This is the height of wickedness!
This people are like a swarm of locust, they ravage anywhere they go.
Any one saying the last government should not be probed is an enemy of the state.

Please Baba!
We didn't vote for you to be a nice guy!
Nigeria does not need nice guys at his helm.
We voted for you to do all that is necessary to reset the country even if you must step on toes, please stomp on it, we the people have your back.
Don't allow any group of people to use sentiment on you , these are the same people supporting the illegality especially of Wike in Rivers state.
Go ahead and do your job with extreme prejudice!
We have your back!

tit:
where is Papa Mohammadu Buhari trekking to today?

He is trekking from his official car to his office

This is change right there!

gogodaye:
Go do you basic studies in civics........imagine the dumbness you exude in your comments......a Deputy Director...(responsible for being an interface between the DSS and the public........(Mrs. M.Ogah) has turned the head of the DSS......She is no where near being its operational head....not even number 12 in its top echelon.....
Now you guys by your comments have given credence to the diehards clamouring for the reversal of the DSS to revert back to its previous owlish mode of doing things.....keeping every body except those on its exclusive need to know list.....( She was and remains the interface between the public and our ever secretive DSS.....it does appear the old hawks have had their way....the owls within the DSS have finally shut their gates....and no one can tell what is happening behind their ever secretive conclaves hidden behind those high walls of theirs....owing to some naive comments such as yours......
You guys think President Mohammed Buhari would give her the booth as you're suggesting...... I challenge his government to show and/or present evidence contradicting what the DSS asserted himself and his APC party were alleged to be engaged in...

Are you by any chance Mr. OGAH?
Sorry your wife is going to jail!

And how do you know there's no water sources around somewhere that can be potentially contaminated by exudates from the source,you know wild animals are capable of transferring such from the body to this drinking sources and on another note,decaying dead bodies have been used by primitive cultures as a source of poison for their arrowheads for hunting and warfare since time immemorial and as such are not as harmless and disease free as the article is trying to make them..

I know what I am talking about, I was once like you before with irrational fear of dead bodies but in the course of my study the myths were dymistified.
I will encourage you to look online for the works of Dr. William Bass on the BODY FARM.

GodMode:
That's someone's opinion

Common sense says stay away from dead bodies...

Leave it to the medics...

You mean
Irrational fear of cadaver?

donbenie:
Unfortunately,all your post showed is you taking the information contained in the article out of context,the article clearly indicated health risks if bodies contaminate water sources and a need for proper and efficient disposal of a dead body as soon as possible,so I still state your statement is misleading..

Where in the story was the corpse contaminating the water source?

donbenie:
How can you say a that a decaying body poses no health hazard to the living,I mean seriously do you know the amount of disease causing micro organisms that the body is riddled with and the attendant health implications if it finds its way to a living body,through water food or whatever avenue,please stop misinforming the public with half baked opinions..

Read my post above and stop believing old wives tale that has no scientific basis

GodMode:
It does..

The decomposing corpse stench releases poisonous gas that are harmful to the body...

Unless you're a vulture...

The stench is just hydrogen sulfide and other nitrogeneus gas which will immediately disipate in the air.
No health hazard or epidemic unless you decide to pipe the noxious gas into your nose which can lead to suffocation.

Please read below and learn!

Frequently Asked Questions on the management of cadavers 

 Information for the public  

 1. Do dead bodies cause epidemics?  

No. The bodies of people who have died in a disaster do not cause epidemics. In a disaster, people die as a result of injury, drowning or fire. They are not likely to have epidemic-causing diseases such as cholera, typhoid, malaria or plague when they die. In most cases, those who have survived are more likely to be spreading diseases.

 2. What are the health risks for the public?

Negligible, unless they are helping to move bodies. However, there is a small risk of diarrhoea from drinking water contaminated by faecal material from bodies. Routine disinfection of drinking water is sufficient to prevent water-borne diseases.

 3. Can dead bodies contaminate water?  

Potentially, yes. Dead bodies often leak faeces, which may contaminate rivers or other water sources with diarrhoeal diseases. However, people will generally avoid drinking water from any source they think has had dead bodies in it.

 4. Is spraying bodies with disinfectant or lime powder effective?  

No. This does not make bodies decompose faster or reduce the risk of disease.

 5. Local officials and journalists say there is a risk of disease from dead bodies. Are they correct?  

No. Many professionals and journalists misunderstand the risk from dead bodies after a disaster. Even health workers are often misinformed, and contribute to the spread of rumours.

 Information for workers  

 1. Is there a risk for people handling dead bodies?  

People handling bodies (rescue workers, mortuary staff, etc.) do run a slight risk from tuberculosis, hepatitis B and C, HIV and diarrhoeal diseases. However, these diseases do not last more than two days in a dead body (except for HIV, which may survive up to six days). Workers can reduce the risks by wearing rubber boots and gloves and practicing basic hygiene (e.g. washing their hands).

 2. Should workers wear a mask?  

The smell from decaying bodies is unpleasant, but it is not a health risk in well-ventilated spaces. There is no need to wear a mask on health grounds. However, workers may feel better psychologically if they wear masks. One should not encourage the public to do so.

 Information for authorities  

 1. How urgent is the collection of dead bodies?  

Collecting bodies is not the most urgent task after a disaster. The priority is to care for the living. Dead bodies cause no significant public health risk. Nevertheless, one should collect bodies as soon as possible and take them away for identification.

 2. Should one use mass graves to quickly dispose of the bodies?  

NO. There is no public health justification for rapid mass burials. Rushing to dispose of bodies without proper identification does more harm than good. Burying several individuals together can traumatize families and communities and may have serious legal consequences, in that it may be impossible to recover and identify individual sets of remains later.

 3. What should the authorities do with bodies?  

Collect bodies and either store them in refrigerated containers/dry ice, or bury them temporarily, to allow forensic investigation later.

Take photographs and record descriptive information for each body.

Attempt to identify each body.

 4. What psychological problems can arise?  

People feel an overwhelming need to identify their dead relatives. For individuals and communities to recover and heal, it is important that they be able to bury their loved ones in accordance with their traditions, and that they can grieve.

 5. How should one manage the bodies of foreigners?  

Families of visitors are more likely to insist on the identification and repatriation of the bodies. Proper identification is important for both economic and diplomatic reasons. It is important to keep bodies for identification. Inform foreign consulates and embassies and contact INTERPOL for assistance.

The funny thing is that decaying corpse does not cause any health hazard or epidemic!
This is a misconception!

Enough of these promises,
Let's see action!

Caseless:
when did he buy those cars? After inauguration?

He has been a legislator for some time
You know how many times he has collected the money?
Because we are shouting now, he is now playing to the gallery!
Which business does he own before he became a law maker?
His father was a pastor , it wasn't as if he is from a rich home!
So where did he get all the money is flaunting if it's not from the government ?

Galacious1:
So we can trust d bEAST? Please!

Touche!
Lol

Awon ajelurun
Bloody devourers

I don't trust that partisan and useless head of dss!
I wonder what PMB is waiting for ?
She should have been sacked and thrown in jail for devaluing and corrupting such a prestigious department.

Protection of the president is paramount and if the military can do it, no problem.
All those crying coup, it is almost impossible in this time and age!

I endorse this move !

And PMB should immediately probe that outfit call RMAFC and sanctioned all those idiiots and out of reality heads sanctioning this kind of obscene allowances after they must have received heavy bribes themselves.

Oga Dino the Dinosaur!
May I ask?
All the exotic cars and designer wines you are using to say "Na God" where exactly did you get the money from?

Yeah !
You are an hipocrite!
And part of the problem of this country!

Imagine if this money is plowed into infrastructural development?

This is wonderful!
God bless that girl, in fact she should be given at least MON or GCON for her service to humanity.
To all of you rapist, this is the fate that awaits you!

In fact this one is better than the life imprisonment!
Let all ladies go and sharpen their teeth like that of a vampire.
Anybody that do anyhow, just tell him that you should start with Mouth Action, then MASTICATE!

Every day I wake up to hear disheartening news about Nigeria.
Today, 8.64 billion is about to be given to the legislators as wardrobe allowance.
This is an outrage
A scandal
And a direct slap on the face of an average Nigerian who is laboring to survive in this time of economic downturn.
What can we do to stop this affront apart from crying and throwing tantrums online?
This insanity must stop!

bigerboy200:
Pple dat steal 19.9 million can go free?

No
Anything less is life imprisonment !

If this is true?
Then, heads must roll!

Just imagine if this was under Jonathan?

Sanity is gradually returning!

Let everyone warn their kids, it will no longer be business as usual

Rot and corruption!

And you tell me some people should not go to jail?
In fact we should support death sentence for anyone that steals more than 20 million naira!

Until we deal with hypocrisy in this country, we are still joking!
Everything is right if our party is doing wrong but everything is wrong whatever the other party does!

chukwudi44:
What do you mean by allowing " their coup" to stand? What should the dullard have done? I wonder when the ICC became the national assembly.

What transpired last Tuesday was legitimate, some fools decided to stay away from elections and lost. Even when the APC camp got back to the NASS could they win the speaker of the HOR?

Let's stop deceiving ourselves!
The question is if PDP was the one with the majority and the position was reversed , what would PDP have done?
And try and answer that question truthfully, especially in the light of their antecedence!

https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lol_idi_amin.gif

You people still don't get it?
PDP has just returned back from the dead back into power because of all the selfish and shortisghtedness in APC!
Until you all learn their game plan, you will all continue to wail.
PDP wants you to play by the rules everytime while they use the rule to undermine you.
Allowing their coup to stand all in the name of I want to be seen as a Democrat by PMB was the greatest mistake and the greatest advantage for PDP.
It has just started
Your eyes will soon clear!

Did I not tell you?
PMB u Don see?

https://www.reactiongifs.us/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/lol_idi_amin.gif

Now look at the big picture,
If their leaders are like this idiiot, why won't they frustrate the government of PMB?
Why?
That's why I was vehemently against the coup that happened in the two houses, because those people will not be loyal to the plan of the party.
They will only be loyal to themselves.
So, PMB got it wrong when he says he will work with anybody that emerge as the leader of the house.
Even in American houses, both the Democrats and the Republican struggles for the leadership because they know that the power that is there will determine the success or failure of the ruling party.
PMB and his handlers are ignorant of the Nigerian political terrain but the PDP are playing on their ignorance
