“Doctors are being paid N400k per month,” Actor Wole Ojo raises alarm
E shock u abi?
This won’t gain traction
Considering that a Senior Registrar contracted and died from LASSA FEVER chasing these kinda Salaries
Needle pricks that give Health workers and Doctors Hepatitis and HIV full everywhere…
Some later develop complications from these diseases and die.
Do you know what Hazard Allowance for Doctors in Nigeria is? 32k-40k depending on your level in service. That is ~400k per year. Which amongst Lassa, Hepatitis and HIV can that treat for you in a year?
General hospitals across the country are having less and less doctors, Teaching Hosyamd other training facilities are having fewer and fewer Residents to train.
You see the lacuna being created of shortage of healthcare workers and Doctors, we will soon crash into the lowest part of that pit and it’ll take decades to get out of.
This is a National Crises that is fast becoming a National Disaster.
And guess what, It’s now a National Emergency that no one is taking their time to face.
Enough said….

A singer died from a snake bite because help came too late.
It trended.
Everyone talked.
A doctor died from Lassa fever she contracted while saving a patient.
Silence.
This is the painful truth: society often celebrates tragedy, but ignores sacrifice.
DOCTORS, PLEASE HEAR THIS:
•Be wise.
•Protect yourself.
•Use your PPE even when it’s inconvenient.
•Do not let pressure, heroism, or guilt push you into unsafe care.
•Rest when you’re exhausted.
•Draw boundaries.
•Your job will never finish.
But your life must not end in the process.
Serve with excellence, not self-destruction.
Rest well, hero

LOSS OF A HERO 🕊️ On behalf of Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman–led NARD NOC, E-NOC, NEC Members, the Crown Prince of NARD, and the entire NARDITES, we mourn with heavy hearts the tragic and untimely passing of Dr. Salome Oboyi, Senior Registrar in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH), Jos. Dr. Salome passed on Monday, 2nd February 2026, after contracting Lassa Fever from a patient under her care—a painful reminder of the daily risks doctors take while serving humanity. She did not die chasing fame. She did not die seeking applause. She died doing her job—saving lives. A selfless doctor. A devoted healer. A fallen hero. Her death is not just a personal loss to her family or an institutional loss to BHUTH; it is a collective tragedy for the Nigerian medical community and a glaring symbol of a systemic failure that continues to claim the lives of our finest minds in silence. We sincerely commiserate with the Management of Bingham University Teaching Hospital, her colleagues, friends, her grieving family, the entire NARDITES, and the Nigerian medical community at large. May her sacrifice not be forgotten. May her death not be in vain. May her story awaken a nation. Rest in perfect peace Dr. Salome Oboyi 🕊️ Your light will not fade. Dr. Abdulmajid Yahya Ibrahim NARD PSS 05:02:2026

I wanted to make my hair, saw my colleague a Nurse, I called her by her name and the next thing she shouted was Dockay... I begged her to call me by my name, some people hear Dockay and start tearing you Bill because they think you are rich. But did she listen, no, shouted Dockay again, hairstylist heard and gave me bill, I tried pricing and she said a whole Dockay ??

Everyone may be available these days,
but what made Samuel go into the bush to get David,despite his unavailability, was value.
This year, don’t just be present.
Don’t just be loud or visible.
Add value to yourself.
You will be sought after, even when you’re not in the room.

Me liking every post that has New year in it just so I can see the fireworks again😂😂😂

Hello, and welcome.
I’m Dr. Olawunmi Adenuga, a Paediatric Surgery Resident, Sexual & Reproductive Health Specialist, and Founder of Olive Virtual Clinic. I also mentor younger doctors and serve actively in my local church.
I speak. I write. I lead.
Navigating surgery residency, purpose, leadership, marriage, and motherhood is not easy, but I have learned what it means to walk with grace under intense pressure.
Today, I begin a journey that I have called a Tweethathon. 100 days of honest reflections on what i have learnt over the years and answering my most recurring questions.
Interested in life, leadership, and women thriving in demanding careers? You are in the right place.
Thank you for being here.
Exciting days ahead.
