Her Long time Dream:
One of these days, I’d try to make an input on how to navigate Nigerian pharmacy school. It may be a long thread and I do hope my colleagues who excelled in school will chip in. I didn’t graduate with high grades but I think someone needs to learn from my mistakes.
Many of us had the potentials but didn’t have proper guidance and study aids.
Before I delve into that topic, I will love pharmacy students to ask any questions under this thread to help streamline the intervention.

The first time I ran for office, a Head of a Department tried to dissuade me. Said I was making a wrong decision. Today I can ring him up and have a chat or call in a favour because I have proven to him over time that I am worth my salt.
