Sports / Re: "I Did Not Receive 50 Kobo As President Of NWF, I Quit" - Igali by DrTee1(m): 8:12am On Sep 20 |
naptu2: Hi Nap! Good morning Brother. Just this small clarification: I believe the context matters. Journalists, whose duties it is to inform the public, must update themselves with current trends in the area of their practice. How can he say Igali is not seeking to be reelected when Igali, even before he contested for his third term, has been STATUS BARRED from recontesting? This information has been in the public space for almost FOUR years! |
Sports / Re: "I Did Not Receive 50 Kobo As President Of NWF, I Quit" - Igali by DrTee1(m): 8:06am On Sep 20 |
IGALI RESPONDS: When I see sensational write ups of this nature, it makes me understand why people are reticent to speak to the press. I had a chat with journalists yesterday (Wednesday, 18th September) in Asaba. I explained that one of the reasons sports has not done as well as it ought to in Nigeria, is because federations don’t have budgets for development of the various sports. Nigeria and the federal ministry of sports development funds some competitions, mostly Games and some percentage of continental championships. But what is lacking is the zero allocation to federations for the development of coaches, referees and programs of the federations. Comparatively, wrestling has been fared better than 80% of sports when it comes to funding for competitions. That’s not what I told the press yesterday. I felt I should make this clarification. I have even seen a publication that said I am bowing out as federation president because the ministry has not given me a kobo in 12 years. That’s patently false. I have maintained a very good relationship with all ministers and perm secs over the past 12 years of my reign as president of the federation. My tenure expires next year and I cannot seek re election for the same reason presidents obasanjo or Gen. buhari could not go for another term. Daniel Igali. 2 Likes 1 Share |

lebete3000: I'm fine Doc. It's good to connect with another Great Ife Dr on this platform. Dr (now Professor) Okeniyi certainly leaves impressions everywhere. His intentions are clearly good, but this way he has handled it leaves a little more to be desired. There are certainly better, less crude ways, to address the subject of sexual harassment - which affects both genders - in the 21st century. |
Education / Re: OAUTH Removes Beds Which Randy Lecturers Use For Sexual Harassment by DrTee1(m): 6:38am On Sep 20 |
Blitzking: As a clinician, Prof Okeniyi was sui generis. However, it is apparently a different thing as a Manager of a major public organisation, or the media handling of same. I have always pointed out that Clinical acumen doesn't necessarily translate to managerial capacity. I believe that while Medical Doctors are the heads of the medical team, super specialist medical doctors should be heads of the clinical aspect of the profession while management should be left for Generalist Medical Doctors who have acquired managerial education and work experience, with their opportunity cost of taking specialist postgraduate education in place of administrative education even as Doctors. 2 Likes 2 Shares |

This gentleman was my teacher, and I am particularly embarrassed by this words, coming from a Teaching Hospital CEO. They are completely unnecessary in a press conference as this. It looks to me that he got carried away by the moment. The United Nations has policies to ensure Protection from Sexual Exploitation, Sexual Abuse and Sexual Harassment. However, you wouldn't find such proper leaders make statements like this. 14 Likes 3 Shares |
Foreign Affairs / Re: Late Brig. Gen. Maxewell Khobe; General Par Excellence & Former Sierra Leone CDS by DrTee1(m): 10:32am On Sep 18 |
Rest on General. Many Nigerians may not understand the extent of Gen. Khobe's valiant efforts until they relate with Sierra Leone and Liberia, especially Sierra Leone. Generals Khobe and Sani Abacha have streets named after them in Freetown and the City of Bo in Sierra Leone, if I'm not mistaken. Our soldiers who fought gallantly in the Airport island of Lungi (where Gen Khobe was said to have been caught unawares), at Makeni, in Kanema, and the bloodiest ones in Freetown, would never be forgotten.

Health / Re: Family Alleges Negligence After Father’s Death At Oghara Teaching Hospital by DrTee1(m): 6:43pm On Sep 16 |
We have to be careful as a people. Already, our health workers are already greatly overworked. The conventional health workers we have left in this country are about the more patriotic ones who have chosen to stay back to help the system. In a situation where we make claims like this against them because a relative "spent millions" despite being abroad, we may find health workers taking more steps to see fewer patients per time so as to give maximal attention. You cannot be abroad and claim that health workers in Oghara were on social media when they should be attending to your recently deceased relative. You cannot be blaming them for performing last office rites and moving a corpse to the morgue as soon as certified dead. This was a patient that spent two months in the hospital, according to you, and had a tracheostomy tube inserted, amongst other care. Clearly, that medical team was not quite negligent. No medical team can do all of that while being negligent. A patient on a Tracheostomy tube is a Specialist/Consultant's responsibility, working in conjunction with a large team of other doctors who may also be specialists, alongside doctors in various levels of postgraduate training, aside undergraduate medical students. That's aside the Nurses and all other allied health workers that play a lot of roles. It is not enough to make allusion to those cases that ended up as mortality and not make reference to the many cases that are treated and discharged. Indeed, cases that go to Teaching Hospitals are usually very bad cases that cannot be managed at Secondary level medical facilities, as demonstrated by the referral from the hospital in Sapele to the Teaching Hospital in Oghara. While there may be indeed cases of negligence, the continued media, physical and verbal harassment of medical practitioners at various levels of practice in Nigeria doesn't bode well for our already friable medical structure. As it is, many citizens present at the hospital very late, and in very bad conditions, after taking all manners of harmful substances over the years in that name of herbal concoctions as well as unhealthy lifestyles before presenting late in the hospital where the medical staff now have to undo the deed. We must realise that the best way to treat any disease condition is to prevent it. Where matters are already very bad, regardless of how much is spent, the chances are not assured - not anywhere in the world, but especially worse in third world countries. We should all be careful. 15 Likes 1 Share |
Sports / Re: Chelsea Calls Off Pursuit, Osimhen to remain in Napoli by DrTee1(m): 12:09am On Aug 31 |
Rossikk: While I take exception to the extreme language which borders on hate, I think some of the content here may be true. However, what it should do is not to hate the rich, but to work hard to develop ourselves to make wealth for ourselves. We should think of developing the Nigerian football leagues, for example, to levels that can attract the best players in the World. Nobody was keen on doing to play in England 30 years ago. There was barely an EPL at the time. The British decided to create football wealth, like the Saudis are trying to do, after the Chinese failure to achieve similar. Why shouldn't we try to develop and market the Nigerian league to such standards? We steal all our money and stash out in the same Europe and America or use it to import luxury items from Europe and America, creating employment chains for those countries via their export to us, but leaving us poorer by our dependence on importation, including European football television rights, using a lot of our currency to chase a few of theirs. Have we wondered why very few South African National team players ply their football trade abroad/outside South Africa? How about the Egyptian Pharaohs who won 3 AFCON titles back to back between 2006 & 2010? The Aboutrika set... I'll not blame Chelsea. They don't care about Osimhen or Nigeria. It is business and personal interest. Nigeria and Osimhen should develop ourselves to levels where the best English players would try to play for Enyimba or Rangers or Remo Stars. If Ivan Toney can go to Saudi today, everything is possible... 4 Likes 2 Shares |

greggng: I believe that the moderator has explained the reason for that somewhere on this thread. He/she replied that Nairaland has to wait for an official confirmation of his demise from a relative of his before it can be moved to the Front page/Feature Page of this website - and I think that stands to reason. I was here in this country when Nnamdi Azikiwe was rumoured to be dead several times before he did. His family had to debunk that news several times until he ultimately passed on in 1996. Let's respect the dead, as we are doing, and solemnly reflect on our own lives before our individual transitions at different times. All of us would eventually die someday. 15 Likes 1 Share |

I think the World missed Russia badly at the Olympics.

The situation where USA beat China to top the medals table by only the number of silver and bronze medals won certainly wouldn't have happened as Russia would have "split" a number of "votes" both ways... |

Watching for the first time this year. NNE & CHINWE, a first-class holder niece and her Aunt looked to me as a decent twosome, much unlike the breast-exposing twins and others there. Sadly, Nigeria's Big brother show doesn't appreciate responsible people that can be proper role models for our younger generation. That's the moral lesson for me, as I have always known. They shouldn't have gone on into the show in the first place. I would never think of it. 12 Likes |

Crime / Re: ARM Pension Employee Accuses Director Of Rape At Office Party by DrTee1(m): 8:43am On Jul 30 |
For me, this is very simple. If she has had a rape kit done, then the DNA analysis should be conducted on the specimen taken from her vagina. If the accused indeed slept with her, his ejaculate would be inside her. However, if he had used a condom, that wouldn't be the case. Mr Onigbogi would then have to explain his own whereabouts. In court, a man is not guilty but circumstantial evidence, no. Rather, it is by irrefutable evidence. All that I see here, with the "evidences" our a lack of it as presented by the woman, seems like a huge smear campaign with the intention to bury Mr Onigbogi by circumstantial evidence and media trial. If there was intercourse, even with a condom, there are medical forensic manners - purely scientific - to establish that; and not a one-sided accusation like this against her boss, who is innocent in the eye of the law until determined as guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction. I do submit. P.S: I have no knowledge of Mr Onigbogi or his history. I have however seen many a man literally die in the hands of women who make accusations like this which are later found to be untrue. Many cases have been established in court like this, including but not limited to Mr Benjamin Mendy of Manchester City and the French National team whose life was virtually destroyed by this type of outlandish claims. It took years, a loss of his contract and time and his squad position with his club before he was vindicated. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-66201526 3 Likes |

BTO was praised because he made the process of obtaining International Passports much less bottlenecked for Nigerians who wanted to depart from the country. However, that was a low hanging fruit 🍑 that made him very popular. However, leading a group of people, especially in LMICs like Nigeria, is like Moses leading the Israelites in the wilderness. It is more likely to have such a leader fail the higher expectations, often due to unending, sometimes with unrealistic timelines in the face of current bureaucratic, socio-economic, administrative and cultural limitations that we are collectively beleaguered by. As a leader, I would adopt the most modest of options in office, because I know these things can quite change overnight... 1 Like |

casualobserver: I think that the Government is already moving in thr direction of many things which you have suggested above. There are no foreign companies that are allowed to import fruit juices for public sale in Nigeria, for a solitary example. When I am abroad, I like to take Libby's Mango drink. It isn't readily available anywhere in Nigeria. However, the bigger crisis with "government" is that we focus on the Federal, when the States and Local Governments, collectively make more money than what the Federal makes. There's a lot of wastage at all three tiers of government. We must accept our culpability as a people in the mess that our society has become. |
Politics / Re: 7 New Factories Being Built In Nigeria by DrTee1(m): 3:29pm On Jul 12 |
casualobserver: I honestly took no offence. My previous response was not sarcastic. That written, I believe we must consider a HYBRID approach to these things, and that's what has happened at NLNG & Dangote Refinery. Government should not own overarching shares in industries. We should encourage PPP Models. I am not dwelling on whether the West is or East are our friends. Both ends are selfish, including Russia. We would ourselves do same, as we have shown from our terrible corrupt tendencies to steal everything of our commonwealth. The Yoruba people say that there is nobody who would give a hoe who wouldn't raise heaps into the person's self. What we should do is to have consequences for corruption. |

casualobserver: Thank you for your courteous feedback. I appreciate its politeness, even in elaboration. That written, we can adopt a hybrid model to all these. As it is, which you would agree with me, government doesn't own NLNG. Rather, as I had enthused earlier, government has considerable financial input and ownership in a Public-Private Partnership, but is generally 'owned' by private sector. So we are indeed saying the same thing, you know. In a society as fantastically corrupt as this one, you cannot have our poor people with weakened education and a lack of moral uprightness run public businesses for government. Rather, government must continue to give the impetus, but let the digital private sector run the business franchises. 1 Like 1 Share |

WikeTheDrunk: It is NOT the role of the government to build welfarist business structures in today's world. There is the phrase 'Government has no BUSINESS doing (domestic) business'. Nigeria Airways was once the pride of West Africa. Many State Governments similarly have failed in corporate business. At some point in time, Ondo State had NIROWI (Nigeria-Romania Wood Industry) in Ondo City to export wood, Oluwa Glass in Igbokoda to manufacture glass for Peugeot and all, Owena Bank, Owena Motels in the hospitality industry, Owena Mass Transit in thr Transportation industry etc under Ajasin. There was a Textile Industry at Ado Ekiti in the old Ondo State too. I guess the same can be said of many States from the Second Republic. More recently, Ondo's former Governor Mimiko made Ondo a Mecca of medical tourism in the eight years he was Governor. There is very little evidence of his investments in that sector, on the National picture ,today. Why? Government BUSINESS investments in the domestic sector is often KILLED by corruption. The reason is that there are often little or no consequences for corruption in Nigeria. The more corrupt you are, the more you can evade the ICPC, EFCC and all. For that reason, government would invest in private companies and installations with significant ownership interests but not the controlling shareholder. Many people do not know that the Federal Government of Nigeria has significant stakes in NLNG Nigeria, Total Nigeria, SHELL and even Dangote Refinery. That's a careful way to invest the government resources in a privatised system. Finally, the Government creates the economic climate, fiscal policy and structures which enables these investors to set up these industries. Without significant government support in the background, for example, Air Peace would have been unable to establish flights on the London route. You saw how much Festus Kenyamo was in the public eye over the matter and even flew on the maiden flight to London. I do not work in any capacity for the Federal Government, but this is our country, and we must look at all the angles, as we have no other country. People have little understanding of what NIGERIA is UNTIL they travel overseas. You'll then understand that Nigeria is the beacon of hope for Africa. If Nigeria thrives, Africa - at least Sub Saharan Africa - would prosper. 26 Likes 2 Shares |
