26. 1:03anything else happen
27. 1:04no that's age aging another year
28. 1:08OCD still traveling my mother Sarah my
29. 1:13mother Sarah if it's troubling her she
30. 1:14should really seek professional help for
31. 1:16OCD you know clinical psychologists can
32. 1:18do a lot of great work and some
33. 1:20medications as well I've got a baby
34. 1:22brother called Lucas I'll be suffice
35. 1:26no job useless yeah our incomes not
36. 1:32doing the greatest now I better get
37. 1:34myself a job I'm already three years old
38. 1:38I'm ready to work my growth is being
39. 1:41stunted due to inadequate protein 33
40. 1:44percent of Nigeria's people are shorter
41. 1:45than they would be due to insufficient
42. 1:47protein in their diets Wow nice new job
43. 1:50as a farmer so hopefully that's gonna
44. 1:54pan up out and come a little bit nope no
45. 1:55mind that was pretty short-lived
46. 1:59alrighty oh damn my brother just died
47. 2:03from whooping cough
48. 2:04seems matter damn what sucks all right
49. 2:09Lucas I will be a doctor in your stead
50. 2:13and now I've got asthma you know it's
51. 2:16kind of interesting that I developed
52. 2:18asthma living in a situation like this
53. 2:20given that I was probably exposed to so
54. 2:21many possible allergens so you know
55. 2:23based on the that the allergy hypothesis
56. 2:29you know I should have a low risk of
57. 2:32developing these of atopic conditions
58. 2:35but anyway must be genetic
59. 2:38there's polygamy in Nigeria OCD is still
60. 2:44traveling my mother she needs to see
61. 2:46someone about that let's work hard to
62. 2:48afford that for her still malnourished
63. 2:52my resistance is nothing I'm
64. 2:54immunocompromised
65. 2:56and very unhappy probably because I'm so
66. 2:59immunocompromised and short due to
67. 3:00inadequate protein intake my family is
68. 3:04hanging and hanging it up I don't have
69. 3:07safe water anymore I don't have a lot of
70. 3:09things anymore actually a little dive
71. 3:11asthma attack like pneumonia effective
72. 3:14exacerbation of asthma
73. 3:15all right I'm six years old I just
74. 3:17thought at school nice all right well
75. 3:21one fifth of Nigerian children die
76. 3:22before the age of five that's crazy
77. 3:24one fifth no one lost her job and my dad
78. 3:28lost his job his job all right so we've
79. 3:31got no income now that's not sounding
80. 3:34super sustainable life has not been kind
81. 3:37to me I'm seven years old guys seven
82. 3:41years old this is the human experience
83. 3:43simulator it's really important to
84. 3:46choose leisure activities if you want to
85. 3:47do medicine you know because not only do
86. 3:49you need to have stress relief but also
87. 3:51early sampling effect means that the
88. 3:53more things that you do and are involved
89. 3:54and you get better at the more
90. 3:56transferable skills you'll likely to
91. 3:57learning so it's always a good idea to
92. 4:00have lots of different hobbies
93. 4:01especially when you're younger and when
94. 4:02I say younger like less than 35 you
95. 4:04should just have lots of different
96. 4:05hobbies things just get involved in a
97. 4:06lot of different stuff so I want to get
98. 4:09into my reading and study definitely I
99. 4:12want to stay reasonably fit and healthy
100. 4:15and let's do sports instead because that
101. 4:18will help us again teamwork and social
102. 4:21skills as well social skills is what
103. 4:24makes your world turn great I'm lazy
104. 4:27fellow now nice trade or have used Goods
105. 4:30well done dad and mum who's a farmer we
106. 4:35were on the rise
107. 4:37this is a shortage of doctors on my wife
108. 4:40and we have got to gonna fix that civil
109. 4:44war that doesn't sounds great
110. 4:47do I want a pet now the thing is right a
111. 4:50pet is a serious commitment if you're
112. 4:52getting a pit you got to keep you know
113. 4:55looking after it for life we are not in
114. 4:57a financial situation where it will be
115. 5:00responsible to own a pit so the answers
116. 5:03gonna be no I would love to have a pit
117. 5:05but it would be irresponsible whoa
118. 5:09my father has what urethritis you'd have
119. 5:12gonorrhea now so now where did he get
120. 5:16the gonorrhea from like the the mom have
121. 5:19gonorrhea as well like they both have
122. 5:21just had gonorrhea this whole time or is
123. 5:23that new because that you know suggests
124. 5:25potentially something else and also if
125. 5:27my mom had it like I didn't get
126. 5:29gonorrhea like through vertical
127. 5:31transmission and and birth did I ok well
128. 5:37there's a question mark via all right
129. 5:40we're a living so we can take up a job
130. 5:41now we need a we need a help
131. 5:43you know we're gonna help the fam so as
132. 5:49to see what we qualify for labor a farm
133. 5:52worker substance farmer thief or bigger
134. 5:57some of these options seem bitter than
135. 6:00the others now okay honestly I think
136. 6:02being a shoemaker sounds pretty cool and
137. 6:05kind of interesting so I'm gonna apply
138. 6:07for that and also low risk and you know
139. 6:11working with hands transferable skills
140. 6:14or surgery a little bit too gonna I'm 11
141. 6:17years old I can move out I'm a living

145. 6:27dad well done
146. 6:28you know dad gonorrhea is very treatable
147. 6:31you can you can really just get
148. 6:32medication from it and it's not really
149. 6:33one of those things that you want to
150. 6:34save up money to to afford I know our
151. 6:38family income is not super awesome but
152. 6:40some of your friends smoke cigarettes it

167. 7:15okay it's okay
168. 7:16romantic relationships take away the

283. 12:23medical training program but good for me
284. 12:25and probably good for Nigeria too
285. 12:27I've addressed I've graduated with a
286. 12:30degree in medicine and did it so

293. 12:57physical limitations it's 58 but I mean
294. 13:00like you know Nigerian lifespan I don't
295. 13:03know how long that even is so there's a
296. 13:05shortage of doctors Nigeria I should be
297. 13:07guaranteed at this job you know what I'm
298. 13:08gonna work overtime because it's not
299. 13:12optional realistically to not work
300. 13:14overtime and look our socioeconomic
301. 13:17status has just gone way above the
302. 13:20country's average basically double that
303. 13:21our socioeconomic status is now high so
304. 13:24that should give me a lot of freedom to
305. 13:27do you know a lot of things and we're
306. 13:31gonna we're gonna emigrate let's move to
307. 13:33a different country let's move to should

309. 13:45Australia you get paid more in Australia
310. 13:47than in New Zealand all right let's move
311. 13:51to Sydney Sydney's high cost of living
312. 13:54so maybe somewhere in the middle like
313. 13:56Melvin we're movin now and but we
314. 13:59homeless so we're gonna move in to
315. 14:03somewhere oh that was moving back and
316. 14:07was my parents I screwed that one off I
317. 14:09owned the house there okay I need a yeah
318. 14:13I screwed that one up ask for raises a
319. 14:17doctor that's accurate
320. 14:18I can work overtime but you know what
321. 14:19life's worth more than that I have you
322. 14:24wreaths rightist due to chlamydia I
323. 14:26thought I was declining all those
324. 14:28romantic relationships must have been um
325. 14:33must touch the Koala when I went to
326. 14:35Australia that brief moment oh my father
327. 14:38just died from an opportunistic
328. 14:39infection opportunistic infection means
329. 14:42that it's an infection that occurs for
330. 14:44people that have reduced immunity
331. 14:47and it's they usually just normal
332. 14:50microbes with bacteria that live on your
333. 14:52skin or liver that part of you normally
334. 14:56don't cause an issue until you become
335. 14:58immunocompromised and then it becomes a
336. 14:59problem
337. 15:00all right left immigrated I'm homeless
338. 15:03in Melbourne my average family income
339. 15:06now is like hella high my family
340. 15:11expenses per month
341. 15:12I like 10 Australian dollars quite good
342. 15:16quite good that's on that's that's maybe
343. 15:18not be homeless though that's you know
344. 15:20that's a stop I'm suffering from severe
345. 15:23malnutrition I have an optimal diet why
346. 15:27am i suffering from severe malnutrition
347. 15:29all right no I don't really know how to
348. 15:31go more optimal than an optimal diet you
349. 15:34know I'm 41 now and I'm just kind of
350. 15:36wonder like why is my health well maybe
351. 15:41it's because I've got chlamydia still
352. 15:43why treat that why why is my health so
353. 15:50low like really why is my health so low
354. 15:54I'm gonna die soon and like my house is
355. 15:5718% I've lived such a healthy life hmm a
356. 16:01low risk huge profit venture for 341,000
357. 16:05and a do that is somewhat cloudy I'm
358. 16:10just gonna say no unless that Prince I
359. 16:14made friends with when I was growing up
360. 16:16in Nigeria finally wants to give me will
361. 16:18that money I'm gonna get a relationship
362. 16:21with this random girl I just found Layla
363. 16:25because I'm 49 I'm probably gonna die
364. 16:28soon
365. 16:29maybe propose you know that's great and
366. 16:34that's trafford child I'm infertile
367. 16:37great well I just found that out I guess
368. 16:42I don't have to worry about that at
369. 16:43least and yeah so she for Pope she
370. 16:46accepted my proposal and then she broke
371. 16:48up
372. 16:49Thanks at this stage I don't really know
373. 16:51what else to do so I guess I'm just kind
374. 16:53of waiting to die since I've got it time
375. 16:57anyway oh I cannot take any action
376. 17:00because I'm dead I guess that's
377. 17:02something that happens to me this year
378. 17:03yeah I died from an opportunistic
379. 17:05infection I was born in Nigeria and died
380. 17:09from an opportunistic infection you
381. 17:13could not donate any of your organ
382. 17:14because of my medical condition that was
383. 17:16life that was interesting anyway so I
384. 17:20became a doctor at the end but I still
385. 17:22died because I guess I lived the first
386. 17:24like thirty years of my life and total
387. 17:26poverty in Nigeria so I don't know I
388. 17:31don't know how realistic that was
389. 17:32because I moved to Australia and I had
390. 17:34higher as incomes and medically I party
391. 17:37was it would have been able to change my
392. 17:38lifestyle factors enough to avoid a lot
393. 17:41of that so I don't know about that that
394. 17:43was kind of easy because all I had to do
395. 17:45was study I don't know maybe next time
396. 17:47I'll try to do something else like
397. 17:49create a successful business
