Warning: if you are a medical student, take out 2mins of your time and read this to avoid sefie pains.

DOCKAY, SCHOOL GO SOON OPEN

COVID-19 General Holiday will soon be over. You have rested abi, yes you have rested enough biko🙌. You were not sent to this world to come and sleep and chat. Enough, it haff do!

Any moment from now you will be called back to school, I beseech you therefore in the name of our Holy Lord Jesus Christ that ye should pick up your pen and draw a palpable reading timetable, call that your reading partner and present to one another as living medical students.🙌

Your siblings from main campus can continue to relax but you shan’t anymore.(let me use King James tone, maybe you will hearken unto the voice of the one crying in the wilderness).

What sayest I? Thou shall honour thy medical studying commitment, for that is the only principle with a promise…that ye shall not be kicked out by the Bayern bullies of the college of medical sciences(I no call any club o)

Don’t attempt to read all of them today by creating a hopelessly looking timetable. The urge to finish Keith Moore in the next two weeks will come, but hear me and hear me well: it is not of the Lord…stop setting yourself up for failure.

Leave Tripathi if e no dey trip you, leave Martin Crooke if e no too clear you and enjoy in the bossom of thy Kaplan videos for now.

Don’t try to finish “10 teachers” this week, it took 10 professors to write that tiny book, who are you then that wants to finish it in 10days?Professor Agboola?

All you need is one to two hours of putting off Instagram for instant study, putting off Facebook to face your book, putting off WhatsApp to check the percussion note of thy brain and asking yourself sincere questions – is this brain still resonant? sparingly dull? Stony dull? Or even full of sawdust in Prof Asindi’s tone…

I beseech you therefore to find a not-too-useless classmate of yours that you two can chat for just 30mins daily of thy clinical sojourn in the land of Bailey and Love. No go do pass yourself by setting a 3hour discussion class, she no go show – you think say Surgery discussion is the same as BBNija gist?

I kneel and beseech you therefore again to utilize the gift of “higher association”. That doctor or senior colleague in medical school that is calling you “fine ghel” and you are blushing like an over-used toothbrush, biko, let him show you pathways. You can’t be hanging out with those who have overcome and be empty like this. A scheduled one-hour WhatsApp call with someone that is a year ahead of you in clinical practice is worth more than 12hours of this directionless rigorous study of yours (experience has a way of beating hardwork everyday). Stand on their shoulders and look farther to go further🙌Do that now, so that you no go dey say: there is no family history of road traffic accident when wardround finally resume.

Biko wake up and listen to the famous words of the great Henry Wadsworth Longfellow: “My sons, the heights great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight, but they, while their companions slept, were toiling upward in the night.” Dust your books and start building momentum because once school comes back on session, you will discover that your mates are no more your mates o. A person who has been consistently reading 2hours a day in this past 6months of unholy holiday has gathered about 400 hours of reading time….my dear, even if dey been use that guy brain fry pepper in the coven, him no go fit fail, e get why!

As I drop my pen in the basket of love, I want to remind us again – school will soon resume. Nigerian university operates a fire-brigade school schedule. They won’t mind telling you guys that the whole semester of 4months will be wrapped up in 6weeks – we are that mad as a country. We wey normal for this nation, we no even reach 20🤣. So dear, you were no too tight academically, listen to this precious advice from my mother in the Lord: battle wey dem announce early, can never consume a cripple. Him go start crawling early. Reduce your Ethenereum campaign and start handing over the admin-ship of groups that are incompactible with medical life!

Have I said I love you today? Not yet. Let me say it now: I just want to say I love you and there is nothing you can do about it. If you still confuse, reach out to us or any nearby affordable senior colleague😍.

🙌I am DrAnna saying:

Bia biko, get a timetable, get a reading partner, get a study mentor and start learning yagachiously, if book no clear, Kaplan it! I repeat, if book no clear, Kaplan it!

Use your good heart and informate any medical student about what i just said to avoid cums that looks like the numbers on a wallclock🤐
