To follow your logic, a COREN registered engineer with 20 years of experience is more capable to lecture machine design than a PhD in engineering. I don't think you know what academic as a profession mean. (No insult intended).

So a lecturer that has never seen opisthotonus ,and has no clue what to do when there is no insulin and theres a diabetix emmergency should lecture malaria in a diabetic in tropical medicine in Nigeria

Medecine is apprenticeship bro.fellows are reserchers of the practice of medecine.Fellowship includes study tours abroad and in other centers.we argue the 7 year post graduate fellowship trainibg and maybe a masters in sufficient to teach undergrads .Just so you know Thats the practice globally in medicine

Yankee101:
Yep. Lots of Indians. They have all sorts of qualifications sef not only PhD

They should hire them and train them now.Let them treat tropical medicine and remember to pay them the same salary while at it.

Frankly speaking i think nigeria needs some short term foreign consultants to breathe sanity i to the system.thise ones will not take half the crap naija consultants and medical teams accept.it may sanitize the system for all

CSTR2:
This is why no medical doctor in Nigeria will ever win a Nobel Prize.

The real question NUC is trying to ask is what is your practical contribution to medical science that warrant you a position to teach?

You obviously dont know so i will "lecture you"
Medical practitoners write evidence based research based in their area of practice.

Their findings and new approach are presented in conferences and journals and peer reviewed globally.

Nigeria is responsible for advances in treatment of certain tropical diseases e.g certain treatments for osteomyelitis as practiced can be traced to fellows in Nigeria who documented their triaks and results in papers.there are many other examples

Practitioners from a lot of countries have not won the nobel prize that cannot be a yardstick.

Just so you know

CSTR2:
Doctors in the other parts of the world can design ingenious biomedical systems.
They make huge money from patents which they sell to big biomedical companies.

In Nigeria, you have a consultant of Cardiology that cannot design an artificial heart because they don't have the required doctoral training in research and innovation.

What are you teaching? Copy and paste?

You are aware biomedics is a field on its own right?

Iretii0511:
You only see things from your perspective probably because you are a medic. I put it to you that if you would be a little more objective with your view, you would understand that the request of nuc is not a bad one. It's definitely geared toward making the profession better.

I'm sure students will gain more from a consultant with a PhD than a consultant without one.

So you think a student with 7 years of first degree and another 3 years of PHD is better positioned to teach students the practice of clinical medecine than a consultant with 7 years of medecine ,and 5-7 years of fellowship training which includes research work and practice in surgery?

Please know these consultants that teach all have long duration of post qualification practice experience

emapeteum:
This could be one of the major reasons why we are not doing well in terms of research of international repute in the medical field simply because our medical Professors believe that fellowship is equal to a Ph.D.

Fellows write a great deal of papers from their medical work.Ibadan is known for a couple of medical inventions well written and documented from research.The instituition UCH has a lot of research work acknowledged internationally to its name courtsey of these fellows...

Fellows teach the art of medicine grounded in global practice ,and empirical research.They publish and present their work globally.

So they should have like a PHD in surgey,oncology,or PHD in gastrointestinal surgery to teach medical students and residents how to practice medecine.

Someone in NUC needs to be sacked asap

These people are bringing the era of slave raids back in the 21st century

This is not normal.

moderate muslims must speak up against this evil

Dude is a silly man.And still talking in public.

How many saudis have 28 children and still counting

The Lawmaker should be arrested for bigamy

A 21 year old is not a child.

He can go to his grandparents if he wants to.

Everyone speaking and analyzing this arrangement are largely ignorant of the south west and its historic operations o protecting its forests and its people

The concept of the amotekun is not new.Its the way of the land at community level.and was pioneered also by LGAs at joint interstate LGAs as a means to protect the populace in certain states.LGAs came together funded vigilantes,who were rrummoured to use jazz and the spate of kidnapping,murder and robberies from bandits coming in from forests reduced drastically this was more than 10 years ago.With the new incursion of bandits into the south west it makes sense to revive this arrangement again with support drom the state


The vigilantes did not abuse power.They were committed to their tasks as it was a case of local men protecting their own.They were paid by the LGA.And they served with honour.

So this will also be succesful. My only concern is they are dealing with more sophisticated criminals with advanced weaponry this time and numbers.But I suspect the secret to the south west strategy is in their name....those who know will understand

The outfit must now design strategies to enable the people of the south west respond to emmergencies and attacks anywhere in the zone in 20 minutes.that includes rural villages.

The aim is to use technology and create an avenue for aerial support and local mobilization where the persons mobilized will not be ambushed.

Amotekun should study the jos attacks and maiduguri villages attacked.They shoukd study the recent kogi attack.for those who say impossible even tv stations abroad have aerial cover for breaking news.

Prevention is best though.No herdsmenor illegal aliens must be allowed in our forests or farms.Technology can help detect large gatherings too

OPC should maintain its integrity and stay seperate.e eryone has tbeir space and day.


People of the south west.All things are possible and everyone must support this process.

A countrys or regions soveriegnty is determined by these 3 things.

Her control over
(1) her money,
(2) her borders ,
(3) tha ability to Govern itself by hers laws.

Whoever controls these controls the country/region

Nigeria is doing well by taking back control of her borders,and not relinquishing control of her money.(fiscal space)

West Africa should do the same.France is attempting to retain control of its monetary control over West africa. And take over its fiscal space and laws.Its like chess.

Lets not throw out the baby and the bath water...lets find a solution.West Africa needs to shut out france from its borders,money,and laws.This may take time but its achievable and imoortant for regional growth and stability

That said france is evil. An eternal bastard in African relations and development.They have had enough time to repent and have refused

If in doubt search and read the colonial agreement. Read on france and haiti,libya and southern camerooun.

Why force anglophone southern camerooun to start speaking french overnight in official settings in this day and age.

Why march into Mali and other francophone countries because of threats to fench intrest (in line with the colonial agreement)showing No respect for National and regional borders of west africa.Why muscle ghaddafi with NATO.what exactly was his crime again

Why attempt to dump their french produced goods in Nigeria through benin republic while paying no duties in flagrant disregard of our borders ,why must francophone countries offer bussiness and resources first to france companies before any other country

Ask why is france still in Africa and what will be the true cost to make them hands off.Why have they hijacked the Eco our key to regional independence

I call on the Nigrerian Gov to watch closely french relations with nigeria closely in the months and years to come.Since we have little or no direct bussinesses with them,Watch aid organizations related to them closely.insert stooges in their midst.

Unravel the true nature of their dealings with Nigeria.And open their yawa with evidence and call them out as you have done with this lovely press release that called a spade a spade

"the CFA has been renamed the eco"

englishmart:
Abba Kyari's sister's wedding was what a whole police IG honoured despite the raging surge of insurgency and insecurity in the country. This is too trivial to be honoured Mr. IG of police From which yeye "All of us"?

We are celebrating Abba kyari and teams excellent dedication toncrime busuting in Nigeria.And of course his Sister.keep your bile within please.

Thank you to the IGP for attending on behalf of all us wey get brain and heart.Best wishes to the couple and abba kyari from all of us.

Abba kyari supporter,and good things supporter reporting for duty

Lets all not forget the main issuse here.
A child is missing.Where is the missing child.

The life of the child is what is most paramount here.Who is taking responsibility for the search.

The child or what happened to the child needs to be unravelled to prevent recurrence from other bold perpetuators in future.

I pray the child is found alive,if not Culprits must be found.

When the police slacks in timely communications on matters such as this,rumours fill the vaccum.Timely dissemination of right information is key to preventing civil unrest in a sensitive matter like this

I pray no one truly lost their life in the riot.Life is sacred people.We must all emphasize the sacredness of life

This wqs a bad case that should never have happened at all.

Any progress is good.The Nigerian legal team has managed to keep our scarce resources in country.Thats 200million dollars cash still in circulation for us.Thats good news.

People should encourage such

Its better to pay 5% commision to 3rd party firms and get 95% as at when due than to forget 65billion dollars for 20years as Nigeria was rumoured to have done and eventually letting go of the money because of technicalities due to delays

Goverment system is ineffective for identifying and following up on debts.A third party firm will take its duties more seriously with their own prefinancing for the sake of their profit.They will also ignore political constrainsts as they aim for their profit

National interest is to use third party firms for such jobs.Small minded individuals should get real

Nigerias border is her bussiness as a soveriegn entity we,'ll do whatever we want with it.Any other alternative is simply if we want to.

Ghanians should stop crying spilt milk and flexing muscle as in its not their bussiness at all

End of story

gloriaunobi:
How did he get to Nigeria if the border is closed? Your people should transport goods through the means which you used to transport yourself here

I logged in to like this comment.Abeg tell them

This is for the younger ones.Anyone anywhere assaults you like that or anyhow at all

Visit the hospital and document and injuries even where there are no physical ones document neck pain

Get willing witnesses,

launch a formal complaint to the school authorities

Tell your elder ones

Launch a police complaint

Leave school for a while

In the order listed above.

Sit back and watch justice take its course

Starzdavid247:
When u grew old, then u will know the importance of owning a home. Oga keep your economics analysis to yourself.

When you grow old youll also know having a regular source of income to sort all bills without having to beg beats having your own home and no food on table except the children send charity or having to beg persons to pay bills

Life is about choices.People who are investing with their youth are the smart ones.

The house you live in must not be your biggest investment

Wise man

Many are poor becausr to rushed to secure their own homes first

The house you live in is not an investment

It does not even save costs for you till its over 20 years in Nigeria not 10.

Build or buy your house from return on investments not from your salary.Except you are very young and can absorb the risk.

End of story.But they will not listen and spend their 10 years savings building a house.Many retire with nothing but that house and a pittance in gratuity.Doesnt make sense.

Rent till you can afford monthly income for daily living and have enough to spare to buy assets.Dont have a house and be a liability to others

They should stop embarassing us with nonsense abeg.Its like begging for slots when you are not qulaified.Submit movies with local languages end of story.

India was colonized by the british but their movies that have won over time have been done in their language and we all watch with rapt attention

Geneivive and co should take note and stop arguing.It makes them look silly.

PS nobody is marginalizing them

Little children should not go anywhere alone unsupervised.

Should not play outside unsupervised.

Should not be left alone with strangers

Should not be left alone with dangerous substances

Should not be left alone in dangerous enviroments

A woman needs the help of her husband,family or maids if she has more than 2 children to achieve all listed above

The northereners are raising multitudes not for islam but to be prey to evil ideologies like boko haram and isis,ritualists and kidnappers.

Anyone supporting that evil is wrong and if you all believe in judgement you will all be judged for the blood of those children that ended up as victims

Lets all speak the truth for once abeg for the sake of other children so they have a better life.

Northerners allow little children loitter around aimlesslessly. Imagine the numerous children sold into slavery or to ritualists or organ harvesters.This is wrong.

Kids as little as 2 and 3 years.Yoruba and Ibo children even the children of the poorest do not loiter like that.Like someone said earlier even animals take care of their young with close supervision till they can fend for and take care of themselves.

Northereners should stop having more kids than they can take care of.They cannot be more pious than saudi,iran,qatar,bahrain,uae,and all the other muslim Nations

They definately should not complain either if the child was kidnapped whIle he had been abandonned to fend for himself by the same parents.Such parents should be condemed,not sympatized with

That is what their king is trying to say

A carrear path like every other thing in life is a choice

Burnas carrear path is established in the music industry where he does not need academic certificates.But he started somewhere,every carrear starts somewhere.Sometimes at the bottom of the ladder.

Like the mail room,the teller,the marketter,the intern.It starts somewhere that appears small.Everyone shoukd be willing to start and ignore the burna that has arrived and despised the possible begginings and opportunities that others may dream to have

A good man with influence inspires ,you do not kill the hopes or dreams of others.In that he has been irresponsible with his position which is a gift

To all young ones out there all great carrears started small.Dust that your certificate pick an industry regarless of your age and be a learner.Give it your best and one day You will grow and be great.

Its their laws Nigerians should respect it.

Nigeria should also do the needful.We wont complain about ghanians doing petty trading.BUT

Nigerian markets are the major destination of multiple goods from Ghanian companies.Up to 90% in sone cases.These companies provide jobs to Ghanians at the expense of Nigerians.No one is crying wolf yet.

Time to revisit the ECOWAS charter

Watch and learn all of you

I predict Nigeria rightfully pulling out of the ECOWAS free trade agreement for breech of contract.This 3 months will be a proof of concept

See those terms have always been in the ecowas charter to keep foreign goods transiting through other countries legally to a minimum

Imagine Benin appointing a customs official to escort all imported goods that pass through their sea port for Nigeria(cars,rice,oil,toothpick,matches,second hand clothes,shoes,bags,and the list goes on)

Benin,Niger,Cameroun and togo as a country (all francophone countries) became official smugglers and accomplices to smugglers when they:

1.Reduced cost of shipping and importation through their borders knowing fully well the goods were destined for Nigeria.PS Benin imports more rice than Nigeria through her sea ports

2.Reduced security scrutiny of imported goods not destined for their countries

3.Reduced sanctions and taxes on imported goods through their sea borders

4.Allowed foreign goods to be repackaged in their country

By so doing they have broken every honour in the ECOWAS agreement intended for the spirit of brotherhood

They have opened our country to security challenges

They have sabotaged our local industries and our trade and investment sector

If they cannot meet the terms in the next 3 months including destruction of all warehouses along the border route .Nigeria has every right to pull out of the agreement claiming sabotage.Watch and learn you all.


Lastly Next step. Nigeria should use this opportunity to address companies setting up in Ghana and selling a large proportion of their goods to the Nigerian market.

Renegotiate everything to make it unconducive for them.Nigerias market is her leverage.We must use it to favour us in growth and development putting Nigeria first

PS -Even Moroco was trying to join ECOWAS

To all those quetly sanctioning this illegality.To understand this think of that brotherhood in games of throne,


The risk is near that one day they will become uncontrollable in the hand of the wrong leadership and they will turn against their very employers

The Hisbah is functioning like a State police will anybody address that.

1.Why would an unconstitutional group arrest people not loiterring but at a private establishment

2.Why would they detain them against their will.Thays an arrest

3.Why will they make them do an HIV Test

4.Why will they parade them and publish report of said test

5.When did HIV become a crime

6.The HISBAH and their employers must be called to order they are another potential uncontrolled group sadly santioned by the state this time

stinflame:
were the children abducted in the name of religion?
This is a pure case of Kidnap and good enough CAN isn't interfering.

Like in the case of the Muslims were the entire community,the Imam and even their royal highness will be glad in keeping the abducted person hostage.

Read the case of ESE Rita Oruru and know the difference.

Like the case of the chibok girls as well.A large group of christian girls were kidnapped and sold into slavery till today,thos released where converted and made to wear hijabs in their release pictures long after they had left the terrorists,no muslim or christian publicly condemed that grevious picture of released Christian kidnapp victims all in hijab abi na niquab..the long one.

All reporters in this matter must focus on the crime and the issue,its kidnapping any other form of reportage should be seen as hate speech

Northerners should also stop their children from roaming around and becoming easy prey to this in the name of almajiri.It is the duty of parents to protect their wards

Kidnapping is evil.We must all voice out to stop it
