what about you who may not respect men? Afterall, as a dominatrix, you whip, you kick, etc. Lol. Aburo, do you keep anybody you love? Am grateful that you don't love me that much to kick the daylight out of me. I pity your partner. And your clients, who are now bruised up?

Why should I love you like that when you are a sissy called male?. I love real men, men that can stand my pressure and not runaway husbands like you who cannot impregnate a woman. I don't want to bruise you, daddy.

You are a christian woman bigot who has no respect for men.

How did you conclude this?

funmilola, or funmilayo.

hotFunmiDominatrix.

Let me ask the ekiti girl in all her agidi how she conclude that I like other people's blood. KarmaMod: What made you think I love blood, when Islam forbids the eating of it? If you can't explain articulate yourself in your explanation, then you will have to give me the two knees, instead of the One that you said and then your yinmu simi, you have to do it in front of me, and not behind me. Ora, Oya oo. And she had left months ago.

By the way Suratul Lumazah, in the Qur'aan is against those "insincere gestures," like yimu and making faces.

Stop chasing a married woman. Do you have morals at all?. Daddy indeed!. Go and visit your Egyptian and igbo wives with your capped size 2.

The human soul immortal?? Who told you that crap?? Have you seen the human soul before?? What do you refer to as the human soul?? How did yur soul come into existence?? Does our semen and eggs also have X & Y soul chromosomes??

Blessed are those who did not see,yet, they believed.

Otherwise, they are heading to hell according to the bible in the book of Psalms and I quote

How will they head to hell if they are nonexistent like you said?. The human soul is indeed immortal.

no one is absolutely sure of who killed them,but from the process of deduction,and what has been obtained from the media since then,the culprits are from the same south west,as for religious bigots well politicians usea system that works in particular areas, in the south west,east they don't need to brainwash thugs because the thugs obtained in these areas are much more enlightened so are willing to sell their services for money,

Process of deduction?. Will you also like the process to be applied to you when they are making arrests?. How can you charge somebody with murder on the grounds of the deduction principle?. Even motive does not cut it for me if there is no proof. How else can you prove to me that Funso and the Ekiti murders were committed by Yorubas and not Hausas or Tivs?

the only difference between the two is that northern politicians pay less for mayhem than their counterparts in the south west/east but are basically the same

Good, they get theirs on a platter of gold and I will be fixing wrong if it doesn't happen again in the next 6 months.

last year sometime,if you know anyone conversant with politics in these areas they ll tell you,to add to that houses,cars,even the king of illesha's palace was burnt during another ac/pdp mayhem YET these was between yorubas without any hausas

How sure are you there were no full or half blooded hausas?

distance is not a barrier to a breakdown of law and order or causing mayhem and destruction,it didnt stop the ethnic riots that happened in lagos many years ago

If distance is not a barrier, the whole Al Qaeda network would've turned the US into ruins.

@Poster-Redhotchic,

Just because you are looking for publicity to Jos, you stole a picture from another website and made people believe its from JOS.

This girl is full NSI.

Please People,
The picture posted on this thread - https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-202599.128.html - of bodies of dead women lying on the street by redhotchic IS NOT FROM NIGERIA.
Its a picture of TUTSIs mudered in Rwanda 1994 genocide.


Below is the link to the website where the picture was 'STOLEN'
http://www.lindamelvern.com/photography.htm

If you doubt it just go to google images and search for rwanda genocide and see that that picture will come up within the first five result.

I came across this picture myself on the internet JUST SOME FEW DAYS AGO.


PLEASE NIGERIANS, DISREGARD THAT PICTURE. IT IS NOT FROM JOS! Shocked Shocked Shocked

that girl sef,

Get your facts well please. The picture was initially posted by Bilgatesp on page 4 : https://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-202599.96.html of the same thread and I reposted the picture from his source for my response on page 5. I don't do plagiarism because i can express myself without them.

For those laughing, you can see the level of their idiocy because they would've checked out your accusation before opening their dirty mouth that has nothing to offer but butchering innocent people in cold blood.

why just Muslim men?

Why waste your time on an islamic bigot that has no single respect for women?.

What does this have to do with anything? Who said this topic is about proving whether there are christians in the north and the south or if there are muslims in the south or norht?

If it offends you that the example used are muslims, then tell allah to change the quran and stop ordering the killing of christians.
First your excuse is that it's the arabic culture that is inserted in islam, which excuse is it now? that the arabic culture got inserted into nigerian culture islam?

look if you do not know how to follow a thread respectfully cease from posting.

Thank you very much.

One day they will pay for the lives of the innocent children they murdered

The day is here.

lucabrasi:



1.do you agree or disagree with the assertion that there are criminals ,murderers e.t.c amongst all the tribes and not just the hausas, remember bola ige's killers,funso williams e.t.c killers are still walking around free,check the other thread where five little kids were killed in cold blood in ekiti,I'm sure you are conversant with the ones in oyo state and osun including other south western states,same goes for the east the assasination of the nba chairman and his pregnant wife i cold blood amongst other killings i dnt remember off head

How sure are you that Bola Ige's, Funso's and the Ekiti murderers are Yorubas?. I am not saying there are no Yoruba murderers but there is a difference between hiring a killer to assassinate someone you had differences with than a legion of bigots terrorizing a whole city while requesting for support from their nuclear state.

2.as to my second assertion,isnt it obvious that the almajiris/political thugs are being teleguided to do all these stuffs?or dyu think they all just woke up one day and decided to start killing all these people?if you r in nigeria then you will remember the time policemen made a huge discovery of a cache of arms and ammunitions in dangote trailers covered with wheat, it was shown on tv and much ado was made about it but up untill today nothing has been done, if you don't know then i hope you realise that our politicians use religion and ethnicity as a primer to detonate often ignorant,illiterate youths into orgies of mayhem and destruction, same thing happened in osun state between pdp where about 10-20 people were killed last year,same happened intermitently in ibadan which you have read in the news, if hausas were that wicked and hated every other tribe please answer these questions,

When?

a)how come thousands of ibos ,yorubas and other tribes are not being killed all the time in lagos where they all live,trade and socialise together in harmony?i know there was a riot but that was years ago and a one off.

Because it will be difficult for them considering how far away Kano is from Lagos.

Like someone asked earlier,why is a delta Igbo man now the president of Ohaneze ndi Igbo ?
and why are there Rivers state and delta Igbos in the World Igbo congress here in the USA?

I wonder oh. Who can answer this question?

REdHOtCHIc

atimes i see you like a big fool, you are asking of what may happen in the next thirty years, now tell me what has happened in the past thirty years, ?

Forget the past for it's gone and work towards a better future.

Antidote for killer baby drug arrives tomorrow
By Chukwuma Muanya and Azimazi Momoh Jimoh,Abuja

AN antidote to the killer teething drug, My Pikin, which has claimed the lives of many babies is to arrive the country tomorrow.

However, death toll from the drug has hit 42 following the demise of five more children on Monday at the Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), Zaria, Kaduna State. As at Friday November 28, 2008, 37 children had died from taking the drug.

The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC), ordered the importation.

Head Public Relations Unit of NAFDAC, Abubakar Jimoh, told The Guardian yesterday that the agency received a clinical case report from ABUTH on Monday on the death of five more children. "The children still died in spite of dialysis treatment because the kidneys were already damaged. In Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital (ABUTH), seven children who took My Pikin are still on admission," he said.

Jimoh said NAFDAC is making every effort possible to address this problem, including urgent importation of an antidote as requested by a hospital. "This was done yesterday and 100 doses will be flown in on Thursday morning from London to be distributed to the major hospitals where the cases have been reported," he said.

A breakdown indicate: 20 from Lagos University Teaching Hospital (LUTH), seven from University College Hospital (UCH), Ibadan, and 16 from ABUTH. The seven from UCH include the five that have been unaccounted for after they discharged themselves against doctors' advise.

Jimoh said a total number of My Pikin that have been retrieved from across the country is 425 bottles: 297 from Rivers State; 81 from Kaduna State; and 47 from Lagos.

He said reports from 33 states have been received. "Findings show that the distribution of My Pikin is restricted to Lagos, Kaduna, Aba and Port Harcourt.

"1,675 outlets were visited, including Pharmacies, patent medicine stores, market stalls, clinics and hospitals. 2,057 bottles were recovered with (batches: 01708, 01508, 01908, 00207, 01308, 01408, 01208, 00508, 02008, 01408, 01007, 01305, 02208, 02108, 00806, 00207, 01108, 01407, 00706).

"Out of the total, 255 bottles of batch 02008 (the contaminated batch) were recovered. Over the last few days, NAFDAC has endeavoured to trace the procurement and distribution of the chemical marketers, with a view to tracing the contaminating chemical from its source to its end."

He said the agency was making concerted efforts to track down the main importer of the contaminated chemical sold to Barewa Pharmaceuticals Limited, the manufacturers of My Pikin. "This action is very crucial in order to stop illegal imports, even though the Pharmaceutical Company was not supposed to have sourced its raw materials from open markets, and worse still, obtained decanted quantities of the said raw material into an un-labeled and unsealed plastic container. Barewa Pharmaceuticals is responsible for ensuring that it sources all raw materials from credible certified chemical importers, who would have issued a Certificate of Analysis for each raw material and in its final container. The Jerry-Can of chemical found in the company's warehouse had no label, no seal and no Certificate of Analysis accompanying it," Jimoh said.

Meanwhile, in an interview at the National Assembly yesterday, outgoing NAFDAC chairman, Prof. Dora Akunyili, said NAFDAC was on top of the situation.

On the task before her successor in NAFDAC, Akunyili said: "I would want my successor not only to build on what we have but think of new ideas because we need to continue to think up new things to do since the criminals are not resting but also working hard to overtake us and we will not allow them to over take us."

She advised that all tendencies of being compromised should be avoided.

"The most important thing in regulation is to avoid being compromised. When a regulator is not compromised, the job is 90 per cent done. So I believe that NAFDAC will continue to move ahead even without my being there because we have put in place standard operating procedures and guidelines. We have so much institutionalized the system that it no longer depends on any person or group. I therefore feel very strongly that the system will be sustained and will surpass what it is today.

I will still be looking into the place because NAFDAC is like a baby to me. There is no way I can be anywhere in this country without finding out what is happening there and how they are doing and offering my advice."

My Pikin: NAFDAC arrests Barewa MD, three others

By Niyi Odebode and Victor Sam

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control, on Tuesday, said that it had arrested the Managing Director of Barewa Pharmaceuticals Limited, Mr. Kola Okunola, the manufacturer of the alleged contaminated teething mixture, My Pikin.






The Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof. Dora Akunyili, who said this in an interview with journalists at the Senate on Tuesday, said the agency was doing everything possible to mop up what was left of the drug from the market.

She said this just as five more children, aged four months to two years, died of renal failure between Friday and Monday at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja.

Besides the managing director, the agency had also arrested the quality assurance manager of Barewa, its production manager and sealed another firm, Gauze Pharm Ltd, Enu-Ifite Village, Awka, Anambra State.

According to the agency, Gauze was sealed because Tranxell Ltd in Ilasamaja, which sold Propyleneglycol to Barewa, also sold the chemical to the Awka-based company. NAFDAC had arrested the owner of Tranxell, Ikem Omalu, last Thursday.

The agency added that it arrested one pharmacist, T. Makinde of Tomak Pharm, in Port Harcourt, Rivers State.

NAFDAC said that the death toll had risen to 34, stating that the pharmacist was arrested on November 26 "because he went to Aba and retrieved all the My Pikin teething mixture he supplied to his customers and hid them."

Akunyili said that the agency would get to the root of the matter. She said, "It is as important as mopping and stopping people from buying it. Now most people have gotten the information thorough our enlightenment.

"The MD of Barewa has been arrested and he is giving us useful information. We have found out that the basic problem was the procurement of the chemical propylene glycol in jerry cans.

"It was not procured in its original containers. The original containers have certificate of analysis and certificate of clean bills. So that you can be sure of what you are buying.

"But they went and bought it from Ojota (Lagos) open market from somebody who bought from somebody in Ojota open market in jerry cans."

According to Akunyili, the contaminated chemical was used for the preparation of the drug in batch number 020008 3000 bottles.

She also said efforts were on to make Nigeria a hub for the production of reliable pharmaceutical and food products in Africa so that our products would be accepted just like drugs from India and China.

She added, "The most important thing in regulation is to avoid being compromised. When a regulator is not compromised, the job is 90 per cent done. So I believe that NAFDAC will continue to move ahead even without my being there because we have put in place standard operating procedures and guidelines.

Investigations by our correspondent on Tuesday showed that deaths at LASUTH occurred at new dialysis centre of the hospital.

Our correspondent learnt that mothers of four of the dead children administered the drug on the kids.

A doctor at the Bola Tinubu Ward Two, who pleaded for anonymity, said, "About eight children are on admission for cases of renal failure. The children exhibited conditions similar to those that had earlier died of renal failure. In the latest deaths, one of the mother said that she did not give the teething mixture on her child."

Efforts to get the Chief Medical Director of LASUTH, Dr. Femi Olugbile's comment did not succeed. When our correspondent got to the hospital at 1:30 pm on Tuesday, he was told to wait as the CMD had gone for a meeting with the health commissioner.

He had not return by 4pm when our correspondent left the hospital.

The deaths at LASUTH occurred just as the Chief Medical Director of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Idi-Araba, Prof. Akin Osibogun, announced the results of investigation into deaths of 20 children in the hospital.

He said that findings by the institution showed that only 43 per cent of the children admitted to the hospital for renal failure took the teething mixture.

In an interview with our correspondent, Osibogun said that others did not take the teething mixture, which NAFDAC claimed was contaminated.

Explaining the investigation carried out so far by the hospital, the chief medical director said that the institution carried out autopsies on the children to know whether they took contaminated milk, which caused renal failure among Chinese children.

He, however, said that the test was negative as the institution discovered that the children did not take the any contaminated milk.

Osibogun added that LUTH, in collaboration with the Lagos State \Government had collected samples of paracetamol syrup from markets across the state for analysis.

Nigeria among top 10 telecoms nations
By Sonny Aragba-Akpore, Deputy Communications Editor

WITH a monthly growth figure of 1.1 million new subscribers to various mobile networks, Nigeria is now the eighth fastest growing telecommunications environment in the world.



advertisement

There are now 57 million connected subscribers to the Nigeria's five mobile networks of MTN Nigeria, Globacom, Zain, Etisalat and M-tel.

In a similar development, European telecommunications ministers have endorsed a plan to cap retail prices for sending SMS (Short Message Service) text messages and browsing the Internet using mobile phones while abroad.

In September, the European Union's (EU's) executive body, the European Commission (EC), proposed slashing both the retail and wholesale prices for text messaging by introducing caps of 0.11 and 0.04 respectively. Average retail prices are currently estimated at around 0.29 Euros, the commission said.

It also proposed a cap on the wholesale price for downloading data of one per megabyte, and called for further reductions in the cost of voice calls when roaming.

Chief Executive Officer of the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), Dr. Ernest Ndukwe, reeled out statistics yesterday from the books of GSM Association, the global trade group of over 700 mobile operators in 218 countries and territories.

Citing Quarter one of 2007 as a reference point, Nigeria added 3.3 million new subscribers in three months thus joining the top 10 on the global mobile networks.

China's 18 million, India (13.7m), Pakistan (7.6 m), Indonesia (5.3m, Iran (5.1m), Brazil (3.8m), Argentina (3.8m) are ahead of Nigeria.

Thailand (3.2) million and Russia (3. 2) million complete the chart.

Ndukwe spoke in Lagos yesterday at the 9th Distinguished Electrical and Electronics Engineer Yearly Lecture (DEEEAL 2008) hosted by the Nigerian Institution of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, a division of the Nigerian Society of Engineers.

In his 32-paged lecture entitled "From Telecommunications Back waters to a Regional Hub: Tracking the Role of the Regulator in Nigeria's Telecom Revolution", Ndukwe said the growth recorded in the sector has been fuelled by adequate, responsive and transparent regulation.

Specifically, he told his audience including Zenith Bank's Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Jim Ovia, who chaired the occasion that besides the significant growth rate recorded, the sector has raked in additional investment in the excess of $12 billion between January 2001 and October 2008, and government alone has realised over $2.5 billion from spectrum auction.

This is besides import duties and taxes from telecoms companies, which have contributed substantially to the government revenue profile.

He said the beauty of the Nigerian telecoms environment was that it is open to competition through effective and transparent regulation.

The opening up of the market to competition in all segments of the industry has resulted in major drop in prices for telecommunications services.

Pre-2001, the cost of subscription to MTel's analogue mobile services was over N60, 000 per line. In 2001, the GSM subscription started with a price of N20, 000 per line and today, this figure has fallen to almost zero. The tariff for calls on the GSM network was as high as N50.00 per minute. Today, a call on a GSM network can be made for lower than N25.00 per minute (mobile to mobile).

Ndukwe said, although, it does not set retail prices, the commission consistently monitors the prices at which the operators offer their services to the public. In the first instance, the commission approves all tariffs as stated in the Nigerian Communications Act 2003, and thereafter, monitors their implementation.

The commission, however, intervenes as necessary in determining interconnect rates for the industry. The combined effect of the two interconnect rate determinations made in 2004 and 2006 was a reduction of the mobile termination rate from about N30 to N18 per minute in 2003 and subsequently to N11.40 per minute in 2006. This has enabled the fixed operators reduce their retail tariffs for calls to mobile networks to as low as N20.00 per minute. The commission will be initiating a process for reviewing the interconnect rates in the next few months in line with international practice.

The commission has continued to implement the policy of licensing competitive operators in all segments of the market. "Today, the Nigerian ICT market remains the most competitive ICT market in Africa, with service providers competing fiercely for market share", Ndukwe said.

The NCC is widely acknowledged as a model telecommunications regulatory institution in Africa and in the past few years, has played host to various representatives from African telecommunications regulatory authorities on study tours. It is the commission's intention to continue to partner with the ITU and other development agencies in furthering the exchange of experience and expertise necessary for global best practices regulation in the region. NCC facilitated the establishment of the West African Telecommunications Assembly (WATRA), which it has continued to nurture and support, and is also very active within the African Telecom union (ATU), and the ITU.

With its current growth pattern and its position in Africa, Nigeria through the NCC, remains committed to facilitating the growth of the Nigeria's telecommunications sector, and taking its leadership position in telecommunications development in Africa.

Although tremendous progress has been witnessed in the telecommunications sector, Ndukwe admitted that there nonetheless remain numerous challenges.

"A key challenge remains the issue of ensuring optimum quality of service (Q0S) in the networks. However, the Commission is working assiduously to ensure that the quality of service continues to improve significantly within the shortest possible time. The major contributor to the current Q0S challenges had been network capacity constraints as the network operators had not been able to expand their networks fast enough to meet the ever growing demand by subscribers."

"Rapid roll out of networks resources such as base station and switches, which should result in improved quality of service, have been hindered by insufficient transmission infrastructure across Nigeria, with optic fiber and microwave transmission lines only available in limited number. The WiN project aims at ensuring that all the states of Nigeria are linked to the national optic fiber backbone infrastructure", he explained.

Therefore, the commission in consultation with the operating companies is offering incentives that will encourage more rapid expansion of the transmission infrastructure through the development of fiber transmission cables.

Since 2003, over 17000km new optic fiber cables have been installed. There is another on going project, which involves the installation of fiber cable over electronic power lines. This has greatly increased the long distance transmission capacity available to support the fast network growth.

"The commission expects that in the next two years Nigeria will be fairly well served with transmission capacity to support anticipated large-scale demand for broadband, voice and data services", Ndukwe said.

"Ministers have answered the European Commission's call for a speedy response to the SMS and data roaming rip-off very positively," said Viviane Reding, the telecommunications commissioner.

EU citizens sent 2.5 billion SMS messages, generating 800 million for their mobile phone operators last year, the commission said. The cost of sending messages while roaming can be 10 times more than sending a message from within the home country.

Slashing this price is seen as an essential part of creating one single European telecoms market, and an excellent way of illustrating the merits of the single European market to consumers.

"I am confident that with Parliament, we will ensure that consumers travelling in the E.U. will save money when sending texts and surfing the Web with a mobile phone as of 1 July 2009. This would send a clear message of consensus that the EU single market is there to serve European citizens as well as businesses," Reding said.

Under the proposed re-drafting of the 2007 roaming regulation, roaming customers should also receive an automatic message with data roaming charges for the country they have entered. From summer 2010, consumers should be able to specify in advance how high their data roaming bill can go before the service is cut off -- a measure designed to put an end to what the Commission calls "bill shocks".

I hope it will come to pass.

Trust me, it shall come to pass.

deepzone is the girl in question Lips sealed
lmfao @fancy degree

Lol, you know i will declare my Nigerianess even when all these pussy men here will deny my motherland. i am more patriotic than any nairalander including you.

lol Itsekiri Ijaw Urhobo dey fight and kill each other and don't even like Igbo Deltans so biko I don't see why anyone should look up to Deltans.

Are the yorubas not fighting each other?. Are the igbos not fighting each other?

The best way to deal with northern hausa madness is to reply them each time with the same bull shit. If they kill 20, kill 100 of them and fight on. Then they will crawl back to their senses. Turning the other cheek and running away does nothing but invite more trouble but when u reply them they stop. I'm happy Christians in Jos did not waste time showing them pepper. The ones in the East that are hiding unlike before have now realized that my generation of Igbos are not that of the 60s who tolerated their nonsense and ony asked for separate state. I say no need to even scream Biafra. Just mow them down any time they attack and tell em ndo na ONE NIGERIA we dey. Na them go declare Biafra for us sef

Nigeria is in trouble.

you are a dreamer keep on dreaming. it would never happen in nigeria,

Oh ye of little faith. I have a dream.
