Can this be true?

You might not want to admit it, but some Pharmacy students don't like their course.

Sometimes pharmacy students quietly question their course.

They see the long lectures, endless drug names, difficult calculations, practicals, clinicals and sleepless nights before exams and wonder:

“Did I choose the right profession?”
"Why didn't I get the score for Medicine and Surgery?"

It becomes even harder when conversations about salary, job opportunities, and the future of healthcare in Nigeria start coming up.

Some people even say things like:

“Why study pharmacy when you can just study medicine or nursing?”

But what many people don’t realise is that pharmacy is one of the most important professions in healthcare.

Behind every safe prescription is a professional who understands how medicines behave in the human body.

Pharmacists detect dangerous drug interactions, catch prescription errors, make sure medicines are used correctly so that they heal instead of harm.

That responsibility is not small, lie lie.

Pharmacy students spend years studying pharmacology, pharmaceutics, medicinal chemistry, pharmacokinetics, clinical pharmacy and many other disciplines for a reason.

Because medicines are powerful and when used wrongly, they can be dangerous.

That is why DRUG EXPERTS MUST EXIST.

Yes, pharmacy school is demanding.

Yes, the healthcare system in Nigeria still has many challenges.

And yes, conversations about salary and opportunities are real and important.

Money matters, very much, in this f*cked up economy.

But pharmacy is a profession with many different paths. A pharmacist can work in:

• Hospital practice
• Community pharmacy
• Pharmaceutical industry
• Regulatory bodies
• Research and academia
• Public health
• Pharmaceutical marketing and business
• Clinical research
• Global health organisations

Some pharmacists also build their own community pharmacies, health brands, consulting services, and pharmaceutical businesses.

Others develop specialised skills and increase their value through certifications, postgraduate training, clinical specialties, or research.

And yes, many Nigerian pharmacists today also work abroad or pursue international opportunities through further training, licensing exams, or postgraduate programs.

So the journey does not end with just one path. There are many doors, even if some take time to open.

Another important thing pharmacy students should remember is this:

There are many successful and notable pharmacists in Nigeria today.

People who started exactly where you are now as students who sat in lecture halls, struggled with pharmacology, worried about exams and their future… just like you.

Yet today they are leaders in healthcare, academia, pharmaceutical business, research and public health.

If they could walk that journey and succeed, then YOU CAN TOO.

So if you are a pharmacy student currently struggling through lectures, practicals, exams or moments of doubt…

Remember this.

You are not just studying drug names, you are training to become a professional whose knowledge can protect lives every single day.

And that is something worth being proud of.

I am not motivating you, I'm just being truthful.

Pharmacy students, what year are you in right now? 👇

If you have WAEC/NECO, you MUST Japa and secure Permanent Residency this year.

Gone are the days when having WAEC or NECO was a limitation. This year don't allow that limit you in anyway.

I will tell you why and what you are eligible for.

1. Canada immigration priority category this year includes vocational skilled workers. This means, you can study in Canada, secure a job as a vocational skilled worker (take advantage of work-integrated-learning offerings) and apply for Permanent Residency in Canada. You mainly need WAEC to apply for Diploma courses.

2. In New Zealand, you can apply for a Level 4 Diploma in any Trades and Technician courses and voila! you are set up for Residence after your study. New Zealand had added 91 occupations to its Green List last year and vocational courses. This year, they are eligible for Residence. You only need WAEC for Level 4 Diploma.

3. With your WAEC you can also apply for a Level 4 Diploma in Healthcare in New Zealand. Fun fact, you will earn same amount of money as one who studied Level 7 Diploma on completion and you are also eligible for Careworker to Residence Visa.

4. With WAEC you can study a Vocational Education and Training course in Australia. One of the courses you can go for is Plumbing. There are more. You can be eligible to apply for PR under subclasses 189, 190 and 186.

5. There are opportunities for WAEC holders in the Schengen, and I can list the countries and the PR pathways. However, language presents as a formidable barrier.

If you have WAEC or NECO and want to Japa and don't know what to do, book a therapy sessioh with the Japa Doctor.

It was shared online with the hope that the owner would see it and come forward to reclaim it

But sadly
The second slide later showed the same certificate again, this time in a very poor condition

Nigerian Professor Bags 70-Month Jail Term In U.S. Over $1.4m Donor Fund Theft

A United States district court in Michigan has sentenced Nkechy Ezeh, former executive director of Early Learning Neighbourhood Collaborative (ELNC), to 70 months in federal prison for orchestrating a $1.4 million fra¥d scheme involving funds meant for vulnerable preschool children.

The court found that Ezeh abused her position at the nonprofit, which was funded by U.S. government agencies and private donors to support children in underserved communities through services such as meals, transportation, and educational assistance.

Judge Hala Jarbou described her conduct as a “fraud and a thief,” saying she carried out a “brazen and widespread” scheme that diverted money intended for “the most vulnerable children” in West Michigan.

According to court records and a statement from U.S. authorities, Ezeh pleaded guilty in December 2025 to wire fraud, conspiracy, and tax evasion. She admitted that between 2017 and 2023, she worked with others, including co-conspirator Sharon Killebrew, to steal about $1.4 million from ELNC.

The court also ordered her to pay $1.4 million in restitution and an additional $390,174 to the Internal Revenue Service for tax evasion. She received a concurrent 60-month sentence for the tax offence.

Authorities said ELNC shut down in 2023 as a result of the fraud, leading to the loss of funding for several preschools in West Michigan and the layoff of 35 employees without notice.

U.S. Attorney Timothy VerHey condemned the actions, stating that donor and taxpayer funds meant for low-income children were instead spent on personal gain, adding that the sentence reflected the seriousness of the offence.

Co-conspirator Sharon Killebrew was earlier sentenced to 54 months in prison for her role in the scheme.
