Health › Re: Protest in Uniport Teaching Hospital today due to the death of a student by samopeyemi: 6:54am On Sep 01, 2015
bushdoc9919:
View from a medical doctor.

(Disclaimer...I do not work for UPTH, or any of its affiliated institutions.)

First off, I commiserate with the students of Uniport as well as the lady's family over this untimely death.

Second....let's look at this case.

They got to the hospital. Most likely....they got to the Accident and Emergency Department....the Emergency Ward. And they were told by the nurse....No space.

When the nurse tells you no space...there most likely is NO space. Most nurses in charge of A and E do not turn away any patient who comes to them for help. And when there was no space...there most likely was no space.

The problem is that we do not have a good emergency response in this country. Here is how it is done in developed countries. The girl slumps, her fellow students immediately start CPR (which they have learned) and someone calls an ambulance. The ambulance arrives....and the ambulance drivers and paramedics start first aid. Meanwhile...they have an idea of where the nearest hospital with free bed space is....and they rush her there in the ambulance (Or sometimes by helicopter.). On arrival....there is a team of docs and nurses waiting for the patient.

It does not happen in Nigeria. And yes....UPTH is filled up because A and E can get busy(I should know). I have worked in hospitals where A and E is quiet during the day...then all hell breaks loose at night. And unfortunately...patients die because there is no space...or because the Casualty officer and the nurse are overstretched serving several patients.

So, the students should not blame the medical folks here. Instead....blame the lack of planning in our country. Port should have several tertiary level hospitals that are equipped to take care of several patients. The fact they do not is hardly my colleagues fault. And it won't be right to treat the patient on the floor either.

In a hospital....a tertiary hospital....no space means no space. The number of patients there was probably too many. So....unless the students have proof that there was space and the nurse was lying....I see no case of medical negligence. I see a case for better leadership from Abuja though....and for Buhari to appoint a health minister quick quick.
Hmmmm.
Let us look at it from this angle, if that lady was her daughter, relative or someone very close to the said nurse, what would she do?
No space and that's all!!!
I know the bulk of the blame lies on the government, but we can always improvise, we've always been doing so.

Literature › Re: Accidental Victim by samopeyemi:
Nice work.

But clarify this.....

Dioxidane:
Chapter Six
'We are in a lorry', she said in a weak voice. 'A lorry?', he asked with a quizzical expression on his face. She nodded.
Damien looked around him and he finally understood the setup. He braced himself and tried ramming the wall with his weight, but it was sturdy and it held. The cavity in between the wooden wall and the wall of the lorry absorbed the sound. It was a no-brainer.
Dioxidane:
Chapter Seven
Suddenly, Striker, the Leader and the Lady got
out. Damien clearly heard their doors open, like
he was with them outside. Their doors slammed
with enormously loud metallic clangs in the
stillness. He heard them come around to the back
of the trailer. He could hear the sound of the keys
swinging gently as it was slid into the lock
. The
lock clicked back, the handle turned and the door
swung open.
Cos he could have heard this too and scream for help

Dioxidane:
He went to the back of the trailer and reluctantly
unlocked it. One of the police officers threw open
the two doors and looked inside. He looked up at
the contents of the cargo and saw what looked
like bean chaff stacked in bails up to the top of
the trailer. He looked carefully, but it didn't look
like anything was hidden behind.

Science/Technology › Re: Geometric Power, GE To Build 1,080 MW Plant In Nigeria - Reuters. by samopeyemi: 11:52am On Jun 18, 2015
Nigeria's Geometric Power will build a 1,080 megawatt power plant jointly with General Electric , with the first phase of the project generating 500
MW expected to be completed in 2019 at a cost of $800 million.





A welcome development. But with d 500MW getting completed in 4years time, i dont think we should be expecting constant electricity anytime soon, cos God knows how many MW we need; maybe 20,000.
However, with more private participation and a number of project going on simultaneously plus rehabilitation of existing plants, maybe in 10years time we will get dir.

Politics › Re: Don't Single Out My Administration For Probe: Johnathan by samopeyemi: 5:43pm On May 27, 2015
Arabambi1:
Morally speaking, I was thinking a successor is in better position to initiate probe on the predecessor. You can hardly hear a new incoming state governor say he/she will probe the past administrations from inception till date, he/she will only concern him/herself with the immediate predecessor (e.g Wike is saying he will probe Amaechi and not starting from Odili). So GEJ should have probed OBJ, OBJ should have probed Abubakar, Abubakar should have probed Shonekan, Shonekan should have probed Abacha, Abacha should have probed babangida. It will be extremely difficult to say Shonekan should have started his probe from Shagari. So if GEJ did not deem it fit to probe OBJ for any reason, he should not advise GMB to extend his probe beyond his administration. Come to think of it, statement like this gives indication that you have already given up because of your atrocities. It's like saying "I know I am going down but I don't want to go down alone". The simple statement I expect from him is something like " Let them probe my administration and see whether they can find something against me" that's a brave man attitude GEJ!
You are blessed!
Olorun a da yin si sir
Politics › Re: Don't Single Out My Administration For Probe: Johnathan by samopeyemi:
ichoku2015:
GEJ on point. The "probe" should cut across all past administration especially Abacha govt where Buhari served as the PTF Chairman considering the looted money returned to Nigeria from different parts of the world. Furthermore, the $63.7 billion debts was accumulated over past administrations. Lets start the probe from the source....
Na GEJ suppose probe previous administration(s) to make d job easier for GMB.
Anyway we'll START with GEJ. He is even indirectly admitting his tenure is corrupt

taiwotosho22:
Literally, the workings are correct but mathematically wrong. 0/0 is indeterminable. It could be anything i.e if you use another number apart from 100 to prove u could get another answer. Now OP use old numbers instead of even numbers to prove, u will see that u won't be able to prove it.
How about this

Education › Re: Photo: See How A Mathematician Proved 0 Divided By 0 Equals 2 by samopeyemi:
The steps seem to be quite logical.
When you prove in maths, you manipulate figures as you like, as long as your steps follow basic maths principles. It is not a must dat you express the numerator and denominator same way (or is dir any mathematical rule backing such?).

Although from existing knowledge 0/0 =undefined, so to say.
I actually saw d proof few years ago on an Indian Facebook Page for engineering students

Politics › Re: Is A Federal Minister Superior To A State Governor Constitutionally? by samopeyemi: 3:12pm On Apr 17, 2015
The minister is the face of the president in each ministry......
Whatever a minister does, it is assumed it is the president acting, since d president cannot do everything on his own, therefore he is in need helpers.

Just like comparing a commissioner to a LG chairman.

Politics › Re: FAKE "Alleged Picture Of Osinbajo's Family Home" FAKE by samopeyemi:
I dont believe the story.
If Prof Osinbajo neglected his father, remember he has a junior brother- Akin Osinbajo who was also once an Attorney general and commissioner for justice in Ogun State.
At least one of them will have sympathy.

Education › Re: Salary Scale Of Lecturers In Nigerian Universities by samopeyemi: 7:05am On Jan 23, 2015
Wow, good to see this online. Had a discussion on this with a friend on saturday.

Sincerely, d salary structure is poor. Getting a phd is no be beans, and such person still earn less than what a BSc holder with 2 to 3 years experience will earn in some standard firms. Thats why most of the best brains we have dont even consider lecturing in Nigeria

Between not all lecturers sell handout, at least it doesnt happen in my school, selling of handout happens mostly in state owned institutions and dir lecturers even earn less. Also i dont think its easy to get part time lecturing job in private university with just msc, most prefer prof or retired lecturers.

Also, You dont av to be a lecturer to av a secondary source of income, so thats no big deal.
