Getting Off the High Horse

In the past week I have been slandered, insulted, even threatened. I have been called arrogant, egocentric, delusional and maniacal… In fact, they have said they may not allow me to pass my “part 6 (sic) MBBS exams”. Interestingly, majority of such statements came from a particular profession more than others; yes, the very ones I said must have been taught sauciness in school. Well,… Read more

NMA vs FMoH: Ebola turn at Nigerian Resident Doctors

Diseases can be terrible; how much more epidemics? It was barely a week ago that I came down with fever, malaise and highly disturbing diarrhoea.

Then I realigned my sentiments with prevailing public opinion and arrived unquestioningly at Ebola… Read more

I was meant to have three uncles, just three. I never met one – In person – but I read (with) him, read his books, his notes, and saw his spirit, his drive; I do not know what he looked like, yet he taught me: he taught me to dare. My other uncle nurtured me from afar; I learnt by osmosis. He once said he’d… Read more

Potential is life; and life is potential; since potential is the ability to be and to do. Life is itself a collection of cells, after all, the cell is the basic structural and functional unit of life.
