Striking doctors in Lagos State have
volunteered to join the team of experts
managing patients at the Infectious Diseases
Hospital, Yaba, Lagos.
The chairman, Lagos State chapter of the
Nigerian Medical Association, Dr. Tope Ojo,
who said this at a press briefing in Lagos on
Tuesday, added that strike would not stop
doctors in the state from attending to persons
suspected to have contracted the Ebola virus.
Ojo said about 30 of its members had
volunteered to join seven of the Ebola
Emergency Response and Management
Committee working on the prevention and
control of the disease at the IDH centre in
Yaba.

He said, “Strike or no strike, we must respond
to emergencies. Our doctors are at Mainland
Hospital, Yaba, were isolated contacts are
being monitored. There are seven committees
working on the management of the disease at
the centre in Lagos, which our members are
part of.

“But the committee, where we are having
challenges getting volunteers, is case
management. This are the people that work
directly with confirmed cases.

“Look at the protective measures that doctors
in Liberia and Guinea wear. They are well
protected, yet some of them still caught it. Our
doctors are worried about the danger it poses
to their lives and they need to be reassured.
“We understand their fears and we are making
moves to confirm the level of preparedness of
the government for doctors.”

He informed that the infected doctor, who is
presently on admission at the Mainland
Hospital, Yaba, was responding to treatment.
“We know that the infected doctor is stable,
however, the matron is in a critical condition.
But everybody, including the experts from the
World Health Organisation, is doing all they
can,” he said.

A member of one of the of the committees,
Dr. Babajide Saheed, said the doctors were
working closely with the WHO and other
stakeholders to contain the risk of the
spreading the infection.

Saheed said, “Not all doctors can attend to an
Ebola patient. In fact you must limit the
number of health workers treating affected
persons just to contain the risk.
“We will be escalating the situation if doctors
rush to Mainland Hospital just to attend to
patients.

I used to have an application on my lost phone called "5001 facts". ever since the phone got stolen, I have searched for the application on net but couldn't get it.

cronsberg: Here is their plan. REintroduce ribadu into the PDP, then quickly and shabily give him the governorship ticket without due process, by then adamawa state APC would have already conducted primaries and chosen a governorship candidate(ribadu was the strong man there, so without him, APC will have no option but to field a weak candidate), then some topshots will claim ribadu was illegally given the PDP ticket, that they want a rerun primaries by which they will use to reclaim there ticket back and hand it over to Marwa who by then will have no strong contender and will win a landslide and sideline ribadu to the gutters. So the poor ribadu will end up with neither PDP nor APC governorship ticket

I hope the guy will be wise enough not to fall for this cheap trick

Leibnitz: I'm not a policeman o o !!

the case is already with the police and they are more interested in arresting his relatives(but I doubt he would return home as a result).i want the police continue with whatever they think is necessary, but I want to try track him through this route as well.

I trusted a childhood friend and he duped me of about 2.5million naira. Cant post full details now because i dont want him suspicious of my plans.

Though he claims to be outside the country through a message on Facebook(though I believe he is still within the country but wants to frustrate my plans of searching for him).

To cut the long story short,i have tried reaching him through his mobile but his lines are off.

I have a mobile number that I believe will make me pick him once I confirm where the holder(be it himself or someone else) is..
I don't know if I can track him with that mobile number since its active.
If I can, please how do I go about it?

The French are thieves. they never gave independence directly to the africa francophones . the only benefit they have is being governed by black men.most companies in the countries are French companies providing goods and services for exorbitant prices. Most of these countries do not own their indigenous central bank having their money printed and regulated in France.they devaluate the CFA franc at any time to suit France's economy.Laurent gbagbo was not a party to France's
extortion. he condemned many France policy.major reason France instigated the war in ivory coast for the fear of taming their sources of survival as gbagbo had stopped the rentage of the national assembly built by France in ivory coast, introducing well meaning companies ( Mtn and others got access to ivory coast as a result)

Good news though the pump price of fuel won't be reduced

I never needed an autopsy to conclude the bored holes on iyayi's corps aren't from a gun shot.
ASUU has given us reasons we should think their fight has some political undertones(though have tried,all along, not to believe but it gets more obvious each passing minute)
May God save this country from both the devils we know and the angels we don't know.

eightsin: What happened to having 2 sims?

I don't like the idea of carrying more than one phone

obadiah777: the script is not ready made so you can act it out. the script is ready made based on how you will act. how you will act has been known by him from the start so the script is written based on how you will act and not written so you should act it out. so you still have the freewill. just so happens he knows what you will use your freewill for so he wrote the story before hand. ability to predict your future does not negate freewill

Thanks for your response.but I think if He knew what I would use my free will for,then that's not free will.

[quote author=Area_boy]my friend, you have finally stumbled on the conundrum that is "freewill".

Omnipotence and freewill cant go together.

you cannot give freewill when you know what will happen already[/quote]We are on the same page.this is my point exactly.so let's stay and learn together

obadiah777: yes he does. but things still have to play out anyway. he cant say because i know you will not make it, then i need to bbq you straight away. you have to actually go out and live the life. him knowing your end is not contradictory with freewill. you had the freewill to make the choices you did but it just so happens he knows these choices ahead of time.

isaiah 46 vs 10 Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure:

Are u saying we are strictly acting to a ready made script?please shed more light

This has got me thinking for a long time but the more I do,the more confuse I become.

We believe God knows everything(including those events that haven't occurred)
meaning:he already knows those that are hell bound.

On the contrary,God has given us free will,so we act according to our choices. he also wishes we repent each time we go astray.
meaning:he doesn't know when an individual probably will repent therefore can't tell who and who will go to hell

These two contradicting paragraphs have always brought confusion to me.I will love to get people's opinion,hence, be clarified

I ported off the mtn network for etisalat over 3 months ago.I enjoyed and suffered the following:
Enjoyed these:
*Lesser call rates to all network
*Better network services for calls and internet surfing(though I think this vary from place to place)
*I enjoy 100 percent bonus on each recharge.unlike mtn,bonus isn't charged above normal tariff
*I feel like the boss and etisalat the servant(reverse for mtn)
Suffered these:
*Immediately stopped receiving bank alerts.(There has been fraud on my account as a result)
*Stopped receiving international sms
*Can't transfer nor receive airtime from an etisalat network.
*Etisalat numbers can't call me with their bonus airtime designed to call only etisalat lines
*Very expensive calling international numbers(unlike mtn where I can easily add one on my family and friends list).

I'm so confuse and don't know if I should port back.
Please advise me and share your experience as well.
