[size=14pt]Anybody who can't see that this administration is frustrating our economy is blind indeed. These poor businessmen have been so frustrated by this government that they are being forced to smuggle debit cards in order to buy goods. What do you want them to do?? Become armed robbers??[/size] |
Missymassy:Hello Missmassy, Yes, it is possible to know when you are about to ovulate. It will involve close work with your GP and serial ultrasound scans to give the best time to meet your partner. The human sperm cell is viable for between 3 - 5 days while the the ovum is only viable for 24 hrs, so there is a narrow window to ensure success if all other factors are OK. Secondly, there are ovulation kits that indicate when a woman has ovulated. You can purchase this and learn to use them. Remember: the ovum is viable for 24hrs only, so, once it is positive, you have to meet with your partner that day. There are other methods which are less accurate but give broader windows. Finally, without the use of pre-conception egg selection, it is almost impossible to select a Y spermatozoon (boy) or an X spermatozoon (girl). There are some methods that are advocated but it would be unethical to discuss that here. All the best |
[size=14pt]Ndigbo have been excelling since time immemorial. We've produced more MBGNs than any other zone/tribe. We've consistently produced the best WAEC result in Nigeria. I don't need to start talk about about our business acumen ![]() All this was accomplished with a mere 20GBP for each igbo man after the Biafran pogrom[/size] Ndigbo kwenu!!! ![]() |

Rainess:I agree with many things you've said and maybe I've pigeon-holed many complex things but: How is marriage a basic instinct? Unfortunately, I can't upload a picture of Maslow's hierarchy of needs, but you can check it out. People marry for the reasons at the bottom of the pyramid: sex, family and companionship. Marriage in itself is not a basic instinct, but the things marriage provides are basic instincts. That is why lonely people have higher suicide rates (companionship) and the business of selling sex will always thrive. I merely used the example of cheating spouses to show that people may, and will often, do the wrong thing just because they feel a certain way. Let's not forget the original question. I'm only trying to show that these women who fall for celebs are simply lower down on the pyramid and they will always fall for the guys at the top who have it all: money, confidence et al. That's why they will continue falling for them |
Pacypatty:Ultrasound scans are highly dependent on the skill of the operator. One sonologist can see a boy whereas another will see a girl. That is why I advise women to wait for mid-late third trimester if they want to have a definite answer. hajarahbadmus:My 2 cents. Pregnant women with diastasis recti are not treated until after delivery and not every woman has complete resolution. Any major intervention done now may fail because the growing uterus will always exert pressure on your lax abdomen. Postpartum you may need to see a physiotherapist for abdominal reconditioning. Don't just do any form of exercise you see on the internet because they can increase the tension on your abdomen and worsen the condition. Surgery is also an option, but it is also done post-partum. |
Vinshu:In the name of whatever god you worship, do not try the Pile Driver, both of you will break all the breakables and possibly die. I'm a doctor, I should know. It is worth remembering that 63% of all statistics found online are made up on the spot. Orgasm in 5 minutes ke? Are you Voltron? However, in the interest of science, Vinshu and I will be do the Pile Driver very soon. You will all see how uncomfortable it is. Vdeo Link coming up soon |
Rainess:While it is true that homo sapiens have evolved to become highly intelligent, we are still controlled, in many ways, by these "base desires and instincts". That is why people leave their spouses for cheap thrills even when they know that a divorce could be the outcome. I'm sure you will not argue with the fact that emotions trump intelligence. A hot big boobed blondie dating a man old enough to be her grandfather and she calls it love?? Yeah right! Where is her intelligence? Also, I stand by my thoughts that men are naturally polygamous (not polyamorous). Monogamous men are constrained either by religion, culture or a respect for his woman/family. You come across as a smart woman and I can't possibly hope to convince you online so I'll have to refer you to do some reading on social psychology in your spare time and then revise your thoughts. |
Sorry shorty, I guess you have been meeting the wrong kind of men? May God to expand your circle and meet your needs My own kwestion is: Why are there so many women who are willing to offer men sex in exchange for little favours? Sir, if you help me with this job, We can . . . Sir, if you help me pass this test, we can . . . Sir, if you help me with school fees, we can . . . |
A few things 1.) All that we have heard is the account of the wife of ChazB. An emotion as powerful as grief will distort any attempt to hear the correct details. It is a painful loss and there will be an urge to rationalize. We have not seen the report from the officials of Saint Nicholas. 2.) From what I've read, ChazB was a post-renal transplant patient who recently had surgery for a hernia. His immune system would have been suppressed to allow the kidney to function. This imunosuppresion doesn't mean that the kidney will thrive, it just reduces chances of failure. 3.)The only place Dr. Kevwe erred was by discharging a post-transplant patient after a few hours. Knowing how precarity of transplant patients. He should have admitted ChazB for specialist review the following day. If a transplant patient has as much as a slight cough, you admit him for a full work-up. 4.)St. Nicholas should have had a specialist on ground. No excuses. 5.) Contrary to what many people think, there are a lot of good Nigerian doctors. Unfortunately, they are constrained by the system. Medical training in Nigeria is one of the cheapest in the world and yet we still churn out good doctors who smash the USMLE and PLAB 6.) I don't understand the fascination of Nigerians with elderly doctors. If Mrs. ChazB had run into one Baba, maybe she would not have published this. The marker of any good doctor should be competence. 7.) Medicine is apprenticeship. Ben Carson did not fall from the sky. He was also an intern once, making mistakes. Many people argue and shout that they don't want to see 'baby doctors'. I ask, who is the son of a goat that the baby doctor will attend to? A doctor is a doctor. The only reason to doubt a doctor should be a clear lack of competence, not because he is fresh-faced. lexybabe:This is one area I often feel a duty to share my knowledge. Any doctor worth his salt will tell you that it is naturally very difficult to obtain blood samples from newborn babies. These babies still have very friable and delicate veins and get a tap is many times a matter of luck; it does not matter if it is a consultant or a medical student. The squirming and wailing of the babies doesn't help the matter. So please don't fight with your doctor and give him heat, you will only put him under more tension to perform @toksytoks @lagusta |
@toluayo93 Terribly sorry about the discomfort you are going through. I'll share my professional thoughts with you, but I'm slightly uncomfortable with prescribing via anonymous forum This form of itching is not uncommon? It may be hereditary (in which case we can only palliate). It is also a symptom of a hematologic cancer (which is why I think you should see a doctor who will do some tests to rule that out). It can also be the somatic manifestation of a psychologic pathology. The exact mechanism is unknown, that is why definitive therapy is difficult. In many people, it disappears in the same strange way it started Please, don't use disinfectants or things of the like. It is not a matter of changing your soap. They will only worsen your problem by irritating your sensitive skin. After bathing, don't dry your body aggressively. Use petroleum jelly based cream e.g Vaseline/ Baby Oil May God give you respite. |
Rainess: Most women may not be gold-diggers, but most women are generally interested in guys who have wealth or power or social clout. It is just how they are socially engineered. These celebs have all the trappings of social security and women will swim towards that security Female members of any species tend to gravitate towards male members who can take care of them and give their offspring the best chance of survival Men are polygamous (that's why sperm come in millions); Women are hypergamous (that's why ova come in single digits) |
I'm not married but I will give my last 2 kobo to @Ethereal0110 CONS His mother hates the very ground you walk on. You feel trapped in the relationship He is making you go crazy, possibly threatening your mental health He drinks and smokes weed PROS 1. He gives you the D very well ![]() 2. ?My assessment: First I don't care what anybody says: Family ties are very important in Nigerian marriages. If the family hates you, then your chances of success in the marriage are slim. No man should ever make his wife-to-be feel insecure. The fact that he has created an aura of fear by threatening you is a big NO. I wouldn't advice my unborn daughter or sister to marry a man who smokes weed and drinks. #PersonalChoice What kind of man would plan to leave his mother and elope with a woman. I see a bloke with poor values. When you meet a turbulence in the marriage, who will be there to sit him down and caution/advise him? He will just elope with another babe Thus I will repeat the advice of aunty cococandy [size=18pt]LEAVE HIM!![/size] MrsPhyno, you know I'm not like this abi? |
This is an important matter. Mrsphyno, come and spread your mat Back then, you didn't need to hustle for a spot to do internship. There was a spot waiting for you. Only adventurous people left their home institution to go to T & T, South Africa or some other place. Recently, I did my internship at LUTH and then, my exam No. was Four hundred and . . . Each of the over 600 candidates paid 5k for application form. . .We increased LUTH's IGR It is this same evrywhere in the Southern & Eastern parts of Nigeria . . .and If you think getting internship is hard, wait till it is time to hustle for residency Uwa emebigo!! |
It took some guts to own up to her actions, even the ones committed years ago. However, I don't understand this matter of full consent, intermediate and partial consent? Before you meet the person, you get consent. Before you kiss the person, you get consent. Before groping, you get consent. Before taking off clothes, you get consent. Before getting on the bed, you get consent. Before wearing protection, you get consent. Before penetration, you get consent After the job is done, you get consent This is what feminism has caused |
Waliyllahi: To even stand a (slim) chance in Canada, you need to be a Citizen or Permanent Resident. |
MrsPhyno:Na so! girly00zero:There goeth a smart woman!! |
coogar:^ ^ ^ Flesh and blood did not reveal these words of wisdom to you. My sentiments 110% Bum shorts are bum shorts; whether for grannies or kiddes. It may not be overtly provocative like in adults or teens, but it is just seems inappropriate |
InvertedHammer:Nigerian organizations are scarcely helpful on a systematic level e.g I know of a program that is being run by the Association of Syrian doctors in America which new doctors integrate into the system. There is a similar program for latinos. Nigerian Physicians in the US, despite their large number, don't have anything like that. As for adultery, envy and snitching, I really have not have any experience with that. Have you? |
otiigba1:So sorry about that! That is a terrible thing to do. I'm sad when I hear stories like this because I know how embarrassing it can can be. Please don't kill anybody o! Just hand him over to the cops |
Ilaje44:Word!! |
drt:Sorry to hear your tale. There's something very peculiar about the UK and I don't understand it yet. It is not being parsimonius or tight- fisted, just an extreme form of self-centrism. My cousin had a similar problem when he was looking for accommodation in the UK to do his clinical attachment. I've seen good friends fall apart over there because of something like this so I'm honestly not surprised at your uncle's behaviour. Just keep in touch with him regularly but don't ask him for anything. Keep working hard and praying to make your dreams come true. otiigba1:Boda mi!! Give us deets, let's dissect the matter |
dustydee:I would never advocate anything that would put you on the wrong side of the law. That's tantamount to allowing a sinking man to drag you into the pit. I'm talking of people who genuinely want to find their feet and make an honest living |
PunkyVeer:Power is the greatest aphrodisiac ![]() |
Well,there isn't much to stay. I have always enjoyed stable electricity here in Canada. Occasionally, I'm inconvenienced by switching off my refrigerator every 3 days to avoid icing over Other than that, I can't complain ![]() |
gmyguy: Chartey:I agree with the above. A lot can change from when you get admission to medical school to when you graduate. Things will change. You will change as a person. An acquaintance was so keen on leaving Nigeria when he was still in med school; however he got a chic pregnant after NYSC, they got married and he settled here in Nigeria, throwing away his Step 1 and 2. A medical student's priorities should be scaling your exams and learning the material well. Some of these exams are not cakewalks so you need to have a good academic foundation. Let's keep the thread focused on matters related to medical doctors and let medical students use their own thread @rugged7, please share more info on that SA emergency medicine masters degree. I want to know more. |
gmyguy:@Waliyllahi Canada is worse than the UK and US when it comes to their allowance for foreign doctors to practice medicine. Even the UK can grant you locum spots where you will make a few pounds to keep body and soul together. In the US, foreign doctors join residency programs on the average of 7 out of 10 (this is specialty dependent) -all you have to do is pass your Steps on 1st attempt and you can get in. Canada has a doctor shortage yet their doors are firmly closely. Some provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan are begining to open up poco a poco |
loadux: Any doctor who plans to leave Nigeria has be gather information, money and then be focused to the end. These exams are not cheap and finding fellow doctors to motivate you will not be easy. If you are still starting out, better save cash or get another job because you'll need it You have to check what your endgame is. Do you want to specialize and become a Consultant/Attending or will you be comfortable as a locum doctor in the UK earning good money. Any doctor writing PLAB? In the end, it is all worth it. PLAB 1 - £155 PLAB 2 - £465 IELTS - 40,000 naira?? (let's ask @gmyguy for confirmation) This is exclusive of preparatory material If you want to do the USMLE, then Step 1 - $1015 - if you write the exam in Africa Step 2 CK - $1015 Step 2 CS - $1505 - you must go to the US to write this. Then you apply for residency This is exclusive of transport to Ghana to write the exam and processing your school documents. If you want to go to Canada (I don't advise this tho) Registration - $265 MCCEE- $1695 MCCEE 1 - $980 MCCEE 2 - $2350 I know some buds who are earning good money in the UAE, though they are non-training posts |
![]() Generally, most women want a man who will be a provider. It is not being greedy or anything like that. it is just how they were socially engineered. Don't blame women who don't want a date a broke guy. Traditional, men bring home the bacon and women cook the bacon. Women, particularly those from conservative societies, just want stability. Thus far, money is an imperfect index, but it is the only metric of stability that we have. There is usually no problem when a woman earns more than a man if the man is able to hold his own and provide for the family. The problem starts when the woman is wealthy and the man can't pay for the shirt on his back - talk less of a family vacation. Many young rich single women just want a man who has his game on lock; they are only trying to be responsible and you can't blame them for that. Brothers, get your act together, do something with your life and you will be spoilt for choice with responsible women. Skanky white girls can give you all the sex you want, but if you want somebody responsible (who is also doing something with her life), you will have to be a provider. It is the rule of nature all over the world. Just visit ATL or Maryland and see the proportion of Nigerian female professionals who just want a guy with a steady job, decent manners and a good credit score.Even responsible white girls will not come near a dude who can't get a grip on his life. In summary, build the treehouse and the birds will come flocking |
I think the original poster has answered his own question. Most of these areas have terrible environmental conditions - Canada: intense cold; Australia: intense heat. When you compare the population of Canada to its landmass, there is a huge gap. That's why Canada and Australia have these funky immigration schemes that allow you to come over legally, populate their country and pay tax money in their coffers. If you are willing to live in Saskatchewan and hustle, then money will not be your problem. The problem is that when these immigrants come, they flock to the same places as others - Toronto, Calgary et al. |
