fstranger3:

done deal

OAM4J:
Am sure she wont, [b]if you leave her alone and ignore her posts. [/b]Thanks.

thank you

OAM4J:
It is apparently 3.27am in Nigeria now, they should be sleeping soundly on their beds, except dem be winch.

They'll be active when they wake up in abt 4-6 hrs time.

thanks for the answer. We'll see tomorrow then

^^ I agree.

also do something about fstranger3. he is becoming a huge nuisance.

If I could do it all I won't have created this topic would I?

I created a topic on the politics board but I don't think there are any mods there so I'm creating one on here.
I hope the moderators take notice of fstranger and give him a warning. I've reported him several times already but nothing seem to be changing.

so who are the active mods here on nairaland?

alright guys. back to topic

Kobojunkie:
@Jenifa, can we please get back to the Topic instead??

I ask because we need not allow the same culprits keep wrecking threads can could potentially lead to saving of lives they may not care about.

what happens when people "spoil their record"? lol
I personally am not a fool. until mods do something about him, I definitely will take matters into my hands because i've reported him several times before and I refuse to be followed around from topic to topic by an ailing monkey.

[quote author=tpiah! link=topic=604602.msg7726295#msg7726295 date=1297647387]^^i thought you're nigerian but he keeps insisting you're not.

clarify once and for all plz, if you dont mind.[/quote]we'll, i'm yoruba and i've said that before.

don't let the goat mess with your mind

keep searching for your father you hear. you are better off looking for ur mom who threw you in the refuse dump i tell you that.

i've been patient with you long enough. but you have proven yourself to be an incorrigible goat and the only way to treat a goat is to use a stick.

OAM4J:
Jenifa relax. If you dont like fstranger or anyone's comment about you, simply ignore it, they will leave you alone.

fstranger is a goat that will never learn no matter how much you ignore him.

[quote author=tpiah! link=topic=604602.msg7726280#msg7726280 date=1297646961]jenifa come clarify plz.

gabry is the best female non-nigerian speaker of nigerianisms on this forum, and even then you can still tell she's not nigerian.[/quote]I really don't understand this. I see fstranger is brainwashing you all slowly because I've clarified this a few times already.

where are the mods?

Eko Ile:
Do you have a list somewhere stating that the state payed 7 million per pt? do you?

Regardless how much the state is paying. How much is your life worth?

well, that's why i'm asking you.

according to this topic, he paid 7million for Ifeanyi Dike.
but then you are telling me that what he did is ok because he also did it for 300 other people.
so the question is: did he pay 7 million for each and everyone of them? is lagos really that wealthy?

I value my life but I wouldn't think it to be fair for the masses to be forced to pay for my hospital bill through taxes without their consent.
I would rather do a charity fund raiser and appeal to citizens to donate voluntarily on my behalf.

if the state is paying for me, it has to be through a program that is available for EVERY one like me in the state. not just a select few. ex a program like medicare.

@sefago, I have no problem with weirdos.
ex. I have no problems with you.

but don't become a stalker or get abusive. that to me crosses the boundary.
have you read the nairaland rules and regulations lately?

Eko Ile:
Olodo, are you not tired of repeating the same rubbish? And going by your re@tarded  reasoning, if they are paying me to dig up the truth and trash your lies and ignorance, how much are they paying you to lie and rubbish people's name? How much you lair?

you didn't answer my question.

It seems you work for Fashola anyways. do you?

birds of the same feathers?  


I personally find him extremely annoying and it has definitely reduced the time I spend on Nairaland because he's always following me around from topic to topic. he will be here in a jiffy. watch

I'm sure he has been banned once or twice because his username now has different numbers attached to it.
but mods definitely ought to do something more serious about it. Like send him an admin message as a warning and ban his IP address or something.

Eko Ile:
And you arived at this conclusion because of some health work? This is the kind of blind and absurd these clueless people peddle all over the place. So all the 300 kidney patients the state saved are Nollywood actors?

Your absurdity and sense of reasoning is extra shallow.

so he paid 7 million each for 300 patients. lagos really is that rich?

alj harem1:
you are the only one with this issue on nairaland

why do you say that?

ah i'm sorry o.




one man's meat is another man's. . .

I've reported this nuisance so many times and I really don't know what to do anymore so mods please do something about it.
I'm sure I'm not the only one with the same issues.

I think people will be willing to die for Nigeria if they know that their death won't be in vain.

for some reason I don't think the british were heavily involved in the slave trade. I always got the impression that they were against slave trade probably because they were losing out on the profits their counterparts were making off of it. I don't know though

the north is sort of isolated from the south and also not very connected to the western world.
part of the reason why the capital was moved to abuja was to have a more centralized government.

a way to change the situation will be to connect/centralize the country more. by building transportation routes and encouraging trade between the different regions of Nigeria.

this will be of very tremendous help for the country as a whole.

PhysicsMHD:
I'm pretty sure that's flat out false, but I can't be bothered to dig up the statistics.

you'd be surprised

not saying it's true. but I won't be too surprised if it were.

this topic. seriously?

Fashola had an aim in mind for sponsoring this nollywood actor after all:


While commending Nollywood artistes who also participated in the Health Walk, for spreading positive messages in millions of homes through their films, Governor Fashola urged them to see it as an opportunity to work with the Ministry of Health to see the content of the kidney, hypertension and diabetes screening programme which the Government has committed to in the last three years.


He called on the Nollywood artistes to consider producing what he called a docu-drama that would help in strengthening the advocacy on the need to exercise regularly, moderation in the kind of food people eat, saying such a production in English, Yoruba, Hausa and Pidgin would go a long way in sensitizing the people.


While commending the NGO for the awareness rally, he challenged Nigerian artistes, including Prince Jide Kosoko, Antar Laniyan, Fathia Balogun and the popular comedian, Ali Baba, who participated in the rally, to write scripts on kidney transplant.

“A docudrama will go a long way in boosting the kidney awareness that there is need for exercise, moderation in size, moderation in the kind of food that people eat.

“Write the script in English, Yoruba, Igbo, Hausa and pidgin English. I assure you that as soon as we receive a script, the state government will provide the needed fund for the production of the film,” he said.

The group had earlier embarked on an endurance trek from Allen Junction, Ikeja, to the Governor’s Office, to sensitize the public on the danger associated with renal failure.

@Kobo

In every budget, there is room for miscellanous expenses. Not just a Nigerian thing. I am not a Lagosian so I don't have the one for the year but that is standard practice. Its the same place governments gets money to host dinners for Super Falcons after a victory, no one sees future victories but if it happens we will celebrate.

By the way, it is an assumption that this are state funds, and I don't mind if it is. We can't be sure how much it is. People don't get sick and say "hey who be the maga to sponsor my kidney? No, this guy has spent all his savings, before going to AGN and then the government.

Again, Fash did not run on "I will send you abroad if you are sick" mandate. No. Truth is there are special cases, not based on the person but on seriousness of an illness.

Don't underestimate the power of networks. Either  the local village women association or a professional one. People join networks to get benefits professionally and otherwise, if your network raises awareness enough someone in govt will see and help. It is what Aisha was explaining with her work. Thats why every sickness in the world has an association.
How do peeps access the funds? Join networks that add value, it makes it easier for you to be seen. I have watched Newsline programs where sick peeps are shown and by next week a state government helps them. This things happen every day.

In life, things are not always black or white because of uncertainties, we need to do what we can while we aspire to be better by building better hospitals. The link I posted earlier, I hope someone higher sees it and when thaI t happens I will post it here.

lobbying you mean?
this is one of the reasons why we are not moving forward in naija. "every sickness in the world has an association" should that be the case? that you need to join an organization and lobby the governor for him to notice you.
we are definitely corrupt to the core.

fact remains that philanthropic work should be voluntary not mandatory.
fashola should set up a private charity organization for that kind of thing.

I think mercantilism is the answer. they've been practicing it for centuries and it has worked for them.

Eko Ile:
Of what use is your private money if your government can not spend it on you the private people when in need? God forbid you have kidney problems and you are helpless, just tell the government that you need no help and you don't want your tax money to be spent on you and you ain't worth your tax money.


Some of you people sure know how to sound silly I swear.

there are thousands of people in Lagos with Kidney problems. what made this nollywood star more deserving than those who don't have access to government offices?


Dike who is the Chairman, Board of Trustees of the Actors’ Guild of Nigeria should have done a fund raiser. i'm sure there are many cheerful givers like you in lagos who will be willing to help him. rather than going to the governor to lobby for poor people's tax money to be used on him.

our tax money should be going to making health care affordable for everyone (for programs like medicare). not all of it going to a select few of fashola's friends. does that sound fair to you?

why not use the money to fund a public hospital and pay couple of doctors' salary/equipments for a few yrs. imagine how many people will get health care/ lives will be saved with that money.

I see someone got banned recently

Obviously, the private folks are not doing anything to help and it's definitely not prudent for the state to sit around and do nothing to help Lagosians in need.

@eko-ile

tax money belong to the private folks!! why should fashola be using our money to care for his sick friends without our consent?
fashola can start his own private charity organization or even support a fund-raiser for example to pay for his friends. Not citizen's taxes.

our money should be spent creating/funding programs like medicare for all sick people. the money should be used equally among people. not for select nollywood friends.  that's not equality. that's favoritism

I was the one talking about exchange rates as an example. not bermuda. although I agree with a lot of what he says.


@bermuda,
yes you are better off hanging out with the "intelligent" students. but will they want to hang out with you? if they do, are they not more likely to take advantage of you. the 'dull' one?

to me, our leaders are playing puppet to the west rather than being real leaders and taking charge. that's part of our problem
our interests will often time run contrary to theirs and we just need to challenge the west sometimes rather than be puppets that's all.

i'm pretty sure our leaders know all the stuff we're saying. they know finished goods fetch more than exporting raw materials but why aren't they acting on it? and do they have the power to act on it?

imagine yourself as president. how will you go about changing the situation and what challenges or pressures might you face in taking these actions.
