In Nigeria it's everyman for himself o!
Doctors in Osun are signing undertaking so their children won't be through out of school- are the school fees in millions such that they can't afford it?!
The average doctor I know was drilled to think 'my patient first' during Med. School training. The true state of things formats that ideology
Remember when an engineer was asking (mockingly) how much doctors earn and how he would earn five times whatever the salary was- yet you want him to be forming superhero? To feed his family what?
I personally know doctors who have died from exhaustion, nobody sees this, but when they demand their rights, they are vilified.
This country and society has no plans for anybody, when it does then we can start talking.

Engine pictures pls?

Let the idiot go and die jor, God will make a way, begin to thank him in advance

OP, go to the north jor, you will start house-job in no time. Residency however is a different case. Please stop the pity party and hustle!

I have lived around many of this men if God. Most of them misuse their offices- or better still people are just not responsible. If an adult has to run to another man for any decision he has to make (marriage, work...) he remains immature all his life. A good man of God would wean dependent people off himself- which is the essence of his office, abi his own holy spirit is different?
FYI, pastors are getting divorced aplenty, many of their wives are not 'really' Happy, some just put up an act.
Reminds me of a scene in Roots (kinta kintay). The father of Kinta goes to the medicine man on his name day to ask what name he should call him. The medicine man asks if his wife has been cheating on him, he replies, 'no,' the man then tells him if it's his son, it's his business.
Someone who's ready for marriage won't be jumping around with a list of names seeking peoples opinions. The same person will still run around in the marriage seeking 'help' when two adults (alone) could just mind their business and their marriage.
Atheists are having happy marriages if you don't know.
Marriage should be a union of two people who have agreeable mindsets- whether a Bonnie and Clyde or Enoch and Folu Adeboye.
Most marriages fail not because they didn't love each other but because they didn't know how to live together- Myles Munroe (paraphrased).
My sister got married without telling anybody because a madman told her she wouldn't conceive if she does so. Other siblings have had normal marriages without wahala- even the children of the so called 'God's mouthpiece'
A 'man' makes his decisions and lives with the consequences.
If a girl has to carry my name up and down, she isn't ready yet, bye bye.

On masturbation:

Wondering how a young man with a problem down below will give semen for analysis... maybe a giant needle will be stuck into his 'shumtin' to suck it out?

On smoking:
I know students were punished for not smoking in Eton college in the 1600s( when it was believed it protected against the plague). Now we know it's a bad habit which everybody should avoid. If smoking tobacco is a sin against God, can I chew tobacco instead- or kolanut?

On drinking alcohol:

I concur with the OP. Been drinking little alcohol since I was a boy (little palm wine, little wine) and I have 'never' been drunk. If a man decides to abstain, that's his business.

Nobody lived on Nairaland. Unless you know anyone

Cheers bro!

You are no more a corper Doctor now a Doctor Spectator. While busy taking care of your acclaimed un-eqiped injured soldier you still have the time to go outside the barrack to watch film show of the only two APC from you barrack that is been driven out. Find another story abeg

Oga I'm in the North-east with an artillery division ( I don't live on nairaland). U don't have to be patronizing, you know, I have read your other posts... I believe you are pro-GEJ and it's blinding
you to reason. If our army is well equipped as u want to believe, then nobody has to fuss about arms acquisition as we currently are. I don't have to convince u I live in an army barracks- that's your wahala.

engineerboat:
Whos are these abeg, dont start what you cannot finish.

This is not Medicine, did you carry out an operation with a machine you are not used to. Also is it every operation d at require cold environment or hot environment.

when you carry a gun that its not easy to get the bullet or repair done on time in the warfront, what did you want the army to do. Now that thte tiddes turn against the BHT which gun are they using.

Guess the soldiers are a bunch of fucking cowards that drop their weapons and run from the bathroom slippers wearing brutes. If they have been routing our army even though we have adequate weapons, nobody has to beg anybody for weapons or try to buy weapons. BTW, I can't tell a T-72 from a Panzer tank, I just know I'm appalled by the tanks that I see, if u can call them that. I've only seen two APC'S in my barracks that are worthy of the army,and the day they used them, a camera crew was following them about like they were made of gold ( I'm sure they posted the pictures somewhere as the standard issue of the army)

Please stop with the claims, i do not believe you and it actually makes you look like a liar. As I have said, the soldiers are provided with uniform allocation. That means that the soldiers are given money to buy their uniforms. That is the international best practice. And that might even give the soldiers extra money if they maintain their uniform well and don't need to buy new ones too often. As for the "2 clips of ammo" comment, that is not true. I have seen pictures of Nigerian soldiers loaded with mags. And I am getting tired of people whose only argument is a claim to be working in a position which offers them a knowledge not available to me. Rather bring proof instead of claiming something I can't verrify. I would like to remind you that a soldier who has a functionning gun and bullets is not underkitted. And Nigerian soldiers have helmets and bulletproof vest and uniforms on top of that. As for the budget, I personnaly analysed it and I arrived at my own conclusions, so trying to tell me otherwise is futile, especially with such a weak argument. I advise everybody to analyse the Nigerian security budget, to extract the part which is meant for defence and see for himself. My conclusion was that the military was underfunded.

Oga, u don win! I would lie because someone will pay me money? Picture this, picture that, abeg! We talking reality u talking pictures, do you know one soldier that gets the said uniform allowance? If the soldiers had enough ammo, why would they complain of being outgunned severally- so much 2 clips can do.

patriot4:
1st of all, thanks for making me make a 6th comment.
2) You do not actually know the budget of the military. For your information, the budget which is published is the security budget which comprises the dss, the nscdc, the police, costoms, road safety and army, navy, airforce. And it was around 5.9 billion dollars. Keep in mind that the police alone has an effectif of more than 300 000 personnel, that is to tell you the amount going for salary. Then you also have to look at barracks (including army, navy, airforce, mopol, policce, dss, costoms, nscdc barracks) rehabilitations. Then you have to look at pensions, then you have to look at maintenance of equipment, then you have to look at local manufacturing of weapons (eg: dicon weapons, igirigi, amebo, the war boat, etc...) Then finally you get the weapons procurement. And please never repeat again that Nigeria spends as much as Egypt in weapons, that is certainly not true. Egypt and algeria are africa's biggest spenders on weapons. Algeria alone spends 10 billion dollars on weapons yearly.
In my last analysis of the budget, I found out that after recurrent spendings, Nigerian armed forces (army, navy and airforce)were left with less than 1 billion dollars to spend on weapons. I invite you to go and look at the prices of the weapons you are fancying. And also keep in mind that a desperate costomer will always be asked to pay more money for the same product (that is how every market works). On the other hand egypt gets weapons from america for free and egypt gets donations from arab countries (several billionsof dollars) to procure weapons, and egypt adds even more billions to that money to buy even more weapons. Recently egypt bought a dozen of rafals, that alone would have been too much for even two years budget of the Nigerian armed forces, and the egyptian purchase for this year is only beginning, so no comparison is possible. An other problem is the fact that when Nigerian generals come out to call for the purchase of weapons, it is the masses of Nigerians who shout the generals down and call them thieves and also use the usual refrain "are we at war ?". Also, I would like you to consider the fact that te money disbursed and the budget are two different things. Then let me also question you about the "outdated weapons" comment. For your information, there is no such thing as outdated weapons. Weapons are not like the milk you buy in the market. Weapons have a purpose and a price range. If you need 90 tanks and you have a choice between two types: type A recently designed and type B designed 40 years ago. Keep in mind that both weapons perform the same role which you want to buy the weapons for. Then next you can look at your dwindling budget and ask yourself should I buy 20 A tanks or use the same money to buy 107 B tanks ? As for patiently waiting for the usa to agree to sell us weapons, I would like you to abandon that ludicrous idea. The usa has never sold weapons to Nigeria and never will. When Nigeria was patiently waiting for usa weapons, bht was busy taking land from us. If we had waited any longer, Nigeria would be called bht-land today. Unless you can convince bht to be patient and wait for the usa to agree to sell weapons to Nigeria (perharps in 100 years) before attacking any further, you shouldn't be asking Nigerians to be patiently waiting for usa approval while bht is killing their relatives.

If u think buying any tank is all that matters then wahala dey o! We could even buy those WW2 tanks and use them instead. If a ragtag group of fanatics could cause us so much wahala, what would happen when a mad African president wants to annex a part of our territory?

patriot4:
First of all, please don't claim what you can't prove, so untill you prove that you live in a barracks, nobody should believe that claim. And I wonder what you mean by "the average soldier is underkitted". for your info an individual soldier who has access to a gun is not "underkitted". And in our case, we are talking about soldiers who even wear helmets and bullet proof vests and are provided a uniform allowance (to buy the uniform and boots from army shops). If you expected each soldier to be driving an apc or an mrap then you must have confused Nigeria with the Klingoln confederacy. As for the comment of "rusty ak", it is verry unfortunate that your idea of the AKM is that of something rusty. Even the Egyptian military still uses the AKM. Besides, please try and provide proof of anything you state. (eg: show us pictures of the soldier you are describing, don't expect people to believe you without proof, because one can never know whom he is addressing on the web).

I'm a corper doctor in one of the army barracks. Would I ask the 'soldiers' to wait and snap them so I can post on nairaland?! I treat them, drink with them and I'm privy to the life of a soldier- what the average civilian mightn't know. I love the military, love it from the outside but what I've seen on the inside is a group of people enslaved in the name of being soldiers and put in the gravest of dangers. You expect a regular soldier to pay 18k for a pair of boots from his paltry salary? You give him just 2 clips of ammo and expect him to face the 'barca' boys? Am not saying the AK is outdated, I'm just saying our soldiers don't deserve to carry the ones they do- rusty, very rusty! Some with bad safeties ( saw a man not to long who accidentally shot himself in the foot, a result of a bad safety, and with those funny wooden stocks I see. I'm not a soldier o, but soldiers and the officers I see complain a lot. I hear battlefront experiences everyday- how they were routed by Boko boys in some operations, how u are doomed when your two clips are exhausted...and forget the army being underfunded, we know how the generals roll ( leave matter for Matthias)
Bros the average Nigerian soldier is underkitted and underarmed!

I live in an army barracks and I ve seen firsthand, the level of rot in the army- the average soldier is 'underkitted' and 'underarmed'. All dis ur foto na wash. The soldier I see everyday still wears his worn boots and carries his rusty AK47 with a carpenter made stock.

Sometimes I think the so-called Nollywood renowned movie producers are overrated. They usually run out of concepts. I stopped watching this movie when Jon Snow died; just as I stopped watching Prison Break when Scofield died. It's just so silly of them to kill protagonists in the middle of their movies

Schofield died at the end naw! Ur brain don dey touch again?!

I will probably commit murder- I meant something close to it.

[color=#1980BC] Goons.....they lack the military intelligience to wait on Dauradullard's moronic decision to relocate the brain box of Nigeria's anti-insurgent fight into Maiduguri where they are very capable of scoring a direct hit on the very command quaters of these top echelon military class with a fussilade of artillery shells and RPGs thus wiping them out and gaining a very important strategic and precise victory that could set Nigeria back.....BH's problem is lack of tactical nous.We shudder to imagine the group led by ISIS advisers with tactical experience honed in the Battle of Ramadi,Aleppo and Mosul.

Mr know-it-all! If you were this smart, you prolly should be in a better position (in society) than you presently are now- blabber mouth!

GMB won't need all that coz three is enough- one for goats,another for Fulani cows and the last one for camels.

He can forget AsoRock bcoz he won't be inaugurated due to his fake certificate.

If he isn't sworn in... you don't wanna see what would happen afterwards

18 years or nothing! Or at least 16 yrs, 12 is still too young. Enough of this horrible practice

[color=#1980BC] Messi has a weak side like all human footballers and tis on his right foot..the trick is he always couch it on a miasma of footwork and dazzling runs just like Robben.Boateng was absolutely foolish going down like he was shot....The least he could have done was follow him up after the dribble to pressure him into a tame or a quick punt at Nuer just like Alves did in the first half..but no.He fell like a pack of cards and messi had all the whole time to lob Neuer..what an embarrassement. [/color]

. Your problem is you think you are soooo smart! It took 2 mins for Messi to get the ball and score abi? Someone gives correct 'ishakole' and u are speaking grammar, oshi!

ShowYourCertificate:
I wasn't a bit surprised. Shekau was Buhari's foot soldier. He succeeded in influencing Nigerians to see Jonathan as a weak president. He succeeded in influencing Nigerians into thinking it's only a general that can save us. He's the one who made Nigerians scream for change. Nigerians were influenced by Shekau and Buhari to vote for APC out of fear. He's definitely the most influential guy in Nigeria. Kudos to him.

Can this numb-skull just get a life? To think you are someone's child or parent... you will get what you deserve someday!

Sweatlock:
I see sincerity in him.From a physiological point of view he is telling the truth.

All I know is there is/was a transformer in front of his house.

I trust the PDP candidate, He wouldn't do such, all PDP candidates from Jonathan to even the councillorship candidates across the country are not sour losers like their counterparts in APC.
Nice one sir...

Snape no vex

Wonder how you sleep at night. This Folarin guy lives on my street... if you believe him, maybe you are gullible.
