Everyone here is saying herbal this and herbal that and criticizing the medical profession for disavwoving their beliefs.

Why not open your own herbal clinics and treatment centres for cancer and other chronic ailments. Experiment on your own therapies underground.

With constant success the public itself will advocate for your recognition and mainstream adoption.

But until then the general consensus will remain that trado-medicine is unproven.

Is it the same Abuja that Wike made so much loud noise of commssioning so called mega projects? Has judgement overtaken his works...?

This is a mix up of issues.
Wike has done a great job at providing new infrastructure no doubt. One of the best Minister's to that effect.

In other aspects, not so much. The land issue of which the environment feeds off continues to beleaguer his administration just like his predecessors.

Gerundphrase:
I have never heard that flood ever occurred in Abuja before

Ordinarily Abuja should not have flooding issues. Much of the City is within the central highlands of Nigeria. Much like Jos and Nasarawa, it is a city of hills and valleys where natural waterways flow.

The masterplan recognised this and adapted the design of the city to accommodate them. Along this natural courses development of any kind was strictly forbidden in the now famous 'green belt or green areas.

But like everything Nigeria the shaking of legs and the nodding of heads to the music has now developed into a full scale abuse. First permits were given for green areas to be utilized for recreation and with such human incursion it was only a matter of time before the ancillary needs for recreation led to the establishment of structures.

And today the so called temporary structures are giving way to permanent utilitarian structures of all types ranging from car-lots to restaurants and serious real estate.

The City will pay for this indiscretion.
The Nigerian who cannot evolve decent, rules based societies will suffer the consequences. Perhaps in a few decades we will start looking for yet another. Capital city to migrate to after thoroughly messing this one up just as we did Lagos.

How many times I go talk am.

When an economy tanks, HSE - Health, Safety and the Environment shows the first sign of the rot.
Folks throw away caution and start taking unimaginable risks.

Those that are supposed to superintend over standards, police society, maintain law and order are compromised for a morsel. They too want to survive, they too are scared stiff of losing their jobs, their patronages for fear of poverty.

Unfortunately in our case as the people have handed over their dignity, their standards of living to the few that rule under a feudal system the acceleration to absurdity is even greater.

Who will call the FCT Minister to order. No one. So the Environment will suffer more and more.

I'm afraid, I have to agree with Sowore on this.
Nigeria is the only country that has neither heros nor villains, history nor context. We just live for the moment. We learn nothing from the past, we gain nothing for the future.

His opinion, your opinion, my opinion remains that it is a dangerous, addictive drug that is a threat to mental health and is carcinogenic so for me it should remain outlawed.

Those that require it for various medical therapies can be administered the active ingredients in a manner similar to other medications.

What a bloody cheek.....

Iran did everything in its power to avoid Israel. Iran fear Israel more than the Americans. Netanyahu has lined up fully loaded 300 jets to destroy Iran once and for all, but the IRGC know this and commanded their forces not to attack Israel. Israel has manufactured new weapons and is looking where to test them. The war in the strait of Hormuz is getting boring without the involvement of Benjamin Netanyahu.

Better stop all these war mongering talk from the safety of your room. What lessons are there to be learnt from the mindless bloodshed and useless destruction. Is there any war that will not end with talk. Is there a y country that can destroy the other in the present century. You guys better sue for peace if you cannot create life.

Hmmm...60 billion...spent by government people.
Are these earned money...no.
Who will gamble with money hard earned.

They are funds from government patronage, from contacts and contracts.

When it comes to serving the public there is never enough money. They say you and I don't contribute enough.

But when it comes to what they wish to spend money on it always comes quick and active and in mind boggling figures.

You collect that money,.you are part....no you are the very reason why Nigeria is like this. Your name is Esau.
.

Age old debate.

Wealth is simply the ability to create value.
Poverty is the opposite. The inability to create value.

So:
CREATIVITY - Vision, Imagination, an active, inquisitive mind that is curious enough to act out ideas, to solve problems than invariably meets needs.

VALUE, VALUABLES - of things, solutions that are important to one, two and an ever increasing number of people.

One of the greatest unforgettable sayings I have encountered many, many years ago that has stuck

''Success is the only thing you cannot enjoy if you are unwilling to make as many people of it.'

So wherever you are, whatever you do I believe this applies to everyone.

I am not too sure that changing the players is the silver bullet. The issues surrounding football and sports sector in Nigeria is systemic.

I don't think a nameplate change on the front door will necessarily evolve our football overnight.

Even in the most cultured of societies the law will not intervene if you are HEARD by your own admission hiding domestic violence.

But when the evidence is 'SEEN', madam the case is out of your hands. It doesn't matter what you say, the EVIDENCE speaks louder.

aariwa:
That was what killed one guy December last year in the house that burnt at mainland Lagos . The fire burnt down a portion and it fell on him as he was running away with the goods he removed. He called the wife and was crying for help before his end which made many people ask between those goods and his life which one is more valuable

Remember that.
Was it not the highrise shopping complex fire on Lagos Island.
Not a wise thing to do.

This is really terrible.
Hardly a day goes by.
Vietnam. That should be capital.
End of the road and good riddance.

The Taj Mahal has always been on my bucket list.
But...kai..It is really a shame to approach the Indian embassy for a visa anytime in the future unless Nigeria can put a handl.on this problem.

Kudos to the NDLEA. Desperately trying to salvage whatever is left of our reputation.

ABUJA SHOULD BE THE LAST STATE IN NIGERIA TO EXPERIENCE FLOODING


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiVQGz8-H_Y?si=Q-hGHSUa5csXy0Bp

As a city of hills and valleys with very little flat land it should have no business with flooding except if man interferes with the natural course of it's many streams and natural canals.

The environment will shortly be in a big mess with rats running around and gray water flowing in storm drainage.

I guess the latest meno from DJT is receiving attention. Th US has pulled the plug on Somalia amongst other African countries for refugee status.

'Telephone is not for the poor'....David Bonaventura Mark

Now the grim task of identifying the victim(s).
As for them the countdown to their last days on earth is on.

The problem with you people is you are too local to know what's going on around the world.

Indiana is almost under the water currently. Would you have so many earthquakes around the world without tsunami following?

Imagine, you want to be blaming Wike for this

Under Wike's government green areas are being allegedly allocated and developed. It is simple. Green areas are the 'sump' of the city to mitigate against this exact thing.

...Kai...this country eh.

The hungry driver in his ramshackle bus should know he has to do the right thing to stand any chance of changing his story.

But he HAS to be FORCED by the public.
Classic under developed society.

Haba....see stigmatization...

No 1st aid...no help

That idiøt was there pointing, instead of lifting her or try CPR....kai😒

Sometimes, being an African is a serious concern..
Once you cross the borders of Nigeria, identifying yourself as a Nigerian become a serious concern to you...

African countries (leaders) has a lot to put in place to earn our "respect" back among nations of the world...

What is all this siege mentality about.

Who did you see in the video stigmatizing her.
They were all scared like most people will and if they are not trained like the vast majority of people on the streets anywhere in the world that will be the classic response to a sudden unexpected event.

Stop all these abeg and let us liberate our minds. People drop dead all over the world in front of people and few, very few cases you see complete strangers physically intervene.

Classic cardiac event.
Tough to watch.
RIP.

XTruth:
Lol you obviously don't understand it. If Iran has a nuke the rest Gulf will try to get them guess what USA influence becomes minimal..

No one will be spending billions to buy your weapons Again..

Arms sales is a minuscule proportion of global trade. And it has reduced drastically since the end of the Cold war.

The interest of America in the middle east is two fold
One, economic, due to the global reliance on oil for stability and growth. And two, feeding off that, they have defence pacts with a number of Gulf states to ensure that stability.

All these strategic positions will change over time as technology evolves and the world drops hydrocarbons as primary energy source, then the world will leave them in peace to do whatever they like to each other.

Evergreen4:
Trump should please leave north Korea alone. They've been minding their business with out interference

That is exactly what he said.
He has gone back to the doctrine of non foreign interference he started with when he assumed office.

The Mid East debacle has been the big and bad exception. America must find a way out and let Israel care about its country on its own. Let the Gulf States take care of themselves. If they all want nuclear weapons so be it. They will simply destroy each other and no one on other continents will care one bit.

Technology will eventually overcome oil and the reliance on the Middle east for global economic stability will be gone in a century or less.

mcquin:
Solid points. I’ve mentioned severally on this platform that I love Tinubu but if the elections were indeed free and fair, he’d lose. The reasons are simple;
“His economic policies (less corruption in the government) are on point, but only a few Nigerians consider the long term beneficial effect. The whole lot of others see immediate hunger and we being persons that love immediate gratification are not interested in a long not-so-certain benefit.”

So indeed, if democracy is about the majority, the Nigerian majority do not subscribe to hunger and will vote out the government.

If there are long term benefits for which we should all wait, then let the 'waiting' be across board. That is let the sacrifices be tip to tail. You are not taking from the many and giving it to the few and then claiming everyone is making sacrifices.

And this reflects primarily in how government spends. This government is not spending it's big ticket budget, that is Investing in the things that will create jobs, spur industry reduce the cost of living and the cost of doing business.

It's big ticket expenses are on contracts to build one tho g or the other, the other big ticket expenditure is on itself by way of recurrent expenditure that has increased exponentially from where his predecessor ballooned it despite the fact the number of people in public service is just a tiny fraction of the Nigerian populace.

Nigerians are essentially working to feed, house and cater for government officials. Why would any sane, aware citizen not kick.

flokii:
No true Yoruba man or woman will want the progress South West is witnessing under PBAT to stop.. a region that generates 70% of revenue for government, yet gets cheated, neglected and marginalized deserves to have one of its sons in power for 8 years.

So let the Yoruba vote him in and other tribes vote their own people and let us see how this will make a President of the country.

If you insist on this who do you think will be your political pansy.

Bluna:
🇳🇬 Nigeria is currently 65 years old. Out of those 65 years:
👇
IBB - 8 years in power
Buhari - 9 years, 7 months in power
Obasanjo - 11 years, 6 months in power

These 3 men ruled Nigeria for a combined period of over 29 years out of 65.

Nigeria is what it is today majorly because of this 29 wasted years of mismanagement and misgovernance.




Gowon will make it a combined period of 38 wasted years from only 4 men. SMH

Unfortunately the quality of governance has not improved since then. Still the same thing basically. People in power still doing what they want. Still isolating the majority of citizenry. Not listening to the people and running the country like a headmaster running a school to the benefit of a scant few. The gap between the privileged and the peons has never been greater.

Kai, MTN is terrible, terrible at my present location. With all the profits declared they should invest much more in tackling quality of service.

RichDad1:
I hope everyone that was against this project will not make use of these infrastructure?

Let us separate things here.
The need to upgrade infrastructure on the Peninsula is without a doubt necessary. Whether this is a state government or Federal government responsibility is a debate for another day.

But as for the coastal road, that is a complete mindless waste of resources. It is a typical white elephant project. It will add scant little to Nigeria and cost an arm and a leg to maintain in the coming years. That will be clear very soon.

And the fact that all traffic from and along the Atlantic coast will be diverted through the Peninsula....well I leave that to you folks to imagine....
