Why is France sad?
They should rest joor!
Your submarines are old school and very limited, you don't have the capacity to build mordern nuclear powered powerful submarines to counter Chinese threats, US and Uk stepped in to help and now you are screaming betrayal! Tahhh.
They should getat!!

France actually has about the most advanced nuclear tech. They discovered it anyway. It was about reneging on a previous agreement.

What are you saying? What did he say that is wrong? Nigerians major problem is that we forget too easily. Although buhari's govt is worse, it was because of the numerous failures of the Jonathan's govt especially in security that made Nigerians vote the monumental failure (buhari) into office. Left to me, we shouldn't be thinking of Jonathan neither tinubu or atiku. He should not even think of contesting again in order to Savage what is left of his image.

Never ever, ever blame Buhari's failure on anything else than his absolute lack of any form of leadership skills.

GeneralPula:
Jonathan does not have any good name..

Nigeria was in shambles during Jonathan too. It’s not as if he did anything better..

You must have a very short term memory to even compare Nigeria's state then and now.
All economic indices are there to show that we are in a much worse condition now.
This week alone over 200 people have lost their lives in northern Nigeria. More than the number of girls abducted in Chibok.

Bro!! I'm also a medical student with few friends studying in Europe. It's a two way thing sha, it largely depends on the country you're going to study, whether you'd get a license to practise after you're done or not. Like Ukraine, you can't practise because of language barriers and others so you'd have to return to your country and trust me, mdcn exam no too easy to pass so .. studying in Nigeria has its advantages too, you go know "stuff" seriously. They may say naija na scam and all oo but naija medical school is a field that prepares you to practise medicine anywhere in the world. I'm in clinicals so I can say so for sure. Please, do just run to any mushroom country in Europe to study medicine oo, your best bet might be to come back to Nigeria after you're done so... If I'm to advice as a senior colleague, just finish this MBBS here, you're almost done. The only issue that lies before you now is path and pharm, after that you're already a doctor so... After you finish, you can confidently seat for any licensing exam and be sure you'd do well. But then, if you don't intend to practise medicine, you're just looking for survival then I'd suggest you japa sharply. I just hope I passed my message well. Good luck bro

Finally someone with first hand experience is talking.

Best advice.

Eastern and Western Europe are different.

A Nigerian medical certificate is still valued and licensing exams will be easier for him to pass.

What do you hope to achieve by joining?
If it is money then better take any of the licensing exams and leave.
If you are genuinely passionate then give it a shot

This makes me really question why it is taking forever for the FG to complete the Enugu airport and why the international wing has been practically abandoned.

News from BBC UK just announced the passing away of HRH Duke of Edinburgh Prince Philip the husband of the queen of England.

Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II's husband, has died aged 99, Buckingham Palace has announced.

The prince married Princess Elizabeth in 1947, five years before she became Queen, and was the longest-serving royal consort in British history.

A statement from Buckingham Palace said: "It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

"His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle."

The couple had four children, eight grandchildren and 10 great-grandchildren.

The Queen is mourning the loss of her "strength and stay" the Duke of Edinburgh, Prince Philip, who has died aged 99 at Windsor Castle. He was two months from turning 100.

Prince Philip has died peacefully at Windsor Castle at the age of 99, just weeks after he was released from a London hospital and reunited with the Queen.

The Duke of Edinburgh, who had recently been treated for a pre-existing heart condition and an infection, died on Friday morning, just two months before his 100th birthday.

A statement from Buckingham Palace said: “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

"His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.

"Further announcements will made in due course. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss."

The flags in Downing Street were lowered to half-mast following the announcement.

The Duke of Edinburgh was once described by the Queen as her "strength and stay" and has been a constant presence by her side for more than 70 years.

Born in 1921, Philip served in the Royal Navy and has become known over the years for his jokes and gaffes.

After he first met the Queen, Elizabeth "never looked at anyone else" and once Philip proposed his destiny as royal consort was sealed.

Putting aside his own career ambitions, he proved his strong sense of duty serving the country through hundreds of engagements every year, refusing to stop working even in his 90s.

https://i2-prod.mirror.co.uk/incoming/article1263038.ece/ALTERNATES/s615b/Prince-Philip-The-Duke-Of-Edinburgh.png

He became patron or president of 800 organisations, founded the Duke of Edinburgh Awards in 1956 and won a place in the nation's hearts for his no-nonsense attitude and witty quips, or "gaffes".

He leaves behind four children, eight grandchildren and eight great-grandchilden.

Philip bowed out of public life in August 2017, retiring at the age of 96 with 22,219 solo engagements to his name.

It was perhaps an unexpected path for the boy born on June 10, 1921 on the Greek Island of Corfu and descended from Greek and Danish royalty.

While not exactly from humble beginnings, Philip's childhood gave no clue that he would one day be the longest-serving British royal consort and a key figure at the heart of the world's most famous Royal Family.

His mother was Princess Alice of Battenberg and his father was Prince Andrew of Greece and Denmark and he was their only son with four older sisters.

His family was exiled from Greece when he was a baby and Philip was educated in France, Germany and the UK.

He eventually joined the British Navy in 1939 age 18 and served in the British Forces during WWII.

Elizabeth and Philip became secretly engaged in 1946, but the formal engagement was delayed until Elizabeth turned 21 in April 1947.

He changed his name to Mountbatten - the anglicised version of Battenberg - before the wedding in order to sound more British and they were married in Westminster Abbey on November 20 1947.

It was not long before the couple became parents with the birth of Prince Charles in November 1948 shortly followed by Princess Anne in 1950.

But on February 6 1952, a huge responsibility fell on Elizabeth's young shoulders when her father died and she became Queen aged just 25.

From that moment Philip's life also changed as his role became to support Elizabeth in her official duties.

Much later he admitted to the BBC about the job: "There was no precedent. If I asked somebody, 'What do you expect me to do?' they all looked blank.

"They had no idea, nobody had much idea." Nevertheless he worked to carve out a niche for himself.

Two more children followed - Prince Andrew in 1960 and Prince Edward in 1964 - and Philip assumed the role as head of the household at home if not in official life.

In public, he may have walked a step behind his wife, but there can be no underestimating the importance of Philip to the Queen's reign.

As she said herself in a speech for their Golden Wedding anniversary in 1997: “He has, quite simply, been my strength and stay all these years, and I, and his whole family, and this and many other countries, owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim, or we shall ever know.”

Fake
Definitely fake

okeyglm:
this is public forum . it is actually ist fly over. what you normally see in Enugu is overpass bridge. have you been to abakiliki or awka or Onitsha that's where they have numerous flyovers. Enugu has no flyover.

Overpass is American, flyover is British English.
They are one and same

That is NOT the first flyover in Enugu.
Rather that is the first constructed by Ugwuanyi.

There are series of flyovers in Enugu as you enter the city from Enugu Port Harcourt or from Enugu Onitsha express.

There are also a couple within the city.

Anyone who has been to Enugu knows that.

That red is beyond horrendous.

Mandate belongs to the party, I thought that was Nigeria's electoral law.
That should stem all these defections.

Mass ignorance.
While this culture was once mainly due to the respect for the python. It has carried on and most indigenes still observe it but not necessarily as obligatory but as a laudable conservation practice.

I see this practice as a very important one that has sustained the balance in the ecosystem.
Ball pythons are harmless to humans, infact they are extremely important in keeping the rodent population in check.

This balance is so critical that the Lassa fever belt and most rodent transmitted diseases are significantly lower in parts of the SE that have this practice.
Case in point, it is not practised in Ebonyi which is a Lassa fever hotspot.
In terms of welcoming visitors ball pythons are attracted to warmth just like many cold-blooded animals so it is a no brainer that it will gravitate towards a warm area where there are humans, especially as it has lost its fear for them.
In many developed countries including the UK, snakes are protected and you may end up in jail for killing one.

Horrible design
The sides of a bus stop should be transparent to alert oncoming buses that passengers are waiting, that way they know to slow down on time especially if it is raining and passengers are taking shelter.
It is a critical design flaw in this case, I pray someone reads this and rectifies it.
Should also be a flexible and possibly partially moveable structure

Why did he have to put his picture there?
And his plaque on a security post.

Ugwuanyi failed woefully as a governor.
But it shouldn't just stop with lamentations.
He should be probed and prosecuted.
The citizens should demand for this, it is the only way to ensure good governance.

Serene and naturally beautiful

This is heart rending, mods should learn to regulate, the pictures of certain tragedies as a respect to grieving families.
A cursory disclaimer is not enough to get away from being sued for the psychological trauma inflicted.
I advise that the pictures showing any bodies be removed.
Lalasticlala please kindly note.

ogbonti:
No Bro, you are getting this whole thing wrong- the naija guy thought every black is a democrat as CNN made everyone living outside America to believe - so guy man thinks if he talks down Trump - he will get some sympathy and friendship from her not knowing all black are not in the democrat plantation

Exactly, the lady is a hard core Republican.
She said Obama is the worst president ever, that shows you how deeply routed she is.

Officialgarri:
Instead of stylishly giving the glory to CCECC and overhyping the airport because it's in Enugu, why not swallow your pride and give the glory to the real government that made it happen

Remember, y'all blamed the government for temporarily shutting down the airport

Y'all blamed the government for not completing the renovation in a single day

If not hypocrisy, then you should still mention the government here as usual instead of a chinese company

It shows you are absolutely totally ignorant about the construction history.
The international terminal building you see in the picture has not changed since this government came in place.
Every brick you see was by the previous government under Stella Oduah.
What has been done by the current minister was refurbishment/expansion of the runway, with night time lighting and ILS(new one still to be fully installed), and even after shutting the airport for a year it still hasn't been completed. Mind you this is just a 3 km runway with no taxi lane.

Dis Man Is Spewing Nonsense Out Of His Mouth. Rev Or Whatever He Call Himself Is A Foolish Person & He Is Not Worthy To Lead D Congregation. If Virginity Is Not A Gift, What Is It Den? Does He Think God Is A Fool 4 Making & Sealing Dat In Women? Does He Even Know D Significance Of It? So, He Is Indirectly Encourage Promiscuity, Sexual Immorality & Fornication. I Know Dat Sexually Lose People Won't See Anything Meaningful In Dis.

Please read the whole article.
Never read the headline alone and jump to make comment unless you will get it all wrong.
He NEVER encouraged immortality, rather he said virginity/purity shouldn't be just for women but for men as well, and should be a gift unto God rather than just unto man.

Sad news indeed.
What kind of disjointed write up is this, non chronological and very hard to make out the facts.

flyingpig:
Igbo leaders between 2005-2015 when PDP held sway will be the first to receive blames here.
Fuel depot in Enugu that serves SE zone had been moribund ever since 2005, but nothing was done to return it to full capacity, until you guys exited the scene in 2015. The large Igbo populace will now blame Buhari for this predicament, not knowing where the rain actually began to beat them.

It still doesn't absolve Buhari from his responsibility of cartering for all Nigerians and bringing that depot back to life or situate a new standard depot in Anambra, Abia or Ebonyi.


By the way, SE leaders during PDP days were scum International Airport zero, Niger bridge zero, this one zero, federal roads in the zone; zero.

We need to change our orientation that produces those who represent us in the federal level, and task ministers appointed from our zone to represent us well and leave lasting legacies in our zone.

Las las, Stella Oduah, Pius Anyim, big shame on you lot. Only Onyebuchi Chukwu had any iota of sense and patriotism in him.

This your see saw argument has no basis, none of the infrastructure you pointed out has changed. What has changed is the increase in fuel prices which makes the lack of depot bite harder.
Or are you saying the depot should not be looked into because it wasn't working under PDP, thus APC has no obligation to fix it.

This is an encouraging story, Nigerians are indeed hardworking and with appropriate incentives we can achieve a lot.

bluefilm:
Do you think the guy will still have energy to even start devising ways to dodge the elephant after the beast must have manhandled him?

The guy was not staying down because it was his strategy.

The guy has been completely knocked out.

But he still got up and left, so how was he knocked out completely.

Brachaa:
Beast of burden
Beast of burden
Beast of burden

Stay outta my way
Hand it over now

Im ma come and get you
I'm ma come and get you

Stay away
Stay away.. Lol...


Who's that man making the hell of a noise in the background with the "farapeh"? And why was the attacked guy acting dead instead of taking to his heels? That beast could have crushed him. That was a great risk.

Sounds like they are from ivory coast though.

The noise maker was instrumental in saving the boy by distracting the elephant and giving the correct instructions.
You cannot outrun an elephant, and it may let up if it feels you are not a threat, running suddenly will usually not be good if it is already on you.

bluefilm:
Playing dead is equally bad.

The elephant will just stamp you to death.

According to Mr. Bear Grylls of Ultimate Survival, your best move is to time it very well and wait for the elephant to come to you, then you dive or jump aside.

He says elephants have good sense of smell but not so good eyesight.

So once you are clear of its view, your chances of making it to safety is slightly increased.

The elephant was already on him so no chance he could outrun it.
Staying down was the best move at that point, the elephant no longer saw him as a threat and diverted its attention to the bicycle, then he was able to get away.
A mistimed run would have been disastrous.

GamalNasser:
Play dead was what saved his life , any attempt to run when the elephant considered him a threat and he will be dead..No human alive can outrun even the laziest elephant

Thank you so much.
Finally someone with some knowledge of animal behaviour.
