"Aisha Buhari Launches Training Programme For 200 Women In Kastina"

This headline reminds me of Tony Akiotu. He always pronounced Katsina as "Kastina".

Aha! Your comment already points to the cold war I was referring to.

Are you saying this Pharm.D degree will be given to those who studied Pharmacy up to doctorate level by undertaking masters along the way too or just someone who did a bachelor's degree of say 5-6 years studying Pharmacy, cos that's what majority on this thread are making me believe with their celebration as we know medical docs don't have to do a doctorate degree to be addressed as Dr. If what you're saying here is the case, then I don't see a reason for confusion you're talking about cos you'll be referred to as a Dr as far as you have a doctorate degree regardless of field even if it's in Yoruba Language.

A person with a doctorate degree in yoruba does not practice in a hospital.

(According to some doctors) there are many nigerians who are not very well educated and when they are ill they go to a doctor for treatment. These people will be confused when they see another healthcare worker who is also called Dr *** and might believe that he is a medical doctor.

is NMA the body which determine the standard of education?

There's been a cold war between medical doctors and pharmacists in Nigeria over this issue. The pharmacists want their members that have doctorate degrees to be called doctors, while the medical doctors do not want them to be called doctors because it would confuse the patients.

Will NMA allow them to be called doctors?

If he is serious he knows what to do.
Meanwhile what has his twitter account to do with this thread and the OP?

1) Can you tell us that thing that you know that he should do?

If you read the Premium Times link, you would see that he has reported the matter to the security agencies and asked them to fish out the perpetrators. What else do you want him to do?

2) Can't you see that the creator of this thread posted an image of that twitter account and a link to the account, thereby misleading people into believing that it's Obasanjo's account, or don't you know that he is thus aiding and abetting an impersonator?

Why is he simply threatening rather than actually ~~prosecuting~~ filing civil charges of libel etc against them?

Do you know the names, addresses, etc of the people behind these accounts?

By the way, some of these accounts (fake accounts of Obasanjo, Soyinka, SLS) have been closed by Twitter, but new ones are being created everyday.

Visit this link and answer your questions by yourself it is not twitter we are talking about here.

http://www.thetrentonline.com/met-3-7-billion-reserve-buhari-met-30-billion-obasanjo-8/?utm_campaign=shareaholic&utm_medium=facebook&utm_source=socialnetwork

How does that link prove that it is his Twitter account? He has repeatedly said that he is not on twitter, Facebook and instagram and he has threatened to have those who are masquerading as him prosecuted.

Therefore, it's false and misleading information to present that handle as his.
Read this link.

Politics › Re: Innoson Motors Visit Joe Abah Who Raised Alarm About Their Products by naptu2: 4:51am On Sep 16, 2016

1) Dr Joe Abah was actually appointed by President Goodluck Jonathan in 2013.

2) Dr Joe Abah is not a politician. He is actually a civil servant (He is the director general of the Bureau of Public Service Reforms. He was appointed to that position by Goodluck Jonathan in 2013). He is not a member of APC or PDP.

3) He was one of the people that hyped Innoson vehicles on Twitter (years ago), so there's nothing wrong if he makes his complaints at the exact same place that he praised the product.

4) His complaints have yielded fruit. Innoson officials have visited him to rectify the problem.

Mustay:
Thank you naptu2 for your objectivity. These days, some of us comment either cheekily or out of ignorance. It is always nice to see someone who enlightens people rather than tag along with the picture bandwagon. Well, this is politics for you and my reference to cheekiness - APC in the premium times link raised alarm on the practice based on partisanship and 'tagging' the populace along their storyline. However, they were right to point out that the masked men were being 'misused'.

That's precisely why I posted that link. PDP members were defending the use of masked security men in 2014, while APC members were opposed to it. Then, in 2016 an APC member is being guarded by masked security men, while PDP members are opposed to it.

In the case of Fayose before the election, Any individual who can afford extra security I believe is allowed if agreed by the government but why would a man who was loved and could walk freely about before he became governor now be so scared of thesame people he claims to be governing. I know you are taking Fayose's case personal because you obviously don't like him but there are still apc governors like Ambose, Ajimobi and even Aragbeses...who interact with their people.
I keep wandering why a governor will be so scared of the governed. Am sure if you have a fight with your dad, he doesn't come to anywhere you are close by with his kings men armed to the teeth. Please don't come up with the excuse that the home front is a different front because a good leader doesn't fear those he leads so also a good father doesn't fear his chiLdren.

1) What makes you think I like Governor Yahaya Bello? My argument is not based on whether I like anyone or not, it's based on principle.

2) Those masked security men that guarded Fayose before the elections were not private security guards. The government stated that they were SSS operatives, so it's not a case of him having money to hire masked private security guards.

3) Did you not hear that the governor was attacked when he went to the mosque a few weeks ago? That's what created the situation that you aptly described, that is, "an erratic situation in which anything can happen" and his security team had to be beefed up with a counter assault team.

4) Having a counter assault team with members who wear balaclavas has nothing to do with whether you are loved by the people or not. The are bad people in every country who would like to take out public officials, therefore they must be protected. Would you say that Dora Akunyili was attacked because she is not loved by the people? Or would you say she had police protection because she was not loved by the people? The truth is that the people know what to do if there's a public official that they do not like and that is to vote him out.

Below, a member of the US Secret Service Counter Assault Team outside the White House. Note that he is wearing a balaclava.

During the election is an eratic moment and anything can happen. Since the people elected him, @least we see him felicitating with them on the street. The people equally elected bello of kogi state (@least there was a make up election in his case) why is he still parabulating with balaclava wearing security operatives? I wonder why a governor should be afraid of those he governs... any answer please?

"During the election is an eratic moment and anything can happen." And in the case of Bello, that anything has happened, which is probably why his security team was reinforced with a counter-assault team. Members of counter assault teams, special forces and SWAT teams wear balaclavas so that you cannot identify them, so that they can also operate undercover without their identities being compromised and to prevent reprisal attacks against them.

(Remember that Fayose was not even a governor when he was first guarded by those masked security men). Fayose was guarded by masked security men during the elections because, as you said, it "is an eratic moment and anything can happen." He is not currently being guarded by masked security men. Similarly, Yahaya Bello was not guarded by masked security men before the attack on him, but he is currently being guarded by masked security men because he was attacked which has created "an eratic moment and anything can happen." It depends on the threat assessment.

So I heard o. So it was true?

Armed robbers invaded her house at night. The matter was reported to the police. The police later caught the robbers and they confessed that they carried out the robbery and raped someone while they were in the house (the police were surprised because only the robbery was reported to them). Tokunboh Ajai was later found dead in her flat in London.
