29 days ago, I said I was going to do this… and somehow, I actually did it. 😭😂
30 days of showing up on X. Done ✅
There were days I had gist.
There were days I had absolutely nothing to post🥲😂
But somehow, I still showed up.
CT, IVU, Mammography, X-ray, Clinical posting, Random thoughts, Cruise, Plenty nonsense too. 😂
Thank you to everyone who followed along, replied, liked, reposted and encouraged me throughout this challenge🤍.
I came here to test my consistency. I think I passed 😂
30/30✨
The day you stop needing everybody to understand you is the day you recover a lot of peace you have been giving away for free.
Being understood by everyone is not a requirement for living well.
YOU ARE NOT TRAINING RADIOGRAPHERS FOR A DEGREE.
An Open Letter to Every Radiography Lecturer in Nigeria.
By Dr. V. K. Nwodo
You are not training radiographers for the award of a degree. You are training the EYES of medicine. You are preparing men and women who will one day stand alone in an X-ray room, in CT, MRI or in an Ultrasound suite, with a patient who is trembling.
That patient will not know the difference between a Doctor, a Radiologist and a Radiographer. She will not care about your scheme of work, your course outline, your departmental politics or her degree classification. She will look into your student's eyes and call him "Doctor" - because to her, anyone in a white coat who holds her life in his hands is a Doctor - and she will say: "Doctor, please tell me what is wrong with me. Doctor, please tell me if my baby is okay. Doctor, please save me."
In that sacred moment, your lecture becomes her hope. The positioning you taught - or did not teach - will decide if a fracture is seen or missed. The pattern recognition you emphasized - or ignored - will decide if that pathology is seen or misdiagnosed. The radiation protection you taught - or did not teach - that will make him decide whether to X-ray a pregnant woman, will save or harm the child. The image quality you insisted on - or compromised on - will become the difference between an accurate diagnosis and a death sentence. The empathy you modeled will become their humanity.
A blurry image can bury a tumor. A careless report can end a pregnancy. A professional radiograph can turn tears to joy. Your classroom today is someone's diagnosis tomorrow.
So, teach positioning with purpose. Teach physics with patience. Teach anatomy with awe. Teach ethics with example. Mentor with responsibility. Supervise with seriousness. Assess with integrity.
Do not produce graduates who can only pass exams. Produce Radiographers you will be proud to lie on their couch. Produce Radiographers the world will trust with their lives, even beyond the four walls of the university.
You are not producing degree holders. You are producing life-savers.
Shalom.💝💝💪🏻💪🏻😁😁
I want you to think of it like you are sitting in a moving car with your eyes closed. What do you feel? You would notice that you do not feel the speed itself. You only feel the jerks when the driver hits the brakes or steps on the accelerator.
Our bodies are designed to feel changes in motion, not constant speed. Once the plane reaches 900km/h and levels out, you, your seat, and the air inside the cabin are all moving together at that same speed.
The reason it looks like you are crawling when you look out the window comes down to distance and reference points. When you drive down a street, the trees and poles are right next to you, so they zip past in a blur.
Up in the sky, the clouds and the ground are thousands of feet away. Because the landscape is so far away, it takes a very long time for any landmark to cross your field of vision. It is a giant optical illusion.
I hope you understand?
Scored 283 in JAMB 2020, only for my result not to be uploaded to UNILORIN’s portal. I retook JAMB reluctantly and got admitted to UNIOSUN to study Mechanical Engineering.
I never imagined I’d graduate with a First Class (4.57 CGPA).
Only God could do this. 🙏🏽
#uniosun#graduate
ODERINDE PRECIOUS TITILOPE.
3rd BGS in my Department with a First class. 4.55/5.0
If Hardworking was a person, then she's the one.
I wish you success baby❤.
It will only be good from on.
You get 2 heads jor 😂😂
The Scholarship story. A thread🧵
In my 300 level, one email changed everything. Two years later, I graduated with a 4.10 CGPA in Mechanical Engineering. Here's how a scholarship turned my final years around.
hi guys. It’s Donye here.
I wanted to mention that my final MB (professional exam) is in the next few months. It requires a lot of prayers, dedication, studying & support from friends and family.
As I officially start my prep, I know I definitely cannot do this alone. I’ll appreciate your support in form of prayers & check-ups & any other form as I prepare for the final lap. It’s here. The chapter of my story God has been writing is finally nearing its finish line. God has done it. AMEN. Thank you guys❤️

1. Games People Play - Eric Berne
2. The Talented Mr. Ripley - Patricia Highsmith
3. A Time to Kill - John Grisham
4. Want to Stay Alive? - James Hadley Chase
I’ll be reading Games People Play by Eric Berne. I’ve already read a couple of pages this morning.
You can find all four books online as PDFs on OceanofPDF. Let me know if you need any further assistance.
9. ASK WHAT YOU WOULD ADVISE SOMEONE ELSE
When emotions are clouding your judgment, imagine that someone you care about came to you with exactly the same situation.
What would you tell them to do? What risks would you tell them to consider? What would you warn them not to ignore?
Sometimes it is easier to see clearly when you are looking at someone else's situation because you are not carrying the same emotions.
10. GIVE YOURSELF A DEADLINE TO DECIDE
Do not allow a decision to occupy your mind indefinitely.
The more you keep postponing a decision, the easier it becomes to confuse more thinking with better thinking. Give yourself a reasonable timeline based on the seriousness of the decision. A simple decision may need a day or two. A major career, financial or relationship decision may require weeks or longer.
The point is not to rush yourself. The point is to know when thinking has to end and deciding has to begin.
11. MAKE THE DECISION AS REVERSIBLE AS POSSIBLE
When you can test something before committing fully, test it.
If you can rent before buying, rent. If you can start small before investing heavily, start small. If you can have a serious conversation before ending a relationship, have the conversation. If you can try a business on a smaller scale before putting all your money into it, test the business.
The more difficult a decision is to reverse, the more carefully you should make it.
12. HAVE A FALLBACK PLAN
Before taking a major risk, ask yourself what you will do if things do not go according to plan.
If I quit this job and do not get another one for six months, what will I do? If this business fails, how much can I afford to lose? If this move does not work out, where can I go from there?
A fallback plan does not mean you expect to fail. It means you have thought beyond the best-case scenario.
13. COMMIT TO THE DECISION
Once you have gathered the relevant facts, considered the consequences, sought useful advice, checked your options and reached a decision, stop reopening the case every five minutes. 😂
You cannot make every decision with absolute certainty. At some point, you have to accept that you have made the best decision you could with the information available to you.
Commit to it and give it a fair chance.
14. TURN THE DECISION INTO ACTION
A decision is not complete until something changes.
If you decide to leave the job, start applying for the next one. If you decide to save money, move the money. If you decide to start the business, take the first practical step. If you decide to fix a relationship, have the conversation.
Take the first concrete action as soon as reasonably possible. Otherwise, you may spend so much time deciding that nothing actually changes.
15. REVIEW THE DECISION
After some time, look back at the decision and ask what happened.
Did the decision produce what you expected? What did you get right? What did you miss? Did your assumptions turn out to be correct? What would you do differently if you had to make the same decision again?
Do not judge a decision only by its outcome. A well-informed decision can still produce a bad outcome, and a careless decision can occasionally produce a good one. The goal is to learn from the process so that your next decision is better than the last.
