True, I don't think we have the same regard for pets as folks up west.. Everything na bush meat..

i can link you up with the guy who got my tortoise for me...it came from kaduna to lagos

That would be nice.

Prodeegee:
Tortoise are good, altho nothing close. To companionship.

An aquarium would be fit also...with a couple of goldfishes that cost less than a thousand naira.

Im making a home for mytortoise, I'll post videos soon.

And btw, rabbits are cool too...same as parrots.

Yeah, but how do I get them here. Easterners are more concerned with EATING animals thann LOVING them.

missKiffy:
And you really think I was serious

Nope. But I can see now that you fell for my "reverse sarcasm".

benedictjohn:
abt d size of the dog, its nt upto a small chair.. they are smallish in size.. they only increase in their length... thats all I can tell u abt d dog.. bt if u dont wanna get a dog as a pet, u can get a tilapia fish from any river, maybe ur village's river... fish dont consume space, just dy put water insyd d bowl...

Ha ha. A meaningless contribution, but thank you for ur time. And MB

Lmao

Erm, Op, why 'the' bae? Is bae an object?

lol, wetin I for say?

benedictjohn:
bro get a Lhasa apso like d one on my dp... I wont trade dat angel on my dp for #500,000.. I love dis breed like there aint tomao...

. Would have helped if u had snapped urself with it, so I'd have an idea of the size. Like I said, I don't have much space.
And I'm really looking for a non-dog pet. Dogs are too mainstream. I like to be weird.

Waoh.....I can c that u read my post thoroughly.....anyways, thank u for ur comments. In my first post I wrote BETTER nd CHEAPER service(u c dt I know wot I'm saying)... We had more reasons to move mum to lag; we felt dt mum shd b in d care of ma sis dts based in lag since we(other children) are a bit far frm home, moreover, only dad can't handle d situation ........(Wanna antagonise that too??). Every Doctor performs better in his area of specialisation.for example, We all know dt mid-wives wl take delivery perfectly bt INCASE theirs complication dts y d gyneacologist is on stand-by(does dt ans ur que??) I ddnt put up ds post to gain sympathy nor for condolence msgs bt to reach out to Nigerians who would learn 1 or 2 tins. Mind u, d fact that a Doc. Can interprete a scan/ an x-ray result(basis of d diagnosis) doesn't mean he can work well on d ailment....Moreover, y shd d ans to Doc. attitude to work b privatisation? If a Doc would divert patients to his hosp, then y is d salary he's getting frm d govt? Is dt justified? Are u saying d essence of creating general hosp is nt worth it U may say #100 no b money, bt wen multiplied in folds(bt wait o...ao u tey know say na #100 sef?). If Doc wana patronise their frens based on trust(as u claim), they could av adviced them to com open branch @ nearby abi if their so-called fren fold up now they(Doc) won't patronise other diagnostics centre since they do not trust them .

......anyway, I just read through ur profile and saw dt u'r a dokita(MO).....NO WONDER! Av gone tru some of ur posts and saw dt u'r eager to leave Naija, u better go listen to d song titled I LOVE NAIJA by korede Bello mayb dt wl change ur mind....eje ka sowo po gbe naija laruge ooo

I'm flattered you viewed my profile. But like I said, the doctors in a general hospital are not usually specialists, they're just "MO's", like Yours Truly. A gynaecologist is, first and foremost, a surgeon, and indeed laparotomies(the surgery that they'd most likely have performed on ur dearly departed mum) are being performed by them all the time. Also, for a little extra fee, he could always invite a specialist surgeon (specialists have some sort of clique/network thing going on, you see)
And I'm afraid i still stand by my advocacy for privatisation/commercialisation of the health sector, because money is the only thing that truly gets things done. If an entrepreneur finds out that one of his doctors is working elsewhere when he should be attending to HIS own patients, or doing anything that would jeopardise his ability to maximise profit, that doctor's gonna get axed. Government workers(most of them, anyway) always end up developing the same attitude towards work, irrespective of their profession.
And yes, I may end up leaving the country, especially if my babe dumps me, but...(in Arnold Schwarzenegger voice) "I'LL BE BACK!"

Hi folks,
I'm a bachelor in my mid twenties. I live alone (besides the occasional visits from my girlfriend, which are about to become much less frequent, don't ask me why) in a two bedroom flat. I love animals, and i think that I'm mature enough to take care of a pet. I'm kind of confused though, about which animal to get.
•dogs are wonderful and loyal and playful, but I don't have the space to raise a dog, nor the time for potty-training or poop-scooping.
•cats are much easier to maintain due to their size and instinctive hygiene, but then this is Africa, and everybody is superstitious. Plus my girlfriend HATES them (but then she hates a lot of things, so....meh ...don't tell her I said that )
•i've also considered a tortoise, guinea-pig and parrot, but they're not very readily available here in Anambra State. Cats too.

So that's my dilemma, in a nutshell. I'd like your ideas, and contacts of pet dealers in and around Anambra. Cheers.

Nice. And he can act too. Makes me kinda want to see the movie when it comes out.

Thank u and God'l bless u. We actually brought mum to gbagada cos we thought we wld get better medical service, more professional hands. We have taken her to abt 3different private hospitals before we brought her to lagos. Her first symptoms was diarrhea and the Doctor we met earlier assumed its typhod and ulcer and he gave her loads of flagyl(I don't know ao tru cos I was far frm home then) then she stopped stooling and won't deficate for weeks. It was d 3rd doctor(gyneacologist) we took her to dt diagnosed d real truth but we felt it wasn't his area of specialisation, so we decided to seek professional hands.

Sorry for ur loss bro, but why r u "changing mouth"? Did u take her away because of the money, or because u felt a gynaecologist that was able to diagnose intestinal obstruction wouldn't be able to treat her? [hint: there is no correct answer to the question]. Also I don't know how far Gbagada is from Maryland, but I know that doctors can be very untrusting people when it comes to diagnostic centres. There are so many quack labs and diagnostic centres these days that usually doctors just stick to the one they've tested and trust. And even though some centres appreciate doctors that refer patients to them (a few hundred to a thousand bucks per referral; how much be Xray sef, wey dem wan give the doc huge percentage?), the doctor would definitely never put 1k above the life of his patient.
Word of advice: until Buhari decides to privatise the health sector, don't patronise general hospitals for life-threatening emergencies. And I speak for myself and a lot of NLERS when I say that N150000 is NEVER going to be the reason why I take my dying mother, whom I can NEVER replace, away from a place where they are willing and able to treat her. I'm pretty sure that you WILL end up spending more than that amount on other things that could have been avoided. If professional help was why u went to the General Hospital (laughable, cuz it's a "GENERAL" hospital, u see, with mostly general practitioners), you could at least have met the main doc in charge of ur mum and asked him about his private hospital where he can expedite the treatment (he has one, don't worry). Either way, money gets things done, or done right.
Once again I'm sorry for ur loss. Take heart.

That child is really photogenic, forgerrit. Because e get some children wey be say if u see their picture, u sef go tire. Just like Goodluck son.

Johnnyessence:
what's ur point here d same newspaper that posted d rumoured news is now positing d good news .see d fact here is that d pupils will be feed with good foods.free education, free meals.it was dwindling in d fg allocation revenue that slow d pace of d payment of d salary. and let me tell u here all d South west state owns their workers salary except Lagos state.

And that's a good thing?

Exactly what I wanted to ask!!!

Hilda, hands down. I spent my entire childhood sympathising with her helplessness.
She cried when she was happy, she cried when she was sad, and in Fatal Desire, she cried when she was dead! Chai!!!

Looks like Timi finally went to see a dentist. D teeth don dey white small. Or is it the camera?

Simple. She often needs wise counsel on matters arising, and she is the wisest person among her circle of friends. She is surrounded by ildiots.
I'm not saying OP is an ildiot *mischievous smile*

Isn't it ironic how a photographer just happens to be there, with a hi-resolution camera and gets a picture at the right angle, just as someone is about to buy agbalumo? And of course we know half of the pictures on this list are what I like to call "political humility". Which I can't say anything against, because however insincere these gimmicks were (unless you believe Fayose always eats at a buka, or Aisha Buhari will ever again go out to help people fry akara, and there will always be a hi- res cam that just happens to be nearby) they worked. Cheap publicity is good publicity, so it seems.

The poster below me, good morning. How was ur night?

Some things can never be unsaid. My recent "near-breakup" with my boo taught me that
We accept his apology, but let it be known to him that things will never be the same again.
He's about to meet a more hostile industry.
By the time all the big stars (many of whom are igbo or igbo-affiliated) start shying away from his movies or naming humongous fees for him, THEN he will know the REAL meaning of FRUSTRATION.
But Igbos should not provoke people to such anger sha. He's a really good producer and deserves to "chop something"

lagos360:
A friend has been into music for like eternity. He'd always sing for us (friends). He's an IT guy, not that he's making millions but fairly comfortable. He was into a very serious relationship last year and composed a song that he meant to be played on his wedding day. Unfortunately things went sour and the relationship was ended. He finished the song about two weeks ago. We convinced him to put it online and the response has been small but exciting. Thing is, he got an email, then a call from one of the current top 10 artist in the Nigerian music industry offering to buy the song for 5 Million naira cash.

Point is, cos of the response he's been getting from the song, he's thinking of recording an album. We've been talking of taking the songs to radio stations (we understand it's not going to be free and we could pull it off to get a fair amount of airplay).

I don't want to sound arrogant but 5M while quite an amount isn't enough I think. This song in question is the type of song that's just different and unique in its own way. I think my friend's song can shape his music career just like "African Queen" shaped 2Baba's career.

What website did he upload it on?

Airforce1:
too long

No time to read all that

Sorry

Too busy working on the nalbum shey



It's not a typo, o. Nalbum= no album

Hi, I'm also seeking advice on how to move my practice to Trinidad and Tobago.
