Madeira, Manchester, Madrid, Turin, and Manchester again.
Wreathed in red.
Restored to this great gallery of the game. A walking work of art.
Vintage. Beyond valuation, beyond forgery or imitation.
18 years since that trembling teenager of touch and tease first tiptoed onto this storied stage. Now in his immaculate maturity. CR7 reunited!
Nah!!!! Nahhh! There isn’t a greater footballer anywhere…
*NECROLOGY*
Dear NARDites,
It is with profound sadness that, on behalf of *Dr. OGAR Emmanuel Idoko, POTNARD XLVI-led NARD*, we announce the passing of our dear colleague, *Dr. Hadiya Usman Abdullahi, a Medical Officer in the Department of Haematology, Federal Medical Centre (FMC), Nguru, following a brief illness.*
Her untimely demise is a profound loss to ARD, FMC, Nguru, her family, the entire hospital community and the entire NARD. Her contributions to the medical profession and her interactions with colleagues will be deeply remembered.
We extend our heartfelt condolences to her family, colleagues, friends, and loved ones at this difficult time. We pray that Almighty Allah forgives her shortcomings, grants her Jannatul Firdaus, and grants her family, colleagues, and all of us the fortitude and patience to bear this painful loss.
May Almighty Allah grant her eternal rest and admit her into Jannatul Firdaus. Ameen.

Congratulations My President, My Elder brother and a Mentor @mohagirei on the completion of your tenure, indeed you have given many of us hope on health care reforms.
You are indeed worth emulating.
We will keep praying for your likes.

Another one bites the dust.
Earlier this year, Dr Dr. Andrew Orovwigho, a consultant psychiatrist was abducted and killed.
So far this year, we have lost two doctors, one a newly graduated to lassa fever complications.
We've lot several doctors to excessive workload.
Dr. Ibrahim Muhammad collapsed and died within ~15–30 minutes of arriving at a private hospital to see waiting patients.
We lost a resident to pregnancy related complications.
Today, Dr. Stephen Vanman is dead.
Stabbed. Robbed.
Murdered in Port Harcourt while simply trying to do a locum shift to make ends meet.
A doctor who left home to go and work, and never came back. That is the new normal in this country.
How many more doctors have to die before this nonsense stops?
How many more young men and women who spent years in medical school, housemanship, and endless unpaid or underpaid shifts must end up in the morgue because Nigeria cannot guarantee the basic safety of its citizens?
We already work in broken hospitals with no equipment, no power, no drugs, and salaries that insult the profession.
Now we cannot even leave the house for a call without calculating the risk of being kidnapped, robbed, or killed.
The landscape is completely and utterly useless.
Security is a joke.
The country is just hell in disguise.
Police response is a joke. Leadership is a joke. Rivers State failed him.
Port Harcourt failed him.
Nigeria failed him.
The same country that will cry “we need more doctors” is the same one that watches them get slaughtered on the way to work like Christmas chicken.
This is why people are leaving.
It is not just about money.
It is about the basic human desire to leave home in the morning and return alive at night.
When a doctor has to do locum shifts just to survive and still gets murdered for it, what exactly are we building here?
The future of healthcare in Nigeria is a joke. We train them, overwork them, underpay them, expose them to danger, and then act surprised when the best ones leave or die.
The ones who remain are expected to keep smiling and “serving the nation” while the system treats their lives as disposable.
Rest in peace, Dr. Stephen Vanman.
Your only crime was choosing a profession dedicated to saving lives in a country that does not value life.
This is not just a joke. It is a national disgrace.
@oliveKubmite Medical doctors might not know all, but when it comes to clinical evaluation they will always be ahead.
If the ANP was thinking of constipation which is highly unlikely, what else could it be? Like there's no DDX, nothing comes to mind again only constipation?! Omo...
@MoR3N_md@fueki_lee As simple as it is. Solve the problem within your circle as a team. Don't come here and make a blanket statement about HOs. we have seen lazy regs too. It's high time we stopped generalising matters.
@MedNorms Now, this is a more balanced take.
Laziness cuts across all cadres and not a HOs thing alone, it makes it even worse when one generalises it.
If anyone has a problem with his HOs let them address the matter and not generalising it, abeg.
