Point of correction, Lebanon is not Arab.

Same as Iran is not Arab.

I will increase the capacity of our prisons to accommodate as many Nigerians as possible.

This is because the majority of Nigerians have resolved that they will never let go of corruption.

“They started fighting about tribe. I am not certain about this but I think the reason he (GTB) is fighting is because of tribe. I don’t know exactly what his problem is.

Mr Innocent Chukwuma, you are the one who has always given this case between a bank and a single customer, the tribal inclination you have just reiterated again.

Are you not the same person who while being arrested by the police concerning the associated matter of document forgery levelled by GT Bank, that your wife exclaimed that "is it because we are Igbo?"

Or do we easily forget the tribal attack your PR people waged against GTBank with the plan for all Igbos to close their accounts with a Yoruba bank?

Face your case with the bank. It does not concern any tribe, except of course, the clanish by nature cannot now resort to republicanism.

Maybe he did nothing for her after publicly requesting that she meet with him, after her grace to grass story broke earlier in the year.

true2god:
What this man did is wrong however Donald Trump was rigged out of power. The rigging was so clear and even uncoordinated.

You need rehabilitation from your delusion and Trump induced zombism.

I would have called it nepotism, but I see it as having an eye that can be trusted, considering the function of that office to the success of the development strides/programmes of the Governor.

John F Kennedy appointed his own brother as Attorney General of the US, on the firm command of his father, who wanted to ensure that his son was making the right decisions and also protected by the social conviction and smarts of the younger Robert F Kennedy.

I reckon Avuru will take over.

Shebah + Platform = Seplat.

Shebah has had his turn, time for Platform to have his.

Rather tell us why you did not implement the report.

So he made his money through deceiving people to buy Yaba bend down select?

Why would I want him to deceive me now with Lagos shirts claimed to be London?

I see nothing to applaud in deception.

alphaNomega:
What school did you attend and what was your course of study?

How many Nigerians do you know earn N1m monthly and want to bypass their electric meters?

Oboy eee!

Dem plenty.

Nigerians are fantastically corrupt.

If you know how hard it is for those earning over N1m to pay security guard or house maid more than N30k monthly salary. That is a robust topic itself.

As for my discipline, all are in Engineering. I will withhold information on my institutions.

Theunbothered:
I am resisting the urge to insult you right now but let me just say this.

Serving your fatherland isn't slavery, pay doctors and they won't leave, it is that simple.

If all the doctors leave who do you think will suffer, us or them?

These foolish politicians run abroad whenever they get simple ear ache while poverty stricken supporters on nairaland will support them when they don't even have a primary health care center in their local government.

Stop thinking like a primary school child.



You just wrote a wall of nonsense.

Will you work for 6 months without salary?

My tuition cost millions and you want me to work for uncertain chicken change.

Who do you think will suffer if all the professionals leave because idiots want to force them to work in a broken system?

Dude I understand your point, but have you also considered that the system too is broken abroad, where high cost of education has made academic training prohibitive to their own citizens who refuse to indebt themselves, hence they depend on cheaply trained doctors from Africa who are too happy to get such pay without the baggage of student debts?

There are a few winners in this matter who take the benefit of both Nigeria (cheap education) and abroad (better pay), but there are losers both in Nigeria and abroad.

But the consumer abroad enjoys the benefit if they are ready to pay for the service.

kowalsky:
Pointing out EXACTLY who you are - a bumbling fart-inhaling fool - doesn't mean I'm uncivilized. Or is civility measured by how much I'm able to tolerate your despicable self?

Of course you don't contribute to my suffering. But that's not what this conversation is about. I'm just trying to let you know you're an idiot. That's substantiated by the foolish conjectures you posited as truth/fact in your earlier post.

It sure does. And I'll use it to the fullest idiot.

Congratulations!

You have won yourself the award of "who has the most swear words".

A competition for the gutters.

kowalsky:
Schooling in England or Scotland doesn't mean you are not an ignorant priccc.

What I said in my first response describes why you're an ignorant fool. And your attempt to use foreign education as a screen for your ignorance demonstrates your foolishness even further.

Calling you foolish right now is an understatement. You're a blissful idiot.

I would like to think this is how communication is done by those who are not ignorant?

Like an uncivilised barbarian?

You are truly a product of Nigeria that remains unrefined, despite your best efforts, it follows you like smoke that cannot be hidden.

I restate, I never contributed to your sufferings and frustrations in life.

Like I already opined, the anonymity of the Internet provides bliss.

kowalsky:
No one is arguing with you. I'm only letting you know you're an ignorant fool.

I am sure you enjoyed free education while I paid quality Pounds Sterlings from my own sweat to get my education from Universities in England and Scotland.

Yet, I'm the ignorant one?

The anonymity of the Internet is bliss.

Mason360:
That's where you're wrong. My problem with you is the unequal comparison you are subjecting Nigeria to. So you expect Nigerian students to obtain student loans like other countries. For what exactly. What are the loans justifying? Our sub par archaic educational system?, our non existent facilities?, Have you gone to our medical schools? Have you gone to teaching hospitals? So what should they be taking loans for. We already know we are in high shortage of medical personnels so Nigeria as a whole can't afford to unsubsidize medical education because then only wealthy folks would attend medical school which would further deepen the deficiency we already have. Abroad they already have systems in place that demands student loans. Functional healthcare systems an facilities, fully equipped medical colleges. These costs money so student loans are a must to see them through. Jobs with great renumeration waiting immediately they are done. Welfare packages etc. Please you and your minister should should take your biased out of touch mindset to the sewers. Face Nigeria's reality and fix our whole healthcare/ educational system because if you think that this declaration would stop the Exodus, you are jonzing.

Dude, the only reason students abroad subject themselves to student loans is the reward they intend to obtain from the qualification, despite not being able to afford the cost.

So while Nigeria cannot even grant student loans, the government would rather bond those who require free education.

If the Nigerian would stay put in Nigeria, to earn cheaply from cheap education, there would be no need for such bond.



You and Ngige are still saying the same thing, even though you think you disagree.

kowalsky:
I'm not hyperventilating. Just letting you know you're a misinformed and daft child of hate.

Your type should only be arguing at beer parlours where bottles are thrown freely.

Stop being a child of hate and mediocrity. Stop being a fool who dances to the whimsical tunes of crass politicians. Stop being a daft, easily manipulated bastard.

I am too civilised to engage you inside the gutters, considering that I am not remotely responsible for your life frustrations.

kowalsky:
Lol. Typical Nigerian with warped sense of reasoning and poverty induced mental slavery.
Contrary to that misinformed minister's claim. Nigeria is not the only country where education is free. Germany. Sweden. Finland to mention but a few offer free education to their citizens up to the post graduate level.

America is not the only the developed nation out there. And even then you can't compare the quality of education at an American University to the piss poor, overly cramped, one microscope to 50 students campuses we have in Nigeria.

And no, the child of a Janitor is not cursed to follow in his father's footsteps because unlike you bastards in this country who subjugate uneducated workers, Janitors in America probably earn more than your father and his neutered kin have ever made in their lives. I'm not even kidding https://www.indeed.com/career/janitor/salaries

Stop being a child of hate and mediocrity. Stop being a fool who dances to the whimsical tunes of crass politicians. Stop being a daft, easily manipulated bastard.

When you are done hyperventilating, you would realise that whoever wants cheap education and cheap service delivery, should never complain about poor remuneration.

I work in the Oil industry having previously worked in Telecoms.

I know what the likes of cheap Huawei did to the service industry in Telecoms, by providing the telecom operators cheaper services that resulted to poorer staff welfare, and for their competitors like Ericsson, Siemens, Alcatel-Lucent etc to stay afloat, they also had to overhaul their staff compensation strategies.

Same thing cheap Indians and Chinese are already doing to the Oil industry.

Lastly, are you ready to adjust to the tax rate of the Scandinavian countries you have so glowing mentioned that offer free education up to the tertiary level?

A Nigerian earning more than N1m monthly is still bypassing his electric power meter so he can get to pay N10k monthly, while his actual bill should have been N30K which is still very affordable.

Ade3131:
I partly agree with you but we're still not addressing the root cause of the problem. Why are these people leaving their country of nationality/origin?

When last did your president receive treatment in Nigeria? How many state governors receive medical treatment in their state?

How many top public officials use the public hospitals?

Why is this trend okay while we frown at underpaid and underappreciated doctors wanting to leave the country to go and work at those hospitals where our politicians patronize?

If there's gonna be a bond on medical practitioners to serve for 9 years before leaving, then past and present public servants must be denied the right to leave the country for medical tourism. Anyone of them who broke the law should be heavily sanctioned with huge fine and jail term.

I am sure I suffer as much as every other Nigerian regarding the shortcomings of our successive governments.

Iike I opined, it is not just a medical sector issue. It is prevalent across all industries in Nigeria.

We continually lose our human resources that are cheaply trained, to societies who have made education very expensive but with good rewards.

Ask yourself why that Doctor or Engineer dit not struggle to be admitted to Imperial college or MIT, but was instead satisfied with the affordable education at Unilag where yearly tuition is not up to $100. Yet that same Unilag graduate wants a $100,000 salary in the US where his colleagues are still paying the student loan for the same medical or engineering degree that got them the job.


If any Nigerian considers himself deserving of the better pay abroad, he/she should also ensure that the qualifying degree was obtained at the cost required for such abroad.

oldtruth:
Wow! So, what is your point? Are you saying Nigeria is better?

You honestly why some Nigerians are like this? Someone who sat down in his stupid cubicle and be writing epistle of RUBBISH.

How many children of a janitor do you see that are out of school in a sne clime like the US?

Yes, they collect loan for schooling and that is a very good way to ease the parents but that doesn't mean they can't afford it. It all depends where the child wants to school.

Yes, there are heless people globally but in most cases in a sane clime, it is hardly poverty. It might be drug abuse, illegal immigration and the rest.

Comparing a saner clime education system to this country makes you sound somehow.

I am saying in Nigeria you can be poor and still afford to go to the university and graduate debt free without any form of scholarship.

I am also saying the societies we lose these set of Nigerians to, have their own citizens continue to pay student loans from the same salary we enjoy with them, having acquired our own qualifications in Nigeria without such debts.

Those 2 statesments above are facts devoid of emotions.

Those who have so benefited from the merits of the cheap education in the Nigerian system without the demerits of poor pay, while still benefitting from the merits of good job pay abroad without the demerits of very expensive qualifying education, are the winners while the losers are those who do not navigate across the 2 existing systems at the right entry points.

I partly agree.

Nigeria has become a training ground for professionals who would benefit other foreign societies.

This is not just about Doctors but all professionals in Nigeria.

We are mostly trained for "free" in Nigeria, then owing to the poor remuneration in the country, many who are already gainfully employed here resign to go take up job offers abroad, without having to take student loans like their peers abroad who are still paying back from their salaries.

We work with them in their Google, or Microsoft, or Apple offices, in their law firms and hospitals, unknown to us that the salary we enjoy, they use to offset the student loans that got them the degree.

We just earn the same salary as them in their country, and have no student loan to worry about.

In Nigeria, you can be the child of a cleaner/janitor and pass through university with a lot of discomfort, but without owing a penny by the time of graduation. Abroad, the child of a janitor without a scholarship (academic or sport), is only in the university doing similar janitorial work.

Why the apology?

If I had the opportunity to meet Buhari or Osinbajo, I will go with trailer loads of records of government incompetence and also solutions to those incompetence.

I will rather avail myself the opportunity of directly making my opinion known to them, than protesting or lamenting aimlessly on social media.

Dartilo:
How about the no election in Anambra...

How is the voter turn out goin to be?
Today we would know if the general populace are in total support for ipob or ipob are just simply forcing themselves on the people

You mean the same general populace that has already been subjugated with terrorism by IPOB?

Why is IPOB concerned about a particular political party and trying to de-market it in favour of another political party?

Is Emma Powerless now the spokesman of a political party participating in the Anambra election?

PrinceOfLagos:
Now I believe that Osibanjo truly own the collapsed building

You remind us why the black man has refused to progress in civilization and logic.

Your education is a waste.

Penguin2:
Just the way they had hoped we would be pressuring PDP for presidential ticket but they’ve seen we don’t even care if we don’t get VP ticket as long as no Yoruba gets into that place.

You mean the Igbos have no purpose or ambition of their own? How pathetic.

How miserable it must be for you, whose only ambition in life is to play catch up with the Yorubas.

Your kids will surely inherit your anti-Yoruba obsession as their sole purpose in life.

Shameless clansman.

Emergingnation:
Lol !! What you unity beggars fail understand is that kanu's detention is a plus to our struggling..... The more he is being detain, the more united we becomes for the struggle, and the more international attentions will be drawn..


The slaughtering aspect... I hope this dead fulani terrorist is IPOB.... IPOB remain non violence organization no matter the propaganda being carried against them.

Was it Fulani that killed Udala or Akunyili, or burnt down the house of the rich man who was tagged a saboteur?

Was it Fulani that destroyed the goods of women who dared to display their wares when the almighty terrorist IPOB had declared a sit at home?

Was it Fulani who shot a man in the leg for daring to disregard the terror called IPOB?

The non violent IPOB only fool themselves like you. The evidence of their terrorism abound.

These people are clowns.

A terrorist group dictating what happens in the lives of free born men.

The cowardice and subjugation in the SouthEast is repulsive.

Emergingnation:
Lol !! Says Cowardic Afonja that have abandoned Sunday Igboho, their supposed Freedom fighter, who is diagnosed with severe kidney failures in Benin prison.....

Afonja are in great pained and envious due to the unity among Igbo's in ralling around kanu's release and the quest for secession, which can never happen in their betraying and backstabbing tribe....

Kanu will come stronger with Biafra flag in his hand

He will come stronger with Biafra flag?

And you think on that reminder of the kind of terrorists he is, the government will proceed to release him because his supporters are slaughtering the moderate Hutus among the Igbos?

Your delusions are fully emerged.

adamsmith914:
They are already begging, Yet the Federal Government hasn’t even finished filing charges against the separatist?

I know that my children will grow old reading about the terrorist Nigeria captured from Kenya and how he is still paying for his crimes in prison.

adamsmith914:
What concerns me with Igboho? Henry Okah of Mend is locked up in a South African prison on the request of Jonathan 8 years & counting, do you hear the Niger Deltans wailing upandan? Kanu claims he is fighting for freedom, let him spend at least 10 years in prison, you do the agitation, you must do the time.

No crime with agitation if it is within your right to demand for it. But a single individual forcing himself as the leader of a people who have already freely exercised their right of franchise to democratically and constitutionally elect leaders, should not be allowed to rest in peace being a terrorist.

ajumma:
If you think Buhari went as far as somewhere 'Kenya' to fetch your hunchback albino porn star supreme leader to come and face his trial but only to release him so soon, then you should prepare for heart break.

They think the government has forgotten how the rabid animal did not honour the terms of his bail, while even causing more upheaval in the country, before he ran for his dear life while calling on Igbo youths to come and face the army him and his parents had already escaped from.

Kanu is a closed case. He will spend the rest of his life chained to the floor, while he continues to humbly beg for human rights that his supporters have never accorded anyone who do not submit to the dictates of their terrorism.

Fahdiga:
Releasing Kanu will help stabilize Nigeria but the FG doesn't know that

When he was free on bail and setting up BSS when he is not a government and also promising his followers Buhari's head, or as a fugitive of the law giving instructions on where and who to destroy and kill during the legitimate End SARS protest, was that Kanu's way of stabilizing the zoo he wanted to burn down?

Tribal sentiments aside, Kanu is a rabid animal that needs to be put down to spare the loss of useful Igbos like Dr Chike Akunyili.

Kanu's destiny is to inflict sorrow on the Igbos. Woe betide him forever.
