In a year with so many Ls, I've had my biggest W. I hate to sound cliché😅 but I actually married my best friend last week. I shall now be addressed as Dr Mr Edwin Cole. MBBS IB, H.O.R.S(Husband of a Rhodes Scholar😎). Grateful to God for grace😇.

I said a huge 'Yes' to forever with the love of my life! 🥺
@_edwin_cole
I'm so overwhelmed and happy right now. What an amazing surprise! I had no clue... None at all 😂. My friends are the very best!
Just remembered some wild scene from 2 years ago. Lovely Grandpa had a fracture, went to a traditional bone setter and then had a complication and that was when he thought to inform his son, a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon😂. We were all in shock for weeks🤯😂.
Man I’ve been really quiet here about some Ws I deemed minor, but I really did prepare for IELTS in 7 days, study for PLAB 1 in 5 weeks and passed PLAB 2 without any academy or physical mocks. Grateful to God for grace because Omo! the road was rough😅.
Sometime last year, one of the senior Coles created a whatsapp group to try and reunite the Cole family members. Omo come see quarrel😂. “Your grandfather cheated us and took all the money” “Your Aunty took our land” so so gbas gbos😂. I remember trying to trace our family house
Good lord! 4 months ago, I was robbed on my way back from work. Lost so much! Just some minutes ago, our house was robbed! They've taken everything I have. Everything! I have nothing left! 15+ Gunshots but no physical harm. Please don't call my number for now. Phone's gone!
~7 long years as an undergraduate of the university of Ibadan. And then one random day, my status changed from 'ordinary Brownite' to "Medical Doctor". I'm full of thanks. Now you'll be 100 percent correct when you call me 'Doctor Cole'.
Taking over ALL my parents bills. From rent to upkeep to health bills. Had them resign from full-time employment and put them on additional monthly stipends. In 2023, they’ll enjoy proper luxury.
My favorite part of the morning these days is when we wake up and then I turn on the (very bright) lights, and as my wife tries to close her eyes and snuggle under the duvet, I deepen my voice and go "Even if you are not ready for the day, it cannot always be night..dangg" 😂
Dr Edwin Cole MB;BS (Ibadan). It's complete now. Bachelor of Medicine; Bachelor of Surgery from the best College of Medicine in Sub-Saharan Africa; College of Medicine University of Ibadan.. After 7 long years I'm walking out laughing. Grateful to God.
In Isale Eko many years ago, and I was told that some people sold the property and shared the money😂. So so chaos everywhere. Me I just freed them and started claiming that my own Cole is from England😌
Just remembered when we staged a peaceful protest back in school and some medical elders saw it as disrespectful. Like "how dare these children argue with us? Are we mates?" One woman came like "I'm old enough to be your mother" lol. Oppression dey everywhere sha and we're done.
Passed my practical driving test on the first attempt! 💃🏾
-1 theory test
-31 hours of driving lessons (~£1200 well spent)
-minimal driving experience from Naija
-Loads of youtube videos
-The special grace of God😄.
Passed with 3 minor faults!
During Consultant WR, Consultant 1 says something, consultant 2 disagrees, then faces me and goes "abi what do you think?"
Leemao..why do you pipu want to koba me this early momo😂.
One moment I'm in the hospital saving lives, the next I almost lose mine to armed robbers. These guys didn't even try to ask for my things. They just brought out knives and wanted to stab me. No be so nau😣. If no be small muscle wey I get, na so I for just die😑.
I remember the day I went to visit Hulk at his hospital. There was a crash call so he had to run to attend. Rumour has it that as he did the first compression the patient jumped back to full consciousness😂. Ishan wey dey upgrade GCS🙌🏿😂.

My favourite prank these days is meeting a new Nigerian at work and introducing myself using my very English name (with a faux accent) and then doing the typical British “you alright” “cheers” and right after they tell me the shortened version of their name (as we typically do to
Day 1 of GPST1! Well, more like Day 0 because i’ve chosen to trial 3 long days a week of GP land duty; Wednesdays (free today) for teaching and self directed learning and Friday-Sunday off. South West School of Primary Care! Let’s go!!!
Omo...I feel that the president is being prevented from addressing this issue because if he does he'll embarass himself. One day it'll be exposed that an entire country was being led by a man with dementia.
An old friend sent me 5k yesterday as per how's studies? when are you going to be done? 😂😂😂. Omo please send me pocket money!! I'm your medical student 😁.
*MIRACLE ALERT!*
We're overjoyed to announce that WE'VE REACHED OUR TARGET of *₦4,000,000!* In just a short time, your generosity and kindness have made it possible for Anuoluwagbemiro Salami to receive the surgery she needs. We're deeply grateful for your support, donations
My friend, Aanu, is a distinction student with a very bright future. She should be doing her final exams now, but has had to stall it to fight this battle. Please let’s help her win. Your support would literally change her life.
Examiners need to understand that patients actually LIE. They shouldn't take pride in failing candidates on the basis of eliciting a different history from what a candidate got. Reg and SR asked this woman a question, she denied it, during Conso WR, Consultant asked her and she
Hello! I’m Eddie😁.
I’m a full time UK 🇬🇧Locum doctor atm(actively trying to Locum my way out poverty🙃).
I really enjoy the practice of (the many different specialties in) medicine but I’m also about the soft life, so ofcourse— Aspiring GP.
I like people, so let’s network!
Ran into one of my Profs from Ibadan in the UK and having not recognised me, he introduced himself by his first name. For a split second I was gon go "Nice to meet you *inserts first name*" but won o bi iyalaiya mi da😂. "Oh Sir Good afternoon Sir". Home training intact😂.
This is the tweeet guys!!!
Sit-ups only tone your abdominal muscles. You have to lose overall body fat to lose the belly fat to reveal the toned muscles. Dietary adjustments + Cardio+ Sit-ups is your formula if you want abs.
Let's be honest, belly fat is stubborn, but sit ups will not flatten your stomach
Weight loss teas are a waste of money
Want to lose belly fat? General exercises help you burn excess fat everywhere including your stomok
You can have sick packs covered with layers of adipose
I dey craze small sha🤦. As those guys sped off with my phone, tablet, my bag with all my essentials. The first thing I screamed was "Hey God all my jotters😭" all the medical stuff that I've gathered over the years were in that bag. My IELTS/PLAB notes, my golden Litman Steth😭
“Pregnancy is a physiological state”
Obstetrics texts need to modify this statement.
With all the untoward changes and pathology that come with gestation, it, as best, is a pseudophysiological state.
YOU CAN BE BROKE AND STILL HAVE A SUPER AMAZING LOVE LIFE!!!! and I'm speaking from experience. This generation has attached too much value to Money and Sex and it's so shameful🤦♀️🤦♀️.
I was enjoying myself doing interview upandan, now all of them don send offer letter and I can only choose one🥲. I feel so bad that I've been stalling replying. Who go epp me type rejection mail bayii😢.
Early on in clinical school, i’d hoped to do my residency in Nigeria so I could show many junior colleagues what kindness from a senior feels like and promote a healthy work environment that eventually drives out toxicity from the training system. Well..that ship has flown.
Carrying out post rounds and quickly bringing out my phone to retweet

because na who dem no shoot for head fit dey attend ward round.
Helping people is actually really therapeutic for me. I could be in a bad mood and someone calling to ask for a favour just lifts my mood. From friends to even strangers.
One of the best parts of this housejob is randomly running into bae at work and essentially role playing. Attempting to woo her with the lamest pick up lines😂. I've still not gotten her number cuz she's always playing hard to get🙄.
Just look for my wife, then my family and friends. I don’t really care so much for luxury, so if I was stupendously rich, first thing I’m doing is making sure that these people start balling PRN ! You’ll just see that everyone affiliated with Edwin has gotten richer overnight😂.
Someone on Twitter asked, “If you got stupendously rich and didn’t tell anyone, what would be the signs people would see?”
Ladies and gentlemen, you already know I have answers… here’s a short list of my silent Billionaire -in Dollars- behaviour.
1. My go-to DAILY fashion
Na only for this place I don see Conso wey go enter ward after 4pm, carry steth, carry sphyg, dey check patient vital signs. Conso go come hospital for weekend do round alone, do post-round alone, even enter lab go retrieve result commot🙆😅. Mind-blowing dedication 😅.
@TinuKuye
I've always maintained that biology is really unfair to women. From menstruation to pregnancy to post-partum to menopause. However, it's quite unlikely that someone would die from "pain" in itself. Something else is responsible.
Random thought: Many of y'all on here probably know Chinedu (
@Naey_dhuMD
) more for his culinary skills, but I went to med school with this boy, and I still cannot rap my head around how much of an all-round genius chinedu is😯. Randomly thinking about the things he did /1
I really can't thank y'all enough for all the love and support. I'm super grateful to everyone. Special thanks to my
#medtwitter
family 🥺. May God bless you guys abundantly. Asides the moro-like startling to sudden loud sounds, I feel much better already. God bless you all.
Mehn I love my Chiefs ☺️.The most amazing set of senior colleagues you'd ever find are in FETHI. If I ever have to stay back to do residency in Nigeria for any reason, it'll definitely be in FETHI. Such a happy working environment..damn!
Two months in this place and I don't even know my neighbours😑. Me I cannot live like this o. Boya I should goan knock on this chinese brother's door and offer him eba?
My secondary school teachers: Edwin, you're an exceptionally brilliant chap, you have a future in tech.
Me: No! I want to do Medsin and Sojri.
Shebi I for don be Tech Bro now, they count millions 😭.

Infants cannot rescue themselves from drowning. They cannot be taught to rescue themselves from drowning. Your message is not only insensitive, it's terribly erroneous.
There was once a time when I used to feel a strong compulsion to always pay when I was out with a lady. If I was on a bus/in a cab with a female friend, I'd pay for two, if we went to eat out, I'd pay for two. Later in life I realized that this came from a place of /1
There's this thing some ladies do; slide their ATM card to the guy so it looks like he's the one paying?
Whenever I see that, I see a guy with a fragile ego.
Madam chook your card by yourself, oga, let madam put the pin herself, if you collect her money, collect with your chest
Mehn Goodness is one of the strongest ladies out there! This girl deserves justice. I can't believe that despite all the noise made back then, the guy still walks scott-free. Mehn we need to drag UCH!
@LifeofKitana
The LOML was in my class for 4 years, and I didn't even realize it. Everything I ever wanted in a woman was right in front of me and for years I was clueless. My eyes opened one day and I started setting P Peri- Path&Pharm MB, before the MB was over, she was mine🥰.
From the comfort of my bed, I opened my bank accounts (uploaded relevant documents and all) and had my debit cards delivered to the doorstep. Didn't spend one penny. Didn't need to have any money in the account. Man! This is the "in saner climes" we've been talking about 😅.
Nah. Do a DNA test if you need to, but that first statement is absolutely incorrect. Paternity testing has EVERYTHING to do with trust. Sometimes, it's not abnormal to have reason to mistrust your partner, and it's totally okay to seek to rule out your suspicion. But.../1
DNA Test has NOTHING to do with trust.
The “trust” talk is a lie cooked up by Nigerian women to blackmail and derail men from the huge reality of paternity fraud in our society.
Don’t fall for it
Do the test if you need to.
Do it secretly if you foresee vayolens.
But do it 😂
Many of us not too long ago, became familiar with the concept of emphatic consent, non-violent rape, consent withdrawal etc. In the not-so-distant past, rape was thought to have a more restricted definition- penetrative sexual intercourse achieved through/1
help non-Nigerians pronounce it with ease), I just unleash one “ahn ahn Adebimpe omo iya mi ma fo”😂 or Somfechukwu nwannem kedu. The shock on their face is priceless😂. Always!
Well,I know a lot of women who are not moved by your account balance sha. If you like, have all the money in the world, they love who they love and no amount of luxury would make them ditch their partner for you.
At Primark the other day, these two ladies looked surprised hearing my wife and I speaking pidgin. I initially thought they were some '?foundational blacks' and then Some moments later I heard them speaking the same and then I gave them this "oshey omo iya mi" look😅.
Got a wife I’d die for. Back is orthopaedic standard! Visual acuity 6/6, Mental health -90%(the remaining 10% will enter once I get this driver’s license😂) Na this number 4 na im spoil am😢.
No Healthcare worker has all 5
1. Happy Love Life
2. No Back Pain
3. Good Eyesight
4. Great Social Life
5. Good Mental Health
It takes too much from you tbh
At the start of this year, I hoped for 2 things with regards to my housemanship year. 1. To do it outside UCH. 2. To intern in the same place with bae. It's the end of the year now, but it's the start of housemanship year..outside UCH..in the same place with bae🥰
8 months into housejob and I still have people texting/calling me asking "How's school? 😟. E be like sey I gast go post more induction pics for facebook😑.
My friend, Aanu, is a distinction student with a very bright future. She should be doing her final exams now, but has had to stall it to fight this battle. Please let’s help her win. Your support would literally change her life.
Urgent Help Needed! 🚨
Please support Anuoluwagbemiro Salami, a final-year dental student, diagnosed with Lumbar canal stenosis secondary to a disc herniation after repeated, debilitating episodes of pain and paraesthesia which has severely affected her left leg.

Doing house job without academic meetings is just not it😣.I don't mind repeating 3 months of internal medicine. Just bring back morning review, mortality and morbidity, medical student presentation, grand rounds pleeeeeeaaaaaaseeeeee😣. Not all this "CT present line of mgt" 😣😣
"Till death do us part" needs to be deleted from marital vows IMO. This very line has led many (women) to their untimely deaths. Longevity is not equal to success in relationships. We really need to change a lot of these societal norms.
As a female doctor, the appropriate response to being mistaken for a nurse by less educated folks shouldn't be anger. Think about it, why do you get angry? because you think of a nurse as a less important person? It wouldn't kill you to smile and simply respond "Oh I'm a doctor.
