Last year I named our Christmas Hen “Kendrick” I thought she was a Rooster reason for that name lol it was hard watching her being killed, couldn’t stand it.
Kaeboy: I for say na Caro make you name am, as na local chick wey white. But Cindy is ok. The day we will see picture of Cindy and Mira in soup , e no go funny. Fight go happen here
blackpanda: And how many people are relying on minimum wage alone Moreso, why will u buy one bag of rice when u can use the money to cook soup, stew and lots more
If you're doing a work that takes your useful weekdays away.
dawnomike: Please tell him... Here in Nigeria where minimum wage is not minimum. Pls enlighten Op about the true meaning of minimum wage and health insurance in developed countries
Minimum wage is #30 000 and can only afford a bag of local rice
There are basically 3 reasons why Nigerian Dentists will rather do extraction than a root canal treatment and they include;
1. Cost: The average cost of an anterior teeth root canal is 22k + 35k for crowning and 28k + 35k for posterior teeth in a GOVERNMENT HOSPITAL, Private clinics should be x2 or x3 of the quoted price. For those that don’t know the meaning of crowning it’s a procedure to reenforce the tooth structure after a root canal procedure. So the question is how many persons can afford to part with over 57k to treat only one tooth when the minimum wage is 33k?? No Government Health Insurance for citizens, The so called NHIS is in shambles, the last time I checked some HMOs in NHIS don’t cover RCT. Payment for Dental care is out of pocket. Sometimes when you tell patients about the whole root canal procedure they are excited till it gets to money part, some will even be like 57k for just one tooth? Please just remove it.
2. Deteriorated Condition: The first source of help for Nigerian Dental Patients anytime they feel pain is the “Chemist” , some even go to extent of getting dental formulas, powders and concoctions (Mama Agness Dental Formula) to alleviate their pain. Pain is a symptom not a pathology, when you apply those formulas and concoction, the pain may subside but the disease process will continue. Sometimes patient delay in seeking treatment and when they eventually come the tooth is already grossly compromised and are even Retained Roots.
3. Availability of Equipments: We all know healthcare is not a priority in Nigeria. Our hospitals are in shambles and in bad conditions. I will say this without any apology, the only way to get quality medical treatment in Nigeria is via private hospitals if you can afford their fees. Government hospitals are Jokes. How many governments hospitals have OPG machines? Digital Xray machines or Even functioning dental chairs? How many Nigerians can afford to pay 90-114k per tooth in a Private Clinic to get quality dental care?
The question should be directed to the Government who have kept the citizens in perpetual poverty, with no health care insurance and has made it impossible for them to afford basic life needs.
Let me know If you think otherwise.
LUTH has better equipments. You need to explain what you mean by government hospital making it look like it's all government hospitals.
slawormiir: Damnnn niggarrrr Isoright.....grab my weed while I read comments.....
Wait o that reminds me ......my client from Canada complained about tooth ache the other day...make I just use this opportunity ask her how the matter come be....if na remove them removed the teeth
Oga Slawormiir what can I do to get #20 000 from you? I am financially down at the moment.
BabaOwen: Nah your choice bro, you can decide whether to go or not. But, if you decide not to go, you must be at alert, cause eiye fit pay you a visit for house o on that Christmas day, while you den enjoy chicken with your family
Does this sounds like Nigerians banks accounts are in trouble or all is well with Nigeria? Can we really trust the government that the borrowed funds will be available at anytime?
Wahala be like bicycle.
Many men died without revealing their account details to their families and banks are not making it any easier for it to get to NOK.
Some managers and staff have been siphoning it already.
There are accounts with millions of naira untouched for over 20 years. It clearly shows the owner is not alive or has no touch with the account again due to several factors.
If only those funds will be used to payoff the foreign debts or for investment purposes but seems most politicians care about now, what happens tomorrow can sort itself.
Abigarnics01: Thanks for this input. I reside in Benin city and the chances of getting a good job here are somewhat low. I particularly love the Western states like Ibadan and I always try to attend any worthy interviews there despite the cost. It's just so painful I haven't gotten anything yet both in the Benin and the other states I have been to but I also hopeful this year .
kaziblake It seems you like putting yourself in awkward situation. Why want to cook for a bachelor as job? After the food, I'm sure he wouldn't mind the real food in you.
