Is this not the State where the governor is building "iconic conference centre"?

Yes, the governor is not only building iconic international conference centre, he's also building first class international hospital and so many other projects in the state. It is not his fault that the people are careless with their healths and take medications indiscriminately without prescriptions which I'm very sure has contributed to the growing cases of kidney failures.

My only advice for the governor is to look into the issue of drug distribution and administration in the state by closing down all open drug markets in the state and replacing them with modern drug distribution system which ensures that drugs are handled carefully and given only prescription by licenced doctors and pharmacists.

I just googled and saw that it's a teaching hospital in Enugu, possibly this is the only hospital in the state with a kidney disease clinic. Even at that, our regulatory agencies need carry out investigations in what people are consuming in that state.

That's not the only hospital in the state with a kidney disease clinic. UNTH is also located in the state alongside other government and missionary hospitals. The problem is indiscriminate use of drugs due to the activities of quacks in the open drug markets! No sugar coating it

favour32:
Changed agricultural practices and high rate of refined sugar consumption.

You missed the real cause! People have been using refined sugar and genetically modified crops in the west yet they don't have as much cases of kidney diseases as we have.

Efuaye:
At this point, shouldn't our food and drúg regulatory bodies go into overdrive to ensure that the food, drinks, and medications we buy meet the standards for human consumption?

The problem is that the people use drugs indiscriminately in the state! I am based here in Enugu and I know this for a fact! I'll be surprised if the report had been otherwise!
Imagine empowering quacks to sell medicines indiscriminately just for profits in the name of open drug markets! Where else is it done in the 21st century Government would still sweep this report under the carpets instead of taking actions to address the root cause.

The government allowed citizens of the state access to all kinds of drugs by allowing the operation of open drug market in Ogbete market in the state, so just anybody can easily go and buy drugs from the market and start taking without even consulting any healthcare professional! Why won't there be rampant cases of kidney failures in the state?

In the developed countries, drugs are prescribed strictly by qualified prescribers and dispensed solely in pharmacies under the supervision of qualified and licenced pharmacists. We borrowed orthodox medicine from the west yet think we are wiser than them by allowing indiscriminate use of medicines. Actions have consequences!

On many occasions, pharmacists in Nigeria have raised alarms over the dangers inherent in the operation of the open drug markets but governments have continued to aid and abet these wrong and unhealthy practises instead of taking decisive actions to stop it. This dangerous practise of allowing people access to all kinds of drugs is much more prevalent in the southeast states especially Enugu, this is why even children are now victims of kidney failures!

mmsen:
With all due respect you really don't know how she's doing and in my experience most of you don't actually care. You only care about that money transfer at the end of the month.

You don't know how much debt she's laboring under. You don't know what she's having to deal with at work. You don't know her living conditions.

For your info, I didn't say she sends money to me. What I said is that she makes some investments back home and that when we make general family contributions to solve a family needs, she contributes generously unlike before. Mind you, she's not under any debts because she was sponsored by our family such that she didn't have to borrow money for her schooling.

I understand the fact that cost of living is high over there in the UK but any little pounds sent to Nigeria from UK becomes a large sum in our currency and that's why many of them in the UK still make investments in Nigeria regardless how hard things are over there.

My sister left Nigeria in 2024 for her MSc and now she's balling well. This is someone that could barely feed her family then. She graduated from school since 2009 but only managed to secure job in one private company that was paying her peanuts. My siblings then gathered funds and sponsored her abroad. Today, she can now afford to send money home for investment and to solve family financial needs.

IbnB:
Nigerian women are mostly lazy and very greedy, but again how can anyone expect a different dynamic in a society as intensely patriarchal as Nigeria?

So long as the system places men ahead of women in everything, irrespective of individual capability/competence, you can't blame the majority of the womenfolk for settling into the assigned (enforced) roles and just playing along in the interests of peace. It is mostly the stubborn (and exceptionally talented) women that break that mould, and usually at the expense of conventional marital expectations or unless they're lucky enough to get married to an equally extraordinary man

Point of correction, the system doesn't place men at any advantage over the women! The last I checked, both men and women have equal access to education and jobs(infact, women enjoy more advantages when it comes to job opportunities). Men are also not paid higher (as per providers) at work places. Even in politics, women still pull their weights and are even clamouring for reserved positions in government which to me is total rubbish!

This looks like what Hon Patrick Obahaigbon would write

"Most funny" is an incorrect grammar! Funniest is the right word to use.

Maybe she thought that her boyfriend wasn't doing it well and followed the mouth of one braggadocio guy only to discover that her boyfriend was even better

The salary increment should cut across all sectors, not only the military! Imagine lecturers still being paid peanuts after years of studying and despite the bulk of work they're made to do due to shortage of lecturers in our universities.

The least paid worker in Nigeria should be earning not less than ₦500k monthly to survive the current economic situation of the country.

All thanks to our action governor Peter Mbah! God really answered our prayers this time by giving us a governor with a correct head on his neck!

God bless our amiable governor Peter Mbah!

Mine and I would not encourage our daughters to marry men 20yrs older because of fear of Shiloh. We are not peasants. They will marry strategically within their economic and social bracket. Not out of pressure of reproduction as their worth is beyond their bodies and breast. Na people wey wan born 5 dey fear this kind thing. Born 1 or 2 and rest. There are other 18yo girls out there for you to impregnate. Marry those ones because this reasoning is for your level and circle. We no dey reason like that for here.

Egbe! Trying so hard to appear woke! You're no better than me who wants to birth 5 kids in anyway, so why making it look like you're socially or economically better?! The difference between you and I might just be that I don't feign wokeness where it is not necessary. I just understand the biological nature of women and the consequences of late marriages and pregnancies to them and that informs my decision to marry a younger girl and also to encourage my daughters to marry young.

pocohantas:
Na their choice.
No man in his 30s, 40s can come marry any daughter of mine at that age. Same way my papa no gree them marry me.

You may end up marrying your daughters yourself or escorting them to Shilo when the time comes.

I will encourage my own daughters to marry as early as 18-21yo provided they see men with correct heads on their necks. I wouldn't even mind still training them in school after marriage. Pregnancy and childbirth are faster and less complicated at such young ages because their bodies are more flexible compared to the stiffness of older women's bodies.

Daniel058:
My wife just clocked 20 few months ago, catch them young

And mine will be 20 in October!

gtassure:

IamAtAnger:

amoco:
You are a good man.
God continues to bless your home and hustles in Jesus name, amen!

Amen...thank you very much

Diamond098454:
Congratulations
My regards to your sweetheart

Thank you very much. She'll hear

As a rich guy who wants to marry, you better disguise to be poor and less flashy. That's the only way you can sift genuine women who are truly interested in you from the pool of ladies in the dating market.

When I was searching for a wife, I was working as a pharmacist in a private establishment. I came across many ladies; including those in healthcare, but many of them didn't want to take me serious just because I was working in the private sector and earning less.

However, I met my now wife in the same establishment and she showed genuine interest in me despite her being young and beautiful. Unlike before, I experienced true care for the first time from her. She'll call me and spend time talking and listening to me unlike previous relationships where talking to ladies felt monotonous.

Anytime I called her, she'll pick up her calls and if she missed my calls she called back immediately she saw my missed calls. That was how we built strong connection and I didn't waste any time in marrying her.

Now, her presence in my life has been a blessing as I have changed job from private to a gainful government employment. For this reason, I had to give her a memorable wedding despite the current economic situation of the country.

If you're on social media and you take what people say there seriously to the point of making a mentor out of such people and allowing their opinions influence your life decisions, then you are totally on your own!

E don start be that!

Aura for aura!

Metal for metal!

Aside for the bad economy, naira depreciation and insecurity,I'll say Tinubu is trying in other areas.

From the above picture, we know who is the man in the relationship and who's the woman.

Proserpina:
He lied.

He is not lying!

Proserpina:
Do you have evidence to back this claim?
I know for a fact that Nurses, Assistant care providers, care workers are never in short of jobs anywhere in the world. Especially not in UK that spend over 60% of its revenue on health services. Lol

Those people practically pay citizens to be mad

I know a nurse who just returned from the UK because he could not get a job while there

Caaz:
P square's Audio song comes to mind.

How do you mean?

Traditional marriage and white wedding done and dusted! I'm officially a married man!To God be all the glory!

Lame excuses to justify the peanuts they're paying Nigerian workers!

Congratulations to the smart kids. More of this please
