If this was to be the USA, She would still be one of the best dressed students.

So is this the USA??

Dumte:
And what is wrong with this? If I am the parent and she reports to me that any teacher harassed her for designing henna, I will take the matter to a place where the owner of the school will pay dearly for his non-challant attitude.

I'm a Christian but I can't tolerate rubbish in the name of religion.

And as I speak, I teach in one of the private schools in the north, it is the northerns part of markup during their festive period and we must honor them.

Damm the teacher who'll lash a stroke of cane on my child for doing that.

Can you tell us where? Before we take you seriously.

Times change and even archaic mindsets change too, any discerning mind will know that I brought up the Australian lawmakers with their native maori tattoos to show that in a civilised society traditions and customs are not looked at with disdain, if the tatoos are customary to the Hausa people why should you purnish the child for that especially when their parents didn't complain, will you also punish a child for tribal mark, if it was a white person that did this I will understand, but a Black African to consider punishing a child for partaking in her culture over the holidays, it's quite shameful

Oga, use common sense nah, nobody is saying a student cannot dress or design their bodies in whatever way they please, but what we're saying is, why take it to school - a school that has a standard requirement for how a student should appear. So, in those Australian settings you're talking about, do the kids of those people appear in such manners in schools, I'm talking about western schools where there is a regulated manner in which a student should appear? Even in the US, some medical students are rejected because they have visible tattoos. Rules are rules and they must be obeyed. If you're not pleased, send your kids to schools where those are allowed or create your own school. The same applies when some muslim kids try to wear hijabs to catholic schools. What the heck!

nengibo:
Yes, like you rightly said it's their tradition and culture, these are lawmakers in Australia of Maori descent, let's stop using Caucasian standard to judge African people

Excuse me?? In what standards are the academic work in school taught? Why didn't you write wassce or jamb in Igbo or Yoruba? And why study orthodox medicine or pharmacy in university? You could as well study traditional herbalism or ifa instead. Why not create your own traditional school where you create your own syllabus and not follow caucasian academic standards. Smh

Went to a Nigerian church for the first time today out of curiosity. No drama so far

travelwaka:
The moment you realize that an IPhone 12 is 1500 dollars where as it's 500,000 in Naira. You realize this analysis is just wrong. Your analysis only make sense to a Foreigner coming to Nigeria. But imagine a Business owner or manufacturer who used to buy a $100 resources at 15,000 when dollar was 150 naira then all of a sudden the same resources after 5 years is still $100 but it will now cost him and 46,000 naira which is triple the original price.

Whenever your currency is going bad it only favours foreigners coming into your country it doesn't favour the citizens.

From your analysis. A foreigner who can only buy 1 bottle water with 1 dollar comes in and all of a sudden he can buy 6, but you who is supposed to buy 6 goes into the international terrain, you can only buy 1.


Lastly if you are talking about purchasing power , you are supposed to pair it 1 naira to 1
dollar and not 1 dollars 480 naira .

Think about this your analysis again.

I read his analysis and just shook my head. He's talking about purchasing power without considering wages and cost of living. A crate of egg can cost like $2 in the US or a bottle of coke $1, whereas the minimum wage in a state like California is close to $15. That means a California resident can easily afford 15 crates of eggs daily by working only 2 hours. Is the same possible in Nigeria?

DjHypno:
The question is can they still meet up to the level of their early days hilarious comedies

They can't. They look much different now. They can't play the role of kids again. Plus, people's interest have changed nowadays. That old style can't work for today's world. We better just enjoy their old clips.

Writing the exam makes the VO to look like you that you're serious about your academics but since the pandemic as hit, the requirements has been relaxed but my advise still stands on write on for writing sake

How will the VO know who wrote or didn't write an a test?

Ayemileto:
Well, most of those "countries" have systems that take care of health care, so patients don't have to abscond.

Health care is free in Most south America and European countries, while countries it isn't free have insurance.

But none of such exists in Nigeria here.

Go to Cotonou next door to Nigeria, patients abscond from hospitals there all the time. Or ask anyone you know. Yet, they don't just reject patients at the emergency anyhow, even if such patients who absconded in the past show up again. They neither have insurance nor free healthcare.

When a patient in a critical condition who is in a coma or unable to speak is brought to an emergency unit, how does the doctor determine that the patient does not have health insurance? I do know a few people who have health insurance in Nigeria, it's not like health insurance does not exist in Nigeria. In a situation where one of those few who have health insurance in Nigeria is rushed to a hospital in a critical condition after a ghastly accident unable to speak, how does the doctor determine immediately that he does not have health insurance nor the ability to pay when they turn them back immediately?

Even in those western countries where healthcare is not free - such as America - does everyone have health insurance? Do they turn patients who have no ability to pay away?

pacespot:
Nigerians are just plain evil people (every pun intended). Hospital will refuse access to medical treatment for accident and gunshot victims until they see police reports on the ground that any doctor that treats such patients could lose his licence. Let us be realistic, how many doctors have lost their licences due to treating people from gunshot wound or accident compared to the number of people that lost their lives as a result of this ill-concieved practice? That is how one useless good-for-nothing lady was arguing with me on Twitter that only a foolish doctor will treat such people that I'm ignorant of any medical protocols. Imagine, what protocol is more important than saving people's lives, Nigerians tend to show this vainglorious attitude when they attain one position in life that makes them feel they know better than others. The essence and the primary purpose of setting up any medical facilities is to save lives, any other things or protocols are secondary. Even if the person is an armed robber, treat him and inform police about it, he can later face his judgement with the firing squad. In the course of my argument with this irritating lady, I did a little research and found out that government had even enacted "The Compulsory Treatment and Care for Victims of Gunshot" act since 2017 that makes it compulsory for doctor to attend to victims of gunshot and accident and failure to do so could attract fine and jail time for the doctor. [b]The truth is that, we have laws that protect every right of the citizens in this country but people in charge don't implement the laws or only apply them discriminatively based on the people they know or personal and selfish reasons. [/b]Now, I will go back to my first point that Nigeria is a country filled with evil people, only looking for any reason to unleash their evil, police report has now become a demon causing people's lives.

You took the words right out of my mouth. This is why Law remains a lucrative profession here, because people who understand their rights and how these laws apply can easily exploit these loopholes and get tons of people and organizations sued and charged for negligence annually, and make a lot of money through compensation. But again, we live in a country where even our own leaders don't obey court orders, so what is the assurance that you'll get any compensation when you sure? Sigh, I tire for this country o.

urchcoded:
oh for fvck sake I hate this place, majority of inhabitants of Nigeria are just pathetic, no moral, incompetent, corrupt, selfish, illogical, manipulative people. from the nobles to the peasants.

This is exactly why the country is the way it is. The culture of corruption and impunity now transcends every sector. In this case, we are seeing what is a daily occurrence in several hospitals, and, as expected, guilty medics on here are defending the act. But this is not limited to hospitals only. From government high schools where teachers refuse to show up to their classes when they have a class to teach, to colleges where bribery is the order of the day, to police stations, banks, secretariarts, churches, etc. Pretty much every institution is messed up. This is why we are where we are today.

urchcoded:
shut your mouth. referral should come after an attempt to stabilize the patient. not outrightly shutting the door against him and telling him to go to so so so place. incompetent Nonsense people like you should never be in the medical profession

I'm sure he knows that but just trying to lie to himself and other Nigerians - the typical manipulative way of several Nigerian doctors. I responded to him up there.

Granger:
Nigerians need to understand that there is such a thing as REFERRAL. Hospitals do not reject patients they refer them to facilities that are better equipped and referral is a known part of treatment. People need to be educated on how the healthcare system works. Forcing an ill-equipped hospital to take Kn a complex case is very wrong and will likely lead to worse morbidity or mortality.

If this is how referrals work in Nigerian hospitals, then, we are really in a huge mess! This is not standard referral. A critically ill patient is brought in by a private citizen without any first aid, and you expect the same private citizen to transport the patient to another hospital in the guise of a "referral?" Is that what you call a referral?

This hospital has an emergency unit. Immediately the patient is brought in, the hospital should accept the patient, apply first aid, make some examination/imaging and documentation, and if they now confirm that the patient needs to be referred to a different hospital, this hospital should PROVIDE transportation (either via an ambulance or whatsoever), accompanied with a doctor's report from the hospital the patient was initially seen. Now, that is a referral.

You don't attend to a patient at all. You don't even know the diagnosis/prognosis, no imaging or examination whatsoever. How do you know it is a case that you cannot handle? How do you know the right hospital to refer him to when he is not even diagnosed yet? How do you expect the private citizen who brought him in (who may be a good samaritan attending to his own private business) to have the resources to transport him to another hospital? No doctor's report showing anything! And you call that a referral!

crafteck:
Also in Nigeria that patients abscond after treatment to avoid payment

Patients abscond everywhere else to avoid paying, but hospitals by law are required to accept any critically ill patient at the emergency unit, even it is a criminal. In fact, if a patient who absconded during the last time he was treated shows up again at the same emergency unit with a critical injury and the staff recognize him, the hospital is still mandated to admit him again. It is only in Nigeria that this stupid attitude of rejecting patients happen. Travel out and see for yourself. No wonder the country is in shambles.

You must think this is a math class

South Africa is very beautiful! I would like to visit Botswana, Namibia, and Mozambique.

In Sunday's La liga match against Valencia, Lionel Messi equaled Cristiano Ronaldo's freekick record, with both players now on 56 free-kick goals in all competitions. However, Messi achieved this feat with 147 fewer matches. Messi has scored a total of 50 club free-kick goals, 4 more than Ronaldo.

https://twitter.com/BarcaWorldwide/status/1388975193729617922?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Etweet

Ronaldo finished his Man United career with 5 free-kick goals, and within his first 5 seasons in La Liga, he scored 23 free kick goals. However, things started to take a downturn for him from there, as he was only able to score 9 free-kick goals in his final four seasons at Madrid.
In March 2012 when Ronaldo had 30 free-kick goals, Messi had only 5, and ended the year with only 7. Since that time, Messi has transformed totally, scoring an average of 6 free-kick goals every year, and, in fact, scoring 10 in 2018. While things went downhill for Ronaldo, everything soared for Messi.

To put things in perspective, take look at a highlight of their free kick performances:

2009 – 2011
Ronaldo: 21 free-kick goals
Messi: 3 free-kick goals

MARCH 2012
Ronaldo: 23 free-kick goals
Messi: 5 free-kick goals

END OF 2013
Ronaldo: 39 free-kick goals
Messi: 14 free-kick goals

2017 – 2019
Ronaldo: 5 free-kick goals
Messi: 23 free-kick goals

https://www.messivsronaldo.app/detailed-stats/free-kicks/

It should also be noted that both Messi and Ronaldo are not even in the top 10 highest free-kick goal scorers of all time, with that list being topped by Juninho who had 77 goals in his playing career. However, with the pace that Messi is going, no one can confidently say that by the time he ends his career, he wouldn't be the highest free-kick goal scorer ever. Here is a full breakdown of the top 10 free-kick goal scorers of all time:

1. Juninho (77 goals)

2. Pele (70 goals)

3. Victor Legrottaglie (66 goals)

4. Ronaldinho (66 goals)

5. David Beckham (65 goals)

6. Diego Maradona (62 goals)

7. Zico (62 goals)

8. Ronald Koeman (60 goals)

9. Rogerio Ceni (59 goals)

10. Marcelinho Carioca (59 goals)

its a pity you are a victim of rape, but you would have never been allowed to reincarnate if you had succeeded in taking your own life.

Where did you get this your own theory from?

morgang:
I’ve been in the U.S for a couple of months now and I’ll tell you, if you don’t have a “thick” skin, you’ll be depressed. Forget how much you make! To make it worst, being a student with little or no stipends and tons of academic expectations!

Well, I am an extrovert by nature- so I craved a niche for myself. Every weekend, I go to bars or clubs for a bottle of beer or shots. Sometimes I get lucky to meet folks offering to buy me drinks/shots and interested to know more about my culture- sometimes, I get loads of compliments on my dressings. Girls usually are just a bonus! I talk to some with little or no expectations. Well, I might want to improve my online dating profile and see how lucky I could be.

A friend got two girls who casually asked him out on different occasions! Life here is really complex. Just do your thing and put your happiness first, the rest may come naturally.

In essence, I see this place as a land of hustle, make the best out of it and go back home! You can frequent your visits here for vacations.

You are full of wisdom. What part of the US do you reside in?

Tobexin:
learn brother and stop arguing blindly. With MSc nursing(Pre registration) you can practice as a nurse as you will be issued with a valid NMC pin as it is the case in Uk. As far you have a degree you can opt in for the MSc nursing pre registration course and qualify as a nurse.

People argue a lot on Nairaland even on topics they are not informed about, instead of just learning. Even in the example he gave, having an MBBS or MD with a license to practice medicine in the US is still not enough to qualify you to practice medicine there. You still need residency training. Get an MBBS and a medical license (USMLE) - you still cannot practice medicine in the US if you don't go through residency.

[quote author=d33types post=99892590]

Kindly revert back to my first post.
She can have a masters degree in nursing, however if the intention is to practice nursing, it's impossible without the rn or first degree. The best the the person can indulge in, is research,but not practice.

You keep giving wrong information. Again, let's speak authoritatively on only subjects that we know very well enough about. YES, she CAN very well practice nursing after her master's degree in nursing and she does not need again first degree in nursing or an RN degree to do so. What she needs is the NCLEX license which she is eligible to get after completing her master's degree in nursing.

For instance here, there are people with MBBS and MD degrees,but not licensed to practice medicine in the US. The degrees do not always quality you for clinical work.

You are changing the subject. This is not the conversation. If this were the conversation, then, even with an RN degree in Nigeria, she is not still eligible to practice nursing in the states. An RN degree is not enough to make you practice nursing, you need the NCLEX license. But a master's is enough to make you apply for the NCLEX license without an RN degree. See the first answer you gave the OP, you said, "No.You require a first degree for nursing practice.." This is wrong and misleading, because with a master's which the OP intends to get, you do not require a first degree for nursing practice.

d33types:
Of course you know I meant a first degree in nursing

Either a first degree or an RN qualification. Anything outside this is not true.

No, Sir. Please, let's give people the right information! And let's talk authoritatively only about the things we know. In the US, even without a first degree in nursing, she can go for a master's in nursing. Even if she has a first degree in Igbo, she can go for a master's in nursing. Just have a first degree in anything, and you can go for a master's in Nursing. If the first degree is in something completely non-science such as History or music, she can very well go for a master's in Nursing, but she would have to take a few prerequisite classes which are Microbiology, Nutrition, Statistics and A & P (roughly 17 to 21 credits). However, with a bachelor's in something like Pharmacology - the most dreaded class for nursing students - she has probably already taken all the needed prerequisite classes which gives her a huge upper hand. She can just go directly to a master's in nursing in the US.

d33types:
No. You require a first degree for nursing practice..

Why would you study pharmacology in the first place, when you know you'll not practice what you read?

B.sc Pharmacology is a first degree. The short answer is, yes she can.

yes.

TheCongo2:
This is a reasonable question. I don't see any undertone of racism in it.

Not saying there is. Just quoting the other guy on how the question about going to your home country is phrased here.

Ifesinachi22:
If it's in Europe, a white man may ask this. But in America, America doesn't belong to the whites. They are immigrants like everyone else. America belongs to the Red Indians.

No white man has a moral right to ask such a dumb question in a land that doesn't belong to him

They usually ask this way, "Do you plan to stay here or return to your country after you're done with your studies?"

PhillyA:
I remembered my first day in America, eight years ago, a girl walking in opposite direction on the sidewalk smiled at me. I was 100% certain she was flirting. Next day, two other random girls did this. At the end of my first month, scores of girls must smiled at me. Then it hits me that this is a norm here, I didn't just get the cultural reference at the beginning. This is true for midwest and southern states, but people in north-western and north-eastern states are the exact opposite: extremely unfriendly folks. Now, those folks smiling at you may never invite you to cookouts and their voting pattern suggests they don't want you around. Even some endearing words like "bless your heart" these southerners use may have some negative connotations, you have to have lived there a long time to get the cultural reference.

Some Christians may befriend you as a way of proselytizing, but don't get it twisted, you're just a project not a brother.

It could be lonely for the outgoing types, but for some of us, we enjoy our own company.

My first day in America, right at the airport in New York, there was this lady who just kept smiling at me. It was barely an hour since I arrived. I was too sure she knew me from somewhere, but I was wondering where that could be since I had just barely arrived. So, I kept staring at her and she kept smiling. The more I stared, the more she smiled. That night, I flew to Colorado where that scenario would recur multiple times. Initially, my impression was that people were extremely friendly here, since I had never been in a place where people would just smile at strangers after an eye-contact. Frown at them and they would still smile at you. I lived in the midwest, close to Canada, where the smiling habit is the norm. Drivers on the road who know you from nowhere will smile and wave at you. I never saw someone frown their face, ever! It took a while to get used to. These same people would go on to vote for Donald Trump, so I know they don't really like us or want us there - the smile is just their way of life. I've lived on the west coast and east coast since then, and I can tell a few changes. I'm traveling to the south for the first time by the end of this month, so I'm looking forward to what the experience over there would look like.

The Randy91 guy has deleted his account

People will just come online and be boasting and lying for no reason not knowing that this is a very small world and some ignorant people will believe them and be using that as an example. McSlize your role model has run away. Who will you look up to now?

He prolly got shocked that someone is able to figure out who he is on here. People think that online forums are entirely faceless where no one can trace them, so they tell all sorts of lies for validation, but immediately they see that their identity is about to get exposed, they get all fidgety and run away. He enjoyed his two minutes of fame.
