@VIC_kutz This is so sad. Same script, same pattern yet we have a government that keeps looking away😪

Tragically, violence has become a regular occurrence in Gwer West. Yesterday, the Mbpa Council Ward in the Gwer West Local Government Area of Benue State was attacked by suspected herders, claiming the lives of many men and women.

Let us clarify something here, This is for the sake of public education. 1. Paying 119k consultation fee to see a gynaecologist is *not* ridiculous. This is a very fair charge to see a specialist in a private clinic setting. 2. It takes about 15years of medial school and postgraduate education to become a gynaecologist. You can’t see a specialist and pay peanuts. It costs time, money and a lot of work to become a gynaecologist. 3. Many of you gladly pay 500k for wig, you have no problems with 150k for bridal makeup that nobody notices, which will wash away in 3hours and you can even casually pay 50k to tie gele at wedding but you draw the line at paying less than 120k to see a gynaecologist for your healthcare. If you can spend premium money on ephemeral things like wig and makeup, pls kindly prioritise your health, dear Nigerians. 4. The only way you can see a specialist and pay cheap or pay nothing is if the service is subsidised or funded by the government or by NGOs. This is why government hospitals are cheaper, or sometimes free, compared to private hospitals. You may pay nothing as an end user but someone else is actually covering the true costs of that service. 5. This takes me to my final point: Marie Stopes in Nigeria is a non-profit NGO that is heavily funded by donor grants and international organisations who subsidise the actual costs to make it cheap for you the end user. It is a bad argument to compare Marie Stopes (funded by NGO money) to a private clinic gynaecologist that relies solely on being run by patient’s fees. The actual cost in Marie Stopes will be far higher if not for the donations of good people and organisations who ensure the doctors are well paid and you won’t need to pay high for treatments or consultation. I know life is tough in Nigeria and people find accessing good healthcare very expensive for the average person, however this is not the gynaecologists fault. This is the governments fault who have impoverished us, made us poor, failed to maintain the public hospitals and who have made people’s earnings so little that they can’t afford healthcare. I hope this explanation is helpful.

@flakkyBanky @Allezamani 👀

@Allezamani He and pawpaw are not dwarfs, they have a condition called cretinism or congenital hypothyroidism. Dwarfs have a distinctive head shape with short limbs

There’s a big difference between dwarfism and stunted growth.

Easter Sunday in Nigeria 💔

These terrorists made a promise to attack churches during the Easter period. Today, Sunday, they have kept that promise by attacking and killing several people in Benue and Kaduna. This is too frequent to be dismissed as anything other than a targeted campaign against Christians

Honestly, I thought the nails were driven into the palms. I was shocked to learn they were actually driven into the wrists.

🚨JUST IN: Jos & Recent killings in the North I love how Dr Paul Enenche blows hot on Nigeria’s issues 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

@abakar_chindo @THEORIGIN03 @Alex_Barbir @Waspapping_ That aside, say terrorist today have misunderstood that context, what are the scholars and your likes doing to help or condemn people who have misinterpreted that instruction. This people are harming others in the name of Allah.

@abakar_chindo @THEORIGIN03 @Alex_Barbir @Waspapping_ Hi Abakar, I appreciate your response however it sounds a bit contradictory to what’s stated. It clearly says fight those who do not believe in Allah/ or accept your religion. It doesn’t seem like the group that is to be fought is hostile at all. Could you clarify

There’s no reason a foreigner should come into Nigeria, preach disunity and incite division among us, and still be walking free without being arrested by security agencies. Alex Babir should be arrested before he throws Nigeria into further chaos.

@abakar_chindo @THEORIGIN03 @Alex_Barbir @Waspapping_ Thank you Abakar, though I’m still trying to fully grasp what context that was revealed. I, however think it’s not okay in any context for a recommendation be made for people to fight others based on disbelief.

Elections are coming. The least we deserve is a government that truly cares, not one that suggests those who carry out such acts should be given second chances. 💔 Pray for Jos, please!

And yet, it was here that these terrorist came, not to steal, but to kill. Last week it was a suburb in the FCT. Today it’s Jos. They are leaving villages and coming into cities. We need to speak up and act. Until everyone is safe, no one is safe.

The images coming out of Jos tonight are beyond disturbing. I watched a video of a woman holding d lifeless body of her son, whispering broken words under her breath. That kind of pain so deep that it takes away the ability to scream or cry and leaves only slow, unclear words

You will never be the wealthiest in your state, not in Nigeria, not in Africa, not in this world, if you don't read this! And listen, it is not your fault. Calm down before you start dragging my ‘okrika’ shirt. This is not a curse (me sef come from humble background), I simply wish to highlight something you might be overlooking. I know you've consumed those 1,000 books by American billionaires, you even used your last penny to buy Otedola's book, you've gone through Tony Robbins seminars on YouTube while sprinkling two drops of ‘e go better one day’. I know you’ve attended conferences everywhere, you've starved your distractions, networked like your life depends on it (spoiler: it actually does like mähhddd), invested in courses that promise "financial freedom", and consistently showed up even on days when your spirit is screaming to give up. But what if I told you the game was already rigged before you even started? The Aliko Dangote you want to become had an uncle named Alhaji Dantata Alhassan. A whole family line of affluence handed him a beginning crafted in silver. Femi Otedola’s daddy (Michael Otedola) transitioned from politics to become the governor of Lagos. And you’ll be the one to shout ‘school na scam when you are literally the punchline. Mr Eazi’s uncle borrowed him 19 million naira to go and invest. And he failed ooo. Do you understand? He had the financial cushion to try and fail. Davido was sent abroad to study and ended up pursuing music. His dad brought him back, and Babcock University created an entirely new department of music just for him before his father eventually backed his musical career. The truth is that you were built like a snail, whereas they were engineered like horses to start the race at the finish line. So even if you embarked on your journeys and struggles yesterday, you will always arrive after them. I acknowledge that you are not lazy; eyes cannot simply see the weight of the shell you carry. That shell symbolizes the absence of generational wealth and influential connections. It is a system engineered to favor those who are already favoured. I was listening to Dr. Cosmas Maduka when he said that the cheapest car they have at Coscharis Group is around 32 million naira, and if an average person walks in requesting to pay in installments over two weeks, they will not give it to you. But see the crazy twist. He mentioned that if Dangote himself called them and asked them to let you have a Rolls Royce valued at 1.4 billion naira, they would allow you to drive it away. And you think name, you think foundations, do not count? 😹 Connections are important like maaaahddd. Hard work will carry you far, yes, but not to the height you see in your dreams. This thing is everywhere ooo... I was conducting my personal research on matching into a USA residency as an International Medical Grad(IMG). Let's say you wanted a prestigious specialty like Orthopaedic Surgery, Neurosurgery, Plastic Surgery etc. The slots available to you are so extraordinarily competitive that your chances are nearly zero (the probability of an IMG matching in Neurological Surgery in 2022 was 16 out of 36,277, or 0.044105%). Then I looked up Harvard Medical School's match rate for 2024. Out of their 176 inducted doctors, 155 got matched into their choiced residency. Dem no born me well to think of schooling in Harvard Medical school with my papa money 📷, but what is obvious is just breathing the air at Harvard gives you a head start the size of the Atlantic Ocean… This is not a post to make you give up. It is a post to make you wise up. But here is where I get aggressive: shred the sham celebration! You are not lazy my guy, you’ve just been outpaced by those born at the finish line. The snail doesn’t win by racing the horse. No, the snail wins by forming alliances, by being so strategic that it gets to ride on the horse’s back. Were there outliers? Absolutely. Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie clawed her way from Enugu to global shelves without a dynasty. But even she got lifts: scholarships, mentors who saw the fire in her and offered petrol. No one rises in isolation; that myth of being ‘’self-made’’ is what keeps you scrambling in the dark. You will never, ever accomplish it alone. You may not be Dangote? That’s okay and beautiful 🤭. Your goal should be to become the ‘Dantata’ of your own lineage. You are the one who must break the cycle. You serve as the foundation and your duty is to work ten times harder and smarter, not to compete with the horse, but to create a stable where your generation can start side by side with it. You may not reach the destination you dream of but you can be the one who charts the course, who lays the first stone, who ensures that those who come after you will never know the unbearable burden of starting from scratch. That legacy is a currency richer than naira, more powerful than a name.

@theolugbemi Hello Chief , I am not able to DM

If you’re writing MSRA this February and you need help with SJTs, I’m more than happy to help. Let’s goer you that 600!

@flyestkaren @QueenEfexii This isn’t a wise thing to say. The person you are referring to here is licensed to practice medicine at advanced levels in at least 2 countries. with a simple check, you should have known. Every opinion matters & should be respected, even if it was that of a student.

@QueenEfexii You first graduate so your opinion can matter

What I have come to understand is most health practitioners want to protect their profession,yet they want to be seen as Drs,but they attack any Dr who calls out scope creep,they want to silence Drs. Simple; Be proud of what you studied, if you hate it , then go to med school.
