RETURNOFENDSARS:
I'm a lawyer, called in 2016. I'm married with a kid and I'm in my early 30s. My wife is not working, so I have been the one shouldering the responsibility, despite that, God has given me my own house. Three bedrooms flat in front and three bedrooms flat at the back, all with full pop, water heater, full tiles, in fact all the modern facilities.
In all honesty I made between 600k-1.5m per month.

Just of recent, the zeal to Japa to Canada has been on my mind through school route. I currently have like 7m in my and I know I could raise it till 15m before the end of the year. The cost of schooling keep giving me issue. How will someone travel abroad and spend over 15m when I could used the money to buy hostel from people who desperately needs money or invest in real estate.

Another concern of mine is that the future of legal profession is reducing because of the amount clients are paying particularly in the area of agreement and other things.

Definitely, I won't be selling the house if I decide to relocate, the rent from the two flats will go to my mom and the least could only be 500k per year. I won't have issues sending money at home.

Please, I really need advice from lawyers that are there, how do you cope migrating. Is it advisable I leave, if yes, what are the first things I might encounter, if am relocating it will be with my family. I just don't want to regret relocating. The exchange rate is just too much

Lol sorry am asking for a favour when you're seeking advice. Can you help me certify some of my documents? Its part of my own requirements. They are to be certified by a solicitor or notary public. I'll appreciate your response at least, thanks

Please if you're a lawyer and can do this kindly indicate

port ID (driver's license or driver's license, any govt issued ID)
Valid phone number
Valid email address

I really thank God for this man. Waking up every morning to this man and his works in my state has given my no other option than to go on my knees and cry "Thank you Lord"

And how many goats, chicken and rabbits do you have?

TheTraveler:


Whether it’s owned by a Nigerian or not. The point is that they’re getting heavy funding, they partnered with MasterCard.

Lol... that should be your least concern.
You should be focused on how to make the best out of it

100 Days In Office: Otti Dragging Abia Into Multi-Dimensional Poverty

By Uche Aguoru

Ordinarily, Mr Alex Otti who got into office as governor and chief security officer of Abia state on the 29th of May 2023 will have been in office for 100 days, a lifelong ambition which Mr Otti pursued for 8 years and only succeeded in his 3rd attempt.

My concern here is not the length of time, the notion of 100 days in office, or even how much has been achieved or what has been gained and lost.

I am only assessing Otti's government on the strength of his background as an economist and ex-banker, his highfalutin promises to Abians in all these years he has begged for an opportunity, his promises of economic prosperity way above what was experienced by the previous istrations, his overall performance within the period he has governed, and public expectations.

And sadly I have to announce to Abians that the honeymoon they erroneously threw themselves into on the 29th of May 2023 is anything but over and gone.

The foundation of any serious istration should have been laid within the period of the first 100 days in office, which includes moving into office, appointment of key officers, and giving policy blueprints on general istration, health, education, works, housing, agriculture, and especially economy, amongst others.

As of today, the only component that Gov. Otti brought on board is the notion of probing/ recovery of misappropriated public funds and assets which was warmly welcomed by every well-meaning Abian including yours sincerely but sadly the probe from conception lacks genuine sincerity of purpose, a product of a witch hunt only targeted at perceived political enemies, and it has led the istration into making avoidable mistakes of sealing peoples legally acquired estates for lack of proper investigation.

The Otti istration has no known policy direction across all sectors, it is still in a trial-and-error approach and has only succeeded in the blame game, bitterness, vendetta, and witch-hunting without a defined developmental roap and sadly some experienced senior civil servants that would have guided his government properly were illegally disengaged and today a deputy director is now heading a civil service where we have Permanent secretaries

ROADS CONSTRUCTION: Despite receiving over 60 billion Naira from the federal government in less than 3 months, the Otti istration has yet to show any remarkable effort, the only road construction the Otti istration has so far undertaken is the completion of a few internal roads initiated by the Ikpeazu istration and left at different stages of completion before the coming of the Otti istration, the only original road project so far conceived by the Otti government is the 6 lanes less than one and a half kilometer OSSA to Okpara square, a road that attracts no economic value which the state government said it will expend a record sum of over 15 billion Naira on.

ECONOMY: A few months before the coming of the Otti istration the National Bureau of Statistics, NBS, the Nigerian government's foremost rating agency conducted its periodic surveys to determine the level of growth, development, decline, and other variables across the board and from many angles and statics released in its 2022 Multidimensional Poverty Index, MPI which was conducted across the 36 states of the federation and the FCT based on four key sectoral indices namely; education, health, security, and standard of living across 15 indicators: namely nutrition, food security, time to health, school attendance, years of schooling, school lag, water, water reliability and sanitation, housing materials, cooking fuel, assets, unemployment, underemployed and security shocks.

The summary shows that Abia State was one of the best five States in the federation after Lagos and Ogun States and the best in the Southeast, The survey which is usually conducted using data from the World Bank, was done during the terminal days of the last istration, the NBS and the federal government relied on clinically sourced data and reliable statistics based on verifiable indices thereby making their releases authentic and faultless. and today the once robust economically viable state of Abia just a few months ago before the coming of the Otti istration has become the headquarters of hunger in the federation and is now ranked amongst the poorest states because of the massive sacking of legitimately engaged civil servants thereby swelling the already high number of unemployed people in the state, lack of functional local government istration has completely demobilized effects of economic activities of government at the grassroots, unstable or outright lack of clear economic policy direction that has brought government business in ministries, departments, and agencies to a dangerous standstill, non-payment of workers' salaries, especially in local governments, departments and agencies of government, geometric rise in insecurity which has brought the activities of SME,s to an all-time dangerous low never experienced in Abia.

As of today, the effects of poor governance can be seen and felt on many fronts but the most and easily identifiable is the reinforcement of poverty, needless to remind us that it has hindered economic growth and may lead to ruin if aggressive economic and human-faced measures are not immediately put in place.

TRANSPARENCY: One area the Otti istration campaigned seriously, is on transparency, Mr. Otti while begging for an opportunity told Abians that he would run a transparent istration and reduce the cost of governance, Going by his promises Abians expected more from Otti in the area of transparency, and reduction in the cost of governance but shockingly Abians have been kept in the dark and are unaware of how much that has accrued to the State as there seems to be a formal policy of secrecy in the states finances, the procurement process is done in secret and contracts are awarded without due process, today the Governor is the procurement and transport officer and recently he openly confirmed to the world how he personally made efforts to procure Innoson vehicles neglecting due process, the governor has not also told Abians what he has been using the JAAC funds which the FG releases monthly for the running of the local government istration since there is no Local Government istration in Abia either the elected or the Transitional Committee in place.

It is public knowledge that Governor Otti comes to work from Abuja and on each trip, he parks a private jet at the Owerri airport and heads to his Umuehim Nvosi, Isiala Ngwa South home where he holds meetings including State Executive Council Meetings, each of the trips allegedly costs Abia an average of 18 million Naira and this frequentative trip which is repeated 3 days in a week is a clear case of squandering taxpayers’ resources on his ostentatious lifestyle that is gulping billions of naira amidst grave concerns of widespread poverty and insecurity in the state.

SECURITY: A survey carried out by Global Rights, an international human rights organization, Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) analyzed by The Cable Index, the data and research arm of The Cable on the death rate resulting from violent crimes in Nigeria in the last three years (2020, 2021 and 2022), placed Abia as the least affected in of violent crimes.

The survey recorded a total of 1,178 deaths in the southeast due to violent crimes within the period in review (2020, 2021, and 2022) with Abia recording just 72, Imo – 183, Ebonyi – 391, Enugu – 215, and Anambra – 317. This record is just a testament to the the Ikpeazu istration placed on the security of the lives and properties of Abians, The Ikpeazu istration received various local and international accolades for its efforts in securing Abia and Abians but sadly today Abians are dying in their numbers and many are being kidnapped on a daily basis and the Otti istration, seem not to care or are at a loss on how to tackle insecurity despite the promises to secure and protect the lives and properties of Abians but like payment of salaries/pensions, waste management, Julius Berger and other promises, the security of Abians has been left to fate and in the hands of God and I am sure if the survey is conducted using current statistics Abia will be topping the list of the least secured states in the southeast because of the astronomical surge in kidnapping, armed robbery, Unknown gunmen, Snatching of Vehicles, burglary, and destruction of innocent lives and properties.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT ISTRATION: With a hundred days gone In Mr. Alex Otti's istration there is no local government istration in place in Abia state, This very important tier of government which is saddled with the role of bringing the government nearer to the people and allows for popular participation in politics by reducing the centralization of power in the center, provides an organized system where councils exercise their power and responsibilities and manages the affairs of a locality through planning, organizing, staffing, controlling, coordinating, and budgeting in different Local governments is no longer active only in Abia out of the 36 states of the federation including the FCT, federal allocations due to the LG,s are not being ed for and the local government workers are not being paid, it is alleged that Gov. seized the seals of the 17 LGAs. and I dare ask Mr. Governor where is the money meant for the development and running of the 17 LGAs?

THE LEGISLATURE: It is not enough that Governor Otti not only suppressed the standing rules of the house, but he also went ahead to intimidate the and personally ensured that the minority LP took the leadership of the House. He further desecrated the global order of the legislature by installing someone from the minority LP of 10 in a PDP dominated house as the majority leader an arithmetics that scholars are still battling to solve and today the vibrancy that is usually seen in the Abia State House of Assembly is dead and my Governor has succeeded in making the 8th Assembly a rubber-stamp legislature where he remotes their activities from the comfort of his bedroom.

CIVIL SERVICE: The civil service also received its own share of destruction from the Otti istration, the Ikpeazu istration initiated and pursued civil service reform through the introduction of biometric accreditation which was aimed at ensuring discipline and productivity in the civil service but with a human face and in total reverence to the rules governing the civil service knowing that it is an essential organ of the executive arm of government while agreeing that further reforms are still needed, the introduction of draconian measures and total disregard to laws guiding the civil service has further exposed the inexperience of Mr. Alex Otti in public istration, though many are of the opinion that it was as a result of the bitterness and mindset of vengeance with which Mr. Otti came into power with.

The Otti istration has completely demonstrated total disregard for the extant rules of the civil service by the mindless sacking of thousands of Abians legitimately engaged in the civil service, forcefully suspending Permanent Secretaries without establishing any infractions, queries, or recommendations by a disciplinary committee and till date no official communication or letters issued to that effect, he also violated the public service ethics by appointing a Deputy Director as Head of Service in a system that has serving Permanent Secretaries and Directors and what we operate in Abia today is an inappropriate organizational structure. where a PermSec will now take instructions from a Deputy Director and the resultant effect has been unproductive work operations, lack of competent leadership, etc.

Not surprisingly though, policy inconsistency, lack of direction, and profligacy have defined the Alex Otti istration. the governor has built around himself a strong individual whose subjects, personal aides, and every government functionary are afraid to approach and has deliberately succeeded in rendering every institution of government weak and in most cases non functional.

Let me conclude by honestly saying that Governor Otti's first 100 days in office have indeed betrayed his ill-preparedness, incompetence, and ineptitude, for an office he has spent his entire life running for and regrettably the honeymoon that Abians threw themselves into has ended in a sour taste.

May Abia Succeed

Writes From Umuahia

Who paid you this boy!
Is it the same Abia state that people are happy with the new istration?
Nawa o
He's even talking of the former gov that owed civil servants 24 months salary. Truly some humans are witches and wizards in disguise. Tuaaaah!

Update from Ehi road A by Asa.

Yesterday's post was from Ehi road B

Welldone bro

Umueme:


Don't you think that posting this pictures real time helps people measure how fast or good the work/ project is?

Please continue with your good works, always keep us who are not around posted.
God's blessings

Enugupikin:

I'm not in the health sector but what that guy wrote is true. An Optometrist is a not a medical doctor.

Our Nigerian doctors are doing wonders abroad stop the jealousy.

Anywhere in the world you want to practice and you didn't train there you must be screened to obtain their licence, like going from china or UK or USA. You must be daft not to know this

Again stop the jealousy for those guys

Its just simple, could you please show me where in the post or the thread caption that stated she was a medical doctor?

Tilewizy:



Once again we are deeply sorry for the loss of a human being in that tragic manner.

But then again,

All what the person did I believe was to enlighten people on the right terminologies, to educate people.

The people on the street may not be able to differentiate, so long as they hear the word doctor.

That's why this is necessary.

Its just not so appropriate using the demise of a person as an avenue.

PhD is Doctor of Philosophy, known to be the highest educational qualification especially when one is in the academia as lecturers.

This is different from M.D medical doctor.

Only those who train or study medicine and surgery (MBBS - Bachelor of medicine, Bachelor of Surgery), and Dental Science (BDS - Bachelor Dental Science) and those with degree in Vetiniary medicine in clinical settings are regarded as doctors.

An Opthalmologist is, a medical doctor who has already received his basic training as a medical doctor, and goes for a further study in eye related diseases and acquires the skills to perform surgery in the human eyes and treat other eye related diseases.
He is regarded as the highest in the area of eye problems. He is the one to be sought for when eye diseases arises, of course after one must have ed his family physician (GOPD - General doctor), who then assesses the individual and refers the person to the Opthalmologist if need be.


A lawer who studies law and attends law school is regarded as Barrister, why are those who study Criminology not addressed as such? yet they also work in the court?

An Architect who study Architecture and does his masters before even graduating from the university are regarded as Architect. Why are those who study Quautity survey, Building and all other related courses not regarded as Architect?, despite having interrelated courses whils in their training.

So I believe the same goes with the aforementioned.


These terminologies are important to differentiate so people don't get confused and seek help when they need to and it be rendered appropriately.


O.D means Bachelor degree in Optometry.
The Doctor of Optometry they bear as I know isn't regarded as such.


An Optician is techinal skill worker who is equipped with the know how of making lens and their frames, in other words (eye glasses).

And of course their are nurses that are focused only in eye condition, though still have thier basic training in general nursing care.


As for the screening and all for Medical doctors from Nigeria to any other country, that's is a global practice.


Nigerians who study medicine out side the country who return home to practice and get licenses, must under take the Nigerian medical exams here.
And same goes to those who are relocating from Nigeria to other countries.

The issue also of this isn't the case abroad, isn't completely true. The same is issue of battling for so much relevance is every where.

Please, let's all be guided.

Wo where in the post did OP or the poor lady said she was a medical doctor?

APOPTOSIS:
I deeply sympathetise with her family over this avoidable carnage & death . People should be taught to know when to run way with their lives intact.
Leaving your marriage is not a recipe for disaster.
No one on this planet has ever been reported to have died as a result of being SINGLE.
Avoid any form of Toxic Relationship, not even the one coming from your spouse or sibling.

By the way, she is not a Medical Doctor...
She's an Optometrist
An optometrist is completely different from an ophthalmologist who happens to be the Medical Doctor.
Optometrist acquired an O.D.
Ophthalmologist acquired MD, M.B.,B.S, or M.B.,B.Ch
Nigerians should learn the right terminologies & observe the distinguishing features especially when paramedics & allied medical staff come close to try deceiving them.

Same goes to Nigerian Optometrists who always want to be addressed as surgeons. Please stop distorting an already distorted nation only to continue blaming Buhari/Tinubu.

Again, people should be proud of their courses of study. After all, no single Medical Doctor has made it to the Aso Villa as President or the table of world's Billionaires meanwhile, others have.

You should be ashamed of yourself. If her certificates reads OD which i found out to be Doctor of Optometry what are you now ranting about? If people with PhD bear the title and you don't complain what more of someone with it stated in his cert?
I think this is why the Nigerian healthcare is in shambles. Leaving Ds and opportunities to meet up to the trending global standard in healthcare and be fighting over titles .
I think this is one of the reasons our Nigerian Doctors are screened and rescreened again before allowing to practice in other countries.
The average blackman is striving for just 2 letter abbreviations while his value and competence keeps decreasing. Who do us this thing for God's sake

BigCowHornn:


And I'm sending you to him. Be in your way now.

Now i understand your grade. Take care

BigCowHornn:


Please help us answer the very important and 'nice' question people here want to know because my big cow prick won't help you salvage your reputation IN ANY WAY.


Below is the 'nice' question again in case you missed it.

I'm asking you not him.

BigCowHornn:



Oh, Robnectar: can never debunk it but he will be running to pillar to post with all kinds of excuses.

The fraud will be like 'I'm too big to respond'.. but then this is the same person who runs around insulting and trolling people with multiple monikers like the lowlife he really is. Yet wants another to spend time explaining that complicated nonsense he calls a life.

I can write all of this off but i want everyone to know who he really is. THAT IS WHY I AM HERE.

So why not narrate how you were scammed by him if true. Perhaps others could learn from it.

Make una de rest small small. Heard SEC stroke a deal with Binance US. I don't see binance going down anything. It'll be a huge blow to the US as it'll discourage foreign investors and moreover the fact that many started questioning if SEC was an institution that should help regulate and ensure best practices or is now an institution that destroys investment has gone a long way to unsettle them. They never expected this.
