I was a victim of Altar Bully. APC is my political group...my pastor is a LP man. I'm his interpreter...He called me all kind of derogatory names during service....like jobless graduate who teaches around private schools... I cried when I got home that night. I couldn't sleep. But I fear God. The following week, I was called for an interview for a job I applied for over a year. I passed the test and interview. And APC won while his party loss.
If not for my personal love for Christ I would have stopped going to church because of my experience.

Do you still attend that church?I hope not.

Nigeria should focus on renewables like solar,wave energy,hydro and biomass at least to power homes while the use of gas should be limited to industrial use.
The use of renewables is cheaper and will create thousands of jobs over time.
Nigeria leaders are incompetent

erico2k2:

I have just checked, they are Regulated by the NMA(Nigeria Medical Association) so the FG was right scrap funding for them too

you are blind and delusional.

erico2k2:

WHy are you locked up in this way and you are even calling people miopic.
Medical and Dental council of Nigeria is a regulatory Body, they are not a professional body so this news has nothing to do with them no one is shutting them down, how is this hard for you to understand and comprehend

Go and check the list again and stop parroting.

dfrost:


Okay, I understand you but then if government provides funding, will they publish the financial statements?

We act anyhow in this part of the world. Maybe, we do a case by case basis.

well the funding by the government is not even enough in the first place despite perceived corruption in certain quarters.
To me,the only good thing about this is that,these bodies will be accountable to their subjects which will in turn lead to effectiveness of these bodies in performing their roles with minimum government control.
But leaving the government out of their business do not make sense.

Judolisco:
now d money won't go to d federal government anymore... They'll be independent... I grab d point that they'll increase their registration fees and all... On a serious note they're really cashing out not all of them are using d remita system... I knw about d environmental health council own... All d money we paid back then was jst normal transfer or cash, even up till now they don't have a payment portal online.... Now look at all d sch of health technology and some universities offering environmental health science in Nigeria, they must register all their students with d council... D university I graduated from d money we paid back them was almost 160k to d council, so most of them r cashing out big time

Well, I really don't know about your profession but in my discipline anything related to payment in done on remita and this goes to the government.
Like I typed earlier,the professionals under these bodies will take control of their profession with minimal government interference which will be good for them in a major way but the populace will still bear the brunt in certain ways.

erico2k2:

Now this is your delusions.

You are the delusional one.
Imagine stopping medical councils from receiving funding from the government.
Most of you are myopic.

erico2k2:

You still do not get it,dfrost gave a clear explanation of what a professional body is and a regulatory body. FG is stopping funding for Professional bodies not Regulatory bodies, get it right!

My friend,you don't know what you talking about.
I gave you a clear role PCN and MDCN play both stopped from recieving funding from the government , yet you are here displaying your ignorance.
Go and do your research.

erico2k2:

ALl these long epistles you are writing are baseless, I only responded to the bit where you say NGO in the west are funded by Government the answer is no.if they have a project they get funded with a GRANT, they do not have yearly budget from the government. Anything the requires approval by law would be charged by them.So things like NUT funded by the FG is legit right? even though they charge teachers monthly?

That is your delusions.
Like I typed earlier,good for the professional bodies but the public will bear the brunt at the end of the day. We shall be here.

dfrost:


You seem learned but then you use invectives to pass your message.

I for one support this move. The memo is for professional bodies, not regulatory.

Professional body = Computer Professionals (Registration Council) of Nigeria (CPN)

Regulatory body = NAFDAC

I belong to 4 professional bodies (2 local, 2 international) and honestly the local bodies have not helped me in any way. Innovation = 0.

I am looking at things based on my discipline.
Role of NAFDAC is limited in regulating drugs and consumables.
Do you know the roles professional bodies like MDCN and PCN play in regulating their profession?
Okay.

3ice9ce:


You haven't started crying yet. Wait till they implement Orosanye report by merging MDAs.
Maybe you will have convulsions by then.

Don't be stupid. I work in the health sector and I know how much I pay yearly as license fees.
I am just looking at things in proper perspectives.
Let the government stop funding professionals bodies in the health sector and let see the implications of these in the long run.
The professionals under the auspices of these professional bodies will bear the brunt in form of increase in fees before and after graduation.
This will be be good for these professionals but the people will be the biggest loser in the long run.
A pharmaceutical company in Nigeria pay 5 million annually to continue to do business to PCN.
But in order to generate revenue to keep its operation working,PCN will simply increase the fees of these companies who will in turn increase the price of goods and services to the final consumers.
By the time you pay close to a million Naira to induct one of your family members after medical school, your eyes will clear.
It is common sense.

erico2k2:

Stop talking outta ur backside, I live in a develop country and the government do not fund pro bodies, they survive by donations and thier real JOB

you don't know what you are talking about.
Do you know the roles these professional bodies play in Nigeria.
Take PCN for example,that body regulate pharmacy schools,the number of students to be admitted in pharmacy schools, license of pharmacists after graduation with yearly fees to continue to practice legally.This body also license pharmaceutical companies, community pharmacies, drug distribution, control and sales of drugs and consumables generally. These are just a few roles, it plays
Mind you the number of persons working in this council is not even enough to work effectively.
What will the council do? Increase fees across board to work effectively with the pharmacists having greater control of their profession.
Let me see how the government will direct NMA on the type of lecturers who will work in medical schools or the number of students to be admitted yearly in these schools.
Expect high costs of medical services in this country in the next few years.
I can't really say much about other sectors involved.

Judolisco:
bro most of dis regulatory agencies are cashing out big time...i think medical and dental council of Nigeria shouldn't be part of them... But d rest should fund themselves abeg

Cashing out in what sense?
The current monies they generate go to the government yearly in the form of remittance by "remita" where the government will in turn budget their yearly amount as expenses in the form of running costs and capital expenditure.
Take the health sector for example. These professional bodies determine how many students will be admitted to medical schools, accreditation of medical schools to meet certain standards, monitoring of health facilities and professionals against quackery and sub standards structures, licensing of these facilities and health care providers against illegal practice and many more.
These bodies will simply increase fees at all levels and tighten the grip against government interference in their profession.
These professional bodies will be the biggest winner in the long run since the professionals will want to protect their space but the citizens will be the biggest losers in the long run.

Nigerians are daft. Look at them supporting rubbish.
How can you defund regulatory agencies whose role is to regulate professional bodies to achieve a sane environment within critical sectors of the economy.
Even developed countries have so many regulatory agencies which not only create jobs but also create effective improvement among the sectors being controlled by these professionals bodies.
Imagine saying health professional bodies will not be funded by the state and yet,the government will want to expert control on how the health sector will be run effectively.
Okay!

helinues:


Perhaps you are still young during Osoba's tenure

No Governor in Ogun state constructed extension roads more than Osoba. All those Oke Aregba road, Idi aba linking Obantoko na all Osoba's projects

Abeg shut up jare. Amosun transformed Abeokuta into a decent city.
He constructed good roads with wide extensions ,walk ways and street lights.
The only fault I had with him was the open drainage associated with those roads.
Unlike Osoba who constructed useless tiny roads.
In fact,Amosun had a proper plan about the development of Abeokuta and his candidate would have propelled the city into another level.
Osoba,Gbenga Daniel and the current one are all useless, corrupt and incompetent.
I will rank Amosun as the second best Governor to have ruled that state after Olabisi onabanjo.

AwkaFinest:




Yes, you are very lowly cerebral. Hence your infantile understanding of what intelligence is.

you have no clue but to reveal in your fantasies and delusions.
Go back to bed. Sounding smart but clueless about life.

AwkaFinest:




I understand your mental capacity.

You don't need to understand since you are the dumb one.

AwkaFinest:



I've watched him all through. He seem intelligent to you because the majority of the housemates are not book smart. Their general knowledge is extremely poor to begin with.

Being an above average orator like Venita, Angel and Adekunle are, does not make them smart/intelligent. Infact I'm ashamed watching them, especially with something that relates to academics.

I understand that the show is an entertainment show, not a show for the showcase of intelligence, neither is it a talent hunt show.

What nonsense are trying to imply?
Seems you are trying to convince yourself with what is not.
Yes , Adekunle is one of the most intelligent folks in that house together with venita, Angel and probably Soma.
The reason why I have a soft spot for these people no matter their negatives sometimes.
Just because Adekunle did not answer two questions do not suggest he is not brilliant.
Being Intelligent connotes, having little knowledge in almost every area and being conversant with it.
He has done well so far with brain tasking competition which cut across all fields which suggests his wins and intellect.
You yourself do you have 100% scores in your grades in school, assuming you are educated?

Jen96:
After typing this epistle, please vote Baye .

No way,I have voted for my favourite and I wish him luck on Sunday.
I am not a stanship prostitute.

Adexchelsea19:
Adekunle has told venita to stop saying somethings and he has done this many times, he even told her to not say some things about the sponsors. That is the least he can do bcs venita is not a baby that he will be scolding every now and then. In fact I’ve watch where he told venita to stop something and it leads to another fight. Please venita is responsible for herself, it’s not in even Adekunles place to be cautioning her when he’s not the one that brought her to the house.

finally, you are not a fan of Adekunle. There’s nothing Adekunle did this season that the other hms haven’t done worse. Just say the bandwagon jazz touch you and you ported, stop giving reasons that is very watery for your decision. As you leave Adekunle he still enter final bcs of the people that really love him.

Abio. Even if Adekunle was not in a ship, people like him will still find an excuse not to support him.
He has the right to support anyone he likes but people like him should stop giving unnecessary excuse of not supporting a housemate.
No one really cares.

Clement1111:

Thank you for catching your sub

Didn't bother to read the epistle by the way....

Then get off my mention.
But Next time you post unreasonable stuff against my favourite which is untrue or childish, except my clapback.
Don't hide under the guise of bantering to give
dark narratives.
Some of us can read through.

ItisHi:
Ewo! You woke up gun blazing today

These people are very annoying.
Typing irrelevant stuff.

Nhazeru:
..

Stop wasting your time on that one. That dude has comprehension issues, he clearly doesn't know that telling someone 'you are beautiful' is different from telling them ' I love you'

What is the difference?
Is that not why we have love language? Common sense should tell you that ,the way we express love differs.
Why are you trying to impose your fantasies on others?
Most of you are so daft that you write useless things.
You are the one who have sense no of assimilation.
Perhaps,the effort you use to waste your Live nairaland should be channeled on how to broaden your horizons.
Fake nonenties.

Clement1111:
Everybody is watching that moniker abuse everyone here cus of Adekunle and his fellow Islanders won't call him to order until people start returning the fire

That's when those Islanders will start saying one stupid love and light shit here

Shut up your rotten hands. You have made baseless and stupid comments here for the past few weeks and some of us have ignored morons like you.
Less than ten persons are always active on this thread while most are passive participants.
If you typed any useless and baseless opinion about Adekunle, except a drawn out from me.
Irritants!

Edu93:
Nothing wrong in complementing your so called girlfriend once in while na.
And Venita is very pretty so Ade has no excuses not to....
Haa

what do you mean by "complement"?
There is no straight line on how to use those words and there are variations to it.
So to you saying "I love you" is the only way of acknowledging someone in a relationship.
Okay.

Nhazeru:


Someone that has never opened his mouth to admire his so called girlfriend. I have never seen or heard him tell Venbitter she's beautiful upon how cute that lady is

If not that you are inherently insecure and dirty minded or probably surfering from delusions and fantasies.
So you except someone to profess love to another person within a space of two months on live T.V.
By the way ,do you watch this show twenty four hours to show that he did not do that.
Very unrealistic and odourous comment.

Tatiana4u:

If he was such a nice guy,nothing would have attracted him to a vile person like Venita!
No wonder they couldn’t have a decent conversation except gossiping and slandering others!
I saw it o!
He kept interrupting her and making her look bad before Ebuka who stylishly shut him up!
He kept interrupting others and putting words into their mouths!
Cross really surprised me that night!
He saw through his bullshit and called him out!
Wasn’t he the one who told the house that Baye stole Alex’s coins?
That guy is very wicked!

What a useless post? I don't give a damn about your useless baye but instead of you to focus on her morons like you will be picking issues with other housemates.
Are you people mad? Seems you want people to worship her .
By the way, what is your business with Adekunle's relationship with anyone in the house.
At least,he has behaved well so far unlike the spoilt brat you support.
Stupid fans.
Most of you will not end well.
