There's a presumption that plan B has to be migration to a developed country..

But in reality, is that always the case.


I'd caution that plan B might be an awakening call to see beyond the rat race or daily rancor and move out of comfort zones.

It's sounds cruel but it's the only solution to stopping this kidnapping menace .. Kidnapping is the worst vice any society can pick up

Completely disagree..

That can only be effective when security is beefed up beyond ethnic/religious /socioeconomic divides.

and kidnapping groups or perpetrators are penalised visibly to dissuade others from criminality.

Then people trust that the system works.

Given the poorly veiled genocide that has ravaged this country for the past 2-3 yrs,
Expecting people to trust this highly partisan government, is foolhardy.

R. I. P to Ini and the countless others buried in that makeshift cemetery - some of whom we will never know, given the poor pace of investigation...

To the furore over the short and wordings

I'd say its a homophone - homonym situation here.

"Mudder" is different to "Mudder squad"
The brands available online identify with the former and the logos are very dissimilar.

I'm inclined to believe its a message to his handler(s).. Passing this phase is critical for him.

I'm not suggesting that these Fulani animals cannot attempt to attack Lagos. Of course they can attempt it, and it will be unexpected like you said, with considerable casualties. But the diversity and dynamism of Lagos would quickly come to play and you will see a spectacular recovery, a concerted effort by its teeming South/Middle-Belt population to quell the invaders. And it will be successful within a short period. I strongly believe this because I know what a resourceful, intelligent population can conjure.

About what happens to Lagos in the event of a secession. Well, not much would happen. The core of Lagos strength lies in its diversity. Lagos would be unrecognisable and utterly unproductive if you suddenly find only Yorubas living in it. Besides, you don't expect the millions of Igbos, Binis, Ijaws, Middle Beltans, etc in Lagos to pack their bags and leave because there has been a secession. They will still remain there, because after all, the trigger/aggressor of any eventual secession is the core North, so Lagos wouldn't necessarily be hostile to anyone else except the repugnant abokkis who would be ejected in their numbers.

I salute to your analysis!

Why not retrain as many of the drivers as possible . With regular updates
There could be salary deductions if unrepentant and making recurrent costly errors - - here the human capital is developed!!

Have to say the buses can be quite comfortable, with polite drivers.

You seem to be one of the few sensible medics. Perhaps, you trained or practice abroad.
Nigerian medical doctors have shown over the years that they lack the selflessness to run a robust healthcare system and I believe this is as a result of the interference of their professional union in the running of the system. They stunt the growth of our health sector!
I can only support a doctor who trained in the west -- especially one who has additional qualification in health administration and management, to lead our health sector, and even at that, he/she must distance himself/herself from NMA and their parochial interests. That's the only way they can successfully manage our health sector!

Aside my dislike for the myopic way they run our health sector, I have nothing personal against our docs.

To the above, I concur

But wonder whether the unholy matrimony with trade associations who also double as regulatory bodies, is not a response to the environmental factors..

As you would have in the honourable Law profession for instance. Even the engineers are not left out.

odiomachi:
its all but because Lagos is over hyped, with the way the eco system is going right now 70 percent of Lagos will be submerged into the Atlantic ocean in less than 50 years coming. An intelligence report made this know 2013 but tinubu and fashola made sure they scrub it of the net because of eko Atlantic failed project.

Really with the great Wall of Lagos in place.

Property disruption by previous tenants

Jman06:
On many occasions, Nigerian government had been advised to overhaul the leadership of our health sector starting from the minister of health, governing boards of healthcare institutions, leadership of tertiary healthcare institutions etc, but they seem to pay deaf ears to all the calls. Our health sector is currently managed in a cult-like manner where the medical doctors hijack all leadership positions despite not producing the desired results in terms of good healthcare delivery. They connive with their professional body; the NMA to destroy our health sector. They are placed in those leadership positions with no regards to whether they're qualified or not. Because all the medical doctors belong to the same association ie the NMA, they easily get away with professional negligence in those hospitals led by them. Only very few cases are brought to the fore. But when we have unbiased people who don't belong to same professional group, they'll run the system better. Discipline will be easier to instill and people will be on their toes to give their best.

So, government should start by changing the leadership of the health sector. People from any discipline can be appointed ministers and Commissioners of health. They maybe required to have post graduate certifications in health administration and Management and some years of experience in health administration.

You appear to have something against doctors in leadership.
That seems to be a common thread in all your comments.


I understand that hospital managers don't necessarily have to be medically trained but that's in a system that's robust enough to let doctors get on with being doctors. And there's no duality of roles.
And in those systems, the managers don't interfere with actual medical care provision - they may have an opinion but they don't interfere actively.

Governance framework devoid of personal vendetta or untoward influence exist to help minimise poor practice and improve patient safety, is the way to bring about a checking system.
The framework will be run or facilitated by someone who delivers care and fully understands the intricacies.


That is not operational here yet except in hospitals that run internal audit cycles and regular CPD/ update / simulation sessions.

With all due respect, in the current scenario, there are few qualified independent clinical pharmacists to provide an equitable service as you describe in earlier submissions, to the entire Nigerian population..


So rather than running with a self-serving ?political agenda, think of how to better the lot of most people... In a safe and consistent manner at a minimum standard.



Nothing stops you offering your services to a private hospital firm who will still require you to be supported by a medic as that's what's stipulated by law for independent practice in a hospital environment. Even in advanced climes, nonMedics who offer consultations to less complicated cases such as Physicians Assistants or Adv health practitioners work under the auspices of a medic.. How much more Naija with all due complexities.

NMA and PSN are individually fighting unqualified quacks such as theatre assistants performing surgeries just because they've seen 2 or 3 surgeries or charlatans running drug stores like roadside mini supermarkets, you want to muddy up the waters with no clear governance framework in place?!!


Abeg leave matter for Mathias!!

My dear, I'm telling you authoritatively.

The Fulani jihadists would have to conquer the rest of the country and take over government officially in Abuja... As in openly... Before conquering Lagos with the combined forces of their Fulani controlled armed forces and Fulani militia. Something like the Afghan Taliban pre-9/11. Without that, forget it.


Lagos is not 'Yoruba' Lagos. Lagos is our Lagos. Everybody's Lagos. Too many factors work to its advantage.

I posit differently

The attack will be unexpected but well-orchestrated... There have been practice runs - - Alaba, Ikota and Lasu

It would appear to be miscreants or at best some guerrilla factions with denials from highly placed citizens and high ranking government officials till when the central government's inertia is so palpable that even the blind see visions in HD!!

I hope these events don't come to pass but a heightened state of alertness must be observed to mitigate effectively.


I like your assertion.... Lagos is our Lagos.. Its everyone's Lagos

What happens in the unlikely event of secession... How will that translate



.

hedonido:


It's not gonna happen.

Lagos is totally immune from any potential Fulani invasion plans. Its versatility and diversity, with a dynamic population and with access to the seas means that any attempt by Fulani animals to launch any useless Jihad would be repelled and quelled within a matter of days.

My dear..

Your assertions on an effective defence are only fantasies..

If done transparently...
Hopefully there are lessons that can be identified.
