Penboy:
Men, Bro's please show me the way o.
I need to start taking PLAB or USMLE seriously.

I think you should, except your folks are rich... Then you can own your business.

PLAB is the fastest route-- and cheaper.

US however is where the 'biggest' bucks is.
(But in the UK, your tax is put to good use-- health, education and all!)

But who says you can't have both?

Once you get out and oyinbo breeze blows your head small, you will automatically know what to do-- gbe body e!

chrisxxx:
I am working towards there. The best place for anyone to work for himself.

Nice to hear, I will be in the lookout for young, bright engineers and I will contact you

chrisxxx:
If you want job let me know. I am in need of Engineers. You can send your CV to me. I base in PH and work with an oil servicing company. I started as a trainee 9 years ago , today I am a manager for four years.

Come on! Who says I need a job?
If you become the MD, nobody will rest again.

You have done good for yourself, hope you are aspiring to be more.

chrisxxx:
Who are NEPA? Electrical Engineers.

Carry your sef comot Oga.

Do something with your degree and stop whinging!

ornicus:
you are the typical nigerian who expects doctors to treat you for free because their reward is in heaven

continue. i hope for your sake you are rich, because the brain drain is back. doctors are not waiting around for the mercies of ungrateful nigerians

now back to the point that completely flew over your head.

every profession has industries or niches where its practiononers are well paid.

instead of whining about civil service, find an industry where you are a prime driver

an engineering firm has accountants, drivers, engineers, drafters, it guys. who do you think are the best paid people in the office?
an oil company has an it dept, a clinic, engineering departments, safety. who do you think are the best paid?
a bank has facilities management, it, different banking units, security dept. who is the best paid

when i was younger, people would say - don't do this profession it does not pay, that profession does not pay and so on
one of my dad's friends was warning me against architecture. in my second job, i was in the construction design industry and i met architects absolutely killing it.

pull yourself together and get yourself into an industry where your profession pays. or you can sit on your butt whining about entry level wage gasps

You killed it bro!

People fighting over Level 8 or 12...
How much are they even paying?

I know a woman who makes a killing on her laptop.

She is so much in high demand, she turns down jobs-- makes about 3 mil a month (on her laptop, mostly on her living room couch)

Her certificate is never mentioned, it's what she can do... and she can do a lot!

Nobody demands respect in life, it is earned!

If society places value on some professions more than others, there is a reason for it-- they produce 'value'

What other people need to do is produce value and pronto you become envied. If not continue whining, OYO is your case

chrisxxx:
I agree with you. The Nigerian society values doctors more than engineers. If there is no light everybody knows whose fault it is. Everybody blames the engineer not minding his constraints.
It is not so in medicine. If a patient dies it is not their fault but the will of God. Can you see the difference?

If there is no light, we blame NEPA!

babyfaceafrica:
na lie..make we. leave am

You ever did a 13 month class, with no break?

bryanyaouh581:
Guy..oil dey ur head bro....
u get sense...na the problem wey naija pipu dey face be that...
what of those that travel out for just medical check ups....they don't dare go to Nigerian doctors...
they themselves know was up even the politicians know... na people wey no know go they argue am here...outside nurses are more Important n paid more than doctors..cos they offer their time and care n energy more than doctors there....even a horticulturist gets cute money there and taken important abroad sef....but Nigeria here...they talk of doctors...shit

Nurses are paid more? Wawuu!
You must live in some alternate universe.

franchasng:
without engineering and technology, medical profession is as good as a dead corpse; who made the tetescope, the test tubes, the thermometer, the BP apparatus, the equipments you use to carry out diagnosis and operations

Its just that Nigeria is a messed nation with zero engineering innovation and contribution, because in more advanced nations, some engineering courses get more respect and pay than medical practitioners like docs.

Have you heard of biomedical engineering Robotics, etc

With the new 5G internet network now, you can perform any medical operation from even another continent without being there physically, who made it possible Engineering and technology!!!

For your info, research is on going to bring new innovation into medical practice that will create artificial doctors using AI and other high tech engineering and technology innovations, and if this breaks through, lots of doctors will be rendered jobless by engineering and technology.

All these macho amd superior formings by doctors happen mostly in Nigeria and 3rd world nations.

What have you made?

asuustrike1:
So how was their question like was it easy,difficult or ok?

Just O.K.
Nothing to it.

Every exam, has a format, even the supposed most difficult ones.
If you can decode it, smiles all the way!
That's why some have said exams are not the truest test!

Deepthoughts:
Still na wa for you,ok perhaps our break through will come in five centuries to come, shikena!.

What breakthrough are you talking about?

If you are a student of science, maybe you will understand what I was trying to say.

Deepthoughts:
Hahahahaaaaaaah!,oh boy na wa for you ooh!,so they don't have to make even one breakthrough!,ok I hear you,thank God me I no break any record.

Oga, what exactly are you trying to say?

Nigerians are doing well in IT,Medicine, Law... if you decide to be blind to that, its your business.
Mind you scientific breakthroughs sometimes take decades or centuries.

Bill Gate's IQ is not higher than (say) Newton's because one makes Computer programmes and one observed apples. Breakthroughs take concerted effort. Years and years of little efforts by different people-- a light bulb here, a capacitor here, a teacher here, a calculator here, a book there... until you get that "magnificent breakthrough'' you want to see.

Every scientific breakthrough rides on the wings of several unknown others before it.

Kingkun69:
everyone passes foreign exams it's collecting high scores that is palava
OK is jamb hard again? No it's stupidly easy
But students fail because of not reading or from jamb itself so basically suffering does not make u smart

I was trying to be modest, the foreign exams have been moin-moin.
US o, UK o, boys have been blasting it!

I don't understand the Jamb rationale? If you ace your courses in spite of suffering, you will obviously do better in more favourable conditions.

If you have experienced both sides of the divide, then you can objectively say Nigerians are not so smart.
But if you have not...

I will say again, Nigerians are soooo smart!


P.S-- the foreign exams I wrote were Professional exams, undergraduate exams are undergraduate exams.

Kingkun69:
suffering with no adequate equipment in naija schools doesn't make a person smart

When Nigerians go school abroad, they more often than not do well, and I mean very well.
The same Nigerians that struggled in Nigeria... I know people that even failed out of a Nigerian University and became stellar abroad.

to survive the sordid conditions and pass, requires mental toughness and ingenuity ( smartness).

By the way, I have written foreign ( qualifying) exams and they were not even as tough as exams I wrote as an undergraduate... and I was not the smartest.

Deepthoughts:
The stories of Nigerians breaking all sort of academic records in various universities around the world has been on for a long time,but after all this while what has been the end results?, I'm sure if a research is to be carry out to find the break throughs achieve by their mates,the results will be astounding!, personally I just believe that we blacks generally are only good at cramming n assimilations just to pass exams in flying colors but poor in critical n original thought process in relation to our acquired knowledge,or perhaps there is mystical powers beyond ordinary education to the mind blowing breakthroughs been achieve by the whites.

Tell the Yahoo boys they are ''poor in critical and original thought process''
E be like say you never jam!

Okuda:
all of una talking rubbish dont know what it means stydying abroad. should education that is already stressful in its own ramification add additional stress that can be done away with? in Nigeria you can settle, you can cut corners with the system abroad you cant. if the total mark to pass an exam is 6, you are expected to get a minimum of 4 before you can pass. anything before is FAIL. i mean look at it, a little above 3 in this instance should be a pass right? 3, 3.1 and above but there its not. 4 which is above average. of which to them a 4 is a bad score.

you would be bombarded with assignments and presentations, there is no escaping it that you give it out to someone to do or you copy and paste. you would fail woefully. you are expected to know it. if you dont know it, you would be very terrible with yourself because you cannot escape interactive sessions in class where people may be paired in groups and ideas are thrown around. Abroad, you cannot separate school and normal life. school, learning and studying is normal life till the end of the semester because assignments, papers, group work, presentations keeps you always studying or feeling guilty for not studying or beimg nervous and scared all the time . In Nigeria, the only time people are in full school mode is during exams or tests. infact you can afford to miss lectures and be out of school mode till whenevrr you feel like.

Abroad, your lecturer knows you all in class, knows the weak amd strong ones, the omes to always throw questions at to put them on their toes all the time. You are in class the whole day. basically. sometimes from 8am to 4 or 5pm with 15 mims break at every hour then a major break by mid day.so you see my friend, the suffering yall are suffering in your "nigerian university" is not education related, rather its just punishment or should i say "an appendage" of the general suffering attached with being and living in nigeria mixed with your education. Dont think they have it easy there. its equally as tough, if not tougher.

Oga, if its tougher abroad, Nigerians will not be breaking records like cabin biscuit!

simplesearch:
Not true at all, US is an already established Nation while China is still a growing Nation. The two are mile apart in attainment, although sharing close proximity in some areas and of course having same destination in mind. US are no longer bugged with this kind of whimsical teddy bear's technology that can only compete for award in kids category, they have passed that stage long ago with less fanfare. Do you want to compare the technology behind a boeing aircraft to this one?

Even one of the CNN guys said China is 10 years ahead now.
If the US is not threatened, what's the reason for the sudden aggression against them.

Kavod:
I have seen it countless times, you know what meet an active naija police man in anti robbery and ask him how many times he has shot an armed robber and nothing happened.
Have you heard about this town Jesse close to sapele? Go there and watch with your eyes,

Even Nigerian Soldiers believe in it!

I was there once when a soldier was supposed to get an injection... He laughed and said, 'oga e no go enter!'

Then he mentioned one village somewhere in Oyo, ' na dia my Godfather carry me go do am'

When they start regaling their war stories, your mouth will open.

Why it works for some and not for others I don't know, but I have seen some one slashed with a cutlass and nothing happened!

CanadaOrBust:
I think that’s where saynotocultism blew it. If any such thing even remotely exists constantly warring countries like US would have connected it long ago or be willing to pay billions s 4 it

If by 'strong' meditation, Qigong practitioners become protected from spear and knife attacks, anything can happen.

I have seen it once myself-- in secondary school. A class mate was attacked with a cutlass and nothing happened.

His arm just swelled up and went down again

Ronaldo might be a most wonderful footballer, but who does this?!

Crap!

...and several others are wasting away in Nigeria!

essenceplus:
That's before Rinaldo started breaking records upon records.

The envy has obvious nah haba. Don't say you don't know.

Let's both reason it out, why is Ramos taking the fallout between Cr7 and the clubs president personal? Na Ramos him offend?

Who was the first to say Madrid won't miss anyone after Cr7 left?

Who was the first to start throwing jabs at Ronaldo not more than once since he left.

Are these not obvious signs of an envious person. Better dictect your frenemies fast or knownhow they operate before they get to you first.


If Barca players would be at the event then why would a whole Ronaldo be left out.Did Ronaldo do him any wrong?

Also, his attempt to wipe Ronaldo off the earth like he never existed and off the club's legends books would fail because doing that would wipe his own history too. Too bad the snake didn't think about that.

Ronaldo had to be 'babied' in Real-- always had to be made happy.
They had to always say good things about him in the Media even when they didn't really like his personality ( that was the rule).
He had very few friends amongst his team-mates.

When he left Ramos felt he now hard the 'freedom' to then talk as he really felt.

It seemed infantile, all those jibes, he could have manned up an not develop mouth diarrhoea... But what's my business!

ibkayee:
Not everyone governs their lives by the bible

Also, when someone is being appointed as the the ‘head’, that’s not a ‘partnership’, it’s a hierarchy. And that’s ok, if that’s what both people want, if you like it for yourselves, I love it

Sorry about the Bible reference...

Have you lead a team before, have you ever been a head of anything? Did it mean you were superior to your colleagues or you were the most "responsible'' for any happenings?

I have lead teams of people older and younger and nothing changed. We were teammates, partners and we helped one another.

But whatever works for you luv, cheers!

poksmahn:
I recently started a business about two weeks ago and because of my schedule, i hired someone to manage it for me. Can't be at two places at once. So, I hired a lanky teenager that radiates humility and zeal for the job and since the business started, I have not been hitting the desired target. I was getting frustrated already but i kept consoling myself that maybe the word has not yet gone around about the business.

So yesterday, i decided to spend a whole day at the business and lo and behold, I made a lot of money that day. Obviously, the boy was eating my money. I have no problems with my staff taking money out for lunch but this guy was slashing my money by half. Imagine the greed! And I pay him above minimum wage and told him to take Sundays off. But the guy comes to work on Sundays and works till late. AT first, I was happy with his work ethic but now, i realize that this guy is working for his own half.

And he swore with his life that he's not eating my money. The next course of action is to fire him but how can i prevent this embezzlement from going on with the next guy I hire? The nature of business is a game lounge. I'll be grateful for any advice I can get here.

Build a you don't Bleep with me reputation.
The mafia has perfected the art-- use him as an example, let everyone know you are kind and ruthless ( at the same time) and watch as things fall into place!


























But be sure he is stealing o, or the thunder God will use and fire you, will fire your great-grand children too!

ibkayee:
If that’s what both you and your babe agree on, I respect it for your household tbh

That's the order of life.
The buck stops somewhere.

God did not question Eve, he questioned Adam!

A head should never lord it over people he is responsible for-- that's positional leadership, which is weak. He is supposed to lead. He is on the front-lines, he is the most responsible, the most caring, the most selfless, he sacrifices for those he is responsible for.

Any association where there is no assigned "head" is doomed.

Marriage is not a competition, its a partnership-- 2 people should be more effective than when they are single. 2 people working towards a common goal.

ibkayee:
Excluding the man being the head part
But they won’t hear

hahaha...

A man is a shield, a provider, a covering, a priest, a coach...

He has muscles ( without working out) for a reason, he can commit suicide when he looses his job for a reason, he is naturally bigger than the female for a reason.

He is the one most responsible for the successes or failure of the home-- God made it so.

As there is a head of department and captain of a team, a man is the head of the home.

How he interprets it depends on how much 'maturity' he has!

Dated a woman who was earning 5 times what I earned.

She was the kindest, smartest person I know.

Though her sanguine nature sometimes got on my nerves-- as she 'talks a lot,' she has the kindest heart!

Only girl I know who washed my underpants... Wakes me up with food, and constantly sends food to me at work ( even when outside the country).

We were not on the same level, at all, she was smarter than me and way more charismatic!

How did we gel?
I allowed her be herself, I was not intimidated about her successes, and constantly asked her to improve herself.
She had never done well with controlling people as she has an adventurous spirit, so I never sought to do so.

Every sane human being despises control, but wants to be lead. Our cultural evils have a lot centred on control-- Parent, Husband, Pastor, Boss, Politician... All thinking they are the all-in-all.

I say to such people, ' calm the Bleep down!, You are just a human being'

I however don't support abuse and arrogance from a woman and vice versa, if my wife changes to something else, I will leave her, no time for rubbish.

My father controlled my mum and she never realised her true potential-- her charisma, charm and talents all died because my dad was afraid.

I was trained to wash dishes, do house chores and I do so till date.

My woman won't end up looking like a hag due to overwork.

This is not me defending feminism though, a man is the head, he leads but doesn't rule!

PeachtreeReside:
Your links didn't open ...

You are the one who is being sentimental.


He shouldn't have tied her up in the car without a doctor's report, nurse in the car in the absence of an ambulance.

This is Nigeria where questions are asked later after one has been beaten to death or near coma.

That guy and his friend could have died for not doing what I suggested .

Yes, mental patients are restrained with ropes. But when transporting them without an ambulance like he did , one has to be careful .

That beating was not warranted and could be prevented.

Mental illness isn't like a life threatening disease that caution couldn't have been exercised for an hour more .


I'm.happy no lives were lost and I wish her recovery from her mental health issues.

Blame the lynching spirit!

No Doctor will right a medical report without seeing the patient, meaning they still would have had to transport her to hospital.
Even if they had, you think the mob in that state would hear.

About Ambulance forget that one, attempt calling an ambulance today.

It's the system and it almost ate them, it will still eat innocent people tomorrow

You know what, jungle justice will be meted out to you too today if someone you walk past, says you just stole his manhood-- you will be lynched!

Anyway, like I said, I conceed to you.

Cheers

PeachtreeReside:
She had been going for treatment at whichever hospital thru were taking her to, right ?

They could have used the hospital's ambulance .

Or in the absence of one, gotten a nurse, doctor's report or police report .


She was tied up with ropes like an animal .

Anyone seeing her as she was , won't be wrong to assume the worst of them.

I believe we should train our mindsets to think like a 1st class hums being or like sane people in sane climates do.


What you do becomes you eventually.

You are just being sentimental!

You never use sentiments when life is involved. What matters to you is how it looks or what is achieved or averted?

Someone suddenly believes her husband wants to use her for rituals, what will she do next?
What will you do if someone wants to kill you for rituals? Fight with anything possible-- be it a knife or a bottle or gun!

That was the woman's reality.

So you tell me the man found out his wife had relapsed and she started screaming and fighting him with whatever and you expect him to start looking for a police/doctors report?!

So if God forbid , you have a loved one who has a moment like that, you leave them and start looking for a report, so when you come back they have hurt themselves or broken free and killed a neighbour!

In Psychosis, what they experience is as real as what you are looking at right now.

So the man has enough common sense to restrain his wife and you think it's barbaric?!

Even if he called an ambulance (in a working country), first thing he will be told to do is restrain the person, lest a crime be committed. Restrain means restrain, tie down or hold down (if you can) that person!

In the hospital, unco-operative patients are restrained too-- bound hand and foot and or sedated. What matters most is they surviving.

If I were family and I had such a mental illness, your first impulse is to be looking for a report?! Come on!

Or you call a hospital and ask for an ambulance, to come and help catch me as I am running away.!

Or you decide to transport me to hospital with unbound hands so I can strangle you on third mainland bridge.

Physical restraint is used anywhere in the world for uncooperative patients, how it looks is not what matters, what is achieved is more important.

These videos show how restraint is done in a hospital setting lest kasala burst! If you still don't understand, then I accept you are right.
He should have looked for police report (in Alagbon) and dialled 911 for ambulance from LUTH.

PeachtreeReside:
Bro, where do you live that ambulances are unavailable or seem farfetched
A nurse nko?

Doctor's report explaining why they had to tie her up?

A police report would suffice too.

Come on.!

That husband and his brother escaped death by an inch.


Even so called educated Nigerians do things that beggars belief.

What number do you call for an ambulance where you live?

PeachtreeReside:
With how that guy was lynched, an ambulance wouldn't have been too much to get to prevent what he went through .


Our mindset needs to change . Not being in the abroad isn't enough reason to behave inhuman or animal like.




Let's start challenging the mindset of others by doing the right thing in decent ways

How do you call for an ambulance, what number?
When will it get to you, if it would?
My dear, if your loved one is dying (in Nigeria), carry him into any available vehicle and run to hospital!
