Nigeria is in trouble

EsotericMonk:
I'm sorry for reading too much into this but there is something with APC and their candidates. Whenever they have a chance to pick a Muslim, be rest assured that the Muslim would be picked as governor.

Fayose and his deputy are both Christians
Immediate past administration in Osun had both the governor Oyinlola a Christian, his deputy a Christian. Same in Ondo.
These are governor/deputy Christian/christian tickets in PDP. Yet PDP was never tagged a Christian party.
So what's d problem with the oversensitivity of some Christians?

This thread was first created 5 months ago but didn't get any attention from the moderators.
Seeing threads depicting how inhumane doctors and other health professionals are making headlines in recent days, I believe it will be fair to let people also see reasons why some doctors especially in private hospitals seem rigid and consider money first before service though it may not be totally justifiable. This is just one of many of such scenarios and many doctors experience this.
Here is the thread created in April
https://www.nairaland.com/4439253/reason-why-private-hospitals-termed

I’ll be very brief as much as possible
This patient was rushed into the hospital 7th August, 2017 by FRSC officials unconscious as he was involved in a road traffic accident, hospital located somewhere in Osun state
Without asking for any deposit, he was accepted and management commenced immediately
The following morning, the brothers showed up and demanded referral to an hospital in Ife for convenience sake because they reside in Ife
Patient was referred and bill incurred was given for relatives to pay
Brothers pleaded that they didn’t have much on them and they’d like to drop what they had and would come balance up before the ending of the month (August)
The elder of the two introduced himself as a lecturer (PhD holder) in OAU. He was even assuring me that he works with the federal govt with regular pay unlike his brother who works with the state, so payment is no problem at all
Out of respect and trust as they related so well and politely, I told them to just sign an undertaking and state when they would bring the balance
NB: the ideal procedure was to have sent them to the hospital MD who after engaging them in discussion and considered them for undertaking would direct them to the secretary for the undertaking which required a collateral. I cut corner for them with no collateral.
I was later queried the following day when the MD found out what I did and I just tried manage the situation
Fast-forward to August ending, no show from Mr lecturer and brother, they didn’t even make any contact at all
I contacted in September and he apologized and assured he would pay few days later
He kept giving new payment dates and was defaulting. He once chatted me up on whatsapp to apologize (screenshots below)
I called sometime in December , he recognized my voice and hanged up. I then called his younger brother who was the witness on the undertaking. That one was apologizing yet talking nonsense. He said I was supposed to understand as a Yoruba man. In fact he said I was not being compassionate (I have phone call audio evidence) because they are Christians (hospital name is Islam themed). Can you imagine?
I wanted to go to the lecturer’s department in OAU and report to the HOD but I didn’t have time
I left the hospital in January but still determined to ensure these ungrateful people pay (the hospital management in fact is not aware of this money owed)
I contacted Mr debturer last month and found out they still never paid. They thought I had forgotten about the money.
I gave him 3 days ultimatum to pay and I threatened to use the signed undertaking against him
I got a call from the patient himself (now fully recovered) 2 days after the ultimatum had lapsed apologizing and promising to pay within 7 days, it’s two weeks now, no payment.
They promised to pay within 3 weeks, it’s 8 months now!!!
I won’t go to d police station because of ₦15000 balance. I can however share his story with d world to let people know why private hospitals in Nigeria are termed wicked and inhuman. It’s because of their experiences with people like this shameless and irresponsible OAU lecturer.
Mr debturer, go and pay..


In Addendum
I last contacted them in April, and they still refused to pay as at then. I don't know if they have paid now though I doubt it.
I have however decided to let them be and not to contact them again to press on the payment. However subsequently, I'll ensure patients commit themselves financially first before service is rendered.

Op should help make this thread grace the front page
Cc lalasticlacla, Seun.

Nominated for what?

Doctors should be more humane, however social media should also present how ungrateful some patients are which makes it for doctors to care.
Here is a thread of one of such scenarios crated 4 months ago but never made home page.
We should not be one sided abeg

My best meme ever still remains HILARIOUS LIFE OF A MEDICAL STUDENT
https://www.zikoko.com/list/the-hilarious-life-of-a-nigerian-medical-student/

That's what legends do
However I only feel pity for d man coz he's 67 and an old generation footballer who likely didn't earn much from football unlike these new millennia footballers
It nauseates me when I read that an actor or a footballer falls sick or is in financial trouble and people castigating the govt for neglecting a national hero.
So a teacher, doctor or any Civil servant that served the country until retirement is no hero??

Fake, concocted.

Friends with benefits coz we all know it won't lead to d altar

Which area in Ibadan?

Pls Arik airline has refused to refund me despite several visits to their office
I booked a flight with them which was not successful but I was debited and they acknowledged that the money was credited to their account.
I resolved to book another flight with the money and they assured me I would get an email containing the serial number the following day but I haven't got the mail and it's a week now.
They don't have office in Osogbo where I am now so I can't go and follow up.
I called their customer care line, they didn't pick.
Sent a mail, no reply up till now.

Which regulatory body can I report them to pls?

gypsey:
well...you may not be able to get a refund, but you can re book and fly next time with the money.

That's what they did in my case. After the treatment i received from their management, i will never ever ever fly Arik. i d rather walk from Abuja to Enugu.


Good luck!

Thanks, I've resolved to book another flight with the money and they assured me I would get an email containing the serial number the following day but I haven't got the mail and it's a week now.

Thank u Tinubu for having all these investments in Nigeria and not siphoning funds to boost other nations' economy like others do.
All politicians are thieves we knew that.

The Oyo Ogbomoso road that I know is a death trap.

I was part of the exercise in the just concluded senatorial by-election in Bauchi as a corps member.
We were paid 16500naira instead of the 17500 promised. Fair..

Our 1k balance topped today. Thanks INEC/NYSC.
Promise delivered..
