6 World Cups , 0 player of the tournament. Even Modric won the World Cup Golden ball with Croatia as a Midfielder
6 Euros campaigns, 0 player of the tournament. Even Donnarumma won it as a goalkeeper
4 Nations league campaigns, 0 player of the tournament. Even Nuno Mendes won it with the same Portugal team as a Defender
Ronaldo has been carried by his Portugal teammates and that’s why if they don’t perform, he becomes a log of wood.
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors should not have to beg for what has already been agreed upon. The Federal Government signed a deal on the Professional Allowance Table, and now it wants to abandon it. This is not governance; it is betrayal.
Our resident doctors are the last line of defence in hospitals that are already collapsing. They work gruelling hours, in impossible conditions, for pay that insults their sacrifice. And now, the government seeks to take away the little that was promised? The Tinubu administration must demonstrate commitment to the issues: 19 months of unpaid Professional Allowance arrears; promotion arrears gathering dust; a Medical Residency Training Fund stuck in bureaucratic limbo; and a government that treats its doctors as an afterthought and remains unconcerned as they flee the country in droves.
Every doctor Nigeria loses to the UK, Canada, or Saudi Arabia is a failure of leadership, not a failure of patriotism. You cannot ask people to serve a nation that refuses to honour its own word.
I stand with NARD. Pay what you owe. Honour what you signed. Or explain to 200 million Nigerians why their hospitals will go dark on Tuesday. -AA
@Cleverlydey4u The painful part is that in the next couple of months, this leg will mostly end up in the hospital and the Doctor will be blamed for the outcome of decision made from complications from what this man is doing
LOSS OF A HERO 🕊️
On behalf of Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman–led NARD NOC, E-NOC, NEC Members, the Crown Prince of NARD, and the entire NARDITES, we mourn with heavy hearts the tragic and untimely passing of Dr. Salome Oboyi, Senior Registrar in the Department of Obstetrics & Gynaecology, Bingham University Teaching Hospital (BHUTH), Jos.
Dr. Salome passed on Monday, 2nd February 2026, after contracting Lassa Fever from a patient under her care—a painful reminder of the daily risks doctors take while serving humanity.
She did not die chasing fame.
She did not die seeking applause.
She died doing her job—saving lives.
A selfless doctor.
A devoted healer.
A fallen hero.
Her death is not just a personal loss to her family or an institutional loss to BHUTH; it is a collective tragedy for the Nigerian medical community and a glaring symbol of a systemic failure that continues to claim the lives of our finest minds in silence.
We sincerely commiserate with the Management of Bingham University Teaching Hospital, her colleagues, friends, her grieving family, the entire NARDITES, and the Nigerian medical community at large.
May her sacrifice not be forgotten.
May her death not be in vain.
May her story awaken a nation.
Rest in perfect peace Dr. Salome Oboyi 🕊️
Your light will not fade.

“Doctors have been on strike for two weeks now. Nigeria is happening to me. My friends living with sickle cells are dy!ng because they can’t afford private hospitals. Last week, Nigerians were busy talking about Regina Daniels and Ned Nwoko. This week, it’s Mr Jollof and VeryDarkman, while Christians are being k!ll£d by terrørists.”😥💔

Safe work hours save Patients
Safe work hours save Doctors
Nigeria can save both Doctors and Patients
“An MoU that does not guarantee immediate and verifiable action is not worth the paper it is written on"
Nigeria has 36 states.
We have less than 30 Neurosurgeons in the whole country.
In a country where we have more states than the number of Neurosurgeons, you’d assume they’d be treasured.
They just kidnapped a Neurosurgeon in Anambra, probably the only one.
Shame on our security forces.
@NrOluwasusi Therein lies the knowledge gap. A qualified doctor will not even rationalize this, not to talk of tweeting it to the public. This scenario ( RBG dropping from 250 to 70 mg /dl after 100iu of insulin) never happened. E sure me say you fit be auxiliary nurse sef.
You have to know.. That when you walk into the A/E in a Nigerian tertiary Hospital, people will rush to your rescue. A nurse will check the vitals and alert the doctor on call. Jointly, they'll try to stop bleeders, secure airway, ensure breathing and all.
@one_threehill@Banjo_Dr If he hadn’t, idiots like you wouldn’t know the true state of things.
If the Nigerian Doctor is well paid, he won’t put his health at risk working in 3 different places.
The stethoscope that once heard every heartbeat now lies still.Not out of pride, but protest.
We have served through darkness, paid with patience,
and endured without tools or pay.
Now we speak through silence.
Until justice echoes, our silence will roar

When doctors collapse in the line of duty, it’s more than exhaustion — it’s a reflection of a system that has refused to listen for too long.
This is not just one person’s story, it’s the reality of many Nigerian doctors who keep giving their all in a system that gives so little in return.
A PASSIONATE APPEAL TO THE COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF OF THE FEDERATION
Dear President Bola Ahmed Tinubu GCFR
Your Excellency Sir,
Warm greetings to you from the entire body of Resident Doctors in Nigeria; a vital group of young medical professionals who provide specialist care and constitute a significant portion of the nation’s healthcare workforce.
We write to you today with deep concern and a profound sense of duty to draw your urgent attention to the worsening state of Nigeria’s health sector. Our healthcare system, Sir, is on the verge of collapse, a situation that has now assumed the dimensions of a national emergency and a matter of national security.
Your Excellency, we are aware that some individuals around you may have assured you that the challenges facing resident doctors have been resolved. Respectfully, Sir, that information is not accurate. Our realities in the hospitals across Nigeria tell a different story. Many of our members are yet to receive their legitimate entitlements, despite several signed agreements and repeated assurances from government representatives.
We are not politicians. We are doctors; men and women devoted to saving lives, working long hours in often harsh and under-resourced conditions. Our appeal is simple and sincere: we seek not luxuries, but the basic salaries, allowances, and welfare packages that have already been approved and promised by government.
Sadly, while many in privileged positions continue to receive their full emoluments without delay, the frontline doctors who shoulder the burden of patient care are left struggling. This inequity is demoralizing and threatens the very foundation of our healthcare delivery system.
Mr. President, you have always been known for your compassion, fairness, and courage in addressing difficult national challenges. We therefore appeal to your fatherly leadership to personally intervene and resolve the long-standing 19-point demands of the Nigerian Resident Doctors in order to restore hope, trust, and stability to our health sector.
We believe that under your decisive leadership, Nigeria’s health system can once again stand strong to serve our people with dignity and save countless lives.
May God grant you the wisdom, strength, and goodwill to act swiftly in the interest of all Nigerians.
Thank you Your Excellency for your kind attention and anticipated action.
Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman
President, Nigeria Association of Resident Doctors

PUMSA MOURN
It is with a heavy heart and profound sorrow that we announce the passing of our 35th President of the Port Harcourt University Medical Students’ Association (PUMSA), Dr. Rotifa Femi, who died while on duty.
Nigeria’s women footballers deserve our congratulations for winning the 2024 WAFCON. The Federal Government rewarded each of the 24 players with the naira equivalent of US$100 000 and each of the 11 coaches with US$50 000; it also promised a national honour and three bedroom apartments, bringing the cash gift to about ₦4.602 billion. The Nigerian Governors’ Forum added another ₦350 million. While celebrating our heroines, it is worth reflecting on what this money means in a country struggling to retain doctors, teachers and other essential workers.
Daily Trust calculated that the same amount could cover a month’s salary for roughly 16 000 doctors or 66 000 teachers—precisely the professionals whose welfare governments cite as “unaffordable”. Many government employed doctors earn between ₦200 000 and ₦250 000 a month. and must cope with rising living costs which drives the brain drain crisis. Teachers and police officers are in a similar predicament; the same ₦4 billion could pay the lowest ranked police officers for a month.
Meanwhile, the Federal Government still owes 2023–2024 accoutrement allowance arrears, upwardly revised CONMESS salary arrears and is yet to fully disburse the 2025 Medical Residency Training Fund. NARD has repeatedly asked for immediate payment of these arrears and for salary adjustments reflecting the 2019 and 2024 minimum wage increases. Resident doctors also remain excluded from the specialist allowance scheme.
Our position is not to begrudge the Super Falcons and D’Tigress their well earned celebration. Rather, we ask the same level of political will and financial commitment for healthcare workers who have quietly kept Nigerians alive through pandemics, insecurity and chronic under funding. By settling outstanding allowances, implementing the promised salary reviews and prioritising welfare, the government can demonstrate that it truly values both its champions on the field and its “champions” in the hospital wards.
