Why Do Some Nigerians Think Being A Male Nursing Student Is An Abomination???!!!

I am a student studying nursing in Nigeria. I got a lot of recommendations and commendations when I settled down for this course. I was bred up to be a Medicine and Surgery student.

I was advised to choose this because it’s professional and not lengthier and can end up with a good job abroad or even here by God’s grace. Plus as it stands now, I don’t want to waste so much time in school in order to settle down and get a good job and do something for myself.

But when people hear of my course they look at me somehow. I get belittled.

I am a guy… Is there something wrong with studying this or should I change it??

I wanted to study Biochemistry but I was chastised against it.

I’ve already gained admission oooo…
I’m bewildered…
