Shameless El Rufai.You are being beaten to your game,now you are crying wolf.

Terrorism is a menace that has no place in any society.It has no brother or sister,it has no friend,it has no ethnicity or religion.It should never be celebrated.Lets put aside our party,religious or ethnic affiliation and fight terrorism head on.

Oh!These people are heartless

We dont need cylinder,they need to reduce price of gas
2900naira per 12.5 ltr doesnt make sense
Kerosine is now 50naira

I dont know where it is sold for that price but in PH it is #3,500.

No wonder!Its been terrible in my area.No power for 3 days stretch now.Last month and beginning of this month was fair.Its been on and off since then

I am a Chelsea fan but I hate the way Costa behaves.He is a thug,no iota of sportsmanship in his play

The owner of this newspaper is a core tribalist.This is not the first time the paper is indulging in an irresponsible and utterly biased write up.Yet people accuse Nnamdi Kanu of fanning the ambers of discord and hatred between Igbos and Yorubas.This is just unacceptable,a mainstream media putting out this rubbish for people to read.SMH

I don't think any state has more coal deposit than Enugu.In Enugu,while digging bore hole you will meet coal

Drab match

Mourinho is just the problem of the team right now,he is just clueless on how to manage the defense.How can he take off mikel who was stabilizing the defense to bring in an attacker who was finding it difficult to trap balls.He should know by now that that the defense is weak by default,worse of he bought a Falcao who is just a mirror of Torres when he was in Chelsea.I blame Mourinho for the problem with the team.

Roberta Vinci came from a set down to shock world number one Serena Williams 2-6 6-4 6-4 and set up an all-Italian US Open final, ending the American's dream of a calendar slam.
The unseeded Italian lost the first set and Williams appeared to be on course for a routine victory, but the 32-year-old world number 35 dug deep to claim the biggest win of her career and inflict a painful loss.

Vinci broke Williams' serve in the third game of the match but the six-time Flushing Meadows champion broke back in the very next game as she won five straight games to secure a comfortable first set.

A tenacious Vinci broke again in the second set as Williams struggled to keep her focus, and this time the Italian was able to consolidate it to open a 4-2 lead and saw out the set 6-4.

Williams came flying out of the blocks at the start of the deciding set with an early break of the Vinci serve, only to be pegged back again as Williams conceded the fourth game of the set with a timid double fault.

An increasingly emotional Williams, whose animated outbursts became a regular feature as the tension grew, opened the door to Vinci at 3-3 in the third with back-to-back double faults - only for Vinci to miss a routine volley when she had the chance to force two break points.

But in the very same game Vinci applied the pressure on the Williams with the winning shot in an extraordinary rally, which the Italian finished off with a sublime volley - raising the roof on the Arthur Ashe court as Vinci completed the break to go 4-3 ahead.

Williams removed some strapping on her right foot and seemed set to bounce back immediately at 40-15, but let Vinci back in and the Italian struck back to make it 5-3 and held on to win the deciding set 6-4, in front of a stunned New York crowd.

Looking at the pix,what he has is likely Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis,baring histology report,not likely Steven Johnson Syndrome.May not necessarily be the fault of the drug company because these reactions(TEN and SJS) are clearly written out by the drug company as one of the adverse effects of the drug as a warning to whoever is on the medication.Someone should have been able to take a good drug and allergy history before prescribing the medication.However,it is easy to lay blame,sometimes these things happen even after taking a thorough drug and allergy history especially if this is the first episode of drug reaction in the patient.I wish him soonest recovery

A bunch of unrepentant tribalists.They listed South East and South South appointments but refused to show a list of Nothern appointments under Goodluck's administration

Oliseh,another disaster in the waiting!

Terrible display of football

I hope we are not gonna play Egypt with this same team.I can only imagine what will happen

Obviously in experience Oliseh,20mins to go and you have made all your changes.

The super eagles are tired,the effect of chronic bench warming in their various clubs

The only shinning light in the team is Simon

I have been watching a bunch of purposeless,headless running round the field.SMH

Oliseh,is this the kind of national team you are building.Ok, continue

Same old sluggish football

Is this the 'Oliseh team'?

Omeruo always falling,yet super eagles handlers alway play him

@op,you are a gold digger,sorry I have to be blunt.You are confused because you want a guy who you like and who is also rich.The fact is that you primarily want a rich guy possibly because of your family status and what people will think about you and your family if you marry a 'poor' guy.Unfortunately,in life some times these features don't come in one package.You have to make a choice on what you really want.You family is not helping matters because you all have the same 'marry the rich guy syndrome'.I wish you the best in your eventual choice.

Well perfected charade to deceive the gullible

Interesting.

Iluv:
In my own opinion, I don't take campaign promises serious. Most times, the perceived personality of a candidate makes people vote for him cos we have seen all sorts of crazy things in Nigerian politics.

I don't believe in campaign promises cos the same party officials can hold their candidate to ransome once he wins the election. Hence all those promises will turn to something else.

Please lets forget the promises and judge at the end of the 4 years tenure.
Let our votes tell them they lied by promising heaven/earth and denying same when they got into power.

If we feel it's too bad, let's move to impeach the president, though it may be too early to see results. We always have options.

You have to start taking campaign promises serious because what would be your reasons for casting your vote?If you vote in a person simply because for one reason or the other you don't like the previous government,how are you sure the new government would fare better.We should vote for a politician because of the promises that he/she would perform BETTER,so that if he/she doesn't keep to the promises,we then hold the person accountable.

View from a medical doctor.

(Disclaimer...I do not work for UPTH, or any of its affiliated institutions.)

First off, I commiserate with the students of Uniport as well as the lady's family over this untimely death.

Second....let's look at this case.

They got to the hospital. Most likely....they got to the Accident and Emergency Department....the Emergency Ward. And they were told by the nurse....No space.

When the nurse tells you no space...there most likely is NO space. Most nurses in charge of A and E do not turn away any patient who comes to them for help. And when there was no space...there most likely was no space.

The problem is that we do not have a good emergency response in this country. Here is how it is done in developed countries. The girl slumps, her fellow students immediately start CPR (which they have learned) and someone calls an ambulance. The ambulance arrives....and the ambulance drivers and paramedics start first aid. Meanwhile...they have an idea of where the nearest hospital with free bed space is....and they rush her there in the ambulance (Or sometimes by helicopter.). On arrival....there is a team of docs and nurses waiting for the patient.

It does not happen in Nigeria. And yes....UPTH is filled up because A and E can get busy(I should know). I have worked in hospitals where A and E is quiet during the day...then all hell breaks loose at night. And unfortunately...patients die because there is no space...or because the Casualty officer and the nurse are overstretched serving several patients.

So, the students should not blame the medical folks here. Instead....blame the lack of planning in our country. Port should have several tertiary level hospitals that are equipped to take care of several patients. The fact they do not is hardly my colleagues fault. And it won't be right to treat the patient on the floor either.

In a hospital....a tertiary hospital....no space means no space. The number of patients there was probably too many. So....unless the students have proof that there was space and the nurse was lying....I see no case of medical negligence. I see a case for better leadership from Abuja though....and for Buhari to appoint a health minister quick quick.

Thank you doc for your contribution.It is unfortunate that whenever a patient dies in a hospital,the doctors and nurses are held responsible even when these health practitioners had done everything humanly possible to save these lives.I am not holding brief for the doctors and nurses who were on duty on that day.I write this as a doctor who has worked at this same Accident and Emergency in UPTH in the past.I must say that this particular A/E is a jungle and I mean it.It is one of the worst places for any health practitioner to take calls.Problems ranging from lack of materials to work with to inadequate number of personnels are some of the myriad of problems bedeviling this institution and not just the A/E.Its high time we started holding our leaders accountable for these kind of unfortunate events.The student should also express their grievances through a peaceful protest to the government house,not destroying government property the way it was alleged to have been done at the UPTH.This is an eye opener to some of us who have not realized the level of rot of our public health facilities.For a young life to be cut short is a great loss to the family and loved ones.RIP to the dead.May God give the family the fortitude to bear the loss.
