You baboons are in the qts talking about “marry a rich partner” or “don’t give birth if you’re not financially ready,” when the real blame should be on the useless government that has failed to provide basic, humane healthcare.
In medical school, we had an adjunct lecturer for neuroanatomy, I think he came from UCH or unilorin, I'm not so sure.
This man made neuroanatomy so simple for us and most of the class passed with flying colours.
It was during MBBS when I was revising that I found out neuroanatomy is actually very hard.
My juniors not fit relate because they had a different lecturer.
@Peace_Makarr can relate.
Can’t totally fault people who resort to dating apps or matchmaking pages to find partners.
Once you miss university.
Miss NYSC.
Miss church gatherings or Islamic gatherings.
Don’t want to date your work colleagues.
Neighbor is a no go area.
Your best bet is either through social media, family and friends matchmaking, arranged marriage or you download your partner from heaven. If you’re an introvert that means you will sleep there.
It gets worse
Many Hausa people don’t know God’s name in Hausa, they always say it’s Allah, but it’s actually Ubangiji.
Islam really erased their identity.
In 2017, only 30 something percent of us passed.
Not because the people that failed were not intelligent, but because the exam had no structure, no scope.
It was also a fail one section, fail all the exam then.
As someone who had written licensing exams in 4 different countries where their doctors are respected globally, I can say Nigeria is the Worst.
For the objective, I believed I pulled through because I made friends with final year medical student of University of ilorin- we wrote the exam in Ilorin. I reviewed their syllabus. A lot of their past questions was repeated because it was their lecturers teaching us that set the questions.
Based on what we were taught, that exam was abstract.
Also I need to add that I probably passed because I understood how the system works, because I had a degree in Nigeria earlier.
The reviewing of past questions is Illegal in other countries. They don’t give them their exam questions to go home with.
So someone that never had a university experience in Nigeria won’t even think of that.
The oral was one question, if you fail it, you’ve failed the whole exam
The OSSCE was also 1 question in parts; you don’t know the diagnosis, you’ve failed it all.
In other countries I’ve been to, when a large percentage of people fail an exam, it’s a call for review of the exam and the processes to see what’s wrong.
In Nigeria, people failing makes the examiners think they’ve done an amazing job.
There’s a lot of things wrong with that country and I’m glad I could take a fresh breath.
PS: A number of people that failed Nigeria Medical IMG exam passed USMLE 3 steps within 6 months.
They weren’t the problem, the system they were trying to excel in was.
I can never forget the day I went 24 hours without eating anything. It was horrible and I was feeling like I want to die. Now imagine those toddlers in the bush without proper hygiene and food to eat and nourish them💔💔
