Well written. So many Nigerians are just so ignorant, and all they know how to do is to wail over everything instead of seeking information to be well informed.

My brother de thing weak me o....and most surprising is that many are graduates.....

anochuko01:
is it possible not to show any symptom of covic-19 after 39 days of no drug??

shes been there 39 days with neither symptom nor medication. what does that tell you?

they just cant leave her yet simply because she'll "expose" them. Or what explanation would they give for being "positive" and yet not showing a single sign of it for over a month

It is a novel virus and not so much is known about it. Dybala has been in isolation for more than 6 weeks (44 days) now without any symptoms and he continues to test positive. Studies are still ongoing and as more things are discovered about the virus they will be made known....This trend that everybody has become a health professional now...saying things they have no knowledge in it, is quite worrisome.

My first cousin who is a barrister called me that there was a beautiful plot of land in a choice area within the town....The guy sweet-talked me into the deal sotey I go borrow money join my hard earned savings push give am...Since 2015 till date, land I no see money I no see......
Very painful being scammed by your own brother....

I'm a guy that likes my privacy reasons of my quality time to think and pray for hours. Because I face a lot of spiritual challenges. And my midnight prayers have been helping me. Most especially when I had a nightmare or anytime I woke up.

I will seal up my windows and doors while my AC is blasting high. And even when I raise up my voice it doesn't come out.

The government just extended the lockdown which is tiring. She came to my house and doesn't want to leave. I have so many debts on my head now and my yearly house rent is expiring soon. This is the period I need to be alone in prayers. The little I have now I am using it to take care of her which I would have uses for myself to prolong the suffering during this lockdown. Branch and carbon are sending me SMS to pay my loans.

My apartment is so cussing, chilling and so comfortable more than her house by far. Maybe reason she doesn't want to go. She will be disturbing me and dragging remot control with me. When I am watching TV she will just change it to nollywood drama.

I do want her to be coming and going. Not just to come and stay like she is doing now. I'm not use to this type of life unlike some of my friends.

Outside of all this, I do not see future with her just normal control things..

I have not been able to leave the house or do other personal private stuff.

I need her to go maybe coming on some weekends or when invited.

Are you praying to Amadioha or Ogun? If na Almighty God then na only prayer of repentance/mercy/forgiveness go pass ceiling/roof now...if not na vain words you d utter....

There is light at the end of the tunnel.

The discharged outnumbered the death cases.

Glory to God.... We shall conquer this Chinese Virus.

The index cases in katsina and kano should be flogged for violating the Lagos lockdown rule and still traveling out of Lagos.


The guy below me has nothing to say.

Sure we shall conquer.....but 10 deaths out of 323 is not a good omen...that's 3% ...it's almost like the situation in Europe.....

TheImp:
Like. I know a couple and these guys are leading solid lives. Like even when people are running to Canada, they’ll rather stay here and die.
I don’t blame them if this is the entry level pay.
25 mil pa is 65k dollars a year. That’s twice entry level pay in Canada or the U.K., maybe only the US.

This na change for our lootocrats. Top guys in NDDC, Content Board, NNPC, NIMASA...etc can loot up 500mil per person per annum.

You are not intelligent

Lolz ..you are a zombie..you know nothing about science and infectious diseases. Blackman with black sense ... .Ewu Hausa!

texazzpete:
This thread is largely filled with clowns that don't know there's a difference between surgical masks and just any random piece of cloth.

The standard tests surgical face masks have to take include

1. Bacterial or Viral Filtration Efficiency (BFE/VFE)
2. Differential Pressure test
3. Flammability test
4. Particle filtration efficiency: Latex particle challenge
5. Synthetic blood fluid penetration resistance for face masks

None of which these one will undergo.

Well, i hope all of you that are going 'Nice one my Governor' get to use these ones so those of us that have functional brains can see the standard ones to buy.

Nigerian sycophants sha.

My exact thoughts.....how can tailors make N95 face masks? I see people wear funny kinds of face masks and walk around on streets....they do not know that those cannot help them...

KingAzubuike:
Lol@ warri local government chairman.. haha. And so?.. in military era, a colonel was equivalent to a governor. In today's democracy, a governor cannot even talk to an ordinary captain anyhow. If you don't know, even a warrant officer has enough power to turn that area to a ghost town and the military is so powerful, if they report the situation to their superiors, the worse they'll do is to calm them down because the civilians don cross boundary, they bit more than they could chew.... That soldier was disarmed and almost killed if not for the intervention of sympathizers. If the soldiers overlook it and allow it to die down, theres a probability those people will repeat that kind of nonsense again but if the soldiers teach them a bitter lesson, next time, they'll think twice.

Nothing will happen. You don't know Warri, you are talking about other areas. Soldiers work with caution in Warri, in fact they pursue peace more than civilians....

TheFreeOne:
FCCPC should take note.

It's about time we start reporting this greedy pharmacists for prosecution.

Heartless people.

The reality is that most of those pharmacies (pharmacy shops) are owned by business ppl who no even go school sef.....some pharmacists will just register it for them and go away.....so they do all sort of things with no supervision....
The country is "chronically lawless"...

Invisible123:
Good evening all,

I have just found myself in a dilemma that's really disturbing me emotionally. I need matured and candid advice from anyone who cares.

Just recently, myself and my fiancee concluded our introduction ceremony. The wedding comes up middle of this year.

Now the problem :

My fiancee is pregnant, early last month I registered her for anti natal in a very reputable hospital in Lagos. It is standard practice that they run series of tests before commencement of the treatment. After the results came out, my wife didn't disclose the findings to me, she kept it to herself until a day after the introduction.

The results indicated that her genotype is AS of which I'm also AS. Note that we had gone for checks 4 times before committing to each other, on all four occasions the results came out as AA for her. Her mum also confirmed that she is AA, she claimed she got her tested when she was young. Immediately she told me, I got so confused, I started sweating profusely. I immediately took her to another Lab close to the general hospital in my area. We both ran the test, I came our as my usual AS while she came out as AA. Also, Today, just to be sure again, she ran another test in a separate hospital on the Island and she also came out as AA.

My fear:

The hospital I registered her in is a reputable hospital and that's the reason I'm scared. I informed the hospital of my findings, they took another sample and promised to get back to me. It took them two days to call me, they left me and my wife in emotional distress while devising a means to clear their name or confuse me with medical terms. They finally called today and told me she has the AS hemoglobin in her blood but the AA is more pronounced. This got me confused cos if the AA is more pronounced, why release the result as AS in the first place. This is why I find their story hard to believe.

I feel they came up with this excuse just to justify their claim and cover up their mistake. How can 6 clinics and hospitals test her as AA while only this hospital says AS.

Note, just this evening a new test from a separate hospital says she's AA.

Nairalanders, please what do I do? Is it possible for this anomaly to happen ? Is it possible for her to have AS and AA hemoglobin at the same time where one will be more pronounced than the other. And if it's possible, what her the chances of my baby coming out fine.

Thanks Nairalanders.

Most of those so called reputable (private) hospitals have many quacks in their workforce....they have the equipment and fine buildings but no qualified personnel....they are only after profit and how to cut corners to get the profit...At best they have a lab technician and lab assistants, pharmacy technician and pharmacy assistants, auxillary nurses, house officers/NYSC doctors etc.
Na so dem d write results for lab give ppl without doing any test....

Shamelessly you continue to expose your ignorance

LUTH is NOT a subset of any university.
It is a tertiary Hospital under the Ministry of health with a Chief Medical Director at the helm,just like Igbobi Orthopaedics or Aro Psychiatry.


What is a subset of UNILAG is the CMUL college of medicine university of Lagos with a Provost at the helm.
They just happen to occupy the same site.

Most Consultants are employed by LUTH not CMUL except the tiny number who are pursuing an academic career.

Clinical teaching happens in LUTH wards ,theatres etc though students also go to other places like Massey Street,Ysba, Igbobi etc.

None of these places are under CMUL and are not subsets as you ignorantly assert

In other words ignoramus wise man is saying teaching hospitals are established without any university link....this is good wisdom....kontinue

We are not talking about doctors in the academia

We are talking about medical student education and who can give it.
Most doctors who provide medical education in the clinical years are NOT employees of medical schools. Often they have Honorary or supernumerary contracts. So they are not on a pathway to becoming a Professor

I did not say what you are saying I said or can't say.
What I am saying is you have a fundamental misunderstanding of how medical education works.
Doctors who do most of the teaching are not academics but clinicians

Lolz. Social media with their youthful exuberance....you don't even know me nor my field of endeavour and you are making a critical analysis of me. Teaching hospitals (where medical students are trained by clinicians) are subsets/units of universities e.g LUTH, ABUTH, LASUTH, JUTH, UCH.....Since you choose to know it all and concludes that they are not employees of a university....good luck to you...there's no point wasting my time with you.....

0m0nnakoda:
I do not believe in doing a Phd for the sake of doing so
Does a Phd add value to a doctor?
I think it depends ,sometimes maybe in medical sciences but in specialties like surgery, Orthopaedics it is a waste of time for most unless you want to become a Professor
I need to point out that most doctors are uninterested in that

You probably missed the point...we are talking about doctors in the academia, you can't say someone in the academia is not interested in becoming a professor...i think you are referring to doctors generally, which is not the case in hand. ...A PhD is sure needed to become a professor......

OfficialJayy:
So you mean after all the years that a doctor would spend in school.. spend doing his residency before becoming a consultant... you still want him to spend more years chasing a phD degree that can be bought Na wa oo

....Residency is run concurrently with PhD in other climes.......you can even meet the requirements for a PhD before completing your residency program or vice versa......All they need to do is to sit with NUC to design (streamline) the PhD/Rresidency curriculum....residency also requires exams, papers, seminars, conferences, thesis etc just like PhD but covers a broader subject area...these just need to be streamlined and narrowed to a specific subject area to meet PhD requisites.

Lolo24:
You took the words out of my big head. Imagine what a grown man posted

Pls don't call this baby male a grown man, na stupid overgrown baby male.....

lalasticlala:
People use sweet mouth to borrow but when it's time to pay back they will now see you as their enemy.....

He won't pay that money back and you will be held responsible.

My brother I have learnt the hard way...I shall never ever loan any money to a friend or family member again. If they need 2million and I have 50k to let go, I will dash but say na borrow dem or loan dem; never! I still have a lot of money in their hands that I have left to God... humans are just wicked....

PassingShot:
You are the olodo here. The revenue wasn't collected in dollars and we don't spend dollars but naira.

Stop trying hard to appear smart.

More than 70% of those revenues are in dollars, don't be deceived. Your tokunbo cars are bought in dollars..custom charges 35% of the cost price e.g 35% of $7000 and convert the amount to Naira for the customer to pay. Same thing goes for NIMASA and the rest....You can never take dollar out of the equation. In fact, it is the only hard currency you meet onboard vessels/ships.

GamalNasser:
Convert this figure to dollars you will see the Nigerian customs of has been in reality earning less since 2014 .. in 2014 Nigerians customs revenue was 978. Billion naira and when converted into 2014 dollar it comes to 5.9 billion dollars and the compare with a conversion of 2019 revenue of 1.3 trillion naira which comes to 3.6 billion dollars meaning there is a drop in value of 2.3 billion dollars which means the customs is actually earning far less ... Buhari is a total failure

Bros your brain is working.... It's unfortunate that majority of our masses/citizens have sold their brains to stupidity and "mumuness".

Just De Gea's weekly salary of £300, 000 and Pogba's £290,000 can pay almost the entire Watford team....yet dem d trash ManU

philo04:
Can somebody summarize it pls

Wow...first to comment...lemme behave like other idiotz
(Grab mic....clear throat) I want to thank my fada n Moda for bringing me to this world

I also want to know if Buhari is eating Nigeria rice cos the amount of stone inside should have kill him by now( not hate speech just thinking)

Also want to thank airtel 4G thunder will not fire u like mtn

And finally my wife and son staring at me as if am madt...I want to say God bless u


Note....dear our second child will not be born in Nigeria op thank you for posting at the right tym.

This guy!

Never said I won’t ever use a doctor, just said il rather consult a pharmacist, which I don’t even do sef coz I already know what And what to use when I’m feeling somehow , abeg abeg take a chill pill you taking it personal already
I purposely didn’t share my own personal experiences with Nigeria doctors coz wer will I even start from !
It’s not even the fact that I’m a pharmacologist sef , my first horrible experience with a doctor was in my jss2 and this year sef I found myself in lautech teaching hospital And it was horrible that I had to rather live with the sickness than go back , and pls don’t quote me again , Goan take a chill pill , talmabout ya arrogance yen yen yen , write your own comment and go , stop menstruating under my comment

Je t'entends mademoiselle!

Motunemotun:
Like I don’t know that ?

Have you stopped going to church or mosque because you've heard the message before? It is for emphasis or re-enforcement or encouragement or reminder. In safety, for instance, we give pep talk 5 mins everyday before comencement of work, reminding workers the same safety tips that they already know....Nigerians una too d form sabi with arogance...Afterall you are a pharmacologist abi?...There's nothing wrong in telling you what you already know!

Motunemotun:
Two times a doctor would have killed me a pharmacist saved my life
I’ll rather consult a pharmacist now sef abeg



Coming from a pharmacologist that served in a hospital pharmacy department for a year , I’ve seen many things sha

Always contact your doctor first, but once a prescription is handed to you, head straight to the pharmacist....It is important to always ensure your prescriptions or medications are vetted by a pharmacist...

Ithream:
Just about yesterday after speaking with my Class advicer, I was left in a depressed state.

I am currently on my 400level IT and I am to return back to school this coming new year by January. He told me about my result. He said my CGPA is the highest so far. Which makes me his best student. I asked him for the exact CGPA which he replied with with a *4.06*. My God I wondered why he was glad to break such a sad news to me. I thought I had chances of making it a 4.1+ the previous semester. I told him thanks. But I know I wasn't Happy

I did the maths...and I found out that the highest CGPA I can make is 4.2+ after my final year(2 semesters left) I feel terrible right now. How can I shift it to 4.3+ Cgpa? I have heard of students borrowing courses but I don't really know if this could be one of their reasons for doing such.


NB: I am not in anyway trying to make it look like having such a CGPA is bad or I am ungrateful. It's just that I have plans of applying for scholarships to study abroad but won't such a Gp hinder me?

Pls I need someone to placate me with motivational words. I feel like a looser. After all these years of studies! What if I loose the passion for school or studies after returning next year? I feel real bad

What if I might even loose the chance of being the best graduating student of my set like my class adviser had said

A 4.0 CGPA is very cool and shouldn't get you depressed. After graduation, study hard for GRE and IELTS and use those to get a scholarship.

GRACEGLORY:
You have four options to consider:

1. Accept the job, and do it joyfully until your heaven break lose.
2. Create a job.
3. Go to the farm.
4. Reject the job offer and wait for the better days that may never come as big things always starts small.

Do not despise these small beginnings... Zechariah 4:10

N:B
School doesn't guarantee you good pay, that can only happen in the industrial age, wake up, this is the information age, only applicable information to solving man's problem pays more money now, no be by how good your cert is.

Very true...I was part of an interview panel last month (HSEMS-data entry officer) and the company didn't care about your PhD.. but just who could do the job..shikena. Though training shall be provided but suitable candidates needed to demonstrate (practical) understanding of basic concepts.

midnighter:
But how come people just open up stores and begin to sell drugs when they are clearly not pharmacists

Isnt it supposed to be reserved for you people alone?

This only happens in a failed state like Nigeria. Only licensed pharmacists own premises in saner climes.....Nigeria is not a country, she is a zoo in reality!

Martinez39:
Hahahahahhahahahahahahahahahaha . It means he got a second class upper and his CGPA is almost 4.50 (minimum for a first class). Their ego and deep regret at not getting a first class are what make them say such.

There is no need for it, what you know is in your head and no one can take it away from you. I made firstclass but it was never on my CV. When I went for interview at Unilag for a lecturing job, it was after evrything that the interviewers asked my grade, I told them and they said no wonder. I was the only one dat got the job out of the 22 candidates interviewed that day...
Your first class is in the brain not on paper.

I tell you. The guy has pride

Exactly. It is pride. There is no need for that. You can always prove yourself at interviews.

franchasng:
if you studied mechanical engineering in a federal university in the southern part of Nigeria, you will understand that anybody that graduated with 4.48 is actually a first class material, and would have possibly clinched 4.98 if he studied accounting, biz admin, etc.


Have you wondered why engineering students dominate in Nigerian top banking positions in the past Because they always pass the aptitude test more than the arts and social science graduates.

The only people that can rock shoulder with Mech engine grads in Nigeria are MBBS grads

If you did engine drawing, calculus, thermo, advanced calculus, etc, u won't be talking the way u are talking

This is a false assertion, IQ is individualized. There are average Engineering graduates as there are in any other course. There are geniuses in other courses as there are in Engineering, delete that mentality that an Engin. graduate is automatically more intelligent than an accounting graduate. It doesn't work that way. I have worked with graduates from diverse fields; engineering, medicine, accounting, physics etc. and I can tell you that IQ, interest, areas of strength etc are factors that come to play.
