You lie,I can stop it

That said I agree with every other thing you wrote,especially about Efe costing us the first goal,and Efe and Musa being the culprits for the second.

Oya come collect ya prize for a good post

St.Ola:


Tinubu quit as Treasurer of Mobil Nigeria Limited(Downstream Products Marketing) and not Mobil Producing(Upstream Exploration), to run for the senatorial seat of Lagos West(Ikeja Alimosho Agege Ipaja Ifako-Ijaiye)which he occupied from 1991 to 1993 when Abacha seized power. So as at post 1993, he was in no way still under the services of the Nigerian Mobil PLC, talkless of the global ExxonMobil.

baby_123: hmm, this can backfire. Some people will keep having kids to take advantage of government generosity. Besides, anything fully done by government in Nigeria, never works. They need to focus on spreading the idea of family planning like some years ago. Aggressive campaigns by doctors and advertisements by government agencies in every way possible is very necessary.

Originalsly: Sounds nice...but what's good for Finland doesn't mean it's good for Nigeria.It's freezing cold for nearly half the year in Finland...would the baby of a poor mother stand a good chance to survive? Finland has a population problem...they hardly make babies and the majority of its citizens are middle aged and older.They are basically encouraging the young people to have children. Nigeria has a majority pretty young population and growing...infact there is a need to slow down the youths from bringing forth more children. Then...the Finns pay hefty taxes to support their social programs...do I have to say more? One man's meat is another man's poison.

ichidodo: Well it wasnt the F.G that got them into that state, so i dont see why govt should be involved except provision of quality maternal healthcare service delivery system, security, housing and what not.

Why Finnish babies sleep in cardboard boxes
By Helena Lee BBC News

For 75 years, Finland's expectant mothers have been given a box by the state. It's like a starter kit of clothes, sheets and toys that can even be used as a bed. And some say it helped Finland achieve one of the world's lowest infant mortality rates.
It's a tradition that dates back to the 1930s and it's designed to give all children in Finland, no matter what background they're from, an equal start in life.
The maternity package - a gift from the government - is available to all expectant mothers.
It contains bodysuits, a sleeping bag, outdoor gear, bathing products for the baby, as well as nappies, bedding and a small mattress.
With the mattress in the bottom, the box becomes a baby's first bed. Many children, from all social backgrounds, have their first naps within the safety of the box's four cardboard walls.

Mothers have a choice between taking the box, or a cash grant, currently set at 140 euros, but 95% opt for the box as it's worth much more.
The tradition dates back to 1938. To begin with, the scheme was only available to families on low incomes, but that changed in 1949.
"Not only was it offered to all mothers-to-be but new legislation meant in order to get the grant, or maternity box, they had to visit a doctor or municipal pre-natal clinic before their fourth month of pregnancy," says Heidi Liesivesi, who works at Kela - the Social Insurance Institution of Finland.
So the box provided mothers with what they needed to look after their baby, but it also helped steer pregnant women into the arms of the doctors and nurses of Finland's nascent welfare state.
In the 1930s Finland was a poor country and infant mortality was high - 65 out of 1,000 babies died. But the figures improved rapidly in the decades that followed.
Mika Gissler, a professor at the National Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki, gives several reasons for this - the maternity box and pre-natal care for all women in the 1940s, followed in the 60s by a national health insurance system and the central hospital network.
Contents of the box

· Mattress, mattress cover, undersheet, duvet cover, blanket, sleeping bag/quilt
· Box itself doubles as a crib
· Snowsuit, hat, insulated mittens and booties
· Light hooded suit and knitted overalls
· Socks and mittens, knitted hat and balaclava
· Bodysuits, romper suits and leggings in unisex colours and patterns
· Hooded bath towel, nail scissors, hairbrush, toothbrush, bath thermometer, nappy cream, wash cloth
· Cloth nappy set and muslin squares
· Picture book and teething toy
· Bra pads, condoms

Encouraging good parenting has been part of the maternity box policy all along.
"Babies used to sleep in the same bed as their parents and it was recommended that they stop," says Panu Pulma, professor in Finnish and Nordic History at the University of Helsinki. "Including the box as a bed meant people started to let their babies sleep separately from them."

At a certain point, baby bottles and dummies were removed to promote breastfeeding.
"One of the main goals of the whole system was to get women to breastfeed more," Pulma says. And, he adds, "It's happened."
He also thinks including a picture book has had a positive effect, encouraging children to handle books, and, one day, to read.
And in addition to all this, Pulma says, the box is a symbol. A symbol of the idea of equality, and of the importance of children.

maclatunji:

Quite simple, his arguments find favour with you for reasons best known to you. However, that does not make them factual.

So far, we have little or no evidence that the Fulani in Nasarawa grazed their cattle on Ombatse farmlands. However, what we do know is that the governor of Nasarawa proscribed Ombatse earlier this year and took steps to arrest their leader because of their Boko Haram-like modus operandi. The police tried to arrest their leader and got ambushed leaving scores of them dead.

maclatunji:

The Nasarawa state governor immediately flew to Abuja to report to the Vice President, GEJ was in South Africa.

maclatunji:
On Delta state, it is laughable to seek to use tactics of a state where Fulani herdsmen are in serious minority for a state like Nasarawa where their population is much larger. Besides, Fulani do not recognise boundaries. The federal government has to intervene.

maclatunji:
Fulani do not integrate with even Hausas, they have their distinct language and social structure, they are loyal to their chiefs.

maclatunji:
Hence, your 'Yoruba Muslim' argument is irrelevant. You are not the only one to have contact with them.

maclatunji:

@bolded, your ignorance on the matter is obvious, no need to debate with you.

Dayo...:
RDCSL.

Akainzo: The CP invites the Speaker for alleging threat of assassination because the statement has security implications.

The IG says Asari has no case to answer for threatening bloodshed and disintegration of Nigeria.

Are the two reading from the same law and constitution?

ileobatojo: Is this a true story? Very unlikely that it will take 7 yrs for an SS person to show signs of it.


As for the woman, you want us to advice her? Lol! You've got jokes!!

I just hope this mother won't strangle the poor girl one day after she gets kicked out. She's wishing for her child to die so her husband doesn't find out? After deceiving the man so gravely for 7 yrs? What a witch!

ella45: house pls help me on this is just 5 months to my wedding my girl is a week pregnant mum is against me marrying her what do i ?i love this girl and she loves me as well

Dede1: State governors in Nigeria are showing signs of power-drunkenness and acute disrespect for rule of law. The governor of a state in Nigeria does not have any right to sack an elected local government chairman. By this same token, governors do have the right appoint local government chairman because the constitution has granted such position as elective one.

It is the same parallel to the relationship between governor and president. The idiotic shenanigans such as the action accredited to Amaechi of Rivers States give credence to the statement that Africans are not qualified to practice democracy.

By this same token, governors do have the right appoint local government chairman because constitution has granted such position as elective.
