To Buhari and his people, Abacha did not steal so we are not surprised in the change.

Buahri and his people are Thieves Protecting Thieves (TPT)

Confirmedzombie:
Read the post well before you comment. The chinesse Doctors are helping our doctors in capacity building. They are not treating any patient.

Nothing can ever satisfy you people. Always thinking negative things.

Hate will kee you people.

According to Lai

“The Chinese are doing well, they all tested negative for coronavirus. As to what they are doing right now, they are busy working at our isolation centres, putting together and setting up their equipment they brought,” he said.

Since they are not coming to treat covid patients, so we now need China to set up equipment in Nigeria. Nigerian Engineers are not capable of assembling equipment, we had to bring in about 14 Chinese doctors to do it. Maybe the equipment does not have installation and operating manuals. This means they would have to stay in Nigeria for a very long time because they will have to maintain the equipment and operate it. Who is incurring these cost? What is the big deal about what they are doing sef?

How are they helping our doctors in capacity building? Probably teaching them how to use the equipment or medicine since Nigerian doctors went to school road instead of medical school

For how long will an independent nation like Nigeria continue to look this pitiable in everything?

How are we sure these guys are even doctors? because they told Nigeria so? Before you know it now, they will leave there and move into villages to start mining gold and other natural resources illegally. Nigeria no just wan get sense

Years after Buhari must have left power, this same Femi Adesina will be the one to tell the world how Buhari is an olodo. He will be the one to betray him. Mark my words today.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Buhari and him people no go kee person with laugh

Danielhouston:
Let’s talk about Ticket Inspector, we call them “controllers”. They are the people that check your ticket in the train and catch those traveling without a valid ticket.

They’re mostly Turkish and Arab. It’s like a game and everybody hates them. They’re part of the Berlin culture, so much that Berliners have devised ways to fish them out and avoid them. They change tactics every time. They mostly wear black jackets. Just look out for that mean looking Turkish/Arab dude with a black jacket and swollen pocket (that’s where they hide their scanner).

They are usually 2 people in one section of the train and come in from opposite doors. The moment the train door closes and you hear “Farschein bitte”, everybody’s heart starts to beat. They’re also very wicked and rude. But Berliners challenge them all the time. If you don’t have a ticket or have an invalid ticket, they escort you out of the train, take your information and fine you.

Fine for riding without a ticket is €60. If they catch you up to 3 times in a year, they can take you to court (or so they say, but it’s bullsh..) You’ll see the foreigners speaking English and pretending not to understand what they’re saying. Some will tell lies that they’re tourists and don’t know the law.
You can lie your way through if you’re good. Sometimes you argue until they get tired and leave you. Sometimes some people zoom off in full speed as soon as they step out of the train. They won’t chase you.

Berliners also help each other. Someone with a ticket can carry one person with their ticket from 8:00 pm everyday and all day in the weekend. So when a ticket inspector is in the train, if your neighbor sees you don’t have a ticket, they can cover for you with their ticket.

Some people with ticket also devised a means to help others. They delay the inspectors by pretending to search for their ticket. They waste time until the train gets to the next stop and people can escape. It’s a funny situation but also wild. I love Berlin.

Dem no dey collect bribe

Danielhouston:
Tribalism and racism can both have the same effect. The only difference is that racism is worse and here’s why....

A Yoruba person may not like igbos and deny them opportunities, while giving it to his own person. But igbos also have the power to fight back and create their own. One group is not superior to the other. They will keep fighting and there’ll be no winner.

A white person or white people have the economic, institutional, financial power to control other races. The white race is also more in number than any other race. That is why they were the slave owners. They control the world. Their passport holds more power, so does their currency. A white person can live in Nigeria and not have papers, yet own companies. But a Nigerian has to pay €10,000 into a blocked account just to get a visa to study. Can a Yoruba do that to the Igbos?

If I go to a Yoruba shop to buy food and they don’t sell to me, I go to another shop. If I go to Germany and they deny me because of I’m black, I go to Spain, the same, France, UK, Canada, where will I go? And those are the profitable places that have the power to make my life better.

You also may not know which part of Nigeria someone is from until they speak or tell you. Hence they can easily escape tribalism. But being black is obvious. They can see color. You don’t have to say anything. Seeing you alone already disqualifies you. Which means your existence is a problem to some people. You can be bilingual and escape tribalism. Even if you’re mixed race, you still face racism.

However they can both have similar psychological and physical effects on someone. Tribalism and racism can both get you killed. Except that racism is on a broader spectrum that affects you based on your skin color.

Daniel, you are doing a good job. I agree with everything you said except where you say racism is worse than tribalism.

In tribalism, people of the same color, same country even similar cultures hate and discriminate against each other based on the fact they speak different language only.

In racism, people of different color, different country, different language and different cultures discriminate against others. Now look at the gap here. Everything is different, now compare it with tribalism where everything is the same except language.

If people in the same country can hate each other so much, what is the big deal in racism? Having experienced conc tribalism in Nigeria,As someone living abroad, i don't expect love from whites by default. If you are nice, good and fine. Ironically, i have not experienced racism yet

One thing i have noticed about racism abroad is that the chances of racists temporarily shunning racism to embrace the one the hate when you show you have something to offer is high. In tribalism, even if you like be the only solution to the problem, as long as your name is okoro or Ayodele etc, you can never get the chance to offer your solution, they would rather die.

Look at Obama for instance. He is black, his name is not Jones, Smith etc but a Kenyan native name. However, when the chips are down, in a country of paltry 12% black, he won an election beating his white challenger because he is the better candidate. Obama will never win an election in Osun state for instance as an igbo man or win an election in Abia state as a yoruba man. It does not matter if he was born and bread in Osun or Abia, speaks the language fluently or the most qualified to rescue the state, he will not get support.

There are lots of Nigerians abroad that have broken the barrier of racism by merit because they offer value more than their white host. They whites had no choice than to swallow their racism. They won elections even when they are minority, they head top organisations bossing the whites even with their tribal names etc
See, even you who have faced racism in Germany stand a better chance of leading a top organisation in Germany or winning an election in Germany when the chips are down more than you winning an election outside your tribe in Nigeria no matter how qualified and capable you are.

Bros, if you want to see how rugged tribalism is, just peep into nairaland politics section. I no say make you stay there for long ooo otherwise you won't know when you will join them and become one tribalists, Lol. The hate oozing out from our fellow country men fit boil beans. Racism dey learn work.

leo2020:
Nations who harbor Abacha's loot for over 22years are more corrupt and lack moral standing to instruct on how to spend the returned loot

You should be grateful that they returned it. If it were to be Nigeria, they would deny that there was a loot not to talk of returning it to the owner.

They had 4 weeks of lockdown to put things in place yet ......

Wasted Lockdown

kponkedenge:
Nigeria had every chance not to have a single case from this virus, but the carelessness of the FG has brought us to this situation.

It is really a shame that not even one person could advice the dunce of a president early on to shut the borders, seaport and airport when we were still having only one case which was from that Italian.

One of the greatest problems in this part of the world is eye service. Who will advice the dunce of the president? they ones who are licking his ass to be in his good books? In this part of the world, the president never hears the truth because there is nobody to tell him. So the president will only hear that his is the best thing after slice bread from his advisers.

For example, imagine that the nairaland dead meat seller is buhari's adviser, do you think he will ever tell buhari the truth of any situation?

Is it not buhari again, why will anyone be surprised?

don4real18:
Oga, you are too serious. I'm sure you don't engage in pre-intimacy with your woman. Didn't you see the smiley on my statement?

Lol

hahahahahahahahaha.

No vex, wetin we dey read for nairaland these days na waa. I'm becoming allergic to stupid talks these days

rationalhuman:
Just one addition, That was Phase one trail of Oxford University Lab, (There are five countries Australia, Britain, Germany, India, Canada involved in that project) a combined effort of all.

Other then that there are two Pharmaceutical manufacturing companies also going ahead with their own Phase 2 Trail , They assured Indian public of very high possibility of vaccine by max Jan 2021, while another November this year, we can just hope that they will be successful so once they roll that in India withing weeks it will be here too.

Thanks for the update

don4real18:
From monkeys to Africans. That's the usual trend

We Africans are always hyperactive on issues we tend not to understand properly.

Human trial of vaccines are based on volunteering. At the last count, there have been up to 5 different vaccines on coro that have started human trial all over the world and guess what? the humans are not Africans. Nobody will ever force anyone to take a trial vaccine, people volunteer for it anywhere in the world. In fact, a US drug maker, some weeks ago got about 1500 volunteers for human trial under 24 hours of announcing a vaccine trial in the US.
The human trial for a vaccine in the UK was given to volunteers in the UK.

Vaccines are tested where the problem exists and that is why they are not coming to Africa to test coro vaccines because coro is everywhere. You cannot test vaccines where they problem does not exist otherwise how would you know it works?. If the problem was localized in Africa, the only place to test the vaccine would have been Africa. For example, as at the time ebola was happening in some countries in Africa, how would a vaccine developer test a vaccine in Europe where there is no ebola? If Africans start developing their own vaccines, there would not be any need for the white man to come test their vaccines in Africa because we will do the trials on ourselves with our own drugs.

When we migrated abroad, the school board checked the vaccine record for our children and told us to get our children to get 2 additional vaccines. These new vaccines they told us to get was not given to children in Nigeria because the disease they were meant to protect against does not exist in Nigeria. Do you think they came to Africa to test this particular vaccine?

We need to open our minds in Africa and develop our own solutions instead of thinking about people trying to kill us

For the benefit of people who did not understand what they read.

As per this news, India is not producing any new vaccine rather they are producing the same Oxford university vaccine that just passed the first trial on monkeys as reported yesterday. Any successful vaccine from any country in the world will likely need India to scale up the production because India has the world's highest drug production capacity in the world.

Putting it in context, they way foreign companies design a product and send to China to produce is the way drug makers will develop a vaccine and send to India to produce because India has the largest capacity in that regards more than any other country in the world. This is not to say that India does not develop their own vaccines like China develop their own products too.

Normally. vaccine production will start when the last clinical trial is passed but this Indian manufacturers partnering with oxford university vaccine developer has taken a bet and risk to start mass producing it gradually now pending when the final clinical trial and result will be available and certified.

So what it means is that if by September, this vaccine has been proven to work after all the clinical trials, they would have had some millions of dosses already produced and available immediately to begin giving people in September rather than starting the production by that time. If it fails final clinical trial, it will become a loss. They have just put their money on the line to start producing before a trial is concluded and we hope the gamble will pay off, it would be an advantage to the world

Nairalandmonika:
The level of illiteracy in this country is very high. The guy might be a first class graduate from one Nigeria university.

In my class Whatsapp group I seem to be the black sheep there, because I tried to educate them on almost everything. On how 5g is not the cause of coronavirus or how vaccine is not harmful. Even our best student is just as dumb as the rest. Funny enough of all us dey claim electrical electronics engineer. It's really sad. The one even championing the 5g conspiracy in our group major in electronics and telecommunication.

You are right.

My greatest worry about Nigeria is that our institutions seem to be producing and army of educated illiterates whose views and thought process are not different from an uneducated okada man who spends his evening in the beer parlor. If these category of people who should be the nation's hope of developing solutions from within are no different from illiterates, how then are we going to ever develop in this part of the world? This is worrisome.

Nairalandmonika:
U need to get yourself educated.
Am pretty sure when u were much younger, u were given vaccines to prevent u from various disease. U can't deny that u weren't given any form of vaccine, so how come u are not dead or sterile?

No mind the idiots.

There is nothing as stupid as people who contribute nothing to mankind but make useless assertions

Provide an alternative local solution to solve the local problems, NO WAY
Appreciate other people's effort to provide solution for you, NO WAY

The only thing they know how to do is to peddle stupid conspiracy theories and bad mouth others. I was asking one idiot yesterday who produced the BCG, measles and other vaccines he was given as a child and the vaccines his children are given today, he had no answer yet na dem get bad mouth pass

RaptorX:
I would refuse the vaccines 10 times over, I pity Africans that are going to take this eugenists vaccines.

You are talking as if the outside world gives a damn about you or as if they outside world will loose sleep over your refusal to take a vaccine.

It is no surprising that people who don't have anything to offer make the loudest noise, na dem get bad mouth pass.

Your comment would have been sweet if you had an option that is made for Africa by Africans. As we speak, out of about 100 vaccines in development, none is coming from the whole of African labs. The question is what is the exit strategy for Africans as regards this pandemic? Is it that the virus will disappear on its own? What if it doesn't? How do we come out of it without vaccine?

You don't have to worry yourself about Africans getting the vaccine because with they way things are at the moment, countries with money and technology will hoard any working vaccine for their population first before remembering if Africa exists. So naturally, it is expected that Africa will be the last to get any working vaccine.

China is 1.4 billion people and this means they would have to secure 1.4 billion dosses and reserve of any working vaccine for their people first before selling to highest bidders if they are first to get a vaccine. The US is 350m people, Europe is more than 350m people. Whoever gets the vaccine first will have to take care of their country first and their continent so at the end, there is a possibility that the vaccine no go reach Africa sef. So this fear you guys are showing for White man vaccine is not even necessary.

Thieves

My brother, my advice is that if you can't move to any country in western Europe or North America, just stay back and manage Nigeria like that.

Even though Naija's fuckup is unquantifiable, it is still better than some of these African countries especially for a Nigerian

It is absolute bullshit to move from one shithole to another shithole or mini shithole.

This lock down situation seems to have even provided more fertile ground for the virus to circulate than in normal times.

The only saving grace for Nigeria is that for what ever reason, this virus appears to have very minimal effect in Nigeria than the rest of the world which is a good thing

This lockdown is just useless

GenBuhari:
OP there is no proof that patient was denied because she is black.

If the hospital is unable to attend to you for whatever reason, they may turn you away.

Now, if the writer had seen that other pregnant women seeking same care, were admitted, then a case of discrimination could be made.

Chinese are not our enemy, they have proven to be true development partners of African nations over the last 25 years.

Like play like play Africa is entering another round of slavery and colonization. Whites have done their own, China is now doing their own.

From your comment, it means we should not question China because of the cheap loans we are getting from China. Otherwise, how could you have dismissed and downplayed the situation and go to the extent of crafting an excuse for the hospital even without an independent investigation.
But then your reaction is exactly how the government will react. In fact, i am expecting that the Nigerian government will even blame Nigerians than investigating the issue. To be fair, how can an rat confront a lion?

China or any other country in the world is neither our friend nor enemy. For every country in the world, it is all self interest and i would not blame any country for that including China. If you do not want to be wise, smart countries will take advantage of you and it is a fair game. China's presence in Africa is because they are gaining massively from it not because they are your friends or they love you. The day China does not gain anything from Africa, they will turn their back. It is business

Is China helping Africa or helping themselves? Both. In fact, in a way they gain more. They give you loan for a project, they use their companies, their raw materials and more than half of their labor to execute it. By doing so, the bulk of the money remains in China while you become indebted to them plus the interest on the loans. So who gains more? Since they built it, they will build it in such a way that you will always rely on them for maintenance, more money for them.

It would have been good if Africans get these Chinese loans and use it on local contractors, they money would have had multiplier effect on the economy but this is not the case. This is why all the loans Africa has been getting from China has not had any effect in local economies because the bulk of the money goes back to China indirectly. Yes, you could argue that the Chinese model is better after all the loans Africans collected from the west ended up in the politicians private accounts without the infrastructures. LOL .

Development is not just about being railways and roads by foreigners, it is about developing a local capacity to solve problems and this is the only time loans will make sense in Africa. This is the only way to maximize the loans, else others like the Chinese will be using us to enrich themselves in the guise of helping us

Africa does not need anybody. We don't need the US, China, Europe or anyone, we need Africa. We can't keep licking asses of world powers. First, it was the west, now it is China. We too can be world or at least regional power and have others lick our ass. If a Chinese man poo in Aso rock today, i'm very sure Nigerian govt will say he is pooing fried rice rather than confronting him and this is because we are not independent. How I wish Nigeria and other African countries will rise up and make us proud for the first time in our lives.

Pure lie

China wants to turn the situation around. I hope the FG will not take this shit at face value. They should demand an independent investigation. Instead of China to apologize and make amends, they are trying to turn it around

Why is it that everything in Nigeria follows an absurd pattern when compared to the rest of the world?

When i was still in the game of women, every vagina always look to me like a potential risk and for this reason, i never put my great chairman raw inside it. No matter how clean and responsible the girl seem to be, i never inserted raw, i love my life. I know how many times my chairman went flat because i couldn't find a condom and i refused to do it raw.

It amazes me how boys of these days are comfortable inserting their thing raw like that. It looks to me like some people do not place value on their lives.

DonMustafa:
How about someone like Akinwumi Adesina? Must nepotism be number 1 n Nigeria?

Akinwumi Adesina is a proven administrator. He would do better than all those people listed up there

You want Adeshina to go and rubbish himself there? No matter how good you are, once you step into buhari's cabinet, you go turn to mumu.
So it is best for intelligent people to steer clear of his administration.

Simplyleo:
Human beings who have held reasonable positions of substance in the affairs of this country at one time or the other have commiserated on the death of COS to the president.
Gej
Atiku
FFK
Reno and a host of others too numerous to mention.

The useless inconsequential rants and curses of little things like ipob e-rats behind social media are of no meaning.

To console their wacked perennial upbringing of hate anger and perdition, the useless rats say "majority of Nigerians" instead stating the reality "ipob miscreants". One of the rats is even saying Buhari is the next. Even if Buhari drop dead today, he has lived a life many NIGERIANS pray for, which may not be possible.

RIP sir, Abba Kyari, and may God grant your family, friends and loved ones the fortitude to bear the loss.

Guy, do you ever have anything in your brain about from ipob?
I am begining to think you are working for ipob otherwise how would someone keep mentioning ipob every time even when others have forgotten they exist? Is your life dependent on ipob?

He should have known better

In a country where truth is almost forbidden, he should have joined others to sing his praises even though they think otherwise in their minds.

That is what it is to be a Nigerian.

Next time,he should be wise

ODB2:
As I said, educated illiterate.

The IMF is not in the business of charity. They exist to wage financial war on Nation states. They are an arm of the Globalist movement towards ushering the New World Order.

At the end these banana republics will become taken over by the IMF.

They will do what the IMF tells them to do or there will be no money.

By the way, the World Bank and IMF are partners with the Bill Gates Foundation, GAVI and Rockerfella Foundation.

NOI sits on all three Foundations and has worked in the World Bank until her rescent appointment at the IMF which Bill Gates was instrumental in naming her.

She will be ushering out policies that will mandate ID2020 vaccine program in return for IMF ''BAIL OUTS''.


That's the plan but you are too engrossed with your myopic frog-in-water state not to be able to piece information to arrive at the mosaic.

Why not go and develop your own vaccine for Nigeria so that we will not accept their own vaccine. We will gladly accept your own vaccine instead of the "New world order" vaccine.
Other countries are in the lab researching on how to get a working vaccine, you and your likes will not go to the lab and develop your own, na only bad mouth una get.
I don't know why illiterates make the loudest noise.

Lol

Explorer, you got a rival here.

Nice gesture by the way

IpobAntidote:
the only one showing ignorance is you here. The ac is what the congress passed to enable the IRS to give out this money we are talking about and loans to big and small businesses who have paid TAXES to the govt.
To take this further, the Cruise industry is exempted from benefiting from the CARES act simply because most of them are registered in other countries in order to avoid paying taxes to the US govt. Not sure if your ingnoramus dumb ass knows that. Go back and do more research before cominf here to show your dotard self.

Guy, people have insulted you a lot here and i think you deserved it.

You are insulting an average Nigerian who is going through a lot to survive in Nigeria.

Do you know that the average Nigerian is likely to have paid more taxes than their oyibo counterparts?

The bus driver who drives from Ojota to Mile 2 and keep paying N20 at every bustop to NURTW and their gangs, is that one not bigger than tax?

What of the market woman who pays shop permit, environmental levy, sanitation fee and other nonsense fees to local govt, state govt etc, is that one not bigger than tax?

what of the keke drivers and bus drivers that pays N20-N50 at every check point to the police, is that one not more than tax?

I can give you lots of example of informal taxes paid by Nigerians

Is it the fault of the citizens that the useless government cannot collect taxes intelligently and efficiently like other countries?

You people think you are doing others by supporting nonsense but i put it to you that you are doing yourselves too as the effect of these bulshits will reach you all directly or indirectly

what is the need sef?

They should say they would pay for 2 months darkness

Corrinthians:
Superb. We earnestly hope they put in their very beat to stem the tide just as they would if Nigeria was their home country.

God bless Nigeria.

No vex, how would they do that?
