So its you whoz got intelligent tinz 2 say? By berating d way I type, by d way ow does it affect ur life? Watz ur bizness wif ma post? I knw wat I wrote n I c no essence in the guy's criticisms when he himself isn't in a better place 2 c wats going on.

By d way will sayn wat I wrote give u credits? Or wat do u gain spendin ur night n day to discredit meaningful comments? Guess u one of dose nl girls whuz got nufnelse to do oda dan play God when in fact ya'll av nothing.

I am assuming, from your moniker, that you're at least 24 years old.Even if you are 6 years younger, I think it is extremely puerile of you and in bad form to write this way. For crying out loud, why go all the way to type words like "discredit","meaningful",only to use banal abbreviations like "ma"and "n" for' and'?
Looks like the text of a 6 year old girl to her crush.
It is not fashionable, it is silly.
That being said:
I MAY NOT APPROVE OF WHAT YOU SAY, BUT I WILL DEFEND YOUR RIGHT TO SAY IT-VOLTAIRE.

Thank you, V.O
I had my interview today for a B1/B2 visa to attend a cousin's wedding.
I answered all questions posed to me truthfully and clearly.
However, my application was denied.
The Consular Officer was pretty much detached during the interview but I noticed he was much interested I was going for the 1st time.
He summarily denied my application(which told me little) with a blue letter and little or no verbal explanation.
While my uncle and cousin were unhappy I was denied, they still want me to come over sometimes next year.
Is there any way of finding out why I was denied?
Is the refusal likely to jeopardize my chances the 2nd time?

FP, mods.

Authorities in the Democratic Republic of Congo say two
people have died from Ebola in the country's north-west.
They are the first reported Ebola cases outside West
Africa since the outbreak there began, although it is not
clear if they are directly linked to that outbreak.
So far 1,427 people have died from the virus.
The speed and extent of the outbreak has been
"unprecedented", the World Health Organization (WHO)
says.
An estimated 2,615 people in West Africa have been
infected with Ebola since March.
There is no known cure but some affected people have
recovered after being given an experimental drug,
ZMapp. However, supplies are now exhausted.
Also on Sunday, a British health worker infected with
Ebola in Sierra Leone was flown back to the UK on an RAF
jet. It is the first confirmed case of a Briton contracting
the virus during the current outbreak.
The US has sent medical supplies to help fight the
outbreak in Liberia
Quarantine zone
Several people died in the past month after contracting
an unidentified fever in the Equateur region of the
Democratic Republic of Congo.
On Sunday, Health Minister Felix Kabange Numbi said two
of eight fever victims had tested positive for Ebola.
He told the BBC a quarantine zone would be set up in a
100-km (62-mile) radius in Boende where the cases had
been registered.
He said this marked the seventh outbreak in DRC. The
virus was first identified here in 1976 near the Ebola
River.
Mr Numbi added that further tests were being carried
out.
On Saturday, Sierra Leone parliament passed a new law
making it a criminal offence to hide Ebola patients.
Already more people have died in this outbreak of Ebola
than in any other
If approved by the president, those caught face up to two
years in prison.
The move came after the Ivory Coast closed its land
borders to prevent the spread of Ebola on to its territory.
The country has already imposed a ban on flights to and
from Sierra Leone, Liberia and Guinea.
Gabon, Senegal, Cameroon and South Africa have taken
similar measures.
The WHO says travel bans do not work, and that what is
needed is more doctors and officials to help trace those
infected with Ebola, as well as more mobile laboratories.
Last week, two US doctors were discharged from a hospital
in Liberia after being given the ZMapp drug, while three
Liberian medics are also recovering well.
Ebola is spread between humans through direct contact
with infected bloodily fluids. It is one of the world's
deadliest diseases, with up to 90% of cases resulting in
death.

JustCare: Anytime I remember this incident of April 12 1912 I feel a sudden sense of calm overwhelming me...something that really makes my soul sobber.

"Remember"?
Were you there, dude?

emaminaj:

Know what?? Throw in any flagship Android phone or any in the Apple Range and let's c huh

As long as it runs on BlackBerry OS, it is no beast

SeaGold:

Do you believe in the spiritual dimension of life aside the physical reality?

You answer will engage me further

Yes.

SeaGold:

This is a myopic sentiment. If you are an adult and independent please start monitoring your dreams cos its a manifestation of reality. I have monitored most of my dreams and it replicates in real life. What will happen to me in the near future is always revealed in a dream beforehand.

Yes most times our subconscious mind play tricks on us by repeating what we fantasies in the real world during our dream state but one need to discard the replay of our physical activities in dreams and focus on the real dream which hitherto tend to "reveal" the future to us.

Who reveals it?

Anyone who claims he can interpret dreams is a fraud, a charlatan and a deceitful person.
Dreams are subconscious manifestations of our day to day experiences, sometimes they're completely meaningless.
People dream all the time and forget it in the morning, but tend only to remember the very scary or vivid ones.
Ask yourself the number of dreams (scary or not) you have had since childhood and how many of them were significant enough to have been interpreted and have changed your life up till now.
I repeat, anyone who claims to interpret dreams is a fraud.

phibah: FOR THOSE OF YOU APPLAUDING HIM WHEN HE SACKED 16000. DOCTORS...una don see your life?.....

I am laughing in German, because the same people who supported the doctors' sack are now criticizing Jonathan.

maestroferddi: Quite true that we should be using our internal resources.


But our doctors should also shun dabbling into partisan politics.

In Germany doctors remain doctors and not tools being manipulated by opposition elements to undermine the government.


Nigerian doctors really need to sit up. It is not only Jonathan as most Nigerians would readily patronise foreign doctors were it not for cost considerations.


It is goes beyond attacking dissenting opinions...

There's only so much one can do in the absence of an enabling environment.
There are actually good private hospitals in Lagos where Mr.President can get quality care. However, quality care is expensive. Training of doctors in residency and specialty programs is expensive. Sophisticated medical equipment and procedures are expensive.
Successive governments have shown us that they don't really care about the health sector in this country, precisely because they can AFFORD to travel abroad for healthcare.
The few centres that can raise capital to build private world class hospitals are few in the country. They have to recoup their investment so they're expensive (even abroad).Nevertheless, healthy competition will invariably force down cost of healthcare. And this is why the healthcare sector should be privatized. Enough of all this JOHESU, NMA bickering.
Cuba may be classed as a developing country, but its healthcare system is to be rivaled in the world, largely due to the efforts of Castro and Che, who was a doctor.
It is unthinkable that Obama or Merkel would seek healthcare outside their countries.
Mandela was cared for in South African hospital.
Pope John Paul II in an Italian hospital.
Argentine president de Kirchener hsd surgery in an Argentine hospital.
And the list goes on and on.
Doctors and other healthcare providers cannot fund healthcare for 160 million people from their own pockets. Government is made up of people who fall sick too, and you can't eat your cake and have it.

deflover: ebola is a bio weapon so is the hiv virus.......US created it.....they have a patent to the virus.....why will someone have a patent if its not them that created it.....they have the cure of all this viruses they created.....

alot of people just talk.....i am sure they dont understand what a virus is.....and how it the DNA can be altered to make it a good virus or a bad virus

There are no GOOD viruses.
Please, show us the link to the patents taken out on HIV and Ebola.
FYI, French researchers, not American, were the first to isolate and characterize HIV/AIDS.
Actually, you're the one who does not know what viruses are. If you did, you would know HIV is a retrovirus, whose genome is RNA, not DNA.

Acidosis:

Continue.

GenBuhari: [size=28pt]Propaganda - he never had Ebola[/size]

People like you are why our scientific and technological advances are where they are now.

hotmolo: U. S. Treating der citizens with zmap while refusing to let us hav there's and calling ours a pesticide. Well atleast we know they have the cure. Am happy for the doctor.

For the umpteenth time, nanosilver is not "ours" !

jangirova:

House officers,medical officers & resident doctors are out of the system. Only the docile, free money collectors called consultants remain, and are they working? how many of them are on the field? Can this feat be attributable to them? definitely not! Are they operating their scheduled clinics in govt hospitals? those will rather be in their private clinics or gone on trips from largesse by pharmaceutical companies.
Av u heard there's a prosecution instituted by the Public against the doctors? they aren't going to recover from this strike quickly I can bet u.

What's the worst case scenario?
Jail time?
Why the prosecution?
The same public that says doctors are irrelevant?

eledacedar: Ali and simbi. Wakama and Odion and stuffs like that.
Agbo and co.....
The good old days

Obi and Nneka..Book 6

jangirova:

Oh... doctors are working right? may be in their private clinics.Listen to your health minister Chukwu express just the exact point I earlier made.If in doubt,check Vanguard newspaper of today.

"Resident doctors in both federal and state hospitals have not been working for almost 2 months now, and they gave not participated in the control of EVD , they have not played any role So even if govt had not taken any decision ,they are not working and I don't know why the suddenly the media started taking interest in them. They are not part of the success story."

Oh! now it is no longer 'Nigerian doctors' but 'Nigerian resident doctors'?

A 27-year-old woman has been set ablaze by her 30-
year-old husband of just a day after their wedding.
UK Daily Mail reports that Ivan Kuzmin, who was the new
husband of Veronica Filipova before the unfortunate
incident, poured an alcoholic content used in making
homemade Vodka, on his wife of one day.
Veronica Filippova and Ivan when the going was good
Police reported that Veronica Filippova had went in
search of her ex on the day of her wedding after her new
husband, Ivan Kuzmin, slept off at the reception venue
of their wedding due to too much alcohol. The wife
decided to taunt her new husband because he slept off on
her during their reception. This was reportedly the main
reason that has made her to go after her ex, sleeping at
his side.

However, it was reported that Veronica, whose conscience
could not withhold the wrong she committed on her
wedding night, told her new husband what happened the
previous night when he was totally drunk. The husband
was furious about what he was told and decided to pour a
high concentrated alcohol on the wife. Before the wife
could escape, he ignited a fire on her with a cigarette
lighter.

Later reports, however, showed that Ivan Kuzmin has a
criminal record of murder and attempted rape involving
an underage girl which he conspicuously hid from his new
wife. The new wife, who had a 10-year-old boy from her
previous marriage had had 80% burns on her body and
died despite frantic efforts by doctors to save her.

However, Ivan Kuzim has confessed to murder after being
arrested by police in Volgograd in southern Russia,
according to police in the district.

jangirova: In spite of the fact that our 'cocky doctors' are out of the system, we are able to record this feat . Don't be deceived by their propagandas, they have been overrated in this country especially by past govt. GEJ I guessed realised this & wants to treat their Bleep.- up.

Oh, 'foreign doctors' were imported to treat the patients?
And how many doctors were needed by the way to 'record this feat' in the whole of Nigeria?

soludo93: They said that our nano silver is a pesticide. They are congratulating us for the impact of the same drug they despised. If we Africans can look within for solutions to our challenges, the westerners are bound to depend on us for their survival.

I am getting tired of hearing this "our" nanosilver.
Nigeria didn't manufacture nanosilver.
Nanosilver was not said to be used for the patients.
Chukwu has publicly admitted that nanosilver didn't meet the requirements to be used.
Good supportive and symptomatic management was what helped the patients.

I don't blame the "pastorpreneurs".
I blame the gullible churchgoers who enable them and support their lifestyle.

well said

However your colleagues in Nigeria need to understand that a prescription order means just the same as Ordering things from a supermarket or something. It does not mean ORDERING PEOPLE.
IT REFERS TO ITEMS, CALL THEM DRUGS OR LAB TEST NOT People.

For instance writing a prescription order for drugs to a pharmacist is not the same as Ordering A PHARMACIST

Actually, most Nigerian doctors don't use or are familiar with the word 'order'.
They don't say "I'll order a CBC", rather, it is usually "I'll request for a CBC".
Laboratory forms in most Nigerian hospitals are called REQUEST forms.
In patients' case notes, PLANS are written, not ORDERS.
The notion that Nigerian doctors 'order' other healthcare professionals around when requesting for investigations is not true.

Reports are emerging of the rescue by Chadian troops of
some 85 Nigerian villagers abducted earlier this week by
suspected Boko Haram militants.
A Nigerian security official told AFP that they had
intercepted a convoy of buses transporting gunmen and
the villagers in a routine security check.
Neither the Nigerian or Chadian militaries have
confirmed the reports.
Boko Haram is accused of kidnapping hundreds of people
in the north-east of Nigeria, and neighbouring Cameroon.
The group, which wants to create an Islamic state in the
region, sparked international outcry when they abducted
more than 200 schoolgirls in April in Nigeria's remote
down of Chibok in Borno state.
Speedboat escape
Dozens of men, women and children were seized from the
remote fishing village of Doron Bag by boat across Lake
Chad on Sunday.
Eyewitnesses said 26 people were killed in the raid.
A senior Nigerian security official told the Agence
France-Presse news agency on Saturday that 85 people
abducted in the attack were had been found by Chadian
troops.
Nigeria imposed a state of emergency in Borno state last
year to deal with the Boko Haram insurgency
"The convoy being led by six Boko Haram gunmen was
stopped on the Chadian part of the border along Lake
Chad for routine checks and the huge number of people
in the convoy raised suspicion," the unnamed official
said.
The six suspects were giving conflicting information on the
hostages and their destination, he added.
Another official with the National Human Rights
Commission in Maiduguri, capital of Borno state, said
some militants had escaped on speedboats when they saw
the convoy being stopped.
He said the rescued villagers, totalling 65 men and 22
women, were still in Chadian custody but that 30 people
were still being held by the militants.
News of the raid on Doron Bag took days to emerge, due to
the remote region's poor communication links.
The militants burned down some of the houses in the
village, and took mainly women and some boys and girls, a
village elder told the BBC.
Other survivors said young men were also taken possibly to
be turned into Boko Haram fighters.
A state of emergency was declared in Borno and two other
north-eastern states last year to help the military crush
the insurgency but the militants have stepped up attacks
since then.
The schoolgirls abducted in April are thought to be held in
the vast Sambisa forest, along Nigeria's border with
Cameroon.
The group has also carried out a wave of bombings and
assassinations, including that of moderate Muslim
leaders opposed to its ideology.

donroxy: I felt so embarrased while Nigerian Doctors especially these cram and passed medical doctors keep telling me African tradomedicine is a poison simply because that is what they were brainwashed with in their medical voluminous textbooks !!


Instead of them to sit down and think and find a way to remove the toxins and increase the potentials of the herbs especially the Gbogbonise !!

NMAs will only be crying for more funds bullcrap people !!

US is waiting for the time EBOLA will spread so well that Nigeria won't be able to negotiate the quoted price for Zmapp , tis all business and time to cough out all this intervention money Naija has been receiving from US

Don't get your knickers tied up in a twist..
That's a very good point you raised there, but you should have directed this to pharmacists, laboratory scientists instead of judt doctors. Most doctors are involved in CLINICAL work, not RESEARCH. But your bias against doctors won't let you see that.
