You are playing Liverpool at their worst and you are bragging like this.

What if you now played them when they were on form.?

what if Madrid had played liverpool when Madrid is at their best form too?it would have been 5-0 I guess.

Andercruz:
Listen dear, You made an exceptional grade point so far... Thumbs up.
Your colleague is not well informed at all. His info is under the pillow. Cumulative GPA is the final result after the two semesters of each year. Every semester counts, session counts, therefore, I urge to burn more candles.
For further clarity you can talk to your departmental academic adviser or exam officer over ur confusion.
More elbow grease, and God bless you.

that of pharmacy students don't count from 100l oga

femi4:
It start from 100l. It's not a waste

it's obvious that you don't know what you're saying? There's nothing like CGPA in 100 level pharmacy.

Zeeknow3245:
We should be careful how we use the word "Medical" In Nigeria they're are only two branches independent in medicine which is "Dentistry and Veterinary medicine" Google the definition of Pharmacy and you will see it is "Allied Health". For clarification it is "Dental student" and "Veterinary student (vet student).
For Generalisation Students in the College of Medicine which may comprise other disciplines are called Medical students.
Pharmacy has its Faculty. We are misusing the word "Medical" and that's why we're having problem in the Health sector.
Your CGPA is good but doesn't pharmacy give just distinction or pass?

she's just seeking for attention.

McJane:
Holla amigos!

I'm Jane, a 200L pharmacy student. I just finished my 100L second semester exams last month and all our results are out! (yeah, my school's that fast )
Good news is that the list of those who crossed over to pharmacy school is out and guess whose name is there? Yeaaaaa it's ur girl,
Now I'm currently wrapped up in confusion because a colleague of mine just told me that My CGPA is useless I'm like howww? And she told me that it doesn't start counting from 100L, but from 200L
Now I'm in severe pain because my CGPA of 4.905 is about to go down the drain, all my sleepless night?

So out of curiosity I brought it to my elders on Nairaland to confirm the authenticity of this?

Also I want to clarify from med students, what's the criteria for graduating with a distinction in B.pharm?

Nawaoh is it that you don't have senior colleagues in your school to make such clearifications or you just wanted to tell us that you calculated your CGPA in pre-pharmacy by yourself and it's very good?Or are you the first set of pharmacy students in your school?

CalliDora1:
Don't count on it yet.

It's really disappointing to see how the protesters in Abuja treated Sowore. This guy has literally been fighting the government of Nigeria and has tried his best to stir the people to take matters into their hands and protest. He was even locked up for the cause.

He joined politics to try to fight them but yet some Nigerians are against him. They tagged him "just like every other politician". He's not like others. He went in there to fight them. Let's not lose sight of that. He might have made some errors just like everyone of us. But time and time again, he always stood by the people. He never turned on the people but now that he and several others have succeeded in waking the sleeping giant, the people are trying to turn against him.

In as much as you might have something against him, at least, show the man some respect. He has done enough to warrant it and he shouldn't be treated like that.

Sowore, "forgive them for they know not what they do," and don't loose faith in the people. We need you in this fight wether we like it or not. Keep up the good work and don't let this little hiccup deter you. There are a lot more people that support you and will continue to support you. Your service is appreciated.

The Presidency has approved the Consultant Pharmacist Cadre for inclusion in the Scheme of Service for civil servants.

It said pharmacists to benefit from the upgrading are those from SGL 15 to 17.

In a circular dated 11 September, 2020, made available to Pharmanewsonline from the Office of the Head of Service of the Federation and signed by Head of the Civil Service, Dr Folasade Yemi-Esan, it was noted that the Scheme of Service for the cadre will be reflected in the next edition of the Scheme of Service.
Recall that the former Governor of Lagos State, Akinwunmi Ambode signed the approval of Consultant Pharmacist Cadre for pharmacists in Lagos State civil service in May 2018, but its implementation was allegedly opposed by medical professionals in the state.

Yemi-Esan explained that the decision was reached at the National Council on Establishment (NCE) 41st meeting held from Monday 4th — Friday 8th November, 2019 in Asaba, Delta State.

However, the approval came 10 months later as the letter from the Presidency reads 11 September, 2020.

The circular reads in part:

“The National Council on Establishment (NCE) at its 41st Meeting held from Monday 4th — Friday 8th November, 2019 in Asaba, Delta State approved the Pharmacist Consultant Cadre for inclusion in the Schemes of Service. The cadre is structured on SGL 15 — 17 as follows:

“Consultant Pharmacist SGL 15; Consultant Pharmacist Special GD Il SGL 16 and
Consultant Pharmacist Special GD I SGL 17.

“The Scheme of Service for the cadre will be reflected in the next edition of the Scheme of Service.

“This circular takes immediate effect and its content should be brought to the notice of all concerned”, it stated.

Arrewa:
Buhari is still better than Jonathan by far!

I'm not a fan of buhari and still not his hater.

He has not perform up to my expectations but I must acknowledge his progress.

Bokoharam is no longer powerful as it used to be.

I still can remember Back then when no single northern state is safe including kano and Abuja bombs here and there.

Now they have been limited to only Borno villages.

Your hatred for Buhari has clouded your sense of judgment.

You are just too desperate to label him a failure and to insult him.

BUHARI is 1000 times better than Jonathan your Hero.

Mr man Buhari might be better as you claimed but this shouldn't be happening at all coupled with the fact that he is a Rtd Gen.Buhari has failed the masses simple.

I believe in Hepatitis free world soon.#World Hepatitis day.

*How* *Pharmacists* *underdeveloped* *Pharmacy* *practice* : *Clinical* *Pharmacy* *on* *trial*

By Prof NN Wannang,
Dept of Pharmacology and Toxicology, University of Jos; Secretary General, WAPCP

I came up with this title when I heard the lamentation of a colleague of mine, an Associate Professor from Liberia who works in an international organization. He is so passionate about pharmacy and concluded that despite the frustration, his children/younger Pharmacists will benefit from his struggle. I saw wisdom. I saw passion. We discussed at length and the summary of the discussion is that Pharmacists underdeveloped Pharmacy practice.

Professions evolve with ever changing educational and practice landscape and needs. Pharmacy is not different! The introduction of clinical Pharmacy is the best for Pharmacy: To make or to Mar. To reclaim the Lost glory or to remain in perpetual stagnation. I appreciate the Universities that hooked on to the PharmD, I sincerely appreciate colleagues who in practice, showed zeal in promoting the profession. Quite many. I know a few in Portharcourt, Enugu, Benin, Abuja, Kano, Jos, Lagos etc


Now to the Crux of the matter. It is just not to hit our chest that we are clinical Pharmacists, but it is translational. It is time for action. Knowledge without practice is a waste.

For too long, we have been kicked around like adolescents who cannot discern their interest and act accordingly (apologies to Murtala Ramat Mohammed). We so much put our energy in believing that our growth is stunted by another profession when in actual sense, we are the culprit. I doubt if the other professionals were to blame for our precarious situation. In building our future, we should not sweep things under the carpet. but we will do well to place blames where they belong, we are a huge part of our serial tragedies.

I am convinced that things are changing. The emergence of CPAN (Clinical Pharmacists Association of Nigeria) is in itself a testimony that we are evolving for good. I enjoyed the presentations and responses. Our next best bet is to consider further action.

Those in the hospitals should immediately go into action in the wards. If the choice of 'ward rounds' offend our adversaries, let's call ours 'drug rounds'. During drug rounds our knowledge of pharmacokinetics, drug interaction, Pharmaceutical care, therapeutics, Toxicology must be exciting! Our skills and competencies must be put to bare. The choice of the word 'consultant' can change to 'specialist'. We need to be tactful. Our adversaries are more and better organized than us, let's massage their ego and achieve our dreams first. Confrontation gives no results in this present time. Bring what you have on the table and relevance will automatically be given to you!

My take to hospital Pharmacists
1. Consciously work on the physical. Dress appropriately. At this moment, communication starts from here. Supervisors and Heads should turn away colleagues who are not properly and professionally dressed. The seniors that do not dress professionally/decently (unfortunately we may see some), they can be maturely refered to the state PSN who could inturn use wisdom to call them to order. Remember, recalcitrant colleagues could be found!Lawyers are respected and called learned. They never downplayed dressing. My short and recent relationship with law opened my eyes to so many things (I recently became a lawyer). If I have my way, all male Pharmacists must wear neck ties, clean White lab coats with the Rx logo, have clean handkerchiefs always.
2. Let's not be shy, personal hygiene amongst colleagues should be encouraged. It couldn't have been mentioned at this age, but I have heard severally, where Pharmacists are said to be careless with personal hygiene. I was utterly embarrassed in one of my visits, when a nurse described that within the group of professionals in the hospital, one can predict whom a physician, nurse, Pharmacist, lab scientist is! Guess what: she ascribed us to 'shabbiness'. What an insult (sadly, true too)
3. Seminars should be encouraged with every seriousness it deserves: topics on leadership, communication and other soft skills. Then the weekly clinical cases- disease by disease, Monthly seminar on collaboration (let's take time to understand other colleagues: how they are fairing, their weaknesses and strengths). We will surely learn from others
4. Develop the habit of daily reading. My recent contact with Law, made me realize that Pharmacy is dying because of lack of quest for knowledge. Lawyers are daily challenged to read; at school, at Chambers, place of practice etc interns are better than most 'seniors' in terms of intellectual stamina. It is sad. We should be mentors
5. Daily drug rounds Should be a must for all Pharmacists- regardless of the number of persons on duty. You create relevance. The onus is on you to convince management that you need to have the drug rounds. But be intellectually ready for challenges. Be prepared. Upon return, a meeting with every team be done so that the teams brainstorm on observations and proffer solutions
6. Develop interest in research. As it is, clinical trials are done in Nigeria with least inputs from Pharmacists. Interest in research is the solution. Every hospital Should have a journal club. Have at least a journal so that every month, research results or case studies, investigation, intervention etc can be published (even if it is for internal circulation). The journal or bulletin can have stock levels of drugs (but never a priority- as the research purposes could be lost in it). Our hitherto position as store keepers should be a cruel reminder here.
7. Sales Representatives or Pharmaceutical companies should be mandated to sponsor furnishings of a common room (for cooperate image) for pharmacists. The room Should be comfortable. I have visited many facilities, probably not 10% can boast of having a comfortable relaxation rooms.
8. By our background, we were trained in silos and sadly now we practice in silos. This is not the way to go. We need each other, Pharmacists, physicians, nurses, scientists, nutritionists etc can work in collaboration and no position is usurped, nor under threat if you know your onion. Let's encourage collaboration (I presented a paper in Kenya, and I said collaboration can be professional and social; I further adviced that our unmarried colleagues should be encouraged to marry physicians! Though funny, but I believe it will help in appreciating our values)
9. As an African, name follows a person. That's why nobody bears Lucifer, satan etc. Let's consciously note: stop calling premises or pharmacies as shops. It is degrading. Lawyers have Chambers/law firms/law offices, physicians have clinics etc. How we arrived at 'shops' is an insult, better forgotten! Our clients became 'customers' haba. Similarly, let us announce our PharmD holders, call them boldly at any given opportunity as 'doctor', never Pharmacist doctor (no no no). Please note that MBBS holders are physicians and must be refered to as such. The title 'doctor' had been in error assumed to be sacrosanct to physicians (what a wrong precedence, an entropy). If my grandmother in the village now knows that 'doctor' of book exist, and 'doctor' of hospital exist, why should we ascribe 'doctor' to one profession in the hospital. So sad. I am not in anyway challenging the origin of the error, but we should not propagate mistakes. When you start doing the right thing, the society follows. Again and sadly too, we call our community Pharmacy as 'retail shop' etc. No no no. Let's help the profession

We need to come out of our cocoon. Relevance is not acquired; it is earned. As the late legendary Fela Anikulapo Kuti would say: carpenter wey know him work na kpako! Commissioner wey no know him work na suegbe! We should be kpako please. We are authorities. Let our work show our values. Nobody will help us, except ourselves. The abolition of Slave trade was not initiated by the whites. It was the revolt by the blacks that resulted in the freedom. Get up. Stand up. It is not a physical war. It is a mental war.

Easy way to freedom. Easy way to success. We can do it. Yes we can. If in every hospital/clinic we have one or two positive thinkers, the narrative will change. It is a process. You can begin it. Don't wait, begin the steps. May God open the eyes of your heart.
