@cryptichybee This is mob action.
He could have curtailed it and caution them.
Very unpresidential!

@Ibkzzle01 @itsmrkemji Thank you.
He had an idea of tremor and wanted to show off with half education

[Peter O. Odetola @PeterOOdetola]

@yomiakinsola @itsmrkemji He's only trying to showcase his geological knowledge here, howbeit wrongly.

He should have checked the geological/geotechnical history and possibility of occurrence in that area

Is this kind of rock/terrain susceptible to tremor?

[Ogundipe, Esq. @The_Ogundipe]

About 4 or 5 years ago, Oyo State was recruiting for the roles of prosecutors and investigators for its anti-corruption agency.

For that particular role, only 3 slots were opened, and the fact that the slots were limited, and would be competitive was what piqued my interest.

I applied. I was shortlisted for a written test, which was organised and monitored by Deloitte.

Some weeks later, I got an email that I had passed the test. I was invited for an interview. After some weeks, I got another email that I had scaled that level, too. I was then invited for another interview with subject matter experts, also organised and monitored by Deloitte.

Of course, it was Deloitte, so I didn't expect anything short of that standard. It was a session that tested both my knowledge of substantive and procedural laws on criminal prosecution. The fact that I had been a criminal defence counsel helped a lot and when recommendations to improve prosecution and achieve higher convictions in corruption cases where due were being taken, I did really great.

I passed that stage, too. I didn't need the job. I had the habit of applying for roles to test where I stand, but with the quality and process, I was already afraid that I might end up as a state prosecutor. I was impressed.

A few weeks later, Deloitte reached out to me. Again, I qualified. The chat was about salary expectations. I considered it an avenue to escape. I called what I was certain no state would pay a prosecutor. There was no indication of shock. They said they would get back.

A few days later, I was invited to a physical meeting in Ibadan. My recollection of those I was meant to meet is hazy now, but I think it was the top members of the anti-corruption agency.

It was at that point that I politely communicated that I would not be proceeding further.

My dad is over 70 and he is a retiree. He isn't partisan. Just an old man who wants a working country. He speaks glowingly of Mr. Makinde and his government. Infrastructures that past government left unattended for almost 2 decades, Mr. Makinde fixed them. His works are evident in my state and even town.

I wrote about how impressed I am with him, even when I didn't know he has any interest in becoming the president.

He's the candidate whose positive impacts in government I have seen the most. That a state as big as Oyo State could be recruiting 3 people for a role, and I made it, without having to hold the helms of a Commissioner's garment conforms with my idea of the Nigeria that I desire.

It is grossly irresponsible of anyone to link one's support for such a candidate as tribalism. I am highly disinterested in party politics, but I am not apolitical.

I have also witnessed Nigeria in more varying dimensions than most of those who tend to manipulate people through faux logic and dishonest patriotism here. The only set of people who are my senior in that regard are those who witnessed the pre-Babangida era. I may be a lad then, but my recollection of events are quite vivid.

I watched as the NTA broadcaster broke the news of General Abacha'a death. "The Head of State, General Sani Abacha is dead". I jumped up, tumbled over a stool in search of my father to break the news. I partook in the celebratory procession. It is unlikely that a post democracy child will manipulate my type in any manner on matters of politics and governance.

If the choice is about capacity, competence, and indeed a presidential material, if Mr. Makinde is not the first, then he will be second, and only to one person, Mr. Donald Duke.

I respect your tribal bias dressed as patriotism. I respect your honest ignorance of how magic could happen overnight. I appreciate your naivety. I also respect your pretence and need to say what seems popular. I do not intend to challenge them or point the flaws out. But...

Mr. Makinde is not a vote spoiler. No honest person will relegate him to that level or finger his supporters for tribalism.

[Ayobami @dondekojo]

“This is not tribal, it’s not like you gave us Seyi Makinde and we didn’t vote for him”

Oya na

[Làísì Abésùpínlẹ̀ @GangSign4]

My mother was promoted to level 16. Before Seyi Makinde I think 14/15 was the highest for teachers.

But make she no vote makinde because he betrayed Auxillary? 😂😂😂

APC people will not kill me.

[Seyi Makinde @seyimakinde]

Thank you, Bauchi for joining us to Reset Nigeria.

If you want to get out of your current life situation, you shouldn’t be worried about how long it will take to change it. You have nothing better to do than to work on something meaningful. Who cares if it takes 12 months or 12 years when it's going to be difficult either way.

@Symply_rhoda1 This your talk is unsettling my stomach...
Make I no talk sha

@JoysSparkle May God encounter you as you go to church....
You shouldn't be this bitter!

[Peter O. Odetola @PeterOOdetola]

@BlehisBack Good.

I find it difficult seeing some people being comfortable when some sets are condescending to their states.

Because of social media validation, you join them and throw your people under the bus...

Dey no send you ooo.

[Peter O. Odetola @PeterOOdetola]

@FinesseLewa You guys just throw words around carelessly.....

[Peter O. Odetola @PeterOOdetola]

@oku_yungx You people should reason what you want to tweet before tweeting it.... We are not babies here.

How are these people elected in your states?

Arrogance yi naani, doing as if you have the monopoly of making the right choice.
Emptiness is loud.

She has shared her experience, please share your Fiditi experience too and don't bully others to silence.

Hi Everyone, please I need your help.

I’ve battled Keloid since I was 2 as a result of the first ear piercing which was done at birth and was done wrongly.
My parents have gone through several options given to them and it keeps reoccurring.

I’ve done several surgical removal that I can’t even keep count both in general hospitals and private hospitals and they always finish up with kenalog as usual, I did cryotherapy for 2years with a popular Bumps clinic and the pain from the procedure almost paralyzed the left part of my body as it became weaker and I couldn’t use it, still it resurfaced.

Since 2015 I’ve been in and out of the hospital over this keloid, one general hospital suggested removing the whole ear which might cause another issue as it could still grow again.

I’ve been going through excruciating pains, every single day of my life I’m in pains, I’ve been popping painkillers like who’s taking candy, I barely sleep at night
Most days I’m awake till morning, once it’s night I get scared cos the pains becomes unbearable.
Sometimes I take sleeping pills just to get through the night.
I can’t go out, I can’t even show up for my business, my parents and siblings have had to give up their finances every single year because of me. Last year November, my sister single-handedly took care of the bills for the procedure I did.

At some point the Keloid started to accumulate abscess, it becomes so much that I’ve had to go through drainage process, I did one last year as well.
And all of these have made the keloid very aggressive and it grows faster by the day, the last removal procedure I did was in April of last year, the growth you’re seeing in frame 1 is just 1year and 7months growth which is unusually fast.

Since I finished my service year I’ve been at home because I couldn’t work with this condition, I even had to let go of a few job opportunities I was recommended for with the hope of getting this done before I fully commit.

A doctor I met recommended LASUTH earlier this year and since May I’ve been trying to get booked for surgery, initially I was booked for surgery but I wasn’t told everything it entailed, my first surgery date was September 11th and it was moved later on due to the strike.

I was opportuned to secure a consultation again with the Burns and Plastic unit (BPSU) yesterday in LASUTH and the consultant put me through everything I needed for the keloid to not reoccur.
He said I needed at least 2 Radiotherapy sessions of which one has to be done exactly 24hrs after the surgical removal and then another few weeks after.
After which I have to undergo chemotherapy and then post op care which includes injections, drugs,silicone creams, and any other recommended care.

The Radiotherapy is to be done in LUTH (I was given a reference letter for it) after making enquiries in LUTH, the estimate of one radiotherapy session was given at 2.5m, and I’ll be needing 2sessions which sums up to 5m. Then the surgery for the removal of the Keloid costs 1.2m and I’ve been able to come up with that. Then after the surgery I’m to undergo chemotherapy and post op care but I have not been told how much that would cost, so I am unsure of the entire cost of that but the estimation according to what I’ve researched is about 2m.

LASUTH have given me November 19th for my next and last consultation before the removal and this simply means I have to come up with the money for everything before then.

So in total what will be needed for the successful surgery and post op care is 8.2m of which I’ve already raised 1.2m and I’m left to source for 7m before the 19th of November.

This was really really hard for me to do as I have never done this before but this is my last resort as I have exhausted all my options and I have spent more than 6months alone trying to get booked with LASUTH.

Please help me get my life back together 🙏
Any amount will go a long way🙏
