Nigeria is not a place you can just buy things and give the needy or homeless people anyhow
It wont be long before they accuse you of using their fortune for money ritual
Not that most people are not ready to help the needy but Nigeria is complicated
Imagine giving out 50naira to the homeless man under the bridge but he later went ahead to sell your 50naira at the rate of 1000naira to those who need it for money ritual to use your fortune

There are homeless people and there are demonic agents, destiny changers and ritualists posing as homeless people. And if Jesus had your mind set he wouldn't have come to die for the sins of mankind or he would have died for the jews only. I say this because you said you don't help especially yoruba homeless people that you perfer other tribes. Yes, I caught it before you edited your post and that is a horrible thing to say.

If there's something that gives me joy in life, it's when I help in in my little way. Givers absolutely never lack.Life is beautiful when we help those around us . Sometimes I always winder what it will be like to have millions in my account, I may not even be happy, There remains a void in my heart when I see people living in abject poverty.

I have a true story to tell.
I happened to meet a young girl if about 12 while in school. I came home from lectures to see her moving around my hostel. I asked why she was there and she told me she needed to see one of my hostel mates who obviously is not around. From the disappointment on her face, I asked her if everything was fine.She narrated to me a story about how hungry her family was, and the fact that her mom sent her out to borrow money from my mate. I asked her to take me to her mother. It was an uncompleted building and I didn't know how somebody can live in that kind of place with grasses everywhere. I feared for snake bites as I approached the mother.I gave her quite a fairly good sum and told her not to return it . The way she thanked me sent a deep knife down my spine.I wish she never did, it made it even unbearable because it broke my heart even more As I was living the compound in a haste for fear of snakes, a iron rod dragged my leg,almost ripping off the last toe on my left feet.This woman and her daughter didn't know what to do, at some point, I noticed they were begin to feel bad, I had to hide the deep pains I was feeling. The blood trailed me back to the hostel. It was a deep wound and so I had to visit the hospital to take injections and dressings of course. For over a month, I limped. But I have no regrets. When i look at the scar on my last toe, I remember that sometimes we may get in trouble for trying to help somebody, but we must also remember that it's pays to have a beautiful mind, it soothes the soul.

"Slow Dance More"

Grady johnson was a common man
Four children and some bottom land
Early to bed he said well that ain't me
I gotta spend some time with my family

Left to it's own device may becomes june
But children grow up all too soon

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Mama johnson was grady's wife
She bore his children and she graced his life
Hand in hand and side by side
They worked hard to simplify

Some folks have and some have not
What really counts is what you do with what you've got

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

And more I think I understan
What my father's father meant
When he said son what matters most
You can count on just one hand

So love your neighbor as yourself
Don't use money to measure wealth
Trust in God but lock your door
Buy low sell high and slow dance more

Buy low sell high and slow dance more

I think FCT Nairalanders should come together this Xmas to do something for the less privileged.

You're truly beautiful and priceless, inside and out

DeRay98:
Most of the problems in our health care are due to administrative incompetence and poor planning.
All Health ministers are Medical doctors, all health commissioners are medical doctors, all state and federal health management boards or committees are heavily dominated by medical doctors. All Chief medical directors of all hospitals are Medical doctors.
Therefore, decision-making in health care systems and institutions are dominated by medical doctors and since they are unquestionable and unanswerable to any other, they are to blame.
Nigerian Medical Association has become more of a political organization than an apex health professionals body, they claim to be fighting for better health care but all they do bully paramedical professionals, cover up mismanagement by their colleagues, blame non-medical professionals and allocate budgetary provisions to themselves, use appropriated funds to buy out-dated,substandard or refurbished equipment even when budget was made for standard state of the art equipment.
i have a friend who sells medical equipment, if you get to hear what he experiences in dealing with govts hospital and health ministry mgt.
No medical equipment purchase request can be approved or purchased without the admin or hospital management MDs (if not the commissioner) signing the approval.
Budget for medical equipment are made with prices for the latest or modern equipment with are usually very expensive (often 3-4x the actual cost, to provide for some %tage to some top officials). Once the budget is approved, the equipment eventually purchased is usually of less quality and specifications approved for purchase the rest of the funds is pocketed and covered up by the beneficiaries.
After a couple of years, often less than the warranty period, the equipment becomes faulty as expected, are left unserviced for a while and finally auctioned and bought by same Doctors for their own private clinics often at ridiculously lower rate than market price.
Any health care system is comprised of a team of all health care (Medical, Para-medical, non-medical) personnel. An experienced medical doctor is traditionally the head or captain of the team and as such carry the team along for effectiveness. All health care is not about Medical doctors alone, all members of the team have inputs that helps the MD to effectively manage the health of a pat.
But in Nigeria, these other health care team members are looked down on or disrespected by medical doctors. sometimes, MDs wants people to believe that these other professions are irrelevant and they can be done without.
Nobody else advises govts. on health care policies and expenditure other than medical doctors, if the policies are failing, facilities are under staffed, under equipped etc, blame for their failure to do the needful. the frequents strikes they embark of for better working conditions are often presented to the public as demands for equipment and facility, in fact, they are usually for their salaries, allowances and remunerations.
The consultants no longer have time to supervise their residents, they run around using govt time to attend private patients in several private hospitals or their private hospitals/clinics.
The worst culprits are the administrative doctors, event young medical doctors are victims too.
Until Nigerians begin to make hospitals answer questions on questionable deaths of relatives, the situation will remain.
The poor justice system in Nigeria also means that people cannot wait for the length of time it takes to get justice, the cover-up of questionable deaths and injuries by other doctors to avoid justice, the believe that doctors are demi-gods by many uninformed people also does not help matters. In the civilised countries, the fear of malpractice suits by aggrieved patients or relatives of patients put the doctors on the alert.
I expect fireworks from MDs and many uninformed doctors-worshipping wailers here

Chai! If this is true then you just opened up a can of worms.

Wonderful responses from some people; idiotic responses from others.


My best possible advice: tell the young man to go to the hospital to see a Doctor and carry out some tests.

Buhari is not living by example cos he already rides a 30 vehicle convoy..... online videos on Buhari's convoy already litter cyberspace.

Hypocrisy and propaganda uncensored

You just shot yourself in the foot. He refused to spend N600 million to change the cars with new ones. All the cars you see were the old ones,'Alokus' inherited from jonathan. Talk another thing.

iambabaG:
Dis is just a view of one nurse out of how many.. In vs much as u av sounded some salient points; most of us can attest 2 d ill manner of most medical practitioners!!
There is really very little d government can do in d present difficult times. Dats y "whitch hunt" or whatever u call it is needed 2 recoup stolen money back 2 help us fix dis problem.

Very little government can do?? Let's not deceive ourselves, our politicians and political office holders fly out of the country for medical treatment for any little medical ailment leaving the rest of us to bear the brunt. And the cost of medical treatment is borne by who? The Nigerian taxpayers! Let there be a law whereby every political office holder is forced to seek medical treatment here at home and you will see the speed at which the hospitals will develop. They don't have money to develop health care but they have tens of thousands of dollars of tx payers money to spend outside another person's country.

Pidggin:
So the number of people that have lossed their lives since May 29th shows a decrease in the activities of B.H? I will withhold any form of insult, for the sake of those who have died and their relatives who are still grieving.

Buhahaha!

Ok firstly, it's lost their lives, not lossed. Secondly,the frequency of Boko Haram activities have reduced, unlike before where they had the time to be filming "home videos" with Shekau as the main actor, as well as filming their activities and firepower. They also attacked and took over whole towns nd villages, parading the streets as well as having the liver to attack military bases and a police collage. Finally, if you like, don't withhold your insults. They don't carry weight. Infact, it will go back to where it came from.

Maybe you should carry gun and go to face Boko Haram, abi?

speedyGonzales:
I am not playing victim, I am stating the facts, you claim that alot of things, most of them propaganda... I understand you don't want war but don't try to lie to me! Ojukwu didn't die in the war, that is why Biafra cannot have their country if the want? there have has much right to have their country, if they choose as any other human being on earth! senseless war? then if the war was meaningless why did Nigeria go on the offensive? I have read the books as well, books by British spies and the Red Cross about the war the help from colonial powers that Nigeria got to win the war... the difficulty of getting food to the children/civilians caught in the war! If you don't want war say you don't want war, quit telling me, the were celebrating the end of the war because they were NOT there were celebrating the crude oil over the dead bodies of staving kids! what bullsh*t!

Well, the truth is bitter. You cannot accept it because it doesn't appeal to your itchy ears. Sorry but history was well documented. And the irony of it all was that the book was written by an igbo man who was not only there, but was DIRECTLY RESPONSIBLE for the slaughter, a former nigerian army Lt Col whom Ojukwu made a Major General, his third in command, a member of his cabinet and his Chief of Army Staff. Isn't that shameful?? And it contained pictures, plenty of pictures, just like the one you posted. And that isn't my only source. You know next to nothing on this issue.

Anybody advocating for war, for whatever reason is a fool. These "little kids" think that modern warfare is a joke Or you think it is a war of cutlass and locally made pistol or AK47? . There are biological weapons which will be released into the atmosphere people breathe, killing tens of thousands in less than ten minutes.

Not a Single Shot fired. Thousands of people lying dead on the streets. Unless you don't breathe oxygen. Omo leave that thing oo

Bigmillz:
idiot he isn't, but see how they did him. If he was an hause will the yorubas betray him?

Who betrayed who or what on earth are you talking about? Have you forgotten that Providence (the death of Yar'dua) was what made Jonathan ascend the Presidency? Or that the whole country voted for him in 2011? Or that he signed a pact of four years with the political powers that be? And even at that if he had done well, Nigerians would have definitely voted for him again? And to add insult to injury, he surrounded himself with criminal elements and corrupt ministers who looted our coffers with impunity. To worsen it all, the south east and south south stood alone, shouting 'No vacancy' and insulting every and any body who wasn't behind Jonathan, until he wasn't soundly defeated. Don't get it twisted oh; if Buhari messes up, we will sweep him out! No time for non sense or sentiments. Our leaders should sit tight. Any one not performing will be shown the way out by the ballot box. Its no longer business as usual. Any leader who refuses to hear the cries of his people will be KICKED OUT by those same people. The people have spoken

speedyGonzales:
tell that to the guy in the picture, holding "Gowon 12, Ojukwu 0"! they are not celebrating end of war, they don't look hungry at all, in-fact in the other picture, you can see a "white boy" just standing there in the background, which white man will allow their children in a war-zone in Africa if it was unsafe and there was lack of food? they are celebrating the dead of every biafran and especially those children!

Don't tell me what is not please. I have a book back at home written by Ojukwu's general and chief of army staff of the 'republic of Biafra' who was responsible for executing Ojukwu's policies s regarding warfare. There was jubilation everywhere, including in 'Biafra', because Ojukwu ruled by fear. After hearing news that the Nigerian military had since broken lines nd they were very close to Aba, he immediately entered an airplane, having his bags packed, and flew out, saying he was going for one "peace conference". He was smarter than the rest of them at the time, having been schooled and trained in England. So he ran, leaving the rest of the losers to surrender on his behalf. He was just a coward and a war criminal was given a state pardon.

And as for the people you saw dancing, like I said, they celebrated the end of a senseless civil war which they didn't start so stop playing the victim here.

speedyGonzales:
the people in those pictures celebrating the war, are they not celebrating the dead of this children... How are they morally justified to celebrate the dead of more than one million civilian life... Yet I am the one that is crazy here!

How many of those children survived the war! was the British/Nigeria, not responsible for blocking aid efforts to children in Biafran region...

Point of correction! They celebrated the END of the war. They were ordinary people on the streets. No more DEATH, DISEASE, FAMINE, RAPES, BOMBINGS, STRAVTION and MAIMING of innocent women nd children. And to Ojukwu, the coward that he was, who ran like a frightened cat with it's tail between his legs, leaving behind a collapsed 'biafra' with two million dead, your judgment awaits on the last day.

speedyGonzales:
hahaha! dude, I think it would be a fun experience... I would have to move my family to Ghana, then comeback just to enjoy the war close up!

...And the dimwit knowest not that he just might be hit by a stray bullet or an IUD because he knowest not what he asketh for.....

AkwaIbomrep1:
can't u quote me without insulting me ? We don't want anything that resemble apc here in Akwa ibom ,how is that ur business ,are u from Akwa ibom ? My dear face ur state & embrace any party u want , we're proudly PDP, Akwa ibom is P D P , P D P is Akwa ibom ....damn! #VisitAkwaibom

You said and I quote,"those who voted APC deserve to be hanged".Only a murderer talks like that.

Rest in Perfect Peace, Prof. God console your family.

Happy Married Life. Dare, I sight you...

If some people were God, they would have made other tribes to start eating sand.

AkwaIbomrep1:
If u voted for apc u deserve hanging .... Pls apc leave our state for us, leave Akwa ibom for us we don't want ur islamic party ,we don't want what is happening to Imo state to happen to us .... Akwa ibom is proudly P D P .... #VisitAkwaibom

What non sense. Why are you talking like an animal?

funkybully:
[s][/s]

Stop writing off point.

Did apc promise such?

When we countered that it was never going to be feasible what was apc response with respect to recovered fund from loots?

Why are apc legislators all of a sudden against their campaign promise?

May God deny u answer to Ur prayers the way buhari and apc are doing, say Amen

Didn't you read my post where I said if APC doesn't perform they will also be throw out? Didn't you read where I said they still have time to fulfill their electoral promises? What is off point about that? Answer me. I have never cancelled ANY BODY's quotes, no matter how absurd it may seem. I quote nd give my own opinion but in your case I can see you are too immature and ill mannered to have a conversation with.

The APC have been in government six months. They still have three and a half years to fulfill their electoral promises. PDP was in government sixteen years. The broom we used in sweeping PDP is still being kept. If they are the same or worse, we will sweep them out

Was just laughing when PDP senators advocated for N5000. They were in government sixteen years. I read a lot of comments and a lot of comments are full of shitt. You will know from someone's posts that they are looking for stones to throw; the same people that have been throwing stones since Buhari stepped up to contest till now. Consistently and ceaselessly they have been throwing stones, trying to make people think they made wrong decision to vote Buhari. They called buhari a dullard that he has no certificate and his vice, an internationally trained, distinguished professor of law a mere commissioner and even insulted other tribes, calling them slaves, born towey, boko haram and a whole bunch of other things. No one has time for all this rubbish.

General Sani Abacha, though disgraced, still remains a former head of State and Commander-in-Chief. And this is his family, not the man himself. Again, who isn't a thief like Abacha? Babangida, Abubakar ? Abi na Jonathan? Also remember that this same Abacha led the coup that removed Buhari as head of State in 1985.

I remember when the South African government seized millions of dollars which our Federal Government wanted to use to buy arms and ammunition aboard Pastor Oritsejafor's Jet. Look at the speed at which our money was seized.






Now it's payback. And Payback is a bittch.

We flouted their rules; and we payed for it. Now, it's their turn....

Aaah! The voice of REASON !!

P.S: the poster above me foolishly forgot to mention that an igbo man, One Major Nzeogwu led a military coup. In the north, he personally killed the Saudana of sokoto and other northern leaders in the 1966 coup, a coup in which only Hausa and Yoruba leaders, including the Prime minister( tafawa balewa) and western premier(Samuel Akintola) were killed. Only leaders of the igbo extraction, including President Nnamdi Azikiwe and the Chief of army staff( also igbo) were spared. That was the BEGINNING of ethnic violence s no ethnic violence EVER occured before THAT INCIDENT. Igbos feel they are superior to other tribes and many of them are ill mannered and egotistical, especially the young ones among them. But the worst trait is that a lot of them love money more than anything.
