When you master the trade you love, some pay starts to feel undeserved - the effort feels too small for the reward.
That’s you reaping all that you’ve sown to be a master.
Enjoy.
I am sitted in a mosque in federal housing low cost. Old men encircling their tutor learning the Qur'an.
Lovely!.. This is what i want to be doing in my 50s. Hopefully i would have amass enough halalically before then so i can retire peacefully.
My wife's brilliance remains her most lethal weapon against me - especially when it comes to emptying my account. True to form, she just sent me her outstanding first-semester result with the caption: "How are you planning to reward this academic assault?" Any recommendations? 🤔
I’ve missed hearing @ProfOsinbajo speak 😎
Hear him today, at launch of @GarShehu’s book in Abuja, recounting something Ganduje told him,about how being a DEPUTY in Nigerian politics is MOST DIFFICULT JOB anyone could ever have
HE @atiku was in the room also, bearing witness 😀
Kowa na claiming superiority
Ba mai son daukan imperiority
Harkan dole sai an sa equality
Ba maganar wata ta fi capacity
Kowacce da na ta specificity
A yi wa kowa base on availability
Don samun zama na tranquility
In ba haka ba za a sami instability
A lahira a rasa acceptability
Dear Public Health Graduate,
We battled through epidemiology formulas, survived biostats, decoded WHO guidelines, and analysed policies inside out…
And now you want to settle for handing out flyers or doing data entry for unpaid “awareness campaigns”? Abi running to some low level courses. Endless complaints about Public Health on social media, like its the worst course to study in the UK.
How??
Let’s be real…
You didn’t endure endless group projects, sleepless nights over health systems essays, and critique research papers line by line, just to beg for roles that don’t even require your degree.
You think your problem is the course, maybe but more of the problem is that you have left your public health brain. It's time to think outside the box. Expanding on real world problems and solutions is the key.
The world still need your knowledge, just not in the traditional, passive way you imagined.
Real examples? Let’s go:
Your coursemate is now designing health communication campaigns for global brands.
They don’t “sensitize communities.” They influence behaviour at scale.
One MPH grad used data analysis and public health to land a role at a health tech startup, building dashboards that drive real-time decisions.
That quiet guy from your class? He’s now a health policy analyst advising ministers in East Africa.
Another person blended public health with content strategy and now making educational health videos that reach millions.
But we?
We're still searching for “entry-level NGO job, any location.” And complaining across social media with regrets that cannot help our situation.
Wake up!
Public Health is your foundation.
The world is your intervention zone.
You’ve been trained to assess needs, design programs, evaluate outcomes.
Now start applying that mindset beyond government forms and donor reports.
Learn skills.
Connect.
Create.
Apply.
Wednesday motivation something
Part of our activities at the Mokwa flood area was the slaughter of cow, and distribution of Sallah meat with the affected households and displaced persons in the spirit of Eid_el Adha!
It was a moment of sharing and love.
Thank you everyone for your generous donations.
