Having seen the aforementioned webpage.......delighted to oblige :-)

not too old so that I'm good for nothing and people need to look aftr me perpetually but old enough to see my children achieve all that they put their mind to..

tpbm...


What is your greatest achievement and disappointment??

What were you trying to tell me??

Quuenzy are you trying to anger me??

I'm old and old fashioned......

The man always pays unless the woman initiates the date and says AT THE TIME OF ASKING that she is taking care of it NOT when it is time to pay...

Come on guys....lets be men!!

Sorry...

PERSONAL

Come Over My Mother Understands Nothing In Code And Trusts Everybody

Most romantic thing a lady ever did for me was to fly from yankee on new years day and wake me up first thing on new years morning as a surprise byh knocking on my door.....

Best ever.....I really miss her............

Where is her awebsite anyways??

Unecessary

There are a few politicians here i.e. refusing to answer the question....

The question is what would you do if FORCED to do one of the three..... I neither smoke/drink nor currently womanise ( will admit to past indiscretions :-)

My order of preference (if forced):

Womanising
Drinking - can avoid getting drunk
Smoking - Can't see how I could cope with this as its the most disgusting habit known to man!!

NB: BTW I work in an STD clinic and believe me there are a LOT of STDs in the UK. People making out like rabbits!!!!!

I'm extremely proud to be Nigerian!!

I've been all over the world and even if you gave me the choice, I would still remain Nigerian. We are a special people blseed with talent, humour and a wonderful heritage...no one else is like us and could ever be like us!! I even tell the oyi9nbos when asked that I'm nigerian and happen to have their dirty pali which is merely for convenience.

I'm even more proud to be an Egba man...a true son of the soil gangan!!

We have many problems as a country which are undeniable I still would rather be a Nigerian than be from anywhere else!!

I wish someone would tell me who Tafa Balogun is!!

Pier..........

Queen......

Trying to liven it up

Who is who??

I'm thinking does there always have to be conflict?? (see above)

Sorry forgot universities........


Kings College London - 1993

University of Southampton - 1997

BBHS still the greatest though :-)

Primary School - Model Primary School Sokoto

Secondary School - Federal Govt College Sokoto - 1982

Nulli secundus is indeed and always will be second to none!!!

I wish I could go back and tell my first love how much she really meant to me!!

Testes.....hahahaha

Have we gone a little off base??

Medic

True but I'm talking about a basic level of knowledge that one would expect from any doctor and if found in a doctor in the UK would be unacceptable.

Having said that, there are some doctors trained in the UK who come out with some statements and conclusions that would lead you to question whether they were indeed doctors at all but the proportion that induce such feeling among UK graduates in less than among Nigerian doctors I've come across.

Interesting thread....

Let me just add that as a doctor trained in the UK, I've met some Nigerian trained doctors and soon after they come over they are simply shocking!! They really are not well served by the system back home. Of course, when they come over they eventually adapt and some do very well but the state of their knowledge when they come over is close to non-existent!!!

Hello all,

Very interesting thread especially sa I'm currently a doctor working in the UK with HIV patients.

I have to say that this thread has really surprised me as I can't believe some of the statements being made!!

As has been said earlier HIV is very real. 5% is the official estimate in Nigeria but is likely to be more than that with more accurate recording. Even here in London I can certainly tell you that there are A LOT of HIV positive nigerians!!! I see them every day. Medication is wonderful and is allowing people to live normal lives (see Magic johnson). I've seen many patients who ar alive 20-25yrs after diagnosis and who are doing very well.

I would like to make a comment about what seems to be stereotyping people coming from sub-saharan africa as all having HIV. Well I'm sorry but this is just common sense and no conspiracy theory needs to be conjured up. As doctors we work on the premise that common things are common. So if you see someone from a country of high incidence (5% meets that definition) and they are in hospital with a suggestive illness then you have to assume HIV till proven otherwise. EVERYBODY attending a sexual health clinic is offered an HIV test simply because sexually transmitted infections and HIV go hand in hand. Believe me having worked in South Africa anyone coming to hospital is assumed to have HIV until they have a blood test saying that they are not. It is no different to someone coming back from a malaria endemic country with a temperature. Everyone assumes malaria until proven otherwise. Its not prejudice but common sense!!

Everyone, trust no one, always use protection and if you are not sure whether you have been at risk or not then go and get a test done. Its scary but its better than waiting till you get ill when you may or may not recover. Oh, and by the way, at risk means if you have EVER had unprotected sex:-)
