Greeting all hope you week is going well...at least you've made it past Monday...

So I wanted to share my joy with you guys and also get you opinions. I went on a website called africanancestry.com and paid for a maternal dna test. Basically what they do is trace your roots back until they find a 100 percent match ( if there is one to be found).
I waited for this test for two months and when I finally got it back I jumped for joy! The results could have come back indian or something but lucky for me my family stayed in the heart of slavery and currently are in the same area. My results traced back to the hausa and yoruba tribe or present day nigeria. I wondered how could I be both so I asked those who sent me the kit. They stated that one of my grandparent was hausa and one was yoruba...wow!
So how do you guys feel about Black Americans tracing their roots and could we be accepted as who we really are? I tell everyone I'm Nigerian now because I am, and damn proud of it!
I now desire to learn yoruba because for some reason I feel closes to them, it could be because I look so much like them..idk...but yeah what do you think?
No jokes about how I'm standing, I really liked the face in this pic so..it's a keeper..

They don’t know the plays yet and need to be reorientated.

You can make it big from the prison system if you smart and know when to quit.

Drugs and mobile phones are hot cakes that can quickly get you rich. Make the money from the system and leave the country before you get bursted.

I met a Doctor in Lagos last year, who told me he has been living with a tumor in his brain. He's almost removing it when another senior surgeon warned against it. He said 20 years after, he's still alive with same tumor well managed.

I agree on second opinion

“The President has given a matching order, and the National Assembly is also given them the necessary cooperation and there will be no issues.

“Within 14 months, we are going to have a brand new road from Abuja end to Kano,” Idris said.

Meanwhile, Umahi explained that there was an extension of the road to Aminu Kano International Airport and another five-kilometre extension on the Abuja-Lokoja end of the road.

According to Umahi, Section 1 of the road starts at Zuba Junction, Zuba Interchange and terminates at Kaduna Western Bypass in Kaduna.

He said that the road, which will have solar lights, would last between 50 and 100 years

“Note that the existing pavement between Abuja to Kaduna has undergone different levels of deterioration over the years.

“This has caused failure due to alligator cracks, corrugation, shoving, underground pumping, rutting, ravelling, potholes and poor drainage.

“The ministry quickly intervened by commencing emergency repairs on this stretch in order to ameliorate the suffering of the road users.

“The maintenance work is in progress in four different stretches simultaneously in order to fast-track the repair works,” Umahi said.

Explaining why the contract for section was revoked from Julius Berger, minister of works Senator David Umahi, said Julius Berger Plc drastically reduced the pace of work on site and wrote a letter to the Federal Ministry of Works requesting for a review from N797bn to N1.5trn representing an increase of 88.21%.

An amount the federal government was not willing to pay.

He said after so much back and forth a Selective tendering process was used in which six contractors including Julius Berger Plc were invited to tender.

According to him, the six contractors are as follows: M/s Julius Berger Nig. Plc, M/s Hitech Construction Company Limited, M/s Infouest Nigeria Limited, M/s CBC Nigeria Limited, M/s CCECC Nigeria Limited and M/s CGC Nigeria Limited.

I'm flying a relative out of UK to get medical attention elsewhere, as NHS are still wasting time.

It's an emergency and they gave us December, 2025 date. This is crazy

Say only what you know.

This is government Hospitals, like our general hospitals.

Private hospitals are not like this but super super expensive. Imagine paying £600 for MRI, whereas in Nigeria it's cheaper at private diagnostic centres.

budaatum:
We can rejoice. The UK health system is now so bad that there's no reason for our rich and politicians to bother stealing our foreign currency to go buy health there.

All we need now is a thread claiming the UK universities kill students, and Nigerians wouldn't be coming to buy university neither and will buy made in Nigeria instead.

UK patients are “coming to harm” with hospitals so overwhelmed people are dying in corridors awaiting treatment amid a “collapse in care standards”, a report said Thursday.

In the latest indictment of Britain’s beleaguered state-funded National Health Service, nine in 10 NHS nurses surveyed by the country’s nurses union said, “patient safety is being compromised.:

Nearly seven in 10 (66.8 per cent) said they were delivering care in “overcrowded or unsuitable places” on a “daily basis”, including in corridors, converted cupboards, car parks, and even bereavement rooms.

“The experiences of over 5,000 nursing staff across the UK highlight a devastating collapse in care standards, with patients routinely coming to harm,” said the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).


The report condemned the “normalisation” of so-called “corridor care”, with nurses unable to access life-saving equipment in cramped spaces.

One nurse in East England said corridor care in their hospital trust was “not an exception, it’s the rule”.

Last month, some 54,000 patients in emergency departments in England had to wait over 12 hours until a hospital bed was available, up 23 percent from December 2023.

The report is a result of a Royal College of Nursing request at the end of December, asking members to fill out a short survey.

The report includes “the raw, unedited and often heart-breaking comments” of the thousands of nursing staff working across the UK who responded, the RCN said.


The report comes as NHS figures released separately Thursday revealed that last week was the busiest yet for the health service this winter, with hospitals “jam-packed” with patients.

Some 96 percent of all hospital beds were full, said Julian Redhead, NHS national clinical director for urgent and emergency care, warning that despite a drop in flu numbers “winter viruses are much higher than usual for this time of year”.

The RCN report included testimonies from nurses treating up to 40 patients waiting in a corridor, as well as reports of pregnant women miscarrying in corridors.

Some said the overcrowding in corridors impeded them from giving life-saving resuscitation (CPR). One nurse recalled a patient dying after a cardiac arrest “by the male toilet”.

Another alleged having to treat cardiac arrests “with no crash bell, crash trolley, oxygen, defibrillator… straddling a patient doing CPR while everyone watches on”.

“This devastating testimony from frontline nursing staff shows patients are coming to harm every day”, said RCN General Secretary Nicola Ranger.

“Vulnerable people are being stripped of their dignity and nursing staff are being denied access to vital lifesaving equipment. We can now categorically say patients are dying in this situation,” Ranger added.

In June 2024, the RCN declared a “national emergency” over hospital overcrowding and care being delivered in unsuitable places.

Health Foundation charity’s assistant director of policy Tim Gardner said record delays in emergency care “were a rarity before the pandemic, but are now the worst we have seen since records began in 2011”.

There are some 7.5 million people on the NHS waiting list, with more than three million having faced delays longer than 18 weeks for treatment.

Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was elected in July on a ticket that included fixing the NHS, rolled out a plan at the start of the year which included expanding community health centres to reduce pressure on hospitals.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting on Wednesday said corridor care was “unsafe” and “undignified” but it would “take time to undo the damage” to the NHS.

Nigerian politicians flush with hard currency don't patronize government-subsidized NHS medical facilities in the UK where the poor and middle class join queues lasting many hours to visit overburdened doctors.

Those super-wealthy Nigerian politicians pay pounds sterling for PRIVATE hospital care in London's Harley Street area, which 80% of the UK population could never afford.

I need the opinion of property lawyers here. My late father bought a land in 1992, with hand written sales agreement. however our father died last four years ago and the person that sold the land to us is also late.

Fast forward to last two years someone came and put a pillars around the land and put a big notice board with an inscription 'Land for Sale'

We finally took the case to court, and we noticed that the same land grabber is clamming that they bought the land from the same person that sold the land to our father, although we have witness which are the children of the man that sold the land to our late father and other people that bought the land together with my father.

Now, in court the defence team is claiming that we abandoned the land for more than 15 years, that is why they are laying claim to the land.

Is there any law in Nigerian that said you can claim a land that is inhabited in the bush and it becomes yours ?

Note: the said land is in the bush and no developments is there presently and the land grabber only put pillars on the land.

Secondly, should in case we win the case, can I claim damages for trespassing in to our land and wasting our time and resources on court case.

The land is in our rural town.

Nairaland please I need enlightenment.

There must be intentional plans to start having these carriages made in Nigeria as soon as Ajaokuta comes on stream. Nigeria has world-class engineers and industrial designers living and working around the world that can make this happen. The NRC already has actual prototypes of carriages made in Nigeria from back in the 1980s and 1990s.
