@Aridunu_jones It's you!🥺
You volunteered to help me snap my pictures after the event today even without me asking, you're far too kind, Thank you so much❤️
🚨 Yesterday on weekend call, we finally got a rare quiet moment around 2 AM; just me (the pharmacist on call), one nurse, and the on-call doctor, chilling in the break room with cold coke and groundnut (the real MVPs of night duty 😂).
The gist started light: complaining about NEPA, stock-outs, and how patients always ask for "the strong one" even when paracetamol is fine. Then it shifted to why we do this job despite everything.
The nurse said something like, "You pharmacists swear an oath too? I thought it's only doctors with that Hippocratic drama." The doctor laughed and asked me to drop the components of our pharmacist oath in Nigeria.
I pulled it up from my phone (and yeah, it's similar to the global one adopted here via PCN/PSN vibes):
• Vowing to serve humanity and support the profession's ideals.
• Living by the highest standards of conduct in everything.
• Using all our knowledge to support health and well-being of patients.
• Putting patients' needs above personal interests.
• Treating everyone equally, fairly, with respect; no discrimination based on anything.
• Basically, integrity, compassion, excellence, patient-first always.
The doctor nodded, "Sounds a lot like ours; 'health of my patient first.'" The nurse added, "But you guys actually catch our prescription errors and save lives quietly. That oath isn't just talk."
We all went quiet for a second, sipping coke like philosophers. Then I said, "Truth is, that oath hits different when you're the only one left in the pharmacy at 3 AM, double-checking a script that could go wrong, or explaining to a scared family why a drug is out of stock but here's a safe alternative."
The doctor raised his cup: "To oaths that keep us grounded when the system tries to break us."
Nurse: "And to the patients who remind us why we swore it."
Me: "Amen. Now let's go survive the rest of this call before another emergency hits."
Weekend calls can drain you, but those small, real talks with the team? They recharge the soul. We're all in this healthcare trenches together; doctors, nurses, pharmacists, bound by our oaths to keep fighting for patients.
Grateful for the team. Grateful for the reminder.
Let's discuss your experience 👇

A Divine Detour That Changed My Life Forever ❤️ This is a random story, but perhaps the most important one I’ll ever tell.
I served in Osun State for one year under the NYSC scheme, and on the very last day of my service, news reached me that Daddy Adeboye, as I fondly call him, was coming to Osun Stadium for a Let’s Go a-Fishing crusade. Something in me just couldn’t leave. I packed my bags, looked at the bus home, and chose to stay.
I attended the programme. Daddy prayed for us. And honestly, that alone felt like enough.
But God wasn’t done.
On my way out, one of my Egbons from church pulled me aside and said, “Let’s go pray with the chair Daddy sat in.” I looked at him and said, “Omo, you don watch too much Africa Magic movie.” 😄
He dragged me anyway. And because he was my elder, I followed. I knelt down, closed my eyes, and prayed, with genuine faith this time. When I was done, the crowd began to surge and in the rush, I accidentally bumped into an elderly man who nearly lost his balance.
Now, as a proper Yoruba boy, there was only one response. I went straight to the ground. Full prostration. No hesitation.
When I raised my head… I froze.
Standing before me was Professor Adeyewa, my former Deputy Vice-Chancellor at FUTA. A man I deeply respected. I was almost swallowed by embarrassment, but before I could even form an apology, he smiled and said: “John. I have been looking for you for one year. I heard you were serving in Osun State. I know how good you are with web development and branding, here is my card. Text me. Let’s talk.”
I looked down at the card.
Vice-Chancellor, Redeemer’s University.
And not just that, he was also the Chairman of all Vice-Chancellors in Nigeria under the NUC.
That moment, that single, accidental, faith-filled moment, changed my life completely.
I got the job. I was paid well. And during my time at Redeemer’s University, I overhauled the entire university’s branding. The results spoke for themselves: Redeemer’s University won the Best Private University in Nigeria. I also handled the full branding and web application for the 33rd Conference of the Association of Vice-Chancellors of Nigerian Universities (AVCNU), hosted right there in Ede, and I gave it everything I had.
None of this would have happened if I had simply taken that bus home. None of this would have happened if my Egbon hadn’t dragged me to that chair. None of this would have happened if I hadn’t knelt down and prayed, with faith. Pastor Adeboye, you have been a blessing to me, to my family, to my friends, and to everyone I love. You blessed me spiritually. And through the institution you own, God used you to open a door that transformed my career and my life. It was at redeemer’s university I met my cofounder at @kreateng, that we later built @awacashofficial together before we sold to @SifaxGroup and later went to build @usevaulta where we processed over $60m last year for African business owners doing cross border payments.
Happy 84th Birthday, Daddy. 🎂
I love you so much, sir. Thank you for being a vessel that God keeps using, even when people like me don’t realize we’re standing in the middle of a miracle. ❤️
Man, God bless you Pastor @nathanielblow.
I know this is not easy, and I know what it costs to stand the way you stand. I know the enemy tries, but God is stronger, and He defends His own. He is a just God, and He forever gives justice to those who serve Him faithfully.
We may never fully understand the weight you carry or the sacrifices behind the scenes, but from the depths of my heart, may the Lord bless you deeply and openly.
For every moment of strain, may He grant you supernatural strength. For every reproach, may He restore you. For every attempt to shame you, may God answer with undeniable and multiplied wins.
May He preserve you, vindicate you, and honor you before those who doubted and even those who watched silently. You will not be wearied, you will not be stopped, and no evil will ever stand in your way.
We are truly grateful for you.
STALWART - to be marked by outstanding strength and vigor.
Loyal, Reliable, Faithful & Hardworking.
Yesterday while praying before HC the Spirit of God spoke this word into my heart.
I believe God is calling us to virtue and strength of character. People who are reliable and trustworthy, strong and sturdy in our commitment and service to Him and humanity.
Declare with me, “I AM A STALWART PERSON !”
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Cor 15:58

PSALM 91:7-11 (KJV)
7. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee.
8. Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold and see the reward of the wicked.
9. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation;
10. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.
11. For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
JOB 5:19-22 (KJV)

21. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
22. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
