Sincere9gerian: Well, that is your opinion but I dont believe we all should freeze because of ebola. Ebola is not the worst problem in world even at this moment. Road traffic accident has killed and maimed more people in Nigeria today than ebola would do in one week or more.

The challenge of ebola can be surmounted by increased public awareness and improved personal hygiene, pending when vaccine or anti-ebola drug becomes available. It is as simple as that. And as far as I know, massive public awareness campaign is ongoing.

Panic, 7 days or more of national mourning, fear, cessation of all human activities, etc are either unhelpful or will worsen the situation.

To think that you, given your profession, should be the one advising against unnecessary gathering would instead choose to sacrifice public health for political expediency is indescribably pathetic. smh

President Goodluck Jonathan has announced greater funding to stop the spread such as setting up additional isolation centres, border screenings and contact tracing.

People in Africa’s most populous nation and leading economy have been told to avoid large gatherings.

"Conversely, the European Central Bank has successfully managed the challenge of excess liquidity by directing that European banks would henceforth pay the ECB a token interest rate of 0.1 percent on their surplus cash balances. Instructively, if CBN adopts such a strategy the days of easy profits for banks, would be over and banks would be forced to look to providing the real sector with ready access to cheap funds which will stimulate economic growth" - See more at: http://www.vanguardngr.com/2014/08/treasury-bill-scam-continues-flourish/#sthash.ltVloqsS.dpuf

really??

GSKing: People who laugh and make people laugh are most likely the saddest, most depressed, loneliest and most suicidal people on earth.
Don't judge any book by it's cover, apparently, people, especially Nigerians, know too little or nothing about Suicide!

The generalization is rather sweeping, IMO. I would think the predisposition to depression has nothing to do with ones status, financial, societal or otherwise. It can happen to anyone at any time.

Duncan789: ARFH...Hissssssss....

One of the worst NGOs to work!

why is that??

dyfatai: if dem no one employ person, make dem talk, which one be all dis criteria.

.
Why will a prospective employer say a driver must have driven for NGO's before. How is driving for NGO different from driving for other companies?

.
Secondly, it's 6 years experience in this, 5 in that, 4 in this, 8 in that. No single entry level position. Graduates need job to get experience, companies need experience to give u the job.

.
Where do we go from here?

If you have the required skills that the job entails you will likely be considered even if you don't have the required years of experience.

Amefrica: Thanks everybody for your inputs, I really appreciate. The boy is fine now and we were assured at the hospital, that he's free from seizures henceforth.

Granny also made herbs a compulsion. It's called "Agbo ile tutu" ... That stuff smells like shii. Eww.

Thanks y'all for the help. I'm grateful..

I'm happy to hear about the progress of your brother.

Just some concerns, was he given medication at the hospital? If so what type? The reason I'm asking is due the herbs which your granny wants to give him. Recall my earlier comment. I'm not saying some of those herbal formulations don't work, it just that they may interact with the other orthodox drugs the child is on which may lead to undesirable effects. I'm speaking from experience here.

Speaking as a professional I have to say a lot of trash is being peddled on this thread. I dont have a lot of time to start dispelling them but the best advice given is to seek the services of a competent neurologist in a teaching hospital.

simply put convulsion is a type of seizure in which the muscles are affected which is what gives rise to the jerking observed. When the seizures become recurrent, the condition is then referred to epilepsy.

not all type of seizures cause convulsions. there is a type known as 'absence' in which no clonic twitching occurs. but its classified as seizureall the same.

convulsion cannot be cured because it is not a disorder as such. It is usually the symptom of underlying ailment. what can be done is to control the convulsive episodes whenever it arises., and to that end some posters eg spyder have given good advice on what to do.

By all means avoid any herbal medication. Also under no circumstance give a medication that has not been specifically prescribed for the child. I read up to two poster advising carbamzepine. They're probably unaware the drug can cause - yes cause - seizures in some individuals in certain types of seizures.

wish all the best

coderXO: No investment is risk free.

With respect to this thread, tbills are loans to a govt.

Should the govt fail, you might be holding useless paper.

Investing directly by yourself or (indirectly) via a fund, you bare the same risk. Buying through a fund, you have handed the cash over to a guy ( fund manager) and said "hey" buy for me...


A second level of risk is added by buying via a fund if the fund is poorly managed. The govt of the country didn't fail and is paying its debts, however, the guy (fund) you handed your money is bad in his accounting, management or whatever else.


Having said that, these "guys" (funds) are regulated by the SEC. You would also do your due diligence to hand your money to the more trusted "guys"


Chances are Nigerian govt "won't" do a total collapse in the next 2 years- and Stanbic ( or FBN Capital or InvestmentOne) "will" manage their cash and portfolios properly.


Not totally risk free, but low risk.


Peace.

succinct and jargon free. many thanks

Sile12: They rolled over(sumersaulted)...
Like those cars were repositioned before taking those shots

most likely. That car must have somersaulted multiple times. RIP to the lad

Its indescribably pathetic that we have sunken so low in our morals that some have deemed it appropriate to make jest over the loss. Truly pathetic. Yes he has his indiscretions, and they may indeed be many. but he's just like all of us. If God were to visit the sins of the fathers on their children, I wonder just how many of you morrons would still be parents. Thankfully I know my God is not like that.

Let us not let our hate twist our sense our reasoning, please.

Take for instance the comment by one imbeecile on his fb wall

Well, I've been in Ebonyi State for about 4 years now and compared to the other Eastern States I've lived in, Enugu and Anambra, the indigies are very peaceful, hospitable people.

I may not support many of Gej's policies, but I think he got it right on this one. This has be immediately and decisively nipped in the bud.

299: Wrong. Not Chime's sister, but his chief of staff (a woman though).

Whatever the woman used in holding Chime captive ever since he got back from hospital is yet to be known. She's now actually the governor at the background and has a dangerous senatorial ambition. The deputy governor is interested in going there too, hence his ousting.

She's also riding on the fact that Chime has done extremely well for the state and the people now seem to stand wherever he stands. Only God knows how this will play out. But in opinion, I don't think she'll win if the opposition presents a credible candidate. She can use jazz/pus..y on Chime as long as she wants, she'll still lose.

I think it will be a mistake to underestimate the 'strong woman of Enugu State politics', as she's commonly known. Was she not the one that literally held the deputy gov hostage during the protracted AWOL of Chime, and ran the state like her personal property?

There are indications she is battling the dep gov for the senatorial seat (East) and may be actually be the prime mover for the impeachment threat. lets see how it pans out.

Again. . .

PDP = APC = self seeking opportunists. nuff said.

bjtinz: lol! Your babe dey deny you punny/?
funny i know of some doctors married to nurses and pharmacist. I wonder if Na so Dem go fight for house. .
among the health people, Na nurses fine pass with dia big yanshes which they always shake. Followed by pharmacists, but una dokinta babes dey worwor shaa

#pervert alert! anyway no prob btwn my babe and me. we have been careful to separate work from romance so no cause for alarm, at least yet.

Just FYI, the nurses uniform naturally accentuates their curves, giving them a more voluptuous look. Female doctors, on the other hand, are usually on their white coats, and so their curves will be hidden from your likes.

@ topic, My concern is this battle has gone on for too long. Taking a peek at the see the kinds of invectives being used at the other NMA vs JOHESU threads is really a cause for concern. Its the type you'd expect to see in the politics section or tribalism section, and my fear is that irreparable damage is being done to the health sector with this protracted bickering.

Govt need to come in urgently and get all parties to dialogue.

feelamong: Dear XXXXXX,

Please find below the result of the Treasury Bills primary market auction which held yesterday Jul 09, 2014:


91 days ------9.95%

182 days ------10.244%

na wa o!! from almost 13% in Jan to this. . .

ikemefunam: please ,first bank twice refunded my money as failed tb,and my effort for them to issue tb to me via primary source failed,anybody with such issue with firstbank?

odd. especially for a bank of their standard

FIGHT! FIGHT!! FIGHT!!!

E don do naaa. . . Haba!!

This is actually my first post on this matter. I have kept a steady silence, observing from sidelines, [s]not because my babe is a pharmacist - their babes can fine sha!![/s], but because I see the whole episode as totally unnecessary, distracting, and not auguring well for the progress of the health sector.

The truth is, and if doctors and all health worker should be sincere, both camps, NMA and JOHESU, have a lot of inordinate, unreasonable, unjustifiable and downright ridiculous demands.

Let me start with that of my colleagues: Surgeon general, special number plate, overseas training, etc, are clearly frivolous. Are these the most pressing issues besetting the health sector??

as for Johesu lets face it: The consultancy thingy which I gather is the most contentious. Adeola has done a fairly good job trying to explain its merits, but I have to say I'm not convinced that is what we need right now. How different is it from the pharm d thing? Other equally unreasonable demands include equality of pay with doctors, headship of hospitals, etc.

I think the FG is also not helping matters. Why the apparent silence over the issue? Pls the fighting is enough ooo

MissMeiya: I hate PDP and APC the both of them. Touts, all. *spit*

Obinoscopy: Touts. They are touts. All of them. None exempted.

crusader01: PDP and APC are the same. I don't believe nairalanders will be e-fighting because of these parties.

doofanc: simply put.

yet you see e-iddiots--supporter of APC vs cankerworms--on nairaland banging their over parties that doesn't give 2 facks about them. nansence!!

Thankfully we still have discerning minds on NL. Its really pathetic seeing the APC vs PDP camps trying to outdo each other in defence of their parties' continuous show of disdain for the Nigerian masses.

"can you imagine what that APC politician was doing?? and not possible in PDP!!"

"PDP is a party of killers! APC will be the best thing to happen to Naija!!!"

I laff in gwari. I will always say it: PDP = APC = self-seeking opportunists. Nothing more.

. its bad to gamble ooooooo!!!

Dia ris. . .

Koolmexxi: Dem swear for these "wannabee Americana" rapper with drink?

You mind them. Drink and drive seems to be their motto.

monsuru560: Tel that to ur drunk father
Amugbo

how much you lose for Naija - France match?

No go find work, ode.

wirinet: All these shouts of "we demand more states" is only a way to get more oil money from Abuja to be shared by politicians and their cronies. The minute oil money stops flowing from the Niger Delta, the cry then would then be to merge the states into regions. I am sure by then Nigerian state would not be able to cater for more than 10 states.

Simply put. We are yet to come to terms with our bloated workforce and still some are clamouring for more states.

It will simply give room for more governors, commissioners, assemblymen, perm secs, special advisors and thier cronies to have a share of 'oyel' money. Nothing more!

Donkunxex: lol.he's jobless

what do you expect of gamblers. . .

Polio: Moro..n!

I dont use recharge cards.... I last used card top ups in 2001!

Fu.c..king get with the development and advancement of technology!

But you dey spoil market for those small scale recharge card sellers.

Originakalokalo: Now,lets say a recharge card PIN;
033214453698
exist somewhere,

the probability of getin d first digit corectly is 1 in 10 chances(0-9 is ten digits) 1/10

there are 12 digits in d pin, that means the probability of gettin the whole PIN correctly is

1/10 * 1/10 * 1/10.........in twelve places

hence, the probability of guessing a pin correctly is 1/1000000000000

in words,that is a chance out of one trillion.

Happy guessing....

earthrealm: anm algorithm is used to generaate the numbers............the probability of ur being able to guess the correct 12 digit numbers is 1 in 100 billion.
let me break it down...the probability of guessing the correct nos in a dice in a game of ludo is 1 out 6, the probability of guessing 2 dice is 1/6 x 1/6 = 1/36 ie 1 out of 36.
in the cse of mtn card...of 12 digits..the probability of guessing the first digit is1/10 so for the 12 digits is 1/10 in 12 plaCES = 1/10¹²
which is equal to 1 out of 1 trillion!............so unless the gray maatter inbetween ur ears is equivalent to that of a thousand einsteins. then a snow flake has a better chance of surviving in hell than u at guess those bloody 12 digits!!!

Mathematicians in the house!

most NGOs involved in the health sector do not discriminate against those having hepatitis B or even HIV. In fact, most of them do not even require pre employment medical screening. Mind you, I'm talking of jobs that pay well over 200k/month.

who is GEJ's speech writer?

nursedebbie: Op Picture of d slice dick pls

check PM news website

Should you choose to go ahead with your strange idea, what exactly will be chopped off?

ilugunboy: You are too old for this type of careless comment....
