Joy William, a US-based Nigerian registered nurse, has claimed that she earns in just two hours what a Nigerian doctor makes in an entire month.

She stated this via X on Monday, February 16, 2026 while addressing Nigerian doctors who “look down on nurses”

“For those of you Nigerian Dr who look down on Nurses just know that as a Registered Nurse, 2 hours is only what it takes me to earn what a Nigerian Doctor will earn in one month, she wrote.

“No long epistle, just a reminder that sometimes your destiny is heavily tied to your location.

“Same hard work. Same intelligence. Completely different reward.

“If life gives you the opportunity to grow, relocate, or level up… take it. Comfort zones rarely change bank accounts.

“Respect to every professional grinding back home, but never apologize for choosing a life that expands you.”

The Winter Olympic Village in Italy has reportedly run out of condoms just three days after the start of the Games, after Athletes use up 10,000 protection.

“The supplies ran out in just three days,” an anonymous athlete told the Italian newspaper, La Stampa. “They promised us more will arrive, but who knows when.”

Organizers typically distribute thousands of free condoms to athletes staying in the Olympic Village as part of a long-standing public health initiative aimed at promoting safe sex during the Games. However, this year’s supply was quickly depleted within 72 hours, according to reports circulating from inside the Village.

The anonymous athlete blamed the Olympic organisers, saying they had not been “particularly generous with the numbers”. “In Paris the athletes received 300,000 condoms – two per day each – but the numbers for these Winter Games were significantly lower: not even 10,000,” La Stampa’s report states.

Last week the governor of the Lombardy region, Attilio Fontana, insisted the topic should not be a cause of embarrassment. “Yes, we provide free condoms to athletes in the Olympic village,” he said in a social media post. “If this seems strange to some, they’re unaware of the established Olympic practice. It began in Seoul 1988 to raise awareness among athletes and young people about sexually transmitted disease prevention— a topic that shouldn’t cause embarrassment.”

Fontana also shared an Instagram post by the Spanish figure skater Olivia Smart, in which she showed her followers condoms stamped with the yellow Lombardy Region logo. “I found them,” she says in the clip, which has gone viral. “They have everything you need.”

This year’s Winter Olympics has around 2,900 athletes from 92 different national committees participating in 116 different events across 16 disciplines. These 2026 games do have the highest percentage of female athletes (47%) in Winter Games history.

A tragic incident has left many in mourning after a pharmacist lost his life while attempting to save his cousin through a kidney donation.

According to reports, the pharmacist, identified as Kenneth, had volunteered to donate one of his kidneys to his cousin, who had been battling kidney disease.

Moved by compassion and a strong sense of family, Kenneth reportedly stepped forward in hopes that the transplant would give his cousin a new lease on life.

However, the surgical procedure took a devastating turn. Sources say the operation did not go as planned, and Kenneth sadly passed away as a result of complications arising from the process. The incident has since sparked widespread grief and shock among family members, friends, colleagues, and members of the public.

Following the news of his de@th, friends and professional colleagues took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their sorrow, pay tribute to his selflessness, and celebrate his life and dedication both as a healthcare professional and a family man. Many described him as kind-hearted, courageous, and deeply committed to helping others, even at great personal risk.

Kenneth’s tragic passing has left a void in the lives of those who knew him but, beyond that, it has also sparked conversations around organ donation, medical safety, and the immense sacrifices individuals make for their loved ones.
