From A NIGERIAN DOCTOR IN THE UK.
So,we had the first malaria case yesterday in my hospital in 30 years.Baba just returned from 9ja and had all the symptoms of malaria. They had to transport IV Artesunate from Liverpool with Liverpool with ambulance to us midnight. Apparently,no consultant knows how to treat malaria. They went to examine the patient all dressed like astronauts, like they were going to the moon even though they ruled out VHF from the blood tests. The three 9ja doctors on shift including myself became demigods yesterday. Na so we just dey move stuffs about malaria. Stuff wey no even correct. Them still dey clap for us😂. They kept saying the patient may have cardiac arrest. We told them to chill say malaria na our guy and we go run am. No nurse could constitute and administer IV Artesunate as they have never seen IV Artesunate antimalarial before. I gave Baba one shut stat. This morning, Baba say he wan go house and my consultant said it's the most miraculous recovery he has ever seen in his medical practice.
Malaria fa. Our own guy. We know malaria and malaria know https://t.co/OCNZEMqIRC our guy 😂.

The state borrowed US$200 million plus interest to build 5,000 affordable housing units.
The contractor was paid about US$180 million but delivered only around 1,500 houses, all of which are uninhabitable.
The previous administration was prosecuting some former government officials, alleging they had caused financial loss to the state. After coming into office, the new government dropped those charges within two months, describing them as ill-conceived.
Meanwhile, the contractor has taken the state to international arbitration over the termination of the contract and other claims. Ironically, the state now has to defend issues that were at the heart of the case it decided to discontinue. If it loses the arbitration, taxpayers could face even greater financial liabilities.
So here’s where we are:
- We borrowed money for 5,000 affordable houses that were never delivered.
- Most of the money was paid out.
- No one is currently being held accountable after the criminal charges were dropped.
- The state could end up paying even more if it loses the arbitration.
No affordable housing. Just abandoned buildings and the prospect of an even bigger bill for taxpayers.
A day is coming when a civilian will attack a politician physically in the presence of the politician’s bloggers and if that goes viral it will be a turning point in the democracy we are practicing in Ghana.
