EducationRe: NELFUND Explains Why South-east Is "Exempted" From Student Loan by whirlwind7(m): 7:36am On Aug 24, 2024
CyrusVI:
Thats the issues i always have with you people

The commission in charge says one thing, none of the Uni in the SE has come out to debunk it, but somehow you feel your personal assumption in your own mind should be used to challenge a "stated fact for now"?


How does this even sound?

If no Uni form the SE has come out to debunk this, isnt it more sane to assume these guys are stating the truth?

Like say all the people wey dey work with the NELFUND na even Non-Igbos

Rest and keep your Owerri logic to your whatsapp group
You are 100% right.
This should be the line of thought we should toe in this case.

However...

Nigeria has made all of us victims.
Only the wrong thing happen here, mostly.
We have been exposed to, and moulded by the bizarreness and abnormal entity called Nigeria, so it is hard to take a neutral or sane position when situations like this happen.

What's more scary is, it often turns out that those who have taken the default position of never trusting the words of government agencies turn out to be correct most of the time.

Sigh!

No African country has ever experienced such in modern times.
You're right.
We have better incidents here.

We got terror groups kidnapping bus loads of travellers, or hundreds of school kids. Many of the victims end up raped, butchered and sold for organ trafficking or as sëx släves.
We got suicide bombers detonating their IEDs in crowded places like markets and bus parks.

A lone individual attacking and stabbing people is a kindergarten move, and we are scared of that!

Did you lease the land, or is it outright purchase?

HealthRe: Please Help Me. My Daughter Eyes Are Misaligned. Can It Be Cured? by whirlwind7(m): 2:25pm On Aug 09, 2024
OKOATA:
It's called Exotropia. Cover the good eye with a pirate patch. The one Ruger the musical artist use, leave the nonaligned one eye to function. Do it like every 2hrs for the day and the non-aligned eye will realign till it's ok. Do it consistently and you will see changes.

*Covering the good eye forces the brain to rely on the weak eye, which can help improve its vision and alignment. This is a common technique used in vision therapy to treat Exotropia and other eye alignment issues.

So the best time to start is now because if she reaches 10yrs old it might be difficult. It's best from ages of 5-10yrs. Thanks.
Thanks for that tip.

However, depending on the direction of deviation (she didn't mention) it could be either exotropia (outwards) or esotropia (inwards)

Patching alone can't solve the problem. Correcting the refractive error of the deviating eye via glasses MUST be done as well.
HealthRe: Please Help Me. My Daughter Eyes Are Misaligned. Can It Be Cured? by whirlwind7(m): 2:14pm On Aug 09, 2024
Gift150:
This is a big relief to me. I'll try this out. Thank you
That advice by OKOATA is the best (non surgical) you might try at this time.
However, IT WILL NOT BE ENOUGH!

Reason?
Because she is 7 years old already.
At this age, most deviations are nearly permanent if untreated.

Now, as someone who is experienced on this, here's what you need to do ASAP: take her to an eye clinic.
Request that a CYCLOPLEGIC REFRACTION be done on her.
It is a process where a certain eyedrop (1% cyclopentolate) is applied to both eyes, and then a test for glasses is done after about 30 to 40 minutes after 3 doses of the eyedrop has been applied to her eyes.
This will give the result of the glasses she will need to use.
After about 3 or more days later, the effect of the eye drops (blurred vision) will have worn out, and you take the child back to the eye clinic for a post-cycloplegic test.

A good optometrist knows how to handle this. Your child will be prescribed the glasses that gives the best correction for her eyes, and she MUST wear the glasses everyday.
You also need to patch or cover the good eye about 2 hours everyday (A MUST!!!) so that the weak and deviated eye will be forced to work harder and become straight.

I must also say your hubby is careless and/or ignorant. He had same issue, and should have at least researched the cause of it. The moment it was noticed on your child, he would have sought for medical intervention immediately.

What causes it is that one eye (the deviated one) is weak and does not see as good as the other eye. Because it is not properly aligned, it causes double vision. In other to see better, your child subconsciously suppresses it. As time goes by, the eye gets weaker and becomes redundant...and gets more deviated.


Wish you and your child the best 🙏

This, just for a piece of land without basic facilities.
Not central sewage, not pipe borne water, not an assurance of stable electricity...

Why wouldn't many resort to crime there?

I know the blame isn't on the real estate coy trying to sell. The blame is on a country without direction, or foundation or a bankable future.

Meanwhile, the term "free from govt acquisition" has lost every meaning in Naija, especially in Lagos.

That is a huge difference.
Once you move out from where you are living, dump your mattress, sofa, other furnitures that bedbugs hide in, and get new stuff for your new apartment, you've most probably gotten rid of bedbugs.

As for mosquitoes?
They are no respecter of persons or status.

Saturnalia:
First of all, you’re an illiterate.

You wrote $59,490,710 which is Fifty Nine Million, Four Hundred And Ninety Thousand, Seven Hundred And Ten Dollars.

Do you know the meaning of the amount of money you wrote up there?

To explain it gently to you, so that your Akpu & Ogbono Soup fermented brain can assimilate it;

$10,000,000 (Ten Million Dollars) = Approximately 16 Billion Naira.

Now, 59,490,710 (Fifty Nine Million Dollars - which you wrote up there) = 96 Billion Naira.

This is my problem with you people from that region. Like your fellow fraudulent & criminally-minded cohorts at the Nairaland Auto & Property Sections; majority of you no get sense.

You will just slam an outrageous & unrealistic price tag on an “Accidented or Flooded Vehicle” or “Buildings built with substandard materials that are certainly going to collapse within 3 years max” and expect sensible & reasonable Patriots (Like Myself) to patronize you?

Even this useless Property that is being advertised on this thread, Nobody - I repeat, Nobody will buy it for “9 Billion Naira - which is what the dumb marketer is trying to write”.

You build properties with fake & substandard materials and then when they collapse; in your self denial & delusion, you shout DANGOTE CEMENT!

Even if you build your properties with foreign Cement & materials; those properties will still collapse.

My point is - I will rather buy my properties or vehicles from an Hausa/Fulani or my Tribesmen (of course after conducting my due diligence) than to patronize any good-for-nothing hateful & unpatriotic elements, whose only motivation and source of happiness is to bring down others and celebrate their misfortunes.

Laspotect247:
Wake Up, Southeast Nigeria: Silence Isn't Golden When the Country is Sinking

Since the protests began, I've been down in Southeast Nigeria, working and keeping a close eye on the deafening silence from the region.

During a chat with one of the traders, he nonchalantly remarked that the rising cost of commodities didn't bother him—he simply sold at the price he bought. I didn't find that comment amusing at all; it was like watching someone proudly declare they had no idea how basic economics worked. So, I threw in a curveball: "Can you compare the level of patronage?" He went silent, probably regretting his earlier confidence.

Our country is like a sinking ship, and it's going to take all hands on deck to keep it afloat. Whether we like it or not, we're all under the same Nigerian umbrella, and any policy made affects each of us. Demanding a better Nigeria is a cause that excludes no one.

Hats off to those in the Southwest, South, and North who are protesting. Many of them voted for Tinubu, and I'm glad they're now willing to hold him accountable instead of blindly cheering his useless policies.

But to my friends in the Southeast: now is not the time to stay silent. Even if the average South Easterner dreams of Biafra, the leaders representing this region have sold out, making the APC more popular here than anywhere else in the South. In their power quest, Southeast leaders are flocking to the APC en masse.

I urge everyone, regardless of tribe, language, or religion, to come out and demand a better Nigeria. There's a lot at stake.

It wasn't unpatriotism when, beginning from 2015, INEC disregarded the fact that Buhari has no qualification to contest for office, and allowed him anyway?
It wasn't unpatriotism that Tinubu had more baggage than Buhari, yet INEC allowed him to contest.
Tinubu was confirmed to be a certificate forger, drug dealer, into identity theft etc.

It wasn't unpatriotism when INEC shut down the IREV as election results where pouring in, and forged results in favor of Tinubu which it announced by 4am?

Since 2015, Igbos have been protesting, but the rest of you mocked us and called us every manner of unprintable names.

Alakọri talking about how no protest will hurt Igbos. Nigeria has done nothing but plot the downfall and ultimate demise of Igbos since 1960. It is nothing new to us. We will take it in our stride.

You and the rest of the country who backed Buhari and Tinubu should go and protest.
We have done ours for 9 years, since 2015. We have handed you the baton.

If people issued with authentic C of O from the Lagos state government directly can lose out at Magodo estate and the stretch of properties starting at Ojota Bus stop down to new garage that had been acquired decades ago can lost they their owners....no one is safe as far as land purchase is concerned in Lagos.
100% true.

A recent example is Landmark Resort.

With the caliber of people who owned that place (foreign investors) plus the fact that LASG had issued C of O to the property many years ago, they still demolished the place within short notice.

And some weeks later, the very silly news came that the land will not be used to construct the Lagos - Calabar coastal road anymore! 😲😲😡

Can you imagine that?

No property owner in Lagos is safe.
