Yoshi-Master:
Wait, so LIMPOPO is a place?

Soooo, why does that guy say "oya limpopo", I am getting closer to unravelling these mysteries.

tnwmag.com:
@OP, great topic. The lady has been on my mind since I heard the news of her passing. I had actually met her before and she seemed a pleasant lady.

I guess something that got me thinking about Ewar's case is why was she under general anaesthesia? I have never had CS but from what I understand, women are given an epidural which numbs the pain from waist down but the mother is aware throughout the procedure. I am just wondering why general anaesthesia was used in this case. Is this the norm in Nigeria? Can a doctor please explain why?

I have also heard that most Teaching Hospitals give all women episiotomy during delivery irrespective of circumstance. I have confirmed from a few doctor friends and it seems to be a standard process. Again, can a doctor explain why? While I was having my first child, the doctor was trying hard to make sure that I did not have a single tear and so it is quite hard to understand why the women are just cut anyway in Nigeria.

Whether we want to admit it or not, our healthcare is in shambles and I don't entirely blame the care givers. My family think I am OTT but I have informed that them even if I have a headache, they should not take me to a hospital in Nigeria. I have lost quite a few close people to negligence in that country. Truth is Ewar stood a good chance no matter her condition if she was elsewhere but Nigeria. Sad but the absolute truth.

jennykadry: Live in denial all you want ,darling.

kettykin: If Nigeria Breaks it is not only the North that is at risk, The middle belters will be at great risk of invasions by Northerners who would be very very restive.
While the South East will be under intense need for land for expansion and extension thisl would lead to constant friction with the Benue /Kogi axis and the Niger Delta.

The Niger Delta would be at bigger risk because of wars for domination and ownership of cities like warri , Portharcour and the Ilaje areas , big war if i may say.

The south West will face new risk of invasion along the Kabba axis and illorin axis while the outflow of foreign investment will turn Lagos into a worse city than Ibadan where riff raffs , touts and hooligans masquerading as Tinubu boys would take over everything with Investors pulling off what ever they can and relocating to Ghana and south Africa.
This would turn the South West in to the poorest zone in Africa

fydence: that 'someone' must have bn high on something illegal...how is mali or cote d'voire?

9ja_I_hail: This will be a right move only if Tinumbu and opposition parties do not play politics with this, forgetting that national interest should not be use to score cheap political point.

GEJ administration is the first Nigeria Govt to fight for it citizens right internationally.

daywatcher: If na 'oyinbo' make am we go dey praise am like say he jus invent flying machine...but na black make this one so we go yab am...smh for the black race

johnie: Both New Road (which leads to the beach) and Alpha Beach-Lafiaji Road (which runs parallel to the ocean banks) need urgent attention.

New Road used to lead to one of the most active tourist spots in Lagos, Alpha Beach, until recently. The tourism potential of the area has now been killed by the neglect of both the Federal and State Government.

In addition to that, there are scores of poor and middle class people who live at Alpha Beach, some already displaced from their ancestral homes.

The president and state governor have both visited the site. They flew to the site by helicopter (I know for sure the president did) and made promises but nothing is yet to be done.

I personally take exception to the notion that only the rich and affluent live in Lekki. This is just an unfortunate generalisation which must stop!

There are communities in Lekki whose only link to 'civilisation' are roads that were constructed by DFRRI (during the Babangida years).

ballabriggs: It is not feasible and I will give you some reasons. You do not just do it because you hear others are doing it.

Firstly, most ECOWAS countries do not have the same economic cycle. To share a single currency is to lose control of your monetary policy. In fact Nigeria with a lesser risk than these other countries will be stupid to dollarise its currency. A bit technical and I might need a chart to explain what I mean.

Secondly, the volume of inter-ECOWAS trade between member countries is a small proportion of the total trade of these countries. Makes absolutely no sense to then dollarise when there are still barriers to trade between members.

oche_ejemb: Going by these figures, thats a whopping 30million pounds per year. Sounds like a good short term interest free loan to me!

igemi: After dis incident so many lady are till doing online dating,dey are till going far. All beco of what? Money, sex.Or big gals. Na wa ooooooooo

mollytinrox: whether her relatives or friends do the same everywhere, there's no justification for what has been done.

my heart goes out to the hurting husband...

toffinc: Are you serious? How do you know they are doing their job? What makes lagos different from other states? lol

@immkels:

Brimmie: Ondo State; State That Breeds Bastards Of Yoruba Lineage!! Most Especially Their Governor!!

Dem Suppose Beat Am Join!!

Dap07: lemme use bante beat u first, then u'll know..

tatosh: The only way to effectively eliminate traffic on Lagos roads is the provision of complimenting modes of transport most especially rail transport. Lagos traffic would miraculously vanish like bubbles. That is a fact

Diasporan: [b]I took my time to watch and digest the video and didn't see anywhere the Minister was disgraced.Infact i don't use to be his fan but after this video i started having a rethink about him.Even some of the Speakers acknowledged his dexterity and finese in handling issues and even said the President was opportune to have his kind of person serve as the Minister of Information.He made his points clear and for Dino's own speech same old story of accusation of the Petroleum Minister.Nigeria is a democratic Government therefore concern citizens like Dino and his likes can simply take her to court.We all remember the story of Godwin Oru and Goodnews Agbi taking the Former Delta state Governor to court on corruption and Ex-convict charges.If she is found guilty then the law takes her toll on the accused Minister.Like Maku pointed out the case is in the court.Cause one can't be sacked on mere accusation and in few cases after being indicted by committees i believe so in this case.
A regular visitor of NL especially if you are living in diaspora you will think the country's future is bleak and all those opposing the Government are saint.Minister Maku made a salient point at the beginning of his speech 0:50 That "Some people have this perception that everybody in Government is a leper and that some after living the Government tend to want to see themselves as Saint" those are words on a marble.The lack of constructive criticism by the Opposition lay credence to that Mr. Maku's statement which is not far from the truth.What makes a real Democratic government operate smoothly is the ability of opposition to tender reasonable and constructive criticism and not just what they can manufacture in order to stair or ignite the polity.In a saner Democratic clime infact some reasonable criticism are considered by the serving administration especially if it is for the betterment of the masses but in Nigeria it is the other way round.Instead blogs and nasty forums are created to malign the administration i.e THIS USELESS THREAD.The issue of Nigeria really gives me a sleepless night considering the fact that i still have my friends and loved ones back there.Lastly i must praise Labaran Maku for attending such an occasion and standing to defend his Boss achievement so far on the power sector.It shows he the Minister is focused and not deterred and also humble and not scared of being lampooned by the progressives.Indeed he is a man of the people.Once an Aluta is always an Aluta.Mr.Maku i dough my hat for you[/b]

arcis: No course for alarm, all illegal APC should sheat their swords and join the progressives APC. let's push out the PDPs incessant anomalies once and for all. Enough is enough.
