@ dominique, I’ve noticed you’ve been active on your thread throughout the week, including today, but our requests to have the title of our thread amended seem to have been overlooked. Is there a particular reason for this? Several monikers have tagged you asking for the change, but there hasn’t been a response. As a Mod, shouldn’t responsibilities to the forum come before club affiliations? Or is there something else preventing the title update?
Na here dem go see you. See how you take dey hustle for OF contacts. I hope you no get plans to squander madam’s money on OF? Make I go report you first before you start giving madam stories.
Yar’Adua spent just three years in office, and since his demise, we’ve had eight years of remote governance from Buhari and are now set for another eight under Tinubu. Instead of allocating funds to that empty clinic, wouldn’t it make more sense to spend the money on something else?
Patience wasn’t the president, and if I remember correctly, Yar’Adua wasn’t flying abroad every month for medical treatment like Buhari and Tinubu, so my point still stands.
Nigerian politicians will never learn. I’m sure that if the government had invested in our healthcare system, someone like Ekweremadu wouldn’t be in jail today. Since the APC came into power, Nigeria has been the only country in the world whose president is publicly known to receive medical treatment abroad.
Ibime: The way I see it, any primary care setting should have 6 things. This goes for all teaching hospitals and for all centres that will cater to a Governor or President
That is X Ray, Ultrasound, Mammography, MRI, CT and a Pathology lab for bloods
This alongside other small fry instruments like ECG machine are just for diagnostic purposes so they can determine what's wrong, not for treatment purposes.
After these have done their work, they can then decide if water done pass garri and they need to fly you abroad. I would like to imagine Presidential clinic has these things in any country and the cost of the above is no less than N15bln all in before we start talking of operational expenditure
I agree with you. My main issue with the money being allocated is that someone, somewhere, is embezzling the funds intended for that clinic. They might as well shut it down for good, since they’re always traveling abroad for medical treatment anyway.
Ibime: This is actually cheap and tells me there is little to no primary healthcare provision there
None of these figures can install an MRI machine, common fixed X Ray and/or Ultrasound go gulp half the yearly budget. Electricity cost for a Magnetron can gulp 10% of the 2023 budget.
Na only plaster and needle dem get for Aso Rock jor. The last 44 bed, 4 theatre, 6 ICU hospital I was involved in cost £132m, £100m to build, £32m for equipment and furnishing. That's all CAPEX, no OPEX.
In a country where primary school teachers earn less than N40k and are still owed salaries, it’s absurd that these presidents would consider it reasonable to allocate such a large budget to a facility that, according to Buhari’s wife, didn’t even have paracetamol as far back as 2016. Why waste scarce resources on a hospital no one is going to use? Wouldn’t that money be better spent in areas that actually need it? After all, based on your own post, the hospital isn’t even properly equipped to stop them from flying abroad for treatment. Las las….na oguuun go deal with them.
Spy360: Make I know why Arsenal won't win a major title this season.
All the right things have been done. All.
The Wailing Wailers will become jobless very soon. I expect that by October ending we will be like 10 points clear in the league. I expect the league title wrapped up before May.
How do we possibly justify all the money spent on the Aso Rock Clinic when the very people it’s meant to serve are abroad for medical treatment almost every other week? Buhari and Tinubu, una well done o!
I hear you. But you and I know that’s not the route an average Nigerian would take, especially not over the kind of matter this man is now claiming he’ll sue Dayo for.
TemporaryHansel: Very simple. It'll be served on the owner of the platform. He'll provide the user or take the fall.
Dey play! Where would the lawsuit be heard, Nigeria or the US? If it’s the US, do you even know the state he lives in? If it were that easy, plenty people would’ve been served by now. Have you ever been in a legal case in Nigeria? Do you know what it takes to start one and finish it?
TemporaryHansel: The bot actually just saved raumdeuter from a lawsuit. He should be grateful.
Where exactly do you plan to file the lawsuit? And after that, how do you intend to serve him the notice? Last time someone here made threats like that against GloriousGbola, I’m pretty sure it just ended in voicemail. Make una dey take am easy!
Amoto94: And above all, Buhari lived simply. No one accused him of owning a billion-dollar mansion. No son was seen driving Ferraris. No daughter threw a party in Dubai with public funds. He remained in the same house in Daura he had lived in for decades even as President.
No son of his was seen driving a Ferrari, but we all know of one who’s never worked a day in his life, riding BMW power bikes reportedly priced at $157,000 each. That’s the same bike he had that accident on. Bro, I’ve told you before, there’s no need for any renovation. You’re not talking to people who were born yesterday. Don’t insult our intelligence, please.
