eGuerrilla: Quite disappointing to hear someone as exposed as NOI advancing views that portray her as an ethnocentric chump partaking in one of those "we are better than the rest" discussion threads one gets to read on Nairaland

Unfortunate - this is.

Noiseless2: It's better to pretend as if you haven't heard or seen the video where your master the king bigot AHMADU BELLO was boasting how he would rather climb moutains and swimm oceans in search of whitemen, then beg them to come down and take over any job opportunity instead of seing his fellow country men and women from the south taking the said opportunity.

Yet this king bigot is being celebrated in the north and southwest of this sh1t country, and you pretend nothing is wrong with his ideology, the sneak out to always vomit your poo.

chess guru: The bottom line is that the there is a negative perception of igbos in this country, and the individual igbo person on the street isn't really helping matters.
The 1st step in solving a problem is the acceptance of the existence of that problem in the 1st place. Without that what you have is J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ a journey through a thing called denial.
Am from d south and currently serve in delta, and can attest that the average igbo dude, doesn't trust the next igbo dude buy his side. Which is very very different from the total acceptance a yoruba guy has 4 another yoruba guy (or even hausa to another hausa) anywhere here in delta.
As a matter of fact, J̶̲̥̅̊u̶̲̥̅̊S̤̥̈̊τ̲̣̣̥ speaking d language makes you automatic pals with either of the hausa or yoruba guys here.
That being said, have made some good igbo friends here, but still my experience with a few (as regards our cds account) leaves a lot to be desired.
Any form of generalization is a fallacy, but the behavior of a few will always cast a bad light on the rest. As mrs Ngozi said. The change must come from the individual.
As concerning her statement on merit, I long for the day when for someone to get a position,it wouldn't matter if the person was from the north, east, west or the bleeping atlantic!
When we would realize that competition is not a bad thing. Rather, it is a tool that can destroy laziness, and extract the very best out of all of us

eGuerrilla:

As a rule, I generally do not indulge folks oozing with jaundiced hatred in discussions around these parts.
You - I situate in that rather distinct group without equivocation.

J12:
She is from Asaba and they see themselves as Igbos.

chess guru:
Really shouldn't matter, but am from cross river. Why do u ask bro

sliimghost:
Like i told u kid, you are one unrepentant bigot and i hope you don't die one. I thought the senate investigated the bogus aviation claims and came out with nothing? The same way Ihejirika cleared the air on the Military rumors? But born tribalists like you wont let it go, i really feel for you because from all indications, you need serious help!

Kingspin: Let other Nigerian take it or leave it,most part of this country hates igbo people and their problem is that they (igbo) are hard working,industrial,special etc people.I must tell u they are envy of igbos not because of the name but what an Igbo man and woman can do.If you watch closely every other tribe is fighting,talking against the igbo while they forget to take care of theirs odds .

AIDS doesn't kill people but complications from AIDS kills people are you going to now say that AIDS is not a deadly condition without treatment?
Or are you one those half clever idiotas.
Even if you survive a disease if your quality of life is reduced to crawling the streets of Lagos with slippers on your hands begging for alms is that a life worth living?

nagoma:

The trouble is you will never accept corrections. What you said was technically wrong. It was a terminological error and i corrected you. I will correct you again because repetition teaches the donkey , perhaps you will learn. I will give some examples of killer viral illnesses , a full blown AiDs is a killer codition as you are stripped of your immunity , your CD4 cell counts Is very low and even simple everyday infections can be fatal. Rabies infection is a killer condition. Even with treatment unto 80 % of all those who showed symptoms and signs will die of it. Another example of killer viral infections are the hemorrgic fevers , Ebola and Lassa fever but the myxovirus polio is crippling , debilitating causing flaccid lower motor neurons type of paralysis. Agreed it is more common among northerners. But the viruses that you should be worried about are HIV as for your sisters working in Italy - you know the kind of work and you should worry about the Kuru virus as an Igbo man. It is a hazard related to your special diet.

dbride: Consider NAGOMA.......
Please let nagoma be. We are from different backgrounds, have different ideologies, different beliefs. Nagoma and his kind are neither comfortable among the blacks nor whites. They enjoy their own company only; change is an abomination, conservatism is their food, the thought of being in power is their daily preoccupation and birth right.
Be warned, dont expect anything constructive from him. He thinks one-way even if it leads to hell. Nagoma go on soun.

nagoma:

I an glad you have realized that we are from different backgrounds but disagree with you about the company I keep. I have friends that respect from literally all over the world and of various races and religions and they reciprocate my respect for them . For you, it is integral part of your upbringing to insult and disrespect us Northerners. So I reciprocate. I am a simple employee with a regular salary and my condition is not related to who is the president so I don't know where I come in with the" being in power " nonsense. Of course as a Nigerian I feel concerned when a mediocre clueless person becomes my president. The country loses years in development , losses to lack of capacity and monumental corruption. Are you suggesting that I lose my franchise and shut up in the face of tyranny and arbitrariness just because a confused southerner is the president.?

AIDS does not kill anyone, no one dies from AIDS they die from complications associated with AIDS. There is a type of cancer that is prevalent in those at the final stages of AIDS. People will die from the common cold and pneumonia without treatment for AIDS. Which is why AZT treatment is so important, if you keep the CD4 count high th

nagoma:

You are perhaps thinking of Kaposi sarcoma which is the first cancer identified with AIDS. Actually almost all organs of the body can have cancer related to AIDS- skin, brain, liver, lungs, bowel and even blood leukaemias. I don't expect you to know all these. If you recommend treatment of AiDs with only AZT , you are at least 15 years behind time and you will do more harm than good. In this day and age even in naive patient I will not include AZT ( ZIDOVUDINE ) in my treatment , I may not even include any nucleoside analogs reverse transcriptase inhibitors at all.I would just go for effervirenz and tenofobir as first line and of course with emtricitabine to make a triple chemotherapy. I am assuming that the renal functions are good and you monitor regularly. ( if you stay with me you will learn a lot from quota teacher. And you may not need to buy exam expo again.)

nnenna.1:

Bad example, unless you are insinuating that everyone regardless of tribe is a kidnapper/criminal in the making.

I also find it funny that you overlooked the Northerners who ascribed this to Igbos only.

purpleclouds:

Google Master is back

nagoma:

Not google. Upto date antiretroviral therapy. If you feel too big to learn from a quota teacher then stay in your ignorance and depend on exam expos.

purpleclouds:
Google Master is back
AZT is still used in conjunction with other drugs but you think you are smarter than the world health organization so I digress
So please tell me how I was wrong about AIDS or do you just argue for the sake of it?

nagoma:

I told you what I would do. You can give AzT if that is all you know and your patient will end up with anaemia and also deep resistance due to monoterapy . He will have huge viral load and low CD4 and may actually have mutation , you will than have to go to second line too daly and may end up with very expensive salvage therapy. It's a question of give a penny and take your choice. WHO gives guidelines only and the one you are reading is out of date. The final choice of drugs is always with the Dr. And according to patient type .

purpleclouds:

My dear you use google, why do you disappear every so often when you need to come back to make a point? Bathroom breaks?

Well I'm not really learning from you if you are googling the answers and regurgitating them back to me. By the way quota teacher I looked up your factoid on Rabies and guess what (though I'm not surprised) you were wrong, like I said with early treatment most if not all will survive? I guess you were using outdated info too?

purpleclouds:

Yeah dear the WHO does nothing but guidelines
google master
How do they come up with those guidelines, if not from doctors and others in the medical field or you think WHO sits around making up facts?

nagoma:

With rabies treatment there are many factors including the site of entry , a rabid dog bite on the face is nearer to brain and more likely to develop into rabies while a bite on the foot may be arrested more easily. About high mortality , if you noticed I said " when symptoms and signs of rabies appear" . That is when mortality is very high. Treatment of rabies in real sense is not treatment at all. It is actually prevention. You are trying to stop and neutralize the Rhabdo virus before it reaches the CNS. Ones it is in CNS symptoms appear and you have lost the patient. If ihave rabies and I start showing signs of infection please kill me in a gentle way ( I know you will love to do that) but this is much much better than going thru the horrid picture of full blown rabies illness . It is perhaps the most terrifying illness in men and also in animals. Pray never to even see a case of full blown rabies.

nagoma:

A guideline is never rigid and concrete, it gives you latitude according to patient characteristics ( remember I said assuming the patient has no kidney problem) if the patient has kidney problem I will not use tenofobir and may actually go for AZT in the combination and then keep monitoring his hemoglobin to pick anemia daly . And if you think this explanation is in google, let me have the web address.
