One cannot just rank hospitals without any definable basis.

There are so many hospitals that offer very specialized treatment.

I almost cried when I saw potholes developing all over ziks avenue.
Imagine pot holes developing on major roads inside Coal city of all places..damn
Very soon major structural failure will start occuring on all major roads and Enugu will become one of these cities where you'll be driving inside mud inside the city!!
Look at the Enugu onitsh highway Abakpa juction- new market section.
That is ugwanyi's plan for all roads in Enugu.
While he paves 2km strectches in villages and snaps pictures.

Very sad indeed
A road that runs right through the city I mean the Enugu-Onitsha road /Abakpa junction axis.
I guess he is telling himself it is a federal road.
A road his predecessor paved and put streetlights on has been left abandoned and unmotorable.
Picture if Awka had left the section of that road passing through abandoned, or even Onitsha citing federal road as excuse.
I don't see the rationale in abandoning your state capital.

slimthugchimee2:
You are still talking about ziks avenue, agbani road is already collapsing, potholes that can swallow cars are slowing popping up there, and what is irritating me more is the useless man is building pedestrian flyover in a place like ogbete market

What does it take to mend a pothole?
Even if he lacks the will to construct a new road, what of mending a pothole.
I find it incomprehensible and utterly despicable that a government cannot even mend a pothole on a major road in her state capital.
There is no excuse whatsoever, especially as these roads were left to rot right before your eyes.

I won't lie the snake is beautiful

Do I know anyone who has died of COVID-19?
Unfortunately yes, lost a co worker within 6 days after he became ill. It made the reality of the situation very lucid.
Do I know anyone who has tested positive?
I know several. At a point a third of our hospital staff were in isolation.

Over 18,000 people (probably underreported) have died in the UK from COVID-19.

Is COVID-19 in Nigeria?
Trust me it is and it is grossly underreported.

Don't play with your life.
Stay safe

Matrimonous:
You didn't get my point at all.
My point is that we are doing copy copy in following the strategies adopted by countries where covid-19 is far more virulent. Strategies that as a poor nation we have no capacity for.
I went on to state that rather than employ copy copy strategies we should rather have fashioned our own way of combating it. A strategy we could better handle, one we have the capacity for.

Modern medicine is evidence based, and guided by scientific research.
The evidence before us is simple, this is a new virus that has caused significant devastation.
The countries that instituted strict lockdown, travel restrictions wide spread testing and use of face masks early, example New Zealand, The Czech republic, Taiwan, South Korea etc, saw a dramatic reduction in new cases and were able to reduce transmission to a barest minimum.
On the contrary the countries who did otherwise or instituted late lockdown like USA, etc are dancing a different tune.

Neoteny7:
Tennis court?

Really?

Not ping pong?

Op, we need to talk about what a tennis court looks like

Exactly
Was expecting to see a field with a net across it instead I saw a table.

YorubaKinging:
You've nothing be sorry for


Let them continue to bark


And let them panic cos of coronaVirus that is bullshits

If only you are at the front line and have witnessed the devastation then you will not type this rubbish

I am a critic of this governor but for this I will commend him.
He did good

StDonE:
This governor is the most clueless governor in Nigeria. The white building is the multi billion naira untra Medical Diagnostic and Research Centre built by Sullivan Chime administration but that fool refused to equip it. Had he equipped it, Enugu State would have been one of the testing centres in Nigeria. The Nsukka isolation centres is a renovated office block at the formal ESUTH Medical school Nsukka. ESUTH medical school was formally at Nsukka campus before Chimaroke Nnamani administration moved it to Park Lane general hospital after upgrading the hospital. I leave in Enugu and I am 100% sure of what I am saying.

Thank you very much.
That big structure built by Sullivan, has been lying abandoned for years throughout his two tenures despite needing just a little boost to get it equipped. In fact if I can recall there was a public bid to get it equipped but like all his phantom media hype it fizzled away.
It should have been a very modern diagnostic center providing employment to hundreds.
All of a sudden he remembers it and uses it to get media attention yet again.

babyfaceafrica:
Please look this up... Are there different rules in different countries?

https://www.health.gov.au/news/health-alerts/novel-coronavirus-2019-ncov-health-alert/how-to-protect-yourself-and-others-from-coronavirus-covid-19/self-isolation-self-quarantine-for-coronavirus-covid-19

Perhaps
I quoted UK NHS where prince Charles lives
https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/covid-19-stay-at-home-guidance/stay-at-home-guidance-for-households-with-possible-coronavirus-covid-19-infection#what-you-can-do-to-help-yourself-get-better

There instructions are more explicit and take more scenarios into consideration. You can read it.

babyfaceafrica:
There is something they are not saying.. I thought they said 14 days for self isolation.. Why his prince Charles 7 days?(a 71 year old for that matter) .. Does he have two heads?.. Something is not right

If one is already showing symptoms, like prince Charles was, then the period to isolate is 7 days (after this time it is presumed you are no longer infectious), if one is asymptomatic but has come in contact with a sick person, the period of isolation is 14 days. After 14 days it is unlikely that you have contracted the disease if asymptomatic.
This is because the period of incubation is about a maximum of 14 days.
What it means is that someone who is already showing symptoms like prince Charles was, contracted the disease some days (assumed 7) earlier and will need to isolate for a shorter period to become non infectious.

I hope this helps.

Very transparent society

The British PM just announced that there should be no more public gatherings of greater than 2 people.
Has also asked that all non essential shops eg clothing, electronics etc be shut down.
The train services have gone haywire with multiple cancelations making commuting a nightmare for those of us in essential services, but this is understandable as most people are staying at home.
London Euston was very scanty.
Ridiculously long queues at malls but priority is given to health workers.
I pray this passes quickly.

gloriaunobi:
But I prefer Union than Zenith

I have accounts with both banks and i actually prefer union bank services to zenith.

Oblongata:
You are very right...

My late mumsy’s money is still there, I did a transfer with her phone (just 10k o)and the next thing one ediot called her phone asking to speak to her. That account was untouched for just 6 months but it seems this people investigate if their customer is dead so that they can sit on their money.

My mumsy’s account was blocked. Awon ole jaku jaku.
But ironically she had her bulk of money in zenith
And I transferred all her money with atm, zenith no disturb me o

Union of thieves

Have you ever thought of it the other way round.
What if it was actually someone trying to fraudulently transfer funds
After all the account has been quiet

GuyMan50:
That's an alligator, not a crocodile.

Alligators are not native to Africa.

For medical students, becoming good doctors lies on there ability to merge the general medical knowledge(basic medical and clinical sciences) and CLINICAL SKILLS thought them in the wards, clinics, theaters, ER etc in patient management.

PhD sounds good on paper but is in reality not readily applicable to core clinical skills training of different medical sub specialities.

Residency training is a combination of supervised CLINICAL SKILL ACQUISITION and individualized CLINICAL RESEARCH carried out over a minimum given time period usually 4 to 10 years in the relevant sub speciality.
It involves at least one full thesis and depending on the speciality and college 10 to 20 evidence based research inspiring case reports.
The training is split in two parts with a full clinical/lab research thesis written in one or both parts.

It is much more advanced than a PhD offered in any Nigerian university.

I noticed that
Many people are finding it difficult to comprehend the location of the building.
Ugwuanyi has lost some weight which is good for his health but he still has that "perpetually lost" facial expression.

I wonder how much was spent on this.
Meanwhile the ICCentre and hotel presidential are still lying in neglect despite all the noise of proposed renovation

ArinzeAnthony03:
Ride on my able Governor... You are doing wonder in all the local government in Enugu but hate wouldn't allow your haters see it. You are the best...Enugu is one, don't leave a particular place that need to be developed because of pressure for you to come and make Nsukka look like America, though, I know you are doing wonder in Nsukka especially in raod construction, keep it up...

To people that are here, an Nsukka man is never a greedy man,

Note, unlike the past Enugu State Governor, Governor Ugwuanyi is the only Governor to have taken development to all the area in Enugu here.

By 2023, people of Enugu will beg an Nsukka man to come back and be a governor. So let's me save it here for now.

Note: I am from Nsukka, but what is good is Worth doing more than well.

I feel sorry for you.

Committees set up to share loot to cronies.
Meanwhile infrastructure is zero.

Ugwuanyi is a colossal failure
The secretariat in the capital is uncompleted and has been left abandoned for 5 years now, yet he goes to Nsukka to start a new one.

What is really wrong with this man?

Rgade:
I admit there's no opposition,but moving beyond elections ,let the electorates become the opposition.
Do you think this administration is receiving enough pressure and criticism from the masses?
The state doesn't have to make do with anything PDP gives her, the masses can demand for what they want to be done for their state.
But no one is talking.

This is true.
The masses hold the real power to demand for better leadership but they keep silent and expect some magic to happen.
The vocal ones are bought over with a few crumbs falling from the table.
A thread that was bombarded with new projects and accelerated to over 500 pages hardly ever gets any substantial update because there is simply nothing to update.

How much is 2006 Nissan pathfinder ecu

biafrandream:
5 years in office, the governor of Nsukka has not construct 1 kilometer 'standard road' outside Nsukka zone. Meanwhile, over 70% IGR comes from the abandoned Enugu metropolis. A governor who receives billions of naira monthly from the federal government yet nothing to show for it. He is siphoning our money to develop Abuja where he belongs. We are keeping records because he will leave office one day.

It is a pathetic situation
Hope he gets prosecuted.
The lack of new development in this thread is just a mirror of the reality on ground.

sonature1:
A Nairaland-based Enugu governor PR says that he focused on rural development in his first term.

So, this second term, he will concentrate on the urban centers. Enugu, in my opinion, doesn't have deplorable infrastructure. The governor just needs to intervene in critical places like Emene and Abakpa. For instance, Abakpa junction and Holy Ghost roundabout need flyovers. Those places experience chaotic traffic at Christmas.

I have not visited Enugu since last Christmas, but I think the rural areas deserve more government intervention. Some of them have terribly bad roads and without electricity. If they are neglected, it will lead to massive rural-to-urban migration, thus ramping up rents in the city.

He didn't do anything in the rural area.
Don't be deceived.

chiol:
Yes he did more work in Enugu north, Enugu south, Enugu east and Udi LGAs with huge debt. The remaining 14 LGAs were abandoned yet they are paying for the loans used for the projects in the four LGAs.

Nsukka zone (7 LGAs) did not benefit apart from the road between Enugu east and Nsukka LGAs. Please list the projects executed in Igbo - Eze north, Igbo - Eze south, Udenu, Igbo - Etiti, Uzo - Uwani, Isi - Uzo and Nsukka LGAs.

Note that each of these LGAs in Nsukka zone is bigger or equal to each of the LGAs like Udi, Ezeagu, Awgu, Aninri, Enugu north, south and east both in land mass and population. Whenever something is done in Nsukka LGA, people from other zones will think that the project is for the whole Nsukka zone. The zone is made up of 7 LGAs.

What has this got to do with the gross incompetence of the present government.
As a matter of fact the previous government did more work for Nsukka zone by connecting the capital city to Nsukka and bypassing the death trap that was the federal road.
If you read well through this article you can see that the bulk of the contracts are flimsy
The rest will remain on paper just like the rest of his flag offs

eg The diagnostic centre that was allegedly equipped (largely built by Chime) is being threatened by weeds
The international conference centre - he put street lights and bamboo around it and it will remain like that till his tenure ends
The road rehabilitation project in town is total sham with poorly mixed cement plastered here and there while the rest have been left cut open.
Absolutely nothing of note in the rural area.

In essence since 5 years he has built Opi Nsukka and Miliken hill
Nothing else no incentive to attract businesses, nothing.

The sad thing is he will start gunning for senate after this and he will get support from sycophants.
Which will be the beginning of the end for Enugu state as it will end up like Abia

Wrong diagnosis has become a major and lingering crisis afflicting Nigeria’s medical sector. No wonder, those who could afford it, including the nation’s president and the political leaders, whenever they fall ill, dust their passports and head to Europe, America, Middle East and Asia to seek help.

Absolute junk reportage.
Trying to justify politicians traveling outside to seek medical care.
Do you know what is required to make a diagnosis?

How many government hospitals have a functional up to date CT scan? I mean 64 or 128 slices
How many functional MRI scanners 1.5T
How many fluoroscopy machines
How many nuclear imaging centers
How many can do frozen slices
How many auroanalizers?
How many theatre c arms?

You take off and run to a country with all the facilities and think diagnosis is by magic?

Very observant of you.
I was just about to give that reference, that it was used to convey royals to the Japanese emperor's coronation.

Sensible people preserving their wildlife

If it is here they will arrest the taxi driver.
