PORT HARCOURT — GOVERNOR Rotimi Amaechi of Rivers State has linked what he termed the warm attitude of Nigerians towards corruption, to one of the plagues militating against the progress of the country.

Amaechi, weekend, in Port Harcourt, on why he dumped Peoples Democratic Party, PDP, for All Progressives Congress, APC, said that Nigerians celebrate corruption.

“We celebrate corruption. That is part of the problems of this country.”

He explained that his fight was about promoting accountability, transparency in government and good governance, adding that the quality of leadership was part of the reasons he left PDP.

He said he also left PDP when it became clear to him that the President had no development programme for Rivers State.

He said: “The South-South president is the man who feeds me. I had to fight for the work on the East-West Road. The South-South president should have voted money for the road in 2011. Instead of Niger Delta benefiting from his government, we are losing. What has the President done for Rivers State? Our sin for the delay of the international airport is that we are vocal. They don’t like us.

“They took Soku oil wells and 41 oil wells from Etche to Abia State. Should I remain in that kind of party? Virtually everything that was coming to Rivers State had been taken to Bayelsa State. World Bank confirmed to me that they have confirmed the loan for water. You deny Rivers people opportunity to have water in their homes just because they are quarreling with Amaechi,” he said.

He said it was shocking that the Federal Government could ground helicopters it gave approval for the state to acquire to intensify the anti-oil theft crusade.

“That I am still alive functioning as governor of Rivers State is by the grace of Almighty God. They can keep their federal might. I hear they say by the time they finish with Amaechi, he will know there is federal mighty,” he added.

He said the Federal Government was yet to refund money expended on federal projects in the state, adding “We did Ikwerre Road fly over, Interchange at Obikwere, Port Harcourt Owerri Road, Ada George Road. All these are federal projects we have done for which the money had not been refunded.”

On the financial status of the state, he said Rivers State was not broke but facing some financial difficulties traced to diversion.

“We are under pressure but not broke,” he said.

Moderators, its like u guys do "look face" before getting topics on front page. I see no reason why my topic shouldn't be on fp and a topic just suggested on fp will be on fp.

[quote author=adeola_drg]That's true sir, but as a matter of urgency and discomfort, antispasmodic drugs or buscopan could be given to such patient on sight. Secnidazole is usually given too, tho I don't know the modus operandi yet.

Considering the availability of pharmacists and the otherwise for doctors( I dispensed for a woman last week at 6pm and she said she had been in the hospital since 9am). Now tell me how such patient would be able to cope when undergoing a traumatic and painful illness. The pharmacist is the only health professional u don't need an appointment to see, u don't pay to see him either. The most easily accessible healthcare professional they say, plus he's also trained and knows when to refer u to a physician. I've seen pharmacists do on-sight referral, its no biggie. There's enough space in the sky for us all to soar, God's blessings.[/quote]okey.

Lagusta: that stomach pain could be due to peptic ulcer, intestinal colic, typhoid perforation, biliary colic, panceatitis, appendicitis, merckel's diverticulitis, hepatitis, splenic rupture, or any cause of peritonitis.........

In fact, the list is endless!!!

Thats why you have to see a doctor first.......

okey!

screenagerjoe: No dnt get me wrong, u can apply buh it will b based on national merit, unlike we dt win based on operational areas wich is kinda easy.

okey, dat means too many competitors and thus, calls for serious study.


First thing first! Hw do I get the past questions pls?

vicksbaba: i am sure i have a Y chromosome...... I have never been so sure of anything like this before.....

Gush! Y na? U shud av had only x na

screenagerjoe: pharmacy is cool. Buh ur state is ur drawback.

hmmm! Bt I should at least have one or two to pursue na

vicksbaba: God! I am about to fall my hand today..... anyway if I fail it. ....I'll learn. it's all part of the learning process.... .
the only thing I can think of is Isoniazid....they said it can lead to some form of peripheral Neuropathy.....


last 4months Our DMEd lecturer said Isoniazid fights with (sorry competes) pyridoxine..... because the dude is jealous that pyridoxine when reduced to a coenzyme metabolizes many substances... carbohydrates (lol... did you notice that carbohydrate is like carbon inside water?..... ), proteins.....even brain amines(scary! ) so isoniazid will sha try to inhibit the action of pyridoxine....thus no more side effect!.... I know dat Is a very lame way to answer a medical question...... ★<covers face.... just tell me I am wrong >★

wowwwwwwww! I love d mode u use to answer dis kwestion. Kudos..... I love ya(no gay if male)

caukerzee: Know the difference between a pharmacy and a chemist. Don't just got to any quack for drugs. Go see a doctor first next time.

#Indeed, I was high on tombo

screenagerjoe: cool, der r some for U, mobil- 70k, shell-75k LNG- 300k, addax and agip - 100k, MUSTE- 100k, Bendel petroleum- 100k, Total- 150k.
Odas like agbami, ptdf and MTN is for only engineering and medical students.

Av written and am currently under Agbami and Mobil, deir questions are similar cuz its organised by d same company. . . . Dragnet, just basically IQ questions. Pretty easy, buh yur state ov origin matters. Niger Delta students usually chop the bulk ov the money.

Av written LNG twice buh wasnt able to clinch the award, its kinda pretty hard (for me), with the exam in two papers. And it was written manually unlike Agbami and Mobil that were computer based. (guess am just a computer geek like dt)

So if u are a niger delta indigene and u no chop at least 1 scholarship, your fore fathers go VEX for U.

There are many scholarship outfits in school dt will require u to register wit dem, aswear dem go disturb u with sweet mouth, buh u just have to use ur head cuz dey are after your money. I didnt have to register wit any1 b4 i won the 1s i did. Buh if u feel u need assistance, u can register. GMASS is reliable cuz they have bin around for as long as i can remember.

what about me? Pharmacy and Anambra state.

OAM4J: The Kogi thread is now in Politics Section.

Cheers!

Efforts by our correspondent to get in touch with the Executive Secretary of the Commission, Prof. Bem Angwe, to whom the AGF’s memo was addressed, were not successful.

Calls to his mobile telephone did not go through.

Acting on the instruction of the President, the AGF, had in a memo dated December 23, 2013, and addressed to the Executive Secretary of the NHRC, requested the commission to investigate the allegations bordering on human rights violations contained on pages 9-10 of Obasanjo’s letter.

In the memo, Adoke had said, “I am to request you to investigate the allegations bordering on human rights violations contained on pages 9-10 of the letter dated December 2, 2013, written by former President Olusegun Obasanjo, GCFR, to President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan, GCFR, attached to the memorandum under reference.”

https://edge.punchng.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/02/Governor-Rotimi-Amaechi-and-President-Goodluck-Jonathan-360x225.jpg

http://www.punchng.com/news/watch-list-presidency-amaechi-in-fresh-war/

The Presidency and Rivers State Governor, Mr. Rotimi Amaechi, are in a fresh war of words over allegations that President Goodluck Jonathan is training snipers and keeping 1,000 people on a watch list.

While the governor stated that he was the number one person on the President’s watch list and that he had evidence to support this assertion, the Presidency said the governor was like a drunken man in a china shop who was only interested in bringing down everybody with him.

The Presidency further dared the governor to prove his allegation.

The governor, who spoke toSaturday PUNCHthrough his Chief of Staff, Government House, Chief Tony Okocha, in Port Harcourt, on Thursday, said that he was waiting for the invitation of the National Human Rights Commission.

Obasanjo had, in a letter dated December 2, 2013, accused Jonathan of putting 1,000 people on a watch list and having a killer-squad. Obasanjo had also accused the President of training snipers. The President has denied these allegations, calling on the former president to provide evidence to back his allegations.

But at the All Progressives Congress rally, held at the Liberation Stadium, Port Harcourt on Saturday, Amaechi said that he was number one on Jonathan’s watch list.

He had said: “I read the President’s letter; he said Obasanjo should prove and name those on the list. I am number one on the list. I am number one.”

Okocha toldSaturday PUNCH that the governor had enough evidence to back his statement.

He said, “The governor knows what he is talking about and this is not just a claim; it is what is happening. There are indices the governor will use to buttress his point. We will not make many comments now until the invitation from the NHRC comes.”

He stated, “One thing you should know is that Governor Amaechi does not say one thing today on an issue and say another thing tomorrow on the same issue. You are aware of the battle between us and the police. Considering all we have passed through in the hands of the police, would anybody doubt the fact that the governor is on the Presidency’s watch list?”

However, the Presidency dared Amaechi to go ahead and prove his allegation that he is one of the 1,000 persons on the alleged political watch list of the President.

Special Adviser to the President on Political Matters, Mr. Ahmed Gulak, threw the challenge in an interview with one of our correspondents on Thursday.

Gulak said it was clear to all that Amaechi had completely lost bearing and that Nigerians were aware of the governor’s antics.

According to him, no sane man would be talking like the governor is talking to the President.

He said, “Let him (Amaechi) go ahead and prove his claim. I don’t really want to talk about him because he has lost credibility. He is just like a drunken man in a china shop that wants to bring down everybody with him.

“Nigerians are aware of his antics. He has completely lost bearing and the support of the people. When a leader loses the support of his people while still in office, he will react like a mad dog. No sane man will be talking to the President the way Amaechi is doing.”

Meanwhile, NHRC has said that it will meet in January to consider the request to investigate allegations of human rights abuses raised by Obasanjo against the President in a letter to the latter.

The President had on Tuesday through the Attorney-General of the Federation and Minister of Justice, Mr. Mohammed Adoke (SAN), asked the NHRC to investigate Obasanjo’s allegations.

Saturday PUNCH learnt that the Governing Board of the commission chaired by Prof. Chidi Odinkalu had yet to see the memo sent to it by the Attorney-General of the Federation.

A source said, “The commission has not taken any decision because the board has yet to meet to evaluate the concerns raised in the memo. This is holiday period; the board can only see the memo in January”.

Saturday PUNCH further learnt that the NHRC would decide the procedure to be adopted in investigating the allegations contained in the letter written by Obasanjo.

A source in the commission disclosed this to one of our correspondents on Thursday. The source did not disclose when the council would meet over the matter, but it is expected that the meeting will take place after the festive season.

The source, who did not wish to be named, explained that the Governing Council would decide whether it would invite Obasanjo to a meeting or adopt a public hearing procedure.

The Commission’s Director of Public Affairs and Communication, Mohammed Ladan, told our correspondent on the telephone that he was on leave, and as a result, was not in a position to confirm the procedure to be adopted in the planned investigation.

“I don’t know the pattern it will take, I am actually on leave right now,” he said in response to our correspondent’s enquiries.

[quote author=adeola_drg]At the sight of the faculty exams timetable, the reality of leaving home to start burning the midnight candles after 6 months of being shot out of the academic environment suddenly dawned on me.
I couldn’t believe my eyes as I stood speechless and helpless staring at the notice board to catch a better view of the ill-timed timetable. I wished I had someone to tell me it was a dream or better still that the exams timetable was for the post graduate students. But found none to rid my mind of the unwanted reality- a reality that is now spreading its tentacles to pitch a permanent tent in my head. The departmental offices were locked up; the secretaries had gone on Christmas holiday. Except for the Dean’s and faculty officer’s doors that were flung open to enable students complete their regularization exercise. I couldn’t reach the timetable officer to ask questions or lodge complaints.
‘PCH 401 and 301 on January 2nd? Why would the department fix exams for such a time as a day after the New Year? A time when many students including my humble self are lost in the deep waters of merriment’ I thought to myself. ‘the timetable officer is not sensitive to the plight of the students. Abi na we send them make them go on strike?’ I thought further as I walked down the dusty stairs of the faculty building.
I was half way down the stairs when I heard what appeared like the sound of angry mob. The sound came so hard that I contemplated running upstairs to F.O’s office take refuge. As I stood half way dazed both by the trauma of the “untimely timetable” and the deafening echoes of the sound of the unseen angry mob, I heard yet another sound. This time a deep masculine voice, it was the voice of a 300level student who had led the aggrieved students in a protest. he left them some meters behind. They had come to complete their regularization exercise.
‘Mr President, is it true that the exams timetable is out, and that we have a paper on the 2nd of January?’ he thundered charging at me like a castrated dog. He was sweating profusely, his eyes were as red as a burning coal; he was panting like an athlete who just completed a marathon race. I could see the pains in their eyes. I could feel the anger in their voice. Their countenance was coated with so much rage and disappointment. I was quiet for some time mapping out strategies in my head to arrest the mounting chaos.
“can we have some quiet?” I thundered back. ‘I want to crave your indulgence to exercise some patience. We are professionals and men of high repute and as highly esteemed professionals, we must not engage in acts capable of soiling the hard earned name of the pharmacy profession’, I said, to calm their nerves. “friends, it is against our professional ethics to protest’ I added. ‘I have seen the timetable, I have identified the problem and can assure you that something will be done to correct it as soon as possible’ I added so soothingly.
As I was rounding up my address, the foundation Dean, Prof. Mrs Femi-Oyewo drove in to the faculty. On seeing her, everyone including the protest leader fled, some leaving their course forms and other items behind.
‘Who were those unprofessional animals that were disturbing the peace of the faculty?’ mama roared. I had never seen her in such angry mood before. Fear gripped me.
I was about to mutter something out when she said, ‘get me their names’. Ok ma. I reached out for my bag, brought out a pen and a sheet of paper. I penned down their names according to the level of arrogance displayed. Starting with the leader, I was on number four when my friend woke me up with the shout of merry Christmas. Oh! It was a dream……..hahahaha. sorry I took your time. No timetable for anywhere oooooooo. Merry Christmas and happy new year in advance... Written by my PANS president.. Enjoy.[/quote]gush! So captivating and seemingly truth and real. The writer is too good literally_ he shud av gone 4 literature.

Gush, my spirit was awoken like a baby poured a bucket of water while asleep. Was busy thinking it should be a mere write up while reading and trying to circle an instrument of fallacy but, the writer was just too personifying and real!
