If you want something serious with her, NEVER EVER asked her on the phone.

Keep the conversation going, get to know her more via chat, phone calls etc.

KEEP THE CONVERSATION INTERESTING AND GOING.

Use this opportunity to ask some serious questions about her bla bla bla.

By the time she is back depending on your conversation she would already understand the direction you are heading.

The Truth About NCDC Spending 1 Billion Naira On SMS To Nigerians

It appears that fake news peddlers will stop at nothing to undermine the fight against the coronavirus from the fake 5G conspiracy theory spread by educated illiterates to baseless assertion that Africans cannot the killed by the virus due to melanin and the hot temperature on the African continent.

Why it is true that politicians across board are sharing billions to imaginary citizens and ghosts the aim of these fake news peddlers is to divert the anger of Nigerians to the Nigerian center for disease control which has till this moment done a fantastic job in collaboration with health workers across Nigeria to keep the Country safe.

The News that NCDC has spent one Billion in sending text messages to Nigerians is FAKE! The center via its verified twitter handle has stated as follows "The headline claiming that NCDC has spent N1 billion on SMS to Nigerians is FALSE

While communication through SMS is a key part of our #COVID19 response strategy, this has been largely provided as in-kind support by @AirtelNigeria @MTNNG @GloWorld

#TakeResponsibility"

During this pandemic let's do all to support NCDC and healthcare workers who are risking their lives and the well-being of the families to rid the nation of Covid 19.

Avoid spreading fake and unverified news on the pandemic, stay safe, keep washing your hands , maintain a safe social distance & hygiene. In the end we will overcome!

May God Help Us to Help Ourselves

I don't know what you mean by lenient
You may wish to Google pass rates for international postgraduate medical examinations. Not everyone passes
Every one cannot become a Consultant. The idea that just by undergoing training means one has what it takes is puzzling.
Does every ICAN Candidate pass?
Does every undergraduate graduate?
Anyone can use Google for theory? I am scratching my head and don't know what to say to that one

0m0nnakoda:
Resident doctors are not employees per se They are essentially TRAINEES.
Trainees have a peculiar contract with budget for training,courses ,study leave etc
Infact it is not usual to offer an extension.
They are expected to pass their Fellowship exams during the duration of the contract and move on to create room for fresh intakes
If they have not passed their exams in the expected period they could consider Staff grade =Medical Officer roles
They should not deny training spaces to fresh residents

The 30 doctors allegedly sacked by the management of Benue State University Teaching Hospital (BSUTH), Makurdi displayed their sack letters earlier today Wednesday, as they called on the state Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom to intervene.

In a press briefing with newsmen, the President of the Association of Resident Doctors in the institution said about 32 of their members were sacked by the management. According
to her, the sack was not in accordance with the laws regulating Residency Training in Nigeria.

She dispelled the statement of the hospital management who said they had not domesticated the Residency Training law in the hospital, hence were took their actions based on the hospital policy.

The President said, "The Medical Residency Training Act (MRTA) was passed by the national assembly in 2017. A year later, it was signed into law by the President of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Mohammadu Buhari.

"The Act regulates Residency Training in institutions anywhere in Nigeria and Benue State University Teaching Hospital is in Nigeria and ought to abide by the law".

She called on the Benue State Governor, Dr Samuel Ortom to intervene in order to avert crisis in the health sector of the state.

"We are, again, appealing to the amiable Executive Governor of Benue State, His Excellency Dr Samuel Ortom and all other well-meaning sons and daughters of Benue State to prevail on the management of Benue State University Teaching Hospital to obey the law, in order to avert a crisis in the health sector of the state."

Efforts to get access to the Chief Medical Director, Prof Terrumun Swende proved abortive. A source confirmed that he was in a closed meeting with the Governor over the matter and could not respond to calls and messages.

Was the market infested before now? What is the essence of this when people have been out of the markets for over one week?

RenaissanceGuy:
Lagos is the epicenter and is even treating patients from other states. Do you and Wike want all the Coronavirus patients to be transfered to Rivers accompanied by the ₦10b? New York that's one of the richest cities in the world and has a state of the art healthcare is presently begging Coronavirus to pity it to no avail. It's recording nearly 800 deaths per day. What's good about this infection, please?

mrvitalis:
This is absolutely correct ...I see no reason why Lagos would get and other states won't

Onlinealaba:
That's a nice pay tho, but most of these are for expatriates and the few ones remaining are for the dangerously connected elites, well hope they will be able to maintain these figures with the present oil price crash

Not cursed we fail to take precautions earlier niii

nams77:
I don't know how you people reason. Do you know that asymptomatic patients do share the virus? Are u going to test only those with symptoms? What about those who are newly infected without any symptoms and are also transmitting the virus? Is this the best way to stop the spread?
Think critically pls. Is this how south Africa was able to test thousands of persona in few days?
Stop making excuse for the failure of our government.
I even propose that every local government in Nigeria should have testing zone. That way we can curb the spread

shogsman:
I keep telling you people that they don't have enough testing kits, I don't even think they have up to 2000 kits in the whole country that is why they are only attending to influential and critical cases.
They don't have the resources to test even 0.01 percent of the entire population if they did the number of infected would have ran into thousands by now.
Your question now should be how do they hope to treat a disease when they don't even have basic testing kits for the virus.
Stay home,wash your hands and avoid unneccesary contact,we are on our own.

Hello guys, Let me start by narrating my ordeal, about 2weeks ago I started having my regular symptoms of typhoid and malaria which is back pain, hot breathe, evening fever and change in urine colour, so i rushed to the pharmacy and got malaria drugs.

Fast forward to Saturday 21st,I started coughing but i didn't take it too seriously, but by midnight of that day I woke up with the worst fever and hallucination i have ever experienced, by Sunday morning the fever was gone, but then I had itchy/sore throat coupled with the cough, so i gargled salt and warm water and i got relief from the sore throat.

At exactly 6pm that Sunday, the fever returned but this time more serious than the last one and this time it lasted till Monday morning, at this point I was already on google searching for all the symptoms of CoronaVirus, instantly I called my nurse that I needed injection for malaria and typhoid and she told me no treatment unless i go for a test to confirm if its malaria and typhoid.

The thought of going to the Lab for test made me feel uneasy so i called the NCDC toll-free line (080097000010), I called for 12 good times and each time I was told to hold on but the call gets disconnected, I wasn't going to let myself die of ordinary Typhoid because I want to self isolate so i went to the Diagnosis centre with my nose mask on. At the centre i was dying inside, dying not because I was sick inside or I was afraid of what the result would bring, but dying because I was trying so hard to suppress the urge to cough, because I didn't want to scare people or spread whatever was wrong with me. After 2hrs the result was out and i had malaria and too much typhoid in my body system, I went home gave the nurse the result and she gave me 3 injections for the Malaria and typhoid, and I am much better now than yesterday,and she also prescribed Tutolin for my cough.

I read today about a Nairalander that called the NCDC line today to explain his symptoms and was told they only attend to people that had contact with someone who just came from travel outside Nigeria, with that I can only conclude that there is no seriousness in this Government to fight the Virus, right from the beginning they refused to close all point of entry in the country because they thought its child's play, now they wont even respond to Emergency calls.

Forget the nose mask, the hand sanitizer, once this gets to the common man in Nigeria, who believes they cant get the virus, who still believes the hot weather will kill the virus inside you, who believes the cure for every sickness is either paracetamol or antibiotics, then I am sorry to say, Nigeria might just become worse than italy

Stay safe guys, Stay indoors.

Without us Nothing will progress in anambra

The USA government have closed the escape valve of siphoning money to USA and other overseas countries. Now these 419 governors in Nigeria have found home in buying vehicles for "Operation this and operation that". The only thing good about the south east governors is the fact they buy from Innoson Motors.

It is good they are donating... But this should be a wake-up call for us to improve our health sector for the future.
