A PASSIONATE CALL TO ALL NIGERIANS TO STAND WITH NARD
Fellow Nigerians!
Warm greetings from the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD).
We wish to address you at this critical time as we embark on a total, comprehensive, and indefinite strike, a decision that did not come lightly, nor was it ever our desire. We are fully aware of the pains and inconveniences that accompany any disruption in healthcare services, and we deeply regret the situation.
However, this action has become inevitable, following the repeated failure of the Federal Government of Nigeria to honor its promises and implement the agreements reached with us after several rounds of dialogue, appeals, and ultimata.
Our demands are not selfish, neither are they politically motivated. They are genuine, germane, and patriotic, centered on the survival of the Nigerian health system and the well-being of every citizen who depends on it.
We fight not for personal gain, but for the creation of a system that allows resident doctors to deliver safe, effective, and compassionate care to patients in an environment that supports their mental and physical well-being. A resident doctor who is overworked, underpaid, and mentally exhausted cannot offer optimal care to the patient who needs them most.
Our demands include issues of excessive workload, fair remuneration, payment of arrears, improvement of working conditions, adequate staffing, and the provision of essential medical infrastructure, all of which directly impact the quality of healthcare delivered to Nigerians.
A nation’s health system can only be as strong as the hands that sustain it. If resident doctors are broken, under-motivated, or forced to seek survival abroad, the patients suffer most. This is why we have taken this painful stand to secure the future of Nigerian healthcare for every man, woman, and child who deserves quality care here at home.
We therefore call on all Nigerians; our patients, civil society groups, labour unions, religious and traditional leaders, and every citizen of conscience, to stand with us. Add your voices to ours in appealing to the Federal Government to do the right thing.
This is not a fight between resident doctors and government; it is a struggle for a functional, just, and humane healthcare system, one where your doctor can attend to you with a clear mind, a motivated spirit, and access to the tools needed to save lives.
Together, we can rebuild a system that values both the caregiver and the cared-for. We appeal to you to weigh in and urge the Government to address our demands urgently, so that hospitals can reopen, resident doctors can return to their duty posts, and Nigerians can once again access the care they deserve.
We always stand with you, and now we ask you to stand with us in solidarity and service to humanity.

I told the Man I’m dating that he hasn’t actually asked me to be his GF so its technically not official until then. He said he’s not asking me because
1. We too grown and I’m not a girl. I’m a grown woman and he refers to me as his “Lady”
2. Asking me would imply that I have a choice.
Idk. That made me instantly look for my hair tie. 🤭🫣🥰
We will not forget her name and we will not stop talking about her!!

Good evening, please I’m here again on behalf of a single mother and her son. The child is in SS3 (we know how important this class is) and she’s unable to complete his fees of 125,000 naira.
I’m seeking your help to send this child back to school please. The mother is seeping into depression in real time and I hope we can help them through this.
