GOOD DAY, MR PRESIDENT: NIGERIANS DESERVE ACCOUNTABILITY
Good day, Mr President.
I congratulate you on spending a night in one of Nigeria’s states outside Lagos and Abuja. I hope you enjoyed the warmth, hospitality, and delicious cuisine of Akwa Ibom, which I am sure is even better than those of the destinations where you have spent over 260 days outside Nigeria since coming into office.
I sincerely hope this visit will inspire you to travel to the remaining 33 states of the federation, spend time with the people and, more importantly, explain what your administration has done with the ₦15.8 trillion saved from the removal of fuel subsidy, the over $100 billion you have borrowed, the increased revenues accruing to the government from taxing Nigerians, and the additional government revenues which your administration celebrated last year as having surpassed its target.
Nigerians deserve to know how many that were pulled out of poverty within this period, how many out-of-school children were returned to school, and how many functional primary healthcare centres you have built. They also deserve to know how much electricity supply has improved, especially given your promise that if you do not fix power, Nigerians should not vote for you. They deserve an explanation of how you have secured the country, which still ranks among the most terrorised countries in the world.
Mr President, Nigerians deserve answers. They deserve to know what has been done with the resources entrusted to your government.
The New Nigeria we want to build will be based on accountability, transparency, and the physical, measurable impact of our public resources on the lives of citizens.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Hey, Emelda. I seldomly do this but let me try to put something and my thoughts together anyhow.
So here's my advice for you; before anything else ask yourself why you want to leave clinicals. Is it money, impact, or wanting to belong somewhere? Me na money and impact sha.
See, each one leads to a different path. If you don't answer this honestly, you'll switch fields and still feel stuck lmao.
For me, I'd say think healthcare not just "medicine." Your MBBS is a passport into health tech, public health, pharma, insurance, policy, and consulting. Clinical work is one door out of many. And this is what many doctors fail to comprehend.
Have you heard of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Language (AI/ML)? Abeg learn AI/ML now. You don't have to become an engineer, but to become the doctor in the room who understands both the medicine and the model. You get? That combo is rare and well paid. You'll keep studying and applying for remote roles while you do.
Hmmm...this one is tricky sha. Got a startup idea like @AskAwaDoc? You can launch it oh but before you become a tech founder abeg have a "sugar daddy" oh e get why 😅
See, I mean someone who backs you financially without much scrutiny; maybe your dad, bf or hubby or a friend. 'Cos startups take longer to pay than you expect and you need runway yep.
Something to look at again which I will strongly recommend is the NGO route and it's one of the sweetest. It polishes your CV and the pay is real money, trust me. You go flex tire literally. How? Go to the careers pages of int'll NGOs and look for roles that suite you. You can try programme officer roles. There are worth checking too since they fit doctors well.
Another one is to get a manag't degree. Try save around N1.5m and enrol at Miva University. They also offer an MPH if you lean toward public health. But I'd advise you to get an MBA...e get why. MPH dey too "saturated" somehow.
With a degree in healthcare manag't, na you go dey employ doctors in clinical practice and with better pay than them (abeg no offence 🙏).
There's another thing I'd advise you to do now, which is to pick a niche. My suggestion is women's health, especially maternal health. Study it deeply, then add that AI/ML on top. Omo, you'd be making blood money. That's where a lot of grant funding sits. Apply widely, connect with like minds and make your cool funds.
Have you heard of doctors in the green economy? Climate and health is wide open. Check what we do at @Ozone_HQ first. Did you even know that Nigeria's Federal Ministry of Health has a department of Climate Change? And very few doctors are working in this space yet :)
Before I forget this one and it's important too. You can japa oh. Japa is also a non clinical investment lol. Going abroad for a master's in public health, health informatics, or health manag't can reset your whole career. For real, for real.
So whatever you choose start before you feel ready. Pick one path this month and take one concrete step on it.
Oya, happy weekend 🫡
A classic medication error: OD became BD for five consecutive days. 😂
I religiously uphold the five rights of medication administration for my patients, only to neglect them when treating myself.
Apparently, the nurse needs nursing care too. 💀😭

Some university friendships are held together by nothing but shared lecture notes, examination timetables and complaints about the same lecturer.

Living with roommates in university will teach you that people have very different definitions of cleanliness, privacy and common sense.

Everybody is staring at this man's face.
I opened the video frame by frame instead. The hotel's own timestamps and file names are sitting right there in the clip.
They tell you more than the face does 🧵
URGENT PUBLIC APPEAL
I never imagined having to make a post like this, but I desperately need your help.
On October 31, while covering a wedding at Oriental Hotel, Lagos, my bag was stolen from inside the bride's room.
The bag contained my MacBook Pro M1 and
FOUR external hard drives holding approximately FIVE weddings yet to be delivered to my clients.
These are not just files. They are people's once in a lifetime memories, months of hard work and my livelihood.
Thankfully, we have obtained CCTV footage showing the individual entering, taking my bag and leaving the hotel.
I'm offering a N500,000 REWARD for credible information leading to the identification of this individual and recovery of my belongings through the appropriate authorities.
Please you can send a message or call this number for any update 09033892670
Please guys help me repost abeg, this is very important please. 🙏🏾

If you are looking to travel the world for work, conferences, competitions, summits, volunteering, workshops, education, and more across Pakistan, Nigeria, SA, UAE, Nepal, India, Ghana, the UK, the US, and beyond.
I spent hours during the weekend finding companies abroad that are actively hiring and funding and compiled them into one sheet.
Application links, eligibility criteria have been added, so all you have to do is review the sheet and apply.
