Nursing and Midwifery council of Nigeria is a place full of grievious,calous, outrageous, old faggots.Instead of those lame dumbass contesting how to elevate the nursing&midwifery certificate to a standard, they'r there denying schools the oppurtunity of being accredited.Its a shame.That's why nursing profession will remain crippleD&nurses being the most important personell in d hospital will remain at the bottom of the ladder eventhough they're being overused and underpaid.

there can't be no meaningful democracy without the freedom of the press-both the print and electronic. Just like the three branches, freedom of the internet is also an essential characteristic of a demacratic that can bring the inevitable change administration through the right way. President Jammeh should stop restricting the media just to keep himself in power.

RUDIMENT OF MOCKERY TO MORALITY

Could trimmed of higher understandings set a person on to the scale of unfair treatment by our today’s difficult politicians and public representatives? Most probably but fairness indeed is by God-Almighty and that I must say as we learned and loved. But certainly by Him (God-Almighty) alone one must relayed upon whatever the outcome of dialogue in conveying the virtuous truth. So have faith and fear no other but in God-Almighty alone and as for such is what one must advice with certainty.

My statements are trimmed as always and as publicize in general terms rather than for one particular person. Once they, the individuals of today contemplated on the truths found in my unforgiving declarations, they have only to realize the peace within candor to pick and to sort out the guilty complex found embodied in their ways of life.

Many Government officials are common deficiently as we have witnessed and as frequent as it is today. By which I mean they have always kept themselves to their own amusement by stating publicly something of the ordinary as logical as the public needed to know their agendas for sorting out the welfare of overriding majority, which are the weaker population in their territories. But contradiction to that of what they had sworn to undertake or promised to fulfilled or broadcast in public could be their desires of activities.

Loads of administration officials, politicians and government leaders in particular are often but as always keen more in grueling the consciences of those conscientious people like I the Pragmatic by pleasing the persons they are frightened of ‘selflessly’ of course. Taken into account also are their friends and people of their ardent as due to family or clan relationship, rather than the very ordinary of many weak or poor of whom the importance, the privileges and the prime objectives of their authority should be right and proper for, but as well must be the claimant of the first place if success in any of their authorities are to be determined.

It is as obvious as all their secrets would be revealed since they, the public figures of today’s generation cannot stop being deceptive, and be it in their thoughts, language or activities, hidden or unveil, at distance or nearby and as constant as before hence it is the same things echoing as we are kept to the awareness of their ill-fated ways of life.

Those Shyatanic entrepreneurs, (those governments, politicians, public figures and leaders I mean) have gratify themselves with the spoils of this world by constantly looking after themselves, their distant or close family links, friends and their fearsome people, while with the negligence to those of whom should deserve a better treatment.

That still be around though, hence for the same reasons that depriving people of virtue their own rights for abuse of power, passing mistreatment to those defiant due crick or discomfort, exploitation of the poor and capitalizing on the desperate needy, oppression on the hopes of those vulnerable have been the trail of affairs in our public domains by today’s cowardly and unforgiving public figures and politicians in general.

They have carried on despite myriad or countless of their failings on public demands. They have the desires of building adorable palaces, skyscrapers and enterprises for their own-selves thinking their living in this World would be eternal. They have keep entitling themselves with flamboyant existences without ending in measures while many of their mediocre or subordinates undergoes helplessness from their authority. They have as seen cherishing themselves, their families and friends with the blood, sweat and tears of the poor as the impoverishment or destitution of those perseveres in the minutes.

The dilemma course in stabbing the public they govern or rule by illegally digging deep from the public funds for their love ones and the unlawfully staging of public funds to their name chanting maniac, baloney intimates and etc are rudiments of mockery to morality. Its stimulate and would exacerbate their ruins to set forth for them, as we have and would continue to set our eyes on that as far as they be persistent in the life style of Shyatanism which they desired with self-esteems.

They, the same politicians and etc have made it their business and somewhat, their ambition too to be always threatening with dreadfulness to those or who ever wants to challenge their credibility with regards to the unmerited dealings of public affairs. At the same time, we are as made aware of the fact that these many public representatives are sitting on the edges of fears of being terrify incase and that is due to their own know slapdash attitude. But even though, changing their ill manners for better are things of hesitancy in their minds.

If the trauma of its rareness is plummeting on to them as a consequence, no person must consider it as something of the exceeding of punishment from THE ONE capable of anything (God-Almighty). And that could mostly be sooner than foretell hence patience is a virtue but realizing and practicing endurance must also be the continuous manners and the daily conducts of those vulnerable.

Just as essential as my position is in our modern society, (by the grace and the help from God-Almighty) I would remain edifyingly decisive so long as the dealings of those vulnerable are outrageously at flaw by those in power and the I able folks.

Ofcourse President Jammeh is unshakeable since he controls all political structures down there in The Gambia. He silences any politian who say anything against through abducting and jailing. When people who are potential sucessful political candidates are scared that when the speak and spend money their families might not see them again. I'm speaking from experiance, then the president will never be challeged by viable candidates. People should be left to speak their mind, support their candidate of choice freely without any consequences. When this happen, President Jammeh will be shakeable. Trust me! But scare tactis works, and is the president's only political strategy

Could it not mean to you that you had been doped Mr. Burry Abraham?

Oh, also Mr. Burry Abraham or now known as the Little Roman Soldier, could you please stop the profiling of your wacky-self over and again here? I mean all your that “I am this and that stuff” and together with your pompous behaviors, because it could be nagging for those readers of the comments here. And stop giving us the stressing on your Gambian originality hence we have by now confirmed whom you are based on the typical back-warded attitude that you have been presenting and as of its rarity in our friendly family and Gambian people.

I am now in your circle of terror Mr. Burry Abraham, but you have the absolute right to decide when you want me to stop electrifying with your common deficiency of moral in our public domain as you now becoming unstoppable.

Let I the Pragmatic put on the light for you Mr. Burry hence you should not persist living in the dark like the way you insisting on doing right now. You have gone so temperamental since my initial portrayal of you and your behavior here. You have also kept on expressing yourself more dramatically than one with sense of right and wrong. Have you not realized how you’ve been sounding like a junkyard throughout and in all your recent postings Mr. Bury Abraham?

I believe you should be saying Yahiya Jammeh is your uncle instead of saying he is your president. Cam-on Mr. Abraham, just say it now to stop you from being ridiculous. That way the American officials could easily workout for the reasons why you are on hiding in their territory and would then consider acting on grounds of humanity to grant you the indefinite stay you have been desperate for all this years.

We all know the fact that Abdul-Assize Yahiya is a philanthropist in term of Presidency as he had now forgiven many folks of whom had been unruly to him or his government if with regards to political affairs but given the right mind to consider our Gambian traditions while someone like you Burry are persistently being unruly to his uncle as such, if you say to someone that you cannot go back to the Gambia because Jammeh is your uncle and you are the most rowdy youngster ever to be given birth in your family, no one would wonder why he kicked you out of your home but also out of the country in the first place.

Confused like no other person than you are Mr. Burry, while nothing like you have so far ever existed in reality and in this planet earth, who advice you to call me your friend whereas you’ve kept on duplicating your efforts to turndown my offers for decency in manners within our dialogues as for the definitive Gambian family members as we are and you being insulting to me hence you cannot find fame in my intelligence for the virtuous truth, and because no one like I The Pragmatic had ever became your parent or guardian during your upbringing which had constituted to your ill-manners towards me and any honest person trying to serve righteousness for humanity sake.

I think Babou Jobe is insaned. Are you kiding me? Gambians have been grow maize (corn) to the best of their ability ever since. It is the government the should intervene instead to held ordinary folks to make maize growing more productive. Equipment such fertilizer, new corn breeds that are more adaptable to the Gambian environmental conditions should be introduced to make corn cutivation more worthwhile. Hence the creation of Babou Jobe's department (NARI), which has been failing its obligation to the Gambian people ever since its creation. Finally, I thank The Gambian people for having record rice harvest arguably for the past three years with limited government assistance. But dot not get satisfied untill there is enough Gambian produced rice for single Gambian year round.

African union should be talking about not only how to grantee food self sufficience to the african people but proper balance diet to all africans especially women and children. This leads to healthy african bodies and mind that can handle the challenges of the twenty first and beyong. Information and communication technologies is important, but africans need to be innovator in that sector and not only consumers as we are today. The reason for that is, malnurishment leads to weak mindedness, which leads poor human resources. The consequence of which is our lagging behind on sectors of this globlized world.

You are gunning for some agenda I am not interested to know. Looks like my last response never made it here, won't be so fast to point fingers but I am just as curious as to why not. The pragmatic you have been dressing up your mouth and betting your money where your mouth isn't.

For someone who does not know me to be attacking my character goes a long way say the untold. You're just a sad little pathetic man aching for praise and a pat on the back. Well, good for you, at least such admission will exonerate your ego.

I am not scared or embarrassed to be below anybody, whatever place I maybe placed I am happy to have hold of my humanity. I am able to identify myself within what I have got and won't let anyone take advantage of that.

You're so pretentious, you really have nothing to say. The only thing you do is keep creating phony essays that is trying so hard to dissect my character, if only you knew me. So keep writing and lying to yourself 'cuz I am untouched. I like to keep things short, simple and sweet 'cuz for all the babbling and ho-hum you've been performing does not close to rattling my interest in what you have to say. So i really hope these responses are not being intentionally deleted. I will be so glad that is the case 'cuz if it is I have things to say to you that I could not for the respect of our decent readers here. I don't want another Abu Sanyang episode where I went loose on language.

Your langauge and expressions are mediocre, sometimes its like being lost in translation. By the time you catch steam, the essentials have already been lost and all you are always left with is your frustration, anger and resentment for what I stand for. You will do too well, to understand that I am not an ordinary kid. Not least concerned about your age, wisdom, technical and mental ability which frankly is seriously deficient. So I really do hope that someone is maliciously deleting my messages. My files are being digitally signed and record for record keeping purposes so, if there is an indication of some kind of manipulation to cheat me out of this bottomless arguments.

The pragmatic, maybe you need to spell out how exactly nice you have been nice to me. It's confusing to lay a finger on this "niceness" you have been so kindly talking about. If anyone, is being civil here that would be me. I keep insisting that you quit calling me names and allow me to state my free will. You have no right(s) to insult my free will, President Jammeh is my leader and I will question his judgement however I see fit, however many times I wish to. If you find that boring, disrespectful, offensive... would be your choice to see it that way. Cannot tell, how many times I had tried to spell it out to you like a child, yet, you kept on dressing up your mouth with colorful langauge. Calling me doped, druggist, and so many other insanely unfit characteristics of my aptitude.

We should both let our idealism die in their own merit, as, you my friend, when it comes to menntal analytical skills - you lacked.

You are so egotistic and you need your ego checked, what within here that I could not take and that its getting to me...so puzzling. Frankly, could not lay a finger on what I could not take from you 'cuz in the first place, you lack morals and let's your pride get the better of you - Back alley crab muffin.

Reasons that you're finding it hard to simply understand my view point is your ego is deeply cut through. You must heal from it before anyone is able to knock any sense into you. This discussion isn't about winning, the last word, or how crazy or dumb one is. It's about who has the right to call to order of the Gambian leadership and how much. The thesis and dessertations you keep putting up here, though they tend to make sense but they seriously are truth and fact deficient.

Pharm Jimmy Olu Coker sir (Mr President ),
I recognize your busy schedule and your administrative burden sir. I am really suspecting that the poor performance in the last WAPCP part 2 exam might have come from some sectors in the multiple choice Q that contained significant errors in the instructions given to them. My close friend was privileged to be among the very few that were given the verbal “tick the odd answer” instruction which actually did not appear in the question paper.
It’s rather unfortunate for me, for I am billed to leave the country to meet my family before November.
Quite a number of students surely would have passed the exam if those obscure sections were deleted and marks reworked. Am afraid, if this is not done, I may be forever an unhappy person in the overseas more so that I may not have any other opportunity to complete my fellowship course in Nigeria. There should be a place in our bye laws that addresses this issue.
More grace to your elbow Mr President as you look into this issue with the view of resolving it.

Dear President Jimmy Coker,

Thank you for your fatherliness at the WAPCP. I wish to inform you that it is rather unfortunate to discover anomalies and obscurity in the manner the past part 2 MCQ were set.

It was observed right in the exam hall in Lagos in November 2009, was reported and rather for the correction to be made openly, few privileged students got wind of the verbal instruction from the examiner and the others failed because they were confused. Those questions were not properly proofread before they were distributed to students and in my opinion the whole idea was meant to fail students. Please see for yourself those questions, especially the HIV, Drug Policy section. They were up to 30 in number. Sir, you are the father of all and it will be good to deal decisively with the issue before long and before the graduation ceremony 2010, otherwise many students protesting verbally since November will be victimized if they dare sit for another exam in the year 2010.

Outright cancellation of the MCQ exam is recommended if those papers would not be reworked or remarked. Thank you.

Friday Message 15th January 2010.

Generosity of the mind is forever rewording, and could be at various in features of profiting either with or without the generous person’s consciences. By that I mean, the loving of kindness to people and other pieces or acting on behalf of generosity by caring for those your right hand can reach is in another level of spreading the truth, virtue and tolerance, but it’s also for the clearance of our uncertainties.

Those but generous in their endeavors, and eager not to fail in sanity by caring for the living beings as much as they could while they can, would always be remembered by every creature whom would as well sustain prayers for them in this life and after time as such is the least of rewords that God-Almighty has primed in their case.

THE BLACK SLAVE AND HIS DOG; A short tail from our rich Islamic Studies is here but also to endorse soberness for those who have wisdom.

Abdullah Ibn Ja’far who owned an orchard was one day onto visits it. On the passing to get there, he came across an Estate where he saw a black slave sitting down with his dog and was with some bread in his hands. As Abdullah watched, the man took a piece of bread and gives it to his dog which it ate and was fed as such until the bread was finish.

“How much bread are you given every day”? Abdullah then asked the man. “The little amount that you show when I was feeding my dog, is the quantity I get each day”, the man answered. “Why did you give it the dog instead of attending to yourself first as you seem very exhausting with hunger”? Abdullah asked again. “There are no dogs hereabouts’ and this one had came from a very far distance and it’s hungry, because of that I desire not to eat but feed it with my daily meal”, replied the man. “But how would you manage for the rest of the day then?” Abdullah asked over again. “I shall bare the hunger,” the man answered again.

Abdullah was so amazed for how generous the guy was. He asked himself while in thoughts, ‘if I am the one with the reputation in my county for generosity, yet this destitute person was very kind to an animal as such and up to the extend of being more philanthropic than I, then what is my reputation for?’

Abdullah purchased the whole Estate and give it to that very destitute slave with a bunch of funds, of course, but previous to that also and after his wisdom ‘Abdullah Ibn Ja’far’ did not make any hesitancy in paying for the man’s freedom in currency and releasing him from the heartless master who was custodian of the man’s affairs at that time.

Hello President Coker,

You may not be aware of this information yet but I write anonymously for you to properly investigate the matter before graduation ceremony 2010 of the WAPCP and for fear of being victimized. The part 2 2009 Multiple Choice Questions contained many serious flaws and the exam should be declared null and void. There were no instructions guiding many questions. Please quietly call for the papers and check up the Millennium Development Goals and HIV sectors to discover the truth about this claim. We don’t know whether it was a deliberate act to fail students this year. It was such an exam that was not free and fair on all. The articles of the WAPCP constitution suggests that matters like this be seriously handled by the council on the recommendation of the exam court.

Am not sure the court would be willing to take this risk. Please use your good office to wisely annul those papers if extra marks would not be given across board to cover up for the obvious anomaly. We are eternally grateful to you dear President.
