Unfortunately, what can 20k do for the students in a month? Indomie alone is 15k per carton now. Won't the student transport himself to school? What about other needs of the student? This is more like blowing air into the eyes of a blind man. It makes no difference!!

And the students will be expected to start paying back two years after they complete their NYSC. Talk about double wahala for dead body.

This is a good definition of you can never satisfy human beings no matter what you do.

Rybnyk:

The list tells a lot about the choices of the candidates. Unilorin is known for less disruption in academic sessions and it's also affordable. Covenant uni is very expensive. Most students would likely go for an affordable school that also has somewhat decent standards.

In addition, Ilorin accepts 180 unlike UI, Benin, Ife.

The handwriting is clear and legible to the Pharmacist enough that he can interpret and correct errors and intervene if the treatment goals are not clear or going to counter one another leading to wastage of time and resources. It is also necessary for regulatory filing just in case a case comes up

Most professionals do not have great handwriting. I have met few exceptions though and I still marvel at their beautiful handwriting till date.

In this prescription, there are already errors on it and a Pharmacist must intervene. If not, that patient is just wasting his time and money
Most people are in hospitals to manage the side effects of their medications and that's why you need the Pharmacist to see your prescription first and foremost even before getting and/or taking your medications. Prescription errors are not uncommon.

There is a reason why they are called Medical doctors as they are primarily in charge of the patients. It will have been easier to swap responsiblity if you think you know better.
There are certain details they know about the patient that you might not be aware of. As far as I'm concerned, they have superior knowledge of Pathophysiology basis of Diseases hence some of the alterations which may look wrong when you see them that's where comprehensive history taking from the patients comes in.
If you think the doctor prescription is wrong, the right thing to do is to call his attention to it rather changing his prescription when YOU did not even get Patient detailed history in the first place. In saner climes, you'd be arrested before you even think of doing that.

Cocopopsss:
Hey guys. So I just recently repeated a class in med school and I don't really know how to move past this. I worked really hard and still ended up repeating with 0.05 mark. I am terribly sad and I really do not know how to move past this

First and foremost, you are not the first and will definitely not be the last to repeat a class in Medical school. It's time for you to reflect on why you repeated and make the necessary adjustments. Don't joke with classes and attend group discussions if you have the opportunity even when you're not a member of the group. And finally, Read as if you want to have a distinction; this should reflect in your attitudes towards classes, practicals and your personal study. Do a lot of reading and rereading; multiple revisions. Don't be downtrodden because you'll forget all this when in few years time when you start practising.

Juoflife1:
My niece brought home her own of 355 . She said the jamb tutorial center manufactured the result. Her real score is 246. Some of these children will have their admissions revoked in final year or when they are about to go for nysc. Not nice
This is concerning.

Happened in Ogun State.

She can't escape that in UNIBEN Post UTME application not to talk of gaining admission into UNIBEN with the fake score. UNIBEN requires you to input your Jamb Reg No and your scores and other vital details will automatically be generated from JAMB portal. The same is applicable in most Federal Universities. It's only some Mushroom State and private institutions she can gave admission into with the fake score as some of them only require submission of the hard copies of UTME results.

He doesnt deserve it. Mahrez merited it with the treble.

TONYE001:
Hi Medics,

It's been a very long walk for me. I recall when I first found this thread, it was when I was looking for admission into medschool. I once wrote then that I'd be back here one day to share my testimony. Today is that day. As of yesterday, I qualified as a medical doctor.

The past seven years have really been interesting. I was supposed to finish medschool in 5 years as I was a DE student. But Nigeria happened to me, I got two more years even though I did not repeat any class. But here I am today celebrating success.

I thank you all for all you do here. I thank the creator of this thread (Chief Lagusta). I thank the posters. I thank those that ensured this page didn't die. This thread helped me, it helped many before me, and it will help many after me. I've just concluded my medschool diary, if interested, you may want to read through it.

For all those still in the training, and for those still trying to get in, I wish you all success. It's possible, just continue trying.

Best wishes, friends. Have a great evening.

Dr. Tonye001.

Congratulations Doc.

Biletaste:
What did he do when he was governor?
I must talk syndrome.

Many of you just type in ignorance. This man record in the healthcare and education systems of Ondo state is still the very best in the history of the state. He established University of Medical sciences the first of its kinds in West Africa atleast and the university just churned out its first doctors. It's not Everytime you critize people, proper research and some level of objectivity is important.

monakii:
Understood. But, what did he do to help the situation while he was the Governor? A typical Nigerian, always pointing towards problem without any effort to proffer solutions.

BTW, our problem is not peculiar to the health sector alone. We need to tackle our problems head-on, especially with new hope, faith and passion for the project Nigeria. Successive governments are to blame. We hope is will stop henceforth.

However, Nigerians are terrible people who have little or no fondness for their job and responsibility, rather, they are concerned about the salaries and income. Imagine the investment on the education of these health professionals... This lack of commitment is everywhere including the health sector and sometimes one wonders how and why some of our health practitioners are so dispassionate and unethical. If babalawos will save lives and stay faithful to our national cause, isn't it better for government to support them?

Don't tell me Doctors are paid peanuts o! We are all Nigerians and some of us have never benefitted anything from government, to say the least, a job!

We must stop the habit of jumping ship when it's down. Let's fix our country together!

He was responsible for the establishment of University of Medical sciences during his time as the governor of the state, so he has contributed to a reasonable extent.

saweide:
Good moring everyone in the house please I need a medical advise to know if I need to see a doctor.

My name is segun I reside somewhere in lagos.
Please I need advise and no insult please.
I noticed that am too sexually active these days.

I operate a long distance relationship and anytime I visited my girlfriend for like 4 days I noticed I have sex with her moring afternoon and night and most times I go up to 45 minutes to an hour sex after the first come, I find It hard to come on second round and I go up to 45 minutes to an hour before she will cry for tiredness and it causes fight like she will tell me its OK but yet am not satisfied.

I do moring afternoon and night and even at midnight I don't allow her sleep, even my last relationships ladies complain too much of my longterm sexual drive and is giving me concern.

Tho my cucumber is not big is at medium size but if I handle a woman they always scream for help after my long sexual activity.

There was a time I went an hour marathon sex on my woman I nearly fainted that day because have exhausted all my energy.

Please should i see a doctor or there is a pill I can take? I shall appreciate you all for Good advise.

Thanks all.

There's no issue here. After the first ejaculation which normally takes place within 10 minutes of sex, the 2nd ejaculation takes very long to come out or sometimes it wouldn't come out till you get wearied and withdraw. It will take some time to produce and accumulate semen for the next ejaculation, that's why.

SF123:
Does it really worth it, this year will be my third UTMEs attempt to getting medicine and surgery after all the struggles, tutoring, massive reading, studying extensively and burning mid night candle yet MBBS is not forthcoming despite the frequent energy and commitment i ignited in my previous UTME preparation. This is extremely painful mehn, i am just deppresed right now.

Don't give up. Many of us here have toured the same path and it's now all history. Medicine is the most competitive course to get, so it's understandable if it doesn't come in handy. There are many less competitive institutions you can always pick. Maybe you just need to start making wise and smart decisions.

JayFredo:


Boss please is it possible to applyDE (300 level) into MBBS with a b.tech in micribiology(2.1)

You'll always start from 200L. And yes, you can apply for MBBS DE with B.tech.

So many young men and ladies are being led astray.

There is Life after Death.
Heaven and Hell are Real!
Flee from these evils, Run to JESUS Christ.

AlexBells:
I find it really complicated but my friend's character is likely going to be stained, I'm also concerned about his emotional stability afterwards if there's no proof of his innocence as at this point no one would believe him.

It was an old school group where we both belonged, I didn't know him much back in school to vouch for his character but the incidence has thrown everyone in complex puzzle.

Yesterday, a hospital document surfaced in our old school WhatsApp soliciting for funds, stating that he has apendix and needs it removed, while some of our course mates sent money, some were skeptical and made further inquiries by calling the hospital, the hospital didn't have any such person under admission, a call was placed to the sister who recieved same message of hospital documents and fund demand.


Later on, there was several intriguing aspect to the story but today our course mate resurfaced, at first we made conjectures that he was the one behind the heist but he said he was held against his will by some gang who did the hospital documents, forced him on a video call and used his phone to message his contacts and group with the fund soliciting broadcast.

I called him few minutes ago, he is stating that he is a victim and feeling disappointed that people believed he would do a thing like that and that it is his first time in Lagos.

I don't really know what to believe but I wish to know if anyone ever had this sort of scam approach in Lagos. Could my course mate be innocent or a culprit?

Someone created a topic of this nature a few days ago.

It happens whether qualified or not. I nearly lost my life in a private clinic run by a qualified doctor.

Instead of recommending oral medicine, they went and chook me injection, the so called nurses couldn't even locate my veins and chooked it directly into my body. My hands became swollen.


That I didn't die that day is one of the seven wonders of the world.

So many tales of Nigerian doctors forgetting a surgical instrument in the stomach after surgery which has caused several deaths.

No wonder our politicians fly out of the country because they don't even trust our health institutions.

It's the poor man that suffers it. Yet the poor will collect as small as #2000 just to allow corrupt politicians to continue suppressing the growth and advancement of Nigeria.

Im referring to his thread. From the content of the news, the headline is misleading.

All these our nairaland mods sef. This topic is wrong in all fronts. It should have been " A Quack or Fake Doctor in Kano state" and not " Kano Doctor". You people should stop allowing nonsense topics on the front page pls, it's damaging our profession.

God saved me , when I was returning home for Xmas , I slept off , lucky for me my girl on the passenger sit noticed the car heading to the bush she tapped me, I woke up immediately and controlled the car.

Thank God for your Life.

Please I need help guys my dick won't get hard, it's so frustrating.

Stop masturbating if you do and reduce your sugar intake. You can consult your doctor if you're not satisfied with my advice.

Let me leave you with these pictures of myself, my classmates with our language lecturer and me with my friends here in Yakutsk.

Despite being a federal university, we are only about 15 in a class. And they don't attempt to burden us with lectures. Itx the same way when you are teaching Russian kids. If a kid does not want to learn, it's fine. You don't have to force them.
.
Thanks for reading.

Medical schools here in Nigeria will suffocate your life and destiny with lectures and clinical postings.

RestructureNig6:
It's bad roads that cause accidents

You're blaming roads instead of blaming the drivers that drive as if they have duplicates. Accidents in Nigeria occur more on good roads than even bad roads because of the high speed our drivers drive on good roads. Bad roads cause accidents too but it's more of drivers faults than roads'.

Froshchuksswart:



Lol a dentist is a Medical doctor here in Nigeria, I don’t know about other countries, our curriculum only exclude only O and G and PAED

Which we replace with more than 8 dental departments in dentistry

Dey play, if our medicine and surgery consultants for here Dey call us doctors who the Bleep are you lol, I’m a 4th year dental student and I have passed catheter during surgery posting, Dey here Dey play

A dentist by law isn't a medical doctor but a dental doctor. For the sake of clarity, Medical doctor is ascribed only to MBBS holders and Dental doctors to BDS holders. There's a reason why it's like this. Dentistry seems to be a very broad field, that gave the need to train students in the field as early as possible. Even resident in O and G, you'll do rotations in paediatrics and other subspecialties and that won't automatically make you a paediatrician. During your housejob, as a dentist you'll only rotate through dentistry subspecialties and that tells you a lot. I can't argue with the fact that you do almost everything we do at undergraduate levels, but there's a distinction between Medicine and Dentistry.

Mammangaddafi:
simple question...do dentists undergo residency training in internal medicine or surgery?

I feel he was referring to postings in internal medicine and Surgery. Dentistry is a branch of Medicine, so it's normal to rotate through some departments in the core Medicine during residency in any of the dental specialties. The best thing one can do for himself or herself is to be proud of whatever field he finds himself or better still, go to that field he finds fulfilment. The honest truth is, most of our dental colleagues wanted MBBS in the first place, hence, their urge to defend dentistry at the slightest provocation. This doesn't negate the fact that Dental students do atleast 80% of what Medical students do at undergraduate levels.

tuzle:
I am talking about their prime and stop comparing a 37 year old Ronaldo with current Messi.

What's the difference? It's just 2 years and that's almost insignificant cuz Messi even look older sef. You and I know I'm telling the truths. Even in his late 20s and early 30s, it was just goals and nothing more!

tuzle:
why can't he be compared with Messi? What has Messi done that he hasn't done? Just tell me one thing Messi has that Ronaldo hasn't replicated and don't come here and tell me u balloon dor

Messi is far better with passes, dribbling and team play. Messi doubles as a midfielder most of the time; a skillset Ronaldo lacks. If Messi doesn't score for you, you'll still play him because he brings other contributions apart from goals to the team. If Ronaldo doesn't score for you, and you still play him, you already have a minus one in your team. If he's that good all round,I don't see why Ten Hag would bench him. Messi can't be benched in any team in this life and beyond. He will only stop play playing when he hangs his boot. You' think football is just to stand in the box and wait for crosses and score one or two goals and win Man of the match. Na why Ten hag wan use bench kill am because he offers nothing than goals and becomes minus one when Utd are defending.

Clinton39:


Boss, not all medical schools experience accreditation issues. Take for instance, the university in my state (Rivers State), they started medicine in 2018 and not one week has been lost due to accreditation or strike. The first set that was admitted in 2018(400 level class) are preparing to write 3rd MB next week. It all depends on the seriousness of the government and management. The take off fund for the Rivers State University medical school was a whopping 7.6 Billion naira. If all state governments and the Federal government can be this committed, accreditation issues will be a thing of the past.

Has the school graduated any set yet? If not, wait till then. I could be wrong though!

Eben331:


What makes you think he will suffer the two things you aforementioned if you choose FUTA. FUTA is not the only University that ASUU strike affected. It affects UI also, so what point are you driving at? You can't jump into conclusion easily that FUTA will have accreditation problem. It is not even up to three years they started Medicine. Stop making FUTA look bad if you are trying to persuade him to choose UI. You are trying to bad-mouth a school just because you want to showcase another school.

You think it's that easy. Every medical school in Nigeria usually passes through the phase of accredition hitches, it's almost an unwritten rule. Even the first set at UI finished their MBBS degrees in London. UNIBEN and IFE finished theirs somewhere else and that privilege is no longer available. The aspirants should just be aware of all these in order to make wise decisions. If they think they can bear the risk of facing accreditation problems and probably spending up to 9-10 yrs, then that's good them. It's the just info and expectations that are important.

Bethelmatthew:
After a while I began to accept the fact that I would not get admitted to the med course even though I score 100/100 in PUTME... So slowly I become to accept the fact that I would read the dentistry course but wasn't happy, so I began to look up into the internet to find anything that would change my mind, but most of them are just looking for ways to generate traffic for their sites, the article presented were not too useful for me, maybe the article contain information about the author country ( US, India, and so on... But when I tried this site, it really showed me that the course is not that bad and very lucrative as well..... Now am very sure I won't fail or back out of the course cus I think am beginning to love the course..

Dentistry is a nice course and highly profitable. It's just that you will have to study hard even than your medicine counterparts because of the workload. In my class, we're all one and we seem can't differentiate who's in Medicine and who's in Dentistry.

Karlovych:
Hmm, Igboland again!!

You're an an educated illiterate, that's if you even pass through a school. If one is not Hausa or Yoruba, so the person is now automatically from Igboland? Learn more about Nigeria's diversity and come back to edit your post.

PerfectStranger:

Must you always display your ma.dness every time even on sensitive issues?

You're even minding that one that thinks there are only 3 tribes in Nigeria. Too much educated illiterates on nairaland.

yusman14:
Hello everyone, my FSB exam is on Saturday, 8am at Ibadan..pls scholars in the house, is it possible for the exam to start at that time exactly because I'm coming from Lagos to Ibadan.

I am considering factors like traffic delay and all that.

If you leave as early as 5:00 a.m, you should get to Ibadan before 8.00 a.m. The exam might not even start by 8:00 am. But if you're not sure of leaving by 5 a.m, travel down to Ibadan tomorrow and look for where to stay overnight. Hotels are relatively cheaper in Ibadan.

slyayok:
Is it the originals you bring for them to see or photocopies?

The photocopies will do for the documents apart from your ID card

slyayok:
pls, apart fr the exam print out and admission letter which other documents are we suppose to bring to the venue?

Your school ID card and NIN slip. The later was probably the reason I couldn't win the award in my 1st attempt as I couldn't get mine on time and couldn't finish the exam. Not all centers demand it but if you have it, plz take it along.
