France Accused Of Sponsoring
Boko Haram With The Ultimate
Aim Of Invading Nigeria

Gradually the truth is coming out. What do France and America want from Nigeria that's making them to sponsor boko haram (and possibly, Sahara reporters)?

Jega claimed he was ready to conduct the election on February 14th yet millions of eligible voters have not gotten their pvcs. From all indications, there's deliberate attempt to disenfranchise millions of pro GEJ supporters. Jega should explain why some pvcs are not ready.

I want to believe that Sahara reporters crew know much about boko haram. They have a way of tarnishing the image of the Nigerian Army each time they make progress as if they are trying to protect the interest of the terrorists' sponsors. In fact, it's possible Sahara reporters and boko haram are sponsored by the same persons or groups. Read the last paragraph and you will understand.

barcanista:
I don't hate Igbos but there are areas I don't agree on. Sometimes I go extreme which is a shame. Some other times I reat based on the action of some people towards me.

OK. Points noted and taken in good faith.

Barca, you are a man of honour. I respect your sincerity and you've won an admirer. But I still don't know why you don't like Igbos. No matter your reason, I still respect you.

FRONT PAGE PLEASE.
My vote goes to 'the clueless one'. He has done well despite numerous forces against him.

seunmsg:
Nonsense report. Nigerians, irrespective of religious and ethnic divide will vote en mass for GMB in the next presidential election. PDP can continue to sponsor all this useless propaganda but the truth is, Nigerians are not buying their poo. Change is inevitable in 2015.

You are on your own. Speak for yourself.

This thread alone shows that Buhari supporters are few. If you are a supporter of Buhari, register your presence here. I want to see where those 'likes' come from.

op, what u listed is entirely your opinion. Of all the newly released music videos in the past one month, P-square shekini is the most watched in Africa which has over 1.5 million views on YouTube in 5 weeks. The song is do.pe!

This article is worth reading. It's an eye-opener to America's hypocrisy.

Nigeria: Why America is confused
on october 13, 2014 at 12:57am


By Ochereome Nanna
“A year ago, I would have said that they (Boko Haram) were
religiously motivated. But as they killed more and more Muslims,
it’s hard for me to believe that they are motivated by religion. Who
are these guys and what do they want? I don’t think we really
understand them”. – Mr James Entwistle, US Ambassador to
Nigeria.
Entwistle, the ebullient and dynamic Chief Envoy of America here
reportedly made this assertion in a media briefing at a private
university in Yola, Adamawa State, when asked why his country
was blocking efforts by Nigeria to procure arms and ammunition to
tackle the Islamist insurgency in the North East. He also alleged
that his country’s reluctance to sell crucial military equipment to
Nigeria was based on what he described as “human rights
violations” by the Nigerian military personnel.
I find this very interesting and surprising, indeed. I recall that on Wednesday, November 13, 2013, the United States Government,based on the recommendations of the Bureau of Counter-Terrorism, finally – if belatedly – designated
Boko Haram as one of the 63-odd Foreign Terrorist Organisations,
FTOs, active around the world, most of them Islamist groups
which regard the US and the West as their primary enemies.
Usually, when a group is so designated, the American government
applies a number of sanctions aimed at crippling them, including
cutting off their network of financial supply and even going as far
as providing military support toward either eradicating them or
forcing them to change their ways. Instances have also occurred
where many organisations have been removed from the US
register of FTOs when they scale down their terrorist approach.
Well, if America says they don’t know who these Boko Haram nuts
are, let me remind them. Even the US has frequently linked Boko
Haram to the Al Qaeda Network, which is principally behind
murderous Islamist rebels in Somalia, Mali, the Maghreb, Yemen
and the biggest of them all, the Islamic State in the Levant, ISIL,
threatening the territorial integrity of Syria, Iraq and Turkey. This is
the group that has killed more than 10,000 innocent Nigerians in
their places of worship, mostly churches and to a much lesser
extent, mosques. They have killed military, security and police
personnel, including some high-ranking Islamic clerics and
traditional rulers.
They have destroyed towns, burnt down schools and sacked
villages. They were the ones who abducted the Chibok school girls,
whom they have held in captivity for about 180 days. Today, these
guys whom Entwistle say “we don’t know”, have captured and
occupied territories which they claimed as “Islamic Caliphate”.
They have been slitting throats of men, women and children,
cutting hands and forcing single young women into marriages in
line with their warped interpretation of Islam.
As for what they want, there is no mystery about it. They say they
don’t want the Western system of living because, according to
them, it is “evil” and does not allow them to practise their religion.
They say they don’t want Western education, and have accordingly
been destroying schools and killing teachers and medical
personnel working to eradicate polio. By claiming an “Islamic
Caliphate”, they obviously want to overthrow the more
accommodating Islamic order in the North to set up a new system
that will impose Islam on people and, like the ISIL, kill those who
say no to them.
How can America, with all its power and technology, claim they
don’t know who these people are? Is Entwistle saying that just
because Boko Haram is killing Muslims along with Christians, their
sins are less? It would have been more if they killed only
Christians? Is it not sufficient that these guys are murdering
innocent, law-abiding people? Is that not enough for any well-
meaning ally of Nigeria to support all efforts to crush this menace?
We are not asking for American troops. Why is America talking
about human rights abuses? What evidence do they have of them?
Which particular humans are their rights being abused? Even if
some Nigerian troops have engaged in unprofessional conduct,
has it been proved to be a policy of engagement or encouraged by
the high command or government? Can America claim that in its
unending interferences and wars around the world its troops and
war machine do not routinely commit human rights abuses, or at
least collateral damage? Which “clean war” has America ever
fought? And who is to say that Boko Haram and their hordes of
unpatriotic, politically-motivated supporters are not staging these
abuses and passing them off as acts of our troops? Is it not wiser
for the US to join hands in eliminating Boko Haram first, and then
go after war criminals?
I am wondering what America will gain if, in an unlikely twist of
events, Boko Haram gathers traction like ISIL and takes over most
of Northern Nigeria in a major shift of loyalty by the local people
there? Perhaps, America will then, in panic, start looking for
international coalition partners to stop Boko Haram? Perhaps they
will begin to lob expensive missiles from the safety of their floating
frigates at sea, leaving the ground mess for us to contend with, as
they did in Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan and others?
America has to re-examine its irritating policy of seeking to impose
democracy and human rights around the world because it seems
to have caused more harm than good, especially in fragile, Third
World states and the Middle East, which has a cultural setting that
is totally different from that of the West. They colluded with local
activists to destabilise Egypt, Libya, Tunisia, Iraq, and Syria would
have followed suit if not for their support by Russia and China.
Human rights in America are not the same as human rights in
Saudi Arabia. In America, if you abuse Jesus Christ it’s “free
speech”, but in Saudi if you abuse Prophet Mohammed you will be
beheaded, and that’s flat!
In America and most of the West, a man can marry another man
and it will not only be “normal”, it will also be “celebrity” news.
Here in Africa, if it happens, both will risk being lynched because
homosexual behaviour is an abomination that may bring spiritual
damnation to family lines down the ages. We don’t regard gay life
as “human rights”, here in Africa, and Nigeria has made a law to
stamp it. The Western society is in great decline because its elastic
interpretation of “human rights” has eroded the spiritual
foundations that originally launched the West as a modern
civilisation.
If America will not help us, let them leave us alone. They stopped
buying our oil, yet we are moving on. We will defeat Boko Haram
with or without their help. It will only take more time, human lives
and resources. We will maintain our own standard of human rights,
which says: “your rights stop where mine start”, and vice versa.
You will lose your human rights when you deprive others of theirs,
or if you act in ways that offend the cherished values of our
society or promote the “normalisation” of taboos.
Our constitution has spelt out in detail, the fundamental human
rights that we promote or aspire so to do. We do not need America
or Britain to come and impose theirs on us.

Nice review but ejeajo is very good. MMS should be 7.5/10

I like Zombie, enemy solo, ejeajo, MMS. Others are also amazing. Psquare really tried.

lovely and engaging!!

@Emeenaka, apart from drug manufacturing, doctors are thoroughly trained to know drug usage and its application. Application of drugs is different from knowledge of drugs. The clinical conditions of patients determine drugs to prescribe. Prescriptions are individualised. e.g two patients might have similar medical condition but have different drug prescriptions due to factors like co-morbidity, reactions, lifestyle,pregnancy etc. It's the duty of a doctor to clerk a patient and identify these factors.
.
The job of a pharmacist in a hospital setting is to compound and dispense drugs and to some extent ADVICE doctors on prescription. He has no right to cancel any prescription.

A case of multiple personalities...one body with different identities. This is a good psychiatric n psychological case for doctors on this forum to consider.

@yourhealthlabs, now I know u are really crude, immature n egocentric, and also exhibiting idiocy of d highest degree. When next u are writing a botanical name of a species sharing the same letters with other species' names, learn to write it in full for d sake of differentiation unless u had ur biology n microbiology courses in vain(which I think u did). Note E.coli could still mean Escherichia coil.

As u went to Google to read up the assignment I gave u, u should have had d patience to read and understand what u don't know instead lifting up the keywords to use here to display ur folly and massage ur worthless ego. Till u let me know how to determine viral load of HIV patients n confirmation of HIV in 2 week old baby, then I'll take it that u r not serious. U share d same level with 4th year medical students because they know virtually all u know n u can't compare urself with pathologists. if u are pained by this raw truth, learn to live with it.

As for Vibrio cholera, NMA chairman was right to say lab investigation is not d paramount. If u were a doctor, u would know that the clinical signs and symptoms of cholera are easily recognizable and it's a medical emergency which requires prompt treatment. To do test is for formality, just to build d medical record. When u see a case of cholera, then u will not open ur mouth to talk like a slowpoke.

In Abeokuta, there was an outbreak of cholera some months ago, some people lost their lives because they either went to lab, Church or pharmacy shop for quack treatment, and when their conditions worsened, they were taken to hospital and it became BID( brought in dead). In my own facility, none of them that came straight lost his life even without testing cos it was emergency and signs are clear.

Another case that came up was a middle aged woman who walked into our facility with massive leg swelling, breathlessness on exertion etc. part of the history was she had been receiving treatment illegally in a popular lab center for malaria and typhoid ( their favourite words) after subjecting this woman to unnecessary and expensive tests. Despite that this woman was gradually going down and her condition worsening. Then her daughter suggested they go to d hospital. The final diagnosis was Congestive cardiac failure . the rest is history.
I think it's time all these nefarious activities by these quacks are put in check by FG. we need policies to fight this illegalities in our system to save lives.

Finally, it's like u don't know that u are having a discussion with medical doctors who are well read from simple basic science courses to anatomy, biochemistry, physiology, pathology, pharmacology, paediatrics, obs n gynae, community medicine n public health, surgery n pure medicine and yet we are still reading. Don't assume u r discussing with ur colleagues or some touts by bringing up childish assumptions like culturing of Candida albican.
Yes, auxiliary nurses run basic tests like widal, grouping n cross matching, bleeding donor,mp under microscope, wbc etc under supervision by doctors or matron nurses because they are easy.

THIS is d last time I'll correct ur foolish assumptions. Have a swell time

ikennahill:
This is the biggest fool i have seen.i want to ask you my dear before the advent of modern medicine wetin we get?whajob does a radiologist do that radiographers cannot do,well mdeical drs can do everything,so let them do everything from 15th january to 21 January let see how it is

U just showed how uncouth n sadistic u can be by throwing unnecessary insults like a slowpoke instead of challenging d issues raised.

I'm in total support of ur strike. Bring it on and let's see how it goes.

@yourhealthlab,I can categorically tell u that there's nothing a lab scientist does that a pathologist can't do. If u must know, there are four aspects of it: histopathology, chemical pathology, haematology n medical microbiology. There are several techniques pathologists do which are beyond lab scientists. Such procedures are cytology, karyotyping, forensics,etc.
Also note that many lab tests are done by auxiliary nurses trained by doctors or some matrons coupled with machines that do the analysis and reading.

Don't ever deceive yourself that radiologists can't do without radiographers. They are totally in charge of radiography. I'm 100% certain that radiographers won't be missed when they are not available.

Pharmacists in federal hospital only dispense and nothing more.

It's quite amusing the way u want to lure doctors into childish academic exercise by asking them the meaning of MSA, which can easily be googled by even non scientists, and u went further to ask the difference between E.histolytica(protozoa) n E.coil(a gram -ve bacterium) which can easily be answered by secondary sch science students or 1st year university science students. That shows how low ur level of knowledge is. If u can tell me how to determine the viral load of HIV of a patient or how to confirm HIV in 2 week old baby, then I'll know u are just getting started

@bumfem, I was unable to reply u yesterday cos I was banned by spambot when I attempted to post.


I want to keep d record straight. U said I was trying to keep up with u. This is a social forum where ideas are exchanged. If there's anyone here struggling to prove a point here, u are d one. So don't bring the crap here that one is following u. After all, u mentioned my name first.


To d main issue, I m going to post a link for doctors' salary here. The highest earned specialty is orthopaedic surgery which is $625,000, followed closely by neurosurgery which is $589,500 per annum. Click link below for salary of other specialties ( I was banned when I tried to post it here) and scroll far down:
http://mdsalaries.com/


I can authoritatively say that the average salary of a pharmacist is $110,000 per annum in a hospital setting. Here's d link:
http://www.therichest.com/business/salary/pharmacist/

^^^
Paediatrician, Psychiatrist, Neurosurgeon etc are all specialists. They are not resident doctors. Resident doctors are the ones undergoing training to become consultants(specialists). When they become consultants, the total hours of training is factored into their salary .

Note, the stated salaries of allied health workers are for their most senior staff.

Meanwhile, d relatively must be restored or let the health institutions be privatised. U have to earn according to ur input

Salary issue is another area we have to consider. Salary is worked out based on the nature of d profession, job evaluation, total hours of schooling, total hours of work input etc. In d medical profession, surgeons earn more than physicians in US,Britain n other developed countries. Other allied health professionals earn far less than d physicians. The lowest salary is earned by Paediatrician/ psychiatrist ( average of $200,000 per annum) while the highest salary is received by Orthopaedic surgeon/ Neurosurgeon/ Cardiothoraxic Surgeons (average of $550,0000 per annum).

Nurses receive average salary of $90,000 per annum, pharmacist is on average salary of $110,000per annum, Physiotherapist $75,000, Lab scientists receive 75-80,000 per annum.

The salary disparity should be addressed ASAP following the relativity ( or ratio) stated above. Lets encourage d ongoing revolution in the healthcare system to bring the much needed change.

Doctors might be 20% of the total health staff but they give out 70% of the total functions of the hospital whereas Johesu members, though 80% of staff capacity, contribute 30% of hospital functions.

when the lab scientists are not around, the pathologists can function effectively.
When the radiographers are not around, the radiologists are present.
Pharmacists only dispense drugs, so their work can be easily handled.
Nurses are d only group doing something meaningful but the house officers can serve in their stead momentarily.

In a nutshell, Hospital functions are performed mainly by the doctors and assisted by the nurses. Other Johesu members do more of fringe works.

when one is accused of any wrongdoing, the accuser is expected to provide evidence to support his claims. SR should provide proof of their claims.

why waiting till Jan 15th? These people can't be serious. It's time they knew they are not indispensable. Let them bring it on.

@OKKO
If FG fails to honour MoU, then I'll support indefinite paralysis of hospital activities by NMA embarking on a prolonged strike so that this dichotomy will be looked into and addressed. Then we'll know which group that forms the nucleus of health institution. I respect johesu members but they are overstepping their boundaries.

ijaw citizen:


...In the past!!!
Definitely still living the past.

What does he even know about the past?

Alh Harem, is there any problem with d interview?

@OKKO
Who are the people handling the conditions found in the tertiary hospitals? The answer is simply the doctors. They can as well handle those conditions in their private hospitals. So, doctors will continue to see patients inside and outside the hospital.

I also know that every health worker is important but they are not indispensable. If they go on strike, the essential work can be done by the doctors but the workload will increase which can be corrected with time but when the doctors go on strike, hospital activities will be paralysed.

Johesu members are really calling for trouble. When the heat is on, let them be ready to face the consequences. In this kind of situation, doctors will always win. All health staff are important but the doctors determine d direction of patients' management. Patients come to hospital to see doctors.

In US,Britain and other advanced and developing countries, they have surgeon-general n health minister and their roles are well defined. So what do we have against the post of SGF? To embark on industrial action based on that is childish and a show of embarrassment. If they feel that'll solve their problem, let them bring it on.
