HealthRe: What Is Nigerian Law On Euthanasia? by Briareos(op): 3:50pm On May 19, 2013
dominique: I'm sure doctors in teaching or general hospitas would have had instances where terminal patients requested for a speedy death. I'm also of the opinion that a patient has a right to die with some form of dignity left.
I agree with you totally. But I'm trying to understand the official decree on this. Imagine a situation where a patient requested to be given mercy killing only for the family of the patient to sue the doctor for murdering the patient.

HealthWhat Is Nigerian Law On Euthanasia? by Briareos(op): 12:46pm On May 12, 2013
Greetings everyone. I don't know if this should be posted under the Law section but I'm sure experienced health practitioners should have answers to my question.

How do doctors or hospital management goes about carrying out mercy killing (euthanasia) when requested by the patient? What are the procedures? And the requirements that should be met first.

genetos: Am serious! I didn't know about the animation
I think its very probable he didn't know. Ideas have been proven not to be specific to a particular human. Even more spectacular is the fact Nigeria and India have similar economic class; hence the "begging"
concept.

tony ayo: Hollywood is where they are now all because of critics, their movies are criticize b4 it's release, that makes the film makers to step up.
If not 4 critics, Nollywood wouldn't have been where they're at now, that is 2 over 100 (my own rating).
There is a clear difference between 'criticism' and 'making mockery of', my dear friend.

Yeah, yeah, YEAH! I do think this particular topic has been given quite its share of attention. Infact, this is like beating a dead horse.

Let's try to see the good in nollywood for once - even if its hard for us.

First of all, I need to ask you - do you have any idea whatsoever on how to operate the camera?

Do you know the lens on the camera?

Try changing the lens to auto focus (if available on the lens)...

If not - try to adjust the focus ring at the very end of the lens. I'm assuming that you don't know how to operate the camera - so, pardon me if my answer seems foolish to you.

This is a nice initiative. But I've got to tell you - I'm skeptical about the originality.

Also, what exactly are you looking for? I'm sure a lot of people will respond if they know exactly what you want.

TV/MoviesRe: AMVCA 2013: Full List Of Winners by Briareos(m): 8:36am On Mar 12, 2013
TANTRUM: "Excuse me one second, Nigeria is too hot." Perhaps you want some aircon or more air-conditioning for your stage area where the Congolese comedian Eddie Kadi - doing a long, non-movie related stand-up act at your awards show about movies - suddenly takes out a white face cloth and wipes the visible sweat from his forehead.

The poorly-produced first AfricaMagic Viewers' Choice Awards 2013 from M-Net in association with MultiChoice and which was broadcast live on the AfricaMagic channels on Saturday night, delivered several teachable moments of what not to do when you're actually doing television and an awards show.

Here's some of the excruciating and embarrassingly bad AfricaMagic Viewers' Choice Awards 2013 on-air gaffes M-Net Africa and the producers should fix, focus on and improve, and eliminate, if they want this new televised awards show to be taken seriously at all:



Don't make it look on television as if you're doing an awards show in a garage with a bad orange carpet.

Four and a half hours for an awards show is too long. Interestingly, no DStv subscribers who recorded the show would see the complete event. All of the AfricaMagic channels which showed the AfricaMagic Viewers' Choice Awards 2013 live, only had it programmed on the DStv EGP until 22:30. In reality the awards show ran way longer and only ended at 23:32.

You need to play music until presenters have reached the microphone and not have dead air and silence as they make their way across the stage.

The main microphone needs to be live and be live in time when presenters speak so that there is sound audible and not just moving mouths.



Presenters need to know not to stand with their hands in their pockets, wear short pants, touch their hair, wear dark glasses, or make inappropriate jokes.

Don't put your arm around your co-presenter as if you're on a date, because you're not, and this is supposed to be a formal event, and you're possibly impacting on a dress.




A small stage with an add-on platform for musicians complete with big Hammond keyboard in front and masking tape and several panning camera shots across it for four hours makes your production look like a Sunday morning third rate televangelist production.

A stage hand constantly seen slithering to put a mic on stage and removing it, boxey monitors, loose wires and cabling visible and production staff in the background scurrying with cables? Shoddy and terribly bad.




Have the stage lights on when presenters are already on the stage and are talking and presenting. Also, don't start playing pre-recorded nominee introductions while presenters are still talking.



If you want a classy awards show, winners shouldn't need to get their trophy from an unfunny presenter flat on the ground. If you incorporate unprofessional people into your show, viewers don't laugh with your show, they laugh at your show.

Why is someone suddenly walking up to the host, interrupting him, and then also thanking someone on behalf of someone else on his hand-held mic while he is already busy with his next segment? Where is your security?

Why is another presenter (whose only purpose was to introduce a winner) suddenly herself returning to the mic, randomly, to launch into a thank you for her own husband?



Do you have an emergency wardrobe area with a seamstress to fix unforeseen wardrobe malfunctions for your awards show when you have one?

Do you have someone who checks all nominees and provide them with emergency jackets, ties, pants or shoes if they've showed up without any and there is the possibility that they might appear on-air and on-stage but are not properly dressed according to the style guide for the image you want to convey for your TV awards show?

To have someone appear on stage with rolled-up sleeves and no tie accepting an award is bad and embarrassing if you want to make it look as if you're doing a serious, formal and upmarket TV awards show and not a Saturday informal get-together.
Bros, true talk. I mean all your points are very sensible and "common sensical" - but again, many things in this country are done without common sense.
TV/MoviesRe: Moviegoers Tweet Desire To Kill White People After Seeing 'django Unchained' by Briareos(m): 4:43pm On Mar 11, 2013
The tweeters, imho, didn't really have a good grasp of the movie - just like most people. Many people will erroneous think the movie is about a black slave that got his freedom and carry out revenge on the white people that maltreated him and his wife?

But no, the movie, the way I see it, is about a dignified white man, that doesn't like slavery and find the way his fellow white folks' maltreatment of blacks appalling.

Who fred django? He didn't free himself - we all know. He was bought by the character of christoph waltz. Django was technically still a slave; only that his new master is a kind man.

Who taught django how to shoot a gun? Who helped him to free his wife? The answer is simple: Dr King! A white man. All Django was - is because of Dr King.

Remove the good dentist from the picture and Django would have remained a slave and his wife, prolly a prostitute.

The subliminal message the movie passed is that: blacks cannot do anything without the help of a white man.

DU is a great movie and it would have been a great movie for me if I am white. I was sitting down waiting for the moment django will truly be unchained - but he never did.

QT is a clever guy. He fooled us all.
