Often times,Nigerian doctors are being made mentioned of in light of bad things or mistakes they make,but from my experience as a medical student,Nigerian doctors are very dedicated to their patients and often go beyond their job description to make sure their patients are cured. Here are some of the things I've witnessed:

1.Donating blood to patients: In Nigeria,scarcity of unpaid blood donors is a major concern.At a particular time we had a patient that needed quite a lof blood,the consultant in charge had to donate his own blood for this patient and mobilized other doctors and medical student to donate just to save the life of the patient.

2. Paying the bills of patients: Most patients that come to government hospitals are usually of lower socioeconomic status,the middle income go to private hospitals, the rich travels out. Often times,patients in Nigeria are unable to pay their bills.Many times I've witnessed doctors paying the bills for a patient to have a test done,paying part or even all the hospital bills of patient at times.

3. Going home to find out why a patient missed clinic: So many times,doctors in Nigeria will go to patient houses just to find out why the patient missed clinic or stops coming for treatment,infact appealing and begging them not to miss clinics again.


That's just they few I could write about now,feel free to add yours.Please learn to appreciate doctors and say thank you the next time you see one.

Nigeria on Wednesday agreed to host the Afcon qualifier involving both teams after the Confederation of African
Football compelled Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia to find alternative venues for their home game owing to the
spread of the Ebola virus pandemic.
The NFF boss expressed his delight getting the go ahead from the Federal Ministry of Health to host the match
fixed for September 6.
“We are delighted to announce that we have received the go-ahead from the Federal Ministry of Health to host the
match,” Pinnick said.
“The Sierra Leoneans will come with a delegation of 32, made up of mostly overseas –based professionals,
technical crew and officials of the SLFA, to be led by its president, Isha Johansen.
“We are happy about the go-ahead because, once more, our country has an opportunity to underscore its
leadership role on the African continent, nay global sphere.
“The NFF has initiated discussions with the Lagos State Government and the Rivers State Government on
preventive measures, such as keeping Sierra Leone’s small delegation in a special hotel where they can be
monitored at all times.”
He also said that the country has nothing to lose agreeing to host the game; instead it will be a big boost for
Nigeria football.
“We are talking of hosting the African champion team, with the likes of African Player of the Year, Yaya Toure and
others, and this will certainly earn us commendation from Caf and Fifa,” he concluded.
Sierra Leone sit at the base of Group I after losing their first game 1-0 to Sudan courtesy of Ramadan Alagab’s
strike in the 77thh minute at the Khartoum Stadium, Khartoum on June 14.

please,is the promo still on?

Please did anyone on NL participate in that survey?
Just want to be sure it wasn't done in the moon.

skyra:
we did not ask them to fight for us or send troops. We wanted to buy weapons with OUR MONEY, not credit and they refused. Now they wan dash us training and hardware free of charge!!! Yeye dey smell

My point exactly,why can't we develop our weapons?

Nigerians should stop shouting that America didn't help them.Must they fight our battle for us? We must grow up and learn not to depend on foreign countries.

mrtimycc:
I honestly think your questions are irrrelevant, maybe you should redirect the questions to the past heads of state

You don't get it yet,he has been in power for over 6yrs,why didn't he turn to the Russians 1yr,2yrs,3yrs,4yrs,5yrs??

donnypool:
give me another reason?

Why not answer my question first

kosovo:
You are the one fooling yourself...

In the last 6 years.. U.S blocked every channel of weapon sale to Nigeria.. It was blocked in the U.S, Israel, And South Africa..

Until we went to Russia and Ukraine, which U.S has no power over.. Nigeria couldn't secure some weapons to combat the hi-tech weapons of BH.

Secondly, in the last 6 yrs.. Neither border nations joined the fight.. Now we have Chad, Niger, Cameron and A.U in this fight.

Over 20,000 solders, Airforce and Navy are in this fight . Hence, the massive offensive and bombardment..

I feel bad when I see comments like this.I have three questions for you:
1.Must the government wait for six years before doing the needful?
2.Must there be war before we start procuring weapons?
3.When will we stop depending on other countries?

donnypool:
apart from boko haram, immigration scam and "stealing is not corruption" have you guys said any reasonable thing?

So boko haram and corruption are not resonable?? You are obviously a Jonathanian

If these people feel so threatened,why don't they go and setup private laboratories?

The writer of this should understand this,technology has so much grown that very few lab scientists are actually required in the hospitals now as most tests has been automated,remember what happened to cashiers when ATM came into place? Why would I need to employ 10 people for a job that one person can do with an automated equipment?So it is nobody's fault,it's just advancement.

JOHESU is a JOKE.They just have this inferiority complex troubling them.How were doctors treated? If they were to treated as doctors were treated,they would have been sacked by now.Nobody is even feeling their absence,doctors still attends to patients,no wonder the masses are not talking about them.Clueless set of people.

The Minister of State for Defense,
Musiliu Obanikoro, has appealed to striking
resident doctors and interns in military
hospitals nationwide to return to the service.
The doctors on Monday embarked on a strike
to protest the alleged non-payment of their
salaries.
"I appeal to all resident doctors and interns
in our Military Hospitals nationwide to
remain calm and return to the service of our
nation and humanity," the minister said. According to the minister, concerted efforts
were in process to ensure all their
outstanding salaries and allowances were
paid as soon as possible.
He sympathized with the affected medical
personnel.
"I empathise with the affected medical
personnel. Our response to their demands
will be sure and swift. God bless our medical
personnel and God bless the Federal Republic
of Nigeria."
It was reported that the striking doctors
embarked on the industrial action after their
two-week strike notice was allegedly
disregarded by the authorities, who refused
to pay their salaries since their appointments
six months ago.

Later some peolple will say doctors own too much....

50calibre: You're missing the point, this isn't just about the academics, it's about the whole package.

In terms of quality, you can't compare those schools to the average Nigerian school, the environment, the teachers, the facilities, the intellectual level, the pattern of learning.... are miles ahead of Nigerian standards.

Those schools are for the creme de la creme, no wannabe thugs, no poor people & most likely no bullies. Every kid is such school comes from an upper class, there kids develop network of important friends which comes handy in life. That's why you'd notice people of an upper class belong to a certain clique, these are where those cliques are formed.

People who send their kids there are not fools, if you got the money, send your kids there.

.
You are on point,thesame set of people that finish from the schools are thesame set of Nigerians studying in harvard and the likes.

If we treat Ebola,HIV should watch out.

olala32: u re st pid.! Is he a medcali doc. Or medical scientist? If nt why d mockery on pharmacist.dr ,becos dey heard of ebola and decided to resign in d name of strike.useless drs.

Your comment shows two things,either your family has never produced a doctor,which is pathetic or the ones you've produced are useless,which is more pathetic.

Mrfemi1: very daft idiot. Your reasoning level must be so low. Your intellect sef is questionable. So because a doctor spends more time than a patient it means the doctor is committed Fucking hell!
