This is becoming serious. As students continue their protest today the police have fired tear gas to disperse
protesting students of the Ogun State University,
OOU, Ago Iwoye.


It was learnt that the students, who were
initially embarking on a peaceful protest, turned
violent after the teargas and damaged some public
property.
The students had as early as 6:30 a.m. continued
their protest that they commenced on Thursday.
The students, Friday morning, occupied the
Presidential boulevard, the route leading to the
office of Governor Ibikunle Amosun.
They said they would not let the governor, who
was yet to arrive the scene, get to his office unless
he addressed their demands.
The OOU students have demanded a further
reduction of their school fees, after the governor
announced a reduction earlier in the week. They
also want the reduction to commence from the
current academic session and not the next as
proposed by the state government.
Over 100 policemen were seen at the venue of the
protest on Friday morning before the dispersal.
The protesting students seized a mass transit bus
belonging to the state government and forced a
security vehicle filled with soldiers from the scene.
They told the soldiers to go look for the kidnapped
Chibok girls rather than prevent their protest from
holding.
The development caused gridlock on the dual
carriage road as many motorists had to make
detour. Several civil servants working in the
governor’s office were forced to return home
following the blockade of the road.
The students had commenced the protest on
Thursday and camped at Rev Kuti Secondary
School in Abeokuta for the night. They continued
the protest at about 6:30 a.m. on Friday.
The President of the univeristy’s Students Union
Government, Olusegun Ifade, who addressed his
colleagues had promised that the protest would be
peaceful as they would avoid clashed with security
operatives.
‘Let us conduct the protest in peaceful manner,but
we have occupied this road for now until the
governor attends to our demands. We are not
leaving here,” he said.
The protesters had on Thursday had a brief clash
with rival students of the Moshood Abiola
Polytechnic who came to declare support for the
governor. The security officials present looked
away while the clash occurred.
The Ogun Police Commissioner, Ikemefuna Okoye,
later arrived to address the protesting students
asking them to conduct a peaceful protest.

Reports reaching us now says James Ogunjimi and the SUG president have been arrested.



We won't stop! He should arrest all of us!!!


Fynestboi.. FP plssss

The market women in sagamu helped us with N5000 for transport yesterday morning. Gov Amosun doesn't know who he's messing with, we are even worse than the LASU students. We are ready to die on the streets of Oke-mosan.


On the mapoly students coming to disturb the protest, i have no words..


ALUTA CONTINUA.. Victoria Ascerta..

Cool.

Everyone seems to go with Lippincott..


No one has told us the methods or reading techniques he uses.


Thanks to everyone that has contributed so far, God bless!

shakirahpweety: Hello, i am shakeerah 500level pharmacy student , university of lagos. It's nice to be here.

Nice to have you here!


I presume you guys study pharmacology till 500L.

Op pls check out that link..

Good one!

Three! Two! One!


Let the fight begin!

@ Jideolubiyi Are you on the Nigerian Medical Professions Facebook page?

Zeus777: am sick of this consultancy thing . The way u even talked about hospital consultancy put me in no doubt that u know only but little about an hospital consultancy. The west african post graduate college of pharmacist u cited( mind u it used to be called west african pharmaceutical federation until 1997. The reason 4 d change of name ? Well u know d answer..lol )Meanwhile all the Franco fone countries that Ofcourse makes up a considerable percentage of the west african sub region pulled out of it because they didn't REALY see it's use afterall PHD in pharmacy is still obtainable in universities. Well irrespective of whatever name u call a post graduate college , it would interest u to know that it still doesn't automatically bestow upon anyone d title of a CONSULTANT!! I will xplain further, as an example,the west african college of surgeon would bestow upon u a FELLOW when u graduate therefore u automatically become a a SPECIALIST in ur chosen field but NOT A CONSULTANT. Ones u become a fellow of a post graduate college,u wil b disengaged from the hospital I.e u become unemployed. Then u may reapply to the same institution or another. If the hospital or any other organisation sees a need for ur service then they will CONSULT you. Therefore u bcome a CONSULTANT in that hospital or organisation . So let these ur pharmacist and nursing fellows u talked about agree to b disengaged from service first and then wait for the ministry of health to determine if this their "specialties" is indeed needed by the hospitals ...then they would b consulted and automatically bcome a CONSULTANT....very simple !!!!

E no hard! Sheybi it's due process u're clamouring for, e no hard! But to come and say consultant pharmacists don't work in hospitals or they don't exist, fear God nw!

He tried! (Y)

Sup everyone!

Pls I have a few issues on pharmacology.

1. What textbook do you use for it or consider the best.

2. How is pharmacology structured in ur school? Here introduction (301) and cholinergic mechanism (303) in first semester, adrenergic mechanism (302), CNS pharmacology(304) and practicals (305) in second semester.. That's just for 300L pharmacology.

3. Knowing how wide this is, what techniques did you employ in reading them?

4. I don't mind if we could take them one after the other and discuss them, starting with Cholinergic mechanism plsss. Thank you..

As men of honour!

NWANICHODE: Thought that they took NMA to court for embarking on strike, well, just passing.

Oh well, NMA isn't a trade union, JOHESU is..





Interesting..

So when FG employs the military to man the hospitals, NMA will employ who to fight for them?












Oh well, that's none of my business.

SirRomeo: is that d best government can do. I pity us. they want to sell our hospitals to themselves again just like NEPA. The rich are still getting richer

Uncle Romeo has a point

Funny much!

Cool something..

chukel: lol. So easy for u to hurl insults. U cannot engage in any intellectual discussion. All u produce from ur skull is insult, which is all u have there. Either u are a kid or an adult with d brain of a kid. Even some kids will do better. The real pharmacists who kn dia onion r in d pharmaceutical industry. Have u heard of pharm. Okoli (emzor pharmaceuticals)? Is she bickering with u guys on dis nonsense. She kns her worth nd has placed herself where she deserves to be. But u have chosen to reduce urself to dispensing drugs nd looking for who is oppressing u. Ur teachers must be ashamed of u. Phantom pointed out smth but u failed to comprehend. Instead u wia asking a childish and stupid question. U have proven u dnt even care about the life of the patient. else u wud av known dat buscopan cud cause life threatening condition if administered for a wrong purpose. But u just want to compete with d doctor thru ur quack practice. U tink all abdominal pain is caused by spasm of d gut? Smh. U feel inferior, dats y u even appended DR to ur moniker. Yet u claim u want international best practices. Did dy tell u quack practice is part of it? I kn u have not traveled out of d shores of this country. Abroad, almost all drugs are dispensed with prescription from d doctor. Dats international best practice. Wat do u guys do here. I kn u must look geometrically older than ur age because of jealousy, envy nd hate. Dnt just die b4 ur time. Stop patrolling a lost cause. If u r tired of dispensing drugs and want to practice medicine, buy jamb form. Write ur exam, pass nd enroll into a medical school. Dia is no short-cut to people's health.

Well said, you can go now!

chukel: u never fail to exhibit inferiority complex. Wat u just typed is not different from wat I typed earlier. U just concurred to d fact dat ur quack practice makes d patient worse. While u dispense drugs to "treat" symptoms, underlying pathological process is still on going. U mask symptoms with ur drugs. Patient thinks he is better. Goes home cos u gave d impression it is "not serious", den gets worse nd complicated becos the underlying problem was not diagnosed nd tackled. Instead as u typed, symptom was "treated". Till u tell urselves d truth, u will continue to suffer. U r d bane of progress in health sector. Wat is d DR in ur moniker? Do doz letters denote ur initials?

See ehn, you have no hope! No hope whatsoever!

phantom: Haa!.... I just saw this.
oga why are you prescribing buscopan for a patient in which the nature of the abdominal pain you have not ascertained?
what if that is an acute abdomen secondary to a mechanical obstruction or paralytic ileus?
this is why we insist YOU STICK TO YOUR JOB DESCRIPTION.
patient complains of a colicky abdominal pain and you rush to prescribe buscopan. na wa o!
**shakes head**

And what happens if the woman I gave as an example was ur wife and had severe abdominal pain. Yet, the queue to the doctor's office is so looong. What would you do if such a woman rushes to a pharmacy and you are the pharmacist on duty?

I understand the professional dispute part, buh don't let hate becloud your judgment!! Use ur brain sir!

Cool story!

U wia encouraging ur colleagues to consult patients,
make diagnosis, prescribe medication and
dispense.


No where in my post did I say such. I only compared the availability of pharmacists to the opposite for doctors. Go back and read it jor!


Moreover, the pharmacy is a first point of contact these days.. You don't need all the queuing to see a pharmacist. That said, while waiting for a diagnosis a pharmacist can recommend a drug to take care of the patients symptoms this time buscopan for intestinal spasm or pain be it nociceptive or neuropathic that I mentioned.

chukel: AdeolaDRg, I read d 1st page of dis thread, I cudnt help but laugh out loud. Any sincere, unbiased pesin reading dis will kn dat u guys are the problem in the health sector. Everyone wants to exceed his job description becos he thinks he has seen it done severally. Not becos he was trained to do so. Dat is wat is causing chaos. U wia encouraging ur colleagues to consult patients, make diagnosis, prescribe medication and dispense. For a pharmacist?(U dnt even kn ur jo description). U even said not all cases shud be seen by a doctor unless dy are serious. Do u tink dia is any medical condition dat starts out serious or complicated? U shout on top of ur voices dat doctors oppress u, yet u steal his job description and engage in quack practice. Its guys like u dat make simple conditions complicated cos u will prevent d patient from visiting a hospital. U r d ones stagnating urselves cos u have decided to dwell on lies nd groom in it. By d way wats dat DR in ur moniker?

Are you this poor at comprehension? Or you're making extra efforts today?

You've seriously misquoted me, go back and read my comments from the beginning. This time, slowly..

“All public health institutions will be privatised.
Then, the ‘no work no pay’ principle will be
enforced; Doctors who are interested will be
protected to resume duties while new ones will
be employed to take their place.”


Where's the businessman that'll pay 100K per month for hazard allowance?

This will curb the issue of almost 1500 honorary consultants in Lagos, eating up govt money doing nothing..

This will allow the pharmacist move forward in his quest for drug optimization and save billions of naira for his employees.

TemmyTee82: Waz funny

Sup yo!

Morotov1: Phantom wrote it will favor doctors,.....
.then why is these guy alarmed all of a sudden.

And wtf is this phantom?


It won't just favour doctors, it would favor everyone provided you can prove urself to the businessman. Forget the 24 commandment though, go back to work.

Best news so far!!!!



This was the last one that broke the Camel's back..

With the locum option available to FG, and the unemployed ones willing to locum at any price

Samgreguc: that name is a redicule to Pharmacy.

Spend 5 or 6 years in pharmacy school with all its troubles and be called allied? Where did you put the fear of God?

minkawe: @Adeoladrg, A law firm cannot be effective without research assistants, Public Administrators cannot lead without various consultants at their beck and call. It may amaze you to know that secretaries to many Investment Bankers and Venture Capitalist have PH.d in Psychology and without them, most of the popular successful ventures of their bosses would be non-existent. Ma'am, so depending on one another is not peculiar to the health sector, it's cut across sectors.
The problem with health sector is simple: too many eggheads who hitherto before falling into different career path were stars and few years later, only one of them takes all the glory especially within the four walls of the hospital.

You have a point..

phantom: ..........you can cut the inferiority complex on this thread with a knife.
you start a thread to blow your trumpet. what does that say about your psyche
if any pharmacists should blow their trumpets, it should be the industrial pharmacists NOT these drug dispensers/glorified chemists we have in our hospitals.
I can teach my village based cousin with trisomy 21 how to dispense drugs in one week.
grandiose delusions!

I have no words for you Mr phantom..
