In 2017, only 30 something percent of us passed.
Not because the people that failed were not intelligent, but because the exam had no structure, no scope.
It was also a fail one section, fail all the exam then.
As someone who had written licensing exams in 4 different countries where their doctors are respected globally, I can say Nigeria is the Worst.
For the objective, I believed I pulled through because I made friends with final year medical student of University of ilorin- we wrote the exam in Ilorin. I reviewed their syllabus. A lot of their past questions was repeated because it was their lecturers teaching us that set the questions.
Based on what we were taught, that exam was abstract.
Also I need to add that I probably passed because I understood how the system works, because I had a degree in Nigeria earlier.
The reviewing of past questions is Illegal in other countries. They don’t give them their exam questions to go home with.
So someone that never had a university experience in Nigeria won’t even think of that.
The oral was one question, if you fail it, you’ve failed the whole exam
The OSSCE was also 1 question in parts; you don’t know the diagnosis, you’ve failed it all.
In other countries I’ve been to, when a large percentage of people fail an exam, it’s a call for review of the exam and the processes to see what’s wrong.
In Nigeria, people failing makes the examiners think they’ve done an amazing job.
There’s a lot of things wrong with that country and I’m glad I could take a fresh breath.
PS: A number of people that failed Nigeria Medical IMG exam passed USMLE 3 steps within 6 months.
They weren’t the problem, the system they were trying to excel in was.
American: So there are terrorists causing problems in your country, right?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: That's terrible. Is the government at least doing something about it?
Nigerian: Well, our president addressed the issue.
American: Oh. What did he say?
Nigerian: He spoke about the law of lawf in the holy book
American: ...The law of love?
Nigerian: I guess
American: Okay. Did you send the military after them?
Nigerian: Hmm... at times.
American: What do you mean "at times"?
Nigerian: Sometimes we've heard the military went after them. In some cases, the terrorists ended up killing military personnel.
American: Wait. They killed your soldiers?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Okay, so then your government retaliated and finished them off, right?
Nigerian: Mm... nah.
American: What do you mean "nah"?
Nigerian: Well, our president also gave an example from the Bible about the prodigal son on how we should accept them with love.
American: Hold on. The prodigal son?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: I'm confused. So you're telling me terrorists killed military personnel, and the response was a Bible lesson?
Nigerian: Something like that.
American: So you guys aren't doing anything?
Nigerian: No, no. We're doing something.
American: Okay. What are you doing?
Nigerian: We're rehabilitating the ones we catch.
American: You're... rehabilitating them?
Nigerian: Yes.
American: Not prosecuting them?
Nigerian: Not according to our president, no.
American: WTF WTF WTF
Nigerian: I never even tell you anything, you don dey cry
lemme explain this for those in the back.
most women don’t like when a guy’s birthday is before theirs cos then the guy can gauge what he’ll do for them based on what they did (if he gets boxers & singlet gift, they get pant)
and if they decide to go big so that he will go big they might stop talking and they’ll have lost. but if theirs is before his then the guy can’t gauge and if he goes all out and they stop talking before his, they’d still come out on top.
In summary, most women are always in business
it’s basically profit & loss to them.
Here is the exact anatomical and physiological reason why a male UTI is never just a simple infection 👇
• Women have a very short urethra (about 4 cm) that sits close to the GI tract. It is anatomically easy for bacteria to make that short trip into the bladder. Because of this, female UTIs are common, easy to clear and usually uncomplicated.
• Men, however, have a 20 cm long urethra. Furthermore, the prostate gland secretes a highly antibacterial fluid rich in zinc. Under normal circumstances, it is anatomically and chemically incredibly difficult for bacteria to climb that far up.
• The Red Flag: Because the male defenses are so formidable, if a man actually gets a UTI, it means something is fundamentally broken. The bacteria had help.
• A male UTI almost always implies urinary stasis (urine isn't flowing out properly). The bacteria are multiplying because they are trapped behind an enlarged prostate (BPH), a urethral stricture or a kidney stone.
• Alternatively, the bacteria may have infected the prostate gland itself (Prostatitis), using it as a deep, protected bunker where standard antibiotics struggle to penetrate.
• The Clinical Rule: This is exactly why a male UTI is NEVER uncomplicated. You can't just give 3 days of antibiotics. They require longer courses (7-14 days) and almost always warrant an ultrasound to find the hidden structural trap.
• So guys, if it burns when you pee, don't ignore it.

You can do literally EVERYTHING for a woman and she would rubbish everything one day just cos of how she FEELS about one action or inaction of yours.
And this goes for ALL women.
You see, I am usually tough on men who choose the path of marrying single mothers and becoming the child's stepped-up father. But I read this and almost shed a tear for the man involved.
I want every man to read this.
You'll never be happy with a single mother if you marry one. The chances of disappointment, I believe, are far greater than the opposite, and for the following reasons.
Women have a poor memory of their privileges and a sharp memory of their sacrifices. That is to say, no matter what you do for a woman, she rarely holds your sacrifices in higher regard than her own, or than the sacrifices she once made for another man.
In the case of a single mother, your sacrifices will never fully displace the memories of what she gave in her previous relationship with the child's father. Consequently, you may never receive the degree of priority that you afford her.
Every deadbeat father, baby daddy was, at some point, a man she deeply loved. And women in love make sacrifices. So, sacrificing your way into her heart may earn you responsibility, but not necessarily devotion or appreciation. Her emotional history is already crowded with memories from the relationship that made her a single mother.
Your relationship will not stop her from f*cking her baby daddy if the opportunity presents itself.
You will play the role of the child's father and still never enjoy the benefits you imagined would accompany that role.
It is also worth stating that heavy lifting for a woman does not guarantee a degree of commitment proportionate to that effort. It guarantees nothing.
Part of the reason, is that women, throughout the vicissitudes of time, have remained the primary objects of men's benevolence. Every time a man went out of his way, it was often done to make a woman's life easier or more secure.
This singular habit, compounded over generations, has produced women who see men's chivalry, even in romance, less as an extraordinary gesture and more as something naturally expected. A prerogative.
You are not the first man to do it, nor will you be the last. Consequently, your sacrifices may not register in the female psyche as grand acts demanding equal commitment or devotion in return.
Another reason why heavy lifting your way into a woman's life may fail to produce the outcome you desire is that appreciation requires perspective.
Women do not make man-level kind of sacrificing. Women therefore can never understand enough to appreciate enough.
Women cannot fully appreciate burdens they have never had to carry themselves. When one is unfamiliar with a particular kind of sacrifice, one lacks the reference points necessary to measure its weight.
Without that reference, effort is often underestimated. And when effort is underestimated, gratitude becomes inadequate. Never enough.
The point is, sacrifice and appreciation do not always grow in equal proportion, and effort alone is no guarantee of the affection or loyalty for which it was spent. Don't heavy lift your way into a woman's life. Not the average woman. Not the single mother. It guarantees nothing. Nothing.
Babes do this,and it’s a form of subconscious self-sabotage.
You’d think she’s being romantic or caring, but it’s a trap, don't fall for it, A lot of times,women try to mold a guy into their idealized version of a partner changing his style,his hair, his habits.
The irony is she fell for the guy he already was but by doing that she's actively destroying the exact traits that attracted her to him in the first place.
If you're not firm enough as a gee she'd turn you into what she won't find attractive again and you'd end up a loser.
I get money for anything you wanna eat and drink when you come over
I get money for taking US out to places I wanna see as well
I get money for affording soft lifestyle for myself( you can tag)
I no get money for wigs, to change your phone or your family issue, or back to back craving or clubbing for Snapchat aesthetics!!
I met one a while back and, on the very first day of meeting her, she proceeded to tell me that her birthday was next week. I already knew where the conversation was headed, but I decided not to be presumptuous and instead asked how she intended to celebrate it. She told me she would be hosting a boat cruise.
“Beautiful,” I replied, genuinely impressed by the ambition of it.
Then she smiled and asked, “You’ll come abi, so you can come and spray me money?”
And right there, I sat quietly with myself, even as she kept talking, and began tracing the sequence of life choices that had led me to that precise moment.
I saw a post one time where a Lady said whenever she’s having normal small issues with her husband, she covers herself while changing after bathing(not wanting him to see her nakedness)
The post wasn’t the issue, the number of Women relating to it in the comments was scary.
Different angles kept coming to my head that day that I ended up ignoring the post.
Some of the things that popped up in my head…
.
.
.
.
- Why do Wives see their bodies as what their husbands have to EARN(even in marriage o)
- So all the while that he’s been seeing your nakedness, you feel you’ve been doing him a favour like that and he owes you ?
- Is the nakedness a different one from the one other Men saw before you got married or you’re only punishing him coz he’s the one that decided to marry you ?
- Why do married Women still want incentives for sex from their husbands ?
- Is it an innate trait for the average Woman to want to trade their bodies for something ?
- If your body was that sacred, why should any Man happily get married to a pre-fucked Woman ?
What’s the wedding celebration for then ?
What ‘good thing’ did he find in you ?
- Aren’t you scared you’d be extremely useless to your Husband from 50+ since your body is your only major weapon/agency ?
Coz really…
Three weeks ago, my 23-year-old neighbor was kidnapped on her way to Kontagora in Niger State.
While in captivity, the bandits repeatedly raped her taking turns sleeping with her night after night. Still, they kept bargaining with her father over the phone, demanding ransom even as they violated her.
Her father fought with everything he had. He hustled day and night, borrowed from everyone, took loans, sold whatever he could determined to bring his daughter home.
When he finally gathered the full amount, he called the bandits and begged them, ‘Please, give the phone to my daughter. Let me speak to her. I want her to know I’m coming for her.’
They gave her the phone.
In a broken, traumatized voice, she told her father: ‘Dad, do not suffer yourself looking for the money. They have been sleeping with me. I’m traumatized. I can’t forgive myself. Even if I’m released, I’ll kill myself. Don’t bother paying the ransom.’
Those were the last words she ever spoke to him.
While her father was still holding the phone, he heard the gunshot. He heard his daughter being killed. Moments later, the bandits sent pictures of her remains to him, a final act of cruelty.
A 23-year-old girl. My neighbor. Someone’s daughter, someone’s sister, someone’s friend gone in the most horrific way possible.
This is not just one story. This is the nightmare too many families are living in Niger State and across Nigeria. Young women snatched on the roads, violated, used as bargaining chips, and discarded like nothing.
Living in Nigeria has become truly scary. You wake up, you step out, and you don’t know if you or your loved ones will return home. The fear is constant. The pain is constant. And too often, justice never comes.
Rest in peace to my neighbor.
They just need to make dildos that you can preload with sperm from a sperm bank. With a timed release function. And boom. You don't need men for anything.
Now are you going to make it or wait for a man to invent it?
