National good as in how ?

How does forcing us to all patronise you over the Chinese who are selling way cheaper than you promote national good or whatever you are spewing ?

Ignorant bigotry again. I am not a trader. Many of you need to go and study history. Its the government's job to regulate pricing for both the Nigerian and foreign traders to ensure economic stability. The traders often have multiple businesses and can pivot, but the regular citizens will be most affected long-term. Let God be merciful to Nigeria before we have foreigners controlling our homes and businesses.

FSBoperator:
This is how you tried exploiting patriotism to get other Nigerians to join in your hate campaign against SA because those ones wanted to kick you out of their country because of your drug dealings there.

I warned that it was senseless to shut down SA owned businesss like MTN and DSTV that contribute very sizeable chunk to our economy and pay huge taxes over the fate of sins drug dealers in SA.

I will be siding with the Chinese as they are selling same Chinese products at a bargain price over your own exploitative prices

In your ignorance and typical bigotry, you assumed I was an Igbo trader making a point. I am a professional, but I recognize colonization based on historical evidence I have seen in other countries where similar tactics were used. You're only looking at the short-term value. There are countries in Africa where the Chinese regulate their ports and defense forces. The US and the EU regulate the presence of foreigners in their countries for a reason and will never allow foreigners to come dominate their local markets. Do you think the Chinese Mafia is a joke? Once they get their hooks in, Nigeria is in serious trouble. The other day, I saw a video where a Chinese woman was teaching our Nigerian policewomen a Chinese song. Na small, small, these things dey start.

let everybody compete oga.... This is not China... If you can't compete carry your goods go back your village go sell stop being a nuisance in Lagos

I'm not a trader. I'm a professional. This is not about tribalism but the greater national good.

It's not a good thing for foreigners to come price out our citizens in our own markets. Can we do the same in China? The same Chinese are mining our resources at ridiculous rates, and we already owe them so much in borrowed loans over the last 10yrs. It's not a tribal thing here, even if the protest is led by the Igbos. It's a gradual colonisation.

I know another girl, Hossana, I worked with who also finished at 13 and wrote and passed ICAN at 16. My HMO boss then kept saying she was a genius. Unfortunately, her parents were too poor to sponsor her further so she was working with us at 18. Some parents push kids too much.

I'm very experienced and I still Google, even in the presence of patients. Medicine is incredibly broad and it's impossible to know and remember everything. Sometimes, I need to confirm dosages, side-effects or possible drug interactions. Even diagnoses need to reconfirmed if they're not the common ones.

If you watch medical series, the doctors are always pulling research, especially when they're not sure. A doctor who claims to know it all is a very dangerous doctor.

Stephen0mozzy:
Ask those patient if the hospital will give them a discount on their hospital bill because there was no light.

Come and tell me your answer.

Does PHCN give you discounts when they don't supply power?

This is General Hospital, Suleja.
Whenever I say Bago is a failed governor, people who either do not know Niger State or are APC apologists do argue. This hospital is under the auspice of the State Govt, so nobody should mention Federal Govt here.

Bago is a disappointment!

I actually served there about 20yrs ago and we were on a rotating 12 hr schedule of light on, light off. Of course, we had to use lanterns to attend to patients when there was no power.

Watch the video:

Na today? Would we leave the person to die because there is no light? We even operate on emergencies in the dark.

The purpose of baptism is to bring the person, child or adult, into the family of Christ. It washes away the original sin of Adam which everyone is born with. This is the reason for infant baptism in the Catholic Church. As they grow, they are taught more about the faith. At the age of reason which is about 7 years, they get to go to confession and then partake in Holy Communion through which they are sanctified. Jesus made it clear that we are to confess our sins to one another and whatever would be forgiven on earth would be forgiven in heaven or vice versa. In Acts 10, Cornelius and his entire household were baptized. Jesus also tells us to suffer the children to come unto me. It's all biblical, though subject to interpretation.

Personally, it's all my early childhood indoctrination that carried me through until I actually built a better relationship with God.

Peller was having an emotional breakdown. He needs medical assistance first before punishment. Go deal with the spoilt rich kids involved in reckless car-racing in Abuja first.

No adult can be forced into rehab under any circumstances. It must be a personal decision. The so-called rehab is not even in Nigeria and she will need the support of her loved ones if she is to go through the process.

If Ned was truly doing this in her best interest, he would not be doing everything in a way that alienates her family. I will say that in the beginning, Ned and Regina really seemed to be enamored by each other. It seemed to go beyond his wealth. He was very attentive and she was very supportive.

What seems to have gone wrong now is an attempt to enforce a skewed power dynamic. Ned being older and more established wants to flex his damaged ego to get what he wants by any means possible. Marriage is not by force and you cannot threaten or beat a woman back to a marriage, even if you have successfully done it in the past with Laila. Regina is too popular for that. He should let her move on. She's not his personal property.

If it were me, I would quietly flee the country and seek asylum because once someone turns you to a punching bag like this, you're never safe again.

I guess you can tag them "Gazelles".

I'm fortunate to have that information on both my maternal and paternal sides.

Why wasn't he screened at the airports? Such a person shouldn't have been able to cross borders in the first place.

Does it operate with only WiFi? I would have loved to get one.

Its absolutely true and everywhere in the news

You can read and digest yourself

As I said, yes, there were bad elements in USAID management, most especially at the local levels. In the area of contraception, I can absolutely say as a matter of fact, USAID gave us top-quality products and support. I also witnessed a lot of support provided in malaria prevention, HIV/AIDS, and TB.

JustSayHello:
USAID has always been known as a decoy to fund terrorists in poor nations, most especially Africa.

Those aids, were stored for a long time I think Belgium and has expired. Thanks for not sending expired and test vaccines to Africa

Not true! I personally worked with USAID on contraceptives for several years. They were top quality. Of course, some of our local people are criminals who have diverted funds and activities for their own gain and other nefarious activities, but the supplies were real. Not only did they provide contraceptives, they also equipped several government and private hospitals in Nigeria and paid their staff stipends.

For over a century, the South has consistently generated more revenue than the North, largely due to its superior transportation access.

Congratulations and well done! The sky is your stepping stone.

Lovely! Nigerians deserve their own wedding too.

Asaba is 100% Igboland, so the Niger Delta people can make all the noise they want. They should blame IBB for choosing to make it the state capital rather than Warri, but it is Igbos that own that place.

The true GOOOAAAT! You just have to admire his drive.

HajiaNotu:
They are mostly doctors doing housemanship or resident doctors...
Okay, thanks for the clarification..

It's not only at teaching hospitals that doctors are overworked. Even after NYSC, most of the private practice jobs expect doctors to work schedules like 8am - 5 or 6pm everyday then do 48hrs straight every alternate weekend. Ask for how much? 350k - 500k, after 7-8yrs of studying and practicing. When on night, it's 5 or 6pm till 8am and still alternate weekends. The working conditions are very stressful. Some doctors with young families or many dependants have to take up 24/7 jobs just to meet up.

It's better to cook and serve small food in your parlor after the wedding than this local restaurant set-up. I wish them the very best of a happy married life.

Bylaw:
Then if they die they signed up for it no one to blame. U rather take keke and be riding than put ur self at risk.

It's most common during the compulsory post-training period, known as housemanship, or early in residency when you're training to become a consultant. The fact is that the hospital must be manned at all times, and if you don't do it, you can be prevented from moving forward in your career. The problem lies primarily with understaffing, and even then, rosters should be drawn up more fairly. Doctors need to be excused from work the day after calls, and calls should not exceed 36 hours max.

Bylaw:
No that's not a job. The body demand u rest after 12hrs shift max. What u are describing is opening ur eyes for straight 24hrs or 72hrs straight no sleep

So how do u baf? That means doctors will be smelling.

What I described is the reality of a 72hrs call. Even the bath, if you have time, it's like a 5-10 minute shower. Not every shift will be so busy, but often you won't get the time to go off. If you take time to go far to do those things and any emergency happens, you get blamed for it by both your bosses and the patients and their relatives. Why do you think it is so exhausting that someone could die from it?

Bylaw:
How can you work 72hrs straight no sleep?

U dont understand what i mean. Like go to work 6am to 6pm today and then continue 6pm today to 6am the next day?

Yes, that is the job. The most you can do is doze. If patients come, you get up. The first call I did, I dozed for only about 15 minutes on the 3rd day. It was an extremely busy shift. That is generally the nature of medical work. You can't sleep properly while on duty, and whatever you meet on shift, you handle it as it comes. In a teaching hospital, there are usually no slow periods. It is the last bus-stop for the worst cases, so no breaks. Even eating meals is difficult so I usually carried biscuts in my pockets because there was no time to leave to go eat. sometimes, you're on the toilet and they're looking for you.

creolehunt:
Well, tens of thousands of doctors are inducted yearly too. Trust me, the number of migrating doctors is very negligible compared to the numbers produced.

That said, it's not easy to also migrate. The process is very tedious and cumbersome.

So, we should relax with this talk of brain drain. There are still many doctors unemployed and underemployed littered around.

How many of your graduated doctors are practicing? If they don't japa, they go into tech or business. I see the job boards everyday. There are still several unfilled vacancies.
