Something is definitely wrong with Wike. I hope he finds peace.
politics aside,

what is wrong with the fct minister encouraging organisations to pay tax?

Sorry about your experience.
Most surgeons are hot tempered with bad manners, they are usually toxic and treat patients like trash which is very wrong
Thank you
It pains me, till today
How someone spoke to me in that manner, and there was nothing I could do, or even say..
It pains

Sounds like a mentally ill doctor. And the matron did not think to report him. Astonishing incompetence.
Nooo
I think it's stress from the work
And as I earlier said pride!
Superiority complex
HealthRe: Share Your Experience With An Incompetent Doctor. by opicgif: 11:34am On Dec 10, 2023
I won't use the word incompetent

For some, inexperience
For some, stress of the work
For most, it's pride.

Mine is UPTH, 2016
A surgeon

He pronounced my name, and asked why I pronounced it another way
I told him, the way I pronounced it is the right way
Polite discussion, I was even smiling, thinking it's a normal human being I was talking to

He shouted that I'm not a serious human being, that I can't even pronounce my name
Told me I should leave his office

I was still smiling, I thought it was a joke,
Long story short, he chased me out of the office.
The matron outside signaled another woman to enter his office, elderly woman, probably 70's, the surgeon started shouting she's walking too slow, and it's like she's not serious.
Other patients were replying

"doctor take it easy na, don't you have a mother?, this is a government hospital na, take it easy doctor"

He started shouting to the matron to call another patient.

UPTH will humble you in this life. I kept wondering if I went ahead with the surgery there, the man can even slap me on the hospital bed.

N/B
This period was a very depressing period in my life. Low self esteem at its lowest ever. I couldn't even speak back. Zero confidence. No job. I regret leaving the hospital like a coward till today. Especially after the surgeon shouted at the elderly woman.

Rivers state government-owned universities (RSU & IAUOE) are no longer part of ASUU, therefore they no longer go on strike. You begin and finish your source of study as at when due. Also, you can be closer to your family in PHC.

When you get to class you might feel too old and your class Rep and other course mates might not be in agreement with you oftentimes. The much younger ones will like you tho.

Don't be angry and don't be shy

There's nothing wrong in going back to school at 40. Shaeed Osupa recently just graduated from the University of Ibadan, and he's way over 40.

However, I would recommend that you study it in a private university (that's if you have the funds for it) cos with the way most federal and state institutions are increasing their fees, it's very easy to predict an ASUU strike in the future.

And law is a 5 year course. Imagine adding one or two years extra to it because of strike, you'll be in your late 40s when you graduate.

Good luck.
yes thats my fear with public uni. the ASUU strike

Karlifate:
opicgif,

Here are some Private Universities you can study Law in Nigeria:

1. Afe Babalola University, Ado Ekiti - I've heard some good reports from acquaintances & third parties about their Law Degree.

2. Baze University, Abuja - Well, some report had it few days ago, that they run unapproved Law program.

3. American University of Nigeria, Yola, Adamawa State

4. Igbinedion University, Okada, Edo State

5. Benson Idahosa University, Benin, Edo State

6. Lead City University, Ibadan, Oyo State

7. Etc...



NOTE 1: There are many others. So, you can personal research on this to know which will suit you, putting the following into consideration:

— tuition fee;
— cost of living in the state and/or town;
— security;
— recognition of your prospective alma mater in the job market;
— how easy will it be to relocate from Rivers State to your preferred State/Town of study;
— etc...



NOTE 2: This is just my suggestion. You can consider other reasonable suggestions & draw up your conclusion.





Don't let anyone discourage you in your quest for more knowledge and in doing what you've always loved.



Good luck. wink
thank you very much for your detailed response

although i think Afe Babalola is already out of it. they trended last month when the VC asked students to kneel down for missing lectures.
i'm not sure of that kind of environment to study law

ill look into these schools and send mails today to know what the requirements will be (i already have a BEng
so i am wondering if i will have to write JAMB all over again)

thank you so much. God bless

Floky215:
Who was the president of Palestine...?

You just confusing Palestine under the British mandate and trying to twist it...

Ever before the roman emperor rename that place Palestine as a collective punishment for the jews after burning down Jerusalem and the temple and exiling the jews , what was the name of the place or land..?

Same template the fulanis are using kill off the locals and drive the rest out with violence and rename the place..go to southern Kaduna and other areas in the middlebelt states..its happening there...!!
Now we have shifted the goal post.

From "there has never been anything like a Palestine state"
so I showed that there was a Palestine state, with a functioning government, and a ministy of migration that issued permits to jews

We have now shifted to
who was the president of Palestine?


My brother I didn't post to argue o, I only wanted to correct an impression, or rather show that there's an alternative. As I said, Israel and Palestine issue, is bigger than Nigeria's problems.
Foreign AffairsRe: Battle Field Discussion (picture/video) Of African Military . by opicgif: 5:47pm On Nov 18, 2023
First and foremost,
What HAMAS did on October 7th, is a terrorist attack!

Now that that's out of the way
What Israel is doing in Gaza, is terrorism!

Israel has killed in less than a month, more children than Russia has killed since February 2022

Israel and Palestine issue is bigger than us in Nigeria. We have our own problems.

Support your Israel, or support your Palestine in Peace, and boldly

No need for propagating falsehoods.

For the South Easterners supporting Israel, please remember these times, when IPOB/UGM (or whoever you believe they are) kills soldiers, and then soldiers enter your villages, and kill babies, mothers and other innocent civilians in retaliation, in the guise of looking for IPOB

Because that's what Israel is doing right now.

PoliticsRe: Wike Chased Amaechi Out Of Pdp And Now APC by opicgif: 9:24am On Oct 27, 2023
I learnt this quite late in life

If you want to achieve something in a public office (politics, managerial level in corporate world, etc)

Network + ambition IS GREATER THAN smartness, ideas, principles,

In offices, we all know managers who know very little about the job, but they will be promoted, and chosen for opportunities over smart people, who
1) don't know how to joke with the boss
2) don't attend occasions that the boss hosts
3) visits the bosses office to gossip everyday
4) settle junior staffs financially, regularly

Amaechi is an idealist
Wike is a politician


The moment Amaechi had an issue with Patience Jonathan (a woman, a presidents wife) in her own village, that she had to seize the microphone from his hand, it should have been obvious that he doesn't know how to enter women

Amaechi as a minister, didn't build his network. He expected people to gravitate towards him

Wike built GDI, and owned all LG Chairmen
Wike built G5, and owned Governors. They were even sewing asoebi and meeting almost every week.
Wike donated to all PDP state's,

Wike will do anything to be your friend
In 2023, he even cooks for the Chief of Staff in his home kitchen!!!
Wike will go to market for Tinubu if he has to.

Life is not fair. Don't expect it to be.

Buhari won in 2015, because he had threatened violence (dogs and baboon) if he doesn't win. Jonathan got scared, and handed over.

Jonathan was an idealist. A "good man"
Good guys don't win!
RomanceRe: Is It Right To Gift A Married Man Perfume? by opicgif: 12:31pm On Oct 20, 2023
lol
my dear, you like the man
if you dont like the man
give him money
even people that are stealing money in their offices (not just business)
don't buy gifts for their co-thieves, they give them money!

your relationship with that man isn't normal
its either of 2 things
1) you have given him green light in the past (maybe because of your business). "some" women do this a lot. they flirt with you for favours and when you reciprocate, they act surprised
2) you like him, and want to buy him that perfume, you are just coming here for validation. so let me answer you IT IS WRONG

A man, will not ask you, and insist for a gift of perfume, if
1) he has not received green light or
2) this is sexual assault. if this is the case, tell him NO! and give him money instead
Foreign AffairsRe: Russia And Israel by opicgif(op): 9:11am On Oct 18, 2023
SoNature:
Hamas went too far. Every powerful country kept saying that Israel has a right to defend themselves. However, the US has tried to reduce the collateral damage by ensuring that Israel doesn't cut off water supply to Gaza.

I always liken what's happening to civilians in Gaza to what's happening in Nigéria's South East. The separatists get into a fight they cannot win by killing security operatives and the poorly trained security operatives take out their frustrations on innocent citizens.
True
Foreign AffairsRussia And Israel by opicgif(op): 7:19am On Oct 18, 2023
In the past 500+ days of the Russia Ukraine war, about 500+ children have been killed

International criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin

In about 1 week, more than 500 Palestinian children have been killed by Israel

Why has ICC not issued arrest warrants?

How come the world "stands by Israel"

Those children were not terrorists.

Yesterday, at least 500 have been killed in a hospital in Gaza. The Israeli Prime Minister, tweeted about killing "children of hate"
The prime ministers media aide tweeted about Israel Airforce bombing the hospital

Both of them have deleted their tweets.


LIFE IS NOT, AND WILL NEVER BE FAIR

In our places of work, in church, in every social setting, there'll always be a "we" Vs "them"

It's all a game. Last week the Israeli Prime Minister said "Muslims convinced Adolf Hitler to kill jews"

Who would believe that a jew can say this.
Kanye West was cancelled globally for saying less.

Don't hate the game. Play it.

Just thinking out loud.
