Abia1stboy:
Any news on our Abia state? The state is now worse than shithole .

Please stop mentioning that shithole state here.

Another useless thread. Spyder088 aka ckenneths, zukwanu ike for once. Tufia

Why including Abia state in this oath? Why should Abia state people pay for the fallout in this oath? It is bad enough that Abians are suffering from the bad governance occasioned by these same evil men, but they are to be part of the consequences of the oath fallout.

Read the part marked in pink.

Abia1stboy:
It is only pigs that live in Abia state. No sane human being can live here. I have since left the shithole even though it is my state

Abia state is a national disgrace

While contemplating airport when the whole of Abia state is shithole.

Federal High Court in Abuja has granted a request to compel the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) to among others, investigate the administration of Rochas Okorocha as Imo State Governor.

Justice Ahmed Mohammed, in a ruling on 3rd March, 2020, granted leave for the applicants – Incorporated Trustees of Kingdom Human Rights Foundation International and Rights for All International to proceed with their case.





Justice Mohammed ordered the applicants to serve a copy of the order granting them leave and other substantive documents in the suit on the defendants.

The judge adjourned till March 17 for hearing.

Joined in the suit are the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC), Okorocha, Zigreat International Company Limited, Eze Stanley Enwereku and Duru Cyriacus Onyeobi.

The plaintiffs, in the suit marked: FHC/ABJ/CS/130/2020, filed by their lawyer, K. M. Okere, are seeking to compel the EFCC to investigate Okorocha and others over sundry allegations of financial impropriety while in office.

They claimed to have petitioned the EFCC in 2019, but alleged that the anti-graft agency had failed to act on the petition.

The plaintiffs stated that by their suit for judicial review, they asked the court to order the EFCC to “investigate the allegation of corruption, money laundering, inflated contract, unlawful award of contract without due process and breach of Procurement Act, criminal over-inflation of contracts fully paid for with public funds against the 2nd to the 5th defendants in this suit, as contained in the plaintiffs’ petition dated 22nd August 2019.”

Spider880 aka ckenneths, come read comments from your fellow Enugu state people. Your usual propaganda is like pouring water on a stone. People knows the shambolic condition of Enugu.

marshman293:
how long does it for the company to call you after your name is being sent to the company?

Send me your number so I can call or WhatsApp you.

This Google earth shows the entire Ibadan. It is very clear that Ibadan is a large scale slum. Plan less jungle

Lol he is even using Google earth to deceive himself with just one location at UNI. Show us large area view as this

Only a cave man that will call this a development. This is slum that requires demolition

totit:
I can you see uploading Ibadan of old with repetition.

Oya post the current outlook of this place if what I posted is old

mercyville:
Yes,this is the development.

Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland.

This is slum, not development. yorubaland is still in stone age

totit:
Ibadan ;

No doubt that is Ibadan, but the point is that 98% of Ibadan is littered with rustic brown roofs and mud houses

Ibadan should be the largest slum in Africa. Everywhere is littered with rustic brown roofs and mud houses. This is not development but slum.

I suggest that Ibadan should demolished if yorubas are sincere to themselves

mercyville:
Ibadan is more developed than the entire Igboland which is one massive IDP camp.
Stop comparing IDP camps with Ibadan.

Ejoor, is this the development you are yapping about? Ibadan is actually more developed in mud houses and rustic brown roofs

Everywhere you view Ibadan, it is the same thing. Incidentally this same slum development has spread to all yoruba states. Ibadan is the chairman in mud houses and rustic brown roofs

When you view ibadan from above, it is only the dilapidated high rise that one can see , others are shanties of mud houses and rustic brown roof.

My suggestion is that Ibadan should demolished to pave way for decent development. This is not development at all except yorubas are just deceiving themselves.

This gives you an overall view of Ibadan. Please is there another Ibadan apart from this? Ibadan can be categorized as a very big slum.

Anger control should be a thing we should learn

Following the detection of the first case of novel Coronavirus disease in Nigeria, and the placing in quarantine of the patient, identified as a 44-year-old Italian, at the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, Lagos (formerly, Infectious Diseases Hospital), a health worker at the hospital said on Friday that the patient was angry and had attempted to escape.

The patient had complained about the state of the isolation centre, our source said.

The high ranking health worker, who spoke to our correspondent on the condition of anonymity on Friday, decried the ‘very poor quality’ of the isolation centre, lamenting that “the authorities have not matched words with action.”

Deputy Governor of Lagos State, Obafemi Hamzat, had said on Friday that the state government had built a facility to handle the situation, adding that the patient was getting better.

Hamzat had said, “It is a lab that can accommodate 100 for now, but it is only one bed that is occupied today. Hopefully, it wouldn’t spread. We are ready and we are well equipped. He (the patient) is there and he is getting better. He is steady. The doctors say he is going to be fine.’’

But the health worker told our correspondent that the Coronavirus index case had been “very upset about the surrounding,” adding that the patient “complained of excessive heat and mosquitoes.”

In an interaction with our correspondent, the health worker, who did not wear any personal protective equipment required of workers in such an environment, said, “The patient wanted to run away yesterday (Thursday). The Italian man, who seems to be an engineer, was very angry that the room where he was kept was very hot.

“There is nothing there (inside the isolation ward) aside from bed and hospital locker. He almost ran away and is still threatening to do that.”

The source said the level of preparedness in Lagos State for infectious diseases such as coronavirus and Lassa fever “is zero.”

An online entry describes the Mainland Hospital, where the Italian is being quarantined, as “an ultra-modern multi-drug resistant tuberculosis treatment centre, with a 40-bed admission facility.”

Our source, who emerged from the Out Patient Department of the Mainland Hospital, Yaba, alleged that Lagos State did not have the facility to accommodate individuals who might have come in contact with the Italian.

According to the source, the facility that is meant to accommodate both suspected and confirmed Coronavirus cases is still undergoing renovation “and might take a while” before it can function fully.

He also revealed that the isolation area was a room in one of the wards, and that it was quickly vacated to accommodate the index case.

The source alleged, “The only thing demarcating the room from other rooms in the ward is a red and white barricade tape. That is where the Italian man that tested positive to coronavirus is kept.

“There is no single equipment inside that place. It is just like any other regular hospital room with a bed. That building you see that is being repainted is the original place meant to quarantine coronavirus patients.

“As you can see, the place is not ready. The state government is just renovating it, despite the fact that the virus started spreading since December 2019. It is really sad that a country like Nigeria is never ready to medically contain infectious disease outbreak.

“This is why most health workers leave, because they are predisposed to danger of infection.”

According to the source, the Mainland Hospital does not have a ready and designated facility to isolate and treat Lassa fever patients, much less coronavirus. The source noted that the place earmarked for Lassa fever treatment had yet to be completed.

The source said, “The place meant for Lassa fever patient has been under construction in the past one month. It is not yet completed. As you can see, they are makeshift structures, hurriedly put together with white tarpaulin.

“They are not permanent structures and I don’t know how this place can accommodate humans that have a highly infectious disease like Lassa fever,” he said.

The health worker noted that despite the fact that the state government had been able to track some persons that had had contact with the index coronavirus case, they could not be quarantined, allegedly because the state lacks requisite facility.

“The standard medical operational procedure is to track all contacts and have them quarantined to avoid further spread of the virus. But we cannot do that here because we lack such facility, which is why there is emphasis on self quarantine.

“Even where the Italian man is presently being isolated was a room vacated by a patient. I pray God save us in the coming months because we are not ready for the danger posed by the coronavirus.”

Another worker in the hospital, who also spoke on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the patient was being isolated in Ward C.

The source said, “When the Italian was brought here, he was taken immediately to a room for isolation. He is there and we are still expecting more in the coming days.”

A nurse at the facility, who appeared unconcerned by the situation on ground, was seen walking out of the isolation area without wearing personal protective equipment.

When asked why she was not wearing a face mask and gloves, she answered our correspondent with a tinge of sarcasm; “What is coronavirus?”

“Gloves and face masks cannot do anything. We have been working here for years with people that have deadly diseases. At last, all of us will die,” she quipped as she walked away.

Meanwhile, the Medical Director of the Mainland Hospital, Dr. Abimbola Bowale, has assured that the patient “is stable and responding to treatment.”

He said the patient, who was admitted and quarantined on Thursday, “is clinically stable, with no serious symptoms, and is being managed and quarantined in accordance with health safety standard.”

“We are doing trace-monitoring, and, for now, we cannot say how many people he must have come in contact with.

“We are on top of the situation and all necessary precautions are being put in place,” he added.

The Chief of Army Staff of Nigeria, Lieutenant General Tukur Yusuf Buratai, on Wednesday said the army will soon embark on the recruitment of Nigerian youths into the force to enable it to fight insurgency in the northeast of the country.


Buratai, who was represented by Brig. Gen. Emmanuel Akpan, the Director Directorate of Army Recruitment, Resettlement and Reserve, DARRR, made this known during a courtesy visit to the Governor of Ebonyi State, Chief David Umahi at the exco-Chambers Government House, Abakaliki.

According to him: “The normal army that was trained to engage particularly in conventional warfare are having a lot of problems as you can see in the North-Eastern region. So, recently the Chief of Army instituted Special Forces concept; a special skill that you can use to fight war.


“This special training will now be integrated in every training in the Nigerian Army. So, this means that anybody that is recruited in the Nigerian Army with effect from now, will have to go through that
process. It is a tough training, it requires a lot of physical and mental fitness. So, we need young men and women who are physically fit”, he noted.

He noted that those from the age of 16 and above would be employed in the Nigerian Army with four credits including English and Mathematics in not more than two sittings, urged the youths of Ebonyi state to massively apply for recruitment into the Army when its portal opens for recruitments which he said will soon commence.

In a swift reaction, the Governor Chief David Umahi, who was represented by his Deputy, Dr. Kelechi Igwe, decried shortchanging of the people of the state in the recruitment of the Nigerian Army.


He alleged that people from other parts of the country usually take up the identity of Ebonyi people and take all the state quota in any army recruitment.

“Before our ascension into office, what had obtained in the southeast particularly in Ebonyi state is that people have been shortchanged in the army. They will pull out en-mass for recruitment and after they had returned home jubilating that they are going to be recruited in the army that the report on them is favorable for their engagement in the military.

“The story will be that only two or three of them are engaged and when you go to look at the list, you will discover that men from other region will answer Ebonyi state name, take up the identity of our people and take the quota that is meant and reserved
for Ebonyi state.


“We are not happy with such unpleasant situations and I believed that our governor has complained severally about it. We think that having men like you and the Chief of Army Staff will resolve such intractable problem that we have been having in Ebonyi State”, he said.

Thank you very much. They know what they are doing. The truth is that Aba needs to be demolished and rebuilt from the scratch. If not it is a waste of time.

These are the people that made Abia state the shithole of Nigeria. They looted everything and left the state a dungeon

Abia state will continue to be the worst state in Nigeria until Abia people take back their state from the gang of Orjis that is holding the state by the jugular

While you guys are quick to post ugly pics from Aba, why are you guys not showing the beautiful -like the completed 1st phase of aba road or the new umuahia road in aba? or even the numerous factories dotting the city? a certain governor took 7 years to complete flyovers began by his predecessor-yet that flyover is barely motorable-we all know who did it but peeps from that state would shout trash
