sisiafrika: oprah winfery ni. Optometrist are diff frm ophthalmologists. Oprhamologists ko, okpara ojukwu ni,

Lol you tried beautiful joke. That was a typographical error from my phone....

But my point remains clear. Eye Surgeons are the opthamologists not optometrists! We need to make a respectful distinction. The optometrists have a more primary assignment and are also wonderful health care professionals as the case may be

once again you need to thank my phone for giving you a joke to crack but realize that you start a name with a capital letter so it should be Oprah and her surname is Winfrey not winfery

This is a thread for all students of dentistry and dental surgery and aspirants. We had one that made the front page but went with the Nairaland data loss unfortunately.. I hope the mods make up for that by putting this on front page
We can meet here and discuss different issues relating to Dentistry ... The national dental students conference hosted by unilag had come and gone, it was really unfortunate not to discuss that here. We can use this thread to discuss subsequent issues anyway!

preciousjoz1: boss can you pls create another thread for dentistry and dental surgery student like the one we had before the NL tsunami,u have no Idea how much your thread helped me.#grateful.how is medical school treating you?

Yes I will

Doctors are in charge of the health sector in the country administratively.....Am not sure if it will change.. ..But we must respect each other...

even if the op has no I. complex many doctors and med stds haters have for all I know

# say No to inferiority complex!

theplanmaker: its not inferiority complex, it's dealing with the egomania of certain people. I have close friends who are doctors, I don't feel inferior to them. but I know some doctors who I just can't get along with. the value their ego above their profession....such ones I pay back in their own coin.........I am a nurse!

One of the best ways to deal with this ego is to be the best in whatever you are doing ..by so doing you Command Respect
Dora Akinyuli our great professor of blessed memory was a pharmacist but respected by all
she commanded Respect by being the best!

..

See Be the best you can the very best.....Am proud to be in the medical school studying dentistry ..by God's grace but it's nothing so fantastic like that.... The work load here is extremely demanding... sometimes I wish I was studying an easier course so if u are not in med school or not it doesn't mean u won't make it...Jonathan was not in med school...Aliko dangote was not privileged to be here but we all know he is a financial mogul...Just rise to the Peak of or career. Biochemists should respect doctors and doctors must also respect biochemists and so on!
Just drop the inferiority complex stuff

Profcamsey: I m not making any1 loose focus. I did jamb 4 times b4 been admitted to study medicine, though I was doing Bsc. Biochemistry. I noticed this is what my mates n I do especially those of us that wanted medicine n it really affected us. Dont take it personal

What's with this "beef" na ?
all these are spurred by inferiority complexxxxxx! for all I know

Doclight: lmao. U really missing a point!

what point?
secondly whats ur course?

Billyonaire: You are not wise. Wisdom is the principal thing. Can you eat clean food from an unclean plate ? Your Chris has been going around with a bleached skin and jerry curl hair fooling around controversies about m/a/s/t/ur/ba/tion and other parochial teachings. He should have been in jail for money laundering a year ago but we have too many chauvinistic men of God worshippers like you in the judiciary. God himself is a absentee landlord, if not, what will fraud like Christian Oyhakilome be doing in his house ?

Shame on you myopic religious bigot.

Shsking my head... I am not their member....just warning u about speaking against a man of God. .. serve The God of man and not the man of God

you are quite abusive anyway

Billyonaire: Pastor Chris is a known adulterer. Thats what you should defend. No one says he doesnt preach and heal but his d/i/c/k seems to work faster than his anointing oil.

I consider it extremely foolish to speak against a Man of God..Miriam did this and had leprosy even though Moses was wrong....Take you mind off the man of God and focus on the God of Man! Mind your business! Serve God! It is well with pastor Chris family and the body of Christ at large.

ndidibabe: Sounds gayish...

Arsene Wenger says Arsenal remain "active"
in the transfer market, with plenty of
movement expected across the country
before Monday's deadline.

source: bbc

Arsenal are planning to make a £40million
bid for Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus
before the transfer window shuts.
The Gunners have been chasing Reus for
most of the summer and have been boosted
in their attempts to sign him by reports that
he’s turned down a new contract at
Dortmund.
Reus’ buyout clause drops to less than
£20million next summer, and now the Daily
Express says Arsenal hope to tempt
Dortmund into selling now with a £40million
bid.
The paper says the offer will go in before
tonight’s 11pm deadline and while they’re
leaving it late, Arsene Wenger is still hoping
to do business.

Arsene Wenger has left Arsenal fans livid
after being spotted flying to Rome to referee
a match for peace on transfer deadline day.
With the Gunners in desperate need of
reinforcements, supporters were expecting the
Frenchman to devote all his energy to
landing the key signings needed to fire the
club towards a league challenge.
However, after being photographed flying to
Rome, it has now transpired that Wenger is in
fact the guest of honour at the
first Interreligious Match for Peace held at
the Stadio Olimpico.
The Gunners boss will be joined by the likes
of David Trezeguet, Andrea Ranocchia and
Andrea Pirlo for the one-off event in Italy.
But despite Wenger nobly giving up his time
for a fantastic cause, Arsenal fans have been
left livid that their manager has seemingly
abandoned his post on what could be one of
the most pivotal days of the club’s season.

Medical profession should be more of saving lives and not more of making money

You HV a point but do u think going to school for 6 yes is easy? we do so much and pay so many sacrifices learning. Docs deserve financial respect. Doctors in US are not treated this way

An experimental drug for treatment of
Ebola has been provided by a Nigerian in
diaspora and will arrive the country
today, the minister for health, Onyebuchi
Chukwu, has said.
The drug, called “Nanosilver”, can now be
used following the approval by the World
Health Organisation (WHO) that
experimental treatments are ethical in the
case of the Ebola pandemic.
The Nigerian government authorised the
use of experimental drugs on Wednesday.
The US sent ZMapp, another experimental
drug, to Liberia on Wednesday, while
Canada has decided to donate 1,000
vaccines to the affected countries.
According to Chukwu, the experimental
drug is a donation from a Nigerian
scientist who was concerned about threat
of Ebola in his home country.

President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan
yesterday Friday has declared the control
and containment of the Ebola virus in
Nigeria, a National Emergency. The
President made this known through his
Special Adviser on Media and Publicity,
Reuben Abati in Abuja in a Press Statement
which read
"Accordingly, the President has directed the
Federal Ministry of Health to work in
collaboration with the State Ministries of
Health, the National Centre for Disease
Control (NCDC), the National Emergency
Management Agency (NEMA) and other
relevant agencies to ensure that all possible
steps are taken to effectively contain the
threat of the Ebola virus in line with
international protocols and best practices.
Continue...
President Jonathan also approved a Special
Intervention Plan and the immediate release
of N1. 9 billion for its implementation, to
further strengthen on-going steps to
contain the virus such as the establishment
of additional isolation centres, case
management, contact tracing, deployment
of additional personnel, screening at
borders, and the procurement of required
items and facilities.
The President commends the vigilance of
aviation and health authorities in Lagos
who identified and isolated the index case
in Nigeria, the late Patrick Sawyer, an
American-Liberian who flew into the
country.
He also applauds the good work of health
authorities at both State and Federal levels
who have traced persons who had contact
with him, isolated other identified cases
and embarked on massive public
enlightenment.
President Jonathan calls for even greater
vigilance and co-operation at all levels to
stop the Ebola virus from spreading further.
As the effective implementation of the
Federal Government's Special Intervention
Plan will require other stakeholders to take
certain precautionary steps that are
supportive of the government’s initiative,
the President calls on members of the
public to follow all directives by health
authorities and report any suspected Ebola
case to the nearest health facility for
immediate medical attention.
He also enjoins the public to desist from
spreading false information about Ebola
which can lead to mass hysteria, panic
and misdirection, including unverified
suggestions about the prevention, treatment,
cure and spread of the virus.
President Jonathan urges that the
movement of corpses from one community
to the other, and from overseas into the
country should be stopped forthwith. Every
death should be reported to the relevant
authorities, and special precautions should
be taken in handling corpses.
Religious and political groups, spiritual
healing centres, families, associations and
other bodies should, in the meantime,
discourage gatherings and activities that
may unwittingly promote close contact with
infected persons or place others at risk.
Public enlightenment agencies, including
privately-owned media organs should
support government’s efforts and
disseminate correct information in all
Nigerian languages, about preventive
personal hygiene measures, the nature of
the Ebola virus, modes of transmission and
consequential steps to be taken in the event
of infection.
President Jonathan appeals to State
governments and private day care, nursery,
primary and secondary schools owners to
consider the option of extending the current
school holiday until such a time when a
national reassessment of the level of the
Ebola threat is conducted.
The President further directs the National
Emergency Management Agency and similar
agencies at the state level to strengthen
their public enlightenment campaigns and
to use their networks to distribute hand
sanitisers and other protective items
nationwide. He has also directed the
aviation and health authorities to embark
on immediate intensification of the
screening of travelers at all the nation’s
borders.
President Jonathan reassures everyone that
the Government of Nigeria will continue to
take every step, deploy all resources, and
mobilize every support and assistance to
check the spread of Ebola in the country.
Medical workers and other health
professionals are expected to regard this
declaration of a National Emergency as a
patriotic call to duty and service."
