How else did he expect the lawyer to "put it to him"??

That part cracked my ribs!

simonlee:
Though i think Obaseki will ultimately lose this fight, i love the fact that he's not caving in like Ambode did

Obaseki will not lose anything!!! Edo state is not like Lagos where one man decides what happens. Besides, rigging aside, APC has no much ground in Edo state. If APC decides to use Oshiomole's influence at national level to deny Obaseki their guber ticket, then they should bid farewell to Edo state because Obaseki will simply decamp to PDP and he'll definitely win Edo under PDP!

frenzyduchess:
its actually a build up of bad leadership since 1960. Most of the ground breaking development we see in china today,the blue print and foundation was laid a decade ago. There is nothing like over night development this is the reason why I am scared of the future cos we are not still ready to start laying the foundation, we are still busy pointing fingers

Exactly! And Buhari is making things worse

frenzyduchess:
Nairaland is filled with sad and miserable people ,a reflection of the toll the economy is taking on its citizens. Just look at nasty comments from frustrated people. . Happy married life, is it too hard to type and keep scrolling? Na wah o.

I blame Buhari for that

Ekpeitit:
Finally we have an intelligent Igbo man.
Yes,politics is a game of loyalty and reward,you support, you win ,you get something.
You don't support, you lose,you get nothing.
Only an Igbo man will expect to get Senate Presidency from a party they didn't vote for,a party they don't even like.
Funny how the Igbos think they are very smart but they are actually the most stupid tribe in Nigeria.
In 2023 they will do the same thing, vote for the wrong party again but expect to get all the juicy appointments after losing the election.
MUMU PEOPLE.

To hell with you and your juicy appointment!

In fact, I'm even disappointed with Ohanaeze ndigbo and all the other Igbo groups who have been going about "begging" Buhari and APC for appointments!

For crying out loud, let's ignore APC and Buhari and whatever they stand for! We must not partake in every government! Oshiomole that I know is a pathological hater of Igbo people and he'll do every thing to ensure that nothing comes to Igbos from APC. Not even our votes would change their plan to marginalise us! So, the best thing is to call their bluffs! Even if they decide to cut our monthly allocations, let's activate our international connections and IGRs to survive! By 2023 we'll still vote massively against APC and damn whatever the outcome would be. That's how to play opposition politics, not by being coerced with threats of marginalization!

OGHENAOGIE:
abi na... quorum was formed but timing is the issue...those who supported Buhari and presidency interference in legislative matter una see what executive influence can cause...
no come de shout Buhari no impose they were voted...these ones were voted too...

That's the problem with Nigerians!
Those who supported Buhari's imposition of national assembly leadership are the ones now crying foul because they were outsmarted by the Bauchi and Edo state governments! When the game favours them, then it is OK but when it doesn't they start talking about morality and international best practices!

Very well said sir!

Obasanjo once said it and he was criticized by uninformed Nigerians! You can't keep churning out graduates of irrelevant courses that can't solve our problems.

Instead of producing many graduates of courses that can't find their bearing in the labour market, why not direct those resources into technical and vocational education Produce fewer graduates of the "jumpologies" strictly for researches in those fields.

The current system breeds envy and hatred by some graduates against others. Let's change please!

Amanismone:
that's the lie they are trying to tell you.
Which election is the most freest in Nigeria? That abiola election.

River state had more votes than kano(most populated northern state) but now children now votes that's why they claim to have high population.

Just imagine if children votes during election in southern Nigeria.

Islam is dying, no one wants to be part of an oppressive religion

All evidence on ground point to the fact that Muslims in the north currently outnumber Christians and their population growth rate keeps increasing. If you've been to the north you'll notice that they have large land mass. Some States in the north are twice or thrice the size of one state in the southeast. In fact, kano will be like the size of Anambra, Enugu and Ebonyi put together.

Also, Islamic religion permits early marriage, polygamy and having multiple children! All these are pointers to the fact that they are more populated. Unlike the south(especially southeast) where people don't get married on time and even when they eventually get married they start struggling with conception and at the end they end up having just a few (2 or 3) children.

DrObum:
Do you have evidence to support this claim of some members of NMA supporting the actions of the then minister?

I know that many didn't support him, but I have evidence of some that supported him!

DrObum:
So, it's the doctors that encouraged people to do patent medicine dealership, whatever that means though?

How did Adewole encourage it?
If you want to call him out, please enlighten us asking the line.

You obviously did not follow the activities of the Adewole administration as minister of health. The man wanted to introduce what he termed tier classification of patent medicine dealers. He had about 3 categories of people he wanted to issue license to operate patent medicine stores. These included; healthcare professionals who are not pharmacists, graduate of any course who wanted to open a drug store and then primary school certificate holders who also wanted to open a drug business! That was the reasoning of a minister who should know better the implication of such system on our healthcare system. Where else in the world is it done He made that proposal despite the fact that we now have more pharmacy schools producing pharmacists! A reasonable minister of health in Nigeria of today should be advocating for closure of all drug stores that are not pharmacies!

Why I'm relating Adewole's action with the topic is because he made that proposal in order to spite pharmacists and I'm sure he had the support of some NMA members (except the smart few who understands the negative impact such would have on medical practice), so he and those who supported him should not complain about quack doctors operating in Nigeria since they didn't see anything wrong in quacks operating drug stores!

Meanwhile, I don't support quackery in any field and if I ever have my way at the helm of affairs in this country, I'll make sure I sanitize the system.

Abkreizi:
Aboki they said 46 deaths.... others might have had complications that were treated by other persons...... then again others might have died without the hospitals knowledge... lets not forget that the death he is referring to is the one in the operating room

"Let the man be joor"! There are many others like him operating in different parts of the country as " chemists ", doing abortions and all manner of unhealthy practices, but the ministry of health headed by medical doctors think they should be allowed to operate unchecked! So, I wonder why they're now complaining!

9jaRealist:
Actually, the Nigerian Medical Association is against anyone but registered pharmacists dispensing prescription drugs...
>

The immediate past minister of health wanted to make it everybody's business!

He performed successful surgeries after all, so why arrest him If medical doctors think it is okay to allow every quack to dispense drugs in the name of patent medicine dealership, then they should not worry when those patent medicine guys and hospital ward attendants also start practicing medicine and surgery and carrying out D&Cs and other operations.
Nigerian medical doctors think that the pharmacists are the only ones that are affected when selling drugs become a business anybody can do despite the dangers in that. They don't know that such system would affect even the medical doctors more! The immediate past minister of health was busy pushing for such with the intention of killing the pharmacy profession. The fool didn't know that allowing everybody to start selling drugs like he suggested would affect medical doctors more than even pharmacists. That was the caliber of person we appointed as minister of health.
Going by Adewole's and some other Nigerian insecure doctors' opinions, I think this man should be freed and even given a license to continue in his practice since he can perform surgeries successfully What goes around comes around!

desvi:
lovely!
my family observed the same behavior in my significant other and it's what made them love him
but it is mutual since I believe that taking good care of one other is an expression of love and a pleasure, abi?

Sure, it is.

Education remains one of the surest ways to be successful in life, especially if you're studying a good course with clearly cut career path. People should learn to choose the right courses and not just study any "jumpology" only to come out and join the "school na scam" gang. I know how education has helped my family!

Only a few people make it on the streets without education, so don't let anybody deceive you!

@op, thank your stars you were able to gain admission again into medlab. By the time you graduate you can decide to go into private practice if you like being your own boss.

Me that like feeding my girl like a baby, I'll even be happy seeing her consume those meat from my plates. There's a special kind of satisfaction that comes from seeing my girl feed well, especially from same plates with me!

There are a lot of words and phrases which Nigerians Use wrongly and these include the words; "kid brother" and "kid sister". Please stop referring to your YOUNGER SISTER or YOUNGER BROTHER as " kid sister " or "kid brother" if they're no longer kids or if you're just a few years older than them. I have heard many people use such terms to refer to siblings whom they're just a few years older than and I think it's only proper if we put things in the right perspective.

Your "kid sister" or "kid brother" is a sibling born when you're already grown into adulthood or adolescence at worst, not just any sibling who's younger than you. Please take note.

Badt guy!

Serves her right!!!


In fact, she should look for sniper and do the needful instead of living with the shame of this singular act

And the drug doesn't have a name Tell us the name so we can deduce the possible cause of the reaction!

This is what happens when some hospitals fail to employ clinical pharmacists to work with! Pharmacists are the only drug experts who can provide answers to most of the actions of drugs.

Standing on a high horse of morality and religion is not really attractive to a modern guyman...


Btw, ebira people are too aggressive for my liking

Where is the autopsy report that suggested she died as a result of fake drug


Nigerians that like playing ping-pong with their lives! Everybody likes to form "doctor" and in the process they kill themselves and start blaming fake drugs.

Who even diagnosed her of malaria I'm sure she never saw a medical doctor before rushing to the nearest "chemist" to buy drugs.

We need to change the face of healthcare in this country! That is the task the next minister of health should focus on, not some petty vendetta against other healthcare professionals that the immediate past minister was known for.

He/she(incoming minister) should initiate an awareness campaign on how people should go about seeking medical care when they fall sick. This is in addition to ensuring that health insurance cover is made available to all and sundry.

People should be educated that the first port of call when they fall sick is the hospital or clinic to see a physician, and then afterwards they can take their prescriptions to a pharmacy to see a pharmacist. That is how it is done in the developed world and it won't be a taboo if such is replicated here!

Let's borrow ourselves brains in this country and stop behaving like cavemen!



RIP to the dead lady

But why do some men stoop so low!!!


If he wasn't getting the satisfaction he wanted from his wife, why not get a girl outside the university

In this time and age, only a lecturer whose village elders have tabled his matter would go this low after so much efforts to attend such height.

What a shame!

Greatzeus:
Yes you are right. But you are a hypocrite nonetheless because I couldn't find any of your post where you took your time to condemn tribal sluts against other tribes like Hausa,Fulani and especially Yoruba.Yet there are thousands of such here daily. Would you have taken your time to type this epistle if the culprit name was different?
Think about it. I leave you with your conscience.

Continue in your bigotry and don't ever learn how to make the right judgments in life. Let's see where it leads you!


I won't join issue with you any further on this subject

lefulefu:
and choppable as they come

I tell you!

KevinDein:
Today I learned...

What rile up and get on the nerves of women the most; what they dread the most is older men marrying much younger women. Never seen this much gnashing of teeth.

We learn everyday

Honestly, the thing hurts them so hard! You'll start seeing silly and unreasonable reasons why it is not right to marry a younger lady!

This lady is truly pretty! I like her especially when she speaks Igbo in a movie


Ebony ladies are damn sexy mehn!

NaMeAboki:
Quite easily, as I told you the evidence is out there; if you apply enough due diligence you will quickly come to the right conclusion - even without telling me, I can easily tell that you too are Igbo, most likely from Enugu.

Many people claim to come from where they've never even visited before on this forum. Some do it to divert attention from where they really hail from in order to further hide their identity.

Even me bro, you can never be sure that I'm from Enugu. That you saw it in my post does not make it correct. Never rely on what you read on a faceless forum to make judgment!

NaMeAboki:
Sorry, my experience here in Nairaland says otherwise; the Hausa-Fulani Muslim had suffered most bashing than any other group; and Igbos were the greatest offenders who never seem to pass an opportunity to either insult or instigate others to hatred.

You need not go far to see the evidence; the numerous malicious threads and posts are still out there and can speak for themselves.

I am glad now the tide is turning and Igbos are beginning to feel the pain they have been causing others - its payback time; some ppl may say they are reaping what they sowed.

@TOPIC:
There seems to be some semblance of truth concerning the rate of wife killings among Igbos and it seems even more evident in the diaspora, especially in America - the topic even attracted a thread here in this forum.

How did you know that those making such posts and threads are Igbos So, every post here against Hausas are from Igbos? Are you are that there are some people on this forum whose stocks in thread is to pitch the different tribes (especially the 3 major ones) against one another? Hence, they pretend to be Igbo, Yoruba or Hausa to make posts that would instigate hatred among the three tribes??

[quote author=aseosa post=79257812][/quote]Be surprised by what?? I also want to be surprised!

MartinCorridon:
Keep quiet.

It is mostly yeebows who do this.

And the few times a Yoruba is mentioned...it will get to Page 20.

The colours of the room are indicators of his loser mindset

Tell your father to keep quiet! Ode!

wifeesnatcher:
average Igbo men aren't romantic, except some few that lived in Diaspora


no igbo lady who lives in diaspora will want to settle with any Igbo man that lives in the village


my fact is not about this killing, go and read the one that battered his wife because of sex in Ph


I hope their new single men learn from this, marriage is not just about money, ladies needs love, care, attention and over tolerance

On several occasions this forum has been inundated with news of Yoruba men, Hausa men, men from other tribes who battered their wives or girlfriends, and guess what many of us did; we condemned the act without recourse to the perpetrator's tribes. Now, just a few instances you cited that happened in igboland, it has now become a tribal issue!

You better change from your bigotry and hatred for Igbos because hatred will only lead you to your doom! A word is enough for the wise
