@MedixpX We want progress. Give us accreditation #savefutambbs

Day 3 of us telling FUTA to give us accreditation. Why haven't we gotten accreditation? Give us an official memo from MDCN and FUTA!! Signed and stamped with the official date!! #savefutambbs #accreditfutambbs

An MBBS student of FUTA sent me this. I would like to call the attention of everyone involved and those who could also lend their voices @NiMSA_Nigeria, @nationalnma, @FutaBro, @omo_Akinbile, @Nigerian_Doctor, @aproko_doctor __________________________________________ WHAT IS HAPPENING TO FUTA MBBS STUDENTS? I have tried to keep quiet for a long time. I kept telling myself things would improve. I kept hoping the school would fix this. But at this point, keeping quiet feels irresponsible. This is about the MBBS programme at Federal University of Technology Akure — and it is urgent. 5 YEARS… AND STILL IN 300 LEVEL The pioneer MBBS students were admitted in 2021 and matriculated in 2022. Today — five years later — they are still stuck in 300 level pre-clinical. Five years. Their mates in that same university are preparing for graduation this year. These students don’t even know when they will move to clinicals. Imagine watching everyone you started with move forward while your life is on pause. WHY ARE THEY STUCK? Medical students cannot move to clinical training without accreditation from the Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria (MDCN). But after all these years, accreditation has still not happened. Right now: • There are five different sets in the programme • Three entire sets are stuck in 300 level • Nobody is moving forward How do you start a medical programme and still not be ready for accreditation years later? PARENTS ARE NOW BEING ASKED TO FUND ACCREDITATION Parents were asked to contribute money for a mock accreditation. Yes — parents are now being asked to fund something that should have been planned before this programme even began. And since then? • No clear updates. • No clear timeline. • No visible progress. Just promises. And prayers. REAL LIVES ARE ON HOLD This is not just a “delay.” This is: • Years of youth slipping away • Families pouring money into uncertainty • Students living with anxiety and frustration • Dreams being paused indefinitely Five years of a young person’s life cannot be treated like this. THE QUESTIONS NO ONE IS ANSWERING Students and parents deserve to know: 1. When exactly is MDCN accreditation coming? 2. What is the official timeline? 3. What happens if this delay continues? 4. How will these students graduate on time? 5. When is the first MB (1st professional exam) holding? Silence is not an answer. THIS IS A PLEA FOR ACTION We are asking the leadership of FUTA to: • Communicate transparently • Give a clear accreditation timeline • Provide real contingency plans • Prioritise the students already in the programme These students have waited long enough. They deserve progress. They deserve clarity. They deserve accountability. Please share. 🙏🏽 Awareness matters.

There comes a point where silence is no longer strength, but compromise. Where waiting quietly stops being patience and starts costing us our future. This is that point. We have waited. We have trusted. #savefutambbs

Day 2 of fighting to save their future and the future of Nigeria's healthcare system. The doctor‑to‑patient ratio in this country is already dangerously low. Yet here we are, watching a group of young Nigerians who willingly chose to dedicate their lives to healing others, being left to rot by the very system that needs them. No clarity. No reassurance. No direction from the school management or the concerned bodies. That kind of silence is not just frustrating, it is cruel. These students have done their part. They gained admission. They showed up. They studied. They trusted the system. But now, through no fault of their own, they are stuck. This is not just about academic delay. It is about mental health. It is about watching their mates move forward while they remain in one place. It is about asking simple, fair questions and receiving nothing but silence. FUTA, until when? They are not wrong to be tired. They are not wrong to speak up. Please, keep fighting. Keep demanding. Nigerians can see your struggle, even if the authorities pretend not to. #SaveFUTAMBBS #AccreditationNow #NoMoreDelay #FiveYearsIsEnough

The 7th cranial nerve which pierces Parotid gland but doesn’t supply it is same like "I love you but as a friend"

You saw it, You knew it, You felt it— But you said nothing. Not because you could not, But because it was easier not to. Now remember this— History does not just remember the fighters… It remembers the spectators too. #Savefutambbs

While our peers advance, we remain in limbo,no clinical rotations, no major professional exams, and no clear timeline. This isn’t just a delay; it’s lives on hold, dreams deferred, and families carrying the burden. We need answers. We need action. #savefutambbs

Day 2 of fighting to save our future. Silence from management continues — no clarity, no reassurance, no direction. Our lives have been put on hold. Our mental health is deteriorating. FUTA, until when? #SaveFUTAMBBS #AccreditationNow #NoMoreDelay #FiveYearsIsEnough

It’s mad how Arne Slot made the reigning champions lose 17 games. 17 Games. Seventeen.

I would to have a conversation with Arne Slot, just the two of us, locked somewhere with walls that are soundproof.

💔💔💔

So pathetic....

26% ball possession… 💀

@FabrizioRomano What a stupid line up by Arne slot. Absolutely shamble. Let him just leave the club. Shameful. PSG will humiliate you today. I only pity the poor fans.
