Too Late To Bar Ebola Bodies – Specialize In Tropical Diseases by banku: 11:47pm On Aug 05, 2014 |
Too Late To Bar Ebola Bodies – Specialize In Tropical Diseases What is the connection between foul corps of looters, Ebola and Boko Haram? Chasing calamity we could have prevented. We always have heated discussions about how our African professors training medical students have failed us since our medical schools rated below world standard. We glorify international hospitals that rejected rich and famous corpses aggrandized back home, to vilify standard that could have prevented Ebola or anticipated Boko Haram daily dead bodies. http://abujavoice.com/too-late-to-bar-ebola-bodies-specialize-in-tropical-diseases/ |

God bless you Farouk Aresa. You encapsulated my opinions on this matter. Your assessment is splendid. Are you also a Dr? You write like one. I'll also drop my essay on the circumstances that even got us here in the mid-term. |

HOW DID WE ALLOW EBOLA INTO THE COUNTRY IN THE FIRST PLACE THROUGH PATRICK SAWYER This is where our carelessness and our 'certificate-worshiping-syndrome' has led us. What that implies is that the medical team at the Obalende private hospital where Mr Sawyer was hospitalised NEVER thought about EBOLA, never read about CURRENT MEDICAL CHALLENGES in Africa or in the world!!! Yet, these are people who would google Apple Inc. or GRE-type question whenever they want to recruit new personnel into their 'privileged' hospital. Their failure is almost unpardonable. They failed at SIMPLE HISTORY TAKING & appropriate analysis cum interpretation! It confirms the same problem we are weighed down by: our educational system has long been overstretched. People who have no business beyond JS3 have gone on to get MSc by 'push-am' ways or 'Federal Character' or 'Educationally Less Advantaged States' and all sorts or rubbish. We have long put too much emphasis on paper degrees at our own detriment! What we sow is what we would reap! I'm not doubting the competence of the medical team, although I blame them FULLY, but it is easily deducible that they didn't do a good job in the very first place. Put that same Nigerian Dr not even in America or Canada - but in Egypt or even Botswana or Lesotho and you'll marvel at how adroit he would be at his job, which he has been appropriately trained for. But by the time he is thinking about how many LOCUM jobs he can tie down in a day to augument his paypack/take-home pay OR how he can substitute a University-trained qualified nurse with a scarcely trained 'auxillary' alternative - in order to maximise his profit, what do you expect? Professionalism has gone to the dogs - even in the HALLOWED medical profession and we just invited EBOLA now as a multiplier consequence of a failed Nigerian State. I have always maintained that our leaders shouldn't be solely blamed. We are no longer under the military anyway (not that that was a real excuse though). We today elect our leaders and representatives! Let no one say 'rigging' - if the 'rigger' is unpopular, his rigging would be unsuccessful. Ask about the Akin Omoboriowo/Ajasin Ondo State election of 1983 if you doubt me, for example or the genesis WETIE 1964 Crisis, if you doubt me. When however, the people are greedy and short-sighted, what do you expect of the leaders chosen from among them We have failed ourselves! If Ebola wipes us off the face of the earth, well, so be it. I hope we all would have learnt our lessons when or if we re-incarnate! That's sarcasm. I don't wish to die. By the special grace of God, this EBOLA miasma would pass and we would survive it as a Nation - but we must CHANGE. Our current 'third world' greedy, avarious, nepotic, ethnic-bigotry laden and CORRUPT mentality is KILLING us all - and it is sparing no one just yet! |

This article proved Ebola has penetrated and we should have learned our lessons in 1976. How many more years before we learn? |
