I thought you'd left for good.

When did you return?

Firefire:
I will not agree to the idea of further driving the Taxes upward in Lagos, we are already under heavy and double taxation of different kinds...
- PAYE
- Consumption Tax
- Land Use Charge
- Etc
And yet social / infrastructure facilities are not evenly distributed.
I think the solution would be to develop standard transportation system, e.g Either low -high speed trains to connect cities, like in Europe...

Shymm3x:


I concur.

The people in Lagos are just too many for the infrastructures there and no matter what they do, the pressure will always overwhelm whatever infrastructures they build there.

Lagos needs a rapid depopulation exercise/drive before they start adding more to what is now already a snarled-up gigantic ghetto.

They need to move a lot of things out the place and give it one identity. You don't even the crowd in the people to generate a lot of revenue - banking and servicing alone, if well managed, should be able to sustain Lagos. The meagre IGR the crowd contribute is not worth the pressure they put on the infrastructures there.

They might as well give the pikeys a functional seaport somewhere in the South South and start diverting all their goods. Lagos should only serve the SW. Then move a lot of industries, especially manufacturing, to Ogun and Oyo. Then move other things to other parts of the SW.

Why do you want to reduce exchange of ideas here?
Are you AFRAID that your lackluster comments may be recognised for what they are- lackluster?

Abeg let the exchange of ideas flow freely so we all can learn and grow therefrom.
Thanks.

tpiah11:


what's the point of those pictures?

did you create those people or did you create yourself?


Fear God.

and don't respond to any comment of mine with s.tupidity, do you get that?

superstar1:

The only way Lagos can ever be depopulated is if and only if Biafra sees the light of day.

Those guys keep migrating to Lagos on a daily basis like the Syrians are migrating to Europe.

Though, if other congruent cities also up their game, it will stem the wave of migration from other places into Lagos.

Aareonakakanfo:


The brain of the average romani has been programmed in such a way that he sees Lagos as a "holy site". They pronounce it as "citee". Even if the FG builds a seaport far better than the ones in Lagos in the South-East or South-South,they still won't make use of it

After receiving a Fulbright Scholarship, one Nigerian-born Penn Dental professor will take his expertise back to his roots.

Penn Dental professor Sunday Akintoye was recently selected as a Fulbright Scholar, as which he will teach and research back in Nigeria for 10 months starting next January.

The Fulbright project will further strengthen Akintoye’s cross-border experiences researching and practicing dentistry.

“This is good timing for me because it’s a time when I can take care of those from African communities, covering teaching and training as well as research,” he said.

Drawn to the United States for its advanced dental research infrastructure and resources, Akintoye will now be able to exercise quality care in his African hometown.

“There is a lot of work to be done in this geographical area," he said.

In a recent interview with the Penn Dental Medicine Journal, Akintoye extended his hope that the project would “act as a bridge to bring American and Nigerian cultures together for the betterment of tomorrow."

Akintoye’s academic interest focuses on basic and translational research on alleviating orofacial complications of cancer therapy, which affect patients' mouths and jaws. He has researched projects supported by the National Institutes of Health and the American Cancer Society.

Aside from his academic interest in dental medicine, Akintoye also finds fulfillment serving as part of Penn’s faculty. Akintoye works as a mentor in the School of Dental Medicine and teaches a variety of undergraduate courses.

“I really enjoy mentoring … It’s very rewarding to see my mentees finishing dental school, go to residence programs and come back to academia,” Akintoye said. He is currently developing a new course on bone biology and spends time regularly practicing dentistry at Penn’s dental clinic.

A Nigerian native, Akintoye was first trained in dentistry at the University of Lagos Dental School, where he graduated in 1980. After practicing dentistry for some time after graduation, he reverted to dental research and pursued his interest in the U.S., earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery degree from New York University's College of Dentistry. He then completed a Master’s degree in oral biology at New York University. Before he joined Penn Dental’s standing faculty in 2003, Akintoye was trained at the National Institute for Dental and Craniofacial Research with an oral medicine and clinical training residency.

“I developed my interest in dental medicine while getting trained in Lagos," Akintoye said. “My passion for dental- and healthcare came naturally as I developed skill sets to care for other people."

You met your match

You can only bash the Flatheaders

Abeg, leave am alone ooooooo.

Abiodun Koya is an opera singer, even though she comes from a country (and a continent) that doesn’t have very much opera.

The Nigerian-born singer moved to Atlanta four years ago after 11 years in Washington, D.C. There, she infiltrated the diplomat circuit, singing at political events. “That’s one of the benefits of working in Washington, D.C.,” she said. “My embassy, the Nigeria embassy, was really behind me.”

In Atlanta, she has mostly been singing at private events, but while she is here, she hopes to explore classical crossover instead of sticking with strictly opera. “I just got to that point where I wasn’t satisfied with ordinary anymore,” Koya said.

On her first album, she focused on sacred music, but she translated some of it into the Nigerian dialect Yoruba and added techno elements.

Koya said, “I constantly think I’m like a music scientist. I kind of picture myself in a music laboratory in a coat, but my coat would be pink or purple and fun colors instead of white.”

Koya is performing a benefit concert at 5 p.m. Sunday at the Ray Charles Performing Arts Center at Morehouse College. It will feature African songs, spirituals and classical music. Proceeds will benefit the Courtesy Foundation’s scholarship fund for underprivileged girls in Nigeria.

A young Nigerian pharmacist, Seun Omobo, has won a keenly contested election to emerge chairperson of the International Pharmaceutical Federation–Young Pharmacists’ Group (FIP-YPG), making history as the first African to occupy the position.

Seun won the election to chair the FIP-YPG which has been in existence since 2001, during the recently concluded Annual Congress of the International Pharmaceutical Federation (FIP) held in Dusseldorf, Germany from 29 September to 3 October 2015.

[img]http://2.bp..com/-JE0CJi2E4sc/VjyjQPVvUqI/AAAAAAAHOiM/4vwsgCsNHW4/s400/0.JPG[/img]

Omobo works as a consultant to the World Health Organization (WHO) ; managing the WHO Prequalification of Medicines Programme for Nigeria and neighboring West African countries. In 2014, her work on this project resulted in the unprecedented attainment of WHO Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) by at four pharmaceutical companies in Nigeria (SWIPHA, CHI, MAY & BAKER and EVANS).....making them eligible for procurement by international organizations including United Nations (UN) Organizations.

She also consults as an Assistant to the Director-General (NAFDAC) on technical matters.

She is an associate of the Nigerian Leadership Initiative, She is also a member of the World Economic Forum Global Shapers Community (Lagos Hub).
She is also a commissioner for the first ever Lancet Youth Commission on Essential Medicines Policies(YCEMP).

She had previously served the FIP-YPG as the Public Relations Officer(PRO) and was fundamental to the establishment of the Young Pharmacist Group Nigeria (YPG-N) in 2012 modelled after the global group.
Omobo is also responsible for the YPG-N Professional Travel Grant, which has sponsored at least 18 young Nigerian pharmacists to international trainings within the last two years.
Nigeria was a double winner at the FIP-YPG election in Germany, as another young Nigerian pharmacist, Oluwatosin Adeyemi,a beneficiary of the 2015 grant, also emerged project coordinator of the group. Adeyemi is one of the few young Nigerian pharmacists in academia. He lectures in the Department of Clinical Pharmacy, University of Lagos.

Aside winning the project coordinator position, Adeyemi also made a poster presentation on the topic: “Assessing Beliefs about Medications for Hypertension and their Impact on Adherence” during the FIP conference.

Although, the main leadership of the FIP-YPG is a team of three elected officers (chairperson, project coordinator and public relations officer) usually from different countries, Nigerians are occupying two of the positions. A young American pharmacist, Sheena Patel, was the only other non-Nigerian that emerged as winner during the elections and she is to serve as the group’s public relations officer. They all will be serving the FIP-YPG for one-year.

The FIP-YPG was established 15 years ago as a network of FIP, mandated to encourage young pharmacists to be actively involved in international pharmacy activities and also work within the sections and organisation of FIP.

Members of the FIP-YPG are recent graduates of School of Pharmacy or Pharmaceutical Sciences (within the last five years) or a pharmacist under 35 years of age.

The FIP-YPG provides a platform for connecting with young pharmacists from around the world who are seeking networks, professional innovation and support.

FIP-YPG also supports members with travel awards and research grants.

My Opinoin After The Match Of IPOB
The news of the match protest was shown on NTA but the protesters were not shown. Why? Vanguard reported of police shooting one IPOB but NTA never said that. Well it might be the ethics of reporting on the side of television stations. The road to true peace can never be through violence. Biafrans cannot feel at peace against their wish so let them enjoy that peace and of course Nigeria will also be a home of peace I pray. On the other side, you cant condemn a people and still force them under unification, to me it's like slavery in modern way. If biafrans agitate for its own state, let them have it provided they can handle it as a separate but united blessed nation. God bless us all.

Firefire:


I don't understand the rationale of your question with my post and Eleyele ni Ilu Ibadan ?


Please be explicit...?

ProfShymex:


So how are you going to plan and execute proper governance for that type of population growth?

And what infrastructures are you going to build with the meagre money that won't be overwhelmed?

IlekeHD:


I was thinking of deportation.

The more infrastructure you build, the more immigrants you attract.

Shymm3x:


In other climes, goods are shipped to the nearest port to the delivery address. I'm sure those who import goods put addresses on them. So why is it difficult to effect a policy as simple as that?

And if they don't comply and probably start using Lagos addresses. Then the onus is on them to start sending goods to their region based on the names. They need to depopulate Lagos. All these light rails or whatever would be overwhelmed by that crazy population. Especially in a country like Nigeria where maintenance culture is non-existent.
