mrvitalis:You said the whole truth. Naira has lost the core value of money which is a store of value. I can bet if the government just spread a speculation that they are pegging naira to 1kbto a dollar you would see the pressure reducing because if it continues like this, every single Nigerians would be moving their little savings out of naira and this will continue to make it crash. |
Politics / Re: Elder Statesman, Aminu Dantata Backs Transition To Parliamentary System by Gr8amechi: 5:24pm On Feb 15 |
Minsk24: There is no way the PM is to be directly voted, the PM is part of the parliament and his tenure should not be fixed, imagine if we are in a Parliamentary systems by now Tinubu would have been passed vote or no confidence and the president would have called for a fresh election I have proposed this style based on our heterogeneous nature. Let's have a Parliamentary systems with 1. President as the head of state and holds ceremonial powers but act as a nonpartisan symbol of unity. The position shall be rotational and he shall be the commander in chief of the armed forces meaning the armed forces are under him, external security are under him and in time of war a war cabinet is formed which he leads. 2. The PM will be the head of government and if his policies are anti masses with a massive protest the president would order him to step down. The PM will be responsible for internal security, federal police and national guards and forest guard which shall act as military arms but for only donestic matters and are the first reserves for external aggression. |

Politics / Re: Electoral Amendment Bill Passes Second Reading In The House Of Reps (Proposal) by Gr8amechi: 9:56am On Feb 09 |
fergie001:Almost everything here is rubbish. How long are we going to continue to amend this act? The first thing we ought to do is a forensic review of the last election and the loopholes of the court judgment before any amendments should be considered, that said these are my recommendations. 1. Continous voters register must be maintained and more stringent using NIN, this will eliminate double registration, INEC should review their registers every 5 years to remove diseased people. 2. Harmonise off-cycle elections, and make legislature elections come first. Both state and national assembly elections should be held same day, while executives both president and governorship be held on the same day. 3. Make electronic transmission and collation of results mandatory and failure to do that at the polling unit makes the results null and void also the INEC staff is subject to at least 20 years in prison without an option of fine. The problem we have in our election isn't transmission but the collation of results, most collation of results at the ward and LGA level is where the whole corruption happens, so eliminate manual collation of results at ward and LGA levels and allow only live collation at state levels. 4. There should be no preelection matter litigations after elections, all preelection issues must be resolved before the conduct of the election and the only thing to be litigated after an election should be about the results of the election not about anything relating to preelection or candidacy as all these must be concluded before the election. However, the best way forward for Nigeria is a new constitution. It's clear to everyone that the presidential system of government is not working and its too expensive for us, a parliamentary system is best suited for a heterogenous group like us, so I propose strongly and end to this system and immediately adopt a presidential-parliamentary system where the president will be none partisan and elected as an independent candidate and holds ceremonial powers as the symbol of national unity and has the responsibility to dissolve the parliament in event of massive suffering like we are witnessing now. |

komodapson: None of those countries you mentioned are off anything. You jump from France to become a Russian slave. Can you compare companies owned by Chinese in Nigeria how they abuse humans? It's a shame that Niger has uranium but can't handle or refine them just like Nigeria have oil, lithium etc but can't process them. These coupist have not ideas of development, mark this posr we can come back here in 5 years and see if the lives of the people are better. A serious lead don't just cease power, he outlines a clear direction with power. It's easy to cease power, the problem is what to do with it? Niger should first recall all their intellectuals from all over the world, ensure nobody will be intimidated. Begin exploration and refinishing of uranium and the sell the value added product. This current agreement they have with Russia is another slavery. You can't have a country and then allow a foreign nation to come and help you build your infrastructure, this always comes at a cost. 1 Like |

Health / Re: Brushing Before Or After Eating In The Morning. Which Is Best Practice? by Gr8amechi: 10:40am On Nov 21, 2023 |
osasere06:Your girlfriend is so ignorant and just like many Nigerians always jumps into an ideology without understanding the factual reasons why they were made medically. Medically brushing your teeth is the last thing you should do at night before going to bed, meaning you brush after dinner when you wake up all you need is just a glass of water to drink or just rinse your mouth with and then eat first and brush your teeth 30 to 60 minutes after eating. This isn't about what anyone thinks, it's about medical recommendation, you brush your teeth at least 30 minutes after eating at night or in the morning, also its advisable not to rinse your mouth with water after brushing at night, this keeps your breathe fresh in the morning and most importantly reduce the bacterial growth over the night. So going forward ensure you brush twice daily, at night after dinner and in the morning after breakfast. |

Magnoliaa:I think you kinda mixing things up. The points you raised are valid and definitely any man who loves you would be understanding because the basis of love is understanding, however, the topic of submissive is about direction, having the lead, and also the direction of the flow of authority. Africa is so backward currently because we want to copy everything white, compared with the Asians, everyone understands their God-given role and duties by virtue of their birth. When an order is distorted what's left is chaos, the family unit must have order, now this is not a pass for men who are irresponsible to take advantage of. For a home to work, there must be a mother and father role, the challenge we have currently is men are becoming too lazy to be men and women are choosing anything other than being women, worse off the west has so much brainwashed our generation for all women to think that their mothers were slaves to men and they should demand for more. 1 Like |

Health / Re: Some Nigerian Doctors Forget Tools Inside Stomach After Surgery!!!! by Gr8amechi: 3:31pm On Nov 07, 2023 |
Namaster: The problem of Nigerians is we always leave the principal issues and begin to chase shadows. Yes if you don't know, doctor's are punished if they are found to have committed malpractices. Doctors are even more aware now and everyone is taking cover. The question is why do these type of things happen? Why would a doctor even be operating in some of the 'Dustbin" we call operating rooms? We are all quick to crucify the doctors because everyone hates the doctors here. We all want the standard of care in developed world but we have all kept a blind eyes to the decay in health sector. How would a doctor not forget things when he is made to overwork, work under terrible conditions. Until you see doctors using phone touch to operate a patient in a government owned facility then you would understand the pressure doctors are faced daily. Our healthcare system is grossly understaffed and grossly under paid. Everyone is very fast to blame doctors and nurses until you are forced to take what they take. How do you expect a nurse who is nursing a ward of over 50 patients to give in his or her best? Almost every Nigerian wants to come to the hospital and vent their anger, this makes almost every health worker to be on the offensive. The laboratory people you are praising why would they not be awesome when they sit under AC and take their time and do their things without pressure? Go to teaching hospital and see how many times the junior doctors who are the house officers fight with laboratory guys just to secure blood for your relatives. Some Nigerians are bunch of ungrateful bastards. Address the root cause of this issues, address the principal cause. If the hospital have better facilities, more staffs, reduced workload, better working environment and better pay, you can hold people fully responsible. See go to teaching hospital and see doctors who are on call for one full week, how can you expect a doctor to be working 247 for a week or even days? Do you even think that Person is mentally fit to truly give patients the best? We have seen doctors who collapsed and die after series of surgeries in government owned hospital. Truth is every single person who visit Nigerian hospital is just at the mercy of God, your whole health workers are overly worked that they barely have any time to even recharge so don't ever expect any best treatment. Let's stop being smart by half. Medical negligence and malpractice should be eradicated from Nigeria but you must provide enabling environment for proper medical practice. Currently our healthcare ecosystem Forster's malpractice and suboptimal care. 1 Like |
Politics / Re: Full Text Of Atiku's Speech At His Press Conference by Gr8amechi: 1:05pm On Oct 30, 2023 |
Nemere2020:I totally reject any plan for any constitutional amendment, what we need is a totally new constitution, it's obvious that the 1999 constitution can never work because it was drafted intentionally with so much ambiguity to aim corruption. To solve this problem permanently this is the only way: 1. NASS should suspend the 1999 constitution and pass a law for a referendum to draft a new Nigerian People's constitution. 2. the 1963 constitution should be the template, it is clear that the presidential system will never work in our heterogenous state, so let's adopt a parliamentary system with a confederation. There will no longer be a president, what we now have will be the following: a. Chancellor, he will be the symbol of the unity of the confederation, he shall be the ceremonial head of state, and the position shall not be partisan as candidates should be only independent candidates and must not have heard any political position in at least 20 years before contesting, the tenure shall be for a single 15 years and the position shall be rotational, he shall retain the power to ask the prime minister for form a cabinet or dissolve it. The seat of the chancellor shall be Abuja. b. The prime minister shall be the head of government who shall be elected from amongst the NASS members and shall sever a term as the duration of his term in the NASS, each term shall be 5 years but can be dissolved at any time in events of vote of no confidence or if he has lost the support of the majority of the house, also the prime minister shall double as the minister of defense. The office of the prime minister also shall be in Abuja but the NASS should be in the south, this will keep the legislatures very far apart from the executives c. Abolish states and replace them with provinces, and divide the country into 6 to 10 provinces with the consent of the people of such provinces. d. Sign an article of union which shall be renewed every 30 to 50 years through a referendum of continuous union or dissolution. e. create the office of the attorney general of the federation different and distinct from the minister of justice, the prime minister should not appoint the AGN but it must be done as a job recruitment by the NJC which shall forward the names of the 3 best candidates from the screening to the NASS which shall then refer to the chancellor for rectification. f. the Police, Burea of national investigation, and security shall be under the AGN office. Also, the INEC chairman should be appointed by the NJC through an open recruitment format. g. a new electoral act and constitution shall then be written to give inec powers to screen candidates and also to remove candidates with any controversies from contesting. |

Politics / Re: The President Shouldn’t Appoint INEC Chairman – Jega by Gr8amechi: 10:30pm On Oct 21, 2023 |
Hedonisco:You made some solid points but I would love to modify it a bit. How about we reconfigure this country this way 1. First pass a bill to suspend the constitution and give room for "people's constitution" 2. Scrap states and divide the country into 6 to 10 federating units called provinces. Each province will have their own police, their own laws and their own rules, for you to move from one province to another you would require a permit to do so. Each province will be administered by a primier or provincial governor or which ever name we call them. Each province will have their own independent police structure, but this police doesn't use automatic fire rifles only shot gun and Barton's, Their police structure will be made up purely of agents or detectives but no province will be allowed to have a SWAT team. Each province will be able to fix their own minimum wages, manage all their schools and the FG will hands off completely on schools. The fg will only have 6 to 10 federal universities with one in each province. 3. Scrap the position of the president and replace it with a name like Chancellor or any other nice ceremonial name, now the chancellor or which ever name we give it will be the symbol of the unity of the confederation. The Chancellor shall be elected by a popular vote to serve a single term of 12 years, and he will be none partisan and also to qualify to be a chancellor, you must have serve in active service to the country a minimum of 20 years, and you must not have held any political appointment or had any political affiliations at least 15 years before election. Candidates vying for this position will do so as independent candidates. 4. Each province will have not more than 20 representative, which will be a total of not more than 200 representative. Now these representative will be referred as members of parliament and from amongst them a prime minister would be elected whose duty is to the act as the CEO of the country while the chancellor acts as the chairman of the board of the country. In the event of massive uprising or a revolt against government policies, the chancellor is duty bound to dissolve the parliament and conduct a fresh election. 5. The INEC chairman, the attorney general of the federation, the cjn will not be appointment of the president. a. The Attorney general of the federation will be contested by very senior and prominent legal experts and the body who would over see this is the NJC, b. The attorney general would be required by law to fill the vacancy of the INEC chairman if vacant by first putting out advert for the position and clearly writing the NASS to begin screening of candidates whose scores and criterion of appointment will be made public. c. The cjn shall be appointed based on hierarchy as it is currently. 6. There will be a nation council which shall be made up of the chancellor, with the cjn, the attorney general, the INEC chairman and representative from all professional organisations which shall be meet three times yearly to access the performance of the government and give recommendations to the chancellor who either passes a vote of confidence or vote of no confidence. 7. There will be no more federal allocation rather all province's must manage their resources and pay 30 to 50% of all revenue as royalty to the federal government which it uses to maintain the currency, manage the Military and defense. The federal government will focus clearly on foreign policies and the prime minister will automatically be the minister of defense, while the deputy prime minister will also coordinate the ministry of internal affairs. So much more but basically, we must jettisoned this 1999 unitary dictatorship document and produce a people's constitution. Please let's join hands and begin to push for this |
