CareerRe: Nigerians And Their Graduate Mentality by otswag(m):
The point the op Is trying to make Is That graduates should try to think outside the box when It comes to earning a livelihood especially when white collar jobs are not forthcoming. Nobody expects You as a graduate to go and Start frying akara or cooking moimoi under a tree as many people are implying here but creativity and packaging Is the point. There Is nothing Bad in getting a relatively décent shed where people can sit to have a meal. Some people even visit companies who dont have cafeterias with proposals to supply the workers with a well packaged lunch and supply meals and pasteries during meetings and social events. The mind Is a very créative weapon if Ur willing and ready to use it
Car TalkRe: Have You Taught A Spouse To Drive? by otswag(m):
CityNG:
So I had a brainstorm today to save money, instead of paying the driving school to yeah the Wife to drive I would teach her myself.

15 minutes later we have both decided that it's probably better for our marriage to have a neutral party be the teacher grin

My life flashed before my eyes like 10 times.

So how did your Spouses learn how to drive?
mehn, i'd rather Pay for a driving school than teach her myself. I attempted to teach her once but nna mehn!, when one impatient man attempts to teach a stubborn drama queen, hmmm! Na world war 3 u wan start
HealthRe: JOHESU Issues Fifteen Days Ultimatum by otswag(m): 7:29am On Sep 30, 2014
Chinaimporter: [b]The solution to all this conflict is to sensitize nigerians to know the following
1) That nursing is a two year non degree program that contains just element of patient management and almost nothing at all on general studies or other facets of education that other nigerian graduates pass through during their education to gain a full and rounded education and be called university graduates so nursing is effectively a technical training program that evolved into a gorgon medusa in nigeria except for those with BN in nursing.so they are not excpected to act like educated people since most of them are not, hence their thuggish attitude in hospital

2) Pharmacists are a group of well educated people that are trained to work mostly in drug factories(80% work there in other countries) producing it for consumption of the populace with few working in hospital setting and not trying to exceed their limits but in nigeria,a pharmacist that did not see a patient or learn patient management in school want to now become a full fledge doctor and run hospitals.

3) Medical lab science was not even a degree course in this country before now but just a technical certficate gotten in one location in jos after two years of studies but now some are degree holders and now want to wear the same boot as doctors.

4) The pharmacist only job in the hospital is to dispense drugs which anybody even a boko haram member can do effectively with just 3 hours of training hence there unfounded need for undue recognition is even more alarming( ok una go school well well but nobody need una for hospital sorriooo.i de pity una shaaa)

5)That most people in this profession of pharmacy wanted to be doctors but after failing there jamb successively, the opted for pharmacy and developed undue inferiority complex that translated to hate for doctors that is playing out in our health sector

6)That every doctor knows how to do the jobs that this people does but just would not stoop so low as to do so since their have a massive physical and intellectual job they do all the time (it is like the house boy and the oga of the house, if the houseboy is not around,the oga will suffer to iron his cloths and wash his car himself so he will actually work harder but that doesn't make the houseboy the boss at all.

7)[size=18pt]Finally, do any nigerian want to handover their life or that of their children to a hospital being run by nurses or pharmacisthuhhuh?[/size] [/b]
inasmuch as I understand your grievances , I think we should all learn to make our points noted without belittling other professions. Nobody will take the points of anyone who does that seriously as it appears to be made out of anger not facts.Most of what you stated are not totally accurate. B.Sc nursing as a 4/5 year course is done in some Nigerian universities including UI.Theres a whole lot more to pharmacy than just drug dispensation whether u choose to admit it or not.

Christianity EtcRe: What Is Your Position On Letting Your Children Play With Children Of Atheists? by otswag(m): 8:06am On Sep 22, 2014
Preventing your children from associating with other children because of difference in religious beliefs will send a wrong message to them. U are indirectly teaching them to detest people just because they they think different even if they have other great attributes. This idea alone is the cause of the holocaust suffered by the Jews from the Nazi so its a very wrong thing to teach your child. If you teach your children the ways of the lord and it makes sense to them, u shouldn't be scared that your teaching will be corrupted by beliefs of atheists. Yes, they would have questions but if you believe strongly in ur religion, u should be able to provide them with sensible answers.
RomanceRe: My Wife Calls Her Ex Four To Five Times Dairly, Could She Be Cheating On Me? by otswag(m): 4:55pm On Sep 20, 2014
There's a simple solution to this issue. Get a chics number n start calling her frequently in ur wifes presence. If she asks who she is, tell her its a close friend u work with.Naturally, she go para n when she does, remind her that's how u feel when when she does the same with her ex. If she is a sensible woman and she really loves u, she will stop. If she doesn't, hmmm, oga ade, there is something deeper than just exchange of calls going on btw them.
Christianity EtcRe: Lagos Govt Moves Against T.B Joshua Over Building Collapse by otswag(m): 10:56am On Sep 20, 2014
I still wonder who really is to be held responsible for this unauthorized and unsafe construction work that eventually led to a mass casualty. Is it the preacher who didn't get the appropriate authorization to add more floors to the building, the construction company who probably didn't bother to confirm if the foundation and building as a whole would support additional floors or the Ministry of Physical Planning and Urban Development who most likely knew that there was an unauthorized construction work going on and chose to overlook it for some reasons best known to them. I just wonder.
HealthRe: Photos: Governor Fashola Hosts Some Ebola Survivors by otswag(m): 8:44am On Sep 19, 2014
semitunde: If you know what stigmatization of Ebola is causing presently, you'll appreciate the symbolic importance of fashola's gesture.

A woman called to a live phone-in program to complain that her child in nursery two had nose bleeding, probably after a fight with another child. Nobody was prepared to touch the bleeding child, including teachers.

The child was still not allowed back even after treatment and the parents showing test results that the child doesn't have Ebola.
exactly my point. This gesture will go a long way in curbing the fear of the public that they might still be infective and stopping the unfair treatment of the Ebola survivors.
HealthRe: Photos: Governor Fashola Hosts Some Ebola Survivors by otswag(m): 7:39am On Sep 19, 2014
God bless this man. He is a leader by example. At a time that stigmatization of these Ebola survivors by many who believe they might still be contagious, he invites them to his office and takes close contact photos to show the people they are not. Weldone gov BRF.

HealthRe: Health Min. Onyebuchi Chukwu Deserves Commendation For His Fight Against Ebola. by otswag(m): 5:18pm On Sep 13, 2014
uchedydy: In a country wia everytyn seems to be upside down, we need to celebrate those who have done well.

Health Minister, Onyebuchi Chukwu indeed deserves commendation. In the wake of Ebola from AMERICAN-liberian Patrick Sawyer, the Health Minister swung into action. Tho it was shaky af first due to the seeming unpreparedness of everybody. He fought Ebola to a standstill, convening meetings here and there, giving directives on things, working with the Lagos state government and other states and notably providing up to date information to give public insight and calm tension. As at today we have no case of Ebola in the country. Our hearts go out to those who lost loved ones, but it would have been more but for the hard work of the health minister and his team.

I am not a politician, but I think every good work deserves commendation.

Now to the man who fought hard to fight Ebola for his country, I say well done.

Again commendation shd go to all the doctors and medical practitioners in all areas of the field, and to all Nigerians who have been using hand sanitizers to ensure they protect themselves.

Well done!!!!!!!!!!
i believe we were just lucky that d circumstances surrounding the outbreack in nigeria acted in our favour. What we're doing to curtail the spread of ebola Is not so différent from what other countries are trying to do. Only That they are encountering more résistance from their people than the nigerians because of the very poor level of enlightenment and exposure of their people. Its difficult putting people on quarantine n surveillance because infected and exposed people run away from health officers who want to help.Also,in these other countries,Ebola broke out in very rural communities and many of the infected people were being administered herbal concortions while others who presented to their clinics were being treated for other Common fébrile illnesses so it had spread to an unprecedented level before their govt réaliséd what was going on. We are Lucky the outbreak happened in cities like lagos n ph who have enlightened people who do not resist médical help. If d outbreak happened in a village in naija, im sure we'd still be having a serious problem curtailing d spread now. However, we shld still give kudos to d govt for their swift impressive response but i think nigerians in general should be given d greater commendation for not resisting surveillance and quarantine. The people of nigeria helped curtail d spread.

HealthRe: Ebola Case Confirmed & Treated In Lagos by otswag(m): 9:08pm On Sep 08, 2014
Reference: Correct except for the blood loss with is a late term presentation and is a result of the destruction of the protein that makes blood to clot. At this stage it is most likely the kidneys, liver and spleen are irreversibly damaged. Survival at that point is next to zero. The body has practically no defences left.
abnormal bleeding can happen as early as 5-7 days after ist symptoms. Doesnt necessarily have to be a late complication. Infact almost every patient has some level of clotting abnormality however level varies with individuals and many go unnoticed. Sévère hemorrhage Is not so Common though however very likely would lead to multiple organ failure as u rightly mentioned
HealthRe: Ebola Case Confirmed & Treated In Lagos by otswag(m): 8:02pm On Sep 08, 2014
voltron: This is why I fear Nigerians greatly. There innate ability to hide the truth. UK France and US are open about the drugs they have and how they are made and the effects on their patients. But Nigerians. No they won't say a word. Tomorrow you will hear that 20 new cases have been confirmed and we would start asking questions. Thanks for asking this one now bro
see, the good thing about ebola Is That its a self limiting virus which simply means That it Will run its course and eventually die out on its own so if an infected individual Is managed well enough by giving medications and intravenous fluide to control the life threatening symptoms like recurrent diarrhoea and vomiting, high grade fever, hemorrhage and so on, there Is a very good chance of survival. The medications are Just to prolong the patients life long enough for the virus to die out on its own.

Different regimes since our independence with the background painting showing the state of the nation during these regimes.I love the way you depicted MKO Abiola, the shadowy figure with the June 12 tag meaning the head of state that never was. Brilliant work of art. However, in my opinion, i'd prefer an extension of the red background of the military regime to this our post military era with a progressive deepening of the redness over the years till now. That's a perfect picture of the state of the nation now
