LIFE OF A NIGERIAN DOCTOR IN 2026
Being the only doctor on heavy night call in a Nigerian Specialist hospital is basically signing up for a solo boss-level survival game.
You resume 8pm.
By 9:45, you’ve already:
✔️ Reviewed 3 new emergencies from the A&E
✔️ Written admission notes for 12 patients (hand cramping like say na JAMB essay)
✔️ Been called “oga doctor” by your nurses 23 times while they hand you 27 new cases notes for patients in the ward
✔️ Pronounced a university student who went out partying too hard on valentine's day and had accident D.O.A. and consoled family who are still wailing outside.
The ward is full and casualty is overflowing.
Opay keeps calling your phone because you are owing them 261k.
Theatre is calling you to come review the patient for emergency lap.
And the consultant on call phone is on Do Not Disturb because family emergency but we all know na sleep emergency. (How much are they even paying him?)
You haven’t sipped water or peed since you resumed and your bladder is doing its own ward round.
Then labour ward matron is calling for an emergency. They said it's eclampsia with sky high BP, seizing.
You sprint there, stabilize, give drugs, rush to maternity operating suit and deliver baby under general anaesthesia(cough* cough* ketamine), write orders to send mother to hdu, and run back to medical ward because another Baba with kidney failure on dialysis just arrested.
Another 15 minutes doing CPR. You write his death note too.
You head over to the theater, take the ex-lap case with the peri-op assisting. Consultant surgeon said he is tired and you should only call him if you run into trouble.
Luckily you did not.
You finish by 3am, and write op note.
A&E nurse are fuming outside waiting for you. You follow her to keep attending to patients.
You’re doing the work of house officer + registrar + senior registrar + consultant + locum + security (because sometimes you have to beg relatives to calm down before they remove your teeth)
By 5am, light goes off. When you ask why, generator people say fuel has finish.
You call CMD, he says you should never call him for such flimsy reasons again, that he is not the commissioner doing the budget.
So what can you do?
You keep assessing your patients with your phone torch and your nurse’s android touch light.
Morning comes and you handover at 8am sharp.
You look like you fought Boko Haram overnight. Your eyes are red, your hair is tangled, and your scrubs looking like prison rags .
You sign out, drag yourself to your car. You check the fuel gauge, low fuel!
You wonder if it'll take you home.
You decide to risk it.
As you're leaving, you heard the family of the patient you saved last night shouting, “Thank God o Doctor! God is good!”
Yes. God is good.
But doctor sef try small sha 😭. Appreciate us too.
We dey manage, but the body no dey manage. You get home only to see patients complaining on twitter that you're treating them under android touch light.
You laugh… not because you're not angry but because the next call is in 2 days.
Mama Ekundayo – The Yoruba - Kogi Woman Who Raised Over 500 Orphans And Abandoned Children
She dedicated her life to taking care of orphans. Her name is Mama Janet Ekundayo. Nigeria is a nation full of unsung heroes and heroines. In this hustle and bustle that has come to characterize the Nigerian society, it is little surprise that we have neglected some of the most vulnerable ones in the society – the orphans and abandoned kids.
But there was one woman who did the opposite – she dedicated her life to taking care of orphans. Her name is Mama Janet Ekundayo. Ekundayo is a name in the language of the Yorubas of West Africa. It can be translated as ‘tears turned to joy’ or ‘my tears have turned to joy’. And truly, this wonderful woman turned the hot, steamy tears of many kids into unlimited joy.
Mama Ekundayo has been described as the Mother Theresa of Africa, because she dedicated most of her life to take care of orphans and abandoned children in the society.
In 2007, she adopted her 469th child, and by the year 2008; she had already cared for over 500 children. This act earned her the nickname “Olomo yeye”, which means someone with many children. Her lifestyle projected the meaning of her name, “Ekundayo,” which istranslated to mean, “tears have turned to joy” in Yoruba language.
Mama Ekundayo, who’s real name is Janet Ekundayo gave birth to five children of her own, but that did not stop her from adopting other kids because of her love for children.
She enjoyed the company of little children, therefore taking care of them came naturally to her.
In 1969, Mama Ekundayo made a decision to dedicate the rest of her life to taking care of orphans and abandoned children.For over 50 years, Mama Janet Ekundayo ran theEkundayo Orphanage Home in Isanlu Makutu, Kogi state. She has been described as one of the most influential Kogi Women of all time.
Her Famous Words Emi ko, ishe Oluwa ni (meaning: It is not by my effortsbut by the grace of God). Agbara mi ko, agbara Olorun ni (meaning: It is not by my power or might, but that of God). This sign is also at the entrance of her orphanage. Bawo ni mashe jeun nigba ti gbogbo awon omo mi o ri je, ti won rimu? (meaning: How can I eatwhen all my children are starving?) Ayo mikun, gbogbo igbese aye mi, ayo ni. Mi o mo idi ti Olorun fi pe mi be. Into mu inu mi dun ni ti awon omo yii. (My joy overflows, my whole life has been filled with joy. I still don’t know why God chose me thus. These children give me the greatest joy). Eje fogo Olorun han, ma se bo talenti mo le rara, eje fogo olorun han. (Let your talent flourish, don’t hide it). For her, her talent was caring for children. Her DeathIn the year 2009, death came knocking. She was believed to be an octogenarian or a nonagenarian.
Many never heard of her until the Nigerian singer, TY Bello made a video in her honor and even produced a song titled Ekundayo ft Olufunmi for her in 2008. It was part of her popular album, Greenland.
Later, she would also be featured on Mosunmola Folake Abudu (Mo Abudu)’s program, Moments with Mo. One prayer she had was for God to grant her someone to whom she could hand over the project when she is no more. Her prayers were answered.
Her daughter, Grace, has graciously taken upon this task started by her mother.
This Great woman deserve to be celebrated 🖤
