Today my house help taught me a lesson in integrity. My brother came to visit and gave her some money to buy a few things to make for him to travel with. After shopping, there was some change left. She came back and I told her to keep it until he returned.
“Matar rufin asiri” and it’s infidelity, adultery and Zina. Some of you are actually mad, and the women who enable you people are equally stupid….
Punishment for adultery is being stoned to death, are you people actually out of your minds???
During my Pediatrics internship, we had a child with prolonged fever + chronic diarrhea.
He was eventually diagnosed with HIV.
After counseling, we tested both parents.
Mother: HIV positive
Father: HIV negative
The father looked shocked.
30 minutes later, he came back and quietly asked us:
“Does HIV spread from kissing?”
We explained:
No, casual kissing does not transmit HIV.
Then he asked:
“What about sex?”
We said yes. Sexual transmission is one of the commonest modes.
He became visibly anxious.
Then the real story came out.
The “father” was actually the child’s uncle (Chacha)
For the past 1–2 months, the mother had been living with him, while the child’s biological father was living with the uncle’s wife (Chachi)
The mother had acquired HIV from her husband (the child’s biological father).
Both the mother and biological father already knew about the diagnosis😁
Neither informed their new partners😐
One HIV diagnosis in a child suddenly turned into a contact tracing nightmare involving 4 adults.
That day I realized:
In medicine, history taking is sometimes more complicated than the disease itself😅😅
I love the way litigation medicine is popping up.
I love it so much.
Since you doctors have refused to hear world, you're not getting paid right but you chose to be robin hood to your patients.
You'd be working in dysfunctional system, using towels as mops, using general surgery equipment to do complex peads and CT cases, water bottle as CPAP and so on.
Instead of letting the system die a peaceful death, you chose to keep it alive with your blood and that of your juniors.
Well, good news is that Nigerians don't rate you.
Shebi it's CT professor that they came to beat the other day, it'll be your turn next time.
Nigerians hate you and they'll happily sue you to death if you make the slightest mistake.
And nobody cares if the mistake is from a systemic issue or it's personal.
They'll say the system is working, so you're the one at fault.
Keep being the robin hood chiefs.
I won't be sad when you all find your way into prison.
As for me, I will never do pass my boundaries for any Nigerian in this country.
Thank you.
🚨 BREAKING: THE THEATRE IS NO LONGER SACRED. TOP SURGEON BRUTALIZED AT UUTH. 🇳🇬
We are receiving horrific reports from the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH). This isn't just a news update; it is a direct assault on the medical profession.
This morning, May 12, 2026, armed and masked operatives identified by eyewitnesses as personnel from the EFCC stormed the federal facility in a commando-style raid. They didn't come to arrest a criminal; they came for Professor Eyo Ekpe.
Professor Ekpe is a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery. He is the Deputy CMAC of UUTH. He is one of the few specialists standing between life and death for millions of Nigerians in the South-South.
Witnesses say the operatives were ruthless. Staff members who tried to intervene were beaten and threatened with firearms. Imagine being a Professor of Medicine and the Deputy CMAC of a tertiary hospital, only to be dragged out of your office like a common thief.
Reports suggest this assault was triggered by a dispute over a medical report for a relative of a high-ranking official. However, the EFCC has yet to issue an official statement explaining the reason for the raid itself, as the entire situation simply does not make sense.
We are calling on the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA): How much more can we take? If a Professor of Surgery is not safe in his own hospital, who is?
Nigeria is bleeding specialists, and today, the system just cut its own throat. We demand the immediate release of Professor Ekpe and a total apology for this desecration of our health sector. 🩺✊
How do you drag a whole Professor of Cardiothoracic surgery out of theatre to humiliate in front of the whole hospital?!!!!
Nigerian doctors are not angry enough!💔
85 to 90 percent of women physicians are eldest daughters.
That is not a coincidence. That is a pipeline.
Eldest daughters are trained, before age five, to over-function. They take on a parent's worry. They organize the family. They clean up without being asked. They do not ask for help, because they were rewarded their whole childhood for not needing any.
Then they walk into medicine.
A career that demands hyper-responsibility, hypervigilance, perfectionism, and silent sacrifice does not have to ask these women to give those things. They were giving them before they could read.
The system is not stumbling into a burnout problem. The system is recruiting from a pool of people whose entire childhood was a training program for it.
This is what pediatrician and certified coach Jessie Mahoney has been finding when she asks the room. In every group, in every retreat. Maybe one or two women are not eldest daughters. The rest have been carrying something since before they could spell their own name.
Most of those women blame themselves. "Why don't I have boundaries?" "Why do I over-function?" "Why can't I delegate?"
Because at five years old, your family rewarded you for over-functioning. Because every teacher praised you for it. Because the medical training system selected for it. Because every job since has reinforced it. The pattern is older than your medical degree by twenty years.
The other piece nobody names: by the time these women are in their fifties, they are carrying eldest-daughter responsibility for aging parents AND running a department as chief AND running a household. The role does not retire when the children do. It just compounds.
Jessie's reframe is the part worth bookmarking.
The "hero" framing is the trap. Eldest daughters were made the savior of the family before they could read. Then medicine made them the savior of the patient. Then the department made them the savior of the team. At every stage, they learned that if they did not do it, terrible things would happen and it would be their fault.
Awareness is the first move. Non-judgment is the second. Excellence is not doing everything yourself. Excellence is letting other people do their jobs.
You are allowed to gift some of it back. You can ask your siblings to carry the aging parent. You can let your medical assistant do the medical assistant's job. You can stop covering the gap that nobody actually asked you to cover.
Most eldest daughters in medicine have never asked for help. When they finally do, they discover people are willing to help. The asking was the whole obstacle.

What is the one task you have been carrying for your family or your team that no one ever actually asked you to carry?

"Healthcare workers are heroes."
We don't want to be heroes.
We want electricity. Working equipment. Salary paid on time. We want a system that doesn't send us to die quietly in a call room.
“Ciwon ya mace na ya mace ne”… or at least it used to be. These days, it feels like support among women is fading, not every woman stands for another woman. Some compete, some pull you down!! The support isn’t as loud as the competition anymore and it is so sadddd wallahi
They said more than five police officers were involved in the extrajudicial killing of Oghenemine. So why is only one person being paraded as the culprit?
Justice cannot be selective. Every officer involved must be identified, investigated, and prosecuted accordingly. Anything less is a coverup.
We must not allow this to fade away like just another social media trend. Real lives are being lost, and silence only enables more abuse.
The world watched how justice was pursued in the case of George Floyd. We must demand the same level of accountability here.
If you can’t make a post, please share this message. Speak up. Demand justice.

The Nigeria Police Force acknowledges that this action was wrong.
On 26 April 2026, in Effurun, Delta State, Mene Ogidi lost his life due to the unjustified use of force by a Police officer.
Officers responded to a report of a suspect apprehended at Benin Motor Park with a concealed Beretta pistol. While efforts were being made to take him into custody, Asp Nuhu Usman discharged his firearm. The circumstances surrounding the incident, as reflected in the circulating video and preliminary findings, indicate a clear violation of established regulations.
A man has lost his life, and a family is grieving. The Delta State Commissioner of Police has directed the Area Commander to bring ASP Usman and his team to Force Headquarters in Abuja. The Force Disciplinary Committee will review the case, followed by criminal prosecution. Accountability will be enforced without exception.
The Force leadership extends its deepest condolences to Mene Ogidi’s family and assures them that justice will be served fully without compromise.
To the people of Effurun and all Nigerians, your concerns are heard. The Force remains committed to ensuring that such actions are properly addressed and do not occur again.
Just see this barbarism.
Armed animals suspected to be policemen from the Nigerian police force in delta state tied up a man in broad day light and shot him to death.
No prosecution. No court trial. Just jungle justice by Nigerian police.
WIlD ANIMALS.
