I know you are not trying to shift the narrative. You are only practicing the standard Nigerian playbook of stupidity: Your evil justifies and rationalizes my evil.

The tragedy is that Nigerians hardly ever mobilize cultural alibis to defend what is good.

Mention any social or political or economic malaise, they will rootle the archives to find that it also happens elsewhere which, in their fevered brains, justifies, explains, rationalizes and cancels out the current issue.

Mention genocide and this category of foolish and irredeemable Nigerians will tell you that Hitler also did it.

You mention a particular politician who has just stolen, the idiotic Nigerian rushes out with : why haven't you mentioned this other one? Just like what this foolish poster just did.

How tha fvck can we ever progress with this fvcking mindsets?

Wike, Fayose and most of their supporters have proved to be barbarians. They kill and maim in the name of election, yet they blame the president who has proved over and over again to be neutral in the elections conducted so far.

I blame PMB for going too soft on the two animals called Wike and Fayose. This is where I like OBJ.

Though I understand that Buhari doesn't want to be accused wrongly of meddling in affairs of states especially the two states being ruled by commedians, but the president needs to wield the big stick on these two Buffoons very early before they become monsters that cannot be tamed.

Bunch of thugs.

How much were u paid by the Binis for this write up? Of a truth the Benin empire is the most respected in Nigeria but am still wondering why Benin-city has refused to progress since the fall of Ovoramwen nogbatin. In todays world I doubt if Bini people can defeat other Nigerian minorities like themselves in an ethnic conflict.

when did torch lights and phone lights become drugs or therapy?

rather say you consult with torch lights , shikenah!

Back to the matter.
Thunder go fire anybody wey chop money meant for the betterment of patients.
Which 19million are u spending every month?

FG budgets 16M for fueling for a 24hr stable electricity monthly. Meanwhile you don't power your generators for 24 hrs.
IBEDC still supply electricity once a while, and the generators don't run at these times.

The main generator and most others are down at the moment due to lack of servicing. True or False?
You mean you spend the whole 16m every month? Haba.

It will cost just 40M to link up with Ganmo's 33Kv substation.
Why not do that?

EFCC and GOD is watching.

In 2013, OAUTH's budget was $11 MILLION. In the same period , the budget for Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston was $750 billion.

In my opinion, the problem is that it is very difficult to adequately fund healthcare in Nigeria. A hospital in Nigeria cannot fund itself adequately from hospital fees, government funding is falling because Government has too many hospitals to fund. and there is the corruption.

Recently, State House hospital got more money than an average government run teaching hospital. While it was wrong....even if State House clinic had been funded at an amount less than that of the government hospital...it won;t be enough.

The only solution is to raise hospital fees, raise taxes to fund the hospitals better, and make the hospital public private. Oil prices have fallen, and even then, funding was still difficult.

Modified: Cost of an incubator:900-1800us dollars

Cost of twenty incubators: 18,000- 36000 us dollars

Cost in naira: 7.2MILLION naira.(http://www.alibaba.com/showroom/baby-incubator-price.html)

20 Incubators for N7.2m is not costly for that rate every govt hospital should have enough but the funny thing is that corruption is the reason there are not of these equipment.
If you see how ministry of Health officials fight dirty over the contracts for these things you will upset. Lagos state has been investing in Health care steadily in the last 16 yrs but the ministry is the bane.
A friend of mine who is a dealer in medical equipment confided in me how his proposal to supply equipment to the ministry of health in Lagos, caused fighting among them.
The commissioner has his clique in the ministry who fronts him, some rival DGs have their own.
Firstly, He was asked to take his proposal back and inflate the cost of his equipment on his own letter heading, to include their own share when he gets paid for the supply. that clique started to hide the proposal from the other clique so that those guys won't have access to or high-jack the contract. For that reason, the proposal was delayed as the clique in possession had to find a way to get it to the guvnor for approval with the rival clique knowing.
Another instance a friend who was the only non MD in Fashola's health care advisory committee, advised the guvnor to set up more eye care units in the state's primary health centres and equip these units for eye care. Fashola requested him to recommend equipment for these Eye care units which he did in a proposal and it was approved.
When the "equipment" were supplied he went to inspect so he could report to the guvnor, he found out that they had bought refurbished used equipment and not even the specification he recommended. He wrote a memo to the ministry objecting the what he saw and sent the memo to the commissioner through his. After a while Fashola requested for his report of inspection on the equipment that was supplied, he discovered that it was what was approved and summoned the commission and health advisors, they became furious with the guy for not letting them see his report before the guvnor saw it.
it was then then that he told them he had sent the report to the commissioners office months earlier but he never got a response, he had to show them his copy of signed receipt of the original sent to the commissioner's office that what exonerated him but he became the enemy of the MDs who make the most members of the committee, for exposing their deeds.
This is just 1 or 2 of such dealings by people who in the open pretend to be doing what they are supposed to be doing in public interest. In Federal and state ministries these things are used in budgets to rake money from govt but they are never bought or at best substandard ones are bought at inflated prices, in a very short time of use these equipment falls apart.

Jesu Christi Jehovah nissi.... Wat kind of evil eye drop os this.... Dey shld sue the company.... This is so sad. Ahhh God.... If i was in her shoes il make ma peace and beg doctors n family to end my suffering.

psucc:
I have a thought.

How comes that all the investigations carried out only carry the names of those left in PDP even when it is obvious that most of the 'saints' in APC made a last minute crossover.

adorablepepple:
the way osho is different is just like the difference between him and iara.



He's just too ugly Abeg n Physically challenged with that his look.

kITATITA:
Nonsense writeup. Didn't Jonathan travel when Yaradua was in the hospital in Saudi Arabia. Did David Mark take over? The office of the President is not territorial. When the President travels on official trips, he continues to carry on with State activities. It is only when sick and unable to perform the official duties that an Acting President becomes necessary.

How can a people be so wicked? Sometimes I can't just get it, what's their hearts made of?

Teespice:
I understand your sentiments bro.

ps- I am a female not a bro.

Teespice:
not true.

the person is expected to always be present in court for his hearing and trial.

if he misses a court sitting without cogent excuse, his bail will be revoked and a bench warrant will be issued for his arrest.

you guys often mistake bail for acquittal which is not meant to be.

LEGALAide:
I once went to a church and to my surprise, members were holding their tithes up in the air!
I realized that why they pay their tithes isn't because they love God, but because they can't stand seeing that other Lady or guy giving their tithes without giving theirs.
It'll be a thing of shame.
And that's the only reason they tithe.
This same person won't understand it when I tell him to give 10% or more of his salary to a beggar!
Never.
I wish to stop here.
Need not say more.

But can't talk abi So that they don't get fired!!

That MD friend of yours too ought to have reported such practices to the relevant authorities to atleast safe the excess flow of cash to wrong destination and also to allow that position to be vacant, so that another MD in need of job can fill that space.

pabloid:
The CMDs of teaching hospitals are smarter than you guys. If you pay i will let you in how they mask their ghosts workers in collaboration with banks

Pidggin:
Buhari should just tell us that this fight against corruption is really a fight against PDP and nothing else.

EFCC has become a caricature, laughable, govt agency.
