They just suddenly realised that Saraki is British when he upset APC hierarchy. As if they didn't know Saraki's dual nationality status before.

May be if one day Femi Kuti sings to offend APC, they will start telling us too that he was born in London.

hahaha...

Sahara tv the new propaganda arm. First saraki, then this... they should rebrand and become nta then

His new name is SARAKILLER... ... and he's my guy #in ice prince's aboki voice

Odehfamily:
Buhari is slow.

Buhari is slow....Refineries: Refineries are about to start full operation.

Buhari is slow....Subsidy: Oil Marketers have fallen in line.

Buhari is slow....Wastage: He has ordered the sales of Presidential jets.

Buhari is slow.....Indiscipline: Saraki is fidgetting because of fear of unknown.

Buhari is slow....Anti-Corruption: Jonathanians have started returning their loots.

Buhari is slow....Security: Buhari has released over N4billion to fight Boko Haram.

Buhari is slow....Accountability: Buhari has ordered for statement of bank accounts of all federal ministries.

Buhari is slow....Synergism: He has visited not less than 10 countries all in a bid to nip Boko Haram in the bud.

Left to me, I prefer this type of slowliness to hastiness without direction. So, Baba make you just dey go slooooowly slooooowly sloooowly like that jare.

Please, are we in the same country?
1... this is naija, wait till refineries start
2... oil marketers fell in line ba? I guess the fuel stations have off days in lagos... they have been playing their own game with the masses and I see no order yet
3... no order has been issued to sell jets... it was refuted by the media spokesman
4... I saw pics of saraki breaking fast the other day, he didn't break a sweat
5... which loot have jonathan's men returned and how much is it?
6... 4 billion to fight boko haram? ... things are actually now worse on that front since take over
7...he's doing the same exact thing you guys criticised Jonathan for by visiting countries and using diplomacy. I thought he was going to drive a tank himself judging from the pre-election rhetoric

Summary: Nothing has really changed but we are hopeful and this pre-election type of propaganda is not what we need for this givt to succeed.
Nb: I like how buhari stayed away of NASS politics... very good... but he needs to speed up before some fools start taking him fir granted

All this talk talk and there is still no fuel in lagos

baby124:
It's either Saraki is expelled and a court decision fast tracked on this matter or Buhari will lose reelection. And at the end of the day Saraki will port to the party that looks like it has momentum to keep his mandate. By letting this impunity stand, Buhari is showing that he is weak, and we don't want a weak president. All party decisions must be abided by. He must do something about this. if the senate and HOR are aggrieved, his presidency is completely useless. We will not move forward. This is what PDP wants to regain power. And they will get power back

how exactly is buhari weak?

Falana is a closet apc member in the tinubu camp and is frankly a disgrace... he decides to be deaf and dump when it suits them and his morality activates when it doesn't.
and I was beginning to wonder since this drivel about party anointing candidates is being supported by a known 'human rights' lawyer, does the assembly belong to the party or to all Nigerians as represented by the senators and reps?
The loyalty of the role are to constituencies, not party... and anybody can aspire and persevere to be anything..
... just like buhari

That's the extent of your primitive thinking. So because servants do it in Nigeria, then it's not a sign of confidence? Have you ever seen a boss walk around a company? I guess not. Sometimes they will have their hands behind their back. Let me school you some more:

People in leadership positions often hold their hands behind their back... it's a pose that shows power, and confidence, as it exposes the vulnerable parts of the body. It also improves your posture and opens up the air ways, so you gain more energy and feel more confident as you do this. -simplybodylanguage.com

Hands behind the back: When you see someone standing with his hands behind his back, then know that he is probably feeling confident. He may be feeling confident because he is a confident person or because he believes he’s on top of matters in a current situation. Maybe the people he’s talking with are talking about a topic he’s well-familiar with. -2knowmysyself.com

A common confident pose with hands is held lightly in front or behind the back (this is typical of royalty and presidents). -changingminds.org

story story... my primitive thinking abi... una no dey tire to dey insult people for nothing.
anyway... you didn't need three unverified websites to prove your point, just look at the pic, look at the other guys... i'm not saying people cant put their hands behind their back, it happens normally but when i see it repeatedly, i begin to wonder ... and i'm satisfied with the explanation that he's ex-military

raphoo:
remember that PMB is a retire military officer.

that explains it, old habits die hard I guess

aflyingbird:
Putting your hands behind your back like that is a sign of confidence. He did not look aloof, he looked confident. His stance alone gives it away.

if you said its the stance of an ex-general of the army, I will agree but sign of confidence? No no
Put your hands by the sides where everyone can see them, its people that receive orders like servants that put their hands together behind and in front like people tied with rope

Why is Pmb's hands always behind his back? and that group pic looked anything but gallant, he looked rather aloof, isolated in the wrong crowd
but I like his trady

This poster is a joker, that luth ard strike link is a 2012 link! I think its only abuth docs that are on strike

Attention seekers abound- trekkers, tree climbers now religious defectors...ok o

This is the perfect response to lai mohammed's childish outbursts...

So you dumodust will know better than me that knew him from birth. Will know better than me his sister that knows his entire medical history. Will know better than me who is privy to his autopsy that was carried out on Thursday last week. Better watch yourself o!!! And stop posting crap. I am not a protesting student ok.

Ok, missus sister, sorry about your loss, please accept our condolences
but I must ask again, what was the outcome of the autopsy? cause of death please?
And I'm not posting crap. I am a man that deals with facts not hearsay before I judge people. Or do you expect me to just accept the story and start raining curses on people i haven't met before?
Its easy to come to nairaland and drag people's name and reputation through the mud, but you dont want to be asked questions by people who may understand what went wrong. It's best a medical tribunal or court passes judgement and I insist that the medical staff may have done or taken decisions you didn't understand and still may not have done any wrong within the rules and limits of the medical profession.
That is why autopsies should be mandatory for such unexplained illnesses that take people away before anything can be done. Many people die within minutes or hours in hospitals even before you understand what is going on despite being on your feet and fir some illnesses, despite your best efforts, mortality is certain. An autopsy helps everybody understand what truly went wrong. If you knew already and are already in the public domain blaming the medical staff, its best you tell us then.

Boko haram=isis, giving them amnesty or discussing peace will give them time to recover and recruit. No amnesty, kill them all who dont surrender

The same people that called gej all sorts of names during his era dont want their idol to be criticised... double standards... if buhari cant stand the heat of being president, he should resign

9blast:
sir,I get the sense in what u re trying to say,for real,but trust me,Justin wasn't a sickle cell patient ok? An autopsy has been done already,we just need to inform the world.

ok, if you say so, lets take your word for it. What was the official cause of death after the autopsy?

SISI1:
He did not have sickle cell!!!!! He was AA

did you do his genotype yourself? Sickle cell disease has many variants apart from the popular SS. Even AS with other genetic haemoglobin issues may go undetected till a problem arises. Besides, in this era of faith healing, the mother needs to be questioned. I 've been in this situation before where I was told no sickle cell, but on further interrogation was told that a pastor binded, casted and and healed the patient, and if they say otherwise, it means their faith has failed and he will revert back. What nonense...
like I said, the best way to get facts is to investigate, do and autopsy and dont talk about what you dont know till we get info from reliable sources that are not irrational protesting uninformed students
Thanks

BARELY A DAY AFTER MY INITIAL WRITE UP ON THE GBENGA ALARAN AND JUSTIN YVES UKWU CASE, I HEARD THAT ANOTHER STUDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN DIED AS A RESULT OF NEGLECT AND REFUSAL BY HEALTH WORKERS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ILORIN TEACHING HOSPITAL TO ATTEND TO HER BECAUSE THEY ARE ON STRIKE.

IMAGINE, A TEACHING HOSPITAL IS ALSO PART OF THOSE WHO CHOSE TO IGNORE PATIENTS JUST BECAUSE THEY SAY THEY ARE ON STRIKE. I THOUGHT DOCTORS AND NURSES ARE MEANT TO SAVE LIVES FIRST AND ASK QUESTIONS LATER, GUESS I WAS WRONG!
HOW LONG WILL THESE CONTINUE? HOW LONG WILL WE CONTINUE TO LOSE LIVES OF INNOCENT INDIVIDUALS, BE IT STUDENTS OR NOT?

WE WANT REFORMS, WE KEPT ON CLAMOURING FOR CHANGE BUT THAT IS NOT HAPPENEING. WHO KNOWS WHO THE NEXT VICTIM MIGHT BE?

NOW PEOPLE GET SCARED ABOUT GOING TO HOSPITALS FOR CHECKUPS BECAUSE MOST OF THE HEALTH WORKERS ACT LIKE “TIN GODS”. IF IT’S NOT VERBAL ABUSE, IT’S GOING TO BE REFUSAL OF ATTENTION. ALL THESE HAS TO STOP, AND IT HAS TO START NOW, OR ELSE NIGERIAN STUDENT MIGHT BE FORCED TO RTAKE LAWS INTO THEIR OWN HANDS AND THE RESUT OF THAT WOULD BE FATAL.

CALLING FOR ALL HANDS TO BE ON DECK, ALL FORMS OF INJUSTICE BEING METTED OUT ON HOSPITAL PATIENTS HAS TO STOP, NOW!!!
MEANWHILE,I'LL GET MORE INFO ON THE UNILORIN STUDENT'S CASE.

SIGNED: AYOBAMI EMMANUEL

My guy, stop being an alarmist and stop putting up posts on hearsay because you can also be sued. If you don't know the true facts, desist from sensationalism to get attention. A word is enough for wise. Seek the opinion of medical personnel before posting what you do not understand. If you're too young to understand this, please seek legal opinion or simply get the aggrieved to sue and brief us on the outcome which is what will say who is wrong or right. Medical and dental council of nigeria is also an option, write a petition if you feel so but remember that once you maje the wrong accusations, you ass is on the line too
And I hope that you have health insurance because if you slump today and no back up... OYO... that's your government policy

#JUSTICE FOR JUSTIN
THE TRUE ACCOUNT FROM JUSTIN'S MOTHER
My son, Yves Justin Nnamdi Ukwu died on the 26th of may, 2015. He was a 200 level undergraduate student of international studies and diplomacy at the Benson Idahosa University, Benin, at the Health Plus Medical Center of the institution.
He was admitted at the medical centre on Sunday, May 24th, 2015, drips administered, no food given despite pleas from his school friends for food and further treatment/attention for him. His last words to me were Okay, Good night, I’m very tired now, at 21:20pm on Monday May 25th, 2015.
On Tuesday, May 26th, 2015 at 9:12am a phone call was placed to me from 08188781415 informing me that my son was being moved from the school Medical Center to their affiliated specialist Clinic, Faith Mediplex, to receive blood transfusion AND would be discharged that evening. I was assured that his condition was not serious and then proceeded to give his medical history of malaria spleen.
Unfortunately, from 12:17pm that day, I started receiving calls from Dr. Idahosa of Faith Mediplex, Benin, she said that my son’s condition was serious. I arrived Benin at 17:17hrs from Port Harcourt, traced Faith Mediplex and left unattended for over 30minutes. After much insistence on my part, I was eventually informed that my son had died of a sickle cell crisis at 2:15pm on that day, May 26, 2015. How can this have happened when my son was NOT a sickle cell patient? My genotype is AS while his father is AA.
QUESTIONS
1)Why was my son, Justin, kept on drips without food for his entire stay in the school medical centre despite the pleas of his friends?
2)The minimum PVC level required for blood transfusion in a human being is 45, why was Justin Ukwu still left unattended to when his PVC level dropped to 27?
3)Why was no call put through to his next of kin through out his ill health till 9:12am on 26/05/2015 when he was dying AND even then, the true state of his health NOT divulged?
4)Why was he denied proper medical attention? Even if he was a sickler, was the treatment given to him the right treatment for someone in that condition? Starvation, abandonment, verbal and physical abuse are definitely NOT integral parts in managing any illness.
5)Why is there such a concerted attempt to distort/deny that such an act of criminal negligence occurred from the primary care givers, the marina Consultants (HMO) and the Benson Idahosa University, Benin which has a chief Medical Director and whose parent body runs a specialist clinic, Faith Mediplex, which has surgeons, nurses and other medical staff who could have been seconded to the University Medical Centre.
My questions must be answered and until they are, I will continue to fight for justice for my beloved, caring, gentle son, Yves Justin Nnamdi Ineye Ukwu.
This tragedy must never reoccur,
# Justice for Justin.
Signed: Margaret Nnennaya Ekpeyong Ukwu MOTHER.

Condolences to the mother of the child but I also think her grief has made her in typical nigerian fashion to be apportioning blames to innocent people in the media. From this story alone, I see no evidence of medical negligence or wrong doing. Drips contain glucose and fluid and may suffice if the patient is not to be fed for several reasons. Any sickle cell patient in crisis is place on a drip because it's the fastest way to rehydrate him and prevent further crisis. normal people are not even transfused at pcv of 27 and for a sickle cell patient, at pcv of 22, we may not still transfuse for several reasons. Its not a joke that it is called sickle cell 'anaemia'- the patient is used to a low blood level. Some forms of crisis may require transfusion.
In conclusion, sickle cell anaemia patients are fragile, the outcome is always unpredictable, many die and sickle cell disease can affect all the body systems and cause harm, doctor's conclusions are in order.
This case wont last long in court
it is also sad that nigerians don't google and have no knowledge of sickle cell anaemia which is our affliction.

bobchigar:
It is pathetic that because many of us are living in peaceful part of this country we don't appreciate that peace. Those that are facing this will want everything possible to bring peace. This amnesty discussion was also tried by Jonathan administration but not succeeded. Although am not in support of granting them amnesty but tackling terrorism issues it is a gradual process with different strategies.

so tell me, will you negotiate with ISIS? Because that's what boko haram is now... this people have killed thousands, sacked villages, created a caliphate... and you want to give them amnesty? Their mission was clear from the beginning and the only solution for such a virus is to murder them all

socialmediaman:
This story is to be taken for what it is: mere propaganda. It was PDP who were speculating that Festus Keyamo was an APC sympathizer and should not be prosecuting a case involving an APC party member.

What's your point exactly? Keyamo is actually an apc member and not mere sympathiser... he once participated in apc senatorial primaries I guess, in delta state... check
he may have withdrawn because of conflict of interest

MrJanuzaj:
.


Good boy gone bad!!!. You need a job to cater for your needs, this your current one is so disgusting. You are gradually losing it. Change its a candid advise

he saying the truth... all his assertions are right party affiliations aside. amaechi is doing the wrong things and the change merchants are suddenly quiet. talk of selective critism...smh

Uteghe:
Akpabio has failed

how exactly? you cant just come to conclusions on your own without reasons... that hospital is a better investment for the people that all the road scams you see around being touted as achievements.

NgeneUkwenu:
These are the reasons why Wike will not dare to dissolve the newly elected LG Chairmen without going through the tedious route of the Judiciary.

1. Rule Of Law: Barring any unforeseen circumstances, May 29th will mark a Turning point in Nigeria's nascent democracy, when the amiable and people general Muhammadu Buhari will return to power the second time. Buhari known for his strict adherence to Rule of Law will not condone any act of brigandage from Nyesom Wike or any of his lieutenants, and wike will not like to dare him either. Whatever it is wike feels about the election should be channeled through the court just like Peterside Dakuku, his main rival in April 11 election was advised to do.

The Police and Lawful Order: Just like the first point above, No commissioner of police Under the government of Buhari Post May, will be willing to carry out any unlawful order that is contrary to the Rule Of Law. So Wike's hope of using the police or the military to effect the removal of the LG Chairmen will collapse on his head.

Tinubu's Treatment: Should Wike goes ahead to square up with Buhari's commitment to the Rule of Law by unilaterally dissolving or removing the Local Chairmen, I am sorry, Wik e will have to make to do with State's allocation to fund the local governments, as the statutory allocation for the LG will be kept in a special account pending when normalcy and legitimacy returns to the LG.

Absence Of Jonathan and His Wife: Wike may have been used to the life, where he gets everything arranged, fixed and cornered for him, owing to the impunity in governance of his "Jesus of Okrika" and her husband are noted for. This time around, he will have adjust to a new life, where his supposedly enemy, the Lion of Ubima, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi will be fully and firmly in charge of the "home affairs". So no cover for the "Wicked" here!

The Law Of Karma: In a saner Clime, person like Wike would have been cooling in himself in one of the dilapidated prisons dotting our land, pending when the State DPP finish preparing his murder charges. But hell no! This is a Nigeria of PDP, where murderers, Drug Peddlers, thieves and ex Convicts are rewarded with public posts to keep them afloat. Or how else could one best describe a situation, where someone who has been universally adjudged to have benefited from the worst electoral process in Nigeria, in which more than 94 Nigerians were alleged to have been killed, coming out to say he was not going to accept a mere LG election, because his party was defeated or he was not allowed to make use of the State machineries?

Consequently, with above points in mind, there is no way, Wike should unilaterally contemplate of dissolving the newly constituted LG authorities without recourse to the Rule Of Law by going to the court to seek redress.

Article written by Miss NgeneUkwenu:

sorry to say this but you haven't made any points or sense with your write up. sounds more emotional and party oriented, more of wishful thinking. what exactly is the law? if amaechi could suspend lg chairmen at will then what will prevent wike from doing so?

oshiomole did something similar recently which shows that wike has every right to do so

Uteghe:
One hospital in eight years: that's the definition of failure.

one big very well equipped hospital that will serve as a tertiary referral centre is worth 50 of those small painted halls you call primary health care centres that some governors commission and Nigerians will be clapping for them. healthcare is really capital intensive and this is commendable. i hope they will be able to maintain it and ordinary folks can afford it. manpower will be another issue and i hope crony-ism will not defeat its purpose. the state govts should look towards improving health insurance.
btw i'm really amazed at the content... i see machines inside!!! kudos akpabio

wow... those who published these accounts must think Nigerians are stupid
i saw billions allocated for a pedestrian bridge
even road rehabilitation costs billions...wow

charlesucheh:
I see you've got problems with understanding mine too. The JEGA recommendation has been the only suggestion with seriousness.

I 'm not saying you're wrong, wasn't yabbing you o...I was alluding to the fact that you were probably taking the guy you quoted too seriously, the guy that was recommending atiku, tinubu etc ...read his post again, he was saying exactly the opposite of what he was referring to... he was finding trouble

charlesucheh:
they'll just use it as a tool to bring down their enemies. Dem no go mind plant money for person house call am ; MONEY LAUNDERING.

Nigerians, you guys just cant understand sarcasm

2sex:
Well, everyone is different. I have never placed much emphasis on sex since I started dating. I could make a lady enjoy it but truth be told, that's where it ends for me never attached to it. Whether you say no or yes to sex, just learn how to co-ordinate your disposition in order not to mar whatever values I may have for you as a lady. I have only met two ladies whom I respect and it's not because of sex.

I have ended relationships that sex wasn't involved. Why? Simply attitude. That's the only thing that can make me respect a woman. So bro, safe all these epistle for guys who worship sex. I don't!

If a lady like say no sex till marriage, I could agree easily to that term but if your attitude stinks so much, be very sure to get a red card from me and I will tell that lady to get out of my life, especially if she has nothing to offer or values to contribute, or something valuable I could learn from her.

The earlier you guys stop attaching much importance to sex, the better for your wellbeing.

In essence, I will not be attracted to lady because she says no to sex... never had, never will. Besides those how give in to the sex are less of a headache than those who don't, majority I suppose and that's my experience.

you made sense... I wonder why all the emphasis on sex that is everywhere, What happens after she finally gives u the hallowed v on the wed night? Will you go to heaven... no I guess, more likely you will snap back to reality and evaluate your options.. sex is actually a test if u succeed in getting through, the best time to know whether you actually like the babe is after..lol... anyway, some people don't actually give in because their hearts are cold and locked up ... just saying

Buchukwu:
My father was affected by the Nepa sack after the company was privatised, he hasn't forgiven GEJ since then, he normally tells us about his colleagues that were sacked and how they're now suffering. That's the worst thing GEJ did, its just TOO BAD

sorry about your dad and colleagues but that privatisation had to be done... the old phcn was disorganised and inefficient, these new discos have better administration and accountability... it remains for power generation to improve, no going back
