I was on a visit to the Federal Medical Centre Ebute Meta last week. While not saying it is the best of facilities, I was impressed by the level of facilities they have there. For a government health institution, I was impressed by the level and nature of service on offer. Like most government owned medical institutions, the place is well staffed with good doctors that place a very high premium on human lives. The doctors are prompt at attending to patients and full of words of encouragements. The nurses are very polite unlike what obtains in the past or in some other similar health facilities. The place has a well stocked pharmacy where drugs are available at unbelievable prices. There are telephone numbers for complaints in case you have any. There is even free WIFI - though i don't know who needs it. The electricity is something else. Power gets restored in less than 2 minutes after power failure from their back up generators. All the wards are neat to a fault. The place gets swept and mopped every hour and whenever there is any need for it. The environment and the ambience is unbelievable for a hospital. No offensive or sickening odour from anywhere. There are several oxygen points for needy patients. The oxygen points even works when there is no electricity. The CMD of the place is always moving around the facility to ensure that things go smoothly.I also noticed that the fee is quite considerate for the great service that is rendered. My child paid N1500 per day of admission. This includes the use of oxygen for the whole day for some days and 3 nice children friendly meals. In fact, children with special dietary needs are taken into consideration. There is a dietician to attend to such cases.
I don't know who is responsible for the spectacular service in that place. But, I think it is great.

Sleeping on duty has started already

Maybe her husband no allow her sleep yesterday. Marathon before relocating to Abuja where she would be out of reach. Lol.

Amuocha:
Wait till Ambode goes....

Baba so pe will follow...useless APC agency

Is it Baba so pe that prevented the agency from doing its work or court cases? Please it's not a must for you to believe Lagos works unlike other States. But keep some of these warped opinions to your chest.

Halo22:
Trouble dey Sleep, Iyanga go wake am up. If Amaechi should recall the events and happenings when the militants were in place, he should just respect himself and allow Justice to hold water. Am sure Wike's affiliation with those guys, especially those in the creek is still in tact. So if they do anyhow, they will see anyhow.

Where is Tompolo, where is Ateke, where is Boyloaf, who listens to Dokubo anymore. Let them try nonsense. They will hear it from the guy who doesnt tolerate such.

iexplicit:
will the auditing include petroleum ministry he assigned to himself? and can they make the audit report public since it's a public office.

NNPC has been publishing its account on a month by month basis since the inception of this afminstration. Its activities have been subjected to sound auditing. Can you say the same about it under PDP. Sentiments no go kill una.

ifecoinc:
To checkmark the incompetents ones....all these old retarded ministers...

What did all the ministers under Obasanjo and Jonathan achieved. Pick three whose performances outshine their counterparts under Buhari and let's do an objective comparison.

Realtord43:
Minister's that did nt work... only 2% of buhari minister perform above average

What is 2% of almost 50. Amaechi, Fashola, Shittu, Audu Ogbe, Adamu, Adewole, Adeosun, Fayemi, Kachiku, all performed remarkably better than any of their counterpart under any pdp administration. But sometimes hate, sadness and needless sentiments prevents us from seeing what is right before us. God bless Nigeria.

emmabest2000:
Una never see something

This coming 4years of NEXT LEVEL will be full of ban upon ban tins

More bans loading.....

Let's ban to encourage the people in Aba if that is what it will take to improve our economy. I heard Agricultural sector contributed 30% to 2018 GDP. I think other sectors can do better. We only need the will power to do the needful.

grandstar:
This so called economist must have been solely educated I'm Nigeria because most of them just have some head knowledge. They are the equivalent of the computer science graduates from the nation's public universities with little knowledge about computing. Just theory and book work

How can an economist say that the country is spending half of the budget deficit on imported textiles? What correlation does that have? The government isn't the one spending the money on importing the textiles. Textile importers simply source the forex from the CBN and they pay for it! They didn't dash them this money or lent it to them.

If I sell you $500,000 at 360 to a $1 and you pay me 180m and you use the $500,000 to import textiles and the ship carrying it capsizes and you lose all stock, that one no concern me. I don collect my 180m

This ban from the CBN will simply put massive pressure on the black market and there'll be a massive gap between it and the investor window down for forex.

A government trying to fight corruption should do it's utmost for all business to be done above ground and not below it where corruption is bound to thrive.

Also,there's nothing wrong in importing textiles. How will the textile factories be competitive when there's inadequate power and high lending rates. This is doomed to fail from the word go. The Bank of Industry lent them 200b in the past which I'm sure a good chunk we t down the drain

It's time government focused on an export or perish mentality because that's the proper way to industrialise and not through import substitution which forces you to pour resources on areas lack comparative advantage.

What kind of third world country is this that does not have a textile sector that is a massive exporter of textiles and garments? If the nation has failed in that, it shows there are deep-rooted problems why the textile industry is dormant here.

I like your export or perish model. We can't export when there is clear incentive to import same items. I think it is high time the textile industry rise to the occasion and deliver us from this import madness of nameless brands of shirts and other wears that currently litter our markets. They should be on the offensive since loans are available at concessionary single digit rates for those aspiring to scale their productions. I think the CBN also needs to do more awareness on the available incentives to the tailoring and garment industry in order to intimate them of the available incentives.
God bless Nigeria.

Lawalemi:
INEC caused it. INEC picked him

That's a lie. He was declared the candidate by a court.

NaijaRoyalty:
Any northern states PDP is leading , INEC will declare inconclusive.

What of Plateau where APC is leading with a whooping 44000 votes but declared inconclusive because of 49000 cancelled votes? Hypocrisy is a serious problem with southerners.

Ayoswit:
Apc wants to actualize their rigging plan abi

What of Plateau where APC is leading with a whooping 44000 votes but declared inconclusive because of 49000 cancelled votes? Hypocrisy is a serious problem with southerners.

KwoiZabo:
Bauchi, PDP leading Inconclusive
Sokoto PDP leading too Inconclusive

Too sentimental. Inec has declared more Pdp winners than APC. Be objective for once.

richidinho:
we are talking about big fish like Oyo, Kano and Bauchi you are here talking trash

what is house of assembly

So 24 seats don't matter to pdp? Kano is gone, so is Bauchi. Consoke yourself with Oyo as you did before.

VirginFinder:
No 'federal resources' is greater than the will of the people.

Rivers people will vote Wike anytime anyday.

If he has the will of the people, then he shouldn't be worried as the people will rise to his defense. But events so far have proven to be opposite. A party that was endorsed yesterday is giving him sleepless night.

gentlegenius:
Ghana doesn't use naira... They use cedis, which is far more valuable than naira.
800cedis is worth more than or approximately equal to 2250naira.

Ghana devalued its currency to arrive at that level. But when it is critically looked at, the gains have been eroded by the loss in value after devaluation. Check history and all indices well before commenting on economic issues.

Esseite:
If only Nigeria progressed on GEJ's antecedents, by now we may have been looking at a reasonable GDP figure and not 0.5% from a whole construction industry which majorly accounts for our growth on infrastructure.

- Just maybe we would have been getting ready to initiate online voting for 2023.. now it seems like we have retrogressed to 2007.

If you had read well, you would have seen that the GDP grew by 2.38% and that the manufacturing sector contributed 0.5%. And by the way, we have several otgr sectors such as services, agriculture and oil all contributing their own quota. I hope you also read over 30% improvement over 2017 figures.

Ashinner:
Remember during the presidential election PDP won at sanwo olu polling boot that is why they brought card reader that is not working in order to rig the election.

Anything and everything is rigging in your books.

CharleyBright:
Amaechi the Judas!!!
Why have you decided to sell your people and kill them for a Clueless Aboki because of a useless post of Minister of Transportation?

The Northern states that Boko Haram and Armed bandits are killing upandan, army have not been deployed to protect lives, it is the almost peaceful Rivers state that army hv relocated to because of elections?
Can a Northerner kill his people or inflict pain on his people because of a Southerner?
Una mumu never do

Amaechi, i ask you again, Why are u doing these evil to your people just like your brother Godswill Akpabio is doing in Akwa Ibom?

You dont fight and destroy your home and run out to take shelter outside.

Amaechi, May it not be well with you and Godswill Akpabio. May it not be well with your generations for the evil you both inflict on your own people because of power.

And who was Wike supporting? Hypocrisy runs high in your blood. Sebi Atiku and Tambuwaal are Americans. True talk.

AustineE1:
i can tell you Obiano may just have killed himself politically,Anambra people dont forget..reason why his friend victor umeh of APGA lost his senatorial seat to PDP!
The governor is now so worfhless in the face of Anambra people.
The strides he made in the past has vanished with the thin Airs,he is now enemy number one of igbos. We are waiting for the evil day,to serve him with his own measure.

obi campaigned against his second term now. What do you expect him to do? Support the man who mobilized people and resources against him?

Add the total cancelled votes to that of Atiku and see if it changes the winner. Go to court like Iwu told Buhari in 2011

Naija4love:
Yes because this election is totally cheat ,scam, inconclusive. How can inec cancel ever 100 thousand vote in one state, some 70, 87,55,83 thousands vote in state that is cheat. Did you know how many families come out an vote that thousands inec cancel. I sad no. It rigging by inec

What can be her problems? Does she know better than 15million Nigerians? Perhaps she should tell us the source and cause of her tears. Nonsense.

Saintsami:
Eh ya!
i dn't blame her oo. We don't knw wetin she saw and what she is passing through.
some people are satisfied with the way he rule 9ja when some are not, not bcus they are haters but those people are getting hurt badly.
but my sister, calm down.
i pray this other 4 years will profit us in jesus name.

Are you sure you were around in 2015? The results were not ready until Tuesday or Wednesday. Please check.

AccessME:
I don't see any credibility in this election

unlike 2015 election results were declared state by states @ the NCC right from the very first day collayion from different states started tripping in less than 24hrs we held the final results.

Goodluck with Jega as Inec Charman in 2015 conducted the best democratic election Nigeria have ever had.

Like For Goodluck and Jega

See your comment. It was a draw in the end.

MJBOLT:

nice one but his heroic acts wont save man u from getting trashed by liverpool

And where will make up for the rest? See funny reasoning.

ShameOnAPC:
The margin isn't much, if PDP can have 40% in kano, Its over for Buhari

I am sure he understands better now with results coming from all over. Elections aren't won by endorsements of celebrities. It is the endorsement of farmers, the poor masses.

haywire07:
Tell Falz that, Nigerians elect Presidents , not one unit of 200 voters in ikoyi

Is Obituary not going to be houseboy to Atiku? Was Atiku not once a houseboy? I'm sure you can't even get near licking the guy's shoes. Rubbish.

Nukilia:
No more houseboy job for the Prof...

On the eve of a national election?

tribalistseun:
PROPAGANDA, Its called packaged emulsion matrix explosives and together with non-electric detonators are used for mining purposes for blasting or rocks. What terrorists use is IED( Improvised explosive device), crude technology and improvised. This is likely a quarry or mining company using their truck to deliver explosives to site.

So the electorate will lose when your preferred candidates lose? What a shallow way to think. The people who want Buhari to complete their railways, roads, give them fertilizer for their farms aren't that foolish my friend.

mcdokwe:
The Election tomorrow is a battle on many fronts.

Among political gladiators
Among regional consciousness
Among political forecasters
Among keyboard warriors

If Buhari wins, a lot of people along these lines would have won and lost, and the Nigerian people being on the losers list, but if any other candidate wins (Atiku stands the biggest chance), The electorates would find themselves on the winning list. So because they would have secured the biggest catch which is their rallying power to choose their leaders and discard ineptitude at will. And it can only get better from there as it would enable them choose whomever they want in the future, away from the bigger players or parties.

My Vote is for Atiku, but whoever wins, may God protect him and Give him bigger wisdom to lead Nigerians.
