He should get Niger or Benin Republics visa then. Once he's in those countries, he'll be as free as air to enter Nigeria.

We know he's clowning though

Dawn91:
He is putting round pegs in round holes.. he is smartly staying away from appointing politicians and instead appointing only professionals

Someone who ran for US Senate in Pennsylvania in 2022 but failed isn't a politician? Or is it Kennedy who isn't?

verydarkgal:
Men treat your wives the way you want your daughter to be treated

And women treat their husbands the way they want their sons/brothers to be treated!

Why do y'all always make it seem like women are the ones who get treated badly in marriages? Men get the worst treatments in many cases and theirs is worse because nobody cares. They're meant to sulk up every rubbish and "man up"


Not supporting domestic violence in anyway though. I'll rather divorce and live in peace than put up with a woman who would provoke me to the point of beating her at all.

Anybody who suffered in Nigeria and got fortunate enough to gain a visa to the developed world would not be very careful not to get into the back books of the host country.

These guys are obviously some rich kids born and raised in the UK and haven't smelt the suffering called Nigeria all their lives

While that is true, e fit be say dem yab them tire for school and thought they'd never make it in life. So, as a revenge, they had to utter those words.

People hardly yab others for being academically dull but it's usually easier for some misguided people to oppress when they feel they've made money!

@Op, check those guys posting all the cars and success stories, many of them are into fraud and other criminal activities! Like someone rightly posted here, no legitimate hustler would boast about wealth or look down on those who haven't made wealth yet because they understand the intricacies of genuine wealth.

Genuine wealthy people understand the wise saying that:

" Those who had their palm kernels broken by benevolent spirits owe the spirits only but the gratitude to be humble"

ChrisIntegral:
Please is it a sin to give the 10 percent to the poor people instead of the church?

Because this is what I do..

Continue doing that.

Giving your 10% to the poor and needy is more acceptable to God than giving it to pastorpreneurs.

God dwells more among the poor and that is why he disguised as a poor man when he wanted to test people in the past

Op, the problem must come from the management of the hospital who fail to procure those drugs and on time due to their inefficiency. Some of them owe the pharmaceutical companies supplying those drugs for so long leaving the companies with no choice than to stop supplying.

Please when next you go there, direct your anger and protests to the management, don't go and be venting your anger at the pharmacists in the pharmacy department. Tackle the management because they are the ones in charge of procurement

You are an igbo man and they are the weakest of men when it comes to marriage

I'm Igbo too and I agree with you that Igbo men are the weakest when it comes to women and marriage.

So because he gave Wike credit when he did well he shouldn't criticize him for being control freak, encouraging violence and corrupting the judiciary all for his selfish political gains

My friend, that is how constructive criticism works! You give kudos when the person deserves it and chastise the person when they fvck up.

abatically:
According to vdm, who visited him in prison, the case is more complex. Vdm said he told him after they caught the robbers, the prosecuting lawyer came to meet him in prison and told him they only way they could help him was if he denied ever knowing the robbers in front of the judge which he agreed to do. So when they got to court they asked him 'do you know these guys' and he said he didn't know them. That's allegedly by the way. If this is true then he has really implicated himself. But death sentence? That is harsh since there was no report of anyone dying from the robbery.

The prosecuting lawyer must have taken bribes from the main criminals or belong to the same cult/cartel with them, so they implicated the poor boy and made him the scapegoat to free the main criminals.


I've always said that the Nigerian judicial system is one corrupt entity filled with unscrupulous lawyers who're neck-deep into occultism and all manner of corrupt practices.

I just hope Ebonyi state government would take up this matter and liaise with her Lagos state counterpart to free this innocent boy.

Congratulations to you, Miss Chidinma. More wins!

This must be one of those biased and sentimental persons in the allied healthcare services
It'll be a waste of time arguing with such people.

Why do you doctors readily claim that your colleagues in allied healthcare are biased when from your posts on issues you're the biased ones?

YouandiAllofus:
I may not fully be abreast with the severity of the misfortunes in your marriage right now. But going by the story you posted up there, I don't think that you have a problem in your marriage.

Actually, by not telling your wife before handing that financial assistance to your sister is enough to give your wife reasons to be concerned regardless whether you gave her money for clothing as well.
Your sincerity is put to question.
What you're trying to make her understand is that 1 + 1 is equal to 2 which is correct outside marriage but in marriage, 1 + 1 is equal to 1.
Aside emergency situations, every intentions and reactions are supposed to be shared at all times no matter how weighty or light they may be.
This is one way to build trust and shut the door to suspicions.

NONSENSE POST

That's if she treats me the way she'll want her brother's wives to treat her brothers

Free2Fly:
To an average Nigerian, the doctor is responsible for all the poor health indices in Nigeria.
You should first start by asking about the proportion of the sick Nigerian patients who get to the hospital.
Majority of them patronize prayer houses, herbal homes/remedies and patent medicine dealers/pharmacy shops.
Of the smaller proportion that eventually gets to the hospitals, how many can afford the cost of complete, standard investigations?
Nigerians pay out of their pockets and that's a big impediment to standard healthcare provision.
Healthcare is quite expensive and there's no country that can offer a standard care to her populace if they are to make out-of-pocket payment for the services.
In most cases, people will want to know if the huge amounts they're paying for investigations will also cover for their treatments, and once the response is in the negative, they zoom off.
You won't blame them because earnings are so poor in the country and aren't even enough for feeding, let alone for investigations they deem non-therapeutic.

This is not to mention the cultural and religious beliefs amongst Nigerians that interfere with care provisions.
I have seen a Prof who had a leg ulcer and was sent for Duplex ultrasound, but he preferred instead to go to a herbalist, believing his problem was from a juju he stepped on. Such incidents are rife in Nigeria.

See, the causes of the healthcare problems in Nigeria is complex, and can't be simplified by just focusing on or blaming the doctors, who in most cases, don't even have the tools to work with.

The doctors contribute to the problem of poor healthcare in their own way. Healthcare is a team work but most Nigerian doctors don't see it as such. Doctors are meant to work with other healthcare professionals like Pharmacists, laboratory scientists, radiographers etc to deliver quality healthcare but what they do especially in their private hospitals is to employ quacks who know nothing about healthcare to man these other strategic departments. They do that in order to maximize profits at the expense of quality healthcare delivery.

Like I said before, once the purpose of healthcare is focused largely on money and profits, quality is bound to be compromised. Most people now even prefer to go to pharmacies because Pharmacists don't charge extra money for their consultations aside the cost of drugs, and you and I know that Pharmacists are well trained enough to administer the right medications to patients and some even perform better than some doctors. What is the need of going to the doctor and paying all the consultation fees when the doctor will eventually not render quality care?

Let Nigerian doctors learn to stop downplaying the importance of other healthcare professionals but work in harmony with them to deliver quality care! They don't know it all! Over the years, leadership of our healthcare institutions has been in the hands of medical doctors but nothing to show for it! Life expectancy has continued to fall year in year out..

So can you now see that many Nigerian doctors are contributing to the problem? To solve the problem, let Nigerian doctors emulate how healthcare services are delivered in the western world, shore up standards of practice and stop seeing other healthcare professionals as competitors but rather as teammates!

As for cost of care, let every Nigerian get enrolled into health insurance as being championed by NHIS. If this is done and the healthcare professionals work harmoniously, we should be able to achieve universal health coverage.

One of the drawbacks of having too many religious charlatans in a country is that they divert attention from real problems and make people follow the wrong approach in solving life problems, always attributing natural problems to the spiritual and seeking miraculous solutions instead of profering practical solutions until the problem snowballs into something big.

That is why Adeboye would rather divert people's attention and claim that his prayers miraculously prevented the naira from falling to 10k against 1dollar. Those religious charlatans also now package unresearched herbal concoctions and sell at exorbitant prices to people, thus preventing their gullible zombies from seeking practical medical solutions until their conditions become complicated and they die avoidable deaths.

Religious fanaticism is indeed the bane of development and civilization of the third world countries. Quite unfortunate!

Accurate diagnosis of diseases is the backbone of effective drug therapy. However, in Nigeria, the culture of blind treatment is the order of the day whereby doctors prescribe medications without thorough diagnosis of the condition first.

There is increasing cases of 'strange' diseases in the country, especially in the southeast where I currently reside. Such diseases are often tagged "strange" when doctors cannot properly diagnose them hence administer wrong treatments until the disease worsens and the patient dies eventually.

Many have died of heart diseases which doctors were busy treating as "ulcer" and administering all manner of medications and making a lot of money off the patients and their relatives. Some have died of kidney related problems while being treated of something else until their conditions got worse.

When cases like the above happen, people easily attribute them to 'spiritual' causes not knowing that the right treatment had not been prescribed due to wrong diagnosis.

We seriously need to step up the standards of our healthcare in this country. There's urgent need to restrict access to drugs until accurate diagnosis has been made and the exact cause of illness determined before drugs prescription can be made.

To do these, we need to implement the national drug distribution guidelines, close down open drug markets and ensure synergy between hospitals, medical laboratory and Pharmacies such that the doctors make diagnosis only after assessment of laboratory results and then write prescriptions for Pharmacists before drugs can be employed.

The current chaotic situation whereby anybody can just go over the counter and buy just any drug and wrongly treat different things from what the individual is suffering from is not helping our healthcare system at all..No wonder life expectancy keeps nosediving in Nigeria. What else do you think is the cause of the several under 50 obituaries we regularly see in our neighborhoods? People are simply dieing avoidable deaths due to improper diagnosis and wrong medications application.

Also, the quest for fast wealth is contributing to the deteriorating healthcare system in the country. Many doctors are just concerned about making quick and huge bucks off patients without administering the right treatments. To ensure sound public health, we need to treat healthcare not as any other business ventures where the focus is solely on profits. This same mentality is why there seem to be reluctance on the part of government to implement various laws aimed at controlling drug distribution and closing down open drug markets that make it easy for just anybody to have access to prescription drugs. We shouldn't continue to endanger public health on the excuse of some individuals making a living at the expense of other people's health and lives! We produce large number of doctors and healthcare professionals but this doesn't translate to improved healthcare delivery and longer life expectancy for our people. This is simply because we fail to maintain standards of practice either ignorantly or deliberately by those whose sole aim is just to make money without minding how public health is being affected!

We borrowed orthodox medical practice from the west, yet we don't want to improve on our practices by being thorough just like it is done in developed western nations. There's a reason why life expectancy is 80 plus in the developed societies while we are having abysmally low life expectancy here in Nigeria ( 52years for women and 48years for men). Even our prominent personalities like politicians, celebrities and business moguls hardly live to old age these days! We seriously need to improve on the quality and quantity of our healthcare as a nation!

MadamVanessa:




Marry who you're attracted to in all ways, desperation shouldn't push you to marry who's available and ready to do the needful. In a long run, you'll feel irritated and disgusted in whatever he does and nothing he does to please you will please you.

7 years now I have been out of marriage, and to be perfectly honest I have no regrets or whatsoever being a divorcee. This years of being alone has been the best years of my life. I am not going to say I inclined to celibacy these years, I do it, mainly to kill the urge but not emotionally attached to whoever is shagging.


To me, Marriage isn't worth it at all. It's simply overrated. I regret ever getting myself involved in this nonsense. I was probably naive then , I can't blame myself much.

After getting yourselves entangled with bad boys on the flimsy excuse of "marrying whom you are attracted to", you turn around to complain and talk down on marriage when you get tired of the physical attraction and the bad boy starts showing you shege

FreeStuffsNG:
No university has antisemitism. This was the same mistake President Biden made and today his party lost.

I believe that they are anti-isreal because of the genocide Isreal is committing in Gaza.

With his pronouncements so far, President Trump will run another 4 years of drama, chaos and protests on US streets with his poor understanding of issues.

His honeymoon may soon be over even before he is sworn in next year. He is already touting doing a 3rd term probably to taunt the democrats.

It was okay for HAMAS to attack and kill Israelites on October 7 through Gaza but it's now genocide for Israel to retaliate Double standards

Love800:
I thought the corruption was coming from the heads(directors, executives) of the hospital.

Okay, its the federal government dat gives them money. What about if the government gives them money but the corrupt heads in charge of the hospital will eat it!

They generate funds and remit same to government after looting parts of the funds.

When they have projects to do or need to buy drugs and other consumables, they apply for funds approval from government through the governing council.

davidif:
Bros, its funny when Nigerians think that you must have a degree in a field to be able to run a ministry in that particular area. All you need is to surround yourself with experts in that area and make good policies. That's how things work in that part of the world. The fact that you are medical doctor does not mean you know how to run a ministry of health for goodness sakes. The same goes for other ministries. You just need to be someone who knows how to manage and run an organization and minister effectively irrespective of his background. Simple as that.

Exactly my brother. Many of those medical doctors lack administrative skills. They also bring in rivalry with other professional groups and further jeopardize our healthcare system. That is why I advocate for the government to open up leadership of our healthcare system to accommodate non-medical people with sound administrative skills as well as medical professionals with international exposures like prof Pate

You see how sensible nations choose their ministers of health They don't restrict it to medical doctors but choose seasoned politicians who will now galvanize the various professional groups in health to deliver wholesome healthcare!

If it were in Nigeria, they'll restrict the appointment to medical doctors who then connive with their professional pressure group, the NMA, to fight other healthcare professionals and at the end our healthcare is left in comatose state after government has wasted tax payers money in the sector!

Thank God for the current minister of health who is level-headed having gained exposures in international healthcare administration. The world bank really did us a favor by giving us professor Pate. Even when bigoted mediocres like Tunji Alausa wanted to truncate the status quo by usurping the roles of professional regulatory bodies in the sector through his proposal to establish a so called health facilities regulatory agency, prof Pate stood for the truth which is that there are no where in the world where medical doctors regulate other health professionals the way bigots like Tunji Alausa wanted.

Mumu, may be we should also give you at least 10 names of Igbo people in Tinubu's regime.

Tell your father that he is mumu!


A mumu father that gave birth to an 1mbecile of a son. That's what your father is!

Ayoefa:
Really?

Just some examples
Head of military
Head of economic team
In charge of oil
And the list goes on and on

If you don't know, go and ask or ask Google.

At the time Ihejirika was COAS, Rear Admiral Ola Ibrahim (a Yoruba man) was Chief of Naval Staff.

Akiwunmin Adeshina was also the minister of Agriculture

GEJ also wanted Mulikat Akande to become Speaker of House of Reps but house of reps members of the ACN bloc (who were loyal to Tinubu) opposed opposed Mulikat but supported Tambuwal to become speaker. GEJ also tried his best to appease the Yorubas by giving them more appointments to headship of other government agencies and parastatals.

So, stop pushing the false narratives that GEJ gave more appointments to Igbos. That fallacy has been busted on several occasions here on nairaland

Ayoefa:
Keep looking for excuses for your known hypocrisy.
The head of Army was Igbo man and the.list goes on.
Your hypocrisy is already legendary and well documented.
Same way Ojukwu kicked again Adaka Boro's secession plan only to turn around and justify his own secession.
You people will always try to find one lame excuse to justify your open,delusion and slowpoke hypocrisy.
Blind hypocrites.
Bye

'The head of army was igboman and the list goes on ' yet you couldn't mention other appointments in the 'list'!

Buhari was the one who set this dangerous precedent of having most of government appointees from his region and religion. Instead of Tinubu to remedy such nepotism, he continued in the same trend. This is too bad for a multiethnic country like ours!

Obasanjo and the PDP federal government understood the need to spread government appointments among the different ethnic groups in Nigeria as it helps to ensure oneness and inspire patriotism to the country... but successive APC federal government have succeeded in destroying that noble goal of the federal character principle! Now, it'll be very difficult to inspire patriotism to the country among the other ethnic groups who have been excluded from federal government appointments by Buhari and Tinubu's governments.

This is why I have always said it that Obasanjo remains one leader who is genuinely interested in One Nigeria. The rest of our politicians, especially the APC stock, are only paying lip service to the unity of the country. To them, Nigeria's leadership is just another "winner takes it all" game!

It baffles that hospitals and other healthcare institutions under the ministry of health lack adequate finances for their day-to-day activities. These institutions generate sufficient funds but where these monies go into is what I cannot tell. It's as if the government just siphon all the funds being generated by these institutions and channel them into irrelevant areas or loot the funds.

If these institutions start utilizing their IGRs and seldom remit them to government, they'll have more than enough funds to run the hospitals, hire adequate staff strength to man different units of the hospitals and take care of staff salaries and allowances. I think government should give healthcare institutions financial autonomy

Bizmind95:
Nigerian girls don't love unconditionally like we men do...they are all fvcking OPPORTUNISTIC lovers...Know this and know peace!...if you must fvck as a man...then just find a girl in your league...fvck...pay and go your way...Never get emotionally attached to a Nigerian girl...that's akin to suicide!!! As for marriage...if you must marry as a man...then just find a small girl that is scared of you...someone you can easily control and wife her....But if the marriage no come work out for you...Then just quit and go your way for your sanity sake!...forget what people will say...you aren't the first and won't be the last divorcee!!!...and never breed like Rabbits...so you will be free of unnecessary commitments that bogs you down....besides, women sabi use kids tie a man down inside a useless troubled marriage...Finally, never marry for fake true love...that shit died way back in our parents' era!!!

One of the reasons marriages lasted during the days of our forefathers was that there's usually a considerable age gap between a man and his wife. Then girls were married off early enough to men far older than they were. This made the wives to have great RESPECT for their husbands. Married couples then related not only as husbands and wives but also as fathers and daughters. Wives then had great fear and respect for their husbands and that made them to submit totally to their husbands!

But nowadays, in our bid to conform to the woke western standards, men are forced to marry not only their age mates but even to women far older than they are. Tell me how such women would respect and submit to their husbands. It is not possible, and one thing that has remained constant is that these same older ladies would still expect to be provided for just like it obtained in the times past. Hence, they still scout for rich men to marry them and if the man eventually loses his wealth, their wives become jittery and run away from the marriage. This makes me to wonder the benefits of marrying the so called "matured" women Obviously, there's no benefits but so so disrespect and unsubmissive tendencies!

This supposedly "woke" generation has spoilt everything there was to enjoy about marriage, thus making the marriage institution uninteresting.

Bobloco:
Though not holding a brief for Betty Akeredolu, Tinubu once said that he doesn't believe in Nigeria, in fact, not in one Nigeria. What do you have to say about that?

Tinubu is Yoruba after all

Don't mind the bigots!

Expressing dissatisfaction with the poor state of affairs in Nigeria only becomes normal when it is done by a Yoruba person. Once an Igbo person does same, bigoted f00ls would call him/her IPOB. The double standards in this country is nauseating to say the least!

ellalina:
Marrying from a single mother is a big big red flag. Marrying someone with alot of inlaws is one of the worse things you can do .

Why do you ladies hate your in-laws Perhaps because you feel that having your inlaws around would prevent you from carrying out your selfish agenda of enslaving the man and making him do all your biddings.

Y'all know that only your husbands' blood relatives like siblings can genuinely and unconditionally love him and protect his interests; including protecting him from your manipulations. That is why you do everything to keep in-laws away. And women have successfully turned the narratives against in-laws and made the society believe that in-laws are the villains and cause of marital problems
