With that amount you need to have a chef added even.

Almost bro!!

this girl studying horse Equestrian science; she's a part time chef
so gathers everyone into the kitchen every other day for a feast

And the Residential Assistant-Chika always inviting me for some proper naija grub

Matalan is doing 20% off coats and I think debenhams too have some discounts on coats and jackets for this coming season

And you might want to get an electric mattress cover from Argos

and dont forget yagranny slippers

I think just over £400 back then

but didnt have to worry too much about paki landlords popping into my space, getting bills and repairs

you can get hot water bottle for 99p- just make sure it's not chinese

perks of living in uni accommodation-- I had underfloor heating through the winter, weekly cleaners

see are you really saving £50 a week for that private accommodation that 'appeared' cheaper on paper ??

You need to book well in advance, im guessing you're underage too, use your young persons rail card

erm they are chinese, : functionality, practicality and [in the nigerian context requires] low maintenance

all the same wait for the final product

anyone with the rendering?

@sheuk

"uk general visa enquiry: i had an encounter with the uk immigration at heathrow last year when my wife took my kid to uk and they were refused entry because I dint come with them, and that she was pregnant, so also that her hotel reservation card declined too man allegations anyway, they cancelled their visa but after all the appeals they were issued another visa even with my new baby again. So we re ready to go this month end and I want them to stay for 2 months with her friend in uk while I will be coming back home alone after stayin 3 weeks with them. Pls advice in what to do bro. your prompt response will be highly appreciated

but then again some people from some parts can be very slow lol

DOES anyone know how much this thing is contributing to national purse? so much twist and turns about this place ever since i started hearing about it

Pennywise: This is a familiar argument that is unfair to Nigerians. If a position does not stand the test of a simple logic and commonsense, it should be condemned irrespective of the depth you take it. As a public servant who has decided to embark on strike (which ought to be a last resort) to address your grievances, you are duty bound to make the reasons known. It is for this reason (among others) doctors keep losing the PR war with govt whenever they go on strike.



You may wish to correct this bc I cant recall when higher salaries was not at the core of a strike called by doctors. No one has said there is anything wrong with a justifiable increase in remuneration. The problem with it is that their action is myopic. I will explain. Doctors are educated people. Nigeria is a third world country with all the problems of govt in the third world especially corruption. Not long ago our lawmakers decided to distinguish themselves in global infamy by awarding themselves stupendous pay packages. This has led to over-the-top govt spending, pressure on the naira with even more inflation. Whatever raise you get will be wiped out by inflation. Doctors like ASUU saw no reason to call for civil disobedience or a strike.

There are other contentious issues like the headship of govt hospitals that is causing so much acrimony and friction. A situation where you have rotation of the headship of Govt hospitals every other year among doctors is laughable and primitive. Is hospital administration in the curricilum at the post graduate college? In which civilized country is this acceptable practice? Certainly not the US or the UK we strive to model clinical delivery after. The result is that there is no sustainable plan. Yes the egos of doctors get a good massage but how does that help the system with respect to service and even accountability. Hospital administration is a course. Any one who desire it should get trained in it. Everything is wrong with entrusting a young man/woman who just left specialist training with a 2billion naira institution when he never managed 5million naira in his life. If this is the depth of issue you talked about then your case is 'dead on arrival'.

Right on the money!

doctors like university profs act like they are not responsible for the budget torun their own hospitals and Schools-
These group of professionals are supposed to be the cream of the society- but managing their own hospitals environment seems to be beyond them! the dirty environment, poor back up plan/generators is not the responsibility of the state/fg.


apart from their god syndrome Naija Doctors are doing a good job by the way

it would also be useful to your research if you dig deeper into Nairaland pre Jonathan era

Do Nigerians love their presidents?

Why is Jonathan above criticism?
Why was it okay/acceptable to Abuse Yaradua- afterall he also didnt create the power problem,
there was corruption before he became president

perhaps people have nowhere to hide now as it's come full circle- now we are hiding under tribe/religion just to deflect issues

and access to the Internet

Thats why i place my very best tyre in the front driver's side.

why not place four 'best' tyres ALL the time

Mr Troll: I'm in the health sector and I have this to say...

Y'all should start suing our arsses. Yes! When a patient dies, investigations should be carried out and all involved parties sued, the doctors, pharmacists, anaesthetists etc. Only when we get our head out of the clouds and realise that GOD!!! Has no hand in the death of ANY patient will we sit up and assert our rights.

When people start suing left right and center, we will sit up and then the govt will start listening to our demands

I understand theres a lot of cover up going on in the health sector- they are quick to gang up on patients and then either turn the blame around or muddle the whole process

Lagusta: concerning private hospitals....

The NMA supposed to have a regular check on private hospitals, they must all be well equipped and up to standard!!! Not just paying annual dues....

a private hospital must have an oxygen-giving apparatus, a resuscitation kit and essential drugs..... also a standard theatre and side-lab for basic tests e.g pcv, RBS....

If these little things are in place, then we are heading somewhere!!!!

why arent they doing it?

THE govt should be blamed for a whole lot of things BUT the medical proffessionals should also be blamed for so many other failures!

Why should the generator and back-up pack up at the same time?

Another problem is the Doctor in nigeria appear to be in charge of everything from hiring everyone from cleaners to security staff, procurement, repairing generators instead of putting in place a management system for non-clinical issues and concentrate on their expertise

doubt you'll fine many undergraduate course starting january- especially Engineering

Burger01: Cute, leggy and segzy.

leggy? leggy?/??/? did you really type leggyyyyy which leg? the K leg or the Stumpy leg?

theoctopus: The status quo has been bad power, so that isnt news. What is news is that the power is improving and getting stable. The stability and regularity of the power supply is even more important than the increase in time itself. Most people understand that improved power is not expected to happen overnight. By this time next year, with the new DISCOs settled and at least 10, 000MW, we will be on another level entirely. Slow and steady wins the race. The opposition has been throwing the kitchen sink so nothing new here! We keep moving forward ever!

unfortunately several people were looking forward to this 2-3 years now what with higher tarriffs to attract investors -without commuserate provisons-prepaid meters, prompt pole repairs, crazy charges etc etc not that they didnt want it to work they just believed people esp in leadership positions that promised something by a certain period should deliver as promised!

back to the topic! It's not too much to squash this 'politically motivated lies'- show the poeple your records!

Renewable engineering?
Financial Engineering?
Mathematical Engineering?
Medical Engineering?

theoctopus: You are right there, but only a small department should be dedicated to that. I know it can be cumbersome sometimes but they just need to keep pushing forward. Truth will eventually dispel lies. For example, come tell the people in my area enjoying regular power that the FG is not doing anything. They will just ignore you. NL does not represent Nigeria!

well they have several department and most arent as busy as they should be, Audit, PR, and DG can dispel these lies within a day- it's what exactly they are there for or else wishing the 'lies' will go away will only give a bad reputation

Just as well you can visit some areas and tell them the FG is claiming the highest power generation and distribution they will ignore you---your area doesnt represent Nigeria!

theoctopus: There is nothing to tell Nigerians. The government should focus on their jobs and ignore distractions from paid journalists. The paid journalists do not serve the interest of the public. They serve the interests of criminals like Tinubu, so nothing spoil!

their job unfortunately includes clearing up ' distractions' and politically motivated rumours!!!
