Thank you . Seriously we need to embrace and humanity and put aside those things that divide us in that way humanity can grow

Exactly!

dominique:
I feel the epxulsion decision was too steep but he brought this upon himself. You're in school to study, get your degree and vamoose not challenge school authority, even implying that they are thieves



Who doesn't know about the misappropriation and mismanagement of funds going on in our higher institutions? Na only get fingers to type "long long English" (in Mercy Eke"s voice). I feel for him but he brought this mess upon himself

He's not just in school to get his certificate and vamoose! He's being trained on how to put his brain to use and that includes how to rise up against bad leadership at all times. It's just unfortunate that we're in a country where those in leadership positions do all whatnot and get away with it because people like you think it is wrong to challenge them. No wonder nothing is working in Nigeria!

Meanwhile, someone like me would respect this Ifemosu guy more than some cowards who would rather swallow sh1ts from the authorities for fear of persecution! This is why illiterates rule over the supposedly literates in this country!

AmazonHippolyta:
Quiet stop comparing both leave Queen Tacha to do her thing and leave Taxi Mercy to do hers. your fear of Tacha makes you compare her to Mercy all the time

Tacha is coming out big. That girl is a star even though you will fail to admit it. It won't change anything. let Mercy enjoy her moment and leave Queen Tacha alone.

I like your display picture!
The message there summarizes everything I have been preaching to Nigerian religious bigots!

Until Nigerians rise up to demand that the right things be done in our health sector, Nigerian doctors will continue to misbehave

Sorry, but things will only get worse until the right is done

I like that reply by the Archbishop!
A subtle way of telling Mr Obiano to stop looking for excuses and get his jobs done! Sense no go kill that Bishop abeg.

MUMUdom:
Stop talking nonsense I wonder how you nigerians think sha oo its very funny that in the 21st century a human being created by God thinks closing the borders of his country is the way to “put Ghanaians in their place?” Fuckeduppedness well, the Ghanaian economy is doing great, growing at 8.8% while your generator-powered economy is struggling at less than 2% by the way, how much trade are we talking about? I don’t think Ghana exports more than $100 million worth of goods to Nigeria annually. Is that the one that will collapse the Ghanaian economy? Some of you people are just too foolish

Then stop disturbing our peace about opening the borders! Meanwhile, do well to pay up our #160 million dollars gas debt

It is better to acquire sound education that would benefit the society even at 40years than just rushing through school studying some courses only to come out and become a liability to the society.

However, attending an unaccredited medical school is a big no no

See Mr Ugly himself calling a pretty lady like Dolapo Badmus ugly!
Wonders shall never end!

karika2018:
please forgive them

No sir!...those Ghanaians need to be put in their place so they can learn to respect Nigerians

Our borders remain closed please!

bixton:
There's nothing national about the PDP. That is the greatest denial we claim to believe and continuously tell ourselves.
PDP operates the law of let the minority have their say but majority have their way.

But that is what democracy is about! The majority always have their way while the minority have their say, so?

richie240:
Nigerians have not forgotten, dts why they (pdp) lost in 2019. Those whose actions/inactions destroyed the party are those who choose to forget.
That's why someone could open his 'gutter' and say he'd rather vote a monkey in PDP than pmb in APC.
Imagine dt.


u may kindly change 'ISes' in ur statement to 'WASes' if u wish.
PDP was not only d big and national party, but was also d biggest political party in d whole of Africa!
Thanks to d bigots, ds same party has bn 'elevated' to a Regional party in one corner of Nigeria.
When u mention 'PDP' today, what region/tribe comes to mind?
Good! u get am.
case closed!

You are living in denial bro!
Northwest.... Sokoto PDP, Zamfara PDP

Northeast.... Bauchi PDP, Adamawa PDP, Taraba PDP

North central.... Benue PDP

Southwest... Oyo PDP

5 southeastern States

5 south south states and 60% of Edo state

Now consider presence in other supposedly APC states like Kano, Lagos, Plateau, Nasarawa, Ondo, Osun.

And you still can't see that PDP is the true national party??

Carmit:
PDP IS DEAD.
these guys really destroyed Nigeria. I don't know why they still have supporters.
Nigerians are quick to forget their past!

PDP is a gazillion times better than APC!!!
APC has no respect for rule of law!

APC has no policy direction!

APC plunged Nigerians into poverty!!!


PDP is the only truly national party in Nigeria!

Kwankwaso (president) and Udom for VP

Sai Kwankwaso!

truthsayer009:
I know you didn't quote me but the answer is Yes
As long as you're not making money, Women see you as weak. Doing chores, fetching water, washing of cars etc would make her have soft spot for you but If you bring no income at all, those others things you do, carries no value.

It's like Major Courses & Minor courses in school.

"A Major is the field in which a student focuses during the course of his/her degree. A student will generally complete 10 out of the necessary 20 credits in an Honours degree in the Major subject area.

A Minor is a secondary concentration of courses that often complements the Major. This usually requires completion of 4 required credits in the Minor subject area. " ~ Curled from Google.

Keyword is: Minor often complements the Major.

Please If any woman tells you that by helping out more at home WITHOUT bring money home would make her love you more. She is lying & devil is her accomplice.

Bonus:
I know some women claim that stay-at-home dads don't do nothing but watch TV, which is partly true. However, I can still assure you that doing those house chores will only salvage the situation for a while, but your Doom still awaits you if you don't get up & work.

cc: Plead

I asked her that question because her comment made it seem like giving the wife an "upkeep" allowance would make up for not doing house chores.
Btw, upkeep allowance in this topic is not same as the cost of running the household. I think it is actually referring to giving the wife a stipend for her personal issues. Not family upkeep!

So, I think you went wide off the mark in your post by typing about things like "getting up and work" and "stay at home dad" et al, because the flow of this thread is not about the man not shouldering the financial responsibilities of the household but about giving the wife money for her personal use. We all know that a man has a duty as defined by our African culture to fend for his family.

bukatyne:
Well, I am sure you would rarely find a working wife opening a tread on how to handle all the chores alone on reddit.

We have different cultures.

Most other cultures realize that for a wife to really keep the house, she can't work outside it so they frown at working wives.

Nigerians expect a wife doing 9 - 5 bar commute time to keep the house alone while the husband wants to 'rest' and hangout on weekends working same schedule.

We would continue to see comments like these.

So, in cases where the man also does house chores like fetching water, washing of cars, clearing of grasses and other manly chores, should the woman still expect an "upkeep" allowance??

Poor girls! Na wetin them dey find be that

That's why I like Davido!

Hope Ghana has paid up their gas debts to Nigeria Nigerian government must recover every cent Ghana is owing us.

Any Nigerian still remaining in Ghana at this time is doing so at his/her own risk!


Leave Ghana now!

Obviously to pepper them haters!

raumdeuter:
Let him contest against others for the ticket the way Obasanjo did. No one gives anything to anyone

Of course, I'm sure the likes of Orji Uzor Kalu and Rochas and even Ogbonnaya Onu are ready to contest. Let them have the ticket, we'll certainly support our own!

Ogbonnaya Onu is one of the founding members of what is now known as APC, let them give him the presidential thicket if they really want to zone it to the southeast! I'm very sure that Igbos will support him if he emerges as APC candidate.

Rochas Okorocha is also there. Likewise Orji Uzor Kalu and even Chris Ngige. Why can't these men fly APC's flag if they are serious about Igbo presidency

omenka:
Sorry, didnt read that bro. You already said all that matters in that post. According to your darling pdp, the South East that has busted their hump for twenty long years to see to the survival and growth of the party, deserves nothing until 2031!

Thanks for this wonderful info and good bye.

You should know about PDP's zoning arrangement bro

omenka:
There you have it folks, from the horses' mouth directly! South East deserves nothing until 2031, so says pdp!!

No be me talk am o, na they themselves.

Post saved for future purposes.

As if APC had any plans ab initio to zone their ticket to southeast!

It'll even be closer to wait for 2031 under a stronger and rejuvenated PDP than to play mugu to the antics of APC. If Tinubu gets elected in 2023, he'll do 8years and hand over to a northerner who'll do 8years before power comes back to south again. That would be like by 2039. So, which is closer?

helinues:
Are the politicians defecting doing so just to improve the lives of their citizens or to improve their own lives?

Whichever bro. All I'm implying is that they shouldn't allow themselves to be deceived. APC's 2023 presidential ticket is a done deal for Tinubu!

oyebanji44:
You argued reasonably my brother. No matter how the erosion might be APC has no plans to zone the presidency to the south east.because this is the best opportunity for the sw to cling on to power by using one of the influential figures (buhari) to gain support from the north.

Exactly! Their plan is to hoodwink those governors into joining them to substantially weaken PDP in the southeast. Any southeast politician who is thinking of getting APC's ticket for presidency 2023 is just dreaming.

omenka:
So, now, i hope you guys are willing to take your eyes off APC's ticket and train it squarely on PDP's.

Can i hear you say a simple statement as "PDP needs to reward my people with the party's ticket to compensate them for their twenty years of diligent hard work and loyalty"?

It is better we wait until 2031 when power would return to south according to PDP's zoning arrangement than fall for APC's deception!

Having thought about events of the past few weeks with Ohanaeze ndi-igbo saying that they need three governors of the southeast to defect to APC in order to realize Igbo presidency in 2023.
This call seems to be a fallout of the meeting they held with Buhari in Aso rock recently. I'm sure a plan is underway by the powers that be to use that strategy to weaken the PDP in the southeast in order to pave way for whoever the APC decides to anoint as their candidate in 2023 (most likely Tinubu).
The southeast should learn from the travails of Ambode of Lagos state and play smarter by remaining in PDP. APC has no plans of zoning the presidency to the southeast in 2023! Recall that Ambode was hoodwinked into relinquishing power to Tinubu's anointed candidate with the promises of ministerial appointments and all whatnot. If Ambode had known that he'll end up being dumped like he eventually was, I'm sure he would have fought harder to retain his seat. But he thought that he'll be compensated with an appointment.

Therefore, southeast governors should act like wise Igbo men they are and not buy into that idea of decamping to APC! They'll have themselves to blame if they decamp!
Remaining as a bloc in the PDP will benefit the southeast more in the politics of 2023.
A word is enough for the wise!

Nmaudu:
The write up is very true, but then, the problem is not that of the Nigerian doctor, rather it’s a systemic issue.

Doctors are supposed to specialize in a particular specialty, and once they are consultants in that field, they get better and gain proficiency by attending to patients with complaints related to that field alone. They do their work with the aid of latest diagnostic technologies. The bedrock of this system is based on the fact that the primary health care centers work efficiently to screen patients that would need to see a consultant and send them to the appropriate specialist.

In Nigeria however, the whole system is on a mess. The primary health care system is virtually non existent, as most primary health care centers in the country do not have doctors, or at best doctors doing their NYSC posting. The nurses and community health officers in these PHCs would label all patients with fever as having malaria and typhoid.

The story at the general hospitals is not too different. There are doctors in these facilities, but they are grossly overworked. Most general hospitals in the country have less than 10 doctors in their employ. Take a stroll into any general hospital and you would see one doctor battling to attend to more than 50 patients in a day. All manners of patients are here to see the doctor, and he has less than 4 hours to attend to these patients. At best he can spare 5 minutes per patient. How can the doctor effectively diagnose and treat a patient in less than 5 mins and we expect not to have cases of misdiagnosis?

At the tertiary hospitals the story is not so different. Here we have the consultants and professors, but then the bureaucracy here makes this the last option for most patients. The patient keeps going round in curl legs and making endless queues before they can meet the consultant. There are a few medical officers and residents who do the most work of filtering the patient and sending them to the appropriate specialist clinics. At the specialist clinics the consultants do not have the appropriate diagnostic devices to make appropriate diagnosis, and when they make diagnosis, they do not have the appropriate medical devices to treat the patients. All this is compounded by the fact that drugs sold in the country are either fake or substandard and do not work as required. Did I also add that the consultant has his own private hospital because of course what the government pays him is not adequate, and so he only spends less than 4 hours in the teaching hospital before he runs down to his own hospital to make some real cash.

The problems are multifaceted, and does not lie solely with the Nigerian doctors. The fact that many doctors keep crossing the shores to other countries daily and these developed countries welcome them and some of these doctors excel in these countries goes a long way to show that the doctors are not the problem. It’s a system problem, and the government must be ready to invest in the care healthcare system of the country, strengthen the primary health care system, and invest in medical infrastructure in the secondary and tertiary health care systems for any improvement in the healthcare system in Nigeria to be achieved.

The other option of course is for the political class and the rich to jet off to any close by country they can afford to seek healthcare, and this unfortunately is the option that has been chosen by the ruling class in Nigeria for the past 3 decades or thereabouts.

Drugs in the country at the moment are not substandard thanks to efforts of the current nafdac DG.

You seem to evade the main problem here which is misdiagnosis and wrong prescription of drugs. That is what the article is about!

Building PHCs will not even solve anything with the crop of doctors we have in Nigeria today! I wish our government can REASON!

That is what you get in a country where quality healthcare practices have been sacrificed on the alter of partisan politics!
Nigerian doctors have decided to abandon their core areas in medicine and surgery to drag space with pharmacists in the pharmacy, medical lab scientists in the lab and other healthcare professionals, yet we lack medical experts in the various specialties of medicine!

I just pity the poor people of this country because our health sector is about to go into the worst state if urgent steps are not taken to call NMA and their cohorts to order!
When Nigerian government is ready to tackle the rot in our health sector, they'll appoint seasoned healthcare administrators to head our health ministry and even down to the smallest health institution.

For now, they're just playing politics with the lives of poor Nigerians. I weep for Nigeria!
