Mr. Doctor..! All you have said here aren't completely true. There are cases of women who had successful IVF at age 50plus but ended up having imbeciles. I have seen about two...!! Most Nigerian doctors have low knowledge of medicine because they have little International exposure, and many have refused to embrace research. My friend on NHIS, went to FMC Ado-Ekiti for medical help, the doctor diagnosed malaria and gave him drugs on NHIS. Upon taking 2 dozes of the drugs, he lost his voice completely, became weak and lost appetite for food. He managed to call me on phone. I'm not a doctor though..! I said scan your result to my ''Whatsapp''. And I immediately asked him to discard the entire drugs given by the doctor. I sent him a brand of antimalaria combined with a brand of antibiotic. He obeyed me and managed to reach ''Old Garage area'' for the drugs. Two days later, he recovered his voice completely and became well. But instead of him to thank God for having me, he took a mufty-wearing policeman to embarrass the doctor for giving him fake drugs. The doctor gently pleaded with them and revealed that he knew the medicine wasn't going to work but was constrained by NHIS coverage to give him low-potent drugs whose costs are within NHIS. Who do you blame here: Doctor, Patient or NHIS?

Both the doctor and the NHIS. That doctor should be flogged! He knew the drugs were not going to work, yet he still prescribed them for your friend? What if your friend's condition had worsened and he could not even reach out to you, or to anyone else for help? Do you realise that people still die of malaria, in this day and age? The doctor had a duty to tell his patient the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth! He should have explained that the NHIS plan does not cover the medication needed to cure him, and so he should ask him to either pay more to cover the cost of the right drugs needed to treat him, or go outside to get the prescription for the right drugs, filled by a competent pharmacy.

The NHIS should also be blamed, for not being flexible enough with their plans. Some of their plans and processes are too rigid.

And finally, you are not a doctor but you are prescribing medication to someone who is ill. You try, sha for your friend. I must commend your ingenuity. But wait o, what if something had gone wrong, or those drugs had caused complications for him? Some people develop an allergic reaction to certain drugs, and this could cost them their lives. Bottom line? Always appropriate seek medical advice. Get a 2nd or even a 3rd medical opinion, if necessary.

I do not need to have children to feel purpose or feel better about myself.

If I should decide that I need a child in my life there are thousands of children in need of adoption in Nigeria.

It is easy to identify teenagers, when they start recycling their shallow ideologies.....

And to think Rachna is gradually becoming a villian because of preek. na wa na real wa!

In fact, dat Rachna matter vex me well-well. She has such a massive insecurity complex, that she now sees her cousin Gunjan as her arch rival and enemy. I thought their story in that serial Young Dreams was really most promising, but now they too have delved into the realm of stupidity.

Charu, the wife of Rachna's cousin Mayank, is the one causing all the bad blood in the house and filling Rachna's ears with untrue stories and cunning lies about Gunjan. And Rachna the mumu, is swallowing Charu's lies hook, line and sinker and is now causing havoc for Gunjan. Why can't she tell the difference between fact and fiction? I weak o!

And she has now selected Vihaan, her disrespectful ex-boyfriend as her mentor, despite all the nasty things he did to her in the past! Hehehe... I laugh in French.

Hello guys, I’m Bayo Fagbenro.

I have been working for Spots.ng for a while now and I want to talk to you about the opportunities that I have benefitted from this past month.
I first saw a post on Facebook advertising a job of 4,000 Naira per day. Basically, what the job is about is sending in the names and addresses of great locations and spots (minus hotels) that are popular in your locality or throughout Nigeria. For every spot that I submitted, I earned 200 Naira, and after every 20 that I send, I get paid in batches of 4, 000 Naira.
At first, I was doing 20 per day, but now I do between 50-60 each day depending on the feedback from my friends in other states and the speed of the internet. And now, I have been making 9, 000 to 12, 000 Naira every day
They don’t ask for picture, just a name, address and description of the place.
In this time of recession, this thing has helped me a lot and I felt like sharing to others too.
Here’s a link to the submission form if you are interested:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScJ9YlYcyjV6jgQSedku51NG6zHFE5qsVs72rglgciFmakMtA/viewform

Here’s a link to their website: https://sites.google.com/hotels.ng/spotsngupload/

You guys had better delete the link to the excel sheet that contains the list of your so-called cool spots. So Mountain of Fire (MFM) Church is now a cool spot? And RCCG parishes, too? Along with the list of hospitals and other agencies there? Haba!

As if that was not enough, the list of all the people who submitted info on those places, along with their full names and bank account numbers, are also clearly displayed on the same sheet. To achieve what, gwanu? Haven't you guys ever heard of confidentiality before? What if those accounts get hacked? Chai! E be like say dem never sue una before, that is why you chaps are so careless with information that should be kept away from public domain!! _mtcheew

The above are built with stabilized laterite here in cross River state. The builder works nationwide

Hi, are those stabilised laterite blocks mass produced, or are they moulded one-by-one from the laterite on ground, at the project site? Kindly confirm. And are each of those blocks mixed with cement, when they are being made?

Anago5000:
. I understand ur feelings brother. my advice for you is that you should spend less time on this forum hating on people that barely notice you think of the way to improve ur life bro .even if you are rich. you need more.invest ur time on something positive. stop hating.it kills

_(yawn)You mean you are still here? You are talking about hate, when everyone can see that the hatred is actually coming from your own end. Guy, I know this is your style of seeking attention, but I am not in the mood to indulge your childish antics today. Oya, run to that corner and sit down quietly to watch your cartoons, like a good little toddler!

Qualer:
so in your deluded excitement, you didn't realise that the people in the pictures you posted are igbo people!!??

Igbo men wearing agbada with aso-oke cap? Tell another lie, abeg. How come they were not wearing the Isi-agu and wrapper? I must commend those Yoruba chaps sha, they surely know how to rock their attires, well.....

Anago5000:
. I don't even have time for poor church rats.I will let this slide.but one thing is sure ,you will meet ur waterloo sooner or later.you spend about 22hrs a day on this forum hating on people that doesn't even know of ur existence. you need a job.I can offer you one if you want.just pm me ur CV.its done

You?? Offer 'who' a job?? Me?? Hehehe..... I laugh in Spanish. Is this another attempt to show how broke you are? Is that why you are seeking unnecessary attention, at this hour? Abeg, it is too early in the day to make tasteless jokes, pls. Even if I do not work for another 10 years, the investments I have made would continue making me rich.

But your own case is different. If not for the small change IPOB was throwing your way, poverty would have scattered your main frame. That is why you want to die on top their matter. Abeg, swerve!!

Anago5000:
. there you go again.all this church rats self

May you continue to have nightmares, whenever my name is mentioned! Oya, say Amen....

omenkaLives:
Dont sound as though it is impossible. If these people start building bridges and stop seeing everyone as their enemies, and quit their confrontational way of politicking but engage their counterparts with tact and respect and dignity, not thinking they could bully their way through their problems, we could see an Igbo president as early as 2023.

Nothing is impossible.

Bros, na true word you talk. Here, take-five. Collect one chilled bottle from Mama Onoja's stall down the road! All drinks are on me...

Deseo:
At least they are willingly writing it for free and it gives them joy, it's different from being underpaid when it's done for money.

Na true you talk, jare!

Virgohills:
You guys should actually check the link before jumping to conclusions. Nobody is asking for article from anybody. All you need to do is send the name of a popular destination, the address and a description through a form.

Alright, how will they know the name, address and description of such cool spots if they do not visit those places? Will they get the info., via telepathy, when they are NOT psychic? Did you factor transportation or logistic costs to such spots, into your 200 naira?

lionlamb020:
Lol. Later we go talk say corruption dey

I no know say you sef, don see am!

100 open heart surgery? well I don't know why I find this incredible

Well, it depends on how many operating theatres, cardiologists, heart surgeons and other medical staff they have on board, as well as how affordable their surgical operations are.

In most public hospitals, there is a long waiting list of patients scheduled for surgery but unable to undergo such procedures due to lack of equipment, inadequate resources and unavailable specialists. So some of those patients might end up going to places such as Babcock if all those things are available.

If they have done 100 surgeries so far, well they should keep up the good work. What I am more interested in, is the success rate of those surgical operations. Have they recorded 80% success, 50% or 20%?

lionlamb020:
Op do you mean I would write 20 articles to get 4k

TosineGuy:
my article is worth more than 4k abeg

Bros, they call this kind of thing - 'slave labour.' Hehehe....that 200 naira per article may not even cover your cost of transport to the so-called cool spot, or the food, snacks & drinks you would buy there in order to conduct an assessment of their offerings, at such a spot. Neither does it cover the MB of data you would use to upload the info. on their site. Yet they expect you to submit 20 of such articles. Multiply your transport fare to 20 places, then divide it by that 200 naira. These people, sef! They want you to use your income, to sustain their own business.

Cunny man die, cunny man bury am!

teechudleyy:
Lemme just from this here. Twist of fate, Abhi and Pragya kidnap has become way too emotionally distressing. I'm tuning off for my own well being. I'm just tired.

No mind dem! How can the story of their kidnap still be dragging after 8 episodes?? Enough, already. Their scriptwriters have lost the plot.

misskrishi:
im done!!!! these days therz no series tt i even like...young dreams had potential bt nw thy ae jst focusing on tt stupid fresher competition lyk who cares tt shld hv bn for one day bt nw ts close to two weeks!!! i want the juicy stories of young marriages tt attracted m....and dnt gt me startd on twist fate im lik seriously who gts recaptured again nd again thy escape in th city end up in jungle lik abhi z a rockstar f he jst stepped in front a car nd askd fr a ride everyone wld recognize him end of story nd wher z th paparazzi the groupies so noone sw thm walkin nooooo this stupidly insane i wish i was on a group or thread wt th real indians who watch this mayb i myt ask thm if they love this stupid stories or thy ar fed up lik m

Shey, you dey mind dem? In fact, if there was an award for most nauseating series on ZEE World, Twist of Fate would win first prize. Abhi & Pragya have been captured and recaptured like 5 times, that it has not only become irritating, but a total turn-off. While Aaliyah & Tanu keep getting away successfully with their evil plans. I mean, does the law of karma not exist anymore? How can such silly schemes thrive day after day, for so long?

U are d one dats ignorant. Comparing experiment to examination. That picture u put up should b for u not me. And u don't knw me and I don't know u. U can say wat ever u like about my result. It's ur mb. Fact is, I know wat I graduated with. Good night

It is very possible, very very possible. BUT there don't seem to be much experience people who know how to building using red brick. I have always nursed the idea of using red bricks to build house at 50% cut off on current concrete blocks.

A lot of our old houses were built using mud, including story buildings that are still in existence today. You wouldn't know they are mud houses except they tell you. But why would Nigerian neglect using it just shows the sickening bandwagon mentality that has eating us all. Most of the things we do is BECAUSE other people are doing it, not because it is right or because we BENEFIT any visible thing. Most people use Toyota because it is very common as lot and lots of other Nigerians are using it. Do you know that Nissan is cheaper and as rugged as Toyota, even Volks Passat?

When I look at the westerner we like to imitate for every damn thing, come and see what they magically do with red bricks. Search the internet and beautiful houses built using red bricks but here we like to feel pompous.

You are so-oo right! In fact, with all the universities that we currently have, I would have expected them to conduct more research into how to make stabilised mud bricks stronger and safer for use, in addition to how to mass produce such blocks for affordable housing programmes.

State govts should start insisting on using these laterite bricks and mud blocks for mass hosing projects wherever possible, in order to popularise its use, and bring costs down. They should also partner with organisations like Nigerian Building and Road Research Institute (NBRRI), Nigerian Institute of Building (NIOB), Nigerian Institute of Architects (NIA) etc, in order to train artisans, builders, brick layers & others on standard best building practice, so they can acquire relevant skills in construction of houses using stabilised laterite bricks and mud blocks.

Sanchez01:
This is just the height of confusion. One minute you represent an entire people in saying you want to pull out, the next, you represent this same people by telling the world you are mapping out plans to producing a head of your extraction.

You don't represent a people in this manner

I don talk say I no go laugh today, but.....

Anago5000:
. ask around. I don't make empty threat.jukwaese

You talk too much! Oya, flood the forum....with pictures like you threatened!

Anago5000:
. its really a pathetic situation my dear. if you check very well.you will notice that the poor dumbskull is still living with his parents instead of hustling to meet up with his mate in life.all he does is sniffing around looking for where Igbo is mentioned. then you will see the best of him.anyway I don't take him serious.I know for sure he is going to realise his mistake soon and I hope he does that on time before nemesis catches up with him.he is just a kid who happens to have access to internet

Eeyah! This matter is really giving you high blood pressure. Maybe, you are the one still living with his parents, which is why you think every other person does the same thing. If you need money to rent a place of your own, try being polite in your speech. I might decide to throw some coins in your direction. Hehehehe..... Now get back to doing what you know how to do best - which is ranting over any post that Laudate makes.

Anago5000:
. see boy,nobody takes you serious.at least not me.but one thing am going to assure you is that the bast*rd behind this handle will be exposed to the forumite very soon.I will flood this forum with ur picx so that everybody will see the popular Igbo hater.I have done this to many forumite here

Let me clap for you! Didn't I say you were jobless before? Anyway, I don't blame you. I blame the person who dashed you that China-made phone that you are using to type rawbish on this thread. Flood this forum with pictures, o! I give you 24 hours to do so. Anuofia!

Anago5000:
. I know of course that you can never admit ur hatred towards the Igbo nation .you even hate the Igbo nation more than the Libyan herdsmen killing and maiming ur kinsmen.I just hope that you repent from this before nemesis catches up with you.we have even seen greater Igbo hater on this forum but guess what .they are no more today.you don't just pick up hatred on people who have never done anything against the interest of ur tribe.its not fair.you have never agreed with the Igbo's politically, economically, religiously ,culturally and otherwise. and yet you are saying that you don't hate the Igbo nation.my brother,lemme tell you.do you know that the Igbo nation have a thousand reason to hate other tribe in Nigeria.especially those who killed 3million of them.that's enough reason to hate other tribe by igbos

Chimo! You mean you are still here ranting? Guy, I do not hate the Igbos. I hate IPOB and its foot soldiers who preach the gospel of hate, insults and venom against other ethnic groups, using their tool of propaganda. Get it? If that offends you, I really can't be bothered.

But wait o, is there a law that says I must "agree with the Igbo's politically, economically, religiously ,culturally and otherwise?" Is that what is bothering you? ROFLMAO. So my lack of support for Nd'Igbo is what is getting you worked up. Bia, stop developing high blood pressure over any little thing I say. Otherwise, you may just collapse. _(yawn)

Yes Thomas Edison failed because he was experimenting not siting for an exam. Who is the idiot now. U that's comparing experiment and writing exam mtweeee

Now I can see that your problem is simply ignorance. I am sure if anyone takes a look at your results, you are one of those who led from the rear.

Nigerian rapper Ms. Chief has broken out from her girl-next-door style after going topless for her new song, ‘Skushi’.

The rising musician said the images symbolize her inner strength and the willingness to shine in the fast-growing Nigerian music industry.

Other Nigerian musicians who have gone topless to promote their studio work include Darey Art Alade and Mo’Cheddah.

‘Skushi’ drops on Friday, February 24.

Stupidity at its' peak! A good song will always sell, you don't need to strip to flaunt it. When 'God Win' by Korede Bello became a hit, did he strip before it got into the consciousness of Nigerians??

I did not want to comment before but ur excellent write up made me, people are just telling her trash that she does nt need the result bla bla bla, babe u were in school for a reason, that's to achieve a good result, u are a disappointment. Na her parent I just dey pity for.

I guess you have never failed before at anything in your life? As an inventor, Thomas Edison made 1,000 unsuccessful attempts at inventing the light bulb, before he became succesful. I really don't want to call you an idiot, but....

Hey! OP...

You can never loose your esteem while serving others, you loose it when you try to impress and you fail....

See, try and be grateful for every moment of life...no matter how bad it is...

The truth is life is better when you are on top as per career wise ...It quickens the journey with speed but mehn no two destiny paths Looks alike, you cant work another persons life path and expect to arrive at your destination... If for any reason that happens, you will always be an alternative to the original ... Live your own legacy.

Your experience will count for you cos it will toughen you up and help shapen your perspective to life.

You are the best and no class of degree can determine the outcome of your pursuit... It is your thought class and the richness of the values embedded in your mind that will help you to advance and exceed expectations.

I look forward to you coming back here to give an amazing story about your exploits during that extra year.

When is speak to you, My values don't reflect my Grade class, rather my thought class.

#MakeGodYourFriend - Let Holy spirit guide you always and always.
#TakeResponsibilty
#ServeOthersWithYourValues - Church/Fellowship /NGO is a good place to start.
#BePresentable - always look Good.
#SpeakPositiveAffirmationAlways - Get Lanre Olusholas Series, You will love it.
#BeYou - Identify downers around you and eliminate/ neutralize their influence.

Well said!! I wish I could dash you 1 million likes for this profound truth. Sorry, I had to edit your post as it was rather long, but every bit was worth its weight in gold.

I know a lot of people who graduated with a 2.1 or 2.2 degree but are currently doing something totally different from what they studied in school and are making good money from it. The first question you need to ask is "What is my assignment on earth? What purpose was I sent here to fulfil?" Next question: "What are my talents and how can I maximise it to fulfil my assignment, serve humanity and improve myself?"

Once you have done that, you get a clear vision of your purpose and path in life, then the sky is your limit!

Fellow Nairalanders,please I need your help.I'm a seventeen year old guy in secondary school,a boarding one at that but I have a problem,the fear to talk to girls or associate with them.I'm the gentle type but I'm always scared to just talk to a girl.And it really affects me.There was a time I and a girl were chosen for competition.As we were being questioned,I couldn't even ask for her opinions before answering because of the fear.Please what are your opinions and way out to this?Thanks.

Does this look like the romance section or health section of NL, to you? Or are you just being deliberately mischievous by posting a non-related comment on a thread like this one?

swagifted:
This article was originally posted in 2013, just incase you cared to notice.

But a lot of the points raised in it, from beginning till date are still quite valid. Cost of cement has gone up, yet alternative building methods are NOT being explored. And the housing deficit in Nigeria exceeds 17 million houses annually. What is the way forward? we need to keep debating and searching for viable solutions, in order to make progress.

Godspikin:
About the issue of water going into the building... that is not possible with our bricks because it has deeper groove than the bricks produced with the hydraform machine from South Africa, this is so because challenges and experience has helped us in redesigning and we are still hoping to improve on what we have presently...

Depper grooves ensures more interlocked setting, which makes it difficult or rather impossible for such to happen....

See grooves on brick and image of building below...

How much are your bricks presently? And how many of your bricks would be equal in size to a 9-inch normal sandcrete block?

If there is no laterite at the project site, can you make the blocks at your own end and deliver to the site?
