baby124: Huh?
Haba OP, softly tell us these kind of stories. Which wife will jump up and wrap her legs around her inlaw. Ah ah!!!! Please, that was already more than enough. No place in the world greets like that. Totally inappropriate behavior to have with even ones father when you are over 12, not to talk of an inlaw.

pickabeau1: Not good enough.. a married woman is expected to show comportment,, not hee haw up n down

What of the second secret hug

pickabeau1: Do you know what it is to lift a woman and she loops her legs round you..

Call it what ever you want,, its not appropriate.. very soon... lips will soon start touching

pickabeau1: ok..

Anacksunamun: You are the only one turning into something else, you are quick to comment on an FP thread and forgot to read and comment without asking dumb questions.

@Topic, nice thought-provoking article I must say. But the generalisation defeated its purpose(s). Yeah, such men that behaved like the writer said are hypocrites and cowards, but not ALL men act such way.

The fact remains most of the men described by the writer are flirts, playboys, serial humpers who wants to hump all types of ladies before settling down; or doesn't even want to settle down but to keep fùcking around.

Bad people exist in both genders. Just like we have ladies that sleeps around with several men and parties in the poshest clubs and when they hit 30+, they'll remember to "change" so they could settle down with an unsuspecting responsible men. Both genders have their bad sides.

The truth is, a man that truly loves his woman and wants to wife her, won't bring up such excuses, he'll even go against all odds to wife his lady (Peter Okoye of P-square, anyone?). It's only men that doesn't love their women and wants sexuál/companionship gains only, that will bring up such childish excuses. And sometimes, there's this issue of finance. A man wants to be financially stable before "committing" and sometimes if he's broke, he can't marry his lady. The economy of Nigeria is not helping matters too.

Also some men just don't want to get married, they prefer being single and free for the rest of their lives; yeah, such men exist. so it's all about choices, kinds of men, certain issues still making the men not to settle down. So the onus is partly on the ladies to know the type of men they hook up with. Most times, the kind of men the ladies hook up with, ain't the type that are ready to settle yet and they want the man to settle down with them against all odds. Nah, it doesn't work that way.

To speak up for some men too; not all ladies are worthy of being married. Some ladies doesn't possess that which a man might GENUINELY want in his lady, so you can't put the blame on the men alone. And one mistake some ladies shouldn't make is dating a man because he must marry her. That's wrong. You might want to get settled down with him for the rest of your life, but bringing up the issue of marriage after few months of dating is childish. A man that's ready to wife you, might not even take up to two months to make up his mind.

fellis: *Unfollowing thread again*, I am not interested in watching any fights this morning.

tunde1200: Hmmmmm
I don't know what to type!.

jideolubiyi: Maybe when you're done calling me ignorant and naive, you will realize that you're sounding scared, threatened by these other health workers. It takes someone scared out of his wits to consider that particular titles belong to you just because you are doctors.

Specialist status doesn't belong to any group of people.

It's the warped political culture in the country that encouraged the unwarranted arrogance of employees like medical doctors.

So you think I'm naive, ignorant because I gave no hoot about calling a spade a spade? We shall all stand here and see how these all turn out

The time is already ripe for the public to get involved in this madness, this madness that allows some dumb-ass health workers to think they can do just what they like. We are going to see more of what happened in Lagos, and by the time many of the hospitals are privatized, as a private owners some of us will set salaries strictly based on output and market forces...

You wrote as if the public is so unaware of goings-on at the public hospitals. I make bold to say that once the medical doctors become consultants it virtually becomes impossible for patients to see them again.

They simply disappear from the stations. In short, they become less useful to the public than before they became that. Now, how does medical consultancy help us? Apart from the fact that tax-payers' money used in training your lots become wasted...Yes, we still have to continue paying their inflated salaries while they disappear from serving the public to manning their private clinics.

You can abuse the public, even accuse us of being ignorant and unable to read the happenings.

Go ahead and do all that. You are all moving us towards privatizing the sector, and some of us are waiting for just that. If a nurse practitioner is more useful to a patient care, then she/he is going to be remunerated accordingly.... By then you will lose your hideous confidence in such catch phrases as "pay relativity", "government is the root of all the evil in the health sector", "doctors own the patients"... Your possession of medical license..etc will cease to be your claim to public respect, but your contribution to patient management as adjudged by the public, by the patients

And when private investors control the sector, we shall see who is really ignorant...the investing public or our medical doctors.

Samgreguc: like Dr. Ngozi Iweala and Dr. Goodluck Jonathan(GCFR) did sheay?
.
.
Pls, take it easy eh, the title Dr is not only for Physicians. A Pharm. graduate of UNIBEN is a Pharm. Doctor just like a Med graduate is a Med. Doctor.

thehomer: It looks like many people who have commented so far didn't read the OP.

From the OP,


The health minister himself was present at Monday's meeting but why was Monday's meeting rescheduled?



Why were these people initially absent? Why aren't they being threatened with being arrested?

Or is it open season to dump on doctors? Keep in mind the fact that many of these reps don't get their treatment in Nigeria.

jideolubiyi: Judging from the doctors' contributions, it appears they feel threatened by other health professionals attaining consultant status in their different professions. Why exactly is that?
1) How would that endanger patient care? (verifiable facts, no "em-em-em, just doing feel good about it all!"
2) How would it make medical doctors less medical doctors? (facts, pls.)
3) Isn't there a chance, that such changes would ultimately benefit the patients?
4) If medical doctors specializing in different areas of medicine actually improves patient care, is there any ground to insist that similar specialization by other suitably trained health professionals would impair patient management?

Abi, won't a patient with diabetes, or hypertension receive better care when attended to by medical doctors, nurses, pharmacists (...etc) who have received further training that qualifies then as specialists in diabetes or hypertension, respectively?
Lastly, if specialist medical doctors can be appropriately referenced and remunerated as consultants, why should other health care professionals not be so treated when they possess the required qualifications?

Personally, I think it should be criminal for health care professionals to go on strike. But most of our doctors are so used to seeing human suffering and death that they have become incapable of valuing human life. But then, that is my own opinion and I think many Nigerians think the same way.

Godmystrength: ....

My friend is now confused who to present to his friend for the job, his wife or brother. Your advice pls.
The salary for the oil job is 600k per month excluding allowances.

honeric01: During playing, kids learn to fight, learn to understand other kids, learn to make up, learn to forgive and forget, but when you dont allow them to mix with other kids to learn these basic rules, they grow up without them and end up lacking the ability to forgive and forget, ability to fight and make up, ability to understand other people.

Nothing is useless, do not rub your kids of your childhood.

freecharles: well this thread is for those having 2 minds abt marriage...share experiences and how to face difficulties....(I kinda ran out of ideas when it came to "giving the topic a title" )

adeoladrg: Dear patients, just imagine the kind of doctor you want to entrust your life with!!!

A doctor, politely tells a nurse what to do for a patient, he or she first looks the doctor from head to toe. If the work is not done as directed, and the doctor complains, he is tagged arrogant. In the aim to gain relevance, a lot of Nurses have grown so aggressive, in recent times, that patients are too scared to approach them when in the ward.

chucs: This patient perspective favours the doctors . I think the writer does not have a clear understanding of the subject matter.

adeoladrg: You think this is a fight about owning the patient? You'll understand better when you lose a loved one to a doctor's mistake that could have been corrected by a pharmacist or nurse.

VirginFinder: The Doctor is king/boss/lord in the hospital!

Why is that difficult for anyone to comprehend?

The only people that come close to the doctors are the pharmacists.

I am sorry, any other person in the medical profession is an underdog.

If you want to be like a doctor, then go back to school and study medicine!
