Doctor of Medicine, or Interpreter of Results?

October 11, 2023October 11, 2023 Ayokunle Adeleye Leave a comment

There is now a recalcitrant trend among our people. It is not new, but it sure is growing. Before now, everyone knew to seek the (medical) doctor out whenever they ailed. It was the doctor who then decided what investigations to order, and what treatment to give, after thorough history taking and relevant physical examination. What we find now is rather different, the well-documented physician-apathy… Read more

In the book, titled Thirty Things You Must Do Before You Are Thirty, Ayotunde Okunowo advocates the ownership of a house, however small, before you are thirty years old. I have never met anyone averse to owning a house, not even my lovely JW friends. A house even makes for a good collateral, and is an important business asset. But as my people say: Àyangbe… Read more

Good day, elders and colleagues. Permit me to stand on existing protocols as I say the following with the utmost respect: b’a ba pẹ lori emi, eṣin k’eeṣin a maa ba ni nibẹ!
