Hello Mintyx,
Thank you for your referral and recommendation kindly let's have your unit number to verify.

Thank you,
Shoptomydoor.com

Oh I didn't know you guys are here on Nairaland too. I will provide my unit number as an evidence I have made use of your service and here it is UNIT 4639.

I urge anyone who has questions to ask from the horses mouth since they are now here

I once wrote here on Nairaland on how to shop abroad and get it here in Nigeria using payonner MasterCard and so on but things have changed and i wish to update on the newer methods.

To shop in the USA, here are the main requirements:

- An internationally accepted MasterCard.
- A USA address that can deliver to Nigeria.

For MasterCard, a lot of Nigerian issued MasterCards are accepted on major USA sites. I have made use of GTbank Naira card as well as UBA Africard and i didn't have issues with them.


For a USA address, why you need this Address in the first place is because Some USA merchant sites don't ship directly to Nigeria so you'd need a company that is based in the USA that can issue you with a USA address so that when your orders or goods arrive, they can receive it and ship it to your Nigeria address.

I have made use of two companies for the USA address but let me talk on an indigenous company i discovered lately that is as swift as the foreign companies i used and even cheaper than the foreign counterparts.

The name of the company is SHOPTOMYDOOR.
This company gives a free USA and China address unlike others who charge about $10 or more to issue you one.
Their customer service is effective and efficient(you can even chat with them online).
Their charges per kg is one of the lowest i have used.
You can track your goods online from your dashboard once they receive and ship your goods.

You can register and get a free USA and china Address via this link:

HOW TO SHOP AND SEND YOUR GOODS NOW YOU HAVE A USA ADDRESS

-Once you use your card on Amazon or eBay to shop, on the checkout page, you will be asked to provide your shipping address,
-Enter the address given to you from shoptomydoor, as your shipping address.
-Once you track your goods with the tracking number amazon or any other merchant site gives and discover it has been delivered to your address,
-Log on to your shoptomydoor account and you will see your goods added to your member area with amount to pay either in dollars or in Naira depending on the currency you choose in your settings.
-You can then make payment either to their Nigerian bank account or via their PayPal account.
-your job is done here and its now their job to ship it to you.
-Once they ship your goods, they will keep you updated at every point in time on where your goods are via email.

Let me stop here so far. Its not easy to type this epistle oh lol but i will try and answer any questions as far as i can and add more tips and cheaper places to shop abroad.

Happy New month to you all.

here is a link to my old thread on this same issue https://www.nairaland.com/1418753/how-buy-things-us-get

She is simply dancing to her fellow widows...

Please to sell on Kaymu and Dealdey, do u have to be in Lagos to that too?

Concernguy:
You are a big fool cos they never said any one should pay any money as a matter of fact they setup even before a school pays. If you dont understand the English they do Service before Payment. So get your stupid castigating post to hell. Castrated Pig like you

This account @Concernguy was created the same day @Authentize account was created so i already know how u scammers operate and i'm not suprised.

I keep saying it to people who have ear, STAY AWAY IF YOU DONT WANT YOUR MONEY TO ENTER VOICE MAIL!!!

Authentize:
Very false information that you are posting. I was at Early Life Secondary School in Festac during their PTA Meeting Last Year December when the parent where been taught by Abiodun on how to check their Child result with the WebGuru School Model in order to know the authenticity of the product.

So if you think they are gifted in putting up fake website why not go to Early Life School 3rd Avenue Festac Town, Lagos and ask of Mrs Nwokeji Chinwe, She is the Vice principal Academics and ask her about the Webguru School Model or you login to the demo they provided to see for your self and stop posting false information here.

Their Website is www.earlylifeschools.org

Dont be decieved!!! Its possible ds @Authetize is d same poster using different moniker or the OP's patner in crime!!!

Before your money enters voicemail, dont say i didnt warn you!!!

This OP is an unrepentant scam artist!!! He is gifted in webdesigning and can easily churn out websites to scam people.

Dont you EVER even one naira into his account! Meanwhile if you know him personally and can assist with tracking him, the info will be welcomed!

In the second pic, he is droppin some s.h.it*!

Cases of tuberculosis are set to accelerate worldwide unless action is taken to curb diabetes, a chronic condition that weakens the immune system and triples the risk a person will develop the lung disease, health experts warned on Wednesday.

Tuberculosis (TB), which killed an estimated 1.5 million people last year according to the World Health Organization (WHO), is caused by bacteria that lie dormant in many people.

However, diabetics TB become sick from latent TB infection far more often than other people because their immune systems are compromised -- a fact that could unleash an epidemic of co-infection as diabetes rates soar along with growing obesity.

It is not the first time that the world has been confronted with such co-infection. The HIV/AIDS pandemic, which destroyed the immune systems of millions, lead to a quadrupling of TB rates in many countries in Africa.

Now doctors fear a re-run of that scenario as diabetes takes hold around the world, including in many poorer countries.

The big worry is that six of the top 10 countries projected to have the greatest numbers of diabetics by 2035 -- China, India, Brazil, Indonesia, Pakistan, and Russia -- are classified as high TB burden countries by the WHO.

Anthony Harries of the International Union Against Tuberculosis and Lung Disease told Reuters he was most concerned about India and China, since India has the world's highest TB rate, followed by China, while for diabetes China has the most cases, followed by India.

"We want to raise an alarm that we don’t watch history repeat itself with TB-diabetes,” he said.

Diabetes affected 382 million people in 2013 and will increase to a projected 592 million by 2035, according to the International Diabetes Federation.

Most of the cases will be of Type 2 diabetes, the kind that is linked to obesity and is driven by the adoption of Western diets and more sedentary lifestyles.

"If we don’t act now to head this off, we’re going to experience a co-epidemic of TB-diabetes that will impact millions and sap public health systems of precious resources. The key is to prevent this from happening,” Anil Kapur of the World Diabetes Foundation said.

While diabetes is not as great a co-infection threat as HIV, the virus that causes AIDS raises the risk of TB by thirty fold, there are about 10 times as many cases of diabetes in the world as people living with HIV, so the overall impact is similar.

A joint report from Harries' and Kapur's groups presented at an international lung conference in Barcelona sets out the case for international action against the looming co-epidemic.

The report challenges the conventional approach of tackling independently infectious diseases, like TB, and chronic non-communicable diseases, like TB.

Fighting the threat will need a clear strategy of screening both diabetes patients for TB and TB patients for diabetes, as well as providing treatments for both diseases, the report says. Such "bi-directional" screening is at present patchy.

Pls i will also need the input of the creator of this thread @mk8 on the book i wrote thanks

Zico0: As a buyer, when i saw the book, i thought it looks really perfect. If i had my paypal acct. set i could get a copy, but i'd need more details of the book before i made payment. So a question:
how does a buyer get a little more details of the book? Like an abstract.
As a colleague in the business, i thought that you restrict the market by using the word 'teens' and it might be the reason for poor sales.
Above all, i think that it'll take time for 'word' to go round about the book and it's generally up to chance. I strive to publish my first book at present and i also expect the latency of sales that you face.

Are you Lisa Moore?

Thanks So much. I tought as much too and delibrated about that "teen" issue but may re-edit the cover to remove it. Thanks again for beign constructive in ur criticismz

Hello Everyone, please i want the OP and other successful Kindle Pro to criticize this book constructively. Forget about the niche, i just want to know if the title is right or could have been done better and other things on the cover page and inside. it is my first book and no sales yet..

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NLO7FAK

Also, must the book stay up to a month since it is my first to run a free promo on it or how do i go about scheduling it now.

Hello everyone, please has anyone used .org coupons lately? the ones i got via google dont seem to work

sCun: looking a the pic below, it is 100% clear that Sheriff was part of the team WELCOMING Jonathan not part of the Presidential entourage. So the Presidency's version of him actually being in Chad before the is true.
www.nairaland.com/attachments/1688634_eddee_jpeg1f1ac8353b0dae96fa690440fb5bbfa0

And after welcoming, he sat with him inside the Chadian presidents office discussing National issues?

Even a Monkey will not belive this lie!

mk82: You will attract writers as long as your conditions are fair. Some jobs start getting applications within a few hours while some take a few days. It's dependent also on the availability of writers in the niche.
Compare your job post with others in the same category.

Thanks so much. i will try maybe editing it again and see wat happens... #so greatful!

Pls @Op or any one experienced with Odesk, i hv registered with them and verified my acct too. I have also posted a job with a fixed price and yet to attract writers! Is dia any trick to attracting writers faster?

Fernandez01: First of all , mls deal with human secretion/waste products and contagions present within those secretion are less likely to have any harmful effect on an mls than a doctor who is always in direct contact with the patients from which those secretion are collected. Its very preposterous to compare the risk to which a doctor is exposed to , to that which an mls is exposed ( I need not list them anyone who has ever been to a hospital will know ). Secondly doctors are not responsible for the rot in the healthcare sector , blame the inept government ( how do you expect underfunded institutions setup decades ago to render worldclass services ; this is a dynamic world if you don't upgrade with time you'll become obsolete). An mls , a pharm has no basis whatsoever to aspire to be a C MD as he/she has no knowledge of patient care ( I need not reiterate the dominant importance of a doctor in the healthcare sector as the ongoing strike has proven that beyond every reasonable doubt ,therefore it stands to reason that a doctor by virtue of his training is the most qualified to head the clinical team ) ; nurses , physiotherapists etc are not fit for the post either as their knowledge of patient care is not as allrounded as that of a doctor . Finally I must state that the demands of NMA are in order contrary to the falsehood johesu members are peddling , every claim by NMA is justifiable . There is an urgent need to define every healthworkers role as contained in the national health bill . I will respond to any sound debate regarding any point I've raised here

This RIF -RAF that claims to know all about about medicine, did you watch channels TV yesterday and saw your fellow doctors who work abroad bash you local champions that the ongoing strike is Ego-mediated and not what you claim your fighting for?

Fernandez01: You're such a deluded halfwit . You don't know shit about medicine

Tell me about medicine you skank head!

@ Poster pls some of d posts here were lost after nairaland attack. Pls could you refresh how much you said you pay sometimes to outsource some of ur books. I still remember you said you hire writers from Odesk sometimes to make it easier.... help out pls.

Chibenze: what about the renewal. Though i have one .co.uk domain, will maybe purchase .uk extension. But i would nt advice anyone to invest in .uk domains.

pls what are ur reasons @Chibenze?

madridfc: thanks for this info. If You make the right purchases then .uk will be a good extension.

Thanks Madrific too

Chibenze: only those that have big purse can invest, it is no go area for me

But its not much of money to pay. I see the at £4 on godaddy which should be roughly abt $6-7 equivalent, but i just want to know if it has potentials to boom like the .coms

hi domainers, now the .uk extentions are live, are they worth buying?

The public needs to read this too...


It is indeed a great service to humanity to
be informed so as to reform those who are
already deformed due to their
misinformation, insatiable creed for power
and wealth, arrogance, ego as well as
overconfidence. The propelling impetus for
writing this few lines is nothing but to
correct the abnormalities embedded in an
article titled: Medical Doctors’ Sttrike and
the Problem in Nigerian Health Sector’
written by Dr Dagba, Agwaza Maxwell, a
Senior Registrar at the Dept of Obstetrics &
Gynaecology (ObGyn) at the Jos University
Teaching Hospital, Jos, Nigeria.

I need to summarise this response within
four points: Criteria for CMD/MD
appointment, Academic qualification of
health professionals, Abuse of Professional
practice in the Health Sector and finally the
way forward.

Criteria for CMD/MD appointment
Frankly speaking, the criteria for these
leadership positions in the health sector is
sacrosanctly enunciation by the law of
University Teaching Hospitals
(reconstruction of boards) cap U15, LFN
2004 commonly called decree 10 of 1985
stated as follow: The candidate for the post
of Chief Medical Director is expected to be
a person who is medically qualified and
registered as such for a period of not less
than 12 years, has had considerable
administrative experience in matters of
health and holds a post-graduate medical
qualification obtained not less than 5 years
prior to the date of this advert.

Furthermore such a candidate:-

(a) Must show evidence of high-level
managerial and executive capacity in the
administration of a tertiary medical
institution.

(b) Should hold professional and academic
standing that must be sufficiently high to
command national and international
respect, particularly in the professional
medical world, such that it would enhance
the good reputation already established
for the Teaching Hospital.

(c) The appointee must be a person of
courage who can take decisions on the
merit of facts and principles, and not on
the basis of pressures from individuals or
groups. He/She must be also be a person
of unassailable integrity.

(d) The appointee should possess such
personality as can attract funding from both
the local and international community to
supplement government subventions.

The section of the above Law as distorted
by Dr Dagba and those who share his
school of thought that “medically qualified”
means only the holders of MBBS is nothing
but personal interpretation of Nigerian Law
without any jurisdiction to do so.

Similarly,
it is your personal opinion that the phrase
“post-graduate medical qualification” only
means “postgraduate fellowship, which is
peculiar to doctors.” The flawlessness of
your supportive analogy as applied to
other professions is another indication of
your wrong perception; I would like to ask
you sincerely which of Nigerian University
that is awarding a degree certificate called
legal clerk? Likewise, those in the field of
engineering know that both brick laying and
welding are part and parcel of civil engineer
procedures and not different profession.
Contrarily, what is obtainable is that a civil
engineer will never claim superiority over
mechanical or electrical on the field work.

As a law abiding professional in the
country, I expect NMA to supply court with
its legal exhibits since the case instituted in
the Federal High Court Awka by Comr. A. A
Obi a distinguished Medical Laboratory
Scientist with the suit number is FHC/AWK/
CS/38/2013 on interpretation of those grey
areas is on-going.

NMA and Dr Dagba et. al should know that
orthodox medicine is not indigenous to
this country. Hence we must conform to the
international best practice where the
headship of health facilities is not limited
to Medical Doctors rather, in most places;
it is a qualified hospital/health
administrator that manages hospitals.

For
your information, this international best
practice was the norm in Nigeria when the
quality of our health service was ranked 4th
in Africa until 1985 when the then Military
Head of States, General Ibrahim Babangida,
appointed Professor Olukoye Ransome Kuti
as the health minister who chased away all
the health administrators among whom was
Col. Austin Akobundu (rdt), the then
chairman of the Board of UCH, Ibadan, in
1987 and since then there have been
progressive deterioration in our health
system.

In 2013, Mo Ibrahim foundation
ranked Nigeria health section 41st out 52
countries in Africa under the administration
NMA members!!! (What a gross display of
incompetence). Alas! This managerial
ineptitude of NMA members formed the
basis of exodus medical tourisms among
the Nigerian elites with the cost of 1.7
billion US dollars, according the recent
research.
Academic Qualification of Health
Professionals
It is an incontrovertible fact that all
professions have their humble beginning,
MBBS holders of today started in this
country with award of Licentiate Diplomas
as a medical assistant in 1939 at Yaba
Medical College (Lagos state) which was the
first medical school in Nigeria. Likewise,
medical laboratory practice had its origin in
ancient Europe well documented; that
medical laboratory science has been
practiced in Nigeria since 1922. The same
thing is applicable with other professionals
in the health section not only in Nigeria
even among the developed nations of the
world. If NMA’s campaign of calumny against
other professions can be jettisoned,
others can as well quickly rise to the zenith
of their career. Recently, NMA’s lobby swipe
at the award of D- pharm. and tried
frantically to truncate BMLS degree in
Nigerian University (but God Almighty
Voided its plot) using its puppet -NUC
Chairman (at the seat of power).
Broad –based medical knowledge mentality
is another issue that needs urgent
clarification. Dr Dagba and others should
be informed that the practice a single man
claiming to know all in health sector is only
traced back to medieval era when health
care delivery was at throes of birth, this is
not and cannot be productive in 21st
century of ours. For your information sir,
WHO’s concept of health service provision
puts the patient in the centre of a circle
formed by healthcare professionals. The
old concept of the patient belonging to
the doctor is now outdated which is based
on guess work and at best the practice of
polypharmacy.
Furthermore, this broad–based medical
knowledge mentality is an insult to the
Nigeria educational system that as well
produced you. In fact, it is highly
inconceivable that someone who spent
good five years of cognate university study
in pursuance of a professional couse (as it
is applicable to Bsc, Nursing, MLS, PHAM.,
PHYSIO., Optometry) and you with the
broadness of modern day clinical
knowledge now claiming to be more
knowledgeable than all of them just
because you spent six years in the school.
Nigerian physicians should learn to the
difference between being trained to
practice a profession and being train to
have an idea so as to recognize where your
own professional practice interdependent
with that of others. That is why we have
many borrowed courses in our university
system, the fact that you did philosophy or
law as a borrowed course can never make
you to be a philosopher or lawyer. But
Nigerian physicians want to be physicians,
professional nurse, medical laboratory
scientists, pharmacists, physiotherapists at
the same time. Your unquenchable longing
for leadership, if not checked, will soon be
extended to being the head of cleaning
services, security services, gardner’s
services in our public hospitals. As a MLS, I
have not seen a Nigerian first degree MBBS
holder that can accurately crossmatch
donor blood for an authoimmune patient, I
challenged.
Abuse of Professional Practice in the Health
Sector
This syndrome cut across all health workers
without exception, physicians claim to be
jack of all trade and master of them all,
nurses are running diagnostic procedures,
medical lab. Scientists want to be clerking
patients and so on. As we speak now, the
Nigerian doctors lead the pack in the
training of Quacks because they run private
clinics without complementary services of
other healthcare team. As at today, they
hire barely literate people and 'train' them
to be auxiliary nurse!!Where is that done in
the world!!
It is the statutory function of all councils
present in the health sector to maintain a
sustainable standard of practice among
their respective members. However,
Medical doctors will never allow MLSCN,
PCN, Nursing council of Nigeria to inspect
the laboratory, pharmaceuticals and nursing
staff of their facilities to even perform
these legal statutory functions in public
hospital sometimes is a tug of war.
JOHESU members had suffered a lot of
assaults from Nigeria physicians; they abuse
their position as CEO of governmental
facilities against other professional
members. In your facility at Jos Teaching
Hospital, Dr Dagba, the physiotherapists
were harassed yesterday (4/07/2014) and

Goin through this piece of crap, all i could see is how the Medical doctors are the best people to head the head sector, how thier salary packages should be upgraded, how they are the most exposed to hazards and should be paid bumper packages amongst other things...

But question is, taking the hazard allowance for instance, who in the health sector is less exposed to hazards and who amongst them earn better hazard allowance?

The radiation that the imaging scientist is exposed to everyday can mutate his genes and affect his normal body functions, have they gone on strike to demand for allowance increase?

The problem of the health sector is not the Government but the doctors! The doctors role and other health workers are well spelt out but the doctor wants to see patients, he wants to head all the departments in the hospital, he wants to determine who gets paid and by how much, who gets promoted amongst others...


The seeming crises in the health sector is simply due to the oppressed (so called support staffs) resisiting opression and doctors are now feeling the heat!

I dont expect you guys to comprehend all these anyways but i have made my point!

armadeo: I assure can assure you that mintyx will not return for a debate with you, ever.

Im sure i just disapointed you. How can u argue and convince an ignorant mind?? If what i said here was "read" in your minds as "out of point" then there is nothing i say here that would make sense....

You guys should have a nice weekend with yo ignorant minds. Ciao

Piece of crap from a biased mind! Who lied to Doctors that they are at the heart or the most importantant in patient care? When they keep spewing all these lies, you'd actually think some of them really care about thier patients.

Again why would ur lame brains think that its only you folks that understand or know medicine wholly?

When a Lab scientist does a PCV for instance and issue out a result, do you guys for a second think that he doesnt know factors that can cause a raised, low or normal PCV?

When a pharmacist manufactures a drug and tells u skank head how many dosage you'd use to effect a cure, u term him a support staff huh?

God is watching you all and he has heard the cries of His oppressed children in which you guys have been trying to annihiliate all ds while.

But get this into your heads, the post of minster of health and other heads are purely administrative roles and should be opend to all so you should get afraid cos very soon, you would start getting directives from the so called "support staff".. lmfao
