yes aba is a slum and its run by the PDP. But is it a bad thing if a visionary leader stands on the soapbox of the APC and challenge the status quo in Abia just like Agbaje is doing in Lagos?

Las las all we want is a Nigeria that is working. it doesnt matter the party doing it once they are transparent and innovative then we are all good

that's all

benzion72:
They called it name and you believed it. As if American does not have her own peculiar challenges. Thank God it is sunny outside. I am not going to leave inside freezer -16 degree centigrade

your countty is a $hithole in all ramifications

There is nothing to hide or be ashamed of

it is what it is....

A $hithole

djon78:
You called him loquacious


Please Google Libya underwater reserve built by Gaddafi for Libya at the cost of billions of dollars

Libya had the best welfare in Africa and middle East before they killed him

Libya had more than 150 billion dollars in reserve talk less of the gold bar he had

Why were the West courting Gaddafi then. George Bush Jr sent condoleza rice the then Secretary of States more than twice to court his friendship

London school of economics was courting his son saif even gave the guy PhD


Gaddafi will still remain the best leader of African origin for what he did for his people.
No African leader comes close minus Nelson Mandela.
Even in Nigeria, with all the bad things and propaganda against Sani Abacha. No Nigerian leader had better, policies that touched the ordinary mans life.


Until the black man totally dissociates from colonialists, he can never move forward.

Stop talking rubbish

Sankara and Nkrumah were greater and better leaders than Gadaffi the pig

these men understood what it meant to build what is sustainable and did so

Their countries are eternally grateful (even tho they were eventually uprooted)

chosenwan1:
More intelligent Nigerians would be leaving to go work in Canada, leaving behind the simpletons to further mess up the land. The sad thing is that if Nigeria falls then Africa might follow suit.

that has been the plan all this while

Nigeria will further sink into the abyss with this mass exodus of skilled and sensible people..

The $hithole status will be upgraded

Xisnin:
Your post is irrelevant to my submission.
I reacted to a claim of Gadafi putting up a $500 billion dollar for a bank when his
country can't manufacture ordinary toothpick.

There is nothing special about Gadaffi, every country with large oil and small population
is better off than others without, regardless of the leader in charge.

Libya was never the pride of Africa any more than Saudi is the pride of the middle east.
What is there to be proud about, Oil?

no mind them

Colourich:
Overpaid? why will they protest that they are overpaid? who doesn't like to be overpaid?

they actually protested.

the wanted the gains to go all round

benzion72:
And the money needed to qualify you for a second class citizen elsewhere may be enough to make it here

there is much more to life than making money


The $hithole is not very conducive for good living

Bede2u:
naija cannot be ok...not with our individual tribal ideology. We dont have an african culture...or even a nigerian culture

and that is a big problem


our strong tribal affinity is killing Africa big time

we are meant to melt into one, but foolishness deeply embedded in the black man will not allow him to

EVILFOREST:
U want them to make you a CEO within few weeks of relocation to CANADA.
PRIDE may be your problem.
Whom do you expect to do those jobs for you...?
U want to relocate to a decent LAND and take over management, possibly carry your NIGERIA GENES to their workplaces and infiltrate them with underdevelopment abiiii

LMAO

Xisnin:
He initiated nothing.
Even China and Russia who has the military and economic resources put up such money have attempted to
do it. So it is one tiny country which can't produce its own toothpick that will make such attempt.
I don't think you know what 500 billion dollar means.

Africa remains a shithole because the citizens are easy to fool.

you have said it all jare

Africans are easy to fool


Gadaffi of all people

if we are talking of Africans that loved Africa like Nkrumah or Sankara, we can talk, but gadaffi

majekdom2:
the irony is you are predicting sports happening in another country. If I have money to buy a ticket for a football match, it means I could have excess to bet for that match. How many Nigerians pay to go see a match? The sports BET companies in Nigeria are franchise companies of companies abroad. Someway, that money is going outside the country. Whislt gambling is legal in many countries, prostitution is also one of the oldest profession you find around. We should preach morals and ethics to @ least get us developed to a stage. His point is Greed is killing innovation in Nigeria

"greed is killing innovation in Nigeria"

Words on marble

IbrahimDamola:
I concur, betting should only be done for fun.
All over the successful games turned out every is just 0.001% of bet placed in a day. So it almost impossible to eck out a decent living from betting.

See betting as entertainment and just budget N200 everyweek place on your favourite teams as entertainment fee.

true

But in naija case; they put their family problem on the betting

As opposed to making it a leisure thing

myboy2111:
South East Voters 20m..? Chai , who do this to you

voters of Igbo extraction nationwide are a sizeable number...
know that

helinues:
Internet is a bitch
How things change dramatically within 2 years.

I tell you

now he has to support Atiku

Funkeshuga:
Maybe her father molested her when she was a teen

'

that's another angle to this

kmcutez:
I support her statement o. Prevention they say is better than cure. According to most men conji is uncontrollable. All they see is the poosie. They don’t even care if it belongs to their mother.

so "Konji" would make a man drill the poosie of his three year old blood

YouareaBITCH:
It won't make sense to you
You might be normal and can't abuse ur daughter but alot of people are not normal.

why marry someone who is not normal


That is another question


the society has fallen apart too bad

YouareaBITCH:
She's being a protective mother, that's all.


Alot of girls abused by their dads, their mothers didn't see it coming.. They all trusted their men too.

Prevention they say is better than cure.



I know of a lady, that has told her little daughter to keep her distance from her uncle's room
Is not like she doesn't trust her brother,she's just acting according to recent happenings

But in all, it shouldn't be the kind of thing to be made public.

this does not make sense

IFearGod:
not the bolded, they rewired themselves to be mentally deluded with no iota of dignity...and they should move to the next lane cos I'm ain't looking at 'dem bitches.

jeez

rewired like how?

frank41:
You may not really understand...that are some families that ones you marry their daughter,you have entirely married all the problems/troubles of that family. Especially first daughter....I'm a living witness

true

koyyes:
Very beautiful woman for her age. Good thing she married an american. Being unevenly yoked with Nigerian males these days quickens the aging process by 99%.

Lucky woman.

LMAO

OkaNaUbe:
Paid BMCs like Butterflyleo are daft. If I say I am more Nigerian than you, does it mean you aren't a Nigerian?

The man is trying to play a tribal game here.

LMAO

awon ode

BMC slaves on overdrive

Biscuits:
what a forum...

what a forum indeed

IFearGod:
Lol, very far from it; they do the biddings but ain't looking at those shits that lack dignity... I'm too good to settle for less. #teamWhites

people are not bad because they are black, nor good because they are white

Have that at the back of your mind

And also know this

As I always say

naija babes are victims of their upbringing, just like every one else

IFearGod:
Oga woman wrapper, you have a big problem....what you want it's not what I want, you can settle for the riff raffs, I don't care. My choice, my life it's none of your fvcking biz! You own the hoes; take them all, it's your life. You can be suffering and be smiling; that's your cup of tea.

A naija lady must have really hurt you

But whatever it is, you need to put things into perspective

dominique:
It's convenient to heap curses on doctors and hospitals but what people don't realize is that hospitals run on money. A lot of money. If you keep expecting hospitals to treat every patient before collecting money, the hospital will shut down in no time. Our people are fond of taking advantage of goodwill. Once they realize that hospitals are treating without collecting upfront, they will troop in for free treatment even if they have the money. I remember a post someone shared here about a doctor who attended to an emergency case in the middle of the night. The patient's family pleaded that they don't have any means of getting money at that time of the night and they will pay first thing in the morning. He eventually treated the patient without them paying a kobo and went off duty afterwards. The following day, he was called while asleep that the patient and his family fled from the hospital before dawn. Not only did he pay for the treatment, he was sacked from the private hospital.

Hospitals, like every other business needs money to keep themselves afloat. Expecting them to treat every patient that comes in without collecting a dime is a recipe for disaster in an already failing healthcare system.

you have a point

akaahs:
And another reason is, most Nigerians are not to be trusted. We have heard several cases were most patients escape from hospital because they are been own by hospital management.

that's another thing
Nigerians like to exploit people....
And outsmart people

This is the result

Reference:
Tracked by who. You will need another institution and with it another bureaucratic bottleneck with its attendant challenges just to do that. I think the first thing to do is to completely commercialise health care in Nigeria so that it can attract the much required investment.

Then to liberalise health insurance by taking it away from government control completely. For the rich and educated middle class it will be a straight forward procedure. For the poor and less informed it can be organised around the various cooperative contributory schemes you find run in markets, schools, shops, etc amongst traders, students and artisans, etc.

Then if the government wants to buy equity on the service side or customer welfare side, it can but its participation should strictly be that of a regulator. This will transfer responsibility to the public and will go a long way in creating awareness on the need to live a healthy life and moderate the number of dependents or offspring a typical family has.

Right now the government at all levels serve this false claim the medicare is free in some of its hospitals for some procedures but the truth is far from that. No government in the world can cater for 180 million people free of charge. Someone has to pay.

this is a brilliant idea

But will we implement it?

theoldpretender:
I usually don't get angry here on Nairaland,but I think that this doctors and nurse abuse has gone far enough.

I used to work in one private hospital. One night a guy came with his heavily pregnant wife. Wife was having obstructed labour. Husband begged doctor to do operation : money would come later. The doctor...my oga then...did the op. Up till today, husband has not dropped a single penny.

Keep in mind that government hospitals also rely on the revenue they generate in a year....

The reason why they rejected that patient was not because of demons and fallen angels...but because far too many patients are owing bills, and when it begins to affect the perfomance of the hospital...ie in dealing with overheads,providning some essential materials....you have to make a choice.

Treat people for free and go broke...or start being firm...and save money,and jobs.

So please, stop insulting us....especially as some of us use our salary to pay for patients...without expecting reimbursment. And we have dependents and families too.

Grow up.

I think something concrete like a collateral or their BVN or some thing should be dropped
so I'm case they don't pay, They can be tracked

Leebeedo:
My brother, me I don komot oh and I use God take beg you, do everything possible to leave that hell hole called Nigeria. Even wild animals have conscience than most Nigerians and it's not their fault, the suffering is just too much.

theoldpretender:
The truth is, we need trillions of naira to guarantee good health care.

And before you insult the health workers, the problem is most hospitals are broke from treating patients free of charge. People come to hospital, get free treatment, and run away without paying .affects both private and public hospitals

Then there is the fact of late presentation. I do not know the child history, but it is possible the child would have died even if oxygen had been put on because it is too late.

And before anyone calls us health workers heartless.,some of us dip into our pockets and pay for these type of patients. I know. I used to be one of those medical staff who did that, and when it starts telling on your pocket....

the system as a whole is terrible
