Jesus himself did not marry at that age or any age...

The irony of this vote or no vote argument is that majority of the people who are talking tough against boycotting the Anambra elections do not have any intentions to go out and vote themselves.

Does anyone have pictures of the Obi of Onitsha voting in any of the elections, what about his children? The reality is.... they don't bother!! Why will they anyway, when elections in Nigeria are like wars being fought, who in their right senses will want to risk their lives, especially for these politicians who are all about themselves and their families.

All these big men preaching "go and vote and all" should also vote and have their wards vote, no be to dey tell people to go and vote when they sit in their palaces and mansions while ordinary people risk their lives.

Elections are violent and dangerous in this country and for what exactly? To vote in the likes of Buhari and these politicians running everything down, mba!!! I will never risk my life even if Kanu did not say it.

As if the Obi of Onitsha will actually go out and vote on that day..... What people choose to do with their votes is their prerogative biko, if them no Wan vote shey Obi go enter their houses go force them to vote?

I think I should say my own.I started my 3 bedroom flat with mud block within a little time I have taken it to roofing stage then some things happened that couldn't make me to roof it on time.rain came heavily on it and a part started coming down.I pulled it down and started all over again with cement block,thank God today is at roofing stage.I have started buying the materials for roofing now.

I sacrificed trending clothes, living in flat just managing a room a time,sometimes sleeping in my office,no friends that could increase my expenses no girlfriend.

You can start with any amount available it got to a point that u started thinking of how many block can I get from this amount I was to spend on some things.

God will not come down to build house for you.They will build houses and inhabit it says the bible.

lol.... I still do that till today... Lol

Please house, I am 24 years old, just finished NYSC. I currently earn between #200,000 to #300,000 monthly from freelancing. I'm not too much of a drinker, neither am I the party type.
Will this be enough to build a 5 bedroom bungalow within 1 year?

it will depend on your taste and the type of finishing you want.

For instance, roofing alone cost me about 1.5m to complete. Yet I could have used far less if I had used camoroun zinc.

The total amount I have spent on tiling the entire house including materials and labor is about 700k. I used porcelain tiles for the parlor, ceremic for the rooms, passage and outside porch. For the pillars I used crack wall tiles, they were the most expensive followed by the porcelain tiles. And the kitchen is vitrified tiles for the floor and ceremic for the walls and cabinet.

Another money gulping part is going to be septic tank, you will need Cement, 3 quarter stone sand and sharpsand plus iron for holding the cast top. I spend around 200 on the suck away alone and another 2 hundred for plumbing items.

It all depends on your taste.

I am currently building a 4-bedroom bungalow in my father's compound in the village, I must tell you my brother it is not an easy venture but it is well worth it. I have spent over 5m and I am close to finishing it.... Just to fix the electrical fittings and some outside finishing.

I would advise you take it stage by stage, although that was not what I did and I almost went broke. I was just putting any money I earned immediately cos I wanted to finish it as quick as possible, so I can concentrate on other ventures.

That gave some of the workers the impression that there was an unlimited money source so they can make preposterous claims. When it came to the tiling stage, I decided to take a leave from work and travelled to the village to get the kind of quality materials I wanted.

Tiling alone cost me about 450k buying everything that is supposed to cover the entire house and the veranda area, this does not include the cost of bags of Cement, sharp sand and labor. The idiot tiler gave a wrong estimate and by the time he was nearing the completion he asked me to buy more tiles to complete parts of the parlor and kitchen, I was mad at him. I asked him to stop right there and I have terminated his job with me, paid him for the one he has done and just left it like that until I am back again in the village to supervise the completion.

Building takes a lot of money and your own supervision else some of these people working will be messing things up just so they can make more money, if you give them money to buy materials without proper supervision, they will just buy substandard materials for you. I went with the tiler and plumber to the market and chose everything myself while they do the bargaining.

At the moment, the kitchen and wardrobes are being fixed, once they are through with that, the next stage is painting and that will be when I travel again to the village.

I don't know about lifestyle though but I am already not the type that is always going out or eating in expensive restaurants. I go to work some times with my own cooked food from home. I am not yet married and my girlfriend also works too, and just like me we are mostly indoors when we are together, so less expenses.

Good luck with it.... Just start and make sure you are serious about seeing it to the end, you will be surprised how far you will go. I started mine December last year and I am almost through.

ojuelegba ghetto.....this kid is high sha

This story does not make any sense. There is more to the story than what the barrister has written on his Facebook post.

However, only a useless man will beat his wife because she denies him sex, worst thing he can do is get a side chick and let peace reign......na thesame wife go begin complain when you don't touch her any more....what kind of useless person worry about sex so much when his mates are busy hustling to the point he had to beat up his wife to get it.....the story is incredible to me.

All these Davido, Wizkid and the likes no dey fit get prettier girls for their baby mama ish, na to dey impregnate average looking chicks them sabi......at least with the kind cash way them get, make them dey find good-looking ladies to dey friend.....even flavor knows better than to dey impregnate chicks wey be like an average hustling street girl......nna na wa

Good day oga acunon, I am very much interested in one of your very high quality sound systems, it must have HDMI, BLUETOOTH and wireless technology. Also, I would like to get your contact so that I can contact you....i need it urgently . Thanks.

I am currently building one in my village and the roofing alone is costing me almost 2M, using step tiles..... I would like to know the total cost of building that house sir.

I couldn't even bring myself to read all that gibberish about forgiveness the man is talking about. I know for sure that he won't be all preachy and silent if any of his family members was slaughter like a chicken.

It is annoying how very political these so called men of God have turned, the main reason why Daddy GO is do reticent is because one of his own is in Aso Rock and raising his voice might look like a betrayal or opposition to the government one of his own is a rubber stamp no 2. Let him spare us the hypocritical preachy nonsense, we are not fools.

Good to know this group is still on....any one interested in voice?

Too many ignorant kids that do not know how businesses work, they just sit in their small houses and talk about people without facts.

How can anyone in their right senses compare Linda, a business entity to Wizkid who is just an artist. If many of you know how much she generates you won't be stvpid enough to compare Wizkid an artiste to a business entity.

I can bet all the money in my account that this person knows Freda and possibly a former friend, an acquaintance, a competition or a hater from afar that knows her personally..... She spew too much personal stuff to be some random commentator.

What your brother did is epic and I no blame am jare.... But if I was the one, I won't even stop or call anyone, once you are gone, I don't disturb myself trying to prove anything to anyone, I have always seen such attempt as needless..... But your brother try Sha.... Lol

Shymm3x:
Lmao.

I can't believe I went on instagram to read the posts. Shyte, I had to click likes on all the posts.

Darn!! This nyggah goes hard and he has swag - flee Yoruba nyggah. This is what you call "clap back" by nuking a sket and destroying her self-esteem.

Some Yoruba biitches just don't know how talk and every time they open their mouths, nothing comes out of it apart from idiocy. Erm, let me check: I've met two Ondo chics and they sure have bad breath. So this nyggah ain't lying - bad breath must be an Ondo girls thing.

Classic ether + take over - this nyggah goes hard. I can't lie, I'd pick up some punchlines. Monkeynization and 'Roman Imperialism' with a tint of Fake Superior Complex - bwahahahahahaha.

This ode still has not grown up....

Denrele dey lie..... Who dash monkey Banana to date number 1 guy girl..... I knew this mumu guy back in Unilag, always dressing and acting like queer, he didn't have a girlfriend female friends, yes but girlfriend na lie.... Bloody lying queer.

joseph1832:
As usual, you never fail to disappoint me my good man.

With all this alleged Dasuki screaming that he is innocent, can you tell me what on earth happened to the 2.1billion dollars borrowed to buy arms and ammunition?

This is 2016 now and it's a new government, I know asking the right questions is not relevant especially to people like you that are very quick to run off with the news they want to hear.

Like I said in my earlier post, people need to argue with the proper perspective and with facts and common sense. Unless you have a proof or a credible source that alleged that $2.1 billion dollars was borrowed by the Jonathan led government for the purchase of arms, then you do not have any valid argument.

The whole bloated figure of $2.1 billion like the OP had already argued are accumulated monies allocated to the office Dasuki occupied which spanned from the time he was appointed to the time he was removed from the office. Even Jonathan gas repeatedly said said there was no time he approved such amount for the acquisition of weapons. Anyone with common sense knows that it us not possible for any government to allocate such amount in one fell swoop to be managed by one man.

It is obvious from the way and manner the the Buhari government is using arbitrary powers that they have no strong case against Dasuki, while the media is busy peddling $2.1 billion and everyone is shouting Ole, kill am, in the court of law where the real prosecution should take place they are charging him for misappropriating Nigeria N13 billion which the man is saying is still a lie and wants his day in court. All I am interested in is the facts of the case and not propaganda and playing on people's sentiments.

"Embattled Former National Security Adviser (NSA) Sambo Dasuki has said all contracts on arms purchase and payments where done with the approval of former President Goodluck Jonathan..."
www.dailytrust.com.ng/news/general/arms-contracts-payments-endorsed-by-ex-president-jonathan-dasuki/120239.html

Sambo released a statement himself and you are talking bumkum..

Dedember 14, 2015... Sambo Speaking
"I also noted the statement of Sagir Bafarawa whose company is Dalhatu Investment which he stated that he received the sum of N4,633,000,000 from the account of the Office of the NSA. I authorised the payment . The money was for vehicles, motorcycles for youth empowerment and women sent to Saudi Arabia. I got the proposal from the President. I do not have the proposal; it should be at the office in the Villa "
https://www.today.ng/news/national/51484/arms-deal-ex-nsa-dasuki-indicts-jonathan-says-he-acted-on-his-instruction

The so-called names confirmed receipt of money, and you say he didn't mention names? Perhaps it was his ancestors that released those statements.


Metuh confirmed receiving N400m from ONSA for special assignment, EFCC said the N400m was meant for arms purchase. And you are here arguing bumkum?



Abeg I don tire for you...shiiiiiift

Your arguments are beginning to get repetitive and very pedestrian, let's argue with facts here, I just read the link you just posted apparently the link just confirmed what what the OP is saying, Dasuki never agreed to the amount the FG is peddling, instead he is arguing his innocence and pointing out the fact that they are concocting all manner of allegations and hopping it on him...... The man wants to have his day in court and the FG are frustrating that with propaganda and deliberate disobedience of court orders.

Put your arguments in perspective, even the EFCC while they are busy leaking out false information and stories to the likes of Sahara reporters, are only charging Dasuki for 13 billion Naira misappropriation which Dasuki is very ready to argue his case in court, he has continued to maintain that he is innocent until the Buhari government can prove otherwise, he us actually innocent.

And lastly, I am very much in contact with Metuh's people, any report that claims that he, Metuh had actually agreed to being a recipient of 400million Naira from Dasuki is a flat out lie, one of those kindergarten weakileak nonsense from Sahara reporters. We have heard all manner of preposterous stories about how Metuh chewed the piece of paper he was alleged to have written a statement on after realizing the enormity of his statement. Metuh is a lawyer and knows exactly the implications of agreeing or not agreeing to signing on any statements, he is not an illiterate or ignorant of the law to the point he would make rash decisions while in detention.

Any statement that is not coming out from Metuh's lawyers is a flat out lie. Here is what we know and this is from a reliable source, Metuh went on hunger strike for his rights to be enforced while in detention, Metuh is being denied access even by his lawyers and the EFCC are trying to wear him down psychologically to make a statement which he had refused to do until they charge him to court. Enough of this mafioso style of fighting corruption with force and propaganda, if the FG is convinced they have a case against anybody charge them to court and not fraudulently hustle a corrupt magistrate to rubber stamp an order to keep and abuse the right of a suspect.

Been there done that shit..... At my age now, I doubt I will be enthusiastic to walk up to any lady, no matter how cute and cheerful she looks and start mackin her...... May be back in the days when I cared nothing about self-respect and some dignity but now, mbanu!!! I would rather something brings us together that we just have to naturally talk to each other and may be develop from there but going to any of the aforementioned places OP listed just so I can go gaga straight mackin every girl that catches my fancy that ain't happening, too many ill-mannered, fake and hot tempered girls with the worst social skills will ruin it for you if you go straight mackin like that... I have seen too many embarrassing situations like that to want to repeat that again..... From the ones that can't even take a compliment to the ones curse you out for your guts..... Unless you don't mind the insults though.... Me, I mind wellA!!!!

Hmm mm.... I am not going to argue with you guyz over what you did or did not do as corper doctors, those are your personal stories and experiences but my point is clear enough, it is still all service and not an employment.
And to be clear, I am not shocked at the amount they pay you, may be when I was a corper I was but now, that's hardly shocking to me, however, I am actually shocked that they let you guyz do all you claim you did as corper doctors without supervision, this country is a jungle if actually you were left to cut open patients as corper doctors without any supervision from a well experienced hand, it is shocking to read this .

And yeah, I served in Sokoto, Sabon Birnin LGA, and I remember they had two clinics manned by doctors who were elderly, the corper doctors refused to go there, they rather camped themselves in Sokoto town and LGAs that were willing to pay them huge sums. So again, allow me to be alarmed at you cutting people up as a Corper doctor without supervision, that was not only reckless on the part of authorities but also risky even to you.

Anyway, it's all good and I understand why you need more money but again you have to think less of how much work you do for them and see it as part of your service to humanity, money will come if you used that opportunity to gain real experience and skills like you got from those risky stuff you guyz did as corper doctors.

Dimaya:
Bros, i was in charge of a general hospital. Even the indigenes of the town knew that. Out of 27 doctors who were posted to cross river state, only 4 of us stayed and we were owed 5months wages. For almost 3months during service year , i was the only doctor in the hospital, attend ing to almost 100villagers monthly and i was doing caesaerian sections successfully. Unlike most other corpers, we already had jobs. I had a job in a private hospital paying me 150k before going to serve.

Which General Hospital in cross River were you in charge of, I am very curious not that I doubt you but it is very interesting to know that a corper doctor can head a whole general Hospital and be allowed to perform CS operation on pregnant women, it is either there is no standard and ethics in the way medicine is practised in Nigeria or someone is telling a terrible lie here.

Dimaya:
People need to understand Simple economics

A doctor has more options than several other professions. :

I served in cross river state and was paid 15 per month. By the end of service year, i had depleted my savings and cross river state owed me 5months salary. If they pay, it will be tomorrow. My professions exams for that year cost me 100k. So, i spent all my nysc money to pay for professional exams. For one year, i was broke, despite knowing that a single cs i did in lagos would pay all i earlier during one year of service.

My parents advised me to reported. My fiancee almost broke up with me be cause of the low income and i was constantly told to use the economic options i had.

I feel we are not being rational here. If your brother had to choose between an offer of performing a surgery in lagos and earning 100k at once, and serving in ebonyi for 11months and not earning up to that in the entire 11months, what would you advice?

So what will corpers that are not in the medical field do or say? I served in sokoto myself, besides the federal government stipend from NYSC I didn't get a dime anywhere but I survived even though I was far away in sokoto. NYSC is a service not an employment, many of you complaining always forget that fact.....wait until you get a job then you can talk about remuneration, that's my point... You can't be serving and expecting that you must earn like a gainfully employed Doctor, them no hire you and are not in any position to negotiate salary with you except for the one they can afford to pay you. Ebonyi state government obviously does not have the finance to pay you that much and you have two options either take it as part of service or you redeploy to states that can pay you that much....

homesteady:

Supervision by who? Once a doctor is through with his internship, he is fit to practice general medicine, some doctors don't even go further for Residency.

If you read through this thread diligently, you would see doctors talking about how they were even in charge of hospitals during their NYSC.

Are you serious? Corper Doctors in charge of hospitals? Abeg can you please name the hospital? The one in NYSC camp I guess. And yes, don't kid yourself, they work under serious supervision, that you interned for a year does not give you the experience to manage people's lives unsupervised? I don't know the kind of doctors you are referring to but when I go to Hospitals, I am very particular about the kind of doctors that treat me, I will be the last person to let an interning doctor handle my case unless it is just to diagnose and maybe offer drugs, for serious cases I won't dare, that's how much experience that I see in them.

drsibz66:


Sometimes in life we all have to put jealousy aside and think rationally. We youths and leaders of tomorrow must use our heads. The truth is 130k isn't too big for a corper doctor. But its the 5 to 10 paid to other corps that is damn too small.
I refused to be decieved or fooled. The goverment is trying to fool us. Why didn't they slash their allowances ? Why didn't they say docs are receiving 130k , the gap is too much let's bridge the gap by increasing that of other corps.
The medicals are the only corps with exp before service they deserve their pay, it only a fool that will say some pple are being paid well , so its better for us to be underpaid and poor.

Like seriously, how much experience to warrant the amount you are talking about here.....the last time I checked, they still work under supervision.

uwajeh:
“On the face of it, this fine seems seriously over the top. Ramaphosa’s words about the issue seem weak as they veer too much on the side of caution,” he added."

This whole MTN thing is really beginning to annoy me. Of the four major telcos in Nigeria, three (MTN, Airtel and Etisalat) are foreign entities, two complied with the NCC's directives while one decided to play the don.

I reproduced the above quote because that has been the general reaction of foreign analysts. I fail to understand how the fine is excessive when it was not leveled arbitrarily. MTN like the other telcos was made aware of the fine of N200,000.00 per mobile line which was not deactivated and it even received warning from the NCC but chose to ignore them.

Airtel which is owned by Bharti Airtel is the third largest telecoms company in the world by subscriber base with about 325 million subscribers yet it complied fully with the directives of the NCC. Etisalat is 60 percent owned by the Emirates Investment Authority of UAE with over $800bn under management. It could have chosen to ignore the NCC since the fine would be chicken change to it yet it wilfully complied.

If the fine was imposed by the U.S. authorities which have imposed several billion dollar fines on companies which contravened the laws of their Country I'm certain it would not have been termed "excessive". I reiterate that it is a case of willful disobedience and should be treated as such to deter other companies from taking our laws for granted. And let no one threaten us with exit because we are fully aware that Nigeria is one of the most attractive investment destinations in the world.

I think the message is clear. There's a new sheriff in town and we as Nigerians expect things to be done differently. A situation where British Petroleum set aside over $20bn to pay compensation for the Deepwater Horizon oil spillage because it happened in the United States whereas Shell and co find it difficult to set aside even a fraction of that to deal with oil spillage in the Niger-Delta which is ten times worse is simply unacceptable.

From now on we as Nigerians expect every foreign company doing business in Nigeria to comply strictly with our laws and where they fail to do so they should be made to pay the price.

Let us all stand and make it clear to the whole world that Nigeria is no longer the jungle it once was!!!

All fine and dandy but font forget that you are not USA, don't have the USA economy and can't afford to have more people lose their jobs because the new Sheriff wants to announce his arrival. You dont cut your nose to spite your face.

And talking about the salary scale, I understand your point but you should also know that the salary structure does not include the remuneration of copper doctors, CONMESS from my understanding defines the salary structure for Doctors and not corper Doctors so it is not binding on any state government that they must use the CONMESS structure if it comes down to it. That states decide to be reasonable and use the CONMESS structure does not mean it is binding on them by labour laws that corper doctors must get the same remuneration with properly employed medical doctors..... Again, it is service and not a job.

sergioclaudio:

Bros, I'm just wondering what you mean by 'Big P guys', I hope u know dere ain't cure for ebola yet? It took the efforts of a lot of doctors, nurses and public health physicians (who mostly are doctors by the way) to contain the condition. This stuff is so easy, there is a salary scale and it should be followed. Shikena

I mean the big Pharmaceuticals who were able to develop drugs and methodologies taught to the doctors on how to effectively manage and cure people of the virus. Not to take away from the very important roles by real dedicated doctors and other medical practitioners but the real solution came from the drugs and lab research. Doctors would have been nowhere successful if those industrial lab scientists, biochemists and the likes didn't come in......my point is this, contrary to the egocentric and exaggerated misplaced beliefs of some of the disrespectful kids in Nigerian medical schools blabbing here about being the best thing since slice bread, Doctors do not work in the isolation of their knowledge, there has to be synergy with other professionals both in the medical field and outside of the field for there to be success, so the chest beating and childish bragging about reading in medical school till thy Kingdom come needs to stop.

If you think you are the only one that reads, try interacting with other professionals and see how much you as a doctor does nit know.

You lot talk about medicine like it is atomic physics or some profession that only gods can do, sorry to burst your bubbles, there are way more difficult professions that require very high I.Q to keep pace with than medicine. The smartest people are not medical doctors neither are they the most hardworking or have the toughest course load.

The respect accorded to medicine is on the basis of its importance to life nit because it's the most tasking job to do on earth or the most difficult to understand. I am very sure if medicine was so damn difficult, the low I.Q responses I read here from supposed medical students won't be the case. It is like the majority of the doctor wannabes here are in it for bragging rights and exaggerating their importance.

Trust me, no professional job is easy to do as some of you like to make out like if you were a teacher, an Engineer, a banker and all you will pull the sky down with your rare knowledge. Like I told your other colleague, if you do half of what my job entails without proper training, you will develop a brain tumor trying to understand it, Yes.... How's that for a bragging right?

Many of you need to grow up..... Nobody is interested in your remuneration but when a corper medical student start exerting his importance based on the fact that he is a medical doctor and is deserving of more preferential treatment, he needs to be told in clear terms that he is not special, you gained a skill equally as an engineer, an I.T Professional, a Banker, a Lawyer and the likes got theirs, you are not special or have super brain neither are you more deserving than others, if you were special you will as well be able to have their own skills, you are only a doctor, you are not all-in-one so stop sounding like you are. NYSC is a call to service, serve or get out....

Many of you after service work in private hospitals owned by your own colleagues that pay far less, you do double jobs to keep up and then come on NL to brag about how you are the most paid.... I know most of the kids here mouthing off are not real medical doctors in practice anyway, the real medical doctors that are actually in practice know what I am talking about not these opportunists who are yet to pass the necessary medical exams but are quick to brag about being medical doctors... Scheeew.
