39 SUVs cost N15.13 billion.
Do that math per vehicle before you keep reading.
N15.13 billion ÷ 39 SUVs = N388 million per vehicle.
Nigeria’s federal government budgeted N388 million for a single SUV in 2026, in a budget already carrying a N31.46 trillion deficit, financed by borrowing N29.2 trillion this year alone.
We are finished in this country
This is not a picture from a movie scene. This is a picture of severe malnutrition, hunger, pains and hopelessness melted on Nigerians by bandits/ terrorists mostly from the northern part of Nigeria. This is the reality of most vulnerable communities in the north. I’m sad 😔
This morning, we conducted our first experiment in Abor Village, Enugu State.
Every child in this hall is from the village.
We gathered them together and delivered a world-class Mathematics lesson designed to build the strong foundations they need to compete confidently with students from the best private schools in the 2027 South East Maths & Science Olympiad.
The most remarkable part?
After the lesson, many of the children said they never knew Mathematics could be this easy. Several of them told us it was the best lesson they had ever attended.
That alone says a lot about the learning gap we need to close.
This is about more than preparing for an Olympiad.
It is about eliminating the learning inequality between children born into privilege and those born into underserved communities.
On Monday, we’ll run the next experiment in Imo State. If the results are equally promising, we’ll begin developing a model that can be replicated across villages throughout the South East.
I’m beginning to believe that we don’t have an intelligence problem, we have an access problem. When children are exposed to world-class teaching, regardless of where they live, they rise to the occasion.
If this model works at scale, it could fundamentally change how we democratize learning in Africa.
We appreciate TN Onodingene Abor ICT Center, for making their facilities free for every child.
One of the saddest breast cancer cases I've ever encountered was a 29-year-old woman.
She found a lump in her breast and went to a teaching hospital.
Diagnosis: Advanced breast cancer. At least Stage IIIA.
She was advised to start chemotherapy immediately to shrink the tumour before surgery.
She was told time was of the essence.
She went home to tell her family dur to fear and a need for financial support.
Her mother suddenly remembered another young woman, about the same age, who had "a lump" removed at a private hospital.
No mastectomy.
No chemotherapy.
She was fine.
What her mother didn't realise was that not every breast lump is the same.
Her friend's lump was benign.
Her daughter's own was cancer.
So they sought another option.
The lump was removed, but the wound never healed and unfortunately, no histology was done and no further treatment guven
Then someone suggested a traditional healer in a nearby settlement.
They went.
Eight months passed.
By the time she returned to the hospital, she was septic, anaemic, severely malnourished, and the cancer had progressed beyond what it was before.
She died within a week.
The heartbreaking part?
In that same year, she could have completed her treatment.
Fear is powerful, and when you're desperate, the promise of an easier path can be incredibly tempting.
But delayed or inappropriate treatment steals something medicine can never give back.
Time.
If you're ever diagnosed with anything and you're unsure about the recommended treatment, please seek a second opinion from another qualified specialist.
Ask questions.
Understand your options.
But don't disappear.
Don't lose months chasing an easier answer.
Sometimes, time is the treatment.

TIME FOR ACTION: SAVE NIGERIA'S HEALTHCARE SYSTEM BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
The Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD), under the leadership of *Dr. Mohammad Usman Suleiman(Garkuwan Matasan Arewa), wishes to once again draw the attention of all Nigerians to the worsening state of the nation's healthcare system and the urgent need for decisive government intervention.
For several months, the National Executive Council (NEC) of NARD has demonstrated patience, maturity, and an unwavering commitment to industrial harmony. We have extended the Federal Government's ultimata on more than four occasions in good faith, hoping that our longstanding demands would receive the urgent attention they deserve.
Regrettably, many of the assurances made have remained unfulfilled, while critical issues affecting healthcare workers and the quality of healthcare delivery have been neglected, with no clear roadmap towards resolution.
Today, six (6) pressing issues continue to threaten the survival of Nigeria's healthcare system:
1. House Officers' Welfare: Persistent delays in salary payment, non-payment of salary arrears, and failure to regularize salary payments nationwide.
2. Assaults on Healthcare Workers: The continuous rise in attacks on healthcare professionals without a comprehensive government policy to prevent such incidents or ensure appropriate sanctions against perpetrators.
3. The LUTH Crisis: The denial of call meal entitlements, withdrawal of other welfare packages, and refusal by some consultants to endorse examination forms for eligible Resident Doctors.
4. Promotion Arrears: non-payment of promotion arrears owed to Medical Officers.
5. Salary Arrears: Failure to pay salary arrears in several institutions, including FUHS Otukpo, UUTH Uyo, OAUTHC ILE- IFE, FMC Owo, AEFUTHA Abakaliki, among others.
6. PAT Arrears: non-payment of 19 months PAT arrears owed to the entire healthcare workers.
These are not merely doctors' demands. They are fundamental issues that directly affect the morale, productivity, and retention of the healthcare workforce, ultimately impacting every Nigerian who depends on our hospitals for care.
Despite repeated dialogue and sustained engagement, the Government has failed to demonstrate the level of commitment required to resolve these longstanding concerns.
Consequently, after exhaustive deliberations, the National Executive Council of the Nigerian Association of Resident Doctors (NARD) has resolved to embark on a Total, Comprehensive, and Indefinite Nationwide Strike, commencing at 8:00 a.m. on Monday, 10th August, 2026, should these issues remain unresolved.
We sincerely regret the inconvenience this action may cause Nigerians. However, we believe that preserving the integrity of Nigeria's healthcare system requires immediate and courageous action. A healthcare system cannot function effectively when those entrusted with saving lives are continually neglected.
We therefore call on all Nigerians, civil society organizations, professional bodies, and well-meaning stakeholders to lend their voices in urging the Federal Government to act swiftly and responsibly to avert this avoidable disruption of healthcare services.
To our esteemed members across the country, we appreciate your resilience, sacrifices, and unwavering dedication to patient care. We urge you to remain calm, united, disciplined, and resolute as we collectively pursue a better healthcare system for all.
The time for promises has passed. The time for action is now.
Yours Militantly
P-MUS of NARD
