If you want to research a culture that’s not yours it’s important to do it deeply and respectfully.

This is also a big problem. -The NHS urgently needs more Black donors, especially for the Ro blood subtype critical for sickle cell patients. But current malaria screening rules are quietly locking out thousands of eligible Black African donors (including possibly this guy). -Grew up in Nigeria or Ghana? You'll face a malaria antibody test before donating. Test positive(which most will, for potentially decades after leaving their home countries) land you're deferred. Yet that positive result almost certainly reflects old immune memory, not active infection or any REAL risk. -The policy doesn't distinguish between someone who arrived from Lagos last month and someone who left 20 years ago as a child and never returned. Both will get deferred. That's a blunt instrument that disproportionately hits exactly the donor communities the NHS needs most. –What we need is not impossible if they truly care about the groups affected are: Quantitative antibody levels rather than binary positive/negative results, formal weighting for time since leaving endemic areas, PCR testing for actual parasites rather than using antibodies as a proxy, and above ALL a long overdue evidence-based policy review. Sickle cell patients, overwhelmingly Black,nare running short of the specific blood they need. The policy review can't keep being delayed.

I’ve followed @VusiThembekwayo my beloved brother for many years on many platforms and I’ve never been ashamed to call him a brother. One of the brightest minds you’ll find around the world & I’m proud he is African. Well said my brother!!

Layi has finished me 😂 God please let Arsenal win this league, make una no use me do banter fodder.

It is with great pride that I present to you the very first Nigerian Adire chess board. Each one sells for a million naira(700 dollars). It’s a limited collection of just 100 pieces. 50% of proceeds goes towards charity and I will personally hand deliver to the first 20 people.

I like that Prof goes to all these platforms and tells them that their methods are futile and they will never work. I have my gripe with prof because of his affiliations but if he can tell the whole clergy and political class that they can never make it. I’ll manage it.

Whatever one thinks of her politics, I do not think there is any British politician who has improved over the last 4-5 years in terms of messaging, confidence, clarity, as much as KB has.

The new all Electric C-class!!! Okay. I can get behind this. Seems I will drop my i4 agenda for now. Once we are done with the EQ, the GLC and C-class saloon might be the next step.

Quick summary for doctors thinking of Japa: So many options, but every country has its own barriers. Here’s a simple breakdown of the BARRIERS. USA 🇺🇸 Visa restrictions + high cost of exams (USMLE journey isn’t cheap) UK 🇬🇧 IMG prioritisation bill + limited training/employment slots Canada 🇨🇦 Getting PR is the main hurdle + matching into residency can be tough Germany 🇩🇪 Language barrier. You need at least B2 German UAE/Middle East 🌍 Limited job opportunities/competition for roles Australia 🇦🇺 High exam costs, distance barrie (and no, the “crawling animals will kill you” myth is overblown 😄) Bottom line: every path has friction. Once you understand the barrier, you can plan around it. Clarity > confusion. Plan your route and move.

First Nigerian to play chess at the Louvre 🇫🇷-The world’s most prestigious museum.

Everybody don drop think piece on shoemaker. At the end of the day, winner show.

20 years ago, I was studying abroad at the @UnivofGh. Like spaceflight, it was a positive, life-changing, perspective-deepening experience. Seeing the beauty of Ghana from space reminds me of the amazing people I met there and how in exploring the world, we learn about ourselves.

Upcoming: Ireland to recognise PLAB 2 as equivalent to PRES 3. It is looking like June-July may be the game changer for GMC registered doctors. Finally!!! 🔥

If you knew what Nigerian doctors earn monthly, you’d wonder why any of them still go to work.

Honoured and genuinely excited to be elected Fellow of the @FPH. This recognition of a career journey through paediatrics, #TB and vaccine epidemiology, national & global health security, and #Diagnostics is heartwarming. Grateful to all who have contributed to my career, and to my sponsors Profs @AfolabiLanfol and @TogunToyin. More to do. #PublicHealth

📌📌📌 From 1st April 2026 Plab 1 will increase from £273 to £283 Plab 2 will increase from £998 to £1036 #Afroplab

On articulation 🔥🔥🔥

@whales_medics Oh okay. Sure

@Tolu_Health I want them to drop it. Prior to the ongoing war, the prediction was that BOE will reduce the rate but here we are

Adupe for now
