[Ex-Grammaton Cleric @OtunbaBrickz]

Una see say these people dey mad!

Hire more sanitation workers, No!
buy more garbage trucks, No!
build more landfills and incinerators, No!

But the couldn’t hesitate to jump straight to enforcement!

The waste in my house has been piling up for months, PSP hasn’t come to pick it up and I’ve never missed a payment infact I’ve paid for a full year ahead. I live in Lekki o mind you, if they aren’t coming to pick up the thrash in Lekki for months it’s not far fetched to assume they haven’t picked up the dirt in Abule Egba in years, but sanitation police is the solution the army of halfwits in Alausa can think of!

Fucking idiots!

Normalize praying before embarking on journeys. Long or short. Leaving your house and returning safely is a blessing.

Yesterday, May 19th, in Abuja, I attended the Presidential screening organised by our party, which took over two and a half hours. They carefully reviewed all my documents, including my degree certificates, NYSC credentials, and age declarations.

During the process, I also addressed questions regarding my vision for a new Nigeria and the type of leadership our nation urgently needs right now. Following this, I was cleared and received the presidential nomination form I had previously paid for.

I would like to commend the screening committee, led by former governor Sam Egwu, for their thorough and professional approach. Additionally, I appreciate our party's leadership for upholding the democratic process.

State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation.

During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology:
Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved.
The list of the entourage included

1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States
2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State
3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence
4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX
5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia
6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple
7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock
8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone
9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing
10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill
11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup
12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric
13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs
14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology
15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm
16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta
17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa
18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard
19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent
20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina

That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity.

I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom.

A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home?

Which factories are coming to Nigeria?
What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured?
How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths?
What investments were attracted?
What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to?
The delegation reportedly included:
1. President Bola Tinubu
2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu
3.12 governors
4.9 ministers
5.7 members of the National Assembly
6. Over 20 senior State House staff
7. Over 30 security personnel
8. Over 10 domestic staff
9. Several supporters and associates

It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens.

Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty.
At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities.

Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

If you want to do IVF or you want to remove Fibroid but you don’t have money. Just go to the nearest Access bank in your area and reach the customer service. All you need is just letter from the Hospital and the invoice from the hospital.

Nigeria is unfair to teachers and health workers.

[Ayọ̀dèjì Aládéjánà @AladejanaDeji]

Governor Fayose’s approach was unethical, but it got the job done.

After the Ekiti State House of Assembly passed the Anti-Open Grazing Bill and he (then the Governor) signed it into law, the herders still refused to comply. So Governor Fayose did the unthinkable.

Governor Fayose will personally lead security agencies to patrol the state. If they catch you and your cattle violating the law, they will kill the cows and share the meat with the people around. After a few scapegoats saw that he meant business, they took their cows off the streets and off people’s farms.

Imagine if the South West Governors do this!

[DØÇTÖR CRUÏS£ @ThatCruiseMedic]

February this year Dr. Ogbomade Samson Romani a House officer at Delta state hospital management agency was beating up by patient relatives.

The young doctor suffered from a tympanic membrane rupture and other complications following the assault, since then he has been repeatedly falling ill and the hospital he worked never offered him any care until recently when he slumped and was rushed to the ICU.

His assaulters were never arrested and the association only went on strike following another assault that occured last week Saturday because management sees assault as a norm.

A WhatsApp Necrology telling us how he was a hardworking doctor shouldn't be the end of this painful demise, the healer should not be killed by those he devotes himself to healing, Dr Romani deserve justice, his assaulters should be made to face the wrath of the law.

If doctors say they are not doing anything till a patient pays, people will gaslight and say they are there for the money. If the price was too much for you, you could have gone to where they would have done it 2k. This person clearly told you before starting.

[LUCIA @Lucia_uiu]

I followed my friend to the hospital after she gave birth, just to help her get the baby’s ears pierced and her tongue released.

We entered the doctor’s office, told her what we came for, and she said, "It’s just 20k."

We laughed immediately.

Because how? For something everyone knows is either free on immunisation days or ₦500 on a normal day. So in our minds, she clearly meant 2k - just one of those normal talks/hypes.

She carried the baby and did everything without any issue.

When she finished, we confidently brought out ₦2,000 and handed it to her.
That was when she looked at us and said, "Your money is not complete."
We thought she was still joking.

Next thing, she said again, "I said 20k. This 2k you brought is just for the hand gloves"

That was when the laughter died.

We looked at ourselves like… what exactly is going on here?

We tried to explain that we thought she meant 2k, but she didn’t budge. She stood there, serious, insisting on ₦20,000 like it was the most normal thing.

My friend wanted to transfer the money to avoid any issues, but I stopped her immediately.

I told her, "if you dey ment, just try me, transfer that money".

At that point, the ABA version in me came alive. I faced the doctor and gave it back to her as it came.

As my voice rose in anger, she quickly said, "madame it hasn't gotten to that" .

I fired back, "Wakaa!!! , it hasn't gotten to what!!? You are charging me 20k for something that is done for 500 naira which everyone know. And how much is glove in this pharmacy?? A pair no be #200. Madame doctor Ịnọ ke do!!!!! (You're a thief)"

"Madame don't call me a thief, please don't insult"

"so if this act of yours is not theft, what do you call it!?

My friend tried to calm me down, but when she saw my eyes had changed, she quietly stepped aside.
By then, we were already drawing attention. The doctor’s tone dropped, and she went to lock the door before coming back.

Then she said, "okay so how much do you want to pay"

I replied, "Madame, you see this 2k na just dash I dash you that 1500 on top , if you won't collect it call your boss let me talk to him, let's settle it with him"

She paused, then said, "It fine. I will collect the 2k, just because I don't want trouble but next time..."

I cut her short immediately.

"which next time! Abeg gêtọut!!"

[The mundane superhuman @WinnerIdowu]

@docneto This is not true. It is not poor medical practice. You cannot categorically state that as fact please.

[OurFaveOnlineDoc 🇬🇧 🇳🇬 @OurFavOnlineDoc]

Let us clarify something here,
This is for the sake of public education.

1. Paying 119k consultation fee to see a gynaecologist is *not* ridiculous. This is a very fair charge to see a specialist in a private clinic setting.

2. It takes about 15years of medial school and postgraduate education to become a gynaecologist. You can’t see a specialist and pay peanuts. It costs time, money and a lot of work to become a gynaecologist.

3. Many of you gladly pay 500k for wig, you have no problems with 150k for bridal makeup that nobody notices, which will wash away in 3hours and you can even casually pay 50k to tie gele at wedding but you draw the line at paying less than 120k to see a gynaecologist for your healthcare. If you can spend premium money on ephemeral things like wig and makeup, pls kindly prioritise your health, dear Nigerians.

4. The only way you can see a specialist and pay cheap or pay nothing is if the service is subsidised or funded by the government or by NGOs. This is why government hospitals are cheaper, or sometimes free, compared to private hospitals. You may pay nothing as an end user but someone else is actually covering the true costs of that service.

5. This takes me to my final point:
Marie Stopes in Nigeria is a non-profit NGO that is heavily funded by donor grants and international organisations who subsidise the actual costs to make it cheap for you the end user.

It is a bad argument to compare Marie Stopes (funded by NGO money) to a private clinic gynaecologist that relies solely on being run by patient’s fees.

The actual cost in Marie Stopes will be far higher if not for the donations of good people and organisations who ensure the doctors are well paid and you won’t need to pay high for treatments or consultation.

I know life is tough in Nigeria and people find accessing good healthcare very expensive for the average person, however this is not the gynaecologists fault. This is the governments fault who have impoverished us, made us poor, failed to maintain the public hospitals and who have made people’s earnings so little that they can’t afford healthcare.

I hope this explanation is helpful.

Photographers can charge 200k for a session, for 4 pictures o and you cannot change your clothes. It is just one outfit.
When it comes to their health, 119,000 is too much. Haba!!!

[Eitan Fischberger @EFischberger]

Here's how Muslim-majority countries treat their Christian populations:

🇸🇴 SOMALIA
No churches exist. Converts from Islam face death. Al-Shabaab is committed to eradicating Christianity entirely.

🇾🇪 YEMEN
Christians can be imprisoned, tortured, or killed. Possessing a Bible in Houthi-controlled areas is dangerous. No legal protection for Christians exists.

🇸🇩 SUDAN
Over 100 churches have been damaged or destroyed. Christians have been abducted and killed. Islamist extremists operate with impunity.

🇸🇾 SYRIA
Now largely controlled by HTS — an Islamic extremist group with roots in Al-Qaeda. Christian population has collapsed from 1.5 million to 300,000.

🇳🇬 NIGERIA
More Christians are killed for their faith in Nigeria than anywhere else in the world. Boko Haram, ISWAP, and Fulani militias operate freely. The government has largely failed to prosecute perpetrators.

🇵🇰 PAKISTAN
🔸 Christians are 1.8% of the population but absorb ~25% of blasphemy accusations — which carry a death sentence.

🔸 Mob lynchings of accused Christians are common. Entire Christian neighborhoods have been torched.

🔸 Christian girls are kidnapped, forcibly converted, and married off. Courts often back the perpetrators.

🇱🇾 LIBYA
No functioning government to protect Christians. Foreign Christians are kidnapped and killed by Islamist groups. No legal protections exist.

🇮🇷 IRAN
🔸 96 Christians sentenced to 263 years in prison in 2024 alone — a sixfold increase year-over-year.

🔸 House churches are raided. Converts are charged with espionage and "enmity against God."

🔸 Apostasy is punishable by death. Government's stated goal: eradicate the Persian-speaking Church.

🇦🇫 AFGHANISTAN
Christians face death if discovered. No public Christian communities exist. The Taliban is actively working to erase any Christian presence.

🇸🇦 SAUDI ARABIA
🔸 No churches allowed. No public Christian worship of any kind.

🔸 Apostasy and proselytizing are capital offenses under Sharia law.

🔸 Bibles are confiscated. Even private worship by expatriates can result in arrest and deportation.

🇲🇱 MALI / 🇧🇫 BURKINA FASO
Pastors executed, churches burned, villages massacred. Governments have lost control of large swaths of territory to jihadist groups including Boko Haram and JNIM.

🇮🇶 IRAQ
The Christian population has collapsed from 1.2 million in 2011 to just 120,000 in 2024 — driven by ISIS genocide. Christians are described as "close to extinction."

🇩🇿 ALGERIA
All 47 Protestant evangelical churches in the country have been shut down. Converting Muslims is a criminal offense.

🇲🇷 MAURITANIA
Apostasy is punishable by death. No churches exist for Mauritanian citizens.

🇲🇦 MOROCCO
No public Christian worship permitted. Converting from Islam can result in prosecution. Foreign missionaries are expelled.

🇶🇦 QATAR
🔸 Apostasy: death penalty under Sharia law.

🔸 Proselytizing a Muslim: up to 5 years in prison.

🔸 Bringing Christian materials into the country: up to 2 years in prison.

🇹🇷 TURKEY
🔸 200+ Christian workers expelled since 2020, labeled "national security threats."

🔸 No legal training of clergy permitted. The historic Halki Seminary remains closed.

🔸 Christian population has collapsed from 20% to 0.2% over the past century.

@UtiEjiroghene @Dr_Afo 119,000 naira is not US rate Sir

[The mundane superhuman @WinnerIdowu]

I don’t understand why people are saying sorry. You’re paying per consultation because the hospital has to call the specialist to come to the hospital again, interpret the result and counsel or treat you based on the result.

[Tobi Odukoya @TobiOdukoyaFilm]

I went to this hospital at Adeniyi Jones, Ikeja Lagos

I wanted to see the gynecologist.
I paid for registration, 23,766
Paid for consultation, 119,000
Paid for tests close to 350k (it was about three hundred and forty something)

Minus my T.fare o

Now after close to a month, my results are ready. Oya o, tell me what the tests says. NO, I HAVE TO PAY 64,000 FIRST before the gynecologist can interpret what my tests says.

I almost lost it with them! They said it's the policy.
And frankly i don't have 64k to pay for tests interpretation. I told them to send the results to my mail.

I'm so heartbroken and disappointed.

MEDICAL NEGLIGENCE

A doctor’s experience.

The word “negligence” is used a lot, especially when something goes wrong.

But let me speak to the part most people hardly ever talk about.

Consider this scenario.

Friday:
I admitted a child.
Evaluated him.
Started resuscitation immediately.

I explained everything to the father, the diagnosis, the urgency, and the need for surgery.

The mother wasn’t available.
But the father understood the situation.

Saturday morning:
He wasn’t there.
I called multiple times. No response.
I stayed in the ward for over three hours waiting.

Then, I had to leave to cater to other patients, so I escalated it.

By 8 pm., I met him on his way out.
He said he had been around since 3:30pm.

Sunday:
Same pattern.
This time, he picked up.

I told him clearly:
Saturday morning was the best time for operation.

After resuscitation.
Before deterioration.

I needed consent.
I needed investigations.
I needed blood.
He wasn’t there.

By the time he returned Sunday evening, there were multiple obstetric emergencies.

Monday morning:
He arrived early and became upset when the surgery couldn’t happen immediately.

Eventually, things were rearranged.

By the grace of God, the child did well.

But the question that bothered me is this:

What if he didn’t?

You already know what would happen.

“Doctor was negligent.”
“Hospital killed a child.”

For every story you see online,
there is another side.

We don’t always tell it.
But we always carry it.
