@Codie_Sanchez People say "I made it with no help" like help was chasing them and they ran away from it😂
If the door can be opened for me by someone already inside a room, why go in through the window???

@__iffff You totally got me to go on a YouTube hunt for the show! I am fascinated by how good it looks for a Nigerian sitcom back in the day. Plus, the whole vibe took me on a trip down memory lane! Strong Nostalgia. 😀😅

@ajisafeolumuyi2 Also the part about doing the job of others "adequately" requires "adequate" training in that field

[Paul Bynta @PBynta]

@ajisafeolumuyi2 Another honest truth: If the Architect wants to do the job of a Structural Engineer, he/she must think like a Structural Engineer and not think along the lines of satisfying Architectural requirements only 😀

A most heartwarming story that I heard yesterday, at the FHN conference. A Nigerian neonatologist moved back to Nigeria from the UK 4 months ago to set up a Neonatal intensive care facility in Lagos.

Her first patient: a premature baby who weighed 620 grams. Yes. Grams. Less than 1kg. Born to a woman who’d been trying for a baby for very many years. Four months later, baby now weighs 2.27kg, and is doing well.

She shared this story on a panel with 4 other Nigerian doctors who’ve moved back home over the last decade. Every single of them spoke about how fulfilling it has been, even while acknowledging the challenges of life and business in Nigeria. Nobody downplayed the very real issues - electricity was high on their lists, for example.

But they all spoke with first-hand experience of how, even amidst the challenges, there are opportunities, and vistas of hope. Listening to that discussion is one of the best things I’ve experienced this year. I personally think all of those doctors deserve National Honours.

For me it’s a constant reminder that we just have to get things right as a country. We don’t have a choice!

A day before, I sat on a panel at BRF’s book launch, and shared my vision of a Nigeria as a medical tourism destination (we already have a medical tourism visa, by the way!). And I told HE @drobafemihamzat (repping @jidesanwoolu) to please work to fasttrack the planned Lagos Medical City, as part of the things governments are doing to support private enterprise in healthcare.

There’s of course A LOT that governments can and should be doing, that’s a topic for another post.

We must share the stories of everything that’s going on. We cannot focus ONLY on what’s not working. We must give equal (if not more!) energy to what’s working, as well. What’s changing for the better. The people making heroic moves and investments. There’s a lot more to the story of healthcare in Nigeria, than failure and Japa.

God bless the FRN
