Trump knows he will lose the next election. What he is doing now is to dig the grave for the democrats before he leaves. So that Republicans will return in future. I can see that the firefighting of all the mess created by Trump will be enough to occupy the democrat president. Such leader will not have the slightest chance to move forward for 8 years.

Democrats are not educated

Except that he doesn't plan taking them home.

If Trump had just put the money he inherited in an index fund and go to sleep, he would have been 5 times richer. He is a moronic business man.

Smartypant:


Early Sunday morning, I refuse to waste my time responding to kids that don't know JACK. But pls tell us where is Trump from this list of the top 20 Real Estate developers in NY. Since you claimed he's the biggest in the heart of NY. Some of you kids are just too gullible and believe any trash without doing any research on you own. I don't just believe anything I see or read, I try to apply logical reasoning and a bit of research. Trump is not even barely worth a Billion, how in hell is he the biggest in NY. Bloomberg is worth about 60 BILLION DOLLARS. Trump is struggling to stay in the BIllionares club. That's one of the reasons why he's so desperate to hide his tax records. The whole world will see him for the FRAUD that he is.
BTW he inherited a lot from his father FRED TRUMP that you claimed you don't know his name. Without him, TRUMP will be just another lying ass SOB blow joe on the street of NY.

All these misinformed and confused kids on NL, hun. Hatred for America? Desperately wishing to travel there?
Son, let me tell you something - The first time I traveled from Lagos to JFK on Nigerian Airways, the ticket cost was only N300. I'm more than sure that you were not even then. I have been traveling the world with a US passport before you were born.
Filing for bankruptcy is always because you failed in whatever you are doing. Have you ever heard of a business that is making money and have made good business decisions filling for bankruptcy? Pls give us just one example.
Talking about Arabs, how is Trumps best friend right now? Is it not MBS, the ruler of Saudi Arabia? The troops that he's removing from Germany might more than likely end up in Saudi Arabia. The more you look, the less you see.
Son, you sound like someone who just took Physics 101 and now thinks that they are qualified to speak as a Physicist. You are simply repeating the type of trash that you will hear on Fox entertainment channel.
Go back to learn world Geopolitics/affairs and come back 20 years from now to speak as a more informed person. Right now, you are just spitting out all that you have heard from watching too much Fox news.

This is a great development.

No one should waste time responding to anyone not okay with this development. Medical doctors are ordinary civil servants just like pharmacists and nurses and so on. They are employees just like these other professionals, and as employees it borders on arrogance and hubris to seek to determine the career direction and height of other members of other professionals. And as for those medics weeping that things are much better outside the country than in the country for them, they should take their leave and go. We will not miss them. Let us see whether they can do over there half of the messed up things they do here in Nigeria. News flash: it's not only doctors that things are better for abroad. As a private tutor in London almost then ten years ago I was earning as much as £30 per hour: in Nigeria you don't earn that even as a doctor. Neither is it only medical doctors that are leaving the country in droves. Engineers are leaving. Nurses are leaving. Pharmacists are leaving.... even jobless people are. So, you should imbibe some decorum and spare us the self-pity.

If anyone is not okay with the way things are, take your leave. Fact: we have more than ten medical doctors are willing and ready to fill up your post. In fact, at the moment we have too many jobless doctors going around doing private practice that fetch them about 50k per month. So, you intent on leaving I join you in hoping that your visa be granted soon, it will allow more grateful and younger medical doctors to have access to the job you do not appreciate.

This country has produced about 25,000 pharmacists since inception. Out of this, only about 14,000 pharmacists are currently registered and working in Nigeria. About 11,000 having either left the country or have decided to not practice as pharmacist. Out of the 14,000 registered pharmacists rendering services to over 180 million Nigerians, more than half of them are working in Lagos alone. (In fact, the whole 14,000 are not enough to service Lagos state.) What this means is that we have less than 7,000 pharmacists servicing all other states in Nigeria. A simple arithmetic will give you the ratio of population to a pharmacist in Nigeria (about 13,000 to 1 pharmacist); let us now compare this with the idea ratio. In other words, pharmacists are in a lot shorter supply than medical doctors. And we indeed have better reason to leave this country than many others. But many of us have decided to return and build this country, if we do not build our own country, no one will do it for us. And we will not stay in this country and watch and accommodate some arrogant persons seeking to decide how much we can achieve in our own profession.

The summary of the message is this: If anyone, medical doctor or pharmacist or carpenter, is not satisfied with the situation of things in Nigeria and is not ready and willing to endure and build this country with all other patient and well-meaning Nigerians, such individual should take his leave and stop constituting nuisance for everyone here. Take your certificates and licenses and go abroad. No one will prevent you from leaving. But in this Nigeria that we have here, every group of professionals has the right and must strife towards increasing specialization in order to bring the best out of each profession. A servant has no authority to stop the rising of another.

PS: Please, those reacting should not come up with the s.illy argument asking me to go and take a JAMB form to study medicine. Some of us hate medicine as a course because we find it too limiting especially for those greatly endowed in physical sciences.

aribisala0:
The only way a doctor can maintain an edge over others is to upgrade.MBBS alone won't do it .You must have SKILLS that other do not have.

Treating chronic conditions like epilepsy, asthma , High BP, are areas that increasingly other professional will compete for.
Same for acute conditions like malaria. With modern technology this will only intensify

Yes there is a turf war goin on. The way to fight is is not by bluff and bullying but to convince the market.
I do not see much future for the MBBS only cadre because many others can do what they do cheaper.

dokxavi:

I'm afraid if you're a pharmacist, try not be a consultant, you'll be disgraced by a first year medical student as you can't read and comprehend.

You, my friend, are evidence of the no standards in Nigeria,no appraisal, no comprehension,limited education but know-it-all.

Patient information: (posted on the wall of hospital pharmacy) - PLEASE GET THE DOCTORS' PRESCRIPTION.

It is never going to change.Doctors' prescription.

aribisala0:


In your world beng important depends on putting other down.

This is not about me.

Let those who want to be consultants be it is not your problem or business

aribisala0:

do they have higher standards than veterinary medicine or pharmacy?

Please do not make me laugh.
EVERY profession is different from others just like the elements on the Periodic Table.
If there are regulatiions about titles Profession A will decide for itself without input from busybodies. So what has this got to do with doctors?

There are no standards in Nigeria, No regulation, No CPD , No appraisal , No audit of individual practice, No peer review, No patient feedback mechanism.

aribisala0:
You are communicating to yourself alone

aribisala0:


This is emotional nonsense.
You claim to be a doctor but it is irrelevant.
Can you discuss the issue here which is that pharmacists will be called consultants and it is not for doctors to interfere.

Whether I sell rat poison or agbo Jedi is not relevant

focus on issue and try to subdue your ego

aribisala0:

I am not accusing you , You are making assumptions about me even here again

You said I should go to medical school.That is an assumption,

Stop talking about me and focus on the issue which is that pharmacists or any other group can call themsellves consultants and it is nothing to do wth doctors. The term CONSULTANT is not a registered trade mark of doctors.

There is nothing being done about CPD . NOTHING and without that there is no regulation. Regulation is about quality control that means CPD which is not monitored

Does MBBS give a doctor the authority to perform surgery under anaesthesia without specialist oversight?

Yes or No?

aribisala0:

This is nonsense.

Doctors have no say in what others must do to be called what they like.Absolutely no say whatsoever.

"Abysmal archic knowledge" Where does that come from Must you put others down?

Are we talking about West African and National PG that the examination papers are routinely leaked?

doctors should leave pharmacists and others alone and mind their business. They have no say in how consultancy titles are given.
In the UK that are procedue and portfolio based routes to specialism for doctors who cannot pass postgraduate exams. That is not the business of pharmacists either.


Let everyone mind their business

aribisala0:

Even if there is no postgraduate qualification it does not matter one jot as long as one has risen to the top of his profession whether it be security IT Estate Management etc within the organizationn then such a person is eligible to be considered as CEO in that orgnization. The idea that one profession is superior to othere is outdated.What we have are areas of competence. Pharmacists or drivers want to be called consultants that is no business of doctors

aribisala0:


Getting a qualification is not what being regulated means.


Regulation of doctors in Nigeria is not the fucnton of colleges but the MDCN. You do not understand what regulation is because you have not experienced it.

Regulation involves CPD, It involves appraisal and it involves 360 degree feedback from these other professionals that Nigeria doctors so much like to put down
Fitness to practise is not about "qualifications". It is about updating knowledge, rsponsible and ethical behaviour and capacity for team working that is MEASURED annually ,recorded and appraised


You have an obvious psychological need to put people down so you can feel better.

transparent and pathetic.

Do not make assumptions.

The only person you know here is yourself

Eldorado14:


docxavi...let me educate you.
pharmacists have a postgraduate programme..WEST AFRICA POSTGRADUATE COLLEGE OF PHARMACIST...the programme is for a minimum of five years. When one is through with the programme,one is awarded a fellow in his chosen field of specialty. Stop being ignorant!! I thought docs are wide readers but urs is a pathetic one.

PharmAlfred:


Thank you for your question. This is why we should talk less, ask more questions and learn more. First, your observation about your pharmacist colleague is not true. He must have done a whole a lot in a space of 5-7years to earn that fellowship.

There are different specialties in the college. Your pharmacist colleague could have done the administrative programme. Pharmacists who work in the hospital, will do the clinical programme. And within the clinical programme, there are sub -specialties. So you see, not every consultant pharmacist will work in the hospital. My friend, just be a bit more open minded, you will be dazed by the quality of work some pharmacists are doing in our hospitals.

Again, to become a consultant means to know more in a given field or specialty. It requires acquiring advanced skills and competence. So anybody can be a consultant.
The argument becomes flawed when physicians lay claim to the sole right of being called consultants.

You can ask any other questions or concerns that you may have.

aribisala0:


Actually the word consultant should not apply to anyone collecting a salary . It is a misnomer.
Originally in the UK they used to be self employed but after 1948 were absorbed ito the NHS and retaiined the title but it is not correct

People on salaries strictly speaking are not consultants and you do not find that term among doctors commonly in the US it does not diminish them
