Remember when i rode in an A4, i just couldn't stop admiring the interior which was so well done.
The drive rivals that of a 3 series.
I don't think the new A3 will disappoint.

Didn't know Tinubu had opened some schools.
Apparently he will get to be principal.

There is a difference between a prison and police holding cell.
The picture is that of a holding cell.
In any case it is inhumane.

Lagusta: thanks for clearing the air jare, God bless u!!!

ignorance is really a disease in this country!!!! so the doctors themselves could not diagnose anencephaly!!! Na Wa oooooooo

If you had bothered to read the post well, u would have noticed that the 'nurse' probably 'nurse Eliza' narrated the incidence.
The doctor was not mentioned to have been perplexed by the finding.

If proper antenatal care was given to the mother, the diagnosis would have been made in utero by routine obstetric ultrasound scan.

Is it my dirty mind or does the cakes left hand seem to be btw its snatch while the right hand is twisting her hair in pleasure?

Hollandia yoghurt has the worst tune any ad can ever have.U know the one with the fine plastic babe licking her upper lip, why would one need to be seduced into drinking yoghurt.
I wonder who produces ads for the house of chi?

I despise that sterling bank ad where that guy gives a very watery speech about having one customer and getting an undeserved standing ovation from a fake audience.
Where in the world did they get the crappy looking team?
The most annoying part is where that lady muttered something supposedly in Japanese, and the eerie look in her eyes during the ovation. She just looks like a manga cartoon character gone wrong.

"Donate"?
Wrong word.
He just gave back some of his stolen loot.

CyberG: Those picture are good indeed! Well, the people who will never see anything good in the SW are known haters anyway! Ibadan and the SW generally was a city-state as far back as before the 1800s with real houses! I have read about references to the Yorubas (Anago, Lucum, etc) in history books that go back 10,000 years and I don't even know as much history as some people here, whom I won't even mention their names! The haters (ibos really) on the other hand were "discovered" in the 1900s! I have read about Yoruba wars that go almost into the mediaeval times, that is as far back as the 1400s! So it is funny in an annoying way when ibos who were still living in the forests and tying palm fronds around their waists in the 1900s, spew thrash from their gobs.

Please strike off two zeroes.

Laalamed: there is level playing field for all. the only problem is many are not satified with their position in life. complaints never solve problems. most people have low self-esteem that is why they feel they are not appreciated. there would always be inter and intraprofessional harmony in nigeria not only in health but in all fields of life. why? lord lugard wrote in his book dual mandate page 78 about nigerias and africans.
" in character and temperament, the typical African
of this race-type is a happy, thriftless,
excitable person, lacking in self-
control, discipline, and foresight.
Naturally courageous, and naturally
courteous and polite, full of personal
vanity, with little sense of veracity,
fond of music and loving weapons as
an oriental loves jewellery. His
thoughts are concentrated on the
events and feelings of the moment,
and he suffers little from the
apprehension for the future or grief
for the past. His mind is far nearer to
the animal world than that of the
European or Asiatic, and exhibits
something of the animals' placidity
and want of desire to rise beyond the
state he has reached.
"Through the ages, the African
appears to have evolved no organised
religious creed, and though some
tribes appear to believe in a deity, the
religious sense seldom rises above
pantheistic animalism and seems
more often to take the form of a
vague dread of the supernatural. He
lacks the power of organisation, and
is conspicuously deficient in the
management and control alike of men
or business. He loves the display of
power, but fails to realize its
responsibility - he will work hard with
a less incentive than most races. He
has the courage of the fighting
animal, an instinct rather than a
moral virtue. In brief, the virtues and
defects of his race -type are those of
attractive children, whose confidence
when it is won is given ungrudgingly
as to an older and wiser superior and
without envy. Perhaps, the two traits
which have impressed me as those
most characteristic of the African
native are his lack of apprehension
and his lack of ability to visualize the
future"

The bolded is the major problem we face with all the allied health workers.
You clearly provided a link that shows the need for funding of doctors' training.
I clearly tried to point out the peculiarities of residency training.
However prejudice because of the bolded has blinded any reasoning.

omonnakoda: Shut up. Get a job

Finally, you've run out of lies and then resorted to rudeness.
I rest my case.

RED CARD!!!!
PIQUE

THANK GOD!!
CHEAT

FRED GOAL!!

Ola Johnson: Have you found out if those rusted roofs have leakages? Don't bother yourself, they don't. The nature of the SW makes it possible for corrugated iron roofing sheets to be in use for up to 30 years without leakages. This is unlike the SS and parts of the SE with acidic rain. Why should a Yoruba man in Ibadan change his roofs when there are no leakages? Ask somebody that is learned to tell you the meaning of "necessity is the mother of invention."

The thatch roofs were not leaking either.
To be honest thatch roofs are a greener technology, i wonder why we did away with them, they are even more historic.

GOAL!

LUIZ
Best save ever!!

Rossikk: Perhaps. But they also show a distinct lack of aesthetic sense among the govt and people.

It really wouldn't hurt to re-roof those houses using modern materials as opposed to corrugated iron, in some sort of state-led public program.

A dash of paint on the houses wouldn't go amiss either.

This is what baffles me.
How is rusted iron historic?
Poverty is now historic.
Poverty is a scourge that should be expunged from our vicinity.

on a good day:
you are the one misinforming the public, i said in my earlier post that a doctor has a lil knowledge in pharmacology and i expect u to know that it is with respect to a pharmacist, and you came with assertions explaining how knowleadgable a doctor is and all that. Now if a doctor does residency for 6 yrs and 12 monts in sch,which total of 7yrs and a pharmacist is allowed to do 4yrs in sch and 6 yrs residency which is 10yra,pls who,in ur opinion would provide better care to the patient with respect to drugs.
2ndly you said a doctor cannot be better than a pharmacist in being pharmacist,meaning,if i get u,that they have job descriptions anywhere they may cross each other,so why are they fighting tooth and nail to get pharmacists out of the hospital,finally ether they(doctors) like it or not,pharmacist are drug experts hohaa!!!!

I am not fighting anyone.
I just don't want you feeding the public wrong information.
I am here to set the records straight.
Does it not make sense to know the pharmacokinetics, pharmocodynamics including side effects contraindications etc of the drug one is prescribing.
Pls refer to the link i gave.
I don't know why u are trying so hard to belittle doctors.

omonnakoda: A pharmacist is NOT an expert in pharmacology.They are NOT pharmacologists. I don't think you understand what a pharmacist does

Pls refer to my previous post and the link.

on a good day:
you have just displayed how ignoramous and egocentric you can be,so for the mere. fact that you did 6months or so pharmacology makes you better than a pharmacist that did it for over four years,your shallow reasoning does not you allow reason that mere laboratort posting does not make equal to the scientist, you need to understand that you field is diagnosis,stick to it and stop sending our loved ones and friends who come to the hospital as patients to early grave with your shallow knowledge of other professions and your "i know it all" attitude bcecause you do not know it all

There you go again with sentimental misinformation and misquoting.
Pharmacology as a medical student runs for a minimum period of twelve months.
Residency as a doctor in clinical pharmacology / Therapeutics runs for 4 to 6 years.
Please i never said doctors are better than pharmacists at being pharmacists cause that is just ridiculous.

omonnakoda: They are not workers they are apprentices. They cannot treat patients in their own name or independently but ONLY UNDER SUPERVISION. What is a permanent practising licence. Young man please be quiet and stop talking rubbish.
If we accept that they are training then the issue of strike should not come up.Why do they strike more than the consultants who are the REAL EMPLOYEES

A document that enables you practice as a professional in a field e.g medicine pharmacy etc independently.
In other words a doctor can decide to open a hospital and employ nurses, pharmacists, lab technicians etc.

omonnakoda: What does any of that have to do with Pharmacy

Did you miss out clinical pharmacology and therapeutics?
pharmacy, the science and art concerned with the preparation and standardization of drugs.
Pharmacists are responsible for the preparation of the dosage forms of drugs, such as tablets, capsules, and sterile solutions for injection. They compound physicians’, dentists’, and veterinarians’ prescriptions for drugs. The science that embraces knowledge of drugs with special reference to the mechanism of their action in the treatment of disease is pharmacology.
http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/455192/pharmacy#toc35617
In other words they both deal with drugs while one formulates it the other places more emphasis on its effects or interactions in humans.

omonnakoda: Guy calm down and be civil. I will not answer questions about what I have not said so stop conjuring up stories.
What lies ? The issue here is not what residents do or do not do.
Residents do not have any patients in their own name but treat their bosses patients under his supervision and he is responsible for what they do.
What kind of contract do they have ? Is it a contract for service or for training? Is it a pensionable appointment.They are appointed for X number of years whether they pass therir exams or not and then they quit. It is an APPRENTICESHIP period!! Distinguish a resident from even a Hospital grade or a staff grade doctor whose contract is PERMANENT and pensionable or even the Hospital porter the same permanent contract till retirement.

Residents are trainees so I don't know what you are trying to say. Their contract is just like that of a House Officer,though longer, a training post all the same

Please do not modify my posts when you quote me.
That is cheap.
Half truths are lies. You said resident doctors are not workers, i corrected you on that.
If you refer to my previous post remember i said resident doctors have a limited time to complete their training after which they are expected to leave or continue if offered appointment.
This is unlike ANY OTHER medical profession employed in the hospital with a permanent practicing license.
That is why they agitate for better funding and equipment for their training which may span from 4 to 8 years depending on the specialty.

on a good day:
the problem affecting my family or urs should not be our pry concern. our main concern should be how to make sure everybody does thier job and can be held responsible should anything go wrong. A doctor is an expert in diagnosis,with lil knowledge in pharmacy,nursing,lab and so on,a pharmacist is concerned with anything drug and is an expert in that area,with lil knowledge in diagnosis,nursing etc,s
the lab is also an expert,so is the nurse, then how can doctor be doing his main work,and at this time claim the one of lab scientist and nurses, and pharmacist,while they are there as expert, the
lil knowledge one profession has about the other profession does not make better than them,buh was only ment as an alternative should d concern professioj not be available,so my doctor friends needs to learn this,it is very simple.Every profession must be allowed to exist without bullying and threats from other professions

Don't spread false information.
The third MB exam is Pharmacology and Pathology which includes laboratory postings in all the essential laboratory medicine.
There is also a residency programme in Medical microbiology, Chemical Pathology, Histopathology, Haematology which are the core of Laboratory Medicine.
There is also residency in Therapeutics and clinical pharmacology.
I don't understand what you gain by misinforming the public.

omonnakoda: In service training is normal thing for all workers? What a ridiculous statement!! what is residency Please tell us
Residency is a training programme from A-Z,essentially an apprenticeship NOT a job. It is a training post on a FIXED TERM contract whose objective is to achieve a further qualification. Those residents at Igbobi will no get that experience anywhere else.This is done at great expense to the employer already incomparable to anyone else in government but the doctors are asking for more. There is no way one can compare training received in a training position to training given to workers doing their job. There is no comparison. Imagine an accounting trainee asking his boss to pay for ICAN for him is it not "vunny"??

The residents are JUST LIKE STUDENTS doing a degree THEY ARE NOT workers and only a tiny number of residents end up working for government.As things are government is already paying for most of their training
If government has money to equip hospitals for complex cases fine.But dealing with malaria and typhoid are a greater prioririty when resources are scarce as is the case in Nigeria.
NNPC workers are NOT government employees. Doctors earn more than other government employees including soldiers and judges

Why do you come to a public forum to disseminate lies.
Resident doctors do the bulk of the work in any teaching hospital worldwide.
Why then does a hospital get grounded when they go on strike if they are just spectators.
A senior registrar can run a unit in the absence of the consultant.
Do you wish for a matron to earn higher than a consultant neurosurgeon?
I really don't get your frustration here.

IYA NGBALI: what do you mean by low quality crowd?is your entire generation better than them?empty veSsel makes the loudest noise,go get a life,you are not in anyway beter than any of those people,stop hating.

Iyaa relax now.
Na so e pain u reach, person no fit play again.

One_Naira: i didn't want to comment on this thread but na insult bu dis one. mschewww see this one comparing Asaba to Ibadan. Wetin person no go see on this forum? na which kain insult wey person no go see? Not only are una insulting enugu with daring to compare am to Ibadan of all places, now this one wan drag Asaba into the comparison. na,insult. Ibadan people know your level. know your level ooo. chei, Asaba we don suffer. Ibadan of all places, dirty, disgustin, city wey look like village ibadan, having mouth to compare to ..... eeh insult, insult. we no blame you. we blame shoprite for giving una malls wey una pack am full like una no see mall before. I no blame. tcch tcch the audacity

Lol!

Gbawe: Indeed. This model is very important as a way of delivering localised healthcare that is adequate. I think LGA administrators must especially key into the need to create awareness about these centres.

Just hope he doesn't wake up one morning from Tinubu's phone call and sack all doctors.
Good development though.
I also need commendation for brushing my teeth and taking my bath this morning.

CyberG: Why are you people so STOOPID for goodness sake? First and foremost, I can tell you VERY CONFIDENTLY that EVERY Yoruba South Westerner is PROUD of their heritage, history and every aspect of their culture, race, etc. You being an ibo man got no clue at all about what you are pretending to speak about. Now, your second point is even far beyond STOOPID when you assert that a SW state is wasting time over Lagos! Are you so small and hare-brained that you don't know that states are created for administrative and government purposes? If the entire land mass of the SW were divided into 100 states for administrative purposes, EVERY last square cm will be defended to the death until ALL greedy soldiers (MOSTLY IBOS) are completely destroyed! Since you are too dense, I will give you and your lot some education:

During the ill-conceived Biafra War, Ojukwu had his sights on Lagos, a bonafide and 100% Yoruba land and heritage! He claimed to be fighting the northerners but a land grab charted the course of his army to Sokoto (the seat of the Caliphate) to pass through Lagos. What happened? At the borders of Ore, LOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNGGGGG before he got anywhere near to Lagos, his ARMY was brutally crushed! Credit to the Nigerian Army from every other part of Nigeria but in that Army were soldiers from every Yoruba state, not counting Lagos and they defended it from the front until the last man of the aggressors were utterly destroyed! General of the Nigerian Army Benjamin Adekunle, Commander, 3 Marine Commando is from Ogbomosho, did you read the legends of the conquest of the biafran and ibo armies? How about General of the Nigerian Army, Olusegun Obasanjo from Owu in Ogun State, what did he do? He made sure that he paraded the left overs of the biafran rebellion as surrendered soldiers right before the world. Did he have to be from Lagos?

Oh, how about Premier of the Westerm Region, Aare Ona Kakanfo (The War General), Chief Obafemi Awolowo, from Ikenne in Ogun State? Do you know the stuff of legend Chief Awolowo orchestrated virtually plotting the strategies in concert with other military commanders so much so that ibos are still mad well over 40 years and possibly the next 4,000 years for the large scale defeat?? The Aare Ona Kakanfo is a title that goes back well over 700 years, to indicate for how long the Yorubas have been tactical and superior war machines. There are millions of people I possibly could never know who will defend every square cm of the Yoruba lands of their ancestors to the death until every invader is destroyed! By the same token, just as marauders were trying to enter through Ore, thousands of soldiers who are Lagosians were in the ranks of the armies who utterly smote biafra at Ore! The point is use your sense before you open your mouth to spew putrid nonsense!

Again to correct you, there is nothing of note in Enugu! I have been there myself! I lived in Iboland at a time. I am sure Ibadan are proud of those brown roofs which were already covering those houses before your grandfathers were found in iboland. This is the truth, and I am not being tribalistic but you leave me no choice than to tell you the naked truth if you can't figure it out. At the time they were building those houses, ibos lived in the naked forests, wearing no clothes or leaves tied around their waist to cover their private parts only. Up till today, them men still tie a wrapper around their waists like women. There is no question, every Yoruba in any part of South West Nigeria will more than happily be comforted that it doesn't matter whether he is 'officially' from Lagos or Ekiti, even when he is not there, his brothers as far as Ilorin or at the borders of Ondo State will defend their lands to the last man! This is something your people (ibos) have NEVER done since God created the earth! Think about it.

What has all this got to do with the low quality crowd at suprait?
