Until a man get pregnant and carries a child in his womb for 9 months, men's contribution about how women should look during pregnancy holds no weight.
One day, our names will be announced for Janazah prayer, and the chapter of our worldly life will close forever.
May Allah grant us husnul khatimah, and make Shahadah our final words. Ameen
Aviation union goes on strike, Citizens - No problem.
PHCN goes on strike ,Citizens - No problem.
ASUU goes on Strike, Citizens - No problem .
Doctors go on strike, Citizens - Doctors are wicked and heartless people.
But when Doctors complain everybody suddenly goes deaf .
A patient’s wife called me “nurse” today
The other patients in the ward corrected her and told her “madam na doctor o”
That’s good everybody is learning
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors should not have to beg for what has already been agreed upon. The Federal Government signed a deal on the Professional Allowance Table, and now it wants to abandon it. This is not governance; it is betrayal.
Our resident doctors are the last line of defence in hospitals that are already collapsing. They work gruelling hours, in impossible conditions, for pay that insults their sacrifice. And now, the government seeks to take away the little that was promised? The Tinubu administration must demonstrate commitment to the issues: 19 months of unpaid Professional Allowance arrears; promotion arrears gathering dust; a Medical Residency Training Fund stuck in bureaucratic limbo; and a government that treats its doctors as an afterthought and remains unconcerned as they flee the country in droves.
Every doctor Nigeria loses to the UK, Canada, or Saudi Arabia is a failure of leadership, not a failure of patriotism. You cannot ask people to serve a nation that refuses to honour its own word.
I stand with NARD. Pay what you owe. Honour what you signed. Or explain to 200 million Nigerians why their hospitals will go dark on Tuesday. -AA
Why no one is talking about the fact that even with these fuel prices doctors have to come to hospitals 6 days a week sometimes sundays too without any compensation or increments ??!!
COUNTDOWN: 24 HOURS TO FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF THE NARD–FGN MoU
A FINAL CALL TO ALL NIGERIANS

- Collapses tertiary hospitals
- Increase brain drain

I was on call on Christmas Day. I will be on call again on New Year's Eve.
My time is already not my own. I'd be damned if anyone comes to tell me I shouldn't feel entitled to higher pay.
Healthcare workers do not have average lives. We should NOT have average pay.
Highest requirements to get into Uni
Longest years in Uni
Hardest course in Uni
Hardest to graduate
Shittiest working hours
Most demanding job
But we draw the line at asking for highest pay
The way Dangote is defeating petrol issue in Nigeria, may we have another person who will defeat electricity problem and deal with all the sabotage.
Call it monopoly. We like it, if it brings stable electricity.
I shed tears of pain two weeks ago, the first time this year. I do not recall crying last year.
My good friend and colleague, Justice John (@legalbreed01), lost his wife, Mrs. Akudo Lovelyn John, in a very questionable circumstance.
I attended their civil wedding a year ago, precisely on Wednesday, 18th December, 2024.
Justice and I have been good friends since we met in the Nigerian Law School, Lagos Campus.
My friend, Justice, is seeking justice.
Below is the personal account of the tragic death as written by Justice .
THE AGONY OF LOSING MY BELOVED AND NEWLY WEDDED WIFE AT GYNESCOPE SPECIALIST HOSPITAL, LEKKI
My wife went to Gynescope Specialist Hospital, Lekki for childbirth and died from mismanaged Primary Postpartum Hemorrhage (PPH). The same hospital where she registered and had her antenatal care without any underlying illness.
In her third trimester, during one of the antenatal visits, the Consultant and attending doctor, Dr. Joseph Aliyu Yahaya, disclosed the considerable size of the baby. We raised concerns regarding safe delivery options and the possibility of an elective Cesarean Section (CS) owing to the fetal size. The Consultant dismissed CS and insisted on SVD.
On Wednesday, 3rd December 2025, my wife went into labour. The Consultant performed episiotomy on my her, and our baby was delivered weighing 4.2KG. Immediately after delivery, the consultant left the labour ward and my wife’s episiorrhaphy was done by his subordinate.
My wife complained of a dripping sensation inside her body. After observation, the Consultant noted that the vulva was unusually swollen and the sutures were too tight. The Consultant re-sutured her. After this second procedure, my wife looked lifeless, pale, and unconscious for hours, while the bleeding continued unabated.
The Consultant confirmed she was bleeding internally yet took no active steps in referring or seeking specialist help outside the primary facility. There was a clear 15-hour window between the delivery of our baby and my wife’s eventual passing. Blood transfusion was done without first identifying and repairing the source of bleeding.
At about 3:00 a.m. on Thursday, 4th December 2025, my wife complained of discomfort and began convulsing. It is important to note that at this critical moment, no medical personnel were in sight. Minutes after I screamed for help, doctors and nurses arrived from the ground floor. There was notably no oxygen in the ward where my wife was admitted. At this time, I requested for a transfer of my wife to another facility, but the Consultant said no facility would accept her without a pulse. Minutes later, the Consultant then agreed for her to be moved.
MY OBSERVATIONS DURING THE EVACUATION OF MY WIFE
Firstly, the Hospital brought a stretcher without side guards or straps to evacuate my wife. While moving her, she fell off the stretcher onto the hard floor of the tiled walkway on the 3rd floor. (I have challenged the Hospital to release the undoctored CCTV footage of the 3rd floor showing when my wife was being stretched out in the early hours of Thursday, 4th December 2025). I rushed to help lift her back up. The staff seemed confused about whether to use the stairs or elevator, thereby wasting valuable time during such an emergency.
Secondly, upon reaching the ground floor, I expected the ambulance to be positioned at the entrance of the hospital door, ready to receive her. Sadly, the ambulance was stationed about 80 metres away, still covered in a tarpaulin showing no readiness. Only then was the cover removed. When I asked the driver to open the ambulance, I heard the most shocking thing - the keys were with Human Resources (HR) Manager. It took considerable time to retrieve the keys. When the driver finally opened the bus, he stated he needed to connect the battery. Throughout this chaos, my wife lay in the open on a stretcher, unattended and without oxygen.
