Amujale:
All Abrahamic religions are false, fake and counterintuitive

Absolutely. That is the more reason to follow Jesus. He is the ONLY WAY, the TRUTH and the LIGHT. Religion is a scam. Only Jesus frees from the deceit of religion.

musicwriter:
How can you make such a claim, when your bible says ''if we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us''- 1 John 1:8.

Your book also says ''all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.''- Romans 3:23.

Do I take your word or your bible's?

This your friend never knew Jesus, never was following Jesus. He was only a church pastor, earning a livelihood. Like the americans say, there is big bucks in the god-business. It's such a pity he wasted so many years following christianity without Christ.

Xisnin:
Mr. Professor of Philosophy who studied big literature, Philosophy and Law why do you laugh at them?


Are you saying that Judaism/Christianity is a cult group?
Do you not know that the opposite of the Bible is not Atheism/Cult groups?
Some states with 99% Christian population in Nigeria also has the highest cult membership. How do
you explain that?



How does this negate the fact that the Bible is a book of fiction?
As a self-described expert, can you not stay on a topic and defend your position
instead of deflecting?

Ikhide posited that the bible is a work of fiction, provide evidence that it is not.

It's a waste of time proving or disproving anything. Let those who believe in the 'fictional bible' continue to hold on to their 'foolishness' , while the wise and learned continue in their wisdom. I am proudly 'foolish'

Psalm 14:1

MyVILLAGEpeople:
You better listen to words of wisdom. That's why most of you ladies don't last long in marriages. The husband is a master and the wife is meant to be under his authority. That's how God Almighty made it to be.

Sorry sir, but the man was not created to be master over woman. The word of God did not imply so. The headship responsibility of a man in the family is in terms of leadership, not supremacy. It does not equal superiority, subjugation or enslavement as in master-slave relationship. The injunction for women to be submissive is for deference to the husband who bears prime authority, under God.
This delicate arrangement cannot be understood until we understand the relationship between the church and Jesus; with whom we are co-heirs.
Pastor was clearly mis-construed, and we are fighting for and against. When we don't even know the God who instituted the arrangement, how would we understand what He intended.

I greet you all nairalander,

Am here to solicit for fund for my sick dad, who has been in hospital for a couple of weeks, he is suffering from CANCER OF THE BLADDER. We have been running round lagos, to make sure we conduct the required test and start treatment. It hasn't been easy as fund was an issue, i run out of funds within days and had to rely on friends and God. The doctor noticed this evening he is having uraemia and dialysis is required, we were given referal letter to GBAGADA GENERAL HOSPITAL. I need to take him to gbagada and make sure dialysis start as soon as possible, or else nobody knows what will happen to him.
Am pleading with you all to help me out financially, so that he can get dialysis, run the remaining test and start a treatment plan... All of which, are quite expensive....
Sorry for my not so coherent write up.. Feel free to ask me any question.
Below is my account number also, reference letter and last scan result (in pdf)

WHAT KIND OF EVIL LEADERS ARE WE PRODUCING IN THIS COUNTRY! WHO GENIUENLY SEEKS TO DIVIDE THE PEOPLE THAN UNITE,.. WAS THIS DIVISIVE INITIATIVE NECESSARY IN THE FIRST PLACE? ARE THESE THE ONLY ETHNIC GROUPS IN NIGERIA?
WHY PROMOTE YOUR ETHNIC GROUP ABOVE MINE ON A NATIONAL FIGURE WHICH I AM IDENTIFY WITH or are u telling me that your ethnic group is superior & mine is inferior?
WHO TOLD THEM THAT NIGERIAN ARE NOT PROUD AND IDENTIFIED WITH THE PREVIOUS PASSPORT or this decision was taken at the close door at aso rock?
Why are we messing with our national and legal values.
WHEN I SEE SOME ILLITRATE BIGOT SUPPORTING THIS MOVE & FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, I AM BEGINNING TO BE AFRAID OF THE FUTURE OF THIS NATION..some are even mentiöning war.. Be careful of what u wished for, because when that war start, it will be fought all over the country and not just on the east or south south.

Finally the killings and the sorry state of our nation are caused be the actions & inactions of our heros both past & present.

My first passport was 7 yrs ago, when 'fulani-herdsmanism' wasn't a thing, and this same cultural symbol was there (same as others) . On renewal 5 years later it was still there as with the others. While Nigeria may have become more divided today for obvious reasons, we must not always view everything through the prism of ethnicity. The symbol in reference has been there. If it was not an issue before, why now?

Edijana2015:
The real problem we have in Africa is illiteracy and we suffer from schizophrenia. Too many persons are too lazy to go thru all the pages of the e-psaaport as well as other academic related materials because their minds have been programmed negatively.
The reason I am worried is not because of those images but it is because of the numbers of persons that are reacting without trying to find out the truth value of the news.
So to conclude the real thing is that majority of Africans have a very lazy mind, and this in turn cloud their judgements.
Not until we budget more money for education and recreate our failed institutions Africa will hardly develop.

One fundamental problem with the average Nigerian youth is the lack of critical-thinking skill. We are mostly mentally lazy and cannot think independently. This has become a rich resource for use by corrupt leaders to perpetuate bad governance, bigotry and hate. Too many functional illiterates in Nigeria; It's all over social media

Tolexander:
May God deliver us from the so called “men of God” deliberately misleading their followers.

He wouldn’t tell us that he didn’t go through the whole pages of the passport he was holding.

.. And we don't also have brains to do independent thinking. Everyone in possession of a Nigerian passport knows the allegation was inaccurate and misleading as all the pages contain different ethnic symbols. Don't Nigerians enjoy being deceived?

tayo60:
The lady is suffering from hormonal imbalance. Any lady that has such will be secreting milk from her breast even when not pregnant. And this issue usually causes delay in getting pregnant in such ladies. Medical treatment is the solution.

Best answer so far.

First off, your friend should not be sleeping with someone he is not married to. Both him and his girl friend are courting God's anger; it comes in differnt forms.

The lady in question maybe having hyper-prolactinemia. Hospital follow up is strongly recommended.

If left unattended, she may contend with inability to conceive down the line

You need no much explanations to your dream as the meaning is glaring to you.



BE STEADFAST IN PRAYERS AND WATCH YOUR STEPS.

Who is a fornicator supposed to pray to?

Techbrity:
Ohh.. I finally found someone with sense.. Kudos boss.

Those cocktail they drink all in the name of ARV is what is killing them, coupled with the fear of death. I know of a friend who is HIV+ for over 20 years now, no meds and he is more healthy than those claimed to be negative.

HIV is business now. Do you know how much WHO will lose if the cure is found? There will never be a cure cause there is no virus to begin with.. Even if there is, it isn't harmful.

HIV doesn't lead to AIDS.

Who knows, you probably would not have been able to make this post, cos you probably would have died before 5yrs of age from malaria or diarrhoea, if WHO had stayed away.

Hi nairaland Family,

kindly help out, i had to create this alternative moniker because I'm widely known here with my other moniker.

I'm a female nairalander, today is really a black Thursday for me. I have lost total Focus and concentration, very depressed at the moment. I'm diagnosed with HIv positive, being crying since morning. the worst part of it is, i'm a virgin, had never sex with any man in my entire life. I was advised to start taking medications immediately...

doctors and well experienced nairalanders in the house, will this medication prolong my life? will it cost me expenses? or the HIV will one day turn to AIDS despite the medication? I'm deeply confused!


kindly help push this to the front page, God bless you all!

There is ABSOLUTELY no need to fret unnecessarily. Overcome yourself and move forward. A tiny proportion nof persons may get infected either vertically through birth or unethical blood transfusion or even needle pricks etc.

Visit a nearby clinic of your choosing and start medication immediately.

As at today there is no drug that can eradicate the virus completely (beware of scam). However the medication would keep the virus suppressed such that you can live your 'normal' life and fulfill the number of your days in absolute sound health like any uninfected person. Arguably, it's better to have HIV and live positively than Hepatotis B (as at today, at least).

You would only need to ABSOLUTELY adhere to your meds, taking them as instructed, when instructed. You MUST develop that discipline.

Be assured that while positive and virally suppressed you can lead a normal life, including marrying someone who is negative and not transmitting the virus and having uninfected kids.

WARNING: Feeling of grief and regrets and depression would come. Watch out for them. Just keep taking your meds. Beware of 'pastors', nairaland healers and herbal medical practitioners. This league is beyond them.

The earlier you started medication the better. If you stop your medication at anytime or fall into the familiar trap of embracing other forms of treatment in lieu of conventional medical care, then YOU HAVE USED YOUR HAND TO KILL YOURSELF.

Perhaps you can message me if you need someone to talk with. I'd be too glad to share the little info i have.

Stay well.

[quote author=earthsync post=74275493]That doctor needs to be ripped off his job, how unprofessional. [/quote

Did u read the post? Did you understand it?

walex2:
take note of the following points
1 your sister went for an HIV test but from the report it also include STI
2 STI test must include breast examination 3 all your points are after thoughts, cos your sister is 25 and was she sleeping while the doctor was violating her as you claimed? then why not resisting it or raising her voice at that points
4 the NMA chairman did a good follow up to your inquiry but you made a wrong statement by saying he was taking side with the doctor
5 you have no case, please don't dent someone career as your sister was neither a virgin nor molested

Dont mind the dumb school boy with his horde of nairaland-educated lawyers and activists.

He should be encouraged to take the matter further so the doctor can make example of them

As expected, only a few reasonable comments.


Doctors and nurses are never liked. Let them learn to practice defensively.

As so many nairaland lawyers and activists have suggested, let the doctor be reported and/or sued, if she feels violated. The NMA should avail them all the reporting channels. Let the doctor also be ready to claim for willful defamation and wrong accusation if the allegation is proved wrong.

Kolping:
My understanding is this:
A U.S. green card is a permanent residency card while a U.K. Tier 2 visa is a temporary residency visa. With a green card, after 5 years you can apply for U.S. citizenship. With a Tier 2 visa, you have to work 5 years before you can apply for permanent residency, which is called indefinite leave to remain in the U.K., then you can apply for U.K. citizenship

At the end of the day, it will depend on what your final goal is and how quickly you want to achieve it.

Thanks man.

Cohabiting is simply “living together with”. So, should unmarried folks live together?

Generally, married people live together, except for some rare exceptions of course. However, people seem to be divided in opinions when it comes to the question of whether or not couples that are not legally married should live together, for varying reasons.

It has become common to see young people who are engaged or merely dating cohabiting, and this seems either awkward or straight out wrong to certain people. For these people it either crosses their conservative boundaries or it runs against their logic.

According to Halima: “People who aren’t married yet shouldn’t be staying together. Cohabitation is for married people because they are more equipped to deal with the consequences, not unmarried couples.”

She also argued that people who aren’t married yet should create certain spaces for themselves to make the relationship more solid. Moreover, she added, if they get married they will have a whole lifetime to live together. So why the rush?

In agreeing with Halima, Blessing, a hairdresser said that a girl staying with her boyfriend or any partner she’s not legally married to only makes her a mere possession of her boyfriend and that locks her away from other potential relationships with the right people. According to her, young people should have the space and freedom to explore for themselves and living with a partner robs them of that.

However, Peter disagreed strongly. He argued that people who are hoping to get married could live together in preparation for their marriage. He insisted that living together builds a tighter bond between the couple and that they also learn more about themselves. He said too that living together will give them a glimpse of what being married to each other would be like, and with that they can decide whether or not they are willing to tie the knot in the long run. Moreover, he added, living together saves the cost of rent.

So, here’s a question for the readers: Is it appropriate for unmarried couples to live together?

Source: https://cover9ja.com/on-cohabiting-right-or-wrong/

Straight answer tobthe question without reading the epistle: WRONG. Why? cos its wrong in God's sight

Reelmii:
this is a lesson to those that are fat

exsecise is very important

Obesity is a significant modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular ailments.

The history is familiar..pulmonary embolism is not unlikely..in saner climes, it could be salvaged, especially cos she had a few 'golden' hours for intervention. Its a pity.

ehie:
Pls Sue the hospitals for negligence,an example has to be made to ensure that this does not occur again

Totally agree; Lets sue the hospitals for negligence so that such doesn't occur again.
We also sue road users so our road wouldn't be bad again.

LagosismyHome:
I lived in both country so my feedback is : it depends on many factors , how old are you , what school did you finish from, how long ago you finished your MBBS (in your case 6 years) and also it depends on what specialist program .

That been said , i have seen many doctors from Nigeria been able to match in the US or in the UK been able to enter the system easily . So i think either way you might not lose if it works out well and other Nigerians have been able to cross the bridge .

However the UK is easier in terms of exams and entering the system . The UK has an upper hand in terms of after you pass Plab 2 and get GMC registration you can work in a locum capacity until you get into a residency program..Locum are well paid as well so you wont be hungry. You dont need filing from employer which is a good point too . , but the US, your working as a doctor is dependent on that you graduate from a residency program and initial matching is a lot of work as well . You have an advantage that you dont need H1B ..... so UK versus US which is easier i would say UK . who on the long run earns more money , i would say US but both are very comfortable after you break through . ... which do you choose ?. only you can make that determination .

Thanks a lot.

Jaqenhghar:
That last line just did it for me. Pls go and sleep and pray that none of your loved ones go through what people go through in the hands of your " heroes"

I have lost loved one in the hands of care givers.

Nigeria is the problem, not your doctors or nurses.

The Nigerian Healthcare workers are heroes. Very soon there would be national health workers day

Jaqenhghar:
Its always the fault of the patients. Always is. Ill tell the story of my mum. For 3 months they couldnt make a diagnosis. Im not even saying give me a cure jist tell us what is wrong with the woman. Upon all the xrays, scans, ct scans, numerous tests, hundred of thousands of naira , visits to various consultants uet they could t make a simple diagnosis. But according to you its still the patient's fault. SMH

Doctors/Nurses are not gods. Medicine is not magic.
Even in the US people have conditions that defy modern science. A few years ago, HIV was an enigma. There was no solution. 20 years later, its a different story.

Look, its not enough to come online and submit bogus claims to prove a point.

Healthcare workers in Nigeria are working 'magic' in a hopelessly broken system.

As bad as your Nigerian doctors and nurses, who cannot even diagnose your mum, they leave the shores of Nigeria and excel.

People have run to India and have returned in body bags.

Do you recall an ex-minister who was diagnosed of cancer in Nigeria, but went abroad and got wrongly diagnosed. Accepting the wrong diagnosis to be superior since it was from outside Nigeria, relaxed for some years, only to find out the truth much later which led to her death?

Celebrate the Nigerian healthcare workers. They are our heroes.

Gkemz:
The same way FMC Owerri killed three persons from my compound last year out of negligence who before their deaths had minor issues and again this year killed my friend's pregnant wife during child delivery.

I understand your pain but pls take heart. May your brother RIP.

Bros, you funny die.

Only you 3 persons in your compound. Wetin una do?
So You never heard a woman can die giving birth to make your friend's strange?

helpee:
thanks @madridguy for calling my attention to this. Since she claimed it was attested to by the doctor, I won't say a mistake wasn't made here. Though appearance has nothing to do with blood. It is the blood group that matters. For example, I can give O negative blood to anybody. So if your blood group is btve, I can give you Btve now and the second pint may be o positive so it may not exactly be the same. But it must be compatible. But there are several blood types not commonly tested that can still cause reaction so even if it is compatible, it can still cause reaction. But blood reaction doesn't mean INSTANT DEATH. In a normal hospital, it rarely cause death because we will know there is reaction. Once there is reaction, we will just stop it, give a certain drip, certain injections to limit the spread. Even without a doctor...a nurse can start the treatment because normally you would have given down instruction in the casenote that IN CASE OF BLOOD TRANSFUSION REACTION...DO THIS AND THAT. So, this may be a genuine case of carelessness which is rare. You know why? You will need to send sample to the lab, the lab will crossmatch the blood with what they have, they will release it with a note stating the blood group of the patient and the blood group of the donor. The doctor or nurse putting it up too would have checked. So it must have passed through at least two officials. Don't forget the blood would have been taking to central bank if it is Lagos where they too would have confirmed the blood type and out logo. We will now remove the logo and put it on the patient card. So while I am not saying mistake is not possible since we are all humans, it is rare and there will be facts backing it up

Nairaland is an open market, where even the sub-intelligent and juveniles come air their uneducated opinion.

You even try to dey provide feedback.

Anyone who actually read and comprehended the post knows the lady is grieving over her loss. Such vague claims are not sufficient to recommend legal action.

I believe there are UK/US-based doctors here that's why im making this long post. What do you guys think.

I have the opportunity of moving to the US on a green card, and also the UK on spousal visa (tier 2).

Now, if i go to the US, i'd need to take usmle (target is residency). But i'm worried. What are my chances of matching, being that i am 6 years post med schl (read a lot of discouraging testimonials by IMGs online).

The PLAB pathway seems shorter, less expensive and less stressful, but should i throw away the opportunity of being a US LPR?

How is life in the UK vs US , and vice versa (never stepped out of Naija before).

My spouse is comfortable to relocate anywhere i prefer, so long the family is together.

Pls what do i chose. UK and take PLAB (shorter, less stressful) or US (as a legal permanent resident) and take USMLE (with an air of uncertainty with matching for residency training).

I'd appreciate your thoughts.

Hello,

I wouldn't know if this is the appropriate 'room' for this.

Permit me to ask, is MouthAction (specifically MouthAction, cunninlingus) a sin among married christian (born again) couples?
What can be considered a 'safe sinless sexual allowance' or to what extent can sexual activity go among married christian individuals?

Opinions are welcome.

Ps: System may have edited some words

DNA

If you have sex with a man, his DNA lives in you forever.

A research by university of Seattle USA has proven that.
There is now a greater understanding of why God asks us not to have sex before we get married.

This research proves that any man, that a woman has sex with leaves a part of his DNA in the woman.

The man who has had more sex with her, leaves more of his DNA in the woman. So when a woman ovulates, the eggs that she produces contain more of other DNAs.

So we need to educate the girlchild to remain a virgin till marriage.

Anytime you have sex with another man you become one with that man (spiritually too) and carry the man's DNA.

At some point when you have too many of the male DNA in you; you change, because your cells are changing.

That also proves why when married couples live together for a long time they end up looking alike. The woman's DNA changes when she has sex with men. This is very serious.

The world should know this and stop silly sex promotions.

It is bad than good.
Unfortunately women are the victims.

This was found out in many other research articles mostly released this year. So it is new and we all have to know.

The fact is, women retain DNA from every man they have slept with.

Cells transferred from a man to a woman during intercourse become integrated into the woman's body after sex, every single time they have sex.

This study found the presence of genetically distinct male cells in the brain of women. This also means these other male cells will be found in a foetus when the woman gets pregnant.

(This is called microchimerism.)

Every male you absorb sperm from becomes a living part of your life. Sperm is a living substance. Living cells. It enters your bloodstream and collects in your brain and spine.

Stop experimenting with sex.

When the sperm enters a woman it swims until it hits a wall and then seeps into your flesh.

If it's in your mouth, (abomination) it can get into your nasal areas, behind your eyes and even your inner ear. It then enters your bloodstream and collects in your brain and spine. You can never get rid of it.

It becomes a part of you forever. These are the true consequences of sexual intercourse.

Original research is from University of Seattle and Fred Hutchinson cancer research center.

They accidentally found this when they were researching to find out why pregnant women carrying boys get men neurological diseases.

This is real and not a joke.!!!

Stop having sex if you are not married.

And stop having sex with other than your husband, for the married.

The consequences of doing this is devastating.(Bastards)!!
No wonder the world is the way it is!

Say no to sex when not married.
Say no to EXTRA-MARITAL affairs also.

Trash.
"Voodoo science"
Its cheap to use lies to condemn extra/pre-marital coitus

neonly:
I had a similar issues but not d operating thing sha
I had thyroid went to mint hospital in front of queens college I was admitted spend two months plus no improvement I notice of something anytime am been given one particular capsule everything start over again(indosid) I complain to d nurse she beg me pls dint let them say it my fault dat what doctor say I should give u
Doctor came to me privately what wrong dint u want to go home I told her abt d drugs immediately she stop it two days later I was running up nd down healthy dat I want to go home

Isn't it best not to mention names when you are not sure of what you'r saying. Its libel

donbenie:
She was not injected with Formalin,trust me she would most likely not be alive to be narrating her ordeal if such was the case,Formalin is very distinct with an unmistakable smell and would have caused SEVERE tissue damage..
She most likely had a severe reaction to the anaesthetic drug coupled with wrong injection site which would lead to the partial paralyses..

Thank you. What a relief.
This is the single most educated comment from this 'literate' lot.
Well done!
