Running for a second term is not a birthright.

1. Lots of snail-paced projects causing traffic all around. Start multiple projects but complete none.
2. Lagos is at it's all time dirtiest in recent times thanks to LAWMA scrapping.
3. The only visible achievement is building busstop and lay-bye whicj is pathetically celebrated in the media.
4. All internal roads r in shambles. New ones r not built, old ones he met r never repaired

Perhaps Ambode shd tell us exactly what he has achieved aside paying salaries, n let d people judge. A state with much potential achieving nothing.

And you think you are making sense.
I pity you.

You can put Nigeria beside any country you like.

buharitill2023:
nobody is dying in osun state,
The governor was sincere enough to let the workers and pensioner know what the problem is.
And the workers judiciously agree on this arrangement,
That a man that supposed to receive 150,000-200,000 naira will now received 75,000-100,000 naira, is that not fair enough, while a man that supposed to received 18000- 40,000 received full payment. So where did you see dying? 34 months 50% arrear is not salary.
As you can confirm, he is not owing salary.

God will punish anybody that says Aregbeshola is not owing salaries.

yns4real:
How many month outstanding salaries did your hero in Ekiti pay before the election?

Does it make it right?

LadySarah:
I know blame game won't work here but she isn't supposed to be outside without guidance or a means of identification.

She will come home,beautiful woman in Jesus name,Amen.

AMEN!

By the way, is this the person a lot of stupid Nigerians follow on social media ? Simple sentence she/he/it can't put together.

We are in soup with the set of people we call youths.

MissJoy29:
I just hope this writing will be able to adequately capture my frustration, disappointment & dissatisfaction with the Nigeria Medical Doctors in particular & the Health sector in general.
I also apologise in advance for the long post.

For as long as I can remember, I have always been sceptical about going to hospitals. The attitude of the health workers there are nothing to write home about. Both the private and the public hospitals. Even though I still believe that public hospitals are far better than the private hospitals(especially the average ones) in terms of quality service(although you run the risk of dying before you are attended to due to how slow they are).

There are so many anomalies in our hospitals. I have seen & heard really bizzare stuffs going on. From the nonchalant, impatient and highly unprofessional attitude of the attendants, the unhealthy environment, the cranky and harsh attitude of the nurses, the fact that there's also "who you know mentality" when lives are at stake, the subtle way they bill you unnecessarily by paying for almost everything you do in the hospital(consultation fee, file retrieval fee, unit fee, buying of this & that for your treatment that you will end up leaving for them), the lack of medical equipment, the walking up & down paying for one thing or another at different times(even when you are not fit)instead of paying at once,the number of unqualified & seasoned doctors, the location of a hospital's laboratory on the last floor of a three-storey building(like, who does that!!!!), the high cost of drugs and other medical supplies in the hospital's pharmacy as opposed to their cost outside etc.

But I have a particular area I want to focus on.

THE ATTITUDE OF THE NIGERIAN DOCTOR
This thread was born out of my experiences this week at a teaching hospital. These experiences brought back all the others I have had to push to the back of my mind a long time ago for lack of an appropriate channel to express them. For the purpose of this thread, I'm going to use my experiences at ABSUTH (Abia State Teaching Hospital), LASUTH (Lagos State Teaching Hospital), LUTH (Lagos University Teaching Hospital), National Orthopaedic Hospital Igbobi & few private hospitals as yardsticks to buttress my grievances. I'm also going to put into consideration, the attitude of my close friends who are medical personnels.

Note: I'm not here to compare hospitals. I'm only using them to show that the attitudes of the doctors I met there may actually be same(or at least, almost same) with all of them in the country.

Firstly, if I have met 15 medical doctors, only 1 turned out to be sympathetic and humane. Apart from my family doctors and this sympathetic doctor, I don't think I will ever recognise any of the doctors I have seen again. But after 5 years or so, I still recognised him when I saw him again recently at same hospital(and I have memory problems) Why? He was probably the first doctor I ever saw who actually listened cos they WANT TO not cos they HAVE TO. There's a big difference. Most of them just hear you. They don't listen & they don't allow you talk. That's why they ask you questions based on what THEY THINK you feel & not on what you KNOW you feel.

Secondly, these doctors (except my humane doctor) make it look as if they are doing you a favour when they tell you about your ailment. It's as if they want you to pay consultation fees before they explain in details what you are passing through. What am I saying? One actually told me that! Inasmuch as I think majority of them don't actually know their profession that well, I still wonder why they choose to withhold & hoard information. It's bad enough they don't tell on their own without being asked. But it's even worse they withhold when asked. I have recurring ear ache that comes like every 2 years. This time around I asked the doctor (on the advice of a friend) what the cause of the problem is so I can avoid it. And he opened his mouth & said to me, "get solution first. What do you need the cause for? I was stunned to say the least!
Thirdly, they are always very harsh & impatient. You come in to a doctor's office, 30 seconds later, you are out with a piece of paper filled with their illegible writing just cos they are more concerned with what they are scribbling based on what they THINK you are going through than on what you are actually saying. They are hurrying to see as many patients as possible to collect as much money from them as possible and also to go to their private clinics. So no adequate time allocated to a patient.

Again, because of the attitude of some of these doctors, I'm really not surprised why I detest private hospitals because majorly, they are still the ones that establish it. The main reason why I hardly go to private hospitals is because I don't understand why someone will be, say an E.N.T doctor in a public hospital, but will end up being a GENERAL practitioner in his/her private hospital. They are now automatic Ob/gyn, optometrist, dentists, surgeons, paediatricians etc. I can't count the number of times they have mistreated cases they are supposed to refer to specialists like professionals do.

After venting like this, I'd like to hear from the house. Knowing that people in the medical profession are supposed to be warm, humane, sympathetic, kind, friendly, patient, a listener, polite, knowledgeable, seasoned, capable etc, why then do you think most Nigerian medical doctors are cold, nonchalant, impatient, unkind, hard, rude, condescending? Is it because that's who they are normally or are there some things in the sector and/or in the training process that turn & change them into the aforementioned? Doctors in the house & non-doctors like me, over to you.

My sister had a near death experience with her baby at one of these private hospitals. She had just birthed a baby and she discovered that the baby's eyes were yellow and that it wasn't breathing normally which she reported to the Doctor. Then the Doctor told her it wasn't something serious so she was discharged a few days later. On getting home she discovered the yellowy eyes weren't subsiding and the breathing would not normalize, she was told to come back. When she went back she was told the baby had a hole in the heart and that they thought it would close up itself.
They had to fly the baby to India for surgery.
I'm not saying it was their fault the baby had a hole in the heart but they wanted to make profit at the detriment of people's lives. Of course they went back to the hospital and were billed separately from the previous consultation.

Amarabae:
Having gone through your post, I really don't see how the doctors you met offended you,
You came for treatment to be well and not for an interview class with the doc, there are crowd waiting also to be attended to.
If he diagnose you, you have a phone, when you get home, you browse about the issue.
Simple.
You should not be in hospital to count which health professional laughed with you, you should be there to get help and go

Please try reasoning before commenting, it helps a lot. Thanks.

Great. Bye. But keep minding ya business o. Do your thing make i do my own. The space is enough to accommodate us all.

Bros, the last time I checked you weren't minding your business when you quoted that guy. Next time try removing the log on your eye before removing other's.
Case closed.

luvinhubby:
So he had this money all this while and was paying the workers half salary while diverting the rest of the money to Asiwaju & his cronies.
Only to do so now one month to the election to confuse the masses. Wicked Nigerian politicians.



Useless party, useless people.

I was thinking the same o, unfortunately the electorates are gullible.

Corrinthians:
Are you from Osun? Are you a civil servant in Osun? Why are you bothered or upset about it?

Must he be? People like you are part of Nigeria's problem.

GAJIT:
you got my message wrongly. I said let messi try a new adventure, i don't care the stars that may be there, that will make things even more difficult for him, because they'll try to prove their worth. Ok, let messi come to R. Madrid and make cr7's record there, and let cr7 come to barca and see how he'd smash messi's record easily.

CR7 is a G.O.A.T (Greates Of All Time), while Messi is a S.P.I.D.E.R. (Spain's Proud Indegenious Dormicile Espanyol Resident). Gud9t.

Any which way, haters gonna hate. They are both making money and you guys are hating over your 10Mb data.

Also, on the other game I mentioned Argentina.... I knew what I was doing due to bet 9ja boys .
