Health / Re: UK Stops Recruiting Healthcare Workers From Nigeria, 53 Others (Full List) by Johnrake69: 12:56pm On Apr 10, 2023

God bless them.


You can't be trained in Nigeria almost free of charge (because u paid chicken fee as tuition fee compared to Europe) without paying back to the Country, but using that knowledge to benefit European countries.


Why do we like to reason like this?

Nigerian government should train more doctors and export. Then we earn FX. Free movement of Labour is enshrined in international treaties. You can only stop Labour from moving by providing competitive terms of service.

The most valuable resource right now is human capital.

Fidel Castro of blessed memory did it in Cuba. Instead of scam infrastructural projects like the railway our resources should go to training the Nigerian people. We have a young population. Average age in Nigeria is below 19years.

Taxes will only guarantee you the right to live, school, work, do business, healthcare and have access to other social amenities in the region you live in. Voting will only be allowed in your state of origin.

We need to completely kill the type of ethnic propaganda that was spurn up during the last elections. The opportunity for irresponsible political actors and their surrogates to push us to the brink should be totally cut off.

A proposed ammendment to the electoral act and other areas of the constitution that concerns the right to vote to reflect this might just come up during the next national assembly.

Then it’s better Nigeria cease to exist.

If you’re going to another region to live then permit is required.

States like Lagos, Portharcourt, Kano should be made to contribute more to Federation account to help in investment in other regions.

What played out in Lagos should give Non westerner a huge concern.

Buying properties in the south west is a huge risk.

Where is Keyamo, the minister for state on Employment?

The Agbaya has never come to the media to address issues concerning his ministry where he draws monthly salaries but always on the media to defend drug allegations and electoral fraud.

And for APC supporters hailing him I hope you realize that you’re part of Nigeria’s problem.

Tinubu was govèrñór from 1999-2007, Obi left office in 2014.
Obi don't even rank in top 3 best governors in d history of SE.
U don't know who was and when they were in office but u think u know about role model.
It's obvious u didn't know Obi as govèrñór before u even what he did or not.
Comparing Obi to Tinubu as govèrñór is d hèîght of steewpidity.

Lol… Obi won Bill gate prize for the eradication of Polio which is not possible without a top notch primary health care.

Obi jointly won Thisday Governor of the year with Fashola in 2010.

Please tell us where Tinubu was ever recognized in Nigeria as a Governor for his performance.

Peter Obi remains the best Governor from the South East.

He was the first to build a 10 lane highway in the whole of South East. Onitsha Industrial Harbor that houses over 200 indigenous companies was Peter Obi’s government that supported it and that’s first of its kind in the whole of South East.

Anambra had the best road network in Nigeria, improved education in Anambra. Students from Anambra state have continued to dominate competitions both in Nigeria and abroad.

Anambra was the most secured state under Peter Obi if we’re to go with police records during his tenure.

You must not support a candidate but trying hard to rubbish visible achievements with reasonable amount still handed over to the successor when other governors are leaving debts is wicked.

And before you respond to why are people not staying in Anambra like your fellow ignorant people.

Anambra is the second most densely populated after Lagos.

Anambra remains the hub of trade for both South South and South East.

Give Southeast Senate Presidency for what? Politics is a game of stake and contributions.




Wait are you people crying over this? Did the South East tell you they want Senate Presidency?

I don’t even understand what you guys are about. Ndudi Elumelu was Minority Leader of the House of Rep yet his village doesn’t have road and water. I voted against him and thankfully he lost re-election.

Every right thinking Nigerian should be more concerned about holding office holders accountable. Where you’re from is really immaterial.

Today an Indian is the current UK prime minister let that sink in. What’s the essence of power and money when it can’t be used to better the lives of the people?

You are very delusional and myopic, in fact to say your a fool, it's an understatement!!! Which part of the constitution says Muslims can't have those seats? The north laboured and ditched their son for Tinubu because they don't know what they are doing ba!! Even if the north can't get it, it should be SS, but never SE

So the SE should reap where they did not sow because of consideration and to accommodate them!! Others regions are fools ba!!

APC donbt need votes from SE and will never! To hell with them, who there votes help!!


Lol… you’re quite ignorant. Who senate President help?

David Mark remains Nigeria’s longest serving senate President what development did that bring to his people in Otukpo, Benue state aside from the annihilation of his people by Fulani Herdsmen.

Keep supporting elites to share power among themselves while you’re in abject poverty. Let the North and West hold on to power for now. Igbos will be fine. Igbos are survivors. You can’t point to one region that is more developed than the South East. So Igbos are not doing badly in the contraption called Nigeria.

Ideke is a great choice, but Igbos are becoming the biggest losers in this election.

The quality of leaders from the east heads down from here😏. Look at the quality of people we are now sending to abuja to face the experienced folks from the other regions. We are replacing experienced underperforming folks with untested folks who weren’t even vetted.
We don’t even know many of these labor party guys😡. An Okada man just won the house of reps seat in Kaduna under labor party.
If Tinubu wins this elections, this is the worst igbos will be since 1999, and labor party brought it on gleefully by supporting an Obi who can never get 25% in 24 states.

And if Atiku wins, we have basically voted against him after years of supporting him. And even Okowa sef will not be happy with us because we didn’t treat him with a sense kinship. We followed a mad man like Wike to destroy our best chance.
Now he has handed over rivers to Tinubu who we don’t like Igbos. WtF did we gain?

We have been making consistent historical mistakes due to emotional rather than rational considerations.

WTF are you talking about? Uguwanyi na human being?

Politics / Re: Naira Notes Scarcity: Edo Govt To Set Up Special Task Force On Pos Agents by Johnrake69: 8:45am On Feb 07, 2023
obi58:


You're just a clown.....

The reason for the whole new naira regime is to reduce Nigerian's overdependence on cash.

Abroad people don't move about with much physical cash when 99% of their transactions are paid for by card or transfer.

The demand for cash far exceeds supply that is why banks have difficulty in keeping their ATMs loaded.

It is the same problem with the new notes. Yes there is politics involved in it without a doubt but the fundamentals are the same. Government wants more people to go cashless. Now even if you load 20m in your ATM POS agents are on standby to withdraw all the money. I hear that now they even pay multiple people to go to the ATM and withdraw on their behalf. In addition they also have multiple cards all in a bid to bypass the CBN restrictions. As a result an ATM that could have served 500 people will end up serving just 50 people meanwhile not enough deposits are coming in because people are hoarding their cash either to use themselves or to sell to pos agents who of course will sell at ridiculous rates to Nigerians who no dey hear word. Even major cash depositors like fuel stations are not allowed to go and deposit their monies at the bank at close of business because POS agents are there to buy their cash! Banks thus are put Inbetween a rock and a hard place of limited supply and unlimited demand for cash!

If majority of small businesses start accepting transfers or get a POS for their business payments or get a QR code which a customer can scan and make payment, gradually demand for physical cash will reduce over time and with the reduction in demand, all those stockpiling their cash will release same into circulation.

Things are difficult right now in some areas crazy sef but I believe we are on the right track. Government should allow this scarcity to remain until after election after which they can relax some controls. There should be an expansion of network capacity by banks to accommodate the increased transfers which is sure to occur to ensure more customer buy in, improved service and reduced transfer issues which is the major reason why people distrust transfers.

Finally a task force should be setup to monitor cash pos operators to check their excesses and avoid over exploitation of the people. It's crazy for people to have to pay 1000 or 2000 naira to withdraw 10000 naira!

You can't enforce cashless policy overnight. How much electricity do you generate and distribute? A country in total darkness wants to implement cashless policy. Really laughable.

Let's test your theory. Because Pos agents are withdrawing their own money from ATM then the banks should rather save the available cash in their vaults and render their machines inoperative. Smh.

So many of my transactions from Gtbank to Access took 72 hours to complete using my app in the last one month but according to you we should live or pretend to live like those in US and Canada.

Before the Naira design max withdrawal from ATM was 120K. Now, max withdrawal is 20K. By all means CBN should guarantee that #20K daily withdrawal to any bank customer with cash in the bank. Up Till few days before the deadline banks were paying out old notes while they kept selling new notes to the highest bidder.

A governor should be setting up tax force to check banks and not Pos if they want to effect change. Bankers are selling cash to customers.
Politics / Re: Naira Notes Scarcity: Edo Govt To Set Up Special Task Force On Pos Agents by Johnrake69: 9:06pm On Feb 06, 2023
This man is a clown. POS agents have nothing to do with the naira scarcity. It was same Pos agents that were charging just #200 for 20K withdrawal few months ago before Naira redesign.

If ATMs are dispensing cash nobody will bother using Pos agents. Some weeks ago in the whole of Ago and Okota only 1 Access bank atm was dispensing. This corridor has over 15 banks.

3 Access bank branches, 1 UBA, 1 Stanbic Ibtc, 1Ecobank, 1 Polaris, 1 Fidelity, 2 Gtbank branches, 1 Fcmb, 1 Zenith Bank, 1 Firstbank, 1 Sterling bank and 1 Keystone bank.

Politicians like to chase shadows. Police should raid every bank vault and charge both CEO and branch managers to court for committing felonies against the state.

I m addicted to carbonated drinks and it's beginning to sound weird and I can hardly do without taking like 3 a day in every meal I take.

It's like there's a force propelling me to always take carbonated drinks.

Pls how do I get rid of such unhealthy habits?

You’re poisoning your system. I was exactly like you about two years ago. I will stock my refrigerator with assorted drinks. I can’t eat any meal without a drink.

Until I was hospitalized for 5 days. My whole system was shutting down gradually. My sugar level went through the roof. 330 at the time.

From my lifestyle I had acquired diabetes. Now, I was put on drugs for 6months and to inject myself with insulin before going to bed.

I got home and made serious lifestyle changes. I refused to take the drugs nor the insulin shots but completely stopped drinks. I only go with water now.

And I noticed huge changes. The chronic back pain I was having disappeared. My sugar level is now normal less than 100 before meal and 130 after meal.

I didn’t take even one tablet from the drugs I spent about 60K buying. It’s still in my wardrobe.

You can stop it. Don’t wait until you’re rushed to the hospital because your body system will shutdown at some point.
