During housejob, we had a patient, she was in her early 20s. She had colon cancer. Prior to hers, I had never seen a young person with colon CA.
I remember her joking with the surgeon as they applied granulated sugar on her swollen colostomy stoma.

She would sometimes ask why she was the exception to the rule; on other days she is in perfectly high spirits.

I was teary on one of those days when her aged mother said "she has been through worse, we believe better days are ahead." I really hoped that she would witness the better days.

One day, I recieved a call from her father; i thought he was calling me to tell me they were around for chemotherapy, but instead, he told me that she had passed on.

I didn't know how to feel.
I just remembered her again today and it reminded me that cancer is indeed a bitch!

It’s important for your husband to fear you just a little bit. No partner of yours should be able to comfortably speak in this manner in public and still be bold enough to come home.

I'll also say this as someone who grew up on the nice side of the barbed wire fences and high gates in the very nice part of town where the Nigerian 0.1% live - learn to touch grass and worry about yourself because rich people really do not care about you. Like, at all.

The Nigerian rich don't even like each other. They barely tolerate one another and make practical alliances to preserve wealth and influence. And now that the economy is too small to support all the children of the Nigerian 0.1%, nearly everyone I grew up with in the nice, leafy part of town now lives in Toronto or London or wherever. You, Mr N250k/month Union Bank contract staff are not part of rich people's thinking at all.

At. All.

The rich have no plans for you. They have no plans to create opportunities for you. They have no plans to fix the things they broke on their way to building that N1bn townhouse in Parkview Estate. They have no plans to contribute towards making society better. If Satan came from Hell with a tail and horns growing out of his head and he ran for political office, the rich would all go make deals with him - because in the world of the rich, the only thing that matters is their own interests, and making sure that they never, EVER have to live like you or next to you.

So all this simping and vicarious fawning over wealth and fame that you people do everyday is the most redundant thing in the world - the rich have no intention of expanding their circle to let you in, and they have no intention of enabling the conditions for you to create your own independent circle of wealth. The only thing the rich need from you is to be poor and obedient, so that your labour can be cheap, plentiful and replaceable.

Statistically as a Nigerian, you will NEVER be rich or close to it. You will NEVER live in Maitama. 99.99% of Nigerians who have existed since 1960 have prayed and fantasised about becoming rich, and 99.99% of those prayers and fantasies never came true. That's just math. You will never be a rich and famous celebrity. You will never be a successful content creator. You will never make millions shilling crypto, trading Forex, sports betting, or whatever the fuck is the latest quick wealth fantasy in town. It's just not going to happen.

That being the case, a much more constructive use of your time would be to fight for the material elevation of what you actually have, where you actually have it. Instead of daydreaming about the N300m house in Lekki that 3 generations of your family cannot buy, get involved in a local effort to give your own immediate neighbourhood a facelift, or a political campaign to pressure the state to build high quality social housing.

If you hate being harassed without consequence online, instead of vicariously enjoying how a celebrity has used their wealth and influence to jail someone for making a horrid tweet, fight for a judiciary and legal system that is transparent and accessible to all, so that a singer living in the UK on a global talent visa doesn't get to have more access to your Nigerian justice system than you who lives in Nigeria 24/7.

Instead of building your mental architecture around the false idea of being a "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" who will someday take your rightful place on Banana Island, touch grass tonight and accept that it will never happen, and what you need to do instead is fight for where you are to become a better, more liveable place that you no longer wish to escape from. Stop cosplaying as rich folk. Stop cooing and fawning over rich folk. Stop daydreaming about someday "blowing up" and buying a house next to Burna Boy. Rich people have no intention of sharing their world with you. Free yourself from the tyranny of living vicariously through people who don't care that you exist.

Them no really send any part of your papa at all.

Teargas in a Hospital, a Thoughtless Act.

I have just read the recent troubling reports of how the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in a bid to arrest Professor Eyo Ekpe, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and deputy chairman of the hospital’s medical advisory committee.

While I understand and respect the fact that the EFCC, and indeed, all other government agencies have their constitutional rights to do their jobs without interference, the manner in which some of these jobs are carried out is often deeply troubling.

Reportedly, the EFCC operatives who stormed the hospital shot some teargas canisters within the hospital premises which sent medical staff and patients running for safety. This thoughtless act greatly compromised the general safety in the hospital environment and further jeopardised the health of the medical personnel and the sick people in the hospital.

I have always said that the most fundamental intangible asset upon which any nation functions effectively is the rule of law and order. The disorderliness allegedly demonstrated by the EFCC operatives at the hospital must not be encouraged. Nothing justifies the use of teargas canisters in a fragile hospital environment. Do we not realise that our hospitals are part of our most critical contributors to development?

We must also learn to respect the lives and dignity of our citizens. If a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery is arrested in such a demeaning manner in a hospital environment, what signals are we sending to other medical professionals working hard to keep our health sector afloat? It is reported that Nigeria has only 80 cardiothoracic surgeons serving its 230 million people, and the Prof Eyo Ekpe is the only one in Akwa Ibom State.

Let us learn to do better. Let us condemn and eschew the rascality and disorderliness that have continued to characterise some of our public offices and bring in civility in the discharge of our duties.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

So Ugo, you came online and told everyone that your wife cheated on you during the marriage. Not only that, you said it happened in your matrimonial home, which was why you divorced her. And almost everyone believed you.

Now your ex-wife has reportedly filed a suit against you for “FALSE AND DEFAMATION PUBLICATIONS”, which simply means she’s accusing you of lying against her, damaging her reputation and character. And also demanding immediate retraction of all your claims.

But instead of standing your ground and presenting evidence to support your claims, you deleted every post where you accused her of cheating and other allegations. If everything you said was truly, why did you delete?

So Ugo, my question is: did your wife actually cheat on you?

Did you truly catch her cheating, or were those accusations made out of anger, spite and bitterness because she moved on peacefully after the divorce?

I mean, you clearly said the divorce had already been finalized, she had been deported to Lagos, and everyone had moved on.

Yet you came online and started fresh drama all over again. Anyone listening would think you just found out about the cheating last week and that the divorce happened only five days ago.

Because let’s be honest, some people, especially after a breakup or divorce, struggle to see their ex move on peacefully, and they feel the need to damage their image or make life difficult for them, especially when that ex proves they can do just fine without them.

Again, DID YOUR EX WIFE CHEAT ON YOU DURING THE MARRIAGE?
