I remember during my posting, one of the cases I saw.
He tried to be the peacemaker, stepping in to separate a fight. In the chaos, he got injured on his shoulder. No broken bones but his nerve was affected. Now, he can’t flex his fingers. Even picking a pebble is difficult.
When going to separate a fight, be careful not to receive a fist on your face.
If possible, avoid going to separate fight.
If anything happens to your eyes as a result of trauma, it may be an irreversible damage.

Depressing visit to helpless citizens of a country of plenty.
Yesterday, after the funeral mass of Most Rev Obiora Akubeze in Benin City, I travelled to Enugu to meet nearly 1,000 kidney patients. It was one of the most disheartening visits I have had.
I encountered people facing the most difficult moments of their lives, helplessly, in a country of abundance, among them children.
Nigeria has over 25 million people with kidney disease. We have fewer than 200 kidney centres and barely 500 functioning dialysis machines, when we ideally need about 5,000 functioning dialysis machines. This is completely unacceptable.
I must commend the organiser of the charity project, Emmanuel Onyeka Okoh (Okwuluora), for his selfless humanitarian service to Nigerians who cannot help themselves. I assured him of my ongoing support, starting today with my initial donation to his work with the kidney patients.
The Federal Government, and Government at all levels must take the lead in actively investing in health to guarantee a healthier population for all.
A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO
Yesterday, I was in Bauchi to honour, for the fifth time, the invitation of the Goodluck Jonathan Foundation to its dialogue themed: “Beyond Elections: Can Political Parties and the Judiciary Save African Democracy?”
I thank President Goodluck Jonathan for his selfless sacrifice and unwavering commitment to building a better Nigeria and a better Africa. I also commend the Chairman, President Olusegun Obasanjo, for his enduring contributions to peace, unity and justice across Africa. My appreciation also goes to the host, the Governor of Bauchi State, for his good work and for providing the platform for this important conversation.
My modest contribution at the event was to highlight my concern that African democracy, using Nigeria as a case study, has deteriorated to such an extent that we are approaching a point where we may no longer be able to meaningfully say that democracy exists.
I recalled how I approached the courts when I believed my mandate had been stolen in Anambra. At that time, the judiciary demonstrated the independence expected of an arm of government. It upheld the law and restored the will of the people, without any relationship whatsoever between me and the judges who handled the matter. That was democracy at work.
Today, however, those who break the law are often the first to tell you to “go to court.”
Our electoral management body, staffed by highly educated Nigerians, including many professors, is increasingly accused of enabling electoral malpractice and the emergence of people who are not qualified or do not possess the mandate of the people. Our lawmakers have removed forgery as an electoral offence, while some senior advocates appear to defend or normalise actions that should ordinarily attract condemnation. Our religious leaders sometimes pray for blessings upon political actors accused of misappropriating the commonwealth. And, most troubling of all, we now hear allegations of judges chanting, “On your mandate we shall stand.”
When the very institutions established to protect democracy begin to accommodate its destruction, we must stop pretending that everything is normal.
I earnestly call for sober reflection and honest thinking. Socrates said that “the unexamined life is not worth living.” A nation, too, must examine itself if it intends to survive.
We must halt this drift towards institutional decay and redirect our attention towards building a country that we and the generations that come after us, can be proud of.

Together Towards the New Nigeria That Is Possible
On this June 12, Democracy Day, I had useful meetings with my partners in the building of the New Nigeria that is Possible: our great party’s National Leader, H.E. Senator Seriake Dickson, and our party’s Vice Presidential candidate, H.E. Senator Rabiu Kwankwaso. The NDC, as a party that is barely four months old, despite the challenges, remains the party of the future, and the fruitful discussions at the meetings clearly underscore this fact.
The leaders and members of a committed political family must be willing to make sacrifices and show tolerance and accommodation, even in difficult circumstances. This shared understanding is essential for building trust, strengthening unity, and sustaining the vision we collectively hold for national transformation.
We are all committed to this goal. The NDC remains the vehicle that will convey Nigeria through purposeful, compassionate leadership, with firm commitment to productivity and democratic ideals towards the New Nigeria that is POssible. -PO
Does crying too much affect your eyes?
Yesterday, I had a patient who complained of seeing tiny objects like strands of hair in his vision especially in the left eye.
When I asked him some questions to understand when and how it started, he mentioned that he lost his wife last year and cried so much so he is thinking it was too much crying that affected his eyes.
Well, that wasn't my first time hearing patients talk about how they cried too much because they lost a loved one and how they feel it's begining to affect their eyes.
So, does crying too much really affect your eyes?
From a clinical standpoint, it's important to understand that there are three types of tears:
Basal tears: this type of tears is constantly present and maintains corneal lubrication.
Reflex tears: this type is triggered by irritants like smoke, onions etc.
Emotional or psychic tears: this is produced during crying.
In the words of :Maya Angelou
‘People will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel Be careful with the way you treat people. A single moment of kindness, respect, or cruelty can stay in someone’s heart longer than you may ever https://t.co/E7wYF92bNq mutuals 💓
This week, let your effort speak louder than your excuses.
Keep showing up.
Keep learning.
Keep putting in the work, even when results feel slow.
Because small, consistent effort always leads somewhere meaningful.
Happy new week
Congratulations to Victor Osimhen
I want to join other fans in congratulating one of Nigeria’s many talented exports, Victor Osimhen, for successfully leading Galatasaray S.K. to the Turkish Süper Lig title with a brilliant performance, scoring twice in the decisive victory that sealed the championship.
Your resilience, discipline, and talent continue to inspire millions of young Nigerians to believe in the power of hard work, dedication, and excellence. You have remained a proud ambassador of Nigeria on the global stage, bringing honour to our nation through your achievements and conduct. Nigerians are immensely proud of you and your continued success.
I have often spoken about the transformative power of sports and the immense opportunities it offers to young people. This is why the persistent neglect of the sector in our country is deeply regrettable. The truth is that Nigeria is blessed with countless talents like Osimhen, waiting for the right leadership, support, and environment to rise, excel, and bring glory to the nation.
I reiterate that a new Nigeria, where all sectors develop simultaneously for the balanced growth and health of the nation is POssible.
I wish @victorosimhen9 even greater success in the years ahead. -PO
A day well spent.
A week well spent.
A month well spent.
If the algorithm brings this to your timeline, say 'thank you God' for a successful April ending.
