I am not a lawyer but this is how.

INEC cancelled some wards (many) results where Uzodimma had upper hand.
and the law says only the court can cancel election results and not INEC.

So the court now called for the results of those wards canclled by INEC
and added it to existing result which now gave Uzodima the majority
and was then declared the winner.

Uzodima actually won that election and not supreme court
governor as many wont to believe.

Of which PDP lawyers didn't counter the results of the cancelled ward

Jiby:
Hi Dr. Seun. Let me start by thanking you for updating the community with best practise in your line of work and making time dolling out free consultation services. Please sir , my boerboel of 16 weeks has a kind of swollen eye with traces of blood around his eye ball. I cant say for sure what is responsible, cuz it i noticed it only this evening. No pain or etchings.
is there something i could do to reduce the swellen

You're welcome sir, thanks for the encouragement. Let's observe for 3 days, meanwhile administer Multivitamins especially Vit C. If after 3 days no improvement, DM, I'll prescribe some over the counter medications for you. I'll be on standby

There is a scientific reason to that

DDexter99:
[color=#550000][/color]Good morning All. Please I need help on my 5months Bull Mastiff ear. It started with flies overing around his ear. Then he started scratching it with it hind legs. From a small injury it has now turn to an irritating sight to behold. I have applied antibiotics powder on it but to no progress. Please I need help

Good morning sir, gently wash the wound with warm water and mild disinfectant solution. Get GV from the pharmacy and spray on the area, if possible get a collar that will restrict him from scratching the area. Then administer vitamin C and broad spectrum over the counter antibiotics for example Amoxicillin. I'll be on standby

Hello,
I have a 5/6months female lhasa apso and she's refusing to eat regularly for a day now. She just sleeps all through and goes about without her usual agility.
I am seriously worried.
She vomited once a day ago and the VET instructed I administer her ORS and observe her for sometime.

Excellent, you can supplement with Vitamin C

Leilami:
Thank you.
But her vet has travelled for Christmas and is not yet back. And we were told not to give her water.

We gave her warm milk. Is that okay?

she licked for a little while but stopped.

You can keep her hydrated with the warm milk

Leilami:
Good Morning doctor.
Please my Gsd is ill. Her eyes looks pale.
She hasn't been eating for the past three days only showing an excessive thirst for water which after she drinks she throws up.
She is lethargic, losing weight and seems drowsy. Her vomit is of a whitish-foamy texture. It is a small quantity though considering she has no food in her stomach.

Please what can we do to stop the vomiting and make her eat because she has started losing weight and didn't even bark throughout the day?

She is a year old.

Thanks.

This is a serious issue, you need to take her to the vet clinic asap. Meanwhile, keep her warm and hydrated. I'll be on standby

Maid007:
Every surgeon in UK is called a Mr, not as a form of demotion, but to highlight that they're specialists and not mare physicians... Dentists are surgeons, hence they're called Mr.. I have posted this picture here before. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surgeon
Before you engage me in any further argument, kindly read through the previous pages so we don't end up repeating conversations.
One more lie from you and I won't bother to reply.

Please note, all that I'm about to post can be verified via the links I provided at the end of the posts. Dentists used to be called Mr, not because they are surgeon like MBBS holders, but because the UK govt wanted to distinguish them from medically qualified doctors (MBBS) (see evidence attached below). For instance, as a Neurosurgeon, if you use the Dr title instead of Mr while advertising, you can't be held liable, because you're originally medically qualified (MBBS) and your name is in the GMC register (See evidence attached below). But if a dentist used the Dr. Title, then before they were allowed to use the title, he/she would be held liable because he/she is not medically qualified (see evidence attached below). Even after been allowed to use the Dr title, Dentists are still required to state clearly that they are dentists while using the Dr. Title especially during advertisement (see evidence attached below).
I also stated that a Dentist in UK was once held liable for using the Dr. Title, without showing clear evidence that he is a dentist not a medically qualified practitioner, thereby misleading the public (see evidence attached below). I also stated that in the past Dentists in UK were using Mr, till it was changed to Dr, while till now MBBS Surgeons eg Neurosurgeons still use Mr. Title, showing clearly that the 2 professions are completely different (see evidence attached below) . So my dear friend pin point exactly where I lied so that can provide evidence. My brother, this is not a war, we are all learning. Cheers

Maid007:
Lol... You now follow Ponzi Hater to lie? Wow... And I thought u would be decent enough to have an argument without lying... You said UK dentists don't use the Dr. title in UK because they were dishonest?
You should go back to the previous pages on this thread where we discussed why dental surgeons in UK don't use the Dr. title... You and PonziHater don't even learn, you're are just bent on making baseless points. That's why you end up lying in the course of arguments.
Now I know you're also not serious.

My dear friend, if you observed my comments so far, you'll see that I've been very respectful and civil, and I never called you names. My dear friend, I DON'T TELL LIES, and I will never have gotten to this position I am in life, if I lie over petty issues. Why will I lie against dentistry, a course that is professional and very lucrative esp outside Nigeria A course that is one of the highest paid in the world. What we are only saying is:
1) Be proud of your profession without hanging it on another profession
2) Stop misleading upcoming dentists that they are medical practitioners/doctors, and dentistry is a "branch" of medicine like Opthalmology, Dermatology, Cardiology etc. When we both know that is not the case realistically. So that's it, no need for insults.
Now, to the issues you called me a liar over. I want to provide proof one by one with evidence in my next post

Greenkim:
Good day Dr , there is this trend of abdominal bloating in my rabbits which often kills them, i even took them to the vet nd he prescribed paraffin which didnt work.....pls what is you suspected diagnosis and perhaps a prescription....tnk you

It's bloat in rabbit. I'll get back to you, let me contact my colleagues who are experts in that area

AutomophixAkure:
Good day Doc. and happy new yr to all.
I took my 2 months plus female gsd for her second vaccination. Since yesterday, she has been dull; barely ate, but drinks lots of water.
Pls sir, what do you think is wrong? And what can I do for her?
Thanks

Administer multivitamins esp Vit C and B complex, keep her warm and prepare to return her to the Vet if her condition continues. I'll be on standby

Maid007:
You see that is the difference between human medicine and veterinary medicine. In human medicine, there are clear cut boundaries between specialties. I understand that in a veterinary clinic, a pregnant dog suffering from a particular disease may just be handled by a single veterinarian. But you see, in human medicine, a psychiatrist won't just admit a pregnant patient to a psychiatry ward to take delivery of a baby simply because the mother is mentally unstable. A psychiatrist would call upon an OnG specialist to come and handle the parturition, that's why referrals are very common in human hospitals. In human medicine different specialties come together for the benefit of a single patient, probably because human life is very precious.
And when did I give you the impression that I am not proud of my dental profession? If I wasn't proud of it, I wouldn't even be here trying to enlighten PonziHater and others on this thread. I'm sure you must have witnessed my sense of pride when talking about dental surgery. I don't even try to hide it.

About the difference between both professions, I believe Ponzihater has done justice but let me add a little more. In Veterinary medicine, we also have postgraduate training school where you become a constant/specialist, our postgraduate training school has NO affiliation with MBBS postgraduate training school and we are proud of it. When you graduate from this school, you become a consultant, trained to handle advance diseases in animals which an ordinary Veterinary officer can not handle. Infact our specialties are the most diverse in the world because of the different species we work with, for instance in neurosurgery we have small animal neurosurgery, large animal neurosurgery, equine neurosurgery etc each having it's own specialist because of the different animal specie anatomy. So sir, I assumed you said those in error, we have specialties and once a case is beyond you, you REFER in Veterinary medicine. Animal life is equally as important as human life because we humans need animals to survive. Because animals can't talk, doesn't mean they are inferior and don't need adequate and appropriate medical attention.

My dear brother, I believe you understand my point sir. You can celebrate dentistry, without reference to MBBS as a course. It's very easy. Starting from this thread, "my journey through dental school". Who are you? I am Dr. Alex, a dentist by profession shikenan!!!. Not threads like "my journey through med school" or who are you? I am Dr. Alex, a medical doctor. Semantically you might be right, but realistically you're giving people a wrong impression about whom you truly are and it reeks inferiority complex. Now imagine in your street, you tell people you're a medical doctor, and your neighbor had an obstetric emergency around 3.00am and was rushed to your house for attention pending evacuation to the hospital, what would you do? Perhaps at that point in time, you'll say whom you truly are, imagine how your neighbor would feel but may not be able to say anything out of respect. So that's our point here. Your colleagues in UK have similar problem of inferiority, that's why not until 2005, dentists were banned from using the doctor title. A case in study was a dentist, who advertised himself and secretly removed anything that would allow an average person know he was a dentist. He was apprehended and the UK govt had to force dentists in UK to clearly identify themselves as dentists, imagine the disgrace!!!. In conclusion, I've showed you some examples, let people know who you are. By definition some dictionaries define a Veterinarian as a medical doctor who deals with animal disease and even some dictionaries define a Veterinarian as a physician who deals with animal disease. But won't it be dishonest if I introduce myself as a medical doctor or a physician, even though in cases of emergency, we have the ability to handle human condition !!!. But we would never mislead people, because we are proud of who we are. There are many things a DVM can do that a MBBS cannot do and vice versa, so why won't we be proud.

santicruz:
Good morning Dr
I am so unhappy now, my dog delivered 4 puppies yesterday evening. I noticed something sticking out on her vulva, initially I tot it was placenta but it's getting bigger looking like inner body is coming out, I really need help.
I love that dog alot. I don't know any good vet dr

This might be prolapse sir, you'll need professional assistance. Where do you reside sir?

Maid007:
That's why I said "...in their specialty". Taking delivery isn't in the specialty of a cardiologist or a psychiatrist. Same way taking delivery isn't in the specialty of a Dental surgeon.
In the case of an emergency delivery, even a nurse or a midwife could take the delivery... But no other kind of doctor can take the place of an OnG specialist when there is any OnG complication...
Every specialist is a master of his craft. Being a veterinary doctor, I trust u already know this.

I understand you sir, but even in their speciality they do sir. For psychiatrist there are several post partum mental/psychological disorders that psychiatrist come across regularly, For the ENT same too sir especially in obstetrics emergencies where the newborn is having challenges with respiration or in-utero/congenital ENT conditions, same for the opthalmologist especially in in-utero/congenital eye conditions. My dear brother, as said earlier, every single course MBBS students are trained on or even during rotations are relevant to their speciality. If it wasn't, they wouldn't be trained in that area. What we are saying in a nutshell, is that you guys should be proud of what you do. Be proud that you save lives of people with oral carcinoma, cleft palate etc. Be proud that in Dental school, you where taught orthodontics, dental pathology etc. Open a thread and show the world why dentistry is the best course in the world without reference to MBBS, and I tell you, SgtPonzihater would be the first to congratulate you. For instance, as you've rightly said, I'm a Veterinarian. In Vet med school, we did a lot of courses similar to MBBS and even more, especially in surgery. Almost all the specialties in MBBS also have their Veterinary equivalent down to neurosurgery. But you'll never see me open a thread to gloat about the similarities, rather I opened a thread to show the UNIQUENESS of Veterinary Medicine to the world, and I got over 40,000 view and more than a thousand comments, with people seeking my Veterinary assistance in one way or the other. What we saying in conclusion is "Be proud of your dental profession without reference to MBBS" you'll never see an MBBS student say "we are similar to dental students because we did oral health under community medicine" Let it be same for dentistry too sir.

Maid007:
Does a cardiologist, ophthalmologist, Psychiatrist or ENT surgeon use the knowledge of OnG in their specialty? Does it make them any less of a doctor??
Concentrate on Ur finance field, u won't listen...

They do sir, especially in the case of emergency for instance, in taking delivery and other gynea emergencies, the above professionals are trained to handle it. But I don't think dentist are trained to do so or even licensed to do so sir

sgtponzihater1:
OnG and paed is only? This man!

A Dentist is a Doctor as per naija rule, but not a Medical Doctor. That's why medical doctors and dental surgeons are inducted as two separate but respected professions on the same day.
That's why there is a Medical council and Dental council as they are regulating 2 seperate professional

That's why when you graduate with BDS you can't go to any country in the world and be registered by their Medical Council, because your path is Dental. Shine on your path and commot eyes for people work.

All the best bro

PonziHater 25/12/22

My boss, merry Christmas and a prosperous New year sir. Sincerely from these conversations in this thread, if I had my way, I will scrap the course called dentistry in Nigeria. Why? because it is obvious that most dental students/dentists are not proud of what they are doing. I still remember your response to a post where a dental student was celebrating the fact that he was just taught the difference between COPD and Pneumonia, and you were like, what is your business as a dental student with that, rather you should be celebrating the fact that for instance were taught the difference between periodontitis and dental caries etc. The main problem is misguidance from the point of admission. They should stop telling students that dentistry is an alternative if you can't get MBBS or that Dentistry is the same as MBBS, this misleads students who still have MBBS in mind and leads to confusion as seen above. From the above, it is obvious that this our friend really wanted to be a MBBS Doctor but condition warranted otherwise.

Delsonxr:
Yes I have dewormed her....she is getting taller but not adding weight. And she is so lean.

Sincerely I still suspect worm infestation, but check her skin, do you observe ticks or mites?

She was eating abit while I was in port Harcourt, but I recently moved with her to Delta state and now she has gotten worst. I took her to the vet and I was given boaster to make her eat but to no avail, though she is still on the boaster but her eating is not encouraging and so is her size �.

It's very possible, get to a pesticide shop and look for a very strong disinfectant, they will guide you

Mozenge1:
Good evening Dr

My dog howls frequently these days,which she hardly do

It's normal, provided you are not observing any symptoms. It's part of their means of communication

goldhn:
I have a pure breed Caucasian dog. She is 6months old now but oh God this dog is very dull and has no atom of aggressiveness in her . I mean the other day a friend came with his Eskimo and my dog was beaten blue black by this small dog. Even there was a day I took the dog for a walk and was chased by a German Shepard along with my Dog. Lol. What can I do to make this dog aggressive. Even it’s just a little. I have heard talk about giving her Indian hemp or alcohol. Are this advisable?

Good afternoon sir, Don't give her Indian hemp please. Reduce play around her and keep her in her cage with little human interaction. If her meekness is not genetic, she would change

Franslobi:
Good evening Doc.
My 3 months old eskimo sheds alot.
Could this be an underlining symptom of a diesease.
Also, she is having flatulence( i gave her a mixture of milk and raw egg with lil can food) , what can i give her to make her feel better?.

Good morning sir, are you observing any symptoms sir? Aside the flatulence

Jacksparrow7:
