thorpido: When I cook sometimes I get questions like " why you too like suffer when you get money" suffer here means I don't go for frozen chicken which is " easier" but local.chicken which takes more time. I dont fill up my pot with all sorts of meats and fish which connotes being rich rather will feast more on healthy vegetables. I dont drink juices which is a sign of arriving drinking processed juice with every meal rather will squeeze out ugu, carrots or water melon or drink plain water. That to a lot of people is unnecessary big man suffer when God don bless you. Then the same bunch will fill you with stories of how their relative died from " strange illness " which when you hear the symptoms is neglected infection or unmanaged high blood pressure 3 Likes |

Abiolainfo:U are right. Hospitals are expensive for them to access healthcare, but when the quacks kill them or incapacitate them, they will sell or pledges their property or borrowed money to give him or her a befitting burial. What an irony. 10 days ago, a couple brought their 2yr old daughter (unknown to them that the child was dead already) for treatment and resuscitation when i was on call. This child was sick according to the father for about a week and still goes to school with it. The mother claimed the the child's illness started that same day contrary to the husbands history. The child even went to school on that fateful day. After I confirmed the child dead, the father opened up to me that the child even had convulsion 4 days earlier and was taken to a pharmacy where an injection was given to abort the seizure and was asked to go home. That they thought she was ok and will later eat well like b/4. The child's conjunctiva was paper white. that means the child may have died probably from anaemic heart failure as she has been having fever which subsides on intake of paracetamol. They claimed that they don't have money and expects me to do magic. I told them it was too late and they should try their 'pastor'. 2 Likes 1 Share |

A Gorvernor was in the church for Thanksgiving. The topic of the sermon was "repentance". . After the sermon, Pastor #Praise asked the congregation "is there anybody here that want to give his/her life to christ? Lift your hand let me pray for you". . But Nobody responded. After about three calls, The Governor mounted the alter and made a statement. "IF YOU WANT TO GIVE YOUR LIFE TO CHRIST, PLEASE LIFT YOUR HAND LET THE PASTOR PRAY FOR YOU. COS WE WANT GOOD CITIZENS IN THIS STATE." . A young boy lifted up his hand reluctantly and the Governor asked his personal assistant to give the boy $50,000. . The Governor repeated thesame statement again, And this time around................. http://www..com/ view_joke.php?id=424 continue |

raayah: Health care can never be free. It can be subsidized as govt is doing and even at that its still expensive for mist people. The subsidized health care system is why the govt hospitals are in their current state. In a situation whereby healthcare is left to market forces you would have adequate care at unaffordable costs but then you would know you are getting the best. Rock and hard place dilemma. |

armadeo: Lol. My sister actually told me about it. Then I remembrred how one woman went for DNA test and till the end believed that the child she had was hers. My sister said she gives the women some meds which causes their tummies to swell as is the case with pregnancy. She (Grandma) is in colabo with a nurse who does scan and tell the women baby is fine. Grand ma then tops the meds for big bely and sends the women home warning them not to go somewhere else( you know how women love pikin reach they just do as told so as not to spoil the meds grandma says can be spoilt by oyinbo medicines) she gives them time for visitations. Then when it is almost time for baby to be born, only God knows how mama does it( gets new babies) she calls her due patient to come for checkup. Then after check she will say the woman is on labour. She will then give meds to cause uterine contractions( labour pain) the unsuspecting woman will think she is in labour and then she will pass out( due to meds she was given cos grandma knows no baby will ever come out and she doesnt want the mothers to know this) when they wake up, she will say the mom was lucky o, she nearly died o but congrats here is baby. If mama couldnt find any baby she will say it was a still birth. All those women carrying pregnancies for 11,12,13 months and later give birth to babies should be checked. Most times it happens cos their cheating deceptive midwives could not get newborns for the mission early, so they keep decieving the women that dontvworry, labour will start soon. Baby is fine, dont govto oyinbo doctors o, they will tell you there is no baby o not all sickbess is cured in oyinbos way o. |

[quote author=Ishilove post=28488436]I stumbled on this very interesting article on Premium Times. It is a very fine piece of investigative journalism, as well as an eye opener to the lengths humans go to make dirty money and cover up 'sins'. But the Johesu pharmacist is now a consult qualified to play the doctor in all respect. They have support of the Federal government, so onward with the Johesu modified form of health delivery. Those who are complaining are simply jealous. We asked for it. |
