jonathan gave all that back to civil servants.
Obasanjo paid all our external debt, giving room for our budgets to be spent on development instead debt servicing.
Jonathan, after doing Father Christmas with our revenues he took us back debt market to enslave to the European neo-colonialists.
Obasanjo's policies could have been improved on and bettered by his successors, Yar' Adua's death and Obasanjo's miscalculations of giving a weak ambitionless Jonathan as his deputy instead of a strong intelligent charismatic and sound minded Donald Duke, ruined everything thing and threw Nig back to post- democracy pains and retrogression.

Wagasigiungu:
I beg to disagree with you sir. While I can't completely rule out the possibility of such so called "voodoo" recruitment, I believe the probability of it being as pervasive as the status quo, is low. You ask why? Simply because the various cadres of healthcare professionals viz medical doctors, medical lab scientists, dental doctors, pharmacists, nurses, optometrists, etc are still grossly insufficient (though this is fast changing with the ways some institutions are churning out graduates of this professions) compared to other professional and non-professional courses.
In other words, it may be more transparent than what obtains in the current system. The teaching hospitals just refuse to employ regular residents and rely on supernumerary resident doctors and few interns, hence the general dearth of these professionals in these hospitals. Thus you find a lot of prospective resident doctors who hv already bagged the necessary pre-requisite of primaries qualifications in their chosen specialities wasting away years without getting placement, with some evn exceeding the stipulated expiration dates fr d validity

The CMDs are the bane of these healthcare institutions, their incompetence, above the law mentality, non-challance, dirty politics, mismanagement and diversion of fundsetc.

Adminisher:
What is your problem with propaganda?. You have to really examine yourselves. Why does it goad anybody when corruption is being mentioned?. This is serious psychological problem.
The greatest propaganda was from PDP . AIT and NTA. What about minesterial briefings, what of O YES, Youth empowerment propaganda, Nollywood support propaganda, what about Railway coaches being taken from track to track to deceive poor young Nigerians. What about Jonathan commissioning plants that were three years old?. APC took it for six years, PDP supporters have to take it as well. Let us stop childish anateurish thinking
Nigerians are just not sensible. Everybody behave like a child.
A mature person will keep his mouth shut about propaganda. Every politician does it and they should.

As for corruption trials, let Jonathan come forward and defend himself, let Dieziani come back to Nigeria and clear her name

some of these e.warriors are toddlers who just started to feel their environment they and think the world started with them.

On the basis of performance in office or by wuru wuru? How come these thieves don't ever factor in the fact that people will vote?
Of course, in Delta state votes don't matter result will emerge anyway.

u copied my topic

I didnt get this from NL but from another forum and i acknowledged it as "adopted". Besides, I actually never saw it on NL before I brought it in
thank you.

Plz go for NYSC 1st... were have it ever been done...u cant skip M.sc to PhD. Canadian university can neva do dat shit....plz lets have true stories here instead of lies & Imagine pple r even commenting...olodo full Nairaland oooo.

Pure ignoramus statement! Couple of years back, Some Nigerian universities, do used to offer First Class graduands opportunity to jump M.sc and move straight to Ph.D
In fact, that Unilag guy with a perfect GPA is too good to waste time doing masters. If a student is talented enough, schools motivate them to excel by offering such opportunity so that they can become lecturers also.

When girls "fall in love" with a bad boy they says, he is the best thing that happened to them. When the bad boy shows his true colour, they say he is evil(i don't know if that guy is bad sha). Girls are always courting trouble, only to cry later. They always say good boys are boring, so, who is really confused?

So, as invaluable as this post is, it didnt make Fp? No wonder somebody say make i just put snake and e go go front page. NL! which way?

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO ALL VEHICLE USERS!

Good morning everyone. Many people have been wondering what could be the cause of the incessant tyre burst accidents on Nigerian roads. The major cause is that we put to much pressure in our tyres. How did I know?

I was preparing for a journey, I changed some of my tyres and I asked the vulcanizer that ' what is the recommended tyre pressure? ' He said 50. I said alright, he should inflate it to 50 all round.

When I got to where I was going, I was discussing with some ppl on the issue of the minister that died on the road due to a burst tyre and wonder what could have happened because nobody could imagine a minister would be travelling with expired tyres as many would think is the major cause of tyre burst.

A man ( lived in US for many years ) said that the major cause of tyre burst in Nigeria is that we put to much pressure in our tyres and that each car has recommended tyre size and pressure clearly written on it by the manufacturer. I was surprised and begged him to come and show me where it's written on my car. To my greatest surprise, it's by the drivers door which I enter everyday without noticing it. By the time we checked, the recommended pressure for my tyres is 32! and I just traveled with tyres on a pressure of 50! He took me round his compound and showed me that of the cars (which includes a jeep and a sienna) there, the highest was 32. some were even 29!

He further explained that tyres are made of rubber and expands at high temperature. So, when yu are travelling in the afternoon when the asphalt on the road is hot, the tyre will want to expand. If the pressure in the tyre is to much and wouldn't accommodate the expansion, a burst is likely to happen at that time.

Pls check the recommended tyre pressure for your vehicle and others you know.

As many as possible Nigerians needs to read this.
thanks

Thanks for the positive feedback and apologies for the delay.
Per the optician, optometrist, ophthalmologist dilemma, I'd like to discuss it using the Nigerian situation because information found on the internet may not be wholly applicable to our case.
Also, I'd like to point out that the levels and extent of basic healthcare provided in a domain is set and limited by legislature. Two individuals with the same qualification in different countries may offer differing level of care. And if the act establishing these professions is amended tomorrow, this discourse becomes a history leSSON

OPTICIANRY
An optician is a professional who is trained in dispensing optics, and is capable of receiving, interpreting and supplying ophthalmic lenses ; spectacles, contact lenses and low vision aids. An optician can independently sell frames, sunglasses, artificial eyes, cosmetic contact lenses and even Oculus Rift. Dispensing optics is a two or three year programme done Diploma-style in optometry schools. Their regulatory board is the ODORBN- Optometry and dispensing optician regulatory board etc.

OPTOMETRY
An optometrist is an individual who has completed a 6yr optometry programme and awarded doctor of optometry. He is expected to complete a single year internship programme. The course has its own fellowship and post graduate schools and a newly inaugurated residency programme.
An optom as I prefer to call them is capable of handling ocular emergencies, infective cases, refraction leading to prescription of glasses and contact lenses, treats eye ailments, low vision rehab and orthoptics.
In Nigeria, refraction, LV and orthoptics are their exclusive preserve. LV and orthoptics are specialty areas, saying every optom can do them is like saying every MD can do a cardio bypass shunt surgery or neurosurgery.
I'd like to point out that the ailments treated have a limit , however this should not concern the layman as optometrist are involved in the co-managment of every case. At their set limits, they are expected to refer. Common cases referred are cataract surgery, deep penetrating/perforating corneal injury, laser trabeculoplasty, photo coagulation and ocular/orbital tumours. Optom also do dispensing optics in school, herein lies a problem that would be seen later.

OPHTHALMOLOGY
An ophthalmologist is a medical doctor that after completing his MBBS, went on to specialize in ophthalmology. From his MBBS experience, he is able to carry out surgery, though most of the special skill is learnt at the post graduate level. So, he can practice general medicine and do ocular work too. Considering the fact that he is often in a general hospital, most patients get to meet him first thus bypassing the optom. And at the limit of his powers, he refers refractive cases to the optom, and this fuels the stereotype that optom only does glasses. And economically it is more viable to employ ophthalm considering their versatility in general practice. And moreover there are just five or six optom schools in Nigeria.

GREY AREAS AND HOTSPOTS
The optician and optom have overlapping points and it breeds conflict often. Most optom send their jobs to opticians but this doesn't stop the optician from engaging in illicit behaviour such as refracting patients and giving drugs.
I ran a screening programme for a multinational a few years back, and we had men from every group on our team- we even have hype men and bouncers at times [sic] … I observed that my optician was jotting like ManUtd manager, when I got closer after a while, I saw she had written complaints and drugs given.. That's how they start. We also see lots of optom and ophthalmol that practice beyond their scope. Lots of!
Another issue is that of employment in the civil service. I don't want to discuss those issues but to appeal to all parties to act on the philosophy of mutual respect and human dignity. I hope I remained impartial throughout .

I don't know your field in eye care, but you have tried to handle this response very sensibly and professionally with some good research rather than rely on assumptions to define the three Eye related fields.kudos!
The topic can not be over-flogged as lots of Nigerians generally believe they can outsmart eye care professionals who have spent years of their lives to study to render this all sensitive care.
I'm in the eye care fields and i see these things frequently. people think that they can just get any one drop from the "chemist" whern they have what they think is a minor eye problem and its over. Many believe its the eye professionals will charge lots of many for "simple" eye problems. eventually it becomes "penny wise, pounds foolish" because what they could have spent N5000 to fix in time will end up costing tens of thousands later due to "smart" choices.

walexsy:
This thread is just so God-sent to me....I've been having this eye pain as a result of domestic violence since Wednesday... I dare not look at any object closely,a sharp light sensitivity, I even had to reduce my phone's backlight to it's minimum level and most worrying of all,the eye that got hit is seeing things blurry... I started using an eye drop(Gentalab/Gentamicin)I avnt really seen any difference except the reddened eye looks a bit whiter...doctors in the house pls come to my aid...should I continue with the eye drop or not... if no,I won't mind a prescription here...

I went to an hospital(federal one)just this morning to complain only to be reminded its a public holiday....

The fact that you were involved in a domestic violence incident and the eye pain with focusing and light sensitivity, indicates that you have been hit in the eye with a strong likelihood of anterior chamber hemorrhage. the blood from the hemorrhage will act as glue to append the crystalline lens and or iris with the cornea. this condition is emergency that needs timely assessment and treatment with properly in 48-72hrs, it can get complicated when the blood clots and surgery will be inevitable. So, an Ophthalmologist or Optometrist can help you out, if you delay ophthalmologist will have to perform surgery to limit the damage. since, FMC is on holiday, look for a private eye clinic with an Optometrist, NOT an OPTICIAN.

Different agencies are set up for different functions and this agency is thinking its duties.
some of you are frustrated that you can't even think straight other than to criticize everything and everybody.
