We hired someone with ZERO experience.
We thought he would be a great fit with our startup culture so we took a chance.
Since then he has caused us multiple losses and antagonised our loyal customers.
All am saying is real life ain't LinkedIn.
Do due diligence.
For pharmacy students,
I've compiled a list of all the institutions that offer pharmacy internship places in all the states in Nigeria.

The honest truth is you can't do Locum forever.
If you're currently a locum pharmacist looking to enter the industry proper, medical sales or public health, I have a few tips.

For Pharmacists, there's been a lot of excitement as the Govt approved the Consultant Pharmacist cadre in the civil service.
If there's enough interest, I'll do a thread tonight on what this could mean for Nigerian Pharmacy practice in the short and long term.
I met a pharmacist on my flight.
Senior vice president of a global Health tech startup in the public health and supply chain space.
I was impressed!
So I researched what it takes for pharmacists to excel in public health and supply chain.
50 RTs and I'll do a thread.
I think pharmacists in community practice are the most agile pharmacists practicing in Nigeria.
High clinical knowledge
Sales & marketing
Education and counselling
Public health
Injection & Vaccines
First aid
Some have even gone digital
Dear Pharmacists,
Pay attention!
We have to move beyond pill pushing & dispensing.
Think:
✓ Marketing in a digital world.
✓ Logistics and supply chain.
✓ Tech interventions in the patient's consumer journey.
Yesterday, I completed an international marketing collaboration with brilliant marketing execs from all over the world.
I was probably the youngest and least experienced collaborator.
I was also the only Nigerian.
Here are few things I learned.
I need 30 pharmacists and pharmacy students to follow this account.
Twitter is the strongest community for us to drive change and innovation in our industry.
We need to get this account to over 4000 strong community.
Let's go!
I've shared almost 200 multinational vacancies hiring traditional & non traditional roles for pharmacists in Nigeria
(0-8 years of experience)
If anyone is interested, I'll do a thread of the skills and certifications that were required in most of the JDs.
500 Likes for the🧵
Type of pharmacists I like:
Creative, fun, social life, interesting, communal, shares information freely, collaborates, active on Twitter, does other stuff asides pharmacy practice, does not wear plain trouser with sandals.
I've posted nothing less than 500 jobs for pharmacists from 0-5 years of experience since I joined NAIP.
(Not one single Locum)
If there's enough interest, I'll share the top 10 skills I've noticed in high demand by the MNCs.

What I want to do is to setup a social network for pharmacists that have that different vibe.
Entertainment, tech, crypto, fitness, fashion, etc.
If I get like 500 likes on this tweet I'm setting it up.
No long.
I believe that all community pharmacies should have a pharmacist present at all times.
I also believe that the pharmacist there present should earn nothing less than 500/hr.
What do you guys think?
Officially one year since I packed my 23kg bag and left Nigeria for Canada in the middle of the night.
Thank God for Baraka wey share update and my Madam wey no gree me relax till we land Toronto Pearson.
Excited for life mehn can’t explain.
Alright.
Thread starts here.
A consultant pharmacist is a pharmacist who works as a consultant providing expert advice on clinical pharmacy, academic pharmacy or practice, public health pharmacy, industrial pharmacy, community practice, pharmaceutical analysis etc.

Igbo people are too proud. Someone will show you where to park in Enugu and won't beg you for money. Smh
Come to Lagos and see how your mates are hustling.
The Pharmacists Council of Nigeria is commencing the registration and licensing of all internet and social media providers of pharmaceutical services in the country from January 2022.
If there is enough interest, I'll do a thread of the requirements to set up an online pharmacy
The NAIP Whatsapp group created for young pharmacists is intended to update young pharmacists and pharmacy students about the activities of the Association of Industrial Pharmacists.
We also share job opportunities and Fellowships.
Wanna join?
Dear Pharmacist,
If you have even 1 year of experience, and an above average zeal to succeed, please start applying for those managerial roles.
This is our time to take over.
What I really want to do is teach pharmacists who have only community experience how to switch up their experience and skills, to explore everything that this degree has to offer.
The disillusion is too much!
I want to connect with pharmacy students that are doing other stuff like graphic design, content creation, web design, making music or art.
The future of the profession
Career fair for young pharmacists 0-5 years of experience.
Opportunity to meet and network with the Executives of the Pharma companies that make up the National association of Industrial Pharmacists.
3 Fairs.
Lagos. Abuja. Port Harcourt.
I am very focused on profitable Digital Interventions for Pharmacists
so if there is enough interest I'll share a thread of ethical Digital interventions that community pharmacists can implement right away for chikini money.

If you're still in school, please log out of Social Media and focus squarely on your books.
Social media will still be here when you graduate.
That's all I can say for now.
Proud to announce the ultimate Pharma Career Workshop
organised by one of Pharma's best-kept secrets
@OkerekeMelody
who is a 3rd-year pharma student!
Omo mind = blown!
This is awesome!
Guys let's create massive awareness for this program! Details are on the fliers.
Come on!!
They’re loads of pharmacists who move to Canada without the intention of registering and licensing as pharmacists in Canada.
I believe this is an underserved demographic in terms of resources and community.
NPIC is evolving to bridge that gap.
For 2021, I'm earning in dollars, growing my business exponentially, leaving Pharma, and taking a well deserved vacation outside Nigeria with the love of my life.
Speaking it.
I'm also looking to hire 4 pharma product managers for branded generic multinationals in Lagos
If you are a pharmacist with 2+ years of sales experience please consider product management. Exponential gains.
Kindly DM if you have any personal recommendation 🙏🏽
Interviewed 11 interns last week for EazyBrands and hired 6.
SIX!
We are now responsible for the education and welfare of 6 whole people.
I feel like a new dad.
Excited much
Dear young Nigerian pharmacists
WAKE UP!
The burden of healthcare in this country lies on our shoulders now.
There is so much to do.
We have to take charge of ALL our spaces.
No charlatans allowed
This is our moment.
Wake up and act like it.
Hi Taxify?
- Yes. where are you sir?
Ikeja.
- please sir where are you going?
Airport
-Okay sir. MM1 or MM2
MM1.
-Okay sir. Please is it cash trip or card.
Card.
-Please I can't go for card trip sir. Please cancel the trip so that you won't slip there.
Sigh.
I reiterate that the minimum remuneration for a post internship locum pharmacist should be 500/ hour.
If a pharmacy outlet can not pay this minimum, they should not employ.
