Incognito Quant: Really? Are Nigerian Doctors now Incompetent? From my experience, I choose to disagree. You can say good medical care now is very expensive and maybe not affordable to everyone. The normal trend in Nigeria is to first visit the chemist before going to a Lab, then if no solution yet, before visiting a clinic. Now it is unfortunate if at the clinic, it is a nurse or chew that makes the diagnosis. That's double wahala.
The Nigerian situation is a complex one because 1. Everyone in the Health sector in Nigeria wants to be a doctor without the necessary training. 2. The level of ignorance is just too high. Have you heard of the triad (vicious cycle) of poverty, ignorance and disease? Do you know the ratio of Nigerians to a Doctor?

You don't know what is going on around the world most importantly the developed world, US has midlevels diagnosing and prescribing ,so also UK and many others. In east Africa they have clinicals officer ....all these have helped in increasing their access to medical care and improving their life expectancy. In Nigeria, the mere mention of it will cause an uproar like the post above....so funny.
Government not even the rival JOHESU will lift the carpet off the feet of doctors, as Ransome kuti did to other health workers so karma is around the corner....it is no longer about patients but individual interest.

texazzpete: As far as I know, the 'full extent of your license' for you nurses does not allow you to pretend you're a doctor and carry out diagnosis and prescribe drugs...unless, perhaps, in dire and extenuating circumstances.

As far as I know, the NMA is on strike for 7 reasons. Why is everyone focusing on the NMA and JOHESU thingy?

It is not pretending we are doctors by prescribing or diagnosing. It is doing what we are supposed to do when there is no doctor. We are trained to do it and we know where our scope of practice will be limited to. Nobody is pretending here and you contradicted yourself by writing "in dire and extenuating circumstances". Well in health centres that is the status quo.
Nurses have a lot to do instead of encroaching to other territory in tertiary hospital and that doesn't make us dumb. But the God complex of doctors will take a hit when they notice the legally sanctioned encroachments in their fields as they fought for financial gains.

kinkymax: . Vry stupid post up there. D oda tym a senior nurse wt mor dan 15yrs experience was askin m d dosage of IM arthemeter. For a senior nurse nt to kno d dosage of ordinary antimalaria and askin a vry young doc and u sed u wana handle and man d patients alone wthout d doctors directive ma sis u wil kill mani

yeah, how about a doc that can't initiate and set up Iv line....it goes both ways bro... nigeria hospital is a war zone . Know your capability before venturing in. No more comradeship in hospital everybody is going for each others throat and whats wrong in asking somebody to clarify issues when in doubt.

I attends church because I don't want to be buried by contracted random strangers l.e hausa labourers. I can worship God from my house and my place of work. As a junior staff, always on duty on Sundays so what do you think .. can't go to .hell cos of that........no way......am serving God were I am.

Guys should wise up...HIV nko...think with your brain not your dicck

Losing focus...doctors. Reasons so flimsy that it makes other health professionals to squirm with shame for our supposed coworkers. Doctors,your leaders are taking you people on a jolly ride, smashing your profession in the mud with these childish strikes.
Just a little law that will expand the scope of practice of others as done in other countries and everybody will be scampering to save their jobs....it is high time the government stop pampering doctors and they are really getting enough pressure to do so and it is yielding fruits. Make yourself special like be a neurosurgeon or cardiothoracic surgeon and the rest ......and you won't be fighting like other MBBS holders.

Seems the guy is rich or the only son...Jumping into the marriage knowing fully well what is going on ,girl seek to nullified the marriage now ...emotionally you're being abuse...verbal abuse coming up....then he will go physical. I believe he likes you but that ain't enough at all.. The reason for not marrying the girl is so flimsy that it looks as if somebody in the background is pressuring him to get married before this year runs out. You're the only one losing here....he have you and also his heartthrob. You're at home representing.....while he go about frolicking with his heartthrob.. Better set a plan B in motion and implement it fast . Talk with him, seek counselors opinion together and pray....but don't tell me if there is no change after all these you will remain there answering Mrs albeit heartbroken.

The guys here have a reason for telling you not to marry him while the women are telling you to forgive and go ahead for your sons sake. You mentioned that things have turned around for him now, is it what you are looking up to despite not loving him or you're desperate that no man will take you with your son or what?
What sort of feeling do you have for him now.....cos if you're feeling resentful towards him coupled with not loving him, it is a recipe for disaster. Seexx nko.
Please define your goals and if you're uncomfortable with him in the picture .....delete him fast. It is good to have all your kids from one man but your happiness matters:............. well it seems that both of you are each others fallback plan B.

It is the fear , guilt and sometimes you feel disgusted about the whole sex thing, it makes you to tense up tightening your vj muscles and all what not. Aside from any other likely cause of dysparenua : psyche going haywire is the most common cause of pain during sex. Some of my friends with strict upbringing have this problem; fear of being caught doing it or people knowing you are doing it or you don't feel comfortable with somebody going down there. Lighten up, after all it is your hubby and don't go about anticipating pain for fuccck sake it makes the slight pain you may feel on penetration worse. Have confident in yourself that you're not lousy, dirty or whatever and that you're performing your basic physiological needs according to Abraham Manslow,the great psychologist.

Where do you send husbands when they misbehave? Double standard
. Women even at 70-80 your husband can still send you back to your family.....so pathetic.
Women should start gaining financial, emotional and social independent from their man at least no right thinking idiotos will dream of sending you back to whomever like damaged goods just cos he feels like or believe it is necessary for him....

.""nothing.

Do you really expect them to retrain the wife then send her back to you after the public disgrace. You acted before thinking, after dating a woman for two years then married for two years.....you're telling this bullshits. No issues right......cos it seems but of you are really fed up with each other to be shouting on the top of your voice at each conversation. She stays at home doing nothing....cos if she is a career lady bringing in the dough, you won't be sending her back to her parents for retraining or whatever, you only do that to leeches. Well Yerima, get another while you wait for the retrained wife.......unless you get enough money or the parents lack shame.....they ain't sending their daughter back to you.

phantom: do you know that the MbbS is actually two bachelors degrees? Its equivalent to a phD.thats why they are called DOCTORS

go back to S S1...please. search for the meaning of the word doctor

Have perfected intrathecal injections. Can anesthesise perfectly now, with God being my helper.

I hate disgrace personally, so I've learnt self defense including a little karate . When I registered in a gym for weight reduction, I spent almost all my time boxing cos I know it will be useful in the near future. Women are too lax that any threat from any man to beat you ,you start cowering for shelter. I try my possible best to bridle my mouth but at times you need to shout, nag ,rant and all what nots. at least while doing that you know you can defend yourself very well.
The woman in question was wrong for ranting while the husband was driving and the husband also a tout for parking the.car just to beat his wife.

swtcharissa: No,I don't feel inferior been with my friends,just around my brothers inlaw,sincerely I prefere clinging to nairaland whenever they are around

Most certainly you don't have inferiority complex...you just don't have anything in common with them. Not your fault..for crying out loud. Dont let them even your hubby get to you, do the needful and chill with nairaland abeg...it's more lively than talking about the type of cars, buildings they are playing to purchase and babes. Tell them about Beyonce and Kim Kardashian and the rest ...and they will also feel inferior too. Come on girl, sometimes things goes both ways.

I am not a man but it is just like asking women whether they will marry an impotent man. I will not unless the guy is really rich so I can adopt as much I want to give birth to ....to dull the pains of not having mine though I am fertile. For me love is just not enough.
Op, I am only expressing my thought.

Kanwulia: Obviously, you can't fit in as a WOMAN! It is obvious you are dealing with MALE chauvinists. You can never fit in such a primitive clan of BROTHERS who feel women should be seen and not heard! I bet you have fulfilled your JOB as a woman, aka "open your nyansh, PHOCk and BORN! You did not have any recognition prior to getting married, why should you expect that now?
It is obvious you feel like someone did you a HUGE favor by getting married to you!
You don't sound like you were happy as a SINGLE INDIVIDUAL!!!!

If you were smart, you would find your own friends and limit your associations with such PRIMITIVE BY AVOIDING THEM!!!!!
Please, work on your self-esteem! To earn respect, YOU NEED TO RESPECT YOURSELF FIRST!!!!

The last place you will find me is in the company of MY HUSBAND'S family OR FRIENDS! I avoid them!

Your personality is really something...you greet them......right!!!!! I mean when they visit ...then boom you're gone from the vicinity.....is that it. Cos I am kinda in ops shoes now...I'd rather spend my time on internet and books than listening to people 20 years my senior. Op, you're only hurt cos your husband said it but you're feeling it already. Dust yourself up please. When you're with your friends, do you feel like that too?

Dangerous .....as in making money or what.

She might skip the crawling. See the pediatrician to certify her okay medically then see a physiotherapist to work on her.
But she can sit and hold up her head right..........yes?

Igbos and yorubas ......hmmm hmmm..internet warriors. Hausa land is on fire cos of boko boys....Igbos have fought theirs and are recovering.....yorubas being arrogant cos they haven't experienced what it is like, it will be disastrous cos it takes time for a region to recover from such. Remember, nobody believed that people will be afraid of living in maiduguri talk more of kano but what is happening now.
YOU PEOPLE SHOULD STOP INCITING VIOLENCE AND HATRED AMONG YOURSELVES. THESE THINGS START GRADUALLY........Thank God ....I am among the minorities.

Nigellus_Hosan: Which right thinking man would marry u in Africa..

They wouldn't want u to bear wayward Children with no values n purpose..

A male atheist is bad enough..
A female toh worst..

I should send a sniper after U..

These coming from a religious person will make a borderline atheist q full blown one. Having wayward kids depends on their upbringing ...not some religious hoohaa.

pickabeau1: Wat stat supports such an assertion...

Its general to both sexes...

Well maybe because I work at the hospital...with enough complaint of erectile dysfunctions, premature ejaculations and the rest among our youth thisdays. About the last sentence...well...I am talking about the men .....but it is certainly a general issue.
At op, is her parents rich..is she a runs girl cos the self acclaimed born again I know normally endures..with E go beta on their mind. Most girls believe that marriage is an escape from poverty...that is why when the guy finds out he's most definitely gonna treat you like shiit.

chaircover: SOUNDS LIKE A SEXUALL PROBLEM OF SOME SORT !!!

it's always the cause but people don't take it serious until the girl start an early away match....:...this is an assumption though on these particular case and also a probable cause. Would've fabricated about the money issue to save face. Many men are losing their potency...lying with their teeth and singing on both side of the mouth about their selfworth....otu abu ezi.

It might be sexual issues and others but most definitely not money...backing out of a two month old marriage cos of money.....sounds so unreal for a typical naija babe...at least you wait small na to siphon and milk the poor guy dry of the little he has before running off.

..

No matter what's happening around us ..........we are the happiest people on earth .. finding fun in our problems.
Anyway I get BB charger

Aba products are really coming up both in quality and design. Wish people will patronize them more...at least those guys will be motivated enough to produce more highly quality goods that can compete with other contemporaries.
To op, i will wear and use it if it is good. If NWA-ABA is good then what am I looking for in D & G, gucci etc....name ......just name....

Hubby thought it is demeaning too until I started treating him as a visitor...
You know.....welcome him...show him the way to the kitchen ,toilet, bathrooms and his room..and even how I do everything in the house EVERY FUCCCKING DAY....just to drive home my points that he is merely a visitor that gives us pocket money and have sexxx with me .I Ignord his sorry ass.The treatment made him feels out of place in the house...you don't cook, clean, bath the kids even if they come for assistance with their classwork..you tell them...you're just coming back from work that they should meet their mother..who equally is also coming back and has been cooking , cleaning and washing since.
Running the house isn't all even from the man's pockets...but their ego will not allow them.
To feel involved again he has to start afresh to integrate himself into our lives . I can still feel the joy radiating from him when his son hugged and thank him for watching their school bags and helping them to clean their room.

Omo_Tier1: Oh dear, you cannot claim to like Jesus and write these things you just said! No wonder the bible said this.... Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have BOLDNESS on the day of judgment! If your envisioned picture of Christ is not gotten from the bible, then perhaps, idolatry has set in.

What business do you or I have praying for the dead expect that we want to raise them to life again? If I speak words of prayers to the dead, of what purpose is it be it they are DEAD and gone? This shows you how warped what you have been believing really is! But to Christ Jesus we pray in His name because He Himself said we should and that is how the father will hear us when we speak to the Father. This is why when we set to pray, we go thus : Father in the name of Jesus. When we do so, it is as though Jesus himself was speaking to the father in our place.

Like I said, get you self a study bible. Take a day off work, set the bible at your dinning table, knee down and just say this prayer:
Father in the name of Jesus, I thank you for the wisdom that comes by your word and the understanding thereof through your Holy Spirit. As I read and study your word, I thank you, because my understanding is fruitful and I gain insight into your truth. Your word, abba father, says, through knowledge shall the just be delivered into their inheritance, I am grateful because Christ is my wisdom and knowledge even as I pray that you teach me your truth by your holy spirt as I study this morning like never before I ask in the name of Jesus.

Then meticulously begin to study John chapter 1 and walk your way through the reminder of the bible. I am sure your understanding will be fruitful and you will know truly the joy of the fellowship of the father by the Holy Ghost.

you don't get it. The same Idolatory and hell fire threat....I like Muhammad, mahatma gandh, Jesus..etc..studying them makes my life meaningful...so stop wasting your prayers.. people have a structured way of life ...accept them the way they are for peaceful coexistence.

dejilg: If anyone can't think outside of the box here, its u, am nt d one who talks abt "bitheism or polytheism"...u are! and d reason u come to dis conclusion is because u wanna use ur human nature to explain God's. U actually can't picture a "God" with a nature u can't fully grasp! That's why u concluded with such earlier on! So stop rantin abt me believin d Bible, and I dnt care what Gandhi said, he meant nothin to me, if he likes let him hate Jesus and love his followers!

And again I accept the Bible wholly! from A-Z!
And u talking abt me accepting that not everythin that happened during the time of Jesus is in the Bible; this is not topic of debate. The Bible made it clear that it isn't exhaustive on the life of Jesus, so what ur point?

Typical Christian. Atheism is becoming more appealing as the days go by.
