I dont know if you've had a car..if you'd ever insured your car comprehensively.... or whether you have ever had a costly car stolen under such circumstances before......... or knew anyone who had.

Police wont go after the "robbers" because there are no robbers to be seen anywhere!
They did not even steal it at gun point, they just saw it "waiting to be stolen" with keys in the ignition and drove it off!

And l tell you, the opinion of the insurance matters more than even that of the Police because Police cant insure your car...... and your car will get impounded if you ever try to drive without insurance and you get charged to court and sentenced for six months!

These are facts you can check out or ask those in the know.


Lastpage!

are u saying police wont investigate a case of car robbery if the owner left his car key in the ignition, thus making it easy for the car to be stolen.
pls cite references, thats a vague statement.
I dont know if u stay in nigeria, but I can tell u 90% of cars in naija are not insured or has third party at best (which is no insurance).
technically, motor vehicle comprehensive insurance is voluntary.
anyway lets not to deviate, the koko be say indecent dressing is not an excuse for rape.
no means no, and its high time men begin to respect that decision.
this is what getting a lot of our guys in trouble abroad.
besides I dont even believe an 18 yr old girl living under her father's roof will leave the house early in the morning dressed like a slot.
that lecturer has no excuse.
he did the crime, he must do the time.

lastpage:
Six and Dozen! Same thing!!

By leaving your keys in your wheels, you made you car an easy target to be stolen.
Insurance will not compensate you for such loss.
Do we say the company is blaming you for your loss or they are saying you put yourself in an untennable position?

Look, we all must take some responsibility for our actions, as adults.


Lastpage!

but the police will investigate the robbery, go after the robbers, arrest them and return his car.
and thats all that matters, not the opinion of some insurance companies or the society.
look here lets be factual
I wonder the 'so called indecent' dress an 18 yr old girl (that left her father's house early in the morning to follow her dad's friend to work) will wear that justified her being raped.
the man who left home early because he wanted to avoid traffic suddenly had so much time on his hand that he volunteered to become a tourist guide.
he got to office and this 18 yr old girl started flirting with him and playing with his manhood, telling him to be free and practically offered herself to him.
a girl he's meeting for the very first time.
I wonder how many of our matured women will be that daring and bold to offer themselves to a man they barely know.
and its amazimg that someone can even fall for that crap that has lies smeared all over it.
i'm not sure u really know so many typical 18 yr old, but majority are simple, naive, and naturally reserved.
they dont have the mind for all these things this lecturer said she did.

lastpage:
Correct, there are cases like that but do you know that this happens with "average students".

A lady once insulted a new Lecturer (she was not actually aware he was her lecturer at the time and saw him for the first time) and the man vowed she would never pass his course.
Whole class busted into laughter because the lady was a first class student, the most brilliant in their class!
One student said if she cant pass, then no one will ever graduate in our class.
Another said, take the paper to the moon to mark, that lady will score an "A"

What l am driving at is that it is mostly these "average students" that shout "lecturer molestation", the very brilliant ones dont even know lecturer exists or at best, the Lecturer is too proud of them to make any advances!


Lastpage!

so the average ones should be at the mercy of lecturers?
because I dont understand what you're driving at.
its a girls fault if she an average student there4 sje should not complain if a lecturer choose to sit on her destiny.

magicminister:
A smart analysis I must say.
It is only valid if nigeria manufactures its products.
Most of the things we use in nigeria are imported and you either pay top dollars for the original thing or you go for the china version.

Our cars are imported, building materials are imported, our education is zero so we send our kids abroad, generator is imported, aeroplanes imported, street lights imported, fans and cable tv imported.... even some of our food are imported from europe and america...
We pay the dollar equivalent (plus mark up prices) for these products.

Take it or leave it, the western world have taken our jobs and takeng our income.

We pay more for their products and earn less than them!...

Someone earning a million in nigeria is a king because only few people make a million a month.
That doesn't mean his purchasing power is on par with world standards.

please take time and read ppp.
what is the cost of rent in america compared to naija.
how much do u pay ur artisans for services rendered in naija compared to america.
how much do ur domestic workers earn here? is that what they pay same people in us.

magicminister:
.

500k per month is 2511 dollars. Per years its aboht 30, 000 dollars,
Guy chill

I know 3 people that pull that in 3 days in u.s.
They earn about 75 dollars an hour and work about 10-12 hrs a day (6 days a week)

Do D the maths my brother.
From the way you're talking, im sure u hvent experienced the nigerian labour market like that... even the top managers will be lucky to make up to 1.5 millio month.

500k is small money and as a frequent traveller, a single trip out of the country cos btw 700k- 2m depending on how long I stay abroad.... guy chill okay... with this 500k talk I know u dont really know what u saying

have u heard of the word PPP -purchasing power parity?
because if u do, u won't be comparing wages of a developing nation to that of developed.
if nigerians start earning exactly what their americans counterparts earn, then I guess Americans will come down here to take jobs,
because
someone earning a million naira in naija is a king while someone earning 5000 dollars is not noticed by his neighbours.

hinwazaka:
its funny that you just browse this things online without knowing the terminologies or theories that propound them.
You ask me how the government should improve the production levels of our manufacturers. Didn't you see in my writeup some suggestions I gave out on doing so. If you had been keenly watching the fiscal and monetary policies of the last administration you would not ask me such an ignoble question. A stronger purchasing parity is the dream of every nation but not at the expense of international trade. So you believe that by denying people access to foreign currencies our Naira will all of a sudden take flight. The gains we witnessed this weekend will in the future reverse their numbers if we don't tackle the real problems that plague our failing economy. Are you aware there are international debates on the impact and effects of contractionary monetary policies and austerity measures. The instruments being utilised now are elements of the infamous SAP policy which to some schools of thought crashed our industrial sector. Foreign currencies where denied to manufacturers then as well, even though palliatives were supposedly given. It's a big hurdle to access funds in a free flowing economy, imagine how it would become a year or two down the road. The fact is that the government want to return us to a government prone economy and unfortunately for them such things never work out in our country. I recommend you read up on Monetary Economics by Jinghan and also development economics by the same author. You can also throw in Global finance before you start claiming you know what you are saying

now you ague we should boost our production and industrial capacity. that I agree.
but is it going to happen overnight?
if we start planting cocoa, cotton and palm oil trees that will yield millions of tonnes of products and help in favourable trade balance, dont u think that will take time?
if we embark on massive industrialization of our economy, do you think by next year we will become an export regional power?
so what do u want the govt to do till then?
fold their hands and allow the naira attain junk status?
no serious govt will allow that.
I dont know what u do, but this policy will favour manufacturers on the long run.
factories import raw materials that they process into finished goods.
They will surely benefit from a strong naira.
OR you prefer the devaluation of the naira.
Most factories in the eighties collapsed due to naira depreciation courtesy SAP.

PvtParts:
That's why I keep telling you Oduastanis to get to work planting cocoa.
You can't expect oil to feed 150 million parasites

my piece of advice to u. quit ethnic bigotry. bigots struggle to attain there full potential. they rarely do well in life.

PvtParts:
The market can generate forex by simply exporting more than it imports.

so positive trade balance will happen overnight?


and until then the govt should wait and watch as its currency turn to tissue paper and the economy is dollarised.
every serious govt manipulates her currency as the state of the economy demands. china and south korea are the worst culprit.
I dont really get your point about the manufacturing industry because as far as I know, our manufacturers are majorly importers of raw materials and intermediates products.
our value chain supply is weak, so most factories rely on imported industrial components to produce finished goods.
therefore a stronger naira is beneficial to the manufacturing sector.

skyfullofstars:
Now, on the topic itself... I come from a country where gay people get married.

The issue is that my country doesn't take religion seriously, that's why I believe they support gay marriage. I think that if the vast majority of the people had firm convictions of what the Bible or Quran say, they would be against gay marriage, but they don't.

Let me explain the point of view from my continent... They believe that, for example, if a woman is a lesbian, there's no problem, since it's her own individual issue. She is free to date other women, and love them, as long as she is a good person, I should't mind her own sexuality. She can still be a responsable student/worker, a sweet person that manages the family very well, fun to be with, etc. She's a human being after all, the only difference is who she chooses to love. In all the other aspects she may be a better person than many heretosexual people.

Now, these gay people are not that religious either, so they have no idea what the Bible says. That's why they don't think twice and go ahead for what they feel.

I understand the points of view of African people... But it's a really hard topic. People who are gay simply feel that way, they don't choose it. So in the name of religion we should help them change their minds, but with love. They don't intend to hurt anybody. We should comprehend them and help them become straight again.

wow
I love you
see maturity and intelligence in display.
homosexuality is a clash of culture and religious belief across continents.
just like abortion, it will always be a conflicting issue.

ROSSIKE:
Spare us your tired, hand-me-down tales from western racist accounts who wish Zimbabwe to remain their captured territory. The land redistribution and subsequent western sanctions are the price that must be paid by Zimbabweans if they are to secure a real future for their children and beyond. Why don't you go and hand your own land to a bunch of whites, and when they cart away all the profit, they'll remind you of the crumbs thrown at you and why you should be grateful? Leave Zimbabweans out of your slave mentality.

tell this to the 4 millions zimbabweans who are in south africa doing menial jobs to survive
yet refused to go home in the face of apparent xenophobic attacks from angry hosts.
by the way, why are they are not at home working on the redistributed farms.
if the land reform is a success as you allude, then why are Zim running away from the land.
See you, you think to till the land for profit is all about hoe and cutlass?
nonsense.
are even aware that most of Mugagbe's cronies he gave the land to are silently leasing the land back to white farmers.
Talking about putting the cart before the horse.
do you even know that the man still collects aids from these so called western nations.The U.S he plummets every now and then, remains the largest source of foreign donor to his govt.
very pathetic.
He travelled to china the other day, for the asean convention and said 'the days of Africa selling primary products to western nations in exchange for consumer goods are over'
I was like so what exactly does asian nations buy from Zim and what do they sell in return.
abeg, the man is simply out of touch with reality.
I dont respect african leaders that spits venom against western countries but yet failed woefully to achieve economic sustainability for the common good of their own people.
Talk to me about Gadaffi or that botswana leader and I will listen.

ROSSIKE:
So when will the west remove the damaging economic sanctions on Zimbabwe?

Why are the Zimbabweans still being punished for the equitable redistribution of the land?

The answer remains a mystery!

The land, no longer owned by the white minority of 4%, has been redistributed to the majority, and resources are now being utilised by the majority of the country, as farms, mines, and myriad other uses, courtesy of Robert Mugabe and his ZANU PF party's nationalist poilcies.

Even the UK's Channel 4 news now admits the land reform has brought prosperity to the black majority:

Land Reforms Bring Prosperity to black Zimbabweans:

http://www.channel4.com/news/land-reform-brings-prosperity-to-black-zimbabweans


Heck... even the BBC grudgingly admitted the land reforms were a success:


Zimbabwe land reform ''not a failure''

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-11764004


Even Oxfam are finally admitting Mugabe was right:

Has Zimbabwe's land reform actually been a success? A new book says Yes:

http://oxfamblogs.org/fp2p/has-zimbabwes-land-reform-actually-been-a-success-a-new-book-says-yes/



So, when will the west lift the economic sanctions against Zimbabwe?

I dont know whether the land reform is a success or not,
but for a country that was formerly a net exporter of food to now become a net importer of food says a lot about the so called land reform
u just dont hand over farms to people who lacked the technical skill, knowledge and capital on how to run a viable commercial enterprise and expect a transformation.
if thats how u intend to run your business, then i feel sorry for u........


Let's face it, Zimbabwe is an economic disaster.
The biggest source of revenue for the nation is remittance from Zimbabweans working in south Africa.
The severe economic condition has forced it's citizens to RSA to work low paying jobs
The average wage in Zim is nothing to write home about...... 5 dollars per month
And u are even among the lucky few to get that kind of job
Unemployment is rampant........at 94 %.
Despite the ridiculous cheap labour (something that should encourage investors) factories are closing down everyday.
Cost of doing business is high and bureaucracy is daunting.
Efforts to lease the fertile lands to competent hands for commercial farming was rebuffed.
Despite the relief from the Chinese........they are Zim biggest buyers of its natural resources
Only the members of zanu-pf party and their cronies has seen improvements in their lives.
The rest of the country has given up.
Chronic inflation has destroyed any reasonable purchasing power
And essential commodities has simply disappeared from stores.
Effort by fellow Africans, incuding my ibo brothers to revive the ailing retail market by their ingenuity was resisted.
Mugabe simply said no foreigner must own a store or shop, instead the foreigner should employ a local as the real boss of the shop.

Now
Someone wants me to respect such a man simply because he's antiwest.
Nonsense.
Mugabe is a failure.....an example of everything wrong with African leaders
He should go.

well, this report basically corroborate similar poverty index reports from world bank and national bureau of statistics.
SW has the lowest poverty rate while NW has the highest, although facts and figures vary.
The various methodologies used in carrying out this reports are always controversial.
white people view poverty from a different angle, they define poverty as a person living on less than two dollars per day and lay emphasis on access to clean water, basic sanitation, quality education and healthcare, infant mortality rate, maternal mortality rate, life expectancy etc
Nigerians view poverty differently and believes poverty eradication has more to do with acquisition of material wealth such as mansions, luxurious cars, private jets; viability of commercial activities; presence of big supermarkets, shopping malls; individuals' purchasing power etc.
This will naturally cause a disagreement among us anytime this reports are released.
However, methodologies follow basic scientific principles which includes universality, reproducibility, testable and tentative.
If your poverty methodology is acceptable in Nigeria but rejected in Japan, then its not scientific and cannot be used to assess poverty.
Until we are a able to produce a universally acceptable methodology on poverty rate, we will continue to abide with theirs'.

omenka:
Good morning.

I'm not a regular on this board- in fact this is my first time ever of visiting and I see you guys are doing quite a great job here. Kudos.

For some of us not so ardent in the "ways of Christ", there are certain questions that have been tugging at our minds for years and I hope bringing it here, someone knowledgeable could help put things into clearer perspective.

Now, I've been having some difficulty believing the Christian narative of how man came to being. I don't believe a hindered percent in the Big Bang or Darwinism as well, but if you ask me, so far, both seem to offer even better explanation as to the question of life and how it has come to evolve.

According to our religion, the first men were Adam and Eve and every other man is a product of their procreation. My questions then are:

1. What race was Adam and Eve??

2. It is said that after Cain killed Abel, he saw banished from Eden and went to live in some distant place (make una no mind me, I no sabi bible well well..) where he married and bore lots of children- question is, where did those people come from? Were they his brothers and sisters??

3. How did we end up with the different races we have today- where did Whites, Blacks, Asians, indians, Arabs, Hispanics, and Persians with all their genotypical/physiological differences come from??

4. If we were to accept the variations in "3" as products of genetic mutation, could we then extend to argument to explain the origin of man as a product of genetic mutation/evolution??


I wish the pastors and evangelical scientists in the house could shed some light on this.

Thanks.

ok I'll try to explain based on revelational understanding I have on the topic
Now, the bible made us to understand that God is a spirit and he created man in his exact likeness i.e God created man a spirit.
In Gen 1:27, God created man in his own image(which is the spirit and not the body), male and female he created them and gave them the mandate to populate the earth.
and man has been doing this for over thousands of years he has been in existence.
Now man needs a body to function in his present terrestrial world which is the earth.
The bodily form man acquire per time depends on environmental and climatic condition he finds himself at that period.
As man evolves his body adapts to the reality of his new world in order to survive and function.
These explains the different body forms ascribed to man through his evolutionary timeline.
The homo sapien sapien (the modern man) presently occupies the earth and they differ depending on the location they live.
Those close to the equator develop a darker skin pigment to avoid developing skin cancers due to direct exposure to sunlight.
Those who lives on high elevation tends to be hairy in order to protect themselves from cold.
That's what evolution is all about and also explains the variation in mankind
and for your info man is still evolving.
down the line man may no longer have the pinna because we don't really need it.
both the wisdom tooth, coccyx and appendix may also disappear because they serve no useful function.
however what has remained constant is the way God made us...spirit form.
that has not changed and will never change.
what has changed is our body and physical appearance and God is not responsible for that.
God didn't create anybody a body, whatever body you have is a prerequisite for u to function and to have an identity people can relate with.
Even when God was to be made man, he had to shed his celestial glory for an earthly body in order to dwell and relate among us.


please it's worthy to note that man is a spirit, he has a soul and dwells in a body.
Out of the 3, the body is of the least priority to God anyway, its going to eventually degenerate, never to be restored.
In heaven, we are all going to be spirit beings with celestial bodies. No race, no colour, no black, no ethnicity, no hispanic, no white.
So why should God pay so much attention to such inconsequentials.
Therefore as followers of christ, its imperative for us not to dwell too deeply on such matters that are purely academic at best.



Now the story of Adam and Eve in the garden of eden is simply a poetic allegory to explain the fallen state of man, the subsequent separation of man from God and setting the stage for the eventual reconciliation btw man and God.

freecocoa:
You are crazy you know.

When I say there's little difference, what I mean is, you find out that, they often reason alike. An agnostic doesn't know if there's a God but leads his/her life like there's none just like the atheist, not really caring what the said God who might or might not be, thinks.

Anyway, the christian god is really an annoying douche bag, I mean, how confused, heartless, hypocritical and whatnot can he be?

Btw, my siblings are on the verge of disowning me.

I thought u are here to find answers.......
all these atheism, agnosticism or whatever wont help u.....
they will only confuse your mind the more in your quest to seek knowledge.....
open up your mind to the truth and you shall find the peace you so much need ......
that u are a Christian doesn't make u a zombie or someone without a rational mind
God even told us, come lets walk and discuss together that we may agree.

Our fingers may be reduced to four or even three because to use ur hand efficiently, all u need is the thumb and one or two fingers. The rest are just extras.
however what has remained constant is the way God made us...spirit form.
that has not changed and will never change.
what has changed is our body and physical appearance and God is not responsible for that.
God made man a spirit not a body.

I think for every age gruop , there are more single guys than ladies. That's a fact. It's always been like that........its not something new.
However, the mere fact that a man can marry younger women while that cannot be said for women makes the case of aged spinsters more disturbing.
Most aging bachelors will eventually settle down.......one way or another.
That for aging spinsters could be a daunting task.........the more reason a young lady should ensure she's plucked when her cherry blossoms the most.
God will help us all.

WOW!!!! This is the most despicable thing i have ever read lately! Imagine, making excuses for cheating? Adultery for God's sake! Once you are married and anyone cheats, it is absolute grounds for divorce! How can you break trust and say it's not the worst thing that can happen in a marriage? It is ONE of the worst things that can happen in a marriage!!!!! And if you are a woman and you wrote this, you are a disgrace to Nigerian women and women all over the world! Nigerian women have been victimized by their men for so long, they are suffering from a bad case of Stockholm syndrome! Shame on you OP!!!! And before you yarn dust, i am not a woman/feminist, but i am a firm believer in fairness and equity!!!! Plus i have a gaddamn mother and sisters and would absolutely not want my sister to be victimized by a cheating spouse!!!!

hmmmmm
so u will advise your sister to divorce her husband if he cheats on her?
I'm a christian and a firm believer in marital fidelity...... but let me tell u something
life is not all white and black as u think........rather, it comes in different shades of color, sometimes matted together u cant even decipher.
and when it hits u......taking irrational decisions like the ones u posted maybe counterproductive.
ever wonder why people say 'life is not fair......get use to it'.

@ post
I'm sure the op never encouraged infidelity of any kind......
rather all she's saying is dont do anything deemed extreme when u discover ur spouse' infidelity.....
there are other options.......

To my naija women....the truth remains,
the sole reason why your husband will never cheat on you is if he has a genuine fear of God in his heart.
the bible says the fear of God is the beginning of wisdom......
A wise man who knows this and keeps it to heart will know that adultery is a destroyer and a destiny killer. proverbs 5:1-23.
anything apart from the above guarantees nothing.
your beauty, cooking, wealth, love, care, charm, influence, nagging, threat may not prevent him..........
that's the realistic truth.

If those in Anambra with higher indebtedness can survive, I think they will survive. Besides, may be Aregbesola didn't want to follow GEJ's footsteps, who has been borrowing money to pay FG workers, I don't just know.

aregbesola would have borrowed from the bank to pay salaries but have exceeded the debt limit for the state.
no bank will loan the govt of osun state any money.
the problem in osun state is obvious........
a large chunk of the state allocation goes to debt servicing, leaving virtually nothing for personel cost, salaries and capital projects.
lets face it, aregbesola has no business with governance.
the guy ran the state into insolvency with his dubious welfare programs
aregbesola ran a socialist government and for a state like osun with meagre source of revenue........that is an issue.
well.......the people of osun need not complain
they loved and adored him when the oil money was sustaining his welfare programs like the free school meal, opon imo, unemployment benefit for graduatres.......
thus they should endure with him during the hard times.......
as yorubas will say.....
you dont dine and wine with the baron, and then turn against him in the day of trouble.

Speaking as a doc who has spent some time treating snake bite victims in rural hospitals(again not the most pleasant aspect of my career).

1.Most poisonous snakes when they bite do not inject poison. Especially as they are not in a ''position'' to settle down and do the deed.

2.Wise medics use the Whole Blood Clotting Test to find out if you have been poisoned by a biting snake. Blood is taken from you and placed in a clean tube. If it clots in four minutes....you are safe.If it does not clot in twenty minutes...and for a long time thereafter....oops. .

The basis of the test is that snake venom contains chemicals that prevent the blood from clotting. Also....if your bite wound continues bleeding....that is another warning sign.(Infact...research is going on into potential medical uses for snake venom.).

3.Of course they should not have washed the bite site with soap. Should not have even touched it. But if they did no 2 above...and found out that the blood clotted in normal time.....then they knew that they need not worry.

4.Transfer to a teaching hospital? Now that is where funding for healthcare comes in....another long discussion.

oga doc
there is nothing wrong in washing snake bite wound with soap and water
its an acceptable and recommended emergency fist aid treatment in the management of snake bite injury.
i wonder where all these misinformation is coming from.......most esp from a fellow doc
u read her post and condemned the right thing.....yet was silent on the application of tourniquet around the wound site, and that is a wrong thing to do.
i think we should be careful information we post on social media before we mislead the public.

onyxo76:
i didnt make any comments about the snake bite incident i only made a general observation

sorry wrong post

onyxo76:
As a health worker in a university clinic let me drop a few lines,
First it's sad that a life was lost but then let me point out some mistakes that students commit..

1. A large number of students never register in school clinic hence there is no record to trace,that's why
the card was asked for,though he could have had some care till he stable enough to identify himself.
There was a case of a student from another school who came visiting and had to be referred to the teaching hospital only
to sneak out after treatment and at the end the poor doctor on duty had to foot the bills as he wasn't a student of that
school.

2.In any emergency don't ever wait for ambulance services as most clinics have just one which might been used to convey a
bad case to a tertiary center,carry the sick person as best as you to the clinic .

3.Most students over burden the few workers on duty especially late at night,i've seen cases of students coming at 1am to complain of pimples
and vaginal discharge -these are cases that could have seen during the day and leave the workers to deal with serious cases that might
present at night. you can't expect the single doctor on duty to attend to you when he has a bad case of sickle cell crisis that he is trying to stabilize .

i'm not trying to exonerate the workers on duty that night but students also have a role to play,my condolences to late students family .

And all u guys shouting natural resources exploitation are beginning to sound like a crack c.d..........
Botswana, a successful African country by universal standard developed her economy around diamond exportation.
They have consistently maintained a budget surplus and huge foreign reserves just by exporting diamond.
South Africa is another African country that depend on natural resources exportation as a source of foreign exchange earning.
Australia is a country ranked among the top five countries in prosperity index, yet 75% of her exports comprises coal and iron ore.
Instead of u guys to ask how serious countries are getting the best out of their natural resources....... All u do is to rant about exploitation.
As per what u wrote about HIV..........sorry, l don't do conspiracy theory.
If u have hard facts showing HIV was introduced into africa via immunisation..........
Present it and we'll debate it.

Hey am not blaming any white person for our problems. Read through my posts again. Was only trying to say most whites and some dimwit africans are extremely ignorant of history and present day reality in progressive Africa because they rely soley on the racist western media that derives joy in portraying africa as a shi.t hole!

Who would want to invest in a shi.t hole? in a stagnant continent? cant you see what they media is doing? driving foreign investors away. We have the good bad and ugly, why always the negative?


These racists do not have you in mind! sorry to say. They faster you know this, the better for your enslaved mind.

No media depicts Africa a shit hole.....
Africa is depicted exactly what Africans have turned it into....
I dont know the western media you watch......
but bbc dedicates an hour everyday talking about investment opportunities in Africa
cnn also has a biweekly program called inside Africa that talks about African enterpreneurs......
however, if you feel this is not enough.....
why cant we launch our own cable news channel and show the world the image of Africa we want them to see.
cnn and bbc isn't for Africa viewers.....
so they will never be designed to satisfy you.
lets learn from al Jazeera and cctv.....
rather than howling and whining.

Anything coming from white racists, is a no no for me.


They don't even know what's wrong with us. And
funny enough, they honestly don't want to know.
Am one person that will never play a sycophant to
anybody no matter how highly placed you are. I
criticise our leaders' odious behaviour mercilessly.
And even us as a people, because our leaders are a
product of us. We are all corrupt! i see this everywhere i go. Try correcting any one and watch their spiteful
reaction.

Let me say this, you have no right to criticise these
leaders if your small-scaled lifestyle is no different! I
see so many big hypocrites here condemning the govt
when they are they vilest beings walking this earth.
Shame!



Albeit that, no white ignorant slowpoke who does not
give two rats about us should dictate to us how to run
ourselves! Are we living for them? Are we here to
please or show white people what we can do? These
are racists who see themselves as superior to all
humans based on their economic and infrastructural
progress. Damn! They pretend like they care about us
when in fact they want us down so they can maintain
their superiority status. Even if we were doing so
great, these parasites will still find a reason to hate
us.


Imagine someone, saying the black's race problem is
genetic. LOL And some people applauded that. If our
unique problem is genetic then lets all go sleep after all
it is in us to remain like that. LOLZZZZZZZ



Most white people are so ignorant and damn gullible
that they believe anything coming from the western
media. If there is any group in this world that has been
lied to, it is the white race. LOL


yea, had to repost.

I agree we don't live for them and they don't live for us as well.
however, while they don't disturb us with their problems.....
we hardly get by our problems without involving them
ebola would have wiped out at least 3 west African nations if not for their interventions...
most donor contributions towards eradicating HIV/AIDS and polio in Africa comes from them....
and I dont even want to start on the Mediterranean crossing.....
I cant continue to spoon-feed you and expect me to take you serious...
You dont like what people write or say about you.......
then get your acts together and prove them wrong.
pure and simple.

It is unfortunate that most of these people are not good in business management. Their pricing policy is always wrong, they target the few rich without considering the multiplier effects of quantity sales.

I think they lack the capacity to engage in mass production of their products.
Value chain production is a challenge in this country except they will produce in Asia.
Its when they can churn out millions of their products within a short possible time that they can target the general masses.
Until then, their limited production capacity will inadvertently make their products a target of the elites.

Emyben:
I cant argue with you, go up and read it up again, trailing behind in infant mortality makes u conclude that they struggled in childhood assesment? Is infant mortality the only childhood and pregnant women health assesment made?

nope, but I picked it because IMR is a strong health indicator used in measuring basic healthcare services in a nation.
u guys cannot lag behind in that n be boasting of best HDI.

OneNaira6:
This is my last reply to you. I don't like teaching people common sense. I'm not your counselor.

Infant mortality rate was based on 1 out of 1000 children meaning 999 children survived therefore your comment on SE children not seeing their first birth day is relitively stupid.

Btw: incase you weren't aware, Child mortality rate in Nigeria is EXTREMELY high in comparison to every other nation be it developed or developing. SW under 5 mortality rate, which is 45% is not that much lower than SE infant mortality which is 69%. Both case are still a high freaking number and something that needs to be address. So instead of jumping that you scored higher than one region in one sector despite them scoring higher in pretty much everything else, I suggest go home and figure out to reduce the high mortality rate in that country rather than feeling mighty just because you had a slight lower high rate.

One more thing are you serious about maternal and infant mortality goes hand in hand. Are you really serious? I'm not even going to address that cause I honestly don't believe even you believe that BS.

Finally I'm not from SE, I just don't like lying BS especially when the evidence is right infront of us all to read. Is an insult to all intellect

oga go read infant mortality rate.
then read under 5 mortality rate n childhood mortality rate.
then we'll come back n discuss that aspect.
I didn't say IMR and maternal mortality rate goes hand in hand, cos I dont know where u got that from.
rather both are health assessment indicators

u guys came here and were gloating about a weak educational system that produce sub standard paper certificates products.
but when others came n pointed out ur weak basic sanitation n poor health indices, u went emotional and started talking about international standard.
pls calm down n use that ur common sense to counsel them on international standard when it comes to quality education a nation/region should be proud of.

OneNaira6:
Since you cannot read or grasp what you read I decided to help you out.

The indicator of human development ranged from 4.1a to 7.9

4.1a under five mortality rate

The only other sector SW ranked high

4.2. Infant mortality rate


This is the ENTIRE post regarding infant mortality rate. Point out to me where SW was accreditated the least. Incase you cannot read, stating that NW had the highest followed by SE does not automatically mean SW has the least. The least could have been SS, NE, NC, etc. You self accreditated your region that title. As I stated earlier "THERE WAS NO PLACES IN THAT ARTICLE THAT gave SW tops in infant mortality rate. Now prove me wrong I triple DARE ya

4.3 measles immunization



5.2 child birth using skilled workers


5.3 contraceptive prevalence


5.4 Antenatal care



5.6 unmet needs for family planning



6.3 Comprehensive knowledge in HIV

NC and SE had that stats written up as the least.

6.4 sleeping under nets

This is not a human development index incase you weren't aware

7.9 water sanitation

The only other sector SW ranked tops.

These are all the sectors in terms of human development and like I said earlier, SW was on top in 2 sectors out of 8 sectors. You ranked the least in every other sectors excluding two more where you place a tiny slight above SS (even though I doubt that). The fact you place tops in 2 sectors does not mean you people have the highest in human development. SE still had highest percentage when all sectors in overall human development. 5 sectors out of 8 out beats 2 out of 8 sectors. Common sense.
In terms of the human development SW scored 25% in comparison to others 63%

In terms of education, they beat una. In terms of human development they beat una

Now do you have any more question? Or do you need more clarification on simple statistics

but why did the SE region perform so poorly in infant mortality rate.
no other southern region had such dismal performance in all the indices reported.
u should be worried if u know what that means.
IMR and maternal mortality rate are strong measures of socio-economic status of a community.
Since under 5 and infant MR goes hand in hand and SE didnt record a dismal figure in the former, then I want to believe the latter figure is an error.
if not, then.........I really dont know what to say

and please.......
u cant be boasting of the best HDI when your children find it difficult to celebrate their first birthday.
do something about that first.
