Gd day rinzylee, pls with regards to hcpc registration for physiotherapists, is a masters degree compulsory? Have people been successful at it without a masters degree?

HealthRe: Isaac Adewole To JOHESU: Resume Or Be Declared As Having Absconded From Duty by georgebruno(m): 1:28pm On May 30, 2018
And if this sinister move fails, what next for you Mr minister? These are the desperate moves of a drowning man. The minister is surely on his way out and the health sector is gearing for a major shake up. I hope NMA have a game plan for when all these fails because this would probably be the last ever strike in a very long while.

For those looking for international best practices.
Stop deceiving the people. The figures in the column for doctors are for specialists and not entry level doctors. Entry level doctors earn just a little higher than what is obtainable for other health professions. I'm beginning to wonder if part of the training in medical school involves a special course in telling of lies.

AgricultureRe: Cost Implication For The Cultivativation Of 1 Hectare Of Cassava Production. by georgebruno(m): 7:38pm On May 14, 2017

Good stuff. We need to put caveat on these cassava posts so people understand each of us is speaking from our experiences and each farmer's experience is different. I am currently planting cassava and maize on 164 acres in Kobape on Abeokuta-Sagamu Express and will like to share my experience based on the topic being discussed. One, do not go into farming as a part-time, passive income investment. It is not possible to monitor, supervise, manage a farm on Skype or via an Excel sheet. You must be personally involved. Two, LISTEN. ASK QUESTIONS. BE HUMBLE. Do not take what you read online or in textbooks without cross checking them with on-the-farm reality. Most of the farmers in the village are deeply knowledgeable and will gladly and freely share decades of experience with you. Three, choose your battles and FOCUS. There will be many attractions and distractions. People will bring suggestions. You cannot do all. Pick some of their ideas and drop others. You will use them later.

Now to specific questions. I will not advise a farmer cross-plants cassava and plantains for three reasons: Spacing - Both cassava and plantain stretch their stems and leaves and need fresh air. Land utilization: The farmer will be required to make ridges that are at a good distance apart hence leaving gaps on the land. Yield: In case the first two are not looked at very cautiously, yield for both plants will be poor.

Concerning profitability, the main gaps I see with farmers are knowledge and patience. Most farmers plant the wrong variety vs their desire. Some want to sell to companies, others want to sell to fufu/start local buyers. Some want to sell to big companies that process them into flakes, chips, start, syrup etc. Others want to process to garri and sell as finished product. Each farmer must choose the variety they need to plant. Second is patience. The farmer needs to know the number of months it takes for the cassava to mature. I have seen farmers harvest cassava that should last for 18 months in their 7th month hence the yield is good but way below expectations. The tubers are there, sometimes as many as 10 to 15 but are not big enough so this affects the revenue. We need patience.

Cassava is a defence crop for the farmer. Sometimes we get it all wrong and lose a lot of money on tomatoes, pepper, vegetables, etc but it is not common to get it wrong with cassava. Natural rain is sufficient. Cassava diseases are not as common as before as we now have resistant stems etc.
Very insightful. Please how do I contact you?
