When you speak of contentment, chai, leave it for the Nigerian Doctors in Nigeria (NGIN), especially nard_nigeria members.
They can hold what they have and even manage they little they are given. Because the believe money is not really everything.
They can trek to a party with billionaires and see nothing wrong with it. Their self esteem is high but no cash.
They can skip breakfast and go to work and tell you it's part of healthy living.
They can advise patients to sleep well but their own bed na book full am (its full of books)
They can complain for others but peem you won't hear them complain about themselves.
And when it come to marriage, them no dey marry pass their level.
You see them buy Toyota Corolla and you think it is an occultic spell.
No oo
They are content.
They can even manage anything they see in the Hospital just to save a life or to stabilize patient.
They feel the time it takes to complain, so many things could have happened to worsen the state of the patients.
They keep enduring until even they themselves start having complications of chronic suffering.
Then they look back at their contented life and realise that they had been dreaming all the while.
There is no medical subject called contentment in school, yet the ace it.
No remuneration comes to people who are content. Because you are contented.
Rents and too often.
This is why we must all come to reason with the real reasons why NARD has been on strike.
Its been 17 days now and the Resident Doctors of the Federal Republic of Nigeria has been on strike.
Whats sad is that many people still dont know the repercussion of this.
The Resident Doctors are the life force of every tertiary hospital. They are the future of the health care of the nation. Aside thr fact that duebto the low pay and poor working conditions a huge lot have migrated to other countries, some who stayed back a left to suffer the shameful roth left behind of what used to be a world class health care centre.
I refuse to think contentment is the way forward at this point. If we are not calling for our right, demanding for something better to save the people with, our contentment will be evil.
An evil left to walk about in broad daylight.
