Casually mentioned angioplasty, angiography and interventional radiologist but goes on to berate doctors who work in a system where there are no gloves.
Jokes on you, my man.
What has happened to our compassion as a People ?
We pleaded that the President should show Leadership and visit Benue and Niger States in the spirit of deep national mourning, to offer compassion and solidarity to families torn apart by the senseless massacre of over 200 innocent Nigerians in Benue State and flooding that killed similar number in Niger State.
But what we saw in Benue visit was instead of a solemn, reflective visit, a display that would have been more befitting for the commissioning of reconstructed Enugu-Makurdi highway, a critical road connecting South and Northern Nigeria which had become impassable for years.
The President arrived not in mourning cloth but in celebratory agbada attire, like it was an occasion for joy.
Even more heartbreaking is the role of the State. Rather than been in mourning mood and weeping declared a public holiday, not for reflection or prayer, but to organize fanfare. Schools were shut down. Children who should be mourning their slaughtered classmates, and parents were instead lined up under the rain, rehearsed to sing and dance for the President. In what kind of country does this happen?
We have tragically arrived at a point where condolence visits have become carnivals. A time that should be marked by silence and solemnity is now polluted by banners, music, and rehearsed spectacles. Precious Nigerian lives have been lost, yet we’re clapping, singing, and organizing processions, as though this were a campaign rally.
This is not how any compassionate nation behaves. The energy, resources, and logistics poured into this charade could have gone into food supplies, temporary shelters, medical aid, school support, and trauma counselling for grieving families. Instead, we chose optics over empathy.
Look elsewhere: When President Ramaphosa visited Mthatha after the floods in South Africa, there were no drums. No staged crowds. No rented cheers. Just presence, silence, and action. When Prime Minister Modi went to the site of a crash, no one lined up to welcome him. He came, he mourned, he acted. That is what leadership looks like in moments of pain.
We must ask ourselves: What kind of people have we become?
Enough of this culture of impunity. We are not at war yet our nation is bleeding, and we are clapping. It is not only insensitive, it is dangerous.
Let us not forget: These were human beings, children, mothers, fathers whose blood cries out for justice.
When very sad incidents like this turns to campaign or festival, our Nation Losing Its Soul.
A new Nigeria is POssible! -PO

Let me explain to you what these barbaric savages did in Benue state. For those who haven’t seen the video (maybe because it was too traumatic for you).
Let me break it down for you:
According to eyewitnesses;
Around 10:45pm on Friday night,
A group of terrorist animalistic vermins invaded Yelewata village. They divided themselves into two groups:
One group went to the police station and engaged the police in a fire exchange. The aim of this group is to keep the police engaged so the police won’t go into the village to protect the people.
The other group now marched into the village and started going from house to house with petrol and weapons. They sliced and matcheted people then doused them with petrol and burnt them to ashes. They this to almost a 100 houses and killed over 200 people in this manner. This was done for 3hours from 11pm to 2am. The only reason the massacre was not far worse and did not go on for longer was the brave youths in the village who repelled and resisted these barbaric inhuman animals.
Children. Women. Men. Grandmothers.
Attacked in their sleep. Sliced like animals. Burnt to unrecognisable ashes. It was a brutal carnage and a violent bloodbath.
This is what happened to the Benue people. And for 48 hours, the unfortunate incompetent nincompoop president of Nigeria said absolutely nothing until there was collective national outrage online led largely by many of us here.
The Pope spoke before that fool in Aso Rock said anything. A lawmaker in the USA tweeted about the matter before Tinubu said anything. VDM flew to Benue and till now, Tinubu has not yet visited.
What kind of country with a heartless brainless soulless president is this? And when he finally speaks on the matter, he tells the governor to organise “dialogue and reconciliation”????
Dialogue and reconciliation with who?
How do you reconcile with faceless terrorist landgrabbers and godless verminous savages who invade your land at night slicin your throat in your sleep and burning you to crumbling ashes? How do you reconcile with that?
If you have no idea what happened in Benue state, this is actually the story of it as narrated by eye witnesses in the video.
I have no words but tears for Benue.
Please 🙏🏿 I beg you all let us lend our voice for Benue. Let us all speak up for them.
The media is corrupt and compromised.
The politicians are nonchalant and simply don’t care. The religious elite are not bothered as long as it doesn’t affect their tithes. That useless shameless organisation called CAN (of worms) has said absolutely nothing since yesterday. My point in all of this is that Benue has nobody to speak for them or fight for them apart from us.
If we don’t speak, that state will be wiped out. I beg you all again please 🙏🏿 let us lend our voice for Benue. Let us all speak up for them.
Today it is Benue. Tomorrow it may be you.
Please share this tweet everywhere. Use the hashtag. Create awareness. Please 🙏🏿

I think we should stop giving explanations. Let the people who are supposed to join hands together and demand for a better working conditions, fight us and call us greedy and incompetent every market day. Hand go touch everybody. We dey the country together now.
Low quality sewage rats using AI to do “Grok remove her gown” smh.
“Na cruise” “hahaha” no, y’all useless dogs, too useless, see the kyn thing wey de amuse una, tomorrow una go de find respect for women hand. Guttersnipes.
I'm a doctor. I'm also schizophrenic, which is something my colleagues & patients don't know. My schizophrenia makes me a better doctor. Whenever I have a complicated case or a medical mystery, the voices I hear in my head help me to get to the bottom of it & treat the patient.
@Deborahmoses_s@elcarimdaniel Romans 8:17 doesn’t say we have the same authority as Jesus. Nowhere in the Bible says that. We are given authority over certain things but never the authority Jesus has. Neither does conformed to his image mean that.
