Wow!
Just added an additional term for my vocabulary to describe the brain washing of some of our intellectually lazy youths - Lollapalooza Tendency Effect.

big7:
Hey u... Shut your mouth up oga... You've made no point with this shit you just dropped here... Just come back and pack this smelling stuff away... What is he doing out there... E never reach am to come back...can you take any decision in your work place without informing your boss on your suppose move... This is the military man... You don't Just take actions you get orders before you act... If the killings never touch you directly or indirectly you won't learn... So next time before you comment Pls think like a human being not one cow ready to be slaughtered at odo eran

The president is out on international duty, among them to secure several billion dollar investment into the country but all your intellectually lazy brain could think of is how to find an excuse to insult and hate him for every unfortunate thing that happens in the country - including the reported reprisal torching of a Benue community; which he certainly couldn't have ordered.
It would appear that your limited brain lacks the capacity accommodate the notion that soldiers are indeed not programmed robots incapable of acting on their own accord without orders of their superiors.

What is even more baffling is the non condemnation of community for the cold blooded killing of this soldier, even if were a case of mistaken identity as alleged.

The community seems to have a penchant for trouble making; because not only did they kill one among those sent to protect them; they had also succeeded in sacking the police out due to clashes between them and local the okada bikers.

I imagine that this could also be how some of the Benue communities had been killing the Fulanis quietly and therefore resulting in the reprisals against them; while having the media on their side to always project them as the innocent victims.

Finally, pls brush up your writing skills; because you write like a motor park tout - abi you no go school?

Adebowale89:
see what buhari had reduce our soldiers too under Gej govt, at least we experience how soldiers that runaway from warfronts and those that disobey their commander face countless of mutiny before the collective cries of international and Nigeria under ordinary civilian

but as expected Nigeria army to be under a disciplinarian military man is sth that left me under a shock. NA turned tribalist, racist, injustice, more lawlessness, Aid of genocide for Fulani over other Nigerians.

to think the soldiers took that action without the awareness of their superior is a big lies. the dumb NA pro in Makurdi ought to have shut up and not saying anything instead of saying thrash

I didn't want to comment but was provoked by this senseless comment that resembles that of a half baked educated illiterate with little power of comprehension - indeed an intellectually lazy bigot.

Can you imagine; how could he blame the president (who is currently out of the country) for this random out of the ordinary wanton action of a small military unit when in fact there exists several levels of decision making along the chain of command between them.

How imbecilic and laughable was his attempt at reminiscing and indeed praising the cowardice of the military under GEJ - he also forgot that it was under GEJ that the military got it's worst international condemnation for human rights violation.

Let us not forget that even though there had been killings of the military and other law enforcement agents under this president; but never had he for once ordered any retaliatory action against such community - e.g. as we witnessed with the sacking of Odi (in Niger Delta) and Zaki Biam (Benue) under OBJ and (same wailing) Gen. T Y Danjuma who was then the defence minister.

PMB may not be perfect, he definitely has his share of mistakes; but certainly does not deserve this level of blind misguided hatred - least of all from the very youths he is trying to retrieve their stolen past, present and future from the same gang of looters unfortunately now inciting them against him, through sponsored subtle media manipulation - I really pity our gullible youths for failing to see beyond the ongoing propaganda.

Ayotemide:
YOU ARE DUMBER THAN I THOUGHT INTELLECTUALLY POSSIBLE.

talk you no do.. you just dey there dey blow grammar.

Baby, pls I don't have time for mentally under developed children; still in kindergarten - why not run along and do something more closer to your IQ level like watching BBNaija - apparently it is a very popular pastime of our lazy youths of today.

Ayotemide:
you that know the difference and is going on a tirade as to whether alot means majority or a few, go back and revise your entire education (if you have one btw)!

LOL, you actually believe this empty trash supports your earlier argument?
LOL, confirmed intellectually lazy.

hotwax:
You are right like Buhari.

It is however important to say such words infront of investors and world presidents who are going to bring investments/jobs to your country.

Whoever raised you wasted his time.

No wonder you are defending Buhari

Another one of the mentally lazy brigade.

Did you even bother to read/listen to his actual words in their correct perspectives and not the twisted interpretations being spoon fed to you, without question: on what occasion he said it, where he said it and who were his target audience?

Yes, I support him; and so what?

You probably also belong to those youths making the country unsafe for investors - just take a good look at what age group bracket constitute most of the trouble makers: Boko Haram terrorists, Militants, Cultists, Kidnappers, Armed Robbers, Yahoo Yahoo, Badoo, thugs etc - all of them youths.

Festy4u:
Yours is easy because you seem like an educated aboki who although leaks Buhari's balls for breakfast. Purge yourself of ethno-religious slavery!

Another example of the intellectually lazy, who doesn't even know the difference between LICKS & LEAKS and what may constitute an ethno - religious statement.

Abeg pack well and go back and revise comprehension as a subject before you ever engage me again.

RACIST!

Since when did Nigerian youths constitute a Race?

LOL, when dem talk say plenty of dem are intellectually lazy (e.g. many do not know the difference between A LOT and ALL) they will take offence - all they know is to abuse and deny the truth.

Nonsense, intellectually lazy lot; this is how many fail their exams, simple comprehension dem no sabi but will be claiming certificate - keep deceiving yourselves with silly misinterpretations.

In fact I also quite agree with the president concerning the growing number of youths unaware of the dwindling fortunes of this country (after years of PDP mismanagement) and therefore the realities on the ground, and their unwillingness to adjust their expectations by being more creative and resourceful; instead of waiting on government for white collar jobs in air conditioned offices - so that they too would contribute to the bloating of our ever growing inefficient corrupt civil service.

Yes, many among them no longer believe in hard work but in easy expensive fake lifestyles they see being lived by some celebrities; this explains for why the youths dominate cyber and violent crimes such as yahoo yahoo, kidnapping and armed robbery etc.

Take it or leave it; thats the truth - no apologies to anyone who disagrees.

I see some senseless apology for corruption by our (half educated lazy) youths.

Assuming the motive for the prosecution was political as alleged; some of the questions they should be asking should include:
-did they collect the monies
-was the money legitimate
-were the charges against them false
-should the monies not to be recovered
-should they not be prosecuted because they are in the opposition?

Please let the govt recover from whoever it can and leave the rest for next govt and so on; at the end of the day, the message that 'Stealing is indeed Corruption' and all thieves will eventually be prosecuted would get across to everybody whether in government or in the opposition.
Let us therefore stop condoning corruption where ever it may be.

Intellectually lazy comments everywhere driven by bigotry and irrational hate.

VolvoS60:
^^^^
No sir.

That's not how sensible armies do it.

If people committed a crime, you investigate and find out those responsible. It is unlikely that all the indigent women and children whose homes were burnt down by these soldiers knew anything about the alleged killing of a Nigerian soldier.

Face it. Your army is an occupation force, pure and simple.

Femi Adesina's claim that many Nigerians are intellectually lazy may not be far from the truth.
Please review my post again and show me where I may have even remotely supported or justified the Army's reprisal against the community.
The only point I made was to dispel the popular narrative that the Benue communities were always the innocent victims, incapable of violence of their own and that the military was in collusion with the herdsmen to kill them - big difference.

I thought they said the Benue communities are the innocent victims; imagine the audacity of killing the very ppl sent to protect you - karma is a bitch; see how they provoked the soldiers into taking reprisal action against them; small time they will come out and change the narrative on how the Army is colluding with the herdsmen to kill them.

Oga Adesina abeg no mind dem, many of dem go school but dem no sabi book; common comprehension dem no sabi - no so so dem plenty reach here for Nairaland.

OgaInnocent:
I was prompted to script this piece when I read yesterday from the comment of certain moniker here called amarabae, that the problem the Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) put themselves is being orchestrated by the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA /Doctors) .
#(screenshot below) #

Inasmuch as the veracity of such claim by such an anonymous online user remains inconsequential, I still wish to educate the unsuspecting public on certain things of paramount and topical significance.

Before I continue, I thought it worthwhile to introduce myself, so that you take cognizance of my biases, if any. I am NOT a medical doctor, at least for now, thus, suffer not yourself in trying to tag this as "espirit des corps" game.

Now, it is no longer news that JoHESu is on strike for reasons bordering on salary and hospital hierarchy.
The news is here:
... https://www.nairaland.com/4456282/federal-health-workers-under-umbrella/3#66805229

ON SALARY:

I wouldn't comment on that because that is the business of the the govt. But let it be on record that if someone should complain of salary, it is the doctors. Nigerian Doctors cannot talk in the presence of their colleagues practicing abroad. They are the most underpaid persons with relation to the value offered. You can imagine the amount Canadian doctors are paid that made them to protest last time. An average consultant doctor in canada receives about 500,000 (about 180 million naira) dollars yearly. A consultant in nigeria is struggling with 10million naira yearly. Hence the reason 90% of Nigerian doctors are jetting out of the country, with many on the way out also. Even the few that are staying, are doing so, due to some supplementation coming from private practice. Otherwise, with the rate at which other countries are ready to issue visa to doctors, Nigeria may soon run out of doctors.
The truth is everyone needs a salary increase because cost of goods have increased, starting from teachers. However, the issue of salary still remains their business with the govt, but note that if your salary is increased to that of a doctor, the doctors will seek their own increase. It is natural to act that way.

ON HOSPITAL HIERARCHY

I heard they want to be given consultant nurse, consultant physiotherapist, consultant Med Lab Scientist etc.

People need to understand something. The hospital is structured in such a way that every treatment /instruction must be directed from the Consultant Physician or Consultant Surgeon. No patient receives anything in the hospital unless the doctor says so. The reason is not far-fetched. It is in the best interest of the patient, so that he/she is not malhandled. Imagine when we introduce a consultant nurse, a doctor will give his own instructions and the nurse will also like to execute his own consultancy expertise by giving his own instructions, at the end, the patient, is at the receiving end. The practice is that the doctor is and must be the head of the patient management team.

Most nurses are clamoring for consultancy because of the knowledge they acquire by virtue of working in hospital for years. They feel they can now challenge the doctor.

I will give an analogy: In Catholic church, we have the parish priest, we have the catechist. By virtue of working at the alter for about 10years, the catechist can comfortably celebrate the mass. Infact he can even celebrate more than the priest if given opportunity. He can also be more prayerful than the priest. But no matter the condition, the catechist can never celebrate mass or be equated to the priest simply because he can do what the priest can do if given the opportunity. There is formal way of becoming a priest, and it is open to everyone, thus, if the catechist wishes to be celebrating mass, he should simply enroll into the seminary, and boom, he becomes a priest. That is the formality.

Nurse vs Nurse Dichotomy

There are two types of nurses, we have those that attended school of nursing(Registered Nurse. RN). we also have those that are studying nursing in university (B. Sc). The truth is that the BSc holders are paid far higher than the RN holders. Why is it so? In terms of work, I need not tell you that, the RN holders are the ones that do the major suffering in the hospital, and JOHESu will not harmonize their salaries so that all nurses are paid parallel amount. But they want to be paid what doctors (mbbs) are paid. That's hypocrisy.


Medical Laboratory Scientists vs Medical Laboratory Technology

The way Medical lab scientist (Bsc) discriminate against the Med lab technologist (HND) is another case study. You and I know that those polytechnic guys are more practical oriented and cannot be equated with university counterparts. But yet, the Bsc holders still lord it over the HND holders. They claim superiority over them, and yet want equality with doctors. Another hypocrisy.


Med Lab Scientist vs Microbiologist.

I happened to study microbiology in my first degree. As a microbiologist, you cannot have a lab on your own. You must work under a med lab Scientist. Even when the knowledge base is the same among the two disciplines.

Last time on Facebook I saw some graduates of med lab from ABSU hanging stethoscope on their neck, calling themselves diagnostic doctors. Thats so laughable. And that has been the delusion that has been making them think they are equal with doctors. That you can see bacteria in urine in the lab does not make you diagnose a patient of infection. A doctor makes 95% of the diagnosis from history and physical examination, just right in the consultation room. The lab tests are to confirm diagnosis and also check for the other systems that the patient may not be complaining of. Also every med lab Scientist works under a Consultant Chemical pathologist, consultant micro biologist, consultant Histopathologist, or Consultant hematologist as the case may be.


The Way OUT

The truth is that, there should not be the need for all these fracas if everyone remains to his job description and prescription. There is already a job description for doctors, nurses, med lab Scientists etc. If you are not comfortable with the job you do, you can switch and follow the formality laid out for that profession. There shouldn't be need for being a nurse and wanting to do the job of a doctor, or being a doctor and wanting to do the job of a nurse.
A doctor needs a nurse, a nurse needs a doctor, a med lab Scientist needs a doctor and vice versa.

In addition to that, every job has a salary scale, most times the salary does not justify the work they do, but only justifies the time and process it took to get there. The people that take the highest salaries in Nigeria are the people that do nothing. They only go to offices to enjoy the AC and go home at the end of the day. When the month ends, they collect millions. Its unfortunate society has made it that way. Let us have a rethink, and be human. Everyone needs salary increase, starting from teachers to doctors to JOHESU (except our senators ***winks***). The problem is getting it right at the electoral polls.

What a biased and an inaccurate presentation:

On the issue consultancy, medical doctors simply don't want anyone to bear the title of a consultant but only they themselves; whereas in reality there is nothing stopping anyone from being a consultant; you can have a consultant cleaner, gardener, shoe shiner etc because a consultant is simply anyone who can be consulted on a particular subject i.e. who has reached the peak of excellence in his own field and is therefore available to lend his expertise to lower members within his chosen field of specialisation; having a consultant nurse, pharmacist, med lab scientist etc does not mean that such person, would by virtue of such qualification, cross over into realm of medicine - no, this confusion and therefore excuse is being used by doctors to frustrate other health professionals from reaching the peak of their potentials and consequently depriving Nigerians from the benefits of such levels of excellence.

BTW, these consultants already exist in other climes where occasionally medical doctors do consult them; why not Nigeria.

On the issue of hospital hierarchy; again here the OP is confusing the role of the doctor in management of the patient against management of the hospital as an institution/organisation; where in the case of the former medical expertise is necessary as against the latter where administrative knowledge and skill are the essential requirement.

In fact, headship of hospitals by doctors is the usurpation of the specialised field of Hospital Administrators who are the trained professionals meant to run hospitals.

Doctors having taken over this role along with major administrative posts e.g commissioners, ministers of health etc. and making them their exclusive preserve; rather than carrying everybody along in order to allow peace to reign; they instead began the policy of self consolidation and that of exclusion and domination of other health workers, thus leading to the present circumstance where all the other health professionals are forced to come together as one union (by the common factor of oppression) to fight against the tyranny of medical doctors against them - resulting in the unending industrial unrest of the sector.

On the issue of salary: doctors are not the only ones being under paid but everybody else; however, the trouble is that even though doctors are on higher and entirely different salary scale, negotiated separately, they still begrudge the salaries of other health workers, insisting on a disproportionate wide disparity between them or otherwise continually sabotage whatever gains that may have been successfully negotiated between the other health workers and government - since they have the CMDs, Commissioners and Jnr & Snr health Minsters to aid and abet them.

On the issue of Med Lab Scientist vs Microbiologists vs Technologists: the OP unfortunately presented a hypocritical argument; having earlier supported the doctrine of 'Formal' route of acquisition of knowledge and practice for medical doctors, using a lengthy example based on the Catholic Church (see his argument on consultancy) yet he is here hypocritically denying same for the Medical Laboratory Scientist, who had gone through the formal route of training and registration with the regulatory body as required by law against someone who is unregistered and therefore not recognised by law (and consequently a quack).

Weighty allegation without proof and tantamount to hate speech, where this unfortunate herdsmen/farmer clash is being trivialised and politicised as a tribal conflict; whereas in reality the Fulani herdsmen have so far not spared any tribe, including there own - unless the deputy governor wants to tell that those being killed in Zamfara, Katsina, Kano etc are also Tivs.

The evil and wicked ones at it yet again.

deomelo:
Bridges are built to last for 30-100 years, but our rich, smart and industrious blodas and developers in anambra village built theirs to last just for 1 year.

LOL, I no fit shout; oboy you are wicked

At least he has outdone our blodas for other side, who are currently raving about the commissioning of a small roundabout by one of their governors and a fleet of Keke Ambulances - as huge development, LOL

If true then E done miss road; he should have asked Nuhu Ribadu for advice.

After all the misrepresentations/misinterpretations and campaign of calumny against Mr President, it would appear there are emerging evidence that would that postulation; because someone opened a front page thread here in Nairaland, with photos of dead foreign fighters allegedly killed in Benue.

https://www.nairaland.com/4457420/foreigners-heading-benue-cause-havoc

However, it would also appear that there is a conspiracy to silence the evidence by some MODs here; because the thread has been closed for no apparent reason - you can all access the above link and judge for yourselves.

Femi Fani-Kayode, former Aviation Minister, on Tuesday raised the alarm over renewed killing of Christians in Nassarawa State by Fulani herdsmen.

The Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, chieftain alleged that the herdsmen had yesterday “slaughtered” 32 Christians in Nassarawa state while President Muhammadu Buhari was “wining and dining in London.”

In a tweet, Fani-Kayode wrote, “Fulani Herdsmen slaughtered over 32 innocent and defenceless people in the southern part of Nassarawa state yesterday which is predominantly Christian.

“As Buhari is wining and dining in London his Fulani kinsmen are butchering more of his compatriots and subjects every day.”

Buhari, who is currently in London, had yesterday held a bilateral meeting with the United Kingdom, UK, Prime Minister, Theresa May at 10, Downing Street, London.

The verbal junkyard; who even takes serious nowadays?

MikeBetty:
Hahahaha, My Brothers Cant Be Threatened With With Fine And Jail Term. Death Penalty Doesnt Stop Them Let Alone Jail Term/fine.

We will just have to do our own here and let God do His own in the hereafter - I think hell fire comes to mind.

MikeBetty:
Well, Until There Is A Parliamentary Amendment/enactment Prohibiting Tramadol And Other Drugs Abused In The North, They Still Remain Over The Counter/prescription Drugs. As For Tarnishing Nigerian Image, Nigeria Has To Take It In Good Faith. If You Dont Want Nigerian Name Tarnished Separate Them From Nigeria. It Is Not By Force To Be Together.

If you were intelligent enough you would have deduced that they are no longer off the counter drugs; and furthermore you do not need a parliamentary act to ban them because such powers had already been vested in relevant food & drug and pharmaceutical regulatory bodies; hence the arrest - better therefore warn your blodas desist from shipping such consignment otherwise they'll be risking heavy fines/real jail time.

MikeBetty:
Tramadol Is All Over The Medicine Shops In The East But The Rate Of Its Abuse Is Very Low. It Is Being Petronised Mostly By Northers Resident Down South. Drug Abuse Is Rooted In The DNA Of The Hausas; No Offence Pls. The Sniff Septic Tank, Sniff Gutter, Sniff Solution, Sniff All Sniffable. Ordinarilly Tramadol Smugglers Will Be Out Of Business If There Are No Buyers. Dont Blame Sellers Because If There Are Willing Buyers, Sellers Must Sell.

If there are no sellers there will be no buyers, that is why worldwide the authorities blame and target more the pusher than the user.
Unfortunately we have a growing number of olosho children here in this country who thrive on exploiting the vulnerability of our youths and also tarnish our image abroad with their criminality of selling drugs.
I pray for when this country would consequently return the death penalty on drug pushing; so that many of these flat-headed bastards would be shipped back to their villages in their coffins - Thailand, Malaysia, China etc all can't be wrong.

MikeBetty:
It Is Natural For Drug Abuse To Thrive Among Almajiris Whose Fathers Abandoned @ The Age Of 2 To Beg In The Street. Until The Northern Youths Ask Their Elites And Parents Questions Taking And Abuse Of Drug Will Not Stop. Until The The Parents Stop Breeding Children Like Rats And Born The Number They Can Carter For, It Will Not Stop. Until Ur Govts Put Up A Policy That Will Take Up Little Children Off The Street, Train Them In Educationally Or Vocationally, They Will Continue To Find Solace In Tramol.

We have never denied the problem of drug abuse among our youths; we equally know that worldwide the blame is usually place more on the pusher than the addict; hence the stiffer penalty on the former.
We equally know that when it comes pushing drugs, we have some rotten egg bastards who specialise in poisoning many communities both national and international with their criminality - Thailand, Malaysia, India, China etc all can't be wrong.

Someone said many Nigerians are intellectually lazy and therefore prone to misinterpretation/misrepresentation of facts.

I want to therefore believe that you didn't actually read and comprehended the original statement by Mr. President; which therefore explains for the above unfortunate false narrative.

MikeBetty:
And It Is Being Shipped To F@@ls Who Are Forced/compelled To Buy And Drink Them

Yes indeed they are very foolish to consume them by allowing themselves to succumb to their self inflicted addiction; while being aided and abetted by a notoriously selfish, evil, and wicked set of animals; dressed in human skin, majority of whom were born bastards as the bye products of baby factories; rejected for not even being of good enough standards for the ritualists who ordered them nor fit enough for consumption by their Cannibalistic kith and kin.

prechbills1:
so how did you know she's not a prostitute?

I blame the stupid man for allowing that shít

Quite simple; she went to court and proved her case.

RadicallyBlunt:
How did you know she's not actually promiscuous. Is it because she took to the court first?

Yes, she went to court and apparently successfully challenged the allegation which the defendant also apparently could not prove; hence the judgement against him.
