To be honest?..I was shocked; That movie ought to be rated 30.

For me,
It was in the early months of 2007 in a cybercafe, the guy that used the computer before me didn't close the page he opened and that was how I discovered this amazing site and I've been stuck ever since..
I didn't join until 2010 when I'd a question to ask..

Unfortunately,The Greatest no 9 is yet to be born..

Believed the crap that beautiful girls come out from trees at night to read @Unilorin ..Restricted my playing around,but it helped my grades.

Me self dey wonder oo..

horlarlorwor: The beautiful ones are yet unborn.I beg who wan born them and when?

Wa de se ori ire oo with this your comment..someone will just sit down after finishing a plate of rice and will think all is well with the nation.The way people abroad are treated anytime they come back home is enough reason to port by force..Bro Nigeria don't judge another person's action to port based on your own opinion..I'm sure if seun was in the USA,he'd be a rival to Zuckerberg,if not better than that

justwise: Its interesting that in a country of about 150 million people you managed to count just few who made it legitimately without going abroad. How about the rest?

Wande coal is Black Diamond!!! Plagiarism

And you expect the guy to read and remember the essay you wrote here..

benbuks: ok bro...it happens

to start with , what kind of stuff are you reading ? mind you , reading & studying are different things

Is it theory course /subject or calculation related .?

sorry to say , i could perceive some percentage of miss-placed priority & laxity towards your studies , you've been having this problem since but probably didn't apply drastic measures to remedy the issue , only for you to create a thread seeking people's advice just because you're having exams tomorrow , ? for heaven sake you are not a computer that will just store everything you read at once ,

you/others in this category will have to a lesson from this , though i will give some tips that could be of help to you now or later .


our brains varies , (as in IQ) the way i assimilates is different from yours .

CASE 1:
For theory subjects/courses ( though i kinda dread some , love calculations more ) , get your updated lecture note start going through from beginning , you may not have to read everything line by line , get a jotter write down all topics treated for that semester /term , then for each write down key sub-topics , definitions of terms , laws & theories found in your " correct " updated note . then study & memorize them , you may not need to read every detail ( time being short , & you gat others waiting ) . then go through all assignments, test questions & past questions on that subjects /course , now without checking your books , try to answer the questions from the assignments , test questions or past questions after which you can check your note-book /text book to see the ones you got right or failed . same applies to others . also recall things your lecturer /teacher said during classes ( hope you attended all your lectures & listened attentively while in class ) .


CASE 2:
For curses involving calculations , you could use some idea from case 1 above . however , you will need to learn & memorize formulas & also apply all in solving different problems , solve all examples /exercise given by your lecturer & make sure they're correct , you could do this with some of your class mates ( good & serious ones oo) then you practice on your own ( as that will boost your confidence & enhance your skills ) then keep practicing on & on & on . don't be lazy or procrastinate unnecessarily
, also try tough questions from text books .


Now to your main question about quick forgetfulness or assimilation , its possible

*) you study where there is much distractions

**) you study at an in-appropriate time when your brain best assimilates

***) you use drugs /take some stuff that hinders sleep for some while

****) you watch too much of indecency ( pornography )

*****) you are suffering from psychological imbalance ( otherwise spiritual influence )

Now honestly ask yourself if you are victim of any of these then change from them & do the supposed ..

also study to learn not just to pass

exam is not really a true test of knowledge rather a test of how well/hard you prepare for it .

anybody can pass any exam & any body can fail any exam ( solely depends on you ).

hope this helps .

CHAPTER 1
CHAPTER 1


Pararara pararara pararara ra… My phone rang in the most common but still unique Nokia tune. Who could it be at that time of the night? I didn't make night calls, and that was a particularly odd hour. I stared at my zoo101 textbook, which was not even sinking into my brain and I was interrupted by my phone again. That textbook was literally a torture to me, very boring and annoying classifications and descriptions of different classes of animals, designed in a puzzle like text. The book was best read during the day, not at night, but my days were always polluted with my roommates’ hyper social activities. So I'd no other option but to stick to the odd hours, when they were all fast asleep. The other unpleasant option was the school library, where I would most likely be asked to roll up my trousers (nahhhh, I’ll pass).

All my roommates were asleep. Haastie was snoring on the top bunk, Idris and Afin lay helplessly on the floor with PlayStation 2 consoles around their heads. They probably played themselves to dreamland. The scholars in my room were probably in the library glued to tons of books. Timi from the next room slept on the reading chair in a position I can't really describe, I doubt the guy woke up without a backache.

Pararara pararara pararara ra… my phone rang again. It was even an unknown number; I wondered who calls hiding his/her number at such ungodly hour. I shook my thoughts away and answered the call Nigerian style (I didn't speak at first till the person said hello). It was kunle my home boy. He shouted into my ears

“TEE, OAU LIST IS OUT; YOU HAVE BEEN ADMITTED TO STUDY PHARMACY. I JUST CHECKED IT NOWWWW!”

I was dumbfounded for a few seconds; not because of the weight of the news, but by the way he shouted. I almost dropped the phone. I knew he was very happy because we both got admitted but that didn't mean he should destroy my eardrums to show how happy he was. (How would I enjoy the admission then and go through with lectures?)

I was very happy; though I knew I'd be admitted after destroying the post UTME and had a great result (yes please, I’m allowed to blow my own trumpet). Yes, I was a matriculated student of a faster university, but I wasn’t studying pharmacy. Pharmacy had always been my dream course. I didn't know why I had a special and strong interest in the course, but I was very sure I didn't want to study medicine which was my Dad's laid down path for me. I discharged kunle after some minutes of exchanging strategies and plans on how we’re going to do registrations and other stuffs.

I went to Idris’ bunk, switched on the Powerful sound system and started blasting terry g's hallelujah at the highest volume. Afin was the first to feel the impact of the music. He opened his eyes gradually; I guess his first thought would have been that I might have been high on weed.

“Tee, you no look time ni or you wan make this potter come meet us ni?” he buzzed.

I screamed “Bleep the potter, Bleep DSA, and Bleep the VC. I've been admitted into a better school and for a better course at that.”

He looked at me,” iro ni o!” he said.

Then with a kick, he woke up idris and haastie and as if they had planned for a party from dreamland, they joined in the celebration. We danced till exhaustion set in and we slept off.

The attention of Joint Health Sector Unions (JOHESU) has been drawn to the publication (Advertorial) by the Nigeria Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) in various newspapers including social media from the 9th of April to 30th of May, 2014.
Whereas the Publications would have been ignored for obvious lack of credence and immaturity aptly demonstrated by the NMA and its appendages, on a second thought, the leadership of JOHESU, considered the inherent danger such malice, misinformation, such publications if not corrected, could impact on the uninformed public and resolved to respond, if only to refute the unguarded and unprofessional utterances of the groups, not to mention the level of absurdity the issues raised epitomize, which further stretched the incredibility to an agonizing crescendo.
The issues taken point to point with rebuttal, are as follows:
1. Threat of Nation-wide Strike and the Chibok Girls
NMA and its groups would be shocked to hear that JOHESU shelved its strike slated for Monday 19th May 2014 because of its sympathy with the Government and the people of this great country over the tragedy that befell the Nation. Again, the leadership of JOHESU offered special prayers at various times and in particular at its meeting with the Government on the 13th May, 2014 over Nyanya Bomb blast and the abducted Chibok girls.
That would not be said of NMA and its affiliates. In spite of the fact that the Nation was thrown into mourning and sadness, the NARD (at that student doctors) in full blast embarked on a 3 day Nation-wide warning strike, a situation widely reported on the electronic and print media with such condemnation. The strike was yet another opportunity for striking doctors to divert patients in public facilities to their private facilities. What could be so callous and insensitive than this!
 
2. Attack on NLC & TUC
NMA attacked the NLC and TUC for supporting JOHESU in its endeavour to improve on the poor state of the Nation’s health sector being mismanaged by the Medical doctors, is baseless and a clear demonstration of NMA’s attempt to cover up the rot in the sector which is the result of years of mis-management of the health sector by Nigerian doctors who were in charge.
Both Labour Centres, NLC and TUC, have as affiliates all the five member-unions of JOHESU, all of them registered by the Trade union Acts and the extant laws. NMA and its groups are not registered trade unions, yet are known to engage in trade union activities, by negotiating conditions of service and most often incite the government against the rest of the other health practitioners given their privileged leadership position in the sector. This is contrary to the NIC judgment of 20th June, 2011, in a case of Hon. Attorney General of Enugu State VS National Association of Medical & Dental Practitioners (NAGGMAP), in which NICN ruled “that the right to strike is a right that belongs to a trade union” meaning that NMA and its group, legally lack this right, to embark on or negotiate conditions of service and even enter into collective bargaining with its employers. In other words, NMA has used blackmail to coerce and intimidate the government to enter into agreement, all of which ordinarily are illegal. As the saying goes, two wrongs cannot make a right, therefore we say enough is enough.
Most JOHESU cases went through NIC and were favourably disposed in the JOHESU favour. NMA cases should equally be subjected to judicial process as in that of Enugu NIC in 2011. The Federal Ministry of Health is enjoined to stop playing double standards with personnel issues in the health sector.
 
3. Crisis in the Health Sector - is it Political?
Perhaps, NMA and its appendages need to inform the ordinary citizen of this country properly on this issue. Since the days of Professor Olikoye Ransome Kuti, a onetime Minister of Health, who awarded the Medical Doctors Super Salary of MSS/MSSS and the others in the health sector, HSS in 1991, thereby removing the single spine salary structure, undermining the issue of salary relativity/parity, thus creating a huge gap differential that has remained unjustifiable till date, crisis has become an integral part of the health sector. Again, in 2009, CONMESS was given doctors, which further expanded the salary band from 1 – 7 at entry point of GL.13 for a newly qualified doctor! Besides this, the entire health structure came under the headship of the Medical Doctors, thereby giving them privileged positions that the Job Evaluation conducted and supervised by the office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, with Head of Service of the Federation, Federal Ministry of Labour and Productivity, Federal Ministry of Health, National Salaries, Income and Wages Commission etc as members in 2007 could still not justify. In fact, the Medical Doctors apart from the consultants in Nigeria were rated slightly below most health professionals including medical lab scientists and physiotherapists, what then forms the basis for such leverages and largesse being given the Medical Doctors, if not corruption and injustice in the sector? How could NMA justify its press release urging the Federal Government not to succumb to JOHESU ‘cheap blackmail’ and her allies by granting to JOHESU requests that undermine the interest of the Nigerian Doctors”, if not the usual political maneuvering that has characterized the Medical doctors mismanagement concept in the health sector over the years.
 
4. Issue of skipping of CONHESS 10 is simple.
No civil servant progresses from GL 10 to 11; rather the structure is GL 10 to 12. Why should the Medical doctors compel other health professionals to embrace movement from GL 10 to 11 when the entry point is GL 13 for doctors? That NIC judgment favoured JOHESU shows the legality of JOHESU demands. No more no less.
WWW.MEDICALWORLDNIGERIA.COM
5. Issue of Relativity
A young graduate of Medicine on internship is placed on GL 10 and on post NYSC placed on GL 13. Other Health professionals on internship start on GL 09; and a post NYSC status of GL 10. The demand for something higher by doctors is therefore not acceptable. A doctor who starts on GL 13 after youth service already has an edge that cannot be covered over a 10-year period by other health workers. What other relativity are we talking about in terms of a benefit package?
Again, while the Medical Doctors within a span of 6 – 8 years rise to the post of Medical Director, the other health professionals spend years on progression, often stagnating and generally are denied such privileges by the Medical doctors. Medical doctors are known to threaten the government with strike should their professional counterpart in the health sector insist on rising to post of Directorship in various health departments, units, Health Management Boards, Tertiary Health Institutions etc. This is a misnomer because Public Service Rules and the relevant schemes of service permit all university graduates to rise to the apex level of director in the civil service.
 
6. Termination of appointments of other health professionals as consultants.
Contrary to the practice worldwide, the Hon. Minister of Health in December, 2010, acting in concert with the NMA, terminated the appointments of renowned Health Professionals, some of whom are professors in specialized field of Health as consultants. This led to a fierce legal battle which eventually led to NICN ruling in favour of JOHESU, thereby stopping the reign of impunity medical doctors have imposed on the other health professionals for several years, especially since the emergence of the incumbent Minister of Health.
What remains now is whether other health professionals would emerge as heads of their own units, departments or as Chief Executive Officers of Tertiary Health Institutions as is the norm all over the world and previously the practice when the Healthcare sector in Nigeria was the envy of other nations. It is important to put on record that this was the practice before Olikoye Kuti instigated the obnoxious Decree 10 of 1985 under military watch. It is evidence based that since the medical doctors took over the running of the healthcare institutions, the entire sector has been ruined to the extent that Nigeria now tops the list in medical tourism and capital flight as a result of healthcare expenditures.
 
7. Controversies surrounding the various categories of Medical Practitioners in the teaching hospitals.
NMA has refused to call a spade a spade. The appointments of more Honourary Consultants who are staff of Universities Instead of permanent Hospital Consultants leaves a huge drain on the purse of the Hospitals particularly because this investment on Hon. Consultants is unjustifiable as majority of them refuse to be impactful, because they simply don’t work in the teaching hospitals where they are paid.
Equally is the filling up of the hospitals with resident doctors whose interests border more on passing their exams than caring for the patients. Since these are postgraduate medical practitioners, training to become consultants, they should conform with the rules applicable to those of other health professionals in their category.
The NMA has no justifiable claim of legitimacy to the leadership of the hospitals as the hospitals have become celebrated cases of failure, dysfunction and inefficient institutions where existing infrastructures were last upgraded when health administrators were in charge in the early 80s. The series of Press Releases, and threats of strikes are actions necessary to keep the medical doctors relevant in the Public arena; but the media focus should not intimidate the public. Fact is doctors reap a windfall during strikes because government pays them for jobs not done and they divert patients in guaranteed public facilities to their private hospitals in a process of unprecedented profiteering. WWW.MEDICALWORLDNIGERIA.COM
 
Conclusion:
Finally, JOHESU admonishes government to seize this opportunity of another doctors strike to show government can be government by not succumbing to propaganda in the media. Government must treat this as an unlawful strike because NMA, MDCAN & NARD are not trade unions and therefore logically cannot negotiate trade disputes with government for any reason. As vital stake holders we assure government and consumers of health that we shall do our part to legally redress the many aberrations of Nigerian doctors.
 
JOHESU also calls on all health professionals in its fold in both the public and private sector to continue to render service within their competence and skills to ameliorate the conditions of patients who seek care in the weeks ahead.

A drug can be regarded as a substance with the potential to prevent/diagnose and treat diseases or to enhance physical or mental well being. Drugs can be naturally occurring or synthetic.
Drug Abuse is simply the use of illegal drugs or the inappropriate use of legal drugs.Apart from cocaine,heroine,amphetamine,other commonly abused drugs include
CODEINE-this is very common among students,especially the abuse of codeine-based cough syrups. Abusers purchase large quantities of cough syrups from patent medicine stores claiming that they are afflicted with cough related conditions. They often swallow the content of a bottle of cough syrup in one go or mix it with alcohol..beware of those red plastic cups!!!Abuse of codeine poses a risk of
depression and death. The risk is
increased with concurrent abuse of
alcohol.
HYPNOSEDATIVES-(especially Valium, Lexotan, Ativan )Although these are controlled drugs,they are commonly abused by adults especially by people with sleeping problems and young people with crazy motives.
PENTAZOCIN injection- This drug is a powerful but potentially additive analgesic which is used for severe pains resulting from conditions like sickle cell crisis, post surgical procedures, etc.Although,a strictly controlled drug, Sicklers who “self medicate” are potential addicts to this drug.
POSTINOR 2-Postinor-2 is an emergency contraceptive only. Postinor-2 is not intended as a regular method of contraception.Users are adviced not to use the emergency contraceptives more than twice in a 28-day period.Commonly abused by young ladies..or how do u explain a 17years old girl coming for prostinor 2 every friday night.
PARACETAMOL-is such a popular pain killer that it
almost became the victim of its own success.
When patients are asked “do you have any pain
killers at home?”, they often shrug when
answering: “not really, just ordinary Paracetamol”.
Lots of people consider it so common that it
cannot really be much good. Or is it?Commonly abused by most people,some take more than the recommended dose self.One of the main attractions of paracetamol is
that it has few side-effects.This does not mean
that paracetamol can be taken with impunity,
because there are possible side-effects, and
they can be devastating!
One of them is liver failure.
