I respectfully disagree with you. It's not surprising that men see women who advocate for equality as being hateful but if we keep sentiments aside, feminism is an English word, it has a definition and hating men isn't part of it. Please, do not get me wrong, there are women who really hate men. And they might even call themselves feminists but we aren't going to change the definition of feminism for these women, are we? If we do that, it would be a conscious and opportunistic attempt on our part to undermine the true goal of feminism. There's a name for hating men and that is misandry. Call them out.

Feminism is not a group where you sign up to join. It's a mindset and many people with that mindset don't even come out to say "we are feminists". You see it when they talk or act. So as an educated mind, it's up to you to decipher if someone is a feminist or a misandrist instead of putting them in the same box. Feminism is what it is and misandry is another thing. So when you see a misandrist, call her by that name regardless of what she chooses to call herself. Tell a misandrist who calls herself a feminist that she's being delusional cause feminism doesn't encourage what she does. That's the essence of education.

thanks. I have no reason to disagree with you. I think you are right

HuntSon:
Why do you think feminists are women who don't want anything to do with men or lesbians?? why so insecure?

well, kemi olunloyo that started this thread makes it look.like getting married is against her own form of feminism. Therefore, we can say that feminism like religion has different doctrines and chief among them is the desire to do without men. As per insecurity, who cares? I have too many wonderful women around me to be bothered about few frustrated ones who hide under the canopy of feminism to cover up their frustration.

HuntSon:
LMAO stop attaching too much importance to yourself bruh. "No woman can be fufilled without a husband", is it crack?
Do you even know the meaning of feminism??

What is feminism? Cover up for frustrated women..That was how Linda ikeji was busy shouting feminism all over the internet while begging one guy secretly to wife her. This same aunty kemi even told us linda had to steal the sperm of the guy to make her baby. Feminism my foot

I go bend if you've seen ebute meta. Not with your mentality.

I get your time. That is science centre with kids their age discussing mechanical engineering...robots at early stages

banmee:
Lol....notoriously rough pitch...LWKMD. For tennis? Dude, I can imagine the hell your kids will go through all in the name of parenting.

My kids have been to all the continent in the world except Australia and if not for Covid, they would have been there. Little visa that you have you won't allow us hear words. You may even be in South Africa self. My kids were in china last November just before COVID, they saw a lot of Chinese kids designing at very early stages. I took them to science centre in Guangzhou to see robots designed for kids. They all start early. Stay there and be shouting slavery with nothing in your pocket

Beey:
Let the little kid enjoy his childhood. Let him go out & play with his mates. It’s not as if he has to start laying bills tomorrow. I understand that the parents are trying to instill the spirit. Of hard work. However, in life we have seasons. This is his time to be a child.When he becomes a teenager, he can start learning. Sorry if I offend some people with my opinion but, I don’t like this. Child labor. It’s abuse in the name of teaching.

This will only make sense if you stop schooling all together. Let them stop schooling so they can play very well and enjoy their childhood. This is a form of schooling. That he is wearing dirty cloths doesn't mean he will be abused neither does it mean he will be carrying engine. As long as he is not doing anything that is physically exhausting for his age, this is not different from.schooling

banmee:
Again, you comparing what the Williams parents did for their kids to this? Haba bros. All I can say is, just because you are a Nigerian does not mean you have to think like one. You can break the chains. Its very possible.

he trained them on a notoriously rough pitch at the age of four....what is the difference? Oversabi

banmee:
You are comparing this to taking ones child for recreation which hopefully some day that child will benefit from it. Again, you are a Nigerian. Try this crap in a normal, (emphasis on normal) country and see what happens to you. You people are so used to rubbish to the point where it is now normal. And worse is you find everything under the sun to justify it.

you think swimming is recreation to OYINBO? I am talking about people that took it very seriously with the hope their children will one day become Olympic hero. Go and ask Serena and Venus Williams. Their daddy put them on a hefty tennis playing schedule from tender ages. How many countries have you been to that you are making mouth about Nigerians? Are you not a Nigerian? Once they grant you one small visa you no go allow us hear word.

banmee:
Seriously? At 6 years old? Really? Do we really have to explain this to you? Why am I surprised? It's Nigeria.

there is nothing to explain. Most great people started early. OYINBO that will take 5months old to swim. This is not child abuse. People like you will be the first to hail the child when he starts going places but you harbor the sacrifices needed to get there. The boy won't do more than what his physical capacity can take and he will keep learning in the process. It is the same thing as schooling

amaifehenry:
On the contrary bro, it’s real and not a comedy. That it’s funny doesn’t make it a comedy bro. Peace!

Not true. That is a comedian on Instagram. It is not real. It is comedy. You still added fake story to back it up. That is not nice. Always confirm news before posting it. Some people rely on Nairaland for news

Rubbish. Why are you posting fake news? This is comedy now. Say it is comedy instead of trying to push it across like it happened in real life

Sorry to say this, most of them are quacks, thieves, scammers and deceivers.
I cant relate the negative experiences I have had with them. Thank God for everything shall.

I will strongly advise you to stop visiting them. Use herbs.

Odoogu:
in summary, it's not a very easy thing to do, like its kinda complex and not very plain.
isn't there any form of "standard" approval procedures b4 a "building" can be certified a hospital?
And it also shows that many specialist hospitals operate within same stream.

You are very correct. That should be the norm. In Australia for example, call 000 and the ambulance is there. The ambulance operating in that area already knows the closest hospital that can handle it and they would have pre informed them. Meanwhile, the ambulance will come with paramedics prepared with ventilator, drips, blood in the ambulance for onward care on the way to the hospital. REMEMBER THEY DONT NEED TO PAY AND THE DOCTOR IS NOT BEARING ANY COST SO MONEY IS NOT EVEN AN ISSUE. Even at the site of the accident, people would most likely call 000. They won't take the victim to a hospital that will reject them because you can't blame the hospital who can't handle it. THE BOTTOM LINE IS THIS....BLAME BUHARI

NB... certifying the hospital alone is not enough. Hospitals are in levels all over the world. We have primary centres, secondary centres, tertiary centres. They are all hospitals but operate at different levels. We need good referral systems which can only be facilitated by BUHARI @Kokaine

Odoogu:
okay.
dies this seem like it may be very difficult for "many hospitals" to achieve right?

your honest professional opinion.

Honestly, even in advanced countries, it is meant for tertiary centres. It usually requires a multi disciplinary approach under normal settings. For example, let us assume the spleen is bleeding from gun shot wound, that requires immediate surgery by a surgeon and obviously an anesthesiologist is needed. It may be the lungs that is bleeding, you need a thoracic surgeon immediately. Even if the patient don't need more than chest tubes, you still need to be in a centre that can mobilise resources in a short time in case the bleeding from the lungs is not subsiding or there is persistence of say hemopneumothorax. The immediate condition alone doesn't matter. If the condition of the patient starts deteriorating suddenly, you need to be monitored in a tertiary centre that can immediately mobilise resources. Don't forget also that in Nigeria , we pay at the point of service. So, if the patient requires immediate surgery, ten pints of blood or more, assisted ventilation etc, do you honestly believe the private hospital can quickly afford to call a surgeon, an anesthesiologist at a very high cost and buy ten pints of blood for patients at their own cost assuming the hospital can even quickly mobilise such. If they ask for deposit won't you shout? Don't forget the patient may need a quick ultrasound/CT scan to delineate the site of intra abdominal bleeding for example before moving the patient to theatre meaning you also need a radiologist. Nigerians don't appreciate the complexity of medicine. They equate a big building to a hospital and once the hospital refers them they become aggressive saying you must do something. It is not straightforward.

Odoogu:
Are you insinuating that every report that has been published about a hospital rejecting victims of gunshot wounds were distorted?

and it seems like you know about the medical profession...
what do you think is the standard requirement needed to extract a bullet from a person?

Unless the bullet is impacted close to a vital organ, removing the bullet is not the immediate priority. The first thing is the hemodynamic stability of the patient. The patient may need an immediate surgery but usually not because the bullet must be extracted. The surgery may be needed to repair bleeding vessels, intestines etc and in the process the bullet may be extracted if it is not dangerous doing so at that time. However, removing the bullet is not the priority. The patient may need blood transfusion, enough drips, assisted ventilation, arrest of bleeding in the acute stage. Ordinarily, a gun shot is a case for tertiary centres abinitio. Meanwhile, prior to the law that authorized hospitals to treat patients without doctors report, it was a common scenario asking for a police report ( sometimes they used it as an excuse to discharge patient rather than telling them they can't handle it or that the patient is dead already), however since they enacted the law, no doctor is foolish enough to use it as an excuse. That is what I am trying to infer.

Odoogu:
you are not "every" doctor and you certainly don't work in "every" hospital.
it is a "cliche" in Nigeria.
whatever reasons they might have I repeat, it wasn't stated other than the need for a police report.
and what do I have to gain with your balls, please keep them.

No problem then. You believed the report from a journalist who is just interested in sensational news to gather traffic and you insist on crucifying hospitals and doctors. Every single doctor knows you can now treat a patient without police report in Nigeria because it is now a law so which doctor will now tell you I won't treat for police report. All those reports you were hearing were distorted. However, as a typical Nigerian with a mindset, you will want to insist it is true. General hospital Ota should be closed for not attending to the patient. Now you are happy.

Odoogu:
in accordance to the incident report, the deceased was rejected at Merit Hospital for lack of "police report". if there were other issues as it concerns Merit's actions, it wasn't stated.
we know every hospitals are of different capabilities, but the narrative of rejecting gunshot wounds for lack of police report, sounds like a broken record we all tired of. let other professional reasons be given that won't have to make lives seem worthless.

so why did GENERAL HOSPITAL SENT HIM AWAY TOO? You think doctors are foolish? No doctor will tell you they are rejecting him for police report. They will tell you to take him to general hospital. I can bet my balls that is exactly what happened. They may ask for police report because when police start their investigation, they will still come and ask you about the case and you can just tell them you asked them to take him.to general hospital and you asked for report at that time but they had none yet. On the day Barca was defeated, a drunk guy hit five guys critically. They brought the five to us without any report. The police at the site refused to help the people transport the victims. They wanted to tow the vehicle since the guy had escaped and police knew that was the only way to trace him so rather than help the victims they didn't. Four were deeply unconscious and we asked them to move them to GH they were begging. We accepted two, two died and one was eventually moved. One just came out of coma about two days ago. We did that because we had the capability to treat....they were rejected by two other hospitals but I also know those hospitals couldn't handle it. No doctor...I repeat....no doctor will categorically tell you I am rejecting you for lack of police report. It is a lie

Nchenches:
The so-called Merit Hospital must be closed down immediately. Whoever was the doctor that refused to treat the injured person did not adhere to hypocratic oath he swore to.
What sort of USELESS POLICE ORDER would stop a true doctor from treating a patient with bullet wound?
A true police officer knows that if a wounded armed robbery suspect is saved from dying, he shall help the police to fish out accomplices of the robber and mode of operations of robbers.

You guys don't know how to read in between. They took him first to MERIT hospital which you want to be closed and then GENERAL HOSPITAL TOO....Why not close the general hospital who referred him to another one too? Nigerians usually misinterpret referral to rejection. The so called MERIT obviously did not have the capability to handle it. All they needed to do at most was just set up a drip like normal saline and then REFER. In the process, they may ask for POLICE REPORT but that doesn't mean they are referring for lack of police report. For you to know how critical the case was....the general hospital too REFERRED TO ANOTHER GENERAL HOSPITAL. It means the case was meant for a tertiary centre probably with CRITICAL CARE UNIT. The problem we have is the referral system which you can blame on govt. There should be free ambulance services that anyone can call that will take them to appropriate centres. You present a bad case to a glorified clinic and they ask you to go to general hospital, you will start blaming them that they rejected you. What should they do? They can't handle it....it is not the same thing as rejection. However when patient are reporting it, they will term it rejection because you asked them to take him to general hospital. They will keep saying....help us to attend to him now.

If your party of destruction and looters that took our nation 100 years back were ruling the nation well, no one will ever vote them out.

tushqueen:
Congratulations helpee! Feels good to know that your band was upgraded. Congrats brother!

For those asking (I don't know how to tag names on NL, I will be glad if anyone is Willi g to guide me), I registered with bother BC and IDP. I initially registered with BC to write my exam on 20the June but I received a cancelation mail from them due to COVID scare. So I requested for a refund and immediately registered with IDP so as to meet up with JUne 20 cos I needed the result urgently.

The materials that really helped me; I wasn't able to download Cambridge resources though I heard they are great. I used IELTS Liz website, and future learn to understand the 4 sections. Learnt about question techniques and practiced. I also subscribed to daily listening practice on YouTube and this helped me a lot in my listening section.

All the best guys!

Thanks

MERCHANDISER:
what steps did you take

Nothing. Mine was Academic though. The very day I got the result was the day I posted about it here. Since I got encouragement here, I applied for EOR same day. From the information I gathered online, you have a good chance if you need upgrade in speaking and /or writing since both are subjective. Rarely will you get an upgrade in listening and reading. Also, if you don't need more than 0.5, you stand a good chance. I actually needed an upgrade from.6.5 to 7.0 and I was lucky, they added one full band instead of 0.5. Go online to download the EOR form. Complete the forms and upload evidence of payment. That's all

MERCHANDISER:
Did you request for test re-marking?
how come they increase Ur writing test result?

Yes

helpee:
Over confidence killed me but I think I will have to request for a remark. Although, I only studied on YouTube for two days. I thought I spent all my life speaking English. I only practiced the listening on YouTube. I did close to 15 examples within two days. I never did writing...that is my strong point ! I always write things so ? Speaking is my hubby so I never ever practiced that. I did two readings online and I felt comfortable so within just two days, I went for the exam. However, I presently need 7 all round. My result came yesterday. I wasn't even expecting to have problem with writing but I was shocked. LRWS is 7.5, 8.5, 6.5, 7.5. With that writing, the whole show is spoilt but I felt that was my strong point. I want to know...what are my chances with re marking? I know I am a good writer but I am scared maybe there is a specific format they use that I don't know about since I didn't even write a single article before the exam. I just read the question type. I am suspecting task 1. I definitely shouldn't have problem with task 2

. I got mail today. I just checked online. They added one band to my writing. To God be the glory. IELTS sorted.

Joy83:
You don't have to be depressed. Celebrate your small wins. You really try for getting such scores with 2 days practise and no detailed practice for speaking and writing.
We are proud of you.

Cheers!

you are a darling. You encouraged me to go for remarking and guess what, I got this mail today. The fact that they are refunding my 15k is enough to show they have increased my band in either speaking or reading. I just pray it is reading. I will collect it tommorrow or next. Thanks once again
NB. I just checked it online. They added one band to my writing.

Joy83:
Go for the remark to clear your doubt. I'm optimistic the writing will change.

When you apply for remark, tick both writing and speaking.

Good luck!

Whaoh! Thank you for the courage. You made my day. My wife actually told me to go for remark but I said I will confirm online first. Thanks for the encouragement. I've been so depressed since yesterday. I will do it
