This is the difference between a son and daughter. A daughter will hear her mum had a daughter at 19(meaning she was pregnant at 18) and cry for the person she'd have become. A son will hear of it and use it as a blueprint for what should be.
Yes we are very egoistic.
You know why.
A couple of weeks ago, I cut up a pregnant woman, met a ruptured uterus, brought out the life baby , repaired the womb, and sewed everything back up neat and nicely.
The second day, she was on her feet walking.
And that's just me, I'm a kid compared to other.
Dr Ose literally puts in probes and rods in people and fixes problems you can't even imagine.
Neurosurgeons can literally cut out the part of the brain that you used to type this tweet.
And yes, they can do it while you're awake.
CT surgeons and interventional cardiologist operate on a heart that is beating. That's like a mechanic working on a car with the engine running.
So yes aunty.
We are very egoistic because when we are not around, people die.
If you're not around, the only thing that happens is reduced revenue.
Do am if e easy.
I’ve been watching the #ResidentDoctors strike and we all need to lend our voice. For over two weeks, NARD doctors have withdrawn their services — and the government still hasn’t fully answered.
These aren’t petty demands. NARD says N38 billion is owed in unpaid salaries and allowances. Resident doctors are the backbone of public hospitals — yet their welfare keeps being ignored.
According to NARD, only 2 of 19 demands have received “progress.”
At UCH (Ibadan) — a premier teaching hospital — resident doctors have fully complied. Consultants are trying to manage, but it’s not a sustainable solution.
These doctors are not striking to be difficult. They’re striking because conditions are untenable: low pay, high work pressure, no long-term security.
The president has now directed the Health Ministry to act, but NARD insists their 19-point demand must be fully met. Partial payouts or half-measures won’t cut it.
As someone who cares about long-term sustainability, I know this matters: A broken health system isn’t just a loss for doctors — it’s a loss for all of us.
@nard_nigeria deserves more than lip service. They deserve real, lasting reform. This is not just a strike — it’s a fight for justice, dignity, and healthcare for every Nigerian.
I’m calling on fellow Nigerians, public servants, and every leader who can influence this: Stand with them. Amplify their voice. Push for a resolution that lasts, not a band-aid fix.
To @nard_nigeria — your cause matters..
We stand with you.
This was me after working 58 hrs in a 72hr period (10hr rest in 3 days) because of severe manpower shortage.
I almost collapsed mid-surgery and had to drink coke using NG tube as straw so I could stand long enough to complete the case.
Now I'm finding out I'm "useless" on X.
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

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.
This woman just described a day in every Nigerian doctors life working in government or teaching hospitals
This is 2025 and everything she tweeted is STILL HAPPENING!
It’s almost 24hrs we haven’t heard from my sister, she was going to Epe from Ajah around 1pm yesterday (Thursday) for her jamb exam today…. The last msg she sent her other sister was that “I’m scared I Tink I enter rong car my eyes is itchy e be like I want to slip.
Wrote both USMLE Steps as a student. Completed elective rotations as a student. Attended conferences as a student. Applied as a student. Interviewed as a student. Matched as a freshly minted doctor!
I’m going to be a radiologist!
All glory to God🙏🏼

Honestly don’t mind my offspring looking like my partner. As a matter of fact, I think I’d very much like it. Seeing the face of the person you love in another person you love sounds very beautiful
Except if we have a fight, you and your twin brother will sleep in the garage ✋🏾
