HealthRe: The Moment A Couple Lost Their Child In A Government-Owned Hospital by IamJames: 7:01am On Dec 05, 2018
Eyinjuege2:
This man himself is wicked.
You could give him 500 naira comfortably to go home and bury his child, but couldn't drop anything to save the child's life, despite seeing the child was dying. Typical wicked man mentality.
Why couldn't you drop money for them to continue treatment on the child?



Then why are people blaming the staff there? Are they expected to drop their own money to pay for treatment? Many of these staff are also still being owed salary.
Pharmacies I'm sure will not give anything free to treat anyone.
It's a sad state of affairs in Nigerian hospitals, but its unfair to blame non executive staff who are also just there to earn their keep. If the drip was available, they would have used it. You can't expect a dr to continue treatment in Nigeria where there are no medicines and consumables available unless you buy them. It's not the way it is in sensible countries, but Nigerians are all in a bad situation.
Now that's the problem there. This is a government funded hospital and they receive allocations, so the question is where do these allocations go to? If things are done right, one is expected to pay very little or nothing when you go to government hospitals for treatment. This is what the spy wanted to expose.

Have you asked yourself if he had money to pay? That he went there as a spy, it could be his own personal way of trying to expose the rot in general hospitals.

PoliticsRe: Retired workers arrested for ‘plotting against el-Rufai’ by IamJames(op): 1:57pm On Nov 30, 2018
Breaking News: Praying to God over evil deeds of Elrufai is now considered to be a crime. Watch what you pray about.

Welcome to Nigeria.
PoliticsRetired workers arrested for ‘plotting against el-Rufai’ by IamJames(op): 1:52pm On Nov 30, 2018
Eight retired workers in Kaduna have been arrested for allegedly organising prayers against Nasir el-Rufai, governor of the state.

The workers claimed there were not paid their entitlements after they were disengaged by the Kaduna government.

Known as “Alqunuci”, the Islamic prayer is said to be powerful and is invoked by those seeking justice.

Emmanuel Dogo, leader of Kaduna state Retired Workers Forum, alleged that el-Rufai, ordered the arrest of his retired colleagues.

Dogo said the retirees resorted to the prayer because they could no longer cater for their families.

“All efforts to make the government pay our entitlements had proved abortive, so what we do is to pray for God’s intervention,” he said.

“It is because of this prayers that the governor ordered for the arrest of eight of our members in Zaria. Yesterday (Thursday), they were asked to report to Kaduna state police command.

“They were later taken to the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) and were detained. We have been to the state CID, trying to find out what their offence but they told us that they will charge to court.”

When contacted, Alice Ayuba, chairperson of Kaduna State Disengaged Women Teachers Forum, said both Muslims and Christians who were sacked and not paid, constituted prayer groups.

Ayuba said they have been praying for God’s intervention.

“Retired workers used to hold prayer programmes and according to what I heard, in Zaria, where our Muslim brothers were praying, the governor ordered for their arrest because they saying the Muslim prayers called ‘Alqunuci’,” she said.

“I am not a Muslim, but I am told that very powerful prayers that are usually offered there. Like me that I am talking to you, I served the government for 16 years. I was sacked without being given anything. I am the chairperson of Disengaged Women Teachers Forum, Kaduna state, while those who were arrested belong to the Kaduna state Retired Workers forum.

“But we work hand because we are pursuing the same goal. Since there is nobody to fight for us, we resorted to tell God our complaints, because we believe that only God can fight this injustice for us since the governor is very powerful and nobody can face him. So we have handed everything to God, that is what led to this kind of prayers.”

Efforts to get the reaction of Yakubu Sabo, spokesman of the Kaduna state police command, and Samuel Aruwan, spokesman of el-Rufai, did not yield the desired result.

Yes it started during Yar Adua's time and it was all religious then but it took another dimension under GEJ, it became political. The Northern elites and power hungry APC made it political.

The sudden quietness is the face of continuous rampage of Boko Haram tells you the political undertones in the unfortunate abduction of innocent girls. Over the weekend, our 44 brave soldiers were massacred by these bloody demons but Shettima and co has become mute cows. No more road shows and granting of interviews to foreign media.

The quietness is just too loud. This only confirms that they know what they were doing then. More than 44 soldiers killed and no uproar or protest like they did back then.
PoliticsNo Regrets Working Against Jonathan, Say ACF, NEF by IamJames(op): 6:01am On Nov 22, 2018
The Arewa Consultative Forum and the Northern Elders’ Forum on Wednesday defended their opposition to ex-President Goodluck Jonathan when he contested the 2011 and the 2015 presidential elections.

The groups, in separate interviews with The PUNCH, indicated that they had no regrets for their position in the two elections.

On its part, the ACF while justifying its position, said leaders should learn to honour their words.

The spokesman for NEF, Prof. Ango Abdullahi, told one of our correspondents on the telephone that the North worked against the former President because he and his party jettisoned the power shift (zoning) policy.

He said the forum never hid the reason for working against Jonathan, as according to him, “We told him(Jonathan)why we worked against him,” he stated.

He added that the forum expected the former President to respect the zoning formula shortly after the death of the late President Umaru Yar’Adua but regrettably, Jonathan and his party reneged on the zoning agreement.

The former Ahmadu Bello University vice-chancellor, stated, “Yes, it is true that Northern Elders’ Forum worked against Jonathan and we told him why.

“They themselves (PDP) admitted that they made a mistake in reneging on the power shift and why what happened happened,” the spokesman said.

On its part, the ACF adduced the same reason for working against the former President and his party, saying Jonathan contested in 2011 and 2015 against the arrangement of his party that zoned the presidency to the North.

The National Publicity Secretary of the ACF, Alhaji Muhammad Ibrahim-Biu, told one of our correspondents that the former President’s assertion that the North worked against him was odd, considering the “circumstances at that time.” The spokesman admonished Nigerian leaders to always honour agreements they entered into.

He said, “It is on record that Jonathan contested the 2011 and 2015 polls against the zoning arrangement of his party that zoned the presidential slot to the North.

“Therefore, his assertions that Northern leaders and socio-political groups in the North worked against his presidency is rather odd, considering the circumstances at that time.

“Yet the ruling party secured 25 per cent in most states of the North. It may interest you to know that his party has since admitted the oversight in the party winning game plan.”

He added, “This clearly means that leaders should always honour their words with deeds if they want to earn the respect of their followers.”

The former President, in his new book, ‘My Transition Hour’ had said that he battled opposition from Northern leaders and socio-political groups, which felt he was usurping power from the region.

Jonathan said the northern power blocs had tried to deny him his constitutional right of contesting the 2010 presidential election after the death of President Umaru Yar’Adua in 2010.

According to him, despite the threats and opposition, he was able to win the 2011 election.

PoliticsJonathan’s My Transition Hours An Elementary Book Of Fiction – Borno Gov by IamJames(op):
Borno State Governor, Alhaji Kashim Shettima, on Wednesday dismissed the book former President Goodluck Jonathan launched on Tuesday as an “elementary book of fictions,” that lacks courage.

He said the book, ‘My Transition Hours,’ by the former president was a clever attempt to sweep incontrovertible facts on the abduction of Chibok schoolgirls under the carpet.

He also tongue-lashed the former president, who in the book among other allegations, says Shettima and the rest of the All Progressives Congress conspired in the kidnapping of the Chibok schoolgirls.

Shettima said it was clear to him after reading the former president’s book, that “he still lives with poor understanding of issues under his presidency.”

Shettima, who said he read through the book Tuesday’s night, argued that Jonathan’s claim on page 31 that Boko Haram wanted a Muslim president was laughable because the insurgents actually began their deadliest attacks in Borno under the regime of the late President Umaru Musa Yar’Adua, a Muslim from northern Nigeria.

He said the former president deliberately omitted in chapter four of his book, an investigative report submitted to him in June 2014 by the presidential facts-finding committee he constituted in May 2014, which was mandated to gather evidence-based facts and circumstances on the abduction.

Shettima, also in his reaction to the book, contained in a statement by his spokesman, Mallam Isa Gusau, criticised the allegations contained in chapter four titled ‘The Chibok Schoolgirls Affair”, adding that Jonathan was wrong to have indicated that the schoolgirls’ abduction was a product of conspiracy by the then opposition All Progressives Congress and the Borno State Government.

He said that contrary to the claim by the former President that the Borno State Government and a former United States President Barack Obama undermined efforts to rescue the Chibok girls in 2014, the truth is that Jonathan never believed there was ever an abduction until rescue efforts were late.

“The former President’s elementary book of tales fell short of the courage required of him to publish findings by his own panel in chapter four of his book.

“The whole of Tuesday night, I took the pains of reading His Excellency, former President Goodluck Jonathan’s book, ‘My Transition Hours,’ from the first to the 177th page. I took particular interest in chapter four (the Chibok schoolgirls affair) which has 42 paragraphs written from pages 27 to 36. I was amused that despite admitting in paragraph 15 that he had (in May 2014) constituted a Presidential Fact-Finding Committee under Brigadier-General Ibrahim Sabo and many others “to investigate” the Chibok abduction, former President Jonathan refused to mention any part or whole of the findings by that panel which had submitted a highly investigative report to him on Friday, June 20, 2014, after the panel held investigative meetings with the then Chiefs of Defence Staff; Army Staff; Air Staff; the Director-General, Department of State Services and Inspector General of Police, met all security heads in Borno, visited Chibok, met with parents of abducted schoolgirls, met surviving students, interrogated officials of the school and the supervising ministry of education, interrogated officials of West African Examinations Council and analysed all correspondences.

“What has become very clear is that the former President decided to sit on facts in his custody while he published, in an elementary standard, a book of fictions designed to pass guilty verdicts to anyone but himself, with respect to the open failures of his administration to rescue our daughters and in tackling the Boko Haram challenges,” Shettima was quoted by his spokesman.

The governor declared that by refusing to publish any part of his own panel’s findings on the Chibok abduction, Jonathan’s book was nothing short of a presidential tale by midday.”

Shettima said, “For the records, on Tuesday, the 6th of May, 2014, President Jonathan had inaugurated multi-agency/stakeholder fact-finding panel under the chairmanship of Brig.-General Ibrahim Sabo (retd), a one-time director of military intelligence and also appointed a secretary from the Niger Delta. President Jonathan single-handedly selected all members of that committee which included his trustees amongst serving and retired security officers from the army, DSS and police; representatives of the United Nations and Economic Community of West African states, representatives of the Chibok community, local and international civil rights organisations, representatives of the National Council on Women Societies, the Nigeria Union of Journalists, among other persons he trusted.

“For almost two months, the probe panel undertook forensic assessment of all documents on the entire issues, held investigative meetings with parents of the schoolgirls during a visit to Chibok. The panel held separate one-on-one investigative meetings with myself, the then Chief of Defence Staff, Chief of Army Staff, Chiefs of Air and Naval Staff, met the then Director General of the DSS and the Inspector General of Police, all of whom were appointees of President Jonathan.

“The panel interrogated officials of Borno State Government including the Commissioner of Education and the school principal. The panel also held investigative meetings with heads of all security agencies in Borno State including security formations in charge of Chibok. At the end, the panel submitted its report directly to President Jonathan on Friday, the 20th of June, 2014 in Abuja. President Jonathan has refused to make public the findings submitted to him. I was expecting the findings in his book but he has deliberately swept that report under the carpet.

“However, I remember that on June 24, 2014, the ThisDay Newspaper claimed to have obtained a copy of the panel’s report and published as its lead, that painstaking findings by the presidential panel had indicted the military under Jonathan’s watch and completely absolved the Borno State Government of any blame regarding the Chibok abduction. The newspaper went further to say that panel actually commended efforts of the Borno State Government in its commitment to the fight against Boko Haram as testified by heads of security establishments.”

Shettima added, “We know for a fact that as vicious cycle of evil, Boko Haram fighters do not care about the religion of their targeted victims. They attack mosques and churches; they are lunatics who regard anyone who doesn’t share their ideology as an infidel. So, I wonder how the former President didn’t take time to understand the biggest challenge under his presidency.”

The governor advised Jonathan to write a second book on account of his presidency which should contain the facts as have been presented to him, regarding the Chibok abduction rather than the fiction he made public on Tuesday.
