Politics › Re: If Herdsmen Face Se by Rutherford2019(op): 5:02am On Jan 07, 2024
The truth is that only the Igbos know how to fight herdsmen and by extension the north
As of this time last year there was IDP camps in Eha-Amufu Enugu State..why?
When herdsmen struck the Enugu State government invited the Nigerian army from 82 division and they came..what happened and what the army did was narrated in my previous tread. But the truth is that there won't have been IDP camp if not because of Nigerian army
Fast forward to the topic...to fight herdsmen you have to fight everything and everywhere
If herdsmen strike in Enugu don't spare any herdsmen you see in imo,Anambra or anywhere in the east...they're same
What you may not know about herdsmen is that they all have odeshi and they are being protected by Nigerian government. So to fight them you should never associate your security with anything related to government whether State or federal
ESN has odeshi that matches and overpowers herdsmen
South east don't depend on forest guards or Ebubeagu (equivalent of Amorekun) to fight herdsmen...we are in autopilot
For SW to fight insecurity their youth must rise up and not associate it with the government
Your enemy is at the door and the worst is coming
Politics › Nigerians Are Just 'the Game Under Tinubu ' by Rutherford2019(op): 10:42pm On Jan 06, 2024
Just Game

For Buhari's eight ruinous years, his voice was not heard as citizens were murdered across the land.

When the Southwest rallied and set up a security outfit to counter the invaders, the only state in the region that backed out of that effort was the one in his pocket.

He said he is pleased with Buhari and all he has done, and promised to continue in his footsteps.

It is utter foolishness for anyone to think the country will be safer with him.

Everything is politics to him, and money.

If your life will advance his political fortune, you are game.

You are just game.

Politics › Can Tinubu Government Fight Insecurity? Dey Play by Rutherford2019(op): 2:49am On Jan 06, 2024
Upon all the killings by fulani herdsmen throughout buhari government Tinubu has never condemned it..infact even when it happened in Yoruba land
He's even attributed the famous saying "where's the cow"
The truth of the matter is that Tinubu is one of them and that's why they made sure that they put him there..
To fight insecurity someone must emerge as president of Nigeria who must not come from Elrufai, Buhari, Sultan or Shettima other Nigeria will be a graveyard in 10yrs time.
Nigeria army and police need to be sieve to remove terrorists among them
Politics › Re: Pressure On Peter Obi To Run As Vice To Atiku In 2027 - NationalDaily by Rutherford2019: 9:39pm On Jan 05, 2024
[quote author=Freshtruth post=127798286]That d only alternative trust me. It will be foolish for obi to decline this offer. He should remember if not for Atiku that personally pick him 2019 Nigerians would not had notice his intellectual skills. This VP debate 2019 is what shot obi to limelight thanks to Atiku


BTW
The north has done that 8 years with Buhari And Atiku will be 81 by 2027 his ambition shows he just want to answer the title Mr president and that not what Nigerians need at d moment. So we the Obidents want Atiku to support obi to finish south turn he have d honour to nominate a VP for Obi. With that singular Heart he has written his name in Gold . with that he will be remember for[/quote

You are ignorant
70% of PDP votes in 2019 is from Obi and Atiku didn't realize that until after 2023..infact Atiku thought that 2023 is a walkover for him..

Politics › Middle Belt: Are We Crying More Than The Bereaved? by Rutherford2019(op): 1:17am On Dec 28, 2023
In December 2022, Fulani herdsmen displaced my community. The Nigerian army was called upon and they came and mounted several checkpoints.
If you see the checkpoints and the presence of the army fierce looking soldiers you will conclude that my community is the most secure place to live at the time..
One fateful afternoon after church service, the soldiers were arresting people they see outside, they asked people to stay indoors. People stayed indoors, relaxed and were happy that soldiers have returned normalcy to the community.
About 2 hours later,tragedy struck. Fulani herdsmen invaded my community from every angle..guess what? Soldiers were nowhere to be found. Scores were killed and several displaced
NB..the soldiers that came displaced the community vigilantes
After the killing, herdsmen occupied some parts of the community..
One man from the community happened to get opportunity to interact with one soldier and he told the man 'this is not what the soldiers or police will do for you people. At that point the
community have to contact ESN and they came from Bush and fought the herdsmen and push them back to benue state.
They didn't stop there, they went and ambush the soldiers
After that almost every guy in the community went and do odeshi and are fully prepared
The question is, what are the middle belt youths doing? Waiting for soldiers to protect you? Were they not aware how buhari recruited boko haram members into the Nigeria army?
Have you asked yourself, why is it that the presence of Nigerian soldiers breeds insecurity to a place?
According to Theophilus Danjuma 'if you fold your hand you will die one by one
Middle Belt should accept the invitation of Simon Ekpa and join ESN before it's too late
Youths from Middle Belt should have rallied around Obadiah Mailafa as we did to Kanu
Middle Belt youths should desist from listening to their leaders..in the east we don't listen to anyone..we are in autopilot
I have told my people that it's better to be under IPOB/ESN than HERDSMEN..How many people died in the east this Christmas?

Should we go back to subsidy regime, spending our income and borrowing to fund what we can't afford
From the narrative the company has already running down even before subsidy removal..
The ordinary citizens (mainly their Nigerian employees) contributed as much as the government..stealing,inflated contracts and importation

FINAL EXIT OF P&G: A Vision, My Experience

I finished my Youth Service in Feb. 2005. I was given a letter of recommendation from where I served in Jos (Vitafoam Nig. Plc). I was scheduled for an interview at their Head Office in Oba Akran, Lagos. I was to resume in their Kano Branch as Maintenance Engineer but religious crisis happened around that time. They had to shut down the Site to forestall collateral damages. Hence, I had to officially be flung to the ocean of "labour market". My first bite of "Nigeria Happened to You".

Fast forward to 2007. I had switched to full computer engineering. I cloned Computer systems for people and repaired same in the popular Computer Village in Ikeja, Lagos. I just dey hustle anyhow to make ends meet. I always trekked from Opebi, where I was staying with the Owolabi's (May God bless that family for me) to Egbon Ojo's Office in Computer Village where I normally perch with my flash drive tied to my neck as symbol of a computer guy. It's in this state Sister Opeyemi Ajayi sent me a link to text my details to in Ibadan. I did and from that text message, my journey of 11years commenced.

I sincerely didn't know how big P&G was. I already passed UAC Management Trainee Test, scheduled for their Medical when P&G interviews were going on. A classmate I met at UAC in Lagos complained about their work culture, which was not too palatable. I shared my predicament with Pastor Kehinde Owolabi who told me how big the Company was in UK where he stayed for years. How Nigerians even lobbied and prayed to be their adhoc staff. This made me settle for P&G as my First Career Love. I resumed Sept. 13, 2007.

P&G would first host you for a month in Kakanfo Hotel in Ibadan if you didn't have anyone to stay with in Ibadan. All bills on them. The Company had bus that conveyed you to and fro the designated Bus Stop. You're trained about the culture of the Company for One Month. Free healthcare in the best hospitals in Ibadan and Lagos. Quality food at the canteen. My first salary was huge then because of all the prorated allowances. For the first time, I was treated with dignity. Naturally, the company gave me a sense of ownership till tomorrow.

Chief Olusegun Obasanjo might have his negatives but Ebora Owu knows Economics. He blocked border against products being manufactured in Nigeria. Businesses were booming. We work round the clock to meet up with orders from distributors. We only shut down on 24th December and startup night of 25th. Same thing for New Year Anniversary. We shut down on the 31st, start up 1st January Night. Full operation by 2nd. We couldn't cope with the demands. P&G had to be forced to invest more in Nigeria.

I first travelled out of Nigeria courtesy of my First Love, P&G. I, with four others were sent on an automation training with Rockwell Automation in UK. Our Nigerian coursemates for that One Month were people from Total, Mobil, etc. No manufacturing company dared such investment but the almighty P&G. You're escorted even to Visa Office by Mobile Police entourage. You're taken to and fro the airport with same entourage. Because they see you as asset that nothing should happen to. Imagine giving "ordinary technician" such honour. That's my P&G for you.

"AGBARA, THE FUTURE."

Because of the market demands, P&G decided to expand their investments in Nigeria. Paper section of the company was relocated to Agbara. Over $300Million was invested there with state of the art facility built by Julius Berger Nig. Ltd. We had Gym facilities. We had massagers. We had table tennis. We had football pitch. We generated our own power with a massive Gas Generator. Your badge is the access to doors, offices, canteen, gym, everywhere. These were the stuffs you only saw in American movies like 24.

P&G prioritizes trainings. Some of my guys like Betiku Olubunmi Jude , Gbadamosi Adekunle , etc were on training for the new production lines in Cairo for a complete calendar year. If you're married, you could go with your family, even some that gave birth there like Samson Oloyede Johnson went with Malle that did omogwuo in Cairo. My friend even named his child after the Cairo Doctor that meant a lot to their family. That's how important you are to that Company. They value you. How would you not love such company? The Femcare guys like Stanley Emite , Aderanti Yomi , Adewale Ajibade ,etc, went to Germany for theirs. That's how big P&G was.

"Agbara, the Future" became the slogan. That was the plan before Nigeria happened to my beloved P&G. The startups for the new lines started getting extended due to our Nigerianness. Custom's policy summersaults started affecting the logistics. Border flung opened. Cheaper products littered the market courtesy of another Govt policies. 3 brand new babycare lines were brought for initial installations but only 2 could be installed. Cheaper products had taken over the market before we produced our first diaper. The "future" was punctured from the world "go".

We would produce but no one to buy. Sometimes you wanted to produce, Shell might tell you, they couldn't supply gas to power you generator. You had to switch to expensive diesel to power the other diesel generators to produce to meet up with the little demands. To transport the finished products became a challenge too. The roads were horrible. Containers doing gymnastics by summersaulting anyhow on those gully-holes (because those were not potholes). I even learnt the companies around the axis like GSK, UNILEVER, P&G, to mention but few approached the State Govt and proposed to fix the road with a possible tax waivers to no avail. They told them to bring the money while their works ministry help them fix it. The companies backed out because of the integrity of the govt. Hence, the road became unpassable over time.

I will be hypocritical if I failed to mention few of the damages done inhouse. Before we even left Ibadan, stories of how pallets of products were disappearing in Alomaja wearhouse became regular news. To the point that a whole truckload of products was rumoured missing... T'ori Olorun! Guys became overnight millionaires at the expense of the company. Contracts were inflated anyhow. One that I was particularly privy of: Our chiller had issues. I and Oluwatomisin Adeoluwa Adetola narrowed it down to a defective Compressor. We sourced for a supplier online that promised to bring it the next morning. Price was #600k with installations. We presented it to the TSG Manager then. He claimed it won't fly since the guy was not on the list of suppliers. Lo and behold, the guy given it to presented #2.4m. He couldn't even fix the electrical connections, I was the one compelled to fix it for him. How that made sense to anyone I don't know.

Agbara ceased to be the future courtesy of both external and internal self-destructive birthed out of greed and untamed avarice. The investors borrowed us $300m at the exchange rate of less than #200/$. In Buhari's first 6months, it had jumped to #500. He fell ill and Prof. Osinbajo was able to stabilize it at #350/$. P&G had no alternative than to do all it could to stay afloat business-wise. Gradual retrenchment was introduced. Flow-to-work became the mantra. Before the next OGSM in 2018, it was decided Agbara plant should shut down! Hundreds of professionals retrenched. I remember the words of Akinola Jibola while we were powering down Babycare Line 1: "We are shutting down what should put foods on the tables of the generations to come." It daily rings in my ears.

I hoped against hope P&G would come back but it won't. I first heard about it from a top echelon before it became 'kariile' news. You prayed such news shouldn't be true. No one finds it easy to share the demise of his loved ones. Adieu my 1st Career Love. You actually "Improved and touched our lives". You meant well but we honestly don't deserve you. We messed you up. If you're only being abused by outsiders, you could have stayed but abuse by your loved ones was the last straw that broke the camel's back. All your "offsprings" like Ariel, Pampers, Always, Duracell, Oral B, etc would always have my endorsement anyday, anytime. Love you P&G.

He should raise over 1 million state actors and arm them to the tooth and all these law makers will relocate from River state
Even Wike cannot dare come to the state until 8yrs after

You can't make this shi.t up.
You simply follow hearsay
All the time Obi decamped he was begged and under pressure
Obi was in APGA when president Yaradua saw his good work and begged him to join PDP but he refused because he promised Ojukwu that he would be in APGA as governor and also handover to an APGA successor..
After his tenure,Jonathan lured him to PDP..
In 2019,one of the condition OBJ gave to support Atiku was that he must make Obi his running mate..
In 2023,Obi decamped to LP because he saw that they're not going to be free and fare

Some type 2 are insulin dependent probably because their pancreas does not produce enough insulin so it becomes anomaly to tag type 1 insulin dependent knowing full well that some DM2 are dependent on insulin as well

The original name of type1 DM is insulin dependent DM..in chronic pancreatitis in which the pancreas cannot produce insulin it becomes type 1 DM secondary to pancreatic damage
NB Any time that the pancreas cannot produce insulin it is type 1 irrespective of what happens to the pancreas or whether the person is pregnant or not
In type 2 the pancreatic function is either preserved or is minimal.
NB insulin dependent and non insulin dependent are no longer used to describe types of diabetes mellitus because some people with type 2 are now insulin dependent
Also adult onset and Juvenile DM are outdated names of type 2 and type 1 because both can occur at any time in life
