If you all noticed yesterday, i was not really online. I blacked out during a surgery yesterday. I was lucky that the assistant surgeon was a very capable hand to continue and complete the surgery. I recovered early hours of this morning.
I hadn't had sleep for 6 weeks. In Nigeria, one Doctor does the work of 50 Doctors and this is not an exaggeration. The government knows about this but simply DOESN'T CARE. Life means nothing to them. Only money and power retention is important.
Our colleagues are also a very big part of the problem. Shame on our Medical elders generally. Shame on the government.
Today, I experienced one of the most traumatic moments of my life.
I had gone to a friend’s place to lend him my MacBook charger because I stay in Ikorodu his charger had stopped working. After leaving his place and heading home, I was stopped by men who identified themselves as Nigerian police officers. They were not dressed in standard police uniforms, which made the situation even more frightening.
I was forcefully pushed into my car, accused of being a cultist without any evidence, and subjected to intimidation. My phone was searched, I was threatened, and I was repeatedly told that if I did not cooperate, I would be shot, killed, or have my car taken away.
They drove me around to different locations, including from Ikorodu to ketu under a bridge, while continuing to threaten me. Under fear for my life, I was forced to open my banking apps and make transfers. In total, about ₦700,000 was taken from my account through coercion. They wanted me to pay them 5 million which I don’t even have, They also forced me to call friends and demand money from them, insisting that I raise millions of naira despite having committed no crime.
This was not a voluntary transaction. Every action I took was because I genuinely feared for my life.
I am sharing this video because no Nigerian should have to experience this. No one should be threatened with weapons, intimidated, or forced to hand over their hard earned money by people who are supposed to protect them.
I am reporting this incident to the appropriate authorities and financial institutions, and I hope those responsible are identified and held accountable.
Please help me by sharing this until it reaches the right people. This has to stop.

Dear @SenRemiTinubu, I have started roasted agbado business as instructed by you. I used my certificates to lit up the fire.
Do well to ensure bandits do not attack me on my way to farm, do well to ensure price of transportation doesn’t run me out of business. Lastly, while you and governor’s wives cruise in the exotic cars you shared, please stop by and buy my corn.
Permit me to annoy you.
Are you aware that 99% of young people living in Nigeria are working much harder than they did eight years ago just to buy food and pay their landlords? Even you reading this is among the victims!
Maturity taught me that not every woman is a Proverbs 31 woman. And that’s okay!
Some are Deborahs: Called to lead, to speak boldly, and to stand on the front lines.
Some are Ruths: Faithful in quiet places, steady when no one is watching.
Some are Esthers: Positioned for influence, courage rising at the exact moment it’s needed.
Some are Marys: Chosen for surrender, carrying purpose before understanding.
Some are Hannahs: Shaped by prayer, strengthened through waiting and tears.
Bandits went live and asked Nigerians to send azas for give aways.
They used banking apps to send money to those who sent accounts. No arrests made.
A responsible citizen made a video of the cracks on Coastal road and within days he was arrested.
If you ever come here to tell me only God can solve our insecurity problems Ogun will kpai you.
The more I try to be quiet about this, the more I realize people need to know what we are not talking about.
A church revival was attacked.
A pastor was killed.
Families were torn apart in minutes.
Among those taken were three siblings. Their mother, who had initially escaped by running away went back because her children were among those being taken.
A church member rushed to help the pastor after the attack.
He had an accident on the way too and by the time he regained consciousness, he was told his wife and 3 children had been abducted.
The man lost his leg!
Now, more than 40 days later, families are still waiting for answers.
Na until all of us die???? Don’t be distracted oh. 42kids are in captivity in Borno. 35 in ogbomosho. Terrorists are doing giveaway on TikTok and Tinubu is lying that they will be found. We are on our own oh. Fight back.
Nobody tells you how hard it is to rewire your brain so you can allow amazing things to happen to you after so much trauma or hurt. Blessings exist, good people exist, a softer life exists. Let it happen.
