I did 14 months of house job in Lagos without pay.
When we went on strike, they paid 8 months and reported us to MDCN.
The hospital also refused to sign me off.
My NYSC was delayed by 7 months.
I worked & saved for 7 years, wrote my exams, and relocated to the UK.
6 months salary in the UK was more than ALL my salaries in Nigeria COMBINED.
Nigeria treats her Doctors poorly. Period
In a game full of ego, Olise chose to stand by the people who stand by him ❤️
About a month ago, Olise deleted all his photos on Instagram. People thought he was putting pressure on Bayern Munich’s management after the media started talking about Real Madrid’s interest. But the story turned out to be something else entirely.
Olise has a private photographer named Florence Pernet who attends all his matches with him and takes special photos that are different from what the other journalists shoot. He always posts only her photos on his Instagram. The thing is, during the World Cup, the U.S. authorities refused her entry.
As a result, Olise decided to delete everything. In support of her, he chose not to post anything on his account except the photos she takes from the TV screen. If you open his account now, you’ll see that all the photos look like they were taken from a screen — not live shots.
She’s sitting at home, respected and well taken care of, watching him on the television and photographing the screen. And the player, in turn, completely ignores all the high-quality 4K photos and fancy professional shots that are taken for him — he only posts hers.
Honestly, after this whole situation, my respect and admiration for Olise has grown even more. Bless his parents for raising such a decent, grounded guy who never forgets anyone who works with him and always has their back ❤️
Cannot explain why, but posts like these fall into the category of Schrodinger's Tweet. The outcomes they foretell only actually come true if you did not see the post beforehand.
Chimdiebube Onwubiko won a gold medal at the International STEM Olympiad.
He is just 13 years old and currently in JSS3. He has finished _Engineering Mathematics_ by K.A. Stroud.
He has now proven himself on the world stage.
My cousin also won two medals in the coding section of the ISTEM Olympiad. Uwaoma Ekeagbara, from Ambassador’s College, Ota.
You guys don’t understand how good of a weekend this has been for me. 🚀🚀🚀
The racist, dehumanising remarks against @KMbappe by Paraguayan Sen. Celeste Amarilla are despicable, regrettably not isolated.
States & sports organisations must prevent acts of racism & discrimination, and ensure independent and effective accountability. Social media must also prevent and address racial discrimination on their platforms.

@theMadridZone Banter aside, but this is a disgusting racism from a public official. Kylian Mbappe deserves better. No place for RACISM IN FOOTBALL ⚽🇫🇷
