I pray she survives it and go on to live a normal life.

Of course she would survive it. It is not trial and error.The doctors knows exactly what they are looking for before electing to do it

Seun:
Guys who own cars have also learnt a lot about how to get wives from this post.

Hahahaha. So true
Wait o Seun, why not use this strategy as no one may know you as the multimillion dollar man. I can see through you bro. Marriage is on your mind but the choice is becoming harder.

Treasuredlove:
aww...if only I had seen this earlier. Yomi casual is one of the best

I am sorry. I really don't know how I got to your post. But I found myself checking your profile and saw the fashion post.

Seem you are already learning somewhere else. Yes, with Yomi Casual, you can break into celeb fashion

warribloood:
my parents thinks am not good enough.. fact is They are ashamed of me... They say am weak.. disappointed.. especially my dad.. comparing me with other people's children wishing They were me.. Because am different.... though have recently let them down... but i know one day... it's all about making the money.right. i will get it soonest not later. Even If it means on my last breath

YOU are getting it wrong. It is not about money. They just want you to be focused in whatever you are doing. How do you plan to make money soonest? That is why they don't envy your thoughts and ways. You need change

mofeoluwadassah:
Hmn.....re u sure u bought her a car

Many people do. But that's because I have the resources combined with a giving heart. But not a big deal if a guy don't have the resources...it does come a different times in a man's life. Giving is fun and should not be forced anyway. Some people totally lack the spirit of giving especially our leaders. And you should give without unnecessary demand in return.

mofeoluwadassah:
lol.....so u've spent millions on a lady.how?

lol..but its true. Buy her a car

mofeoluwadassah:
Jxt tell her ur mind nd see hw she ll react

Abi! Too many talk here. Maybe na small money the OP Don even spend. Men like us that have spent millions don't even say.

Treasuredlove:
Hi, please does anyone know of a good fashion school in portharcourt with maybe hostel facilities or accomodation options?

Yomi Casual should be able to help

I don't think She like the ex.

Such malice are frustrating. I think I can do it

AlphaT1:
I just asked my surgeon friend on WhatsApp.

I actually decided not to reply again because your tone is a little bit harsh. To be clear, your surgeon friend is more on my side than you. Only surgeon is thought to be different from Physicians. Isn't it funny your friend even added Non-MBBS position to the list of physicians? Like you I have excess to Physicians. My siblings and their wives are all doctors.

Physicians examine patients; take medical histories; prescribe medications; and order, perform, and interpret diagnostic tests. They counsel patients on diet, hygiene, and preventive healthcare. Surgeons operate on patients to treat injuries, such as broken bones; diseases, such as cancerous tumors; and deformities, such as cleft palates. Check US department of Labor :
http://www.bls.gov/ooh/healthcare/physicians-and-surgeons.htm

So from the foregoing, Gynecologists could also mean physician, so are others except Surgeons. Right? So who is more correct between you and I? You specifically refer physicians as a trained consultant in internal medicine before you started shifting ground.

About Nairaland, I owe a lot to it. I have taken a lot from here and I have given lots to it. But that is your friend's cup of tea. Do you really know we could gather here and change the course of governance even up to presidential ticket if we agree?

AlphaT1:
If you are a good student or someone who wants to learn I told you earlier that even though the term physician is often used to refer to all doctors or medical practitioners, it not true in real sense. All Physicians are Specialists bt not all Specialists are Physicians.
West African college of physicians (WACP) here http://www.wac-physicians.org.......internal medicine, family medicine, community medicine, n paediatrics make up d college.
Also check out the West African postgraduate medical college at (www.wapmc.org), click on college of physicians and learn more.

No I do not agree with you. Any Specialist is a physician in a loose statement. That is why you have Physician Assistant, PA( You will know exactly what that is since you studied in US). Do you mean to tell me PA only serve your mentions specialist. You are the one dancing around not me. You previously said Physicians are internal medicine specialist alone and later extend it to group of specialists. I am telling you everyone one of them can loosely be called physicians and PA serves all of them. Capiche? lol

Most importantly, if you knew these are debatable especially from region to region, why then did you call me layman or you thought I was a pushover? A layman knows nothing, doesn't understand anything! So be selective of your words. That is my only advice.

[quote author=AlphaT1 post=51629402][/quote]Now you should take a look at the Royal College of Physicians. A larger body that that of West African.

https://www.rcplondon.ac.uk/join

The screenshot below are all those who can join. Why would they join if they can't be call physicians?

[quote author=AlphaT1 post=51629402][/quote]I see you are already extending the definition of your physician. Interesting...

AlphaT1:
I have not accepted any limitation. I still maintain that u quote Wikipedia at ur own peril. I was only educating you that though the words are used interchangeably here in Nigeria, there is a difference. Physicians in real sense are specially trained doctors (post MBBS) in internal medicine. I don't know what you studied nor which school you graduated from but you should open ur mind to new ideas or stuff u thought u knew. It will help you add knowledge.

will tell you the school I went to. I have acquired degrees in Africa, Europe and North America. I have a PhD degree and I am an academics.

We are the people that easily tell you not to cite wikipedia in academic papers. We have our reasons: articles could be updated and may not contain the information you cited and it shows you are lazy as every subject can be found on Wikipedia.

However, wikipedia is not a bad source. This is no academic papers. Wikipedia would easily guide you to the true academic papers you wants at the bottom references. With wikipedia, you can understand background to your subject and can further your researches from there. That is what we advise our students to do.

I have been more systematic is reaching my conclusion. I have directed you to a wikipedia source and can point more to you. On the other hand, you have shown me nothing. All talk, no substance. We don't deal that way.

You must agree that these words are used interchangeably in Nigeria and many other places. On this premise, you lack the merit to call me layman like there wasn't sense in what I have said

Even in the places you mentioned, physicians are still used loosely. Government officers have personal physicians which are not necessarily internal medicine specialist, there are family medicines expert, Gynaecologist up to pediatrics. So what are you saying?

AlphaT1:
For you to quote Wikipedia for me lol, you really have work to do...pls read books and ask questions. Don't ever make d mistake of quoting Wikipedia in any academic environment.
Though physicians and medical practitioner can be used interchangeably especially in Nigeria n USA, u can't even do that in Australia and new Zealand. Physicians are experts in internal medicine..

My friend, Wikipedia is constantly verified and to a large extend they are good source. Show me one wikipedia post that is inaccurate and I will show you five faulty cademic papers. Not on simple definition like physician. Thank God you have accepted your limitation. I was referring to Nigeria beca use that is our context of discussion.

Kingbuhari:
I need not to insult you bcux u have already done that to ur miserable self... do I tell you in urgency one does not need physician assistant, without Jesus those physicians work are in futile... Jesus is the unseen physician who does all the magic while doctors are used to manifest the goodness of his work physically, u seriously need Jesus in ur life and may he decline ur calls when u needed him most

Even when you say the truth, I am quite discomforted at your mentality. Don't push this out. That is not how Nations are built. God gave physicians knowledge and the material resources to promote health. Do I need to the number of people that have died just by refusing to see physicians because of their faith?

Omonoba1:
won't waste my time on someone who thinks he knows all.. probably others will enlighten you. and for your information, I don't need to ask around because its my profession..

He doesn't know what he is saying yet he is quick to calling names. Forgive him as I have

AlphaT1:
Lol. You are indeed a layman. Not all doctors are physicians. Physicians are specialists just like gynaecologists and others.

Oh my Gosh! Are you really sure about this. Take a look at Wikipedia :

thorpido:
If it's a simple illness you buy drugs and treat yourself.If it's something more serious,you have specialists in differents areas of medicine.You simply consult one in the area you need e.g if you are a gynaecologist and you are sick,you could consult a colleague who is a physician.
Sometimes you could consult a senior colleague too.

Lol but all doctors are physicians. I was thinking you were going to name another specialist department away from gynaecology

omowolewa:
Doing great.

I thought it will take Trump another 6month to appoint his aids then come up with long list of Uncles and Kinsmen.

His appointment is an indication that Nigeria has great minds but are not close to her seat of powers. Economy goes beyond paddyism nepotism.

You think he isn't close to seat of power in Nigeria. Ogunlesi has been consulting for Nigeria government for a long time. He was advisor to Obasanjo. He has so much on his hand that he cannot accept full administrative position in Nigeria.

He is currently worth $6B dollars and may well be richer than Dangote. He is the owner of London Gatling Airport. The second largest airport in England after Heathrow.

dickoflife:
its a lie... no need fir the 20k... just go home and retrieve ur application with the ds 160 code u already have and reschedule

hahahhahha. Just imagine that fraud. 20k? But do you think this guy filled his DS-160 himself? Do you think he knows his most recent code? The embassy has warned him against creating another DS-160. I just hope he does the right thing which its actually very simple

HtwoOw:
This one escape petrol and fire

Hin juju still work

This is a welcome development that he wasn't burnt like the others

EastGold:
I am against 2nd term for any governor.


If you want to know the rationale behind my stand, evaluate the performance of Fashola in his first tenure and compare it with that of his second tenure


Carry out the same evaluation in Ondo, evaluate the performance of Mimiko in his first tenure with that of his second term.

Even with second tenure ahead, many governors still mess up their first term knowing well their performance may enhance their re-election. Now, think of when there will be nothing to look up to. Then, all first tenure will all be like the disaster second tenure.

I will only touch the water if Mbong Amata were in the water

DarkRebel101:
When Chaerephon went to inquire from the Pythian oracle at Delphi whether Socrates was the wisest man in Athens or not, the oracle asserted that Socrates was indeed the wisest man in not just Athens but in all of Greece.

But when Socrates caught a whiff of Chaerephon's exploits, he withstayed the pronouncement of the oracle. He said he wasn't wise and had never felt wise in his entire life. And in order to disprove the oracle, he – Socrates – sallied forth to have debates and symposiums with many of Athens' keenest minds: the rhetoricians, the Sophists, the politicians, the renowned artisans, etcetera.

After much debates with these people, Socrates discovered that they weren't really wise and that they in fact held high pretensions to knowledge -- yet they were who society saw as monoliths of wisdom. To worsen matters, they weren't even aware that they were shrouded in ignorance.

Then Socrates realized that perhaps there was some sliver of plausibility in the Oracle's words. Because even though he didn't think he knew anything, he was certain and fully aware of his ignorance, unlike the so-called intelligentsia of Athens.

This led him to say:

“I know that I know nothing” — Socrates in Plato's Apology

So, Mr. Mayflora, inasmuch as I would love nothing more than to be bedizened with the dainty laurels of wisdom, I cannot accept the honors because just like Socrates whom I greatly admire and extol, I do not believe that I am wise. What I am is an ordinary thinking reed.

I hope you enjoyed the little history lesson?

lol. This just confirm your wisdom. Man should know thyself. Only this morning I saved some URL highlighting some philosophers and their works Socrates, Plato and Einstein inclusive, I am perplexed you already know their history. You deserve some pat on the back.

cococandy:
Thank you

You just thanked badejob for exactly the character trait we want nurses to display here in Nigeria without excuse of any sort. Is it too much to ask? Of course people and the system will frustrate you but a core professional with a grain of empathy will always show care.

I am not a nurse, I have had over 1000+ post on my 6year on nairaland. Could you please check if you found any of my post insulting or derogatory to people here. Even when I am insulted directly, I still find a way to pass my message politely or just let go. This is hard but its a winning character trait

DarkRebel101:
Classic three-point profile of the typical Black man: play the blame-game, play the blame-game, and play the blame-game some more.

The Nigerian educational system is equally a Bermuda Triangle of unprintable tragedies. So don't blame your children when they fail in school or when they can't read or write fluently. Rather you should give them a pat on the back and impute all blame to the Government.

Bollocks to all the nurse apologists. People with your kind of mindset are why the African race as a whole are forever going to be playing catch-up to their European counterparts.

You are so wise. I like you

cococandy:
20% of 100k Naira can't even buy you a bag of rice.

Is that one salary? Tell me how the person can afford decent housing. Much less kids schools fees feeding and the rest.

It's less than $300. Even Walmart employees make more than that about 1-2 weeks.

Our system is in shambles let's not sugarcoat it.

I do not doubt what you have said. Times are really hard in Nigeria especially with the galloping inflation. True, I earn twice more as a Graduate Assistant in US than I do as a federal senior staff in Nigeria. But my one month housing also cover one year housing bills in Nigeria. I also do not pay $100+ insurance monthly for owning a car as I do here. Generally living index in US is still far far better off.

However, my statement was in comparison of nurses' salaries to their corresponding entry level staff in same federal govt Ministry job which is 58k. State is even less. In my state, Edo, it is 35k for entry level graduate. On same scale, nurses are way better off than many workers and they should be thankful for it.

If two people who earn 100k+ in Nigeria get married and pool their resources together, they won't really suffer except they are extravagant. Even 100k+ for a single nurse is enough to live well. In Nigeria, my bag of rice lasts me more than 10 months. Or do you want to blame the Government instead of the people who decided to give birth to numerous children and live their lives tolling for their kids? US peeps give birth to one or two children. Have you seen a couple or mother with one child suffer?

Nigeria will never save even in recession. I still see extravagant marriages every Saturday? Like what can change our lifestyle? seriously? It is until we die?

Toks2008:
Many hot chics tend to believe they are just too desired by many men hence the difficulty in taking the risk to be faithful to one guy but then what is her gain if she starts jumping from one man to another or keeping string of guys and in the process making a total mess of her beauty.
What is the value of your beauty if Tunde, Paul,Richard....can describe your interior dimensions?

It is indeed laughable when a lady feels so arrogant because she has so many guys wanting to be with her because the truth is that a hundred guys may woo you in one week and none of them will be really interested in keeping you but just to have their way with you and move on.

The honest fact is that if a lady feels she is too hot to be faithful to one guy then she must be ready to be shared by many men...in other words,she practically becomes a slut.

No other alternative.

But it goes both ways. So why are men spared?
