This woman had presented to the general out patient clinic and her symptoms were not specific.
They were scattered somewhat which then prompted me to ask her if she's been assaulted.

She stayed crying and the tears just wouldn't stop.

Allowed her till she was ready to share.

She was raped as a househelp to a Doctor

An elderly man

Guess what?

He later died 2 years after but the lady was never the same.

Even though she was now married, the trauma still lingered.

Another story

I had gone for an outreach and was returning home in a keke when the keke stopped to carry more people.

There was a little girl about 10 years who couldn't enter because others were faster.

A man then offered to carry her on his laps but she refused.

The man then started taunting her.

I quickly had to put mouth and said while I understand he's trying to help, carrying her on his laps would be outrightly improper.

I have more stories, gory ones but for now let’s leave it here.

My O & G posting opened my eyes to the rot that goes on within family systems and how most people would rather cover up cases of sexual violation

Are we going to continue to be indifferent?

No, because doing that would be agreement.

We must look out for the innocent ones around and fight for them.
Teach children safe touch and unsafe touch.
Don't psyche children to becoming comfortable with who they are not comfortable with.
Be friends with your children so they can be free to share matters with you
What punishment you think rapists should get?

In a small village called quick tongues, people prided themselves on “saying things as they were.”

They laughed at politeness and called it “fake,”
They believed honesty meant never filtering your words.

Children grew up watching adults snap at each other in the market, insult government workers, and gossip about their neighbors.

No one taught them to pause before speaking. It just felt natural to react, to win every argument, to “speak their mind.”

And so, over time, incivility became the town’s second language.
At first, it seemed harmless but slowly, the effects showed.

The baker stopped greeting customers who scolded him daily.
The schoolteacher grew cold and bitter.Neighbors avoided each other’s eyes.
Even prayers at the local church were filled with competition and pride instead of peace.

One day, a traveler passed through and asked, “Why is everyone here so angry?”
The villagers replied, “We’re just being real. Isn’t that honest?”
The traveler smiled sadly and said,

Honesty without kindness is like fire without control — it burns more than it warms.”

His words struck a few hearts. Slowly, some began to change.
To think before replying, to offer respect even when it wasn’t returned. The warmth that had long disappeared began to flicker again.

Incivility might come naturally, but peace never grows where disrespect is sown.

Incivility feels easy because it feeds our pride and anger. But it’s unsafe, because it corrodes trust, poisons relationships, and can turn communities or even families into battlegrounds.
Civility, on the other hand, is a discipline, a conscious choice to protect dignity, both ours and others.

Choose your words
Taste your words & if distasteful, swallow it.
Practise restraint and discretion
Listen to understand not just to reply
Disagree with grace
Say the truth with compassion
Say I'm sorry when wrong
Leave ever space better than you met it.
Be civil.

Not everyone would have the charisma that naturally commands respect but we must respect them all the same.

It’s not everyone who will have the social status that draws admiration and commands respect but that shouldn’t determine whether they’re treated with dignity.

It’s not every customer who will tip you as a waiter or a security guard but you must still do your job with courtesy .

That is integrity.

I’ve observed over time that I rarely have issues dealing with a certain category of patients: the elites.

With them, things tend to flow more smoothly.
They get investigations done without resistance.
They follow the line of medical management with a serious and informed mindset.
Yes, they may ask a lot of questions but once you’re grounded in your knowledge, you’ll be fine.
At most, the only challenge might be when they want an alternative line of treatment but once you clearly explain and reinforce the rationale, more often than not, they budge.

Now, with the illiterates & or economically disadvantaged, that’s often where the struggle begins.

You explain the need for surgery,they decline.
You recommend a diagnostic test,they refuse, insisting on just medications
It often feels like a tug of war.

But here’s the truth:

If we only respect people with money, that’s not real respect.
If we only respect our seniors or bosses, that's not respect.
If we only respect the elites, that’s classism.
If we only respect the elderly, then we’ve missed the point.Respect is about humanity, not age.

We should respect all people and we can learn the skill of staying respectful in the face of oppositions.

Every person, regardless of status, age, background, or education, is worthy of basic human respect.

Sometimes it’s as simple as:
Saying: “Good morning”
Saying: “Thank you”
Offering: a sincere apology : I'm sorry
Asking permission: “Can I…?”

These are the foundations of human dignity.

Have you ever experienced a delay following you trying to help someone?

Here's a mindset that cripples growth and innovation

Not only that, it justifies injustice, silences critical thinking and keeps people comfortable but powerless

Here's to challenging you to snap out and challenge such mindsets whenever it's presented to you if we really want to move forward.

Moving forward, let it now be:

THIS IS HOW WE CAN HAVE IT BETTER
IT WOULD BE BETTER IF WE CAN
IT CAN WORK BETTER IF WE
THIS IS HOW IT SHOULD BE

It doesn't have to always be a kinda way.
If you support this, say yes in the comment.

When you make the choice for consciousness, learning, and growth, then you have also chosen the path of spiritual power which resides in your being and not in your position.

Throughout the centuries, theologians, in considering the dichotomy between being and doing, have invariably come down in favor of being.

In other words, who you are, what kind of person you are is much more important than what you actually do. That is hard to grasp in our action-oriented culture.

Who you are privately is more important that what you are publicly.
Who you are to your family members is more important than what you publicly do.

It's therefore not about what you want others to think you are but who you really are.

Who are you?
What manner of person are you?

It's time to self reflect.

I was in the market to buy fabrics two days ago, a lady who was a customer (she should be in her mid twenties) was aggressively cursing one of the attendants in the shop (Should be in her early twenties). The attendant was also cursing in return but was much level-headed.

I wanted to intervene but felt this restraint because another customer was already trying to do that and I didn’t quite know what started the whole issue.

It was only when the attendant saw that her boss was coming around that she stopped cursing but the other customer went ahead to inform the boss that her attendant was very irresponsible.

The offended had come to buy half quantity of all the things her own boss who's a tailor had sent her only for the attendant to start teasing her calling her "half half" and that she'd be surprised if she ever buys more than half.

What!

"Is that not bullying?"
You a sales girl bullying an apprentice with classism?

I had to say it that what she did was pure bullying and it isn't humane.

As I left the place, was thinking about it and came to the conclusion that more often than not, offenders are usually level headed and would be calm after triggering the offended.

If you do not take some time to stay back and see the issue properly, one might be judging wrongly.

Yesterday was world mental health day and one of the culture we need to build in creating a mentally safe world is by creating safe communities.

How?

Build a culture of respect and empathy
Strengthen compassionate accountability
Promote inclusion and belonging
Replace fear with trust
Educate and empower others.

Let our Families, Churches, Workplaces and every space we share be mentally safe.

Should you have any mental concerns, I'd be glad to listen in the DM🤗

"Ori e o pe"- Your head is not correct.

Residency Diaries : Episode 20

"Ehnehn, I knew it can never be you" my colleague blurted as I entered the call room the other day.

"Oh what's that ?" I asked inquisitively

"I heard someone saying "orieope" and the voice sounded so much like yours but I was so sure Dr Awolehin would never say something like that".

I just smiled.

Let there be things you would never say no matter how much you're provoked.
Let there be places you'd never be found
Let there be things you'd never do in the face of provocation.

Be predictable to a degree.

When your choices align with your values, you become dependable and trustworthy.

Predictability is also a sign of integrity.

Is there a valid reason to steal?

There was a time I would rationalize people stealing by saying "the country is hard"

Is that a valid reason?
No.

See here.

Proverbs 6:30,31 MSG.
No excuses. Hunger is no excuse for a thief to steal; When he’s caught he has to pay it back, even if he has to put his whole house in hock. Adultery is a brainless act, soul-destroying, self-destructive; Expect a bloody nose, a black eye, and a reputation ruined for good.

Follow through, please.

Criminal thinking patterns are not so much simplistic and one dimensional. There is a tendency among some to see themselves as always the victim.

People who think this way do not take responsibility for their choices. For others still, there is a lack of perspective about time, which results in living primarily in the present, without investing in the future or taking into account the consequences of one's actions.

One aspect of criminal thinking patterns stands out most because of its prevalence among non- criminal segments of the population. It is an attitude of
ownership, or what can be referred to as a sense of entitlement. Those with an extreme sense of entitlement are able to justify violating other people or their property without regard to their rights.

If their thinking stems from an "inferiority
complex," those who feel entitled see themselves as helpless and often as victims. They complain and protest greatly about the lack of opportunities they
have had in life because of their ethnic, economic, or family background. They discount their own failure to put in the effort required to improve their lives.
Some will choose to steal, manipulate, and otherwise take from others because of their belief that the world owes them. They fail to see their own negligence in considering alternative ways of thinking and living.

Therefore in healing this dysfunctional society of ours, let it be known that there's no justifiable reason to steal.
