The list is incomplete.

Ekiti has Tantalite, Mica and the best form of pink and blue Tourmaline

Aregbesola is obviously the best candidate for the Job considering the level of transformation brought to the State but a lot of ppl are blind folded by mere politics and propaganga from the PDP e-politicians.

PDP- A party without ideology

Liar liar!

And is it d nurses, pharmacist, lab peeps that are more concern about d patients welfare?
Answer- Go ask ur mother next time she visits d hospital.



" Thwart like u dat failed out of med school"

I have seen half baked ppl on NL, you are not just half baked, you are obviously an iliterate (cos it goes beyond knowing how to read and write) and perhaps one of the glorified "first aid givers" that call themselves Drs.

You made several conclusions from my post which are not true and later resulted to insult (to extent of mentioning my mother) which clearly shows you need proper homme training and to disappoint you, I don't argue with babies like you until you go and get the required home training.

Straight to the market....

slimthugchimee: To talk on more ways of sponsoring boko haram

If you know or could reason this much (fast) how come Mr. President and his cohorts remain clueless?

The issue of Boko Haram is beyond that and Mr. President surely knows much better but he is also benefitting from the barbarism so will rather keep quiet.

Jona is aiding BH!!

Tinubu is not the good (true) progressive leader Nigerians need but he is way better than The combination of "Jona and pay pay".

APC is bad
PDP is worse

It is only in Nigeria that the Drs want to head all aspects of the medical profession but want to remain unprofessional, arrogant and complete chEats.

They want All nurses to have Bsc cos that is the minimum in the USA currently (without a pay rise and when they get their Phd they should not be addressed as Drs of Nursing and when they become Profs should still not be consultants) . Pharm D should not be approved (as it is currently in the USA) cos it will give the Pharmacists the privilege of being addressed as Drs which will inturn lead to them becoming a consultant and as such can head a medical institution which is d practise in the USA currently.

They are less concerned about the patients, self centered, arrogant and completely undertrained (unprofessional), harbalists are better than some of them but want to remain at the top.

Na wa o

Money making politics...........

If "Ogbeni" is Bad then Omisore is not a better option.

Feeding people with lies, taking away the technocrats and replacing them with broad daylight looters and "agberos" (Fayose, now "Omijale") - PDP agenda

And na somebody born this Op o

Hmmmm

According to the Bible, Jesus was a Jew so how do you expect him to be black?

Gbege!
Oga keshi, you better use shame collect "Super Chiken" job back. Afterall it's better than you being jobless.

My two cowries oo

Nice one "Omo Baba Olowo" reping naija since " Ema dami duro".

Ride on jo

Tell me Jona and "pay pay" are not worse than Tinubu.

Illiterate + Dumb ar.ss

For me, APC is not the best and will never be but it remains a better option to the clueless fraudulent careless wasteful party tagged PDP.

No ideology, no manifesto, no vision but they want to remain in power at all cost even if it means Nigerians being unable to feeD themselves.

Even those that support them rearly give you reasons other than selfish interests.

M*fkrs

twoondei: you probably need to read about what happened when Fashola sacked doctors. he employed medical officers in the interim, re-employed the sacked doctors after four months and was forced to employ the "temporary" doctors he got. all salaries paid back after the recall, with apologies.

I followed to the latter and for your info I was raised in a Medical family.

Lagos state Doctors will think twice before embarking on an unnecessary selfish strike after what the state govt did to them.

My take on this is that whenever the Doctors go on strike, they should loose somthing as well which must include their salaries while the industrial action lasts. The helpless masses should not be the only set of ppl at the receiving end.

The Drs are beneffiting a lot from strike actions ranging from getting paid without work to diverting patients to their private hospitals.

What disgutes me most about them is that most of them are glorified "first aid givers" gambling with ppl's lives.

The FG should just adopt Lagos State approach in cutting their silly wings.

bykebyke: René Higuita...





What comes to mind when you see that name above is the Scorpion Kick!!

Lol

phantom: calm down. it had been done before.they switched off power supply to the ICU and during surgeries . the lab guys locked up reagents. this has happened before.

Well, there is no way your claims can be verified since we have a lot of public hospitals in the country and what is obtainable at one may not be at the other.

My own position is clear on this issue. Whenever NMA go on strike for whatever reason, it shouldn't be only the patients and helpless masses that suffer but the Drs. must sacrifice something as well which must include not getting paid while the industrial action lasts.

Afterall, no gain without sacrifice.

Activities at the government hospitals have been crippled following the commencement of the indefinite strike action of medical doctors. Patients in government hospitals were yesterday thrown into confusion as doctors refused to attend to patients.
The nationwide strike has also left many patients stranded due to quick discharge of patients in various hospitals. Patients who were discharged complained that the strike took them by surprise.
The nurses who are up in arms with the doctors have taken over the running of activities at the hospitals.  In most hospitals visited in Abuja, the nurses were seen attending to patients.
However, patients with serious issues are been moved to private hospitals for medical attention as at yesterday sone of the hospitals have stopped admitting fresh cases.
At Wuse Hospital, the situation is not different as Nurses were seen attending to patients on admission. Some of the doctors who were around only offered skeletal services. The hospital which used to be jam-parked was deserted, with the nurses been the most visible health workers on ground.
At the National Hospital, the situation is not different. Most of the Patients were caught unaware and are throwing into a confused state.
Many have resigned to fate as they said they don’t know what to do with the strike as they claimed that they never prepared for it.
While some who could pull resources together were seen making preparations to move to private hospitals.
 
However, in the meantime, the National Hospital Management according to its spokesperson, Tayo Haastrup, has put measures in place to take care of patients pending when the issues between the doctors and Federal Government are resolved.
He also assured that while patients with lesser health challenges will be discharge, those under critical conditions will continue to receive attention.
He said: “What the management of the hospital has put in place is to make sure that are in the wards are well taken care of and also the ones that are due for discharge we will actually discharge them. But the ones that are actually in critical conditions, we can’t be discharging a patient that is in Intensive Care Unit (ICV) and we can’t be discharging a patient that cannot walk in orthopaedic or in a very serious conditions. We can’t do that. We will make arrangement to make sure that we take care of them. So that is the situation that is on now in the National Hospital. If you see people that have been discharged, that means that their cases are not serious, they are very stable and they can go home.
“Our patient that are in ICU are there, where do we discharge them.
We have put machineries in place to take care of the patients that are in the ward.”
On what kind of measures the hospital has in place, Haastrup said: “Assuming we have an accident victim that is about to die which is an emergency, NMA will not say we should not take care of such. Probably the senior ones. The Consultants are expected to even attend to such patients to stabilise them. The purpose of doctors is to save lives. A doctor cannot see a patient dying and refuse to attend to him.
On impact, he said:” There is no way you will not have any impact when there is strike in the health sector. It has to do with lives. There is no way one or two people will not die in this process. Even some other hospitals that don’t have good ICU, of course taking a patient out of such places, before they get to other hospitals, they might give up. It cut across everywhere.
The most important thing is for our elderly citizens to intervene into is so that we can come around it and come back to work. It is having an impact and it will definitely continue to have an impact if urgent measures are not taken.
At Asokoro General Hospital, a source who didn’t want his name disclosed said management meeting was held yesterday morning in order to reduce the impact of the strike.
Our reporter learnt that Doctors who were around the hospital only assisted the management in discharging patients while others who came to observe happenings in the hospital closed earlier than the normal closing time.
Speaking about the outcome of the meeting, he said: “the management decided that House Officers should attend to critical cases in the ward while other patients will be discharged.
“Only Senior doctors and Consultants are excepted from the strike for now because of the court order.
“The management also decided that emergency cases only will be attended to as from today (yesterday) and that includes bomb blast victims.
“Roaster has been made for House Officers who will be attending to emergency cases throughout the period of the strike.
He added: “For the period of strike, clinic will not open.
He was optimistic that the strike will not last long.
“I am optimistic that the strike will not last long because it will affect a lot of people and I am sure the Federal government will yield to the demands of doctors, which will help in restoring sustainable sanity in patient care in Nigerian hospitals.”

I think the doctors should be dealt with this time around. They benefit a lot from strike actions ranging from getting their full pay without work to diverting patients to their private hospitals.

GEJ and Minister of Health should do the needful.

Yomieluv: Best is to stay off,many can't pass the test...seems you talking about me,though not married,but have an Ex,that we chat on whatsapp,next thing,I went to see her,she was excited,one thing led to another,before you know it,clothes started flying off,till we got down..funniest things,she knows my fiancee,and I see her fiancee on her whatsapp dp...guess what-tonite,we are seeing again..fiancee is in school,and am bored....Am I a cheat?

Yes you are a big cheat and to confirm/understand simply put your fiancee in your position and imagine her doing what you are doing and please don't forget to let us know how you would feel.

I smile whenever I read some ppl's views on Nld.

Boko Haram have killed more Hausas and Igbos than any other tribe in the country and the reason is not far fetched.

With all the bombings in the North, I am yet to hear of any major return of the Igbos to the east. I know a lot of Igbos living in the North for the past 20years, doing business and have already raised their families their, they cannot even imagine going back to the east irrespective of whatever unrest going on up North.

Majority of our brothers from the North are barbaric cos they are just not educated enough, the ones from the east clamour for a very tiny state(country) called "Biafra" when in the real sense of it, they are not ready (all igbos should return home to show they are) while the ones in the west want a one Nigeria with true federalism where each region will be allowed to grow at its own pace (usually affraid of war).

I believe the way forward is to just break up but how?

We are less likely gonna break-up...

Add more superstitious footballers and their lucky charm

Yomieluv: There's is the lady I once dated,anytime I make her happy-give her money,before the week runs out,I will see a great favour,it has happened countless times..she's my lucky charm. Too bad,I ended the relationship with her..funniest thing,her name is blessing.

Spot on. I once had a girlfriend like that, met her at work when she came for her IT. I realised my performance increased and was able to recorver a lot of debt for the company. I got a lot of praises from my Director and the MD for my performance that I even resume as late as 9.30am at times without them complaining but whenever I have a quarel with her and it is not resolved that day, the reverse was always the case.

Am glad I let go of her as anything that is not natural can never be natural.

8. Laurent Blanc
Laurent Blanc, the French defender, used to always kiss his team's goalie's bald head just before kick-off. In addition to that, after a few good matches, the whole team adopted the habit of sitting in the same seats on the bus that would carry them to the stadiums. Later, Blanc confessed to a third ritual the team would perform the night before every match: they would sit together and listen to Gloria Gaynor's "I will survive." These rites seem to have been very effective, since the French team would win the World Cup while performing them.

9-11. Gary Lineker, Hugo Sánches and Ronaldo
Three of the best strikers in football history shared the same routine: in order to keep luck on their side, they would refrain from scoring any goals during the training sessions previous to any important match. Ronaldo's also known for always stepping into the field with his right foot. However, Lineker was the most superstitious of the lot. If he hadn't scored any goals during the first half, he would swap his jersey for a fresh one at half-time. Additionally, whenever he found himself in a goal-less spell, he'd go to the closest hairdresser to freshen up his style. He believed that this cosmetic change allegedly would improve his performance.

12. Sergio Goycochea
Sergio Goycochea, the goalkeeper during Argentina's highly successful Italy '90 campaign, had a nasty habit that brought him good luck. Before the penalty kicks that would define the quarter-final match against Yugoslavia, he felt the urge to relieve his bladder. "The rules of the game state that the players are not allowed to leave the field until the game's finished. That's why I had to urinate right there. Since we won, and the semi-final was also decided in a penalty shoot-out, I decided to repeat it," Goycochea told The Guardian after the second successful match. After that, whenever he'd have to defend the goal from penalty kicks, he'd stick to this routine.

13. Malvin Kamara
Malvin Kamara is a Sierra Leonese footballer who's played for several English clubs, including Cardiff City, Huddersfield and Grimsby. Before every match, this midfielder would go out of his way to watch "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" from start to finish again. When the media got wind of his odd ritual, the player went on to explain why he practised it. "I have to watch it before every game. It gets me in the right mood. It's been my favourite film since I was little - it calms my nerves and gives me luck," Kamara told the incredulous journalists.

Many great athletes use lucky charms, believing they'll keep Lady Luck at their side, before, during and after their every match. Some stick to wearing underpants of a particular colour, entering the pitch last or kissing a particular team-mate's bald head. Fearing public ridicule, these rituals are generally kept very private. Sometimes, however, the oddest fetishes are accidentally revealed, and the media does its thing, letting the world know about them while generally leaving their magic intact. Read on to find more about the most famous lucky charms in professional football!

1. John Terry
Chelsea's skipper has some of the wackiest superstitions and lucky charms. In 2010, the official magazine of this London football club reported that the team's star defender goes out of his way to always urinate in the same locker room stall. If it's taken, he'll wait until it's free. "It’s true. When the dressing room was installed, for some reason I could only go there. And the foreign lads don’t really get why I'm waiting behind them when there's plenty of spaces elsewhere!" Terry confessed. Apart from that nasty habit, good old John has a reserved seat on the team's bus and listens to the same CD at every concentration.

2. Pele
Pele is the most important football player in the history of Brazil. Some even consider him the best player of all times. His 767 official goals, 26 National Championships and 3 World Cups seem reason enough to do so. However, even the greatest believe in luck. In the sixties, the idol of the Santos went through a dry spell where he couldn't score any goals. He attributed this to a very specific event: at the end of the last game where he had scored a goal, he gave his jersey to a fan. Since then, he couldn't get the ball to cross the goal-line. Recalling that detail, he asked one of the club's employees to track the jersey down and bring it back. The man did as requested, presented Pele with the jersey, and he managed to score again. Some years later, however, the employee admitted.

3. Kolo Touré
This Ivorian defender has practised a very rigorous ritual since his first professional matches: he won't enter the field before any of his team-mates. Whether playing for his club, Liverpool F.C., or for his national team, the ritual remains the same. In 2009, this weird behaviour garnered him a yellow card. Touré, who was then playing for Arsenal, was waiting outside the pitch for the medic to finish examining his colleague William Gallas's leg. The referee got tired of waiting on them, and ordered the start of the match' second half. Moments later, Touré entered the field without the referee's permission and was given a warning. "William was adjusting his boots so maybe that's what saved him. But it's good I'm the only one that got booked.

4. René Higuita
René Higuita is probably the most charismatic goalie professional football has ever seen. And he had a few very strange quirks, to be honest, both on and off the field. In addition to performing acrobatic movements worthy of a circus performer, like "the scorpion," Higuita had a very intimate lucky charm: whenever he played professionally, he'd have to wear blue underpants. But that's not the end of his extravagances. Higuita himself was the reason for a changes to FIFA's laws of the game. The "back-pass" rule, which prohibits the goalkeeper from handling the ball if passed by one of his own team-mates, was written explicitly because of his team's abuse of that technique during Italy '90.

5. Johan Cruyff
During his stint as a player, Johan Cruyff kept two rather strange rituals. He would execute the first one before starting any game with the Ajax. Cruyff would approach the team's goalkeeper, Gert Bals, and pat him on his belly for good luck. The second one involved spitting the gum he'd chew before every game on the opposing team's side. He blamed his team's loss at the 1969 European Cup Final on having skipped that ritual. Ajax lost that match 4-1 against Milan and from that day on, Johan would never again forget it.

6-7. Iván Zamorano and Juan Sebastián Verón
The Chilean striker Ivan Zamorano and the Argentine midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron are known for having used bandages as lucky charms. Zamorano once had to use a wristband to protect an injury to his ligaments. He scored three goals during that match and would go on to wear a white wristband on a regular basis. Veron, on the other hand, suffered chronic pains on his right knee, which his team's medics attempted to soothe with a simple bandage just below the joint. The midfielder was so satisfied with his performance during that match that he decided to wear it for the rest of his professional career.

Cluelessness everywhere. Can you imagine a whole minister for state defence taking to twitter to make such a huge allegation?

This is what you get when the head is rotten, totally confused and power hungry with nothing to offer. He supports anything that helps his bid for 2015 else this AGBERO would have been sacked by now.

I keep saying it, Nigerians deserve the kind of Govt they get...............

The Senate on Wednesday afternoon confirmed former Kano State governor, Ibrahim Shekarau, as a minister.

Mr. Shekarau was confirmed alongside others nominated by President Goodluck Jonathan.
The other nominees confirmed are Abu Bulama from Yobe State, Stephen Oru from Delta State, and Adedayo Adeyeye from Ekiti State.
Mr Oru was the National Vice Chairman, South South of Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, while Adedayo Adeyeye is a leader of the party in Ekiti.

The new ministers were appointed following the resignations of some former ministers such as Yerima Ngama, former minister of state for finance; Caleb Olubolade, former minister of police affairs; and Godsday Orubebe, former minister of Niger Delta Affairs.

Mr. Shekarau, a founding member of the All Progressives Congress, APC, decamped to the PDP after the former’s structure in Kano was handed to the incumbent governor, Rabiu Kwankwaso, who had decamped from the PDP to the APC.

The new ministers would now be sworn-in by the president and positions assigned to them.

Alubosa: i know some eeediots would blame Boko Haram for the explosion and start giving them undeserved attention....just like a clown just told me BH has infiltrated SW and they want to start from Odua ancient town! ... this has nothing to do with BH but the ongoing politial rally in the state......the perpetrators were alleged to be political parties thugz

Sooo possible. Am sure if it were BokO Haram attack, Ife people for don kill scores of Mallam in the city.

From what I heard on Channels TV News @10, it's got more to do with d upcoming election in d state and the explosion took place beind the compound of a serving commissioner.
