Yes... That's why we single ladies need to look before we leap..

But the truth is most guys would exhibit their main colour after marriage. That kinda negates the ladies' careful choice.

Thank you so much for these links.
This is part 2 of the series. http://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2016/06/nigerias-first-coup-biafra-british-secret-files-part-two/
Let this information not be hidden if not history will be stood on its head.

Please would love to be notified when the next part is released. Thanks.

It is a very deep and insightful article.

gfullmoon:
Defending criminals with the sophistication of Evans can even cause the Lawyer's death. He will be likely kidnapped once Evans is freed and he will pay it back 10x. Money is not everything...

And what guarantees he will win the case? Do you even know if they will plead guilty and request for a lighter punishment? Left to you he should just be killed without trial. Have you asked yourself if the innocents wont also be wrongly killed daily with that system.

Logic friend, logic!!!

OVA200:
You said nobody should shed blood but he does i.e he is doom by the law so why defending him.

Even if a robber was caught during robbery lawyer will still try as much as possible to defend him.

Because that is their job. Even if the robber cant afford a lawyer, the Government will provide one for him. He has a right to be defended.

Lets say in a case where you were wrongly accused of theft and the whole world scorns you. Wont you be glad to get a good lawyer who increases your chances of justice? Would you still support the reason that since everyone believed you did it, you have to be prosecuted?

That is logic, brother.

The fact he has a lawyer doesnt mean he will win the case. Criminals b4 him have been entitled to lawyers, so should he. He isnt different.

gypsey:
i will, because i played no part in his alleged crimes, besides he hasn't been convicted of any crimes, he is only a criminal in the eyes of people like you who have concluded that he is a criminal, let him have his day in court if convcited by all means send him to jail.

but at the moment he is just a SUSPECT!

May your source of knowledge and logic never dry.

The logic of an average Nigerian youth is becoming that of a toddler. All hope is lost. Where did all go wrong?

jerryclinton:
There's no justification to take up a matter in which the culprit has already confessed. You asked the journalist if he can not be defended when people have already condemned him. But Mr lawyer, this is no allegation against someone. Evans has already confessed with his own mouth and has taken police to places he use to detain his victims. Every kobo Evans has is money collected as ransom for crime and he pays ur charges from that money. Isn't it sad that u collect such money from him, eat with it and without conscience?? U need God

Even with his confessions, do you know he has to be represented in court? And he also needs a lawyer to even plead guilty, as you cant walk into a court and plead guilty for yourself. This isnt a military court martial.

If you can transfer the guilt of money he's collecting from the kidnapper to him despite it being for his services. Will you transfer the guilt to car sellers, he has patronised? Food vendors he has bought from? Landlords he has rented from? Churches he has donated to? Possible humanitarian societies he has offered money?

Where would you stop?

He is a lawyer. He took an oath to defend his client and he is doing his job and paid for it. Evans, despite a criminal has the right to legal representation and he has gotten one. Whats the big deal about?

I blame the media though who are trying to exploit the moral high horse of an average Nigerian.

I didn't deride the man for taking up the cause, it is commendable. My only pointer is: unpopular decision comes with its unsavoury consequences to you and those around you. That is a reality.

It is only because of the illiteracy and lack of logic that has ruined our nation.

As an aside tho, you have a valid point.

Ekinematics:



Not all are same.
Most MDs are equivalent to post graduate.

You might be getting it wrong.

In the United states, the undergraduate degree in medicine is awarded as M.D. or D.O. (Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine). This is enough to practice medicine in the country. However post doctorate research are honored with MD-PhD.

In Uk and most Commonwealth nations MBBS or MBChB is awarded to undergraduate after completion of medical school. This is EQUIVALENT to M.D. and D.O. used in U.S.A. Post Doctorate degree awarded is however called M.D. here instead of MD-PhD.

Thus if you are awarded an M.D in UK or Nigeria e.g MD in Endocrinology, you are of similar rank to an MD-PhD in same field in US; while an MBBS holder in Nigeria is equivalent to an M.D holder in USA also.

So like I said, no undergraduate attained MD is higher than MBBS.

Thanks.

tete7000:


I agree with you but the truth his that his children will be ridiculed by his mates and even some teachers in their schools. His wife will be subjected to taunting by a section of the society. It is not about fairness, it is about reality. Reality about society where many are governed by different kinds of emotion. It is why we must think through our actions before we commits ourselves to them. If we can stand the public ridicule, are we willing to take our family through same? Because what we choose to suffer as an individual, we often carry our family through the same suffering. Call it suffering in solidarity

Even though i understand your reasoning, the Law doesnt. Just imagine a case where the accused could have been falsely accused or implicated. If all lawyers decide to leave him to his own since he has been judged by the media, will justice be served?

Are we this ignorant in this nation. Jeez. We cant move forward, it's so obvious.

He is a LAWYER, that is his job. JOB!!! He went through Law school for this (legal representation of clients). Even though I am in support of prosecution of the kidnapper, do you know he has the right to a lawyer? Even if he has killed millions.

Using you guys logic, assuming he was shot during his arrest, the doctors who decides to treat him b4 being charged to court too is a criminal.

Why do you guys view everything in a tribalistic lens? Your hatred for Yorubas is so unhealthy. I have moved from being irritated to actually pitying you guys.

Pathetic

fatymore:

Hehehe.... thanks for the tease.

Mujtahida:

Since this Biafra agitation came recently to the fore I have been following the events and comments on nairaland. I have even gotten involved in somewhat light exchanges with him here and I am generally familiar with his thoughts. On this Biafran issue here on nairaland I have seen scorn,derision, contempt, spite, prejudice but never before have I seen such hatred in its most distilled and visceral form. Woowwwww.
Bros our country is sick. What will heal this land now. It's painful to see a person we regard as our fellow country man carry such hatred inside his soul. How do we heal this land now when coming to terms with the truth is so difficult

I am of the opinion the country is rotten to the root. Probably because it was founded on shaky foundations, I wouldnt know. We have no option (i think) than division because the agitation will grow bigger and cause a discord that will bring the country to its knee. Its sad as I used to love this nation. But who knows? Division might be a benefit.

3. I am cold inside.

Lol....I feel like I am the medical version of Hitman. There are so many times (especially in the A $ E) when you see some patients and their conditions and you believe your reflexive action should be running away. However, I just feel NOTHING. Most of my mates would be either hiding or making funny faces. But my brother, me awill just be feeling cool.

There was an example of a patient with DMFS and the leg was gangrenous and so bad looking. Trust me, it was bad looking. And smelly, very smelly. Most of my classmates, even seniors, stayed away from this patient. Mehn, i near am ooo. Even looked deep into the gangrene, seeing the bones and all.

That leaves some questions unanswered:

* Am I a Vampire? I cant be, cos I walk during the day (in sun) and I don suck blood (pfft).

* Do I have an icy heart? For God sake, I did Anatomy. How can an iced heart pump out flowing blood to my organs. So canceled out.

* Probably I am the Medical hitman then, a man with ice in his veins (Anatomy!!!!!!!).

Funny!!!

Anyways, Its a good one as I would learn not to get emotional with my patients. But does it make me a good doctor?
* I'll think about it.

Mujtahida:

The hate in his soul is terrible. It's literarily the heart of darkness. I am not sure such acidic hatred existed in Ojukwu' heart. Ojukwu could not have lived up to the age he did if carried in his heart this kind of virulence. He would have died of cancer and ulcer.

I do feel bad for him. No one should carry such burden in his/her heart. People like him end up facing experiences that instill in him affection towards those he claims to hate. Then he would know tribalism is a chancre.

2. Doctors and Nurses have an eternal beef.

Well, this is not always the case but common, the tension is palpable. I dont know for certain, why this could be but I would make a guess its due to anger generated in response to the dominating nature of doctors.

Most times, we the bottom of the food chain bear the brunt. The nurses shout at you for little mistakes. Scream at you for placing your bag somewhere. Almost tear you to pieces in situations you arent aware of you blocking their path.

However, one has to be patient with them and humble, cos you learn alot from them. Especially how to develop a rapport with patients, how to dress wounds, give injections, phlebotomy and bed dressing. So nurses are our needed enemies (BCH-esque) LOL!!!

pazienza:


Oh! So now you realized that you demonic beings have been pulling speculations out of thin air for the past 50 years and repeated it over and over until it started passing as the truth.
Show we a single quote where any of the coup plotters including Ademoyega called the January coup Igbo coup?

Would you have Ironsi not appoint a Yoruba the military governor of the west, if Fajuyi was involved in the coup, how then can it be called an Igbo coup?
The coup plotters were imprisoned , what other persecution were you looking for? Jungle justice?

Oh! You feel the Igbo coup angle is justified , because non Igbos ended up dead in the coup , but the Awolowo coup is not justified despite the fact that his main political opponents ended up dead in a coup it's plotters ultimate aim was to enthrone Awolowo?

Igbo soldiers didn't kill Nigerian soldiers in Nigeria, we were invaded by demonic soldiers from Nigeria and had to defend our home land, how exactly hard is this for your brain to process?

I'm sure Yorubas throw the Igbo coup around for demonic sake, seeing as not even the coup plotters agree with the Igbo coup angle, yet that never deterred you with your half truths and conjectures aimed at calumny campaign against Ndiigbo.
You are arguing with me because you are scared your calumny campaign is being buried here, you felt your Yoloba brothers weren't doing a good job, so you jumped in, unfortunately for you, they are even better than you.

Ndiigbo had already forgotten the existence of Arewa Oduanistanis, we intend making this selective amnesia permanent by eextracting ourselves from your failed country, and leaving you and your Arewa overlords to continue your endless cycle of failure. Deal with it.

Sighs, you've got a whole lot of hate and tribalism in you there mahn. I just hope for your sake, you rid yourself of them. I am not ready for the 360 degrees argument with you.

But I am always praying that the good Lord grant you guys your country. Every region existed and survived before 1914, we will all (including Igbos) survive beyond it. My advice is: rid your heart of hate and tribalism. Because when your country is achieved, you will direct the hate to your fellow Igboid brothers.

Have a good night rest, bro.

pazienza:



Exactly my point. Your Banjo point was succinct. The fact that Nzeogwu and Ifeajuna were Igbos doesn't change the fact that they were playing a game masterminded by Awolowo.

The last time I checked, the coup was masterminded by Awolowo and he wiped out his political opponents ( Saraduna, Akintola and Balewa).
You can't expect all Awolowo enemies to be wiped out by a group of misguided military men who confessed to planning to enthrone Awolowo, without rational beings pointing hands at Awolowo?

Just kill your yoloboid bias and give it a thought for a minute.

I am trying to reason with you but you arent giving me any reason to. What made you conclude Awolowo masterminded the coup? I dont need conspiracy theories, just plain facts.

pazienza:


The prison can't save a power seeking and greedy demonic self acclaimed sage from his own coup, neither could it stop him from trying future coup that ended with him ending his miserable life.

Do tell why Awolowo targets all turned out to be those that caused his convict state as of that moment?

Tell me why a Yoruba man, Ademoyega should be involved in a supposedly Igbo coup and still maintain the coup wasn't Igbo till today?
Tell me why Fajuyi a Yoruba mentored the men involved in the so called Igbo coup?

If you can't answer these questions, you will end up the way of your demonic self acclaimed sage, and would leave the Earth through an Otapiapia gateway.

Using your logic, then the civil wasnt fought against Nigerian soldiers by Igbos, as Victor Banjo was a part of it. So as much as a yoruba was in the Biafran army, it stopped being an Igbo struggle? Spare me.

The fact Yoruba soldiers were involved doesnt change the motive of the coup and it was achieved. It was decades ago, so just accept and move on. Every region makes a mistake. Trying to avoid blame is however wrong.

I am very sure if it were only Igbo leaders killed in that first coup, the anti-Igbo claims from you guys would have been top notch. You cant wipe out the political class of 2 major regions while leaving yours and expect anything less than suspicion. I know you care less but give it a thought.

pazienza:


Lol! You are already roaming.

Greater hits in history had been masterminded from prison walls. All he needed was misguided footsoldiers.
Awolowo couldn't be killed in a coup he masterminded, remember that the aim of the coup was to enthrone him, use you brain for once, it's an app.

He was still in prison because the coup failed. His boys lost control as Ironsi truncated their plans. Ironsi was never part of Awolowo coup. You obviously need a brain transplant surgery to replace your brain with that of a goat, as a goat as it stands has a higher IQ than you.

Never did Zik cause Awo imprisonment, Awolowo chased Zik out of Western region politics out of greed for power, the same greed saw Awolowo alienate Akintola, forcing Akintola to align with Saraduna and Balewa, in bid to cut Awo to size.
The primary reason Awolowo lost out in power game in the West was Akintola, the secondary reason was Saraduna-Balewa and the underlying reason was Awolowo political immaturity and greed.
Trying to pin Awo misfortunes on Zik is a hallmark of stupidity emanating from Yorubas.

Zik survived Awolowo coup because throughout his life, he was one step ahead of Awolowo. Deal with it.

Pulling speculations out of thin air and concocting them as fact. Delusion cant be more obvious than this.

You said Ironsi wasnt a part of the coup plotters and yet he still appointed Fajuyi in charge of the West. He also avoided prosecution of the plotters. But Awolowo who was in prison (like I said, out of thin air with no fact) was shown to you by Superior Beings as the man behind the coup. You had no quote from anyone, no evidence. Just you imagining and coming to conclusion.

I'm suprised at people arguing with you tho' as it is obvious you are arguing just for its sake.

My point is: We believe you Igbos; you are the best and the saint of saints. Infact the other 200 and something other tribes are the problem. Only Igbos are intelligent and can make no error.

The only period you people stop believing tribal superiority, thats when you can develop. God created all race and tribe equal. When a Yoruba man err, I will never support him but the trend i have noticed is Igbos prefer to play the victim.

Someone raised an issue about the war (could be you). Are you saying those killed by the Igbo soldiers have no family members and wont hold grudges against them. Or only Igbos were killed during the war. Or was the war supposed to be an arm wrestling competition with generals hugging each good night before sleeping? Wars consume lives on both side. If you can forget that and move on as a region, then its sad.

Yes dear.
Most countries give MD while naija still remain at MBBS

Its actually the same. Just a title. The reason we use MBBS is due to the British influence.

Tough is the norm in medical school....one just have to be strong, not just physically but mentally too.

Thanks for following

During the 4 weeks, I got some information:

1. Hierarchy is a serious business in medicine and we medical students are the bottom of the food chain. The food chain kinda looks like

Consultant - Think the Lion, the Tiger, the boss, the King. When he's around; everybody gats behave or risk the abuse of your life or better get sent out (It is actually better)
Senior Registrar - Think wolves, Cheetah, the Lieutenant, 2nd in command, Igbakeji Orisa (lol). When top boss arent around, he runs the show. But when he's around, baba gats be gentle. He's not above correction from the consultant, although that rarely happens especially in the presence of minnows like us.
Junior Registrar - Think Stoke City (football lovers), the foxes and hyena of medical food chain. They are as mid-table as you can get. They have authority over House officers and students but are prey to the consultants and Senior Reg. However, there is a saying that most things you learn as a student in medical school, comes from the Junior Reg. This is because they arent too far to take a look at the bottom and they actually have lots of things upstairs (no offence, House officers *tongue out*).
House officers (HO): Where do I start? People call them the dog of the hospital. Thats enough description but I'll bite more. Who runs the lab? HO. Who spends more than 100 hours in the hospital in a week? HO. Who is almost forever in the ward? HO. Who receives the most insults from Consultants? HO. Who is blamed for mishaps in the ward? HO. Who is meant to be everywhere and at all time? God (HO in the hospital tho). I pity these guys, they work their butt off. Well, they get paid, so wetin concern me sef?
Students? Sighs...We are the definition of food in food chain. You see the HO up there has more mouth than us. We are the relegation candidates (football lovers); the Sunderlands and Swanseas. Hell, we play in Division 2. The students are further divided into subgroups:
600 level-----sabi small
500 level------still trying
400 level------who are they?

Yeah, so during my CLS, i was a nobody in the hospital. We were just the back benchers. We dont go for ward rounds. We spend most time with the nurses and lab attendants. Choi!!! We were more fridge repairers than doctors...lol.

But that would change in CLS 2 after the Block 1 PathPharm....cant wait

Disclaimer: The fact I used 'He' to describe the medical positions above doesnt mean females arent allowed. It was just for generalisation. Sorry ladies...*smiles*

Now my school runs an intercalated kind of calender from 400 level upwards, in which you tend to have short postings in Medicine and Surgery till you have your final posting in 600 level.

Terrific right? YEAH!!!!!

That means we get a taste of ward rounds, calls, outpatient clinic time etc. That sounds all sorts of fun.

First week of December 2016, we resumed for an Introduction to Clinical skill (CLS) a.k.a Come, Look and Sign. It is actually a 4 weeks introduction to Medicine and Surgery, but it got that infamous alias due to medical students gaining absolutely nothing during the 4 weeks. We actually only looked and sign.

NOTE: I wont be discussing much about activities during the clinical periods; as its against medical ethic. Sorry.

Stumbled on this but its an interesting piece. Highly narrative and educating. Thumbs up to u Op

I am going to blame my Yoruba brothers on this forum. Please lets stop this e-arguments. Lets leave them to their hatred. It doesnt change anything. We know who we are. We dont need to argue with anyone. Our tribe has worked hard to reach this point in history and we will still keep pushing on till we reach our goal.

E je ki a fi awon omo ajokuta mamomi le. Nitori ko si iyato larin were ati eni ton ba were ja.

Please my brothers

Jlow2:
the man you pple installed after gej what has he done for you pple and the rest of the southern part, at least gej reconstructed the shagamu-ore-benin road ,i bought fuel @97 and changed dollar below 200, so tell wat the person you installed has done since 2years?

Do you even know how democracy works? So if i vote for someone and he didnt perform, are you to blame me in hindsight or the person?

You people said you hate Yorubas and want their failure. We've heard you; at least, you are not God. Let us paddle our canoe, and stop spreading discord. Just leave us to ourselves. We will be fine. If you hate a Yoruba man, you will stay out of his business.

This hatred is just too much.

Pharmacology

Unlike the silly Pathology, Pharmacology is not branched. It deals with the study of the mode of action of drugs, as well as their uses and effects.

Hence, we can all agree Pharmacology prepares doctors for disease management and Pathology for diagnosis.

Thus, evert course in the medical school plays a function and role in the moulding of a complete medical practitioner. Each, contributing to the skills required for diagnosis, management and prognosis.

I kinda like Pharmacology but mehn the course is so volatile, you need to read countless before it can stay....
