yasaa: The only Specialist hospital in the state was handed over to the federal government which was turned into a teaching hospital, and renamed Abubakar Tafawa Balewa Teaching Hospital (ATBUTH).

Unfortunately however, after the
hospital was turned to the federal
government, a lot of irregularities
started surfacing as a patient,
Fatima Abdullahi Galadima, an
ulcer/ hypertensive patient said she went to the hospital but the doctor she met was sarcastic and refused to attend to her.

Galadima lamented that neither did the doctor refer her to any of the other doctors in the hospital nor call for any of the other hospital officials to interpret for her, saying “It was a female Indian doctor working in the hospital that came and assisted me but the other pot-bellied Nigerian doctor was aggressive, and these types of
doctors should not work here.”

Other findings revealed that
sometimes patients who are
suffering from one ailment or
another are left for between two to three months before they see a
doctor.

yasaa: I don't respond to sentimental questions. Besides I ask you a question first, but you choose to be sentimentally evasive jumping from one end to another. I gave you facts there including links to follow, what do you gain by acting based on your sentiments rather than facts?

yasaa: What is the falsehood there? Was it the selling of the specialist hospital or the construction of the new 7.5 km2 Cemetery? Let's just say the hospital was not constructed during Mu'azu's government. But you and I knows that it was during Mu'azu's regime that the hospital was renovated and upgraded to a world standard, with well-equiped mordern facilities and qualified personnels i.e doctors. Let me ask you this one question again mr Osiris or wetin you call yourself sef, is the teaching hospital meant for the ordinary citizens of Bauchi state? Why on eath will Yuguda sell the one and only specialist hospital in the entire Bauchi state without replacement? And why the huge grave yard? Please use a common sense to answer my questions.

yasaa: Governor Isa Yuguda of Bauchi state has sold the only Specialist hospital belonging to people of Bauchi State. The hospital which was constructed during the administration of his predecessor former Governor Adamu Mu'azu has been sold to the Federal Government since Yuguda's first four years in office, but up till now no replacement is on ground. What shock people of Bauchi most is how Yuguda went ahead to construct a huge grave yard located at Gombe road in Bauchi metropolis.

Dear Mallam Nasir,
I am playing with an idea in my mind. I am thinking of taking time off(a
sabbatical so to say) and coming to Nigeria as a free moral agent to
try to influence the direction of the 2011 elections.

I am convinced that if I am on the ground my influence will be greater. I would want to arrange something on the ground similar to what Trippi did in Zimbabwe and organize private citizen groups and equip them with technology and skills to monitor the elections clandestinely and relay video and oral reports to the world media in real time and force the government and the INEC to be honest and conduct free and
fair elections.

One thing holding me back is that I will need accommodation in Abuja.
I have been exploring options but Abuja is even more expensive than the U.S and landlords are demanding 2 years rent in advance.
Respectfully sir, I was wondering if you could help in this regard.
Regards,
Reno.

all4naija: The funny thing is that you are picky in replying to my comments! The very truth why I have not agree with you in this matter has been simple as that. It also funny to see most people agreeing with you on your attempt to paint the picture in the favor of Iran. Israel is not a threat to world security to some extent. It doesn't threaten its neighbors with weapons of mass destruction. And, for all we know Israel is more a flexible country when compare to Iran. Please, to say I am biased because that is the usual preoccupation of most myopic individuals in this forum is telling of your stance to make me look as the bad person.


Nevertheless, as you have failed to answer the question I put forward to you and also failed to see in my previous comments on the reason why I think Iran shouldn't be allow to possess Nuclear weapon prove you haven't be reading my comments with open-mindedness.If you can go back to some of my previous comments you will see the reasons I stated there clearly and concise.

In the pursue of Nuclear weapons Iran is not so much different from North Korea, a rogue state for that matter. And, the fact that North Korea even seems determined to acquire the bomb before Iran only to be deterred by continuous sanctions which crippled most parts of it economy and the distancing of the international body that made it felt isolated to have the helps in forestalling the Nuclear weapon project is unequivocally correct and arguably what Iran is trying to imitate. Indeed, it even seems to me North Korea is stronger and more determined in the quest than the Iran you are over-emphasizing to be possessing the weapon in the face of an international disagreement with the plan. Iran might not be able to possess the weapon if more sanctions and co-operation of the United Nation security council are ready to take effect in preventing the country from having it. The only thing I am skeptical about in all of these is Russia(the brain behind this dangerous weapon proliferation). Not until Russia come to term with the West,I agree with you, there is no way the Iranian will not acquire Nuclear weapon at all cost at the end, to the monetary benefit of the Russian oligarchy who are bent on destabilizing the world security whenever they can. Russia has lost my respect long time ago though!

My demand is clear, that is, to prevent the world from being polarized in the direction of Nuclear weapon armament. Those nations which already possessed it should come to the dialogue table and find a way of doing away with the larger chunk of it - like the US/Russia Nuclear weapons reduction treaty - for this to have effect, it must be followed with actions. So, I am on the need to do away with weapons of mass destruction from all countries of the world, not this your very notion to make me looks as if I am biased for the interest of few possessing it for whatsoever reason. The truth is that it is better in the hands of some than others. Needless do I mean it is right for Israel to have it but with the situation and location of that nation, it serves as deterrent in almost all capacity to some of its fierce neighbors.

You are very good in putting words into my's mouth and that is what you did by saying I should 'stop making Israel looks as the underdog here', which, I never did nor any of my statement ever looked anything close to that.

all4naija: @Osiri.211

It is obvious most of you will also say Iran is not building Nuclear facilities from the way most of you are commenting on the topic.

Yes! With a resounding and Affirmative YES Iran must not be allowed to acquire Nuclear weapons.

all4naija: @Osiri.211

You are the propagandist here. You are done yet don't read the detail. You are here to support the fact that self-defense means to wipe out a nation from the surface of the earth and it is never a threat. Now, this is what was written on Islamic Republic Of Iran Broadcasting regarding this controversy and it points to the fact what Iran intention was. Whether Iran can wipe Israel out of the surface of the earth or not is not the argument. But was that statement made at all?

Yes, I agree with you Iran can't wipe Israel out of the map but can do great harms. So, such threat should not be taken with grain of salt as the nation is trying to acquire Nuclear weapons.

Please, read before you start acting as all-knowing here with your cronies who are bent on seeing things from one side:

"Wiped off the map" controversy

On 26 October 2005, IRIB News, an English-language subsidiary of the state-controlled Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), filed a story on Ahmadinejad's speech to the "World Without Zionism" conference in Tehran, entitled: Ahmadinejad: Israel must be wiped off the map . The story was picked up by Western news agencies and quickly made headlines around the world. On 30 October, The New York Times published a full transcript of the speech in which Ahmadinejad was quoted as saying:
Our dear Imam (referring to Ayatollah Khomeini) said that the occupying regime must be wiped off the map and this was a very wise statement. We cannot compromise over the issue of Palestine. Is it possible to create a new front in the heart of an old front. This would be a defeat and whoever accepts the legitimacy of this regime has in fact, signed the defeat of the Islamic world. Our dear Imam targeted the heart of the world oppressor in his struggle, meaning the occupying regime. I have no doubt that the new wave that has started in Palestine, and we witness it in the Islamic world too, will eliminate this disgraceful stain from the Islamic world.
Ahmadinejad said that the issue with Palestine would be over "the day that all refugees return to their homes [and] a democratic government elected by the people comes to power", and denounced attempts to normalise relations with Israel, condemning all Muslim leaders who accept the existence of Israel as "acknowledging a surrender and defeat of the Islamic world."
The speech indicated that he considered Israel's withdrawal from the Gaza Strip to be a trick, designed to gain acknowledgment from Islamic states. In a rally held two days later, Ahmadinejad declared that his words reflected the views of the Iranian people, adding that Western world was free to comment, but its reactions were invalid http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad_and_Israel#.22Wiped_off_the_map.22_controversy[/b].

As you are all-knowing individual, please, explain to me what the quote above is all about.

Did Ahmadinejad really say Israel should be
‘ wiped off the map ’?

“Israel, a small country of less than eight million people, looks out
at a world where leaders of much larger nations threaten to wipe it
off of the map.”

— President Obama, speech to the U.N. General Assembly,
September 21, 2011

“It was only perhaps three weeks ago that the president of Iran
once again said that Israel should be eradicated off the face of the
Earth. As you recall, it was about in 2005 when he [Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad] said before that Israel -- he would use a nuclear
weapon to wipe Israel off the face of the Earth.”

— Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.), September 19, 2011

“Outrageous statements by Ahmadinejad, such as a pledge to wipe
Israel off the map, made it easier to keep that coalition together.
Germany had been considered the weak sister of the group, but
after Ahmadinejad’s comments about Israel, the historical burden
of the Holocaust made it difficult for Germany to appear too
sympathetic to Iran.”

— Glenn Kessler (aka The Fact Checker), “ The Confidante:
Condoleezza Rice and the Creation of the Bush Legacy (St.
Martin’s Press, 2007), page 188.


“The Islamic Republic’s proposal to help resolve the Palestinian
issue and heal this old wound is a clear and logical initiative based
on political concepts accepted by world public opinion, which has
already been presented in detail. We do not suggest launching a
classic war by the armies of Muslim countries, or throwing
immigrant Jews into the sea, or mediation by the UN and other
international organizations. We propose holding a referendum with
[the participation of] the Palestinian nation. The Palestinian nation,
like any other nation, has the right to determine their own destiny
and elect the governing system of the country.”

— Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, October
2, 2011


Almost unnoticed, Iran this week joined the United States and
Israel as one of the few countries in the world to oppose the
statehood bid at the United Nations by the Palestinians. As the
Tehran Times noted , the Iranian supreme leader “condemned
any measure which would lead to the recognition of the Israeli
regime and would ignore the legal right of the Palestinian people
to their homeland.”


In other words, Iran continues to oppose the two-state solution.
But does this mean that Iran wants to destroy Israel — “wipe it off
the map” — as is commonly cited? This is certainly the
conventional wisdom, as seen in the statements above. But a
colleague at The Washington Post, spotting the Bachmann and
Obama statements during the U.N. festivities last month, suggested
that this widely cited statement by Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was
actually a mistranslation.

The Facts

The firestorm started when Nazila Fathi, then the Tehran
correspondent of The New York Times, reported a story almost six
years ago that was headlined: “Wipe Israel ‘off the map’ Iranian
says.” The article attributed newly elected Iranian President
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s remarks to a report by the ISNA press
agency.

The article sparked outrage around the globe, with then-President
George W. Bush and other world leaders condemning
Ahmadinejad’s statement. The original New York Times article
noted that Ahmadinejad said he was quoting Ayatollah Ruhollah
Khomeini, the leader of the Islamic revolution, but that aspect was
largely overlooked.

Then, specialists such as Juan Cole of the University of Michigan
and Arash Norouzi of the Mossadegh Project pointed out that
the original statement in Persian did not say that Israel should be
wiped from the map, but instead that it would collapse.

Cole said this week that in the 1980s Khomeini gave a speech in
which he said in Persian “Een rezhim-i eshghalgar-i Quds bayad
az sahneh-i ruzgar mahv shaved.” This means, “This occupation
regime over Jerusalem must vanish from the arena of time.” But
then anonymous wire service translators rendered Khomeini as
saying that Israel “must be wiped off the face of the map,” which
Cole and Nourouzi say is inaccurate.

Ahmadinejad slightly misquoted Khomeini, substituting “safheh-i
ruzgar,” or “page of time" for "sahneh-i ruzgar" or “arena of
time.” But in any case, the old translation was dug up and used
again by the Iranian news agency, Cole says. In fact, that’s how it
was presented for years on Ahmadinejad’s English-language Web
site, as the Times noted in a somewhat defensive article on the
translation debate.

But the story doesn’t end there. Karim Sadjadpour, an Iranian
specialist at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace,
notes that Iranian government entities began to erect billboards
and signs with the “wipe off” phrase in English. Joshua
Teitelbaum of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs compiled
an interesting collection of photographs of these banners, such
as one on the building that houses reserve military forces of the
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. “Israel should be wiped out of
the face of the world,” the sign reads in English.

[b]Teitelbaum’s report, while written from a pro-Israel perspective,
includes a number of threatening statements about Israel that are
similar in tone to Ahmadinejad’s controversial statement.

In 2000, Khamenei stated, “Iran’s position, which was first
expressed by the Imam [Khomeini] and stated several times by
those responsible, is that the cancerous tumor called Israel must
be uprooted from the region.” He went on to say in the same
speech that “Palestinian refugees should return and Muslims,
Christians and Jews could choose a government for themselves,
excluding immigrant Jews.”

Sadjadpour, who has closely studied the statements of
Khamenei , said that the supreme leader has spoken more on the
question of Israel than any other issue, which is remarkable given
that Iran shares no border with Israel and that the Jewish state has
virtually no impact on the daily lives of Iranians. Sadjadpour said
Khamenei has been consistent, stating repeatedly that the goal is
not the military destruction of the Jewish state but “the defeat of
Zionist ideology and the dissolution of Israel through a ‘popular
referendum.’”

Of course, an Israeli might conclude that such an outcome would
be the destruction of the Jewish state in any case.

The Pinocchio Test

Some might question why Ahmadinejad’s precise words are
important. Clearly, the Iranian government has unrelenting
opposition to the state of Israel, so much so that it even rejects
Palestinian efforts at statehood if that would result in Israel
remaining in the Middle East. Indeed, Tehran has armed and
funded Hamas, Hezbollah and other militant groups opposed to
Israel. At the same time, the words allegedly uttered by
Ahmadinejad have been used to suggest a change toward a more
militaristic posture by Iran toward Israel.


In fact, Ahmadinejad is not the power broker in Iran; it is
Khamenei. Khamenei, in fact, has been consistent in speaking of
his hatred of Israel, but without a military context, as he
demonstrated once again this week. Moreover, the fact that
Ahmadinejad was merely quoting Khomeini suggests that even
less weight should have been given to his words, especially since
there is a dispute over the precise meaning in English.


“Wipe off the map,” in other words, has become easy shorthand
for expressing revulsion at Iran’s anti-Israeli foreign policy.
Certainly attention needs to be focused on that — and Iranian
behavior in the region. But we’re going to award a Pinocchio to
everyone — including ourselves — who has blithely repeated the
phrase without putting it into context.

all4naija: Sorry to burst your bubble on that one! This is a video posted by Iranian on what the Iranian government threatened to do to Israel.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2lB50-kbNU


You are a good propagandist!

all4naija: That's a good observation. But, the intention of Iran has never been for a peaceful purpose[b] - the government of that nation has repeatedly threatened to annihilate all rather wipe Israel out of the surface of the earth.[/b] Notwithstanding, I doubt if Iran can do that without being turned into a total grotesque on the earth surface immediately. Indeed, one of the things I am actually most concerned about is their secrecy about their Nuclear projects. In other words if they aren't really planning to make Nuclear bomb why are they hiding things from IAEA inspectors? That's the bone of contention! They laid claim to peaceful purposes on the other way prevented the Nuclear watchdog from inspecting the purposes of their projects. It is sad though people don't know the reason why Iran is being continually prevented not to possess Nuclear weapons, for the simple reason it would be a beginning proliferation all over the world. And, we all know what that means to the security of the world will live in. Most especially, when we think of terrorism and how unimaginable such weapons can be most deadly in their hands.

It may seem like the Americans are nosing around for troubles but in the case of Iran, the country needs to be put under control. I don't know why people just conclude that it is right for Iran to possess Nuclear bomb while referring to Israel and US. I am not against using it to generate electricity but Iran plan is beyond that. Which might prompt other nations in the region to follow suit, like UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar,etc. UAE made it clear it might pursue Nuclear facility for defense purpose after seeing the threat Iran will pose in the near future to that region if allowed to have NWH(nuclear warheads).

Mind you this Iran case can spill into Africa. Not to dissuade you from your hard-held opinions we have seen how that nation is pedaling weapons around Africa, from Sudan to Nigeria . Not only that, also in the Middle East just to destabilize those nations for influence purposes. If you think US is the only nation to blame in this escapades of influence you just missed the point and you are looking at the whole matter from a single point of view.

CuntDestroyer: thank you for stating the obvious. these clowns have been hiding behind good governance and service delivery but you just nailed it on the head.

your are one brave yoruba dude

all4naija: No, it was spying on Iranian advanced tech,ironically?! What about Iranian drone shot down over the Mediterranean sea by Israel?! Stop pointing acusing finger while the other four pointing back at you.

50calibre: Lol Iran is not marked for death and nobody is attacking Iran, just watch and see, all these are just noise.

Everybody knows attacking Iran is tantamount to suicide, because

any conflict in Iran will destabilize the whole region, and spill over into isreal, Syria, Lebanon, turkey as they are
all neighbours

An attack on Iran will affect the world's supply of oil as 1/3 of the worlds oil passes through the straits of Hormuz.

China which is the largest consumer of Iranian oil will not allow such by blocking any proposal for attack at the UN and any attack of such will therefore be deemed illegal.

Crazy putin will not tolerate any attack on Iran
