Jarus:
Average of between 30-35% turnout everywhere.

Let's now wait and see how two regions will come and claim 70% turnout

sirRiddy:
You can get some in CMS, Tinubu precisely. I got my barron and kaplan there. You might need to order for the ets books, not sure if you can get it At CMS but you can try. Manhattan is pricey because it is one of the best GRE prep resources.

sirRiddy:
The six online based tests by manhattan. It is believed to be the best besides the powerprep.
The manhattan 8 are a set of strategy guides that comprehensively cover the GRE curriculum. There are 8 of them.

IyawoToBe: lol. Yeah. Thanks

uchetobi: Domestic flights won't give you two bag allowance. Except you plan to shop in newyork, you will most likely pay for excess baggage. So don't forget to find the cost of that and work it in to the total cost

nefertitiram: Ahhhh, nobody beats an alaroro like me.

I'd rather fly to New York (max. 214k) then take a domestic flight (US airways, american airlines, Jet Blue, return to el paso is 66k and to phoenix is 55k , I just checked on www.dohop.com).

If you have not booked your tickets yet, consider flying to Atlanta or NY then buy a domestic ticket at the airport. and save some cash!

Compare ticket prices on online agent platforms (not the airlines directly) then get the domestic ticket price on www.dohop.com, thank me later.

naijababe: Howdy roomies, how y'all doing? Saw all your shout-out and mentions but was not in the right frame of mind. I am finally feeling up to posting. Lost my mum exactly a week today, had no idea I could ever feel anything that painful, 5hit hurts like hell but I'm finally coming to terms it.

Nigeria Ambassador to Liberia, Chigozie Obi-Nnadozie and 58 others have contact with, Patrick Sawyer, the victim of Ebola Virus Disease, EVD, who died in Lagos last Thursday, says the Lagos State Government.
At a news conference on Monday 27 July at the Lagos State Government Secretariat in Alausa, Lagos, Southwest Nigeria, Lagos Commissioner for Health, Dr. Jide Idris disclosed that 59 people had contact with the late Sawyer, which include the Nigerian Ambassador to Laberia.
“So far, a total of 59 contacts have been registered consisting 44 hospital contacts (38 healthcare workers and six laboratory staff) and 15 Airport contacts, comprising 3 ECOWAS staff-driver, Liaison, and Protocol officer, Nigerian Ambassador to Monrovia, two nursing staff and five Airport passenger handlers.
“As of the time of this report, 20 contacts had been physically screened of which 50% are type 1 contact and 50% had had type 2 contact. Airline manifest has not been provided by the airline at the time of this report and therefore the precise number of passenger contacts is yet to be ascertained, especially as two flights were involved (Monrovia-Lome and Lome-Lagos),” he disclosed.
On case management, infection prevention and control, Idris said an isolation ward had been designated by the Lagos State Ministry of Health at the Infectious Disease Hospital, Yaba for case management, adding that the designation of three other health facilities was underway.
“A total of 100 Personal Protective Equipment, PPE, were procured by the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, NCDC and the Federal Ministry of Health, FMOH have been distributed to the private hospital and the State Ministry of Health. WHO also donated 250 PPEs to the NCDC/FMOH.
“Adhering strictly to WHO guidelines, the body of the deceased patient was decontaminated using 10% sodium hypochlorite and cremated, with the permission of the government of Liberia. A cremation urn has been prepared for dispatch to the family. The vehicle that conveyed the remains was also fully decontaminated,” he stated.
According to Idris, government could categorically state that as of today only one case of imported Ebola and one death had been recorded in Lagos, saying that no Nigerian had been infected, but that all contacts were being actively followed.
“We call on all Nigerians to be calm and not panic and do hereby assure them that both the State and Federal Governments are up in arms to ensure that the virus did not escape and that no Nigeria is infected with this virus,” he assured.
He said preliminary laboratory investigation conducted by the NCDC AI virology laboratory of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital and the World-Bank Funded African Centre of Excellence for Genomics of Infectious Diseases (ACEGID) Redeemers’ University, detected viral DNA and that in both blood and urine samples obtained from the patient were positive for the Pan Filo virus analysis and Ebola Zaire MGB virus strain- specific analysis, adding that samples were also collected for further confirmation at the WHO Collaborating laboratory for Ebola in Dakar.
On the 40-year old Liberian vidtim, Idris said he arrived at the Murtala Muhammed International Airport, Lagos from Monrovia via Lome on Asky Airline Flight No KP50, on his way to Calabar for the 8th ECOWAS Retreat of Heads of Offices meeting, as a senior ECOWAS official in Liberia.
He stated that his plane was reported to have had a brief stop in Accra and Lome, and the aircraft was changed at Lome, explaining that he was also reported to have fallen ill while on board and remained very ill on arrival at the airport in Lagos as he was then assisted by various airport and ECOWAS protocol staff to a private hospital named First Consultant Medical Centre, Obalende, in Lagos.
“An initial diagnosis of suspected Viral Haemorrhagic fever was made. He was admitted and investigations were carried and supportive treatment was commenced. The private hospital immediately notified the State Ministry of Health who also notified the Federal Ministry of Health. The patient however died at about 6.50am on the 25th July 2014,” he explained.
Idris disclosed that the Joint Federal and State Team on the basis of all experiences gathered from the response to this outbreak recommended to mobilize funding for response activities, logistics and supplies; train and orientate health staff on the Ebola outbreak response Standards Operating Procedures and supply laboratory diagnostic supplies or activate the mobile VHF laboratory.
Other recommendations, he said, were to provide adequate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), organize psychosocial support and provide incentives to health personnel involved in Ebola outbreak response, design key messages in the local language and intensify public enlightenment in the local languages and involve the community in response activities.

TK2014: @Jyde2014 please I have not received any response from you based on the question asked above.

kpofkpof: Thank you Dear. The reason why i want to do the surgery abroad is beacuse of the technology they use. This robotics thing that reducing adhesion. Because accorrding to my Gynaecologist here in Lagos, he said the position of the largest fibroid is bad, it is sitting on the tubes and kind of blocking it and if they touch it, it will lead to scar tissues which will cause more problems.

Please can you ask your friend where the surgery was done and how much was involved.

Im currently discussing with St John's Health Centre and their bill is on the high side because i dont have insurance.

please help me find out.

Thank you

kpofkpof: I havent tried it. Because of the severity of this case, i have decided to get it all out and quickly conceive by God's Grace. Age is not on my side and that of my husband.

Most people say this herbs dont work and even if they do, they may take a longer time.

However, i will look up Kedi prducts on the net.

Thank you.

uchetobi: It excludes hospital which is about $2,500 for whmc.

Dr la is the most expensive dr in whmc. Go to their website and contact other doctors with admission privileges at the hospital. The others average $2,000 to $2,500 for what dr la charges $4,000

There are other hospitals/ drs in Houston you can also consider like oakbend, Methodist, etc

favored gal: Aw...this your plight tugged at my heart.
Pls dont ask your husband to quit his job, the reality of the matter is that an unemployed / stay at home husband will cause more complications for you as it. That is the honest truth!
Secondly, if you find a creche near your office that you can afford will they let you take your baby on the staff bus? If you leave home at 4:30 what time do you now wake up, isnt that too early for the baby? You can consider bathing him at night though, so you can just change him in the morning and be on your way
Thirdly, your accomodation situation with a room and palor is already sorta cramped for you and your husband and a baby so getting a live in maid may not be too easy!
[b]Can your work hours be flexible (resume later) for the main time, till you get this sorted? Be bold enough to ask your bosses, you never can tell, they might just be sympathetic
Try and explore all options of creche around you, i know lekki isnt cheap but leave all the popular ones and check for the coded ones, you can ask your coworkers for tips , also try the elegunshi one someone suggested
[/b]What of your mum's sisters or your MIL sisters, ask around for relatives who may be in the villa, some waiting for addmission, waiting idly to marry, wanting to learn work, etc. Again you never can tell
If all options has been exhausted without success you may need to quit your job and face a usiness or find something closer to the house.
I hope help comes for you soonest! Hugs*

debola23: Hallos good people,
Finally I get to the end of this thread. Been reading from page 1 and honestly I have gained so much Info regarding where to give birth and now I am torn between MIHS, WHMC and ofcourse the highly spoken about Doctores Para Ti.
I had my first baby in DCMH, Delaware County Memorial Hospital Delaware which is a hospital somewhere in philadelphia. The DCMH is just an imitation of the state and not the state so don't be confused. It was 3500 for both doctors and Hopsital fees, although ultrasound, pediatrician and blood work bills came seperately, there were all discounted (can't remember the percentage now) but I didnt pay up to 5000 for the whole process.

There is another hospital called Lankenau Medical Centre also in philly area. i know the hospital fees for uncomplicated womanly delivery is 1000$ and CS is 1300$. I am yet to contact a doctor to see what the doctors fees will be like but will do so once I get into the states.
Just thought I should share since I didn't see any info on people going to give birth around that area Philadelphia, PA. I wouldnt want to go back there because the relatives i have there are not so nice and I wouldnt like to go thru the same treatment especially now that I have a daughter who is very active. I preffer to stay on my own therefore I am looking for other options just have not made up my mind yet on which.

Now my question is, when I was going to have my first child, at the POE in Atlanta, Even though i was quite heavy, I told the CBP i was coming for shopping and she granted me six months no question. From the many refusals I have read on this forum, I am scared on what I would meet at the POE this time incase they ask me why I didnt say if i was going to have a baby the last time I came in. Truly I did a lot of shopping , even bought an SUV from there and a lot of baby items that i shipped in with the car. I have some receipts and pictures to show for that. Can you guys suggest to me how best to answer this question?

Already bought a ticket for Jan 18 and going with husband and daughter. Pls your suggestions will be much appreciated.
Thanks

mogbomoya: Hello All,

Abeg, lets not derail the tread with argument.

If you live in cold regions, then you will understand why pple bath themselves once a day or even once in two days.

I scrub my son in the evening while hubby just uses liquid wash in the morning just to freshen him up.

uchetobi: my sister inlaw has found a cheaper option closer to her house for me @ Christus St Catherine Katy Hospital


Doctor's Cost - $2000 for Vaginal delivery (includes all visits, delivery, one office based Ultra sound, and blood work).
C-Section - Additonal $500

Hospital Cost - $2600 for vaginal delivery (includes mum, and well baby for up to 48 hrs after delivery). Additional days will be charged at $1500 per day.
C-Section - $4150 (includes mum, and well baby for up to 72 hrs after delivery). Additional days will be charged at $1500 per day.

Epidural (optional ) - $1500

So total is $4,600 without epidural and $6,100 with epidural.

uchetobi: Nikky, I have emailed the dr. below is his pricing:


Our fee is $2500 for a vaginal delivery, $3000 for a C Section. There is an additional $500 fee for those with high risk pregnancies.

The hospital fee is $3500 - $5000 depending on what you required and how early you register.

The anesthesia fee if needed is about $1500.

in comparism with dr la/ WHMC

Physician cost is cheaper @WHMC as it is $2,500 constant, regardless of cs or high risk
WHMC is cheaper as hospital is $2,500 - $4,000 for vag or cs
Anesthesia @WHMC is cheaper at $1,200 too

WHMC is winning for me jare
