sugarlyn: Health is free in the UK if you get papers and 'cos she get work permit it is still free although she would have paid a health surcharge of £1,035 per year in advance which in the circumstance is a fraction of the cost of looking after her in intensive care unit. Health care in the UK used to be completely free from cradle to grave for EVERYONE including those without papers or work permit until a few years ago when things changed and the health surcharge was introduced to prevent health tourism and to also raise money for the struggling UK Govt finances. I saw the following article on the internet regarding why a life support machine may be turned off :- Choosing to remove life support usually means that the person will die within hours or days. 1 Like 1 Share |

Caaz: Very good comment. When I turn off my phones every week day at 7pm and refuse to take it into my bedroom and only switch it on the next day people don't understand what I am purposefully doing. Knowing that sleep is the best medicine, I don't joke with my 8 hours minimum nightly sleep with more at the weekends. A lot of people doing care work in the UK choose to do nights and some work round the clock and the next day WatsApp will not let them sleep and eventually it takes its toll on their physical health whilst the constant night work damages their mental health. RIP to the Lawyer who died just months into her relocating to the UK. Her system is probably not used to the extreme stress in the UK. UK is not for the faint hearted. In my days as a student Accountant in London, I was a mini cab driver when I had just brought my then 7 month old son and my Ex from Naija to London and to make extra money, I borrowed my brothers extra car and went on a long mini cab shift lasting 60 hours (2 and a half days) without sleep (in those days you had to put in the hours to make anything from mini cabbing) and on the way home after the 60 hour shift I started feeling sleepy and I wound down my windows so that the winter cold will keep me awake as I was only 20 minutes or so from home. What saved my life was that the Met police stopped me just as I was approaching the entrance to Rotherhite tunnel and asked me to put on my seat belt which I did. As I exited the East London end of the tunnel and turned right towards Stratford, I dozed off for a split second and crashed the "borrowed" car into the central road divider. I was not injured but the car was a write off (although UK write off is not as serious as Naija one). The police came and called an ambulance and I was certified fine at the hospital. The police later charged me to court for "driving without due care and attention" 'cos in their summation, the minute I started feeling sleepy, I should have pulled over, reclined my seat and slept for a while instead of carrying on driving. I was fined £250 at the court and had 6 penalty points docked from my license. I have a neighbor living in the same building in London and she studied law in the UK, went back to Naija and did law school and to my chagrin she still came back to London to continue doing care work round the clock when she should have been looking for at least an office job ![]() The thing is that if she stuck to her guns and decided to only accept office work, since she had UK papers, the UK Govt will pay her rent plus feeding allowance until she got the office job as long as she shows them evidence that she is job hunting and in the meantime she can intensify her job hunt for the office or law job she really wants. But because a lot of Nigerians can not tolerate temporary lack of "show off" money, they get stuck in care jobs which tires and wears them down that they don;t have the energy to put a CV together talk less of job hunting which is a job in itself. We worship money in Nigeria and most Nigerians look down on those without money and this is "partly" responsible for some people who already have papers in the UK to still be willing to spend ages doing menial jobs instead of stopping the menial work to focus on "full time" job hunting for a job related to what they studied since the UK Govt will pay their rent and feeding allowance whilst they hunted for the right job for them. But they are so short sighted and blinded by the money coming from the care work they are doing round the clock without pausing to think that if they only worked the normal 35 hour week, then they will see that they are not earning that much from care work. Care work wey be say one wrong twist when lifting a heavy client has caused some Naija carers to have slipped vertebral discs. A job you can't do into old age ![]() I remember many years ago when I came back to the UK after I closed the restaurant I went to open in Naija due to staff theft, I dated a Naija carer and she suggested to me that since cleaners then earned £13 per hour, I should consider applying for a cleaning job since there was a recession in the UK at the time and it affected the service sector the most. I simply told her that if she wanted the relationship to last, she should not mention such to me again as I would rather work as an accountant earning £3 per hour than as a cleaner earning £13 per hour. The relationship did not last. I once worked as a database programmer at UCL (University College London) and I almost cried the day I saw the name of an old friend and former classmate at UI Medical school in the HR database at UCL as a cleaner. ![]() 3 Likes 2 Shares |

Emman08:Going by what has been happening to the Lagos State treasury for the past 25 years, and seeing that Seyi Tinubu is on the board of a company owned by Hitech Construction which is a company headed by one of Tinubu's business associates the super corrupt Lebanese guy named Gilbert Chagoury who helped Abacha Loot billions of dollars) your guess is as good as mine. Tinubu awarded the multibillion dollar Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway contract to Hitech Construction which is fronted by Gilbert Chagoury who is seen flexing in the photo below with Tinubu. 2 Likes 1 Share

Racoon: Presidency Admits Tinubu's Son Is Board Member In Same Firm With Chagoury Family Whose Company Is Handling Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway May 6, 2024 Atiku had criticised the Nigerian government for giving the contract for the construction of the Lagos-Calabar Coastal Highway to Hitech Construction Company which he claimed is owned by the Chagoury family. Atiku had said the President's son, Seyi Tinubu, was a board member of Hitech Construction. The Presidency in a statement issued on Monday by the Special Adviser to the President on Information and Strategy, Bayo Onanuga, said that Atiku as the Vice President between 1999-2007, maintained his business links with Intels that won major port concession deals. “Was this not an abuse of office, a flagrant violation of his oath, that a company where he was a co-owner won major government contracts and concessions when he was vice president? He further stated that “It is important to state clearly that Seyi Tinubu is a 38 year-old adult who has a right to do business and pursue his business interests in Nigeria and anywhere in the world within the limits of the law. “The fact that his father is now the President of Nigeria does not disqualify Seyi from pursuing legitimate business interests. “For the records, Seyi joined the Board of Directors of CDK in 2018, more than six years ago. He is representing the interest of an investor company, in which he has interest. He is not a board member because his father is a friend of the Chagourys.” He stressed that “The Chairman of CDK and the highest shareholder of the company is respected General TY Danjuma (rtd). The Chagouris are minority shareholders in the company, and only one member of the clan is on its five-man board. “That Nigeria’s economy is being reclassified by the IMF as the fourth largest in Africa is stale news. This happened because of the devaluation of the Naira and President Tinubu’s determined effort to set the economy on the path of sustainable growth. https://saharareporters.com/2024/05/06/presidency-admits-tinubus-son-board-member-same-firm-chagoury-family-whose-company https://punchng.com/coastal-highway-seyi-tinubu-has-right-to-pursue-business-interests-presidency-tells-atiku/ 1 Like 1 Share |

Racoon: Whatever Tinubu cannot destroy to get an opportunity to Loot billions does not exist. From Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_Lekki_shooting#Attack I watched a Youtube video a few weeks ago where some prominent Nigerian (can't remember if it was Dele Farotimi or not) said that just before the Lekki Toll Gate Massacre, the underground Telecoms fiber cables were cut to disrupt internet and telecoms service. I wonder who authorized the cutting of the Telecoms cables in Lagos before the Lekki toll Gate Massacre ![]() 1 Like 1 Share |

Beeb1e:After your mum recovers, she can not go back to live in that village as that man will kill her if care is not taken. Relocate her from the hospital to wherever you stay for now to prevent that man killing her. It is very clear that people in that so called village are either wicked or do not like your mum because they waited and watched while that man beat your mum for a whole 2 hours and when she eventually slumped and went into coma, a man from the same village that could have intervened to stop the assault is now phoning you to come and see your mum in the hospital. Whoever watched your mum being brutalised for 2 hours in that village and did nothing but watch instead of either stopping the man or calling the police is either evil or hates your Mum and this includes the man who called you. Don't let her go back to live in that village even for one day as that man will kill her. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Reproduced below are the 2 petitions I started online and on Nairaland in 2020 calling for Tinubu and all Corrupt Nigerian Politicians to be declared as guilty of Crimes Against Humanity because of their corruption. My 2020 Nairaland post in the link below got only one comment whilst my 2 Petitions that I started also in 2020 at the below 2 sites got only 2 and 1 comment respectively ?? Maybe Nigerians will take their future financial well being more serious in 2024 with the turn of events in Nigeria. Just maybe 'cos repeatedly trying to sensitize Nigerians to the fact that our Politicians are looting us into oblivion is a tiring task especially as we still have some people defending Below is my 2020 Petition and it is still open for signatures :- Tinubu and all Corrupt Nigerian Politicians are guilty of Crimes Against Humanity https://www.ipetitions.com/petition/all-corrupt-nigerian-politicians-should-be https://www.change.org/p/governments-in-the-uk-usa-europe-canada-australia-united-nations-and-the-western-world-corrupt-nigerian-politicians-should-be-declared-as-having-commited-crimes-against-humanity https://www.nairaland.com/6172038/tinubu-all-corrupt-nigerian-politicians |

Emmabyte: I actually started 2 petitions (on ipetitions.com and change.org in 2020 (4 years ago) online to declare all Corrupt Nigerian Politicians as guilty of Crimes Against Humanity at the links below and I followed it up by creating a Nairaland topic in the same 2020 asking people to sign the below 2 petitions with my Nairaland 2020 topic specifically mentioning Tinubu and all Corrupt Nigerian Politicians are guilty of Crimes Against Humanity by their corruption. My 2020 Nairaland post reproduced below got only one comment whilst my 2 Petitions at the below 2 sites got only 2 and 1 comment respectively ![]() Is it that Nigerians have deep Stockholm Syndrome for these Criminals in power or are Nigerians so downtrodden that they don't believe they deserve better or have Nigerians lost the will to fight for a better lot from the Criminals ruling us ![]() The latter point above is not true because Nigerians fight themselves mercilessly everyday on social media on irrelevant issues and so why can't they fight the Corrupt politicians and if they are scared of fighting, why did they not join or even vote for a Sowore who was ready to be imprisoned whilst leading a revolution ![]() Reading how people can no longer afford Garri in some states in Nigeria is heartbreaking for me to read and even though I have not lived in Nigeria for decades, East or West, home is the best and Tinubu is destroying the only place that Nigerians the world over can call home with his Corruption that he has perfected for the past 25 years on the Lagos state Treasury and that he has now unleashed on the Nigerian treasury ![]() Reproduced below are the 2 petitions I started online and on Nairaland in 2020 calling for Tinubu and all Corrupt Nigerian Politicians to be declared as guilty of Crimes Against Humanity because of their corruption.

Nonny95: Tinubu has probably only used the internet to shop for drugs and high class escorts, so he wouldn't know about the real power of online fact checking in exposing lies by Government officials. Tinubu does not care either way 'cos all he is interested in is looting to the stage that he is richer than the Nigerian Treasury and he can then buy all of Nigeria's elections going forwards. Bookmark this my post and come back to it after the 2027 elections if Tinubu makes it that far. |

SoNature: How did Nigeria rescue defeat from the jaws of victory ![]() I don't live in Nigeria but seeing how Tinubu has been selecting who is governor and looting Lagos state for the past 25 years and counting, I have not had peace of mind since it became clear that Tinubu was going to be on the presidential ballot and I am sure that now that the worst has happened to Nigeria, I am not the only Nigerian both home and away that thinks that only an act of God can save 200 Million Nigerians from the corruption induced penury that Tinibu I am certain that Tinubu in just 11 months is already richer than Nigeria. That's how thirsty Tinubu is for looting the treasury in order to have enough bribery arsenal to use in perpetuating himself and his cronies in Aso Rock into perpetuity. |

baliyubla: Nigerians don't FULLY realise how much peril ALL Nigerians home and abroad are in with the continued tenancy of that criminal in Aso Rock. By the time most Nigerians FULLY realize the dangers Tinubu represents to our collective well being, it may be too late. That's if it is not too late already. |

baliyubla: Bola Tinubu's only certificate is that he is a certified criminal to the core. Even the Aroloya primary school he claimed to have attended does not exist. This is what we get when 95% of Nigerians worship money. Now the s.hit has hit the fan and we are all watching helplessly as the drug lord steals Nigeria blind by the second and sells Nigeria to himself through bogus contracts to cronies including his super corrupt Lebanese business associate Gilbert Chagoury who helped Abacha Loot billions of dollars. 1 Like 1 Share |

Gone were the days when state secondary schools taught this kind of verbal reasoning in English classes and even you had to pass same at common entrance exams to enter secondary school unlike today where 1.4m of 1.8m students scored below 200 in last months Jamb and cut off for medicine is reported to be at 200 out of a possible 400 marks and in some courses you can score below 200 i.e below 50% and still be admitted to university ![]() No more mental rigor due to lowered expectations and a father was even arrested for sitting Jamb for his son ![]() When I was at UI, people came from all over the world to study at UI including Indians, Africans and UK returnee kids who were sent back to Naija by their parents to study medicine at UI when the cut off for medicine in Jamb was 280 (not the pathetic 200 allowed today). You could even sit for Jamb exams in London back then 'cos I know someone who did. How are the mighty fallen. |

It was gathered that people decided to inspect his vehicle which had been running for hours at the spot where it was parked. RIP to the dead but this is a well known classic case of suicide by Carbon Monoxide poisoning. He would have connected a hosepipe to his cars exhaust pipe and passed the hose into his car and kept the engine running with all windows would up and when the CO gas builds up to a certain level, he loses consciousness and then dies from CO poisoning. Oyinbo sabi do this kind suicide well well. Thats probably where he learnt it from. Being a financial adviser and venture capitalist which is an extremely risky affair, maybe he was facing financial ruin from a business investment gone wrong , currency speculation or loan issues. |

helinues: Na so dem kill Funsho Williams in Lagos in 2006. Two people were arrested in connection with his death. One was his campaign manager, and the other was a senator and former Works Minister Kingsley Ogunlewe. Ogunlewe was also hoping to be the PDP governorship candidate. Also, Dipo Dina the Ogun State governorship candidate was killed in 2010. The funny thing was that he was in his car with his driver and a Cele woman and they were on the way to a beach for the Cele woman to give him a spiritual bath to fortify him and ward off evil. They first considered going for the so called spiritual bath at the then Kuramo beach but Dipo said he did not want to risk being identified at Kuramo and so they proceeded to another more remote beach and on their way, their car was accosted by gunmen who killed the politician. People were asking then that why could the Cele woman who was going to give Dipo Dina the supposed spiritual bath at the beach not see a vision that death was around the corner for her customer ![]() |

Blazetrailer: Tinubu (a drug baron cum certified treasury looter) getting his hands on the Nigerian Treasury has finished Nigeria. Just watch as it all unravels and the criminality and sheer GREED in Tinubu (that was never hidden or disguised) will be clear for all decent Nigerians to finally see for themselves. Only an act of God can save Nigeria and Nigerians from Tinubu's vice like grip. |

Ever8090: Personally, I doubt the story as her "so called" Mum is not old enough to be her Mum. She is just a pathological liar chasing clout and views on social media. No so some woman on social media lie say whenever her husband wants to piss, he calls her and has sex with her so that he can urinate inside her when that is not even medically possible as the route for urine into the penis (the neck of the bladder) is blocked off by a mans natural anatomy during sex to prevent urine and semen from mixing. But some gullible people believed the "cork" and bull story. https://www.nairaland.com/5284595/husband-pees-inside-wife-during |

It was only Kadade that attended primary and secondary schools. My father said it was not necessary for the rest of us to go to school and that he wanted all of us to become farmers. Yet he kept calling us illiterates who could not speak English.” Some parents sow the seed of enmity amongst their own children with their careless words comparing one child against the other. |

Itiskdg121: The culprits are the politicians. If Yahaya Bello can pay his childrens school fees in advance from 2021 up to 2035 to the tune of $800,000 hard currency paid into the Schools Yankee Account and when you extrapolate this multiplied by 36 criminally minded Governors, an equally corrupt Bullion Van President and nearly 800 greedy Senators and Rep members all buying dollars to send their kids to school abroad, then demand and supply forces will kick in and Dollar will rise due to increased demand and the Naira will do the opposite. 3 Likes 2 Shares |
