get a WiFi especially that one that Elon musk owned

Thanks for the suggestion. Do they have an annual plan?

I spend average of N5,000 daily on Airtel data which amounts to about 2 million naira every year.

Recently, I observed that Airtel just shuts me out of the internet almost every 2 hours, even when I have robust data.

This has continued unabated for the past 6 months, and they are relentless about it. I have called them several times to complain, what I get is the usual questions,which ends with 'switch off your phone for 5 minutes'.

I hold virtual seminars and meeting on DNA testing and genetic testing with both local and international clients. Getting shut out of the internet while you are doing this can be very embarrassing and financially costly.

Why should I have data and yet struggle to browse the internet, even when the costs of their data is now so exorbitant.


I need a lasting solution and alternative.

What is the best hitchless internet service provider and how much does it to subscribe.

Business owners, internet gurus please bring your suggestions.

I want to cut off Airtel for good. I'm tired.

In the next 20 years, many DISCOs and GENCOs will be irrelevant to many families.

People are going off-grid everyday, while embracing solar. They are telling 'NEPA' to go hell because it is now obvious that even 'NEPA' has given up on the provision of constant electricity.

One rule I have learnt in the business world and in life generally. Do not beg a bully, connect with a power higher than that bully and the bully will scamper for safety.

You were too quick to take the 'out-of-court' settlement. Your lawyer has to squeeze the tie around their necks and let them beg for fresh air.

OP, that test is a urinalysis test that serves an 'indicator' or 'pointer' to the presence of certain ailments. However, it is not an exhaustive or comprehensive test.

Do a comprehensive check and stop being miserly about your health.

U have an infection of the kidneys.

Why do you people like to give fake verdicts. What parameter on that test indicates that he has Pyelonephritis (Kidney infection)?

You lots just enjoy opening your mouths and giving unlettered opinions on issue that you have not the slightest inkling about.

Cmanforall:
Abuja!
Obi Cubana could have had his brother in the National Assembly now, but he didn't support Peter Obi during last election. This made his brother, despite having his State's ruling party's ticket (APGA), lose the national assembly election (which was held same day with the presidential election)

It was a great political error that his brother joined APGA instead of LP. That was serious political myopia.. Heck, even Okada riders were winning elections on LP.

His elder brother would have definitely being in the National Assembly by now if he were in LP. I hope they learn from that mistake.

Goodadvice01:
Nekede sir. I don't know how to drive truck but I can learn fast sir. I promise you I will learn it fast sir

There is no easy way. You young men want to 'hammer fast', because you see your peers who are fraudsters buying cars and houses. Then you feel pressured.

No one wants to learn a trade and put in the work anymore. To see a level-headed young man ready to serve for 4-5 years in apprenticeship is like looking for a needle in a haystack..


Go learn a trade in Onitsha, Aba or Nnewi.
There are even a lot of Yorubas in Aba doing extremely well in fashion design, shoe designs.

Waste of money.

I doubt that a Senator has such immunity. Are you for real?

Quarterpast:
I understand that during heat periods, ones pubic part tends to itch terribly after shaving.

Before I shaved, I had itches. I thought it was the hair that was causing this, so I decided to get a shaving stick(BIC shaving stick) and cleared the bush. But sadly, after shaving my armpits and pubic region, the itching got worse. I am a very hairy type. I have lots of hair on my scrotum sac, sometimes the hair covers the entire sac. The itching has now become so terrible and uncomfortable to me that when it starts, I begin to scratch uncontrollably. I've injured myself on the sac as a result of over-scratching. I can be walking on the road and in a public place, when it starts, I can't help but begin to scratch. The armpit doesn't itch, but the sac.
Doctors in the house, please help me🙏🙏.

Go for medical tests, include fungal studies in the investigation. It could be Jock itch caused by Trichophyton specie fungus.

No amount antibacterial will heal fungal infections, and no amount of antifungal will heal a bacterial infection..

So go for tests and get the proper diagnosis.

MadamExcellency:
There is nothing like that standing after the war except a few fortified concrete built by the British. Everything was levelled beyond Gaza graphics.

I know the place in Eke Mgbidi, on Onitsha-Owerri expressway..That house survived the war.

While reading the script I could sense the flow of AI language. I am a Professor in an online Institution and I read tons of articles weekly. I know when students use AI for their assignments.

Dr. Alex Adekunle, apart from your written name, the body of your text is 100% AI generated. A medical professional should be able generate articles with his raw intellect. I do not care about your political leanings. I am apolitical myself.

However,I was salivating to read a well thought-out article, but was disappointed reading the mechanics of AI-language in your text. Haba na. Do you want people to mock and laugh us in the medical field?

I would advise you to read Newspapers columnists like Prof. Kperogi and Prof. Odinkalu if you want to enhance your article-writing skills in the field of politics.

See attached evidence.

You lack knowledge.
Every Nigerian hospital has an Admin officer!

And what give you the impression that hospital Administration(Health finance and management)is not part of Doctors course unit ?

By the way each paramedics have their own head in the hospital..Director pharmacy,Director of Admin,Director of med lab science,Director of Nursing etc ..Director of medical services(CMAC).Doctor is often position as the head because by virtue of their training and the practice they determine when each other paramedics service is needed in patient management,so by default they are the head of the healthcare team.

No be by emotion but knowledge and rationality!

Nurse, Pharmacists, MLS are not paramedics. Paramedics are EMTs . Get your facts right.

Kobicove:
Once there is heavy rain in Lagos expect the roads to become clogged with traffic, this is typical of Lagos State

That's why I keep driving in the rain regardless. If you wait for all the Lagos motorists taking shelter during the rain, when the rain stops, you will find yourself stuck in crazy traffic.

All the cars will be out at the same time, clogging all the arteries of the roads all at once. Nobody would want to obey traffic signs because they wanna get home on time.

Fiscus105:
She has missed her chances when oddd still low in her favour, now she is handicapped......she missed it becos of hypergamy nature in women. Her own even skyrocketed.


So many, accountants, engineers, lawyers, doctors etc working in her daddy companies, any of these guys/men would have been worshiped her in marriage as goddess..

I pray our inner spirit shouldn't destroy our outer being!

I am of the opinion that people like her from ultra-rich families should stay of the public domain, especially the ever-chaotic entertainment industry.

She would have been married by now, and then go into politics to solidify her family's status as one of the most Powerful families in Nigeria..

TinubuCriminal:
Super Eagles, in their power play against Finidi, dug their own grave by deliberately losing & drawing cheap matches against tiny teams.

They thought it was still the era of unserious African football where they will wake up midway and still qualify.


If Nigeria does not make the World cup, Osimhen, Ndidi, Lookman, Simon, Ekong, Iheanacho and all the strong men of the squad that kept missing sitters against Lesotho & Benin should be executed at Bar Beach alongside Wike for treason.

If Simon and Chukweze can just stop their showboating and get the ball in the opponents boxes more frequently, then we might have a chance.

For a misfiring team like the Eagles who is yet to have a coordinated attack, you may need at least 40 crosses or inswingers to get just one goal. That means you don have time to dribble or pass to defenders at the back. Just get the ball in the opponents red zones.

Na their back pass gan gan dey always vex me. You are looking for a goal, time is ticking, dem give you ball for attacking area of midfield, you carry ball dey pass go defenders for back.

Where is the sense of urgency and why then are you an offensive midfielder?

Wow..

That house in the background is still standing.

You don’t try explaining these things. 🤫

At the end of the day, 10 to 20 years from now, they will be all over their HODs begging for admission slot into medicine and surgery for their children.
Been there, seen all those.

Allow them bask in their grandiosity of making diagnosis while increasing resistance of organisms to drugs, as well as increasing the incidence of renal failures with their diagnostic acumen.

Them choke for Aba.
No worry yourself.

Na OSCE trained doctors dey worsen the matters sef.
Every small complaint, lab test and US.
No proper Hx taking and physical examination.

If you don't believe in lab tests for documentary evidence of your clinical findings, when you practice in the US and patients overwhelm you with malpractice claims you go know how far.

Basic123:
Alot of factors can contribute to misdiagnosis,not only disregard of test result(which most of the time is valid,study medicine and you will know why).
Laboratory errors from your end can also contribute,doctors poor clinical decision making,Nurses ineptitude etc.That is why the doctor whose the bucks end on his table have to be deligent and have high index of suspicion when your lab result,Nurses vital signs and radiographers results and not in keeping with his clinical assessment.There was a reputable hospital where I had once worked whose malaria test was never negative after working there for good 6mths.I had to alert the CMD and lab head.

So,disregarding results (A perfect example is when you grow staph aureus in ?CAUTI) is the least cause of misdiagnosis compared to what I listed above.

We are also well aware that Hospitals and Physicians employ only Lab Technicians or graduates of Science Lab Tech instead of licensed Medical Laboratory Scientist to run their labs in order to cut costs.

Don't you think the employment of quacks and non-qualified personnel contribute significantly to these medical errors and disregard of lab tests?

Basic123:
Who is saying that his opinion doesn't hold water when he actually help the doctors in SOME of the diagnosis...and you are not the only ones that do,Nurses also help with their vital signs and fluid charts.Although,there are thousands of diseases whose diagnosis are purely clinical.No test is needed to confirm,especially most psychiatric illness and some surgical diseases.

The point is that he doesn't have the final say and he doesn't have any reason to argue.Give him your lab result,you have done your job.The doctor will combine the result with so many other information he has that the scientist doesn't have to make his conclusion.He will also never interfer in the way you mix your chemicals or view your microscope to get your result even though he has an idea.

There are times doctors disregard lab findings base on so many other parameters and guildelines.Its not as straightforward as you think.For example,that a nurse gives a doctor high BP reading doesn't mean he should start treating the patient for hypertension. There are so many things to be considered,including some of the informations that might come from your lab to make that decision.

That your second to the last paragraph is not your work,although you may have an idea just like the pharmacist and other paramedics do.Just like the doctors may have an idea of some test procedure,but it's still not his work!

Doctors respect you and appreciate the good work you do to make the whole management go smoothly. Everyone should just maintain his lane.

God bless us

Do you have any data on the prevalence of clinical misdiagnosis in our hospitals? It was 32.4% when I did my M.Sc few years ago. Are we sure the disregard of medical test results do not contribute to these figures?

Nigeria is one of the easiest countries where you can get away with medical malpractice/negligence. We all know that and we know why. Illiteracy on the part of the patient/patient's relatives contributes to a part of it.

I am very much aware that many patients and relatives are now getting to know their rights in a country like Nigeria with a chaotic healthcare system.

May God help us all.

The second to last paragraph says a Medical Laboratory Scientist sees causative organisms more than the Physician as part of the exigencies of his job.. That is a known fact.
Do you carry microscopes during ward rounds?

If you dispute it, you can provide counter evidential facts. We are on a public forum, and people are reading and learning.

Let's enhance their knowledge about the medical field.

Basic123:
Making a diagnosis is still not within the purview of his training.Making diagnosisis beyond conducting lab test. There is a difference between medicine and medical lab science.Also,there is a difference between medicine and surgery.
You are the one misleading people here!

If you are making on your own clinical diagnosis by only the observation of sign and symptoms, nobody is quarrelling with you. You are well within your right as a physician. Whether you patients would be satisfied is a different thing entirely.

However, headache, Fever, Anorexia are symptoms shared by thousands of different diseases, the Medical Laboratory is there to make differential and definitive diagnosis based on the patient's demographics, clinical manifestations etc..as it did during the COVID-19 global scourge.

Clinical Laboratory Diagnostics is entirely within his professional purview.
As long the diagnosis involves medical laboratory input, he is requested to write a report based on his investigatins. He is an expert,expected to be very much grounded in one of the many subfields of medical laboratory diagnostics.



The job descriptions are clear, the MLS is well-versed and can discuss the diseases he investigates in the lab. Infact he sees the causative organisms and agents of these disease more often than you do as part of the exigencies of his job.

So, pray tell, why do you think his opinion should hold no water when diseases and diagnostics are being discussed?

femi4:
Go to reputable hospital..you no gree

Did you read the piece? The man is AA, but used the excuse of 'My genotype changed to call off the wedding'.

He found another girl.

Basic123:
But he is not a medical doctor right?
There is a clear cut job description
He is not meant to make diagnosis and formulate management plan.He can't become a medical doctor
through the backdoor.

His doctor is like that of a Ph.d holder.
If he so much desires to be making diagnosis and manage patient he should enrol in a medical school.

If he graduated from those places I mentioned earlier or has a PhD..He is a Doctor of MedLab and a primus inter pares in his field.

The Physician has his own job description, just as the Pharmacist does..

The MLS guy did not tell you he is a Physician. He is a Medical Scientist and his opinion on Medical Diagnostics cannot be dismissed. He definitely knows more than you do on Medical Laboratory procedures and the validity of clinical laboratory testing. That is his field and he is expected to be an authority therein. He does not need to back to any school to claim what he already has, if wishes to remain and practice in Medical Laboratory Science which basically involves the study, investigation and diagnosis of diseases in the medical laboratory.

Just as the opinion of a Pharmacist on drugs cannot be dismissed by a Physician. It is not about ego, it is about the lives on the line. The Pharmacist is king in that field.

If you had told us the MLS guy was arguing with you about Surgical procedures, then I would fault him, as that is not within the purview of his training.

We must not mislead people here on public platforms, because you feel the urge to sustain a certain bias or agenda.

Basic123:
Medlab grandiosity no be here ooo.
One came to me and he started arguing a diagnosis. I asked him if he is a doctor he said yes,doctor of lab.That he can interpret result.

If he studied the D.MLS in Ghana, India or US, yes he is a Doctor of MedLab.

And yes, interpreting medical laboratory results accrued from clinical laboratory testing methodologies is within the purview of the job of the Medical Lab Scientist/Biomedical Scientist. Ask Grok or Meta.

This is also dependent on the level of education, training and experience of the Scientist.

For instance, to perform and interpret High-complexity test in the US, you would need higher experience as an MLS, specialized training or even an M.Sc. In the UK, you would need to be a Specialist Biomedical Scientist on a higher Band. Any well-grounded MLS can interpreted Low-Medium complexity tests.

The same thing applies to physicians, you can't compare a fresh Post-NYSC green-horn physician to a Consultant in Nephrology.
