The truth is we Southerners are slaves to the North, See, we need votes from the North to win Presidential elections. So we have to play by their rule. You see why everyone needs to go on their own?

they equally need our votes to win.

No one can will nigeria without getting good chunks from each region.

This is disgusting to me

VOsimhen144:
AK-47 is N560,000
A Pack of 1,000 bullets is N150,000
Gun licence at Eleweeran is N55,000

A word is enough for the wise, No be everything I go dey tell una.

do they give gun license for AK-47?

Of course they won't.

Helinuse:
Facebook didn’t delete the account.

It is the Nigerian government that tweaked the law, subverting the independence of these media systems, making it possible for them to request information and make changes to their operations at anytime they so wish to.

no.

Facebook deleted the account. Facebook could have stood for the truth but it always bend over to anyone so long as its interest is fulfilled.

It stands for nothing other than money it can gain.

Telegram will never do such a thing. Likewise Twitter.

There is something called standing up for the truth and such is not in the dictionary of Facebook.

They bow to any power. It doesn't matter if the power is good or evil, whether it's true or lies so long as they can guarantee it's operation.

That's not a show of integrity but greed and lack of integrity.

It's normal thing na.

Facebook has never stood with the oppressed before.

Facebook always ride on the back of the ones with power. It's interest comes first before anything else

As long as you're the one doing the killings (showing that you're dominant in a country), Facebook will back you.

It has always been like that.

Why are these politicians so afraid to speak for a their own people directly?

These Fulanis and hausa will say all růbbish but you a southerners and westerners will be speaking with fear.

What exactly are they afraid of?

You are afraid to speak and you think you're in power and scared of loosing your power.

But what is power when you cant speak your mind?

That butterfly for chest and the posture of that nigga and it seems he has red lipstick too.

Sorry to say but

These guys GAYbriels are not pure.

DiarisGodoo:
I don't have to. People have different abilities.
If you as a 3-year old say all things about my grandpa that nobody knows I'd also believe you

I understand you.

There are people who also spoke to different beings or spoke about different things But we don't believe everyone of them.

It's important we separate and know what we believe from what is fact.

Try it out and see if they will arrest you though

DiarisGodoo:
Except that REALITY proves you wrong. There are countless cases of children who clearly remembered their previous lives!

but you don't remember yours.

Yet you believed theirs.

bixton:
The first thing to do is to find out if that directive is enshrined is enshrined(documented) as part of Taraba State laws and passed through the Taraba State Assembly as a lawful order for the State.

you funny boss.

Dtruthspeaker:
Do you real eyes that you are committing the same offence you accuse others of committing? That is "Everything anyone says is something they learned from others who has not seen it before"

For, you too did not see these things you say, so you are wrong just like the others.

Meanwhile, Christ Jesus came from heaven, and was there when this world and us began yet you do not believe Him. Anyway, it's the exercise of your right.

I am not committing the same thing.

It is a fact that we have no idea of where we came from, or if we came from anywhere.

It is also a fact that we only became aware of the world the moment we became conscious.

The world also disappears completely when we become unconscious or falls deeply asleep.

These are facts we can all agree with. No one needs to tell us this or we need to 'believe' it.

It's something we have all experienced.

But none of us has been to any other side for a fact.

We have not been there before we were born. We have no memories of it if we have ever died and come back to testify to it personally.

Instead we have other individuals who are exactly like us but who insist they are not like us and that they have experienced these other sides.

Who said we must believe these their accounts of the other sides.

Unfortunately, the accounts are as varied as there are multiple religions.

Sirchiboy:
When people die. Where do they go. I want to know.

what was it like before you were born?

It wasn't nothing.

It just wasn't. Nothing was before you were born. Not even your 'self'.

The world unfolds almost immediately you became conscious.

It's the same when you die. The world folds up immediately and there's that emptiness. Not darkness but emptiness.

We can't imagine this complete nothingness.

As such, we do not come from anywhere at least not one we can point to. And we do not go anywhere, at least not one we can point to.

Everything anyone says is something they learned from others who has not seen it before

As seen on Victor's page today on Facebook

AN APPEAL FOR JUSTICE IN TARABA STATE

I wish to bring to the attention of the public and the Government of Taraba State the situation surrounding my brother’s arrest and continued detention.

On the 18th of September 2025, my brother encountered cows destroying his rice farm. While attempting to chase the animals out of his farmland, the herder involved allegedly attacked him with a cutlass and a stick. In an effort to protect himself from harm, my brother managed to disarm the attacker, resulting in a minor injury to the herder.

Despite the clear elements of self-defense, my brother was arrested. We were later informed that, in line with a directive said to be from the Taraba State Government, anyone who injures another person is required to pay a total sum of ₦5,000,000 before release.

Since then, I have been contributing ₦70,000 every Monday to meet the weekly demand of ₦150,000, all toward this ₦5 million requirement. This situation has placed a heavy emotional and financial burden on my family.

This raises very important questions:

Is this policy serving justice in cases where citizens act purely in self-defense?

What is the purpose and destination of the ₦5 million penalty in circumstances like this?

How do farmers protect their livelihoods when defending themselves can lead to such severe punishment?

I respectfully appeal to the Executive Governor of Taraba State, His Excellency Dr. Agbu Kefas, to kindly review this matter. My brother acted only to protect his life and his farm. We are pleading for fairness, compassion, and a reconsideration of his case.

Your Excellency, please intervene and grant my brother the justice he deserves.

Being the first to comment here is a sign I will one day become the president of this country.

I promise you, I'll be a good and honorable president. I'll turn this country around

Vote for me now o

It's not just content creators. It's the attitude of the people.

As well as our reputation in the international community. So far, we've done nothing to clear our image.

How we are being conditioned to chase money all through our lives.

He barely won the last election. I doubt he's powerful enough to ask his opponent in the APC to step down for him

In Nigeria, doctors and lecturers work multiple hospitals and universities respectively.

Lifestone:
Your post only confirmed my argument. I have been a victim of misdiagnosis, I'm still battling with it.
I do not have problems with Doctors seeking second opinions from Medical Sources, but Google is an open source.

lolz.

Google is a better option for doctors.

You are just holding up to an argument that doesn't hold water.

Because you Google something and get wrong info doesn't mean everyone else is getting wrong info.

More so, it's your inability to filter information.

If i am an economist, I Google "what is economy?"

As a trained economist, I know what to look for in the millions of results that comes up. I know websites that are authorities in such a field or those that comes close to what I'm looking for.

An untrained student will visit many of such garbage websites. But a trained specialist will know what they are looking for.

You are not a doctor and so when you Google something about health, you are a novice learning and so all the information looks legit to you.

A trained doctor already have background knowledge and seek confirmation or more information and so he cherry picks.

Even the textbooks you claim that you prefer will not make the diagnosis for the doctor. You also have the same textbooks at your disposal but because you're not trained, you can't make the diagnosis regardless of reading them.

But a trained doctor will consult the same textbooks and it'll help him reach the diagnosis.

Understand the concept of tools and references and maybe you'll rethink your mindset.

And BTW, there's a reason Google is the best search engine on the planet for over 20 years and still counting.

Those who know what they are looking for understands that Google is the best at fetching the right resources.

And that's why they succeed.

But to those who don't understand what Google is, they feel it's all garbage.

Sometimes it's not the tool that's faulty but your knowledge and use of the tool.

And so, a doctor who doesn't know what he's doing will fail a diagnosis regardless of whether he's his head alone, checking textbooks or reading from google.

Because his background knowledge is just not sufficient.

But a doctor with sufficient knowledge becomes even more powerful when he combines his head with a textbook or Google.

It's like cheating in the exam hall. If you have an idea of how the solution to the question should go, you don't have to waste your time copying everything you browse with your phone.

You check the necessary sections, and if it doesn't feel right you'll know almost immediately and if it's right you can just copy where necessary.

But if you don't have an idea or background information on how the solution should go, you'll carry your textbook, phones and laptops and still fail the same exam because there are terrible answers on the internet and also not all parts of a textbook will answer the questions right.

Let your doctor be free to explore as many tools as possible. It's important.

Thanks

Lifestone:
I'm not as ignorant as you thought. I will certainly have problems with my Doctor checking Google of all search engines to diagnose me. I will certainly not be returning there.
It's even worse that the doctor is doing so openly for me to notice. A lot of psychology in healing.
My advise to you when you begin your practice is that patience like us are uncomfortable with our Doctors use Google to diagnose us to our full glare

lolz.

A confident doctor is your worst enemy. A doctor that knows his limit and look for additional info even if he knows what's wrong with you is your best friend.

We once went on a ward round with our resident doctor. We met a new patient in the neurological ward.

He asked us to clerk the patient before he comes around. We clerked the patient and came up with a diagnosis.

He came back and performed additional physical examination, those that we students 'forgot' to carry out.

And he explained why our diagnosis is wrong even when the symptoms are very similar.

We knew the condition he talked about but we were overwhelmingly convinced that the other one is the right diagnosis.

But he explained to us convincingly why his is the right one.

We do these ward round with two residents. And both confirmed these diagnosis and entered it into the patient's record.

The next day was the consultant ward round. Since this is the teaching hospital, the consultant will almost always treat new patients before the residents.

He has the final say.

He came the next day and made a whole new diagnosis and pointed out the mistake the resident doctors made including telling them that a symptom they thought was present was not actually present.

What I'm trying to say is, 90% of the time, you'll be meeting young doctors not as experienced as the expert consultant..

You rarely meet those outside.

But even they can make mistakes. Humans are prone to mistakes and doctord are not excluded.

In fact, misdiagnosis is a real issue in the health sector such that most doctors don't even want autopsy on their patients (we've had a lengthy discussion on this as a topic in medical school).

Please no allow your ignorance kill you o. If your doctor must confirm something, allow him to confirm it.

It's better he learns more, understand the uncertainty and acknowledge them.

Than making a pronouncement so you'll feel confident. There's no going back on a doctor's mistake

Lifestone:
How is he a good Doctor? Google is an open search place, with all manners of junks, how does that makes him better than referring him to a specialist if he can't handle his case.

lolz.

Google in your hand is not the same as Google in the hands of a doctor.

A paint looks ordinary but in the hands of a professional painter it's beautiful.

How you read health articles on Google won't be how a doctor does.

For a number of symptoms there are different diseases that could cause it. These are called differentials.

Sometimes you can pinpoint a particular disease just by looking at other times, you want to know as many differentials as possible.

Let doctors use chatgpt, Google and any other thing as much as possible please.

More information is always helpful when it comes to diagnosis. And treatment.

Doctors are also human. Their brain also fail them sometimes especially when you're coming to with something they've not treated anyone for in years.

Secondly, most of the patients can't even afford to go see a specialist.

Yeah it's sweet to say "refer to a specialist" on the internet.

In reality, doctors prescribe the cheapest antibiotics for most patents because they can't afford the best ones.

Our consultant once told us of a man who was ranting about being referred to a specialist.

He returned to the same doctor after getting to speak with the specialist on phone because in the end, he realized he couldn't even afford the bill to see him face to face.

I'm a medical student BTW.
