Yet for some sick, crazy, reason, an incident of this magnitude was not reported in any major newspaper?!! Or at least I couldn't find any evidence of it online. Sickening...I wonder which untouchable VIP is implicated in the incident that warrants this deafening silence from the worthless media houses...

Chinese folks are laundering money in Canada. Its an open secret and the Canadians are in bed with them.

Real estate is the #1 contributor to the Canadian gdp

And for those who don't believe him, go and read it yourselves, maybe you'll be convinced then: https://www.occrp.org/en/daily/11760-canada-real-estate-firms-violate-anti-money-laundering-rules

Stop looking down on people and their profession especially in this canada,i had to log in to respond to you...honestly i am worth over a million Canadian dollars and yet do call centre jobs,do you know why?i just want to get the Canadian experience and move to my field,its the same thing that applies to so many people u see,when you talk to alot of people doing this job you would find out how rich or educated they are,i know bosses back home in nigeria,branch managers,groupheads etc that are here doing callcentres but do u know what?its temporary they always breakthrough.So out of curiosity when u see a black cleaner again chat with him up and find out his background,who knows you might even be able to find a postion for him in your company....enjoy

You have a million Canadian dollars and you are doing call centre jobs? And people believe this? Wow....My only advice to people using this thread to obtain information about Canada is to make google your friend. There are too many lies and half-truths about the reality of life in Canada on this thread. If someone makes an assertion about Canada, go and do your own research on google. It's all the lies and half-truths that ensure new immigrants to Canada face the bitter reality after landing, sooner or later.

teacherbim:
Do you think this is about him defending the government?I know our government are mad but same thing happened in my area yesterday, they burnt police station and they started looting shops because I stay in a storey building, an aged woman selling tomatoes was stranded and they beat the woman and collected her purse that was tied to her waist,it's soo bad,I couldn't sleep yesterday,I was so scared that they would start entering houses but thank God it's a little bit calm now but truth be told some Nigeria youth are heartless and not different from Sars.

And how do you know these so-called thugs were not deployed by the government, afterall they've done it before?

Kenplay:
How much was seun paid to turn Nairaland to defend the government since last night

Good question....I personally think he has always been their agent based on a number things I've observed on this medium....

RuddyFusion:
But he died via this unrest?.....the initia post I read about his death never said he died at Lekki.....

The Government agents are on overdrive to make the whole thing ...the deaths , the killings and the destruction looks the fault of the protesters or that the killings never never happened....IT IS WELL

But I have one prayer for those who tries to cover the killings.....may it be their lot too

Well said, that has always been the modus operandi during such protests all over the world. It is a tactic deployed to make people lose sympathy for protesters by those in power. Who nows, maybe this brother was coerced by government agents to come out with this story.....

myBraine:
Typical Nigerian mentality.

Can't an accomplished politician prosper in peace again?

A man that singlehandedly built Lagos from scratch doesn't deserve to own a mansion. Now I know how backward people's reasoning are in this part of the world.

Accomplished politician? What exactly does that mean? How exactly did he earn the mony he used to build this mansion? And exactly how did he build Lagos from scratch?! Just mention 3 of his accomplishments as governor of Lagos. You're just a paid shill and sycophant! It's people like and all those that liked you sycophantic post that are a huge part of the problems of that state and country....sickening.

Veezy4u:
FG wants ASUU to call off so that protests will calm down. I've always been on the view that revolution is the way forward in this country. What will it take for citizens to shut down the country and demand for a better Nigeria and get Nigeria working again? It's high time we take the bull by the horn. Of what use is the labour of our heroes? Say no to tribalism! No to injustice! No to corruption! No to insecurity! No to under-employment! No to it's who you know.....! No to poverty! No to looting! And say yes to progress! Yes to development! Yes to a better Nigeria!
Heaven help those who help themselves.
God help us in this country

Well said! However, I think our people are a bunch of cowards for the most part, with a messiah mentality to boot....smh

careytommy37:
So she finally pledge loyalty to the global cabal

Exactly, yet look at the clueless, brainwashed sheeple here congratulating her...Wasn't she the Finance minister under Goodluck when so much money was stolen under her watch? It's amazing how Nigerians easily forget these things and are so easily taken in by Africans with degrees from elite western universities, forgetting that, to quote a YouTube commenter; "....having a 1,000 degrees just means you are a good follower. You agreed to lies that are taught and fully accept them and are now capable of spreading them."

donstan18:
If we are to execute all corrupt elements in Nigeria, nobody will survive it.

We only condemn corruption when it doesn't Favour us. Simple!!

Speak for yourself! You're obviously one of the millions of corrupt Nigerians...smh

IMO01:
Sharp

I didn't really understand the write up but if it's in the interest of Nigerians then they should go ahead.

I watched a video of audu ogbeh explaining how Nigeria began to fall from the 80's. He said some American professor from havard came to Nigeria to convince Nigerian government to devalue our currency that it was in our best interest to do that. Since then every year they force Nigeria to devalue our currency and increase interest rate. These nation's want Nigeria to fail for their own selfish gain yet nobody talk about the scam America scam on African nations

They can't because the US controls the narrative and as such, this fact is not apparent. Even if it were apparent, Africans have been completely brainwashed by the west such that they look to them for guidance forgetting that they have never and will probably never had good intentions toward us.

The World Health Organization and a number of national governments have changed their Covid-19 policies and treatments on the basis of flawed data from a little-known US healthcare analytics company, also calling into question the integrity of key studies published in some of the world’s most prestigious medical journals.

A Guardian investigation can reveal the US-based company Surgisphere, whose handful of employees appear to include a science fiction writer and an adult-content model, has provided data for multiple studies on Covid-19 co-authored by its chief executive, but has so far failed to adequately explain its data or methodology.

Data it claims to have legitimately obtained from more than a thousand hospitals worldwide formed the basis of scientific articles that have led to changes in Covid-19 treatment policies in Latin American countries. It was also behind a decision by the WHO and research institutes around the world to halt trials of the controversial drug hydroxychloroquine. On Wednesday, the WHO announced those trials would now resume.

Two of the world’s leading medical journals – the Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine – published studies based on Surgisphere data. The studies were co-authored by the firm’s chief executive, Sapan Desai.

Late on Tuesday, after being approached by the Guardian, the Lancet released an “expression of concern” about its published study. The New England Journal of Medicine has also issued a similar notice.

An independent audit of the provenance and validity of the data has now been commissioned by the authors not affiliated with Surgisphere because of “concerns that have been raised about the reliability of the database”.

The Guardian’s investigation has found:

A search of publicly available material suggests several of Surgisphere’s employees have little or no data or scientific background. An employee listed as a science editor appears to be a science fiction author and fantasy artist whose professional profile suggests writing is her fulltime job. Another employee listed as a marketing executive is an adult model and events hostess, who also acts in videos for organisations.

The company’s LinkedIn page has fewer than 100 followers and last week listed just six employees. This was changed to three employees as of Wednesday.

While Surgisphere claims to run one of the largest and fastest hospital databases in the world, it has almost no online presence. Its Twitter handle has fewer than 170 followers, with no posts between October 2017 and March 2020.

Until Monday, the “get in touch” link on Surgisphere’s homepage redirected to a WordPress template for a cryptocurrency website, raising questions about how hospitals could easily contact the company to join its database.

Desai has been named in three medical malpractice suits, unrelated to the Surgisphere database. In an interview with the Scientist, Desai previously described the allegations as “unfounded”.

In 2008, Desai launched a crowdfunding campaign on the website Indiegogo promoting a wearable “next generation human augmentation device that can help you achieve what you never thought was possible”. The device never came to fruition.

Desai’s Wikipedia page has been deleted following questions about Surgisphere and his history, first raised in 2010.

At a press conference on Wednesday, the WHO announced it would resume its global trial of hydroxychloroquine, after its data safety monitoring committee found there was no increased risk of death for Covid patients taking it.

The WHO director general, Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said that all parts of the Solidarity trial, which is investigating a number of potential drug treatments, would go ahead. So far, more than 3,500 patients have been recruited to the trial in 35 countries.

“On the basis of the available mortality data, the members of the committee recommended that there are no reasons to modify the trial protocol,” said Tedros. “The executive group received this recommendation and endorsed continuation of all arms of the Solidarity trial, including hydroxychloroquine.”
Doubts over Lancet study

Questions surrounding Surgisphere have been growing in the medical community for the past few weeks.

On 22 May the Lancet published a blockbuster peer-reviewed study which found the antimalarial drug hydroxychloroquine, which has been promoted by Donald Trump, was associated with a higher mortality rate in Covid-19 patients and increased heart problems.

Trump, much to the dismay of the scientific community, had publicly touted hydroxychloroquine as a “wonder drug” despite no evidence of its efficacy for treating Covid-19.

The Lancet study, which listed Desai as one of the co-authors, claimed to have analysed Surgisphere data collected from nearly 96,000 patients with Covid-19, admitted to 671 hospitals from their database of 1,200 hospitals around the world, who received hydroxychloroquine alone or in combination with antibiotics.

The negative findings made global news and prompted the WHO to halt the hydroxychloroquine arm of its global trials.
But only days later Guardian Australia revealed glaring errors in the Australian data included in the study. The study said researchers gained access to data through Surgisphere from five hospitals, recording 600 Australian Covid-19 patients and 73 Australian deaths as of 21 April.

But data from Johns Hopkins University shows only 67 deaths from Covid-19 had been recorded in Australia by 21 April. The number did not rise to 73 until 23 April. Desai said one Asian hospital had accidentally been included in the Australian data, leading to an overestimate of cases there. The Lancet published a small retraction related to the Australian findings after the Guardian’s story, its only amendment to the study so far.

The Guardian has since contacted five hospitals in Melbourne and two in Sydney, whose cooperation would have been essential for the Australian patient numbers in the database to be reached. All denied any role in such a database, and said they had never heard of Surgisphere. Desai did not respond to requests to comment on their statements.

Another study using the Surgisphere database, again co-authored by Desai, found the anti-parasite drug ivermectin reduced death rates in severely ill Covid-19 patients. It was published online in the Social Science Research Network e-library, before peer-review or publication in a medical journal, and prompted the Peruvian government to add ivermectin to its national Covid-19 therapeutic guidelines.
The New England Journal of Medicine also published a peer-reviewed Desai study based on Surgisphere data, which included data from Covid-19 patients from 169 hospitals in 11 countries in Asia, Europe and North America. It found common heart medications known as angiotensin-converting–enzyme inhibitors and angiotensin-receptor blockers were not associated with a higher risk of harm in Covid-19 patients.

On Wednesday, the NEJM and the Lancet published an expression of concern about the hydroxychloroquine study, which listed respected cardiologist Mandeep Mehra as the lead author and Desai as co-author.

Lancet editor Richard Horton told the Guardian: “Given the questions raised about the reliability of the data gathered by Surgisphere, we have today issued an Expression of Concern, pending further investigation.

“An independent data audit is currently underway and we trust that this review, which should be completed within the next week, will tell us more about the status of the findings reported in the paper by Mandeep Mehra and colleagues.”
Surgisphere ‘came out of nowhere’

One of the questions that has most baffled the scientific community is how Surgisphere, established by Desai in 2008 as a medical education company that published textbooks, became the owner of a powerful international database. That database, despite only being announced by Surgisphere recently, boasts access to data from 96,000 patients in 1,200 hospitals around the world.
When contacted by the Guardian, Desai said his company employed just 11 people. The employees listed on LinkedIn were recorded on the site as having joined Surgisphere only two months ago. Several did not appear to have a scientific or statistical background, but mention expertise in strategy, copywriting, leadership and acquisition.

Dr James Todaro, who runs MedicineUncensored, a website that publishes the results of hydroxychloroquine studies, said: “Surgisphere came out of nowhere to conduct perhaps the most influential global study in this pandemic in the matter of a few weeks.

“It doesn’t make sense,” he said. “It would require many more researchers than it claims to have for this expedient and [size] of multinational study to be possible.”

Desai told the Guardian: “Surgisphere has been in business since 2008. Our healthcare data analytics services started about the same time and have continued to grow since that time. We use a great deal of artificial intelligence and machine learning to automate this process as much as possible, which is the only way a task like this is even possible.”

It is not clear from the methodology in the studies that used Surgisphere data, or from the Surgisphere website itself, how the company was able to put in place data-sharing agreements from so many hospitals worldwide, including those with limited technology, and to reconcile different languages and coding systems, all while staying within the regulatory, data-protection and ethical rules of each country.

Desai said Surgisphere and its QuartzClinical content management system was part of a research collaboration initiated “several years ago”, though he did not specify when.
“Surgisphere serves as a data aggregator and performs data analysis on this data,” he said. “We are not responsible for the source data, thus the labor intensive task required for exporting the data from an Electronic Health Records, converting it into the format required by our data dictionary, and fully deidentifying the data is done by the healthcare partner.”

This appears to contradict the claim on the QuartzClinical website that it does all the work, and “successfully integrates your electronic health record, financial system, supply chain, and quality programs into one platform”. Desai did not explain this apparent contradiction when the Guardian put it to him.

Desai said the way Surgisphere obtained data was “always done in compliance with local laws and regulations. We never receive any protected health information or individually identifiable information.”

Peter Ellis, the chief data scientist of Nous Group, an international management consultancy that does data integration projects for government departments, expressed concern that Surgisphere database was “almost certainly a scam”.

“It is not something that any hospital could realistically do,” he said. “De-identifying is not just a matter of knocking off the patients’ names, it is a big and difficult process. I doubt hospitals even have capability to do it appropriately. It is the sort of thing national statistics agencies have whole teams working on, for years.”

“There’s no evidence online of [Surgisphere] having any analytical software earlier than a year ago. It takes months to get people to even look into joining these databases, it involves network review boards, security people, and management. It just doesn’t happen with a sign-up form and a conversation.”

None of the information from Desai’s database has yet been made public, including the names of any of the hospitals, despite the Lancet being among the many signatories to a statement on data-sharing for Covid-19 studies. The Lancet study is now disputed by 120 doctors.

When the Guardian put a detailed list of concerns to Desai about the database, the study findings and his background, he responded: “There continues to be a fundamental misunderstanding about what our system is and how it works”.

“There are also a number of inaccuracies and unrelated connections that you are trying to make with a clear bias toward attempting to discredit who we are and what we do,” he said. “We do not agree with your premise or the nature of what you have put together, and I am sad to see that what should have been a scientific discussion has been denigrated into this sort of discussion.”
‘The peak of human evolution’

An examination of Desai’s background found that the vascular surgeon has been named in three medical malpractice suits in the US, two of them filed in November 2019. In one case, a lawsuit filed by a patient, Joseph Vitagliano, accused Desai and Northwest Community Hospital in Illinois, where he worked until recently, of being “careless and negligent”, leading to permanent damage following surgery.

Northwest Community Hospital confirmed that Desai had been employed there since June 2016 but had voluntarily resigned on 10 February 2020 “for personal reasons”.

“Dr Desai’s clinical privileges with NCH were not suspended, revoked or otherwise limited by NCH,” a spokeswoman said. The hospital declined to comment on the malpractice suits. Desai said in the interview with the Scientist that he deemed any lawsuit against him to be “unfounded”.

Brigham and Women’s Hospital, the institution affiliated with the hydroxychloroquine study and its lead author, Mandeep Mehra, said in a statement: “Independent of Surgisphere, the remaining co-authors of the recent studies published in The Lancet and the New England Journal of Medicine have initiated independent reviews of the data used in both papers after learning of the concerns that have been raised about the reliability of the database”.

Mehra said he had routinely underscored the importance and value of randomised, clinical trials and that such trials were necessary before any conclusions could be reached. “I eagerly await word from the independent audits, the results of which will inform any further action,” he said.

Desai’s now-deleted Wikipedia page said he held a doctorate in law and a PhD in anatomy and cell biology, as well as his medical qualifications. A biography of Desai on a brochure for an international medical conference says he has held multiple physician leadership roles in clinical practice, and that he is “a certified lean six sigma master black belt”.

It is not the first time Desai has launched projects with ambitious claims. In 2008, he launched a crowdfunding campaign on the website indiegogo promoting a “next generation human augmentation device” called Neurodynamics Flow, which he said “can help you achieve what you never thought was possible”.

“With its sophisticated programming, optimal neural induction points, and tried and true results, Neurodynamics Flow allows you to rise to the peak of human evolution,” the description said. The device raised a few hundred dollars, and never eventuated.

Ellis, the chief data scientist of Nous Group, said it was unclear why Desai made such bold claims about his products given how likely it was that the global research community would scrutinise them.

“My first reaction is it was to draw attention to his firm, Ellis said. “But it seems really obvious that this would backfire.”

Today Prof Peter Horby, Professor of Emerging Infectious Diseases and Global Health in the Nuffield Department of Medicine, University of Oxford, said: “I welcome the statement from the Lancet, which follows a similar statement by the NEJM regarding a study by the same group on cardiovascular drugs and COVID-19.

“The very serious concerns being raised about the validity of the papers by Mehra et al need to be recognised and actioned urgently, and ought to bring about serious reflection on whether the quality of editorial and peer review during the pandemic has been adequate. Scientific publication must above all be rigorous and honest. In an emergency, these values are needed more than ever.”

breona Taylor Belatina Latinx

It’s been exactly two months and a day since police killed Breonna Taylor in her own home, but the world has just now learned about the tragedy.

As reported by The Washington Post, Louisville police officers shot Taylor, a 26-yeard old EMT who aspired to be a nurse and had no criminal record, at least eight times during an erroneous “no-knock” drug search warrant. The warrant not only didn’t include the victim’s name, but it was also issued for a home miles away that belonged to two men who were already in custody.

The victim’s family filed a lawsuit on April 27, accusing officers of “wrongful death, excessive force, and gross negligence,” and is seeking answers of why they were quick to fire more than 20 rounds of projectiles at a civilian. “Not one person has talked to me. Not one person has explained anything to me,” Tamika Palmer, Taylor’s mother, said to The Washington Post. “I want justice for her. I want them to say her name. There’s no reason Breonna should be dead at all.”

According to the lawsuit, the shooting started when the police officers forcefully tried to enter the apartment, and Taylor’s boyfriend, Kenneth Walker, a licensed gun owner, aimed and shot at the officers thinking burglars were trying to break into the residence.

As of this writing, none of the officers involved in the shoot out have been charged, but Walker was arrested and is facing charges of first-degree assault and attempted murder of a police officer, as reported by Refinery29.

The Louisville Metro Police Department spokeswoman Jessie Halladay said in a statement, “There is an ongoing public integrity investigation into this case and therefore it would be inappropriate for us to comment at this time.”

Ben Crump, attorney for Ahmaud Arbery, a South Georgia man killed while jogging by two armed white men, said that Taylor’s death was overshadowed by the pandemic headlines.

“They’re killing our sisters just like they’re killing our brothers, but for whatever reason, we have not given our sisters the same attention that we have given to Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, Stephon Clark, Terence Crutcher, Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, Eric Garner, Laquan McDonald,” Crump said.

“Breonna’s name should be known by everybody in America who said those other names, because she was in her own home, doing absolutely nothing wrong,” he said.

“She was an essential worker. She had to go to work,” Palmer said. “She didn’t have a problem with that. … To not be able to sleep in her own bed without someone busting down her door and taking her life. I was just like, ‘Make sure you wash your hands!’ Palmer said.

Trying to raise awareness about the tragedy, Taylor’s sister, Ju’Niyah Palmer, is using social media to post pictures with the hashtag #JusticeForBre.

That Nigeria still exist with the way it's being governed amazes me .

Millions of supposedly educated people are being bundled around by a few miscreants in the name of leadership, and nobody dares to put up a good and tangible resistance.

A man would even sell his land to pay for hospital Bill's or school fees for the kids. But the men here are bent on denying their 'kids' education and health care services just to purchase a land.

Whenever I read news like this, I always ponder, where is their conscience? No empathy, na tangible reasoning, nothing.

Instead of the youths to form a formidable force to retire this old folks, they are engaged in a more fruitless battle of ethnicity and religion. Here( on nairaland), you will see them defending their oppressors with every ounce of intelligence in them just to spite the other person whose idea doesn't align with theirs. And do not show any trace of being better of when entrusted with power.

Nigeria will burn. In fact, it's burning already. It's just a matter of time before that which we have decided to ignore consumes us all.

Wow, very well said!

The nation is driving into recession and some group of pot bellied men without comnon sense are thinking of how to renovate a building !

when are we ever gonna get it right ??

people are starving, no better palliative but u are busy dishing out 27Billion to renovate a building ....



las las na that building go fall press una there

nonesense !!

"when are we ever gonna get it right ??" When we realize that democracy, especially this worthless kind of democracy that has zero benefits for the common man while legitimizing impunity by the ruling class, is a complete and utter scam being indirectly imposed on us by the west so that they can continue to pillage our resources with our neo-colonial administrators (aka elected leaders) facilitating the pillaging....

I remember in 2015, when wee will say that buhari will make Jonathan look like Einstein, they told us to weep them a river, we complained and they called us wailers, then we told them that he who wails last wails loudest, I am proudly 5% but some of us are not happy that we are proved right, we all make mistakes in life but we are supposed to learn from our mistakes, but since nigerians don't learn from their mistakes, it can no longer be seen as mistakes but a pattern, the truth we must face is that whoever is coming after "buhari" will be worse than "buhari" save and quote me when it happens (that is if there will be a nigeria then) those who want to live in denial are free to do so, nigeria is headed in one direction. a train that have no brake and driver must crash.

This is how we will die... In a Nigeria filled with poverty.
Unless we revolt. They will continue to use us as rags to clean their mansions

They will continue to use our labor to feed their kids while ours grow thin and struggle later on to make a living.

It’s sad so many people sense of reasoning is religiously aligned.

If only the people knew they had all the power in their hands, if only the northerners knew religion has turn them to slaves. If only the yorubas knew that religion has destroy the unity they once had and if only the present westerners knew what was taken from them.

We won’t be the same.

We are just a nation full of cowards who are too afraid to die and too lazy to live.

Very well said...the best and truest comment on the thread by far.....smh

Sorry to digress a little, our leaders are the cause of the rise in rape cases, with the society acting as accomplice. I sat down with a lady a few days back and just at that spot I was pointing out some kinda dressing to her that even she as a woman got so furious with one. When you speak up a times people will tag you religious or say mind your business it's their body, the truth is "IS IT REALLY THEIR BODY?" . We were all made differently with various weakness not everyone can control their urge.

Let's not talk about the so-called celebrities that are yelling "say not to rape" just to trend. They post nudeb pics daily in IG, FB and others and they are so dumb to think it will just end there for some guy.


I once told a young girl (200l Uniben student) that If I become president I will jail people like olamide for his music videos and song. Her reply shocked me "brother if na so you nor go win o".. Lol, to show that they are happy with the decay, not knowing it is turning them into preys.

These women who lack self-respect who choose to dress like prostitutes and expect to get away with it are like people who leave their money in a public place and expect it not to be stolen. It is never going to happen. We should all be able to leave our precious goods anywhere because people should not steal, but that is NEVER going to happen.......Deal with it.

I can categorically tell you that unilag has the best hostel based on the Nigerian standard in this country. My hostel back then has everything including a standby generator and DStv connection to every room. Power supply in unilag is 24hrs. You can't find a unilag student going for night class with a reading lamp.

Please what year was this and which hostel was this, because one of the so called New Hall hostels that I stayed at about 27 years ago was a nightmare? The toilets, bathroom and plumbing, in general, was a disgusting disaster not fit for human habitation! In fact, most people used to go and use the toilet and have their baths every single day in other hostels. Power supply was 24 hours then too though.....

JOHNSONSOLAFUNMI:
A great news, but they still have a long way to go, before y’all scream racism, the police officer and late George were coworkers

Don’t let the media deceive you cause we are in an election year, the police officer had been reported 12 times and nothing was done under the governors and mayors, Amy klobucher, a prospective vp nominee of the Democratic Party had the chance to bring this man to book but she didn’t, but now screams racism than the bereaved George family, turning the 2 races towards each other, is their goal, their objective has been achieved, which is a police state in Minneapolis, people targeting cops and burning 3 police stations, but couldn’t stop the cop when he choked the late George to death, never knew people will rather get cheap likes and views than save a fellow human, looting of target and Walmart store, and what? And not achieving our aim to stop racism and police brutality, cause this has been hijacked by scrupulous elements, I pray he gets served and sentenced according to law, if the media calls this police brutality, It’s still acceptable but referring to this as racism is utter rubbish, cause one of the 4 police officers that held him down was an Asian

Funny how black celebrities encourage violence against police and private individuals, but won’t get involve in it...

Look beyond the lines, be factual instead of being emotional, an igbo man was killed in India 2 days ago, I didn’t see any outrage from any nigerians but will masturbate over Americans issue

I smell hypocrisy or only black American lives matters

If you mention my moniker by calling me unfounded names, I’ll curse you vigorously in my dialect, I mean it, you’re warned!

"It’s still acceptable but referring to this as racism is utter rubbish, cause one of the 4 police officers that held him down was an Asian" This statement is quite baffling; was the person killed Asian? If not, is it that Asians do not exhibit racism towards African-Americans or what? What exactly is the logic behind this statement?

You don't know how vaccines work.

By the way, I work in medicine. As part of my degree, I had to take a course in immunology.So, I have an idea of how vaccines work. They cannot sterilize anyone, or make anyone sick.

(By the way, because many Northern leaders believed in that thing in 2005, thousands of children paid the price as a result. In Nigeria)

If vaccines were 'sterilizing people'...how come Nigeria's population went from 88.9 million in 1991, the year in which we had vaccine coverage of 80% nationwide (and in 1990 it was better) to 200 million today?

Vaccine was not sterilizing people eh?

Better stop listening to conspiracy theories. Your life would be better. The fact that most people are vaccinated including you is why we don't have diseases like polio and diphtheria ravaging this country...and polio affects adults too.

What do you have to say about what is written on these links: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12346214/, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12286012/, https://www.sundayguardianlive.com/news/ethical-questions-surround-vaccine-reduce-fertility

I'm glad you said you only had an idea of how vaccines work, now go and do more research so you know.....smh

In another news, a woman called police to arrest a black for exchanging words with her and police actually came and here we have white police murdering a black man in broad day light and all they got as punishment was 'dismissal'?

Why not sentence them to prison to serve as detterent to others?

Because the the whole US so called criminal justice system is racist.....You can do more research about it on google....

This is the of reasons why some of us try to discourage some misguided youth who are bend on migrating to U.S. and Canada at all costs. Youths who are ready to trade thier freedom in Nigeria to slavery and humiliation in these foreign countries in the name of there is no 24/7 electricity, no healthcare, no good roads, no good education and all excuses in the world to escape their responsibilities to their people. And most of them don't pay any taxes to the government.
Ask the generation that left Nigeria in the 70s 80s 90s 2000s, they are still going through the same humiliation and slavery that you are witnessing in the media today.
These Nigerians are stocked over there and lack resources to relocate back to Nigeria. These white people are evil to the highest order, please take it from someone that have spent 35years in U.S. before relocating back to Nigeria.

Well said...Unfortunately, due to centuries of physical,mental, emotional, psychological, and cultural l subjugation via slavery and colonization (some of which continues till date ), we've been brought up to think "white" people and everything about or that emanates from them is the ultimate symbol of success or civilized behaviour. Hence, most people that go and live abroad feel that singular act (of living abroad) suddenly makes them better than those at home. Most these emigrants typically glamorize their experiences in these foreign countries to their compatriots, and never usually speak about all the serious, life-threatening, humiliating, soul-destroying aspects of the west.Those at home then reinforce this slavish perspective of the emigrants by regarding and treating them with much awe as they too aspire to join them one day. It's a sad state of affairs......

abbey621:


Query your ancestors for selling their people, black slavery started from Africans selling Africans then the whites simply upgraded the technique. The love of gold, the love of weapons and so on, your ancestors were some of the most greedy sons of b*tches to ever walk the earth!

Yeah, keep believing the white's stories aka his(s)tory; it must be true because the white man said so abi? SMH for mentally enslaved people like you.....

MuchAdo:
There are so many disgusting slaves in this thread.

Expatriates keep flooding Nigeria.

Returnees are seriously yearning to be back home.

Lebanese and Indians would do anything to be awarded Nigerian citizenship.

During general elections, we know those who stay glued to Channels TV like their lives depend on it.

Where I stay in Nigeria, there we could have light for days unending. Government water runs inside my house fairly regularly. There is no traffic. The roads are tarred. The streets are clean - swept everyday by dedicated sweepers. Food is cheap. Rent is fair. Education is cheap. Life is easy.

What more can I ask for

Stop judging Nigeria based on some cities.

Some places in Nigeria are far better than abroad...

I'm surprised to read this; where do you stay please?

lefulefu:
they will never install 24 hours electricity in nigeria because the ppl in the generator importation business in naija are in the corridors of power.do u want their generator business to collapse .i head the mikano generator is owned by atiku.

So true...I always wonder why they have not all been exposed by the media or government...Shows that both are in bed with such people and until that changes, the electricity situation will remain the same....

pacificom:
There is nowhere like home. Nigeria offers you favourable climate, delicious foods, fantastic entertainment, and civil liberty. It is ignorant that make my people to devote their loyalty to foreign countries where they are regarded as second class citizens over their own fatherland.

In fact, second class would have been good, Africans and people of African descent are usually at the bottom of the hierarchy in virtually every country in the world including some non-Arab African countries....smh
