Nigeria is being exploited by UK,USA and Canada by poaching their best healthcare workers.

They let Nigeria train them(for relatively free) only for them to hire them for peanuts into their own system.

How does the USA,UK and Canada prevent this happening to them ?

They saddle all graduates with huge loans.......give or take 350 thousand dollars.

So that when you graduate, you will be forced to work in the USA, if you desire to pay back that loan.

If you decide to go work somewhere else, you will never be able to pay back that loan.(They devalue the currency of the home country)

If Nigerian government wants to stop this, they need to saddle all those courses that are high brain-drain prone with huge loans.

Give every doctor a 10 million Naira loan, payable only to his tuition and then give them a job where 1 million Naira is forgiven every year or 500k every year. Only award them certificates as doctors after the loans are paid in full or on completion of a mandatory 10 years of working in a government hospital. Salaries have to be competitive and realistic. No doctor should earn less than a senator.

This will deter a lot of health workers from going abroad the next day after graduating.

Sir, don't tell me you believe the brain drain lies peddled by this government.

Do you know that to get a medical Job in federal teaching hospital today, you need to know someone that knows someone??

Has our government ever released an advert in our hospitals and no one applied before?


A lot of we health workers are underemployed in these country. Do you know that OAUTHC retrenched a lot of healthcare workers last year on the ground of Job racketeering? The government said they can't afford to pay all the employed workers and has to let some of them go.

A permanent staff in the bank earns 300k and above while a medical officer receives slightly above 200k.

We don't have a sincere government, and there is nothing like brain drain in Nigeria. It's just an excuse to cover up for their inadequacies.

..

Can Nigeria ever achieve greatness? Over the last 10 years, we've been plagued by an annual Tomato Ebola outbreak in May and June, yet the government has failed to implement lasting solutions. I'm convinced that, come this time next year, the same minister will come out here and reiterate this same thing.

We can't keep voting the same set of people and expect another result.

I understand you're considering applying for the H1B visa and are weighing your options between finance and tech. It's a significant decision, and I empathize with the uncertainty you may be feeling. From my experience, the H1B visa process can be challenging, with no guarantees of selection due to the limited number of visas available each year and intense competition. While both finance and tech sectors offer opportunities, it's essential to consider the current demand and trends in each field, as well as your own skills and preferences. Additionally, exploring alternative pathways like the EB visa route or pursuing further studies could provide more stability and options for your future. Whatever path you choose, I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors!"

Toranaga is a master strategist, he knows how to use people and explore people's reservation and respect for em, why is Ochiba hell bent on revenging em, her story with Mariko isn't clear enough.
In a flip side is Ochiba trying to push Toranaga to war to seek revenge against ishido and other clan leaders and keep herself safe? idk but I'm sure the next episode is nothing but full blown war

But I am currently unable to comprehend how the alliance between the regents and Lady ochiba come to be.

The plot of the story was that Toranga was for the heir. He stands in his , how did the regents now instantly allied with the heir.

Something didn't add up

Is your PhD ission fully funded.

The mode of operation of the church matters. In Churches like MFM, The apostolic faith, and Deeper life, almost all the choir can play an instrument or two. This style makes every member valuable and dispensable. The reason most churches pay there instrumentalists is because they desire a play but doesn't have capable of doing such. Hence, they attract this guys with money to perform.

Every worker in the vineyard contributes equally in the sight of God. Therefore, each of them should be treated equally. If you're to pay instrumentalists, then pay ushers, cleaners and co. But the reality is these are unskilled, therefore dispensable.

Belizas:
Dear All,
Pls I need a guide on how to go about everything without making mistakes .
- I applied for an associate degree program and the school has sent form 1-20,
What is the first thing to do

Somatohadidas:




After ission (and funding for those who need it), and you've decided where you want to go:

✅ Request for your i-20 from your school. Some give one or both of soft/hard copy, and you might pay shipping fee for hardcopy in some schools ($50 - $100). You'll usually supply details of port page, ability to cover cost like funding letter or bank statement, etc. for this.

✅ Get the i-20. I'll suggest you request the e-copy even if the school wants to send hardcopy, so that you can use the details to book your visa interview while awaiting the hard copy. A4 printed of i-20 is acceptable at embassy. After i-20, the next 3 items can be in any order.

✅ Start filling your DS-160 form online at https://ceac.state.gov/genniv/ . You can use this video as a guide when filling it: https://www.facebook.com/287980197932222/videos/318718789713853

✅ Create a CGI profile at https://www.ustraveldocs.com/ng/ng-niv-appointmentschedule.asp and pay for your visa fee, costs #67,200 with GT Bank, and book your date at your desired location if an available one shows.

✅ Pay Sevis fee. You can create a coupon at fmjfee.com but someone in the US has to pay it for you. It costs $350, but there might be a $10 processing fee and people's dollar rates differ. So expect a wide range when converted. To be safe, the payment must be confirmed at least 72 hours prior to your interview.

✅ Prepare for your interview and ace it.✌�

✅ Book your flight, typical ranges can cost from 250k - 400k for cheapest ones depending on location, or go for the more expensive and comfortable ones.

Good luck.�

I quiet agreed, I suggest that the requirements for basic medical training be lowered to allow the country fill the widening gaps in the sector.

I quite disagree with you sir. The outcry of healthcare worker shortage is an illusion. Kindly ask this question, is there any government or institution that d for a position and doesn't have applicants.

The last interview they did in UCH Ibadan, over a thousand health personnel applied for different positions, but only a handful of them were appointed.


There are underemployed/unemployed. nurses/Community health workers that are readily available for the the Job. But the government don't want to employ.

Today was mass denial, literally everyone including myself was denied in Lagos.

Here is my transcript with the Fat Hairy Man

Dike: Good morning officer
VO: (Smiling) Good morning and please can I have your I-20
Dike: Here you go officer
VO: Why did you choose this course
Dike: I chose this course because my country has a problem with crime and with criminology I get to know why this crimes are being created, I get to know how they are being committed and the most important thing I get to how to tackle it as I am very ionate about the safety of my country
VO: Why did you choose this school?
Dike: I chose this school because it has a criminal research center and with this, it will expose how criminal minds work to me as I will be taught with criminal cases and this will also prepare me to tackle criminal and crimes in the real world and most importantly my beloved country
VO: What’s your post graduate plan
Dike: To come back home to work with one of the top two agencies fighting crime which are Efcc and Dss (I told this man the full acronym ooo) he nodded as if say 🥹🥹🥹
VO: Then he asked me who will be sponsoring and what does he do
Dike: I said my dad and after he asked what he does for a living, I answered and said he owns a company na so this man ask how many workers, just to say something which I told I am wrong I told him 1k workers!! He screamed 1000 na so baba say sorry bla bla

I felt bad but then you need to see how everyone was denied today, during my time there I didn’t see white paper to anyone and all windows were active

What are you doing currently??
Where did you major in??
Your intent of fighting crime comes from where?

And a thousand workers 😁

Snow1:
Run away from these agencies, look for a direct hire and make sure your pay off/ break Off contract is less or equal to $20k

Please I need your input on this.
Let assume an agency sponsors your IETLS,NCLEX...., What happens when you are no longer interested in the US but the Canada or Australia??

The wave in health industry now is JAPA, and been a nurse has been one of the easiest way to do that. Ladies and gentlemen, if you're in the journey of getting educated in private schools outside Nigeria within west Africa pls do you findings properly. The best way to do this is , WES, which is a global education evaluation agency. Kindly ask them if they evaluate credentials from your intended institution. The report you get should guide you in making the right decision.

Debbieeeeeee:

I did GT but the material was given to me by someone who did the IELTS academic version.

Pls can you also send it to me [email protected]

Pls who has recent IETLS speaking makkars

Debbieeeeeee:

Send me an email I’ll share a material for writing that I have with you via WhatsApp.

Pls I won't mind having access to the materials also.

Writing has been a tough nut to crack for me.

Academic writing to be precise

christobabee:
Please WES is not evaluating my school certificate/ transcript, so I opted for IEE but since have been checking schools, most schools requested for WES. what can I do?

What reasons do they cite for not accepting to evaluate your transcript??

misterditto:


Thanks so much, I appreciate your input. Yeah I still have valid BRP and in the real sense health and safety is relevant/relatable to project management. I had 9years experience before I went for MSc in Health and Safety with some Intl certifications in the same field even working in the same field in UK. MSc result is not yet out reason why I cant apply for PhD now. I am open to guide//advice and been tutor of the journey.

If the unavailability of your MSc result is why you're not applying for a PhD then you're quite misinformed. You don't need a MSc to apply for a PhD in US. Check out Direct PhD.

Only one episode of Citadel left to air

Yet this show has yet to make an impact. It's one of the most expensive shows ever made. But it has almost 0 online engagement...wow

This has to be a money laundering scheme

the show is nothing to write home about.

Nothing intriguing, watered plot with a lot of unnecessary flash back

optm:

Good day Dr,

I am currently struggling with my vision now, I don't see things afar and I tend to strain my eye muscles to focus on images afar. Affecting me later on in the day, making my head banging. I struggle using PC daily that I have to place it nearer to my eyes before I can make adequate use of it.


I have visited a D.O sometimes ago and I have a glass. But it's not helping matters. Glasses tend to give me more pain In the eyes and when I complained when I got the glass earlier on, the Dr said I will get use to the glass and I will feel the pain no more.

chibertha:
Really
Please educate me
I am an engineer and we are awarded PhD in the specific of engineering we choose
For example I am going for PhD in Civil Engineering next year

Please � I like to learn teach me

PharmD is a Bachelor degree in pharmacy. Most health care programs are now having the doctor appellate to there Bachelor's degree.
(PharmD, MLS.D, O.D).

To the fellow checking out on PhD pharmacy, conventions like that are not easily identified in the US. Though I have seen one or two cases that they exist but it is rare.

Check out your for your area of research interests, e.g pharmaceutical Microbiology ( Ecoli mutation reducing drug efficacy) , pharmacology ( Adverse drug reactions in synergistic use of antibiotics).

Be on the lookout for research areas, then check out the programs domiciled in that institution then determine anyone that's a right fit for you as a pharmacist.

Afodot0022:
Pls what simple medical test can one do to ascertain if the kidney is in good condition

Simple test is Urinalysis.

But encapsulating is Renal Function Test.

Urine analysis: To test for the presence of abnormal constituents of urine.

Blood Test ( Electrolyte, Urea and Creatinine): This answers the questions like is the kidney filtering the necessary waste products, level of hydration, acidity.

Clearance: The glomerular (Kidney)Filtration rate. You make use of urine samples for extrapilating this.

Thanks

Ngoziezel:
Thank you so much...from your clear explanations,you are a doctor.
I am currently not pregnant...I gave birth 7 months ago.
I am a breastfeeding mother.
Although,before my pregnancy,I used to notice that during my menstruation,I am always tired and even feel dizzy atimes...but they fade away after 1 or 2 weeks of my menstruation.
And like I stated in my write up too...I delivered my 2 children through CS within a period of 2 years.

My major concern in the result is....the Doctor said I am Iron deficient..
But my HB and HCT are within range.
Can being Iron deficient without Anemia make me tired and breathlessness on exertion?

Also please,does low MCV and MCH levels actually mean low Iron?


So sorry that I am asking so many questions at a time....and not like I don't trust what the doctor have said,just that some doctors don't like taking time to explain certain things to patients.
I actually asked the doctor if one can be Iron deficient and have normal levels of HB and HCT....he just told me to go and take the prescribed medication.

I understand that your questions are borne out of the desire from your well being.

Iron deficient here means iron deficiency anemia. A type of anemia causes as a result of decrease in ( quality) red cell production due to reduction in required iron for rbc production or loss of iron.

PCV and Hb gives quatitative analysis, while Mcv, mch, mchc gives qualitative.

PCV= percentage of RBC in whole blood.

Red Blood Cell Count = This is the number of RBC in the body( 4.1 to 5.1 million per cu. mm


The Red cell indices are calculated figures, MCV = PCV/ RBC count, MCHC= Hb/PC, MCH= Hb/RBC count.

Your MCV is low because, you have More RBC count, likewise MCH being High RBC count.

Note : Iron deficiency anemia rbc are microcytic,( very small RBC).

The case is this, you have more RBC count ( more red blood cell is being produced as a compensatory mechanism, to make up for the small size iron deficient).

Anemia means reduce hb for 02 transport. I have explained why a man needs blood previously, and what we happen when we lacks it in sufficient quality and quantity for our daily task( 02,co2 removal, nutrient affected) all this can culminate to different symptoms like tiredness, lack of breath e.t.c

I think the above explanation should suffice. Going further means, spewing technical jargons which I don't think is necessary or can be comprehended . This is why no Dr on consultation will take his time to be explaining each parameters.

As I said earlier on, trust the Dr or go to another, but he has done a good Job.

I am not a Dr, but a Medical Laboratory Scientists.

Ngoziezel:
Dear Doctors in the house,
I have been experiencing this extreme tiredness and heart palpitations, cold feets and fast breathing on exertion.I feel better when I lie down.
I have equally gone for virtually all the tests recommended by my doctor,ranging from ECG,ECHO,KIDNEY FUNCTION, THYROID FUNCTION, MALARIA,FASTING BLOOD SUGAR,TYPHOID, URINE CULTURE Tests and they all came out fine.

Recently a doctor asked me to go for Full blood count...my HB came out 13g/dL,HCT came out 41.9%.
MCV came out 70.3 fL.(normal range is 80 -100)
MCH came out 22.7 pg(Normal range is 27.0 - 34.0).
MCHC came out 32.3g/dL.

The doctor pounted out that my MCV and MCH were low and gave me Astyfer capsule to take for 7 days.

Note: I am a lady of 32 years old,
2 children (delivered the both of them through CS)
The youngest is around 7 months .

1) I really want to know what those low levels of MCV and MCH means.
2) Could they have been the reason for my symptoms?
3) Will the Astyfer really help me and for how long do I really need to take the Astyfer capsule?

Note: No fever of any sort.

MCV, MCH, and MCHC are what we call red blood cell indices. They are integral part of full blood count, which are used to classify anemia.

As the popular saying, blood is life. But why is blood life?? This is due to its functions( O2, co2, nutrient transportation). So they serve as cariers for these life essential substances. So if they are deficit, all the body functions will be on hold.


Blood = Heme + Globin.

Heme is made up of 4 iron.

So literally, iron, folic acid and vitB12 are needed for blood production. Any physiological( pregnancy, menstruation)or pathological( hookworm infections, hemorrhage) changes that will alter there availability will lead to impaired blood formation , thereby loss of blood. ( Anemia)
Now to your questions.

1. As I said mcv, mch are red cell indices, mcv is mean corpuscular volume. As the name implies mean vol of rbc. Let's just say how big or small red cells are.
Mch is amount of hemoglobin ( iron) in an average red cell.

Though definitive diagnosis can't be made using just the indices,but we have microcytic hypocromic(iron deficiency) anemia. Which I believe your Dr suspected, reason for the iron supplement he recommended.

2.) Am sure your Dr has clerked you, but the anemia should be as a result of something.
Are you pregnant?? Parasitic infection?? menstruating??. A vegetarian??. All this cause iron loss in the body.

3.) The drug will do a good Job, because your doc has done a good Job. If you don't have confidence in him, kindly consult another one.
