This initiative was the brain child of a private organisation and they partnered with the Government and Landmark to set up the centre. Their goal was to help the government in the early stage of the crisis while the government expands its own facilities. It was a temporary and emergency arrangement which has come to an end. Any patients that are still there will be transfered to other facilities across the state. justified007: Ayor93: donbachi: Bluntemperor: |
Ishilove:It's a partnership between Landmark Village (the people that own the place that the centre was located), Young Presidents Association (who provided the equipment and some of the staff) and the Lagos State Government (who are the regulators). The agreement was billed to last for 3 months and it is already 3 months so it has expired. |
A young guy graduates from Uni and moves to New York to take up a job offer. He gets to New York and discovers that the company that gave him the job has been taken over and he is fired before he even started. He begs his uncle for a job and he is given a job in the mailroom. So how does he go from being a lowly employee to being a senior executive and ousting the CEO in just 2 weeks? Well that's The Secret of My Success (1987). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGHDATIJIX8

(I'm trying really hard to resist the urge to include the Eddie Murphy movies in this series). What happens when 2 teenaged boys create the girl of their dreams and then, by a freak accident (or weird science) the girl actually comes to life? Well find out in this fantastic and hilarious movie. P.s. I've just discovered (decades after watching the movie for the first time) that Robert Downey Jr was in this movie. Weird Science (1985). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qd04u2Yj44

Right, so where were we? Tom Cruise is a teenage kid from a wealthy family. He is very intelligent and he usually gets good grades, but his life is kind of boring. His parents go on holiday and he is home alone, so his friend encourages him to have some fun for once. What happens when he takes his dad's Porsche for a cruise and it mistakenly ends up in a lake? How does he raise the money that he needs to fix the car before his dad returns? Well, he raises the money by engaging in risky business of course. Risky Business (1983). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JXcqzJjHf0

This is where it all started.

Let's see if I can remember what started everything. Some Igbo men said that they will never allow their mothers to remarry after their fathers die. One of them wrote about the things that he would do to his mother if she dares remarries. I think Noble Igwe was engaged in a conversation with someone and she said something to the effect that this is what Igbo men do, so he created his own thread about what Igbo women do (in order to highlight the danger of generalisation).
|
Read my explanation above and then read these 2 paragraphs from his thread if you want to understand what he is getting at. In conclusion, any gender can hold any agenda. While some of our concerns are true, the real change comes from doing and not holding the sins of fathers over all Igbo men. Discuss issues as it relates to particular people, communities, villages and the Igbo land at large. |

bukatyne:The point he was trying to make is that negative stereotypes lead to stigmatisation of people, which is why people who tweeted "Men are scum" were offended when he tweeted "Igbo women are lazy". How do you feel about the stereotype that "Nigerians are fraudsters" and how do you feel if it affects you when you go abroad? |
The thread is a response to generalisations like: All men are scum. All Fulani are killers All Nigerians are fraudsters. Etc. He is saying that generalisations are bad. It worked because a lot of the people that always tweet "Men are scum" were offended by his generalisation that "Igbo women are lazy". (He was responding to another tweet that stereotyped men. The person that made that tweet deleted it after Noble Igwe created his thread).
