The problem with all these is that there is no research to prove veracity of the traditional bone setters claim. There is also no uniform benchmark or standards for who can be described as a 'traditional bone setter' or what are the universal equipment/tools employed in the TBS practice. If that is handled well, with evidence-based and verifiable research to boot, we would know its strengths and limitations - and also be able to export our traditional techniques to the world. All these claims I'm reading here right now are more like who can 'shout' more 'convincingly'. Until questionnaires are filled and biostatistics done, it wouldn't be more than some cacophony before the expectant intellectual public. Forget what it seems. No two illnesses are exactly the same. What works or worked for A may be markedly different from what would work with B. Four people can come with orthopaedic issues: A may have co-morbid diabetes while B doesn't have diabetes but has overwhelming sepsis. C may just have a simple fracture of the femur while D has comminuted fracture of the thigh with hypertension and chronic kidney injury. No 'traditional bone setter' can treat ALL FOUR OF THEM: A, B C & D under the same roof with 100% success in 4 of them. Impossible. That's why we need statistics. How to resolve it is easy. Just to do what has been written above. Let's get the confidence interval of what we are saying and we'll be good to go. |
igbodefender:As the social media is the fifth realm, right? These effects are only very important when there is am EDUCATED citizenry with BASIC life needs assured. That however isn't the case in Nigeria. The media is insecure. 90% of Nigerians are below poverty line. Media is all but 'bought' by the highest bidder(s) in Nigeria - in spite of the FOI Bill. Daring media houses like NEXT have been run into extinction. Where is TELL & TheNews? The Nigerian (largely youth) citizenry enjoys very mediocre things like sex discussions, objectification of the female gender, criminal activities like Internet fraud in the name of 'hustling' and all manners of trite activities. Nigeria currently lacks the necessary CRITICAL MASS of young people with vision, education and direction who require experience to drive national goals. Where such exist, they are either hamstrung, harried, ignored or driven into the periphery or abroad by the current unfavourable realities of the day. So when we talk about Realms of the Estate, the value of that phrase is currently lost on Nigerians - especially with our almost non-existent Educational values. PS: 90% of those who come by this may not read it to its end. No, Nigerians 'hate' EPISTLES. So how do we improve when we don't read to engage ourselves and enlarge our horizons? |
meobizy:You missed the point - of the front page subject. You saw through the pinhole. |
True Kaffy, except that DANCE isn't Nigeria's problem. So while you are right Kaffy, dancing - and the money around the entertainment industry in Nigeria - has definitely created some sense of self-esteem and income for some women and men IN LAGOS STATE essentially. But people are hungry, distressed and disillusioned from a lack of virtually everything in an overpopulated Nigeria with little or no leadership direction. Now that is our problem Ma. Not exactly DANCE. This is one of that: https://twitter.com/AgudaKayode/status/1128686317406228480 So while you are right about your assessment, the truth is that only the super rich (less than 0.0001% of the Nigerian population) can indeed feed money into the dance industry. The other sector that feeds money in are the poor people themselves who may buy forms or whatever to get into 'dance schools' or 'dance competitions'. But abeg, who dance epp in Nigeria today? Our grandmothers have been dancing since 1960 o. We are here... But yes, in a better-organised society, yes, Dance is important stress relief, massive entertainment and a great way to unwind. |
Kentrasso:Okay Ma'am. Do you feel better now? Would my divorce help or improve anything around you? Can we be more subtle and more peaceful in approach to life, especially when it is online and doesn't affect us directly, like this? Even when it affects us directly in the real world, there are no alternatives to peace. That I didn't write elaborately about both genders shouldn't entirely suggest that I'm chauvinist to a peaceful person. Marriage is about two people - and the delicate balance of it is about two imperfect people working at hard at each other continually, and for a life time. Now that known, being a partnership, is there likely to be a lead partner? Possibly so. How do we go into a relationship where there is likely to be a senior partner? Is the senior partner likely to demonstrate alpha character? Possibly. How is that navigated peacefully and productively? It is a skill. Where is it honed? At home. Where is it ultimately put to initial use? In the courtship/relationship - especially the male is wooing the female. That's where a virtuous woman puts her own building blocks in place. Once that is done, a man - alpha or not - respects his bride permanently, even if he is a lion everywhere else. Peace Ma'am, peace. |

Omihanifa:Thank you very much jare. Guardian wrote 'graduate'. I knew the story was simply incomplete. |
KingRabota:Exactly what I thought as I watched the video. Aside the fact that she may have lost any accent she may have acquired in the past, her grammar doesn't sound like someone who has lived with the native speakers. Full respects to the hardworking woman, but I really think the story is incomplete. That said, I think there are possibly 33 - 75 million people like her all over Nigeria. That the population of Ghana more than 3 times over and more than the population of the United Kingdom. As Nigerians, we must realize the enormity of our societal problems and take drastic steps to address it. First, we must return this country to true Federating or even Confederating units. This is otherwise known as RESTRUCTURING. We must go back to our organization as it was before the first military coup in January 1966, where each region took care of itself quite independently. Let us let our States take care of themselves. Let's reduce the content of the Exclusive list!!! |
I hope I'm mistaken. Reading of a previous divorce involving the bride made this an important find. From the wedding invite, it appears the new bridegroom add well as the bridegroom (who is previously divorced) are both products of broken homes. Its a sad situation today with more and more broken marriages. Men are always going to be men: alpha and dominant. Our women must be careful about their choices of marriage too. If you deceive a man by pretending about your character and outlook of life before marriage, you are definitely laying foundations for a chaotic marriage. There is also little gain in 'If he doesn't put a ring on it, he can't ask for character or input'. That's putting the cart before the horse. A good woman who is self-reliant would have no problems exhibiting it at any time, before or after marriage. The world is worsening by the day with failed marriage as well as 'baby daddy' and 'baby mummy' ideas. I am not blaming those who are unfortunate to have endured or are going through divorces or bad marriages. These people must consider a personal evaluation of character. This is more about younger people who are yet to get married. A fruit never falls too far from the tree! |
Let's balance the information. Media trial helps nobody. https://www.sportsvillagesquare.com/2019/05/08/we-are-being-blackmailed-distracted-from-preparing-nigerian-teams-nff-cries-out/ WE ARE BEING BLACKMAILED, DISTRACTED FROM PREPARING NIGERIAN TEAMS, NFF CRIES OUT 3 HOURS AGO BY KUNLE SOLAJA The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has once again cried out that it is being blackmailed about an alleged legal charges filed against its leadership by the Federal Government of Nigeria. The charges are allegedly targeted at Amaju Melvin Pinnick, the NFF President; Seyi Akinwunmi, the 1st Vice President; Shehu Dikko, the 2nd Vice president; Ahmed Yusuff aka ‘Fresh’ and Mohammed Sanusi, the General Secretary of the NFF. The NFF is currently preparing Nigerian teams to different international competitions across the world for the next two months while its attentions are being distracted. The Flying Eagles, currently abroad, are to take part FIFA U20 World Cup in Poland later this month. The Super Falcons are to begin their quest for title in Women’s World Cup in France early June while Nigeria’s lead football brand, Super Eagles return to challenge for continental title for the first time in five years. At the same time, the U23 teams are being prepared to face Sudan next month in the quest to qualify for the 2020 Olympics Games. According to a statement issued by the football federation, “NFF denies that FG has filed any such charges. “NFF states that the orchestrated media blitz about the existence of such charges is nothing but the desperate and malicious efforts of the Chief Okoi Obono-Obla led Special Presidential Investigative Panel (SPIP) to lend itself as an instrument of cheap blackmail in the fight for the political leadership of NFF. The NFF stated that currently pending before the Federal High Court, Abuja is Suit No. FHC/ABJ/CS/17/2019 filed by NFF against SPIP and three others, including Chief Obono-Obla himself. NFF, in the suit, is challenging the competence of SPIP under the law to purport to investigate or prosecute NFF or its leadership. According to the statement signed by Dr. Suleman Yahaya Kwade, the Chairman, NFF Media and Publicity Committee, “when the matter came up for hearing on April 20, 2019, Barrister Celsus Ukpong, the lawyer representing SPIP wrote a letter applying for an adjournment of the matter, as he could not appear in court for official reasons. The suit was accordingly adjourned to May 13, 2019 for definite hearing. “It is an issue that must befuddle the mind and be of great concern to all Nigerians that the same SPIP should, against the foregoing background then proceed to allegedly file charges in the name of the FGN before the same Federal High Court while the pending suit filed by NFF against it is yet to be determined. “It should now be clear to all that the SPIP under Chief Obono-Obla is acting in contempt of the laws and Courts of Nigeria. “Even more deplorable is the fact that its legal representatives will employ deception in dealing with the Court of Law regarding a suit to which it is a party and fully represented in court. “The determination of SPIP and Chief Okono-Obla to act unlawfully and in undisguised bias against NFF and its leadership is well documented and forms the basis of NFF’s petition to the Hon. Attorney-General and Minister of Justice since January 2019, as well joining the office of the Hon. Attorney-General in all the suits we have filed against SPIP. “We are confident that this regrettable matter will be appropriately dealt with in the due course. “We wish to state categorically that the charges filed by SPIP are frivolous and totally baseless. “They are aimed only at scandalising the NFF and its leadership and nothing more, in order to mislead the unwary and uninformed. “This is evident from the great facility with which the news of the charges which were registered at the court’s registry today, May 7, 2019, have been widely disseminated by SPIP and its collaborators. “For instance, SPIP alleges that the leadership of NFF moved N4Billion (Four Billion Naira) from NFF on 3 November 2018. “The maliciousness and falsity of this charge is established by the fact that the alleged sum is about four times the 2018 NFF Appropriation in the FGN budget as approved by the National Assembly, which in total was N1.14 Billion (One Billion, One Hundred and Fourteen Million Naira), out of which only about N700m (Seven Hundred Million Naira) was cash-backed for the entire 2018 financial year. “It is also on record that since June 2018 till date NFF has only received N110m (One Hundred and Ten Million Naira only) from FGN (which was received only in February, 2019). “This is in spite of the fact that NFF has prosecuted about 30 international matches involving the various national teams, (Super Eagles, Falcons, U23 Men Team, U20 Boys, U17 Eaglets, U20 Girls (Falconets), Supersand Eagles etc), requiring the NFF to raise funds independently to supplement the funds from the FGN. “Another example of the desperation and wickedness motivating these false allegations is the SPIP allegation that, in 2014 “during the FIFA World Cup at Abuja”, FIFA appearance fees paid by FIFA was converted to personal use. “This is despite the fact that there was no FIFA World Cup in Abuja in 2014, a naked fact known to the whole world. “The consuming determination to achieve the goal of slandering the NFF and smearing the reputation of its leadership has made these elements blind to simple facts and reckless. “We wish to state that none of the persons in the leadership of NFF or Executive Committee are signatories or in control of NFF accounts as those roles are exclusively reserved and performed by directors and personnel appointed by FGN from the offices of the Accountant-General of the Federation and Auditor-General of the Federation. “Also, NFF under Amaju Pinnick, has since 2014, kept true financial records of NFF Funds as audited by its external auditors PwC (PrieceWaterHouseCoopers) and has taken the extra step of publishing the audited accounts in national newspapers for public consumption and records. “Furthermore, FIFA has consistently given a clean bill of health to NFF regarding its management of FIFA funds. FIFA has never alleged any fraud or misappropriation of its resources or funds made available to NFF and has continued to engage the NFF in its normal operational transactions. “It is important, and interesting, to note that the proposed list of witnesses of SPIP consists entirely of the names of the same persons who have publicly been engaged in fighting the duly elected leadership of NFF, including the forceful takeover of the NFF office in July 2018, the filing of multiple suits to stop the NFF elections of September 20, 2018 in Katsina and the presentation of the same false petitions to all the law enforcement agencies in Nigeria. “This should say a lot about these false allegations and the manner of persons actively working in cahoots with Chief Obon-Obla led SPIP to discredit the NFF and its leadership evidently to achieve what they failed to do through the ballot box – which is to effect a change of leadership in in the NFF. “However, it is much to be regretted that these elements have also sought to embarrass our sponsors, partners and consultants in their unholy and desperate gambit to achieve their condemnable efforts to bring NFF and its leadership into public disrepute having failed in all their machinations to take over its leadership. “We wish to assure that our legal team is fully engaged with this matter in order to defeat these baseless and politically motivated attack on the NFF and its leadership. “We are confident that at the end of the day the truth will prevail, this mission of destruction will fail and Nigeria football will triumph over this conspiracy. “ |
DrTee1:http://saharareporters.com/2019/05/07/kidnapped-oau-professor-regains-freedom Subject to further confirmation, this news is cheering. The good Professor has been released. We thank God!!! |
Please help us. Professor 'Ponzetti' is an easy-going man who must not be allowed to go the way Professor Olomo has gone for about 6 years. Prof is a very kind man who specializes in the management of paediatric clubfoot, amongst other orthopaedic conditions. The government should kindly help. All doctors should consider going on strike to get this resolved... |
It is the nature of the world. A little curved for either gender: positively and negatively. Note that nobody is talking about the other way round, where a man picks his wife's call... The query is about women who intercept their husband's communication channels... |
seborrhic: ![]() I fully agree with you. |
Stillthebest:Thank you for your reply. I meant SunnySky really. Interestingly, we are yet to speak but I got his number. Cheers. |
seborrhic:Easy Seb, easy. Indonesia is like Nigeria. Poor, corruption-ravaged and over-populated. When we had Abacha, they had Suharto. Both despots and savage. I agree with you, but what do we do na? Small time, they'll say all that this medical people know is to criticize too much... I can feel the dermatology in your moniker - so I know you are a medically-oriented fellow. Cute brain and critical thinking! |
The bolded got me laughing so hard that tears were dropping from my eyes... Olanrewaju said the chemical used in poisoning the dam, which was the only source of water for the university, killed all the aquatic animals in it. However, the PRO said the dam had been treated and was now safe for consumption. He said: “The act is condemnable and wicked. How can a group of people poison the only dam where the over 36,000-strong university population was drinking from. The act is genocidal and wicked. “They came through the Parakin area of the town to poison the dam but God was so good to us that immediately the dam was poisoned, rain fell for two days which washed the poisonous chemical away. “We have treated the water and laboratory test had been done on it and now it is very safe to drink.” How can we bring religion and science together in this manner Greatest Ife, so if it didn't rain "for two days", (so 48 hours continuous rainfall was what was needed to de-contaminate the water?!) the University water managers cannot handle such contamination? Wait, who was there when the water was 'poisoned' by the way, or who tested the poisoned water that confirmed that the water was indeed 'poisoned'? Wait o, so nobody drank the water during the 2 days rainfall? |
Saao:This is almost impossible to believe! Wtf?!! |
Buckubuck:On this, I completely DISAGREE with Bubu (Buhari) This is analogue mentality. Rather than look for first republic cattle nonsense routes, for cattle to harass people on their own lands, why not provide mordern alternatives to cattle rearing than normadic activity? He himself has at least 150 cattle. Do they move around plundering other people's farmlands? All land belongs to State Governors. How can the President accuse a governor of 'desire to be rich' for people establishing farms in their communities? If it was road, school or hospitals, would the President blame the government for establishing same along 'first republic' cattle routes 'with veterinary? How many veterinary doctors per capita of cattle did we have IN THE WHOLE OF NIGERIA in the first republic? Even today, how many? How does Bubu say these things? I empathise with Prof Yemi. He evidently takes a lot of things he ordinarily night not have taken. That's apparently the height of loyalty. This is low, very low, and suggests indeed that when the President speaks spontaneously about things that are his original or indigenous ideas, he sometimes comes about as shockingly low. When the greatest countries in the world today do cattle ranching and the cattle don't move around at all? Our own president is talking 1965 - and before he was born Should we all in Nigeria go back to caves as or was before anyone was born? How does the President justify anything with this comments?On this, I am with Governor Ortom and the PDP voting majority of Benue State. Now, I understand why that kept APC out of the government house there. How can the President of the country say this? Did he personally visit Benue to spread with the people in that period, like he is doing currently in UAE? A President should be proactive and be mordern. He should resonate with the reality of the immediate period and feel the pulse of the people. If voting was done online in Nigeria, like Estonia which is almost entirely digitalised, people like Bubu wouldn't win a second term. Not at all. I think Bubu was possibly the best Presidential candidate option from the last election, but this isn't good. |
Nicklaus619:I simply answered a question by Ccanyawu. It didn't give information about me going there. |
Ccanyanwu:http://preparationforlife.com/service/Registration-Fee/1654 The advertised figure there is a whooping 500,000 naira, for students interested in Canada. ![]() |
nevilbot:He was mine too. ![]() |
SunnyskyTG:You are a brilliant guy @Stillthebest. I just read every single comment you've ever with on NL - and putting that by your NL signature, I really think we agree on very many fronts. I'll like us to talk more and get to relate more, especially on social development as it affects Nigeria. Do you use Twitter? |
formular2002:You are an elder, and a wise man. Can we speak, please? I'll love to learn from you. |
johnie:Yes. I was indeed mistaken. Thank you. |
akinhanger:That's Baba Alayande, if I'm not mistaken. Then to Baba's right, behind is late Oba Festus Ibidapo Adedinsewo (FIA) Adesanoye, the late Osemawe of Ondo Kingdom with his wife, Olori Anike to his right in yellow headgear. On Chief MKO's left is his late wife Kudirat. |
new2012:Thank you. |
new2012:Now I see this is something else. Do have a pleasant day. |
new2012:You've got energy Meth, really, to dissipate. ![]() You can have the floor, senior citizen. ![]() |
new2012:Thank you Meth(uselah)! ![]() |
new2012:I'm having a hard time finding your cogent point. If and when I do, I intend to address same very politely. Warm regards. |
But what does Audu Ogbe's first degree have to do with this all, even if every other criticism is true? There are too many people who read a different course as their first undergraduate degrees before taking a different career trajectory in life. Too many. The current Minister for Trade and Investment, Dr. Okechukwu Enelamah earned a Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) from the University of Nigeria, Nsukka in 1985. He earned a Master's degree in Business Administration (MBA) from Harvard University in 1994 where he was a Baker Scholar and Loeb Fellow.[3] He is a member of ICAN (1992) and became a CFA in 1997.[4] He earned Dean’s List honours in his MBBS graduating class at the University of Nigeria (meaning he was one of the best graduating medical doctors in his undergraduate class), and was awarded national prizes in the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Nigeria (ICAN) examinations. (meaning he had one of the best qualifying results as a chartered accountant when he changed career). Enelamah worked as an Audit Senior and Consultant with 1988 at Arthur Anderson (now KPMG Professional Services). He later worked in the New York and London offices of Goldman Sachs in 1993 before joining Zephyr Management as an investment manager where he rose to Principal in the Johannesburg office between 1995 and 1997.[5] Enalamah founded African Capital Alliance (ACA), a private equity firm, in 1997 where he served as CEO until his appointment to the Industry, Trade, and Investment portfolio in November 2015 by President Muhammadu Buhari. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Okechukwu_Enelamah Minister Audu Ogbe's work description is Politician and Farmer, according to Wiki. As of 2009, he was chairman and managing director, Efugo Farms, Makurdi. Even if he lied about people importing pizza from England, what does that have to do with his undergraduate degree? Reno was once in government. If they had converted Nigeria to Rwanda, not even UAE or Malaysia, in effectively handling the politics and economy, his party and principal wouldn't have been voted out of office. Finally, it may not be false that some Nigerians, the super noveau-riche, may indeed be importing pizza from England when they crave for it. It may be an infinitesimal fraction of our population, but it doesn't mean it cannot happen - for crying out loud. Didn't a Nigerian artiste release a hit track about travelling to a European city just for a meal? Sometimes, or often times, Politicians get abysmally low in going against themselves. Interestingly, they do all that to get the attention of the public. In their closets, they are all friendly and they respect themselves. This is a Reno who parades himself as a Christian leader by the way. Where did he read that Jesus did this? |
