We are not serious as a nation.
Some of these crimes should be treated as terrorism and crimes against humanity.
In 2009 , my family friend, a pharmacy student and his group were given an assignment/project to authenticate the active components of different samples of paracetamol.
Can you imagine that of all the 12 samples given, only two passed the requirements to be deemed original. For one sample, you will need to use 12 tablets or so for the common two tablets dosage. You can't even use that cuz of other components in the drugs

DomPerignon:
As per this case, we can see that the child suffered from cerebral malaria which usually occurs due to badly treated malaria .

The parents even attested that the child had convulsions after being administered off the counter malaria drugs at home .

We should not ignore the high rates of fake drugs in circulation.

A friend of mine spent huge amounts of money treating his toddler in a foreign owned hospital in Lagos for this same cerebral malaria.

Malaria drugs are a miracle drug that have saved millions and treatment for malaria is free in Federal and some state hospitals .

The root cause here is the proliferation of fake drugs .

A medical doctor told me that as much as 80% of the malaria drugs being freely sold in chemists and pharmacies are fake.

The case of antibiotics is even worse and I am even surprised we are not developing super antibiotic strains of infections in Nigeria

As much as the entire healthcare system needs to be overhauled and a universal health insurance policy enacted, as long as there are merchants of death out there, it will be an effort in futility.


Let me not talk about spike in renal disease attributed to consumption of fake drugs and beverages

When Customs and immigration noor dey do anything apart from collecting bribes and running shady deals.
We never do anything to Chinese people all over the country polluting the whole country with dangerous chemicals, now drug barons form México don enter another matter

They used to be very nice people until around year 2009. The hostility became noticeably profound.
I used to organise road trip excursions for university students back then.
When they stared showing other colours , I stopped altogether. They got unaccommodating, greedy and they cheat also at tourist markets.

LabStores:
Apart from particular beef with SA, Ghana's hospitality is generally POOR. I have had few bad experiences. This people don't even give water for free, no matter how much they charge you for a hotel room.
Food is generally boring and their services and attitudes is generally nonchalant and sluggish.

He didn't even give useful info, just fell and fell. Did the fall come with fainting?
If that happened, na serious BP issue.
Apart from that, hospitals dey every 5 streets these days, go to any. Nairaland noor be hospital.


Pun intended, your papa na baddolee oooo. The dude knack well into his old age considering having you at that age 😂 😆

Negroid001:
Just be careful.
When i was 15 a friends dad fell down into mud in my street. I backed him home. 2 days later he slept and didn't wake up. He was well into his 80s

Corona period. A fellow landlord's wife slipped and fell in my street. I picked her up and assisted her home. That weekend she slept and didn't wake up too. She's in her 80s too.

Not saying anything would happen to your mum. But get proper treatment first. Adults falling down often the first sign something bad is about to happen.

Arsenal, na Una time ooo.
Congratulations.
I couldn't believe my eyes at a bar yesterday seeing 2 men crying. One of them, a mopol that I use to banter with na inn surprise me pass.
Anyways, if na Chelsea too nobody go hear word.
Until next season.
Good luck in champions League

In my own case, she came visiting and after a few hours, my mum of blessed memory sent for me for an errand. I told her and left, came back after 1 hour. Naso this one begin dey shout say which kind nonsense be dat; that I left her to go do whatever for over 1 hour. I asked her if she realised who sent for me and she replied "and so".
Second one is that down there was oversized for my John Thomas. Na soso meshepeshe you go dey hear and I be guy planning to travel then. I just knew she was going to be a community property. I was proven right sha. She got married and left her marriage to her Mama house after 3 months.
But the babe na dragnet for money sha. While with her, I dey see money anyhow but couldn't jeopardize my future peace for that

tanigororo:
She was rude to her mum in my presence, if she can be rude to her own mother, beating my mum Na child play.

Amin ooooo.

Stephen0mozzy:
May God continue to bless us with wealth so that those secret weapon will prosper in our belly 😂

Chai chai ! Peppered Kulikuli, ram/goat suya and Kilichi, those are secret weapons formed against me

Stephen0mozzy:
Oga, use your two hands cover your phone mouth. There are some meals you just love, because they actually make your tatstebuds water.

If I get on the Forbes list today, some things I'll still love are:
1. Hausa groundnut
2. Kulikuli
3. Zobo drink

Nor allow fake classism make you go dey spend money for foods you don't really enjoy because you wan feel wealthy.

Maybe he's been waiting for a child for so many years and God blessed him with two. Nigerians can put their differences aside to celebrate that kind of thing

Trump don turn full scale imperialist. The American Emperor himself. Be like say this guy fit just create 3rd term agenda

Egypt is the new real estate goldmine. All of them are carrying truckloads of dollars there now for prime real estate, especially the northern politicians.
Egypt is building a new map multi-billion smart city, na there all of dem dey go to get a piece of the cake

HABA , dem sef try nah.
You they've got this arms and ammunition deals with USA for some time.
The US sef dey enjoy the money, na why Trump noor talk anything about the man MBS ordered killed and dismembered in their Turkey consulate

dermmy:
Which military might Saudi Arabia get?

Na Ogun go keeee you.
What's with this ill-bred children and insults.
Wetin concern me and and holding brief for Iran.
Can't we engage meaningfully without all these BS.
I really wish I fit see you in person.
As a matter of fact, I don't like Iran and theirs ways but does that stop me from commenting truthfully.
Na goat na inn you be

INJESUSNAME:
You mean Iran can defend itself against all these countries if they decide to fight? Even a mentally unstable person won't think like that. Nobody is fighting the Iranian people but their evil leaders, if not you won't be here hyping Iran as you people did to hamas, houtis and Hezbollah. Trump is just been gentle with Iranian leadership, that is what is giving u opportunity to say what sweets you.

That was for image laundering ooo.
They do it all the time. Dem go just appoint one government critic for optics.
They did with Tai Solar in, Reuben Abati, Femi Adeshina and the likes

Angelfrost:
Well, all is not lost for Desmond...!

If he "repents", he can still get one small appointment in Aso Rock next year.

Reno wey dem give Ambassador abused the hell out of Mr. President.

That is if they did not pull too much wahala during and after the electioneering process

edogu:
All those people that contested on the platform of APC but failed to be reelected will be compensated one way or the other.

This 3 countries don tire to dey collect wotowoto.
In this war, na Saudi suprise me pass cuz I thought the youthful age of MBS would have pushed him into testing their military might against Iran considering US backing.
The sub plot is that they are at loggerheads with their brother nation(UAE) too as theyr are supporting different factions in the Sudan and Libya wars

But for a primary election, I can stake my life that this figure is impossible.
How many people in the senatorial district are fully registered APC members.

aieromon:
Yes Sir.

https://www.vanguardngr.com/2023/03/dafinone-defeats-amori-2-others-to-emerge-delta-central-senator-elect/

Dey play my fans.
For real when you counting on queues jump from 54 to 100, 101, 200, 300 wtc

Goodadvice01:
But are those figures for real at all?

E fit be say the primary na hom and away format cuz I noor dey understand this pattern.
Then I fit bet say 86 percent of those on the lines not be valid party members.
Most of these primaries being conducted na caricature. Na the powers that be and money dey talk

Nawa ooo. You win women you lose some. This guy gained more visibility and engagement numbers but probably lost out on wedding bookings. Guys go dey reason say make I invite you finish dey chyke my wife after a few months. Mbanu!

Some cultures don't do 6 feet deep stuff. Even in Naija, for some Northern zones, the grave is only dug slightly deeper than this one

GOFRONT:
This is a sign that something fishy is going ON.......

Btw, why the grave come shallow like this?

Jesus Christ!
Are you kidding me 😯 😯 😭

spiceadole:
200/120 is even like the "norm".
I have seen patients with far higher numbers yet choose to go home.
Some will even tell you that the headache or whatever symptoms they are experiencing is as a result of typhoid and malaria , and not high BP.. and still walk away.

The job of the doctor is to document properly.
Practising medicine in Nigeria where ignorance lives is not it at all

I can bet that the total registered voters in those 3 local governments noor go reach 100k and APC candidate alone dey win primary election with over 29k votes.
All is well

When we are seeing Primary election numbers in some federal constituencies reaching around 30,000, what figures will they now get for the main election.
If you really understand Naija, you are not of this world

Nigeria to the world. Aliko on this one. What Nigerian government cannot do, this gou is doing home and abroad

But that post about community elders chopping his money nko! The post must be fake then.
Cuz I believe he can't accuse the community elders of taking his money and only garnering 14 votes , then turn around to say he didn't participate

Wike on the beat. All these ones don collect from FCT purse begin legwork

Although na fiction, you can't have 200/120 and say you wan go home. The doctor go likely make you sign form say na your decision. Apart from that, agree to the admission firstly, then decide after a few days.
May we not be in a position where we can't afford few days of payment for healthcare

The money these politicians keep saying they doled out, me noor dey understand oooo.
Make we do a poll of people that got this conditional cash transfer and others on Nairaland first.
8.3 million households kwah! Not even 8.3 million individuals.
Diaaris God ooooo

You are right ooo.
Some powerful people dey that zone encompassing both old and new money. Kosofe na the new Lagos . I do visit there often and marvel at the kind of money flying around in this Lagos. You go see 6,7 and 8 storey buildings springing up even all over Alapere side

Lithiumite:
Oghara has issues with many of the king makers and deciders in that lga.....the likes of ogunlewe,kunle soname of bet9ja,the LCDA chairman,agboyi-ketu and ikosi etc.....the peperito structure holds kosofe and they have the street credibility to tackle any opposition.....his late father was the sen bayo osinowo, a man that swept gbenga ashafa aside like it was nothing......

You were right about Kosofe. The Peperito clan won there. I thought Hon Kafilat was very strong

Lithiumite:
Very good analysis I must say.......kosofe won't be an easy ride for oghara,the peperito camp is still very solid and can hold their own against anyone in that kosofe.

For amuwo I agree adewale is quite popular and very much on ground and has a former chairman,he buith that magnificent structure that was converted by fashola to be a general hospital, it was being built by adewale to be LGA secretariat.

Obasa i feel should have waited to go straight to senate if it means waiting 4 years, but his greedy and insecured nature won't allow him reason that way.

I agree about orelope,her father was a huge political colossus when he was alive and her brother served as rep too but the absence of aregbesola has really altered the political hegemony of alimosho.

Confirm, you sabi aswear.
You say make Obasa wait 4 years, if na you, you go wait! 😂 😆. Na politics ooo, things dey change within the twinkle of an eye. But I must say the guy don really capture power base in Lagos West. He personally installed like 5 LGA and LCDA chairmen, including his son. They call him Jagaban Agege.

Those Orelope family just dey enjoy political patronage. You can imagine that dem dey run like 3 to 4 different political parties every time, and e dey work for them. Dem dey get appointments and contract steadily
