₦airaland Forum

I am surprise that some people do not see anything wrong with this web site. What is the reason for a police site without contact address, no single phone number talk less of emergency number, no e-mail address. Shame on our leaders and coward followers

@otukpo, please tell us what happen to saharareporters

@ cre8tivity, please if there is something about Ribadu that you know and other don't know tell us. The reason for this forum is for us to learn and make meaningful contribution. I know millions of Nigerians who are supporting Ribadu today base on the evidence on ground, if you can just give them one simple reason especially related to corruption they will be among the first set of people to tell the world that Ribadu is a thief, Gani happened to be one of them. Let do what is right for the sake of our future, let praise those who deserve to be praise. If you truly believe that Gani was one of the few Nigerians who had never associated with those criminals in power then let so appreciation to the little this young man has done.

I find it very difficult to believe this ur change of tone, very strange.

Wale Alausa should just bury his head in shame, apologise to all member of his family and resign from the public seen; this act is a disgrace to manhood.
Gbenga Daniel is a devil, criminal and should be treated as such, this is a man without the fear of God; in politic, there is no permanent friend or enemy, to have differences is part of politics all over the world. To do this to your fellow man all in the name of politics is cruel, UNGODLY, and this is far from act of maturity. This is evidence that you can do worst to those around you when you are not getting along, I fear people like you and never pray to associate myself with people of your type who will not mind bring a life disgrace and trauma into the family of your fellow human being.
Though, you and your friends are celebrating the fall and national disgrace you have brought to this man and his family, I advise that you seek for God intervention in your life as God has never created somebody so powerful that he can not conquer, base on my believe; what goes around comes around your downfall is around the corner

1.If you have receive your visa, there is nothing you can do for now except to wait for 5yrs when u will become a citizen.
2.If you are going for appointment i.e you have received your appointment letter, the same as in number one
3.if you are waiting for your letter of appointment, go to their web site and print the form ------- to inform them of change of status with evidence of marriage certificate.
With this, they are aware that you have married, if you inform them early your partner's name will be on your appointment letter but it was late you may not get reply from them but the embassy in Nigeria have that copy. When you receive your appointment letter and your partner's name is not there, never bother they are already aware that your status has change.
Go for interview with your partner with your affidavit of support and necessary requirement with this you will be fine.

NOTE:
If you are not very strong or you don't know much about each other please, let her stay for now. Try your best to come over; I can assure you that you will be fine, the initial stage may be tough but with time u will smile for any assistance get across to me on lateeffolu2000@yahoo.com. BEST OF LUCK.

IF indeed reincarnation is real, Bolanle Daramola is not likely to be motivated to come back again as a woman. The reason is that she suffered an excruciating pain and died a slow, painful death in her "earlier life" while trying to give birth at the Gbagada General Hospital in Lagos. It was on a grim day on January 22, 2008.

When Bolanle, a mother of three, walked into the ante-natal ward of the General Hospital on the morning of January 21, 2008, death was the only thing that refused to play in the picture of her mind. She envisaged no difficulty delivering her fourth child.

In fact, Muftau Daramola, Bolanle’s husband, had promised to return in a few hours, with the hope of taking both the mother and her new child home. But the couple’s hope assumed a fatal twist when the labour went indefinitely on as the baby refused to come.

It is the joy of every couple to witness the birth of their child and for months, the Daramolas had been expecting the joyful birth of their new baby, with no inclination that fate would deal them a wicked hand.

Muftau had gone back to the hospital at Gbagada after closing for work, only to meet his wife, who had been assuring him on phone that all was well since the early hours of the fateful day, still in pains.

After appealing to the nurses who had earlier told him he could not enter the labour ward, he was allowed to see his wife, who only requested that he should pray for her and then go back home to cater for their other children, promising to call him as soon as their baby came.

He pretended to have accepted his wife’s suggestion but stayed back at the hospital to monitor the situation and be close by in case there was a need that had to be met urgently.

This was the situation till 8:00p.m, when the Assistant Chief Matron on duty informed the doctor on duty, Dr. Anifowoshe, that the foetus was bigger than an average baby's and that Bolanle’s contraction was weak. She concluded that she might not be able to deliver the baby by herself, and suggested that a caesarean section be carried out.

Dr. Anifowoshe allegedly would not have any of this. He gave the verdict that Bolanle was unnecessarily lazy, and should be left to be delivered of the child. An hour later, however, Dr. Anifowoshe himself had to agree that Bolanle’s prognosis was bad, and that a caesarean section was needed to be carried out immediately.

By the time Dr. Anifowoshe agreed that a caesarean section was needed, the personnel needed for the surgery had allegedly left the hospital. There was no other doctor at hand, and the obstetrician was also missing. Dr. Anifowoshe, however, kept assuring Muftau that by the time they will go for surgery, all the other doctors and needed facilities would be available.

At 1:00a.m of January 22, 2008, 17 hours after Bolanle got to the hospital, Muftau was directed to get blood ready from the hospital laboratory and to also purchase some drugs. This task proved an uphill one which took all of his patience as well as perseverance. The procedure for the blood crossing was not given to him, and the two female laboratory attendants were fast asleep, and were not ready to disrupt their sleep to help the desperate Muftau without passionate persuasion. He had to run round the female delivery ward and the laboratory,weeping, according to him, before he could be attended to for the three times he had to go there for blood.

After the stress of getting the blood, Muftau got back to meet no doctor on hand, except Dr. Anifowoshe, who was busy making calls to the other doctors, telling them to get ready for the operation. He promised to send the ambulance to pick them.

Another complication reportedly developed at this point.

The only ambulance attached to the hospital was said not to be on ground. The driver claimed it had developed an electrical fault on the Third Mainland bridge and was still there, but assured that it would soon be brought back.

The worried and desperate Muftau suggested using any of the two vehicles that he had with him to pick the doctors but was turned down on the grounds that it was not proper, nor in the interest of the doctors, to convey them in a private car at that time of the night. Yet, Bolanle continued to wallow in pain.

During this period, Bolanle reportedly fainted from severe pain while she was being cleaned up by a nurse and was revived. It was at this time that a message was sent in that the ambulance had arrived. The driver was immediately sent to pick up the doctors. A female doctor who was to administer anaesthesia for the surgery, Dr. (Mrs.) Owodunni, came in with the ambulance but Dr. Saheed, a.k.a Oko Oloyun, who was to perform the caesarean section, allegedly remained elusive. The ambulance came back without him and no reason was given to Muftau.

At about the time Bolanle fainted, one of Muftau’s bosses in his office invited the Critical Rescue team (CRT), to help keep Bolanle alive. A two-man team from CRT led by Dr. Olagbenga got to the Gbagada General hospital at 1:00a.m but were not allowed to participate in caring for Bolanle. After series of consultations and explanations, they were eventually allowed to have access to the patient, but when they finally saw her condition, they left after a few minutes, stating that they could not render any assistance as they were allowed access late after the situation had gone bad. They added that Dr. Anifowoshe did not allow them to move her , maintaining that they were capable of handling the situation.

When Dr. Anifowoshe realised that life was slowly ebbing out of Bolanle, and Dr. Saheed was yet to show up, they decided to refer her to Island Maternity. A referral letter was finally issued to move Bolanle but the hospital personnel refused to render further help. The doctor and nurses on duty allegedly refused to accompany the seriously weak woman and her husband to Island Maternity on the grounds that it was late and dangerous for their lives.

Dr. Saheed, however, finally turned up in his private car around 3.00a.m and a consent letter for the caesarean section was given to Muftau to sign around 4.00a.m. while Bolanle was wheeled to the theatre. Alas! It was too late. Bolanle had given up the fight after about 20 hours of intense pain.

Bolanle died in what friends and family have continued to term negligence on the part of the medical officers of the Gbagada General Hospital. She, like many others, through no fault of hers, joined the high statistics of maternal mortality in Nigeria, in spite of the fact that she and her husband did all within their power to avoid this kind of incident.

Bolanle since her first regisgration for antenatal care at the hospital on October 22, 2007 with a card number 0908556 issued to her, had been adhering to all medical precautions given to her by the medical personnel according to her husband. She carried out two ultra-sounds during the gestation period first on November 5, 2007 and later on January 14, 2008 as instructed by the hospital and nothing out of the ordinary was detected as her medical records revealed.

In fact, mother and child were adjudged to have a clean bill of health, even on the morning of January 21, when she finally got admitted for delivery before her demise.
Bolanle's case, among many others, thus reinforces the authenticity of the recent report released by the United Nations International Children Emergency Fund (UNICEF) on maternal mortality and morbidity. The report claims that the rate of maternal mortality and morbidity is high in Nigeria.

In the last one-year, Muftau has not had a moment of respite. Though like a good Muslim, he had taken the event as the wish of Allah, he still passionately desires that the case be investigated and necessary steps taken to ensure that what befell his family will not happen to any other Nigerian.

“I have accepted my fate, my wife is dead and nothing can bring her back, but I will not rest until adequate steps are taken to prevent a future occurrence,” he said.

According to him, the hospital personnel tried to do a cover up and he believes this is still the case.

“It is important to note that the consent note to perform operation on my wife was given to me at about 4:00a.m on 22nd January 2008, while the death certificate later issued showed that my wife died about 3.30a.m on 22nd January 2008 and no surgical operation was performed on her till she died.”

A year later, Muftau is still reeling from the blow dealt to him by the death of his wife and has vowed that he will not rest until a series of questions are answered. As a result, he has written to the management of the Gbagada General Hospital through the Chief Medical Director, who he said later called him and spoke with him. He has also written to the Commissioner for Health, the Governor of Lagos state, Mr. Babatunde Raji Fasola, and the Association of Medical and Dental Practitioners that instructed him to put his complaint in an affidavit form, to enable them to take a legal action and this he has done.

However, Muftau is not satisfied. This is because all his efforts have not yielded any visible fruit and he believes the ghost of his wife will not be laid to rest if justice is not done to avoid a future recurrence.

When contacted, the Public Relations Officer in the Lagos State Ministry of Health, Mr. Jide Lawal spoke with Nigerian Tribune on the issue. He said that contrary to the allegations, the ministry was working on the case. He explained that one needs to examine a case critically before an officer is alleged, or accused of negligence in carrying out his duties, adding that when investigation is concluded, any officer found wanting will definitely face the tune.

The Chief Medical Director of Gbagada General Hospital, when contacted on phone via SMS text, however declined to comment on the issue but referred Nigerian Tribune to a higher authority.

“You can see the Permanent Secretary, Health Service Commission on 1 Ganiu Smith Street, beside Lagos Island Maternity for full briefing,” the text reads.

Till press time however, the Permanent Secretary had not been seen to get his own reaction.

Incidences like this, Nigerian Tribune learnt, happen regularly in many general hospitals, though a few get reported and, according to a pregnant female lawyer, Mrs. Maryam Bello, it is not enough to deny some cases, “When the circumstantial evidences become too overwhelming. Then, there is a need for the medical personnel to look inwards. That maternal mortality is high in Nigeria is a fact.”

Major factors attributed to the high rate of maternal mortality in Nigeria by researchers include dearth of required medical facilities, poorly trained personnel, negligence and lack lustre attitude of workers, especially workers in government employ.

Though Muftau’s allegations, according to authorities, have not been thrown out, but are under investigation, they have raised some important questions which, could unravel the mystery, or expose who or what is actually responsible for Bolanle’s death.

Where were the theatre doctors on duty while Bolanle was in labour? Where really was the only functional ambulance and how did the driver who was within the hospital manage to repair the ambulance on Third Mainland Bridge in the dead of the night and get it to the hospital before morning? Why was Muftau’s offer of using his vehicle to pick Dr. Saheed turned down if he would later not follow the ambulance but show up in his private vehicle? Why was the critical rescue team prevented from helping out? Why did it take Dr. Anifowoshe so long to decide on a caesarean section, and why did it take hours to prepare? Why was Dr. Anifowoshe alone on duty? Why did they tell Muftau to take his wife to Island Maternity alone in that precarious condition? Why was Bolanle referred to the Island Maternity Hospital?

These questions, if and when answered, could settle the case quickly as justice delayed may end up being justice denied.

Comment of Nigeria Senator on Ribadu travail

Senator Mamora explained that the removal of Ribadu as EFCC boss never followed due process as laid down in the act setting up the commission , and that this invariably negates the provision of the constitution , adding that unless the process of his removal as EFCC boss was tidy , it would be difficult to erase that impression from the minds of Nigerians that he was dealt with unjustly.


“Ribadu’s removal did not follow due process as laid down in the act establishing the commission. In spite of the perceived excesses of Mallam Ribadu as EFCC chief under Obasanjo, the young man must be given credit for his doggedness, courage ,tenacity of purpose , passion for his job and for pushing the war against corruption into the front burner.


“Mallam Ribadu is not perfect, but he tried to make a difference. Some people argued that Ribadu is the architect of his own fate. I do not share this view .The Ribadu treatment may discourage people from putting in their best under a difficult environment,” he said.

Tougher times ahead, says Fawehinmi
By Akpo Esajere, Group Political Editor

LEFT to prominent lawyer and human rights activist, Chief Gani Fawehinmi (SAN), Nigerians might as well put on their sackcloth and begin to mourn as the New Year is ushered in.

Sounding like a Prophet of Doom on Tuesday, he issued a damning prediction that "Nigeria is going to be in total mess in 2009. The year will be one of the most gruelling for the people. In 2009, the country will not be very rich. Corruption may even be upgraded and we will see less of electricity from Power Holding Company of Nigeria (PHCN)."

Speaking to The Guardian at his Lagos home on Tuesday, he said that things would be so bad in the energy sector that Nigeria will be worse than even countries at war like Israel and Palestine, which enjoy more stable access to electricity than the country.

"Those who are at war like the Israelis and Palestinians have more electricity than Nigeria. Israel has 10 times more electricity than Nigeria. Even the Palestinians enjoy more than five times the electricity we have in Nigeria and they are at war. We are not at war. The money is flowing but there is no good manager," he said.

According to him: "In 2009, we will see more poverty, more bad roads, decrepit medical institutions and incomes will be substantially reduced. The revenue that the government would have will be substantially reduced. We will have more crises because I don't see how the Nigeria Labour Congress (NLC) will not pursue its minimum wage crusade.

"The government may attempt to increase the price of petroleum products because of the loss it is sustaining from low revenue from oil."

Despite the picture of gloom, he said that "there are some people in this country who can virtually turn stone into water. It is not only Israel that we have Jews. We have Jews in Nigeria too. In the East, the easterners are extremely hardworking and also some people in parts of the West and North."

In the face of the depression, Fawehinmi said that "we need a very strong President in our country. We need a man who will do what is right for the nation as an entity and for the people. We need a man who will put programmes and policies that will lift the ordinary man from the doldrums of poverty to happiness. We need a man who will stand against all forms of social injustices; the most paramount is corruption.

"We need a man who will deal with corruption with his life. We need a man who will put God first. You put God first when you think of the interest of the man in the street. If you say you are a religious man and you want to put God first, you have to do what Prophet Mohammed did; you have to do what Jesus Christ did. Christ and Mohammed worked for the poor and died for the poor."

Adding further to the gloom, Fawehinmi said that the present leadership of "Yar'Adua is far from all those qualities and characteristics I have put forward. He is not putting God first. To put God first, a President should look at how the people are living, how families are dying from the fumes coming out from generators because there is no electricity.

"You should look at God first by ensuring that people don't die of hunger. You look at God first when you come to the hospital and every hospital is equipped with modern equipment that can diagnose problems and the people have access to the most modern treatment on earth. You look at God first when you don't pick dead bodies on the road as a result of accidents caused by potholes on our bad roads.

"You look at God first when people who want education will get education. You look at God first when you go to the universities, secondary schools and so on and you can say 'I am proud of these institutions. You put God first when the wealth of the nation is used to promote the interest and welfare of the people.

"You put God first from the way you behave and how people around you live. Nigerians are dying from poverty. Their children cannot get access to institutions they want to get to. The country is not being run. We are retrogressing; our country is retrogressing daily."

He noted that the country has found itself in these dire straits because of poor management and lack of foresight.

"A year ago, our major source of income, oil, was selling for $147 per barrel. A good President should have harnessed the proceeds to look at areas he can invest them to combat the poverty of our people. Nothing was done.

"Today, the price of oil is below $40 per barrel. When you cannot perform when oil was $147 per barrel, when money was streaming in and pouring in, will you perform when the stream is drying up? When resources are drying up, you cannot. If I did not perform when I was very strong in health, when I was 30, 40 years, what will I be living on now at 70? When we translate it to governance, it is more serious. There is no governance," he asserted.

According to Fawehinmi, "the country is retrogressing daily."

Citing examples from various sectors, he said that there was nothing to cheer the people about. He said that the government got its fight on corruption on a wrong footing when it sacked and has continued to hound the former Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Nuhu Ribadu.

He said: "This country has been very bad in terms of corruption and for the first time in many years, one man came, Ribadu came for the first time in the history of Nigeria and dealt with the corrupt people. You could accuse him of anything, but you cannot accuse him of corruption.

"When Ribadu was there, the fear of the EFCC was the beginning of wisdom. Nobody cares about the EFCC now. What is EFCC under Mrs. Farida Waziri? EFCC has lost its custom under Waziri. Ribadu's EFCC should not be treated like Waziri's EFCC. One was focussed, determined, courageous and ready to fight against the big shots. The other, which is Waziri, is prepared to wear the soft gloves: 'well, you know, our position is rule of law.'

"I don't know what they mean by the rule of law. There is something about the rule of law they are parroting. When they get stuck about doing what is right for the people and they don't know what next to do, then they need rule of law.

"Rule of law means the law must rule. The law rules when you have the courts and you have a system, you have the laws that are made, that will give the people hope about solving their problems and so on and so forth.

"But you are talking about rule of law and the President is not giving the workers hope. People have to queue for their pension and some die along the way; people don't have a living wage; people don't have access to good education or good health system. It is provided in sections 16 and 17 of our Constitution that you must give the people these things and you say you are practising rule of law."

The activist, who is fighting lung cancer and rejected the national award of Order of the Federal Republic (OFR) given to him by the Federal Government last month, said that he has no regret in turning down the award.

"All they do is to try to put you into their circle by offering you what they call Ole Federal Republic (OFR). I don't want to be Ole Federal Republic or take any honour from a government that has no honour. Honestly, we are in deep crisis. We will see the crisis more in 2009," he stressed.

Nigeria's problem as far as corruption is concerned is a generational curse. The way some of us express ourselves on this issue is another clear indication that Nigeria's future is in danger.

We ought to be crying for what has befallen us as a nation, Our generation seems to be another wasted one and based on the existing structure, our children may not see a brighter future too except by 'God's intervention'. If God gives one hands and mouth and one is fortunate to have a meal before him, it is left for him to either eat the food or keep looking at it. We have the right to vote in Nigeria but we always vote and fight for the wrong people to get to power. We always call on God without doing our part, we ought to tie our camel first then put our trust in God else the camel will strut while escaping.

How do we see a better tomorrow or a brighter future when the man that sacrificed a lot to put things right by prosecuting corrupt public office holders as well as corrupt citizens is now an enemy of the state. Nuhu Ribadu went as far as recovering and returning a huge sum from the $242million stolen from a Brazilian bank by Nigerian scammers back to the owners, the bank by the way collapsed as a result of the scam and the bank manager also lost his life. During his reign as EFCC boss, Nigeria's corruption rating dropped (Transparency international). What more can we ask for? Those celebrating Ribadu's downfall should search their conscience and think of what their lives would have been if things work out fine for our dearest country.

I expected those who are celebrating Ribadu's travails to have come up with better logical arguments than saying:

• Ribadu carried out selective justice against OBJ's enemy; A reasonable argument would have been to say Ribadu used his position to victimize innocent people. The so called OBJ's enemies were the true enemies of Nigeria, they helped pilot Nigeria to this hopeless situation whereby over eighty percent of Nigerian graduates are jobless, and about 85% of Nigerian's live on less than $1 a day. Those who see these thieves as their friends today either because they are being paid as one of their agents or because you have received favors from them will soon realize that they are being paid little today in exchange for a gloomy future for them and their children. I will advice that you ask your conscience if none of those officials accused of corruption by Ribadu was truly corrupt.

• Ribadu's promotion was illegal lacks substance, this argument show's that some of us don’t actually understand the veto power of the president in a presidential system of government. Ribadu's promotion whether partial or otherwise in the face of law is legal. The president has the executive power under the constitution to 'double' promote Nuhu Ribadu for performing excellently. In primary schools, if a child performs excellently well, he is allowed to take his National Common Entrance Examination in Primary 5 instead of primary 6. The same applied to Ribadu I suppose, it's all common sense but common sense is not a common thing, I believe.

• That his suit against his employers is against the policies in the Nigeria Police is ridiculous and if a policy like that truly exists, then it's draconian. Can anyone tell me if seeking redress for injustice in a court of law is an offence, this is part of our right to freedom and life which is enshrined in our cherished constitution. Ribadu acted in line with the provisions of the Nigeria constitution and this has further confirmed him as a man that believes in the rule of law.

• The argument that he was not in Police uniform at the NIPPS graduation does not hold water either. when one's case is in court, one cannot assume to be right or wrong. What uniform should Ribadu have worn at the NIPPS graduation? The AIG or the Deputy Commisioner's uniform? Honestly, all these really shows why the literacy level in Nigeria is about sixty percent, our rulers not leaders and certain individuals just don't understand, they don't get it, might never get it.

I am very happy that majority of the people on this forum know the truth and have said it except for a few, who have consistently displayed their ignorance towards the damage corruption has caused our nation, they have equally shown their shallow knowledge about what the rule of law is all about, that explains why they continue to tell us that Ribadu did not follow the rule of law. What else would a reasonable man consider honorable under the rule of law when his right is being trampled upon besides seeking justice in a law court recognized by Nigeria’s constitution.

If taxi drivers, market women, village teachers, the international community and those who have tried their best for Nigeria even at the expense of their lives can say that Ribadu deserves to be celebrated, then the arguments of ‘yahoo boys’ like profit$ and that of an agent like creativity should be ignored.

Ppl like creativity, profit$, chidichris & co shd be ignore, they are doing what they were paid for.

Please, cre8tivity and co let see your own argument from constitutional point of view

Nuhu Ribadu’s Dismissal: A Case Of Farcical Illegalities

I have read like other people the
purported dismissal of Mallam
Nuhu Ribadu from the Nigeria Police by the Police Service Commission. The dismissal is illegal, unlawful and unconstitutional in the extreme. It is farcical to say the very least. I intend to show why I have taken this position.


First, Category M, paragraphs 29 and 30 of Part I to the Third Schedule vests disciplinary control of officers of Ribadu’s rank exclusively on the Police Service Commission. The commission cannot delegate that important duty to any other organisation or body. Thus, the recommendations of the Committee set up by the IG and not the Police Service Commission is absolutely illegal. It offends the maxim delegatus non potest delegare. I have no doubt that a court of law and of equity would nullify the recommendation of a panel set up by a man who has no power to discipline officers of Ribadu’s rank.


Second, even if we concede for the purpose of argument that the Commission could reach its decision by looking at any report brought to its notice, it is clear beyond any doubt that having received the illegal report the Commission owes Mr Ribadu a duty to invite him to explain his side of the story before deciding to act on the one-sided report of the Committee set up by the IG. This is a constitutional duty guaranteed by section 36 of the Constitution. By that section, all Nigerians have a right to fair hearing in the determination of their civil rights and obligations. For breaching this important democratic right the decision of the Commission is fitting for the waste bin as a court of law and of equity would waste no time in thrashing it. The issue here now is not the refusal of Ribadu to appear before the illegal committee but the fact that he was not given any opportunity to appear before the Police Service Commission. The Commission seems to have confused appearing before the IG committee with appearing before it.


Third, the Commission is aware that all the issues upon which Ribadu was charged from refusing to wear his ‘demoted’ rank to the transfer to Benin are matters submitted to the jurisdiction of the court. By dismissing him on those issues the Commission has trampled on the rule of law and gone against the decision of the Supreme Court in Ojukwu v Governor of Lagos State that no party can take the law in his hands. Indeed, what the Commission has done by sacking Ribadu during the pendency of the case amounts to executive lawlessness in the words of the Supreme Court. That is enough to nullify the nonsensical dismissal.


The most laughable charge is that there is a pristine regulation of the police breached by Ribadu. That regulation according to the police forbids the institution of action against the police by officers. That regulation is illegal and unconstitutional as section 6 of the Constitution clearly stipulates that the judicial powers of the country shall extend to all persons. Indeed, any agreement that ousts the jurisdiction of court is void. It is embarrassing that the police authorities can be quoting such an illegal regulation. It is shameful indeed.


The authorities could have exercised patience for the court to rule one way or the other. Now they have helped Mr Ribadu prove his case that he is a victim of some corrupt gangsters that are out to humiliate him by all means. It is disgraceful that men and women of the Police Service Commission have made themselves willing tools in the hands of the corrupt and deadly cabal. What a shame?


I call on the President to reverse the farcical dismissal of Ribadu. Happily, section 158(1) makes it clear that the Commission is subject to the direction and control of the President in the exercise of its power. If the President is not section 158 to reverse the purported dismissal of Mallam Nuhu Ribadu. Period!

It is wrong! it is wrong!! it is wrong!!!

I look at all ur comments and notice that most of us are not sincere. What we are doing is just to look at the name of the school and say something. Say something either because the school is in our state or will attended the school. My comment will base on what I have seen. If am to give pass mark to any university in Nigeria today it has to be Unilag, let us look at website of Unilag and see the quality of information you can get from their site. Unilag is respected outside because other institution find it easy to connect with them in term of getting information and know more about their student. How are u going to compare institution that can provide u information about their student within an hour to institution that will never respond to just simple information. I was not privilege to attend any of this university but pass mark goes to Unilag check their site and see many things dt give an institution respect in international arena. apply for transcript, u don't need to be physically present, everything are done on line.
Let give it to them and encourage others to do well.

what do you think we need to do to make our universities meet up with international standard?

I look around the world and see what make the great country to be great, I ask myself while do we refuse to be great when we have all it takes to be great. What make America to be great today is because of law and order that has become part of their culture. Until we decided to enforce law and order, and all of us see our self equal before the law regardless of our position, becoming great will forever remains a dream. Let all continue to pray for our fatherland, so that GOD will destroy those who are destroying our future.
