That is rubbish. No hospital can keep patients records from police or the state. Lets not bring hearsay into this, you don't know what you're talking about.
I only gave the police as examples, almost all govt agencies are exempt. Where it is the president of a sovereign country, it becomes an incredible level of nonsense to talk about patient confidentiality.

You don't know the law.
Wanna add that the police can have access without subpeonas when it is related to a crime. It can be given to federal officials who are conducting national security and intelligence activities or providing protective services to the President or other important officials. This is the case of Yaradua. There is the case of a crime- the signing of the budget and also the case of national security- the president is missing or whereabout unknown. Dont know if Hippa laws operate anywhere else though

am just so annoyed cos u are so weak.real men dont get manipulated by women.

lol. My tots exactly. Seems to me that the guy is the desperate one to get married and not the girl. Thinks he needs to work on himself b4 dating again not to talk of getting married. He is being played and he feels it is OK. And to think he is not a woman not to talk of a woman in her 40s.

nah, i think his still in d hospital
They mentioned he was out of the hospital, resting and talking on the phone with his aides. Note, it is the govt that is hiding him and not the hospital. If he is still in the hospital, why the lies? Do you blame Nigerians for wanting to know more? There is something cynical about all these.

Here, we have seen appointed hospital reps, the patient or family give news conference about the health of a public figure. We have not seen that from the hospital, or from his wife or from him. He is a public figure and needs to be seen. Tell me if America would accept confidentiality bull if Obama turns sick today.

Alot of u guys are blaming the saudi's for this and i don't think you should. Am a healthcare worker in the states and you don't mess with patient confidentiality. Yar'adua and his wife has probably signed a patient confidentiality agreement that none of his medical information should be released to anyone and that he doesn't want visitors in his room. The saudi's will absolutely carry the patient's wishes because if u don't just like here in the states, u might get sued.
Yar'adua knows why he chose to go to saudi in d first place coz he knows that they can absolutely prevent information from leaking to the press. I bet the saudi's dont have electronic charting because if they did, alot of folks would have been able to have access to former president yar'adua's medical information.
Turai needs to give up and take care of her very sick husband.
I thought they said he was out of the hospital.

Are you kidding me? the same guy? After seeing this, my comment would be the guy has been played and is so stupid to think that she didnt see it coming. People cheat and they tell their partner. That doesnt mean they repented. If this is the same guy and the same girl, then, I can mos def wait to see another post about how the girl cheated on him on his wedding night.

PoliticsRe: Yar’adua: Saudi Authorities Deny Ministers Landing Clearance by MsTom(f): 2:31pm On Feb 22, 2010
All the things happening to the so-called delegates ministers is really irritating. I wonder why saudi has so much power in keeping the people of Nigeria access to their president. Saudi can never take that s**t. I read that Obama had to be called for obasanjo to see yaradua at a point in time. Another bull. Wonder what they are covering up? Wonder what Saudi is to gain in all these. Makes me ask if Yaradua is dead or alive. Why are the stupid ministers still going there? There are clearly being insulted (which they deserve when all they think of is how much they get paid). I tire for all these. What Nigeria need is to move forward. It is clear that Nigeria does not need Yaradua to move on. Hence my question why they are still going to Saudi. It is clear that Yaradua has abadoned his duties and his country ( who knows, he might be a saudi citizen by now). The next thing they should be talking about is how to get a president in place and not waste money on trying to visit Saudi Yaradua to do some business deals check on Yaradua's health

CultureRe: Candle Light For The Dead, How Relevant? by MsTom(f): 2:03pm On Feb 19, 2010
Usually, people go for candle lights in order for them to come to terms with the fact the the loved one is gone. same goes for the final respect thingy. I dont think that is the problem you went through but the fact that you lost a loved one. Usually, people get hurts and sometimes feel guilty of the death of the loved one. Hence they imagine things. I lost my brother years ago, even though I never went for any candle light for him but yet, I relive the last moments. I see him in my dreams. It is just the truma of losing a loved one. I cant promise you would forget him cos you cant but then, you would learn to take heart and to have solace in the fact that one day you shall see each other.

so, it is up to you. Go if you are comfortable and if you are not, mourn him in your closet.

Accept my sympathy and I pray that God would grant you, his family and friends the fortitude to bear the loss.
CareerRe: When Your Career Ends, What Will You Do Next? by MsTom(f): 1:54pm On Feb 19, 2010
toyecoach:
welcome on board Chesfrank.

when career ends!Can a career end? Career is a means of livelihood,it ends when a
man dies,then we can say he has a successful career.

A man that lost his job still has hope,he has the knowledge and experience!
what he can do is first be determined to continue his life and made effort to
move on.

he must also work in hand with his career coach,for reassessment and strategies for the challenges ahead.

Since all industry can absorb all discipline, will do well by seeking for information on options available to him.
For instance,he can be equipped with information on getting fast oil jobs in line with his level,visiting ,www.plumoiljobcareers.com might be an excellent place to start the search.

Lots of resources are also available online to help in reshaping his career.
thanks.
Thank you for that point. I dont think a career can ever end except the man dies. A job can end. A career is what you are trained for usually from school. An accountant in a bank can be an accountant anywhere else. If one is laid off in a bank, he can try other sectors but due to the recession, it can take longer to get a new job. My advice, if you can, add value to your qualification till the recession is over. You can learn new skills like sewing ( may sound funny, but its true). If not then, start a biz you are interested in.

Just today alone I have been so concerned for her welfare
had to walk her to the road and stayed for her to get a taxi and we were laughing and having fun just
standing there, and in the midst of that said, I could jump rite in front of a taxi
Smilingly, she said "it will be a great relief for me if u are dead."
I smiled back, and said "in your dreams, I ain't goin no where babe!"
We said some other nasty things to each other and we
both knew we didn't mean them.

Maybe marriage is really like a Seasonal movie, some episodes are romantic,
others are thrilling and chilling,, some warfare, tension and character assasination,
and all sorts of really f**ckd up things.

its both fun and not fun men, Lord have mercy on us 9my wife and I) cry
That is plain scary. I cant say that to any man not to talk of my hubby and he dare not say such to me cos I would be very angry. Change your communication styles please.

Perhaps it's only the Nigerian group they were able to trace effectively? I mean, how many scammers do you know with any sort of acumen in online security?

Colombians aren't the only ones in the drug trade, but they are now the poster child of drug traffickers. I'm pretty sure when you think organized crime, your mind goes to the italian mafia. So too is Nigeria now the poster child for 419 scams. heck, the name '419' comes from Nigeria!

If you people spent 1/10th the energy you spend on whining on actually going after these 419ers here in Nigeria, this problem will not exist.

PoliticsRe: Ojukwu Used Starvation As A Deliberate Strategy During Civil War. by MsTom(f): 2:17pm On Feb 18, 2010
@All,

why? Even if you disagree on issues, why must you do so with insults/curses? Each person behind the computer is human and has feelings. We see each other, work together and even live together. There are someone you know and even love. Raining insults on one another is no way forward for us as individuls and as a nation. Come, sit and reason together and decide what you all want for Nigeria.  Communication is the key. Even if Nigeria eventually gets divided, you still need each other -at least for commerce. Remember, the world is a global village.

Ojukwu, Awolowo, Abiola etc are all heros, even if they made bad decides at a point in their lives. We all did, yet we are heros to some. The errors makes us human.

@moderators,

we dont need topics that would cause strife amongst us as individuals or as a nation but Topics that adds value to all. Please take note

No! if she wants a mega wedding, then the wedding should be postponed to the day they have enough money of their own for the 'mega' wedding. Paying back loans after the wedding is a wrong way to stay a marriage. How do they start planning for their future if they are still paying for their past?

He explained that the passport was seized and the officers threatened to arrest him if he wouldn't leave without it.

FamilyRe: I Think Marriage In Africa Is Against Women. by MsTom(f): 12:50am On Feb 17, 2010
@H2O2,

Women have phobia for marriages too and the whole concept of it. They have phobia for the way they would be treated by the man, his family and friends. They have phobia about the future of the marriage they are going into. Funny, most women feel much worse than men when it comes to marriage. Your points on divorce and its aftermath can happen to either party. The problem esclate when one party tries to prove subborn. If the man has custody, he does worse than the woman. Havent you heard of men who tell their kids that their mother died whereas she was very much alive but was not allowed to see her kids by the man and his family? All these are the hurts caused by divorce not the system. No one wants to be reasonable during divorce hence the system steps in to create order. I have seen men who have custody of the kids and the woman only visits.

H2O2:
Please I beg to differ by all means. You are entitled to your own biased opinion as a woman. However, there's nothing innocent about the law having more of a propensity to favor the women in marriage. If your own innocent entry is that women are the innocent parties in marriage, then once again we can agree to disagree. A marriage system which rewards women for exploiting men is flawed.
If you read my earlier post, you would conclude that I blame the women for the way they are being treated. Dont think that is a biases point of view. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Tell me,  how is the system flawed? A system that gives the custody of the child to one who is found fit to care for the child better- not necesarily the woman. A system that does not allow men to beat up a woman and ironically, vice versa. I have seen a woman locked up for beating her husband. Now, you think that women are not being exploited by men? even in the western world? You get the same kind of education but earn less that the men. You get laid off or contract cancelled cos you get pregnant ( using the employement at will crap). How is that not an exploitation by men. Back to marriage, most women go through hell in the hands of the men and of cos vice versa. but when couples get divorce, and the woman gets the custody, do you want the woman out of the home like they would in africa? Tell her and her kids to leave and fend for themselves (you and i know hundreds of people who grew up like that) while the man start a new life with another woman. Is that the kind of system that is not flawed?   You might say that why should the woman get the custody in most cases. It is cos they are deemed fit. If you are not biased here, you would agree with me that women take care of their kids better than another woman can. I might be wrong in reading from your own perspective but I would like to understand how the system is flawed in that perspective.
TravelRe: Airport Immigration And Their Monstrous Acts! by MsTom(f): 4:10pm On Feb 16, 2010
I cant believe what I am reading.
First question, Is this happening in Nigeria? Why are you still at the airport whining? Go look for their supervisors or go get a lawyer or go to the embassy for help. If they need prove about your school, call the school. If they need info about the passport or visa, go to the embassy. They are taking advantage of you maybe cos they sense that you dont know your rights. As per the airline who took off with your stuff, you have a right to sue them. They have no right to take the luggage of anyone who never entered the plane. They need to get your luggage back with apologies. If you are not on board, they were supposed to remove your luggage. (Few people Know this) That is a security risk you know.

She cried foul during her marriage and her daughters' but want her sons' marriage as irritating as possible. Will such treatment ever end when some women support harsh treatments for their sons's wives?
