There isn't much land.

If this was very technical and could lead to a serious incident, why didn't they construct the airport in 'safer' terrains?

This post does not objectively assess Prof Adeyeye's tenure at NAFDAC. Were you aware of the ban on satchet alcohol? Did you follow the back and forth with producers and manufacturers instigating media reports and using the office of the SGF and even the Senate to frustrate those reforms? Does NAFDAC have the same form of government support that it used to have? Is it fair to ask people to give their heart and soul to a country like Nigeria, where the reward for Prof Akunyili's exploits, like you rightly referenced, was the murder of her husband in broad daylight, and passersby simply record and broadcast the footage online without making efforts to help him? You go on about how fake drugs have increased; where are your figures? Are you also aware of how much Prof Adeyeye has accomplished in her tenure? When we fail to address the actual problems that need to be addressed, in this case the influence of unscrupulous counterfeiters, and lack of adequate government support for its agency, we will never address issues that need to be addressed.

OLABAMIJI99:
In a society where laws are made to regulate the activities of the citizens to maintain laws and order, the citizens still break such laws, because human beings are the most difficult creatures you can control.

A penalty was set against fake drugs merchandise, yet there are still thousands fake drugs and food producers across the country recently.
So many Nigerians have died as a result of this, while many have developed one form of sickness or the other..

We all can remember the days of Late Prof Dora Akunyili , who dealt with fake drug producers and reduced them to nothing. The health sector was sanitised under her watch, and this nearly cost her life in 2003.
Her fight against fake drugs won her so many awards both locally and internationally

Dr Paul Orhii who succeeded Dora also played a significant role in maintaining Dora’s good legacy.
Under Paul Orhii watch, he created a PIN number to confirm if the medication bought is actually original.

Now what is Professor Mojisola Christianah Adeyeye doing since 2017 she was appointed ?
What is her new policy or method she has adopted so far in curbing fake medication?
The number of fake drug producers increased under her watch like never before.
The problem is not fake drug dealers because criminals always exist in every society, the problem is the inability of Nafdac to create a good idea on how to track them, crush them, and send them to jail, not relying on old approach to fight fake drugs dealers.

If criminals could re strategise on how to sell their fake products to the people, why can’t NAFDA adopt a new approach on how to identify such fake drug, and and also re strategise on how to apprehend those murderers as well ?

Isn’t not the time for Nigerians to ask Professor Mojisola to go if she can’t do the needful?

Well, I said what I said. All the best to OP

WatchYourSix:
u cant even back up ur claim… u just want to sound nice…
yes they are crises patient?? and it’s not an insult or a derogatory statement … its a fact of science and reality….by generics their red blood cell is sickled shape which makes it less efficient to carry oxygen and it causes them to have pains and regular health crises when their red cell count runs a bit low…. So dont come here trying to sound nice and sugercoative…..

If u want to call her a plague thats on you… I never did…
But ann SS genotype for a partner is a strong reason to think over if u want to marry….. i have repeatedly seen the periodic health crises of a SS genotype person before…. Its not pretty, both for the patient and those taking care of them..


u are just contradicting yourself…::
So why would it be understandable now? because they may have SS kids abi?
Oh.. so now u want to avoid SS kids because of their SS genotype and prone to health crises?? why are u now claiming in your first paragraph that the SS mother isnt a health crises patient to be avoided ?? U are just deceiving yourself…

self centred ?? He clearly said he was hoping to give his kids a better fighting chance at life even in this area of not passing them the AS genotype that will make finding marriage parters difficult… because that will be the automatic outcome of all his kids if he marries the SS woman..
so please explain,,, how is a man thinking about the genotype of his own kids delusional and self-centred??

This is not life happens…life happens are the thing you ddnt see coming that eventually became you realitieszz

. He already knows the woman is SS… Thats full disclosure before entering the marriage…he will be dealing with her health crises as a SS genotype person and will be passing AS genotype to all his children…
theses are real issues,,,, but hey!! you want to make it look like they are not a big deal and also make the guy look bad for considering them…. Shame on you jooor.!!

Ur comment was not an advice, it was a bunch of emotional blackmail with a “what if” to make him feel since disease can happen in the marriage, he should just kukuma throw caution in the wind

…… the fact is his concerns are not flimsy excuses…. and that what you are trying to paint it as… and thats why i comically asked if u were SS urself because u sound very biased ..


he never attributed intelligence to genotype as u claimed in your previous comment .. please go read his comment again..

…. He mentioned intelligence separately and added that the girl checked that box as a first class graduate and is also impressive in other areas… he also mentioned that he was first class graduate too..

First of all, your statistics of 50/50 survival is wrong. People with SS genotypes are not 'crisis' patients. The fact that her genotype is SS doesn't make her a plaque to be avoided. If he had the S trait, that would be understandable but his reasons are primarily self-centred. His assumption that he has significant role in what gene is passed on to his children is somewhat delusional. Life happens. Even when one has done everything possible, life happens. No one is asking him to marry her. If you read my comments, you'd see that I advised him to break up with her if he is bothered by her genotype. The 'what if' is because marriage should not be decided by flimsy excuses.
And yes, intelligence was one of the things he wanted to preserve for his children. He wrote it there.

WatchYourSix:
Which kind yeye “what if” be that….. ?? Person dey try give himself brain about confirmed crisis patient that their chances of reaching old age is on 50/50 things.,….u dey blackmail am with another what if as reason to accept the girl….

Mind yourself oooo….. u be SS ??

Btw… where did u read him saying inheriting intelligence is related to being AA… ?? Make una dey clam down dey read…

I hope she sees this. She doesn't have to be desperate. She may have lost a relationship before because of her genotype. Lying is bad but she felt she should come out clean before y'all get too serious, that's highly commendable. If that's all it is to it, she could make a good partner. However, if someone has told a lie before, what stops them from telling another? On the other hand is you, the unfaithful lover. Is it fair that someone this conscientious end up with you?
If you really love her. Kindly, break it up with her, you owe her that at least.
You should note however that nothing in life is certain. What if you marry someone with AA and a few years into marriage, she develops a disease condition? Would you dump her? Lastly, your talk about inheriting intelligence has nothing to do with being AA.

Brothers, What Will You Advise a Brother?

I'm currently confused about my relationship journey.

I haven't really been the type to consider a serious relationship for a while now. It's just been a couple of sex partners here and there. We do it safely and keep things on a superficial level.

Now, recently, there have been demands and questions here and there about starting a family, especially considering that my immediate junior brother is done having children. His lastborn will be three next month, while the lastborn of my family is also done having kids. Her firstborn is already 10 years old.

I seem to be the only odd one out in this regard, even though I'm arguably more financially settled than all of them. Not to brag, please; I'm just trying to paint a clearer picture of the situation.

I clocked 35 in May, and it was as if everyone in the universe agreed to centre their birthday wishes around God providing me with a wife and family. Ever since then, the reminders from my folks have been pretty loud, persistent, and disturbing.

For the first time in years, I decided to seek a proper relationship, unlike my usual superficial flings and sexcapades.

Come to think of it, I can barely go three days without proper sex. This detail should be useful later.

I met this very beautiful babe from my state. She's 27, a first-class graduate (I am too, actually), and I'm naturally attracted to every facet of intelligence, especially communicative and academic intelligence. She has both, and I'm superbly into her.

She can hold a very reasonable conversation without leaving you mentally exhausted. She's become an integral part of my life, and at this point, I think it's safe to say I'm deeply attracted to her and genuinely like her.

Worthy of note is the fact that I've enjoyed a very unusual level of peace with her over the past three months, which is absolutely unlike me.

I get correct anger ish, although I've learnt to manage it well. I'm not a violent person, but I pick offences easily, and most times, I walk away when provocations get too loud. More often than not, my walking away is goodbye. I'm so good at it.

But since meeting this babe, we've not had any ugly disagreements over these past few months. She's very calm, calculated, and receptive. These qualities have made me like her even more.

She has a reasonably good-paying job, but that's not even an issue. I earn well enough to cater for everything, but she's also financially independent. Gifting seems to be her thing, too, as she's spent quite a sum on gifts for me without expecting anything in return. I haven't even matched up to a quarter of what she's spent on gifting though.

For the first time in my life, I agreed to a no-sex-before-marriage relationship because she's a virgin.

I still dey run my games on a low, so this didn't really look like an ish.

Here lies the rub.

Just last week, she said she had a confession to make, and she opened up about being SS. Mind you, I'm AA, so, by the usual norms, this shouldn't be an issue.

But during one of our previous conversations, she had claimed to be AS and asked if I would be comfortable settling down with someone who was SS. I almost freaked out.

I'm sorry, but I've always wanted to have AA kids. With apologies to those affected, I've always believed that if I ever have children, I owe them the best possible chances at life, including heightened intelligence, beauty, and a sound genotype. I believe I have a reasonable degree of control over who complements my genes to bring these qualities to fruition.

I'm honestly very good-looking and intelligent, so why not get someone who possesses these qualities, too?

Call it insipid or vapid, but I could swear that life has already dealt some people heavy blows by limiting their options in their quest for a future partner. Unlike those of us with AA genotypes, who can consider partners across all the common genotypes without the same risk of having children with sickle cell disease, they don't always have that freedom. I wanted my kids to have that freedom and an avalanche of options, too.

So, when she asked me that question, I sincerely freaked out and couldn't hide my disdain.

This, in turn, stopped her from opening up until last week, when she could no longer hide it.

Funnily enough, I already like her to the point where I don't mind if she's SS, BB, or iPhone.

But the fact that she lied is what actually turned out to be my ish. She's been a very straightforward person so far, and this particular issue has upset our fashioned norms.

I proposed that the no-sex-before-marriage agreement should be off if we were going to be together, and she agreed. But now, I'm beginning to think it might look as though I'm trying to take advantage of her at this point.

Brothers, what will you advise a brother?
Am I being unreasonable?
Considering the emotional supports people with SS need, how challenging can it be? What is the possibility that she lives long enough?

All insults, curses, and whatever are welcome.
T for grateful.

Jayhome24:
If you know the history same way your akintola stood on awolowo neck same you same pipu are doing right now we read it and heard abt it its now something genetical.

Thanks.

No more qustion.

What happened between Akintola and Awolowo? Do you actually know? And what do you mean he stood on Awolowo neck? Do you know? You are the one making accusations, be clear about it. You have the burden of proof

Jayhome24:
Oga I will only take you serious untill you cough out thatN30billion you collected, chopped and cleaned mouth. You will pay it walahi its a promise.

Oga I will only take you serious till the day you can explain how you procured 2 second hand drones at a whooping N7.5billion, oga after your governorship immunity expire you can't escape oo walahi.

Now your fellow Ladoke Akintola descedants(check history) are praising you but I hope when you are in Kuje they will still come to visit you or praise you? Don't worry hand go reach you soon and body go tells you.

Now, what is the problem with Ladoke Akintola? And don't ask us to 'check history'. Some of us actually know plenty of it.

HacheNoire:
Gibberish!

The project even exposes how incompetent what the people of Oyo state call a governor, happens to be.

Just like Ogun state governor, they look at all the critical priorities and settle for the most profitable to their bank accounts!

What does Oyo state need an airport for when public education, healthcare, and critical infrastructure are in ruins?

Why are they so much in a hurry to pump billions into airport renovation or construction.

Oyo people will have another opportunity to get it right. Past 8 years already wasted.

Because Oyo is close to Lagos and is well positioned to take off some of the cargo and traffic in Lagos. It could become an alternative route for transportation of goods and humans inbound and outbound the Southwest. Of all the states in the West that should have one, Oyo is one. This is what is called infrastructural development.

KosiGee:
Maduka might be an honest man and ethical in his behaviours and dealings but he need to guard his utterances.

Such an allegation might be investigated and he’d have to prove that such interaction with the said governor took place.

I agree with you.
I like the man but sometimes, there are things you don't have to say. One governor did so and so is better than mentioning one person by name. If there's no paper trail to back it up. This may become an unnecessary legal conflict

Nice topic @OP
The issue is NAFDAC's ability to guarantee those reforms.
1. People will complain. When one guy coughed about ponmo, you notice the noise. Meanwhile, that noise was justifiable.
2. Nigerian institutions go about reforms the wrong way. These problems are systemic. It's better to target the Macro players and then perhaps go down the food chain. If our food was mass produced, it would be easy to monitor where whatever is coming from.
3. The political will to support NAFDAC may be absent. Look at the satchet alcohol ban and the noise about it.

No one knows who was buried in that grave or the relationship between the too but, the poster threw the' alleged ex-husband' narrative and everyone is responding to that. That's the problem with SM these days. We respond to things that are not even facts to begin with. Nairaland can do better. Posts like this should not be allowed

What benefits does alcohol bring to the poor masses? The poor masses that can care for their basic needs? You want them to continue to get high on cheap alcohol and remain in perpetual poverty? In fact this is the best way to promote them.

Careful4u:
Banning without offering any solution for the poor masses whose daily livelihood depends on the sale of sachet drinks! Satan came to steal, to kill and to destroy-APC I hail thee

This story by Daily Independent is 'unfair' to the efforts of NAFDAC. How can you describe 'affordable alternative'? The producers of sachet alcohol started it because it was easy to sell. Many people buy not because it is cheap but because they can quickly down 20 ml while on the go. Sachet alcohol and PET alcohol less than 200ml should be banned and enforced. It will do our public health a lot of good

If anyone believes in Jesus and acknowledges Him as Lord and Saviour, it is enough to save him. For everyone who calls upon the name of Jesus shall be saved

Children are their parent's responsibilities, absolutely. Except under very unusual circumstances should a child be separate from his own parents. For emphasis, the best place to grow and nature a child is within his immediate family that contains actively present parents

First of all, there's nothing like 'Critical doctor '. A doctor is a doctor.

frog12:
they are understaffed on sundays. critical doctors are not there

Those of you that accused her falsely know yourselves, don't conscript is abeg

winterfell007:
Chai!!! That means we all accused this woman falsely of stealing 20billion dollars. She should sue this yeye government for defamation of character.

I agree with you. Let them build strong government institutions that will make it difficult for fraudsters to operate or rather prosecute them

KillahPriest:
It is not Soludo's duty to fight fake pastors, it is left for those who feel they have been scammed by these allegedly fake pastors to file complaints with the police. A note of warning, if Soludo does not desist from this enterprise very soon, next thing you'll hear is the total proscription of Christianity and churches as a whole in Anambra state and indeed Nigeria as a whole. I warned when they started with native doctors because I knew where things would head to and just like play, here we are today. How can a state government with myriads of unfinished business and problems suddenly decide that combating "fake pastors" is the most important thing on its agenda. Anambra people, NTOOOOR

yinkus6750:
This is very shocking.
Upon all this years of harassment and intimidation.
All the yatch, expensive bras, jeweleries e.t.c., she's a Saint?
Nigeria detectives or UK detectives, who did this ?

What bra? What Jewelry? Of all she would use money to buy, it's diamond bra? For whose benefit? Those that peddled the lies in the first place knew it was all a lie. They hung corruption charges on her and Sambo Dasuki. Claims that are unfounded and could not be proven. Sambo Dasuki that is tried in Nigeria has not been found guilty by a Nigerian court.

How can you accuse someone of so much without having proof. The proof should be the basis why you accuse her in the first place. Isn't it?

brain54:
Huh


That no evidence was found don't mean she didn't commit those crimes...


I'm choosing my words carefully because she was not found guilty after 11years of trial.


But she was just smart about what she did and how she went about her business that's all.


I don't want to say the woman is a smart, brilliant and intelligent theif!

Mehn
This woman has been through a lot. Accused to the highest heavens.
Demonized and insulted with no concrete proof. Even her former husband kept asking her to drop his name.

The headline is misleading, inciting and unnecessary. Op is claiming without proof that doctors are causing 'medical disasters' of great proportion because of their prescriptions. Not good.

And it's not because 'they went to church.' It's because they are understaffed. That's the problem, being understaffed. It's not church.

frog12:
they are understaffed on sundays. critical doctors are not there

The issue with one-sided stories regardless of who is telling them is that they cannot be trusted to be absolute truths. Now, this guy was not on ground. He didn't know if the hospital had doctors neither did he know how many doctors there were in that hospital. He is claiming that because it was a Sunday, ALL the doctors went to church. According to him, the problem is not that the hospitals are grossly understaffed. He is bringing a 'religious' sentiment into a clear systemic problem.

I have observed that people commenting how religion is a 'problem'. But, does it make sense when someone says that in Vatican city, doctors didn't man their station because 'they went for mass?' Or that doctors in Saudi went to the mosque hence they didn't attend to emergencies?

We overlook systemic issues and blame what is not.

If there was one doctor covering that hospital like in many cases in Nigeria and he chooses to be off on a Sunday, would he be wrong? Even where they have enough hands, people must rest. This demand of self-sabotage is the same as the President asking us to make sacrifices for the country.

Summarily, I believe this person is being insincere and is being sentimental. Anyone who hears him will be wise to truly consider the matter

He is not supporting because of 'ego'
That's an interesting one

This is what Nigerians do that's disheartening. Politicising everything. This was how they turned Chibok girls to campaign points.
These children and teachers are human beings. They have families and lived ones seeing their videos everywhere. It has nothing to do with any politician. Any politician using this as a campaign talking point is devious

Ironfaceman:
I'm sorry to say Peter Obi is not a serious politician, truth be told

Upon hearing the total number of APC members, one would have expected him to throw questions at the ruling party with regards to credibility.

Instead he is going to southafrica to meet who and to discuss what. As a minister or ambassador. He knows the government is backing xenophobia  and he lacks the authority or locus standi to bring a redress.

Going into the general election with 12 million people is a good upper-hand.

I just want to say that you are thinking.

The opposition is surprisingly oblivious to very important matters.

With 10 million votes in APC primaries. Tinubu is practically saying,he has at least 10 million votes in the next general election. First, this is psychological. He is saying, I have the numbers from party faithfuls so you opposition do not stand a chance. Turnout at elections have never been good. Even with the hype in last GE less than 50 percent of eligible voters voted. One would expect something similar next year.

Second, some groundwork evidence in case of litigation. Tinubu's defence will confidently produce proof of at least 10 million votes for APC when they go to court. They don't need to get it from polling units or anything. With the right expert, they will be home and dry. That 10 million cannot be touched by the opposition no matter how much irregularities they claim.

These are important if the opposition is serious. It is surprising they are not making noise about this.

One would have thought many would realise elections are not simply emotional. Elections anywhere are not won by the guy with ideas or 'track records' alone. It's deep strategy and from where we are presently, Tinubu is way ahead.

And if Peter Obi has not provided credible leadership for the opposition in the last four years, how can we trust him to lead Nigeria's complex governance?

Don't induce anything madam. That baby should be allowed for another two weeks, except there is a problem before you consider interfering in the natural process. Would you rather a child requiring neonatal intensive care or a healthy bouncing baby? I am sure the latter. So, just be patient. Abeg

Such a humble response.
Nonetheless, he didn't address the main issue being that he inflated the the cost of the jet. That's what the issue was about.
It was not like he was ADVERTISING the sale of the plane. It was leasing that he was advertising and he never mentioned a price for that.

This lie you people keep peddling around.
First, they didn't beat up Ajaero because he was in a political meeting.

LP is the political arm of NLC -and was there when Oshiomole was President- there's nothing wrong with that. It happens in other climes.

The government should not be allowed to get away with brutalising people. Moreso, the leader of a major pressure group in the country. Ajaero was not doing his thing, he was representing the NLC. Raising awareness against a government seeking reelection despite many infarctions against workers. What better time to get a government respond than when an election is at the corner.

What would it cost the government to apologise and promise to investigate the incident? A government that leads with impunity is not worth defending. No matter how brilliant the argument

FreeStuffsNG:
This was the days when NLC was not an affiliate of a political party that promotes politics of hate, lies, tribal/religious bigotry and criminal defamation.

Same thing happened to Alhaji Lai Mohammed during the era of HE Goodluck Jonathan yet APC never told its its members to boycott sittings or shut down governance in their states.

Senator Oshiomole can not just lament like the rest of us. He is a law maker and an ex-labour leader, he should submit draft laws to the national Assembly to separate NLC from a political party.

It's anti-democratic when NLC drags in workers government institutions that must remain independent like the judiciary, courts, INEC, university administrators etc just to promote a Labour Party candidate in Imo state elections. It is absolutely wrong and the National Assembly can enact laws to stop Labour Party or any other political party from using the NLC platform for what Mr Ajaero is doing.

We are past feeling bad for people in power. His claim was that it was due to IPPS bureaucracy. They will eventually pay them. Most civil servants use their personal vehicles. What is bad about him using his personal vehicle? After all, he is being paid for his job.
But you see those workers in Imo, they have not been paid for months for no concrete reasons.
