18th it is.

Mehn what is all this

Alexis105:
So it has humbled yahaya abi?? Someone that told seun from channel news not to ask him question concerning covid 19 now he is shutting down schs following fb guideline...there is contradiction there

they're all confused .

michoim:
They lack direction. Cross River state commissioner for health was begging FG 3 days ago to establish more testing centres yet they are flouting directives. Rivers Wike was threatening to shutdown the entire state this January yet they are flouting Covid 19 directives of the FG. Who is deceiving who?

you just said that my mind . That Cross River lady was talking like she was in a skit . As for Wike i knew it was all talk .

bash8936:
Na this man handle rivers for presidential election for 2015. Wey no fit read well. Them go bring light come for am still he no fit see base on the rigging.

yeme7:
So they are trying to tell us that... Its only convid 19 that kills.. No other sickness again..

Why is it that its only the high profile people that always died of this virus..
I still remain my stand that corona virus is scam in Nigeria.

so only 1300 high profiled people have died

Mayor224:
Now all deaths is covid-19. Where are we heading to. Must we attribute all deaths to covid-19. Even those who died as a result of nature.

what point are you trying to make here? That only him died yesterday or he didn't die naturally?

sacajawea:
A lot of people have died from the Second Strain of this Virus Disease and we know it, but Nigerians on the Internet being controlled by the devil, do not want to believe it.
It is stronger, deadlier and Tougher. People who are not at risk have seen something.
This government despite being very irresponsible and Selfish still is reasonable and Worried enough to take measures. Una never see anything.

well it's gonna be hard for anyone to buy that this government cares about 'preventable deaths'. Also what does una never see anything mean .

Elvictor:
when is Uniport opening na?

on NUC's and their individual orders

fekbam:
I thought the Federal Government put schools' resumption on hold till 18th of January.

Like I said it seems like an advisory than anything. And this is for state controlled schools.

engrMikemd:
It is not as deadly as the media paint it in Africa. It has 99.9% rate of recovery.

yes it might not be. Like I said our Government might be overly reactionary to it(they want us to believe they care about preventable deaths) but it dismiss covid just because we also have malaria.

Princepk212:
if does that develop the vaccine for covid 19 allow it to die a natural death how do you expect them to cash out on the vaccine developed. there is no better way than to create a market for that. How? boom! second wave and most infectious varient of covid19 and with the devastating effects of lockdowns on the global economy nation's see vaccination as better alternative to lockdowns.

are you talking about Nigeria cos some countries are way past second waves .

engrMikemd:
So does malaria

both are real but one is respiratory. Now if you're saying our national approach to it is nothing to write home about then you have a point.

MalaikaEH:
Conducive conditions for lockdown anywhere in the world.

1. Pay stimulus package of N100k monthly to all citizens. US parliament just approved 600 dollars for each citizen, yet they have not locked down completely.

2. Device means of delivering essential items to people's door steps. That is how China did it. If you allow people to go to market because of food, then the purpose of the lockdown will be defeated.

3. Security men to enforce the lockdown should be well trained to avoid unnecessary killing of people who still go out to look for food.

4. Government should not hoard any food palliative. This is Nigeria. Hunger is real.

5. Leave schools out of it. Nigeria does not have facilities for long distance learning. Schools should be locked down on case by case bases. That is, schools where students test positive should be locked down, or the ones that obviously flout the covid19 safety protocols. France and Israel are doing it like this right now. Parents are allowed to take their children to school and return back home.

6. As we go forward, NCDC should release data of which sector or people that make up the high numbers released daily. For instance, how many of them are students, bankers, lawyers, teachers, medical personal, travellers, wedding/burial or other event attendees,etc. It will help us to know who the main culprits are. Lockdowns can also be done sector by sector. Most European nations do it like that.


I have taken the time to write this because some states are thinking of lockdown again. Please don't lockdown if you can't put the above in place.
2020 was tough because of the long lockdowns, not necessarily because of COVID19.

100 likes for you. This is so apt. Our leaders are just arm chair leaders; watching CNN with their special advisers who will then drafty nonsense speeches filled with nonsense orders. I laughed when they said 'Pubs' should shut down also . I stopped monitoring our covid data when ncdc/officials refused to put more details into it . The way covid behaves here doesn't make that much sense, like why we're experiencing the so called second wave in December as if we ever cared about the damn protocols at any time . They even declared it a nationwide second wave when it's not only uneven, also inconsistent . I think we should have known they were lost when they said they were going to test 2 million Nigerians in 2 months . The PTF/Press task force exists now just for weekly briefings where they don't even say anything .

Also where do you see another lockdown loading cos I don't. They only went ahead with the fake one then cos it was the buzzword then. Now that that phase is gone, with issues of politics and even the legality of a lockdown, i just don't see it happening . Sorry for my long epistle .

Onwyno:
In today's conditions, it is quite difficult and distance education is the best option

nobody really likes that though. I don't see how it'll work or be any efficient in Nigeria

Originalsly:
Hmmm..... Am I to understand the guy had COVID-19 for 12 days and died because he was not given oxygen? ... that oxygen is what fights off Covid? If the isolation facility was out of oxygen... and oxygen is the solution... why hasn't more people been dying?... even this one facility should have more deaths than the national figure. Then because of one guy.... oxygen is suddenly available. Would it now be stored in Abuja?... in case another big one needs it?... or will it be distributed to the isolation centers and hospitals?

good Nigerian question

CSTRR:
When the president cannot go to a hospital in his own country, there is no magic to be done.
Improvements and quality will be scanty.

The minister Of health openly said Covid is just like fever, and no need to protect doctors.

The minister of labour also said doctors can leave if they want to go.

You already know two things from those statements.

(1) They don't depend on Nigeria for their health care.
(2)They won't bother about improving It.

where did ohanire say that

Inasmuch as I don't condone neglignence, there are a lot of issues with this story

1.Exactly what illness brought her husband to the hospital?? Was it something that could have been treated?? What was the prognosis?

I am asking this quesiton because oxygen is not given as a cure all...it is given as a part of what we call 'supportive management'. Patients have died on oxygen not because it was lacking but because their illness was terminal.

2.Doctors and nurses are not responsible for oxygen...it is the hospital's procurement unit. And this being a government hopsital...they probably did not have enough cash to buy enough oxygen

The thing is, we spend less than one trillion naira for over a 100 government owned hospitals. Recently, the head of one teaching hospital was quoted as saying that he gets six million for overheads...while the actual cost is 11million. Where is he going to get five million from.??

In my opinion, government should privatise tertiary healthcare and make primary and secondary health care its focus.

3.



I am a doctor, and I have told patient';s relatives several times 'there is nothing we can do'. Let me tell you of two such times

The first time was to the parents, and then grandparents of a newborn baby who ended up with severe brain damage due to obstructed labour. The child was rushed to the teaching hospital where i was with severe diffculties. If we had a ventilatior for infants, the child could have survived...but the thing is, the child would have been severely disabled...and may have died eventually. Telling the relaitons was the hardest thing I ever had to do...and it still hurts to this day, some ten years later.

Another time was a girl with a dilated cardiomyopathy. Heart was just a flabby mass...could not pump well. Everything had been done..all she needed was a heart transplant...not available in Nigeria. She died. 22 years. I nearly broke down.

Some of you people who insult and curse us doctors don't know that each death affects us too...and there are some we remember, even years later. And there are times when a patient, in grief...like the relation who blamed us for her mother's death...her mother's kidneys had failed...she was on lifesaving dialysis when she died on the machine...and it was all our fault. (We did everything by the book).

So, to the guy who said that the woman should slap us....well, I cannot hate you or curse you. All I can promise you is that we will continue to do our best regardless of the condtion. I do not expect your thanks when we succed...it is my job, and a postman does not celebrate when he delivers the mail...so therefore I won't celebrate when I save a life.

I love my work as a doctor. I have run , shouted, advocated, spent money for, cried over, lost my social life, worsened my health, so that patients can be comfortable, and lives can be saved. I am prepared to keep on working long hours, to keep on fighting, to keep on suffering, even if I do not get your gratitude, even if you slap me.....because it is my job, and if I and my colelagues walked away, things would be much worse....much much worse.

Every death affects me, and every death hurts me. I always find myself going over the possibilites. What could we have done,? What could have been done.? Sometimes I blame msyelf, and sometimes I never stop blaming myself. Sometimes I cry, sometimes, I cannot stop crying.

But that is the job. Some body has to do it.

So, I;ll keep doing it.

Thank you and good evening.

old but i like this piece .

Driving and Forex trading
Nobody taught me how to drive. I remember my first driving experience while I was in ss3. My dad sent me to withdraw money at the ATM. So he went for a wake keeping with his own car. My friend came and I told him to escort me to the bank. Then he suggest we should take the other car. PS: None of us has ever drived before.

I went to fetch the key. started the car and move it out of the compound to the bank. Withdraw from the ATM and we came back home..

We did that again maybe a week later but this time a man close to my dad in our street saw me. And he did whistleblowing to my dad.
You should know the rest of the story

something that took me close to two months to perfect, you did it in one day . How did you guys do it especially without an instructor?

WeRblessed:
Cooking. I can cook for the whole Africa, Europe and America lol ! I just love cooking. My mom and dad almost went to jail because I turned on the gas cooker trying to cook when I was 9 years old, and unfortunately the kitchen curtain ( small decorative chiffon material close to the stove) caught fire, and the whole house was filled with smoke. Smoke detector went off and our neighbor called 911. By the time fire fighters arrived and found out what I had done they got the police involved. Within five minutes my mom and dad came back and met me being questioned by the cop. They were handcuffed immediately for child negligence. By the time they found out that my parents left me with my then 24 year old cousin, who left me and quickly ran to get something from chick-fil-a, they released them. My dad was already cooling off behind the cop's car, while my mom was still pleading and trying to make the cop understand that my younger siblings and I were left with a baby sitter while they went to work. My parents were scared that the social services might come and take us away. After that incident, I was not allowed near the kitchen until I turned 13 years. Since then, when I am not at work or seeing my patients, I am cooking, baking or in the gym.

wawu . American laws and wahala .

wisdomclay:
No one taught me how to write codes and develop softwares.

how did you do it, how much time did you use

Can someone fill me in on this .

LandMann:
Nigeria needs complete restructuring...

We're this underdeveloped because a certain part of this country doesn't value education while the other part of the country is so good at looting that their educational achievement is nothing but nonsensical because there's no practical application of learning while those with good brains run away before Nigeria and it's wicked leaders kill their dreams.

As part of restructuring, we must operate this country on a new constitution that gives rights to states to manage their affairs themselves, from revenue to spending and all... while extremely strong autonomous bodies are created to checkmate each other in the states... Every affairs of the states must be public knowledge, down to security vote spending...

Each state must spend minimum of twenty five percent of its budget on education... Colleges of science and technical institutes must be established and fully funded...

Death should be the price for corruption.

Churches in the south must contribute 50 percent of their revenue from offerings and other donations to funding public education and health.

Fück you and your ideology if you think churches shouldn't do the above.

Each state must make laws that caters for the welfare of indigens of the state...

If majority of the people of a state want Sharia law then give them Sharia.

If you go to their state, be ready to obey their Sharia law just as you won't Mess up in Saudi Arabia or UAE...

Respect each other.

Reduce federal government role to national policy making that doesn't conflict with state policy... national defense, and migration so that if a corrupt thief from the south becomes president he won't see money to loot and if an illiterate from the north becomes president he won't frustrate western educational progress in the south because his religion does not really fancy it.

This country is a dream killer.

All those looting the resources of this country and contributing to killing the hopes and dreams of millions of Nigerian via corruption and nepotism, from governor to president to lawmakers and judges all of you will die untimely death... Sorrow and deadly diseases will never depart from your head and your household. You and your family will never know happiness just as u have put millions of Nigerians in poverty and suffering despite the riches of the country.

That's my new year message to Nigerians and all leaders in Nigeria.

can half of this even be possible? Maybe in the next half decade. Restructuring of this manner won't be a walk on the street .

dancok:
stay away from clothingonline ,

na scam abi

Vexedkid:
Because people are coming from more infected states into Kogi, in the case of resumption.

according to both the ncdc and Kogi SG, kogi is covid free . Even zamfara until this week was somehow covid free. So...

They haven't told us the complete details cos i just saw one in circulation saying BUK is resuming on the 18th. It looks fake though.

Vexedkid:
The way this covid cases are rising I don't think schools will resume even in February.

then they'll be putting everyone in the same basket cos the rise isn't even. For instance, why should Kogi state resume in February with others?

QuintessentialW:
All Federal Universities should take a cue from UNILORIN!

and show how online learning can't really work? . I'm waiting to see how they pull it off.

bjtinz:
I wonder if this is case of increased testing or is the positivity actually rising?

God help us.

could be both, we don't really get to know their daily testing from ncdc like before. Also it's 4 states mainly pushing the figures. But then the so called second wave is still uneven .

To see how 2020 won

mayprince:
Why not switch to online classes instead of lamenting here?

Below is an attachment of Unilorin newly released academic calendar majorly for virtual lectures.

what is 'rain' semester?. Also could you upload a better quality. Thanks

Question; private university students, how are the online classes, do you enjoy them?
