Just trying to remind you that no doctor in Nigeria deserves to earn less than 1 million naira a month.

@elaunireMD I see nothing wrong with her choices as long as she doesn't disturb my other wives.

Quota is 150, but you admitted 300+ in 100L, then 8 years later, you are saying sorry we can only graduate 150. That’s not policy. That’s playing with people’s lives.

8 years of school fees, sacrifice, sleepless nights, parents aging, dreams on hold… only to be told “wait, there’s a backlog”.
The parents that have been saying “my son/daughter is almost a Doctor” for years now don’t even know what to say again. 🥲

It’s not just certificates.
Housemanship delayed, residency delayed, income delayed, marriage plans delayed and life delayed.

This kind of waiting breaks people quietly. The pressure plus the uncertainty is a lot.

I really hope there's something that can be done. This is not a situation anyone should be.

I’ve heard a lot about Fulani people and I witnessed it today.

This woman strolled in that she’s feeling stomach pain.

Apparently, she was in labor cos she was already fully dilated.

She went in, and while others were screaming, she was just smiling and grunting a bit while muttering what I think is prayers.

I wasn’t even sure she was pushing enough because of the sheer lack of effort on her face. But she pushed that baby out without a fuss..

She was even torn and had an episiorrhaphy and was making a phone call during the repair.

Nah, these people are truly strong.

A friend: Wait, why are medical professionals centered on money than saving life

Me: Money is essential for survival, we endanger our own lives every day trying to save others, the pay should at least be worth it especially in Nigeria the pay and the working conditions are so poor!!!

[Dr Prosper The Philosopher @ProsperThePhilo]

I compared the recent Physiology MB examination questions from both UNN and UniJos to see which one was harder.

What I found was actually surprising.

Both papers were for the same academic level and were written within the same session. They even had the same duration.

However, their philosophy of assessment was completely different.

The UNN Physiology paper had six questions, and students were required to answer five. In other words, there was one guaranteed drop built into the paper.

UniJos, on the other hand, set five questions, and all five were compulsory.

Now, looking deeper into the papers, the differences became even more obvious.

UNN examined eight different subtopics across eight different physiological systems.

There was:

- A question on insulin from Endocrine Physiology.
- A question on cardiac output from Cardiovascular Physiology.
- A question on acidification from Renal Physiology.
- A question on the reticular formation from Neurophysiology.
- A question on T-lymphocytes from Immunology.
- A question on gas diffusion from Respiratory Physiology.
- A question on secondary sexual characteristics from Reproductive Physiology.
- A question on bile duct disorders from Hepatobiliary Physiology.

It was broad.

Very broad.

The command words were things like:

- Discuss
- Describe
- Outline
- Briefly discuss

In other words, the paper mostly rewarded recall and explanation.

There was no clinical vignette.

No patient scenario.

Every question stood on its own.

Now compare that with UniJos.

UniJos wasn't nearly as broad.

Instead, it concentrated on fewer domains.

Renal Physiology appeared twice—once on tubular handling and again on the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System (RAAS).

Endocrine Physiology appeared three different times across the paper.

The paper also opened with a complete trauma case containing Hb, Hct, RBC count, ECG, blood pressure, reflexes, and vision findings, followed by multiple sub-questions that depended on interpreting that single clinical scenario correctly.

Miss the case...

...and several marks disappear together.

So, from my own analysis, this is arguable, but I think UniJos was structurally harder.

Why?

Not because the content was necessarily more difficult.

But because it gave students no escape route.

Students had to know Renal Physiology and Endocrine Physiology in much greater depth.

The questions demanded clinical correlation.

They demanded application.

They demanded analysis.

UNN, on the other hand, was broader.

Students had to touch more systems, but each question was more isolated and much more forgiving.

Overall, I would describe the difference like this:

UNN rewarded recall and explanation.

UniJos rewarded recall, comprehension, analysis, synthesis, and application.

That was the biggest difference I noticed after comparing both papers.

Now I'm curious.

Which style do you think is actually harder?

A paper that covers almost every physiological system but mostly asks you to explain...

Or a paper that covers fewer systems but forces you to think clinically and leaves you with no question to drop?

People have stupid money in Nigeria.

I saw a conference in Lagos and Registration fee is 50 million naira and people were rushing it.

Wow..

[Riri💕 @Quo_Riri]

During my internship, we (interns) were mustered at 5AM by the Commandant for punishment.

We stood at attention, ran around for hours, then finally got directed to the conference room and fed snacks at 4PM.

The OIC later walks in and asks: “What are your plans after internship?”
Ladies and gentlemen… 60 out of 83 interns were relocating to Brazil, UK, USA, Canada, France, Netherlands Mexico, Dubai, Australia!

One girl (whose dad brought her in a Naval Chopper) said she won’t be practising for now, cause she had to tour 25 countries before her 25th birthday.

The rest of us just whispered “NYSC” like we were confessing sins 😂😂

As we dragged our feet back to the interns’ lodge by 6PM, it hit me:
“I have to make money in this life.”

I knew most of them were Nepo babies, but darn! I swore for two weeks straight, that I’ll never be poor.

Fast forward to three years later, na only 3400 naira dey my account.😭🤣🤣
But that hunger? It’s still burning!

@healthertainer Facts

[Dr Kelechi Okoro | Ebonyi Babe @healthertainer]

SEX IS NOT ONLY FOR MARRIED COUPLES!

But make it safe.

if sexually active adults choose to have sex, they do so safely, responsibly, and with informed consent.

Use protection. Prevent sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Prevent unplanned pregnancies. Get tested regularly. Understand consent. Communicate openly with your partner.

Also, not everyone will eventually get married. Are we saying those people should never have a healthy sexual life because they remain unmarried? Medicine has to provide guidance for real people in real life, not just ideal scenarios.

Another point people rarely discuss is sexual compatibility. While sex is not the only determinant of a successful marriage, it is an important aspect of many relationships. Differences in libido, sexual preferences, expectations, pain during sex, erectile dysfunction, vaginismus, infertility concerns, and other sexual health issues can significantly affect marital satisfaction. Knowing these things before making a lifelong commitment is a valid consideration for many couples.

Before anyone comes here with morality lectures…

I am a doctor, not your mummy G.O

This is a clinic, not a church.

My job is to give evidence-based medical advice that reduces harm and promotes health not to determine your religious or moral beliefs.

If you’re asking, “How do I protect my health if I choose to have sex?”that’s my lane.

This professional advice.

If you want spiritual advice, please contact your spiritual leaders not me. Selah
