It’s a new day

I'm looking for 20 students who scored all A's in 2023/2024 WAEC exams. Their results will have to be 100% genuine and reflection of their exceptional intelligence. An organisation reached-out to me today and is interested in sponsoring the students application to United World Colleges. It's an intensive 2 year program only available for exceptionally smart students. It's a rigorous program. Once they successfully go through the program, they can gain full scholarships to Ivy League schools like Harvard, MIT, Stanford etc. The program is done in 18 different countries ranging from US, Canada, Singapore etc. So the successful students will move to any of these countries for the 2 year program. Kindly share so the right people may see it. PS: Students who wrote waec in miracle centers should not bother reaching out.

Our patients are seekers of healing and healing comes in many form such as listening and providing comfort. #Healer

Re-inventing the wheel, re-integrating myself into the community, “skipped curriculum” #Faith #resiliency

Last week, I visited Morgan State University's nursing program to learn how they are leading in addressing disparities in the nursing workforce. We must do more to support young people who want to go into medicine to improve care for our Black and Brown communities.

I am finally using my God given gift left hand #Echo

ACP strongly opposes efforts that would prevent medical schools from putting into place policies seeking to advance DEI. Research shows that a diverse physician workforce is critical to advancing equity and understanding in health care: ow.ly/KikH50R7QAr

Thought for the day 🤔 Adding a medical school lecture on the impact of racism on health does NOT require you to delete a lecture on Biochemistry. Teaching physicians that living in a racist world increases one's risk of stroke, heart attack is NOT "teaching discrimination."
