The World Cup begins tomorrow, and many will watch the matches. Soccer reminds us of something we must not forget: life is not a race to show off on our own, but a path we learn to walk together. Anyone who does not know how to pass the ball, even if they have talent, has not yet understood the game. Anyone who does not know how to live with and for others has not yet understood life. #ApostolicJourney

PRESS STATEMENT
POSTPONEMENT OF THE 5TH GLOBAL HIGH-LEVEL MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE ON ANTIMICROBIAL RESISTANCE (AMR)

Abuja, Nigeria 09 June 2026 — The Federal Government of Nigeria wishes to inform stakeholders, partners, delegates, and the public that the 5th Global High-Level Ministerial Conference on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), previously scheduled to hold in Abuja from 28 to 30 June 2026, has been postponed.

This decision follows extensive consultations with key stakeholders and partners involved in preparations for the Conference. A new date for the Conference will be communicated in due course.

Our sincere appreciation goes to the Troika, the Global Leaders Group on Antimicrobial Resistance (AMR), the Quadripartite Joint Secretariat on AMR, Member States, development partners, international organisations, civil society groups, academia, youth networks, and other stakeholders for their continued support, collaboration, and commitment to the successful hosting of the Conference.

I saw a trending video of H.E Hope Uzodinma, where he kept stumbling on a particular word while reading a speech, so I thought to make a video with a tip on how to handle yourself if you ever get stuck in that situation 😻

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Silence can help us most to recognize the voice of God, since it fosters attention and recollection. Freed from the noise of a thousand voices, we come to recognize that some voices deceive our desires, others buy us without nourishing us, and still others speak out of self-interest. In silence, we understand that ideologies pass away, while truth remains. https://t.co/lbaMqHx1cJ

This is all the evidence you need to know that this government is not interested in stopping terrorism because if they can track this guy down, they can also track down terrorists who are actively posting on TikTok.

Forget the coastal superhighway.

Do you know that what Buhari spent on medical tourism alone could build 564 of this hospital at ₦83 billion each?

That's 15 hospitals per state.

That's not all. The ₦210 trillion missing in the NNPC audit could build 2,530 hospitals. That's 68 per state.

Nigeria is a poor country my foot

@DailyLoud I love the moment when the world record for the Rubik's Cube was broken after five years, and the staff stepped in to stop the audience from touching it.

I've never been at a medical conference where the results have been greeted with a standing ovation

Tremendous breakthrough in pancreatic cancer treatment

Through science

Hard work, rigorous research, clinical trials.

Science

Not the quack pseudoscience of social media

[Elaunire @elaunireMD]

They blame systemic issues on the HCWs.

1. They hate the doctor because they spend a long time before being seen in a public hospital. Forgetting it’s one doctor alone seeing over 40 patients.

2. They hate the nurse because she’s not by their bedside to feed and change diapers every time. Forgetting she’s the only one nursing over 25 patients.

3. They hate that HCWs don’t run like it’s portrayed in movies. Forgetting the HCW here is overworked and underpaid unlike the ones in movies.

4. They hate that the HCWs send them to buy other things and do some tests outside. Forgetting that it’s not even the HCWs duty to keep those things in the hospital.

[Dr. Priyam Bordoloi @DocPriyamMD]

Saw a patient today with a hemoglobin of 1.9 g/dL. For context, a level that low is almost incompatible with normal consciousness, but she walked right into the clinic on her own feet.

For three long years, she lived with crushing weakness and since last 6 months breathlessness from just walking across a room. Why didn’t she get help sooner? At first, it was because the kids had crucial school exams and later her husband was reluctant to deal with the hassle of a hospital admission.

Her health was treated as a background inconvenience.
When we dug deeper, it got worse. A year ago, her Hb was 6.4 g/dL. A doctor explicitly told them she needed immediate admission. The family refused, walked out with a basic strip of iron tablets, she took them for two weeks, forgot about them, and nobody in the house ever bothered to check on her or remind her.

She didn't even come to the hospital today because of the air hunger. She came because her periods had completely stopped for months. Her body was so profoundly starved of iron and oxygen that it literally shut down her reproductive axis just to divert what little blood she had left to her heart and brain.

It’s completely heartbreaking. A woman will literally bleed her body dry, gasp for air for years and keep working silently, only to be brought to a doctor when her normal functioning stops.

Please check on the women in your homes. Stop letting them normalize chronic exhaustion.

Being strict is gold!
I hacked it 4 years ago

Let's say I have an exam to prepare for and I need 4 hours a day to read, this is what I do

I drop my phone off for that 4 hours and nothing. absolutely nothing can make me pick my phone up that time. In that 4 hours even if Elon Musk calls I won't pick. All calls are ignored, all texts are ignored.

People get offended, but it don't matter to me because I have studied and passed my exams.

I apply this to every other thing I want badly.
I lock in, block ALL the noise and focus.
It offends people who try to reach out to me, but I don't care.

Its my life

🚨PRESS RELEASE ISSUED BY THE NBA UYO BRANCH ON THE UNWARRANTED AND VIOLENT INVASION OF THE UNIVERSITY OF UYO TEACHING HOSPITAL BY OPERATIVES OF THE ECONOMIC AND FINANCIAL CRIMES COMMISSION (EFCC) UYO ZONAL COMMAND

[Peter Obi @PeterObi]

Teargas in a Hospital, a Thoughtless Act.

I have just read the recent troubling reports of how the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in a bid to arrest Professor Eyo Ekpe, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and deputy chairman of the hospital’s medical advisory committee.

While I understand and respect the fact that the EFCC, and indeed, all other government agencies have their constitutional rights to do their jobs without interference, the manner in which some of these jobs are carried out is often deeply troubling.

Reportedly, the EFCC operatives who stormed the hospital shot some teargas canisters within the hospital premises which sent medical staff and patients running for safety. This thoughtless act greatly compromised the general safety in the hospital environment and further jeopardised the health of the medical personnel and the sick people in the hospital.

I have always said that the most fundamental intangible asset upon which any nation functions effectively is the rule of law and order. The disorderliness allegedly demonstrated by the EFCC operatives at the hospital must not be encouraged. Nothing justifies the use of teargas canisters in a fragile hospital environment. Do we not realise that our hospitals are part of our most critical contributors to development?

We must also learn to respect the lives and dignity of our citizens. If a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery is arrested in such a demeaning manner in a hospital environment, what signals are we sending to other medical professionals working hard to keep our health sector afloat? It is reported that Nigeria has only 80 cardiothoracic surgeons serving its 230 million people, and the Prof Eyo Ekpe is the only one in Akwa Ibom State.

Let us learn to do better. Let us condemn and eschew the rascality and disorderliness that have continued to characterise some of our public offices and bring in civility in the discharge of our duties.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

[unique A'wears @AdageorgeA]

My first job in the UK 🇬🇧 was pot washing in a fancy hotel kitchen 😭🇬🇧

On one of my first shifts, I decided to impress everybody with my “hardworking Naija spirit” 😂

The pile of pots and plates they expected to last 5 hours of the shift,
Omo I finished everything in 3 hours 😇😆
I was SO proud of myself.
In my mind I was like:
“Now I can relax small… maybe drink water peacefully and observe life” 😌

So I leaned on the dishwasher machine for literally a few minutes watching the chefs cook.

Little did I know…
All the sous chefs were acting supervisors and monitoring spirits 😭

“Chi is finished pot washing.”

I didn't even see the senior chef 🧑‍🍳 coming. One minute I was watching a man sauté something, the next minute there was a presence beside me.😪

"Right then. Since you're done —"

What followed next, I cannot fully explain with words, but I will try.😪

I changed tissue rolls in every tissue lock on the wall. I replaced the liquid soaps hanging over all the sinks around the kitchen,
I swept a kitchen that was already clean. I emptied bins that were barely full. I dragged bin trolleys OUTSIDE and cleaned them— with my two hands.

I brought out every single cup and plate that I had just washed, dried them AGAIN, and aligned them in the boxes so very carefully 🤣

The man found me work for the remaining two hours.

Every. Single. Minute. Accounted for.⏱️

I stood there arranging cups 🫖I had already arranged, and that's when the education hit me

This is not Naija 🇳🇬. Nobody here cares that you finished early. If they are paying you for 6 hours, you will WORK for 6 hours.😩

There is no "I've finished, let me rest small."

There is no leaning on the machine with your arms folded. There is no watching the chefs cook like you're a food critic.😩

If you finish your task find another one. Clean something. Organise something. Count the spoons and fork if you have to.

JUST LOOK busy. Because the moment they catch you idle, they will not give you rest they will give you purpose.

And their version of purpose at 2pm on a Tuesday is scrubbing a bin trolley in the cold outside.

That day I learned one of the most important lessons of working in the UK:🇬🇧

Your hours belong to them. All of them. Even the quiet ones.
I never leaned on that machine again. 😅

To every immigrant reading this — especially if you just started working here . Or you intend to work here,
this is not about being lazy or not. It's just a different work culture. The sooner you understand it, the smoother your journey.

No rest at work until you clock out.
