No mind the guy

Polchiz:
Thank you. I only implied that the reason for my silence is because I don't have much to say.

Olakanye was also alleged to have used his manhood to push the liquid substance into the deceased genital.

The Man Who was Wrongfully Convicted for Fatally Poisoning His 7 Children.





James Richardson is healing, but it's a long, long process.


The 77-year-old Florida man recently returned to his hometown of Arcadia, where in 1967 he was wrongfully convicted and imprisoned for the poisoning deaths of his seven children.


He spent 21 years locked up for the heinous crime, his children died from lunches laced with pesticide after being framed by authorities and alleged by prosecutors to have killed his young for insurance money.



Years later, the woman who had been babysitting Richardson's children while he and his wife were away working confessed to the crime, so Richardson was freed from prison.

This might be the last time I will post on this thread. Some are saying those called are on merit, I laugh. Some blame those that wrote on the first day and distributed questions. I wrote on the fourth day been Thursday and I will say categorically that I benefitted from the hints shared here.

I have the said GMAT 2012 edition, a copy I bought years back while preparing for NNPC 2014 exams. I shared pictures of such to over 20candidates via WhatsApp yet only one of them was called for interview, when they all testified they did well in the test.

My test was 3english section and two maths section, which I was very familiar with the questions and answers for the English section. I am very good in maths and as such, DAT section was a bonus. After d test, I went back to d GMAT and calculated my expected score to be 80%+.... Yet my portal is closed. And someone says its on merit I weep for Nigeria.

A country were the elites hustle the juicy jobs for their kids and MSc holders weep for not getting the poverty suppression program (Npower) . NNPC is planning for recruitment first quarter of next year, and the slots are already been shared. Take it or leave it. Thank God I have AUST Abuja to keep me busy, while I figure out how to leave this country for good. All these are reasons Nigerians in diaspora will never come back...

Those called for the interview, if u know u don't have any top notch. Pray very well... That's my advice for all.

I wish all Nigerians success in our various career pursuit, and pray we all take that decision to speak out always, and let our voice count. Change begins with You and I.

Cheers

datjukunboi:
nice post, I was initially convinced with your point until this thought popped up. is borrowing cheaper than printing in the short term or long term? seeing that a large percentage of our national budget goes in merely servicing our debts from money borrowed taking donkey years to pay up such loans and invariably costing five times the initial borrowed amount.

ELff:
The young man raised a thought, although it may appear leftist, but it is worthy of consideration. Let us look at it again..... For those claiming borrowed money does not equal inflation but printed money would, how would you explain the same to a toddler if in the end, the economy is getting a boost of equivalent amount of money.....mind you before you rush to answer, in both instance, there are no exchange of goods.

For those saying he doesn't understand elementary economics, haven't it occurred to you that you may be repeating the same thought train that has been ingrained in you, leaving you without the option to think through the challenge in another way?

You see my friends, as much I understand the concept of money both the scientific and sentimental ideas of it, there are also other ways to see through things. The old ways might just have been wrong for so long.

Let us ponder! You never know what we might come up with.

johndwayy:
But bros.. I don't think the op is talking about printing the money and sharing it to everyone's account. I think what he's saying is, why not print the money and use it for industrialization and infrastructural development that will in turn boost the economy.?

malton:
Because printing such a huge naira amount would result in inflation.

seunmsg:
You want to print another country's currency?

That's where antiphospholipid antibodies come to play..... It won't hurt if u just read it up and do an update about rhesus isoimmunization and miscarriages.

U will be surprised, i used to think it was a cause of miscarriage until i was proven wrong...... There is no harm in learning new things..... That's what medicine is all about

warmachine:
I am rhesus negative and got it from my mom....its not always inherited from the dad biko...op take note

daybam01:
Bro, i tried reaching u personally to make a contribution towards ur post but couldn't. The fact is rhesus isoimmunization doesn't cause miscarriages, u can read about causes of miscarriages and it isn't one.... I don't mean any disrespect but it's the fact

Albedo27:
What if they are both Rh+?

ChelseaDr:
It's not yet uhuru, don't relax yet, the indirect coombs test will have to be repeated monthly because there is still chance of her getting sensitized. There may be need for rhogam at 28 weeks and after birth, so get ready because the drug is expensive.
Cheers!!

ChelseaDr:
I think we should get this fact right... Rhogam has no role or benefit in a woman who has been sensitized already.

Rhogam is an antibody given to the rhesus negative woman during pregnancy or after birth or outside pregnancy after being transfused with rhesus positive blood (rarely anyway) in order to mop up the rhesus factor circulating within the woman's blood before they are being recognized as foreign and antibodies produced against them.

If a woman is sensitized, then it means her body has already formed antibodies waiting for the incoming rhesus positive baby to attack, hence rhogam (which is an antibody) cannot fight the already formed antibody because they are similar and cannot antagonize each other. Rhogam only attacks antigens (rhesus factors).

Therefore if she is sensitized, then she does not need rhogam.
Cheers!!

MademoiselleMiel:
The amount of knowledge I've gained on this thread is unauantifiable.


Please I'd have a few questions to ask the doctors in the house;

I'm O- while my husband is O+. I lost my first pregnancy with him under some not too palatable circumstance. Now, I'm carrying another baby which is around 30 weeks old. My questions are;

1- How do I ascertain if the antibody has also been secreted in me as a result of my first pregnancy loss?

2- Let's say it has been secreted, what do I do to be sure that this baby I'm carrying wouldn't be hurt. Although she's very fine at the moment. Scan has revealed that it's gonna be a girl and that she's in a perfect state.


3- Let's assume my body didn't secret the antibody that time, will there still be any need for the injection?

PS: Do not blame me for asking too many questions, ever since I read all these I've not been able to swallow ordinary water very well.

If a Rh– woman commits an abortion for a Rh+ man and the antibodies are activated in her system, the woman might end up childless throughout her life except if she later marries another man with with the same Rh–. The possibility of a Rh– woman finding a Rh– man is slim as about 85% of human beings are Rh+. [b]This is a warning to our young girls who commits abortions all in the name of boyfriend-girlfriend relationships.

Op, pls get your facts right on this topic and don't cause people to panic. If you have been sensitized and you didn't know and the antibodies activated in your blood, once you get pregnant again, you will most likely lose the child but after the loss, Rhogam-D can be taken to deactivate them and you can have a healthy baby later with repeated doses of the injection at 28wks of pregnancy and within 72hrs after delivery. Ewo ni ti "end up childless for the rest of your life" �

KunkAcid:
Transfusion of Rh + blood to a Rh - patient is absolutely outside the protocol of Blood transfusion medicine. Even the WHO upholds this.

Rh + blood MUST NEVER be indicated for a Rh - patient regardless of the emergency situation sir.

In the case of a female patient, this would be very devastating. If she survives the TR, she will never be able to have children if she has not hit menopause. Because, she has been sensitized in vivo. Any child conceive will suffer HDN.

However, if the patient is a Rh - post menopausal female and in critical need of transfusion, haven exhausted all options to get Rh - blood, Rh + blood may be given with loads of TR suppressants.

This is not an ideal practice but may be done in a daring emergency situation with the effect clearly explained to family relative(s) who will sign the consent form.


Cheers!

happney65:
Yeah I think so..However their case was over 25years ago so maybe they never knew sha..There was even a time the mother in law had to leave to the village because the wife accused her of being the one Wey dey chop their baby... Lol..Very funny scenario then..Things that happen on planet earth..Too Bad

KunkAcid:



I'd like to commend your effort in writing such a lengthy and educative post.

You also were very plain in your discuss, making it easy for most people to comprehend.

However, the post lacked medical depth and specificity.

NB: Your discuss on Rhesus (Rh) factor is without specificity as to which of the Rhesus factors.

There are 5 Rhesus factors amongst over 50 which are important to us. They are;
1. Rh D
2. Rh C
3. Rh c
4. Rh E
5. Rh e

Op, I believe the very Rhesus factor you have discussed is Rhesus factor D (Rh 'D').

Secondly, inheritance of the Rhesus factor is not solely from the father. The offspring can inherit it from either parents whether (+) or (-)

Take note and cheers!

ChelseaDr:
Thanks Op for this educative piece.
Let me however make this clarification. A child born to a rhesus negative mother and whose father is rhesus positive must not be rhesus positive as the op pointed out. The child may either be rhesus positive (like the father) or rhesus negative (like the mother).

Again, a rhesus negative woman can actually receive blood from a rhesus positive donor without the compatibility issues that will lead to maternal death as the Op posited. The only thing is to weigh the risk between saving the woman's life or allow her become sensitized. So the fear is for the future pregnancies not on the woman.

However, even in a setting of sensitization, the foetus can be monitored closely and many have been salvaged without dire consequences.

hi op.
God bless you for the write up. my wife is rh-. she once had miscarriage before now. we were advised to go for indirect coombs test.bwhich came out negative and you know Nigerian hospital and their time wasting tactics. I want to understand the negative outcome. does it means she hasn't develop antibodies or she has already. or does it mean the child is rh-. according to tour right up of a father is rh-+ then the child have to be rH+. please enlighten me a bit more. the doctor in charge of her case have refused to pick call since last week.
thank you in advance
