PoliticsRe: Did Melinda Gates Claim To See Dead Bodies All Over Africa? (Fact Check) by obstead200(m): 7:26am On Apr 14, 2020
wirinet:
Nigeria is cursed with dumb populace. It explains why we are in poverty in the midst of plenty. Nigerians are the only people that will curse you if you give an honest advice, but is negative. If you advice a Nigerian to take a certain action to prevent failure, poverty or death, he will curse you and your father, and end it with God forbid and "I reject it in God's name", but when tragedy happens, he looks for someone else to blame.

If a woman advice his husband to write a while, take a life insurance policy or prepare for any eventuality, they would brand her a witch that is planning to kill her husband.

If you tell your your friend who is living large today to save for tomorrow, because the source of money might dwindle or stop tomorrow, he will hate you and say you wish him evil.

This is the terrible nature of the Nigerian, the inability to think and plan tomorrow.

A woman, who had done tremendous work in Africa. A woman who along with her husband is responsible for eliminating polio from Africa, and a woman has shown concern for Africa is giving advice to Africa, based on what she saw in Ecuador.
Instead of us to disagree with her politely, we are supporting a known drug addict and a serial womaniser, who had never done any charitable thing in his life to demonise her.

She has a point. The fatality rate in Nigeria so far is about 3%. Out of about 300 people confirmed infested with the virus, 10 are dead. Imagine the number of death if up to a million people are infected. That would be 300,000 thousand.

Even the the Trump administration is using a projected figure of between 100,000 to 200,000 deaths as a best case scenario. West case scenario is between 1 million to 1.2 million deaths.
at the bolded, Ur mathematics is wrong. If we have a million infections, we will expect 30,000 deaths, not 300,000

honeyB2018:
Am not a Femi Fani Kayode fan,but going through your thread on what Mrs Melinda Gates said, there is no differences between what she said in reference to o Ecuador and African and what FFK said.
When she said I see in Africa, what I saw in Ecuador, what was that supposed to be? What did she see in Ecuador, was it not death?
FFK quoted her out of context, to get the desired effect.

Look at the 2 statement. Wisdom is profitable to direct.

Damn!!! I hate FFK

The Osun State border should be heavily cordoned and all neighbouring states should restrict entry from Osun. Those guys have mission to accomplish. All the way from Ivory Coast, they have the virus and on a mission to launch in Nigeria
something is fishy here.
I am willing to bet that those guys were probably not infected. Someone used Thier case to cash out big time.

Why do I say so?

As at date, Ivory Coast has about 218 cases, almost similar to Nigeria.

As at the time those guys were apprehended, we had about 30 cases, am sure Ivory Coast also had almost same statistics as at then.

It is unlikely (although remotely possible) that some random Nigerians will become Infected from such a small number of cases.
I will bet they were not infected from day one

Well, I don't understand you message. Are you saying my suggestion to him was not correct or what? It may interest you to know that OP's has already identified a specific research area - "Integration of Renewable Energy on Grid Distribution Network".
This is a generic topic around which he can make a reasonable proposal on to get admission. Simple and easy way for him is to read a few good survey papers in this area (if they are available) or he can get 4 good papers around this area and decide what problem in this area he wishes to solve.

I think no much reading or background work is required for him to get admission.
oga, we are both saying exactly the same thing.
Writing a proposal shud not be a problem to him because he shud have done some background work in his area of interest and identify a research gap.

The bolded is not quite correct. You cannot do it from just anywhere. The availability of online sources is not the only factor. The credibility of your supervisor matters a lot, probably more than the accessibility of information. The availability of information is not quite a factor today actually. In general, most PhD students need guidance during their PhD, as they conduct their research. Getting a good to great mentorship, as you can imagine mostly depends on your supervisor. There's also the problem of what is called wonderful research. This is largely based on what those top-end professors call it. You may not do great during your Phd, but the clout of your supervisor may just be enough to get you those enviable post-doctoral research fellowships. There's a lot of politics in research too.
I agree. The quality of Ur research is ultimately what your supervisor says it is. I and running a PhD programme.
I know a professor in my faculty of whom I will be ashamed to have him supervise even a PGD project work. The work will be so substandard that External examiners will make mincemeat of such work.
But he is a professor, and due to politics, nobody questions the nonsense he supervises.

Those that don't have money will say "it isn't worth it"
Those that have the money will say "it is worth it"
The Optimist will say "It is worth it"
The pessimist will say "how can you even think about that"
.
.
As a realist, I would say this: studying for the PhD should have a reason why and that justifies the intention to spend 16 milli. Besides, 16 million is only an estimate. I spent over 20 million now. The UK educational system is very promising and encouraging and why the expense is overwhelming, the quality of education is second to non. Given that you are in line with your study, and with God on your side obviously, you can actually gain more after the completion of your study. Statistically, a lecturer earns at least £35k and above and the remuneration structure is fab! Now, if you don't intend to go into academia or research study, any employer will value your degree; it comes with a handsome package and a very well due respect. Alternatively, you can start your own firm because you will most definitely have an innovative idea during these 3 years programme undoubtedly,
For me, the money counts but contributing to the general body of knowledge is a bolster.
aunty, u are not being realistic. Maybe u are one of those silverspoon fed kids who are guaranteed a job placement back here in Naija. Or u are just schooling for the fun of it.(maybe because Ur husband wants a wife with a PhD).

Now listen, to be realistic, a PhD is basically a means to an end. And the end is simply more money.

So, for me, I can't spend that amount on any PhD except I have a position locked down waiting for me to step into as soon as I am done. Or unless I am very sure of getting a job placement in that foreign land as soon as I am done. If not, then the only way I can undertake such a PhD is through scholarship.

Trust me, PhD is research based. Which means u can do it anywhere, as long as u are willing to do the donkey work, u will still turn out a wonderful research and contribute greatly to the body of knowledge.
I however, had to admit that research is easier over there in UK cos u have access to prime data sources, premium online libraries and current methodologies.

Simplyleo:
At 5, the appearance or turn out of a child is entirely the decision and responsibility of the parents. If a teacher or school has issues with the turn out of a 5 year old pupil, the best is to contact the parents and address it accordingly.

You don't just pick up razor blade and start shaving the hair of a 5 year old without the consent or knowledge of her parents.

Any teacher tries that shyt with me must pay for it. undecided
I see sense in this. I agree. At that age, it is the parents prerogative to decide how the child should look. If the school is not ok with it, they should ask the child to withdraw

My dear, many men would find it difficult to reprimand their siblings because of ordinary food, especially if the age difference between them is not much. It belittles the man and makes him look petty. I too will find it difficult to act in this situation. Your husband is also trying to protect u. He does not want a situation where his siblings will say u are wicked and want to starve them because u married their brother.

U need to look for creative ways to peacefully address this problem. Or u just endure until Ur BIL does something worse, that would make Ur husband act. If Na just food, my dear, he may not act ooo

I came here from the onset and stated clearly on my post first Cucmber farm on 1acre and never solicited for funds in anyway but this guy keeps on showing himself. I'm even surprised that this topic was moved to FP cause I felt I haven't harvested yet, called a colleague of mine to express my shock. It's disappointing how people don't want people to grow how envy has eaten up their should and has kept dem to stink of bad character like stagnant water. God is the greatest. I'm new to farming and I'll post my trial, my challenges and my success. I'm not afraid to fail cause it just takes one opportunity to succeed. Pistotita I'll never give you credit because of many reasons but the one that stands high is because as it stands till date you dont have a farm, you've a garden.

Ill always give credit to Okoroemeka and Wiz2019( - I hope I got the spelling right) and every other person that posted a topic that I learnt from on this platform and off this platform. Alot of people I've learnt from that are on the platform but will never comment.

This will be the last time I'll comment about any envious fellow.

I came here to learn not to look for investors or teach anyone. If by virtues of the works of my Hands the God Lord blesses me through this forum I'll accept it with open hands.

Healthserve please leave these people alone. It's quite clear that they need investors and they're pained the mods didn't give them FP audience. Inside Life

Good job by the way. All I can say is that drip irrigation and mulching would have done u a world of good. Every other thing is excellent.
