Are you N a i j a Cover's twin?

JagabanBorgu:
"a debt free nation" is actually a misplaced priority, there are so many things that makes a country functional and being debt free is not close to the top.

How many percent of the 2025 budget was earmarked for debt repayment alone?

Go and verify

GistMedia0:
A USA-based Ghanaian man has tied the knot with his longtime girlfriend through a virtual wedding, igniting widespread debate online as someone held the bride's hand for him!

Viral footage from the ceremony shows the groom attending via FaceTime while someone physically present stood in for him, holding the bride’s hands on his behalf. A microphone was placed near the phone so he could recite his vows. Despite the effort to make the ceremony appear normal, the bride’s straight-faced expression throughout the event raised eyebrows.

Social media users had mixed reactions. One person asked, “What’s the difference between this and a spiritual marriage?” while another questioned, “What’s the point of getting married if it’s virtual?” However, others defended the couple, saying that love is what truly matters.

While the debate rages on, the couple is now officially married—virtually or not!

That "bride" doesn't look happy

Lol.

He thinks everything is by force

abobote:
For that to look like that, it means he was really diligent. Not like the one that is serving me currently, he has more clothes and girlfriends than I.

Meanwhile, the amount of money involves in settlement depends on the line of business and the worth of the boss(oga) , I know a boy that rejected 50M settlement, instead took his oga to court. I also know a man that settled his boy with 50ft full container of goods

Wow! I'm surprised to hear this. Did he sign an agreement with his oga on how much oga will settle him with?

If he's a serious person and learnt the trade well, he can turn that 50 million to a billion in few years

OneOnland:
Self-defence. She's security-conscious. If the lecturer had no sinister motive, he could have approached from the front, not from the rear.

Ok, watched the video. This is messy. She's an aggressive lady who may have had 'history'. And read the lecturer's account: she didn't reflex-react as a result of the tap from the rear, but from further altercations they had.

The lecturer's offence: showing up on her video, and tapping her whilst the passageway is wide enough that he could pass by. He had "lordish-I'm-a-lecturer-motive", I could surmise.
The lady's offence: assault, and that's a tenderable case. 😞

She should have come at night to do her content creation.

The other day, I was upset when some of my students were doing a video and added me in without my consent. I only calmed down when they assured me they would edit me out before posting.

She didn't respect the man's rights ab initio.
He must even be commended for exhibiting a high level of self control

emmanuel596:
Can 100 billion naira not solve half of the electricity problem in Nigeria What does it take to have stable electricity that this country has been battling with for years

Systemic corruption is the problem.

The shift to solar is a good idea, if you ask me

naijaking1:
They are called paratroopers. You see his parachute?
Why's that even news?
Next, you will announce the first army general to successfully brush his teeth?

Lol.

I wanted to ask if he jumped out of the plane just like that without any protective gear.

Dada4me:
I agree with your submission but I said he couldn't even listen to my complaints without putting on the phone to know what was wrong with me at least.

Oops! That's serious oh

Dada4me:
I had same experience in a government hospital in December. The doctor had to wait for his phone app to come up before listening to me and prescribe medication.

AI is the new way to attend to patients now.

I pray we never fall sick to need this social media doctors.

There is an app (used to be a hard copy book) that contains medications and their dosages.

When you're just starting and even after many years as a doctor, you don't have all the doses of medications in your head automatically. It is legal and we can consult the book once in a while so as not to make a mistake when prescribing drugs.

Alternatively, we confirm the dosage from other colleagues in the same clinic.

I may be wrong though. He may have been checking something else

Biqsahm:
Dis set of new generation doctors are Jon snow( they know nothing) na google them Dey use administer treatment to patients, na only God fit help person..

If they are truly doctors, they overstepped their boundaries and should be punished.

They're most probably post house job doctors or inexperienced who have not even done enough Cesarean sections supervised.

They probably deceived the owner of the hospital and claimed they could do a CS when they could not. If you can do a CS, a private hospital will pay you more compared to a doctor that cannot

The owner of the hospital should be blamed too. He assumed too much. Now, kasala has burst, he will still be arrested

blowjohn:
"Besides, you don't expect the quota to triple or quadruple without corresponding upgrade in infrastructure and staffing"

That there in ur submission is what doctors should be fighting for with all their hearts.

Yes, you're correct

Zico5:
Nothing was increased in medical school. My boy just gained admission to study dentistry in Unilag. As of now, they are still 33 in the class roll despite the former quota is 40 for unilag. Medicine is just a little above 100. Go to unilag and confirm. Nothing changes yet.

Maybe it will still take effect soon.

But it has been increased

blowjohn:
Before that exam the doctor must have been comfortable.

60 percent increase is relative. Depends on the quota the school had prior to the increase. And u said the increase was recent..... After more than a decade?

Why are there still not enough house officers to make work less stressful in teaching and general hospitals?

U find one house officer per unit in many hospitals. Why?

Why are house officers forced to join NARD strike every time.. But when it comes to making important decisions that revolve round health, they are left out?

You're literally saving for all these things from Day 1: Physician-in training, Updates/Revision courses, then the main exams

Residency exams are not optional oh. Years back, people had their appointment terminated because they had overstayed or not passed an exam when they were supposed to.


The clamor for increased quota has been ongoing for years. Besides, you don't expect the quota to triple or quadruple without corresponding upgrade in infrastructure and staffing

blowjohn:
They always clamour for money.

They won't push for accreditation of medical schools.

They won't push for larger quota if medical school graduates.

They won't push for better working conditions.


Always money.

Lol

Do you know, for instance, that to write just one medical postgraduate exam (West Africa College of Physicians), you're spending over one million Naira?

Then add cost of textbooks, compulsory and optional courses that are close to 100k each.

If you mistakenly fail the exam, you have to pay afresh and rewrite.

Should I give my family sand and stones to eat?


Again, I laugh because you're obviously not aware that medical school quotas all over the country was increased recently by as high as 60%. Go and verify. Every medical school in Nigeria have been approved to train more students


If you also listen to NARD, you will realize resident doctors have been pushing for better working conditions from time immemorial

No shaking, the chemist shop can perform surgery.

Chai!!

Joel2025:
Smh!!! Despite having medical student graduating from different universities yearly!!!!! Naija which way na 😔😒😞

70% of them are already planning to japa once they graduate

Angelfrost:
No, he won't!

Trump can do nothing to legal immigrants, especially those badly needed in specific sectors like Medicine and Science.

It's rascals who sneak into America through every route possible Trump is after...!


Do consultants look like people who need to illegally enter any country?!!

Well said.

Doctors are first class citizens in USA

Kennyjac2010:
Worry not, Trump will do the needful to all of them ASAP 😂😂😂

Medical doctors are the No 1 legal migrants.

It won't even be long, they'll get their citizenship

THEGALADIMA:
Thanks a lot for highlighting this.
We really need our people to stop the self hate.
Thanks once more, your intelligence is saluted

USA has at least 10 times spending capacity as Nigeria.

Put that into perspective too.

Usefulsense:
Finally, I am now a permanent resident in Australia.

Australian citizenship loading....

Read how I came to Australia in December 2023 at the age of 48.

https://www.nairaland.com/8045088/finally-migrated-australia-age-48

13 months after, my family became permanent resident. It can only be God.

Congratulations.

I remember your earlier thread and some people blabbing

Thank God for the progress you've made so far

franvincoop:
Just that rice and oil alone na somebody salary if u no know.
Nigerians are really ingrates. See supporters.
So when ur mama give u food, u no dey talk thank you ma abi? Or your mama dey owe u food too?
If na me, I go leave am work this January finish, then by month end I go pay everybody except him.
If e complain, I go tell am say that 13th month salary na im January salary wey im collect in advance.
Then im go know the real meaning of Thank you, no be me or twitter/nairaland go tell am.

E get one security guard wey dey this thread wey dey talksay im no dey even greet im oga, na im duty im dey face.
I be get one like you, na when e hook am for neck e come ask me for salary advance na im I remind am say for the past 7 months wey im don dey work here im never greet me nor Madam 1 or 2 even once.
I tell am straight say I no get money make im wait till month end.
The guy go beg Madam dem, dey roll for ground say im wife with belle no well at all and na hospital case, Madam 2 tell am to get out but Madam 1 give am the salary advance after serious begging.
Na for CCTV I dey watch as im dey disgrace imself over common greeting.
E bring im wife and new born baby come greet Madam, I no be dey around that time.
Since that day, come see greeting, im go dey ask whether u sleep well for morning and whether traffic no disturb too much for evening.
I sure say im wife don teach am sense.

If you know wetin greeting and gratitude fit do for your life and how it has transformed people's lives, una no go dey talk dis nonsense.

Thank you very much for this.

I tire for this generation.

People doing gra gra for basic things we were taught as kids

englishmart:
I don't understand the need to call your boss to thank him for giving you your unwritten entitlements.
A guy was fired for this

Lol.

Proper home training should have taught him to say thank you.

Even Federal Government does not pay 13th month salary in Nigeria.

Just a 4 Naira text, adding "God bless you" in it for the boss would have saved him from all this.


How much is a bag of rice, even if it's half cup?

He should move on. If I fire you, I can't take you back because I would have taught carefully before taking that decision

Woke generation!!

I used to ask if civil servants in Abuja are on a different salary scale to be able to afford the kind of lifestyle there.

Now I know why

madridguy:
So with all the useless mopol and soldiers there no one could grab the tiny guy and tied him like a goat? Look at the useless bribe taking immigration officers looking like zombie but if na their fellow Nigerians dey will have muscle to rough handle him or her.

Can any Nigerian try half of this in France? I guess no.
I am so pissed watching the video.

They worked have been caught on tape if they rough handled him

Ideally, this is how they should treat cases like this, Nigerian or not

Dysfunctional father spotted.

This is the age when behaviours are being formed in children. Insist they do the right thing.

Even the Bible says if you spare the rod, you will raise a spoilt kid

PriceActionZ:
money miss road. Well, they know how to manipulate people. He would have gained 100s of thousands of followers across his social media portals since that events, and will soon launch another coin, which will promote to them, they will invest in it and he will cash out soonest. So indirectly, it is his fans and followers that will still pay for that banana with interest join self.

Lol..no be small money miss road oh.

PressMyButton:
Go and sin more but I know this guy is very stubborn and manipulative, he'd start writing different narratives to implicate the security forces with the aim to curry public sympathy, especially that of his media colleagues.

Which one is go and sin no more?

Is the Army innocent of what he accused them of?

SultanOfAbia:
Stop wasting your money on Expensive school fees.
University where you have to pay high fees before you see profit in 4/5/6/7 years time
