Another waste of public fund by Rochas!

Using state funds to curry favour; to impress those who will never be impressed!

On the insurgency that has hampered the economic growth of some parts of the North, Governor Aliyu said no one should accommodate members of the Boko Haram group who are in the forefront of the crisis rocking the region, adding that shielding the sect members will be un-Islamic and a betrayal of the nation.

I hope the people listen to this though; it's a sure way of reducing, and defeating terror.

D O N ' T H A R B O U R T E R R O R I S T S !

Northern Nigeria has the potential to feed the rest of the country, but at the moment, the rest of the country is feeding the North (at least financially). Alot of people can decide to call such dependency - parasitism. They could be right!

cirmuell: the Op is a joke...
Dude there are people with a thousand plus likes even before the crash

Ogonimilitant: my brother it's not possible.

Perhaps...

Can it fly?

Highvotage: Op: We just like to be deceiving ourselves. There is no singular reason why you should counter the previous post because it one sided. Everybody in Nigeria knew that our politicians are corrupt and were the same irrespective of whom they are, where they belong to (religion, ethnic, or whatsoeva).
Also, when we are criticising, it is always good to get our fact at hand and not to be creating false inpression about any personalty.
1. Tinubu owns all these account before he became the governor and was not operating them while in office according CCT. find out yoursef.
2. Atiku was exonarated in 2006 and that was why he could contested for 2007 presidential election.
3. Others that u mention except Ikuforiji were all in PDP within the time in riew.
So, if you are given facts or criticising, let it be what everybody will gain from.
Thanks.

But those PDP thieves were technically eased out of PDP because of who/what they are. How did they manage to find an ally in APC? Is it because APC is just the right kind of environment for them? Ala birds of a feather flocking together?

Behold e-Bola Achmed Thief-nubu, the AsinWaju Thief of Bourdilion,

Ally of Political and Financial Corruption since 1993!

Sincere9gerian: Congregation of tribal bigots.

Meanwhile, was the author present at the meeting where GEJ advised Agbaje to pick an Igbo deputy? In what other states has GEJ been involved in picking deputy governors? This is how APC goats divide Nigerians like along ethnic lines only to later point accusing fingers in the wrong direction. I'm not surprised that some tribal goats have already adopted the gibberish as a statement of fact.

Well said!

Loquacious Fani 'Ode, doing what he knows to best (especially when he is not womanising?

The statement said that the newspaper and its ilk should be reminded that the Nigerian military and by extension the government cannot be intimidated by this patterned bias and supremacist mindset in reporting Africa.

I hope they note this very salient point, it cannot be over-emphasized!

What is he waiting for? Why after the election, why not NOW?

I don't want to use the C-word because he's a royal father. I will kindly ask him to grow a ball!

@Op,

- Better Federal Roads
- Return of our railways
- Power privatization
- Agricultural boom
- Biggest economy in Africa
- Free and fair elections
- Stable economy and Naira
- Free flow of petroleum products
- Freedom of Information Bill and more transparency in governance
- Vehicle Manufacturing boom

I can go on and on...

But stand proud and mention these few when asked of GEJ legacy!

padeolu: May her soul RIP... One of nigeria's finest

No truer words have even been written:


Dora wrote her name in gold; she is indeed one of Nigeria's finest. May she find eternal peace!

It's sad that some soldiers have chosem to desert their country when needed most, on flimsy excuses of inadequate weapons.

Was it not sometime ago that Shecow boasted that the weapons they use were the ones stolen from the Nigerian Army. If Boko Haram use weapons stolen from Nigerian Army, how can such weapons be inferior to the ones used by the terrorists?

The terrorist use IEDs, while our troops use jet bombers, and artillery shells. How can they claim to be ill-equipped? I believe some of these soldiers are cowards, and are simply looking for excuses to save their own ar/se! The earlier they are fished out, punished, and dismissed the better for other soldier.

Fear spreads just like disease; those infected must be quarantined!

excell12go: But I really do not think these demands are too high or too much. These people spent more than six years of their lives in school o...I know of someone who spent 15 years studying medicine. The sizes of the books they read alone are scary. These guys have suffered. A newly employed doctor/dentist earns less than 200K a month.
ON The issue of CMD, How wd a NURSE be made CMD over over 200 doctors/dentist in an hospital HABA!!

Were they forced to study medicine?

Before we get swayed by the doctors tantrum, let's not lose sight of their 24 key demand.

Summary of the doctors demands:

1. Create more offices (and more money) for us
2. Don't send anyone to monitor the money
3. Skip level 12, we can't wait to collect more money
4. Refer to Nos 2
5. Pay us 22 years areas of some money, and then increase our wage
6. Expand the health bill so we can make more money
7. Appoint one of us surgeon general so that he can protect us and fight for our money
8. Adjust our level so that we can make more money
9. Increase our call duty allowance by 90%
10. Adjust upward our specialist allowance
11. Increase our hazard allowance from 5k/mnth to 100k/mnth
12. Release circular showing our allowances, all of us must be included
13. When we need to import In-Vitro Diagnostics, IVDs equipment, we don't want knowledgeable institution to check/license it.
14. Tell us our retirement age (obviously they don't want to retire, more money to be made in active duty)
15. We want more funding for our residency training
16. For peace to reign pay our colleagues in Owerri what you agreed
17. We must continue to enjoy the goodies in IPPIS platform
18. Attempt to prevent our collective bargaining (for more money) will be resisted
19. Lab scientist should stop intimidating us (we are the big boys, we make more money)
20. Stop short paying us for any reason (we want all our money in full)
21. Do for us what they do for doctors abroad
22. Set aside more money to furnish our offices (hospitals)
23. Medical director must be a medical doctor (It can not be a pharmacist, dentist, and never a lab scientist). We must chop alone
24. Stop violating our 2009 agreement. Pay us our money!!


There you have it. The two dozen demands of our doctor in plain language. The demands causing our brethren to die at home, and in hospital while doctors stay away. These are the demands making our people to resort to bathing and drinking salt water to death, as they run scare of Ebola Virus Disease, while our doctors prefer to stay at home and wait for their money.

Our doctors have sworn to protect their moneys, while our collective health is the ransom! If gold can rust, pray, what will happen to Iron?

thandii1: Wait for them to come and tell you are pained cos you were denied admission to study medicine or you have low IQ.
The lagos state NMA chairman that was brought to speak on their behalf on channels today was just so shallow and clueless. And to think they have received their salary, including call duty and other allowance for the month of july without doing a single work? What sort of irresponsibility is that? They stopped working july one but did not reject their pay at the end of the month. Where is their conscience? They refused to treat the people they were paid to treat and they feel no guilt nor remorse receiving the salary alert.

When the nma chairman was asked about them receiving their salary even when they didn't work, I read the shame and guilt as he could not give a direct yes. It took maupe and the other guy some time to make him admit they had collected their salary for the month they did not work!

What a shame!

It's a shame, and quite sad that doctors will rather watch patients die at their gates while the pursue pecuniary gratification. Not even the coming of the deadly Ebola virus can force these heartless lots to have a change of mind. I hope government stick their policy and cancelled the residency training program. It's purpose is surely defeated as doctors have turned it to a cash cow!

Was he ever in PDP?

Hardly is any of the 24 items devoid of monetary intent.

Seems to me these doctors have managed to doctor a document to give themselves financial lifeline, even as our collective health is their bargaining chip. Even Tinubu and Ibori will marvel with incredulity at the disingenuity of these doctors!

May God keep us all safe!
