you need to work on that temper

What more work do you expect,. He has managed the situation well. Despite such rude manner and provocation, which I expect you to have condemned

90M returned, just work on how they will return the rest, noting that this might take time and many of the fund has gone into campaign and the hands of many people that even umahi won't remember again. Plea bargaining still the best in this case ,not jungle justice

I have not been sleeping comfortably for some days due a serious pain. Am currently battling with a tooth ache, though I have tried several drugs but it seem the drugs are increasing the pain. Please can someone help me out with a remedy to fight the pain?
Thanks.

See a dental clinic to treat the real cause of the pain ASAP

For now, you can try analgesics , salt and water gaggle

There is a thread like this already

Hmmm. Nothing last forever

I have a 89% clean infinix hot s at ibadan

Hot s pro needed

'allegedly' I think she added that to avoid another litigation

I called him, we spoke briefly before his phone went off. Been trying but not responding... I'll call him tomorrow. I want to meet with him to show solidarity...


Never Again shall we allow the establishment to frustrate the innocent

My candid advice which I wish someone help me pass across to him is that he is fighting against principalities and powers, in have no doubt that he will come out victorious eventually (this might take years though) but he needs to re strategize and choose his battle, spend the mandatory period in law school avoiding all forms of trouble and provocations, the battle is sweeter once he has gotten what he wants and as an African proverb says and I paraphrased 'if you want to capture a monkey you might have to dramatize and pretend as if you are a fellow monkey'. There is a similar situation at hand where I work, peculiarity of some professions will make it difficult to fight some 'elders'. You need good strategy to fight them

I don't know their fight is that serious o

I still can't trust them

I have Infinix hot 3pro for swap with either hot4pro or hot s pro . ready to add cash

50 Naira condom would have prevented this bastard from existing

Who, so condom is now 50 naira.. Thank God I don't need it anymore

Nice one

I'm sure you will receive a lot more for saying that sir. Especially on Nairaland

Are you sure of this news?
If its true, RIP to this great man
I hope he has reproduced many of his kind, we'll surely miss him

Nice concept, some churches are too rigid to allow this though

There is a website on top of that Scrabble board ,ceck that

Tired of hearing any other news than resumption of academic activities, Those two governors are just toying with Lautech student's life

Wanted to write on this but I found someone did justice to it already.
Let's call on the mods..

Die ? That's too much a punishment for hacking a wifi

Joblessness is real

This is unbelievable

Kudos to the researchers for their efforts in trying to shed light on the PREVALENCE OF BETA THALASSAMIA TRAITS in Nigeria.

But, OP did you notice that the research publication was in 2009 and not current?

Did you also notice that, only 50 subjects were enrolled in the study?

Did you notice that, those 50 subjects were all in Ibadan?

Need I remind you that the population of Nigeria is over 170 million and as a result the research finding cannot be said to be significant in the general population. Although the researchers confined their study to south west of Nigeria, Ibadan to be exact.

Moreover, you seem not to have understood the aim of the study. Their aim was to acertain the prevalence of beta thalassamia trait & not the disease itself.

Furthermore, the researchers clearly aligned themselves to all I have been tying to make you understand since yesterday but you simply can't see beyond the misleading knowledge you have sunk yourself into.

Please, go thru the article again and gain some understanding.

All 50 subjects were only screened for Beta thalassamia trait. The result obtained from the research is to determine the prevalence of those with the trait for beta thalassamia and not sufferers of the disease as the disease itself is very rare in this part of the world.


I just don't know why you like confusing yourself.

BTW, what exactly is your discipline? Cos you talking about disgracing OUR PROFESSION got me thinking. Cos if u are anywhere near the medical profession or an allied health professional, your reasoning won't be this vague.

You understand nothing about that study , so if the prevalence wasn't rare in 2009, u think it would be rare In 2017. , like I responded to a post by more intellectual fellow, there are researches ongoing which I'm aware of, centered on findind the prevalence of thalassemia using molecular studies, till its published we'll rely on the current knowledge and great contributions from the author of that articlw I quoted earlier.
So do I need to also clarify for you that beta thalassemia trait is the same as A-beta thalassemia which was the main subject of discuss in my post as it is mostly misdiagnosed as AA on our conventional HB electrophoresis

And yes you are disgracing our profession by ignoring a constructive way of argument to be using abusive words and insults, that's not a conduct expected from someone you claimed to be (that's if you are really who you claim to be)

Oga, i am only trying to help your confused state by explaining things to you on your level. I can only discuss this subject professionally & holistically with a fellow medical practitioner with a mind to learn and expand our horizon on the subject.

It is clear that you are simply confused and not ready to be redeemed from this misleading information you are holding onto tenaciously.

You are not a medical lab scientist nor a pathologist so I can understand why you can't reason on same page with some of us who are medically trained.

I simply don't want to stretch the issue at hand beyond your layman's comprehension.


I assume that, you are an inquisitive person therefore I would recommend that you make out time to read about the thalassamias and compare your findings with that of SCA especially in the area of clinical findings & laboratory diagnosis.


Pls, stop confusing the public. Thalassamias are rare among the black population. Prevalence is high in Asian countries as well as the Middle east. So Nigerians need not worry about the condition. A proper knowledge of it is essential for us especially medical practitioners.

Until you do that, an recalibrate your senses, don't quote me pls.

I can see you have nothing to offer but insult, just don't want you to keep disgracing our profession with this your attitude. Thallasemia are not as rare as we previously thought they are

That's a research by prof shokunbi, Dr Kotila et all.
Now if you are really a hematologist I'm not expecting you to contend the Outcome of their study , except u have a counter study

I maintain that HB electrophoresis is the conventional technique for Hb genotyping all over the world.

You seem not to know when screening tests should be indicated. Neither do you know what confirmatory tests are in this case.

But, I will gladly help your shallow knowledge.

Firstly, you don't confirm a diagnosis using screening test like you are porporting. In a suspected case of SCD based on clinical presentation of a patient, the clinician may requests for some lab tests which I am implicating as screening tests in this case. They may include;

- FBC ( full blood count)
- Sickling test
- PBF ( Peripheral blood film)
- ESR (Erythrocyte sedimentation rate)
- Bone marrow smear ( rarely done)
The judgement of the clinician will be based on the laboratory findings. For instance, if the sickling test is +be and there is presence of target cells & sickled Rbcs in the PBF result & a reduced Hematocrit (PCV) usually <30% in most cases of SCA from the FBC result, this would prompt the clinician to requests for a confirmatory test if he suspects a case of SS/SC from the patient's history. That confirmatory test is Hb electrophoresis.

Now, advanced confirmatory techniques for cases of SCD are;

- PCR
- Isoelectric focusing
- HPLC which you mentioned for suspected cases of alpha or Beta thalassamias.

Now, the only reason why a clinician will request for confirmation using advanced technique is when the laboratory findings is not in harmony with the clinical findings or expected signs and symptoms of the disease under review.

This is where your argument hold waters. That if a patient does not present with clinical manifestation that suit entirely the laboratory findings in a suspected case of SCA (SS). The clinician should not rule out the chances of the patient to be suffering from the thalassamias. Therefore the need for advanced testings aforementioned.

I hope you find this submission enlightening and be humble enough to thank me rather than more arguments.

You can't be a hematologist , you don't speak like one.
There are screening test and diagnostic test, the definitive diagnosis of am Hb Genotype is genetic testing.

However , combination of other screening testing might be used to confirm the findings on HB electrophoresis, u see an S only band , you might want to do pbf and sickling test and repeat the electrophoresis in an acidic medium since S,D and G moves together on alkaline medium but differently on acidic medium. HPLC is not only useful in thalassemia ,it can also be a pointer to the presence of some rare HB which might indicate genetic testing. All this tests are used in combination to increase the likelihood of identifying the genotype correctly without genetic testing

pls I advise doctors and all other health professionals to ignore the rubbish posted by OP....
This is science...not mathematics.
AA marrying AS can never beget SS.

Bring out a science that disprove or keep quiet and stop the insults, be constructive in argument and not abusive, that's the only we to show us how mature and intelligent you are
