It's only when You run a business You realize how poor Nigeria is, A good number of us on here live in a bubble of privilege and fail to acc see where the problem lies.
Businesses aren't running to zero because we don't have the numbers, the majority are poor.
65 FREE SURGERIES FOR 65 CHILDREN
Yesterday, I attended the final follow-up clinic and appreciation programme at Mother Mary Hospital, Isolo, Lagos, following the successful completion of 65 free surgeries for children to mark my 65th birthday.
I am deeply grateful to God Almighty for guiding the medical team throughout the process and for granting all 65 children safe and successful surgeries.
The surgeries, led by Dr Folaseye Adebayo and her dedicated team, included adenotonsillectomy. This procedure removes enlarged or chronically infected tonsils and adenoids, which can cause breathing difficulties, recurrent infections, and sleep-related problems in children.
What made the occasion particularly touching was listening to parents share their testimonies and hearing how these procedures have improved their children’s health and quality of life.
My profound appreciation goes to @DrFolaseye Adebayo and her entire team, the hospital management, the parents, and everyone who contributed to making this initiative possible.
For me, birthdays are not merely occasions for celebration. They are opportunities to give back, touch lives, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of others.
I thank God for the privilege of being part of this initiative and, most importantly, for the gift of 65 healthy and hopeful children.
May God continue to bless all those who dedicate their lives to saving and improving the lives of others.
A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
I have so many questions. But the first is how did he end up on his lap? Like how did this interview start? Why is everyone in the room acting like this is normal?
Did the interview start and he asked to be sat on? wtf?
Former Aston Villa CEO, Christian Purslow on #ManCity: "They do great net business. They spend what it takes to buy players they want, but they're fantastic at selling players for at least £50M - no other club does that! Most clubs, when the market knows you don't want a player, he's immediately worth a fraction of players you want to buy.
"City are skilful at selling for top dollar and that's the difference between them and some of their rivals...
"They're also good on payment terms, City are well known [for] players who are squad players that make up the 25, they go in on reasonable basic pay, but real bonuses to get them in the first-team. If they don't work, it's easier to sell players with reasonable salary - I think that's part of their secret..." [via @SkySportsNews]
Just stand somewhere in Ikeja along 5pm and see thousands of young and old people who can't afford Danfo trekking all the way to Agege, some Abule-Egba and you open you filthy mouth to say Uber couldn't compete.
You are a bastard and a waste of effort from your parents.
