1. Why do u guys think all ladies r hoes?
The fact is every lady out there has a price depending on what who's buying wants. For those that want to hit that the price could be money, 'love', attention, or a combination of all that. Now most ladies won't get all of it from one person and so they are open for 'business' and what follows follows.. Now society tends to judge ladies with multiple sex partners. But some people on the other hand love this 'whores' and only call them whores when they pretend they not what they really are.

2. Why do u guys dont take No 4 an Answer. Dat is if u ask a girl out she refuse nd say No y is it hard for u to leave her nd look for another girl, is she d only girl in av ever seen.
Lol. This is funny. Apparently any guy that takes no for an answer isn't ready cuz that's how you ladies are wired.. To say no when you might really mean yes.. Society has really changed the way things should be. An average lady thinks saying yes too early makes u look cheap and so the fellas make it an habit to push and push. Besides. If a guy comes at you, you tell him no and he moves on to the next yall still gone call him names. See why they say ladies are unnecessarily complicated?. Besides the guys that know how it should really be done really never need to ask.

3. Why do guys like testing their bae?
Test how??

4. Why do guys think dat after a break up wit a girl dat dy can come back to her at anytime nd expecting her to accept him back.
This is not a guy thing. It's both ways. Usually after the break up comes the realization..


5. Why do guys keeping calling a girl almost 5times a day wen dy r trying to ask her out but stop calling wen dy av win d girl over to themselves.
The chase and the catch. Two very different things..

Hey guys. I have an S6 Edge plus I got from slot with screen insurance. My phone got a pretty bad crack yesterday. The phone is quiet unsightly for me now but I'm skeptical about taking it to slot to getget the screen replaced because I doubt the quality of the material they'll use will be as good as the one that originally came with the phone. Has anyone ever gotten their screen replaced by slot and did it give you any issues after? @lalasticlala

PoliticsNigeria Fuel Subsidy Crisis: Why I Blame Gej. by drered(op): 9:10pm On May 19, 2016
In discussing this very volatile issue, let me make one point very clear. I speak from a very informed perspective. This is not just one of those social commentaries.

I worked in the downstream petroleum sector for about 36 months as legal counsel and this was at the peak of the subsidy crisis. I handled and prepared critical documents, advised on transactions and participated in the subsidy scheme as a staff of the one of biggest indigenous players in the sector.

I have a perfect understanding of the system from the point where these products are negotiated and bought from refineries abroad to the contract for their shipping….from arrival at the Port in Nigeria to the inspections and the final destination at designated tank farms, so I speak with authority.

When the subsidy probe started, I also made several submissions to the National Assembly Committees and also was at the EFCC during the investigations.

NIGERIA FUEL SUBSIDY CRISIS:
OBJ and the Disaster of Reactive Leadership

Weak and reactive leadership is a disaster to any organization that has it. The hallmark of great leadership is the ability to identify risks and institute effective risk management systems. No organization in this world can survive uncontrolled hemorrhage of scarce resources.

The subsidy scheme became an issue under President Obansanjo. It was under him that the concept of petroleum importation became full blown. For reasons best known to the Wily Owu Chief, our four refineries were left to rot while our country relied on fuel importation. That policy remained the biggest disservice former President Obasanjo did to this country.

However, as bad as that policy was under OBJ, there was still some level of sanity and control. At no time under OBJ did subsidy payments exceed 190 billion Naira annually. There were stringent measures that controlled the participation of companies under the subsidy scheme.

Just before OBJ left office, he sold two of our refineries to Dangote and Otedola, a measure that would have worked if fully implemented. It is beyond doubt that the private sector remains the best economic and commercial managers. Government is a cesspool of waste and corruption.

NIGERIA FUEL SUBSIDY CRISIS:
Yar’adua and the Staccato of Uninformed Voices

When late President Yar’adua took over, he rode on a staccato of uninformed voices to reverse the sale of the refineries. He reversed the sale but did nothing to bring the refineries back to work. He continued to run the subsidy scheme and kept the restive sanity in the system. As at the time Yar’adua died, Nigeria’s subsidy burden was about 230 billion Naira per annum.

Now for the uninformed, the petroleum subsidy scheme is a system where the federal government, on a bid to reduce the cost of fuel paid by Nigerians chooses to pay the difference between the landing cost of petrol imports, the prevailing price of the commodity at the international market and what is actually sold in Nigeria.

For instance, if the landing cost of petrol in Nigeria is, say, N115, and after adding lightering charges and other logistics costs, the price of petrol should be N147, the federal government asks the marketers to sell at N97 and decides to pay the marketers the difference per litre.

NIGERIA FUEL SUBSIDY CRISIS:
GEJ and the Eruption of Corruption

Now enter President Goodluck Ebelechukwu Azikiwe Mainasara Jehoshaphat Effiong Jonathan!

Under him, subsidy costs jumped from 200 billion Naira to over 1.2 trillion in the first two years of his government.

Why? What happened?

Did the population of Nigeria triple within that period or did the number of cars quadruple? Was there an industrial revolution?

The answer is simple. Again, I speak from an informed position.

Due to weak regulatory regimes, the downstream sector became an all comers affair. Every Tom, Dick and Harry entered the business. Companies with no verifiable addresses, no tank farms, no vessels,
no financial structures, no bank guarantees all became fuel importers. It was a bazaar. It is only in Nigeria that such bizarre things can happen.

Emergency millionaires were made in days. Time and space won’t allow me to give you details of the unbelievable things that happened. Every top official of the federal government became an emergency fuel importer or middle man. Importation licenses were hawked openly. All you needed was for the PPPRA to give you a license to import. You could sell it for millions just outside the door.

Now there is a complex web that links the Petroleum Ministry, the DPR, the Navy, the NPA, NIMASA, PPPRA, DMO, CBN and Commercial Banks in this fraud. Documents like the sovereign debt statements and the sovereign debt notes flew about and our money kept disappearing.

From about 30 companies in the scheme, the number shot up to 300. Monthly, billions of Naira were paid out to people who have never had any contact with a Jerry can of fuel in their lives. No verification, no authentication, nothing. Money was being paid with reckless abandon. Dr. Okonjo Iweala and Mrs. Alison Madueke were all there watching!

It got so bad that some people will arrange with ship owners……take a two day hire of an empty ship, move it to Lagos Port, and berth it there. Officials of the PPPRA, Petroleum Ministry, DPR will come there to inspect an empty vessel and certify that the empty vessel carried 10,000 metric tons of petrol, collect their money and walk away. The vessel simply sails away and three weeks later, close to 6 billion Naira will be paid as subsidy when not even a single drop of petrol was brought in.

It was when the government saw that it could no longer sustain that level of waste that GEJ made that attempt at removing subsidy which was stoutly and rightly rejected by Nigerians. If you recall, the call for the probe of the Subsidy fraud didn’t even come from the Presidency. GEJ never called for any probe. Neither did Alison Madueke nor Okonjo Iweala.

The call for probe was triggered off by the submissions of Senator Bukola Saraki on the floor of the Senate when he took time to tell the sad story of the biggest fraud in modern Nigeria called FUEL SUBSIDY.

NIGERIA FUEL SUBSIDY CRISIS:
Probing the Cabals

Nigerians should ask GEJ to tell us how our subsidy burden jumped from 200 billion to 1.4 trillion in two years. Between 2008 and 2013, the PPPRA was about the most corrupt government office in Nigeria. People who worked there lived like Emperors. They spent dollars like there was no tomorrow. Only the privileged found their way there. Each time I went to their office in Abuja then, I left with a heavy heart. This country is in serious trouble.

The only time sanity came to that sector was when GEJ brought Reginald Stanley, former Group General Manager of PPMC who also headed the London Branch of the NNPC into the picture. Reginald Stanley cleaned up the PPPRA, redeployed close to 80% of the workers and rejigged the subsidy program. It was then discovered that more than 60% of the funds paid as subsidy in the last three years were paid wrongly and fraudulently.

That was when the subsidy probe started. Out of the over 300 companies that were collecting subsidy, it was found that not up to 30 were really importing fuel. Close to 700 billion Naira were stolen in the subsidy scheme. Till date, not a single person has been convicted!

Again, throughout the five years that GEJ ran this country, not one single attempt was made to even find out what is the problem with our refineries.

And yet, people say I shouldn’t blame GEJ!

Who should I blame?

My father…..in his grave?

CareerRe: Pharmacists, Pharmacy Students And Interns. At Home Or Abroad, Let's Meet Here. by drered(m): 2:20pm On Apr 19, 2016
The famous questions.. Is pharmacy hard? What are the most difficult courses? What's the most difficult level? How do I pass a course.. I keep saying pharmacy can't be that hard if I left without a single resit and an OK result even though I was among the most social guys in school back then.. Pharmacy is one of the most challenging courses in school but I won't call it hard. As long as u know what you're doing.. There really is no universal rule.. The rules change all the time.. So always go the extra mile, better to be over-prepared than under-prepared.. Set goals and try and achieve them. I made a mistake quiet early in my school days when our seniors back then would tell us GPA don't matter so I was a little care free. A reality check came when I lost 2 of my other friends in 200L (one repeat and one withdraw) after losing one in 100L. So it was just me and this guy left and eventually it was just me.. Now how'd I do it? I was focused. I knew where I was coming from and where I was going.. I could be a joker in class back then but then everybody knew better than to take that for unseriousness. See, that's the kinda person you should be.. Super fun and even more serious. It took a while for me to move myself from the base level to put in that extra work bit then I did.. Study after classes, try and go through errthang that day, go even deeper, scribble extra stuff I find out about the subject. . Then maaaaajor turn up, Chill with the Boyz.. When it got closer to exams I even had issues with my relationship. It was simple. Don't come around, don't call. I'll call u when I can. Study, study, study.. Running up to 18 hours everyday in the library weeks to exams. I had the will power to leave my friends when we're having fun to go study.. Back then, 300L,400L, see us studying on the road to exams sef. Serious stuff.. Then 500L came and it was already part of us.. Though it wasn't much easier as per projects, externship and all those other stuffs.. We just had to juggle them.. You can chose to see it the way you want to cuz back then I'd swear pharmacy is hard. Lol. Any alumnus of U. I will tell u it could be crazy there.. Exams back to back up until Saturdays only to leave a week for just 2 or 3 practical exams, people having psychotic breakdowns, fainting when they open the exam sheet, pastors and imams, role models having to repeat and having to repeat for falling ill during an exam.. Find what works for u and stick to it.. Don't get carried away, my BGS didn't necessarily study longer hours.. He had an awesome memory.. One mistake you'll make is to focus on just the books cuz it will screw u over later.. I got an internship placement less than a month after induction not from k e important person I knew. But from networking.. So try and achieve that balance..

HealthRe: Kidney Transplant In Nigeria: My Story by drered(m): 1:41pm On Apr 15, 2016
Blessings OP. What you did really is unquantifiable cuz u basically just gave someone another shot at life.. I have someone pretty close to me with CKD nd it's been a lot I must say. Remember. The leading causes of kidney failure is urinary tract infections, diabetes and hypertension. Nd paracetamol is more harmful on the liver than the kidneys.. It's the other kinds of pain killers, NSAIDS, like diclofenac, ibuprofen, piroxicam etc that could harm the kidneys over a long period of time.. So always consult Healthcare professionals before taking medications no matte how 'simple' you think they are..

I see you're purposely trying to be disillusional. Excerpts from the link
Nurses under the aegis of University Graduates of Nursing Science Association, UGONSA, have restated that it is not part of JOHESU and therefore instructed members not to participate in the looming strike that only strives to truncate the actualization of internship for the graduates of the B.N.Sc through its proposed Unified Schemes of Service for Nurses. In a statement jointly signed by its National President, Chief Hon S.E.O Egwuenu, and National Secretary, Nur. G.I. Nshi, the Association said, “it stuns imagination that JOHESU over time has shown unhidden disdain for the professional growth and development of nursing by its sinister arrogation of Unified Schemes of Service to Nursing, a global multi-cadre profession, without doing same to other multi-cadre professions in its folds simply because it is not comfortable with graduates of B.N.Sc going for internship and joining the Civil Service on at least CONHESS 09, like other health professionals in its fold.

HealthRe: JOHESU To Embark On Nationwide Strike by drered(m): 12:01pm On Feb 18, 2016
lolaed:
For those who may not Understand, let me explain what JOHESU means to you.

The nurses(who spent three years in Nursing school. A few of them got part-time Bsc. )
The ward orderlies(in other words, messangers, secondary school leaving certificate holders)
Admin staff(who literally spend half of the day gossiping at their desks)
Technicians(who fix the bulbs and other hospital property)

but also,
the microbiologists, lab scientists, and the most pathetic of all, pharmacists.


Their agitation is that the Doctors get better paid than them. But, listen again, and think about it. Can all the afore mentioned people be paid the same amount of money?

Interestingly, pharmacists get paid almost as much as the Doctors. But the truth is that Doctors work all day long and as well do calls. whereas they shift their own services and what do Pharmacists do in hospitals? They DISPENSE drugs. Their mates in other countries manufacture drugs for the populace..but they ONLY dispense the drugs a Doctor must have prescribed for a patient. Most of these microbiologists and pharmacists chose medicine as their first choice courses but were given these courses of study. of course, logically there is a difference.

the level of expertise, the amount of mental input and the amount of workload have great effects. How can any of these, educated people not understand and think every managerial problem they have has to be against the Doctors.

Pharmacists forming a union with these other people irks me. they have thrown their profession to the dogs. and no, it is completely absurd for a ward orderly to want the same salary level as a Doctor and for pharmacists and lab workers to join in such ridiculous agitations.

These people are only trying to sabotage tthe Federal Government and should be dealt with accordingly.
You're a dolt and don't take it as an insult because it is what you really are. That being said I'll correct some few assertions in the interest of the public. B. SC nurses are part of JOHESU. Nd the fact that you don't get the reason for the agitation has nullified every other point you've tried to make. Johesu isn't agitating for the same pay as doctors. They want relativity to be mantained and the margin gap reduced to what it was. Now you call other professionals mediocre for joining forces with mere lab technicians and the rest.. There was once relative unity in the health sector until doctors decided to form the nma with dentist to push for better pay and welfare effectively ignoring other members of the healthcare team. Now they chose to join forces and ensure every other person is duly represented and that's an issue for you. You see your god complex reeks from the hight heavens thinking you're better than everyone else and anything but you is sub. Another point you raised is pharmacists just dispense drugs. Yes. PHARMACIST WORKING IN HOSPITALS DISPENSE medicines but when they decided to do something about it by running the pharm. D programme that makes their practise much more clinically oriented. Who kicked against it? DOCTORS. So shut your hypocritical mouth and take the clog off your eyes. See you vibrating and spitting venom like you're making sense. Smh
