Best wishes..

Acceptance Fee is one of the most ridiculous. Most schools now charge N25,000 for it. And, this singular sum has made many students forfeit their admission because they can't afford it. Many parents are not satisfied, yet no one is talking out loud. Why would I have to pay N25,000 as an acceptance fee? A formal letter would have been perfect as rightly suggested. I wish the government would look into this, please.

Seeing your post now on frontpage got me scared, cos I remembered reading through the supposed thread created by hoplink. Omg! Good to know you are hale and healthy and not dead (sic).

Nairaland could be so full of pleasant and unpleasant surprises.

Take good care of you. #e-hug #Blessings

What is a gp tank doing in the living room of a sane man?

I thought I wasn't seeing well and would need an eye glass! .

Maybe that isn't his living room. He seems too classy to have such as part of his home decor.

It wouldn't be bad idea if there are dedicated lanes for bicycle riders on our roads. Really, this should be initiated, first else, the impending danger of riding on those 'uncultured drivers-driven' roads could be more devastating.

Hmmm
Maid, again? This is worrisome.
RIP to the dead.

So true.

Eternity is a snap of fingers away. #Lord Have Mercy. RIP to the dead.

Haaa, Number 6 isn't that bad o...

I remember doing this in one of the churches I attended some years back. The prayer leader raised a point...and in the heart of worship, I felt I needed to worship God briefly before tendering the request...pronto, I hadn't finish singing when an elderly man beside me, touched me and said, "sister, you were asked to pray and not to sing". I felt embarrassed, and just couldn't pray on. #God's ways are not our way.

Singing praises to God during prayers shouldn't be seen as a wrong step, who knows, God might honour that more that those who just ask. Methinks, singing praises is an act of prayer, too. And, this depends on the song you are singing...My opinion.

He mst be so proud of his culture...Thumbs Up.

On this day of yours, do have a pleasant celebration. Happy Birthday!

I support you on this, my younger brother passed Jamb and post jamb very well, and yet he wasn't given admsn @ Unilorin and some kids dat scored 180 sumfin and 190 were given admsn. The thing pained my bro... He cried for a whole week despite reading day and night he's still not going anywhere

Prof. Dibu need to know what students and their parents are passing through too. JAMB/FG should stop feeling like a super-hero, when in actual fact they have not done much to making life easier for common student. Please, where else would they have gotten the supposed billions they use in compacting malpractices IF not from the over one Million candidates who pay the bills annually, and yet are denied admission?? Using such resources to combat malpractices is not too good thing to brag about, methinks.

We need to ask ourselves why do students engage in malpractices and not be SO proud to solve those JAMB questions if truly those questions match with their learning outcome from High schools?? Well, If poor learning outcome from high school is the reason for such practices, then, let's use the Billions of naira to recreating the system and not waste it on "mending" it.

Dear Prof. Dibu, these students are better than the malpractices-ridden candidates that you are making them to look like. Please, let's re-strategies and make this sector work. Invest in their education.

#iHaffSaidMyOwn #iHaffVexFinish.

BTW, I don't support malpractices but Justice.

Now, let's also talk about the Billions of Naira lost by Parents of those candidates whom JAMB wouldn't offer admission, yearly JUST because they do not have the capacity to carter for them.huh?

Last year, it was reported that over one million did not gain admission, not because they failed BUT because there are no enough schools to admit all.

Somehow, I wish JAMB could have a refund program for those students whom they refuse to admit despite their good grade in JAMB and Post JAMB. It's emotional loss, you know. why collect application fees from almost 2 million students when you could only admit some 33,000? Why?

Parents are counting their losses, too.

Mtshew!

If I were Atiku, I would collect my Dollars back!!!! Yes o, all those delegates that collected my Dollars must return it or else, what happened in 1869 might repeat itself...o.

such a waste of resources, I tell ya.

Icherishu:
News has it that it was a kidnapping case. As the kidnappers have contacted the family and advised that they should go and look for plenty money.

They haven't called back though to inform the parents how much is the ransom. The children are well and alive. All glory to God. Lets keep our fingers crossed and pray for the safe arrival of the kids.

We pray God to touch the heart of these kidnappers in Jesus name. May these kids be released, unharmed.
It's such a pathetic situation. What a fraudulent maid. Sometimes, you don't even know who to trust again. After all the 'yes ma', 'yes ma', 'okay ma' from these maids.

Kokoro tin je efo, ara efo lo wa.

God help these kids, don't take your eyes off them, please, Lord.

Tinubu has more years to hold Lagos as his personal business. One man holding the entire state at ransom since the inception of Democratic govt. Kai my brothers!

Lol. You may be right.

The undeniable truth is that Ambode is a competent leader, an achiever and vision-driven person. I have met with him, listened to him, and you just can't take away the fact that he'd make a good Governor....but then, his affiliation with Tinubu makes it a difficult one for people to accept his person. Lagosians don't want a one-man affair anymore.

I've been following up on Hammed's case and after reading the latest update, I couldn't hold back my emotions. To see what we can achieve when we are united without allowing race or religion get in the way is overwhelming.

From the first day I came across his case I have always put him in my daily prayer and also given my widow's mite. While am so happy for him, yet I am battling with my faith. My wife was diagnosed with a terminal disease last year and I've prayed all I can yet God somehow hasn't responded or maybe isn't ready for my case yet. It kills me watching her life sliping away each morning.

I don't need financial help. The only help I need is intercession. I can hardly pray or confidently believe His promises yet somehow, I know Djdola's improvement can only be a divine intervention.

Please help me ask God/Allah to intervene in my wife's case.

Don't just pass by, do say a prayer for his wife, please. Let's join our faith with his. For God can do all things.

Thanks for reading and praying.

"His father says,...Due to negligence, his case has worsen" #CityFMNews #update.

Quick Recovery, Omonigho...

It's still SO unclear why the Father would reject the Governor's offer.

Master Omonigho Abraham, the four-year old boy who sustained extensive injuries to his body, and a life threatening avulsion injuries to his scalp following a vicious attack by two Alsatian dogs has been flown to India for urgent medical treatment.

Little Abraham, who lived with his parents in their rented apartment at 35, Adegboyega Street, Akesan, Igando area of Lagos, Southwest Nigeria on 29 September, 2014, was attacked by dogs. He has been receiving treatment at the Burns and Plastics Unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital (LASUTH) before his father, Mr. Odia Abraham called for his discharge.

But the Lagos State Government said the boy was discharged from hospital against medical advice by his father.

Lawyer to his father, Barrister Goddy Okpamen confirmed that the boy has been flown to India, saying that the boy’s father was able to raise the money through a Non-Governmental Organisation, NGO even when the Delta State Government had indicated intention to take care of the boy.

Okpamen, who did not mention the name of the NGO said he was not sure if the NGO that is footing the bill has links with the Delta State Government.

Lagos State Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris, while reviewing report of the plastic surgery specialists in LASUTH who attended to Omonigho, stated that the boy’s father took an ill-advised step and chose to take his son out of the hands of the plastic surgery specialists in LASUTH on Friday, 28 November, 2014 after being thoroughly counseled that healthy granulation tissue growing on his son’s skull must not be interrupted.

He said all attempts to talk Mr. Abraham against taking this wrong step were rebuffed by him and that he signed necessary papers to show his desperation.

Idris, while explaining the involvement of the state government in the management of Omonigho’s health, said that the attention of the Lagos State Government particularly the governor was drawn to the case of the boy, who was initially rushed to the Igando General Hospital, where he was stabilized and wounds cleaned by the medical team at the Accidents & Emergency ward of the hospital.

The Commissioner added that Omonigho was thereafter referred to the Burns & Plastics unit of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, where Specialists in Plastic Surgery assessed him and promptly began to manage the life threatening avulsion injuries on his scalp which left most of his skull exposed.

The plastic surgery team, he said, placed the boy on intravenous medication, intravenous fluids and daily wound dressing in order to ensure that health granulation tissue can grow and cover the scalp before a skin graft can be successfully performed, stressing that, the definitive management of Omonigho’s type of extensive and deep wounds is a skin graft.

He added that when news of the sad and outrageous event was brought to the notice of the Governor, Babatunde Fashola, he was deeply moved with compassion like everyone else and he directed that young Omonigho Abraham be offered everything that would ensure that he not only survived the injuries, but recovered optimally, so that his opportunity to reach his full potential was not tarnished by the unfortunate accident.

According to the Commissioner, the directive by the governor ensured that Omonigho would receive the best of care at no charge to his parents or family members, adding that Mr. Odia Abraham; Omonigho’s father was thereafter invited to the State Ministry of Health where he received full re-imbursement for expenses he incurred previously in the management of his son’s health.

“He was given full exemption from paying any fees for the management of his son’s health at LASUTH during his stay there and Omonigho while recovering wrote a little “thank you” letter to the Governor,” Idris noted.

He said while the boy was receiving care at LASUTH, he was also visited by the Deputy Governor, Mrs. Adejoke Orelope-Adefulire, who spent time with him and his parents to ensure that they were adequately cared for, stressing that the deputy governor, during her visit found young Omonigho to be clinically stable and doing very well.

Idris noted that while conservative wound management was being done in the Burns and Plastic Ward, in LASUTH, the Lagos State Government set plans in motion to take Omonigho abroad for further management, where all expenses incurred would be covered by the state government, adding that, his parents were informed of every step of the process, and had close and continuous contact with the State Ministry of Health.

“After a thorough search, a suitable hospital was found that would care for the young boy. The chosen facility was the RAK Hospital, Dubai UAE. LASUTH established a communication channel with RAK Hospital and it was determined that Omonigho would require a meshed skin graft coverage of the exposed skull for the next phase of his management. The Governor thus approved the funds for the management of Omonigho, which includes traveling, feeding and accommodation at the RAK Hospital in Dubai, UAE”, the commissioner explained.

He noted that the boy’s father was promptly informed of the plan and was invited to the State Ministry of Health to discuss the details of the approval, travel plans and hospital arrangements, and was thereafter given a letter of approval stating the plans to fly his son abroad and was asked to provide his son’s passport with an accompanying family member in order to process visas and other travel requirements.

“However, Mr. Abraham informed us that a Non-Governmental Organisation from Delta State has made arrangements to fly him and his son for medical treatment at a hospital in India. He was counseled on the benefits of receiving the package offered by the Lagos State Government and was also advised to put forward his decision as soon as possible so that the necessary arrangements can be made to transfer his son and a family member of his choice to Dubai for the treatment,” he said.

He added that the state government, in an effort to ensure the best care possible for Omonigho, also offered to support Mr. Abraham if he would rather go to India, in the hope that he would be getting the best care possible from the unnamed hospital in India, being sponsored by the NGO.

The Commissioner noted that Mr. Abraham however, for reasons best known to him chose to take his son out of the hands of the plastic surgery specialists in LASUTH on Friday, 28 November, 2014 against medical advice.

“The surgical team explained to Mr. Abraham that it was pertinent that the healthy granulation tissue growing on his son’s skull through the careful, thorough and expert care of the Plastic Surgery team must not be interrupted as this may cause infections to set in, and slow the healing process, as well as, delay any definitive reconstructive surgery. But Mr. Abraham unfortunately, took the ill-advised step to leave the facility after being thoroughly counseled by the specialist,” he explained.

However, Odia Abraham denounced allegations that the boy was forcefully discharged, saying that everything went smoothly, stating that the NGO responsible, Global Initiative Abuja would visit the Ministry of Health, Lagos State to thank the state government on Tuesday.

“If they were fighting, will they be coming to Lagos, he said, adding that, the NGO moved faster than the Lagos State Government and that a thank you letter had already been written to the Lagos State to thank the governor, the Delta State Governor, Dr. Emmanuel Uduaghan, and the NGO.

Best Wishes, Boy..

This is so sad...SO unfortunate.

Sometimes I really want to ask what the government is doing to make schools easily accessible for common children? I wish every community has a school building to avoid children walking those loong distance...to school. Why are there no NEW public school buildings in Lagos with the increasing population?. Omg. This is so sad.

exam time or no exam time, u really need to work more on ur english. No offence pls

It's not about his English, trust me...it must be the 'auto-correct' app at work. Heaven knows I usually disable that 'ITK' on my phone. It could be so embarrassing when your words are neatly replaced...making you look like an "educated illiterate". #Smallrincowis16 is a victim, now.
