Which caliber of people do they bury like that?

Jay31:
Bros, there is no where in the North where they bury an emir the way it was purported in the viral video...I knew right from time that it was a fake one

I am glad to know we have informed people like you here.

mployer:
It doesn't change the fact that they lied.

1. They imprisoned and killed the Doctor that first raised alarm about the outbreak.
2. They said the virus wasn't airborne.
3. They agreed the death was underreported which they later upgraded to 50% more.


They could easily enforce mask and lockdown because they run a totalitarian government.

Your brain is useless because not everyone will treat Corona virus. In face of Corona V producing a cure is ultimate.

onyxo76:
very useless, but you are more useless since you can't treat corona virus patients.

Hope your head brain well?

Covidodo:
Me sef tire oo. Half this , half that just to appear neutral . Let them keep fooling themselves

Ride on, it is a free world

Tmb78:
Hahaaha! You have been BURSTEd.

I have got nothing to proof to you. So keep your stupidity waxing.

Tmb78:
I can't but shake my head at the hypocritical fools who think saying the bolded will make us see them as sitting on the fence in matters like this.
You know what is worse,they end up showing their real picture by making it crystal clear who they are siding with at the end of the gibberish they type.
Jesus!!
Maybe they think we are stupid and dumb as they are.
Some monikers like correcto and co will even say they are neither Igbo nor Yoruba,but they always,always turn a blind eye to the tribalistic comments of the igbos,castigating the yorubas for the same offense.
You see how these clowns are fooling themselves?

Seems WHO has paid Nigeria to be part of the vaccine trail.

A lot of research is going on, so nothing new here.

brojoes5030:
A bright doctor from the West African country of Nigeria Babafemi Taiwo is leading part of a major study on antiviral drug Remdesivir appearing to treat COVID-19, the potentially deadly respiratory disease caused by the coronavirus, which has killed more than 200,000 people around the world.

CNN interviewed Dr. Taiwo, whose name suggests he is a twin from the southwestern part of Nigeria, to discuss the promising results. Remdesivir, the antiviral drug made by Gilead Sciences, appears to help coronavirus patients recover more quickly than no treatment at all, but it does not significantly reduce death, according to preliminary data from the National

“For the first time we have a large, well-conducted trial” showing a treatment helps, he said. “This is not a miracle drug … but it’s definitely better than anything we have.”

Fauci said the partial results showed that the drug had “a clear-cut significant positive effect,” shortening the time to hospital discharge by four days. By comparison, antiviral drugs for the flu shorten illness by about one day on average and only when started within a day or two of symptoms first appearing.

In the remdesivir study, about 8% of those on the drug died versus 11.6% of the comparison group, but the difference is not large enough for scientists to say the drug was the reason.

No information was given on side effects. Fauci said full results would be published in a medical journal soon. He said final numbers might change a bit but that the study’s overall conclusion would not.

Someone up has done it already.

googi:
Yoruba Youths please no amaka.

Military officers, lawyers, nurses, doctors, teachers were posted all over the world, we never cry amaka then.

Why now?

Just stop up!!!! I am from both SS and SW but I can tell that SW made the greatest mistake voting Buhari. If you voted for this administration, then you are the greatest living.

flokii:
I trust SW Governors to rally round their own and do the needful, afterall they called the bluff of Attorney General over the Amotekun Corps.

These abokis are biting more than they can chew and they want to incur the wrath of Yorubas.

See what stvpid Azikiwe and Ironsi caused out of greed. It's what we are suffering till date.

It is obvious Yorubas want same thing as the ibos. For now it is one Nigeria, enjoy it.

Freeminda:
Lol. Imagine when Yoruba finally get independence, some people will go back to 20th century.

Including those rejoicing above. Yoruba land is where you make a living and you still hate the Yorubas so much

Straight to the point, Zamfara state government should remember Nigeria is made of three major ethnic group Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo. In times of PANDEMIC, INSECURITY (including war), Yoruba has every right to guard and safe her people.

If you feel uncomfortable, get sniper

Leave tribalism alone !

Yenefer:
Dr Bowale Abimbola, is Yoruba. the most intelligent tribe of nigeria.
Wishing you a speedy and full recovery. Hoping you feel much better really soon
Sending you healthy thoughts and wishes for the fastest recovery

You telling a nobody like you to solve a regional issue. You sound like you can solve yours. I recommend you face the topic only.

SocialJustice:
Better South indeed, get your house in order before you come out to speak. You guys are divided between breaking away and having better government representation.

Simple calculation you can't do. I am sure you are jobless.

I don't like IPOBs personally but you are worst than them

u11ae1013:
Pdp and IPOB will still claim it's photoshoped and that the picture was captured in chad

Tommorow you go follow argue say doctors are heroes and fighters lol. Please run oo but don't ever claim what you are not. the 30% remaining are the real heroes.

Neef2018:
why wont they? the covid19 thing is another cash earning ventures for politicians, and the doctors and those infected are going to be sacrificial lambs.
i would take the american offer i am a doctor and never ever come back to this aboki infested rubbish country

Later they will claim they were at the frontline like Soldiers. Well I have countless times that most Nigerian doctors should not have been doctors. They

70% Of Medical Doctors In Kano Have Absconded, Analyst Reveals

https://mobile.twitter.com/channelstv/status/1254876016419508226

I had same experience and was advised by a dentist to remove it. I knew about some complications that could occur after removal and took a personal decision not remove it. I went through pains but I am fine today. Note I took pain relieving drugs at some point. Good luck

alwayssparkling:
hello nairaland doctors i need help here. pls overlook any typo error.

i am over the age where the 4 widom teeth (the molars) of an adult normally grows.

the thing is while the two molars at the top jaw grew without any problem, the other bottom two refused to grow out. i really didnt notice until two year ago when i started having gum aches from both sides of my bottom jaw. at first the pain was mild but it came back two weeks later and this time it was more severe. this made me count my teeth and i discovered i only had 30 teeth instead of 32.

i didnt take it seriously but the aches continued forcing me to see a dentist.
after a minute checkup the doctor told me i had a condition known as an impacted tooth. according to him, my bottom jaw was smaller than my teeth set and that made it impossible for my molars to grow out. he said the pain i felt was due to the two molars trying to push against the obstruction of the jaw.

i asked for a soln and he told me that the only way pluck out the molars. i didnt have a problem with that until i asked for the price.

he told me that the removal of both teeth would cost 15k each. i shouted and he shouted back. i left the office angrily but not before he told me that by the time i get to 26 i will be the one begging for the procedure.

the truth is since the time i did that checkup the gum aches have been coming up periodically. i have been fighting it with warm water and salt but the pain normally comes back after a couple of weeks with each emergence more severe than the last.

so i really want to know if there is another alternative to deal with the ache without parting with my 30k.

i recently noticed with the help of a mirror that there have been little signs of the molars showing up, though majority of the whole is still buried under the jaw.

I experienced it but didn't remove any tooth. Things went to normal though it was painful.

dominique:
Every body that I've ever known to have had the condition resorted to extraction of the tooth (or teeth). My sister whose wisdom tooth emerged halfway had to have it removed when the pain and discomfort got unbearable. I'm not sure if there's any other remedy for it

Have you visited North Korea before? SMH

flyca:
Which bondage? NK is 100% better than Nigeria in everything. Stop following western media and propaganda.

You are not realistic

Social media has done more harm than good ...fake news everywhere

No one should ever compare Soldiers and doctors again. I have never heard a soldier go on strike during war.

ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENT DOCTORS (ARD) ESUT TEACHING HOSPITAL PARKLANE ENUGU, THREAT TO EMBARK ON STRIKE

By the provisions of Section 31 (6) (a) of the Trade Union Act, Cap. T14, LFN, 2004, as amended by the Trade Union (Amendment) Act, No. 17 of 2005, it is unlawful for any person, trade union or employee that engage in the provision of essential services to take part in a strike or lockout or engage in conduct in contemplation or furtherance of a strike or lockout.

Section 7 (1) (b) (iv) of the Trade Dispute (Essential Services) Act, Cap. T9, LFN, 2010 clearly define essential service as any service in connection with hospitals, the treatment of the sick and the prevention of disease.

The Resident Doctors of University College Teaching Hospital Parklane Enugu are engaged in rendering essential services within the contemplation of Section 48 (1) of the Trade Disputes Act, Cap. T8, LFN, 2004; Section 7 (1) (b) (iv) of the Trade Dispute (Essential Services) Act, Cap. T9, LFN, 2010 and 31 (6) (a) of the Trade Union Act, Cap. T14, LFN, 2004, as amended by the Trade Union (Amendment) Act, No. 17 of 2005. Consequently, they are not in law entitled to embark or threaten to embark on any strike.

In 2010, in SUIT NO. NIC/EN/16/2010; A-G ENUGU STATE V. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF GOVERNMENT GENERAL AND DENTAL PRACTITIONERS (NAGMDP) AND ANOR, the National Industrial Court on the 20th of June, 2011 held that service in a hospital is essential service under the Nigerian Law.

Similarly, in NICN/EN/226/2013; UNIVERSITY COLLEGE TEACHING HOSPITAL BOARD V. NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF RESIDENT DOCTORS OF NIGERIA & 2 ORS, the National Industrial Court on the 23rd June, 2014 decided that the Resident Doctors are engaged in the provision of essential services and cannot take part in any strike, or engage in any conduct in contemplation or furtherance of any strike/industrial action.

Out of abundance of caution, when the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) ESUT Teaching Hospital Parklane Enugu, by a letter dated 28th day of February, 2020 threatened to embark on industrial action, the Enugu State Government in SUIT NO: NIC/EN/16/2020, ENUGU STATE GOVERNMENT V. DR. EDOGA CHIME EMMANUEL & ANOR took our Originating Summons on the 2nd of March, 2020 for the court to determine whether in view of the extant laws and earlier decisions the Resident Doctors can embark on a strike action.

Following the Originating Summons, Motion Ex Parte and Motion on Notice filed and upon the hearing of the Motion Ex Parte, the National Industrial Court sitting in Enugu on 2nd March, 2020 issued an order restraining the Resident Doctors, ESUT Teaching Hospital Parklane Enugu from embarking on any strike pending the determination of the Motion on Notice. That order has been duly served on the representatives of the Resident Doctors and they have filed their response to the court processes served on them through their lawyer. That case is still pending in court and coming up for hearing on the 20th of May, 2020.

We, therefore, view with dismay the threat by the same Resident Doctors, ESUT Teaching Hospital Parklane Enugu to embark on strike in the face of this Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) pandemic, worst still when there have been decisions of court against such an action and subsisting order of injunction restraining the Resident Doctors, ESUT Teaching Hospital Parklane Enugu from embarking on strike/industrial action.

The threat to embark on strike made by the Resident Doctors, ESUT Teaching Hospital Parklane Enugu in the face of the subsisting order of a court of competent jurisdiction is unlawful and unjust. A subsisting Court order must be obeyed until it is set aside.

CONCERNED ENUGU STATE CITIZENS

You said my mind

xpool:
Shut up!
Read well, they did not talk about ppe.
Besides, how would you feel if at the time of war with another hostile country, Nigerian army decides to go on strike?
All they always ask for is upgrade on emoluments, and they don't love the profession.
I always insist they can't work with a covid19 patient without PPRs, that is certain.
Mumu, always read well

Healthcare workers hungry? lol smh

Orelafintun:
Let the government pay them. Don't you know the risk they face on daily basis. If you have relatives that are healthcare workers you won't be talking like this.
Government should be responsible for whatever happens to the populace. This is not the time for health care workers to be hungry or else their immunity will be low to fight infections.

Answer the the question is nothing.

Tinyemeka:
Stupid hypocrites.

See how they took out time to blow grammar here and there, without a single utterance about the reasons why the doctors are protesting.

Early this month, nurses protested lack of PPE available to protect them from Covid-19 and the CMD had the temerity to say it was just a handful nurses who were causing trouble.

Now it's resident doctors and the response is to rush to court and produce documents to show that they are essential workers of which they mustn't strike. Have their grievances been addressed? What do I know?

Be concerned about Nigeria, America is well prepared for Iran and North Korea. l

Flyingngel:
In many years ahead, America will have so many countries to contend with such that unnecessary sanction will be the last part though the effect will not be that much.
America shld start now to practice sustained negotiations cos they will need it more in years to come.

True but some health workers don't follow the guidelines for using PPEs religiously.

ImmaculateJOE:
Na wa oh...

Na lack of enough PPE cause ham..


Any health worker that is treating Covid-19 patients should be isolated from the society especially their family members... Government should create a temporary residents for them..
