Validated:Don't be silly. What will a barber do to the president in a place with top level security like Aso Rock? Doctors and nurses are potentially far more dangerous because they can put anything into your system. Did you not hear that Aso rock clinic has no panadol? Have you visited any government hospital of late? Pls go and see eyesore.You clearly don't KNOW Nigeria. Nigeria is not your village. If they lack Panadol in Aso Rock clinic, it's likely because no one goes there for treatment, and it's just a token facility. If you think that that describes the situation in the top private hospitals in this country, or even in major public hospitals, then you clearly don't know Nigeria. |
Penguin2:My brother, are you minding these people? How much does a doctor or nurse earn that they can resist a 5 million dollar cheque from a powerful politician to spike the president's tea with something? Honestly, 70% or more of doctors in Nigeria will do it without blinking, so long as they know they won't be caught. Carry that their Hippocratic oath or whatever and put down somewhere abeg. |
Olatunji1929:How is it a 'justification'? I think you meant a 'rationalization'. But even the common held notion that they travel abroad due to 'inadequate' medical facilities in Nigeria, is also a rationalization. It certainly is not true. There are many private hospitals in Abuja alone being run by top Nigerian doctors who've worked in the world's best hospitals, and have now set up private practices in Nigeria, with world class equipment. There are even some in Enugu, Owerri etc, not to mention Lagos, Abuja, Port Harcourt. These are where the foreign diplomats and oil executives go to for treatment, and so on. So there is no shortage of world class hospital treatment in Nigeria, if you can afford it. |

VictorUSA:Kindly SHUT UP please. Hypocrite. SWEAR ON YOUR LIFE that were YOU to be appointed Federal Oil Minister, that YOU would not use the position to enrich yourself. Go on. Swear it here before God and Man. And if you cannot, which I know you cannot, then kindly SHUT IT. Those leaders did not drop from outer space. They are Nigerians like you with the same morals as YOU. This is not a thread for loud-mouthed, holier-than-thou hypocrites. |
XXXXTENTACION:This is simple. Take 3 minutes and put yourself directly in their position. It makes all the sense in the world. If I was president of Nigeria, I would probably seek medical treatment overseas. Based purely on security reasons, not because I think there's no hospital in Nigeria that can treat me. It only seems unreasonable when you're on the outside looking in. Heck, even your FAMILY would warn you against seeking treatment locally, if you are a leader in this country, based on security concerns about infiltration of hospital staff by your 'enemies'. The leaders are perfectly happy for you to think they are snubbing the ''low standards'' of the hospitals by flying abroad, because the real truth is far more ....embarrassing.

Praxis758:Bro, everybody swore an oath to one thing or the other. Even the leaders themselves swore an oath to God Himself in the Bible or Koran, on assumption of office. Me, I have said the National Pledge in my time, which is the common man's oath. I pledge to Nigeria, my country To be faithful, loyal, and honest To serve Nigeria with all my strength To defend her unity And uphold her honour and glory So help me God. Generally speaking, none of these beautiful oaths comes between us and money when the choice arises. |
The REAL Reason Our Leaders Travel Abroad For Medical Treatment https://d1a2ot8agkqe8w.cloudfront.net/web/2018/09/b737-max-8-air-peace-c-boeing-640_74743.jpg Most Nigerians think the reason some of our leaders travel abroad for medical treatment is because they lack faith in the competence or ability of Nigerian hospitals to treat them, because of their supposed low standards of equipment etc. Nothing could be further from the truth. These leaders are well aware that there are NUMEROUS top class private hospitals in this country, staffed with excellently trained personnel, and modern up-to-date equipment, and even some fairly decent public teaching hospitals. The REAL reason they choose to go abroad for treatment is lack of TRUST in the security apparatus of hospitals, which they view as easily pregnable by sinister forces, primarily their political enemies. They are afraid that a doctor or nurse, or even a cleaner, could get bribed to inject them, or spray them with something that would terminate their life, or maim them for instance. Or slip something into their morning tea that would catapult them to the great beyond. Politics in Nigeria is mired in distrust and suspicion of one's 'political enemies', and a real fear of the extent they could go to neutralise their rivals. This is why no matter how many 'world class hospitals' you build in Nigeria, in this political climate, this dog-eat-dog political system we operate, we will always have leaders traveling abroad for medical treatment. They have no 'political enemies' in London or New Jersey, or India, who would try to eliminate them, and so they feel much safer getting treatment there. It's that simple.

emmnprince:It is not lack of faith in the competence of our hospitals. It is fear of political enemies interfering in the treatment process. |
BedroomSecret:Bro, can you imagine? They themselves don't trust the vaccine for their own people, but they are planning on sending it to ''poorer countries''. Demons in human skin. |
simi1:ESN drove them away. ESN is now your police. |
SarkinYarki:Why should he walk away? He has a right to stand anywhere on the street. |
obiekunie2:Speak for yourself. I'm black and I don't hate other blacks. Dark skin is a BLESSING from the Almighty, and is caused by a high concentration of the chemical MELANIN, which is an angelic substance designed to shield God's children from the sun rays in the world's hottest continent. If Africans had white skin, they would have been extinct thousands of years ago, and you wouldn't be around today. White people never settled in West and Central Africa for a reason. The tropical sun is dangerous to their non MELANIN skin, and leads to countless terrible skin diseases. So every day you wake up, THANK YOUR MAKER, who in his INFINITE WISDOM, designed your body with that beautiful skin for your protection. |
hecomeshome:I just educated and corrected you. So shut up and be grateful, you airhead dropout. |
PetroDolla2020:You actually think I have time to respond to this ...vomit? I've corrected your initial GDP per capita insolence. You've had your 2 minutes of attention. Now get lost, you little maggot from Ghana. |
hecomeshome:WRONG. The plural of infrastructure IS 'infrastructures', but using it is INAPPROPRIATE. https://www.wordhippo.com/what-is/the-plural-of/infrastructure.html They ARE certain words like that in English, however weird that may seem. Grammatically correct but inappropriate in usage. When ELDERS like us are educating you youths, please, humble yourselves and learn. We've been at this stuff since when even your parents were sucking breast! [img]https://media./images/352a64818fc74fc7a0f006a367b4e124/tenor.gif[/img] |
hecomeshome:Dude, Of course you can say 'foreign aids'. But it is INAPPROPRIATE termInology. As in ''Lesotho relies on foreign aids'', as opposed to ''Lesotho relies on foreign aid''. If you say the former in a seminar or conference or even a classroom discussion, you will be DRIVEN OUT as an ILLITERATE for inappropriate terminology. Certainly you will be regarded as unschooled. Similar to when you say ''infrastructures'' instead of 'infrastructure'. The former plural is probably grammatically correct if you look it up in a dictionary, but it is INAPPROPRIATE when used in plural. As in ''This country has good infrastructures'', instead of the more appropriate ''This country has good infrastructure''. Phew!! |

donforeign:It is YOU deceiving your ignorant scumbag self. Nigeria's GDP per capita is higher than Ghana's. I bet you've no clue what GDP per capita means. School dropout. Ghana has just ONE real city, Accra. The rest are glorified villages. KumasI, their second city, is on the same level as Aba. Ghana is actually a disgrace of a country. Just 30 million people to cater for. They have oil and gas in commercial quantities, and are Africa's biggest producers of gold and cocoa, and have bauxite and manganese ore in commercial quantities. They should be the UAE of West Africa, yet their GDP per capita is lower than Nigeria's. They have only ONE serious airport, the one in Accra. The rest are chicken sheds that look like something from the 1920s. If you disagree, Google 'Kumasi' or 'Takoradi' airport. You'll be shocked. They're like school canteens. Their govt is very corrupt, but also very good at packaging themselves as angelic beings. Nigeria can at least say that she has 210 million mouths to feed, hence the poverty here and there. What is Ghana's excuse? Outside Accra, there is NOTHING. |
hecomeshome:'Foreign aid' is NEVER, EVER used with a plural. Except by illiterates!!!! |
Odidigboigbo:They are low IQ, or on drugs, most of these 'people' on Nairaland. Trying to reason with them is like trying to reason with a kettle of water. It's completely useless. |
Theoutsider:American he-goat. FDI is not the same as a loan any more than my taking 100 million dollars to build a factory in Tanzania means I am loaning 100 million dollars to the Tanzanian govt. Low IQ Trump supporter. Why don't you return to the neo-nazi site you crawled out of, you peabrain redneck from rural Alabama? |
Seniorwriter:Err...so if I take 100 million dollars to invest and build a factory in Tanzania, I will be taking ownership of existing Tanzanian infrastructure? How? Illiterate American Trump supporting air head. You must have attended 'Trump university', that scam used by the former US president to swindle American students. |
Theoutsider:Start another damn thread to discuss LOANS, you boorish little twerp. This is about FDI, which means something TOTALLY DIFFERENT. Insolent air head with foam where his brain ought to be. |
Masterito:Anyone can make the announcement. What is your issue with that? Every opportunity to criticise and point fingers, you people take. You all carry on like you're perfect, faultless beings from another planet. |
Theoutsider:So China has 5000+ projects ongoing in Africa of which less than 0.1% have been defaulted on, so....... ??What point are you even trying to make? You are not even a Nigerian or African (I can tell). Plus THIS THREAD is about FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT, not LOANS. Can your tiny brain not distinguish between the two? |
sinkhole:What a foolish, ignorant, and thoughtless statement. How can Nigerian elites '''carry the profit'' from a foreign company's investment and go and spend in Dubai? So if you go and invest your money and build a factory in Senegal, and you make profits, how will the Senegalese 'elites' take YOUR COMPANY PROFITS, AND GO AND SPEND ON THEMSELVES? I MEAN.....DAMN!!!!! Is our education system really this terrible now? |
COMPAQ:Why don't you write to the Qatari Chamber of Commerce to get specifics? Nobody owes you any details. |
Theoutsider:NO MONEY CHANGES HANDS IN INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS. THERE IS NOTHING TO ''AUDIT''. MUMU NO BRAIN!!!! THERE IS NO QATAR ''LOAN''!!!!!!!!! TUFIAAAA! |
Theoutsider:What ''foreign loan to Nigeria'' is this oaf referring to? Are you aware that most, if not all the loans taken by this govt have come in the form of infrastructure funding by the nation building the infrastructure, ie China? There's no actual money changing hands. We simply say. ''We need this railway line built.'' The Chinese company says, ''it will cost 4 billion dollars, and the Chinese govt says, ''ok we will pay the company 80% of the cost''. Nigeria pays the remaining 20%, and then repays the Chinese govt the 80% plus interest over a 20 year period or so. So which is money being stolen here? How? You know what? I give up. Believe what you like. No brain. Don't go and research how things really work. |
Jolomenas:It is ok for you people to harshly and foolishly claim that everything, including foreign investment(!) is an opportunity for govt to loot, but we cannot harshly tell you you are talking illiterate rubbish? Why can't you people take the time to go on Google and learn what foreign direct investment means before mouthing off your negativities and accusations? |
Theoutsider:Kai...Illiterate. Tell us which ''back door'' the govt will use to steal an investor's money in Nigeria. How? Are you stupid? Ok, so you think you are wiser than the Qatari govt? They have nothing to do with their 5 billion dollars but to share with Nigerian officials, correct? And leave blasted HAITI out of this, damnit. Aid is different from investment, and Nigeria is not Haiti. It's like I'm arguing with a ret.ard. And Haiti does NOT need anyone's ''aid'' of 13 billion dollars, a gross insult and pittance to that country. What Haiti needs is the 3 TRILLION dollars she is owed by France and her fellow western thieves that robbed her for two centuries, only to now give her pennies in ''aid''. That's what Haiti needs, ok? HER MONEY BACK. |
