Chief same situation am facing. Cannot pay my staff promptly yet patients keep pleading. If I show you our debtors list you will cry for me. Yet bills keep coming every month from various agencies and groups affiliated with the govt. Am currently planning on closing down the hospital.

Imagine... Na to open beer parlour business sure pass...i can assure you that you stand a better chance getting your bills settled quicker when people consume alcohol dan giving people dr hospital bills....and they'll still have the mouth & guts to tell you nonsense about "hippocritical oath" dats Nigerians for you...claiming to be smart yet are very fooolish people!

Dharniel:
well said but your last paragraph is what I would would want to plead with you on behalf of the prospective broke emergency patient.


if your excuse in future will continue to be "their blood is not on my hands", then you would be guilty at some point. please try as much as possible to do everything within your capabilities and the Lord will surely reward you...

Your last statement is what I'll like you to retract...let's be practical here.. Most patient can afford hospital bills but will rather abscond dan pay! Doctors have nurses,cleaners,security,lab technician and other doctors to pay....he has a wife and children to cater for their feeding,clothing, etc...even if he does " everything within his capabilities " by starving himself to death wat of these other people i mentioned? Are they going to hear dat one? These are the things people should consider but I've noticed humans are just innately wicked and ignorant cos they see it as a Doctor making a fortune out of his misfortune...ds is probably one of the causes of poor-health seeking behaviour in d country...they'll rather abscond or perhaps beat you up after treating them...i can't wait to open my clinic and you'll see pay b4 service written boldly at the nurses counter...no shame in dat cos i and my workers are just like any other civil servants dat work because they have needs...dats wat we have to do to eke out a living...

If accumulating wealth is what you are looking for after studying medicine then u are in for a ride. A medical degree can only make u sufficient but not rich.

You're d type of patient this doctor is talking about...where in his statement did he mention rich? He said he has needs to attend to and workers to pay hence patients should endeavour to pay you're here talking rich...it's your exact type of person that will abscond or beat up a doctor after having sworn heaven and earth to pay up initially... No wahala docs don get una code already.

I once saw a patient who was in obstructed labour and would require emergency C/S to save the child and mother's life...even though d husband worked in MTN he said it's not the money dats d problem but he has already planned d money for naming cerrmony! Imagine!!! A child dat was not even out yet.

People always prefer to spend money on useless things but will grow "intelligence" on useful things.... I've stopped pitying patients a long time ago wen a patient we cured ended up calling touts to beat us up and paid only 2thousand naira for hospital bills...

Wike my man.. The true son of the soil and the lion tamer.. You might not be perfect, but you are a true hero and a gallant fighter. You showed to the whole world the true bravery and resilience of the average Niger Delta man and we are proud of you. One thing is to have federal might and another thing is to know how to use it, Ameachi is a noise making learner. Wike murdered them with federal might last year and delivered practically everything, from presidency to House of Assembly. The idiot Ameachi with all his so called federal might couldn't deliver a polling unit.. The difference is that one has the love of the streets and the other got nothing but hatred from the streets.

Quote of the day : They have the federal might and the power, but we have the people. The power of the people is mightier than the people in the power - Gov Nyesome ysome Wike

Everything wey you talk since morning no consign me.... The quote wey you mention na hin catch me:

"The power in people is mightier than the people in power" Gov Nyesom Wike!

hmmm na wa o, with the way things are going, no one might vote in the election. though I like it when PDP gives APC fire for fire.

u can't try this nonsense in the core North, we saw how elections in the north went peacefully, there were no PDP candidates shouting in radio of coming to face whoever, but the useless ameachi who is trying hard to impress who I don't know, is spitting fire and brimstone.

Today, Sonia Ogbonna, the wife of Nollywood actor IK Ogbonna, announced that she has secured the deal to work with the Ooni of Ife to build a grand resort in Ife, Osun State.

Last week, she hinted on clinching the deal when she shared the photos from her visit to the Ife Palace during talks with the Kabiyesi on developing Osun State. Today, she shared new photos, confirming she got the deal and has started work with her team.

“What a man can do a woman can do (better),” she wrote, adding, “My amazing team and I working on building Ile Ife Grand Resort. This project will bring world to Nigeria, I promise! There is nothing we don’t have here #blessedLand Work hard for what you believe in.”

This will be the first recorded project the Colombian businesswoman and blogger will be executing in Nigeria.

Sonia and IK Ogbonna have one son together.

Nigeria is a country where all big investors have no inventions (tangible or intangible) to their credit. Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Michael Dell, Thomas Edison and the likes all have products to patent, but most entrepreneurs we have in Nigeria have invented nothing and have made it through dubious means. 

Entrepreneurship/vocational education is government's way of telling the youth and graduates that she (the government) lacks industrialisation and job creation strategies while the youth have been left to fate.

Entrepreneurship/vocational education is government's way of making the youth/graduates look intellectually lazy and burdensome as well as telling them that they are have been abandoned in the valley of unemployment. Unemployment rate increased simply because government owned industries and companies get strangulated by the python of corruption as well as the refusal of the government to establish new ones.

Entrepreneurship in advanced countries is about innovations, inventions, improvements, expansions, people and institutional empowerment. Modern and sophisticated skills are being utilised to manufacture goods and services which culminates into abundant job creation.

Entrepreneurship in Nigeria is of the graduate job seeker told to engage in bead making, soap making, hair dressing, laundry and so on. These businesses have neither inventions nor advancement to add to the business practice and the economy, as they also have little or no impact on the international market. 

Entrepreneurship in Nigeria is also of the rich that colludes with the government to defraud the masses, destroy public corporations and infrastructures in order for them to import alternative goods. The rich set up few enterprises and often pay peanuts to their employees in order to increase their wealth; culminating into increase in poverty level and underemployment in the country.  

The government of advanced countries often invest billion of dollars on education and research, so they always have intellectuals who will offer innovative products and services to the world. These products and services are initially developed into small scale businesses as they many even grow into large enterprises. While Nigeria keeps wasting hard earned funds on Small and Medium Scale (SME) development, yet the businesses are nowhere to be found.

Only an insane person will keep doing the same thing the same way and expect a different result. Am yet to see a nation that got developed by investing so little on the education of her youth and students but spend so much on SME propaganda. Still searching for a nation that gave nothing more than mere, non-professional, common, stark and non-sophisticated skills/training to her youth and achieved rapid industrial development.

Why should we buy a trailer engine, fix it in a car and try to make it compete with an aircraft? Why should we make people earn mere skills and expect them to compete with foreign sophisticated technologies? We have to know that the issue of local production of goods and services is a serious competetion with the developed nations.

Some questions for the proponents of entrepreneurship/vocational education.
 When will out textile, fashion and leather industry be able to make products of international standard? When will a Nigerian mechanic be able to manufacture car engines and other motor parts? When will our furniture makers be able to make furniture that will compete with ones made overseas? When will a computer repairer be able to produce motherboards, memorycards, monitors, just to mention a few?

Did America achieved greatness by emphasising on vocational trainings on how to make shoe polish, bake cake, produce detergents, event decorations , frying akara and establishment of football viewing centres? Did Britain get it right by teaching her youth how to start a beer palour and salon businesses or by ensuring technological dynamism? I wondered if it is mere phone repair training was what brought China among world's  mobile phone producers. Over and over again, I see entrepreneurship and vocational education as a scam.

Take a look at the furniture industry in Nigeria, you'll discover it is almost dead because foreign furniture has flooded the Nigerian market. Foreign furniture makers have been able to introduce much variety of products with various designs, even at exorbitant prices, yet people still buy them. Imported furniture  attains this much because modern machines are regularly produced to make new designs of furniture, but here in Nigeria, we only buy simple tools, we don't engage in design and manufacture of  machines/tools to be used in the furniture industry, so we are perpetually making furniture that cannot compete with the foreign ones. It is only engineering that provides modern machines, stack entrepreneurship cannot.

Entrepreneurship and and vocational education has never helped Nigeria in the manufacture of modern machines for production of finished goods that can compete favourably with imported ones. The best entrepreneurship has offered us is to use social media means to engage in selling of imported products as well as setting up of few businesses with the use of foreign machines. It is appaling for government to still keep preaching the sermon that can never bring solutions to us.

Every sector of the Nigerian economy has been badly affected by the erroneous policy of entrepreneurship and vocational education. From the agricultural sector to the transportation sector, from manufacturing to education, from construction to entertainment, name it, we have rendered our nation incapacitated when it comes to production of goods and services. There can never be abundant job opportunities as long as we keep executing this lame practice. 

I wonder why we have not given so much vocational training to professional operating as doctors, nurses and pharmacist in the medical field. We give this set of people trainings that can make them compete favourably with their foreign counterpart. I believe it should appear proper to the government to substitute entrepreneurship and vocational education with the training they receive in the teaching hospitals.  The government (after emptying the laboratories and workshops of polytechniques and universities) substituted requisite training for our engineers and scientist with entrepreneurship and vocational training, so they are rendered handicapped when it comes to provision of modern goods and services as well as job creation.

It is high time we changed our job creation policy of entrepreneurship and vocational studies to provision of qualitative education at all levels, especially science and technology education so that Nigerian graduates would possess requisite modern and sophisticated skills for our nation and the world market at large. It is only qualitative education and intensive research that can initiate intellectual thinking for creation of innovative goods and services.
 
Entrepreneurship and vocational studies have been found to have contributed immensely only to economy of nations with massive investments in education and research. Singapore and South Korea are the examples of nations that have eradicated illiteracy and have invested huge funds into science and technology education, so entrepreneurship thrives there.

Let the laboratories and workshops of our secondary schools and higher institutions be adequately equipped with modern and facilities so as to provide avenues for learning practicals. We need to replicate the likes of Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg who utilised the qualitative education they obtained in the tetiary institutions to create worldwide business ventures in their fields.

Real entrepreneurship is when Nigerian graduates of electrical engineers can produce transformers, power generation turbines, alternators, televisions from local technologies. Metallurgical engineers must be able to produce steel for oil and gas pipelines as well as in train and car manufacturing. Combustion engines, pumps, hydraulic and pneumatic parts must be what our mechanical engineers must be able to manufacture from their companies. Businesses of agricultural science graduates should able to feed the nation cos they should empowered to do so. This is what is called real entrepreneurship.

Businesses that leads to industrialisation are offshoots of science and technological discoveries and investments. The kind of entrepreneurship Nigeria needs is one in which Nigerian chemical engineers can set up refineries and petrochemical companies with the aid local resources. I would also love to see mobile phones, computers and other information technology gadgets developed and commercialised by Nigerian graduates of computer science. 

The entrepreneurship that Nigeria needs is one in which local engineering enterprises will be able to metamorphous  into multinationals like General Electric, Ford Motors, Chevron, Microsoft Corporations,Tata Steel and the likes. This is how we can solve the problem of unemployment as well as put an end to the massive importation of good in Nigeria. However, with this, Nigeria will become industrialised and be listed among the developed nations of the world.

Sorry to burst your bubble but Entrepreneurship isn't about innovation but basically about meeting people's needs...the means might eventually be via innovation or copycat...whichever means but it's majorly and basically about meeting people's needs.

The Asians are renowned for being wonderful copycats yet they have a formidable economy today simply because they've been meeting the needs of majority of people especially Africans when you consider Techno, Infinix, Gionee, Toyota, Honda etc...

So if I'm selling pure water as long as I'm meeting people's needs I'll be a great entrepreneur... A woman sells "Akara" in front of my shop and i notice how she started from scratch...when i left the place i started noticing she and her daughters had started wearing 9ice clothes...only God knows where she'll get to from there...

The most important thing isn't Innovation but Attitude as dats what will determine your Altitude in life...

End Of Psquare: Peter Okoye Performs As A SOLO Act In Abuja As 'Mr P'(PHOTOS


It seems it’s finally time to believe that one of Africa’s finest pop duo, Psquare has come to an end.

After weeks of social media ranting,dropping a solo song etc, Peter Okoye has finally made his debut as a solo act under the name ‘Mr P’.

Peter Okoye aka ‘Mr P’ performed at a night club in Abuja last night without his twin, Paul. He’ll also be performing alone on April 7, 2016 in Dubai.

So sad!We will surely miss their performance

How can you compare Greater USA care to third world countries
Every pregnant woman in USA with no income gets automatic Medicaid insurance which is free covering all maternity care for mother then newborn baby until they are five years old
At least talk of what you know.

You yourself just mentioned medicaid insurance which gets some governmental support... How many of our private hospitals have developed to that level? Till then we must make do with what we have until the government ate held accountable and made responsible but instead of doing that you'll prefer to transfer your aggression to the poor doctor...that's d attributes of a weakling!

why not help her find a more convenient job in addition to dashing out money, however, is Linda a bank, with the way she's giving out cash anyhow.

what exactly is her game plan, because obviously if its just about dashing out money ceaselessly, the cash for don finish.

How is she making the money back?

and can she not help men in addition to women?

Nothing pesin do for ds lyf wey dem no go talk.

planetx:
You must be out of your mind comparing the US health care system to this primitive savagery I just watched. It's true if you don't have health insurance you will not get the best treatnent, but no US hospital will reject anybody presented at the ER whether you have money or insurance or not.

Saying I'm out of my mind shows how savage you yourself are....dats d reason you can't understand the correlation of the statement just made...d USA has government backing for all emergency procedures even up to private hospitals which is also obtainable in most government hospitals in Nigeria but unfirtunayely not in private hospitals...so you expect the private hospitals to run at a loss because of Hippocratic oath even when d doctor has staffs like gateman,laundry,substaff,nurse & himself to pay....most patient will swear with their mother's grave to pay after treatment only to beat d doctor up afterwards... Guy continue your mental masturbation...

Are you are a konga staff
If you are, you should be ashamed of yourself.

Didn't you see where I asked him if 8pm was fine? If it wasn't he could have said so for me to leave money with my security man at home the next day and he'll deliver the items to him.

The stuffs were much and didn't have a car then to carry it home.
That's why I preferred my home address.

I left my house when he called me because he couldn't locate the place and I was running from one junction to the next to find him.
Why the hell should I have 30k on me at night?
A lady for that matter.

Is that enough for him to walk away??
Despite that I came to look for him so he could find the address I ordered with??

Are you guys trained at all in that company?
You ask a customer not complain?
Only a dissatisfied customer complains.
They hire you and you treat to customer anyhow you like.

No mind dem...instead of them to see & accept their fault so they can correct it...they'll rather behave like Lai Mohammed and push the blame back to you...mshewww!

oh my God,i think this people are cruel even more than nigeria doctors,their government must intervene,this is inhuman,

If you're wise you'll know it's not about docs being wicked but about how the health system is ran worldwide. Even the USA is guilty of same....

Watch John Q by Denzel Washington and see the same occurrence in d Almighty US of A....den you'll understand what I'm talking about better...

Health system is even worse in USA and people lament about hospital bills...even the HMOs are now seen for the money-grabbing folks they're. I dunno how i can explain better to you but that's how it is in most parts of the world.

Alphanancy:
Please i am just curious how my christian friends will address this issue.
If i go to my church and be praying for all my or a particular enemy to die. It is deemed as okay because it was done in the church.
Likewise when i go to the herbalist shrine to pray for same enemies to die, i am accused of being evil. What is the difference since the will and intention is the same.

Just needed to express my thought.

One is legal d other is not...
