The only downside to Concrete surface is the noise. Way too noisy than Asphalt.

Suing the Nigerian Govt. is a big waste of resources, in time and money.

Never heard of an association or person, win the ruling govt.

But i wonder why people with so much bitterness will always be happy when people choose to migrate for greener pastures.

Are you their source of livelihood?

May be you are too young to know or remember a Gani Fawehinmi, who has been winning cases against the government even Military government till his demise.
Many cases have been won against the federal government by many lawyers

Lastly, the case in court is not against the federal government but NMCN.

Health / Nurses Geared Up For A Mega Rally by Soknown: 4:47pm On Mar 22
πŸ›‘β—β—πŸ™πŸŽ€

Dear Great Nurses/Professional Colleagues,

We bring to your attention that despite all efforts both from the House of Representatives and other interventions to get NMCN to continue with the verification of nursing certificates, they have for reasons best known to them refused to yield the instructions on Reversal and non-implementation of their illegitimately conceived Revised Nursing Verification Guidelines.

Instead of towing the part that conforms with international best practices in consonance with other Nursing regulatory boards, they rather chose to entirely suspend the verification or certificates issued by them for the past 4months.

This situation has continued to mitigate the progress of all nurses seeking their certificate verification both home and abroad.

May we by this notice inform you as follows;
1. We are not fighting against any person at NMCN or the registrar as an individual
2. We are not fighting against NANNM or the National executives who despite all the glaring evidence regarding this verification abnormally, have chosen the part of condemnable silence instead of speaking out for this honourable profession whom they directly deduct contributions from source.
3. We are not against any professional interest or government agencies within the country.

❀‍πŸ”₯β­•Let it be made known that our primary goal is to condemn any policies or guidelines that goes against the human rights of those practicing Nursing.

❗❗We are fighting to ensure that the human rights violations and Nigerian constitutional breach which this verification policy is test running with the Nursing and Midwifery profession in Nigeria shouldn't be enforced in this country.

We are presently collaborating with all known Nursing professional associates around the world to take lawful measures towards bringing this atrocity against Nigerian trained Nurses to an end.

πŸ›‘As you may be aware, some group of Nurses have taken up this issue to court. We are in support of the bold move while making consultations and extending a hand of partnership with them as we tow the part of open dialogue, continued negotiations and political solutions to this sad situation.

We ask all Nigerian trained Nurses to remain calm and resolute within this challenging period.

Sincerely yours,

Upcoming association

Wrong to kill the Lion. They only needed to improve their safety procedures.

It is a standard practice to put down any animal that has killed a human.

What exactly are they investigating again?
Why the Lion killed the man ,or who sent it to kill the man?

"Investigations" done suffer for Nigerians hand.

Rest in peace to the man and measures should be taking to prevent reoccurrence.

Yes, there is a lot to investigate. Like why is there a loophole in the safety protocol.

Like what was the lion's temperament and behaviour before the fateful day.

What was his feeding pattern.

There is a lot to investigate and learn from.

Many are japaing because they want to be called foreign based because they are feeling inferior to those who leftβ€”- so it is a welcome development by the government- even 2 years too small if na me dey make that decision - na 5 years before they can practice abroad- at least gain experience and give back to Nigeria that provided you cheap education

To qualify as a Nurse in the USA the debt you will rack up is up to $50,000 student loans but in Nigeria you owe nothing- yet u cant give anything back ? thats very selfish

Na because them no dey pay tax for Nigeria na him make body dey catch them- In some countries IF you live abroad and you want to buy properties you pay extra taxes

Even as an American citizen wether naturalized or born in the USA if you make up to $100,000 a year in any country you live in, you must pay taxes to the American government or the IRS will come after you for tax evasion. Its the duty of every citizen wherever you are to pay taxes to the government not just to go online and start bashing Nigeria πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬

Nigeria need to tax those overseas even if na 1% of our earnings - yes make us pay taxes - let us vote too and make us able to run for office too easily

thats how we can build our revenue base and develop Nigeria - imagine how much taxes diasporans will remit to Nigeria in a year - even if it is 1% tax of our annual earnings
Hello Friend, can you clarify your position because you seem to be mixing things up.

Class action is the way out. The guys at the NMCN has no or little say on this. No amount of being called out can help in reverting this action. It has everything to do with FGN.
Take them to court.

Sapala is not cooked dried maize and coconut. That is owowo.
Sapala is a type of vegetable soup from the flowers or a shrub
I think, what you are referring to is called Isapa which is totally different from Sapala.
There is another 🌽 meal, made from dehusked and broken corns, cooked and eaten like rice.

Picture 4 (Amala Lafun, AKA "Amala fufun" meaning white Amala
There is/was a snack called Robo Alata. Made of melon More or less a melon cake. Just like Kuli kuli is made from ground nut, Robo is made from melon.
Another one, Abaari. Made of corn, prepared like moi moi.
Furthermore, DαΊΉαΊΉlαΊΉ. Beans and okra with other bells and whistles, fried like Ankara.
OP, thank you for bringing back wonderful memories.

Mon nu ==== it is made from egusi, it will be firstly dried before ground like you do to bean in making Olele.

Sapala === This is also inform of moin, moin or Olele, but is made of corn 🌽 or agbado.

I think Mon nu is a variation of Olele, yes, it includes egusi and ewa with other moi moi ingredients. Instead of using palm or ground nut oil. The oil in the egusi lubricate the beans.

You are right. There are luxury EDPs and dupes. The dupes are not fakes, but they are inspired by the luxury EDP. If that makes sense. First pictures are the luxury aventus while second picture gives you the dupes
If you can lay your hand on Number 9 by Victor, you have a good edp, almost like the luxury aventus. The magic is owning both aventus and Number 9 and interchange usage based on the outing. grin

They have original ones and fake ones, it depends on where you buy and how much you buy.

You can not go to market with #2000 to buy original long lasting eau de parfum.
There is a product for every price.

How many Nigerian men can afford to buy ordinary Gucci black eau de parfum of #75,000, which I think is among the cheapest original products, talk more of original Adventus creed eau de parfum of #420,000?

So, the problem is from both the sellers and the buyers but the buyers determine it more because they want a Hennessy with the budget of Maltina.

You are right. There are luxury EDPs and dupes. The dupes are not fakes, but they are inspired by the luxury EDP. If that makes sense. First pictures are the luxury aventus while second picture gives you the dupes

Another downsides is we have very few Gas stations. The only one I know in the Southwest is the one adjacent to MFM on Lagos-Ibadan Expressway.
We need more filling stations.
