The third world isn't a place, it's a people.
Third world countries exist because they are full of third world people.
If you send every German to Nigeria and every Nigerian to Germany, in 5 years, Nigeria will become a civilized nation and Germany will become a third world.
Everyone on earth has had situations where they called on God for something and he didn’t come through…
Yet, everyone believes the phrase
“My God never fails”
Can someone try explain the conscious self-deceit to me pls ?
Woke up this morning thinking about the quality of life I’m living in this country, literally all my life I’ve been conditioned to live this way, this isn’t the life meant for me as Nigerian.
In the last 48 hrs I’ve not had light for close to 2hrs, dawg this isn’t life… me and my flatmates been burning money on fuel, it’s crazy, can’t cook cos there’s no light to even store the food.
I have been house hunting since September and all I have been seeing is stupid houses with ridiculous prices, no way I’m going to be paying millions of naira on bare minimum apartments.
Jesus Christ, one of my friends wey japa go UK for January him qualify of life don change, you don’t even need to tell me I can see it from his IG stories, I’m here shirtless while typing this stupid tweet blowing myself with my shirt cos heat wan kill me.
Today I’ll go to work and come back and meet no light still and think of buying fuel for another 900 naira per liter, do you know how insane that is, my dad already had me at this age and already building his own house.
Fuck Nigeria mehn, I’m not the type to crash out but I woke up thinking about the quality of life I’m living and it’s so fucking sad. Fuck all of you involved in this shit hole of a county, I fucking hate you all. Fuck APC too, Fuck me & Fuck U too cos we are way too scared to demand a better life for us and for our unborn kids.
I’m not asking for too much just the basic things dawg, the fucking basic things to live a comfortable life, why can’t my own country government give me that, do I have to Japa, how many people fit japa. We really gotta make things work mehn cos this country is damaged.
I'm +1 today.
Infact I just reached a significant milestone.
I know I should be happy, like feeling YAY! that I added one year to my life.
I'm a medical doctor, about to be licensed in two countries, a husband and a father.
But I don't feel shit.
I'm dead inside.
I feel like a rat trapped in a cage.
Or is it because I'm a well-dressed rat trapped in a big cage?
🤔🤔🤔
I wake up everyday to go do work I don't enjoy and can't wait to leave.
Imagine not feeling at home in your father's land and living only for the day you Japa to a White man's land
😂😂😂
Savings lives should excite me, because funny enough I'm actually good at it, but these days it pisses me off.
What hasn't man tried?
Anyway as they say, nobody knows you've tried unless you show results..
But we won't stop because na who give up, fuck up.
Anyway chiefs, sorry for making you read my birthday rant abeg this earning morning.
Happy birthday to me.
YAY.
It is with deep sorrow and submission to God’s will that we announce the passing of our dear colleague, Dr. Akujobi Carrington, House Officer in the Department of Surgery.
This is a heartbreaking loss to our community. Dr. Carrington was one of us — committed, hardworking,
This isn’t a random scientist who got lucky.
Mariano Barbacid discovered the first human oncogene in 1982. He isolated H-RAS from bladder cancer cells and proved a single point mutation could trigger cancer. That finding launched the entire field of molecular oncology.
KRAS mutations cause 90% of pancreatic cancers. For 43 years, oncologists called KRAS “undruggable” because the protein had no obvious binding pocket. Barbacid spent the last decade using genetically engineered mice to systematically test every node in the KRAS signaling pathway, looking for combinations that would work without killing the patient.
The triple therapy blocks KRAS three ways at once: the main growth signal, the escape routes through EGFR and HER2, and the stress-response backup through STAT3. Cut the engine, seal the exits, disable the emergency system. Tumors vanished in mice and didn’t return for 200+ days after treatment stopped.
Pancreatic cancer has a 13% five-year survival rate. 8% for the ductal adenocarcinoma type this therapy targets. Most patients live one year after diagnosis.
The catch: this is preclinical. Human trials are 3+ years away. One of the drugs, RMC-6236, might get approved this year, but the full triple combination has regulatory hurdles.
Still. The man who discovered human oncogenes in 1982 may have just figured out how to eliminate the cancer those genes cause. That’s a 43-year arc from first principles to potential cure. Science rarely works this clean.
