When you hide behind the internet to say things you cannot say in the open you are regarded as nothing but evil ( nobody engages in evil and despicable acts in the open anyway). If majority here claim to be either moral religious or fair in judgment, then we are in a serious issue in this country. This death and comments reveals the narcissist and the beast in a lot of us if we could not at the least show some respect for the dead rather shamelessly speak evil of them and their death when you don't even know the anything about them or have any personal encounters with them while they were alive. The internet is not a sure mask for retribution karma to take its normal course.

The british ( small b is intensional) royal is one family whose net expenditure borne by the government was 33.3 million pounds sterling (8.658 Billion Naira ) for 2012.

Uchiha Madara: This country is funny, just like the UK, but at least the UK has only one royal family.

Here in Nigeria we have Obas, Chiefs, Sheiks... all in one country, my my!

People will have to realize that there's nothing wrong in such ventures, it's not different from when states consulting foreign countries on technical issues or pay for the construction of infrastructures which are meant to improve the economic and social values of such states. On the issues of children roaming the streets I disagree with you because I'll say that majority of those children are not from Nigeria and if they are, they are not from Kano State. An average Kano man has either a business a trade or profession and these are proud people, although may exhibit some laid back attitude to work and like most Northerners believe that FGN jobs work responsibilities is an avenue to feather their nest,not to be taken seriously except in pursuit of positions and appointments nonetheless are people who don't beg and beg for alms at that. However a sizeable of them are hard working intelligent amiable good spirited people

As a short service or direct short service commissioned officer you can rise as high as Major General or its equivalent however that would have been after your conversion to either Regular , or Direct regular commissioning and you passed all your prerequisite courses along the ladder age still on your side, li you find yourself in the right specialty other political considerations and ultimately God on your side. Some officers who started as Short service commission had risen as high as Service Chiefs ( 3 in the Airforce) and infact one of them became the CDS, that may not be possible in the at this time.
The 6 0r 9 months training for the Direct short service, short service is an intensive military training covering All aspects of the presently 5years regular training and bet you its no joke. The major advantage a regular commissioned officer have is that he has the opportunity to know at least members of courses 3-4 years ahead of him and equally same years below him thus have enough God fathers to feather him in his career than short service course but in terms of military knowledge, competence drive intelligence, capability and maybe capacity there's no difference on the field. Though the short service commissioned officer tend to show more social and temperamental maturity by virtue of rowing up in the larger society than the regular commissioned officer.
There are all professions in the military as we have in the larger society including clergies who receive the same training and can do same thing like any other officer whenever there's a need but they are all highly revered ( Clergies).

Really some tenants are something else, there was this tenant up till early this year in a now 76 years old retiree's house, this woman used all her gratuity to complete the 3 detached 2bedroom flat building, being a career civil servant she had no business while in service thus depended on her salary to take of her bills then. The woman collects her rent every quarter from her tenants ( Imagine this in Lagos). When this tenant started behaving funny ( late nights smoking Igbo and not consistent with his rent when due), the old woman gave him 3 months after the expiration of his rent to leave her house but the guy begged for another 3 months after which he refused to vacate the premises, rather went to this Lagos state landlord tenant commission.
The commission ruled another six months again denying the old woman livelihood for 1 year. At the of the 6 months they still continue of 2 weeks then 1 week notice, after again they now talked of going to court to get and eviction which will not be expediently addressed. Now I want ask if a tenant decides not to be moral and compassionate with his landlord, does the tenant deserves to be treated with compassion and morality? Would it be wrong physical but eternal curses or diablos is infused maximally into such tenants. I nfact the woman had to offer the idiot 15k to pay for haulage when he decided to move and the idiot collected it which the woman really laced with Heavy curses. Interestingly, this guy is now in serious police issues and requires the mama's help as the DPO where his case is happens to be the Mama's nephew.
Anyway, would it have been morally wrong if the woman after one year forcefully evicts the guy?

No one has told us what benefit students in their final and penultimate years has got to derive from the strike when and even if the FG agrees and implements 120% of ASUU's demands.

This is not an issue of Christians , I gave you where you could trace these names where you'll see the prefix ogun in names meaning war ( Ijaye in Abeokuta. I don't use my foreign names given me in fact, ore my middle name has the prefix - Odu.

PAGAN 9JA:
I see you are Yoruba so I believe you.

these xtians try to hide the true meaning of the names.

I was suspicious before. now its confirmed.

Truly sentiments or politics aside in Nigeria/ local parlance when you tell somebody , make you go die does that really means you wish the person to go and die or you telling the person to carry in wahala somewhere else, go siddon or I no care ? Can't we cut the guy some slack (in the voice of President Obama)

A lesson in the form of financing to get your car was given to members of the force some years ( 2004-2006) back in the issue of various brands of Peugeot cars depending on their ranks ( 406 to colonels and above, 307 to majors and lieutenant colonels and 206 to captains lieutenants). They were made to pay by deducting a regular amount from their salaries over a period of 60 months. The amount deducted was not more than guess 32 % of their total monthly gross pay. All those who benefitted from the pilot scheme had finished their payments and life goes on. Infact some had already gooten used to that deduction and planned their lives on the remaining that after the end of loan ( finance) it was like they just had a new salary increase.
So nothing is wrong in financing as long as deductions will not be more than 30% of net take home. Better to have a new car with less expenses in 3-5 years than buy tokunbo and fixing and repairing at least 5 timesin a year. And a bank have some offer on the table for such now and I believe its a good deal, Find out which if interested

May God bless this guy, its better than staying home and doing nothing, besides as he's moving around making money, he can gets more information about where jobs are in his locality and quickly apply for available ones that are of his choice. Better still he can make savings from this to start his own business where he can make useful his university skill training and skill. I wish some lazy proud over nothing cousins of mine down southwest can do this at least for a start rather than be waiting for uncle to send them money for recharge and flexing. HE who wants to have gallons of honey need not mind the sting of bees shit money don't smell life starts from a spermatozoa fusing with an egg both are microscopic.

We live make decisions, execute such sometimes see the result and there's nothing wrong in making amends if mistakes and even progress is made along the line. When two people fight irrespective of who " wins or losses the fight, the two sides are both positively or negatively affected. If we need to progress in this country especially for all sides I think 40 years plus is a good enough time to have learnt and move ahead. Alas this is not happening, in fact the people who are not directly involved with the pains of loosing properties, lives, homes sleep and peace to name a few, I mean those below the 43 years old are the ones most bitter and fanning the embers of hatred and wishing and indeed going back to Egypt!

There 's absolutely nothing wrong in prayers that the old man is propagating now, and there's nowhere in the interview he granted hwe said ONLY prayers can solve Nigeria's problems. For those who cares to think, of late we've been losing some greats in this country, the late Chief O Ojukwu ( pls don't insult if my spelling is wrong) was one of the latest loss. The reason he was alive till that golden years like others before him was for the remotely affected generations from all parts of Nigeria to learn from their immense wealth of knowledge and experience and make good judgments devoid of irresponsible emotions for the good of their clan and the country at large. Somebody tell me what could've happened if the two persona he mentioned had not died ? We are all saying all negatives today due to failure of those that are suppose to represent our interests in all the tiers of governance ditto leadership doing over the past years their hallowed responsibilities and WE HAVE NOT MUSTERED THE COURAGE AND RESPONSIBILITY TO CALL THEM TO ORDER BECAUSE WE ARE MORE OR LESS LIKE THEM.

The interest of the barber, tailor, market women, bricklayers mechanics, traders, spare part sellers, farmers, parents, bus drivers, pure water sellers etc in different parts of the country are all the same along each and individual professions and vocations mentioned. So also is the interest of all politicians in all parts of the country irrespective, it has nothing to do with you and I and as it is it includes using old wounds and bruises to make sure that divisions exists and persists in order to propagate their access to POWER WEALTH RESOURCES AND CONTROL of their locality but not in the overall interest of all. The earlier and quicker ethnic jingoists and all who will sees nothing positive in what the General and other people like him are at the moment saying the better for their own and community good. IT IS VERY WISE TO BE QUICK TO LISTEN BUT SLOW TO RESPOND. God bless all

macof: Grateful for trying to spread confusion

who are those that called "alausa" bearer of Hausa? They must be really bad wit Yoruba.

And this is not about you not sharing my views, I know wat I know, I don't any confused human to confuse me.

Just stop distorting Yoruba names and their meanings

Typical

Good observation, funny what I meant was there some Yoruba elders on FB who could clarify such discussions. Ok ma Yemi Elebu ibon is on fb, Prof Wande Abimbola is another, Lere Paimo amongst others are the elders I meant and referring to.

Haba yaro! how are sure that is not my compound ( family) name ? Now make your research to Ijaye specifically oja ale close to kemta Oke ejigbo area of Ijaye in Abeokuta and find the truth. If that does not convince you then I have nothing to tell you, besides meanings in Yoruba names could be both or either contextual and incidental. Learn friend, if you are hearing something new from what you've always believ don't just dismiss. Same people thought and called alausa as re mi mi mi ( meaning the bearer of Hausa) rather than re mi do mi ( meaning the one seller or owner or the place that has ausa , walnut) Just be grateful someone is showing you something you never knew.
I think you don't understand the import of your choice of word ( distort ) fa ? Just be more civil , I wouldn't mind making contacts clarifications and directing you to elders who could enlighten you. Contact the above mentioned on facebook. Mind you I am not a young man though.

I ve just realize you like putting up your gloves against those that don't share your views, thoughts, opinions or things that you never thought exists thus I leave you to continue your line of thought and disbelieve.

And to answer your question concerning the prefix Ogun, have you heard Ogungbende ( war brought me) Ogungbemi (War helped me, the god of thunder helped me and my inheritance helped me ) spelt the same but different tones. Or the Remi which may be pronounced raimy ( meaning I'm desirous of )or the common known meaning Remi ( comforts or eases me ).

[quote author=macof]Mr I think u are trying to confuse urself

Ade is known as crown in Yoruba language, "Aare" is the highest of crowns which only descendants of Oduduwa can wear. So when this two words appear in a name it means crown not "coming"

"Ogun" in names also refer to Orisha Ogun, what name with "ogun" do u knw that doesn't refer to Orisha Ogun?

I'll rather you appreciate learning a new thing and thinking it through and in this context would have been better if you learn and appreciate something you've never heard before, uncommonly known and brought to the fore, make a research rather than dismissing illogically and be insulting , a trait uncommon with non Yorubas. It profits me and nobody nothing bringing something false up especially when it comes to my culture, I used to think like you do concerning the Ade- and Ogun- until I listened to an interview on NTA with either Chief Yemi Elebuibon or someone else whom I cannot really remember now, this was like 12 years back and I confirmed from it from someone in his 90s then who happened to be from a royal family. Yoruba language culture proverbs and indeed names are highly logical in meaning and interpretations and be informed that Yorubas do name logically meaningfully bearing in mind not one but multiple considerations, so my friend learn and be more omoluabiish. One becomes frozen when the heart is not open.

A very good compilation , I must really commend you the OP for a well done job. I 'll also like to raise observation concerning the prefix "Ade-" to other names which was translated to only mean crown. The truth is Ade does not only connotes crown in names as most bearers aren't nort directly sons or daughters of princes or princesses, who generally in the old times uses that prefix,but in most cases it means 'the coming or arrival of" in Yoruba names. Thus something like Adegbuyi could mean the arrival or coming of this is famous or The crown is famous. Adekunle may either mean the house is full of crown or the arrival of this one completes or fills the house. Same as goes for the prefix Ogun- which may either be The god of iron or war or twenty ( twenties) or inheritance to mention a few but the four are only relevant for names.
Keep the culture going guys.

There's no discrimination here, it's just consideration on the part of the manager and it is founded. The fact that team mates saw him doing something different and he's was set aside or talked about is neither abnormal, same thing he and fellow muslims i'll do to non muslim s in societies that have them in the majority ( likewise the traditionalists atheist seculiars and Christians ) so the victim thing should be downplayed in this kind of situation, unless the 5 cardinals of Islam are denied a Muslim from observing them. In fact Saudi is too far, just wear Iro and buba with head gear , skirt even below the knee, or a tee-shirt on anything without a veil in where is termed Kano city and you'll see at any point in time nothing less than 200 eyes looking at you, mouths insulting you and fingers pointing at you.

A Muslim once posted saying that Muslims are to concentrate on things that are within their personal power to do about the practice of the religion rather than playing victim on issues that are Yes about their religion but May not in anyway affect spirituality especially when it may conflicts with the rules and regulations of an entirely non Muslim organizations. Workplace, Public television / radio broadcasts, schools, roads, markets, hospitals, houses. For example, NYSC, military, it is wrong to un officially and forcefully introduce a veil on the uniforms in those organization just because you are practicing Muslim, put on the uniform in the proper prescribed way at the official period and after that put on the hijab or veil or what ever you like afterwards. Put pushing your thing through such organization is forcing religion down peoples throat even if they are not practicing.

bukatyne: Please stop making Muslims look like victims and I do not understand if every non-muslim is a Christian.

I also do not know the correlation between lucifer and Christians.

No, Muslims and Christians do not believe in the same Jesus.

Except you have a different story than the OP, I do not see where his manager has discriminated against him. His peers treat him different as they would treat any one different from them. Discriminating or denying him his rights would mean stopping him from reading his Quran or observing his prayers. He even stops a beard so he is quite free to be who he wants yo be.

Once again, stop thinking that everyone is witch-hunting Muslims. A woman without hijab in Saudi would also be gossiped about, punished and humiliated.

Ol boy or girl, you are not a Muslim so your not knowing the significance both spiritually or otherwise of celebrating sallah as a Muslim is not utta place . If you ask with a sincere intension to know, then you'll know and appreciate the reason as given to them by their religion. But I guess that you don't want to know but you are asked with the intension of criticizing like the pHarises asked Jesus about sign and he made them realize that no sign will be given you unless you want to study and the clue is what happened to Noah ( meaning the answer is there for you to know if you really wanna know and not to fault).

To the Muslims here I rejoice with you as you are thanking God in your own way for another year and the significance of the happenings to father Abraham ( Ibrahim ) in his expression of plain unalloyed faith in God Shallom.

Judek2: Fighting is your solution to everything.. Don't quote me just because you want to, its better you keep shut If you couldn't answer sensibly.

First of all, the Chicken we kill on xmas doesn't have any significance in the Bible, nobody killed any thing, its just something for cerebration.

My question is simple, people celebrate occasions that has significance in their lives, but here, I don't seem to find any significance and importance of this thing.. I'm not condemning any religion, I'm just asking questions..

Kerosene stove if regularly cleaned and set to ensure that the flame is not less than 99% blue if not 100% ( possible if tried) is more economical depending also on the size of the stove against the size of the cooking pot used. However when set to produce yellow flame, its use become in efficient smelly sooty and ultimately uneconomical. Gas is more convenient though.

How would I have ?

eaglechild: Do you realise you haven't made any point?

I am not surprised at what you said, you just confirmed what I wrote that saying resident doctors carry out all surgeries and run all medical things is an indictment on the consultants who are supposed to be doing their job but leaving it to the residents.

Secondly saying badbelle blah blah does not hold water with me, you need to know the number of doctors that consult me for advise on a daily basis and how many of them we rub minds together and produce constructive solutions to patients therapeutic needs and FYI Ive endorsed not a few doctors training ( residency) some of which are consultants today. So it is ignorance on your side to refer to something you don't know sorry I am of a noble upbringing I don't insult people just like that.

You see it is not seeing the bigger picture on the part of doctors on the whole that is causing a lot of problem the whole thing is just boiling down to WE ARE THE LEADERS AND WE MUST HAVE THE LION SHARE goo but is it not same that boomerang and what we are seeing today. A lot of them cannot secure government jobs which they rightly deserve or are in not good paying jobs these days because health budget has been stretched due to continuous demands for pay rise which govt had been obliging partially but all these to the detriment of PROVISION OF FACILITIES and |DEVLOPMENT OF OTHER ASPECTS OF HEALTHCARE which is not solely medicare. And you are here insulting my person talking of one bad belle blah blah blah . That confirms the general thinking of an average doctor that anything from anybody that is contrary both in therapeutic, administrative, political decisions even if it has merits justiciable and equitable is an affront on must be regarded as a benign cancer that must be excised without proper histological laboratory and imaging evaluation.

I was really sad seeing a doctor bargaining for peanuts with a private hospital because he cannot get a decent job or space for his residency as the overall cost for maintaining a resident in Th is high. Same thing is happening with houseman ship. Bargaining should be done looking at the immediate ( ejaculatory needs ) but bearing in mind the long time effects on the profession and system.

Being a "leader" does not mean you know all about the system in fact your natural biases will tend to reduce the overall effectiveness of the team ( if there's any in Nigerian health sector) or system as it is really obvious in what we are having today. However you know when to take the counsel and let others do their job and what naturally comes to them it is not about lording it on people. Being the leader means the active starting point in patient healthcare where all inputs from all other professions tilts its various activities and not the focus point to which all other inputs aggregates. Although the leadership issue is not what is being discussed here but if the medical doctor will look at things in that direction then the leadership which they are really fighting everybody to maintain will NATURALLY Be theirs but at the moment it is still tussles and fights and patients and the whole system including doctors suffers. Last words strikes now are lame, insulting to the callibre of the profession, no more the in thing it is already dejavu approach. it is meant for area boys and militants but constructive arguments, strategic thinking, high professional/ intellectual conduct, and celestial advocacy is what works and is required from them and in fact all profesionals ASUU inclusive.

dhtml: @KDULAR, Either you are an ignorant person or you do not know what resident doctors actually do (or you are one of those badbelle health workers that is competing with doctors who are the leaders of the health-team whether you like it or not). Do you think teaching hospitals can run without resident doctors.
Aside training, do you realize that resident doctors virtually run all the THs and carry out most of the surgeries and all that?

END TIME TINZ

Sentiments aside, what is the rationale for paying resident doctors salaries when they are students ( PG) ? If you say they are the ones working on the patients more than the consultants is baseless, its even an indictment on these consultants that they don't work for their pay.

The fact that an abnormality had being in existence and is already institutionalized does not make it proper. Rather than insult someone who make a statement here, come forward convincingly with your argument.

There's no way you train for anything without practicing it so seeing patient is part of the learning. Infact the hospitals, the residents ( doctors, lab, pharmacists nurses etc) and their consultants are infact supposed to pay the patients for the use of their body as learning and teaching tools. Mind you some will come out to say it's only doctors that are residents, that is a lie peddled by their profession in order to make it seem they are the only ones that can do something and are supposed to take care of patients now use the CMDs to truncate other professions from having their residencies conducted in THs.

How many residents students of other health profession are recognized or allowed to train or even paid for their training? Yet they are in the TH working and contributing immensely to patients therapy, even when efforts are made to these patients deprived of their expertise by the CMD run THs yet they continue to do their jobs.

With all these strikes especially from the "noble" people I ask the difference between them and an average area boy or hyena who'll use all unintelligible means brute intimidation blackmail and noise as the case may be to get what he thinks he deserves but doesn't really.

The comparison with politicianspay really shows how disappointed they are to their high reasoning, you can never win any case with that line any where in the world. This also shows the driving force behind all these strikes mere Jealousy, an average doctor becomes easily intimidated when he sees another person of other profession vocation or business looking, sounding, smelling reasoning, and having better influence than him. It is inbuilt and the reason why these strikes will still occur 5 years from now even if government gives them all I mean All what they are agitating for now.

In all the strike is mindless and and the demands are just wrong.

I am now convinced that things are not going down well in the future in this country, political gain or not, appointment letter by e-mail, hard copy, fax, mouth or not, the bottom line is, a police commissioner regarding gathering by legitimate govt illegal and dispersing the crowd. Now we know that brute rules and this is what is synonymous with militants , area boys and some illetrate vigilantes. The police commissioner NEEDS to be put in line.

All this above insults and expression of childishness is un called for. Like when you become a professional and starts encountering some clinical issues, you'll discover that pharmacology has not much to contribute in clinical settings but all aspects of pharmacy training, thus the boast of who knows pharmacology doesn't count.
The first introduction of B. Pharm in Nigeria I think was in 1989 in UNIBEN, prior to which there was BSc pharmacy. In a space of less than 20 years, we are now having Pharm D in some schools that is a positive. The B. Pharm degree is a bridge between highly product oriented BSc Pharmacy and clinical oriented PharmD. Be that as it may, for those who are feeling that Pharm D is all what you need now, it is not so . You may Go for the traditional B.pharm if you are thinking of hanging on to other aspects of pharmacy but for you to be more effective in the clinical setting, you've got to have Pharm D. Clinical setting is not all that pharmacy is about.

This is a profession that every other person both in health care and non healthcare sector ( Doctors nurses, lab, politicians, businessmen, Ikechukwu , Danjuma, Kayode, Tesoo,Akpan) wants to pract5ice simply because of its uniqueness, realness, and lucrativeness. . That all efforts by members of the profwession to sanitize it has been met with great opposition even by the FMH of FGN because the heads of these ministries are too scared to; see some relevance taken away from their profession and economic advancement of the legal and rightful practitioners of the profession

Most hospitals in Nigeria if not all does not have even the minimum number of pharmacist to run the lowest acceptable standard of pharmaceutical care. Most hospital management does not even want pharmaceutical services to be rendered, they 'll rather want to be content with whoever is in the dispensary or pharmacy to "just hand " over drugs to patient after being able to read and count the number of drugs prescribed by the medical officer. The quality of services rendered is not in their concern. Imagine a clinic with 6 doctors 15 nurses , and 1 pharmacist amongst other health professionals. If the 3 patient are to arrive at the pharmacy the same time, and evry 10-15 minutes, each of those doctors are releasing a patient, someone tell me how even a watery pharmacy service could be rendered. When building hospital even new ones, there are no professional imput by the pharmacist on how the dispensary is to be and be situated in relation to services to be rendered. But in all this an average pharmacist has been trying what he/ she could to getb the job done like men of honour they are they discharge their duties even in the face of professional , administrative and financial strangulations by those who administers hospitals.

It is wrong unless fellow commuters give their unanimous consent

That obviouslyt is not a pharmnacy but a patent medicine store masquerading as a pharmacy obviously being ran by a quack, encouraged by the system that would not care about maintaining minimum standards and a populace that will be quick to shout ethnic cleansing coupled with giving lame excuse that closing and or regulating that business will deny the livelihood of the common man "

Ziggyzito: That pharmacy has just condoms filled in it.

caseless: 2face and chamillionaire are notherners.
Psquare are more of notherners; born and brought up in d north.
I even heard d'banj spent some of life in zaria(born there).
So what ar u saying?

Chamillionare is from Ibadan ( father is a native of Ibadan ). He even spoke Yoruba in one of song Creeping on the low low where he said ' Say in Spanish In Japaneseis like Sainaro African is gonna say O dabo I'll be here when you gone tomorrow". Idibia is an Idoma middle belter and Psquare are squarely Igbotenics. Don't need this.Really I thought Sade should have been up in 1. Like someone said earlier since the middle 80's she's been consistent with 2 albums per decade and each time its platinum all the way. Besides she has a regular fan base I think that cut across demographs. A good listthough. Kudos
