snowdrops: This is one of the best thread ever on NL

Bravo OP.

Beaf: Quite clearly, NL has become an official engine to create falsehoods and launch personal attacks.
Every id!otic thread makes it to the front page.

Shame on the moderators and their toilet floor standards.

Pathetic.

HNosegbe: So because I asked a simple question as to the legality of his action, I am now spewing BS? That's the problem with Nigerians, accepting everything they hear hook, line and sinker.

ifihearam: What rubbish
Is the immortalisation not enough for u guys?

snoopy: I can see a lot of people are taking this issue the wrong way. First I start with those who say its just a name and nothing more. what is in a name? A lot is in a name. In our African setting, people assign names to their Children based on religious, philosophical or cultural affiliations and the name is believed in some cases to have a significant influence on the destiny of that child. Not a few have attributed the current political success of GEJ to his name "goodluck"
Now Unilag is more than just "a name". Its a brand identity that has been worked on for over 50 years and over this period attached class, panache and international recognition to this brand and to just wake up one morning and kill it all without recourse to the school authorities and governing council is just wrong and undemocratic! MKO abiola is a revered individual and deserves to be honoured but there are better ways of doing so and not in a manner that is in sharp contrast to his cause and recognition which the "surface motive" of this ill-adviced move is hinged on ( I call it surface motive because I see a lot of political colouration to score cheap points within).
Why would people like iyabo obasanjo-bello refuse to rescind their maiden names completely? Simply because of the brand that name has created. A name which can instantly fetch her respect and favours whenever and wherever she mentions it.
Pls its easy to judge from one angle when not on the harsh receiving end of a policy. Take time out and see things from the other angle and see if its indeed worth killing a name built for 50 years over cheap politics!

Deep Sight: The President is the VISITOR of the University of Lagos. From the way you write though, I doubt you will understand what that role infers.

ba_aliyah: I grew up to know MKO as a pillar of sports in Africa. He also had a football team. In my opinion Abuja National stadium should have been named after the man.
Naming a school after him is not bad but the choice of UNILAG is good enough

jmoore: Who cares about who employs you. Do it and build your own empire!!!

texazzpete: To Fashola, the doctors are not indispensable. he can easily afford to send his family overseas to treatment.

To ordinary Lagosians, these doctors are indispensable. Go and find out how many people are happy about the strike situation.

Secondly, you end up parroting the same imbecilic statements that have no iota of common sense. The doctors don't want to earn more than councillors. The Lagos state doctors just want to earn THE SAME as their federal counterparts at LUTH.

Is that REALLY so hard for you to understand?!

But how can the doctors insist on earning what the federal government doctors earn? how do they expect states to match up with the federal government when the federal government earns 56% (or 54%, I'm not so sure of this figure is correct but either of them is) of the total revenue generated in the country and the rest is left for 36 states and 778 local government to share. it is unrealistic.

That's why i have always hold that true federalism and not disolving the country is part of the solution to our problem. I just wonder when workers in different states compare what their counterpart in other states earn as their point of agitation, particularly federal government workers. By the way, how can it be the duty of the federal government to peg minimum wage? let each state pay according to what she can afford.




Far more people live when Doctors work. They cannot do miracles and they will not save everyone. But if you sincerely believe this statement you made above, well, let us pray that whenever you fall ill there will NEVER be any doctors to attend to you. Afterall, you say they are useless, right?




On top of rank cowardice, many Nigerians sadly are not very intelligent. You're a prime example. The welfare (and thus motivation) of a doctor is a critical item that affects all the patients he sees. A calm, settled and happy doctor is less likely to make errors, more likely to pay attention to each patient and should be much more focused on the job. Tell me again how this does not affect people.

egift: On a lighter note...would you prefer...



On a serious note...Respect is earned...Until the following start, don't expect it to end anytime soon:
- Jonathan should stop lying, vowing, pretending, and making promises he is not ready to do anything about.
- He needs to stop shielding [/b]terror sponsors, criminals, looters, [b]law-breakers, thugs, sycophants, etc. Prosecute them all. (Transparently, swiftly, and within the provisions of the law - bring all the proves - not Dokpesi SMS on NTA )
- Stop anti-people policies. Do things that truly uplift the people. Billion and trillions missing and nothing happening can only make things worst.

This could be a good start. Hope that helps the Fisherman/Zoo-keeper?

Bontee: So na when oil spilliage reach lagos before fahola go raise alarm? , what about the oil spilliage for niger delta since all these years?. Well i will say welcome to the party as these oil companies will not care to clean anything self since they have been getting away with it in niger-delta. Next time we will try to join others in fighting the common enemy before it gets to our door steps, well lagos good morning oooo.

Akiika: Now i understand we have a bigger problem than the bad leaders sef. See how common Nigerians are reasoning!
Person block road and he no even get driver's license and y'all think he should be let go? For your info., if you don't have a common auto insurance here in Houston and you are pulled over by the police.....you get handcuffed and straight to jail before you even get charged to court. This is how the societies you are lining up to obtain their visa works. Even if it's strange to you, at least you all watch all kinds of American TV series and they act some of these things. Na wah o!....what's dictatorship in that? is he the judge that translated the law and set the bail condition? abeg make we dey think before we hit that keyboard or keypad.

Emperoh: Can't you guys read?
This was held INSIDE HIS COMPOUND.
How does this translate to[b] PUBLIC[/b]

aguiyi: ^^^ just like that?

in our own case, we requested for account number and insisted on paying into the govt account directly. the cheque is still with us as the account number given is that of ministry of environment and not health

Gov. Fashola, i must admit, is one helluva smart politician.

Sisi_Kill: When they were not on strike. . . weren't people still dying?

Using panadol to treat stroke.

Trojavirus: People say NIM is useless because employers do not ask for it then what will you say about the teeming unemployed graduates in Nigeria, does that make Bsc, Btech etc useless? Do not ask where you can work with NIM certificate but ask what work you can provide with the knowlege you gain from NIM. It is all about becoming a manager, an enterprenuer that will provide jobs for those with ''employe me'' mentality.

KINGwax: you knw, i wld have loved to click on your link and take part in the survey but d link puts me off. 'Survey monkey?' i knw say na one white dude help u develope that thing and whether na u or white man, both of you no go die well. If u use another name for your link, e no go work? God punish all of una. Go jungle find monkey do una survey na!

djustice: While the ACN Lagos State [/b]spread lies and propaganda all over the place, the doctors are getting juicy offers from private hospitals, other states and the Federal Ministry of Health. Let them keep deceiving themselves while the gullible sheep they're killing with taxes continue to cheer them on, as they die like flies due to the senseless sacking of the doctors.

[b]Power show will end soon, when people begin to realise that up to 50% of those doctors are already in other jobs, with a good number going abroad, where they paid much better. Better go and sign up with the nearest herbalist. Awon oponu buruku.

allycat: The story is incomplete without the list of the private hospitals that are to provide free treatment. Get the list and publish it complete with the a dresses and contact phone numbers. If people do not know how to access this free service then it is pure propaganda.

Ayatullah: You people should leave the woman alone. . . . . . .it could happen to anyone and for God sake what of notable players that blow their nose on the pitch while matches are on and rub their hand on their jersey?

rekeson: pls house, i want to know how relevant the NYSC NIM is. Do employers actually regard it? Is it a standard NIM certificate which can boost my CV? Pls i need responses from those who have adequate knowledge of the subject matter. Am skepticalon taking the exam this June.

Baba_O: It is either u are an arm robber that don't want armed robberies put to an end or you are a stark illiterate of the issue. If u are talking of using it as political weapon against opposition or federal govt, is the military not under the federal govt to curb their excesses?, just Gej rolling out millitary during subsidy protest in Lagos

careytommy: My sincere condolence
