Mumu...I'm sure u no Sabi where South Africa de for map..

When you compare a white South African to a Nigerian the land definitely belongs to the White South African and the Nigerian is a stranger.

Offpoint:
and you skip the without killing it part to portray your point.
as long as they're still living inside their host "their mother" they're definitely parasite... no grammar and long story

Foetuses don't ALWAYS kill pregnant women so you cannot say a foetus kills when the number of successful pregnancies are way higher than than the unsuccessful ones. The keyword as I stated there is the benefit a pregnant woman derives from the pregnancy. It is key thing that distinguishes a foetus from a parasite

Here is a dictionary definition of a parasite:

"An animal or plant that lives in or on a host (another animal or plant); it obtains nourishment from the host without benefiting or killing the host"

Going by that definition, the keyword there is "without benefiting". Since pregnant women benefit from the foetus by obtaining the joy of having a baby then a foetus is not a parasite.

What if Super Eagles managed to reach the world cup final and you placed a bet that would pay you a huge sum of money if they lose at the final, will you be praying for Super Eagles to make history and win the world cup or will you be praying for them to lose so you can win your bet?

seankay:
9jabet things

Lol. Thank God for 9jabet so if super Eagles lose their world cup matches but you won the bets there will still be something to console and make you happy.

People go dey celebrate goal and when you hear noise you no go know whether na for super Eagles or their opponents

Kellibae:
They can't even look at those pretty girls faces

It's only in Africa where black girls are hot cakes

But I thought people said she is engaged?

KhadyM:
Majority of people viewing this thread are MEN... I wonder why

Because we are the ones to suffer when it gets smelly. So we need the knowledge too to remind ladies what they should do to keep it healthy. The owners of the vaginas may not even realize it's giving off a foul odor.

Those who are poorly educated also have a poor taste of music. The kind of music making waves in Nigeria is a reflection of the population who patronize the music. In Nigeria where many people are poorly educated the choice of music will definitely be poor.

Physical attraction is not LOVE.

Why? Because the LOVE you claim to have for the person will end when those physical attractive attributes start fading away.

What is love?

Am sure you are part of those castigating the IGP for grammatical blunders.

Can you point out the grammatical blunder?

After booking space and spending several minutes thinking of what to say you still come up with something stupid.

Why not buried in her home country? Even corpses are rejecting Nigeria.

LaCruzz:
Visiting people you meet online is very dangerous... Especially in a private place,why didn't she tell the guy to wait for her in an eatery or restaurant.. Hmmmm rip to her

How do you know it has anything to do with who she met? What if it was illness? They way most of you reason and draw conclusions here is quite disappointing.

Promzyunique:
N u tink is as easy as u said?? If she accepts Islam dy will kill her....I pray she doesn't..is better she dies a Christian((( in Dan live as a muslim

Why would they kill her when she accepts Islam?

xpiranza:
if she accept she will be killed..na two zero for her so she did d right thing

Why would she be killed?

[quote author=xpiranza post=67549332][/quote]Why would she be killed?

I thought she was asked to accept Islam before she gets released. Why didn't she just pretend to accept it so she can gain her freedom?

omohayek:
You can preach and sermonize all you want, it still won't change the fact that no one is obliged to sacrifice their own right to a chance at happiness for anybody else's sake, especially when you can't even offer any evidence that the sacrifice won't have been in vain.

Do you know how many members of my immediate family made the mistake of swallowing the sort of rubbish you're peddling here, and returned from privately funded medical studies abroad to serve their sh*thole of a country? Every single one of them ended up regretting it in the end, with their sacrifices not acknowledged in the slightest, and their ability to influence things for the better nonexistent. Naturally, they've all relocated back abroad, where they are doing well in countries where education and talent mean something: these are places where nobody has to waste time on empty "patriotic" sermons like yours, because the incentives in place encourage people to do the right thing without prompting.

Let me tell you a fable which might get the message across better. One upon a time, 50 people were on a bus, when one of them noticed that the vehicle was rapidly heading for a ravine. He repeatedly cried out that the driver needed to stop, but neither the driver nor the other passengers would listen; instead, the rest of the passengers were arguing over who would get to sit next to the driver, who would have a window seat, and other such petty irrelevancies. Having failed to persuade anyone else of the imminent danger they were in, our passenger now started shouting that he would jump out the window, at which point the others started to accuse him of "lacking faith" in the driver's skills, of not being a "team player", and of being "selfish" in wanting to live while the rest of them died - even though none of them wanted to actually lift a finger to prevent the mass death they were facing! Our passenger jumped, broke a few bones, but lived to tell the tale, while his heedless companions went over the hill under the leadership of the driver they'd placed so much faith in. The funny thing, though, is that even as these shortsighted bus-passengers rapidly descended to the fiery doom, the focus of their anger was not on the driver who caused the agonizing death they were about to face, but on the individual who had the cheek to "selfishly" escape the common fate they were about to share!

You are the equivalent of those passengers on the bus who reserve their lectures for the passenger who eventually jumped and lived, while having nothing to say to those really to blame, namely themselves and their blind "faith" in the careless driver they hero-worshipped. Keep on with the empty moralizing and preachifying, and see where it gets you in the end: meanwhile Nigeria's professionals will continue to emigrate to countries where their efforts are appreciated and properly rewarded, and where the land of their birth will become nothing more than a means to scare their children into behaving properly: "do your homework or I will send you to live in Nigeria!"

If you have decided to run away then you should NEVER complain about the terrible state of affairs in Nigeria. You have absolutely no right to condemn the country because you are contributing zero effort in changing the bad situation. Do you think the leaders are the only ones who should change the country? It is the duty of every citizen to change their country. If citizens are complaining of bad leadership and they are taking no serious actions to fight the rot in the system then they are also responsible for the ugly situation of country and they deserve the rubbish they get from the government and you should NEVER complain. I hope I wouldn't find you anywhere on Nairaland complaining about the country anymore.

Finally I have a question to ask you which you can use to figure out whose position between us is right.
What if everyone has the mindset and the will I have to fight against the mismanagement of the country and not running away do you think the country would be in the situation it is today?

greyham:
But that was not what you said.

This is what you said



You never talked about the mode of training until someone else mentioned it.

If you must lower entry requirements the learning process must be greatly improved FIRST to have better trained graduates unless you're prepared to handle more quacks in the system.

I didn't include it in my first post because that wasn't what my post was all about. It was more about replacing the exiting doctors. Then your first reply to my post came as follows:

So you want to lower the standards?

The country has more than enough quacks in the health sector.

I then had to tell you lowering grades for entry should not translate to lowering standards, and it has more to to with quality of training.

biafra why the delay

why?
why??

You think Biafra will solve these problems too? You must be day dreaming. As long as Biafrans are still blacks don't expect anything different.

thesicilian:
True, it's not possible for everyone to leave. But would you rather have employees with poor job satisfaction who are only working for you because they have no choice elsewhere, than to address the major issues that are making them leave in the first place?
Bearing fully in mind that it is not only the doctor that is leaving, even the nurse, engineer, pharmacist, architect, economist, accountant are all involved in this mass exodus.

The problem here is selfishness. Every man for himself. As professionals are leaving they are simply weakening the voice and power of their colleagues left behind and making them so weak to push for reforms and nothing will ever be done about the situation. So don't expect any thing to be done about it since everyone's mind is focused on leaving rather than fighting against the ugly situation. The day we will all decide to stay back and fight is the day things will start to change.

omohayek:
Has it ever occurred to you, in all your anger, that the ones who have the skills to successfully "run away" are doing so because they're tired of living in a system where they are forced to live under incompetents they have no power to throw out or replace? Why should a highly educated professional whose skills are in demand around the world stay in a sh*thole whose political leadership is determined by masses of mo.rons only vote based on "stomach infrastructure" and "na my kinsman"?

A nation is not a collective suicide pact. If 99% of the country wants to keep living in sh*t because they prefer tribal sentiments and vote-buying to economically-sound, ideologically coherent political platforms, that's no reason for the 1% with sense and talent to stick around and suffer for no good reason. We only have one life each to live, so why waste should anyone waste theirs being stifled by corrupt, tribalistic id.iots?

All you said above is because you feel there is another country you can run to. Therefore as someone with "common sense" you shouldn't bother yourself trying to fight the ugly situation in your country. All you stated above is the reason why this country will not advance. People prefer to abandon the country and leave it for the incompetent ones to run down. What if there is no country to run to what exactly will you do? How exactly do you expect things to change for good when people like you with the "common sense" to fight and change the situation are taking an exit? You want to have a fantastic country but you are not willing to fight for it. As long as you all keep running away then dont expect anything good from your country. You have to blame yourself too for the terrible state of affairs in your country because you chose to run rather than fighting for change. Don't blame the "incompetent" ones alone. Blame yourself too.

thesicilian:
It seems you don't know the magnitude of the problem at hand. Almost everyone is leaving or planning to leave!

But it's not possible for everyone to leave. And that's why I am suggesting the numbers of those studying medicine should increase so no matter how many eventually leaves there will still be many left behind.

greyham:
So how will lowering the entry requirements improve the mode of training as you earlier said?

I'm pointing this out because you made it sound like lowering entry requirements is the solution

I never said lowering the entry requirements will improve the mode of training. What I am saying is the entry requirement should be lowered and then the quality of training greatly improved. They should both go hand in hand. If the entry requirements is high and you have poor training you will still have quacks, but even if you lower the entry barrier and training is more intensive you will have fantastic graduates. There's no point complaining of doctors taking an exit from Nigeria when there are still millions of Nigerians capable of replacing them when the entry barrier is lowered coupled with adequate training.

ikennaf1:
This your contribution is both shameful and shameless at the same time. It reeks of sheer jealousy without a single suggestion on the way forward. You don't even want to get better... you only want the better places to have limits so that people seeking a better life will have no choice but to come wallow with you in hopelessness. Kai!

The situation is not only limited to Nigerian doctors. Every Nigerian in other fields of endeavour are running away or intend to run away from the country. I am angry with the whole situation and not just doctors because I find it disgraceful that Nigerians can't fix their own country but would rather run to a white man's land to reap the fruits of a white man's effort. This is the same white man Africans blame for destroying their continent. The "evil" white man has left a long while ago but Africans still want to troop into his country. The inability of Nigerians/Africans to fix their country is the major cause of racism against blacks.

peacengine:
At present our doctors are more like quacks. Most prescribe drug overdose and kill patients in the process. What we can do is to source for foreign doctors or make it more difficult to qualify as a doctor in Nigeria until they realize that saving lives should be their focus not money making

That's the typical mindset of the average lecturer or professor in Nigerian universities that contributes to churning out low quality graduates. They want to make it difficult for students to pass by giving poor training and then following it up with very difficult examinations. That's how they feel quality graduates should be produced. The emphasis should be on intensive training and not difficult assessments.

greyham:
So you want to lower the standards?

The country has more than enough quacks in the health sector.

Improving standard is not all about scoring a very high grade as a requirement to gain admission to study medicine. It has more to with mode of training in schools.

thesicilian:
You can't just replace someone with 10, 20, 30yrs of experience with a fresh graduate. And besides that, the conditions that made the experienced doctor to leave for greener pastures will still make your newly trained one to leave one day.

When there is someone with 30 yrs experience there is also someone with 25 years experience and then 20 years experience follows behind and so on till you get to a fresh graduate. In other words the experience levels is not only between those with 30 yrs experience and those who are fresh graduates. It varies and decreases gradually. If a doctor with 30 yrs experience leaves the country there should also be someone with 27 yrs experience left behind to replace him or her, therefore I don't think you have made a point yet.

They say Nigerian doctors are leaving Nigeria to seek greener pastures overseas resulting to a shortage of doctors. They also say the doctor to patients ratio in Nigeria is below requirement. I heard medicine is a difficult course to obtain in Nigerian tertiary institutions due to the stiff competition. So if doctors are running away from Nigeria why not lower the grade requirements to study medicine in Nigerian tertiary institutions so that more people can study medicine to counterbalance the numbers jetting out of country? So what exactly is the issue about doctors leaving Nigeria when they can be replaced?
