My people, properties acquired with dirty money will end up in flames or ruins.


You cannot be a good person, a child of God who help people, pay tithe, give alms and doesn't shed innocent blood, and experience this calamity in this hard time.

God is not wicked and unjust.

Then you don't know the God you talk about. What about Job! Temporary loss is not unusual with God. It tests your stand with Him. In everything, give thanks. Which is better, burnt car or fatal accident? The kogi dead Minister would hAve opted for a burnt car, office and his house!

Sorry for her, just an ABNORMALITY called megalomastia.....

She needs mammoplasty. The fats can be directed to her buttocks.

Na wa for you o. Direct this kind of fat to her butt. That butt will be something else and would be another trouble. Can't the fat be burnt or eliminated.

I wasn't blaming the nurses , I blame the whole system from top to bottom. The officer who is charged with procurement or facilities probably wants to finish his 4 X 4 Flat in Igando in 2 years all from his civil servant salary so of course why wont gloves, toilet paper, antibacterial gel etc. disappear from the Wards.

Its just sickening how people can be so greedy when it comes to Human Life. And it makes it even sickening that our leaders who by the way get flown abroad for ear ache see how its done and wont want just a fraction of these for their citizenry. No one is talking about over flowing CT and MRI scans but just the basics , the basics at the level of primary healthcare. The citizenry also have some blame as well but before we get to attitude lets focus on providing infrastructure( or even maintaining and upgrading those already there) Guys and St Thomas hospital was built in the 15th century and is still standing today as a modern hospital by any standard and same can be said for so many hospitals in the UK. No one is saying build thousands of brand new hospitals. I know lagos state has a wide range of health centres and hospitals in different local government areas .Just upgrade the services and invest in infrastructure so we wont be hearing things like ' Only this hospital has a dialysis machine' in the whole of Oyo state. and then you would need to know one big wig or pay big bucks to get priority.

I just get annoyed talking about it.

Rightly said. Hospital infrastructures and character rank paripassu. But I would deal in character ahead of infrastructures. Many healthcare nurses go to villages with nothing to volunteer their service and yo need to see the warmth in their smile always. Always soothing. It costs nothing to be nice, polite and friendly

Airforce1:
Give them job

Job doesn't stop prostitution. Even the greatest countries have more prostitutes on their street and there are even hind end prostitutes

TheArchangel:
I am telling you how to survive if you ever find yourself in a Nigerian hospital. I have been there and I'd rather work in an office than be part of any Nigerian hospital. The thought of working in such environment irks me cos no matter how you strive not to be like others their bad influence will rub off on you somehow.
Take it or leave it or even crucify me but please when going to a hospital load up with cash.

Is this the Nigeria you intend to sustain? bribing people in order to motivate them for a job they are paid to do?

Richy4:
Please don't tell me you are a nurse too....Because the attitude you are portraying here would be a world class in any Nigerian Government hospital.....Are you trying to tell me that in their job description it was not stated what they were in for?....That you have to pay extra to smile, talk politely and show compassion to someone in pains?...Even if Nigeria is a Zoo, I have watched where animal takes care of their own kind. if you doubt me check youtube..you will be amazed how kind hearted some of those animals where....I have never heard anyone ever thought of buying kindness..... it is an inborn thing...it comes from within...You cannot force it...Every thing must not be money dear...

Unfortunately those nurses found themselves in that profession....they would have been better off in a construction Company....where they will have no basic or minimal contacts with human....

Construction company? They don't even come close. I am a professional engineer both in US and in Nigeria. The amount of communication, teamwork and care that we show ourselves and our clients up to the materials we work it is unsurpassed. There is what we call elastic limit in materials. So we don't over stretch metals so as not to break them. we are love ourselves!

@Gracious10
The easiest thing to show is care! You don't have to be a nurse to show it. It costs you nothing! But for nurses, it is expected of you to show abundance of care.

As per salary, nurses receive on of the best salary package in federal and state institutions . A federal ministry entry level starts with N58,000 be you an engineer, accountant or microbiologist. Entry level Nurses starts with more than 100k. So I don't know how nurses are treated unfairly.

If you say they learnt from their older colleagues, I will understand but that is no excuse because we should correct the bad norms of the past. More so, this is love-driven profession.

HaneefahRN:
Seriously?!

The way some Nigerians reason ehn. A woman will attend ante -natal for 9 good months (for those that are even regular) but come on delivery day without even a single pin! How frustrating can that be? Are they to deliver her with their bare hands, or cover the baby with leaves or even buy what she needs for her from their own salaries? Tips will be given during ante-natal o how to go about buying the requirements bit by bit till delivery date but many clients will still present without even a pin, maybe one wrapper.
Then they react and people call them rude and uncompassionate

Buy why will the hospital management wait till the last minute to get these patients stuff together? Why will they ask them for glove and dettol? That is poor management. Why not charge them those fees as you did during card taking so you had provide those essentials stuff. The essentials should not be left in the hand of patients

Richy4:
I think I agreed with the OP....I have encountered them myself and I did not like what I saw....

I paid my elder sister a visit one day... she worked with one of the Government Hospital in Abuja...

On getting there, I discovered a lady was almost in labour because blood was coming out from....u know where.....But to my surprise, she was asked by the nurses to keep walking up and down the corridor of the maternity ward ...They were angry with her because they felt she should have known the rules of getting things ready based on the anti-natal preaching and teachings and that besides, it was not her first child ...She was expected to come with things like Dettol, soap, hand glove etc. since delivery was free of charge, she was expected to get those things for her own use....so they sent one of her relatives to go and get those things...

I couldn't stand there watching, I was kinda upset with my sis....She was like.. what do you want me to do? do you want me to use ordinary hand to deliver the baby...what are we going to use to clean him/her up after delivery..I was like are u telling me that in this big hospital, they got none of those things that you people required for the delivery?...As we were just talking, two of her colleague walked in and asked my sister why I was upset, she told them I was expecting her to use her hands to deliver that lady....To my surprise, both of the nurses started laughing.....one said.. do u expect this Hausa people to know and understand anything?

To cut a long story short, they delivered the woman of a baby girl using the spare gloves and other things they found in the hospital before those relatives of hers came due to my discomfort and persuasion..... This is just one out of the numerous lack of empathy I have seen Nigerian Nurses display....I have been to South African Government Hospital, I have been to Australian Government funded Hospital...It was not like that...You only get a good customer service by a Nigerian nurse if it was a Private hospital because they know that they can be fired at anytime..

Thank you for confirming and sharing your experience. I have encountered many nurses neglects and aggression in Nigeria public hospitals like they are the one paying their patients. It is time we started talking about it and take the profession to its glory days of empathy.

joceey:
The teacher went too far for bring out blood from the girl head but als You people are just looking at things from one angle the teacher was teaching and she was busy coping note can't she wait after school and take the note home to copy.If she is not responding well the parent will say the teachers are not teaching them well..

This is no reason to flog anyone on the head. Just a teacher's command will make her put the book out of place. Then ask that in the next 10 minutes of your teaching, she would need to answer question to elicit her attention which will affect her test score if she misses it.

Don't say it is easier said than done because I am a university lecturer and no one student will say anything against me. I consistently top their top lecturer.

The school management is even worse than the teacher. I dont know why people give pastors so much money to pen schools. This is the biggest scam in Nigeria. My mum's pastor won't stop asking my mum money. All I work hard to give her monthly goes into the pastor's pocket. Anyways, they ought to join the school management and the Pastor in the legal suit and sue for damages in Millions. That is bodily harms. It is not taken for granted in the court of law.

Njideka doing what she is good at while Zahra buhari is rushing into marriage without any tangible achievement



Northerners taking us back to stone age daily

Njideka is married too. Didn't you see her last name? Does marriage stop anyone from reaching to the sky?

yetseyi:
Not just nurses, a sizeable amount of the health workers in a our general hospitals are inconsiderate and lack empathy.

Very common in government hospitals.

I want to look at it from another angle, an average Nigerian when placed in a position will naturally feel superior or not answerable to those he/she is to render service to, therefore it affects the primary reason why they got the job in the first place, which is to render service.

Its also the reason why we have poor customer service almost everywhere and unless there are strict sanctions or monitoring an average Nigerian (most Nigerians I think) may want to be lax in rendering the service he/she is being paid to do. I believe that apart from the renumeration this is also a reason why workers in private hospitals seem to be very efficient, there is a very high probability that If the same set of people get employed in a government setting with the same pay/working conditions their attitude will change and this is because its "government work" and there seems to be this belief that you can't get sanctioned easily.


Anyway I know someone who reported a particular doctor at a GH in Lagos to the authorities and he was cautioned seriously.

Customer service hasn't fair well in our country. From one sector to another, employees feel like the boss to the customer like he/she is doing you a favour of a sort. And he/she is ready to bark at you if you slight fail to cooperate which include monetary gratification. How long can we continue like this? My expectation is that Nurses should lead the pack in giving excellent services because of their training. They even had a course in workplace, nurses-patients communication. Did they forgot all they learnt or the humanity instinct that led them to being nurses?

babythug:
Just see what we are saying! The said "pains in your butt" ensure your salary is paid via their bills.
Another thing is how sure are we that you explained well enough for the patient to understand considering that half the time many nurses themselves don't know the right thing
No one forced you to take the job or profession for eg. You're expected to take care of these people cheerfully. You think sickness is fun

Well said. Once you are paid to do a job, you must make sure all getting your services must receive the best customer service as there can be!

tolugar:
Most patients are pain in d butt

If you explain 1 thing 100 times they will still do another.

It's worst medical job that leaves you depressed after work.

What will patients do exactly? They are sick and weak. You are to take charge. Workplace aggression is a misdemeanor.

I have been thinking about this for some time and I couldn't find any answer. Perhaps, nurses in the house could help us understand what is in Nigeria nurses' heads. Come to think of it, Nurses are the most compassionate persons you find in other climes. I have really traveled wide and I have met all kinds of nurses from home nurses to hospital nurses. They are cool, calm, loving, compassionate and full of empathy for their patients.

But in Nigeria hospitals, nurses don't only insult their patients, they go ahead to embarrass patients' visitor. They make you feel unwanted harshly, character trait widely different from what they were taught in nursing school. They are very quick to insult women on labour and mock them at any slight opportunity. After birthing, they hardly assist to take care of the infant.

It is hard time people started taking them to court to learn their work ethics. Has any patient here suffered in the hand of any nurses? Please share

diegwu01:
I remember the wailers jubilation over the the victory of Jegede over Jimoh Ibrahim few days ago,
Jimoh was stabbed on the back by the very party he founded in Ondo State. Wasnt surprised when he urged this over 5million supporters to vote for Aketi.

hahahaha. This is so funny. Over 5 million ko, over 5 million ni! Not up to 500,000 voted in Ondo as a whole. Did you see the numbers? Poor voter orientation is another bane we must fight in this country.

angelTI:
Imagine a thief feeling cool with himself

The guy can't even speak English; wonder what Toyin saw in him.

I am as surprised as you with the level of his written English. Can't he just find a media assistant to write for him?

They told us not to discriminate against them......We didn't...

See what they are usinq to pay us back....

OP....do yhu know you can sue her for the fact that She has knowledqe about her status and still insisted on skin to skin.....

Seriously.... She can be sued...

She needs to be sued and kept behind the bars to avert malicious spread to unsuspecting persons

Oyiboman69:
After all the suffer in school,one's chances of getting a job is very very slim. Useless country
Befor I go forget...my people, na me first reach here oo.

Who is going to create the jobs? It has to be you and me. That is why entrepreneurial course is now compulsory in school. You have to develop a start up and employ others likewise. That is the essence of education.

kenny1313:
one person go come tell me say go to school and become somebody....... All the guru for my department then in school are all teachers now. Abeg my children must get talent. education is losing its relevance.

These people have made their bed and so the sleep is good now. Nigeria bed is rumpled. You need education to develop technologically. So do yo mean we will never make our light bulb, we will never make fridge, tv and aircraft? You and others have to sacrifice their wealth for these achievement. Our next generation should reap our hardwork today

aalangel:
She caused her problems. She loved Maje to a fault. It's the duty of a man to love a woman not vice versa.

She should dedicate herself to God. Another man can still make her happy.

She should also stop pitying herself.

I thought love should be mutual in relationships and matriage and not weighted toward's one end. Where was your claim stated?

TINALETC3:
Young lady, obey dia law

Do you how many times the girl may have been dumped? Life is not fair bro

CecyAdrian:
Only 1 million naira?? What kind of man is that!!

The man is sick for asking for 1m

AleAirHub:
Hmmm.
Just 1m

the guy nor just try. this is a 50million naira case now. The lawyer himself must be very poor to agree to this. How much will he collect as legal fees?

Ginaz:
I pray God gives her strength to move on, I'm starting to like this woman. You won't know the hurts she has been through. Her eyes tells if you look closely. God be with you makiwa.

The story is an emotional masterpiece with good simplified diction. Understanding her plight really endeared her to me. I am gonna get the book and many more for young girls

Justnora:
Can this lady just move on and leave that man alone... the pity party has to come to an end

Did you read the story? It's a beautiful moving story every one especially young ladies have to learn from. But no! Nigerians forbid to read
