Great question.
Yes, blood will come out if you poke almost anywhere.
But for a blood test, we don’t just need blood—we need a clean, continuous sample.
Veins are:
�� Closer to the skin
✅ Larger and easier to access
✅ Low-pressure vessels (safer)
✅ Less painful than hitting arteries
If we “chook” randomly, we may get:
❌ Very little blood
❌ Tissue fluid mixed with the sample
❌ Bruising and pain
❌ An inaccurate test result
Think of it this way:
A vein is like tapping directly into a water pipe.
Poking anywhere else is like digging randomly in wet soil and hoping to collect enough water.

Julián Quiñones was originally born in Columbia with Grand parents from Ghana and distant relatives from Nigeria.
Today he scored the first goal of the 2026 World Cup against South Africa..
This is football!!!
Czech Republic and South Korea, I believe you understand the assignment. Two more matches, with the entire Africa behind you, and South Africa will be on the first flight out of North America to protect their jobs back home. 😂
Dear Lord,
Instead of you to let South Africa win today, please take my President.
This is hard for me, especially as someone who loves his President so much - but it is a price I am willing to pay.
Instead of giving the Bathong Masafanizoka joy, please take my President.
As a doctor I’ve seen crazy stuff happen sha, this evening I had a pregnant lady, she’s Nigerian Ghanaian, heavy with triplets and laboring for the past 18 hours to no avail…
Immediately Mexico scored South Africa, all 3 babies came out & shouted “Goge Africaaaa” in unison😭
That your 16 year old daughter that you bought a phone for, will one day send her nude to a perverted man that gave her 5k.
If that doesn't happen, she'll be using the phone to watch porn and be masturbating.
And she'll be shaking her bumbum on tik tok and snap chat.
End.
My dear Obidient family, Kwankwasiyya brothers and sisters, and all well-meaning Nigerians,
Let us not be distracted by events around the NDC and the emergence of our candidate, Mr. Peter Obi, with Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso as running mate. The APC, ADC and other opposition forces are uncomfortable because they see our growing strength.
We may not like every driver of this NDC vehicle, but this is about rescuing Nigeria, not comfort. Peter Obi remains the best option to reset our country towards prosperity.
Let us calm our tensions, especially within the Obidient movement. Extend understanding, build a peaceful working relationship with the party, and focus our energy on delivering victory for this ticket.
#NigeriaWillBeOK
People who destroyed Peter Obi's businesses will allow Peter Obi to float a political party.
You guys watched while this man was punished for contesting an election and instead of questioning Tinubu, you are asking Peter Obi why he has not done more.
Is he a messiah?
Should he give up his life?
Mele Kyari as MD NNPC reportedly stole 210 trillion naira.
But we all forget who the minister of petroleum was at that time.
The minister of petroleum was, Mr. Integrity, the incorruptible, Saint, Muhammadu Buhari.
VDM stood right in front of the army and police blocking the Ministry of Defence and told them the truth they didn’t want to hear.
He said:
“After 35 years of service, there will be nothing to show for it. You have a gvn that you cannot use to protect your own family but you are using it to protect this terrible government. They travel by flight but you travel by road because you cannot afford it.”
He wasn’t talking to the enemy. He was speaking directly to the soldiers and officers themselves.
That’s what makes this different. He didn’t just confront the system... he reminded the men holding the gvns that they too are victims of the same system they are protecting.
The real problem is not the men in uniform. It’s the system that puts gvns in their hands and turns them against their own people.
To the men in uniform, there is still time to wake up. Because one day the uniform will be gone, the salary will stop, and you will return to your villages to face the same poverty, the same bandits, and the same insecurity you were used to shield others from.
That day, you will remember this moment and ask why you didn’t do the right thing while you had the chance.

While I was at Sterling Bank HQ yesterday, I observed something that impressed me.
This solar car park powers the whole building.
This investment saves them billions of naira annually.
The future is actually solar energy.
I was deeply honoured to host a high-powered solidarity visit from the Igbo Elders Consultative Forum at my residence in Abuja.
The delegation was led by Dr. S. N. Okeke, Chairman of the Ohanaeze Council of Elders for the 19 States and the FCT, alongside former Governor of Enugu State, Okwesilieze Nwodo. The elders expressed strong appreciation for the growing and cordial partnership between myself and His Excellency Mr. Peter Obi under the Nigeria Democratic Congress (NDC). They pledged their unwavering support for the Obi/Kwankwaso ticket and assured the movement of massive electoral backing across the South-East and the wider Southern region.
In my response, I thanked the delegation for their visit and for the opportunity to exchange views on the state of the nation. Reflecting on the historic North-South East political dynamics, I expressed delight at the excellent and productive relationship I continue to enjoy with HE Peter Obi. I also reaffirmed my total commitment to the OK Movement and the National Democratic Congress (NDC), emphasising our resolute determination to deliver victory for the party in the upcoming elections. - RMK
There is nobody in this 2027 election that is more qualified to run for President like Peter Obi
There’s a reason why he’s still the most competent in Nigeria today ..
Go and verify.
