Most certainly was raised as a possibility, and thus implied (even if unwittingly)... Nonetheless, not one to major in minor things, so let’s not unnecessarily belabor their point. >
eyinjuege: The dead Dr carried out an emergency Csection on a pregnant woman, who unfortunately had covid. He was also an asthmatic He wasnt treating the patient as a covid patient, but was trying to save mother and child, and the relatives also lied about that patient. My advice is that Drs should treat anyone coming into their hospital as a probable corona virus carrier even if they come in with something else entirely. Wear your masks, PPE to see every single patient.
Agree on the highlighted...
Problem was when the doctor started showing symptoms of Covid, he and his staff didn’t contact the NCDC but rather tried to take care of it in-house, and it wasn’t until he was already in extreme distress before they took him to LUTH isolation ward/ICU. May his soul Rest In Peace. >
Wisefellow: Why would a patient not disclose a vital information of recent travel to the doctor at this critical period? It would have helped.
Visit to hospitals for either medical checkup or seeing a patient at this period is not encouraged due to covid-19 easy transmission. About 2 weeks ago, I discovered my 20months old son was suddenly running temperature (over 38.5 degree celcius) around 4am and so decided to give him paracetamol syrup and use damped cloth soaked with water on his forehead and body for few minutes. Around 5am, we took the baby to hospital and as we were almost approaching the hospital building, less than 20meters away, my wife asked me to park and rethink about approaching hospital amidst coronavirus lockdown. Wow! I gave it a thought for like a minute while they are sitted at the back sit, asked how was my boy's temperature? She used the thermometer on him and realized its reduction to 37.2! With courage, we agreed let us turn back home and follow up on him. On returning home, she fed him, put on bed to sleep as we monitor him closely. By 10am, he woke up and his temperature was back to normal (36.5).
If we had not turned back home, we could be exposing ourselves to covid-19 danger due to influx of patients with undisclosed ailment at the hospitals. I thank God we summoned courage to turn back and live to tell this story amidst pandemic lockdown.
Now, I have read your entire post... GLAD it all worked out in the end, but what if your son had Covid? >
Mr. Cardiologist, nobody expected you to turn away a potential Covid-19 patient... What you should have done immediately he showed Covid symptoms is to contact the NCDC.
Sadly, one is beginning to wonder about our medical doctors... There have now been SEVERAL cases (including of the dead doctor) where doctors treat symptomatic patients without reporting. >

Because Nigerians are NOT normal people... We keep blaming our ‘leaders’ as if they came from Mars, but they are just like most of us.
There were 2 different cases cited in Friday’s BusinessDay newspaper (p.9)... Two well-EDUCATED Covid-19 patients lied about their travel and medical history, only to test positive post-morterm. >
Gabbriell: One of the problems of 9geria leaders is that they don't listen to the people's need and cry. Nigerians have been crying for closing of border but the govt kept mute until the virus was brought into the country.
The second problem is govt rules only apply to the poor and non govt officials. Kyari arrive the country from COVID 19 hot zone. Instead of being quarantine as usual he was allowed to roam free..attending ceremony and traveling for interstate activities. This is also true for some other govt officials that came into the country b4 Kyari.
As for the Chinese medical team. Since our govt officials can not run to abroad for medical treatment this time, they brought "abroad" to themselves. That's just it..they don't trust our health care system. Why should they?
nairalee: The question remains why Nigerian government was desperate to bring in these Chinese guys regardless of the rejection of the idea by million of experts.
If they aren't coming to treat but share idea like the Federal Government claims, couldn't they have done it via video calls?
This is why suspicion and counter suspicion arises.
Nigeria government didn’t bring them - CCECC did...
Meanwhile Chinese doctors are flying to advanced countries to share same knowledge... Even though those countries invented video calls and constant electricity (so no disruption of video calls ). >
Slimpotter: Before you hurl insults just try and look at things this way. First of all the claim was that they were racist vents by the Chinese against Africans, but are Nigerians the only blacks in China?, cause we didn't hear they evicted any other African nationals. Furthermore, the Chinese in their defense said they didn't have valid passports, and the landlords and hotel owners hosting those with invalid passports are at the risk of their properties being taken over by the government since the government is doing a nation wide testing for those people in China. Try and check it out before throwing insults.
We did hear they did... And the AU, as well as governments of South Africa, Ghana, Kenya and Uganda also protested.
Ebenezer2021: .like.someone here said earlier, if these politicians can't go abroad they can now import abroad to themselves. That's the scenario being played out here.
Jestin: They were sponsored to Nigeria with millions of dollars from the federal government’s purse to come and treat Abba Kyari and now that he is dead, the money and effort is a total waste. APC government came to deceive Nigerians starting with their fake campaign promises.
Sososo: So they came for Abba since he cannot fly out
shadelek: The Chinese doctors were invited not because of the masses but because of the chief of staff. In this context, the chief of staff was the host while the Chinese doctors are the visitors. Now that the host is gone, I think the visitors should be discharged
Is that why Chinese doctors were also went to the UK, Italy and other countries?
ElasticStone: Recently, I got a job with an oil company....of which my girlfriend of 7 months does not know of, even though I will start documentation next month. In her mind, she still thinks I work with Npower.
The thing is, I asked her if she will marry me and she said YESSS. This girl is fvcken pretty. I mean very pretty and she sings. She is currently in her penultimate year and I think am convinced she likes me for real. Isn't God wonderful?
MumuCountry: Na wao. I don’t understand these nigerians.
This coronavirus thing is a global health crisis. Every country is in lockdown. So why are these Nigerians living in Ghana sounding like they are hungry in Ghana because nobody is taking care of them? I am a Ghanaian. I live in Accra with my family. I have not received a dime or any help from the Ghanaian government because I don’t need it.
As they say, all fingers are not the same. So I understand that some people will feel the heat, but I find it embarrassing that a group of Nigerians living in Ghana are crying that they are hungry. Were they not working before? Didn’t they save money for emergencies like this? Why is it that Ghanaians are not crying about hunger in Ghana like Nigerians living in Ghana?
There is food, plenty food, in Ghana today. Those crying hunger are those who don’t have money. It is as simple as that. The Ghanaian Government is trying to help people in need, but I didn’t expect this group of Nigerians in Ghana to come out they way they have come out. It is not good for the image of Nigeria in Ghana. The government of Ghana is trying in this coronavirus era.
What the heck are you going on about? That people who are hungry should keep quiet for “image”?
Is the Ghanaian government helping Nigerians? Why shouldn’t they cry out for help from the Nigerian government? >
Nwodosis: Is Wike not right on this? They are just after the oil and care not about the Rivers people.
It is that oil money that is feeding Wike fat and frankly the Rivers people... I think it should have been in consultation with the state government, but ultimately the FG has supremacy on aviation (and oil).
The concept of federalism does not mean different sovereigns but rather different constituents of ONE sovereign... That’s why it’s constitutionally suspect that states are blockading their borders, when the Constitution guarantees freedom of movement. >
Ogegeodey: Women can't handle rejection. Why didn't she release this video when they were still married? He rolled the weed, they smoked it together she thinks releasing the video is blackmail? SMH! And she is also a drunk according to the report. You and your former husband na d same thing jare.
Someone said that's why he is referred to as HIS HIGHNESS.... lol
I know a sexist misogynist would show up to blame the woman for dude’s shortcomings (no pun intended)... He (not she) is the monarch that his people are prostrating and dobale-ing for, as the purported embodiment of good culture and traditions. >
laurel03: No region in Nigeria that dont have abundance natural resources. Ajaokuta in kogi just wasting and go to zamfara see gold as illegal miners are raking billions etc Agriculture alone can turn Nigeria to anything let alone abundant crude oil
Natural resources means little or NOTHING unless properly harnessed and value-added... The folks making real money and deriving meaningful riches from your Zamfara gold are the refiners abroad.
Those “natural resources” will remain sub-optimal until Nigeria fully/adequately develops its HUMAN resources... When Nigeria adequately develops its human resources, then they will be able to add value to natural resources - and create WEALTH for Nigeria. >
Erediauwa: This is good news to all lovers of our National Football Team....
But in my own opinion, I would easily pick the Croatia jersey at the 2018 World Cup...
That jersey is a multi-purpose jersey, you can easily turn it to a draft or cheese board and play with your friends while awaiting Luka Modric to lead his teammates out.
By the way, that Ghana Ankara material didn't make the list?
