Sports / Re: "I Did Not Receive 50 Kobo As President Of NWF, I Quit" - Igali by DrTee1(m): 8:12am On Sep 20

Making of Champions @MakingOfChamps


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!

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.

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.

Prof okeniyi words sometimes amazes me I enjoyed seeing him do his echo on patients with congenital heart disease.. sometimes he held meeting with the ct surgeon in his echo room..a very brilliant paediatric cardiologist.

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.

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.

If that was a white guy they would pay him ANY MONEY he asked, like Haaland.

FCK ALL OF THEM.

OSIMHEN WILL SIT IN NAPOLI AND COLLECT HIS £325,OOO A WEEK JEJELY TILL 2026.

When he's finished he can retire and go into real estate business.

FUCKING WHITE IDIOTS.

ANYTHING 'NIGERIA' THREATENS THEM.

THEY WILL GANG UP TO FRUSTRATE YOU BY REFUSING TO PAY YOUR WORTH.

SAME THING THEY DID WITH OKOCHA. A MAN THAT WAS THREE TIMES MORE SKILFUL THAN RONALDINHO, YET ENDED UP AT BOLTON BECAUSE THESE ANIMALS CALLED ''BIG EUROPEAN CLUBS'' COULDN'T STAND A NIGERIAN BEING THE BEST PLAYER ON THE PLANET.


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...

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.

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.

Politics / Re: 7 New Factories Being Built In Nigeria by DrTee1(m): 4:25pm On Jul 12
casualobserver:



I am in no way suggesting that government should set up and manage industries. IMHO government should set up an annual fund of $2b a year to startup new industries around the country in partnership with competent private sector partners in whatever partnership or management form is applicable. For example govt can set up plantations and associate processing industries and once they are up and running, take them public on the stock exchange, retain a minority stake of no more than 20% and reserve a percentage for the public, recoup their money even if at a loss,put it into the fund for establishing other industries, rinse repeat. The lesson we have learnt is that government is a bad manager of businesses not that they shouldn’t participate in the creation or ownership. Government must also not be hesitant to wield the high tarrif stick to protect strategically important industries.

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.

Actually you shouldn’t take offense. It’s the harsh reality that although the colonialist have left, the institutions they left behind were designed to enslave us mentally. In that respect we are all Uncle Toms…we have been programmed to be such. From giving our children foreign names to the education we receive, to the struggle to speak in fake foreign accents, to the fact that we judge ourselves and consider development based on what obtains in the west. It’s not your fault or mine, it’s who we are it’s what we are programmed to be. Enlightenment comes from understanding that the systems left behind by the west were not designed to lift us out of poverty or undevelopment and have not but to keep us subdued and a source of raw material and a market for their industries. It is that ingrained programmed desire to be like the west that is the source of our misery….and will continue to be.

Back to the topic, the quicker Nigeria and indeed Africa realizes that parroting the west or following their prescriptions (which were designed to favour them and keep us subservient) will never take us t9 the promised land is the day that we start to make progress. You cannot be signing up to agreements that you had no voice at the table or are not in your interests. The same west are the ones imposing punitive tariffs on China regarding chips and EVs. Let who has ears hear. You don’t kill your industries to appease your enemies..and yes they are our enemies. Tha same west pay huge subsidies to their farmers to continue to produce at above market prices and dump the excess on us. Put or farmers to work, impose heavy tariffs on imported alternatives and create industries to process the raw materials. Liberties your economy when we have matured and are competitive. Simple!

The quicker we realize the west are not our friends the better.

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.

Actually this Uncle Tom mindset is why unemployment is so rife in Nigeria. We are a developing economy, in our circumstances of low capital access and persistent high interest rates, only govt has the means to establish manufacturing industries. Be careful when adopting western economic principles from the textbooks…..they weren’t designed for us.

Government has no business running business is different from government has no business establishing businesses. The problem isn’t the establishing of businesses, it is the running of businesses. You talk of all the companies established by government in the past that failed…what is the net result of governments divestment of these industries to the private sector, has it created jobs, has it created more industries? The answer is no! Only a handful of Nigerians have the capacity to create mega industries. The net effect has been job losses and the evolution of our economy into a dumping ground for imported goods.

Be careful when you read the white mans books. China the great economic superpower has many of its companies owned by government. The west (especially Europe) who preach to you about government not getting involved in business, developed their industries via state owned enterprises before the privatized when they became mature. British airways, KLM, Lufthansa, British rail, British Telecom, Royal Mail, Alitalia, Sabina, British Leyland etc etc etc . In fact not only were they developed through state ownership, they continue to receive state protection to the extent that during the financial crisis, the UK govt bought banks to prevent them from failing. Uk bought 84% shares in Natwest during the financial crisis to prevent it going busy annd preserve jobs, ans ant this year it still owns 30%….the free market apologists won’t tell you that! …..and the US govt did same with their car industry….or did they forget to tell you they gave General Motors (a very inefficient private company) a $6.7b loan during the financial crisis? We on the other hand have swallowed the free market line and let our big companies die in the name of free markets.

So be careful when you listen to the west regarding free markets and state ownership. You listen to them and you empoverish your economy and your people and export jobs abroad. The problem isn’t ownership, the problem is level of ownership, who manages the enterprises, the level of control and the level of support (protection) for local industries. You only have to look at NLNG to see that government can own industries that work.

For example we have been talking about agric revolution for the last 5 decades. Only government can establish 10-50,000ha in every state and establish a plantation and hand it over to a competent private sector to manage or sell a majority stake once functional. If we are waiting for private capital, it will never happen. We are talking about going from a Nigeria that had a Peugeot assembly plant that assembled 20000 cars a day, talk less Volkswagen, landrover, styer, Anammco, with local content manufacturers like Michelin, Dunlop, GACOL, Varta and Triple glassetc who supplied locally manufactured components like tyres, air conditioners, batteries and windshields to counting a keke napep assembler as a list of new industries. If that’s the result of free market then let’s go back to the old ways because even if they were inefficient, the created jobs and developed skills.

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.

If Lagos State government can give me 1.4trillion naira , I'll solve her flooding problem once and for all .

Do a research on the below 👇👇 mentioned

Here are some facts about Tokyo's flood system
- The Metropolitan Area Outer Underground Discharge Channel (MAOUDC) is Tokyo's flood defense system.
- The system took 13 years to complete and was finished in 2006.
- It is made up of five concrete silos, connected by tunnels that are 50 meters beneath the surface.
- The system can move water from smaller rivers to the larger Edo River.
- The tunnels are large enough to fit a space shuttle and are connected by 78 pumps that can move 200 tons of water per second.
- The system is open to visitors, but a tour guide is required.

This here, as well as proper waste disposal system and urban planning would fix the problem.

How do you plan for natural disasters. I ve worked both in lekki and vi. The flooding happens because there is continuous rainfall for hours. By Nigeria standard, those areas get planning and drainages. If you want to be surprised, check the same place, one hour after rain, the water will be gone.

Lagos is below sea level. It will happen one day the sea will reclaim it land.



Being below sea level is not the problem, and Lagos is NOT actually below sea level. Rather, the city is 1 meter ABOVE sea level. Amsterdam, on the other hand, is very well below sea level by as much as 2 meters.

Scam government propagandists. Firms that are owned by private individuals. Which one is the government of the drug criminal, Tinubu building?

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.

I don't listen to thieves.

This vagabond was jailed alongside his wife, his sister in-law, his mistress who was married to another man as at that time, and his lawyer who helped him to hide stolen money. That's an unbeatable Guinness Record

You have bad mouth, walahi! grin cheesy smiley

What's the colour of the person on my profile, please?

MercyStan:
I'm about to share something I've never revealed before.

I'm currently in my late twenties and ever since I was a kid I have been able to see a part of human being that others can't.

When I look at a person, I don't just see the physical body but I also see an extra layer of what looks like thin coloured smoke. I can't feel the smoke but I can see it. When I come close to the person it appears like a hologram of sorts.

The colour of the smoke depends on the individual. But for most people it's a light orange smoke. I've seen very few people with black smoke and even fewer people with white smoke.

However there are people that don't have this smoke. All I see is a body and nothing else. I have now come to theorize that these group of people aren't humans, or have no soul; human or otherwise.

I can also detect this colored smoke on photos and videos taken on newer cameras and phones like Android and iPhones. I don't see this colored smoke when I look at pictures I took with my blackberry, symbian and older Nokia phones

I can't detect this colored smoke in people in old movies but I can see in on people in recent movies and on current television.

Also when I come in physical contact with the people that don't have this colored smoke I feel an instant sharp coldness that lasts a second; like when you touch iceblock and immediatelyremove your hand. I always avoid these people.

Feel free to ask me any questions, and you can also show me a picture of a person and I can tell you what color of smoke I see on them and if I don't see any smoke on them I'll tell you.
