ASUU then NLC strike after they've all collected October salaries.. It's ok.

The big question is 'is Nigeria rich enough to meet the demands of these Unions?

My answer is NO!

My friend, the answer is YES. Nigeria is rich enough to meet any demand whatsoever by the citizens. The corruption in high places, the incredulous salary allocated to politicians and lack of political will are the reasons we are in this sorry state as a nation.

I will give you a call today. Thank you for your reply.

Good day people. Where can I get to buy ABS for Toyota Avensis 2009/2010. Thank you for lending a helping hand.

Does this come with stylus pen or not?

Nigeria is a banana republic. SMH

Ok nah....let the work begin

Leadership in medical care is professionalism...weldone medical doctors!!

Very Neat used car...happy sale.

This machine is in Nigeria for a long time now.
One guy named "velocity" owns it and he uses it to patch roads along Osun/Ekiti axis.

I will vote for PMB if he can turn around the country in 2018.
If not, I will be neutral bcause, i can't vote for Atiku, he is very desperate for that position!
Changing party up and down. Kilode!!!

If these pictures are real, then this is very commendable!

gbolah1:
Senator Ajimobi’s government is suffering from information dissemination malady. Please overlook my Zebrudaya grammar, it’s only because I am angry with the Oyo state government media team, seriously angry.

Whatever the governor does, good or bad, he is left alone in the cold to defend himself to the extent that one is tempted to think they are planted there by opposition to work at cross roads with their boss.

 

Otherwise, while would a very laudable move like the Ibadan chieftaincy commission that should earn the governor accolades  across the city turn round to be an albatross hanging precariously on his neck, if the government has a capable media team.


Ibadan

With all the plethora of media personnel, from the commissioner to senior sepecial assist, special assistant, senior media adviser, media adviser, media consultants and officers, the government media presence is almost nonexistent.

Yet, it didn’t start today. At times, I wonder whether the governor does not know his media team is so alarmingly weak or he simply let them be.

Ibadans are really angry on this chieftaincy matter and the anger is deep, no thanks to lack of information by the government. The people see it as an affront to their culture and Oba not an elevation and modernisation as the government intended.

Had this been properly explained to the people, what should normally have engraved Ajimobi’s name in Gold would not have turned out to be a huge liability on his political balance sheet. Indeed, the media team has successfully tuned a gold medal to an also ran.

Like I said, it didn’t start today.

First, the 5billion naira his wife was allegedly caught with in London during his first term. I took it as what it was a palm wine bar gossip in Oje or Beere but was shocked when a level 12 officer in the ministry was asserting it with all vehemence in my office.

Won ti ko owo wa lo tan, won mu iyawo re pelu 5 billion. They have stolen all our money. They caught his wife with 5Billion. I said 5 billion? Yes 5 billion cash with all emphasis she relied.

Then I said, which Airport, Heathrow or Gatwick? Won sa mu. They caught her.  Why was the woman not taken to court because in England nobody gets away with an offence like that-money laundering. Won ti fowo pari e. They settled them with money.

I ignored her but she went ranting and when she was getting too much on my nerves I decided to pick her up.

Madam, you said 5 billion? Yes 5 billion cash. I said I am sure you know what a billion is? Before it came out of my mouth, she said yes, 5 atofo mesan. 5 and nine zeros. I said yes .

Madam as a level 12 officer, you sure know what 100 thousand is, to which she replied a pack of 1000 notes and quickly added that 10 of which make a bundle of 1million.


Ajimobi

Then I said a billion will be a thousand of that and that 5 billion will be 5 thousand of it. She nodded her head. It was then I went for her jugular.

Madam, how many trunks would contain that amount of money, 10 at least? Even n dollars it would be some boxes.  And you think Ajimobi will risk ferrying 10 trunks of cash though Murtala airport under a PDP government and went ahead to rail them through Heathrow airport. I don’t think the Senator would be so daft.

She went cold having realised the foolishness of her assertion? The lady did not alter any more word and was gentle like water in a bowl till she left my office.

Now, did I have to do that when there is a media team for the governor? They left him alone struggling to defend what ordinary should have been waived off by a media officer with sound logic, yet it was in the air for months.

Now the guy is making roads which are not costing peanuts.

From Gate to Adegbayi, from Oke- Adu to Gate, from Idi Ape to Barracks gate along Olonda road and one other.

People are grumbling everywhere. Who sent him to build roads, after all people are still using the existing ones?

There is communication hiatus. Nobody is telling them that people spend as much as 3 hours on busy days on the stretch from Idi-Ape to Ojunrin.

Nobody is educating them to the effect that vehicle staying on the road without moving end up damage the road. They are not being informed that vehicles do not like idling. Nobody tells them that traffic grid lock means more fuel consumption. In all, nobody is tells them the cost implications of all these.  Is it my job to do this. You know the answer.

Fayose’s all boys children are out there spending money like water but somehow he gets the press silent about it. The news you hear about them is the one who graduated from Covenant University which his media team turned into Michel Jackson best hit-bluer than blue.

You see, Fayoses children are schooling in Nigeria unlike APC kids. Of course, some of us rubbished that. If Fayose wants to be a role model he should have sent the boy to the University at Ado-Ekiti. In any case, Covenant University is as expensive as a low-fee- University in London. Perhaps the guy could not even meet the admission requirements.

 

In Ibadan, Ajimobi’s daughter’s attempt to defend his father when some nincompoops were abusing him was turned against the governor and went viral like a flash. The man was left alone to wriggle out with no noticeable support from his media team or did I miss something.

Back to this Ibadan chieftaincy declaration brouhaha. I have tried to engage some Ibadan indigenes on this twice and I am convinced that if this had been explained to them, it would have turned out a success and Ajimobi would be smelling of roses.

Our discussion went something like this.

Why would Ibadan be different I asked them. See, in Ijebu, Awujale is sitting there in all his majesty, while Ijebu-Igbo, Ago- Iwoye, Odogbolu, Ikenne and many big towns with paramount rulers are each a maximum of 20 minutes away from Ijebu-Ode and all Ijebus know their number one king. Oh, No. that is their culture, Ours is different, they answered.

Ok, what of Egba? Abeokuta is not half of Ibadan yet they have 5 paramount rulers in the same town. Osile of Oke-Ona, Olowu of Owu, Onigbagura of Gbagura andOlu of Ibara with Alake of Egbaland as the first among equals. No that is Egba not Ibadan, they chorused.

I am proudly Ekiti and feel so good as an Ibadan boy, my sate does not have as many vehicles as Egbeda and Lagelu combined yet we have a king almost every 10 kilometre, I preferred.

For effect I added. Guru Mahraji to Moniya will take you about 60 minutes drive by which period a crazy driver would have gotten to  Osu or Ilesha in Osun state. Yes that is their own, Ibadan is different, it is our culture. They cannot do this with the emirs.

I reminded them that in recent History Abacha dethroned a reigning Sultan. Babangida banned the emir of Kano and Ooni of Ife from travelling out for 6 months, we still drank our Akamu the following day, I replied. They accepted.

What do you call culture? It evolves and never static I said. At a time if you had twins you better let nobody know. Now, people have quadruplets and even ask the government to take then over their feeding.

At a time in Yoruba land, when an Oba died, you had to burry some people with him but today nobody dares. Before, the king would just take anybody’s wife and add to the harem in his yard without anybody as much as lifting a finger. If a king does that today, he will stand in the box with his crown and beads. They listened and I went for the icing on the cake.


ooni Ogunwusi

Ok gentlemen you want Ibadan state? Yes why not. Ok, if the government approves it for you tomorrow you will accept? Yes of course they chorused giving a look like what is this fool asking us. Who will refuse a state?

Now, by next week the president says he wants all first class Obas from the South West in Abuja. EKiti goes with 20, Osun has 20, Ogun goes with19. Eko has 15, Ondo flies in with 21 and the new Ibadan state goes with 1, does it not seem like something is wrong somewhere ? Silence. End of argument.

This is what the media team should have done. A one hour questions and answers time with a top Ibadan man or woman in government on the radio and TV with all stations anchoring would have done the job.

Before we are through with this, there is one very important aspect of the declaration which many people missed out because nobody told them- the average age at which the Olubadan ascends the throne.

They all get there aged because of the many rungs on the ladder they have to climb. At that age they have lost the vigour and strength to be effective.

Government says the ladder will be shortened so that an Olubadan will ascend the throne younger with more strength to do the job. The Ifes went for the younger Ogunwusi instead of his father because he is still young. If his father had been chosen, it is doubtful if he would have been as active as the younger one.

The way out is to explain this issue to the Ibadan people and let them know they have much to gain in this declaration. You cannot force it down their throat.


Oloye Lekan Alabi

There is no way they will get a state with one King and it pays them to have a young Olubadan as against the octogenarians they end with all the time.

If the media team cannot do this, let the Governor flush them out and bring fresh hand. Or, they go to Lagos government and study how they do it there.  Alternatively, the governor should organise a seminar for them on ‘ how a governor enjoys a good press’.

I am sure you are a very well educated individual but alas i am surprised you are putting out misinformation and hogwash in a blatant careless way. All your arguments are baseless and unfounded; to say the least, absolutely myopic and ignorant.
Do you realise the fact that whatever the governor is dong is part of his job description? His "work" should be his media release not by shouting on top of the roof with a gramophone. If i have to remind you, Ambode of Lagos state and Amosun of Ogun state are doing far better job than Ajimobi of Oyo state and do you want to know that i have not seen any propaganda media project on their work. So why should a media team be Ajimobi's succor if he has done very well. Let his "hand work" speak and people will judge him. Mind you, it is when a person is not equal to a position that he shouts "i have done this, i have done that". let the people that he governs speak for him and let his work make the people speak not his media propaganda team.
Coming to the issue of Ibadan chieftaincy debacle. The governor has committed a grieve error of judgement. You don't wake up one day and scatter a century old tradition. It is sacrilegious. it is scandalous and unwarranted. This is a fiasco!!!
You mentioned the Ijebus, Ekitis and Egbas as examples. It shows that you are bereft of the history and traditions of the Yoruba people and it is sad coming from a Yoruba man like yourself.
For the records, the kings in Ijebuland and Ekitiland are stand alone Kings. They had been royalties from time immemorial. They had presided over stand alone towns or villages, as the case maybe, for centuries and their case is different from Ibadan's case. Iyin-Ekiti, Igede, Aramoko, Ado, Ifaki, Ido, Otun, Ijero, Aye, Usi, Emure, Ikere, Okemesi, Ekiti-isu, Ikole, Oye; all had had Kings for centuries and can trace their roots to Oduduwa. Vis-a-vis Ijebuland. THEY ARE NOT CONSTITUTIONAL MADE KINGS, THEY ARE PARAMOUNT RULERS!!!
Egbaland has its own peculiarities. History and migration made 5 paramount kings to coalesce in Abeokuta. Those 5 kings are not constitutional kings, they are paramount rulers in Yoruba land. You also need to update your history. Alake is of Akeland and not of Egbaland. Infact if you need to know, Olowu of Owu is far ahead of Alake of Akeland in the hierachry of Yoruba kings. Like Senator Ajimobi is doing to the Ibadan chieftaincy now, that is what the British did to Abeokuta by elevation of a non-royal stool in the Yoruba land (Alake of Akeland) to the position of the paramount ruler of Egbaland. All the rest 4 kings in Abeokuta can trace their root to Oduduwa (one way or another) but Alake cannot because he is not!
Elevation of High chiefs to Obaship has no place in Yorubaland and it is forbidden except in Ile-Ife in wish case it is allowed because of the ascension to the throne of Ooni by Oduduwa. Atleast they have towns where they head in Ile-Ife, where do these High chiefs in Ibadan head except their respective families (as Mogaji)?
If the governor has elevated the Baales of the surrounding towns and villages in Ibadan to Obaship, that would have made a lot of common sense but doing the contrary is akin to thinking with once feet and moreover, looks like a politicised move and vendetta.
Enough said and a word is enough for the wise! Thank you

From real life cases.
Case number 1
Nigerian girl, gets sick, goes to pharmacist or chemist.
Girl: I am having pain in my abdomen.
Pharm/Chemist : is it serious?
Girl - yes.
Pharm- oya take these drugs.
Girl goes home. Takes drugs. 3 days later pain is becoming more serious. Goes to the lab.
Lab Scientist, collects blood, stool, and urine. After some hours.
Lab Scientist: You have severe malaria, typhoid, hepatitis and worm. Oya take these drugs.
Girl goes home and takes drugs. 3 days later she goes to school, during the first lecture she collapsses. They carry her to hospital.
Doctor examines patient. She is paper white with distended abdomen. Doctor taps abdomen and gets blood. Calls parents. 'She has ruptured ectopic pregnancy'. They rush her to the theater and she survives by the whiskers.
Case number 2.
Nigerian girl feeling sick. Goes to chemist. I have pain in my lower abdomen.
Chemist: since when?
Girl: 5 days, but getting more serious.
Chemist: when is your last menses.
Girl: am on it now.
Chemist: I see. You must be having menstrual pains. Oya take these drugs.
Girl goes home, takes drugs. 5 days later, still having abdominal pains, now with fever and vomiting. Mother takes girl to the lab.
Lab Scientist collects stool, urine and blood. Some hours later.
Lab Scientist to mother: 'she has malaria and typhoid with hepatitis'. Scribbles prescription. 'Let her take these drugs'.
4 days later, girl cannot get off the bed. They rush her to the hospital. Doctor sees girl, requests ultrasound. Result - ruptured appendix.
Girl rushed to the theater and survives after almost 3 weeks hospital stay.
Case number 3.
Boy having abdominal pain. Goes to chemist.
Boy: I have pain in my stomach.
Pharmacist: OK. Take these drugs.
Boy goes home, takes drugs. Pain goes, resurfaces after 2 weeks, goes again, pharmacist gives more drugs, pain goes, appears again in three weeks with passage of dark stools.
Boy goes to the lab. Lab Scientist collects blood, stool, and urine. After some time......
Lab Scientist: you have malaria, typhoid, hepatitis and ulcer. Scribbles some prescriptions.
Boy goes home, takes drugs, feels better dark stool disappears.
3 weeks later boy vomits blood, rushed to the hospital. Doctor sees boy, requests for tests including ultrasound and endoscopy. Result: stomach cancer.
Morals of the stories.
1. Lab Scientists, nurses and pharmacists are not doctors. They are not trained to diagnose and PRESCRIBE drugs.
2. Doctors should not be the last to be consulted when ill. Don't wait until the case becomes complicated. You may not just be saving your life, you could also be saving money from unnecessary tests and useless drugs.
3. If for any reason you take over the counter drugs and symptoms persist after 2 days, go see a doc.
4. If you are pregnant you have no business taking drugs not prescribed by a doctor.

God bless

Hello Mr Gazzuzz. I need to change the engine of my 2007 hyundai elantra 2.0. I want it done by you. How much should I be looking at pls. Thks

Hmmm...honest seller...I like doing business with people like you!

is this car hybrid?

I am offering 2M and picking it by Wednesday. Ok?

Nice car. still available? One question. ..why is the steering wheel different from the common one of its generation.

Dhimmy:
Goodday everyone. Please does anyone know about TRUCARE fertility centre in V.I Lagos? I learnt they are doing promo. Pls how good are they? I need a good centre with good success rate, not too expensive, in Lagos. Thanks all. May God grant our heart desires

I will advise you not to get treated with trucare at this moment. They used to be good but are now very sloppy. All pple I advised to try with them recently have been negative. Their promo this time has also been a disaster. You may want to give them sometime to rearrange themselves. Their MD needs to be very much on ground for me to advise you to try with them. Baby dust to you

It depends on where you work but the range is btw 400k to 750k. Most FG of Nigeria hosp pay 600k and above e.g. FMC and teaching hospital and they are mostly in the middle belt and Northern Nigeria. Why is this so is because their CMDS are not corrupt like we have in the southern part of Nigeria. But note OAUTHC CMD is the only non-corrupt in the south of Nigeria. That man is a good man. Those that pay para-400k are mostly in the south and are mostly state govt and private medical schools. However the best paying private medical school is Babcock and it is around 550k (that is why the produce good medical students and good hospital care). Most Lagos State consultant earn 400k-450k per month. But in lagos they increase their pay via private practice so you hardly see them complain but you won't see them at their govt work often and this affect govt hosp patient care.
So if u want to earn enough as a medical consultant with just 1 job, try and fine a work in a FG hosp most probably in the northern part of Nigeria. If you can combine 2 or 3 jobs you may want to remain anywhere.

"his" not "is"
Make the correction ASAP

It is former not formal.....Correct as appropriate. But wait a minute, is English such a difficult language to understand or I am missing something here

Hello house,
I am in the process of buying a Nigerian used toyota avensis 2010 or 2011 for school runs because i feel it is a strong car for the possible.
What do you honestly think is the true value? because i see some prices online which i think are incredibly too expensive!!
honest opinions will be appreciated.
thanks

my questions;
1. are these companies under NNPC or stand alone company?
2. is this a PPE or a solely private company working for NNPC?
THANK YOU FOR YOUR RESPONSE..

@OP so sorry about your situation but i can assure you it is not a bad one. you can still travel to the UK atleast when you did the not so legal sending your passport to nigeria, biometric was not in use. so you are somehow safe!
Now what i think you should do is to find your way to the UK (legally pls) or you wait till your wife and child can get their papers sorted to be able to travel out of Europe or you get your papers and applications right and get to meet your family in one of those European countries where the shengen visa can get you to even if it is for 3 weeks.
Pray about it and do the needful, legally, and i am sure you will see your family very very soon.
All the best

All these thieves are Yorubas but you will NEVER see any of us (Yorubas)wailing in support of these kleptomaniacs. Looting is stealing and our culture frowns at this act EVEN if it is committed by our own.......unlike those shameless people that embrace all sorts of vices for the sake of "he is our Son". Very shameful folks indeed! !

I give this to the yorubas on nairaland not crying foul; they dont condone corruption despite the fact that all the mentioned names are yoruba officers!
Kudos...! but wait ooo, these officers are real armed robbers!
