Usain Bolt's daughter just ran a record breaking race, and the internet did what it always does.

"Speed is in the genes." "The apple doesn't fall far." "Some families are just built different."

We do this every time.

A family produces three doctors and we say intelligence runs in the blood. A musician's children can all sing and we call it a gift. Wealth passes from one generation to the next and we call it destiny.

We rarely ask the more interesting question.

What was actually happening inside that house?

Because Usain Bolt did not just pass his daughter fast legs.

He passed her a relationship with discipline that started before she could form full sentences. A home where excellence was the standard, not the goal. Dinner table conversations that most children never get access to. Coaches, environments, routines, and frameworks built around performance from the very beginning.

She did not inherit speed, she inherited a system.

The same way a doctor's child grows up hearing medical terminology as casually as other kids hear whatever they hear on their parent's tv. Textbooks left on the dining table, a parent who navigates complexity without showing any panic, a quiet, early understanding that hard problems are meant to be solved, not feared.

By the time they enter medical school they are not starting from scratch, they have been in the building for twenty years already.

This is what we keep mistaking for talent.

It is exposure, compounding quietly over a childhood, a system running in the background of someone's life long before anyone is paying attention.

Success leaves a blueprint, it always has. The difference between people who benefit from it and people who don't is rarely biology. It is access, what surrounds you before you were old enough to choose your surroundings, your environment!

Which means the real question is not whether you were built for this. It is what you are building around yourself right now.

Because you can study the blueprint. You can find the rooms, the books, the people, the habits. You can construct deliberately what others inherited accidentally.

Nobody is running on miracles. They are running on systems that started long before anyone noticed.

Study the system, build your own.

Everyone is discussing their Christmas plans here & this person is expressing how stressful it is, to cater for their extended families pooling from all around the country.

What this person is complaining about, is a tradeoff I miss the most.

Then, it hits me afresh.

Don't get me wrong. Upping and moving to a different country, to view and live life differently has incredible upsides, especially with exposure - but to know that most of the 'family christmas' I'd enjoy, Ive already enjoyed them in my childhood and teenage years, until I create my own family.

The joy of running up the street to your uncle's house, your aunts suddenly showing up at your homes, your uncles jointly slaughtering rams at your Grandpa's Eid gatherings, your mum serving everyone at New year's, joint crossover prayers and banger purchases - that the chances of those happening again, is significantly lower.

The longer I stay, cross career chasms, have siblings who potentially move to other parts of the world - the lower those chances become.

Everytime this reality hits you, it saddens you incredibly.

I am not complaining. I made a conscious decision to tow this path - I understood the tradeoffs, negotiated internallly, decided that I couldn't endure the alternative so I do not have any regrets but I'm allowed to process multiple emotions.

A festive period where all of my family gathers, isn't one I've experienced in a long time - it's one I might experience soon, but it isn't one i would experience often.

There has to be a study that mirrors what the consequential behavioral and physiological changes are - because that void cannot remain unfilled. The consequences are definitely outputs that might take a decade to fully manifest - it is a big shift from what makes us Africans.

Anyways, end of rant.

Stories plenty 😂

The first time I heard that someone swallowed boric acid pessary, I was shocked. Then one of my patients said she opens Ampiclox capsule and pour the content in her mouth. That it works faster that way. I nearly lost it 😂

Since then I started asking patients to tell me how they will use their medications after I was done explaining to them. Funny enough, many still couldn’t.

I now believe the different medication misuse cases I see/hear online/offline

🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 If you will be PATIENT and COMPREHEND 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 then READ.

This year makes it 5 years that I Victoria Orenze have not gone through THE TOLLGATE. I was there physically, i barely made it before we all watched live online the killings with our eyes and yet, it was and has be denied by our politicians and leaders as though what we saw was not real.
My heart bled that year and I made the decision to boycott tollgate until some form of justice is seen. I also refuse to forget in a hurry what happened there, the blood 🩸 that was shed. And for every time I am in traffic that could have been avoided if I took the tollgate, I am reminded to curse evil in my nation🇳🇬, speak against evil with every opportunity I get and pray harder to my GOD to deliver us from unreasonable and wicked politicians and leaders who will never ADMIT ANY TRUTH!

So when I write or speak and say pharaohs don’t know how to let go only GOD delivers from their hands you come and tell me it’s not by prayer or talking, we need to do something.

I ask you:-
What are you doing??
What can you sacrifice?
What can you boycott??
What inconvenience are you willing to go through?

We are too selfish as citizens, for many if we say let’s boycott this or that for some time, if you look back after 3 days you will be the only one standing. They will turn it to tribal nonsense and give a funny reasons why we can’t all just stand together for truth and justice.

For 5 thousand naira, 10 thousand naira, broom and Parker, indomie, car, money, positions(they don’t deserve or are qualified for but are promised) and more, your fellow citizen and comrade will sell you out in a hurry. We can’t go anywhere as a people until we stop our selfishness!!!

That’s why when you come and write nonsense in my comments without comprehension, when you come and tell me it’s not about just speaking or praying, I laugh and I block you.
I am not a suddenly concerned citizen, I have been a concerned n active citizen and servant of GOD for years and I will not stop PRAYING, speaking and acting by denying myself of the comfort of the tollgate for 5yrs and still counting as the LORD helps me.

I cried throughout the night seeing the CAC church live stream and I won’t stop speaking!

GOD has been speaking and warning us for years, but we will not listen, we are quick to turn from GOD!
This is a peculiar situation, a pharaoh kind of situation and only GOD can deliver us out of the hand of pharaohs! And HE will deliver us!
GOD will use men, use the wind, rain, thunder, animals, the earth and everything to fight for us HIS people if we will turn to HIM! and no matter who or what HE uses, HE must take all the glory not any man!
GOD will always first send warnings of judgment ahead to give room for repentance, so HE will be just and you won’t find fault in HIM when HE judges! When we refuse the warnings, we can’t escape the judgment!!
So if you are part of the wicked in Nigeria 🇳🇬 in anyway, shape or form, watch and see your evil end!

I keep praying!
I keep speaking out!
I keep acting!!
