That is wrong practice by Nigerian doctors! The rule on antibiotics stewardship says that if you must commence antibiotics treatment without conducting culture and sensitivity testing, then you start with narrow spectrum antibiotics to minimize the chances of resistance. The common microorganisms responsible for bacteria sepsis are known to respond to some narrow spectrum antibiotics, hence you're to go on those narrow spectrum antibiotics with other supportive therapies if you must prescribe antibiotics blindly, until results of your culture and sensitivity test is out. But some doctors just prescribe antibiotics indiscriminately thereby contributing to the burden of antibiotics resistance.

The problem of antibiotics resistance is a very dire one, especially in environment like ours where we care less about investing in research. So we wait for the west and China to research and sell us these antibiotics while we misuse them! If any country is to control antibiotics use and ensure very strict adherence to culture and sensitivity testing before use, that country should be Nigeria because we don't research nor produce them.


Well you have to check you updates bro.. you don't prescribe narrow spectrum antibiotics for a case of sepsis or for any case when you not even sure of the bacteria causing the infection. You think about your self. What is the essence of prescribing a narrow spectrum antibiotics when you aim at the time is to try and attack any kind of bacteria that might be responsible for the infection because as at this time the sensitivity result will not be out and you want to at least stop the bacteria or slow it down bearing in mind you don't know the bacteria actually involved.
Bro I can't be arguing constants, facts and international approved protocol with you. You still just assuming or refusing to learn.

For the records, I know drugs far more than you or any other doctor would. Nothing justifies prescribing broad spectrum antibiotics of different classes without a culture and sensitivity test! That is what doctors do in the developed world to contain the ever growing cases of microbial resistance to antibiotics! There shouldn't be blind prescriptions of antibiotics like is done in Nigeria. Nothing justifies prescribing a 3rd generation cephalosporin like cefpodoxime, a macrolide antibiotics like azithromycin, an aminoglycoside like gentamicin at the same time without running any culture and sensitivity test to ascertain the presence or otherwise of microorganisms.
I have seen them prescribe two macrolide antibiotics to a patient at the same time!

The other day, a patient was rushed in with severe pains, without running any tests the doctors placed him on ceftriaxone injection only to stop the ceftriaxone Midway when the patient was not getting any better, prompting them to start suspecting a case of malignant growth. Tell me, should ceftriaxone be the first line drug in such an emergency case when no lab investigation has been carried out??
That is how our Nigerian doctors help to fuel antibiotics resistance!

You may know all these but your problem is that you're trying to cover up for mediocre doctors many of whom we have in Nigeria! Why do you Nigerian doctors have a penchant for covering up for your mediocre colleagues Do you know the damages that attitude of yours is causing our healthcare system

I agree with you that the Nigerian system is messed up at every sector but those of us who received tertiary education up to the level of becoming professionals in healthcare and other fields should try to do the right thing always. That should be the difference between us and those who are not as educated.

Honestly you not a doctor. Practice differs according to patient , race, environment, resources available and experience.

First and foremost, sensitivity test takes days to come out. So as a doctor , with your medical knowledge starring at an infective case ie. Sepsis .. so you will wait for 3 days for your sensitivity results to come out before you commence antibiotics? NO bro you will only succeed in killing the patient. The teach every where In the world is that you prescribe antibiotics, and in such scenarios like sepsis you MUST prescribe antibiotics iv to cover every possible suspected organism .. that's why sometimes you might prescribe up to 3 antibiotics with different MOA and sensitivity.

2, you will agree with me that not all hospitals have the equipments to even do sensitivity test. Go to the govt hospitals in rural areas that's the state. So in those areas you will have to rely on your clinical judgement to save your patient.

Bro , medical practice isn't just pharmacy. OK. Doctors anywhere in the world aren't trained to rely on sensitivity or any test but embrace it as an aid to fine clinical practice. A doctor is trained to have sound clinical knowledge to make a diagnosis, or differential diagnosis, institute treatment using his history taking and clinical examination skills. And I will continue to reiterate that Nigeria has some of the best doctors home and abroad.

Maybe I should start uploading prescriptions of antibiotics prescribed by your doctor colleagues in a so called "teaching hospital". Maybe then you'll realize you're not the only one with knowledge of the poor system created by your doctor colleagues in Nigeria. Talking about "general coverage", of what exactly Without ascertaining the particular microorganism through a culture and sensitivity test Where else is that practice done?

Before you claim that Nigerian doctors are the best, why is our healthcare system in a mess The truth is that we have so many mediocre doctors practicing rubbish in the country and sending Nigerians to their early graves! Everybody is always quick to blame government for the failure of our healthcare system but the truth is that no amount of funds sunk into the system by government will change things if the practitioners don't change their corrupt ways.
The undoing of most of you Nigerian doctors is that you're always quick to claim monopoly of knowledge, even when your lack of knowledge or shear attempt to cover up quack practices by your colleagues is glaring.

Pls post thr prescription and cover the sensitive details like names. Let's see weather you even know what and what Constitutes antibiotics. Seems you are the one mistaking some other group of medications as antibiotics.

Secondly .. I can now actually confirm your IQ and knowledge level. You seem to be a surface thinker. Let me explain to you . If the so called foreign doctors come to Nigeria, over time they too will become complacent and lazy because the system is different. First there are no laws in Nigeria, the judiciary doesn't work. Its the laws that regulate and define the society. That is why when our doctors go abroad they can't misbehave cos the system doesn't tolerate it. There is general systemic failure in Nigeria that is why there is no law and order. That is why people behave the way they do here. So the problem is never the people but the system. And the system is a function of the law and government.

Well, I think I should write a separate thread to fully highlight the points I was alluding to in that post you quoted.

Nothing justifies prescribing 3 to 4 classes of antibiotics without a sensitivity test, without even any laboratory tests at all.

When you decide to visit a nurse , patent medicine or a quack doctor for treatment that's what you get. I'm my more than 10yrs of medical practice I have never seen a licenced medical doctor prescribe 4 antibiotics at once. 3 maybe for general coverage in cases where you have to wait to sensitivity test.
Moreover you can't use a single case or 2 to generalise all Nigeria doctors. Nigeria has some of the best doctors home and abroad take it or leave it.
Lastly I can confidently tell you that antibiotics abuse is majorly caused by self medication, incomplete treatment or dosage or poor data saving system in Nigeria. Your claim of Doctors being responsible for antibiotics abuse is based on delusion and assumptions. And your projections of Nigeria doctor's been responsible for antibiotics abuse in the future in uk is baseless. The systems are designed differently. 1,You can't buy antibiotics over the counter in uk.
2, Prescriptions are vetted by licensed pharmacist at the pharmacy before dispensing.
3. There is good data collection system in place. Meaning if you have had an antibiotics or current on one it will be documented in you electronic patient records so the issue of giving you another one will always be based on clinical judgement.

In conclusion , things don't work the way you have assumed in your head. And try to always comment on what you have good knowledge on.

For allowing the influx of Nigerian doctors and nurses into the UK, the country is bound to start witnessing all manner of quack practices in her healthcare system.

The next thing I fear that may start happening there is drug misuse, especially antibiotics misuse which has become the other of the day in Nigeria thereby creating a burden of antibiotics resistance!

The average Nigerian doctor, with their poor training on drugs, believes in indiscriminate use of drugs. They don't believe in rational use of drugs and this has contributed significantly in the poor life expectancy the country is faced with.

So, any country that allows Nigeria doctors to practice in their country must be wary of them and set up special monitoring mechanism to ensure that they shed off all their Nigerian mentality of 'anything goes'.

Oga you didn't even read the post , you just jump into conclusions like a foolish woman. You deviated from the topic , created your own topic and started commenting. Do you know how the NHS or uk health system functions? You think doctor's just graduate from Nigeria and just go there and start working without exams and trainings?
Do you know there are reasons why antibiotics are prescribed more in the developing countries who's has an high rate of infectious disease compared to developed countries.
Do you know that the antibiotics abuse in Nigeria is majorly due to self medication, incomplete treatment and poor data keeping.
Anyway your post always shows your level of illiteracy and IQ.

Yes the Government, NHS and doctors erred and let their citizens down. And even at that you still can't compare it to my dear country or Africa.

For this scandal... I can comfortably tell you that

1, The whole scandal will be investigated. The whole truth or close to whole will be published for every one to see.

2, Those guilty will be identified, published and will receive punishment appropriate to their degree of involvement.

3. Compensation has already been given , and will continue to be given out to those affected and for those that have DIED their children pr family will receive compensation.

Saying Peter Obi can never be Nigeria president is not out of hatred, Peter Obi don't just have the quality/character of a president.

Imagine someone who made some statements just some days ago oo, within that same week, he has contradicted his own self out of desperation.

When the Judicial favoured him, it was good, but when it didn't favour him, it's now bad and rotten..

The earlier Peter Obi realized he can never be Nigeria president as he doesn't even have any tangible achievements to show for it, the better for him and his supporters.


The problem nowadays is people don't know how to read.. there is a difference between something is not good and something is declining. Has he lied? NO... THE JUDICIARY SYSTEM OF NIGERIA IS DECLINING. Weather you agree or not it doesn't matter its is as clear and night and day even for a blind man. You can't compare what the judiciary was 10years ago to what it is now. 10 years ago , the issue of court stopping a politician from been probe or arrest was a no or rare occurrence but today the reverse is the case.
Obi is 100 percent correct, you don't condemn a factual statement just because you hate the messenger. DEAL WITH THE MESSAGE NOT THE MESSENGER.

Yes, he is right.

(If you want to quote me to abuse me, you will be reported to the moderators. You can be mature about disagreeing with me)

The harsh truth is that funding our universities is a difficult thing. IN 2009, ASUU and government signed an agreement. BY 2013, the money had not been paid, and by 2018, about less than one third of the money promised had been paid...and that's it.

IN 2018, the then VC of ABU, Zaria, gave a speech. IN the speech he stated that his overheads were 600million for the year. Government gave him 120 million and told him to find the rest of the money...like how? That is how he ended up saying ....you want cambridge level, charge cambridge level fees.

You cannot pay fees less than 200000 and expect quality worth 2billion naira. It is not possible. I know that most of us are poor....and so forth, but the thing is, unviersites cost money. Too much money to run, to pay teachers and other staff, to buy equipment. Our universites are in an atrocious state, and paying such low fees, and then pretending we can reach the level of a Harvard or Oxford is a joke. The oil money we have, even if we fight corruption, cannot raise our universites to high level, without us spending over half our budget on the thing.

Yes, our fathers went to university for free...back when there were less than 7 universites with about 4000 students or less. Govt then could manage. Today, the numbers are going up.

God knows I hate the Tinubu loan scheme, and I know it would fail, but what are the alternatives? Taxation, we no gree. Punish corruptuion, we gree...until it is our side (See how people were angry at the US senate for going after GEJ, AND I know how BAT People get annoyed when bullion vans and drug money is mentioned, and then Obi and Pandora and money in the car...and then Atiku own self...lol)...then we no go gree. Pay ASUU their money, we no gree. Diversify the economy, we no gree. Industrialise, we no gree.

Either we find 30 trillion naira every year. or more for education alone, or we just accept that tuition fees is all that is left. Nigeria is a broke nation. The corruption makes it worse. And even if we fought the corruption AS WE SHOULD...it would still not be enough.

My issue with what you wrote is this..

Why is it that when ever something isn't working in Nigeria, the citizens are made to bear the burden ? Why can't you advocate that the political class should cut their salaries and allowances and also channel the money been looted continuously in Nigeria towards this issues. Why must it be the masses to always bear the burden. Don't you people have conscience.

I can take you to some hospitals in Nigeria today that are better than many hospitals in the UK. I have lived there, so I know.

Most of you are VERY simple-minded, with a very deep complex.

You don’t know anything, yet you think you know everything.

Right now there are first class private hospitals in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt who handle elite patients from places like Ivory Coast, Ghana, Togo, Liberia, Guinea, South Sudan, Sierra Leone, DRC, and other places.

They fly in quietly and do CT scans and other stuff not readily available in their countries. They pay in dollars and fly back home quietly.

There are NUMEROUS Nigerian doctors who have RELOCATED from the US and established top medical establishments here with state of the art equipment.

Some of them even have foreign patients they treated when they worked abroad, who insist on still seeing them, even if they’ve moved to Nigeria. They fly in here, get their check-up and fly back out.

My guy you know nothing about the Nigerian health sector. Even our neighbouring African countries have better hospitals than Nigeria.
The hospital with MRI or CT scan imagines working 247 is not up to 5% of the total hospitals.
Have you ever seen a foreignal book flight and visa and say he is coming to Nigeria for medical intervention ... even less complicated procedures like botox or plastic surgery ... never
You just want to argue what you don't know. South Africa hospitals is the closest to developed countries hospitals in Africa and even then its 1 or 2 that leave their countries to come there

Nigerians that go abroad and come back to establish mega hospitals, have you ever gone in there to see their standard of treatment? They still employ incompetent and cheap labour to maximise profit. You will see the abroad trained doctor acting as orthopaedic doctor, gynaecologist, paediatrician and all in his private hospital in Nigeria.
Have you gone to a hospital abroad? Only viginal delivery that a woman want to do .. there will be a paediatrician, paediatric nurse, neonatologist, O and G specialist on ground and active. In Nigeria if you get a doctor on ground you are lucky. If he is even around he will be with other patients.

Just 1 question for you is the Nigerian govt responsible for these hospitals or they are private.
If they are private the health minister has no business boosting about the good state of the health sector. If you Don get the argument or what the health minister said ans means that's your problem. You are dumb

Secondly no American or uk citizen leaves his or country and flies to Nigeria for medical treatment like our rich citizens or politicians do. The foreign people you see in private hospitals are are people currently residing in Nigeria either for business or holiday and they do so cos that the closest and fastest option as at that time. And when it becomes serious they still fly back to their developed countries for expert treatment.

So get that into your myopic and delusional mind. No foreignal flies from his country to Nigeria for medical treatment.

I worked as a specialist Dr in St Nicholas hospital in lagos lwhich is one best hospitals in Nigeria before going abroad and I can comfortably tell you , you are just assuming in your head and basing you conclusions on assumptions.

Have you ever seen or heard that they are bringing someone from USa , uk or Europe to come and have kidney, liver, or whatever transplant in Nigeria. It is always the other way round .

There is reason why Nigeria is a poor and 3 world counties and others aren't.. it because GDP. You can't compare both economies my friend. You can't compare 2 people both on minimum wage in uk and Nigeria. Facts. Let alone professionals.
There is what we call standard of living. You can compare a dr working in uk and the one working in Nigeria.

He has finally built the right foundation.

He just needs to buffer up that defense, and get a top 9.

They can and will challenge for the title next season.

Which title... they are still far off. They should be thinking of qualifying for Europe first.

That $300 to $500 the career saved in a month, is it not savings that will later be expended in that same economy.

If I save in Nigeria, I save it to later spend in Nigeria, so same applies to the savings in the UK to be later spent in the UK.

Stop tying your UK savings to a future Nigerian expenditure.

Seems you have a learning disability. Your argument is that people don't make it in uk. And I just gave you an example of how people are more likely to make it in uk than Nigeria.
Where they finally spend their money doesn't matter , the argument is have they made it or not over a given time compared to Nigeria. Ie carer in uk can save 3000 to 5000 pounds yearly while a minimum wage earner in Nigeria can't save 1/10th of it.
Extrapolate that over 10 to 15yrs and tell me who has made it.

Premier league is very competitive.. How Liverpool couldn't win the league with 92 points 2 seasons ago and still didn't win the Premier league is a record too.

They came 2nd with 97 points in 2019.

God forbid the day I will abandon a well paying Nigerian job just because I want to put on winter jacket in UK while my face is unhappy and my health is terribly under stress.

I do not mind doing it for a job or immigration to the USA where opportunities abound for even the very 1st generation of the immigrant family, but UK is a big NO.

The majority of Nigerians who have been in the UK since the early 1980s, they have not made it till today. Their children have not made it too.

The wise 3rd generation have embraced sport and entertainment, so that the curse of the UK will not happen to the 3rd generation of the family.

If you go to the UK, you are going there to suffer so that maybe your 3rd generation family can finally live wealthy.

So because you have 1 uncle or aunt that didn't make it In uk , every body who went to uk never make it. Even in Somalia , some Nigerians still make let alone uk.
As a carer in uk who earns minimum wage if you work hard and spend wisely you can save 300 to 500 pounds monthly after all your expenses. How many Nigerians on minimum wage can save the equivalent in 1yr in Nigeria.
