I don't believe this story. So it is the NCDC who confirmed the case lieing ? |
GamalNasser:As of yesterday, parks were still fully operational. There was free movement into and out of Lagos. Lagos was not on a lockdown please. We were only trying to minimize social activities. What the president said about Abuja and Lagos, and was was already on ground are two different things. By implication, you cannot leave or come into Lagos starting today by 11pm, all offices will be closed apart from the exempted ones. Sanwo-olu only left it at the discretion of offices in the private sector, but the president gave an order. Let us not argue over this. Lagos up till now is not closed. You can go to Ogun, and anywhere until 11pm. |
Ochuksbaba:I bet we should have encountered this same criticism of he had locked Nigerian boarders at that time. Humans are just not satisfied. |
GamalNasser:Oga why are you misleading people? Which Lagos was locked down? Was people's movement in and out of Lagos restricted? Even up till now one can freely move within and out of Lagos until 11pm. Before you talk another lie, know that I am living in Lagos presently |
Ghostmode2two:I understand you as well. All hands must be on deck to manage the situation on hand the best we can. Otherwise disaster will occur, especially with our apologetic health care system. |
Fragility6:I agree with you completely on this one bro. In one of my opinions here, I said that I don't want to believe they run away. |
Fragility6:Nobody is asking them to treat a suspected case of corona at Gbagada. As a general hospital, they should simply call Yaba that they have a suspicious case of corona. Believe me, the response would have been rapid. How far is Yaba from Gbagada? The only responsible thing they should have done is to ensure the case reached appropriate center. It not all hospitals in Nigeria or any other place in the world that will treat the virus, however such hospitals have the responsibility to ensure suspected cases reached designated centers. What's it with running and shouting, it is not my portion? If all the hospitals not capable of admitting corona cases run away without ensuring such case reached IDH, how are we going to fight the virus. Let us just agree that their behavior was not professional and move on |
Ghostmode2two:I perfectly understand PPE. However, I completely disagree with their uncultured behavior. It has nothing to do with PPE but purely negligence and poor attitude to work. As health professionals, they know how covid-19 transmits. If they suspected a corona case, they didn't need to admit, neither do they need to running and madly uttering some useless phrases like we are still in stone age. They had a solemn duty to ensure the suspected cases reached IDH successfully, at least they owe us that. As a general hospital, a call to Yaba on a suspected case especially on foreigners will be answered with all sense of urgency. Instead they choose to run away. Now, where are those people? We keep blaming politicians but the citizens mostly fail at very basic tasks. One of the reasons why we are where we are today. |
Fragility6:Oga forget this grammar. What sort of nonsensical behavior the doctors and nurses put on? I don't want to believe they acted this unprofessionally. If it is true, then they deserve sack. With all the awareness and knowledge of how the virus transmits, they did not need to create any drama or act like people in stone age. What happens to politely not letting them get down, while directing them to appropriate hospital? We're they going to catch the virus in that way? Haba, this is too low of a trained medical personnel. If all the health personnel are going to put on this cowardly behavior, then we are doomed. |
YoungBlackRico:It is completely unbelievable that people are supporting this kind of unprofessional conduct. Even a first aider should not behave in this manner, let alone trained doctors and nurses. If this the way they are going to be behaving, then we are done. They should have personally led the way to IDH Yaba, ensuring the suspected case(s) are at the right place. I agree, Nigerians, especially most Govt. employees have pathetic attitude to work. |
Craigbrown4076:Really? A coach with poor tactical acumen may find it difficult to beat the top teams in England as he did. Understandably, the issue is always with smaller teams who defend deep. That takes us to creativity in the team, which was non existent with poor midfielders as Lingard and Pereira. Therefore it was difficult to open up such teams. Bruno has solved part of the issue and hopefully Pogba will rejoin and the issue of creativity will be solved. I think Ole needs another season with two new signings. |
akilo1:you misunderstood him. He was reminding the modes to push it to front page for wider view |
edoairways:I don't completely agree with you. Education is quite expensive and needs a whole lot of funding from Government. The government for now is doing below minimum expectations in terms of funding and still violating its own agreements with ASUU on all fronts. |
It is high time FG stopped this non challant attitude of not implementing agreements with ASUU. Why did they agree and not implement? This is a serious embarrassment to the nation. More needs to be done on our education sector but the Government is just lackadaisical about it. |
Awol1:Mr man, when will you and your likes get over GEJ' loss? It's being how many years now for crying out loud? Do you mean people that supported Jonathan have not witness any misfortune? If Sanusi was dethroned because of GEJ base on your theory, why is Buhari, the chief antagonist the president and has not dropped dead? GEJ is just one of the total failures and leadership misfit the country has produced since independence till date |
profolaolu:I wonder the kind of obsession some people have on the GEJ loss. The man himself has moved on and some people cannot let go. By the way, he is still on the long list of very poor performing leaders our blessed Country has been cursed with since independence. |
southniyikaye:it's not simple. The police is obstructing the driver's view. Except you want to die yourself, you cannot try it |
Okay, all my mind went to Maryland here in lagos |
kingkakaone:You are right. This is a new low for our youths. How can people be this crazy and hateful? A single individuals comment is turned to a country's representation and then an opportunity to insult their mother land. Which country creates panic for her citizens? If these Calibre of lazy youths find their way in leadership, then we will all be finished within months |
How meeting Zulum changed my life, by Teacher Obiageli by Mustapha Temidayo — 14 hours ago •Ms. Mazi addressing pupils It was providence at work because neither Obiageli Mazi nor Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum knew what was in the offing. Zulum visited a school where Ms Mazi was a teacher and her story has since changed. JOEL DUKU met Ms Mazi and she told The Nation the exclusive details of her life and the meeting with the governor. As Obiageli Mazi, 54, is like the patient dog that is eating the fattest bone. She has been in the civil service for 31 years and has about five years to quit the Borno State Civil Service and was not expecting much, but a dramatic encounter with Borno State Governor Babagana Zulum has completely changed her fortunes. The Abia-born woman met Zulum on January 7. The governor found her at work at the Shehu Sanda Kyarimi Primary and Secondary School in Maiduguri at about 6.30 am and was impressed by her dedication to duty. He rewarded her with a cash donation and a promotion to the position of Assistant Headmistress. “The whole world has seen me. People are calling me from all over the country. Even in America, people have seen me. Thank you to His Excellency, our governor, Professor Babagana Umara Zulum,” Ms Mazi told our correspondent at the Shehu Sanda Kyarimi Primary and Secondary School in Maiduguri. Ms Mazi wanted the reporter to conclude the interview on time to avoid a clash with her schedule. She said: “My encounter with my governor was on January 7, 2020. I got here 28 minutes after six o’clock in the morning. As I was about to write my name in the time book, I saw them enter the school compound at 6.30. One of them walked towards me and I stood up and greeted him. Then he asked me who I am, that whether I am the headmistress. I said ‘no, I am a class teacher for primary one pupils’. He said ‘Ok. And you came early like this’. I said ‘yes this is how I use to come’. He asked me where I live. I told him Shielk Zarma Street, Kumshe. He now told me that they came with the governor. He said he would report my case to the governor and he left. “Later, I saw the governor, His Excellency, Babagana Umara Zulum, beckoned on me two times and then I grabbed my purse and started running towards him but the governor said ‘no, no, no just come gently’. I then slowed down but I moved very fast and greeted him and his entourage. “The governor then asked me, ‘what is your name?’ I said ‘Obiageli Mazi sir’. He said ‘who are you and what are you doing here?’ I replied that ‘I work here as a classroom teacher and I teach primary one’. He asked me ‘where do you live?’ I told him ‘I live at Kumshe at Shielk Zarma Street. He now said ‘and you are here at 6.30?’ He now shook his head and said ‘you must be rewarded’ and repeated that ‘you must be rewarded’. He asked me ‘which state are you from?’ and I told him ‘I am from Abia State’. He asked me about my qualification and I told him ‘I have my NCE’. He asked me ‘which year?’ and I told him the year. He asked me about my salary and I told him ‘thirty-five thousand’. He asked me ‘how many years have you served?’ and I told him ’31 years. He now said: ‘N35,000, 31 years, you must be rewarded’. He said ‘do you know me?’ I said ‘yes, I know you, you are our governor’. H went to his car and brought money to me. I knelt down a prayed for him that God will bless him and he said ‘don’t worry, you will be rewarded’. Another person from the governor came out and asked me about my phone number and I gave it to him. “When I held the money the first time, I didn’t even look at it and when my sister Amaka asked me how much, I told her ‘maybe it is N10,000.’ I didn’t know it was that much until I got home and people started calling me everywhere in Nigeria. They told me that the whole world has seen me, even in America.” The Women Teachers College (WTC) Nguru-trained teacher said she made a vow to God that she was going to give her best to pupils. “I have been teaching the children in this school since I was employed. When I got this job, I made a covenant with God that I will do it to the best of my ability and with dedication and sincerity to teach these children until the time I will retire from the work. I made that promise because God gave me the job when I did not expect it. I told God that under sickness or serious difficulties, I have been encouraged by people,” she said, adding: “I was employed on 1st February 1989 and later transferred to Jere. I have taught many people here. Some of the pupils that I taught are even outside the country and many of them are scattered in this town. They always encourage me anytime they see me. They tell me, Aunty, keep it up, God will reward you and I feel very happy all the time. “Like the English people will say that a patient dog eats the fattest bone. Look at me now enjoying the fattest bone. Even my principal and our mummy are always encouraging me to continue doing your work and one day you will be rewarded.” She described her relationship with her colleagues as cordial. “God has been fateful to me and the children I teach also love me so much. Even my headteacher has also been encouraging me and I feel very happy doing my work. Honestly, the cooperation that I have with members of staff here is massive. I thank God for everything,” she said. Her background Ms Mazi was orphaned at a very tender age. Her grandmother took her up and raised her with strong religious and moral discipline which, she said, has shaped her life. “I was very little when my parents died. It was my grandmother who took me and raised me up until she also died in 1979. I grew up in a God-loving family with a strong moral background. As a child, my grandmother never allowed me to be moving about. She always kept me by her side every time. She kept me around her to observe everything that she used to do so I learnt to be patient. My grandmother had a small chair for me that she would keep for me to sit down and be observing her even when she is cooking. My grandmother used to pray for me to succeed in life,” she said. Surviving Boko Haram She recalled: “It was indeed traumatic coming to school about that time but God has protected us up to this point that we are and we praise His name. There is a day I was coming to school and I reached the Gamboru market and Boko Haram started attacking and shooting. I just stood in the middle of the road and bullets just came and passed me. The shooting continued and I ran and hid in one house like that until the shooting stopped. “Many times they even entered the school and all of us would be running. But it is only God. There is one of my Aunties, Madam Caroline Obi, who was teaching in primary school when Boko Haram attacked but God closed their eyes and they did not touch her. Mrs. Obi had a partial stroke and was later transferred out of this school. She is dead now. May God rest her soul.” Read Also: Zulum’s exemplary leadership in Borno Getting married Ms Mazi, who has never been married in her life, hopes that her husband is on the way. According to her, she had a very serious ailment that almost claimed her life. The ailment, she said, was responsible for the delay of her marriage. She is grateful to God for healing her from the ailment. “Mazi is my father, I have not married. I was seriously sick and very close to the point of death. I thank almighty God for healing me and I am well today. That sickness delayed my marriage but I believe my husband is on the way. I don’t want to marry anyhow person but God will surely bring my husband for me,” Ms Mazi said. What her colleagues think of her Some of her colleagues attested to the fact that her presence in the school at the time the governor visited was not a one-off development but a long-held tradition of punctuality. Gamboru Primary School Headmaster Mohammed Buba Aliyu said Ms Mazi deserved more reward. According to him, “if you check the duty time book, she is always the first to come to school. Her name is always first in the time book.” He added: “During the rains, during the hot Maiduguri sun and like this terrible harmattan, you will always see her punctual in the school. Whatever she gets is as a result of her dedication. She is supposed to be rewarded even more than this. She truly deserves it. “She deserves anything that has happened to her. Any time you come to the school, she is always seated here with her register and her lesson plan always intact. She is very hard-working. We are saying this, not because she is here but it is the truth.” Mariam Idris Hassan, who Ms Mazi taught in the school about thirty years ago, added that she is a source of inspiration to her. “I see her as my mother. She taught me in primary one in this school. Now we are colleagues but I see her as a mother and a role model because of her dedication to duty. Mama’s major concern is to do her job. She does not leave the children to engage in group discussion outside the class. She is always teaching her children. We love her so much in this school,” Hassan, who is now an assistant headmistress in the school, said. |
jimyjames:Are you serious? Maybe you need to see an optician |
socialmediaman:Please do not mix up issues here. INEC and APC who were respondents countered Atiku and PDP claims with evidences. Atikus case was even on a faulty server foundation which electoral law has not recognized till date. So it was easy for inec and APC to defend. In the end, Atikus evidences did not proof his claims. In Hopes case, he tendered INEC duplicate documents as evidence that he was voted but inec did not count his votes. INEC claimed without evidence that the documents were faked. PDP kept quiet. So what do you want the court to do? Mind you it is not the duty of judge to investigate evidences presented to him. It is the argument between an applicant and a defendant that helps the judge in admitting evidences. So you need to know how a court process and the law works. Again you don't have to be a lawyer to learn these basics. |
ShinnBet:He did exactly that by tendering the documents. If anybody said they were fake, it was left for them to prove it with evidence. Not with mouth, court works with evidence. Is not as if police will just take me to court and say I killed someone and the judge will sentence me to death. they must provide evidences |
shosky1794:One becomes so disappointed in our youths when reading comments on nairaland like now. I wonder if this shameful display of ignorance is deliberate or due to lack of knowledge. Many people here don't even know jack about basic things concerning law. How on earth should Hope start proving the originality of his documents or otherwise? It was the responsibility of the respondents, INEC and PDP to prove they are not original. But many mentally lazy people here would rather make you believe what is wrong. this is so sad |
socialmediaman:No please, we should be open minded on this one. SC said INEC disputed the documents. and even alleged forgery which is criminal. In the criminal justice system, he who alleges must prove beyond reasonable doubt. Hope alleged that, his votes were cancelled and though this is not criminal in this context, he had to still prove it with the documents he duly tendered. INEC who alleged forgery now had the onus to prove it, it was no longer Hope's business to prove whether his documents were fake or original. |
Former All Progressives Congress (APC) Deputy National Publicity Secretary, Timi Frank, has expressed confidence that the People Democratic Party (PDP’s) planned nationwide protest against Supreme Court ruling on Imo governorship election will be an effort in futility. The former APC deputy spokesperson argued that the PDP governors that have constituted major problem to opposition party in the country with the manner some of them lobby to travel with President Muhammadu Buhari, will not allow the protest to yield any positive fruit. Reacting to media report credited to the PDP of planning to stage a nationwide protest over the Imo judgement, Frank, in a statement he issued, described the move is belated. He also claimed that apart from Rivers state governor, Nyesom Wike and very few others, many of the opposition party governors daily lobby to be in the good books of President Buhari, hence avoiding commenting on issues affecting Nigerians negatively. “PDP’s planned protest is medicine after death, why didn’t they protest when the former CJN Onnogen was forcefully removed from office? Why didn’t they protest when the last presidential election was rigged in favour of APC by INEC and the Army? “Why didn’t they protest when Supreme Court unjustly threw out Presidential Election Appeal? Today Nigerians are seeing the result of the forceful removal of Onnogen from office; it’s a bit late for PDP to protest,” he queried in the statement. The Bayelsa born activist specifically condemned in strong term the Abia state governor, who travelled on Friday to London with President Buhari at a time his colleague in Imo (Ihedioha) was removed as governor. Frank alook described as sŕtťhameful that PDP has 16 governors and only one or two is committed to the cause of the party. “Some PDP governors are the problem of Nigeria, some of them go to the extent of lobbying the cabal to travel out with the President so as to be on his good books, they are selfish, corrupt, over ambitious and shameless. “Some of them betrayed the PDP during the last presidential election and gave the APC 25 per cent in their states in return for not being prosecuted after they leave office and to win their second term,” he claimed. According to him, “we have heard what da sitting PDP governor said about his membership of the APC yet the PDP as a party could not penalize him and now they want to protest? “Apart from the governor of Rivers state Nyesom Wike and sometimes, the Benue state governor Samuel Ortom, other PDP governors are PDP by the day and APC by night; they fraternize with the APC thereby rendering PDP incapacitated and unable to function properly and cannot play the role of an effective opposition. “Nigerians are being taken for a ride by the APC administration and the PDP can’t do anything to checkmate government because most of the PDP members and especially some governors are compromised, otherwise they could have fought Buhari the same way the opposition governors fought Goodluck Jonathan, whereas those governors refused to compromise during Jonathan’s tenure. “Nigerians should observe that apart from Governor Wike and Governor Ortom, no other PDP governor dares to criticize Buhari and even make any statement about national issues. If there is any governor that Buhari and the APC would have loved to remove, it is Governor Wike; this is because he is not PDP by the day and APC by night, which is the reason he has the support of his people and despite all the persecution by the federal government, he still stands tall.” While urging other PDP governors to emulate Governor Wike for posterity to judge them well, Frank said: “It is better for these governors to decamp to APC so Nigerians and the world can see them for who they truly are, after all once you decamp to APC; all your sins (Looting and corruption) are forgiven. “To show you how incompetent some of the PDP governors are, the Abia state PDP governor Okezie Ikpeazu, flew to London with Buhari and some APC members in the presidential jet, barely three days after a PDP governor colleague of his from the same South-East was robbed through the Supreme Court and his seat given to APC. He was seen smiling and grinning from ear to ear like a child that just tasted chocolate for the first time in his life. “Instead of telling APC the truth, Ikpeazu is fraternizing with them the same day the PDP was having its NEC meeting. He abandoned the meeting and flew with Buhari to London, as that is more important to him than attending PDP meeting, the party that gave him a platform to become governor. “The wicked flee when no man pursueth, no amount of fraternizing with Buhari and the APC can save any looting governor when the day of reckoning comes. “Nigerians are helpless today at the hands of APC because some PDP governors have compromised for their selfish interest but they should remember that they are not God, only God knows how all these will pan out tomorrow,” Timi Frank said in the statement.

Bantino:Going by the judgement, it will seem their votes were counted while those of hope were wrongly cancelled. Head or tail, it is not the duty of the supreme court judges to investigate if the other parties did not have votes in those units. It is the duty of the parties themselves to prove to the court that their votes were illegally deducted. This is what Hope/APC did. So it will be best for you to ask that question of the various parties and not the supreme court . |
Dmony:Ordinary it should be. But if one remembers how GEJ and PDP sold oil at high prices and embezzled all the money, then th.ere is no need to to be hopeful of any good. The politicians will still embezzle all after selling. |
2shure:I think v4 or 6 is not the issue when it comes to this speed thing. You can still do 240 on v4 or 80 on v6. its totally depends on the discretion of the driver. |
xavuv:It is. Any which way you look at it. The higher the number the more the gravity of impact, which ever unit you choose. By the way, mph and km/h are not inversely proportional. The higher the mph the higher the km/h. It is not as if if you increase mph then km/h will decrease or vice versa. |
Nmezor:The degree of impact.
