A minister is a servant.

FG can appoint a corper to serve as minister like many corpers engaged to serve as Electoral Polling officers by INEC.
Stop defending the indefensible. Electoral Polling Officers are adhoc staff. Is a minister an adhoc appointment? Check the dictionary for the meaning of adhoc. You cannot know better than the NYSC..they have their own rules and regulations

PoliticsRe: Sen. Philip Aduda Leads Kogi PDP Caretaker Committee(pics) by Eriokanmi:
The only truly democratic party in Africa. They lost their savour cos of ego and corruption, created a loophole and the apc entered like a lizard. In the pdp, no tribalism, no religous sentiments or gender bias.

Under their regime,.power truly belonged to the people. You don't have to know anyone to be relevant. Thanks to the youwin programme. My friend working at UN today wouldn't have had that opportunity, someone whose dad is a peasant farmer in a remote village in ekiti. Amazingly, the majority of those who destroyed the pdp are in the apc today.

Kudos to the founding fathers of that party.

This is what I try to make men understand on this forum but most of them can't spot it.
Some weeks ago a very successful woman wanted to jump into the lagoon cos of man. That is just one out of many who have gone beyond just thinking suicide to attempting it. This is another successful lady thinking about settling down. My point still remains that being successful will not make a woman forget or kill her need of a man. Am not talking about the perverts who claim feminist online but are craving for a man's touch. My advice is this guys look beyond social media groom yourself, work hard and be ready for the future. 7 women will still say let us bear your name we don't need your money. Please guys don't die now stay alive for the future.
A very good advice for those who would heed it

TravelRe: 6 Strong Reasons Why Nigerians In The UK Are So 'stingy' by Eriokanmi: 8:06am On Aug 23, 2023
uuzba:
Let's get this straight.
Western people know that Everybody needs help. But they institutionalised their helping system..
Evrybodu can get help in multiple ways. Student loans for school, credit card for business, or charity for sick/disabled people, even homeless shelter.
The family members might not help each other because they know, you can just go and get whatever help money from government.
And if government refuses you, it must be because you have a bad habit you have refused to change that is maintaning a low credit score for you. Probably a drug addict or something similar.
They also have PATREON website, where you write your ideas and people donate to help your business.
I didn't think we Nigerians can get any help from that patreon for Nigerian business. It is meant for western people for western stuff. Dollar to Dollar transactions..
So, yes they do help. But in an organised way without favoritism..
You didn't get my point. I wasn't talking of seeking help from government or corporate bodies or what have you. Rather, I was talking of individuals helping out in a way, which isn't available in most of the western countries where the government does almost everything for their people. I had lived in a couple of them, to say the least.

Help could come in different ways and forms, I agree. But not everything you share with the government or what have you. There are some issues that are better shared with individuals or family members due to sensitivity. But because such a structure isn't available in the west, many of them would just keep it to themselves, manage it, for those who can or fall in a depression and later commit suicide, if they feel its not manageable .

I remember a neighbour who walked to me and said her grown daughter still bedwets, someone old enough to even get married. She said her daughter feels depressed about this all the time. I don't want to sound religous here but she received a solution to that disgraceful experience. She's still in the university, I think. In the Western countries, such a pretty girl would have killed herself, due to the kind of the structure in place. Everybody is skeptical of their neighbours over there. This girl had been to hospitals, done several tests yet, no solution before i stepped in.

In another scenario, my wife once told me that her sister has been worried about the delayed conception. She had a son but wanted more. She said each time her husband meets her, the whole stuff would flow out, instead of flowing inside and fertilising her egg and her husband was calling her unprintable names already. She's been to hospital, they've prescribed drugs, et al, no solution.

Long story cut short, I told my wife to tell her sister that, when next she ovulates, she should tell her husband to reach her from the back and wait after pouring it inside for some minutes before pulling out. She became pregnant after that meeting. 2de, they have 3 children together, carbon copies of their dad.

The 2 examples given above were just a few,out of many. People would knock at their relations' or neighbours' doors and share their thoughts on burning issues and find succour. Can you walk to the government over there and discuss such? The answer is no. A nursing student told me she wanted to end it because she had failed a multiple times and she doesn't want to go back home a failure cos her parents will almost kill her. I sat her down, gave her the encouragement she needed . This November, she will graduate. She had to resit those courses, though she had an extra year. She's happy today. Can she go to the government to discuss such? I don't want to share what led to her poor performance here but its not money. She saw me as someone she could confide in and she received a solution.

There's a lady here, whose name I won't mention. She had spiritual problems, bad dreams, etc. She was feeling depressed at some point. I reached out to her personally, she did the needful. She came here to share good news. Such intimacy isn't built in the west and that's why suicide rate is so high oner there. Africa culture really helps in mitigating such missions.
TravelRe: 6 Strong Reasons Why Nigerians In The UK Are So 'stingy' by Eriokanmi: 10:25pm On Aug 22, 2023
The number 1 reason is a very wicked one. No wonder they easily commit suicide, just because there's nobody to express their minds to. Everybody is just on their own. Too bad!

Christianity EtcRe: 21 Churches Destroyed, Burnt In Pakistan Over Blasphemy Under 2 Days by Eriokanmi: 10:12pm On Aug 22, 2023
Armaggedon:
India and Pakistan and Bangladesh used to be one under the British rule. Shortly before independence, India was partitioned along religious line into two countries of Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. The Muslim Pakistan broke into two countries of Pakistan and Bangladesh. Today Balochistan is still fighting to secede from Pakistan while Pakistan itself is in a political and economic crisis. India is stable and progress albeit slowly. Still the only problem India has is the remaining minority Muslims in the country.

Peace, progress and development can never be found where there is Islam. Even Islamic states like Saudi and the UAE are gradually doing away with the Sharia and Islam entirely by relaxing their Islamic laws in favour of more secularism, in order to welcome development.

Muslims can't leave with anybody. They fight with Jews in Israel, fight with Hindu in India, fight with Christians all over the place. They even form sects and fight among each other in Islamic countries. Even as terrorists, they split and fight each other.

There is only one remaining country in the world where Muslims and non Muslims leave in equal or near equal population. That country is Nigeria and it will soon go the way of South Sudan.
Sensible!
HealthRe: How Soon Does Lab Test Detect HIV Infection After Being Exposed? by Eriokanmi: 3:02pm On Aug 22, 2023
DoctorAyukebot:
The window period for most HIV antibody tests is 3months (12weeks) after exposure. I don't know which test assay is popular in Nigeria, but in Cameroon the test kit DETERMINE is a first line cos of it's high sensitivity. That means it will for the most part pick up antibodies. Oral Quick is used for confirmation cos of it's high specificity. This means sometimes cos of DETERMINE's high sensitivity it could show a false positive that needs to be confirmed with a high specificity kit like Oral Quick that's good at detecting antibodies specific to HIV..

If you tested negative at the ten week mark it's very very likely you would be negative at the 12weeks mark. Most rapid tests in use in 2023 can accurately pick antibodies at the 6weeks mark. However in line with regulation do test again at the 12 weeks mark post exposure to have a confirmatory result

After transferring the money to one of them, he said they loaded a truck to lagos in the past week from their farm. They'd not make less than 2m naira from that single truck load.

BusinessRe: FG Mulls Redenomination Option To Stabilise Naira by Eriokanmi: 9:23pm On Aug 20, 2023
Fujiyama:
^^^
There was a radio/TV advertisement by Airtel some years back with a line (or perhaps it was even the ad title) that said a man was expected to have made his first million Naira (or was it five million?) by age 30 or something like that. It was a big deal then because inflation wasn't the monster it has become today.

A very controversial thread hit front page because of that ad - so many young men felt very uncomfortable with the pressure being placed on their shoulders. Thirty wasn't far off and the economy wasn't smiling. Very few would have expected things to get a lot, lot worse. But they have. undecided

Don't mind them. In life, don't criticise those in authority if you don't hold the magic wand. There was no unprintable names tinubu and the apc caucus didn't call obj and Jonathan when in government, sponsoring various protests nationwide as if they had a better idea.

Under the apc's watch, Nigerians were murdered in thousands yet, no single useful solution from them, our military lost their lives in hundreds too.

Between 2015 and now, naira had been so battered that it increased from 250 naira to 980 naira to a dollar in rates, what they said they'd stabilise and almost bring to same rate as dollar before they took office. They said Nigeria would be developed like dubai and gullible supporters swallowed their lies hook,lins and sinker.

They said subsidy was a scam, that it never existed yet they claimed to have paid a huge sum in subsidy. They increased pump price multiple times and told us to bear with them.

Our economy had suffered so much that they too don't seem to have a solution to it. They've exhausted their lying buckets. No more lies to tell Nigerians. Now, it's a trial and error regime.

Nigeria has always been an import-dependent nation since the return of democracy yet, our economy has been well managed by robust economic teams. Crude was sold for 35 usd a barrel when obj was in office yet, naira was as very strong. Our foreign reserve was well built up. I exchanged 1,000 naira for 23,000 ce fa multiple times. Now , cefa has overtaken naira. Our leaders don't seem to know the implications of the worthless naira. The masses would suffer the consequences the most, via inflation.

If they tell you the reason for the fall of naira was because we're an import dependent nation, tell them we've always been, and naira hasn't been this useless. There are some great countries, who are import dependent and their economy fares well.

Has anyone wondered why crude price and export have improved for some time now and this never reflected on the value of naira and general economic condition? The reason is simple. Massive corruption, mismanagement of the economy and borrowings to execute elephant projects are among the causes. Some regions don't need the kind of rail system they're borrowing money for. The south-north railroad would have boosted our revenues and the fed govt would have been able to replay those loans in a shorter time. See just one accountant general stealing over 100bn..maybe he was exposed hecause he didn't settle some people around him. There are so many of his likes, who's yansh will never be opened till they die. There are former governors who borrowed from the foreign land and within, but failed to pay back and shifted the burden on their successors and ran for senate to enable them keep covering up those loans which they've embezzled while in office. some bills will never be allowed to fly , as long as they're in NA cos it will lead them to jail.

The solution to the Nigeria's problem is revolution, which we're aftaid of. The poor had been oppressed for too long. I always shake my head each time I see people on nairaland attacking each other's tribes,.instead of coming together and seeking a means of moving Nigeria forward and taking over what belongs to them...the country. They'd keep throwing tantrums until one day when they'd watch a mirror and see grey hair on their heads. That's when they'd realise how short this life is and how much their so called leaders have mortgaged their entire lives. Then, it would have been too late to act.

Who wanted to travel out in the 70s/80s and be working under the biting cold? See people japaing in droves. Who caused it? Not God who has made everything available for us but the so-called leaders whom you and I are defending. They've succeeded in sending you away from your land which you're meant to develop and flourish in, but you're not realising this. I hope people would shun ethnic sentiments and tackle the Nigerian problems headon. Even those living abroad are suffering and smiling. There's no place like home. I have a thousand proofs

Racoon:
Hehehe! I laugh! Meanwhile, these are the same Nigerian soldiers who always flex muscle against the same civilians they are running with and being psyche to go to war in Niger Republic? Nigeria is always antagonist to true reality of things.
grin.

I remember a day i witnessed a wild armed robbery attack shortly after the redemption camp, a few miles ahead of the shagamu interchange. I've never been so scared in my life.

I was travelling to Abuja by road on a sunday morning. Since my meeting was holding Monday morning, I decided to shun flight and travelled by road instead. This was in 2010. The road was fairly ok to travel on, back then. As the vehicle I boarded ran into these gun-wielding young men, I didn't know when I ran out of the vehicle and picked race, facing lagos where I was coming from. The bus was like number 6, counting from the robbery spot. At ojota, I saw a bus which was almost filled up. The driver encouraged me to enter but I refused. I loved the front seat so, I went for the next bus. The bus I avoided was 3rd on the row from the scene of robbery. They had robbed all passengers of their belongings.

Long story cut short. There was this huge SUV, I think Nissan Amanda, with fully tinted glass which approached the scene. Suddenly we saw 2 solders with guns in their hands. We were so happy seeing them, thinking they'd neutralize the thieves. All of a sudden, they ran into the bush with the guns in their hands. The robbers had a field day. After they had left, everybody now began to come out from their hiding, including the soldiers. When someone asked why did they disappoint , they said they had to run away cos they'd be their target once they see the uniform they were wearing. Another passenger now asked them again...officer, but why didn't you shoot at them from where you were hiding, abi they'd still see you? They both laughed, jumped inside the SUV and zoomed off.

I'm sorry to say this, if any serious-minded country should engage us in any war, Nigeria army would be humiliated. They'd defeat Nigeria and our army. The same army who used to represent Nigeria aren't in the force anymore the breeds we have now have nern corrupted, just like our current national team, super chickens. I don't blame them. Their morale is very low. You can imagine over 25 gallant officers resigning voluntarily recently. Their allowance would have been slashed before it gets to them. They delay their salary too. Only on Nigeria would yiu zee army commit suicide and our law makers are living large.

This is one of the reasons I don't encourage deployment of ecowas troops to Niger. Truth be told, ecowas is Nigeria and Nigeria is ecowas. It would be a sad and shameful thing to see their lives being wasted by the army of Niger Republic. Back home, ordinary boko haram, they can't defeat for over 10 years.

EducationRe: How Do I Boost My Memory Capacity And Reading Hours Time by Eriokanmi: 12:18pm On Aug 19, 2023
majesticguy:
It seems you've been cramming and reading, rather than studying.

Try to study.

Read to understand and not just for reading sake.

Relate what you read to real life events and activities.

Jot down points while studying, it helps you recall what you've read.

Some folks read once and never forget, others need to read the same thing multiple times, so as to remember, find out what works for you.

Irrespective of the handouts, material given, try to read further to gain more insight and knowledge on the topic, but make sure the additional information you are gaining falls within the scope of the study materials or handouts.

Revision of what you read the previous day in the wee hours of the following day also helps memory retention.

Look for folks you can revise with after studying, ask them questions on what you don't understand.

Although, the above rarely works for the fire brigade approach.

If you want to adopt the reading for understanding approach, then you should have started from the onset of the semester.
