Can you kindly name the centers where radiation therapy is offered in Nigeria.

National Hospital, Abuja
LUTH-NSIA cancer center
Marcell Ruth Cancer Center

Radiation therapy is mainly used to treat cancer but very low energy radiation and electrons are used to treat keloids

There are a number of treatments typical offered for Keloids like injecting steroids into the keloids by your doctors. The challenge is that most keloids come back and the ultimate treatment is surgical removal followed by radiation therapy within 24 to 48 hrs. There are a number of centers that offer radiation therapy in Nigeria

Giving competent young people leadership roles and opportunity to further prove themselves is a great development. We need more of such diversity in our political space; not everytime recycling of same old men, let's give young men and women (like in this case) the platform. They may just make the difference.

Kowa Party on Saturday announced the appointment of Adebanke Ilori, 26, a legal practitioner as its Acting National Publicity Secretary.

In the appointment letter sent to Adebanke, the National Chairman, Comrade Mark Adebayo, charged her to discharge her responsibilities to the best of her abilities and promised the cooperation and support of all the members of the party.


Professor Oluremi Sonaiya, the party’s Presidential candidate in the 2015 elections, stated that she was confident Adebanke’s appointment is a positive development for the party.

Adebanke Ilori is a Lawyer and the Executive Director of Raising New Voices Initiative, a non governmental organization working on youth representation in governance and the organization behind the #BreakTheHold campaign crowdfunding the campaign of 25 young people into the House of Representatives.

She is also the Managing Editor of Lawyard.ng, a leading online platform for interactions around the practice of law in Nigeria.


She is an Alumnus of Obafemi Awolowo University, the Nigerian Law School Bwari Abuja, Fredrich Ebert Stiftung Open Minds Young Voices Fellowship, YALI West Africa Regional Leadership Centre and Bridgewater State University under the Mandela Washington Fellowship where she studied Public Management.

Her six years work and volunteer experience spans across public interest litigation, corporate law, development and inclusive governance. She joined the party in 2015 and was the erstwhile Secretary of the National Youth Caucus.

Adebanke would serve in the role pending the Party’s National Convention where a substantive National Publicity Secretary would be elected.

I got my boss a 200m ministry of works contract earlier this yr, he refused to finance it saying that its too close to elections.

We sold it out and counted our loss.

The guy who bought it did 60% and has since been trying to get paid. I hope he gets paid sha cos that ministry get as e be. You need serious leg to get paid there.

Buhari tried to sanitize that ministry but the right effect has not been felt. At least they dont dish out contracts anyhow like they did under GEJ when the funds to pay where obviously not available.

Hi, if the guy that bought it has still not been paid, I can help him get paid so we could discuss business.

This whole JOHESU thing is tiring. They are just fighting an unjust battle which is an eternally lost one. They just want to further destroy the healthcare in Nigeria.

Let me just explain one or two of what they are clamouring for to those that are not very medically inclined

1. Just because doctors are appointed consultants, they want same. Let us examine who a consultant is in the hospital setting and his responsibilities.

A consultant is a medical doctor who finished medical school, did housemanship and NYSC then writes an exam called primaries which is very tough and competitive with an average pass rate of 20% (not cause majority fail but they choose the top scores as pass) then work as a medical officer for varying years (some more than 10 years) before starting residency. The residency is the postgraduate studies to be come consultants in various specialities like neurosurgery, plastic surgery, Paediatrics etc.
The residency training is a rigorous one and the resident doctor works for no less than 68 hours in a week, runs the emergency, clinics, do ward rounds, teach medical students and even nursing and other students. The resident doctor also does case and seminar presentations carries out researches, writes academic papers and does a thesis (all these and more are necessary prerequisites to become a consultant). This residency takes 6 to 12 years depending on the specialty and it also incorporates very tough specialty exams.

Also take note that a doctor that does not do residency but has 20 years of work and surgical experience is not decorated a consultant.
So for a pharmacist, nurse or medical record personnel to just wake up and say because they have 10 years experience they should be decorated consultants is very laughable and shows myopia, greed and the entitlement mentality that defines JOHESU.

Also, and more importantly, the consultant is the person in charge of patient care and determines what tests, what drugs, what nursing care the patient needs and is indisputably the head of the team. He plays a vital central lead role and he determines who needs to see a pharmacist or a nurse or a lab technician. This comes with its challenges too, for instance, if any thing goes wrong in patient care, it is the consultant that carries the medicolegal burden. So of what use is the consultant pharmacist or nurse in this setting? The patient will only suffer and the standard of care will further depreciate as there will be confusion due to the many unnecessary captains of the ship who can do nothing more.


2. The want equal pay. This is in no way reasonable to any right thinking person as doctors don't do same work or add same value as any other person in the health sector. Is it in the emergency room, theatre or even laboratory?

Let me paint a scenario here. A 55year old doctor with say 25years experience that is a neurosurgeon, for instance, will frequently stand long hours doing very complex surgeries despite his rank, age and status. But a nurse, pharmacist or lab person with similar age and experience will just sit in the ward, pharmacy or lab bossing and tossing the younger ones about, doing absolutely nothing. They add little to no value and are no match in competency or ability but want same pay and remuneration, what an irritating greed and entitlement mentality. All these can only happen in Nigeria

Attached is a comparison of the ratio of the average earnings of healthcare professionals in different countries. In most cases, doctors earn x2 of what pharmacists and others earn but because of a difference of 20 - 50k naira at different levels, they keep going on strike.

Okay you have a point. I thought you were generalizing. But from the post, do you in anyway acquiesce to the kind of hate speeches dished out by Dr sanusi on those medical students? For me it's not justifiable in any way. From what I could elicit from him(dr sanusi), I only see a man filled with dudgeon and acrimony. He had already judged them before the exam they took. The write up, said that UITH sent up-to 500 names of those that surpassed the exam but the Dr decided to upload only 200 which is still very wrong, what happened to the remaining names.
Though we have mushroom medical schools littered almost in every part of the world but notwithstanding, there are still good ones too. Ukraine for instance, has a good medical school (kharkiv medical school),a very standard school, Just google it.Though the most important thing is self development but school is also important. Likewise in Nigeria, there is unn, UI, OAU, and there is Lasu, esut, ebsu, imsu and also babcock, It doesn't mean that if I couldn't get UI that babcock or Lasu is not an option.If I can't lay my hands on iPhone, there are other options like techno, Samsung, or even Nokia,at the end we are still doing the same thing.
As for the exam they took, it's like that in every part of the world,why are Nigerian students striving to write PLAB or USLME and leave Nigeria? don't we have jobs for them?haha, the poor salary and hardship is a red flag Mr.Some FMs have ambitions like politics,or to contribute their quota in the development of Nigeria.So it's paramount that you participate in the exam and also in nysc to avail you the ambition you seek. Don't also forget racism exist in all these foreign countries, so to practice won't be easy. There are so many things that can make one opt to come home to Nigeria.In Ukraine,doctors don't earn much and that could be one of the issues.

The so called hearsay that 500 passed is just what it is - a hearsay!
There's no way 500 will pass and MDCN will upload 200 names and even university of ilorin will keep quiet...That will just be MDCN challenging the credibility of the exam which UITH staff won't take lightly.

I think you're trying to claim quality of medical education in those aforementioned countries is better than in Nigeria because you have not started clinical practice. I bet you, you'll know better someday.

Medical education in Nigeria is top notch (the lecturers, curriculum, regulation and accreditation) - take it or leave it. I never knew till I interacted with doctors from all over the world. Someone who trained in Ukraine told me that he never examined a patient as a medical student, I still find that hard to believe till date but it's the truth.

We may not have the best hostels, sporting facilities and diagnostic equipment but being a good doctor has absolutely nothing to do with having a PET scan or brachytherapy machine, it's just about taking a good history, an examination and being able to put those together with the available relevant investigation report.

Nigeria is a sh*thole. They should go please.

Let them go Abeg. Nigeria is a sh*thole where the leaders don't care about the system or people striving to make things work, in fact the so called leaders will strive to make your work difficult.

It baffles me how professionals like doctors who are sought after all over the world manage to work in a place like Nigeria where there are no basic equipment, and they are still overworked and underpaid.

from the way I'm seeing things hell will be lit. It will be the happening place.

You smart. Hell is gon be the place to be. Many sinners sinning everlastingly.

Half knowledge is more dangerous than total ignorance. Sickle cell disease is different from thalassemia and everything the op wrote is tautology.
AS and AA cannot give birth to SS based on any known principle of human genetics. Nairaland should be careful with what they promote to the homepage.

Lol. There's no cause for alarm as it's a general issue, we're all in this together.
