I hope doctors can hear the very loud silence about the murdered medical doctor and see that Nigeria doesn't give a flying hoot about you?
I hope senior doctors can take a cue from this and stop administering younger doctors to train/work as a calling rather than as a profession?

If you’ve lost a parent, you should totally encourage your surviving parent to remarry -If they want to.
Because you will go on and find love and happiness and very likely build a new family of your own and they’ll be left alone.
And they deserve love and happiness too.

Nigeria is apathetic to her doctors.
There’s a long list of doctors who’ve been killed/harmed without any justice/reparations.
Those ones who continue to work do so under insane/inhuman conditions.
If you want to leave, don’t think twice. Sit those exams as soon as you can.

This man only feels guilt because she died.
If she was still alive and sick he would still be avoidant and continue flirting with his colleague. He never truly loved her. He was only there when it was convenient. I wish that woman prioritized herself and went back to England.
Swipe: Oh Lord! I read this and felt so many things, so so many things. I asked if I could call him and I did. He wept like a wounded animal and all he kept saying was that he needed a do over. I told him there’s no do over, at least on this matter.

There’s a way people celebrate widowed parents for not remarrying that makes me cringe.
As though remarrying shows a lack of commitment.
It’s okay if they don’t want to, but don’t be the reason your widowed parent decides not to remarry.

Look. There's context to nakedness.
Nakedness in a clinical setting is non sexual.
Sensitive body parts are seen/touched when we do breast/GUS exams, pass catheters and do surgeries and I can tell you for free that nobody (that's not sick) gets turned on by that.

She may have a point, actually. While weight is central to a lot of health conditions, a lot of times, fat people complain about symptoms to their doctors and they just flippantly get told to "lose weight" without their complaint being properly investigated or adreassed.

People need to know that even if the boy was paid "enough", (I'd be interested in knowing what metric would be used to measure that tho), the whole transaction is still a crime.
Boy was paid 270k naira, got to the UK and the doctors told him about possible complications that might arise from a kidney transplant (success and failure)
Its not even up to $500. “He played his cards well”
Are you fucking kidding me? Do you know of kidney dialysis weekly?

Me: *runs into a non-doctor friend*
Friend: *stretches arms for a hug*
Me: about to hug them, but suddenly remembering “ah wait first lemme drop my doctor status”
My secondary school classmate was the delivery man that delivered pizza to me yesterday. I was so happy to see him, I dropped my “ Dr status”, hugged him, we talked and laughed, shared his story, gave him some money and promised to keep in touch. God blesses me to bless others 🙏🏾

Oh please shut up. You people want to associate with mental illness so bad yet you don’t have the patience to understand and not stigmatize people around you who actually deal with these symptoms you’re trying to feel cool with. Go and find somewhere to sit abeg

No Patient's life is worth more than your own. Always remember this. The patients/relatives you're cordial with right now will be the first to physically (or otherwise) throw you under the bus when things go south for no fault of yours.

This needs to be said: Don't shame women for deciding to give up promising careers/ prospects to focus on parenting. Leaving everything else to raise your kids is very rewarding.
The problem is when women have to do this against their will.
Also. Normalise men doing this too.

And if you’re Nigerian you can’t be a hundred percent sure you don’t have family history of mental illness, because they would rather die than tell you.
So just assume you have a family history of mental illness and stay far away from psychoactive substances.
I am begging you guys, if you know you are genetically predisposed to mental illness (AKA una get small craze for family).
Please stay far away from drugs, especially psychedelics. That high you enter, one day you may not come out of it.
Rehab is cost.

The Christian shoemaker does his duty not by putting little crosses on shoes, but by making good shoes -Martin Luther.
Coming up with a churchy tagline at work doesn’t show piety, it shows lack of expertise and that’s frankly not God’s fault.

I’m sorry but I won’t let this one slide
1. Mental illness is not your go to excuse for criminal/immoral/evil Behaviour
2. Stop disrespecting actual mentally ill people.
Run me through the symptomatology of schiz since you’re now talking about “patterns”.
From everything on this Precious Gaza, I believe she might truly have schizophrenia.
The patterns , everything she's been doing. The lies, her relationship, I just watched a video and walahi, it is not normal
Like she's clinically insane. A liar or thief won't go that extent

Free yourself to pursue a career outside medicine. Don't stay behind after your work hours to be the "good doctor" or do anything heroic.
Protect yourself. If abandoning a Patient's cpr because the relatives are getting aggressive is what you have to do, do it.

If a patient had died as a result of unconfirmed/not verified medical "negligence", the entire social media would be up in flames with hash tags and threads and think pieces.
But a doctor was violently murdered and its crickets, radio silence. A shame.

So we want to forget how pastor Adeboye and CAN leaders led Christians to protest peacefully against insecurity earlier this year ba?
He didnt simply mobilize Christians to protest but he led the protest. But he's a bad person for praying and putting it on his twitter? Okay.

At this point, I think every church should consider adding a "Christian conduct on social media" class to their foundation bible/believers' teachings.
The conduct of professing Christians on Twitter leaves a lot to be desired tbh, and it's getting increasingly sad to observe

I like the perspective and depth that pastor Poju's messages give to adversity. If anyone teaches well about handling crisis well, it's pastor Poju.
If you're seeing shege or you've recently come back from seeing shege, you should consume a lot of pastor Poju's content.

I don’t think anybody has sat down to really think about how damaging medical training in Nigeria is to your psyche as a person. 4 plus years of being bullied and infantilized by your superiors damages you in unimaginable ways.
All jokes aside, Medical school shredded my self-esteem and confidence
Went from an intelligent 16 year old who wanted to take over the world to a tired adult who cringes at the very thought of residency training cos it’ll be more of the same

Epidural anaesthesia for childbirth isn't medical misogyny. It's simply the physiology.
There's no other way to achieve that kind of anaesthesia.
Epidural is not only used for childbirth. It's used to achieve anaesthesia for surgeries and for post op pain management.

So it is songs glorifying sex,alcoholism and other forms of debauchery that will give you inspiration for your social media campaign? This is a very somehow take.
I remember few years ago during undergrad we were asked to do a social media campaign for a fictitious company
Those days, I only read Christian books, listened to Christian audio, watched Christian movies & went t church
So I came up with this churchy tagline for the company💀

The problem is how you people are unidirectional in your thinking. The only thing that should raise concern about the appropriateness of sharing that video is the privacy of the woman in question.

This is very silly because if you apply this logic to presidency, we have over 500 indigenous languages in Nigeria and all you need to govern is English.
Plus if we’re keeping it a buck while Lagos is indigenously Yoruba, it’s not home to only Yoruba people so you have no point.
