frankben: I think the mother has questions to answer. You can't tell me the semeñ of the husband formed this (what do I call it?)...... This has got more to do with quest for a baby. She probably consulted a native doctor just to take in.It's not what you are thinking. This is called Anencephaly, a rare condition, which literarily means 'without a head'. Its occurrence cuts across the whole globe. It is incompactible with life outside the womb. The EXACT causes are unknown, but suspects include adverse effects of certain drugs and substances, genetic mutations and other environmental factors. Notably, deficiency of folic acid during pregnancy may result in this, hence the need for pregnant women to take their folic acid tablets seriously. Folic acid is most effective when supplementation is commenced very early in pregnany (as early as pregnancy is diagnosed), or if possible, even before one takes in (pre-conceptionally). NB: ONLY folic acid is known to be without adverse effects in pregnancy, hence no other drugs can you take during pregnancy unless as prescribed by a medical doctor. 17 Likes 1 Share |

I watched her news briefing too and I was disappointed. Coming from the spokesperson of SSS, that was unprofessional on multiple levels, to absolve someone accused of such acts, on air, without any iota of investigation irrespective of the person's status is tantamount to predudice and bias. The least would have been to say that investigations will be conducted. Why are we even like this? |

ebolablast: the woman who was in the same ward with the doctor died yesterday and the doctor's matrimonial wife followed up today.. grab now??The report didnt say she died. It only said she is being treated at an isolation ward in Lagos. |
| Health › Re: Dr Enemuo's wife have Died of ebola in lagos by omicron(m): 9:03pm On Sep 03, 2014 |
The report is somewhat ambiguous, but it is not the Dr's wife that has died; it is the woman who was on admission in the hospital the doctor died that died. The doctor's wife is still in isolation ward. |

We need a change of values as a people. It amazes how the youth have been brainwashed in Nigeria, to think that a particular party has the answer to our problems. I'm not saying we have to be apolitical, but we must demand what is our right from these so called leaders, irrespective of their parties. As long as the Nigerian factor remains, it will always gonna be the same. We need to constantly demand accountability and develelopment from every government, the same way we demand(ed) for the release of the Chibok girls. We must continue to raise the political consciousness of the populace(which is way better than what it used to be in 1999, hence the increased interest in politics) Education is the key. And most of Nigerians are not as educated as they should, and I do not refer those of us here on NL. 4 Likes |

Innovator90: You hit the nail on the head. I also observed the same in Imo and Abia, that's why projects are not uniform, are unattractive, in most cases abandoned or done below standard. Enugu seem to be using an excellent contractor...which explains the excellent quality and pace of Enugu projects. Gov. Akpabio success has to do with using Julius Berger and CCECC. I have nothing against local contractors, but they must perform on par with foreign contractors or we give to foreign. No time for child's play any more...SE needs to get going!Same with delta, or at least Asaba. Uduaghan using what looks like ordinary cement mixers to execute important roads, wih portions of the same road developing pot holes even before the entire road is completed. Smh for some governors sha  |

From the submissions of most people here, it appears that the perspective of most nigerians is: If you are not satisfied with your conditions of work, DO NOTHING, cos if you demand for better welfare from the government, WE will make sure that we bring you down. Nobody asks why your government cannot honour agreement it makes to its workers. Same thing happens all year round, just different unions affected.

Bioterrorism is a possibility. However, many Terrorists like boko haram don't operate like that. They usually have targets and they carry out their attacks themselves, not indirectly. Ebola is a real bio-weapon though and many powerful countries like US, France and Russia would have always had in their labs, in case... |

eaglechild: You are partly right but i think i understand his perspective.In terms of commerce and development, onitsha has always been the bigger horse. Commercially, is it true and right that onitsha has expanded to Asaba, but never in terms of geography (which was what Joe's assertion appeared to suggest). Before being the state capital, Asaba was a 'village town'. Its development infrastructurally as it is today is because of its status as state capital. Socially and commercially, its development is derived in part due to its proximity to onitsha. Although, there is still the argument that Onitsha is under-commercialising Asaba, but that is a different arguement all together. |

OdenigboAroli: Do that and they will say you hate Enugu people. The reason why Enugu Internally Generated Revenue hasn't seen any increase is because the governor has no vission. Chime is clueless,lets face it. Anybody can do what he is doing in Enugu. Whats there? Collect allocation,pay workers,use the rest to reconstruct and beautify Enugu city and maybe every now and then go to one village a build a single substandard road..lolIt is not as simplistic as you have made it seem. You should that know every City has its potentials and history. You cannot know Enugu so well and expect it to rival Anambra in terms of commerce and industry. Now, that is not to mean that some level of industrialisation is not to be expected or desired of the city. Indeed, Enugu is not completely unindustrialised. Personally my highest expection of Enugu in terms of economic vibrancy is to see a well developed and industrised agricultural sector, as well as the reactivation of the Coal industry I also do not agree with your dismisal of the works of Chime. What he accomplished is much more than what you have implied them to be. He has done his lot. The question is, what will the next governor do? So that by nxt July we can all be saying....''if what _____is trying to do succeeds''. What is Obiano trying to do? 5 Likes |

HappyJoe: I think it's more realistic to talk about Onitsha/Asaba - just like Ibafo & Lagos can be grouped together. Onitsha is expanding to Okpanam, Ibusa, Ogwashi-Ukwu & co.I thought you understood the correction Afam tried to give you. You cannot say Onitsha is expanding to Okpanam, Ibusa and co. It is wrong and somewhat arrogant to say that, with all due respect. None of Asaba or Ontisha is expanding to or being taken up by the other, in geographical sense. Each is a town on its own right with different history and potentials. Onitsha can not 'expand' westwards more than it has already done, and Asaba has 'expanded' eastwards as much as it is.... Asaba is the town expanding to Ibusa, Okpanam and co, not Onitsha! I know we all like to praise our towns and re-emphasise their potentials and glories, but we should also not appear to be over-doing it. 3 Likes |

What Do These Findings Mean? Although the sub-Saharan African IMGs in the 2011 AMA-PM only represent about 1% of all the physicians and less than 5% of the IMGs in the AMA-PM, these findings reveal a major loss of physicians from sub-Saharan Africa. They also suggest that emigration of physicians from sub-Saharan Africa is a growing problem and is likely to continue unless job satisfaction for physicians is improved in their country of origin. Moreover, because the AMA-PM only lists physicians who qualify for a US residency position, more physicians may have moved from sub-Saharan Africa to the US than reported here and may be working in other jobs incommensurate with their medical degrees (“brain waste”). The researchers suggest that physician emigration from sub-Saharan Africa to the US reflects the complexities in the labor markets for health care professionals in both Africa and the US and can be seen as low- and middle-income nations subsidizing the education of physicians in high-income countries. Policy proposals to address global inequities in physician distribution will therefore need both to encourage the recruitment, training, and retention of health care professionals in resource-limited countries and to persuade high-income countries to train more home-grown physicians to meet the needs of their own populations. |
