Joke – My Chief!


The words, ‘Chief’, ‘My Chief’ mean different things to different people. If you are traditionally minded, it could mean a traditional ruler. If you are medically inclined, it’s used for a senior colleague. There was this senior medical doctor (Chief) who took pride in tormenting a junior colleague. This went on forever. The junior colleague now found a way to make light of the situation. He bought a dog and named it ‘chief.’

So, each morning, he goes to work and receives doses of abuse from his human ‘Chief.’ Then, when he closes from work, he goes home to his animal ‘Chief’:

“Chief, come here. What’s wrong with you? Is your brain the size of peanuts? Why did you wee-wee and pooh-pooh on the rug? You are just like your mate at work.”

The next morning, he goes to work and pay homage to his human ‘Chief’,

“Chief, Chief, (smiling mischievously) you remind me of another Chief I know. Chief! Chief! ”

Human Chief replies:

“What are you smiling at? Where is the PCV result of this patient? Are you with me or is your ear and brain fibrosed? ”

Well, you can guess the treatment animal ‘Chief’ got at home.

One day, the human ‘Chief’ was passing by the residence of his junior colleague; he decided to drop by for a visit.  When the junior colleague saw his senior colleague, he shouted, ‘Chief!’
Can you guess who ran out to attack? O, poor Chief!

I've closely followed COVID-19 coverage for more than 1 year. Here are my key takeaways. (Part 1)

In January of 2020, I started seeing news of a novel illness in China. At that time, I didn't give it much attention because of the then ongoing impeachment trial of Donald Trump. One of my favourite pastimes is following up on current news and topical issues. So, it was towards the end of the impeachment trial that the news of this new infectious disease in China started picking steam in the traditional and social media. The possibility of a new transmissible infection reaching the shores of Africa, for me, was a dreadful thing to think about because it brings back the memories of the 2014 Ebola crisis in West Africa. As a practicing health care worker in Nigeria, I remember how it felt seeing febrile patients with history of travel to regions with confirmed Ebola cases. The last thing I wanted was to relive that experience. Hence, out of fear, anxiety and much trepidation, I closely followed every key event related to this novel viral illness that later came to be named COVID-19 ...

Reflections: A Moment of a Lifetime!

Image
We all have had a moment in our lives that we would always live to remember. That special moment when the earth stood still and the universe became your audience. Yes, that very moment you became the epicenter of the universe. The moment that remains indelibly marked in your heart and mind. That moment he saw her; that moment she saw him, and they both knew that they were meant to be together forever. That moment you stopped in your life’s pursuits and realized that your life has a larger purpose and meaning. That moment you made your life’s dreams come through. That moment you were declared a doctor or lawyer or engineer or the likes of that. Yes, that moment you began your life’s career. That moment you got a promising job. That moment you stepped from the plane and you began a new phase of your life. That moment you stood at the altar, took an oath and swore your undying love for your life partner and then opened a whole new chapter in the history of your life. That moment yo...

Reflections: A Sense of Humour! A Sense of Balance!

It helps to look at the light side of things. If someone insults you or make you angry, can you look at the funny side of it and smile about it, it can go a long way to ease the tension! When you sense that people laugh at you because of a defect you have, can you preempt them by joking about it? For example, I’m short and dark. If someone wants to pick on me, that will be his first point of call. So, I joke a lot about my been short and dark like, ‘black pot’, ‘black charcoal’, ‘briefly summarized’, etc such that when so insulted that won’t be the first time. Don’t be discouraged, whatever defect you have if you can’t change it then take advantage of it. What you lack vertically, you can make up horizontally. What you lack in length, you can make up in width. What you lack in colour, you make up in contour. What you lack anteriorly, you can make up posteriorly. What you lack superiorly, you can make up inferiorly. What you lack outwardly, you can make up in...
