I spent 4 years paying my younger sister’s school fees. Every single kobo.

The day she graduated, she gave the acknowledgement speech and thanked everyone except me.

I sat in that hall and felt my soul leave my body 😭.

When she got admission, things were tight at home.

I had just started my first job.

I told our parents, "Don't worry. I’ll handle it." And I did.

Every semester. No breaks.

There were months I was eating 0-1-0 so her account wouldn't run dry.

I never told her. I didn't think I needed to.

Graduation day, she looked beautiful. The first graduate in our family.

I was prouder of her than I’ve ever been of myself.

Then she got the mic.

> She thanked God. (Fair).
> She thanked our parents. (Expected).
> She thanked her friends who kept her sane.
> She even thanked her HOD.

Then she sat down.

My mother looked at me. I smiled and looked away, but the clapping felt like it was happening in a different room.

I didn’t say anything that day. Or the week after.

But something in how I moved changed.

I stopped volunteering. Started waiting to be asked. Started noticing who actually noticed me.

People say, "Don’t give to be recognized." I agree to an extent.

But there is a thin line between not needing applause and being erased by the person you bled for.

That's not humility. That's invisibility.

We’re fine now. I brought it up six months later, calmly.

She cried, and said she was nervous and blanked.

Maybe. Maybe not 🤷

But I learned something either way.

Sacrifice without communication creates invisible resentment.

Tell people what you are carrying for them. Not to guilt trip them. But because silence makes martyrs, and martyrs make bitter people.

This same dynamic shows up in dating every day.

You’re playing the provider or the supporter in silence, while your partner thinks you're just an oil money that never runs dry.

Stop accepting the bare minimum of gratitude. If they don't see the sacrifice, they won't value the person making it.

Has someone ever made you feel invisible in a relationship after everything you did for them?
Let’s talk below.👇

Whenever I see “Internal medicine is just endless ward rounds/continue management ,” I can almost tell the person has only experienced one version of it (mostly the +234 axis)..

Before I relocated, I swore I’d never specialise in Internal Medicine.

My first NHS job changed everything.
Internal Medicine isn’t passive. It’s fast, time-sensitive decisions. Wide pathology. Real-time interventions.

For instance , what most people casually see as “just a machine” known as the defibrillator is something I’ve used on multiple occasions to change the trajectory of a patient’s life.
⬇️
I’ve delivered shocks in cardiac arrest, initiated pacing in unstable bradycardia, and performed cardioversion for life-threatening arrhythmias.

Location shapes exposure. Exposure shapes confidence. Confidence shapes career choices.

If you’re undecided about your specialty, here are a few things that might help:
1.Don’t judge a specialty based on one system. Exposure in a different healthcare environment can completely change your perception.
https://t.co/qYOlN5XeBd attention to what energises you during on-calls. Do you enjoy acute decision-making? Procedures? Complex diagnostics?
3.Reflect on your natural strengths. Are you drawn to pattern recognition and physiology? Or continuity and long-term management?
https://t.co/tpwCgqhwCb hands-on experience before ruling something out. What you fear might be what you haven’t fully experienced.
5.Choose based on the life you want long-term, not just the rotation you’re currently in.

Lo and behold!

[DR AFO @Dr_Afo]

I see OAUTHC has joined the bandwagon of THS recruiting resident doctors without primaries because of the shortages.
Everyone is feeling the heat.
I'm sure almighty UCH and LUTH would never stoop so low though.

[LARA ADEJORO @AdejoroLara]

Doctors, get involved in politics.Those who understand d challenges of healthcare shud av a voice in shaping d policies. If u're absent 4rm political decision-making, those who lack insight into d realities of d practice will dictate how d healthcare system is run @nard_nigeria

Let the record reflect that these are the school girls that were kidnapped in Kebbi state

All of them are Muslims. Save and archive, because tomorrow we can wake up and these dangerous idiots on social media will tell us they’re Christian girls

We are not ‘a militancy’ Prof Sir
@nard_nigeria Day 22 of #NARDTICS

[NARD @nard_nigeria]

DAY 22 OF OPERATION TICS

Dear Nigerians,

They called your doctors militants

But is it militancy to ask for light in hospitals?
To demand working equipment?
To request fair pay for work already done?
To refuse silent acceptance of a collapsing health system?

If standing for your right to live…
If demanding safe hospitals…
If rejecting neglect…
makes us militant,

Then we are militants for humanity.
Militants for life.
Militants for a better Nigeria.

We remain peaceful.
We remain resolute.

Stand with us. Demand better.
Hold your leaders accountable.

DAY 19 OF OPERATION TICS

NINETEEN DAYS OF RESISTANCE. NINETEEN DAYS OF HOPE.

Dear Nigerians,

We’re Tired But Not Broken.

For 19 days, Nigerian doctors have stood firm , not for privilege, but for purpose.
We fight for working hospitals, fair treatment, and a future where doctors stay and patients survive.

This is not just a strike,
It’s a stand for the soul of our healthcare.

We will not give up.
We will not give in.
We will keep standing for you.

They did everything right apart from being poor
Never missed an antenatal visit
But baby came out flat
Resuscitation brought APGAR to 5
But baby needs CPAP and NICU urgently
Admission fee 300k
Or referral but ambulance wants 50k to move
No assurance of bed space

Dear Muslims, sisters, and brothers,, I beg you to listen and REPOST this tirelessly: this is the actual truth about what is going on in Nigeria - there is no Christian genocide in Nigeria.

HELP US SPREAD THE TRUTH.

Thank you @bulamabukarti 🙏

Many people go to public hospitals and insist on admission to the amenity ward not because they're looking for luxury (obviously) but because the general wards often strip patients of dignity and honor from decades of neglect.. I can't remember the last time I walked into a public hospital that had simple curtain partitioning or inspected the convenience and found it fit for basic human decency.

These moments of indignity that patients suffer is completely unnecessary. We need to restore pride to public service, decency to healthcare contact. We insist on dignity for our patients even as they come to us in situations that force them to accept whatever is available.
Fix our hospitals. #FixHealthcareInNigeria

[Olúwatósìn Olaseinde @tosinolaseinde]

I’ve been watching the #ResidentDoctors strike and we all need to lend our voice. For over two weeks, NARD doctors have withdrawn their services — and the government still hasn’t fully answered.

These aren’t petty demands. NARD says N38 billion is owed in unpaid salaries and allowances. Resident doctors are the backbone of public hospitals — yet their welfare keeps being ignored.

According to NARD, only 2 of 19 demands have received “progress.”

At UCH (Ibadan) — a premier teaching hospital — resident doctors have fully complied. Consultants are trying to manage, but it’s not a sustainable solution.

These doctors are not striking to be difficult. They’re striking because conditions are untenable: low pay, high work pressure, no long-term security.

The president has now directed the Health Ministry to act, but NARD insists their 19-point demand must be fully met. Partial payouts or half-measures won’t cut it.

As someone who cares about long-term sustainability, I know this matters: A broken health system isn’t just a loss for doctors — it’s a loss for all of us.

@nard_nigeria deserves more than lip service. They deserve real, lasting reform. This is not just a strike — it’s a fight for justice, dignity, and healthcare for every Nigerian.

I’m calling on fellow Nigerians, public servants, and every leader who can influence this: Stand with them. Amplify their voice. Push for a resolution that lasts, not a band-aid fix.

To @nard_nigeria — your cause matters..
We stand with you.

And of course, it's Nurse Rose's fault
Not the local government chairman, not the commissioner of health, not the minister.
Not the shitty government that failed to support the hospital.
May God help all the Nurse Rose out there.

[victoria orenze @victoriaorenze]

My Nigeria 🇳🇬

Doctors are on strike nationwide due to unpaid salary and arrears, poor working condition and environment, salary structures not adjusted, people are not treated, people are suffering and dying and there is suppose to be a government, there is supposed to be senate, National Assembly in this country right???

How wicked can the men in power be??

When I say pharaohs don’t know how to let go and only God delivers from the hands of pharaohs, it’s clearer by the day.

You refuse to prioritise the well being, health, security, education to mention a few of the people you lead.
There is no way you will not get the reward of the wickedness you are sowing. Unfortunately it doesn’t stop with you, what you sow, you generation unborn will reap it if the Lord tarries. You are destroying their future already.
Nigerian 🇳🇬 government, Nigerian 🇳🇬 leaders, you have refused to repent and I pity you!
