All these ranting calling the man all sorts of unprintable names is just what I don't understand. What the man said is just very much in order.

Don't other graduates who even studied more than the over hyped Doctors farm? Please, there are many PhD holders everywhere in the world who are farmers. The ministers' advise is not bad at all. A lot of people spend up to 12years studying up to PhD and later deviate from what they have studied. That is why you have Lawyers, Accountants, Doctors, Engineers, surveyors, etc all going into politics instead of only practising what they have studied. Else, politics should have been left for those who studied political science and public administration.

Although, I know that some people's view on this discussion is out of ignorance. Because I have read where some are saying, after 7years, how can the person drop the certificate and take up hoes and matchet and go to farm. They forgot that farming has gone far beyond that level even in many rural communities today. Again, they should also see farming beyond just cultivation of land for food. How many hospitals are up to the level of any of the Dangote farms be it sugar, floor, rice etc in terms of wealth and other indices? So Any graduate can make a far better decent living out of farming if he so desire to do so. its a matter of choice.

The bone of contention does not lie in the fact that a doctor is too big to be a farmer, be it small scale or big scale farmer. The problem is that the statement came from a minister of health (not agriculture), who was asked to report on the efforts made by the government to support the medical postgraduate training program known as residency and thus increase the number of specialist doctors and meet the medical needs of the teeming population of Nigerians.

And he ended up blurting out such statement. If you fail to see that there is a problem in what was said by him by reason of the position he occupies, then you are not being objective.

What a shameless answer from a supposed minister of health. If the minister of Agriculture makes this statement, I'll personally see no fault in it, but for the minister of health who sees the inherent decay in the medical sector, and who knows what the doctor:patient ratio should be in a nation striving to become developed to spit out such trash. Then there is no hope for Nigeria if these crop of politicians remain at the helm of affairs.

why would kidnappers blackmail him with his nude pics for money when they can hold him hostage to get same amount.....


something is not adding up...

They are talking to 2 year olds. Lol

Let all the both team to score gamblers rejoice.

"The ceremony of innocence is drowned. The best lack conviction while the worst are filled with passionate intensity."

That exactly is the plague of our society, when the lady who is a virgin at 25 is ashamed to identify as such and the 18 old who has slept with 5 different guys is proud to shout it on the mountains.

The only team that can trouble Liverpool is Man city but I don't see them outgunning this klop team whom are on red hot form.

It would be Liverpool undoing if they fail to win EPL. The ball is in their court.

As for Man utd my team, they should forget about top 4.

Chelsea is red hot. Don't forget them so easily.

Oblang:
Where is the chief of defence staff from?

Does the ratio of 1:10, make any sense to you?
That is if you can be honest about your answer.

Interesting.

She used to be beautiful with a graceful smile.

I think Clickbank is an affiliate provider?

So you purportedly had sex with a lady and she was not also expelled with you.

The whole writeup reeks of disorder, and absolute lack of coordination in writing.

Shortyy:
That's how I'll sue MTN if they don't return my money. Bunch of criminals

You forget that you are in Nigeria my dear.

Stupid news reporting. Firstly, a bottle of Benylin syrup containing codeine was found in his car, does not prove he took it. Secondly, nothing was said about the two other passengers, did they disappear, were they hurt? Just nothing, and you call yourself a reporter.

Is that all there is, to shake? Lol

You people should all relax, when I go to London I'll check out the embassy to corroborate or debunk this story. You guys should watch out for my visit.

You bought a book and someone commanded you to give it to them then you hand it over. That's your first mumu. This girl liked that man. If he had talked to her sweetly she will end up following him home, zion daughter or not.

She walked herself into the problem, willingly!

Like seriously? You mean someone in the bus just asks to see the book you are holding, possibly to see the title and the author, then hand it back to you. But you tell me, you must have to like the person first before giving him/her.

There should be a very thorough medicals before recruitment. Very importantly there should be an extensive heart examination cos there are heart conditions that can result in sudden cardiac death with serious exertion that comes with military training.

sharpwriter:
I don't think it needs to be legalized before it can be used for export. The problem is that we have dunce and stupid people as leaders. Cannabis can be restricted as government property alone just like crude-oil. It may only be handled by government and planted on government owned cannabis farm but should not be authorized for private or public people to own. But laws here are always slack so it seems impossible. Since Nigerians always abuse whatever they are given, it isn't safe to legalize it.

Our government that is always interested in privatising all their responsibility to the people will now take up cannabis farming. Lol

*IF THE BIBLE WERE TO BE WRITTEN IN OUR TIME, THE STORY OF ATIKU COULD HAVE BEEN THUS*

AN ACCOUNT OF THE TRIALS OF ATIKU THE SON OF ABUBAKAR

1. In the seventh year that king Obasanjo reigned over the kingdom, a great trouble broke out in the land. For when his time was come nigh that he may descend from the throne that he called unto himself noble men in the land.

2. And he declared unto them saying: "Now that my days on the throne are few, allow me therefore to rule over thee for another four years".

3. And he gathered together of them that maketh laws in the Red Chamber in the city of the king, and even unto they in the Green Chamber, that they may amend the books of the law to favour him.

4. But this thing grieved Atiku the son of Abubakar who was the king's deputy. And he said unto his master, "howbeit seekest thou to rule over the people for another term? sweareth not thou by the name of thy god to set me upon the throne after thee?

5. Practice thou not this great evil against me and against the kingdom for it is written in the books of the law that a king may not reign but for two terms which equal eight years''. But these words changeth not the heart of the king.

6. And Atiku conspired with the Governors of the provinces and of the men who maketh laws in the city of the great king and they rejected king Obasanjo that he may continually reign over the kingdom.

7. And the king was wrought with grave anger and he declared according to these words to Atiku the son of Abubakar saying, "because thou hath done this great evil unto me, thou shall no longer sit upon the throne of this kingdom even unto thy death".

8. When the son of Abubakar saw that the king favoureth him not, that he departed from the camp of the king by the name PDP, and pitched his tent in the camp of the king's adversaries by the name ACN that he may contend the throne of the kingdom.

9. And it came to pass that Governor Yaradua who ruleth over the province of Katsina found favour in the sight of king Obasanjo. And when the time was come for the appointment of the king that he defeated Atiku and was appointed and anointed king over the kingdom. And king Yaradua ruleth the kingdom with the fear of God. But his days as king was full of affliction.

10. And when king Yaradua gave up the ghost that Goodluck the son of Jonathan who siteth by his side as the deputy reigned after him. But when the time was come nigh that the son of Jonathan be appointed again that Atiku departed from the camp of the king's adversaries and entered into the king's camp that he may be appointed.

11 . But the son of Jonathan defeated Atiku again for he spake according to these words unto the people, "I feel thy pains brethren for I was once like thee. I wore no sandals on the soul of my feet in the years of my youth when seeketh I knowledge, for my parents were of little means". And the people loved him and appointed him.

12. And the host of the other camps were vexed with a great vexation. For sixteen years they made battle against the king's camp and hath not prevailed against it.

13. And a certain noble man by the name Audu the son of Ogbe declared unto the leaders of the camps that contended the throne with the king's camp saying: "howbeit thinkest thou in thy heart to prevail against the king's camp if comest thou not together as one?

14. Harken to my voice this day, come let us reason together that we may enlarge our coast and verily, verily I say unto thee, the throne of the kingdom shall be delivered into our hands.

15. Of the camps that came together that day to form the APC were ACN from the west, ANPP from the North and a part of APGA from the East of the kingdom. Even the unhappy in the camp of PDP crossed over into the camp too.

16. And Atiku the son of Abubakar departed again from the king's camp by the name PDP and entered into the camp of the king's adversaries that he may contend the throne.

17. But Mohammed the son of Buhari was favoured among them that seeketh the throne from the camp of the APC for he swore unto the leaders of the camp saying, "Behold brethren, I am full of age and my eyes are becoming dim, suffer me to ascend unto the throne for I shall only reign for four years". And Buhari was anointed king over the kingdom.

18. And it troubled the son of Abubakar in his heart that he was rejected as king again. But he saith in his heart, I shall be of long suffering and remain in this camp for I shall ascend unto the throne after the fourth year of king Buhari.

19. But it came to pass that as the end of the fourth year of king Buhari's reign was at hand that the advisers in the king's court said unto him, be of good courage, gird thy loins and present thyself to be appointed again to reign over the kingdom for another four years.

20. And when Atiku heard of these words that he was vexed with anger and he repenteth that he joined the APC.

21. And he said, "I shall arise and go back to PDP which is the camp of my youth. And I shall declare unto them, “I have sinned against thee and against God. Accept me this day that I may once again contend the throne in thy bosom”.

22. And on the twenty fourth day of the eleventh month of the year before a new king is appointed that Atiku the son of Abubakar departed from the camp of APC and joined the camp of his youth.

23. And there was great jubilation in the camp of PDP that day for they said, “Verily, the prodigal son returneth.

24. But they forgot that Aremu, the son of Obasanjo, who still sees himself as the King maker, will not approve of it.

25. But behold, I say unto you, verily the spirit of the living God, when it returneth unto Aremu, the son of Obasanjo shall cause him to see the light and giveth his approval, and there shall be great jubilation in the camp of Atiku, the son of Abubakar.

Got from a Friend's FB page

Wow! Whoever wrote this doth read a lot of King James Version, and all that he writeth thus, bewrayeth him.
However, it is a brilliant translation of the story of Atiku the son of Abubakar.

I saw collateral and I was thinking "Mayor of Casterbridge", thus I was spurred to click on the post only to read through and see guarantor. How are both words the same thing? Clueless and nonsense write-ups.

He jumped off the fifth floor, didn't get his brain splattered on the floor, and yet survived to be taken to the hospital.
That alone is a proof, that he has escaped the hold of his village people. With that, I congratulate him.

flyca:
I cannot, have never and will never go on a date without having my own money in my pocket. My mum will not even allow me leave the house empty handed. For first dates, I love to be the one to pay.

Besides the only thing I eat out is yogurt, few other times moi-moi Every other thing I can invite you and cook it in my house. I even cook better than all those curry-one-side rice they serve at most Nigerian eateries. So we cannot be spending more than 1k on first date, for what nah

Anyway, it's all these guys abandoning their dates in restaurants are broke cowards! And I can smell from them 50km radius.

No wonder your husband is growing fatter by the day.

merahki:
I mean no disrespect, but there is a not so subtle smirking and gloating tone discernible in your post towards the almost help that your husband did not marry, why? I honestly don't want to know why though, used that to emphasize how much your post rubbed me the wrong way. I hope it is all in my mind, if so, my bad.
I understand how you want to feel you are all that and more where your husband is concerned, but in doing so, you threw another woman under the bus. Besides it could be that your husband could not handle ALL that the almost help is, and settled for safe and easy to manage. I do get carried away! But I had to defend that who cannot defend herself here, lol. And I am out!

You are not alone. I was just thinking the same thing, till I scrolled down and read your comment. Then I blessed your mind.

When and if he becomes president. These ones can say, I took a selfie with the president.

Everything to promote sensuality is welcome in the world of our time with both hands.

Yaradua my best president. I wished that man had lived and ruled for 8 years, this country would have been great.
Goodluck is a good man, but being good doesn't make you a good president. Our country needs a smart person for a president, and Jonathan was not that, and Buhari is much more worse than that.
Obasanjo was rather cunning than smart, and we don't need that too.

Finally Alisson ends his clean sheet records, and with that, I am not so confident about my earlier assertion of Liverpool being top most contender for the EPL title.

Mo got lost in the game just like Mane did last week, Hendo didn't justify his starting today, odds are he might not start next game. Finally Bobby gets a goal for the season, hope that's the beginning of more to come for him, however I'll love to see Sturridge start.

There is a confidence that comes with winning matches. And as long as Liverpool maintains that, they are certain to challenge the others to the title this time around. #YNWA #12points

Can this man steal money from the shrine in his village. See as people don't fear God anymore courtesy of his abundant mercies and long suffering.

That pastor is my man. And yes he is God's man too, for not closing his eyes to evil.

A lot of Nigerian doctors are so full of themselves. They just want to prescribe drugs or whatever it is, for you without actualy telling you what is wrong you. When you ask, they shut you down like you're asking too many questions. I had a medical problems for years and after moving from Fderal Medical center, LASUTH and a couple of private hospitals, i just decided to heal myself instead. In the government hospitals, it takes a lot of time to really get anything done. I went for consultation, the doctor talked to me rudely and consequently directed me to the Endocrine department and those ones gave me an appointment to come back in 3 months time. I couldn't wait.

Reddington and a couple of other high end hospitals were only interested in collecting my money. Just speaking with a doctor for 5 minutes will deduct 30k for your account and they make sure that they tell you to come back for follow up consultation thereby bleeding your account without profering any solution.

Other cheaper hospitals only know about Malaria and Typhoid. Infact, they should just change the names of their hospital to "Malaria and Typhoid center" instead of hospital. Even after carrying out a test in Clinix (one of the best dignostic centers), the doctor said i should go and redo the test but this time in a diagnostic center that he owns or co-owns.

O boy, no time to waste time. I just decided to do my own research on google based on my symtoms and i'm getting better.

Malaria and Typhoid center, that was quite hilarious.

ADAMUdaCOWBOY:
Shameless set of leaders! But I am not angry with them, Nigerians are Nigeria's problem. Just watch as the youths are already rushing to nairaland to say Ameachi led the move to squander the monies. Whether Amechi, Saraki, Good luck or PMB were you not robbed? Nigerians when will you have sense. See them sleeping on the queue to get their P VC so as to vote another rogue into power. All politicians regardless of parties don't give a damn about you. They steal the monies meant for future generations and keep them for their kids while they use propaganda to get us playing silly politics.

You only stated the obvious problem and offered not one single solution.
