I have seen a lot of patients in the last few months with abnormal pigmentation and burnt skin because of the use of 'organic' creams. I had to ask some of them why they don't call out these people. I realized it was because of shame. That you caused issues for yourself.
You are using something to whiten your skin and you're practicing zero sun avoidance and protection? You're given a cream that should be the answer to your problems, yet the contents of the cream is not written on it. Why the secrecy? 2021 is coming soon, stop being so gullible.
Ask questions. Our melanin is more protective against skin cancer but we tend to pigment easily. UVA from the sun is notorious for pigmentation. Don't give the dermatologist and the real aestheticians tension headache. You damage your skin and you want it repaired in days?
We are not magicians. There's only so much we can do. Remember there's filter so all you see on Instagram may not be the real thing. It is very easy to destroy the skin but repairing it takes patience. In trying to repair damage caused to your skin, don't get into more trouble.
This picture will be how I'm dancing into 2021....while telling 2020 to pack and go. E don do!
May the new year bring peace and abundant blessings for us all

1. You know I like to shalaye. So my response is an alaye. I would never have responded if you didn't ask.
While I agree that it is important to use your social media with sense, I think some stories may have been stretched beyond their elastic limit.
2. We forget that interviews are not made up of just one person especially if it is a teaching hospital. We forget that even if one person on the panel is prejudiced, they can't all be facing the same direction. I'm not saying that they did not see the said Dr's tweet.
3. If I remember correctly,I think I also saw the tweet where the said person praised the most prominent feature in the anterior thoracic wall and I passed by the tweet with amusement.But to say that they whipped his tweet out DURING the interview is akin to what we call "karamo"

On themselves. People have issues in their relationships and will rather bring it to social media rather than talk to themselves. A lot have neck pain because we're constantly bent over looking at our phones. Suicide rates are higher because of undue pressure. Fear technology o
We all must constantly do some check and balances to be sure we are not falling prey to the ills of technology.

Dear Doctors especially in Nigeria

Be professional at all times. Know your onions. There's always room to say, "I'll get back to you" or "let me check it up" for something you're not sure about. It is allowed. It makes you less prone to errors.
2. Dear Colleagues, recognize that your patients are not your friends except you have a personal relationship with them. Treat them with utmost respect but easy on the familiarity. As they say, it often breeds contempt. I write a lot (especially not medical)
3. because I find it therapeutic. It is my way of relaxing. But as accessible as I am, I would never consult here on social media. I teach about common skin conditions because I like to. But I would not be diagnosing and managing on social media. Please ensure that you don't too.

1. We tolerate bad behavior by saying, "just leave them, that's the way they are. I don't like their wahala" and we let people become unbelievably entitled to their rotten attitude. We should call people out more often on this. Especially if it is becoming a recurring decimal.
2. Most people keep doing it because they KNOW they can get away with it. How do I know this? People that are ill-mannered generally stay away from people that won't tolerate it from them. For every wèrè, there's a more superior wèrè that will cut them down.
3. Unfortunately, people look at those that correct them like, "you sef like wahala. That's the way this person is. Let it slide." So we keep breeding insolence and bad behavior.
This can be likened to abuse.  The moment the abuser sees that the abuse is met with friction,

1. I love my radio a lot. There's a radio in most of my regular spaces. My father in law buys me new radios that he thinks I might like. I have some favorite radio stations and programs in every city I live in. There's a program called "mamamileko" on Inspiration 100.5FM at 1pm
2. on Wednesdays in Ibadan that talks on life issues. I try not to miss it. The anchor is great. Today's talk was on divorce.
Dear people...It happens. Irreconcilable differences can occur even in relationships that were once the cynosure of all eyes. A marriage is healthier
3. when the two people involved are ACTIVELY working on being intentional and deliberate about the relationship. Like every good thing in life...it doesn't come easy.
If you have tried all your best and it is still not working out..please seperate amicably without becoming toxic
