So no hope for us that didn't get to write the test because they did not send us mail.

Omo

I dey go their office on Monday like this, thank God e no far from my house

The whole stuff don't make sense


How did someone that scored 90 and 86 in their second test not get invited

jarx:
I did

Is it possible they will still invite others ?

I have a friend that applied for social works, her first test score wasn't so great (36) but her professional test score was 82. She didn't get an invite and I am wondering why

acunon:
60K plus 10K(Full kits)

Delivery to where?

Benue

acunon:
Yes, you can

Price of 1HP split +installation kits

Including delivery fee

acunon:
Haier Thermalcool 1.5HP Split going for 65K

Can I get 1HP of any good brand.

Another problem is my location

Benue State?

Update: after much pressure, he has agreed to sign a legal document to either refund my money in full in a months time or deliver my car.


Thanks for all the advise here, will keep everyone posted

noble71:
To be honest with you, your money don enter voice mail. Since October last, next thing he will say is that the Ship capsized in the high sea. Taking legal steps is not an easy one in Nigeria because before you will recover your money you would have spent 60% of the money.
For me I will go through EFCC.

Please what are the processes like with EFCC

Good morning,

I wish to share my story here for good advise.

I ordered a Camry sport car from Canada by October ending of 2019, through my brother and his friend who is based in Canada. I paid completely for it and was promised I would get it anything by December ending.

By December, I was told his container is yet to be filled up due to slow business by year end.

By January he promised me that I would get my car maximum March ending this year. The period was far for me but I had no option than to wait

By March ending, I was told COVID-19 lockdown didn't allow the shipment to move

By May ending I was told that the shipment have moved, but when I asked for the bill of laden I was told it was not yet available. Today makes it exactly a month after he claimed the shipment left Toronto but he is still saying the bill of laden is not ready.

This brings me to my questions;

1) Should I Sue him considering my brother is a middle man here or I should make my brother Sue him?. Problem here, my brother is unwilling to take legal action just yet.

2) does it take this long for someone to get their bill of laden ?


3) I checked online and I was told that the duration of shipment from Canada takes approximately 3 weeks after it sets sail. Is this true? and if it is not when should I expect it?

4) how long can I wait more?




This have cost me alot financially and this is draining me emotionally now. I don't know what to do and your advice will go a long way to help. Thanks you.

Rant to the highest heaven, but the employer always calls the shot for their company...


You can wait and keep posting nudes, surely one day an employer that doesn't care will employ you too or not....

thegoodone1234:
like how much?

like 100 thousand for father and a child...

Always get a DNA

married or not...

You should be very sure to avoid future heart aches...


DNA is not that expensive and the so called Trust can be costly sometimes ...

Taking a sample is also easy so you don't need mothers consent...

MissJoy29:
You have made some valid points.

I know it's not the fault of the doctor that the hospitals are under staffed and they have to see a lot of patients than they can handle but it's also certainly not the fault of the patients and it won't be fair to take out the frustrations on them even though I know the tendency to do that is there. The doctor is there to make the patient feel better not worse.

Btw, you want to report a medical doctor? To whom? The hospital management? Where will you even find them because it's likely no one will point the "management" to you as they want to protect their own. Even if they do, what will happen? This is Nigeria for goodness sake!

Again, the time spent with doctors that I'm talking about is not gisting time. You don't need the whole day to explain to the patient what is wrong, the causes, prevention and subsequently, treatment. I have the right to that information as a patient & anything other than that is unprofessional. Some nurses don't even know the name of the injection they are giving you. You ask, they ask you why you didn't ask the doctor. You get the chance to ask the doctor, they ask you why you want to know. Isn't the most important thing getting healed? Like seriously!

I want us to be objective here. My post wasn't made to attack anyone. It's to find out why things are the way they are.

The ones that are in our power to do, let's do it well.
Thank you.

For information sake if you go to the hospital just ask for the admin department and make your complaints...


I know a doctor that was once dismissed for misconduct...


But even if they don't get punished, doesn't mean we should not make complaint.. It's like not voting because you feel it would not count...


And like I said, the patient has the right to know everything and the doctor should always explain at least the basics in layman's terms and allay the fears of the patient if she wants to know....




Thanks for understanding



And it's good you speak out

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, harsh, 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.

From your post



1) it's wrong for a medical practitioner not to tell you about what's wrong, the possible cause and what the management entails and especially if the patient ask to know then the patient has that right to know..

You could report such doctor before leaving to the hospital management


2) About doctors been sympathetic I must tell you that is a personality issue and nothing justifies a doctor or any professional been harsh..



Now lemme make you look at it from a doctors perspective



1) about been a general practitioner in private clinic.


Just know this, most doctors are not consultants(specialist) and even at the teaching hospitals most times you meet residents( those training to be specialist) or house officers (interns)


If Nigerians want to see specialist alone then Nigerians
Would have to share a few thousand doctors who are hardly available


Cases are referred to specialist only when it's beyond the capabilities of the doctor seeing the patient



2) about the time the doctor spends with you, you should also consider the patient work load...
The USA have over a million doctors and similar number also for Canada and uk and this countries employ them and they still complain of workload etc

Most of this countries are now relaxing their immigration and examination procedures for doctors intending to come in and practice from abroad

Doctors in uk staged a work out because of workload sometime last year too


You could verify all this from google


Nigeria since inception graduated now a little under 100 thousand doctors with over half of this number practicing outside the country

good majority of the remaining half are either not employed because the federal government claims they can't pay even the meagre sum (compared to even other African countries) they are been paid, some are not practicing and into business, lecturing et al as they need to provide for their families and some are dead


So imagine coming to a clinic with over 100 patients waiting for you, and over 50 admitted for you to see and then you still have calls to do that night( meaning at closing time of 4pm you still stay to work till the next day 8am and resume normal duty, nothing like off for you) that would be like 32 straight working hours and some days without rest or sleep....


This are the plight of some doctors and that's why they sometime are in a hurry to see you, because they is another patient somewhere waiting






The medical structure in Nigeria is terrible and it's unfair that you make a post like this to vilify the health professionals alone


Also she'd light on the work load, the lack of equipment, the poor and irregular pay, poor management etc


Also The fact that Nigerians really can't afford an ideal health care ( compare prices to those outside the country)



That would make someone understand that it's not always as it seems


God bless you and hope you make a more Comprehensive post another time

Lols... Rubbish...

CarlosTheJackal:
?y friend okey has been engaged to his fiance for a year and he told me in confidence that he wasn't going to marry the lady because she is Old and he needs a 23 year old bride instead of his 34 year old fiance.

Okey bad mouths the lady anytime we hang out together to create a bad impression about her with me but when i go visiting, the things he tells me are different from what i see with the lady.


Last year the lady called me up to please help her talk to my friend use condom when sleeping with his other flings. The truth is that i know Okey side chic who is also my great pal because she is a good talker and she can analyse politics like Maupe Ogun.



Okey promised the fiance to marry her during the last Easter so the girl had inform her parents in the village that her fiance is coming for wine carrying but the truth was that Okey was doing wine carrying for his 23 year old bride with the loan he took from his fiance. For the record, Okey is an average guy with dough but he was cash strapped then so he took 300k loan from the fiance to travel with her to the village.


I was the only one that knew about the game being played out and i was seriously bothered because this lady has really sacrificed a lot for my guy. Treating the worst STDs and forcing him to do likewise, aborting a three month old baby after the guy lied to him that he was in a secret society so if he should have a baby now that he will die. (Sounds funny but my friend has a Nigeria Oscar for his theatrics)



When they got home he dropped the lady at her place and never bothered to bring the lady to come see his family. The lady do call me every time giving me detail of what's going on just like my friend calls me to tell me of how much convincing he is still doing to the family of his 23 year old student bride. I asked my friend what about his fiance and he said she is at her father's house that he has told her that he can't marry her.
I called the fiance to know if my friend is still coming and she said my friend will still show up.


Finally, my friend took the cloth the fiance made as uniform for their marriage rites and use it to go pay bride price for his 23 year old student bride. When he told me with joy that God he finally blessed him that after a lot of pressure against his marrying the 23 year old bride from her sisters that the girl's father finally agreed. I asked him what about his fiance and he said he won't tell her for now that he will just find a way to quarrel with her for the next three months then he will end it. It was then that i knew that my friend was evil and will throw anyone under the bus just for his selfish desire.



I just called the fiance and told her to forget about marriage with my friend that she should come back to Lagos to face her life because Okey is now married. She didn't believe it but when i took her through the emergency travels he makes to the East for one job or the other, the stories that i was used as an alibi to cover for him and others. The fiance was devastated and i told her to watch out for a quarrel before they will travel back. I told the lady not to be scared to tell the guy that i told her everything.

Today, my friend sees me as a Snitch and someone that couldn't keep the guys code. I told him that we are no longer those boys in school with useless code that everything we do now shapes our old age

Your friend is evil sha, and I won't say you did wrong telling her....


But u seemed too interested in his gist about the girl, calling him always to ask about the girl....


More like you were investigating to gather enough evidence to tell her the truth...


Never in your small narrative did you mention that you tried to correct him, or chastised him

Religion sha..

mhisbliss:
I came across a thread where a guy claimed he discovered his sister is a lesbian, some of the comments on that thread got me annoyed and amused, most of the comments were "She's born that way, its natural" i know that this comment is influenced by the western world but we're not like them, we have norms, culture and a way of life, and we're supposed to be who we are.

Theres no evidence anywhere to prove that homosexuality is natural, it cannot be genetically or biologically defined, theres no gene responsible for homosexuality, and nothing about the human anatomy suggests homosexuality is natural, if you examine the male and female sex organ you'd know that it is designed to complement each other, and to reproduce, both needs to work together, therefore by design, we're supposed to be heterosexual not homosexual,

Our culture frowns at it, it is clearly unafrican, abnormal and every religion frowns at it, including christianity
Romans 1:26–27 follows this same reasoning. Paul says that men abandoned the natural sexual function of women and engaged in unnatural sex with men. His words make it clear that homosexual behavior is unnatural because it is a rejection of God’s design for sex. Homosexual desire, then, would also be unnatural for the same reason: it drives people to abandon the natural design and function of human sexuality.

No one is born gay, its a psychological and societal problem and it needs to be curtailed as soon as it is discovered.

Thanks for this..

Even the so called gays knows it's not natural...

Imagine if our early parents where gays, most of us won't be here today..
It's actually a mental problem

You know some people have sexual preference for animals like goats, dogs...

Should we now also say they were born this way to....

CodeTemplar:
You are the one parading ignorance here.
Let me try tracing it from the church to the poor for you.
The church schools and are established to deliver a certain standard of education which has its own level of required funding. Now let's say that funding translate to # 10, 000 per student per year.

The church can't pay 10,000 for all student so decide to pay for only those they can through à scholarship arrangement that targets a blend of the best and the poor. After covering those within their immediate capacity they open the floor for best(academically) who can afford the whole 10,000 on their own.

This is the reality for most church unis but people don't want to hear that. They think the church is their government. As long as the government receives your tax the government is the sole provider of every other things you share in common with nonbelievers.

Now the price for that standard of education with no profit making interest in mind is fees of over a million...


Just agree, the schools by most churches today are profit making ventures..

You don't need to set up schools to offer scholarships and scholarship doesn't justify that amount for their standard of education

Junior66:
As an educated person you should know that the missionary schools were not free in the sense you are making it. Those schools were paid for by the mother churches of the missionaries abroad. Oyibo people paid for us to be given free education so it was not free.

Ofcos someone needed to pay for it? and in this case the Church...

And that's why they were referred to as missionary schools...

No profit making schools if I must state that as well...


Now that you are done educating me, can you now tell me if your church school is a non profit making school?

You guys are typing out of ignorance...


Fahlz said the bitter truth without any sugar coating...


You mention cost of running a University as maybe a profit making venture not as a missionary..


Those missionaries that came to preach the gospel had several secondary school they ran for free, which one is your church running for free? And in your comparison to Government, ask yourself if the government is not also struggling to fund Secondary or even primary schools....


How do you even Justify fees in excess of a million or two in a bid to Justify the Church...
