I am surprised people are overlooking something she said in that interview. "So we've encouraged Nigerians as best as we could. What is within our hands, I have given, and I keep giving. "I remember giving for TB. When I heard there were so many TB cases, I gave N2 billion. To breast cancer, I gave a billion. For food malnutrition, I gave half a billion." I, we. They want to turn us to a charity case. What a shame. Before her husband's inauguration in May 2023, Remi Tinubu stated that her family did not require Nigeria's wealth to survive, emphasizing that they are already blessed. She pledged to use her position to guide the nation onto the correct path and promised that they would do the right thing with the country's resources. For a former Senator not to know that there are specific institutions to do what she is talking about, I now forgive Aisha Buhari who channeled her frustration to the right quarters. Madam, there are budget allocations for these things. It means you are not on top of your game if you have to fund the country with your charity when there is a government. Shame again. |
Usmanovic95:Akara wasn't even what caught my attention, it's this family's obsession with corn. Dem use corn do sacrifice? cause I no understand the Agbado thing 🌽 |
Smartworkfx2:Your last line is what Mr Buhari said in West Germany and got flak for it. Be careful ![]() https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBBnWzWByek? |
Kayode that time wey de challenge government, na wa oo. See how life changes in the other side. The standards these guys expected from OBJ, Yar'Adua and Jonathan after the 2015 magic went to flames. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=26OZDdGh2QQ Once upon a time, we used to shout if our president never spoke to us himself. Today, we are shouting at Bayo, an appointee

FortCavazosKnox:She is wasting her time on that show https://www.tiktok.com/video/7512703578042043678 I am not someone who like how boys here abuse women but on this one, I only have one advice for the men, DO NOT LOWER YOUR STANDARDS Luckily for them, polygamy will help some of them correct their mistakes but if they expect a monogamous man to cope, sorry for you.

narite:You are right. Men want that woman who is loyal to him and he doesn't mind killing himself for that which ironically means another man will eat the fruits of his labor but it's better that happens over his dead body. https://www.tiktok.com/video/7643380591634713878 |
Kelklein:Let me help you out. Following his re-election in September 2020 under the People's Democratic Party (PDP), Governor Obaseki paid a thank-you visit to President Buhari (who belonged to the opposing APC party). He explicitly thanked the President for keeping his promise not to interfere with the electoral process, allowing the will of the people to prevail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9dslxXW88Y Other Governors Who Made Similar Commendations: 1. Governor Charles Soludo (Anambra State): After winning his election in November 2021 under the APGA banner, Soludo similarly praised Buhari for his neutrality and ensuring a transparent voting process. 2. Governor Aminu Bello Masari (Katsina State): Following his 2019 re-election victory, he visited the State House to thank the President, who in turn reiterated his desire to leave a legacy of free and fair elections. 3. The Osun State Governor, Ademola Adeleke, famously visited President Muhammadu Buhari at the State House in Abuja specifically to thank him for ensuring a free and fair election. 4. Willie Obiano (Anambra State): Ahead of and following his 2017 re-election victory under the All Progressives Grand Alliance (APGA), Obiano praised Buhari's democratic integrity. He consistently thanked the President for keeping his word to guarantee a level playing field rather than deploying "federal might" to rig the state for the ruling party. |
Kelklein:Speaking about Buhari's time, I share the same view. Do you remember when he received both factions of the Ogun APC in Aso Rock? The man said go and fight for yourself instead of looking for endorsement

Why did you close this thread? Why do men not chase anymore? |
By Jahidah La Roche Dec. 2, 2025 La Roche is a physician assistant and public health professional. I was moments away from a routine screening colonoscopy when it happened again. The warm and professional pre-procedure nurse began preparing for intravenous insertion. She tied the tourniquet loosely around my arm, took a quick glance, and untied it within seconds. “I can’t find a vein. You must be dehydrated,” she said, moving immediately to the back of my hand. I asked her to try my other arm instead, explaining that IVs in the back of the hand are unnecessarily painful. She obliged, and the moment she placed the tourniquet, a vein became clearly visible. I could tell she was hesitant. But she inserted the IV successfully, and my procedure went on as planned That moment stayed with me not because of the IV itself, but because of the familiarity of that exchange. The quick assumption that my body — not her technique — was the problem. The way the explanation came instinctively, as though it were an unavoidable fact. It was an example of quiet, unspoken bias in patient care — one that too many Black patients know all too well. Racial bias in health care isn’t always blatant. It doesn’t always look like a refusal to treat or a catastrophic mistake. Sometimes, it’s a sigh. A glance. A provider who stops trying just a little too soon. These interactions seem small, but they aren’t. They shape how Black patients experience medicine — from minor procedures to life-or-death situations. And they contribute to the very health disparities the medical profession claims to be working to eliminate. Black patients, these experiences can become moments of medical mistrust. Difficult venous access — the medical term for “hard sticks” — is a real clinical challenge. But I didn’t meet the criteria for it. So why was the first explanation that my veins weren’t cooperating rather than her approach needing adjustment? In the limited literature available, nurses have cited “dark skin” more often as the rationale for an IV attempt failing than for one succeeding. Darker skin does not inherently make venous access harder; it becomes a convenient explanation when things do not go as planned. I’ve heard countless stories from Black patients describing blood draw horrors — being poked multiple times, told their veins are “rolling,” or that they are “difficult sticks.” I’ve seen patients start avoiding care altogether because of these repeated experiences. I know, because I’ve spent years on both sides of the chair. As a physician assistant and public health professional, I’ve placed thousands of IVs. I’ve also been the patient watching a provider struggle, hesitate, and ultimately stop trying. These bias-driven assumptions don’t just happen with IV placement. They happen everywhere in medicine. In a 2023 survey, 35% of Black adults said they have been treated unfairly or judged by a health care provider because of their race. These numbers aren’t abstract. They show up in who gets adequate pain management, who gets diagnosed correctly, who gets their symptoms taken seriously. They show up when a Black woman’s pain is minimized even during childbirth. They show up when a provider assumes a Black patient isn’t following instructions. And they show up when a routine IV placement is fumbled and explained away rather than corrected. The result? Eroded patient trust. Delays in care. Worsening health outcomes. Whenever racial bias in health care is called out, the response is predictable: more implicit bias training. But training alone won’t fix this. Awareness without action changes nothing. Medical and nursing educational institutions need to go beyond “cultural competence” and require practical, reinforced bedside training that accounts for racial differences in patient care. This includes proper venipuncture techniques for all skin tones — not as an afterthought, but as a core clinical skill. Hospitals and health systems must go beyond training sessions and create accountability structures that ensure providers are not rushing through care, making assumptions, or cutting corners. There should be real-time feedback loops where bias-related complaints are taken seriously, reviewed at the leadership level, and result in meaningful policy changes. Health care providers — nurses, physicians, and allied health professionals — must actively interrogate their own biases in real-time and ask: Am I giving this patient the same effort I would for someone else? Have I adjusted my technique before blaming the patient’s hydration status? Am I really looking? These moments add up. They have consequences — life-changing ones. Jahidah La Roche, M.P.H., P.A., is a physician assistant and public health professional with two decades of clinical experience, focusing on bias, health equity, and culturally responsive care for Black women. https://www.tiktok.com/video/7573101813889502495

Dpharmacist:They are watching too many movies and technically they are correct. If I use a sharp needle on any part of your body, blood does come out but they don't want to know the stories of Nigeria women who go abroad or live abroad and they chook them like animals all in the name of blood. Medical racism but our people too are somehow a part of this because we must get that card. They believe over there that Africans have a high tolerance for pain so them go chook you die all in the name of finding blood... https://www.tiktok.com/video/7575589064057965837 Yinbridge: |
Omoawoke:The score is now 4-0 Question C Do you want to update your earlier conclusion or you acknowledge that you rushed to premature conclusion? |
You can beat 40 scholars with one fact, but you can't beat one diot with 40 facts. Unfortunately, the olodo generation were not brought up with debating culture so they don't understand that attacking the person instead of the issue does not solve the problem. However I must commend her, she said something that's obvious. The unemployment rate left these kids without a choice and if she says it, the adults in the room will gaslight her that the government said unemployment rate is not high so you adults in the room, before you insult Gen Z, look what examples you've given them first.

Is he saying Atiku is a devil incarnate ![]() |
Omoawoke:That’s interesting There was a topic here on Nairaland last Sunday 👇 Faith On The World Stage: World Cup Players Are Boldly Proclaiming Christ https://www.nairaland.com/8695213/faith-world-stage-world-cup#139786264 A. How did you feel when the players were celebrating Christ at the exact same tournament? Do you think any public display of faith ruins a team, or is it specifically Islamic expressions that bother you? B. Ghana just held England to a 0-0 draw using a highly disciplined, tactical defensive setup. Yet, because a fan blew white powder in the stands and a local spiritualist joked about hexing Harry Kane, critics dismissed it as 'juju' and they even left the hardwork of the Ghanaian team that was robbed a clear penalty that could have won them the game for juju that gave them a draw. Would your reaction be different if the Senegalese coach was praising his marabout before this game instead of Islam/Christianity? PS: Senegal has a 90% Muslim population |
Others migrate to send money back home to build their countries. Nigerians japa only for things to get worse than where they left it. From those who traveled in the 70s to date, instead of the abroad money being able to be their second option, they find out that everyone is dependending on them as things are bad at home. The government has assaulted them home and away with bad management of the economy and social welfare. Shame. |
anonimi:Good call but when news broke that the National Assembly leadership spent that money to purchase foreign luxury SUVs for all legislators, the Labour Party leadership took a strict, highly critical stance. The LP national leadership explicitly directed all elected Labour Party lawmakers in the Senate and House of Representatives to vehemently oppose and reject the vehicles. The party leadership labeled the luxury purchase as an unacceptable "wastage" of public funds and a slap in the face to millions of Nigerians enduring severe economic hardship. Labour Party lawmakers, such as Senator Neda Imasuen (Edo South), publicly argued that it was unrealistic to completely block or reject the allocation. They pointed out that as a small minority in the parliament (e.g., only 8 LP senators out of 109 total), they would easily be outvoted. They claimed that even if they rejected the cars individually, the vehicles would not be returned to the manufacturers or save the government money. The debate was put to rest when Peter Obi himself held a press conference in Abuja, softening the party's initial stance. After discussing the matter with the lawmakers, Obi defended their acceptance of the vehicles by clarifying the following points: Official Use Only: The vehicles were not personal gifts but institutional assets meant exclusively for official legislative duties. Not Personal Property: Lawmakers are legally required to return the vehicles to the National Assembly fleet at the end of their four-year tenure. I am showing you the video where he held the press conference on it and had to yield but did say if they were in office, they would not have allowed such https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvNKUyf3G88?t=250&si=sgUrNsVDwJE-pMch Watching the video and seeing his vice presidential candidate who now runs his own show in PRP is another example of the party discipline we talked about. But we have to be realistic about Nigerian Politics today. APC has not hidden it at all, including the President, Akpabio the Senate President and the SGF, Gbaja that they are interested in seeing that opposition parties weak. I can be hypothetical but need to be realistic. The times we live in is a time where you need people of good conscience that cannot be bought so easily like before and this too is a test. That's why organized labour and many activists are dead today. They've been cashed out... Edit: even if Obi won and they did not have majority, there's nothing he could have done He would only make a moral argument because it was a NASS spending, a budget they could not have controlled

Sensiblerealist:They were afraid to lose power, that's the problem but they are now the big loser. Imagine if PDP expelled the Governors that betrayed them and never let them back into their party? Wike would have been a hero today because time has shown that all of them left for selfish interest. PDP would have gotten back to power max in 2023 because what is the difference now that they lost Senate, they lost house of reps and states all for what? The way the party disorganized itself and allowed Wike free reign gave its remaining governors no choice but to decamp. Most of the parties are not interested in building, the same fate that befell Labour Party after 2023. They didn't even listen to Obi when there was suggestions they don't take the national assembly cars. Everyone is just waiting for their turn to take out of the pie. |
Sensiblerealist:I understand you but don't forget that because of the style of APC politics, the PDP for instance cannot survive properly. Akpabio still has videos where he swore that PDP will never lose but today he is speaking for APC. I must not forget that PDP brought the destruction upon itself with nPDP and the likes of Obasanjo tearing their party cards in public. They also allowed the Governors grow too big that the monster they created can no longer be conttolled. A disciplined party would have expelled Makinde, Wike and their group in 2022 but why did they go what they did? The party does not follow its own guidelines. Those who were not patient with the destruction of their party had to leave to APC to achieve their ambition. The first thing we need is a party that must not be weaker than those it gives its platform. ANC in South Africa brought Zuma back to ground when he was becoming uncontrollable. Party supremacy must return first. |
AntiChristian: Gboss247:They say we are in the olodo uprising. If people do not under the basic functions of their government, I'm not the one to start re educating you on what you should have learned in school. UAE does the same thing where they make sure their citizens get housing first and it is not turned into a profit making model but no, the point flew over you. I'm sorry, not!

It is for God to forgive the terrorists. It is for us to arrange the meeting. They wanted a holy war, they can explain it to God themselves. The attempt by some Northern leaders to make these guys look like Niger Delta militants and then get contracts will never work. |
Sensiblerealist:No, we can't say that. PDP messed up but one thing we can give to them was that they managed the economy much better than APC. Let's not even go there. From Buhari to Tinubu, it's been disastrous. Tinubu set himself up by announcing the end of subsidy from day one, despite advice from his own inner circle. You see how he was proud to even say it that he was bold. Okay, you are bold, what buffer did you plan for your people? I agree most parties lack ideology but the way PDP managed the unity of Nigeria was far far better than the divisiveness of APC. If Buhari's own was to his people and Tinubu's own is to his, what do you expect from their next candidate? They will continue what they think is normal to them. APC ideology currently is dangerous for this country. At least PDP had disagreement which made it better for not only our democracy but the country. This one where they want the party to be like 1984, the tyrant is just about to be unveiled. If PDP did not admit they were wrong in 2007, APC would not even have had any chance to smell any seat. APC grew too fast and were not ready for what they asked for but today, it's so convoluted that you can be APC in the morning and PDP in the night but vote for SDP on election day. It's politics of poverty worsened by corruption, lack of principles and ideology. Anywhere belle face |
ogascomax:The party came in through arrogance, pride and propaganda but time is a beautiful gentleman, the embarrassment cannot humble them at all. They would rather die than admit the shame that they were deceivers and pretending to have the solutions to problems they could not solve. They won't return anything to where they met it because they never had it in them from the get go. They were only interested in grabbing power. If we thought Tinubu's voicing of grab it and snatch it was rugged, he was only voicing what the coalition came to do, to grab power but forget how to use power properly. In hindsight, we can now tell that a bad PDP was still better than the good APC. |
Gbadugbakun:💯 Protect your boundaries. You are doing well, for YOURSELF. |
israelmao:They always turn to the international community for hardship and they always have one fake intellectual who loves to drink from the sour water of bad events around the world for comradery on why you need to be patient in suffering but when it has to do with enjoyment, taaaaaa!!!! We shall stand on the mandate and they will give us what they feel like when ebinpawa is at maximum. Propaganda government is good at hopemaxxing https://www.tiktok.com/video/7647140635434093832 |
Mrchippychappy:You don't want to know the answer to this question
|
Gbadugbakun:If I didn't want to believe your story, that part caught me off guard. The real question now is, do you still like her despite this bad behavior? This was someone you wanted to chase once upon a time? Because the way you blocked her is not ordinary. There is something deeper. You can choose to ignore her but it seems to me e pass her bad behavior |
ppogba:Nobody is saying the stadium has no value. In fact, it's an important national asset, and it's good that Nigeria can host international matches there. The point, however, is about priorities and overall development. A state should not be judged by one landmark project alone. Citizens also expect quality roads, healthcare, education, industrial development, job creation, reliable infrastructure, and policies that improve everyday life. A government can build a world-class stadium and still be criticized if other critical sectors are neglected. Likewise, appreciating the stadium doesn't mean people should stop demanding broader development. Both can be true at the same time. Your comment even opens a wider net, the own goal of why we have moved from Lagos to Abuja and now to Akwa Ibom. The Godswill Akpabio Stadium is undoubtedly one of Nigeria's best stadiums, but let's not pretend it has been without issues. Super Eagles players have complained about the pitch on more than one occasion, leading to renovations and improvements. |
A child whose parents are not interested in their responsibility will become a menace to society. The child who is not embraced by the village will burn it down to feel its warmth Islamic text heavily emphasizes parental responsibility. The Prophet Muhammad stated, "Each of you is a shepherd and each of you is responsible for his flock" (Sahih al- Bukhari 7138). Critics argue that parents use the "religious education" label as a deceptive excuse to outsource the economic burden of raising their children.Sardauna's words 👇 There will be no room for idlers and carefree passengers in our schools, who have no ambition and no intention to be ambitious... If you fail to take full advantage of your education now, you may live to regret it for the rest of your lives... As regards the lazy and indolent ones, I see little point in government giving further financial assistance to their education. Shame on you all. Spits
