I get the feeling that security operatives no longer value the lives of citizens for them to open fire on people to the extent of killing seven.


If people are to be necessarily dispersed, why can't some other method be used- tear gas would have been more effective.

Navy gave 2 violent ones non lethal shots.
Navy has asked them to snap the bodies of the dead.
The 2 f00ls are straightening their destinies in hospital.

lol, Where was Nnamdi Kanu during the shoot out?

If President Buhari refuses to do something about the wanton killing of women and children in the middle belt by evil Fulani herdsmen, this country will go up in flames. This is the plain truth!
Cattle rustling is the excuse and reason giving for the killings. However, majority of those involve in cow rustling are the fulanis themselves. We all heard reports of cow rustlings in places like Kaduna, Zamfara, Katsina, Kebbi and others. Do google search and you see. All of these places are fulani states except for southern Kaduna. Cow rustlings are rampant even in Niger Republic. If the fulanis can rustle cows in their own states, they can do it anywhere in Nigeria.
The issue of the middle belt is different because the whole thing is planned. Cow rustling is deliberately executed to give way for fulani wind of terror on innocent people going about their normal businessess. The killings are well organised and coordinated to wipe out minorities in the middle belt of Nigeria. It is genocide!
It has never been worse like this before. Enough is enough.
If federal government does not do something about the issue of fulani and their primitive way of life, the people will take laws into their hands to defend themselves.

Cc: seun, Barcanista, lalasticlala, Sincere9gerian, Bishopmagic, all4naija, Biafraqeen,
Pls help spread the news. People are being killed as I write by fulani herds men!

who will set Nigeria ablaze? you? ie if you survive the fulani onslaught.
Every id!ot can threaten the sovereignty of Nigeria, I dont blame you!! Na Boko ha4am gave you morale

centje:
To the living, Death is a painful part of our life. It becomes more painful when it occurs at young age and from a preventable cause. To the diseased student, may her soul rest in peace, Amen!

I really pity the girl, her friends and family, most likely she died out of our poor system. That's a glaring truth!

However, there's a chronic problem among Nigerians, which is, we tend to be carried away by sentiments, no room for critical analysis to prevent such occurrence in future, as we continue to live.

Let's analyse what led to the death of this female student and the actions of her sympathisers afterwards..

From the story flying around, both first hand and news outlets, the student collapsed while taking her bath [ think!... her friends or neighbours, or hostel mates would only notice she has collapsed after a long stay in the bathroom, unless she was taking the bath with another person, so she must have collapsed in the bath room long before it was discovered ]. She was said to have started bleeding Vaginally. She was then rushed to the UPTH ( University of Portharcourt Teaching Hospital) Accident and Emergency (A/E) Unit, where she was told by a nurse that there was no bed space in the A/E unit. She was taken to a private Hospital, but her friends was unaware she died while in transit, so she was certified Dead on Arrival (DOA) at the private hospital. The private hospital, to avoid 'trouble', then referred them back to UPTH where she was taken to morgue. Friends of the diseased student then instigated other students and protest began, and attack was targeted at UPTH, and its staff, especially those at A/E unit. The East west Road(A federal road) was also blocked.

Let's also clarify something about the student. I have worked in a University Medical Centre, and I knew how Theatre Art students were rushed to A/E unit. Then, 5 out of 10 admission in A/E unit were theatre Art students. Why was it so? Reason: They do a lot of rehearsals, very stressful rehearsal, almost 24 hours in most days of the week. What if she has been ill for sometime but didn't seek care?

Now, let's critically look at this student's death. What are the possible causes of her death? We are limited here because we need some basic medical information from her friends, but from the history of vaginal bleeding as a young girl of reproductive age, what comes to mind is Ruptured Ectopic pregnancy, severe Anaemia from menstrual loss, Miscarriage, illegal Abortion ( illegal in Nigeria) and other gynaecological cause of Vaginal bleeding. Other common possibilities include severe malaria ( severe Anaemia ), hypoglycaemia( low blood sugar ) ...

As I write the Hospital is planning for Autopsy on the Diseased student. So findings will be out soon.



Now, What are the problems that eventually led to her death?

First, if she was pregnant, then her Boyfriend should be ready to answer some queries from her parents and investigating team. Did they attempt Abortion? Was it ectopic pregnancy? Pregnancy would have been prevented by simple condom, but most girls dislike condom, yet they have little knowledge on how to monitor their ovulation or use of contraceptive.

Secondly, Theatre Art department need to review the inhumane activities these students pass through as theatre Art students, sometimes they are made to rehearse under the rain, when some of them are asthmatic.

Thirdly, how equipped is their University Medical Centre? Are money not allocated for their medical centre? 'Uniport wasn't born last night', it's an old university. Their medical centre should be able to handle cases like this, unless her friends are hiding something which will spread in the school if they had taken her to their medical centre. Like I said earlier I have worked in a University Medical Centre, I know how students behave in relation to medical treatment. While I worked there I gave serial complaints about setting up a theatre to handle minor surgeries. I was happy the university responded fast, and before I left they were already performing appendicectomy and other surgeries. Can that be said of Uniport medical centre? Who is to blame if it is not equipped? Is the the doctor or the nurse or the Government?

State of of our healthcare system, especially teaching/ tertiary Hospitals. I have also worked in a teaching hospital, a very busy one. It gets so busy that we stop taking in patient into A/E, into the wards. Laboratory results are queued and takes average of 2days to get a lab result, you can now imagine how long it takes to make definitive diagnosis for a patient in critical condition in A/E. You just can't do anything when the teaching hospital capacity is saturated. The worst is the troubles of accessing blood to save an traumatised patient, most time doctors go to lab to beg....not really the fault of the lab scientists per say but the replacement system is poor. Once the patient gets well he refuses to replace the blood used in saving him/her.
Who's fault is it that we have a poor system? The doctor? The nurse? The pharmacist? The lab scientists? The government? The populace?

Poor design of health care network. In countries with good health care network, both hospital (private and government owned hospitals) and state ambulances ( can be bus, van or helicopter ), have a short code one can easily dial in cases of emergency and the response is swift, and while they are moving, they are already giving first aid treatment to the patient, they already know hospitals in the city where there's available bed space, the hospital is contacted and given clue of the kind of case coming, the hospital assembles team of healthcare professionals to receive the patient and start necessary management fast. But then we won't direct our anger to the government in power at any given point in time.

Have you asked yourself what is the population of PH not to talk of Rivers state? Have you also tried to compare such population with the number of government hospitals and the capacity of each hospital, I say government hospital because that is where most River State residents will access cheaper health care. How much has Rivers state government done to ensure easy accessibility of health care her residents? Are there Doctors and equipment In our village healthcare centres?

Again, we can be careless with emergency situations, some states like Enugu, have some ambulance service, Have effective fire service, Have police short code, how many of us make effort to have these codes or numbers, how many know how to administer CPR in case of emergency. I was the one that opened a thread in Health section of Nairaland : TIPS ON COMMON ACCIDENTS AND EMERGENCIES, how many of us have taken time to learn one or two skills there?

In this index case, the students attacked UPTH for perceived negligence, even in the report the Nurse was tagged wicked. Negligence is not out of the question, no one is certain of what transpired until investigation is carried out.
But let's take another angle, for a nurse to tell you there's no space, most likely no space, because I have been with nurses most part of my life. They run shift system, while doctors work 24hrs, so the stress of the hectic hospital work in Nigeria is not so much on them, a doctor is more likely to be overwhelmed by work or to run away from work due to work fatigue than a nurse. So must time when a nurse says there's no space, check very well there won't be space in that hospital, and am sure the students wouldn't take the female student away to another hospital if they could sight an empty space or bed in the A/E unit.

The immediate past Governor of Rivers State, Rotimi Amaechi once said that they ( politicians) steal because we don't stone them. You can't imagine the happiness I would have felt if these students had directed their grievance to the government, as little as hauling stone to government house would have sent a lot of messages to politicians all over the country. At least the Government at every level would know that Nigerians can rise Against them one day, so they would sit up, build good roads to reduces Road traffic accident as major cause of death in Nigeria, build better universities, plan our Cities well, equip our hospitals, build more hospitals, design a good healthcare network, give health care works their deserved remuneration to avoid industrial action, instead of buying cloth and newspapers for senators, flying presidents and Governors to foreign medical treatment with our tax money.

You are better off a native doctor, which medical school released this semi fvcktard?
Ezi!! Uniport students, get us the names of all the goats on duty that day , Buhari has not sacked anyone this month.

AdaNri1:
Very intersting analysis. RIP to the victim.




Op I think the word is deceased

Auto correct

@OP
You sincerely believe that the Isreal of today is same as the biblical Isreal? olodo!!

MrMcJay:
The offence is a strict-liability offence. It doesn't look at why, it simply states "anyone".
If you present statement of yours during his trial, you have done the job of the prosecution and Dasuki is gonna be out of circulation for a long time.

I just hope his lawyers are of a more intelligent stock than you are.

Dasuki as a retired col is well trained to handle fire arms, his former position as the NSA makes him a BH bulls eye as such he is entitled to some protection, it is upto him to decide whether he wants to do it himself or allow Govt agencies to do it for him.
The Govt can not love Dasuki more than himself.

Secondly, Dasuki has both military and DSS attachee to his residence, where are they supposed to store their Ammo if not Dasuki's house?

Dasuki will wriggle out with an intelligence report that will shock the judge, EFCC is just fooling around.

chukwudi44:
You charge a retired army Colonel and someone who was NSA barely 48 hours after leaving office for illegal possession of firearms!!! how dumb can a government get. Even a 100 level law student will have this case thrown out

lol,

MixedMan:
What's this Anumanu Saying? I spent Close to 50mins reading this Waste from a confirm South WASTErner and I couldn't even figure out a tangible point you made.. Which Restructuring of NNPC? Are You Mad Op??

Buhari said in his own words " why shold jonathan be asking for neighbouuring countrys help in fighting Boko haram, that he's a general,he don't need to form any alliance with any country to fight boko haram,all what he will do is mobilise the Nigerian army and within few weeks boko haram is over"

The same buhari said the nations account was empty and within 2weeks he was inaugrated he approved over 40billion to travel, ..

When Will you APC supporters start seeing things from the right angle.. You guys claim you are your brothers keeper yet you betray yourselves.. A typical example is Tinubu and fashola.. *spits*

You should at least provide links where those things were mentioned just like the OP,
This is Nairaland not gossip land the last time I checked.

@op

f00l dont look for a job continue looking for women, your mate chop your beb behind your back, went to India to hussle and he is coming to break your arms finally and you are here talking nonsense.
These are the goats who contribute to the poverty index of this country, can you take care of a woman with your 18k minimum wage should you get her pregnant?

I don't see why her choice to get married is your problem, is it because she is marrying someone else?
plebians always beg women to get their attention, imagine a jobless guy saying "my girl". you deserve to be slapped, can you afford her bride price?

Do you have any idea how much her parents are spending to see her through school, can you afford it?
see his brown yellow teeth, your girl!! who dash you?

I blame all these girls who open their legs for rifraffs who lack ambition.

ofeke!!

ArodewilliamsT:
Are you not one of greatest proponents of 'Igbo will never rule Nigeria' before we started calling it the zoo. Ojukwu tried to mend fences but you called him names. Even Alex Ekwueme was called A triator Biafran when he contested against OBJ. Igbos CAN NEVER DO RIGHT IN YOUR EYES. They are to be ruled but not allowed to rule right. You balkanize their lands and starve them of federal presence thinking you can keep them slaves forever.

Read my lips, 60 millon Biafrans at home and diaspora are asking you to Start getting used to international borders in kogi and ondo. That's the only futuristic thing to do right now. Your impending Caliphate can never be thwarted. Viva Biafra!

Another Projeny of Nnamdi Kanu the national lunatic

Dornier 228 is not a helicopter use your head for once

Eggs that you waste monthly in sanitary pads you cant help your sister with?
Fine, she made you the promise knowing you will not agree without coercion.
You have a case of OBT with a DNA evidence ofcourse, the legal penalty fine for OBT is less than the 3m you are asking for.
It is a loose loose situation for the woman.

you dont need to buy any mumu pepper spray. Just go any local market buy cameroun pepper(the black ones), grind it ,look for old perfume bottle put water with the grinded in the bottle,shake it a bit.

To test it efficacy spray a little in your eye...

Olodo

@op

Because it is called pepper spray does not always mean there is pepper inside, some are artificial pepper related extracts, some contain tear gas (tripple action) etc, you can now cut our farmers some slack.

What happens when nigeria improves in these areas mentioned above ?

totorimi:
When the former first lady Dame Patience Jonathan cried out " There is God o! There is God oooo!! a lot or us turned her into a caricature of a woman but little did they know that that cry was a call unto the most High God and a challenge to Him to expose everybody involved in the menace to be exposed and disgraced.
just as prophet Elijah of old cried out that let the God that answereth by fire be our God and He responded so also shall it be. indeed if there is a God on Heaven who sees the hidden things, HE will surely expose the brains behind this Boko killings in no distant time.

Her cry woke Nigerians to remove her incompetent husband.

BiafranNigerian:
Their spokesperson nominee is the President, and has promised them billions of Biafra Oil money, why cant they just chill. Anyway, e no concern me, they are destroying the zoo.

free2ryhme:
Let the Naira compete


Attract foreign investments and encourage local production.

How can you attract foreign investors when you have Boko in the North, militants in the south and IPOB brewing in the east?
When you can barely supply 10hrs of electricity daily? when the investors are a multiple taxation target for state governments and host communities?

Truth is; Naira is not ready to compete yet that is the sad truth. The touted biggest GDP in Africa is a function of consumption based on population nothing more.

erico2k2:
Don't turn things the other way round.did you say same.when GEJ govt wanted to do exact same thing cos of reason you stated above? U guys seem to amaze us.U can't shift the goal post in the middle of the match.

Jonathan declared Austerity measures a month after crude prices fell in August last year, having enjoyed a price surplus of over $115/bbl over the years.
That is a clear indication of mismanagement and a govt's inability to save.
I don't really expect you to think especially when you have a peculiar dull brain. The blame on Jonathan was well deserved.

Activa:
A 10% devaluation which will put the official exchange rate at about N220 to a dollar will allow the naira to settle? Even if our quest for rubbish imports remains the same?

Why are they all focusing on the demand side and not the supply side?

Why are they not talking about the refineries, textile factories, rice mills and stopping importing rubbish?

Those measures are long term they are focusing on short term gains for now

How can Dornier 228 be a helicopter? what is this reporter smoking?

@ op
Why are you telling us this? to confirm you are stup! ! d?

Doesn't mean the money wasn't stolen

Eyekandi:
I really really reaaaaly hate this thing
I lose respect and regard for any guy who asks for it

Some just after 24hours of meeting them, they ask for sexy pic urghhh

Nigerian women have no socializing skills just attitude, who bothered them with a chat let alone a profane one?
Ans to your last question;
You were as boring as hell reason he asked the ridiculous to put you off.

adonbilivit:
I am asking this question because of the stories I have been reading on how landlords have been harrasing their tenants. so I am expecting my girlfriend in two days time and she is going to spend a night and leave the next day. I have not told my landlord and I have no plans to do that for now because I feel I am entitled to have visitors once in a while. no girl has ever visited me in the house so she will be the first and maybe the only ever. so guys, what do u think?
