Madonna University, Okija, Anambra state is a very big disgrace. Always in bad terrifying news.

If you’re a Jambite that applied for that school, I advise you change institution asap.

400 level OAU Medical Student D+es During Exams

The Part 4 Medicine and Dentistry class at Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), scheduled to complete their MB examinations tomorrow, has been thrown into mourning following the d+ath of a colleague, Oreoluwa, who passed away during the ongoing exams.

The development has left the class and the wider medical community devastated, as months of preparation, hope, and academic effort were abruptly overshadowed by the painful loss.

In a statement reflecting their grief, colleagues described the incident as a stark reminder of the human cost behind medical training. They stressed the need for medical students and doctors to be treated with dignity and compassion, emphasizing that they are humans first before being professionals.

The incident has also reignited conversations around the pressures of medical education, including intense academic demands, examination stress, and broader concerns about the welfare conditions of students in clinical training.

As examinations continue, the class mourns Oreoluwa while calling for reforms that prioritize the health, safety, and overall well-being of future healthcare professionals.

Una still dey shame people for their job description in 2026?

Oga, you chose to be fixing people’s brains and spines. He chose to be measuring urine’s output amongst many others.

Both jobs have one end goal which is to save lives.

Why do you think your choice is better than his?

Nawa oh!

Na why e no good to stop at bed side Nursing. But then, if we all leave bed side Nursing, who will then become bed side Nurses? This is the reason why every job or profession matters in healthcare care.

Me: This is your third C-section in 4 years. We really need to discuss a long-term birth control method for your safety.

Patient: Oh, I don't need all those chemicals, Doctor. My husband and I use a "natural" method.

Me: The rhythm method? Withdrawal?

Patient: No. After we finish, I just stand up and shake my body very hard for 5 minutes. Then I drink salt water. The pregnancy cannot stay.

Me: But you are here today for another delivery.

Patient: Yes, but that’s because that night I was too tired to shake well.

Me: 👇
