, to be a professional, belonging to a “ring fenced” profession?
But events of recent past had put a big question mark on the much touted, coveted and guarded rights and privileges of professionals especially in Nigeria. It is rather becoming glaring that some professions have been infiltrated by self servicing and heartless criminals. And the birth of “Do or Die” politics in our clime is not helping matters. Oh yes, in the struggle for power, anything can happen and many have happened.
Many lives have been wasted on the altar of professional wrangling. Some have gone simply because of professional body’s politics. There is virtually nothing, no evil that cannot be found amongst professionals and within professional bodies and organizations. Within the nidus of professionals today are many strange bedfellows with variegated selfish and self-centred interests that must be forced unto others and carried out at all cost else heavens must fall. It may not be out of point admonishing one to always be careful within the professional nest and exercise a lot of caution whenever in the midst of professional colleagues to avoiding being a victim of well planned evil.
It is also necessary to be mindful of the bigger environment where one lives and operates. All that glitters is not gold. Those you may deny yourself comfort to serve may not wish you well; the people you strive to preserve and protect their lives may want to sniff out your life for no just cause; those you treat and cure their ailments may want to see you in chronic pains; the beneficiaries of the services and solutions you provide could deliberately create tough and life suffocating problems for you. The bitter truth is that some people are not happy with you and your success – and there is nothing you can do to change the situation.
Problems are integral part of life; troubles have ways of bringing out the best in us. It pays to disagree to agree but it is purely animalistic to fight to death because of disagreement. Has killing of any form solved any problem? No, instead it creates vacuum with a feeling of emptiness and regret at the end. But why should one not be able to handle problems and resolve troubles that such could result to taking of life – a fellow human being’s life? To say the least, it is the height of wickedness to destroy another person. Whatever the reason, this route must be avoided; the killings must stop.
IGP: PLEASE STOP THE WANTON WASTING OF THE LIVES OF PHARMACISTS.
The PSN with great sense of loss and deep pain demands a stop to the gruesome murder of pharmacists in the line of duty and swift unraveling of those behind the murder of her member, Late Pharm Sunday C. Ike who was shot on the head at his practice, Suncel Pharmacy Ltd, 3rd Avenue Gwarimpa in Abuja on 19th June, 2020.
Pharm Ike met his death at his duty post, where he laboured daily against all odds, to provide pharmaceutical care to the people of that area. His is just one in the harvest of murders within 5 years. Late Pharm Austin Chukwurah (Rivers State), Pharm Ternenge Labe (Benue State) and Pharm Anthony Mgbii (Akwa Ibom State) also met their untimely deaths at the line of duty.
Community Pharmacists are frontline health care workers providing pharmaceutical care; responsible provision of essential medicines, chronic disease and drug therapy management to Nigerians in their respective communities. They strive daily to keep Nigeria safe and healthy but at the end, some criminal elements in the community they served, turned cruel and snuffed life out of them in their prime.
Could it be money that would keep a pharmacist away from his home and family at such times these evil men cash on? The answer is no, but the sense of duty. Pharmacies are supposed to offer 24hours service but for the insecurity in our country. If data were available it will be amazing how many lives that are lost because pharmacies are closed at some point in the day.
Consequent upon these, the Pharmaceutical Society of Nigeria requests the Inspector General of Police, Mohammed Adamu, to immediately take up and strengthen the investigation already initiated by the FCT Police Command as the earlier killings cited were equally incidented at the respective state police commands but no culprit has been brought to justice till date. Sir, we urge you to please find the killers of Pharm Sunday Ike and bring them to justice.
Also Pharmacists who provide over 60% of primary care in the community need to be protected if they will continue to do the good job of quality pharmaceutical care.
The IGP should as a matter of urgency instruct the state Commissioners of Police to set up special patrol/surveillance to community pharmacies to ensure the safety of Pharmacists and other health workers who have suffered immeasurable hardship in the hands of these undesirable elements.
Nigeria cannot afford the retreat of Pharmacists on the frontline especially now that the war against COVID-19 pandemic is yet to be won.

It was too small. My son cut the top off for the camera to fit and clipped to his belt. Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
The answer to this question is:

Jeff De La Rosa was able to visit evidence animal Stu. Why can't Mason visit his cats? Because they're dead. I don't see them in the system. I checked all impounds of all types from October 9-12. I see no cats matching the photos that are still alive.
Ed Boks is a horrible general manager. It is so digsusting that no one in the city government gives a **** If there is a hell, it is not in the after life it is the LAS ANIMAL SHELTER SYSTEM WITH ED BOKS AS MANAGER.
I don't understand why he gets away with this BS. I don't understand the continual influx of animals into the shelter system. The system is so broken and all they do is kill to stop the homeless animal problem. It is so not going to work. Education, outreach, and caring is the answer. ED, I guess you don't have the intelligence to do anything to fix the problem or else you are just too immoral or incompetent to hold any public office. It was a sad day when you came to LA.« Please download and install the updates!
I am studying Accounting in a university.
Many friends are woundering the reason I am going to study accounting.
I got a pure IT background.
But I wish to study a different things.
I believe studying a different subject can widen my mind.
Moreover, I have taken in an accounting system development.
Now, during the accounting course, I finally know what I was doing during that position.
Next week I am going to the 1st NASKO Conference in Toronto and I am seriously stoked!
It is going to be small and intimate, casual (Kathryn said go casual, ladies!), and I’m going to get to hang out with two of my good friends. I’ll also get to meet my intellectual crush and meet some more people along with seeing a few more again.
Just today Joe Tennis sent out an email that the NASKO Conference papers and extended abstracts are available on dLIST (9 full papers and 4 extended abstracts). Woohoo! Guess what I’ll be reading later tonight?
Roy Harris (another post coming shortly) is going to be put on hold for a week or so while I read some of these.
I really have my fingers crossed that somehow the presentation conflict between Green and Fallgren, and Abbas gets unconflicted. I wouldn’t mind attending Smiraglia’s presentation, too, but he’s a definite 3rd to the 1st place tie of Abbas and Green. “Please, please, please. Pretty please with sugar on top.” I don’t ask for much in the world; just this one thing….
Pingback: Some things read this week, 3 - 9 June 2007I'm encouraged.  Either way this plays out it's a win.  If Dan and the youth manage to effect real change within the church, LGBTQ people win because the harmful policies will change.  If the old dogs refuse to listen, more people will see the church for what it is and leave.

I just feel for Dan.  He seems so very, very caring and real about his desire to change the church, and I honestly forsee a lot of pain and heartbreak coming his way.  And yet - LGBTQ youth are getting a great advocate in him, so I hope he holds on to that.

I remember back when I was that idealistic...Artists across the world have used several surfaces for doing their painting. Canvas is probably the normally used surfaces. I’m hoping to provide a much better comprehension of canvas, which is used by artists for giving colors to their ideas.
The canvas that we find is often a fabric, that is woven very plainly, and is also of the very sturdy nature.
