Correct!

My laptop is hp 250 G4 Notebook Laptop 15.6 intel Pentium and i want to upgrade it to 8gb. What is the specific ram i should buy

You need to take it to a technician to check it for you.

Most likely you'd be getting a DDR3 for the RAM type.

P.S: The RAM size that you'd be getting depends on the current size of the present RAM module and the number of slots available for ram installatiion. Check this out yourself or ask someone to help you.

You ignore a few basic facts, namely
(i) that it is a basic aspect of a soldier's trade to risk death as well as to be ready to kill,
(ii) that even with soldiers, it would be utterly irresponsible to send them into battle without the right tools for them to secure victory,
(iii) that it can take 10-15 years to train a single doctor to a level where they can be of net benefit to society, while ordinary infantrymen can be replaced with 6-12 months basic training.

Whether or not you feel any compassion for the doctors you're demanding should put themselves at needless risk, the fact is that Nigeria already faces a severe shortage of them, with only 2 doctors per thousand citizens. The very last thing even the most selfish person should want is that this already very small pool of highly-skilled people should be decimated for the sake of making entitled laymen feel good about themselves.


You clearly don't understand the simple logic I laid out. If something is true in either of the only two possible scenarios, then it is unconditionally true, and how you feel about the work ethic or attitude of doctors should not matter. There is simply no situation in which you have any justification for making threats to doctors or committing violence against them because you feel your child isn't being treated like the prince or princess you believe it to be. Either wait your turn as requested and then follow the advice they give you, or take your child somewhere else for treatment, instead of acting like a brute and attempting to terrorize others into submission: doing so is a brazen act of criminality, and isn't likely to get you better treatment anyway.

The focus here is the statement of Dr/Prof Tunde Salako. NOT people bullying doctors and nurses and forcing them to submission.

I don't agree to bullying and achieving submission by brute force irrespective of the circumstance or the profession in question.

Whether I hate or love doctors does not change a statement from right to wrong. Dr. Salako has made a statement. The validity of this statement or the invalidity of same isn't dependent on personal feelings towards doctors and nurses.

With previous points of mine, I hope you sit back and take a look at them once more then you'd realise my point.

I. There is sense in Dr. Salako's statement

II. If equiped with the right medical infrastructures, we shouldn't be talking about doctors and nurses endangering their lives becuase they are doing their duty.

III.Patients of medical cases unrelated to CoVid-19 shouldn't be told to get a test result of the virus before they are attended to.

Yes, you're right I don't understand your logic because they are no logic by every reasoning standard. No offense sir

It's obvious, you don't read my comments. I'm restating this as stated in my previous comment.

No one is forcing anyone to do anything. Nobody wants the doctor to endanger their lives. All we are saying is that those people deserving medical examination unrelated to Covid 19 should be helped to get it and not be told to get a COVID 19 test. In my opinion, i believ that this was the Prof's stance when he made that statement.

omohayek:
No, you're being obtuse. The point I've been making, and to which you've offered no counter-argument whatsoever, is a simple one: whether or not you trust a doctor is irrelevant, as in both the competent and incompetent cases, your best bet is to go along with what they tell you to do, i.e. go get a COVID-19 test.

Tell me your point that I have not countered.
And that's exactly what the Prof has advised against. Like you said, be it competent or incompetent you'd have to do as you've been told. It is simply unprofessional for doctors to leave thier patients unexamined until a Covid 19 test result is provided.

Do you no how many avoidable death that will occur if every doctor is waiting for covid test result even for cases as simple as the ones i cited?

Those that are willing to get tested have been sharing their biitter eperience about the stress they were subjected to, how much more someone with urgent medical need.

Well, you may be right for thinking the man is wrong anyways.

omohayek:
But why would you even want to be treated by someone who is lazy or negligent? Why trust your life to someone whose laziness or negligence may lead to their missing a vital symptom or prescribing a drug dosage that may kill you? This is what I don't get about all of you who think you have a right to force people you don't trust or respect to treat you.

I think you're deviating from the subject of discussion. If you've properly read my prev comment, you would see that no one is forcing anyone to do anything. Plus, respecting people doesn't mean they will treat you well. Besides, you're forgetting that in terms of emergency, many people seek help from a particular hospital because it is the closest and not because they've had a first hand experience with the hospital. This answers your question of why I would want to be attended to by incompetent nurses or doctors. The point is that one would have to get to the hospital before figuring out the nature of service and quality of workers there.

omohayek:
I would think that would be obvious in this example: only an incompetent doctor would hear from his or her receptionist that a prospect patient fell down and is now bleeding from the nose, and then jump to the conclusion that the patient most likely has COVID-19. Or would you call it a sign of competence for a GP to see someone bloody passengers from a car accident and immediately suspect them of Ebola? You can't say that you think a doctor lacks common sense while maintaining that the same doctor should treat you anyway.

In any case, the bottom line is this: if a doctor refers a patient for a COVID-19 test instead of carrying out a personal examination, then either the doctor knows what he or she is doing (even if that isn't obvious to the layman), or the doctor is incompetent and not worth receiving treatment from to begin with. In either scenario, the outcome remains the right one, and there is no justification whatsoever for insisting doctors endanger themselves, their co-workers, their other patents and their own families, simply to carry out risky personal examinations they are unable to justify. Any doctor worth seeing has already sworn the Hippocratic oath and shouldn't need lecturing from ignorant busybodies like this Tunde Salako.

No sir, he isn't some ignorant busybodies. He has made a reasonable statement just that many people have either failed to get his point or are delibrately criticizing him for their hyprocritic love for doctors.

Everyone understands that doctors and nurses are like soldiers. They deserve to be loved and respected. Yes, and no one is saying medical practisioners should risk or endanger their lives. However, there are risks associated with jobs in general. Given the right equipments, we shouldn't even be talking about doctors and nurses endangering themselves. A soldier's life is in danger during war. Aren't they humans too and why aren't we telling them to flee? It is their work and duty to do their jobs.

Some will argue that 'no body wan die' because the doctors are ill-equiped. What then happens to those people that are similar to the scenario painted earlier?

You just said that one shouldn't be going to an incompetent doctor who can not distinguish between an accident and Covid-19. Still, the question is: How do you know that the hospital you've approached for medical help has incompetent doctors and that the doctors there are indeed incompetent?

The bitter truth is that even cases that are obviously not Coro-inclined are lazily/fearfully treated as Covid 19 by some medics.

funmisticqueen2:
That will not be in the best interest of your child oga. Especially in times like this. I know what I'm saying

Actually, he has problems with negligent medics and I believe everyone has too. I love and respect passionate and diligent doctors and nurses but not the lazy negligent ones. Those ones can frustrate one's life ehn... Their pride is second to none and zero manner of talking.

I bet you've never experienced something similar to what risenphoenix has said and I pray you don't.

omohayek:
If you don't trust a doctor to be competent enough to distinguish the symptoms of an accident from those of COVID-19, why do you then insist that the self-same unqualified doctor treat the patient? Wouldn't it actually be better for the patient not to be treated by such a person?

How would you know the doctor that would be attending to the patient is unqualified or incompetent at first?

TheGenius001:
Alright. Thank you so very much

You're welcome

RisenPhoenix:
NCDC says I should get examination from a hospital, hospitals say I should first get a negative test from the NCDC. Be playing us like table tennis. I don't pray for illness, but when an original werey like me enters a hospital with one of his sick kids, I dare you to send them up and down. You will know that angry dads have close to 100% mortality rates and can kill faster than coronavirus.

Laughter wan kill me with this one o. ... angry dads have close to 100% mortality rate . I can relate. Having seen where a passionate father got provoked in a hospital, one wouldn't doubt this

danowena:
See this man that called himself a professor speaking like a layman. So doctors should examine patients critically before refering them for malaria tests as well? Professor, just incase you have forgotten, the tests are meant to either confirm or negate suspicion of an ailmemt. It is a vital part of the diagnosis process.
Despite the number of negative results in the US and Uk (as examples) did you hear them advise doctors to stop referring people for tests? I am glad you mentioned that some were postive. What if the doctors of those positive ones allowed them to roam about? Professor, take your time o o. This is not the time to say rubbish if you have nothing tangible to say. Don't risk the lives of people because you want media attention.
Your statement is grossly stupid and very irresponsible.

No offence intended! I believe the declaration/statement is clear enough. In case it wasn't, consider a situation where someone who has severe difficulty in breathing and very weak probably due to an accident or termly illness and was rushed in to a nearby hospital for urgent healthcare. Would you as a doctor refuse treatment until you see a covid-19 test result? This is exactly what some unqualified doctors are doing this time.

A man bangs his head accidentally when he slipped off a wet floor and suffered severe headache and nose bleed. He was rushed to an hospital and the doctor was waiting for Covid-19 test result. How interesting!

Please I need urgent help. My laptop is an Asus brand.... Recently it starts to disable wireless service when in used or not used... And most times I have to shut it down like 7 times before the wireless option will be back on and it disconnt again after about 2 mins of connection to the internet. Please how can I for) fix it. I think the wireless driver is outdated or faulty. Someone please help. Or his there any external device I can buy that will that can serve as wireless adapter. Thanks

The problem is most likely your wireless driver. You can get DRP or driverscape (not sure about this spelling) to update the driver. You can google the programs.

There are wireless usb dongles (wifi receivers). They work like those bluetooth dongles. You can check online or Computer stores after lock down please

I removed the battery and inserted the charger like you said. The screen appears white and I can only see just the icon at the base of the screen appear blurry.but the other sides of the screen is showing almost nothing.

Sir, you need to replace your LCD (screen). Thank me later . Forget about 'nothing happened before you left it for the night'. The problem is with the LCD.

P.S: Some old AMD fitted motherboards are known to have this problem too as they age. However, you MUST consider your LCD first.

Good morning

Please I just turned on my system and I could see absolutely nothing in my monitor except for some icons which appears very very dim and almost dark. It shows horizontal and vertical lines and also dark.

I don't know what happened to it cos I used it last night and it was fine. pls what could be wrong with my system

It's very difficult to nail what's wrong by merely reading this but I'd suggest you try these given your certainty that same laptop has not dropped/fallen from a height or a heavy weight suspended on it during the night.

Force shutdown with the power button, remove battery (if removable) and let it rest for few hours (say 3hrs). Insert charger without the battery and try powering it on again.

You should take it to a technician for check on LCD backlight issues.

Hi i have this ASUS sonicMaster laptop whenever i connect my vm and kali linux on is stops working fast . please what can i do?

Do you mean that your laptop start lagging/slowing down when you run Kali Linux on VM?

HDD is still available...

Elxandre:
How can I get it in ib?

Chai! I was at Ibadan until about two weeks ago.

What's your proposition?

Only tecno is still available

Xxpress:
5k for the tecno. If u agree, we can meet today for the transaction

Apologies for the late response.

Nah! 5k does not do justice to the worth of the phone. I sold the itel even at 5.5k which is a phone that's not even 4G enabled.

Pay 7k and it's yours.

Thanks for checking

Good morning

I apologise for the late response.

You shouldn't have told someone who was trying to help you that he/she isn't serious.

After the Stay-Home season, you should visit a competent engineer to have the LCD (screen) checked. That manifestation is very less likely to be MB issue. If you're a DIY type of guy, you should open the PC, and check the flex that goes from the screen to MB. Unplug it,do same for the wireless cables, unscrew the lcd and check the back of the isolated LCD. There should be a point where the flex mentioned earlier enters the screen. Remove gently and wipe the port thoroughly with Alcohol or Methyl. Sp. Check online for guides on how to put apart your model. If after this, it still doesn't work, then you'd need the help of a technician who will try another screen in it to see if it would be the same. My best bet is the Lcd (screen).

WARNING/DISCLAIMER: Do not try any of what's mentioned in this quote if you do not know what you're doing or have no experience in disassembling a laptop. I'm not responsible for any negative outcome of this quote. You and you only are responsible for your actions.

I hope you're able to get it fixed...

davido was with this man recently n now he is positive honestly all dis drama is making me believe something fishy is happening chioma had d virus but d baby she is breast feeding is negative guys go watch the movie 2012 dis might jus b a ground plot cos almost all our governors are coming out positve well its official now that chloroquin treats covid19,but my question is how can anti malaria drugs be treating a virus and as for that bill gate that man no go die better death go and read about his implant as vaccine against dis virus guys d world might not return as we use to know it dis might jus b d end d bible keep talking abt brace up

You have raised a very interesting angle concerning how well placed and recognised persons are ending up positive. This might just be a conspiracy theory but it isn't baseless.

P.S: Nobody should come and leacture me on how highly contagious it is because that still does not counter this supposed conspiracy theory.

Somebody is hungry, you want him to think straight? Even Jesus Christ fed over 5,000 people with loaves of bread and fish before He started feeding them with spiritual food (words of God)
Don't you think He knows what He's doing?

That's it o. The best we can do now is pray that we survive this trying times and recover our strength as a nation. Being opmistic or positive doesn't mean being ignorant of reality and a bit of that reality is what the OP has painted. It takes the help of God to sustain us all.

Imperare:
Keep your negative opinions to yourself.

I see;
Nigerians developing their skills,
Learning new skills
Time to think/meditate about ones life: see your failures and be a better version of yourself.
More time for yourself and your maker.
A break from the activities of life.
Time to strengthen your religious belief / faith.

Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one

I'd really love to share this thought /opinion if only this would hold realistically.

All these you've mentioned are products of a TRANSFORMED MINDSET. Yet, a TRANSFORMED MINDSET isn't acheivable when the stomach is empty and the effort for survival is hopeless atleast to lots of Nigerians who depend on the street to survive.
