I definitely want you to send me a filtered selfie, only time I want to see the unfiltered version is if you’re waking up next to me in the morning.

Hey liar,

These are the last words of the prophet (peace be upon him):

Right before he passed away, his final advice to the people was about keeping up with prayer and taking care of the vulnerable.

He kept repeating, "The prayer, the prayer, and fear Allah concerning those whom your right hands possess."

Then in his very last breath, he looked up and said, "O Allah, with the Highest Companion."

In his last breath, he focused on the most important things. Guard your connection with God, and be good to the people under you.

You are a foolish liar. Get a life.

WHY EVERYONE LOVES MIRIA MATEMBE:
——————————————————
See, Dr. Miria Matembe reminds almost everyone of their mother; the typical African Mother. Unpredictable, Fearless, Risky, Hilarious, in between being Mean and being Angelic.
-The kind of mother you ask after eating, “Mummy where should I put the plate,?” And she says, “Put it on my head.”
-The kind of mother who hears/sees you break a glass plate and gives you another ten plates saying, “Break these ones too, we no longer need them.”
-The kind of mother who attempts to slap your face and when you protect your face with your hands, she calls her brothers (your uncles) and says, “If you fine me dead just know your nephew finished me; isn’t he the one who now has beards and a deep voice?”
-That mother who would beat you blue black but should any teacher beat you at school, the headmaster, teacher on duty, bursar and Askari would have to leave the country until she stops coming to school to ask, “Who wanted to kill my child.”
-The kind of mother who would see you accept a piece of meat from the visitor and give you that look with a pointed mouth-the look that would make you go to wash plates, mop the toilets and slash the compound at night without being told to.
-A disciplinarian with unmatched motherly love, a pillar in her family, the one who keeps the home together and the one who praises God like they have ever met face to face.
That’s why we love Miria Matembe. We see our mothers in her.

Many Christians obviously do not know how we Muslims hold our prayers dearly. For someone like me, if I haven’t prayed, nothing makes sense anymore until I find a way to pray.

This takes me back to 2019 during our project in Cadbury PLC in Ikeja. I had an Igbo boss, and I was the only Muslim in the company. Anytime I told him I wanted to go and pray, he would frown. Not that he would say I shouldn’t go o, but he would be like "again?" 😅

He asked me one day; "How many time you na dey pray per day?" I told him five times, and he was like: "Wetin happen?" 😅

So one day, he did a setting out on site, and the representative of Cadbury was coming to check it. He received a call from the office that if there was any complaint on that job, he would be fired.

That’s how Oga came to meet me in my office.

Oga: How far Engr.
Me: I am good sir.
Oga: That your prayer wey you dey pray, when he go start?
Me: I was shocked. Abi oga smoke something 😅🤣. It’s not yet time.
Oga: Please na, can’t you pray before time.
Me: We don’t pray before time. What happened?
Oga: They called me from the office now that the setting out we did must be accepted or else, we would be in trouble.
Me: God will help us.
Oga: Please help me beg Allah o.
Me: I burst into laughter 🤣🤣🤣. So I prayed for him and he said Amen to all the prayers. Imagine.

That’s how the representative came and there was no problem. He was happy. Guess who went back to his old ways? My oga 😅

This situation made me remember the verse in Surah Yunus instead, where Allah says:

وَإِذَا مَسَّ الْإِنْسَانَ الضُّرُّ دَعَانَا لِجَنْبِهِ أَوْ قَاعِدًا أَوْ قَائِمًا فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُ ضُرَّهُ مَرَّ كَأَنْ لَمْ يَدْعُنَا إِلَىٰ ضُرٍّ مَسَّهُ
"And when affliction touches man, he calls Upon Us, whether on his side or sitting or standing; but when We remove from him his affliction, he continues on his way as if he had never called Upon Us for an affliction that touched him."

May the Almighty continue to preserve us upon Islam.

Allah knows best.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

You need to do two things: fear Allah and seek knowledge, because you need it way more than Dangote does.

If not for cheap engagement, why would anyone not know there are several reasons why his hands may be down in a photo?

1. A photo is just a single frozen frame. He could have raised the finger a second before or after the camera clicked.

2. Different schools of thought have different timings for it. Some jurists state you only raise it for a specific phrase and drop it back down.

3. Moving the finger is a Sunnah act. It is not a mandatory pillar that invalidates the prayer if left out.

Fear Allah. Twitter engagements won’t save you.

[A.Y.O @YusufAsunmogejo]

You better do. This is the end of the stupid
antinatalism and hyper-individualism philosophy you all championed. You people championed a philosophy that treated kids as a lifestyle burden and glorified total isolation as freedom.

Now that your youthful ego is clearing, the silence of your empty space is haunting you. You are foolish. It is never too late though, but how I wish you weren’t foolish in the past.

This man spoke on behalf of many men in the world

[Dr. Oriba Dan Langoya @DrOribaDan]

In Memory of Dr. Mathew Lukwiya

In his final hours, he spoke to Sister Apio Anyai Angioletta, the paediatric nurse who had known him for years. She would later remember his exact words.
"Sister, things are worsening. I have tried to fight. The battle is almost over. Now I am seeing that I am also going. The time has come for me to go. That I know. I am going. But if I go, I will be at the doorway. Nobody is going to die now. I will tell my God that enough is enough."

Then he began to sing a hymn about war. Everyone in the room broke down. Sister Apio replied, "No, doctor, it will not be like that." But it was. On December 4th his breathing briefly stabilised. Later that evening his lungs began to haemorrhage. He died at 1:20am on December 5th, 2000.

He was buried at 4pm the same day. The coffin was sprayed with Jik bleach as it was lowered. Margaret asked if she could see him one last time and was refused. The body was considered too infectious.

He was placed in a grave he had chosen himself while he was dying, at the Grotto inside the hospital grounds, beside Dr. Lucille Teasdale and later Piero Corti. Teasdale had died in 1996 of AIDS, contracted while operating on an HIV-positive patient.
The student was buried beside his mentors.

And then something extraordinary happened. After Lukwiya's death, every remaining Ebola patient at Lacor survived. Not another single person died at the hospital. Sister Apio remembered the promise he had made on his deathbed: "I will tell my God that enough is enough." It is the kind of detail you would not believe if you read it in a novel.

By the time the WHO declared Uganda Ebola-free on February 6th, 2001, 425 confirmed and probable cases had been recorded, and 224 Ugandans had died, including thirteen health workers from Lacor alone.

The survival rate during the outbreak was nearly 50%, compared to as low as 10% in previous African outbreaks, largely because of the systems Lukwiya had built before anyone else even knew what was happening.

This is what the mainstream story leaves out. The intern who refused a teaching job in England. The doctor who walked into the bush instead of the nuns. The administrator who turned the hospital into a shelter for nine thousand people, most of them children, every night.

The Acholi son of a smuggler who topped his country in school, won the John Hay Prize at Liverpool, and still chose Gulu over everything else. By the time he made that final speech to his nurses, the heroism was already the entire shape of his life. The Ebola work only made it public.

Happy Heroes Day, Dr Matthew and all healthcare workers who sacrifice more than they should have to! #HeroesDay

“Wrong move not to pay intern doctors at a time we have Ebola.” - Dr. Ekwaro Obuku

We must remember the sacrifice of Dr. Muhammad Ali, a KIU MMed Surgery Resident who lost his life during the September 2022 Ebola outbreak

His story reminds us that residency & medical internship in medicine is not classroom theory. It is life-and-death work. It is frontline service. It is exposure to infectious diseases, emergency care, trauma, and immense responsibility.

If doctors in training are trusted to care for Ebola patients, respond to emergencies, and carry the burden of patient care, then they deserve recognition, protection, and support.

[Dr. Sserunjogi Emma @DrSerunjogiEmma]

Thanks to all non medical institutions, tweeps and activists for joining the medical interns' plea.

It's the Uganda we believe in, where we all feel each others pain, even when it benefits you or doesn't.

There's a silver lining after all.🙏🙏🙏

[Dr. Joseph Nsamba @JosephNsamba40]

World wide, medical interns are paid. I wonder what’s happening to Uganda. It’s even surprising that we have to plead to pay us the already p-nuts enumeration. Nonetheless it’s a ripple effect and if actualized, my unable aunt in the village in masaka will unfortunately suffer!

[Mukula @mukulaa]

Uganda’s proposed medical education and internship reforms deserve careful reconsideration. Medical training and healthcare are pillars of human development, and Makerere Medical School remains one of Africa’s finest institutions, renowned for tropical medicine. Intern doctors bridge critical staffing gaps in our hospitals; withdrawing their financial support risks worsening workforce shortages, delaying training, increasing costs, and weakening healthcare delivery. I urge President Museveni to intervene and protect Uganda’s health sector.

As a Senior Consultant, the reason I haven't raised my voice is simple:
When the interns are gone, I will gladly show up at 5AM, clerk 80 patients, draw the blood, and run the night calls myself.
I am superhuman. Obviously.

As a Senior Nursing Officer, the reason I am silent is obvious:
I have no problem running three wards alone, fixing lines, tracking vitals, delivering babies, doing the paperwork.
I don't need hands. I have dedication.

As a Policymaker, the reason I haven't spoken is elegant:
The interns are a budget problem I solved by terming the students.
My children are not doing internship in Uganda, after all.

As a Patient, the reason I haven't complained is clear:
Even if the doctor cutting me open has worked 36 hours without food, just cut me open and take the baby out.
Hunger sharpens the hands. Everyone knows this.

As a Citizen, the reason I am unbothered is rational:
None of my children is a medic.
I have my pastor.
The system runs on miracles. Always has.

This policy is brilliant.
Let's all stay quiet and watch the magic happen.

To every single Ugandan with a conscience:
Your silence is participation.

To every student in other professions:
Your silence is “it’s not my problem” syndrome.

To every elder, religious and cultural leader:
Your silence is a failure to protect the vulnerable patients.

To every intern who will suffer, every senior who will supervise, and every patient who will receive care:
Your silence is collective suicide.

This is not just about internship, it is about the soul of our nation.

We reject this policy completely.

Explainer: Doctor to Patient ratio in Uganda is 1:25,000, way below WHO recommendation of 1:1000. This is one doctor attending to more than half of the entire sitting capacity of Namboole stadium. Government’s new Medical Internship policy could make this worse, here’s how 👇🏾

[BenonSenior @BenonSenior1]

The payment of medical interns should not be a debate.
All countries pay their interns
Kenya pays close to 7m
Uganda @MinofHealthUG should pay 2.5m according to @KagutaMuseveni directives
And now they are here with their new fake policies.
