I’m asking the internet to do something scary:
*Please Take a chance on me*
My name is Assumpta. I’m a Nigerian creative writer living with cerebral palsy, and I’ve spent my entire life learning how to pursue opportunities in a world that doesn’t always make room for my body
Dear Nigerians, I need you to help me get @MTNNG attention as every means we have tried has failed. Help me repost as many times as possible.
Six days ago, my household purchased MTN fibre X because the remote job my sister got requested for a fibre network and specifically running at 300mbps. This was a criteria for getting the job which was to start on Monday, 7th of September, 2026.
MTN sent an installer to my house and after installation, the guy confirmed it was working and running on 50mbps, we immediately corrected him that we paid for the premium plan, a hundred thousand naira, which is 300mbps, while the basic plan (50mbps) is 30 thousand naira.
He simply said, that's a back end problem, my job here is done.
Since Last week Saturday till now MTN has refused to do anything about it. We have called their care line over 300 times and have sent series of emails. We have sent several messages here on X per their request, yet they leave us hanging the moment we send the details they need with no tangible solution or response.
One week has gone out of a one month plan my sister has been unable to use. I beg MTN To either refund us, or fix this situation and the data must start counting from when it was fixed.
MTN at this point send your installer to come and take the router away, the same way you sent them to install it. @MTNNG@fccpcnigeria@NgComCommission
Man, there’s really something about public service in Nigeria that turns people into embarrassments. Because why is such a rated policeman saying this trash in a system where police regularly abuse power and brutalize citizens. Such a disgrace. Spits.
1. All your officers are supposed to have body cams for evidence and their own safety.
2. People record for their safety and evidence. If your officers are doing their jobs professionally, they need not worry about being on record.
3. This is 2026. Let's act like it abeg!
You know it's amazing (very flattering) that this song is 90% yoruba without any of the 3 artists being from the tribe.
It's God that will punish tribalism!
We have a maintenance problem in Nigeria. Dora Akunyili laid the groundwork, she did the hard part. Oya maintain it. Problem.
Fashola too. Did good work in Lagos. Oya maintain. Issue.
Why is no one taking the fact that a senator was exposed for allegedly having relations with terrorist serious … why hasn’t he been arrested and investigated yet?
You didn’t think to blame the security agencies that had been duly informed beforehand, as required by protocol. That is a trauma response: when you, the person who has been wronged, finds a way to blame yourself for the evil done to you instead of holding the offender accountable.
We were even tipped off that even if PO had made it past their initial barricade, they had already mobilised to ambush us at our intended destination.
So who else knew our destination, apart from the security personnel in the state who had been informed by our people?
These security officers watched as the thugs advanced towards us in the most hostile manner possible, yet made absolutely no effort to stop even one of them.
At what point do we stop blaming the victims and start asking serious questions of those whose duty it was to protect them?
This only goes to proof that if insecurity prolongs beyond 48 hours, the government is responsible for it. The Nigerian people now know who their enemy is and it’s in our hands if we want to deal with the enemy or fault ourselves.
When people talk about politics and elections as if it's Chelsea vs Arsenal, these are the results.
Elections have real life consequences.
In 2001, in Abuja, African heads of state came to the honest conclusion that if they wanted quality healthcare for their people, they would need to put aside 15% of their annual budgets for health sector. After the "Abuja Declaration", health workers we're so excited about the good things to come.
For context, the UK spends 38%, the US-26%, Saudi spends about 20%.
Guess what Nigeria budgeted on healthcare in 2025? A measly 5%. Like our leaders agreed that 15% was needed and decided the lives of Nigerians were not so important and implemented 5% instead.
How will there be bed spaces? There are about 79 federal tertiary hospitals, if you add state hospitals, there are about 120 tertiary hospitals catering for 200 million people.
The health workers we're are complaining about their attitudes are stretched to the limit and are barely standing.
A nurse who is ideally supposed to nurse 4-6 patients, is put in charge of 15-20 patients, all while earning less than N200k. If they attends to each patient the way they ideally should, they cannot possibly cater to all the patients under them. They don't have the allowance of time to be patient or polite as you'd want them to be.
The same nurse switches to a private hospital or goes abroad and becomes the sweetest soul because they aren't under the pressure cooker that is the average Nigerian public hospital.
About 60 thousand doctors are currently serving a population of 200million. If that doesn't make you worried, I don't know what will.
Doctors are grossly overworked and underpaid as well. I did 5 surgeries in a 24hr span during my last call, and I promise you I didn't feel like being polite or empathetic at the end of the 5th surgery because I was feeling like collapsing myself. This is my 5th year of residency and I've been on annual leave once, 3 years ago. Health workers are running on fumes and deserve credit for just showing up instead of running away to better climes.
Meanwhile the over 200 million Nigerians whose lives have literally been endangered by our leaders prefer to assault health care workers after a loss due to systemic failures rather than channel that rage against their wicked leaders.
Your fellow celebrities, who themselves have witnessed firsthand the dysfunction of Nigerian healthcare will still come out to endorse the same people who are stealing the resources that are supposed to cater for the health of all Nigerians. You will probably also endorse APC too, should the opportunity arise.
Finally, Paraphrasing @Wizarab10 , we all get the love (or leaders) we think we deserve.
Nigeria never happen to this one 😂
My mother just died this morning from a kidney problem
