My name is Prudence, I'm a health writer and I just recently hit 50 followers on X.
This means so much to me, that 50 people here found me worthy of being followed. Thank you
I'm more than encouraged to keep showing up.
@MiracleAgitan_ It's not easy to stay consistent, when things aren't adding up. And people will often think you have things put together, but it's the desire not to remain where you are that's pushing you.
I have been writing every single day for 15+ years.
Here are the main things that ruin your daily writing habit:
1. Overthinking every topic
2. Reading more than you write
3. Perfectionism & endlessly editing
4. Not protecting your Sacred Hours
5. Drinking alcohol & not getting good sleep
Avoid as many of these as possible.
This new week.
Ensure you put yourself out there.
And yeah.. you might not be 100% everyday.
But even in your 10% please still put yourself out there.
Rooting for youπ
I GOT INDUCTED INTO THE MEDICAL PROFESSION ON THE 3RD OF NOVEMBER! πβ€οΈ
Being born with cerebral palsy has never stopped me from pursuing my lifelong dream of becoming a medical doctor.
Yes, I faced numerous challenges and setbacks, but I chose not to give up.
Speak to God with a sincerity of heart always.
Though it might look as if there's no hope. But learn to just speak to Him like a child.
You won't see the result immediately, but when He answers, it will look like a film trick.
You too will be shocked at how it happened.

I am pleased to announce that I have been awarded the prestigious Diana Award @DianaAward. The Diana Award is the highest recognition a young person can receive for social action or humanitarian efforts. I was recognized for my revolutionary contributions to the all-round development of students in Ahmadu Bello University @ABUZaria_DUA and my active representation at the national and international level since my first year in the university. The journey so far has been fruitful as my feats and efforts have inspired so many young people and students within Nigeria and beyond.
Alongside being recognized with 190+ young visionaries and leaders around the world, Iβm glad to announce that I am the first recipient in the history of Ahmadu Bello University, the first indigene from my state to receive this award and one of the select few from this part of the world.
Going forward, Iβm very passionate about leveraging opportunities to build systems for youth development, social capital and equitable healthcare access. As a result, Iβm very open to partnerships with relevant stakeholders and organisations working in these areas.
I am grateful to Almighty Allah, my family, my friends, my mentors, CEO of The Diana Awards @tessyojo, @the_nhef, @MCNpartners and everyone who has played a key role in my journey so far. This remains proof that we can do great things from a very small place and young people have the power to change the world.
Alhamdulillah.

Young people need to read more books. Itβs becoming an emergency.
A lot of people cannot arrive at their own conclusions without first checking what everyone else thinks.
They adopt popular opinions without interrogating them, cannot defend positions they claim to hold and struggle to stand for anything because they have never taken the time to think things through.
I genuinely fear we are beginning to underestimate how important reading is to our intellectual development, and I worry that we are gradually losing our ability to think independently, process information and form coherent opinions about things.
I see this a lot in interviews. People can only answer questions they have rehearsed. The moment an interviewer changes the wording or asks an unfamiliar question that requires actual reasoning, they become lost.
You see it in everyday conversations, too, especially on this app.
People struggle to understand context, interpret tone, recognise metaphors, detect sarcasm or follow nuanced arguments.
Everything is taken literally, and people constantly respond to things that were never actually said.
I think our consumption habits have something to do with this. We spend hours consuming short-form content but rarely dedicate time to reading, processing and engaging with complex ideas.
Reading does more than improve your vocabulary. It strengthens comprehension, critical thinking, memory, attention span and your ability to articulate your thoughts.
It teaches you to question information, consider opposing perspectives and arrive at your own conclusions.
Please, read more fiction, history, philosophy, biographies and subjects outside your immediate interests.
We need more young people who can think for themselves, defend their positions, understand the world around them and hold meaningful conversations.
We donβt have enough independent thinkers and itβs a really huge problem.
