The fact that you are from a tribe that lacks beautiful cultural and traditional institution like this doesn't mean you should hate on others who have. Celebrate with the ife people and stop hating.

How did you know that his tribe lacks it? he said Africa not a tribe. While opposing someone's view, you don't need to show your deep tribalism. While I ain't supporting the guy, he is still not totally wrong.

LadyFiona:
Hmmmm, you've not seen anything.

I have been on night duty with two ward maids who doubles as my assistants, with three patients in active phase of labour.
I have delivered babies with Nokia torchlight strapped on my hairnet, sutured perineal tears with kerosene lanterns.

No wonder my professional colleagues are writing NCLEX-RN, GFNS, TOEFL and other exams with acronyms I can't remember just to get at of this hellhole.

@topic, nurses are always at the receiving end because they are at the forefront of health service delivery.

I can relate to this. The first time I heard that from my sister, I couldn't believe my ears.

My brother caught this baby antelope in his farm yesterday. I believe he won't be able to take care of the animal properly. Please if you have any idea of how we can take care of it kindly share. I was looking at taking it to the closest zoo and donating it to them but my brother sees it as meat and won't let it go unless compensated. If you can compensate him and take care of the baby antelope please indicate too. I would hate to see this antelope die.

I'll like to buy it. 07036199267

On a serious Note most tym I need 100% concentration to hear wat my President is Saying, his English is Fulani English

Nothing bad with accent, everybody's got accent; Liverpool natives' is way different from that of Oxford natives, even in the UK. He was educated way back then and raised with it, he's already old so no need of buying phonetics books. You'd have to listen well to grab Obama's or Carson's too.

This is nonsense reporting! X for NW Y for SE

Don't quote me again please, if you are biased.

Strive Masiyiwa, one of the top African billionaires, with interests primarily in the telecoms sector shared this stories on his facebook page. He writes regularly on topics relating to entrepreneurship and how youths can make Africa great. In his latest series about what he's seen about corruption investing around the world, he chronicled his experience in Nigeria. It's an interesting and enlightening read:

It’s time to play by a different (ethical) set of rules (Part 7) Nigeria 1
___Sometimes the price can be very high in the fight against corruption.
I had the privilege of making Nigeria’s first GSM phone call back in 2001 when I called the regulator to say, “We’re live!” Who would’ve believed then that Nigeria today would have more than 167 million mobile phones?!
It all started out as a very exciting new chapter for enterprise in Africa. Shortly after President Obasanjo was elected, the new government announced an incredibly transparent international auction process for three national mobile phone licenses.
To participate in the bid, you not only had to raise money, but there had to be a member of the bidding consortium who was an experienced GSM operator. Econet Wireless met the requirements because of its experience in Zimbabwe and Botswana. Our Nigerian partners, which included state governments, local banks and high net worth individuals, were financial investors. The largest shareholder had only 10%. That was the written agreement.
I managed to assemble a consortium of 22 investors to put up the money needed to bid. Our shareholders were all Nigerian, mostly institutional investors including leading banks and two state governments, Lagos State and Delta State. The license cost us $285m and was the most expensive license ever issued in Africa at the time. This was 2001.
We considered the investment not only about putting together a network, but also about building a nation. We knew it had the potential to transform Nigeria’s entire business and social architecture.
Most of our investors had between 1-10% shareholding. Econet Wireless Nigeria had only 5% of the shares, but that was fine because it was 5% ownership of a very big pie.
As the "technical partner and operator," Econet was the company with the expertise to build and operate such a business. Our financial investors recognised this, and also allowed us to receive 3% of the turnover as our fees. This was standard practice in the industry.
We were one of the winning bidders and they gave us just six months to set up business and get our network operating. We were under a lot of pressure but our network was live two days before the others! Customers were pouring in. We were number one in the market with an estimated 57% market share.
___Then came the fateful day when I was told that our company must pay a total of $9m in bribes to senior politicians (in state government) who had facilitated the raising of the money to pay for the license.
I refused to authorise the illegal payments. Meeting after meeting was held to try to get me to agree, but I would not. The money would not be paid as long as Econet was the operator and I had signing authority.
James Ibori, the Governor of Delta State, was demanding $4,5m be paid to him in his personal capacity. He was one of the most powerful men in the country and had a reputation for violence. When he heard that I was refusing to approve payment he issued an ultimatum:
___"Pay or I will chase you and your people out of the country."
I refused.
The shareholders met and voted Econet Wireless Nigeria out of management. They cancelled our management contract. James Ibori and his colleagues personally attended the meeting to remove us. After the meeting one of them (a prominent local businessman even today) came up to me and said: "Unfortunately for you, God does not have a vote."
I had to withdraw all my staff and their families: 200 people in all. We left Nigeria.
Most of our people had to be retrenched. The loss of the contract almost drove us to bankruptcy as a group.
They invited a big international operator to replace us as technical partner and operator. They changed the name of the company from Econet to V-Mobile.
Within days of their arrival, the managers of the new operator signed off the payments demanded as bribes.
Then what happened?
A few noble Nigerians had both the integrity and courage to carefully collect all the documentation on the movement of the money, and pass it all on to me.
___There’s a saying worth remembering in uncovering the trail of destruction that is corruption: “Follow the money”…
I bided my time... then I wrote a letter to the United States Department of Justice!
It was 2003.
To be continued…

Less I forgot am FTC...#thankGoditsmybirthday

After over 6 hours of your post, all you could gather is just 5likes, hahahahaha, I no fit laff. U should ave written something worthy of 'common sense revolution'. And hey, it's not "less I 4get..." but lest*
¤I'm not perfect in grammar too tho, so take this non-personal¤

Omololu007:
if ambode doesn't perform well,I won't vote for him in 2019,is so simple

Now that's the spirit, trust in the electoral system, starting ground for a solid democracy, panacea for the Nigeria of our dream.

But bro, we can't also be doing trial and error everytime sha

cold:
Eldee said what it will take to solve our problems on this side of the divide is common sense. This is not rocket science or anything spiritual. It just takes dedicated leadership to get things right. Alas,that is the one thing that is lacking around these parts.

You got it wrong too, or say partly. It is common sense for both the leaders and followers, especially the most pained, the over 90% 'masses'

The reason most youths in their early 20s think they're too young here is because of their stature. An average Nigerian of age 21 mostly have mature looks only. 18yr american kid is comparable in size to 24/25yrs old Nigerian. That's why you folks will be shouting 'na lie! Na lie' to foreign footballers age, esp their U-17

mentorandfriend:
If someone you admire is seperated from you by a great distance, I believe that books are a great way of getting into the mind of who you would love to be mentored by (if such a person is a published author).

However, mentorship by correspondence is not what I have discussed. There is room for that quite alright, but it has no comparison whatsoever to physical mentorship.

Oh! I think I got some clues...

If, for example, Manny Pacquaio is the kind of mentor I'd like to have, and I'm just here in Nigeria, how do I get him unto a personal level

OJUELEGBA1:
pple like you shldnt be taken serious with..honestly..if d product develops fault which isnt a personal damage all u need to do is to visit or contact der office and drop it..they will exchange it for u.. der is need for mistake and oder issues..rem na pple dey do dis tabs..no be GOD..instead of comin here talkin out of point..

President of the Social Media

Is he the one posting the pictures himself? Or those posting the pictures online are not making a living from it?
If he should bar men of the press now, u won't stop shout autocrazy and all kind of common-sense-lacking words around. I used to tell one of my friends this: "if anytime you have to use your head, use your brain first..."

Nothing really special, just a rare case of d numerous birth defects. Some type of '-plasty' can save this?

natas22:
Its simple the EU doesn't like buhari's visit to USA so they are in a way trying to show there anger.

If they ban our goods then China, India and other countries are opened for business

www.

It's obvious you did not read the article. They've been warning us since 2013. And again, it's also for the safety of their people, and in a way, for us too.

Again the ban is till June 2016, so it's not forever.

Jideams:


Thanks delighted at your comments. Ok I will start the Thread on the First of August. Regarding account, please ignore those banks, they are living in the past and do not understand trading has moved on. Not sure what it takes to Open an account in Nigerian on the US platform, but I will need someone to try it. It cost nothing to Open it and you could have as little as possible on the account.

Now I need to work out what Topic to cover and when. I will highlight the topics and when it will be thought and you can follow at your own time. Possible to do some video and add them to the thread, not sure if Nairaland supports Video but I will do my best.

God bless you sir. You'd probably have to upload it to youtube and give the link here. Patiently awaiting August. I'd add it to my to-do list ASAP

Jideams:
Ok Thats good, you should have access to the platform now whilst they process your application for real money trade.

I will review and post my analysis of the general market condition in relation to the stocks " AMBA" and " GPRO" for now.

Please let's start the Stock market 101 thread ASAP. I really need it. Been looking around for something like that but I've only got titbits of info. I assure you the amount of followers you'd see will amaze you.

My sister also tried looking for a Stockbroker here in Nigeria, she found Stanbic IBTC and was told she'd need abt ₦1m to 'open an account'. She dropped out of it and it got me too, an undergrad, discouraged.

barcanista:
The DSS is part of the Civil Service like other Security Agencies. No member of the service are supposed to be linked with any political party. The loyalty of the DSS boss is to the Nation first because he has constitutional mandate. The position of DSS is not like the NSA or Ministers. It is a shame that Buhari is bent on soiling the reputation of the service in the name of partisanship.

The one already soiled? By the like of Maryln and her bosses then?

coolestrogue:
And PMB wants to grant them amnesty.....
no president is as foolish as PMB in the history of this country

If you are the President of Nigeria right now, and for the next 100 days, what will you do differently? Any idea? Ehn? Ehn??

The fight will be taken more seriously and friendly connections repaired/strenghtened. Until you wake up to this realisation, you'll never appreciate his restlessness. Even though Baba already said your noises will keep him on his toes.

Editor1:
Mtchewww. This man should be ashamed.


Loosing out on speakership, yet celebrating House Leader.

Does that look like a thanksgiving service to you? Or because he failed he should commit suicide? Or because he failed, the lessons and experience of lobbying and vying has been all cast away? Young man, let's get to serious work, when elections come now, we'll start shouting 'and youths are the leaders of tomorrow?'. All those ones you see up there did not spend their youth wailing like a wailer

Mogidi:
Thank God there's no discrimination in Christianity, the God of women is the God of men. Women should be allowed to pray where they want.

Comments on sensitive issues should not always be childish and cautious-free in a forum already polarised as this.
Think of women raising up their backside up and men behind them.

Before u pass ur reply....I'm trying to be like Christ too.
