why do people call black white on this side of the world? i only wonder what this aide wanted to achieve with these lies! since this man fell sick, was there a time that he recovered from his unconscious state talkless of him getting prepared (with aides) to resume in Abuja as the acting chairman of APC? oh, you want to tell us he was not unconscious or that he was not admitted to first cardiologist hospital due to covid-19 related ailment? let learn to be truthful pls, and stop worshipping people or being deceitful. no matter what you say or what other people like you will still say, truth is know already. anyway, this is not to taunt him in deatth, he has gone to his Maker to tender his report sheet to Him. there is no level of prayer that suffices again, the remaining thing is judgement.

You should learn to read and understand, he was appointed few weeks before his death as APC deputy chairman by Oshiomole.
The Abuja trip was to assume office.
According to his aide, he never wanted to hold any office but took the post as a means to facilitate opportunities for his people.

Africans dont speak ill of the dead

If Abba Kyari can be beautified as a saint

what more of Ajimobi

we understand

No one is calling him a saint, he's dead and gone.
Those whom he touched their lives will have to speak about him whether good or bad.
It's a phase after death whether you're rich or poor, people will pay tributes after you're dead.

I prefer iru pete to woro....

Golden rule, wash your hands and mouth after eating.

She didn't see productive people like Innoson, Coscharis,Dangote or Bill Gate to make her face look like but dull and unproductive bulhari of all people.... shame.

Lol, coming from someone who isn't fit to knock the gate of your governor's office.
If you think it's easy becoming a president once, not even twice. Start by contesting for councillorship of your ward.

My father died.

It was devastating. I’d never wish the death of a love one to anybody — including my so-called enemies.
He had two partial strokes prior to the stroke that led to his death.
He wasn’t even old. He was only 57.
Admittedly, he has had his rough share of ups and downs, several business deals that went south, I’m talking deals that would have landed him hundreds of millions, these things eventually took a toll on his health and fast forward, he began experiencing really high blood pressure due to excessive thinking.
Gradually, I watched my father before my eyes become detached from the family.
I was young to understand what was happening, but I knew somethings were especially not right.
My mother — God bless her too, because I know it was definitely not easy putting up with my father, I know he had his faults, but then, at least there should be a certain point when wives should realize that the husband needs a break.
My father’s finances started dwindling down bad and it got to a point where whenever he was paid salaries, the banks would deduct a chunk to facilitate the loan he took from them.

There was no food in our house. Indomie was a luxury.
We drank garri with yellow rice. At a point, my siblings stopped going to school because of the shame that they’d send them back home and everybody would be surprised because; of course, are these not Mr. So-So-So’s children? How can they be owing school fees?
Nobody knew what we were going through in our family. Everybody thought we were doing okay, but we pretended.
One morning, he went in the bathroom to take his bath as usual, this was just after another quarrel with my mother on not being able to provide one thing she needed or the other, and in the course of bathing, she heard him scream very loudly. She rushed into the bathroom and found him sitting on the ground in an unimaginable position, helplessly, with tears in his eyes.
She said he refused to allow her touch him, upon how profusely she begged. She began shouting for help and soon my elder brother rushed from the room to help her.
They lifted him into the vehicle and headed straight to a hospital. When they got to the hospital, the doctors quickly administered drip and certain medications to help stabilize him.
My father could not recognize any of us at a point. In fact, something very scary happened, he began babbling on and on like a child, saying different incoherent things. My mother began weeping, my siblings present weeped uncontrollably, I ran outside to weep the most.
It was almost as if he had lost his mind.
The Doctor eventually recommended a brain scan which we almost flew him to Enugu to conduct, but because of his health condition, we concluded the flight would be too risky. We eventually paid more than we were supposed to in a particular private hospital for the scan. It was revealed that he had a blood clot in his brain. My father began mediations to dissolve this blood clot.

Truth is, gradually he became better, he started recognizing people, his face straightened, but something stayed the same. His right side was paralyzed because, according to the doctor, it was his left side of his brain that was clotted. Impatient with the slow rate of recovery with modern medicine, and the fact that my father was the kind of man that right from his childhood, hated relying on people for help on anything.
But his hands were tied. He would always watch in shame as my mother would wipe his butt after defecating and urinating on the adult diaper we used to wear him. He managed to feed with his left hand but it was highly inconveniencing and always made a mess whenever he was done. At a point, we lost patience, we decided to start treating him with native medicines like so many people were advising. Harry came, said he knew this powerful medicine man that would make the stroke disappear before two days, Dick came, he too said that there was this church, that once you paid this amount, the pastor would lay hands on you and instantly you would receive your miracle. We did all these but to no avail. He eventually started treatment with one of these native medications and I can’t even say if things were getting better or remained the same.
Two years later, one cold morning, just after his shower, my father died.

May the souls of the departed rest in peace..

Vyzz:
I wish him speedy recovery




Its seems u have a strong connection with ur dad?


What about ur mom?



Try to get him tell u what he wants to...


Maybe he knows something.....

My mum has been very strong, even tougher than me.
She has some underlying health issues and I don't want her to stress herself.

I have been trying to get him talk, it seems it's about activities on the farm. We have asked not to think about the farm operations as I have arranged for this.
I even asked if I should resign my job to take charge of the farm but he said no.
He can't even write again....
Yesterday, he could hardly hold a pen, was just drawing lines.
Today he wrote E and F. Can say No and Yes audibly.
But he forgets words....
I do feel he's rushing himself too much, I told him to be patient until we get a speech therapist.

jamoyakz:
reminds me of my dads experience in November 7 last year, he came to my room and we both laid on the same bed few minutes later I left him in my room to the sitting room to watch champions league, at about 8:20 pm I notice he left my room for his car outside and next thing I saw was my dad forcing the sitting room door open I looked at his face and I knew something was wrong because he has had 2 previous ishemic stroke in the past, I quickly stood up and grab him, my mom heard from her room and rushed out we started by messaging his hand, legs and mouth while he was finding it difficult to talk but I managed to hear what he said and went to his room to get his drugs. everything looked serious I was frightened but as the only man in the house at that moment I needed to be strong for my mom and sister who were both present when it happened. I rushed to get him gum to chew to exercise his mouth but he could not chew or take his drugs. quickly reversed the car and had to carry my dad like a baby to the car because he could not walk. my sister called my attention and told me my dad left leg could not bend but it bend when I got to him. off we went to the nearest general hospital. how nonchalant they were was an understatement. finally a doctor came and asked what happened I told the doctor everything and this being his third stroke. from the facial expression of the doctor and nurses they thought that was the end of my dad but they advised us to take him to the teaching hospital because they don't have CT scan machine and neurologist. all these time my father was murmuring words that I could not understand on a wheelchair. we finally left for the teaching hospital and got there around 12 midnight. he was admitted to the accident and emergency section and a doctor came to look at him and asked him if he could lift his left hand and leg which he managed to do then I knew he would get better since he can move that part of his body. also another doctor noticed his lips was going back to normal. fast forward to the next morning my younger sister who witnessed the whole episode had called my other siblings outside of the state and they started calling. my elder sister broke down in tears and said my dad doesn't deserve this since he has had two previous stroke and was taking his medication with his BP normal. fast forward a team of neurologist checked him in the morning and said he will make full recovery but we need to run a comprehensive test on him to forestall reoccurrence in the future. all the test we did came out clean to the surprise of the doctors to the extent the head consultant neurology said that he was sure my dad had a blockage on his neck and asked we run a carotid Doppler on him which we did and the test couldn't find any blockage in his artery. all these time my father was stuttering serious that I had to be answering his phone to the extent my sister said I should give him the phone she wanted to hi. my father could not pronounce his grandchildren names and started crying. after six days in the hospital he started walking gradually. we were discharge after 12/days in the hospital, those 12 days was hell for me not because of me being the only one taking care of my dad but because of the number of person that died in the ward, it was a daily occurrence to see or hear of someone had died in the ward. fast forward to now my dad had 4 month of physiotherapy (twice in a month) now he is back to normal driving, walking and exercising but his speech(60%) is not that all perfect now the doctors said overtime it will come back to normal. he was placed on aspirins, cholesterol drug and his bp drug. according to what the doctor said that why he had reoccurring stroke was as a result of blood clot which his previous doctors didn't put him on the right drug combination to forestall any issue of stroke.
In a nutshell I think God loves my father a lot for him to have had 3 stroke and survived it even the nurses said so considering his age 76.
poster I will advise your dad stays in government hospital because they have specialized doctors than private hospitals. also if you guys can always tip those nurses especially with money they will provide better services for him. I wish your dad a speedy recovery and God gives you the strength to take care of him especially in the hospital because taking care of the sick is not easy at all

Thanks bro, I'm already optimistic that it will end well.
Thought if transferring him to a Fed Medical Hospital but we are worried about covid, some cases have been identified there already.

[quote author= post=90505181]The even appointed Igbo man as their CEO, they lobby all government in power, it will be hard for us to progress in this country, I remember few years ago when South Africans protested against Walmart to invest in their country, here in Nigeria the useless government go about begging foreigners to come instead to encourage and protect the indigenous firms[/quote]See nobody is killing anybody.....
Hitv some years back got the license for the EPL from DStv, how?
They simply outbidded DStv...
If tstv wants to show the EPL that should bid higher than DStv.
The rights is sold by UK broadcasters and not Nigerians and they are after their money.
They shouldn't however make the mistake hitv made by using bank loans to finance such.
It is a long term investment, return won't come until after the 5th or 6th year.
Dstv is now reaping from the billions they invested years ago.

Tintinnoty:
Nigeria failed TSTV. A serious nation would never allow a foreign entity operating within its borders bully an indigenous company. That was what DSTV did to TSTV.

The support the government claimed was given to TSTV was never ironclad.

Don't say what you don't know.
Should the govt have supported a firm who intend to steal rights from a middle eastern broadcaster?
Was it the govt that made them lie to Nigerians that they were going to supply internet ready decoders?

So many covidiots on nairaland, almost 40% of registered members belong to this group.

I'm not really worried by their comments but worried that they spread the idiocy to others.

fairfora:
What a forward-thinking country. With the way they're going, I see them competing with BRICS member countries in development

Lol, BRICS member cos of robots that were dashed.

Even countries that developed robots are not even members of BRICS yet.

Ok

Bonebreaker:
Wow he's been using the same profile pic since 2011

Lol, were you expecting to see his old profile pic?

It would have been better if you asked?

Ok

naptu2:
You also have to give props to Obi Asika and Storm Records.

Let's see, if I'm correct then all the answers are connected.


I think that the concert that you are referring to is Lekki Sunsplash, which took place at Lekki Beach at Christmastime. Lekki Sunsplash was promoted by Toyin Munis.


Toyin Munis created Clapperboard in the early 1990s and he had a lot of time slots on LTV 8 (there were no private free to air stations in Nigeria at the time). One of the programmes that Clapperboard showed was Clapperboard Raps. I think that's the show that you are talking about.


Clapperboard Raps was produced by Obi Asika and it was shown on Saturday or Sunday mornings. There was a segment called Jimmy's Jump Off in which unknown rappers could freestyle over beats that were laid by DJ Jimmy Jatt. 2Face Idibia had his first appearance on TV on Jimmy's Jump Off.

I was going to write all this on the first page (but I forgot) because Obi Asika is associated with a lot of the acts whose works I've posted here. Junior and Pretty released their albums on Storm Records in the early 1990s (it had a slightly different name then) and Naeto C, Sasha P and others released their works on Storm Records in the 2000s.

Yes, Lekki Sunsplash

ikorodureporta:
.. Before Kenny & D1, the guys that supported real hip-hop were Eddie, JAJ, Master Lee, Not forgetting the producer Nelson Brown

Not forgetting Benson and Hedges Golden tones....

That program played a great part in the development of hip hop.

There was also this concert that takes place at a beach in Lagos (can't remember the name now), it gave a lot of upcoming hip hop artist the platform to perform then.

Naptu2, if you can assist with the name of the show.

It is usually aired on Sunday mornings

Nostalgia....

Kel, Kemistry, Shasha etc all faded off ....

Ok

NaijaRoyalty:
Baru that was flexing muscle with Ibe Kachukwu at NNPC then now a dead man?
Truly, Life is vanity .

All man will die, Ibe Kachukwu too will die...

His death has nothing to do with muscle flexing.

festacman:
The truth is that AfDB Ethics Committee did its work for three months investigating Akinwumi Adesina while he carried on lobbying for his 2nd term. Part of allegations against him is that he addressed ECOWAS leaders meeting during which he was adopted as ECOWAS candidate. Yes, if US succeeds in suspending him, naturally more candidates might come up. But as it today, Adesina remains Africa's only candidate.

Just imagine, African Devpt Bank being dictated to by Americans on who to lead.
Can anyone outside the US decide who will lead the US Treasury?
Colonizers and usurpers

Same America will support dragging of African leaders to the world court yet it's in their laws that no American should face such court.

RuudVanNisteroy:
They are processes in the bank to recruit employees. And that is part of what the external investigator will look into.

It has been looked into by the board, he wasn't found guilty.
Americans led by Trump who employed his daughter and in-law want him out by all means.

Iamgrey5:
Ethics is also seen as corruption.

Corruption is not only money laundering

Have you seen the charges against him...

Very ridiculous I must say.

How can you claim that employing your countrymen is corruption.
The question should be, were those employed capable?

He employed Yoruba, igbo, Urhobo and Hausas.

BY TOMORROW MORNING, I BET U, ALL THE OFFICERS GO DON RUN LEAVE WARRI.


DEY NOW KNOW BETTER, THAN TO BUY THAT KIND MARKET.

Lol, what happened after previous shootings?
The guy should thank his stars that he isn't dead.

sunkieisland:
I don't believe he should be arrested for what he's said in that poem.

I believe the Poet threw down a gauntlet and he expected the people in government to answer the challenge but by arresting the man, without first proving anything wrong is tantamount to an infringement on his human right....

Though I can't confirm the news of torture, but if thats the case, Human Rights Organizations in the world should wade into such matters.

this is no longer a democracy (people that are intent on creating a law about hate speeches)

*Spits

Thank God I didn't waste my Vote. I'm just sorry that we're all in this boat as country

Obviously you didn't get to hear all he said ..

Abusing and insulting Lai's family isn't criticism.

He went overboard.

He's right.

Imagine such soldier kidnapped by Boko Haram, such soldier will invariably expose all his close contacts to the terrorists.

So the hotel manager was detained under the guise of being isolated.

This is pure dictatorship.
What if the man is killed and they tell us he died of covid complications.

Things dey happen ooo

martineverest:
and Lagosians will sit at the comfort of their homes doing permutations for Edo state on how Oshiomhole will trump obaseki. .I just smh


it's either obaseki or PDP... Oshiomhole is dead and buried in Edo land

Obaseki should go ahead and submit his name with INEC.
Las las, both of them will lose out
Obaseki out as governor, Oshiomole will probably still remain as party chair

Baloranking:
So you like him being a coward . All I saw on that video was a man speaking facts.

Based on job he enrolled for, he was very foolish.

No matter the country, such act will be punished.

Obaseki is a naive politician.
When people were hailing him, asking him to deal with Oshiomole, he fooloshy played along.

He played all his cards on Oshiomole getting removed as party chairman without plan B.
Knowing fully well that Oshiomole led NWC has the final say in submitting candidate's name to INEC.

The battle he had with Oshiomole should have been suspended till he is sworn in for second term.

DrGoodman:
Dr. Jonathan, health minister Dr. Onyebuchi Chukwu and PDP swept Ebola out of Nigeria in less than a month.

Keep your deciet, proactive Lagos State govt kept Ebola away and not GEJ
