Why share a picture taken centuries ago on a thread talking about how it still stands in 2022? What are we supposed to do with the old picture? It would have been a good reference if you had shared a recent one along with it.
EducationRe: Pyjamas Day: See What Schools Are Turning Into by etrange: 1:56pm On Jul 05, 2022
What's the problem exactly? This isn't a Buhari or Nigerian thing. Many schools abroad incorporate such fun activities into nursery education a lot. Anything that makes the idea of schooling fun, safe and healthy is OK. A day set out to play seems fun. I'm sure most people would find it cool if it were a US school doing this. The other day, we read about a Chinese school that has adjustable chairs so that pupils can sleep, and front page people were calling out Nigeria for creating "work-only" environment for our kids. Now a Nigerian school is doing something fun, and people are calling them out for not knowing what proper education should be like. Nigerians just hate anything Nigerian.

Both the man and the hospital should be penalized. Why would the management of the hospital allow an 85 year old man to carry out surgical procedures? Even if there was a logical reason for him to be working at that age, I can't think of any reason why he should be operating on patients. Regardless of how skilled he used to be, he is now weak both mentally and physically.

My point was mostly based on the current decision of mdcn, do you know the sharp practices in Ukraine now. If you know someone studying there they will tell u better. It is better they suspend them for now until things get much better
Please, read the first person I quoted, read my response to him, and see the point I am challenging. His post wasn't about Nigeria's decision at all, so that is not the bone of contention here. So maybe you shouldn't have quoted me cause my post had nothing to do with the current situation in the country but rather, I was correcting the guy who said Ukrainian doctors are quacks and can't be compared to thier Nigerian counterparts. The online thing just started a few weeks ago and Nigeria is right to be skeptical about it. That's common sense. Nevertheless, Ukraine had some of the best medical schools out there prior to the war. Anyone is refusing to acknowledge that is just being biased. Their doctors are not just good, they are great, and they work in many western countries today. The US/Canada wouldn't employ under qualified medical practitioners.

Below is what the guy said and that's untrue. He is just a Russian supporter who does not know how to treats different subjects in isolation.
Those so called doctors trained in Ukraine are eye sore. They don't know anything. They are total disgrace. Both in clinical and theory. Lots of them are not even close to Nigerian trained doctors, talkless of been on par with them. I don't know if it's jamboree they went there to do.

Bc you know nothing of what you're writing. I'm telling u fact which u need to find out yourself.

How can people who are not allowed to touch white patients know anything close to Nigerian trained Drs with heavy access to patients. U think say medicine be like social studies taught online? Lol
Don't change the goalposts. Has Ukraine produced any doctor since the war started? Were the present Ukrainian doctors taught online? I'm not referring to online education that just started cause of the war. The person I quoted trashtalked Ukraine's school of medicine by suggesting thier doctors are quacks and that is bullshit spewed out of sentiments cause Ukraine was one of the leading places to study medicine prior to the war. I answered that comment comprehensively. You didn't address any of the points I raised there but rather, you're repeating the same trash like a poorly trained Amazon parrot, so there's nothing for me to engage.

BBC must shut up
My post has nothing to do with Nigeria's decision regarding the online studies. I'm not against that. I'm only correcting the guy I quoted who Ukraine trained doctor's quacks just because he wants to take a side on the war. The online studies just started recently and Nigeria has good reasons to be skeptical about it. Nevertheless, Ukraine's schools of medicine were top notch prior to the war and thier doctors were doing just fine all over the world. So the person I quoted was just being overly biased and sentimental.

Sorry sir, but I disagree with this submission. It's more opinionated than factual. You probably just don't like the country. I support Nigeria's decision too, but let's stick with the facts. Ukraine's medical education was doing just great prior to the war

How many of their doctors have you interacted with to come up with this assertion? There's a reason why Nigerian doctors are doing great abroad despite the poor education in the country. Yes, some schools are better than others, but the country of graduation is not really a major factor in MBBS provided that first, school is accredited by a body recognized by the WFME; second the school is recognized by the host country; and third, the individual is able to pass the regional professional license exams of the host country. This is why you see doctors from Sub-Saharan Africa getting jobs and doing well all over the world despite the so-called poor education in the region. Are you suggesting these countries are all better than Ukraine when it comes to medicine?

If the Ukrainian doctors you're referring to are practicing anywhere outside Ukraine, they are verted and considered as good as thier local counterparts. We have many of them here in the US/Canada and they're doing just as good as their colleagues from all over the world. The US/Canada will NEVER employ any medical practioner that can be described the way you did above. Besides, there's no single recognized med school rating out there that put Nigeria or any African country above Ukraine. Many of them have Ukraine in the top 10 to 20. So I'm surprised by your claims. If you had an ugly experience with a Ukrainian doctor, it definitely does not sum up the performance of the entire medical schools.

Here u go again...what do you mean by cornered?? U see why i say u are condescending and dialogue like u are trying to win a non exsitent glory??

Shy away?? Man?? U are something else?? Shy from you..?? For what??

....phobia is fear..i stand on it and there are different types of phobias to prove it......ur google screenshot dont mean anything because there are proofs info are changed online to suit narratives....

Forexample ...Are u aware someone came.up with the ideology of center of gravity in the anus...there is no such in 100s of yeara of medical science research....u will not fimd a single published medical/human anatomy journal backing it up... yet some crazy people brought it up to suit some gay narrative...

When the LgBt community wanted to coin a stupíd word to tag those that are not see things the way they do they came up with homophobia....

are you aware the WHO was accused of the same thing in 2020 when they deliberately changed the meaning of vaccine to validate their corona virus vaccine non-efficaccy...??

U dont have to agree with me..its only a conversation...if you cant engage in a civil way..without sounding like we are in fight...just ignore


Finnally...Conversation with you is not healthy..so i'm not shying from you.... i dont just like dialoging with people that insult to make points and behave like they are in a competition...

pointing it to you is not attacking your personality....i was just letting you know why i dont want to continue the discussion..
What I shared with you was from Google definitions. That's a reference and references are used to by sane people to support thier submissions. It's an English word and you don't know the language more than the natives. So you can't just stand there and give the word phobia your own meaning just to satisfy your hatred for a group of people. I don't care how many times WHO has been accused of whatever, it has no bearing on the fact that phobia means fear or aversion. I don't need WHO or any organization to say it before I know that as an independent entity.

When the word "xenophobia" was used to describe the hatred South Africans had for foreigners in their country, was it the LGBTQ people that coined it for them too? Do you only challenge words when it suits you or maybe you thought South Africans were just afraid? You think I am condescending, yet you're the one that believes you're better than others just cause you're straight. Such a paragon of humility, you must be. Like I said, you've not made any sense so far and I doubt you'd make any. The only thing you've shown so far is that you're spending linguistically rigid you don't have any idea what contextual meaning is all about. If you think I'm condescending, level up.

Its a faceless online forum man with millions of opinions..u take like too hard
You'd rather address my personality than the subject of discussion. That's a typical behavior of a cornered person. There is nothing wrong with the word homophobia, dude. You got it wrong. Deliberately throwing jabs at my personality from now till tomorrow why shying away from your wrong submission won't change that.

You talk too much just to pass small opinion..its condescending but thats common on nairaland so carry on..

Homo means same... and its not a word exclusive to gay or homosexuality like u gave examples of other words that has homo in the. ...

. phobia means fear not hatred ...hatred and being very afraid are two different thing..

So...How does homophobia translate to hatred for gay people...??

Out of everything u said?? Did u address everything i said too?? U picked the part you wanted to address...what's the big deal in that.
I'm not responsible for your self confidence or lack of thereof. So if you find my post condescending, go work on yourself. I addressed what you said squarely. Even if my response was long, at least, you got the point.

The meaning of homo is contextual and in this context, it is clearly referring to homosexuality. Just like in the word "homophobia", it used to start many words and in each of these words, the meaning differs. It doesn't exclusively refer to homosexuality but that doesn't mean I can't refer to homosexuality. So what's your point?

And no, phobia does not mean "fear" alone. It also hatred. The issue is here is the poor education in Nigeria and the limited use of words. A little Googling would have spared you this embarrament. Look at the image below. Did you see the word "aversion"? Do you know what it means?

Homo-phobia....??

Im still wondering Who tha fvck come up with that word...??

Like ...it doesnt even serve its purpose...

We all know what phobia and Homo means..

The LGBTQZAG is full of so much cráp and lies
What is wrong with the word though? Homo as a prefix means "same" e.g. homogeneous, homosexuality, homophone, homonym, etc. In this context, it is referring to homosexuality. Phobia means intense fear of or hatred for something. In this context, it's more of hatred. So homophobia is intense hatred for gay people.

But wait, so out of everything I said, it is who came up with the word for you? Have you asked yourself who came up with the word watermelon? Don't we all know what water is and what melon? Definitely, watermelon isn't melon at all. Have you asked yourself who came up with the word grapefruit? Don't we all know what grape is and what fruit is? Definitely, grapefruit isn't grape at all. The point is, the etymology of the word itself doesn't matter if we all know the meaning. That's how languages work and it could be called anything and it won't still change the meaning. So if in a conversation as serious as human rights, you're more interested in who came up with the word, then that's another level of pettiness.

AllahIsGarbage:
A lot of people don't know that long before the filthiness of homosexuality and transgenderism began in the West, Hausa Fulanis were happily practicing their own version of it called Yan Daudu. Many of the top abóki politicians and businessmen you here about patronise these Yan Daudus for "special" services. if you know, you know
Homosexuality did not begin at any point. It has always been part of mankind in all parts of the world. It definitely did not start in the West. Rich women married women in Eastern Nigeria back then. They were gay people in Africa before the advent of the white man. Even the Bible acknowledged the existence of homosexuality. What the West started in Africa was homophobia and which they introduced using their religion and thier laws.

So when you say "before it started in the West", you're probably saying "before the West started acknowledging the rights of gay people".
