Interesting. So many tourist attraction in the U.K. I’m yet to explore, the greatest empire in the world and country with unarguably by far with richest history in the world. I love Great Britain. London hustling and bubbling won’t let a young guy to explore life.
While the UK undoubtedly has a rich history.
It is NOT unarguably by far the country with the richest history not at all.

There is Egypt, Italy, France, Iran, China, Japan, etc with very rich histories that rival the UK.
They colonized Nigeria so it is expected that we may have this point of view.

Their "empire" is probably the most vast in modern times

Doctors who have done GMC registration and have license in UK can practice as a doctor in the UK

They cant just employ anyone in without a license to come treat someone.
Yes
And these doctors meet that criteria hence the visa waiver that was granted

Stop you lies and stop writing down all the stuff you read on blogs

Pls read what is in that letter, it is different from what you are writing here

Visa waiver when they are not diplomats

Gmc registration can only be done in the UK before you can even get a job.

If you are not a British citizen, or a national of a country in the European Economic Area (EEA) or Switzerland, you will need a visa before you travel to the UK. To obtain a visa, you need to meet the requirements of UKVI, which is responsible for managing migration in the UK.(this was written on the NHS site)

https://www.healthcareers.nhs.uk/working-health/overseas-health-professionals/immigration-rules

so stop your misinformation and lies, USMLE is cancelled till further notice.
All you have typed is correct.
However, you fail to realize that so much has changed provisionally since COVID 19 pandemic which is unprecedented in modern times.
Doctors who have license to practice and a job in the UK were granted waivers by UKVI because of this. They are key workers at the forefront.

the article didnt make mention of Plab.

Plab 1 is written in Nigeria, the next exam is in September and you do not do interview to write plab 2

plab 2 is written in the UK

PLAB 2 was cancelled but the restart date is from 13 August 2020

Mr, they collected 500 pound from 54 people that is 27,000 pounds
It wasn't a scam.
There was a break in communication between UKVI, NIS and the presidential task force on the COVID 19 pandemic that prevented them from leaving
Politics › Re: Statement By President Buhari On Nigeria’s Attainment Of Wild-polio-free Status by eaglechild: 11:20am On Jun 22, 2020
Long overdue
The refusal of vaccines in Kano, Zamfara, Kaduna and other parts if northern Nigeria brought about the persistence of wild polio virus in Nigeria, making the country one of the last places on the planet where wild polio still thrived.
This boycott was ignorantly backed by some key northern religious and political leaders unfortunately.

Good thing it has been eliminated at least for now.
No child should suffer polio especially since it can be prevented.

Trying to paint this governor good is futile, he has proved to be substandard.
He has neglected infrastructure in Enugu for over 6 years, and patching potholes with cement is his major legacy.
By the time he hands over, Trans Ekulu and Abakpa will be cut off
Phones › Re: Tecno, Infinix And Itel Are Not Used In China Where They Are Produced by eaglechild: 12:52am On Jun 11, 2020
I don't understand the essence of this thread.
No one puts a gun to anyone's head whilst selling a product to him.

If you want to get an I phone 11 for 700pounds by all means do so and stop whining.

Tecno/Infinix offer value for money, and their products have actually progressively increased in quality.

They are not pretending to be Apple or Samsung and they have put affordable devices on the hands of many Nigerians.

Many Nigerians can at least get their hands on an advanced smart device because of these companies.

If it were only the bigger players, you won't be able to afford a phone.

So people should stop talking trash.

A scan is good but I suggest you check all your fuses first. The AC guy must have caused an electrical short which he will NEVER admit. I suspect it happened while he was testing the compressor clutch with their stupid 17th century method.

Just locate the fuse box and check all the fuses and hope the problem is there. Pay attention to those controlling the devices that are not working and also the brake lights (I assume your brake lights too are not working when you press the brake pedal, that's probably why the gear stick doesn't leave park).
True
Had a similar experience on a Sienna some time back
Exactly what you described and it was just a compressor clutch coil change
Stepped out to use the ATM as they were coupling the parts came back and they had fried the ECU and 3 sensors, with their funny testing.
Of all the cables to use as earth he had to go and open the triple protected one to the ECU

African Hobby...
This specie of falcon is scattered across Africa but Its close relative, the Taita Falcon is endemic to the southern part of Africa.
You are spot on.
More likely an African hobby(a falcon specie)
I hope it is not a Taita falcon because those are rare and a vulnerable specie.

SIR0:
To the Snakes' Advocates,
I pray you would openly condemn the killing of snakes before people who have lost close relatives to snakes' bites, then you go know how hot slaps take dey land on cheeks cool
Few days ago, a guy was mourning his brother that he lost to snake's bite & I was hoping some of you would show up to defend the snake but you never did. You think snakes are friendly in all regions? Allow this kind snake to enter your farm (either poultry or livestock) first.
Pythons are relatively harmless to humans
They also have a critical role to play in keeping rodent population in check.
Which in turn keeps a lot of diseases spread by rodents in check, example Lassa fever.
The Lassa fever belt in the southeast for instance in linked to the areas that consume reptiles and rodents.
Snake venoms have given us an array of medicines, including analgesics, and anticancer prospects.
If we keep our environment tidy and respect their habitat we should be fine.

KINGreignn:
They're not in same class and do not serve same market audience.

The Camry is targeted as a mid class family sedan or mid sized fleet sedan.

While the 508 is targeted as a full sized executive sedan or large family sedan. It's the premium flagship product for Peugeot.

It ranks with Mercedes Benz, Lexus LS500, A8, etc
Not really, A8 and LS500 are clearly in the luxury large executive sedans that are larger and cost way more, the 508 is more of an inbetweener.
Think more of A4/5, 4 series, insignias, stinger, mondeos, top spec Avalons and maximas.

Stop hating and state the obvious.

Where has he failed? The fact that you don't like him doesn't mean that he is under performing.

Is he not building rural and urban roads? Is he not paying salaries? In fact, he happens to be the only Governor who has been paying 13 months salary for the past five years.

Is he not building infrastructures?

Stop hating and hustle more.
Please list the infrastructure he has put in ground since the past 6 years.
I'm waiting.

As you should have noticed.
Most if your posts on the governor's supposed achievements are met with rebuff and criticism which clearly shows that he is doing a poor job and should be held accountable.
I am convinced you know this cause you don't even bother to defend him.

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.

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.

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
Health › Re: How Face Masks Are Produced In Aba. Meet The Makers (Video) by eaglechild: 10:36pm On Apr 18, 2020
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.

Health › Re: Enugu Designates State Medical Diagnostic Centre As Additional Isolation Centre by eaglechild: 12:07pm On Apr 02, 2020
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.

Foreign Affairs › Re: Prince Charles Recovers From Coronavirus And Is Out Of Self-isolation by eaglechild: 6:15am On Mar 31, 2020
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.
