SalamRushdie:
They look like murderers

You are crazy

biacan:
Cardi B the lady with one hit single..........nicki Minaj is the boss she's the queen..... she's my mentor can't get enough of her I'm feeling myself.......as for cardi go sleep

Are they having issues before? She even acknowledged recently that she is a new comer and was nominated twice in the Grammies. There is always a first time for everyone. Rome wasn't built in a day

Belafonte:
So, you're saying nobody lies about being raped?

I am not saying that people don't lie about being raped. Bit if you are in the know, you would know that Rape is underreported. For every case of rape reported, there is about 300 cases that the victims just decided to keep mum and not pursue the case. I have seen many rape cases of minors. I have two people very close to me who were raped. Till your sister is raped, then you would understand. I am not praying for her to be raped, please.
The first case I encountered was a girl who was coming back from Onitsha to Ozubulu. She decided to take a bike because of the traffic jam. The okada man told her that he wanted to take a shorter and faster route through a lonely place. Omo, story change inside there. Do you know that the okada man choked and even used block on this girl's head and told her to remain calm else she would kill her? She hard to stay calm through the ordeal.
My brother, till when you see it and experience it first hand. I have seen children as little as 3 years raped. Ask any doctor around you and you would get to know that Rape is very very common.
But for me, that girl shouldn't have gone there talkless of cuddling. But it is not enough reason for rape.
Let the guy's and all rapists' p3n1s be cut off

Chuksemi:
Oga oh, calm down. People cook up stories everyday. Grave allegations are being laid against people daily around the world.

The lady should have known that rape is a very grave allegation, and you have to prove it. A mere twitter story isn't enough evidence. I am glad he has taken the case to court, he did the right thing.

How exactly do you want to prove it? By showing you her Veejay? Lemme tell you, rape is a very serious crime, and hard to produce evidence, especially when not looked into immediately. In fact, even if immediately,it can still be very hard especially in Nigeria where there is no forensics.
I believe since you have not seen rape victims before, you would be talking this rubbish. I have seen kids as little as 5 years raped in my line of duty. The one I was very pissed was a 12 years girl who was gangraped by her old landlord and his friends.
It is a pity that she lost her phone or something, but if through let him go to hell for all I care, till he apologizes. Who wouldn't threaten legal action to save face? Maina deh tell you say im deh guilty?

sk4real2:
Bross stop bearing false witness, were you there when the so called competency tests were administered? dont you know that Elrufai is a seasoned pathological liar? please always get facts before drawing up conclusions, i am from Kaduna state, my friends and relatives also failed the kangaroo tests because of their dissenting views on the sadistic midget's regime

Help me tell those your friends that they are 'iti' for failing such a cheap teat. The test has nothing to do with their dissenting quiz.
They should just enter agriculture and help Nigeria. Everyone shouldn't teach. Trust me they would help themselves and the country better in agriculture instead of sitting in the class and collecting allawee monthly

Chartey:
This man will not push them anywhere because his main aim is to reduce the amount of salaries he's paying.
All through Nigeria there are very bad teachers in government schools and I've seen this even in the South West.
I know a school in the S/West that students pass Math best in Waec but their Ss3 Math teacher can hardly construct a full sentence in English. The employment process is of course flawed but this teacher is definitely the best in the school(better than other teachers who can speak very good English) judging from results.

We are not talking about a teacher but lotta them. They should simply be moved elsewhere.

Oga, if a teacher who is supposed to have gone to university/teaching college, and can't pass a primary 4 exam, they simply shouldn't teach. What kind of product would they produce? They would simply perpetuate mediocrity.
Say no to bad teachers

rhames:
on point though but pushing them to other parastatals is another recipe for bigger disaster.

Not as administrative or teaching staff, maybe as Messengers where they don't have to use their brain

Chartey:
Some of us who could see through the smokescreen the Kaduna State Govt put up as competency examination for teachers always knew the motive was just to reduce the workforce and wage bill of the state.
Their propaganda seemed to work well.
Nobody has been able to verify the employment of teachers to replace them.
Now the state government is reported to have quietly sacked 4,180 local government workers.
Here's a copy of the termination letter distributed to the sacked workers.

If you ask me, those guys shouldn't even near the classroom again
I dunno in what capacity they should be employed. I would want to believe their appointment in the first place was political and therefore wrong. But to give it a human face, they can be pushed to other parastatals, to serve maybe as Messengers or something.
The kind of grammar many of those guys from up North spoke during my NYSC in our platoon group was nothing to write home about, and it obviously because they were not taught well.

Mbediogu:
I should be the one asking you. I am retired and doing just what I want, haven paid the price when I was your age. I am doing those things which I couldnt do at you age because of constraints of going up the ladder. l get more relaxed when I go overseas because here many people know me.

Yeah, that's what I mean. When I have finally removed my scrubs to settled.....

Mbediogu:
Get her to call me when she's put in atleast 30years after her part two fellowship. Then we can talk about spectacle colostomy and hemi-colectomies. Appendicectomies? Cheers anyway.

Chiefest chief, what are you doing in Nairaland? ��
Hoping to get to your stage one day... Good day

Ugbavihi:
I had such surgery sometime ago at onitsha, the doctor jc orakwe conducted a surgery on me in company of his son who was also a urologist...... Was an amazing experiemce..

He was my teacher in school. He is a sound teacher, but I would never forgive him for denying me my leave during house job (internship) just for the sole reason that a house officer should always remain in the hospital and not go on leave. No be the same civil service employ us? ��

Oblongata:
Combatant?

The car is too low

The space between the two tyres is too far apart ,making the ride vulnerable to getting stuck

The tyres itself is whack, too small to be for combat

Aside the raised back, this could easily pass for an old model chevrolet

Etc

If we continue they will say we dey beef

Whereas we dey try inform others that might want to try it

Oga analyser, go construct your own.

Una no go for once cast una sentimentality aside and offer the guy some mood-lifting comments. You deh expect Ferrari or Jeep before?

Abeg park one side

ScotFree:
Fresh out of med school i guess and first time surgeon's assistant. That's why you've still got the 'highs' to post photos.
Congrats and welcome newbie

Haha, you no get joy. Na rite of passage nah

I saw this joke that one guy posted yesterday. He said that it was high time the FG looked into the health sector, else, soon, it would be only two doctors that are remaining in Nigeria- Dr Sid and Small doctor ���.
Anything that works for you folks, doctors and non-doctors alike. Each man should do what seems best to him

osemoses1234:
Why tie them like cow this Nigeria don tire me na Dem sabi

Omo, with the way those guys are brutal in the open say, the least we can do is to tie them like goats. I don't support lynching or extrajudicial killing, but they need to be made to suffer too, like they make others

These girls rock.

Lalasticala, honeric01, Semid4lyfe take note��. No be only snakes deh go front page

The Nigerian female Bobsledding team comprised of former track stars Seem Adigun, Ngozi Onwumere, Akuoma Omeoga has made Nigeria and Africa proud by being the first African male or female team to qualify for the world Winter sports.
Portraying the Nigerian 'never-sat-never' spirit, these ladies had to start from the scratch and drive themselves till they qualified, with virtually no input from the 'beret-wearing ministry's��.
They launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise funds, while they built a wooden contraption with which they trained. In fact, in their first try out, they didn't have a bobsled of their own, bit had to hire from one of the American winter sports club. But today, they have finally qualified. Let us support them.

NwaAmaikpe:



This is why it is not advisable to have rough sex with pregnant women.


This swelling is a result of the baby's head being constantly hit violently by the father's preek when he was still in the womb.

NwaAmaikpe, you are do funny. That is Hydrocephalus. Look it up

Pidgin2:
What are you doctors doing for Nigerian citizens? We have doctors without borders, UN, and other international organizations contributing to the welfare of ordinary citizens without expecting funds from Nigeria, so do we have a group of Nigerian doctors under a particular organization giving of themselves to fellow citizens in need, why are you people so money minded, is this what the medical field is all about? Money money money. No wonder average citizens detest you lot.

Every job has its risk, you are taught how to minimize the likelihood of being infected in case of exposure yet they still pay you for it, who pays a carpenter who mistakenly saws his hand off? Always so selfish in reasoning.

Your analogy of a carpenter is absolute trash. Lemme tell you, do you know the countless times I have donated blood for my patients right from student days (FYI, I am a voluntary and regular blood donor), how many times I have had to help pay for a patient drugs or investigations? You breath trash from your high moral throne and think that I/we don't go out of our way to help people. Even if some don't, I do. I have countless patients that I have treated who still contact me uptill today, to just greet.
I bet you, if an Ebola person enters your street, you would not come outside for one month, but we were expected to work without a good protective kit during the Lassa fever. We were given just an just facemasks AND WE WORKED. I watched a colleague die right in my face of Lassa, and you are there telling me rubbish about a Carpenter sawing off his hand. How about that the supposed HAZARD ALLOWANCE IS NOT ENOUGH TO BUY ME A SHOT OF HEPATITIS B VACCINE IN ORDER TO PROTECT MYSELF WHILE I WORK. It would take approximately 1 year of hazard fee to purchase a single shot of the vaccine which is not enough, while a lecture in the university earns a hazard of at least 30k/month to protect him from what I can't fathom as I type this. I can only speak for myself and my profession. Everyone should bear his or her own burden.
You stand there and talk rubbish. Is it when I die and after having put my life on the line for so long that you would be happy? Do you think I don't have parents, brothers and sister and relatives who depend on me?
Lemme tell you, HUMANITARIAN duty does not put food on the table, neither does it pay for your children's school fees.
I go out of my way to ensure that I render my best to people who I have been privileged to attend to, but don't think at the end of the day, that I don't have needs to meet.
Anyway, I don't expect that the solution of this whole thing is with you, but as you guys continue to attack and villify us, I have absolutely no apologies for the steps I take, or the advice I give to my younger ones.

polymaths:
They better stay and enjoy their minimum wage, because that abroad they will go back to class again, white men don't have trust in our medical practitioners, they will have to train you. For abroad Nigerian doctors are nurses . Only identification of medical instruments alone will fail them , because most of them will be seeing some instruments for the first. I don't even like Nigerian doctors at all, you will see in them that they went for the career because of money not because of passion to save life.

Hahahahaha, iti akwu. Just Google 'Nigerian doctors in Texas' alone. Nigerians doctors are doing well for themselves in the US. Have you forgotten the surgery that was carried out on a child still in the womb, that was conducted by a Nigerian? Stop being sentimental and apply your energy towards bettering yourself instead of attacking doctors. Nobody attacked you, why attack them? Rubbish

Exciton:
I have no qualms with jumping ship due to abysmal pay. However, I'm tired of the numerous dishonest stories on Twitter about why they're quitting because of equipment.

They are mainly leaving because there's an international demand for those in their profession and the pay is good.

I get your point. But infrastructure is also a reason too. You know, I mean holistically. During one of my classes, one of our lecturers told us a story that involved one man like that who invited him over on Sunday. The point I want to make from this story is that the Man was given an MRI machine by the university, just for himself to do his research, at Baylor College of Medicine. This is a machine that I don't think we have up to 20 in the whole of Nigeria, and someone is using it as his personal toy (this was just the exact sentence the lecture used to describe it). For me, it is the poor renumeration and poor working environment/conditions that affects me directly that I am kicking against. Do you know that if you catch Hepatitis B or Ebola in a teaching hospital, do you know it is 5k that is reserved for that? When a even the immunization for Hepatitis B would cost you nothing less than 80-100k?

Falzdbadtguy:
If we are leaving, just leave and stop throwing turd. We know things are bad. Not, except we want to make a change. Many of us are too overwhelmed to make a change, have no opportunity or not competent enough to.

Making a change is revolutionary and very complex.

I think i left Nigeria for many reasons. I wanted to see the world, have light 24/7, see how Oyinbos tick. Being a doctor just gave me the opportunity. Being a Nigerian, gave me the motivation.

The truth is , who doesn't want a better life? will u go to Zamfara to do residency if u get residency in UCH and will you live in Sango-Ota, if you have opportunity to living in Ikoyi.

Spot on. That's the reason I left too. That's the reason all of us are leaving too. To have a better life...

Cuteamigo1:
thats is what you have been saying for ages and the scourge is no where to ve found. dont get me wrong bro am happy about this situation myself but making it worse is not the way out. the moral compass of doctors is to save life but doctors nowadays just want to burn a big hole in your pocket because they want to balling like thier counterparts abroad. well goodluck because you are gona need it.

All the while we have been shouting and protesting, they would all jump and start have frantic orgasm while typing 'selfish Nigerian doctors'. Now that the reality is setting in, they want to resort to blackmail again.

Exciton:
A good number of them hide under the excuse of "no equipment" but are solely after the money. These guys get cheap as fvck education in Naija, dump the helpless masses and go for higher paying rates outside the country. Even if we had equipment, many of them would still take the PLAB or whatever exam.

I recently read an article about how doctors and engineers, who brave dangers in explosion ridden Gaza, work together to 3D print basic medical equipment and they aim for much more than that.

Sure, we've got major issues with corruption and underfunding. However, their response doesn't solve the problem. It only hurts more people in the long run.

Hahahaha, so you no know the guy we you mention deh UK? Abeg, to hell with the emotional blackmail. Why don't you become a doctor and stay in Nigeria? You would understand it then when you are offered a 60k job and told to stay put in that hospital 24/7/365 when a teacher who pockets similar goes to a 8-4pm job, and have a life outside her work place, while you after having not done anything in the last 7 years of your life, are still expected to not have a life again, especially at a pittance. Abeg, lemme not just talk. . .

Zhinurayn17:
It's called hematospermia
Cause by inflammation around the male reproductive part.. Which can happen as a result of rough and careless sexual intercourse or regular masturbation
Well not to worry.. It's gonna stop later
Maybe after a month

Like seriously? ��

Unfortunately, there is a much more bigger picture, and problem of health is just one of them....It goes beyond building hospitals, etc....We have a long way to go to be in the league of super nations. If u want to go, Go. But, don't forget u trained in Nigeria and probably might not have been able to get into medical school abraod or afford it...Yet, you will now h=gain work as a doctor there without owing massive student loans!!!!

SO don't come here and say nonsense. What's happening in Africa is sad, but it's not entirely the fault of this generation. We were born into this mess. The great nations have gained greatness over a century of blood and sweat and we have to pay our dues b4 the tide can change. Oh, by the way, i'm a Doctor typing from UK

You are typing from UK and you want me to go back to Nigeria and slave it while you have a good standard of life in UK? Abeg come back and stay small, lemme go and try my own luck�����

Dude, don't talk about loans. Do you think I am here free of charge, I am here on loans up my ass, and I have to pay back when I am done. Lemme not tell you my story, bit just know that where there is a will, there is a way. I cannot mortgage my future using the blackmail of I was trained in Nigeria. So I was trained for 6 years by family who slaved to see me through, so I would mortgage the rest of my life to be earning rubbish and be answering 'doc' bit cannot afford to comfortably put food on my table and take care of my family? Do you know the job opportunities available bin Nigeria? The available space? That people jump for 300 naira/hour locum job? You must be kidding yourself

obonujoker:
IPOB doctor.... Nnamdi Kanu has brainwashed you.... Let's vote for Buhari in 2019 again to right the wrongs of 100 years error leaders....
Buharo will fix the rot in the Medical, Engineering and even other sectors.....

Hahahaha, which one be IPOB doctor again? My guy, my classmates till today make mockery of me that I supported Buhari during the elections. But I can boldy tell you that Buhari is and would never be the same price of Nigeria. Let us try another person, I don't care where the person comes from, Our current president and his cabinet do not have the cannot run Nigeria well

Falzdbadtguy:
where in the world will you work as a house officer and be able to afford a new car after 1 year of housemanship, without taking a financial plan....This is not true....Here in Uk, a new car goes for maybe 18,000- 20,000+....and even if its fairly new, for a Honda accord, u will still spend about 14 or 15k.....with ur F2 salary, you will manage to save 10k ayear, if u are paying rent. The only way is to take a loan. Or after years of practice, you can pay cash. But the life is generally better, far far better. Not taht u can just buy new car as u please though

And take note, in Nigeria, like 3-5 years back, you could buy a new Camry with your salary, when a new Camry was less than 1.5million. But now, the economy is messed up that you would be grateful to see a secondhand Camry of that amount. I have classmates who bought cars with there house job money. Things went out of hand during Buhari's tenure. That's why I noted that. Price of commodities rise, but your Salary is stuck like 10years late

Oga, I understand your point. I don't know how it is, the cost issue of a thing. But one thing I have discovered staying here in the past two months is that things are expensive, like cutting my hair should take like 25dollars and that is like 8k or so Nigerian money. I buy good Todd shoes in Nigeria 12-15k, but here small Aldo shoes goes for 80$, that's like 24k. I don't understand why it is that way. I thought it should be cheaper in Oyibo. I don't understand.

Back to the point, the environment and the way the practice is structured is in such a way that in Nigeria, you comparatively should start earning better from house job, unlike in the US where even though you might be earning supposedly 50k dollars per year, as a resident, you would practically spend it on your daily leaving and not get a chance to save something significant because of the cost of leaving. The system works in the west, but you got to pay for it.
Now when you are done with the residency, there is a sudden upsurge in your earning power and quality of life, that you can easily PAY for a 35k dollars (convert it in Naira) neat BMW, down payment, within a year. Yes, within a year. But you see that resident and consultant in Nigeria, do you think his pay or earning power or quality of life jumps up? Capital 'NO'. This is just like a Nigerian doctor doing locum in the UK, with a white resident, and they might be making something similar, bit after residency, the Citizen just dusts you salary-wise, while you are stuck in locum.
If you trained or worked in Nigeria, you would understand where I am coming from. Residency renumeration in the US is structured to still be like a school. (I know Naija is supposed to be same, but the way the pay package is, economy has made it that if you are earning like 200k in a month, in your mind you would be like I am balling.
