We are their voice, their comfort, and their hero. Each day brings new challenges and triumphs, and each patient l...
HELLO NIRCLE
#HelloNircle I grew up wanting to become a Medical Doctor, however, my passion for human medicine got replaced by a profession that is just slightly different from it - Veterinary Medicine! It happened that my Mother and I were strolling in the neighborhood when we sighted a Goat that got hit by a motorcycle. I asked my mother if it would survive, she told me the honest truth - son, there's not a single doctor here that can help the poor goat. That was the turning point! I wanted to become s...
WHISPERS OF THE CONGO - DAY 7
#neighbors WHISPERS OF THE CONGO - DAY 7 At first, I wanted to take you my dear Readership into the Sambisa Forest, Nigeria.

The Congo Forest, also known as the Congo Basin, is the second-largest tropical rainforest in the world and It is located in central Africa, spanning across six countries: - Democ...

RIVER NIGER - AFRICA'S RIVERS AND LAKES (DAY 5)
#neighbors RIVER NIGER - AFRICA'S RIVERS AND LAKES (DAY 5). Whilst we were growing up, I can still remember that there's this poem we were taught in Nursery 2 - "there are 5 major Rivers in Africa - Nile, Niger, Congo, Orange and Zambezi". Today, seeing that we are to talk about one of the Rivers in Africa is giving me goosebumps.. memories flood my head. I will be eulogizing the River Niger because I have known it for so long and even though it originally originated from Guinea, it still tr...

DESERT AND DUNES - DAY 3
#neighbors DESERT AND DUNES - DAY 3. Foremost, I would love to begin by differentiating between Deserts and Dunes. Desert is a dey and often hot region with limited vegetation and rainfall while Dunes are mound or ridges of loose sand particles. Dunes are often found in deserts, however,not all dunes are found in deserts and not all deserts have dunes. I hope you get it? Now, let's talk about the Sahara Desert. I have a very fond memory of that desert. Whilst growing up, whenever my pastor...

During the #MyNircleFeeds and #NircleFeeds 31 Days

Day 31 - African Celebrations
The Eyo Festival or Adamu Orisa, is one of the most striking and traditional Lagos’ events. It only happens on the island of Lagos and is celebrated occasionally, without periodicity (it is celebrated on a Saturday) which makes this event rare and exclusive. Eyos (the masquerades) celebrate a Oba´s (king) life. Eyo Festival is a homage to his death. The ritual is also organized to commemorate the election of a new leader. Traditionally, it only occurs at these times. Nowadays, and because i...
THE GREAT MIGRATION: WILDEBEESTS EPIC JOURNEY
THE GREAT MIGRATION: WILDEBEESTS EPIC JOURNEY. If I am not mistaken, I think the first time I heard the word "Wildebeests" was in Prof. Bisala's Systemic Pathology Class (It was the Malignant Cattarrhal Fever Class) and in fact, I spelt it as "Wild beasts", lol. I guess someone then asked for the spelling and that was how I corrected it. But, it got me thinking and I was like what on earth are Wildebeests again for God's sake? Boom, I decided to read about them. Wildebeests are large hooved ...

TEN MOST INTELLIGENT ANIMALS
TEN MOST INTELLIGENT ANIMALS We were in class one of those beautiful days when Prof. Okolocha decided to drop some of "words on marbles" and this particular one stuck in my head there and then. He said "Intelligence is the ability to see, especially when the lights are off".. The classroom erupted like the eruption of the volcanoes. Now, come to think of it, what Animals.. just ten of them, have the ability to see even when the lights are off? To answer this, I made a very small research and ...

They also developed a writing system and had advanced knowledge of astronomy and mathematics. The No...
FROM WOMB TO CLAN: PARTURITION IN FEMALE HYENAS
FROM WOMB TO CLAN: PARTURITION IN FEMALE HYENAS. Dear Readership, Nature would want to whine you, but no panic, lol. In my last Blog Post "Pseudopenises: The Intriguing Portals of Life", we delved into the unique features of Female Spotted Hyenas - Their Pseudopenises, and that cemented the fact that they are very special species of animals as they use these pseudopenises to pee, to mate and even to give birth (Isn't this mind-blowing? Of course, it is) and this is why I had to purpose in my h...
DAY 27 - DAY IN THE LIFE
DAY 27 - DAY IN THE LIFE. The typical day for me in Nigeria is typical for every Nigerian Student. I wake up 4:30am for prayers and devotion and by 5:00am, I am done. Afterwards, I do very light exercises and then head for the bathroom to shower and prepare for school. At 6:50am, I am already in class till around 1pm (break time) and this is when I take my brunch (breakfast and lunch combined, lol). I guess I am no longer used to eating breakfasts anymore.

Challenge Overcome - Day 26
Challenge Overcome - Day 26 Growing Up, I have always told you how that I never mingled with people and children of my age as I always get cooped. This actually has a lot of side-effects and one of them is Inability to socialize. And that was it. The first problem I had as a Youth was my inability to socialize with people. I preferred to stay in my shell instead of going out. I always preferred to stay in my room instead of for for programs. I preferred not to speak with people instead of soci...

Day 24 - African proverb
Day 24 - African Proverb. "When the bird is in the air, it does not know where it wings will take it". - Chinua Achebe. This highlights the uncertainty and unpredictability of life's journey. Just like the bird in flight, we may not always know where our choices, actions or circumstances will lead us. It emphasizes the importance of adaptability, resilience, and trust in the face of uncertainty. #AfricanProverb. #NircleFeeds #MyNircleFeeds

EXERCISES are very great. #NircleFeeds #MyNircleFeeds
