This is still one of the craziest things I’ve ever seen in this show 😂😂

You will see examiners bragging and being proud that no one passed their exams. If you attempt to explain this to an outsider, they’d think you’re crazy but alas this is the reality of many people here.

Becoming a doctor in Nigeria is a scam. No, seriously. It is a huge scam. Conventional doctoring in Nigeria, at least as it is currently structured, is miserable. Sometimes I walk through teaching hospitals and look at the conditions under which some doctors live and work, and I ask myself: is this really the dream? You spend over half a decade studying one of the hardest courses in the country. You write professional examinations. You lose sleep. You sacrifice your youth. Then you graduate into a system that often does not reward the effort you put in. I have seen doctors living in hostels that are not fit for human dignity. Somehow, this has become normalized. Somehow, people are expected to look at this life and aspire to it. You grow up wanting to become "Chief this" or "Professor that." Then you look closely at the lifestyle and ask yourself a dangerous question: Is this actually success, or have we merely decorated suffering? This is where I depart from conventional thinking. If I become a doctor and I intend to—I do not intend to be a conventional doctor. I refuse to accept a system where years of training, expertise, and sacrifice are rewarded with dependence on salaries that people have to beg to be paid. I simply cannot. Perhaps some people can. I cannot. One thing I have never understood is why self-promotion is frowned upon among doctors. Why? In a system that does not adequately reward the people who sustain it, why should those same people not build personal brands, networks, businesses, and professional identities outside the hospital walls? Why should they not? I intend to promote myself. I intend to build networks. I intend to create economic relationships with people outside the hospital. I intend to create value outside the four walls of medicine. I do not want to be in a position where my entire livelihood depends on one salary from one institution. That model does not appeal to me. Every day, doctors interact with people who need their knowledge, expertise, and services. It seems strange to me that many professionals are trained extensively in medicine but very little in wealth creation, branding, entrepreneurship, or economic independence. To me, wisdom is not only knowing medicine. Wisdom is also understanding systems. And one thing I have learned very early is this: if a system does not reward you adequately, then you must build structures around yourself that do. This is not greed. This is survival. Perhaps other people see medicine differently. Perhaps they are satisfied with the traditional path. That is their choice. But for me, medicine will be a profession, not a prison. I want to be an excellent doctor. I also want to be free.

This sums up everything I feel about this profession. You need to have a life outside the hospital walls Ive not met a single consultant that makes me think “I want that for myself” And yet, most of us seem to be heading down the exact same road.

If you agree to stay with your husband after being aware of his extra-marital relationships just know that Hepatitis is real HIV is real HPV is real Make sure you get your vaccines and PrEP. Good luck to everyone involved.

We are never going to tackle insecurity in this country.

A retired major general died of “hypertension” while in captivity in some forest in Katsina State. This country hurts my soul. And my heart. It hurts everything in me.

1st day of O&G as a house officer. Consultant asked a question to the house officers in morning review and non of us could answer it All the registrars and SRs were asked to stand up and hold their ears because apparently they’re not teaching us anything.

WHO recommends 1 doctor per 600 patients. India has 1 per 1,500. Cuba has 1 per 150. Guess Nigeria’s?

Before they filmed a single scene of Dark, the two people who made it already knew how the whole story ended, three seasons away. They wrote the ending first and spent 26 episodes building back to it. Nothing feels like filler because almost nothing was invented along the way. The show even runs on a single number: 33. Every time it jumps to a new year, it jumps exactly 33, from 1953 to 1986 to 2019 to 2052. The writers set that clock in the first hour and never broke it. One man, Baran bo Odar, directed all 26 episodes, and his partner Jantje Friese has a writing credit on every one. A single director and one lead writer across a whole show is rare at this scale, and a big reason it never loses its grip. The story follows 72 characters across six different time periods. The same character is often played by three different actors at three different ages, picked to look like one face aging over a lifetime. Names get passed down the family tree on purpose, so you are never quite sure who is whose parent. The creators always knew where it had to end. They just kept moving the pieces until it got there. The same care went into the look. The crew spent six months in the forests near Berlin through winter, in real cold and near-constant rain, so the cast stayed wet and shivering for most of it. They shot on the Alexa 65, a top-end movie camera usually saved for big films, because it can capture near-total darkness and still hold detail in the shadows, so the picture stays pitch black without becoming a muddy smear. The cave scenes were filmed in an actual cave in central Germany. In a town painted almost entirely grey, a single yellow raincoat became the one spot of real color your eye could lock onto in any era. The final season went further still. To build a mirror version of the world, the crew flipped every set, so staircases curved the other way and doors moved to the opposite wall, and they reprinted the books on the shelves so the spines read backward. Then they had the actors do it all left-handed, reaching for handles with the wrong hand, which the director admitted was strange and clumsy to shoot. They wrapped just before the pandemic and dropped the finale on June 27, 2020, the exact day the world ends inside the story. The reviews matched the ambition. Season two sits at a perfect 100 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, the first and third at 90 and 97, and the series holds an 8.7 out of 10 on IMDb from more than half a million people. That unbroken wall of green in the screenshot comes from one choice made before filming began: lock the ending first, then build all 26 episodes to reach it.

The only thing that separates so many of us from that level we ought to be, is our MINDSET.

Before the rest of you caught up with the happenings in this country. A senator and a member of the house of Representatives were killed by terrorists while visiting victims of terrorism in Plateau State. Nothing happened.

I left also, and I also know people in Nigeria who are doing extremely well. Their products and services are moving in high volumes because their customers are wealthy wholesalers or elites with money. Some have received government patronage or are moving in the right circles, so are rolling in it. But some of them also rode on their parents' names or friends to get scholarships or placement into their positions, or a family business that was set up when times were better, or were born or married into money. Many had families who paid for their graduate schools, housing, weddings and more. Many were selectively awarded opportunities due to their relationships. Most were able to access capital in the millions to multiply. But if you are starting as an ordinary person with no connections and no family name or capital, no special friends in high places, no leg up for housing, employment, contracts, or postgrad courses, and no way to serve a politician or senior civil servant to access contracts and 'seats', then abroad gives you fairer opportunities. Yes, you may start off at the bottom, and you will have to deal with heavy bills yourself instead of family contributing or helping you to stay in a family-owned accommodation. But if you have a good investment strategy, you can build an honest portfolio and retire without ever having to have favours done or "gifts" given by your parents' friends, family members, or the ranks of the political elite. You can unlock more capital through your own savings and equity from your assets, and you can build a team around you within a year of focussed work. I suppose those from a collectivist culture may find an individualist culture not conducive to peace of mind, and that's fair enough. It's just good to keep things in perspective about whether opportunities are equally accessible to everyone. Personally, I prefer being a nobody and not being favoured by anyone or accessing things due to relationships. I don't want anyone handing me a huge sum because of what I can do for them outside my usual work. If you want, pay for my legitimate services at the rates I set. If I go the extra mile for you, it's because that's the sort of person I am, not because I want your tips or favours. And I certainly don't want to have to pretend I like you and shower you with false praises just for you to keep favouring me. I don't want to feel pressured to also help my friends and dependents through my position. Moreover, I don't feel safe with classist and feudal mentalities around me.

When I used to live in Saudi, I would stay outside as late as 3am in the morning and my Parents didn’t really mind but the story is different here in nigeria Gulf countries are one of the safest countries you can live in.

The average Nigerian doesn’t like Nigerian doctors and probably thinks you don’t know your job. The average Nigerian will throw you under the bus if things go sideways and go about their lives I want every Nigerian doctor to put themselves first Patients are not your friends
