How many Igbo names can you see here?
I promise you all, we will dominate you and the world.
You see that Igbo domination your parents cried about, we are here to make your fears REAL
The wait is over.
We have 2 golds: Chimdiebube Onwubiko and Don Anele Munachimso.
We are the best in the world!
Egejurum Onyedikachi’s name was omitted. He should have a gold.
Dear Blessing,
I just came across your tweet, and it truly inspired me.
To graduate with a First Class in Mathematics from UNILORIN and then earn a fully funded Master's admission in Italy is an extraordinary achievement. You have demonstrated excellence and the promise that exists in so many young Nigerians.
No young person who has worked this hard should have such an opportunity limited by the cost of getting there. It would be my privilege to support your journey by covering what is left in the cost of your relocation.
@nancy_i_i from my office will reach out to you today.
Congratulations once again. Go, excel, and continue to make Nigeria proud.

Yes people’s perception are based on their experience and knowledge and it doesn’t make it a fact, I agree 100%
However such perception should be kept within the confinement of the institution in question.
Taking it to a public platform such as ‘X’ that is already known for taking bad about doctors to make your juniors look bad, scapegoating them, in the face of even non-medical doctors will surely be met with fierce rebuttals from the affected demography so I don’t blame the HOs for responding the way they did.
I agree with your first and second paragraph but disagrees with your last statement.
Where you missed the point is, she being a Reg knowing fulling well that laziness is found at all cadre decides to pin it on the HO( the easiest targets). I haven’t seen an SR coming on a public platforms to disparage the Regs, tagging a lot of the Regs lazy so why should she do that to HO. We shouldn’t be defending an obvious wrong move.
She didn’t even say “some of” but instead said “a lot of” meaning only a few HOs are hardworking.
If you don’t see a problem with that, then we have to agree to disagree
Besides I assume she said that to farm engagement for Elon musk money, I hope she gets a good pay though.
