Events like this should evoke introspection from our political leaders.

You can't smear pepper on your nose and not expect it to hurt your eyes.

Those who have wickedly abandoned our health infrastructure would someday be faced with the reality of what the ordinary Nigerian grapples with.

Wickedness has blinded us from realising not every medical condition would allow you time to be 'ferried' abroad for care.

Tinubu's son suffered an acute cardiac emergency a functional emergency system should have been able to salvage. Now Yusuf Buhari suffers a traumatic brain injury. I'm sure his parents would be suprised to know he can't be taken abroad until he is stable enough.

Our public hospitals including ALL TEACHING HOSPITALS are DEAD. We are still in the medieval age of medicine.

Traumatic brain injury is not a big deal. Ideally, State House Medical Centre should have the capital to handle a case like this. Why Cedarcrest? Why not National Trauma Centre? If the case is very bad at Cedarcrest,, why not referral to National Trauma Centre, if they are confident? Should that not be the ideal?

Shame on Nigeria!!

I read here where people are bashed for not 'sympathising' with the first family. Shame on us! Little wonder we are taken for granted.
No one life is greater than another. Who is organizing prayers for Yusuf's friend and family. They don't have the capacity to hurt or feel helpless?

Away with the hypocrisy. Nigerians die everyday from bad roads, lack of basic healthcare, fulani-herdsmanism; who sympathises with us.
Abeg, let everyman lick their wounds.

Every Nigerian life is equal and the same.

goodnews777:
What do you expect when out of over 200 million people you chose an illiterate and a religious bigot . Nigekrians give me the impression that they love suffering.

Truth be told: we deserve the type of leadership we have. We made our choice. We should learn to enjoy the outcome. We can't eat our cakes and have them, can we?

What a 'wonderful' gift. Happy Holidays from APC-led govt!!

A few months into assumption of duties, the tell-tale signs of a failed govt was evident even to the blind, yet apologetics were on the trenches defending the obvious. As far as remarking that "PDP had 16years, pls give APC more time" . You'd be surprised not a few persons still hold that view. Nothing can be more ridiculous. SHAME!!

Good governance has measurable indices, our political membership or ethno-religious association cannot change that.

Evidently, this govt has failed (long ago sha, most NTA watchers are just getting to know).

Lets prepare now to get it right. Get your voters card ready. The dumbest of us cannot continue leading us.

Hofbrauhaus:
Shame!

Shame on this useless country.. Shame on Buhari..Shame on zombies..Shame on Buharis media cows(BMC). Shame on all those who voted this d3ad animal into power..Shame!!

Bros calm down, so you don't rupture a blood vessel. We are in this for the long haul.

A people are deserving of the quality of leadership they get.

Our anger mostly does not translate to change in leadership. The seemingly literate Nigerian masses have retrograde amnesia when its time to exercise their power. We suddenly forget about core issues, bicker about 'shadows', and vote according to emotional dictate and ethno-religious leaning.

Its same story from the 1-million-man-march for Abacha till date!!

I'm not pessimistic, we have not seen the end, until the mechanism of leadership election changes. Only the people can enforce that change during elections.

ABUJA: Just bought 3800/10L with plea along the ONEX, just in front of NNPC mega station. After moving from one aboki to another. Some insist on 400/L with an air of 'if you nor wan buy leave am'

This argument is pointless.

Just a couple of remarks:

Any hard working professional /highly trained/skilled person (not sure about untrained/unskilled hustlers) can succeed anywhere with time; it depends on your definition of success, what your life goals and values are.

But clearly certain environments are more conducive and supportive of helping serious minded folks achieve their fullest potentials, irrespective of background and creed.

Some of the professors that inspired me the most when i was a student were those who had the opportunity to train in the Western world. Their mindset, motivation, world view and how they see their students and colleagues were clearly different from their indigenous contemporaries.

I had a teacher in my final year (an HOD) who was an anti-abroad crusader (introduces every lecture with a discouragement of young pple going abroad). He had the chance to travel to South Africa for a scientific conference where, according to him, he met one of his classmates, who was not as sound intellectually way back in the days. Strangely, about 1 year after my lecturer returned from South Africa, he resigned from his job were he was a senior personnel and a senior lecturer to emigrate to South Africa, where he resides till date, much to our disappointment. We never had the chance to find out what influenced his decision.

There is no basis for comparison of life in Nigeria vs 'abroad' , because our priorities, values and life pursuit are as far apart as day and night. The parameters for measurement are not the same.

The earth is the Lord's. Please know what you want and chose an environment that best supports it!

gammarays:
A good development
its better Nigeria loss the aid
what have we been doing with the previous aids apart from looting and enriching a few individuals.

Bros, the left over from the loot still does a lot for us. In the event of cessation of US aid, watch how our health indices (not the Ministry of Health version) would perform.

I work in the development sector and i know what US aid means to Nigeria (the left-over from the statutory loot).

If US aid stops, there would be a public health disaster in Nigeria. Anyway it wouldn't matter because our govt has never really cared about the life of Nigerians.

We know how hard reduction in aid of the present administration is pinching how much more a total cessation.

Lexusgs430:
Accommodation in Surrey would be more expensive on the average.....

Depends on the wage the jobs are offering and where you intend to reside.....

You might pay a higher rent, but be much closer to work (saving on cost of transport & time). Than pay lesser rent, but be further away from your work (paying all + more saved on transport)....

Rail travel in the UK could cost you about £600 - £1200 pcm.

So lots of things to consider, before accepting any job offers......

Thanks.

Tedpgrass:
Eastbourne is cheaper in terms of cost of living . seaside community, relatively small hospital:--- good landing pad to settle upon arrival

get ur exams out of the way quickly
do extra hours to increase income
if you have children, may look at private education as schools aren't top-notch

overall actively network via postgrad college in local areas n London is just 1.5 hr away on train, so good accessibility..

get good mentors and set targets_-- short and longterm with SMART objectives

can look to living on the Brighton border after awhile:--- loads of Naija in Brighton

hope that helps


.

Thanks man!

Inkredible:
What kind of job are you guys getting like this?
Tell me abeg, make I go read am sharp sharp. You pipu can't leave me here like this.

Two job offers?? Wawu!!

Is it news that brexit with a lack of Nigerian govt interest in Nigeria's health sector is favouring brain drain?

Hi everyone,

This thread is an eye opener for me. The argument on creditcard was informative.

I see a lot of diasporans (UK) here, so i thought to ask (no intent on derailing pls!).

Have 2 job offers presently; one in Eastbourne (east sussex) and the other in Redhill, Surrey. Please i'd like some information on both places in terms of cost of living etc

I'd appreciate any help, as i have a few days to finalize.
TIA.

Pride of life, lust of flesh; vanity!!

With due respect, the article is trashy, poorly researched and not reviewed by someone knowledgeable.

Intending couples need not do all those tests.

Lets stop sharing 'toxic' information in public domains.

success2k7:
Once again, it's well with you. You are a winner come what may!

Thanks for the advice for other intending immigrant nurses in the house.

If u wouldn't mind, I want to ask if your I-140 was filled with a BSn or Nursing diploma? Just trying to figure out what the problem could probably be at the I-140 stage and to see how we (others) can avoid this disappointment if it is something we can avoid. Or is the problem peculiar to avant because I'm still as much bewildered as you are.

Even if you are going to try out the UK route, never still quit the US process since u are already licensed. At worst, you get another agent to file for u. It's never a closed case at all. Pls don't give up too easily on this. I can have a feel of what you are passing through right now, all the same, don't give up to the disappointment. My personal opinion! Let others give their own contributions pls.

Thank you.

I applied with a nursing diploma (doubly qualified) with about 6 years continuous clinical experience. I don't think the i-140 has got anything to do with whether an application is filed with a nigerian nursing degree or diploma. The important thing is that i have an active US RN license with supposedly a job offer and evidence that employer can pay.

I am wont to know if this recent development is peculiar to AVANTS or other agencies are affected. Any info with respect to this would be appreciated.

Thanks for your kind words.

AntiWailer:
Get this from the pharmacy


Dazel kit :

The pack contains fluconazole,azithromycin and seznidazole.

You must stay away from sex for 7 days after use.

Dear OP,

Follow through to your peril. Treatment is incomplete. Anti-fungal not indicated for bacterial urethritis.

Best bet? Go to a hospital. Anyone in 2017 that would prefer to go online rather than the hospital is unserious about their health.

Have your sexual contact(s) treated too. So your brother is not a victim tomorrow.

Most importantly, abstain from sex until married. Not popular but best for you, that is assuming you like your life.

IYIMAN:
Sorry about the development. What did avant say is the cause of the denial? What did they say is the way forward? Is avant now done with you?

Thanks.

AVANT apologized profusely. They said it was due to 'lack of leadership at the uscis'. My understanding from their mail was that there may have been some changes in immigration rule. They are to get some documentation sorted (i think Dept of labour doc or so) with uscis after which they would reapply for me. I also got to understand most of their application were denied, but i don't know if its avant only that is affected. They have not reverted to say when they are applying for me or specific timelines they are working with (very unlike AVANT).

I'm just so drained emotionally now. I'm seriously thinking of cbt. Its far less stressful

Just an advise to any nurse having emigration dreams..until you get ur visa/travel documents PLS DON'T QUIT YOUR JOB OR STUDIES, cos if the whole thing goes south you would have deep regrets.

Colleagues,

I'm an NCLEX holder with a Colorado board license sponsored by AVANTS..Just received news my I-140 was denied and i really feel frustrated and unsure of my next steps. I'm thinking of putting in for CBT and forgetting the US thingy altogether (put in 18months to get here with avants). You guys think its a good idea.

Honestly im an emotional reck these days after hearing the news of my denial. I can't say im in the best mind frame to make a sound decision. PLEASE SOMEONE TALK TO ME!

Chummy25:
Hello house,
I need to know if any of the USA state's that does not require finger print, CGFN exam and SSN for Nclex RN exam . I have tried to read the about all the states and their requirements but it's still confusing.
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Colorado does not require cgfns, finger print or ssn for nclex

Real men take responsibility for their action. They don't find escape through suicide when faced with the consequences of their choices; its cowardice.

This is 2017, HIV is no longer a death sentence, free and safe medications are available. A lot of ground breaking research that would revolutionize care are on-going. Hopefully soon, we should have a once in 3 months injectible for PLHIVs, and a vaccine in the horizon by 2020.

Pls if infected, get professional help, not suicide.

For those who are sexually promiscuous, be aware that HIV is arguably the friendliest virus you could acquire.

Lets abstain from sexual immorality, it has no benefit..prevention is better than cure

xarm:
I was having some strange symptoms recently, so i went to the chemist's and complained, immediately i explain myself to the person i met there, his response was that i will need to do tests o, i was like haba is it up to that? He said in fact i will need to do about three tests, i agreed and i told him i don't know how to go about it, and he brought out a form that i will take to a nearby medical laboratory, inside the form he tick the type of test i will be doing and his first choice was HIV test follow by urinary test and urine M/C/S, i was so surprised to see hiv among them but as a clean guy no cause for alarm, i went for the test the next day and i got d HIV test result same day, and as expected, the results is NEGATIVE also all the test under urinary tests is NEG except leucocyte which shows that there's a trace, i was told to come back 3 days later for urine m/c/s and behold when i got the result 3 days later the result show that i was diagnosed with heavy growth of staphylococcus std, i went to the chemist's to show the man the result and he said i will need to take 5 injection and some drugs, while still taking the injection the man confirmed to me that is an std virus i got from someone and he want to know how i got it and i told him that i have never seen an adult pussyy physically before talk less of doing it, which was true, i don't know why there's no justice on earth, my friend Bleep anything fucckable and nothing happen to him but why me the innocent Virgin above 20 will be diagnosed with std? I'm done with my treatment and drug after spending more than 10k yet it seems there's no much improvement, pls who knows about this virus?

'staphylococcus std virus' does not exist.

The money you spent was more than enough to get proper treatment in your near by general hospital. You just dashed a set of charlatans.

Although Nigerians relish deceit, we would keep preaching; there is nothing like staph causing infection, infertility, irregular menses, low sperm count,and all the noise you hear from 'motor park doctors'

shervydman:
imagine........oyinbos are the greatest enemy of the blacks.

On the contrary, the black man is his own enemy.

famzynet:
You made a big point here. Those in the field know that quacks abound and every genuine doctor knows when to refer a case. Removal of ovarian cyst in any good private hospital in Portharcourt is nothing less than 130k. Abuja should be higher. So how come such surgery was charged 45k in Abuja. It goes a long way to tell you the facility the man visited. Cheap things dey turn belle sometimes. Joke apart,I don't think the CMD is a qualified doctor. There are many people pretending to be doctors in Nigeria.

They don't listen. When shit hits the roof they claim ignorance.

No govt hosp in Abuja would collect 45k for that type of surgery, talk more of private. They don't have time for govt hosp cos they want it sharp sharp. Not everything is 'MMM'

I pity the poor wife who would have to deal with this

GreatUniben:
Many doctors in Nigeria are rubbish, they are every where with knife ready to operate on you, even if its just ordinary headache, so that you will pay big bills. God punish devil

While i respect your view, it is very uninformed and obviously unintelligent. Nigeria boosts of some of the finest doctors in the world. Some of the doctors you run to in the US, UK and elsewhere are Nigerians.

The failure of govt to provide basic healthcare for the poor and regulatory failure in establishment and practise of private healthcare outfits has seen a rise in quackery to fill up the space. The system like every other in Nigeria is rotten and unguarded so its every businessman's turf.

Most Nigerians don't listen. Healthcare is NOT CHEAP, if you can't afford it please go to a good govt hosp (at least in Abuja) and be patient. Lets stop this ponzi scheme mentality, no body would collect 45k from you for a major surgery like ovarian cystectomy and you expect a good outcome.

After sacrificing his wife to the butcher, where did he raise money for the extensive corrective surgery at the public hospital, where he could have gone ab initio.

Nyanya general hosp is just about #300 away from his location.

The "doctor" is evil, the husband is wicked.

Oga leave story, even if you don't smoke, drink, fornicate, masturbate,steal, kill or even live in the monastery. YOU WILL STILL DIE, maybe before the so called sinners.... Though this is not a justification for immorality. But sometimes we just have to say FVCK IT and Live Life a Little.

Just for the records, abstaining from sin does not make you live forever..

Hey, live life to its 'fullest' afterall na something go kill man, the giver would ask for account someday, thats a constant

FitnessDoctor:
Hello guys its your favorite health blogger, Paul Samuel FitnessDoctor

In 2009, several studies indicated that about 75% of women may never reach orgasm (the big O) from intercourse alone, in 2016, it went as high as 80%. Also, I am yet to meet a man who would say "no" to a getting a good head but let's go into the health perspective of all this, you might want to stop having oral s£x after reading this.

Now, I use condoms for mainly two reasons, in fact, we all use condoms for two reasons, to prevent STDs and pregnancy. When it comes to oral s£x, all those safety precautions are thrown out the window and everything happens raw (most of us never thought of that).

Oral s£x leads to transfer of many STDs, gonorrhea, chlamydia, syphilis, herpes, human papillomavirus (HPV) also known to cause throat cancer, HIV you name it.

These STDs affect mostly the mouth and throat when gotten through oral s£x, but there are other possiblities that it may affect your rectum, urinary tract and genital area.

So How Do You Go About It?

This might seem like bad advice to many ladies and men who can't keep their sexual urge (Konji) in check but.

1. Stick to One Partner (it's much safer)
2. Know Your Partner's Status (which many of us don't)
3. Use a condom during Mouth Gig or dental clamp (doesn't provide 100% protection, but it is sue to reduce the chances of your contracting something).

So there you have it.

You can join me on my blog from 7am every morning for new articles

Meet the Couple Whose Orgasms Can Last Up to 18 Hours
http://www.realfitbody.com/2017/10/meet-couple-whose-orgasms-can-last-up.html

This generation is confused and enjoys groving in darkness. THE FEAR OF GOD ( and obedience of his instructions) is the begining of safety.
There is a certain evil attached to disobeying the ways of God, who by the way, created the universe (you don't have to agree) and scripted the laws and principles of safe and healthy living.

The surest way to avoid STDs and its attendant complication is:
1. ABSTEINANCE for the unmarried.
2.MUTUAL FAITHFULNESS for the married.

Use condom from now till eternity, the 'soul that sinneth would surely die', God's word stands sure irrespective of our self-deceptive and intellectual views. Its just so easier to fear God than waste energy devising unprofitable ways to circumvent the instructions of God.

This view is not popular, but does not change the truth!

casa101:
Please can anyone connect me to a Priest/Pastor in fact anyone that can help me with Deliverance that is not fake.

I am 29 yrs old Medical Doctor. I stay in Lagos and work in a hospital(name withheld). My story started yrs ago wen I was very small that is in pri. Sch. Then I used to have sex in my dreams but never discussed it with any1 bc I don't know what to call it. But the sex in my dreams continued till date.

Again at a time I got worried but i bluffed it saying it was just a dream that it meant nothing. But now it seems it meant something after all.

During all those years till now I always have issues with relationships. Once I sleep or starts sleeping with any girlfriend of mine within 1wk the friendship ends especially if it is someone I planned dating.

But I observed something too then any girl that is just a friend but just sleeps with me in terms of mutual/friends with benefits without any luv or r/ship thing attached to the end used to last.

So when I noticed it I started keeping girls as just friends or mutual one. Luckily I got plenty for mutual friends but what baffled me most was that one that i used to sleep with in my 100l to 200l said one day "nawaoo why can't I get pregnant for you upon we have been sleeping together for over a yr without condom and yet she never take in. I became worried and decided to go for sperm analysis test. It came out fine but when another girl said the same thing again last 3yrs. I decided to find 3 runs girls that I paid to be having sex with me during their window periods to see if they will take in and willing to abort. From the day I started sleeping with them none ever took in. They said Oga you have a problem, go and get help". Note that we carried test on the 3 of them and it showed they are fertile and fit to get pregnant. But I never looked for an answer till date.

But then on Friday I went out with a friend that i planed dating but yet to sleep with her but that night it happened.

Hell broke loose yesterday when she called me yesterday and was so angry with me saying.. In her words "why did u not tell me you have a marine wife "?.. I was like what?.. She then continued saying that have I ever asked myself why can't i get into a serious r/ships , my episodes of sex in my dreams and getting someone pregnant. Don't you know the person you are sleeping with in your dreams?".. I was shocked bc of how she knew?

I asked her who told her and how come she knew about this problem?.. When I knew that I have never discussed it with her or anyone. She now said she met with my spiritual wife and that I should forget getting r/ship, married or having kids without her permission. I should seek for her(spiritual wife). Then as for her I should never talk to her about love and r/ship unless I want to just be having sex with her which she permitted her to give me. Besides she is an Ogbanje so I should not be surprised as she knew..

Now I seriously need a deliverance bc it is now giving me worries.. I will appreciate any help pls. Thank you

If this is true, you need Jesus, not a pastor. If otherwise, you also need Jesus..'He that the son sets free is free indeed'

1Rebel:
Terrorism has no religion.

It does!

WotzupNG:
When they thought they have become enlightened, they abandoned Christianity to embrace atheism. What they don't know is that mankind was created to worship and to worship YAHWEH only. The moment they abandoned Christianity, they exposed themselves to other forms of worship e.g atheism (worship of self) and even satanism.

The vacuum left behind by the reducing Christianity in the West is now getting filled by Islam and it's murderous tendencies. They ditched Christ, now they have no choice but to enjoy terrorism. The sad part is that they have been so blinded to the point of even supporting the mass influx of Arabs and their barbaric ways into Europe.

Christ is the only Salvation for mankind.

Not a popular view, but nothing can be more true.
