Nonsensical nonsense

demelza:
Maybe if you had gone ahead to sue, it would have made them sit up and we would have avoided tragedies such as this.
God won't come down and do everything!

The trauma, the pain, and the cutting short of expecting joy was just too much for me after the sad incidence, I had to fly my wife to the UK to rest and recover from the bitter experience.

Very painful.

It is well.

I have my unpalatable personal experience with St. Nicolas Hospital.

If I had sued for damages, mismanagement and negligence of duty, I would have gotten millions of Naira compensation from that careless hospital.

Anyway, I have moved-on as a good Christian and leave all matters to the creator.

Mr. Charles, continue to rest in peace, and may God grant your wife and family the fortitude to bear the loss of your untimely death in the hands of some careless medical practitioners in Nigeria.

Gov. Akinwumi Ambode, please do something before we start hearing stories that touches the heart.

Our correspondent approached another nurse, who advised him to go to the Emergency and Surgical ward and use the male patients’ toilet.

A male doctor at the ward directed our correspondent to a small room beside the doctors’ waiting room, which served as the patients’ toilet.

Our correspondent observed that the flush handle had broken down, and the zinc reeks of fermented urine, while the floor was littered with tissue paper.

There was however, a bucket with a bowl, under a leaking tap.

The choking smell did not make PUNCH Metro last beyond two minutes in the toilet.

However, some workers at the hospital were spotted by our correspondent using an uncompleted building.

Our correspondent learnt that the unroofed building was an abandoned project which was supposed to serve as a toilet facility.

A female patient, Ojo Busola, described the condition of the only two toilets in the maternity ward as terrible.

While claiming never to have soiled the hospital environment, she said lack of water sometimes left her discouraged in the toilet.

She said, “There are only two toilets in the maternity ward and the lightening system is faulty. So, whenever we go there, especially in the evening, we use torches. Sometimes you get there and there is no water. The toilet in the labour room is the only one in good condition.”

“The lack of water sometimes delays the time babies are cleaned up. There was a day that babies could not bath throughout that day because there was no water. So, it is not just a problem with toilet facilities, water is also included,” she said.

The World Health Organisation in its publication on Hospital Hygiene and Waste Infection said people could become infected with diseases from a dirty hospital environment.

It said, “In a health-care facility, the sources of infection and of the preceding contamination may be the personnel, the patients, or the inanimate environment. The hospital environment can be contaminated with pathogens.

“Nosocomial infections – known also as hospital-acquired infections, hospital-associated infections, and hospital infections– are infections that are not present in the patient at the time of admission to hospital, but develop during the course of the stay in the hospital.”

It added that patients with underlying disease, newborn babies, and the elderly, had less resistance and could develop an infection after contamination.”

A senior official in the state’s Ministry of Health, Dr. Adegoriola Longe, told our correspondent that the visitors’ toilet was built by the management of the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital.

“As a background, please note that we have toilets that are for the public. Some of the facilities were formerly being handled by LASUTH, but were later handed over to the Gbagada General Hospital,” he said.

The Medical Director of the hospital, Dr. Ajibola Ishola, said the hospital’s toilet was under repairs.

He said visitors were allowed access to other toilets in the hospital.

He said, “The hospital toilet is not shut down. The one there is filled quickly and the fault detected is under repair. Patients and relations are allowed access to the multiple toilets within the buildings.”

October 20, 2015 : Samson Folarin

Human wastes have taken over the premises of the Gbagada General Hospital, Gbagada, Lagos State.

A large number of people at the facility told PUNCH Metro that the development posed health risks to residents of the area, patients and visitors.

During a two-week observation by PUNCH Metro, it was discovered that pregnant women, patients and visitors to the hospital ease themselves on the premises of the hospital.

Some of the patients and visitors, who spoke with our correspondent, blamed the situation on the hospital management’s failure to provide toilets.

They lamented that if nothing was done to address the challenge on time, an epidemic could break out.

A visitor, Mrs. Tolulope Adeniyi, said she came to the hospital to look after a sick relative who was on admission in the hospital.

She said she had been going to a bush close to the Combined Clinics and Ward to ease herself since arriving at the hospital.

She said, “I have been here for more than three days now. Each time I have to defecate, I go to the bush to do that. Initially, I was reluctant to do it, but I don’t have any other option.

“Sometimes, I stepped on the faeces of other people and the smell in that place is horrible. But what I do is to drop my own, and cover it up with tissue paper before leaving.”

Another visitor, Mrs. Joke Ogungbile, explained that she always left the hospital for a relative’s house to answer the call of nature.

“If one is not careful, one could get infected in this place. Whenever I am pressed, I always go to a relative’s house. After I am done, I return to the hospital to watch over my relative,” she said.

But another visitor, Gbemisola Areogun, said she tried to moderate her feeding to avoid having any reason to ease herself.

Areogun, whose daughter-in-law had been in the labour room for two days, said, “I try to moderate the way I eat here so as to avoid being pressed and wanting to go to the toilet. There is no toilet here and I have to be with my son’s wife. I can’t imagine using the bush.”

Our correspondent discovered that the situation became inevitable as the only public toilet that was supposed to serve the hospital’s visitors, had been closed down for months.

Many new visitors, who were turned back at the entrance of the toilet, were observed by our correspondent peeing in its surroundings.

Others went to a corner at the back of the female ward, where they defecated.

Our correspondent saw different moulds of human wastes in the area, some of which were covered with leaves and tissue paper.

A man was seen by our correspondent urinating on the wall of the hospital’s female ward.

A child was also seen defecating at the waiting section of the ward in broad daylight.

When our correspondent asked a nurse for a place to defecate, he was directed to the bush.

The nurse said, “You are a man now, and you should not be ashamed to use the bush. Just try to cover yourself up with leaves and stay some distance away. We used to have a public toilet, but because people were always soiling the place, it was shut.”

HungerBAD:
See wetin? a PDP member trying to tarnish the Country's image?by pretending to be working for the Presidency?yeah i see.

oya, go & edit your post sharp, sharp

You see...


70-year- old fake Presidential Adviser on Defence Matters.


The septuagenarian like Buhary should not be blamed, he has seen from the trend in this administration, that 70+ is the age bracket of the appointees (Starting from Joda to Audu) and he fits into the gap.

Grandpa, enjoy your retirement in jail.

HungerBAD:
That means say Fire go Kill Barcanista,Firefire and Truckpusher.

These 3 na my Landlords.

ooooo, I think say, we be your Tenants ooooo.

I beg, you be d Landlord, carry your load oooooo

HungerBAD:
Loser.

[s]He should have been born in Tanzania.

They should help us keep him, so he does not return to our country.

He has done enough damages already[/s].

You see your life, hatred for the anointed one no go kill you...

Question for the gods.

SmartMugu:
I'm starting to agree with you. We probably would have seen some activities if this was still the military era. Now that it's democracy and due processes have to be followed on several matters, I guess baba is confused on what he has on his plate today versus in the 80s when everything happened however the military ruler wanted.

Few days ago, Gen. Yakubu Gowon at Okene seek for more time and understanding of Nigerians for Buhary, as ruling a country like Nigeria under democracy is difficult and complex.

A lot of bottlenecks and ambiguous constitutional requirement.

tomakint:
Are we about to witness the end of an era for a political traitor of our time in few days from now as the accused, embattled Senate President, Senator Bukola Saraki, face what may likely be his FINAL BATTLE in his gross corruption case at the CCT come Oct 21st, 22nd and 23rd. I hope and pray that JUSTICE will prevail!

Not only for Bukola Saraki but for all the looters in the history of Nigeria democracy since 1999.

All the corruption cases in Nigeria should be given accelerated hearing and those found guilty should be dealt with according to the law of the land.

If Nigeria will ever be a great Nation, our judiciary or judicial system should be holistically review, enough of unending court proceedings, enough of granting perpetual injunction to the looters of our common wealth.

- Peter Odili's perpetual injunction granted by Justice Ibrahim N. Buba stopping Nigerian security agencies including the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission from investigating the former governor of River State, Peter Odili, for corruption.

- Nigerian court headed by Justice Adamu Bello also granted perpetual injunction against Maina’s arrest. Abdulrasheed Maina, a former Chairman of the Pension Reform facing trial for N195b pension scam.

- Malam Sanusi Lamido Sanusi the former CBN Governor through his Counsel, Prof Yemi Osibanjo (SAN), also got an interim order of injunction from Justice Buba, restraining the government from arresting, detaining, or harassing the applicant (Sanusi).

It's high time we addressed the loopholes in our judicial system which our lawyers and SANs like Prof. Yemi Osinbajo are exploiting to continue defending looters and corrupt leaders in Nigeria.

Shalom!

Body Language abi na body odour is now fully evaporated into tin air.

According to the Yoruba leader, the administration has not done any tangible thing after spending five months in office.

Buhary is still learning the arts of governance in the 21st century.

I blame Buhary.

Since Buhary appointed Burantai the snake man, cum the "snake-army press-up General" displayed his snakes-house and snake farm, Nigeria has witnessed explosion of snakes in all direction across the country.

Buhari sef...

Na wa for dis govt oooo

Cabalocracy


A government of the Cabals by the Cabals for the Cabals.


It basically means, the running of a country based on the impulse of the few that have been entrusted with the care and allocation of the Commonwealth of it's people.


Buhary & APC, BIGEST SCAM in the history of Africa.

"While we appreciate the fact that Mr. Adesina is not conversant and knowledgeable in politics and intricate issues of governance, he should have applied the common sense of covering his hollowness in this regard and save the Presidency the embarrassment of an arrogant attempt to wave off very serious questions hanging in the face of the present administration".

Cabal is back...

“As the judgment of the Federal High Court cited above is binding on the federal government by virtue of section 287 (3) of the Constitution President Mohammadu Buhari ought to fill the existing vacancies in the INEC without any further delay.

Buhary vs. Abacha

What

Buhary sef

Pesuzok:
Dont worry, EFCC eagle will turn soon. It can only look one side at a time

The Eagle better start turning both side...

Send him to jail straight.

Buhari sef.

Buhary when will you order the arrest of Rotimi Amaechi ?

When will you order the arrest of Mutala Nyako?

When will you order the arrest of Tunde Fashola?

When will you order the arrest of Audu & Sylvia?

OBJ Peesidential Library in Abeokuta needs to be investigated.

Atiku private University must be probed.

How your cows and houses increase within 1 year must be investigated by Transparency International.

APC, party of professional looters and career liars.
