Integrity is been straightforward and having the courage of your convictions, doing what you believe is right and not fearing to speak out.

It is sad that Osinbajo has traded his integrity for loyalty to Buhari, not for Nigerians.

There are better people to vote for, than these lots.

Health / Re: Doctor Refused To Pay For My Husband's Physiotherapy Services, Fights Him. by othermen: 10:35pm On Feb 16, 2022
The doctor invited your husband to provide a service to a patient he has an obligation to.

The doctor probably wanted to be sure of your husband’s competence.

Your husband took offense and railed against the doctor, who invited him.

The doctor probably at this moment, wanted the agreement terminated.

So, your husband asked for his fee.

The doctor declined because of your husband earlier dismissive attitude. As the doctor felt it was your husband who erred the agreement. Yh, you are a professional, but he has a duty to his patients. If your husband did a bad job, the patient could sue the doctor who recommended your husband.

So your husband, already livid, insisted on getting paid. He came to the hospital with Uber. He can’t just walk away. So he began to raise his voice.

The doctor told him, he was being a nuisance to the facility.

Your husband became more angry.

The doctor told him, to step out of the facility or he will be forcefully removed.

Your husband was boiling. He was trying to get hold of an item he could have a lien on. And so somewhat, after been emotionally overwhelmed, your husband became physical in his quest to obtain his money.

The doctor wasn’t as physically strong as your husband who was willing to get into the doctor’s pocket forcefully. So after, your husband held the doctor’s head underneath his shoulders, the doctor bit your husband to free himself.

Your husband realized no doctor would refer or invite him anymore. As his reputation is now damaged due to his conduct.

Although the doctor didn’t bite your husband brain off, may be in earlier fight. Because if your husband is thinking right, should have shared the doctor’s name and picture, so that you can not only embarrass him but equally destroy his reputation.

Education / Re: ASUU To Go On One-month Warning Strike by othermen: 8:01am On Feb 14, 2022
ASUU knows that the federal university is probably the last hope of the common man; your education is actually subsidized!!

You see the amounts paid in private universities, that is the amount you will pay, if Federal school becomes self autonomous and then, federal government no longer has any responsibility as it relates to higher institutions.

Is it in lecturers interest, that federal government hands off? Yes, it is. That way, University lecturers salary will be sub-charged to students school fees, and school fees will simply just become affordable only for the rich. Only the rich will get an education.

That will be the fate of the common folks, the Parents and students struggling to even pay the little that is basically exam fee and registration fee.

You can check the agreement of ASUU with Federal government online if you are any diligent. ASUU’s primary want is that universities be funded, so that students can learn and be competent enough as their colleagues from private or foreign universities.

Lecturers welfare have actually never been on the forefront of the struggle and the truth is the average lecturer is been pushed to the wall, that they don't have a damn to give anymore about funding universities, they just want to be paid reasonable salary... But ASUU sees itself as the champion of common folks, and the common folks will stone and crucify ASUU in the end.

The issue is not that, ASUU makes new demands. The issue is the FG continues to renege on what they agreed to. So, they promise and they don't fulfil it.

It’s the school fees that our senator’s sons are paying abroad, that students will end up paying if they continue to be ignorant about ASUU’s struggle.

ASUU knows that the reason why some lecturers may resort to sorting and other malpractices is because their pay can’t even get them home, but yet members welfare is not foremost in ASUU’s demand.

You can check, a graduate assistant abroad is earning more than a professor in Nigeria. There is a continuous brain drain, our best minds are harvested by universities abroad. There is no motivation to have a career in teaching in Nigeria!!!

To access knowledge, you have to subscribe to journals, you have to do research, attend conferences… your most honest lecturers are poor folks, your honest professors can't do decent lives; to reach those stages of their career, they invested their paltry salaries in self development.

If you are a first class graduate in Engineering , that is why you would choose to work in a bank, than teach. Because your salary in a year as a lecturer, is the monthly salary of some bankers.

We attend congested classes, where you cannot really optimally learn, our laboratories are not equipped, our libraries are empty… we will never be equipped for the world, we will never pioneer any development, we will never be able to generate electricity by ourselves, or make toothpicks. Are we capable? Yes we are! Despite the situations of things, our lecturers are still coming up with patents and inventions that rust away in their dilapidated backyards, until they get it sold to China, who uses it to change the world, and become an economic and technology powerhouse.

Some of your lecturers don’t even want ASUU to make such demands in the interest of the people, because it’s in this decayed system, they have rooted themselves, but ASUU keeps on holding the line.

Ok. Shame on the state government for letting this denigrate in the manner. The National Mosque in Abuja operates on government money, is that a reason for me to go there without scarve or with rosary?

Rather, than teaching tolerance. The Baptist school have been tolerant enough to admit students without regards to faith. You should take a look at University of Ilorin, the Human Resources (staff and students) has a significantly high concentrate of Muslims, you may even be charged for blasphemy if you attempt a morning cry evangelism, or if as an atheist or whatever you are, you are not Modestly dressed to their suiting.

Traditional worshippers should be allowed to also attend schools in their religious fits. Again, shame on the state governments. Very soon, the next violent protest will be to call the school, ‘Baptist Ansarudeen High School’ -

Business / Re: Bank Official Asked Me To Pray Over Erroneous Transfer. by othermen: 9:45am On Feb 04, 2022
When a bank staff does an erroneous transfer, it’s often the case, that even such staff cannot do the reversal, such reversal is usually authorized by a superior.

So if I am a teller, and I posted the wrong amount to your account, I can’t just get an additional deposit slip and post the rest. There has to be a system reversal of the earlier posting.

One time, there was such error, this time, the amount posted was more than the amount deposited by the customer, on realizing the error, the teller quickly filled a withdrawal form to rectify the erroneous deposit. Eventually the staff was fired. The account was a savings account, and when the customer didn’t receive the expected benefit, she contacted her account office, who stated that she withdrew more than she needed to, in order to be a beneficiary of the interest payment, the customer objected to this, denied so , and made the account officer probe further. The account officer eventually saw the unauthorized withdrawal.

Even a staff cannot tamper with the customers instructions or account. The whole reversal has to be recorded in the Bank’s system.

Also, imagine, this customer who has a lien on his account, has a dependent involved in an accident, and needed to access the fund in his account to get medical help but couldn’t..,because of no fault of his, then the dependent died due to inaccessible fund, don’t you think he should sue the bank for murder? These are the types of cases that informs the banks disposition towards a customer’s fund or account. I am pretty sure, in placing such lien, the history of the recipient account was examined, and such informed their action.

I do understand why several people are castigating the employee. A professional advice would have been, to get a court order. But then, the employee should also be commended for giving a realistic advice, even the cost of obtaining such order may exceed the amount you want reversed. And so, the alternative, does require prayer. The bank cannot disclose the recipient contact information to you, that will be a breach of confidentiality. At the best, they will reach out on your behalf, but if the customer is dead or inaccessible, you ultimately will need a court order, and so, to not encumber the troubles in getting your issue solved, prayer has been advised. For a surgery, we pray, for an exam, we pray, for traveling, we pray, The blacks in America are praying, that their youths not end up like Floyd or get shot by a cop … so each nation, its issue…and it is so in many places across the world.

Education / Re: Insecurity: UI Students Write Makinde, Demand Improved Security For Students by othermen: 7:05am On Jan 15, 2022
I am so much glad at the courage (not exactly, selective) of the students union despite continuous assault on its mandate and burden. It would seem the authorities in charge just wants to breed complacent folks, but their is no greater threat to our society than the lack of courage in our intellectuals, in our youths.

I commend the union, the letter does not pander and it shouldn’t pander when their have been loss of lives or ability.

Sadly, the school authorities don’t care much, they wouldn’t even use their offices to employ the government to its primary responsibility. In their ordinary , they have expelled students activists asking questions.

I think the wording of the letter is great. It would have been greater, if the inclination of the school authority to cowardice and breeding cowardice is mentioned or the school's futile effort to reach the government to act …

Don't feel it should be more polite, think of the grievances and the loss of parents due to lack of action on the government part for years, despite beseeching or appealing, think of those students without a limb now. If we confront our representatives and governments with their responsibilities, perhaps they would act.

We shouldn't just pray for them, we should remind them, and also notify them that the consequences of their inaction or irresponsibilities is very handy and ready to be served.

Celebrities / Re: I Sacrificed My Sense For Love — BBNaija's Vee by othermen: 9:21am On Jan 10, 2022
Ah, well you do need to sacrifice your senses because of friendship or love. The frontal cortex as it relates to the beloved is on suspension when in love. We slacken our judgment or suspend our judgments standards, says neuroscience.

So love takes from us, our shield; we become vulnerable and perhaps our happiness becomes contingent on another, but what love gives us is even greater. we may find in it, our own revelation or a reason to continue, and through the vulnerability, the light may get in, to us.

But in the end, it is a bargain that requires our full senses.

Education / Re: Anabelle Oromoni, Sylvester's Sister Reacts To Autopsy Results by othermen: 8:28am On Jan 09, 2022
Scientific results can be very prone to manipulation, not only because they require human interpretations, but even more so, because they are based on it.

There are certain procedures and results that are not so much prone, where such inclination is addressed by existing standards, validity and reliability.

But it is not an evidence of naivety if you think that interpretations of such can be very skewed towards the intended purpose of the examiner or the researcher.

It is so as to reduce such skewed interpretations, that seven pathologists with perhaps different or two interests had to probe into his body.

Again, most scientific procedures defers to authority. The ones that didn't, are the remarkable findings, that goes through rigorous and frustrating peer reviews that may sometimes demand decades or 'half of' to become established by the scientific community.

The scientific community has their norms, values and even a collective conscience, that sometimes a deviant finds that the structures can overwhelm if you attempt to dissuade it or persuade its established findings.

Imagine for the purpose of relation or appreciation: that our leading scientists and even the greatest scientists of different ages have built their findings on a certain proposition or assumption, which an emerging scientist have now found as flawed, because of the threat such finding may have to their reputations and life-time work, there might be some hesitancy to the truth; some rigour that will or may truly overwhelm the emerging scientist to lose bearing may even be orchestrated.

Although I have used the word orchestrated, such orchestration that overwhelms, may not be the intent or may be the intent of the agitated.

The medical field have an interest in being perceived as dependable and well-grounded. Cases of false diagnosis, clinical errors, medical negligences are not so much in the interest and so not so much investigated, unless by a resourceful relative or friend to the dead or misdiagnosed... because the effect of such false diagnosis may in addition to death of the victim, lead to withdrawal of such health-care provider license and to the perception of the discipline...so there are often little questions allowed to be asked.

In tertiary hospitals even foremost in the country, you can make a call through to anyone who has lost someone there, they probably weren't even met with sympathy in the relation of their loss, the fellow may not even see anyone to interrogate, and though a report is issued, the reports are so worded that reading it in your state of internal disarray, gives little meaning to settling such disarray. If it gives meaning, it would be to the extent of their callous dismissal, which is intently defensive and strikingly intended to absorb from any suggestion of culpability. And so, many have died, who shouldn't have, but we may not know.

The system however, is not built and made in such a way, that we can probe adequately to understand not just how this is so but if this is so, but it is an hypothesis you can test. In probing, it is the same medical field that is accused that we defer to and the medical field aside its interest in being perceived as dependable and well-grounded, is also skewed by interpretations in relating its suggestion as to the causes of its finding.

Imagine for purpose of relation or appreciation: that I have worked with KPMM for a better part of my life, but my work has affected my health, in such that, my fixation on the computer screen and the lighting of my work station, have now damaged my eyesight.

''My doctor said this may be so. I relate to KPMM my condition and beseech its assistance in redeeming my eyesight which was damaged in its service. KPMM responds and knows such assistance would only lead to endless law suits by its former employees who may cite whatever current health predicament they have as a failure of KPMM to provide a safe work environment.

Aware of such tendency to weaponisation, KPMM does not decline my solicitation for help right away, they invite me to meet with their own doctors for an examination or confirmation. Their doctors, who are much more renowned than mine in the field then establish that my eye condition or predicament cannot be linked to KPMM, that although it is as a result of exposure to light or non exposure to adequate lightning, but the light from my computer screen in KPMM is standard and adequate and not hazardous to the eyes. Their examination report is worded with the support of KPMM lawyers.

Now, it is the aspiration of any doctor to work with the KPMM medical consultants and he defers to them in the end. The consultants are the foremost in the country, they have among their directors, the leading professors in optometry and ophthalmology. No bank will give a loan that would help afford a medical report, so superior. The government hospitals do not even have the facilities for such examination. ''

Such relation above is the reality of many and may be the reality of Oromoni, science would not come to their aid unless afforded. Financial resources would; such financial resource has perhaps aided the college, but if the family spend more, the result can also be skewed to their intent.

It all underscores the necessity of financial resource to medical justice.
