bragging,

some times a brain scan will help, psychiatrist are the only specialist who don't see the organ they are trying to cure. it is like throwing dart in the dark.

May be in remote part of Nigeria, because CT and MRI are the norm today, evidence-based practice. Or how is Vascular Dementia diagnosed ?

My best time of the year, winter season.
I wonder if I'd ever get to like it. Although, I have always admired the season from afar and yet to have a real experience.

I look forward to this.

I prefer the Summer Sunshine to this.

Frosty, dark n foggy

Another way to keep the youths busy to the extent that they will forget their primary responsibilities. Expect more of these shows before 2023.
My opinion.

Aprokodaughter:
Na everyday una dey fight for this thread una no dey tire for arguments and insults?


And the bad thing is that you guys don't even take corrections just be arguing with no aim. Everyone wants to be correct.

So many Messiah Complex being displayed in the thread lately.

Frankly, I think this "rude attitude" thing is '5 & 6' with all Nigerian public services, especially those that are runned directly or indirectly by the government.
The Police,
Power Distribution Companies,
Civil Servants, to mention but a few are not left out.
These workers see it as a norm now maybe because they are not
been punished for behaving in those ways.
Anyways, I will pin it to a rotten system where people get jobs on the ground of money they paid for it or the person that they know. That's why quality public human relations have been thrown into the thrash.

Oh finally, someone has seen the underline problem. It is a systemic thing, almost a norm.

Leadership account for everything. People will go to Orilonise Hospital that has quacks dressed in white as nurses, they will be mistreated and abused. Then complained that nurses are rude. FYI, you were not attended to by nurses. Where are the agencies and parastatals that should regulate private clinics and hospitals. In the UK there is CQC, What do we have in Nigeria.

In the Government hospitals, where real professionals are employed. What is the training and retraining schedule? What equipment do they have to work? I know nurses that have had slipped disc from trying to lift patients alone. To these nurses, no Jupiter will make them to attempt lifting a patient alone.
After explaining to the patient that they cannot perform this procedure alone, they will wait for their colleagues to be free to join them. (I do not think any of the teaching hospitals have patient hoist). From the patient's and relatives perspective, this nurse could be said to be rude and uncaring. But really is it the nurse's fault, no.
Chronic Staff shortage and dearth of clinical equipment are the issues.

azadus18:
it depends on d personality dey are dealing with...none of dis profession can be rude to me....

Because you have not been rude to them.

Farki:
I met a few good nurses but really to be honest many don't have patience at all. Some were very rude to me and kept making things difficult when I was just trying to do my job.

The ones I got to know as kind took months of work to interact with.

There are bad eggs everywhere. But to paint all nurses with the same brush is what I don't appreciate.
Many of us have been unfair to nurses, and most nurses themselves are not ready to shake off the misrepresentation, denigration and subjugation of their Profession.

Irunmole:

The customer is always right is not just an empty saying.

That statement is relative. Earlier this year, A commuter spat on the face of a lady, a train ticketeer. She developed Covid 19 and died, the guy has been taken to court in-absentia after the fact. He will serve his sentence one day.
Customers are only right when they respect staff and comport themselves well.
I cannot remember how many times, I have called the security to intervene and take some folks out.

Farki:
From my work experience nurses just hate people overall because they think they are either stressing them or messing up their work. After a while as long as the patient isn't dying they will just do whatever because they are used to it.

Some Doctors have a god complex because their work is held in high esteem and some are just sadists.

But one thing you notice is that all these professions have to deal with constant human interaction.

Finally you didn't add soldiers and police to the list.

Another blanket opinion again. Has no one ever met a good nurse? It is like saying that Nigerian hates nurses.

qwertie1234:
i understand that been rude and impolite is something personal but looking around, some professions habour large number of these rude and stern set of peeps and it makes me wonder..

1.Nurses; I recently went to a general hospital to see a friend and seeing the way these nurses handle patients makes me wonder if hostility is part of the nursing curriculum being taught in nursing school... A particular patient was screaming of pains and these nurses were just glued to their plasma television watching zeeworld.. I understand the work load is quite cumbersome but does that justify thier carlous attitude towards people they are meant to take care of...

If don't mind, what do you mean by 'handle the patients' was it manual handling or just interactions/communication.

Positivelyblue:
[b]Nigerian nurses are generally bittered to both patients and medical students [/b]and I still don't know why but for medical doctors I've never seen any rude doctors before because they have to show empathy to their patients if they want that px to improve health wise.

You cannot have a negative blanket opinion like this about a people and expect them to respect you the moment you walk through the door. Most things in life are mutual including respect.
Some years back, I walked out an American out of the clinic for using the f word. ' I have been f**king calling you' I showed him the door and he left. He reported the incident to the Platform's Manager and I narrated what he did. He apologised and I attended to him after that.
The question is are Nurses respected in Nigeria ?
Someone raised the point that Nigerian Nurses behaved well, outside the country. The reason is, they are respected outside the country. In saner climes, there is dignity in labor, I should be respected for the 'little' i am contributing to humanity. Even if I am the one cleaning your shoe, you should respect me for being the one cleaning your shoe.
Let all Nigerians cultivate RESPECT as a norm irrespective of the persons involved.

Ace2013:
Appreciate.

Please note that you are not applying for a new Visa, you are extending your existing Visa as it will take into account the number of years, that you have spent already. Basically, it's only your Biometric Biometric Resident permit that will change.

Ace2013:
Thanks for taking your time to respond. The new employer is aware . Appreciate.

As I said I resigned after I got my new BRP.
Check item 48 for the second question about dependants.

LagosismyHome:
Once you have a child or children .... I think your deposit is fair game. It might come back or might not. If it doesnt then that the price to pay.

While living in the former rented flats, my girls wrote on the wall, I cleaned it, bought a white paint from Wilko and painted the walls. It was a job well done to me but when I moved out, the letting agency that did the inspection said the paints were not done by a Professional. I had to agree to let go of £78 for it to be repainted.
This new house, they have splashed some paints on the ceiling again. I have cleaned and painted on it with my white paint hoping that I got this one right otherwise some part of the deposit will go for repainting of the ceiling. It is what it is.

Hi Soknown,

Another question for you .

I resigned after collecting the new Brp. It does not matter if your present employer know that you have applied elsewhere or that you will soon leave.
I will advice that you should let your new employer know about the 3 months notice.
Yes, you do not need to reapply for your family as long as their documents are within date. I will check my archives and send the document to you or post it here.

The 3 digit on the back of the card is more important than the pin. It is your digital signature. If that is compromised, your funds are gone. Those people saying it is not possible, should try to order items on foreign sites. Some may send verification code to your phone number but who says, your phone number could not be cloned if you have enough fund in your account that is worth the trouble. Imagine paying subscription for porn that you did not watch, that is mild. It could be worse.
Most of these cyber criminals are smart people, smart in the wrong way.
Protect your card, when you want to pay with card, be aware of the angle of the camera if there is any. There has been instances where details of the front and back details of some people's bank card are captured on the camera. If the fund is worth it, they don't stop at nothing.
#This is not scaremongering.

drnoel:
Ok, it's ok sha since its roses u are planting and not Vegetables.
Maybe when u find time in the spring, try to plant Vegetables around spring so u can enjoy them in the summer. Our last summer yield was really a lot. I even got my wife interested in gardening after she saw how much veges, we could harvest. It was fun.
Ofcos, do what u think is best sha. I am just saying.

Many thanks, I will try it out.
Do you care to share, the types of vegetables and how to grow them.

All4good:
Make sure you fix the bag tags visibly .

If you can look around and buy stickers with "London" or similar on it and paste it where it is still visible after wrapping. Or place it on top of the cellophane wrap.
This is to help the cargo handlers sort out your bag, like suspect a mistake if they sight your bag with France bound bags when its mostly London stickers on your bag.
Hope that helps. I have never lost my checked in luggage despite always transiting on my trips

This is s good idea. Thanks.

Punstar:
Good day, Soknown.
I will appreciate hearing from you pls. I thank you

Hi, check your mail please.

OBYNOWEST12:
@Soknown

I will say, don't go over the required weight, so that you don't have to be moving and opening your luggage anyhow at the airport in Nigeria.
Secondly, if there is an opportunity to wrap your luggage with the cellophane wrap at the airport, use it.
Personally, I don't have any seat preference.
Dress appropriately, be weather smart.

drnoel:
Hallo, that soil doesn't look very nutritious for plants. U could have bought new soil atleast to enrich ur garden soil before planting anything new, but anyways what do I know.

Thanks, I have applied feeds/fertilizers.

BadBreathBoy:
A permanent one at that.

The fact that it is called mouth odour does not mean the odour is coming from the mouth all the time.
You need to see a Doctor, a GP or a gastroenterologist. You might need to do throat swab, a chest xray and OGD. Oesophago-gastro-duodenoscopy, and possibly see an ENT specialist.
Watch what you eat.
Drink a lot more.
Stop smoking and drinking alcohol, if applicable.

Mgbadike80:
Story for the gods, nice thread, you're a good writer.

Thanks. I still maintain, a lot of people do miss Nigeria within few months of leaving the country.

Another day.

This big bee kept coming back through out the summer.

Back in the Summer, the biggest Bumblebee I have ever seen
