Swizdoe: I noticed lasg are not strict with their traffic laws anymore

Elections are approaching and Nigerians are too gullible. PDP in Lagos is already using okada ban as campaign in Lagos, promising to bring back Okada if they win Lagos next year

tabaralph: 70% of all these gospellers are bloody hypocites especially the most popular yoruba lady among them am not mentioning name,they preach one thing and doing direct opposite ,,,,i know what am talking about !!!!!

Focus on the message and not their lives, they are human and are not immune from falling. Only God is perfect.

I know you're referring to Tope Alabi, whatever we heard about her doesn't affect her messages. Focus more on the message than the messenger.

Tope Alabi (got 8 out of her 10 albums)
Bukky Bekes (RCCG mass choir)
Gbenga Adenuga (in search of his albums)
Wale Adenuga
C&S Movement Surulere choir (from 80s/90s)

We trust and believe the Nigerian soldiers, who we don't trust are the politicians in charge of them. Now they are saying there's boko haram media, just to distract as usual. We still remember how they initially denied the chibok abduction and tried to divert people's attention until it was too late to save the girls.

FG: Living in denial since 2010

richeso:
Guy quite joo.... I hate all this pdp apc rubbish.
Lagos state own and build isolation centre ko. All the fedreal money wey go lagos wetin dem take am do ?
Na so fashola dey take credit for lagos even open federal projects.
The one wey good una go say na fashola own, the one wey bad na goodluck own.
I don dey believe many of una no be the real nigerians , just some shi.t politicians behind nairaland walls

Yinmu

Lagos state built and owns the isolation center, they know those who ar there and their condition. The health minister and FG should cover their heads in shame

there's something you're not doing right cos mine has

leTrizzle:
Pls check and see for yourself.

The bolded is a wicked lie

2cato: The whole of okokomaiko roads with no gutter andno single tarred road are in terrible state.

It has

KelsAltair: What! It doesn't have wlan hotspot? Please confirmation is needed...

It has, check again

leTrizzle: Finally got my phone delivered to me here in Kano. Just discovered this phone does not have wlan hotspot.

Iamoilprince: Nice one! If FG handled Boko haram like Ebola I dnt tink any member wud be alive by now!

The handling was by the state government, building an isolation center and massive awareness by the state government went a long way

Welcomed development, so many distressed buildings in ebutte meta, even some that are barely 5 years

If the FG cooperated with Lagos the way they are supposed to, Lagos would have been much better than this

gymer: Fashola is also a failure in Lagos state na. No portable water, bad roads all over the places, poor drainage system, armed robbers and touts on the increase, etc. why can't he faces the business of governing Lagos instead of always looking for platform to attack the FG? Despite the huge burden of multiple taxes we are facing in Lagos, we don't feel any government presence, yet the man in the helm of affair is running his mouth everywhere. Attacking the FG is not what I voted him for.

Where is the OP?

Tazmode: How else can the troubling national issues be brought to the fore, deliberated upon, solved and codified? .. His opinion sha

The National Assembly

your own is better o, I'm 28 and don't know how to drive perfectly. My two younger siblings can drive, started driving lesson almost two months ago but haven't gone back after the first practical which I messed up so badly.

babyosisi: Mine is pathetic
I didn't start driving till I was 26
It took 2 months
I was too scared to learn

johnade1: Guys should i re-order?......i don order since last thursday na

I suggest you reorder or mail them at service@

They won't fold up due to capping if their network is good. Swift and IPNX cap too and haven't folded up.

EngrOloye: U people will fold up bcs of caping of a thing.wia is STARCOMMS,MULTILINKS etc today.dat was hw we told dem den but dey didn't listen.let's watch and c.

Lamido has been linked with 2015 presidency so this is just to tame him. It is so obvious

texazzpete: Great work, EFCC. All thieves should be dealt with.

Now please why don't you guys show this much effort in tackling other Govs that are friendly with the administration?

Also, mind reopening Fani Kayode's case while you're at it?

Amosun did not increase the fees, PDP's Daniel did

Firefire: Dear APC South West,

We have been undaunted about your recent Greek gifts, it is a complete caricature of dividend of democracy, where have you been since 2011

Fashola reverting LASU School fees, Amosun following.

We believe this is a matter of political strategy that can be revert once you gain power in 2015. {A case study of ACN. Kiting Okada riders in Lagos prior to election in 2011 only to ban okada after winning the election}

The state of all Lagos hinterland roads is in a state of mess, Isolo, Ketu, Badagry area, Ikotu etc.

Can you as a matter of importance declare a State of Emergency on all Rural Roads in Lagos.

Also, call your entire Local Government officials to begin serious work in their locality and stop all these sharing of LG Allocation.

I offer you this advice believing that we should get back from you the much you have stolen from the state.

APC, you are becoming unpopular and we are all waiting for 2015 to vote you OUT.

Amosun slashed the fees when he was first elected governor, this one is a further reduction in the fees. Get informed

Akinsete19: even if pdp increase it. Why is apc feeling that they are intelligent by taking people for granted? Why are they giving we the citizenry 'greek gift' few month to the general election?

PDP increased the fees before 2011 and not ACN/APC, get informed.

Akinsete19: If they like let them reduce d sch fee of all apc state universities to 2naira 50kobo,i could rather not vote at all than to vote for apc. Cause i hate someone playing on people intelligence.

Ogun State Governor, Senator Ibikunle Amosun has approved an across the board reduction in all State owned Tertiary Institutions.

In the new school fees regime, some students will pay 61 percent less than they are currently paying while some others will be paying as low as N29,700. The reduction was arrived at after extensive deliberation between government, leadership of the various Students’ Unions and heads of the institutions.

Also, the new school fees regime has abolished the indigene/non-indigene dichotomy as all students offering the same course and the same level will pay the same fees.

In a statement signed by Barrister Segun Odubela, Commissioner for Education, Science and Technology, the government stated that medical students of Olabisi Onabanjo University (OOU) who are paying N301,610 will now be paying N176,596, a 41.4 percent reduction. Also, students of the Faculty of Arts in the same university will be paying N81,112 instead of the current fee of N126,540, a 35.9 percent reduction.

In Moshood Abiola Polytechnic, Abeokuta, the school fees has been reduced from N71,300 to N40,000 for Higher National Diploma (HND) while Ordinary National Diploma (OND) students will enjoying a reduction of N22,300, a reduction of between 31.1 and 9.6 percent respectively.

Students of Tai Solarin University of Education (TASUED) will enjoy a reduction from N103,435 for the first year students to N75,000, representing 27.5 percent reduction, while returning students who are paying N93,465 will now be paying N65,000, representing 30.4 percent reduction.

Higher National Diploma (HND) students of Ogun State Institute of Technology, Igbesa who are currently paying N118,000 will now be paying N46,000, a reduction of 61 percent.

The reduction of fees will also apply to the other three (3) Institutes of Technology owned by the State Government.
The reduction of fees will take effect from the 2014/2015 academic session.
The State Government has also donated thirteen (13) buses to the Student Unions of all State and Federal Institutions in the State. Also to benefit from this largesse is the National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS), Ogun State Chapter.
Government further stated that it will always protect the interest of the students as they are future leaders of the Nation.

1stola:
I'm a Nigerian and a Medical Practitioner (Laboratory
Technologist)
and, I am still willing to help... I have written to many top
government health agencies through their website and still
waiting on their response.
I will really love to work with anyone or group working on any
medication for preventions or cure of the diseases or to help
take care of Ebola patients.
I wouldn't mind to travel to any African country where the
disease has killed lots of people.
#This is not a public stunt!
I just want to contribute my quarter in order to curtail this
'epidermic'
#Somebody just have to do something before this thing gets
out of hands
I'm currently working in a private research laboratory and, I'll
just love to volunteer.
.
Should anyone here have any information or link, please help!
I'm also currently doing a research on how prevent the spread
and possibly, to find a the remedy for the disease.
Please, who knows how I can go about it?

ebola

How many Nigerians know that there are several research opportunities that are absent in Nigeria but present in Sudan? (Just one example of not going far anyway)

How many people know that there is a catalogue or there are catalogues of medicinal plants in Nigeria/Africa locked away in some Nigerian institutions?

So many potential medicines are locked up in these plants. In those days we read about the frustrations of scientists (even those before us) working with medicinal plants in Nigeria. It was worse for traditional health workers because they were almost completely relegated. But our forefathers were healthy as we understood it.

Efforts to integrate traditions and modern medicine have always been half-hearted. There are too many factors acting as clogs in the wheel of progress of research in Nigeria especially.

Not many people know that Nigerian scientists travel to Ghana, Mali, Ethiopia, Sudan and Kenya for examples to do medical researches. In most cases, they will lie about collaborations. But the truth is that the facilities and enabling environments are not in Nigeria, the so called dead giant of Africa. If you add “bad belly syndrome” the story gets messier.

I don’t have the best current information about what is going on today but the fact that nobody mention any potential ingredient that can suppress the symptoms of Ebola means that probably no work has been done in that area or the work done were abandoned as usual.

Someone said or rumoured Bitter Kola. What type of information do we have in the catalogue about the medicinal values of Bitter Kola? What are the active ingredients in Bitter Kola? Have they been extracted? Is there a need to work on drug combinations (as we do with malaria) if bitter kola provides one or a few of the active ingredients?

I actually worked on 4 medicinal plants and studied their activities against malaria in vitro. In the absence of a vaccine, it isimportant that new active medicines are available to treat malaria and other medically important diseases. Children and other categories of people with suppressed or compromised immunity should remain the priorities of medical research.

People should ask the various Nigerian governments what they have done in the last 0-50 years to promote drug discovery and vaccine production efforts of indigenous scientists/researchers/companies.

People need to shift their attentions more to the things that affect the quality of the life they live.

How many Nigerians have organised or are willing to organise protests to support research for medicinal plants in Nigeria. Which political party has such a program that will promote drug discovery efforts in Nigeria on its manifesto? There are a million things and reasons to organise protests for in Nigeria.

It is sad the level of ignorance that exists. People don’t care about things until they are affected or influenced badly about those things. Still, there are no collective wills to do things the right way.

I cannot over estimate the influences of misplaced priorities, greed, wealth acquisition and total disorientation of people on my lines of arguments. I cannot over estimate the foolishness of people when it comes to the meaning of life, the importance of public services and the need to instigate changes that will promote the common good.

I cannot in this short burst of anger express all the million things that are wrong with Nigeria, with Africa and with a people who do not know that you cannot sow corn and harvest cassava.

Maybe it is time for those fools in power to ask for the catalogues and see what can be processed by the experts so that in the next 10-20 years there will be more useful (approved) medicines in the Nigerian market, made by Nigerian experts.

Before the next 20 billion dollars disappear from the Nigerian treasury to some saving account in London, or to some completely mad and selfish acquisition of 10 billion naira worth of a plot of land in Abuja, maybe the people who are dying out can organise and fight back.

The alternative to not waking up is to perish together; it’s sad but there are usually simple dead-end outcomes for complications that people fail to handle with common sense.

NPA foot-dragging is an order from above, waiting for PDP to capture Lagos in 2015 (In their dreams) so as to take glory for the project

I used to, until I realised it was high in calories and sodium. Not had it in over 2 months now
