Why not go to government hospitals and get people who have confirmed illnesses to volunteer and get them treated
They would be the one to freely publicize with the help of the press

I have seen many ignorant minds here claiming Ibadan is bigger than Anambra state, Anambra is second urbanized state in Nigeria after Lagos and second smallest state after Lagos, Anambra is three times bigger than Ibadan Oyo state capital which is the only city in the Oyo state, Anambra is densely populated and forming a one city mega state

Anambra State measures

I am igbo but what is the sense of this thread

All this unexposed ignoramuses and their stupid threads should be banned by the Mods


Tribal comparism threads, religion comparism threads , state comparism threads

When we cant as a country or state independently ptoduce our own food , medicine, computers, microchips, phones, vehicle engines and brainboxes, computer motherboards, internet servers and satellites, artificial intelligence bots from scratch,

But depend on imports from other countries on other continents

A lot of mental liberation is needed

https://businessday.ng/agriculture/article/africa-spends-50bn-on-food-import-annually-says-report/?amp

Nigeria and other African countries spend an average of $50 billion annually importing foods.

A report by the African Export-Import Bank (Afreximbank) revealed that many African countries still depend solely on food importation to survive regardless of their large land areas.

“The nations of Africa together import approximately $50 billion of food each year, a figure that could climb to as much as $110 billion by 2025 without significant interventions,” the report said.

Despite possessing vast natural resources and fertile land, African nations have become increasingly dependent on food imports and plagued by food insecurity and undernourishment

Foreign AffairsRe: Royal Niger Company, The First Yahoo (fraud) In Nigerian History by Laird(m):
The British had superior technology

So its not.by mouth or advocacy.


Get technology
Learn
Research

China produces many goods by themselves.

Nigeria still imports generators, food, computers, software, medicine, military Lweapons, vehicle engines, ,


No need to shoot a missile to destroy Nigeria, just stop airports and sea ports and landports from bringing in goods.

https://nairametrics.com/2025/03/06/sierra-leones-president-criticizes-50-billion-annual-food-import-bill-in-africa/

Funny enough , many of the Best Brains leave Nigeria to work overseas

Is Nigeria investing in research


Superior weapons and technology is what keeps Nations from being subdued

Iran and North Kores are treated with caution because they have weapons

Natural resources and trading are no substitute for owning superior technology in critical and essential areas

CelebritiesRe: Why I’m Not Married, Yet To Have Kids - Ruggedman by Laird(m):
Pickieox:
You are right about this. Do you realised when I left the shores of Nigeria, I've been having that thought if I would father a child or not. I discovered our environment shapes the way we think though. I believe time will tell.
Exactly

People evolve with their thinking. Some people would rather stay single than be with a partner who doesnt meet their requirements.

A lot of People in China, Japan, Taiwan, Austrakia, South Kotea Uk, Greece, Spain, Itakly are not having kids due to many reasons like having acceas to too much information about life, global uncertainty, economic uncertainty , choice, not wanting the responsibiility, need for personal space, feeling of not being able to give their optimum time and resources and energy to a chilld"s needs,, fear of natutal disasters fear of economic crisis,. High cost of quality child birth, child care ,healthcare, education and housing, peace of mind, fear of kids being exposed to bad vices like violence and transgender and immoral vuces promoted in the media through videos, films amd cartioons,

Many African countries and Afghanistan have the higjhest birth rates

High Birth rate does not translate to economic innovation and productivity or better quality of life

It can be an economic and physically demanding venture.

Leave Rugged Man alone

It is better to.be rich and single and even childless than be poor, broke, with many children who You cant feed, maintain and empower and sponsor to succeed.and leave at the mercy of others

Giving Birth is not an achievement. Jesus Christ, Paul, Tupac, Isaac Newton, , Albert Einstein, Mozart, Michael Faraday

Who knows if they had children or not
HealthRe: A Man Whose Wife Is Pregnant Should Have Nothing Less Than N5M In His Account by Laird(m): 9:59am On Feb 27, 2025
DeOTR:
No sensible person pays hospital bills out of pocket again.
LMAO, You are singing to a choirmember. Health insurance many times doesnt cover everything. Sometmes have waiting periods where approval has to be gotten. A lady was in labour in a private hospital and it wasnt going too okay and had to.do C.S , the. insurance company was delaying to approve. A major one, dey play

The husband was told he would foot the bill if the appoval does not come

Insurance that sometimes would not pay the facility. Nigerians too are fond of insurance fraud.
HealthRe: A Man Whose Wife Is Pregnant Should Have Nothing Less Than N5M In His Account by Laird(m):
Nigerians like to overpopulate


And we dont produce anything. No electricity, no innovation, no drugs, cant even produce our own sufficient food, cant even produce a phone or computer or decent roads

Childbirth can be very very expensive in Nigeiria.
Someone that worked in a General hospital observed there was a room where women that were owing hospital bills after delivery are kept

Waiting for people to come and help pay the bills

Nigerians hide their messup a lot while pretending all is well.

Private hospitals run generator, and power bills, pay taxes, pay signage, pay staff, buy items for their work,


Government hospitals.might be a bit cheaper but most still buy drugs and drugs are expensve

Things are expensive in Nigeria including pregnancy checks, pregnancy maintenance, delivery, and sometimes there are health challenges during and after delivery for either the mother or child or both.

Its safer to keep money down for cases like this

If You like dont use your sense
HealthRe: A Man Whose Wife Is Pregnant Should Have Nothing Less Than N5M In His Account by Laird(m): 9:01am On Feb 27, 2025
Slizzords:
5m too much but at least 2M still makes to have as a man way wifie get belle. Delivery fees and CS operations can run into hundreds of thousands of naira somentimes millions sef depending on the hospital.

In a nutshell don't get a woman pregnant if you're not financially stable.
To add to this

A tin of SMA baby milk is now ten thousand naira


Emergency surgery fees even in government hospitals are not cheap

Inflation is high
CelebritiesRe: Why I’m Not Married, Yet To Have Kids - Ruggedman by Laird(m):
A tin of sma baby milk is now ten thousand naira

Some people are not freaked about having kids. This idealogy is even more popular and prominent abroad and more common among educated and enlightened people.


I have met and discussed witb Rugged man years back when I saw him at a place after he came to the town to perform.
He was not with any woman or babe.Just him and a few guys

He was so cool, polished, well dressed and handsome and he speaks very well and very articulately. No airs, no arrogance. I was a student then, even though we met in a social place.And Yes I am a guy. I wasnt blinged up or making it rain or looking expensive. I was dressed basic

I even spoke with him about some of the wack music that was popular then. He refused to mention any name ( smart guy). He Just laughed and brushed it off.

He has his choice. Not everyone is freaked about giving births to kids to validate themself or their existence

Ruggedman was far more handsome in person than in Pictures. Some men have grown past needing validation hy having a relationship or kids. He might be in rhat category.

Besides there is so much uncertainty in.the World presently
