NYSC › Re: Why Medical Doctor Corpers Are Paid Higher In Service(nysc) by thorpido(m): 7:10pm On Jun 15, 2016
Querty:
ok!!

but why are lawyers ,pharmacists, med lab scientists who spent 6years , even Engineers who spent 5 years with tedious work are not paid like dat?
Medical personnel generally who work in hospital settings while serving earn more than other corpers.There's a medical salary structure and that determines their pay.

Vickyydera:
They are paid higher because the spend more years in school, coupled with the fact that their course is very demanding.
It's not just that.They are doctors and earn their pay as doctors.There's a minimum income doctors earn in whatever capacity.

Involuntary Reflex action or passing gas, is what doctors will say.

But you and I both know the truth! They are doing it to mock us parents!! Babies are smiling happily, thinking to themselves "hoo boy, ah kept mama awake for 3 hours dis nite an' she cried in tayadness an' dada kept mumbling 'I need to sleep, work is tomorrow', ah defeat both of dem! Ah will do worse tamarru, muahahahaa!!"

Or the baby could be like "hoo boy, mama tried tu put me in da crib sayin nansense like 'you're too old to be sleeping with us, baby'. Buh ah shock her by standin' in da crib an' dancin' tirelessly till mama vex an' carry me back to big bed. Muahhaaha, her bweast izz mine foreva! Dada put pillow ova his head an' say 'Oh God, in my next life, I am NEVER having kids!' Ah win dem! So now lemme slep an' smile an' plan for dem tumarru".

Something like that.
Lol.
@Op,it's an involuntary reflex action.The facial muscles move and it happens that the ones used for smiling are the ones active then.

Stup!d sh!t like this is what puts me off marriage. Men have absolutely no respect or regard for women. How do you spend the rest of your life with someone who thinks you are an inferior human being?

What kind of lifelong torture is that?

Sorry for the unfortunate turn of events OP, I wish you happiness.
How true is the bolded?Why do some of you turn yourselves to men-haters?
Your past experiences are still not good enough reasons.

chival:
Those are not a lot different. The truth is health care in Nigeria is really poor. My dad went through something similar to the OP's narration, if not worse, and in the same hospital ironically. We eventually lost him due to negligence and wrong diagnosis, so I understand the pain the OP is going through.

Well, like we always say, may God comfort you and all those he left behind. I really wish something more could be done. We are a rather placid and complacent people and therein lies the problem.
There are good private hospitals but it will cost you some money.
It also takes away that delay trying to get things done.Honestly I felt very irritated reading the Op.Took soooooooooo long to get a scan done.Gosh

I don't get the logic of restricting ambulatory services when the one your institution has is obviously insufficient. Private hospitals also have their own issues. BTW it didn't happen to me but it could be anyone really..
I guess they came up with that policy to ensure checks and balances but you only do that in an ideal setting,not when you are short of vehicles or equipments.
Health › Re: The Death Camps Called Government Hospitals In Nigeria! How Ekene Lost His Dad by thorpido(m): 12:22pm On Jun 14, 2016
Sorry o,Op.We all have to improve as a nation and healthcare workers can do more.
There are bottlenecks that delay services in government hospitals which should be removed.A case in point is not allowing patients to be taken out without government hospital ambulance when they are not enough.
I would have advised you go to a private hospital in your situation.

Family › Re: Advice: After Two Wasted Years, I Want Divorce Now by thorpido(m):
Juzzybabe my sister.I'm pro-marriage but this one you have is just not it.Having waited this long and your hubby is still not making amends and trying to work out the marriage,I'll say you should move on.
Since the child is with you,you will raise the child all by yourself.
It's true you may not be able to deny the child meeting the father in the future but I believe the law will favour you having custody of the child.
Just get a good lawyer who will advise you.
Family › Re: Baby Daddy Refuses To See The Baby And Sign his Birth Certificate by thorpido(m): 2:05pm On Jun 13, 2016
I guess you live abroad.Go ahead and sue him for child support.He should be financially responsible in your child's life.

As per trying to get an explanation for his behaviour,you may not get a reasonable one.There are men who develop cold feet the moment they hear,'I've missed my period'.Some will show up after some time and others just turn their backs forever.

*I can't emphasise it enough.Single girls,learn to take responsibility for your life-sexual life especially.That a man says he loves you and even wants to start a family with you is not good enough reason to remove your 'burglary proof'.He could change his mind at any moment and then you start to hear,'men are devils'.
Get families involved most especially when the relationship has marriage on the table.Visit them and be part of the family.Don't just be their son's visitor!
I encourage pre-marital counselling too.It helps put a proper foundation.

Don't stress yourself Op,trying to get him involved with his son.When your son is of age and asks for his father,just tell him he left,simple.Sons have a way of looking for their dads.Make something out of your life.Build your career and increase your earning power.Take care of your son and raise him well.
I don't know how it's done where you are but in Naija,the father doesn't need to be present or sign any paper to have his name on the birth certificate.

The devil knows how to use some men.Can't understand where this urge comes from.Why don't you marry if you feel lonely instead of having sexual urges towards your daughter.
The daughter should be separated from the father as the solution.

Erm...getting pregnant for your boyfriend is not your solution.When the boyfriend says he's not ready for a baby,then your life will be at a cross road.

thank you @ thorpido
Pls what kind of food can he take and not take,
Because according to the doctors they said no raw sugar
Not just raw sugar but sugar related foods.He must avoid soft drinks,ice cream and the like.
They usually give diabetics a diet menu at the hospital and I'm sure your nephew should get one(or request for it).Try to also work with a dietician to manage his health.

Health › Re: Juvenile Diabetes by thorpido(m): 11:28am On Jun 12, 2016
Ukavwe:
I was in school when i got a call that a nephew who is only 6 years, is in the hospital,and the doctor diagnosed his illness as type 2 diabetic.
After 3 weeks in 4 different hospital his condition is now stable,and it was a private hospital in sapele that could do it in the 4 hospital he was taking to, but than my nephew will have to go through daily pain if he want to stay alive, because according to the doctors he need to go through glucose test (to check sugar level ) 2 to 4 times a day like a lab rat, the test is done by picturing his fingers to get blood. After knowing the sugar level a certain amount of insulin injection is now administer to the child this is a daily process the child and mother need to go through.
Question to doctors, nurse and health practitioner in the house
1. Does juvenile diabetes have cure. ?
2. If no cure, after a time can the child live a normal life without insulin injection ( and drugs) ?
3. what other complication should we look out for ?
Thank
Juvenile diabetes does not have a cure(I'm a believer,so I'll say with God all things are possible).
He will have to be on either drugs or insulin injections for life.He can live a normal life and goes about daily activities like everyone.However,he will need strict monitoring of his blood glucose so there are no complications.
Complications arise from uncontrolled blood sugar.Poorly controlled diabetes can lead to kidney problems,blood related issues,fainting and sometimes death.The key is to follow strict diet and drug compliance.

Christianity Etc › Re: Please Help!! An Assistant Pastor In My Former Church Just Turned Muslim (pics) by thorpido(m):
hakimmiyya:
obviously you are acting like a drowning person who is struggling to keep afloat by holding onto whatever he could grab.Let me stress it again that Paul is not the bone of contention in this tread bit the tread is all about you people trying to condemn someone for changing is faith.

However in as much I don't want to dwell much on Paul which I feel is inconsequential here.I think I need to let you know some facts about Paul and is peganistic beliefs.

These are views of some religious scholars

Hyam Maccoby (Talmudic Scholar)

"As we have seen, the purposes of the book of Acts is to minimize the conflict between Paul and the leaders of the Jerusalem Church, James and Peter. Peter and Paul, in later Christian tradition, became twin saints, brothers in faith, and the idea that they were historically bitter opponents standing for irreconcilable religious standpoints would have been repudiated with horror. The work of the author of Acts was well done; he rescued Christianity from the imputation of being the individual creation of Paul, and instead gave it a respectable pedigree, as a doctrine with the authority of the so-called Jerusalem Church, conceived as continuous in spirit with the Pauline Gentile Church of Rome. Yet, for all his efforts, the truth of the matter is not hard to recover, if we examine the New Testament evidence with an eye to tell-tale inconsistencies and confusions, rather than with the determination to gloss over and harmonize all difficulties in the interests of an orthodox interpretation." (The Mythmaker, p. 139, Weidenfeld and Nicolson, London,

Bishop John S. Spong (Episcopal Bishop of Newark)

"Paul's words are not the Words of God. They are the words of Paul- a vast difference." (Rescuing the Bible from Fundamentalism, p. 104, Harper San Francisco, 1991)

Paul corrupted the Gospel of Jesus and replaced it, as the scholar Albert Schweitzer points out:

What is the significance for our faith and for our religious life, the fact that the Gospel of Paul is different from the Gospel of Jesus?

The attitude which Paul himself takes up towards the Gospel of Jesus is that he does not repeat it in the words of Jesus, and does not appeal to its authority.... The fateful thing is that the Greek, the Catholic, and the Protestant theologies all contain the Gospel of Paul in a form which does not continue the Gospel of Jesus, but displaces it."

(Albert Schweitzer, The Quest for the Historical Jesus)

“The Christian beliefs formulated by St. Paul are unreasonable and repugnant to the conscience of man; such beliefs cannot expect any reasonable allegiance from the advanced nations of the world as it is a religion of primitive people. The whole of modern Christian doctrines was not formulated by Jesus, but by St. Paul in his Epistle to the Romans where he laid the foundation of Modern Christian doctrines and based his exposition on the heathen practices of his day.”

(A.D. Ajijola states in his book “The Myth of the Cross”)

Paul was disguising the true face of Jesus with a hideous mask; this ‘mask’ later became known as “Christianity”. It is mysterious that Jesus was transformed into God ‘incarnate’ when Moses, his twin predecessor was not.

I have inquired into some of the fundamental doctrines of Christianity; the examination has led me to the conclusion that the dogmas of the Trinity, the Divinity of Jesus, the Divine-Sonship, the Original Sin and Atonement are neither rational nor in conformity with the teachings of Jesus. These dogmas came into being and were due to pagan influences. They show that Christianity has departed considerably from the religion of Jesus. (A.D. Ajijola states in his book “The Myth of the Cross”)

An eminent scholar of Christian history admits that the present-day Christianity is a “mask” on the face of Jesus but goes on to say that a mask worn for a long time acquires a life of its own and it has to be accepted as such. The Muslim believes in the Jesus of history and refuses to accept the “mask”. This, in a nutshell, has been the point of difference between Islam and the Church for the last fourteen hundred years.

A basic contrast between the Old Testament and the teachings of Paul reveal hundreds of contradictions. Paul established his own Church which later became the ‘Roman Catholic Church’ (sound familiar?).

James, the brother of Jesus, established the first ‘Church’ at Jerusalem (in 50 CE) before Pauline Christianity existed. It was sadly destroyed by the Pauline Church after the Jewish War (66-70 C.E.) and the Nazarenes were suppressed by the followers of Paul.

The Pauline “Christians” that exist today do not follow Christ, they should be called Paulians. The true Christians were the Nazarenes and Ebionites that no longer exist.

Paul degraded Jesus in the following verses:

Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, (Hebrews 6:1, English Standard Version)

Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, (Hebrews 6:1, 21st Century King James Version)

Paul emphasized that Christ was not perfect, hence his teachings should be discarded, because according to Paul, they are like ‘filthy and useless rags’ (Isaiah 64:6) and we must excel towards “perfection and maturity”. The deceptive editors changed the English translation of Paul’s damaging words. This outrageous statement has been softened in many other versions of the Bible:

So let us stop going over the basics of Christianity again and again. Let us go on instead and become mature in our understanding. Surely we don't need to start all over again with the importance of turning away from evil deeds and placing our faith in God. (Hebrews 5:7. New Living Translation)

We must try to become mature and start thinking about more than just the basic things we were taught about Christ. We shouldn't need to keep talking about why we ought to turn from deeds that bring death and why we ought to have faith in God. (Hebrews 5:7, Contemporary English Version)

Jesus observed the laws of the Torah, but Paul changed the Gospel, corrupting it before it reached Europe.

“Paul deviated people towards lawlessness, through his strange philosophy that, the observance of the Law motivates to sin, thus justifying his innovation regarding the abolition of the Law” (ibid, p. 42)

“…not a single human being will be made righteous in God’s sight through observance of the Law. For through the Law comes the knowledge of sin”. (Romans 3:20)

“Christ has ransomed us from the curse of the Law in as much as He became a curse for us” (Galatians 3:13)

“the Scripture has all men imprisoned under sin” (Galatians 3:22)

According to Jesus, the lawless ones will be thrown in Hell.

"So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness, and will throw them into the furnace of fire; in that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. (Matthew 13:40-42 New American Standard Bible)

"And then I will declare to them, 'I never knew you; DEPART FROM ME, YOU WHO PRACTICE LAWLESSNESS.' (Matthew 7:23, New American Standard Bible)


I ask you,are you to follow the teaching of Jesus that is in line with Abrahamic faith or that of Paul that is pagan in nature?
The so-called scholars are now your authority in condemnation of Paul?Did you think for a moment that if you consider Paul as fallible,what makes the so-called scholars infallible?
They are not because they align with what you want to believe.


We'll be going round in circles if we continue this argument.It's obvious you want to believe what you want to.

The writings of Paul you quoted and condemned as displacing that of Jesus do not in any way but a lack of understanding of scriptures is the reason why you think so.I would have explained those scriptures to you and compare with the words of Christ but you will still choose to drag it.I can see the misinterpretation done by the so-called scholar in the bolded part I quoted.

God is the Judge and on the last day we all will know the truth just as the bible says.Those who will be on the side of Jesus(Who is with God) and those who will not.We all will see that day.

God will guide you in His Light.

Are you saying the spotting has not stopped since two weeks ago?You should go back to the hospital so they can examine your wife again to be sure she's okay.
Your wife is having threatened abortion.Some women go on to keep the child till birth but for some it becomes an inevitable miscarriage.
Just go back to the hospital to be sure all is well.Be prayerful too.

Another factor could be boring sex.If you don't spice up your sex life,it could become boring.Missionary all the time
Stress could be another factor even though you say he's healthy.
Finally,how old is he?Declining libido could be a factor.

Those who convert tend to be more serious.That does not mean there are some born into Christian families who do not remain steadfast.
On the question of 'more righteous',you don't become more righteous than another in Christianity.Righteousness is a gift and everyone who receives it is made righteous.You can be more serious in faith but not more righteous.
