Jokerman:
Nigerians are scared, ashamed and sore losers... no wonder, Buhari is toiling with them...

This applies to only a certain part of Nigeria - not all Nigerians lost.

idupaul:
Will you keep kwayet

Truth is bitter, only the brave and honest can face it - seemingly you are not.

ephi123:
When you were derailing with your initial responses you didn't know then right? Please go and take a seat. I'm done with you.

Basic education is free, spread the news.

Unfortunately, your free education does not seem to have done you much good; since you cannot even differentiate between derailing and completely going off topic; besides my responses were always on point, I never deviated from the topic - except after being induced to react to your bigotry.

Rayhutar:
[/b]People are afraid because a tyrant is in power and he is ready to kill any protester[b], now that oil prices is down fuel price is supposed to be cheaper, in Europe, US,Asia,other African countries prices of fossil fuel has gone down drastically, [/b]prices go up when oil prices go up[b]

Nonsense, we are in a democratic setting where the three major institutions of governance (the executive, legislature & judiciary) are being strengthen and mutually checking themselves.
The tyranny you spoke of is merely imaginary; the present occupant of Aso Rock is a democrat; only the corrupt and those flouting the law have reason to fear - particularly anyone threatening the integrity of the nation.
The current fall in oil price cannot automatically translate to lower fuel pump price under the ongoing circumstances, because it would mean less forex earnings to satiate the taste of Nigerians for foreign imported finished goods - some as unnecessary as tooth picks or ogbono and egusi soup that are being manufactured locally in the country; while unfortunately being made to compete detrimentally for the same scarce forex against the importation of more relevant goods.
Don't forget we still have to import petrol since most of our refineries are not functional; while their residual capacity is furthermore being undermined by ND militants.

ephi123:
I guess you will conveniently forget all the Northerners who have ruled this nation and run it aground, IBB, Abdusalami, Abacha and co. Leave those ones and be focusing on Jonathan who ruled for just a term and half. They ran the country aground, looted it dry and yet failed to develop their regions. We see people from other regions achieving great goals in different walks of life outside the country, but almost zero from yours, the only thing they know how to do is sit down in Abuja and pull the nation backwards. What a shame. What a huge shame.

Go and get your region educated. Eod. Being among the less than 0.00001% that are educated is nothing to be proud of. The other regions have pulled their weight, you guys should PULL YOURS. Rather than contributing menaces like Boko haram, Fulani herdsmen, Underaged child bride, Adult and children beggars on the streets of Lagos. Thank you.

By the way, if you can't see from the realities on ground (inflation out of the roof, economy in state of coma, worsening standards of living) that people are justified in complaining about this current govt, then sorry I can't help you.

Typical educated illiterate blinded by hate and bigotry; pls can somebody help me ask this person how is the drivel she just typed in anyway related to my post or even the topic of this thread?

Go on, keep exposing yourself.

ezeagu:
Complete trash, I don't know why I share a continent with beings like the above.

Why don't you pack and leave; what's stopping you? - no one will miss you, it shall be good riddance to bad rubbish

The two circumstances are not the same:

Back then, the major forex earner, crude oil sold above $100 while the government, led by the Clueless Jogogoro presided over an unprecedented looting and squandermania of national resources with his famous shameless - Stealing is not Corruption - words of endorsement for this kleptomania.

Presently, Nigerians are having to squarely face and suffer the consequential realities of their stolen and wasted future under the Jonathan administration - Buhari has not charmed Nigerians; they are not blind nor stupid; they have come to realise and accept the truth.

ephi123:
See this one. You think everyone is backward like you guys. A normal sane reasoning person will not assume every critique is "hate"

Backward beings. Go and educate the numerous kids littered all over the place begging in your region instead of wasting valuable time on NL.

Education zilch. Development zilch, and you are here making noise.

Not surprised that you chose to side step the bone of contention between us, seeing that you had no counter argument against my position and therefore quickly resorted to the usual easy escape route of insults and name calling.

By the same token, since when does accusing someone of hate automatically equates his the accuser to being backward - so much for your unique advancement.

Deny as much as you like; however, your hateful posts and fixation against this president and his government in particular and the north/northerners in general are all out there and visible for all to see - look into the mirror and you will see a bigot.

As for education, lest we forget how we were misgoverned by a Clueless Phd holder for 6yrs paired with his other half (also an alleged degree holder) a.k.a our national embarrassment, the Shepopotamus; when the country lost all her credibility and became the laughing stock among nations - yes, so much for your much touted superior southern education, a significant of which being aided by exam malpractice, purchased or certificate forgery.

ephi123:
The good thing is Nigerians are no longer deceived by the woeful leader called Buhari. And your opinion cannot change that reality. What a failure. Failed a country twice. Shame.

The good thing about democracy is that majority carries the vote; so the hateful minority like you will have to contend with living in their misery for another 2-3yrs till 2019, and possibly beyond.
As for now, Nigeria sai Buhari! LOL.
If you don't like, find the nearest lagoon; I am sure that Oba in Lagos will gladly assist.

ephi123:
Same thing I guess you will say with the baboons soaked in blood comment that led to election violence which resulted in some corpers losing their lives.

Is he the first or the only one who makes speeches? Why is it only his speech that ends up being "misrepresented by the media" time and again?

I maintain my stand that his utterances have been very divisive. A man who talks when he should keep quiet, and keeps quiet when he should speak.

If you had read my post carefully, you would have noticed that I included the infamous dog and baboon misquote; and in fact challenge you or anyone to prove me wrong.

Furthermore, Buhari's speeches are not the problem but those who deliberately choose to misinterpret them out of mischief or poor in comprehension.

Its a free world, so you are free to maintain your opion; which no doubt will have no effect to the true realities on the ground.

Pidgin2:
This affirmation stood out in your post. I guessed as much, one day I assure you, you shall be caught red handed and no amount of social media face saving propaganda will save you afterwards

Aha!
Another typical example of information manipulation driven by the dishonesty and hatred had I earlier been speaking about.
See how she shamelessly edited and twisted my post to allow only the words that suited her misguided agenda.
Go on, expose your bigot self some more.

Meanwhile, hope you can recognise yourself within my herd as I lead them to pasture.LOL

iamteegee:
Olosho full everywhere especially north where men disguise as women masquerade cloth to bleep!! Well I will just pass

You can continue living in denial; but if need a reality check then check your bloda Nnamdi Kanu, he will have one interesting statistic about 99.9% to explain to you.

iamteegee:
Hausa's and their stupid way of life!!! But that dude could be an alagi's son...what's my own there sef? Lemme go and bleep my gf now

Maybe thats why Oloshos full una side; no strategic system to reduce the surplus female:male ratio born and favoured by nature.

Rilwayne001:
IPOD TOUTS WILL CRY OVER THIS.

LOL, it seems they are!

ephi123:
Yeah so true, you are very right. Like the 97 - 5% utterance that Buhari himself made. He has caused far more disunity than any other Nigerian leader and led the way for others to do same. Eod.

The 95% vs 5% speech is exactly another example of the information mismanagement I had earlier mentioned.

If you had cared to refer to the full speech of Mr president (the full version of the video clip is still available in youtube; while the written transcript of same can also be traced using google search - for verification) you will quickly come to realise that he was deliberately being quoted out of context, in order to give his message an entirely opposite meaning to what he actually said - so as to malign him.

Again, you will observe that the media was and is still guilty of being willing collaborators in the propagation of this misinformation to the majority of the gullible public, because they (the media) have done nothing so far to correct this anomaly.

Pidgin2:
Are you one of the herdsmen?

If I am, then you must be among the cattle in my herd; since you chose to display intelligence no better than cattle.

ddippset:
Sentiments aside, 90% of people just sit down in their homes and pass a guilty verdict on the herdsmen. Yes there are stories about herdsmen allowing their cattle to trample upon farmlands and there are stories about herdsmen killing villagers but there are also stories about villagers hijacking cattle and killing them for meat and also villagers killing herdsmen over arguments. At the risk of sounding very very politically incorrect, I would say that much of the crimes committed against herdsmen go unreported and unpublicized while much of those committed by the herdsmen get publicized. Nevertheless the security guys must be more proactive to stop the killing of anybody. Anyone who kills in the name of herdsmen, farmers crisis should be hanged.

You are 100% correct; the poor perception of the public for the herdsmen is the result of information mismanagement where one side has the loudest voice and ear of the public.

The media has woefully failed in giving factual and balanced report over the issue; they often invite only one side to discuss or relate opinions forgetting that there are always two sides to a story.
In this way, the herdsmen are always seen as the aggressors; while their nomadic lifestyle, poor education and lack of exposure lends them no voice and access to the media to counter such false claims against them.
The bias by the media is not surprising because majority of the houses are owned, manned and controlled by the largely Christian southerners who in turn have long established open hatred for the Hausa Fulani and Islam.

At the same time, political leaders are fanning the embers of hate and mistrust among the ppl through so many unguarded utterances and loaded speeches of hate as ethnic champions - in order to advance their selfish agenda.

It is unfortunate that we live in a country where some ppl are hell bent on disuniting it.

Corrinthians:
Wike is trying to Islamize and Hausanize The South south--- Nnamdi Kanu Zombies.

LOL, the 1st picture said it all, see as how he was bowing in total submission to the Islamization and Hausanization - next is the SE, whether the wailers like it or not.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Why not compare a nurse intern to a doctor intern, and experienced nurse to an experienced doctor? Everything is wrong with comparing Sb in the lowest cadre to another in the highest cadre, in different professions.
Again, if a nurse likes, let her get PhD, it's still not the same content as to what the doctor studies. Different curriculum, roles, etc.

Many nurses learn stuff from doctors too.

The only thing constant in life is CHANGE and it seems you are unable to accept its existence within your profession.
Yes indeed, as at now the two professions are still quite distinct; yet they are slowly merging in their roles and it is possible to envisage that one day in the distant future they might even become indistinguishable - that is the simple message you are ignoring.
What you thought were direct comparisons were just tiny examples of this very change in progression.

InyinyaAgbaOku:
Complete piece of crap.
How about they didn't study the same curriculum in schools?

And what is it about comparing an EXPERIENCED FLOOR NURSE to an DOCTOR INTERN.
That's a useless comparison. But even at that, they don't have the same undergraduate curriculum, the intern doc will still know more about diagnosis whole the experienced nurse about nursing skills.
E no follow sef.
If you like, let the security man wear the same thing as doctors, even if e look like panadol, e no be panadil

What the article was clearly trying to say was that in recent times there is an increasing convergence in the roles of nurses and doctors, especially in view of enhancements in the academic content of their training, where some can even become Phd holders.
The article also gave experience as another factor for this convergence of roles, citing examples of task shifting e.g. giving prescription, surgical intervention etc.

Much as you may want to disagree; experience certainly always counts in any profession or life activity and can't be dismissed as you flippantly did.

It won't even surprise me, if by chance you are doctor, that you might have learnt a thing or two from some of the nurses in the ward during your housemanship - the fact is, no body has a monopoly of knowledge, even the teacher sometimes learns from his student.

Remember, the story of Dr. Christian Bernard, the first to successfully transplant the human heart (a white South African during Apartheid regime); well it was later revealed that towards the end of his career he was secretly allowing his black attendant (who had no formal medical training whatsoever) to assist him and eventually take over some the transplant operations.
Dr. Bernard was having difficulty moving his fingers due to arthritis and felt confident enough to entrust such procedures to his attendant because the latter had acquired the required skill, over the years through the practical experience of watching and gradually assisting - and there are similar parallels here too in Nigeria.

saintkash:
before u come here to condemn ganduje..u should ask ur state governor or government if there have any initiative like this in their four or eight years tenure before u open ur cavity to rant trash abt a governor dat have the interest of it people at heart. ..if a government can do dis in abt 15 months into power imagine wat will come out by d end of four years. .. we should be more concerned abt the payment method than the selling price. .

Don't mind the bigots, some of them may even have been born and still living in a face me I face you accommodation where over 30 of them would queuing in the morning with buckets for one toilet; but are here criticising out of hatred and envy because their own governors have failed them in their needs; while such commendable pro - poor projects are being executed in the north.

elengee:
If you took your time to read my post, you'll not be speculating wildly. I reported the accident immediately the man was stabilized in the hospital. The police officers came and visited the scene and later the man in the hospital. This was followed by my making a statement at the station and my car taken into custody.

I really do not want to join issues with you over an unfortunate incidence such as this, however, if you too had read my post more thoroughly you would have noticed how I chose my words very carefully by using the word APPARENTLY - which is suffice to say that your story came across as if you didn't but not necessarily excluding the possibility that you had in actuality.

Furthermore, based on your own narration it would be seen that you clearly did not report the accident immediately; because even after first taking him to hospital, you also further went searching for ppl who may recognise him; it was only then that you actually took the matter to the police.

You would also appreciate from my post that I was not faulting the sequence of the decisions you took, especially rushing him to hospital first; but pointing out the sad reality on ground i.e. that the operative protocol gives priority to reporting the incidence over the need to save life first - as even most hospitals would not commence treatment without police clearance.

As for the rest of my post, you would again notice that I was always careful with the choice of my words: such words as possible, potential, unwittingly were used where appropriate - no wild speculations, pls.

elengee:
I appreciate your concern bro. The only people that can resurrect the man forever remains the police. However, I have a comprehensive document of everything I did to save Mr Unknown's life after the accident. The body is in the morgue and the police says if nobody comes forward after a specific time frame, they'll order for the body to be buried.

I am resting my hope on God

You are lucky the police is yet to charge you for culpable homicide, for failing to report the accident immediately until apparently a few days later.

You have unwittingly left yourself potentially wide open to their exploitation; because now left to them it may be construed that the cause death may not necessarily have been the accident; but possibly by a more sinister method which could have been stage managed in order to make it appear like an accident - not that I personally do not believe your story; but given situation of our country and how our police operate, you would be lucky to escape without them extracting their pound of flesh - i.e. food done come and they may likely chop.

In short, accidents must be immediately reported to the police in order to establish the facts and to avert suspicion; in fact I am surprised the hospital agreed to accept the deceased and even commenced treatment without a police report.

Many lives have unfortunately been lost because of this requirement, resulting in often the victim not necessarily receiving timely intervention to save his/her life.
Consequently, many major hospitals usually have a local police post within their facilities so as to minimise delay before police clearance - this is wrong because saving a life should take precedence but this is our unfortunate reality.

I admire all your efforts and sympathise with your situation and furthermore wish you all the best - hoping that this should serve as a lesson to anyone who may unfortunately fall in the same predicament.

Tolexander:
where is now the erosion being talked about by the OP in the heading?

Its like he no go school, na only certificate him collect - LOL.

seunmsg:
We all know that Dasuki cannot be tried successfully without implicating Jonathan. That is why he has been calling for an open trial since his arrest. Jonathan may be clueless but he's not that daft to the extent of appearing as a defence witness for Dasuki and implicating himself in the process.

In as much as the Buhari administration is not interested in trying Jonathan for obvious political reasons, Dasuki's trial will continuously be stalled until government can squeeze out huge sums as much as possible from him and his cronies. At the end of the day, a political agreement or a plea bargain will be entered into to end the whole saga.

Your views really made sense - its a seemingly very plausible solution.

TimeManager:
iPob has reportedly signed an MoU with Donald trump to immediately release Nnamdi Kanu upon his assumption of office & to declare the sovereign state of biafra with a bilateral agreement(with made-in-Aba, as a product of exchange), with a bloc votes of ipob Community with no exemption of their Nigerian counterpart. Don't tell me you aren't privy to this information. Ipobs trying to make good their own part of the bargain through a well oiled media propaganda, beginning with calling "Hillary" by the name "Killary"
Kiss the truth!

Although I don't believe this childish story, however, it seems quite stupid considering that Trump promised to repatriate all foreigners, especially Africans and particularly Nigerians (who he described using several disrespective adjectives) living in Amelica if voted into office.

Now considering that most of Nigerians in Yankee are your blodas , engaged in many menial jobs, e.g. taxi drivers, dishwashers, flipping burgers etc and as usual in many criminal activities; wouldn't that be counter productive to form an alliance with a man that promised to toss your arses out of his country?

durangokid:
lee Anu ohia, because your brain is filled up with hatred and bigotry that's why you are not coordinated, can you actually deduct from what Reno wrote, which you can't because your brain has been disarranged

Reno spoke of disrespect as the bane of your (southern) disunity, giving several examples - a reality too bitter for you to accept or rather comprehend, because of low IQ - in other words you are too stupid, a nincompoop, wawa, jaki.

Nothing new, its been done before, here are some examples:
Another woman also backing a cockerel.
A woman backing a dog.
Man on bike backing a goat.

omenka:
What a lying duchebag.

I'm sure he was inebriated when sending those twees.

Degenerate prick with a PhD in Cluelesness doing what he does best- making idiotic statements at random.



Pathological liar and a crook he is and thinks everyone is as forgetful as he is.

An iPod yoot was even among those arrested.

The drunkard must have thought Nigerians have short memories: he must have forgotten the police raid of Vanguard office and how he ordered the police to interrupt a private meeting of some disgruntled former PDP governors prior to their defection to the opposition at the Kano State government lodge in Abuja, being presided by the then gov Rabiu Musa Kwankwaso - he forgot that the whole incidence was video tape and is still available available on youtube.

He also forgot how at one time he withdrew the security details of govs Kwankwaso and Amaechi and how the latter was further barred from re-entering his official own residence after an outing and was also denied air clearance to fly back to his home state in a chartered plane.

He forgot also forgot how he withdrew SLS's police protection when he was announced the new Emir of Kano and stoked rioting around the palace for almost 2 days to frustrate the turbaning of the new Emir.

He forgot how he allowed his kinsman Asari Dokubo to insult and threatened his perceived enemies, especially northers, and similarly allowed his wife to do the same while campaigning for his failed re-election.

He forgot how also he polarised and heated the polity along religious and ethnic lines by his open romance CAN and publicly acclaiming that Igbos were the pillar of his government at the exclusion of others.

He may have forgotten all these but many of us have not and are easily fooled.
