Depressing visit to helpless citizens of a country of plenty.
Yesterday, after the funeral mass of Most Rev Obiora Akubeze in Benin City, I travelled to Enugu to meet nearly 1,000 kidney patients. It was one of the most disheartening visits I have had.
I encountered people facing the most difficult moments of their lives, helplessly, in a country of abundance, among them children.
Nigeria has over 25 million people with kidney disease. We have fewer than 200 kidney centres and barely 500 functioning dialysis machines, when we ideally need about 5,000 functioning dialysis machines. This is completely unacceptable.
I must commend the organiser of the charity project, Emmanuel Onyeka Okoh (Okwuluora), for his selfless humanitarian service to Nigerians who cannot help themselves. I assured him of my ongoing support, starting today with my initial donation to his work with the kidney patients.
The Federal Government, and Government at all levels must take the lead in actively investing in health to guarantee a healthier population for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Now watch his brain-dead supporters that defended the actions yesterday turn around to praise him for “listening” & for being “a symbol of democracy”
@FeedbackOYSG@Agidigbo887FM@SplashFM1055@whoisvow@xgteta@leyemypadi@RajiToyeebO 6. Not just that o, kids who cant read will proceed to JS1 where no one will have time to teach you how to read.
2 years ago, I had to spend over 1.5million re-educating kids in my community. They all got expo and scored over 60%. Including a girl that couldnt spell SCHOOL
@FeedbackOYSG@Agidigbo887FM@SplashFM1055 5. We will now be complaining about low pass rates during WAEC, NECO and especially JAMB.
How do you expect a kid who has been exposed to EXPO/CHEATING at such a young age to not depend on it throughout his 6 years in Secondary school. @whoisvow@xgteta@leyemypadi@RajiToyeebO
@FeedbackOYSG@Agidigbo887FM@SplashFM1055 4. Aside that, I saw errors in the questions (as I reported in BECE and joint exam questions too). Incompetent people full that OYO ministry of Education. How will you print questions without cross checking.
Kids said invigilators didnt attend to their complaints/confusion e.g
@FeedbackOYSG 3. Orogun is the school I have reported most(2024 and 2025) for selling expo. A big TESCOM office is there which means any escalation/complaints gets there.
Explains why St Mathias refunded kids yesterday. Money meant for the invigilators.
@Agidigbo887FM@SplashFM1055
@FeedbackOYSG 2. Students that wrote theirs in OROGUN GRAMMAR SCHOOL complained bitterly about aggressive invigilators who physically abused them.
Kids who left home for common entrance were flogged for making small errors like not bringing out passport or walking slow.
I have a theory.

RT to escalate.
1. Just met kids who wrote COMMON ENTRANCE today (3 centres).
EMMANUEL GRAMMAR Orita UI gave out expo.
St THOMAS PRIMARY SCH I, II, and III gathered all pry6 kids. They had the questions since 7a.m so they gave them the answers.
