A Young Nurse Encounters Nigeria

Sunday, January 4th, was an unusually demanding day for me. I had an event in Ughelli, Delta State, and had to drive from Onitsha to the city. From there, I proceeded to another event in Mgbidi, Imo State, and thereafter traveled from Owerri to Lagos.

On the Air Peace flight, I sat in 5A, beside me in 5B was a young woman of about 24 years, Chidera Ugwokeba, whose parents are from the South East, but who was born and raised in the USA. She had just graduated from nursing school and was visiting Nigeria with her parents for the first time. She had exchanged her seat with her sibling to enable her talk to me having been told who I am.

During the flight, she began to share her sadness and confusion about Nigeria. Her first question was simple but piercing: Why do basic things not work in Nigeria? She then recounted a painful experience. Her sister, also visiting Nigeria for the first time, had a domestic accident and was rushed to what they were told was the best government-owned hospital in the area.

On arrival, even though her sister’s hand was bleeding, the hospital staff insisted that payment must be made before any treatment could begin. Shocked, they asked the hospital attendant whether he truly did not see the urgency of the situation. In response, they were shown other patients with even worse conditions who were also being left unattended because they had not paid.

They eventually paid, and it was time for the blood test. Traumatised, they realised the hospital had only one blood-testing machine for all patients, and it was not being sterilised between uses. When she raised concerns that the equipment had not been properly sterilised, they were bluntly told to stop asking questions if they wanted her sister to be treated. Despite their payment, they had to buy all the items needed for her treatment.

She found it hard to believe because, according to her training and every hospital she had visited, treatment comes first - payment comes later. She told me they had considered organizing a GoFundMe to support healthcare back home, but relatives warned them that any money raised would likely be embezzled.

Then she said something that struck me deeply: “I now understand what happened to Boxer Joshua. This is why there was no ambulance to rush him to a nearby hospital.” She wondered aloud whether it was simply because the country is poor. Yet she added that she would willingly offer her skills and service for free and help raise money to make things better.

Listening to the lament of a young, patriotic Nigerian who is prepared to offer free service and raise money to help her country and its citizens, I painfully replied by encouraging her not to lose hope. The country is not poor, but it is poorly governed. Nigeria can afford basic necessities, especially critical and necessary ones, but they are often not considered priorities due to incompetent leadership.

A standard ambulance costs about ₦150 million ($100,000). Nigeria spent ₦39 billion refurbishing the National Conference Centre in Abuja and ₦21 billion rebuilding the Vice President’s residence. Those two projects alone- ₦60 billion -could have provided about 400 brand-new ambulances, roughly 11 per state, including the FCT. Had 11 functional ambulances existed in Ogun State, one might have been available for Joshua.

Building a primary healthcare centre in a community costs about ₦75 million. Yet we spent about ₦300 billion ($200 million) on an additional presidential jet - money that could have built over 4,000 primary healthcare centres, about 110 per state. The only visible value the jet adds is the ability of the President to occasionally disappear without the public knowing where he is, as is the case now.

[Nwigwe Anthony @nwigwe_anthony]

@tokunbo_wahab Well said sir, but the truth is that lekki development was not done properly, what was done in Eko Atlantic should have been the standard for most part of the lekki corridor to minimise flooding but nevertheless the Government is doing it's best .

[Nwigwe Anthony @nwigwe_anthony]

@victorious_Ve @tokunbo_wahab Blocked at where ? Lekki is an emerging city can you show me the master plan and how they planned to control flooding.

The USA Trip and Reflections on Leadership

I left Lagos yesterday, the 24th of Sept, for a 3-day trip to the USA, covering Washington and Chicago, with a stopover in Atlanta. I travelled with Delta Airlines, the first airline in the United States, which has been in existence for over 100 years.

We arrived at Hartsfield–Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the busiest airport in the world. It handles over 100 million passengers annually—about five times the total traffic of all Nigerian airports combined. The airport is owned by the City of Atlanta and generates about $32 billion annually (roughly Nigeria’s 2024 operational budget) for the city, and $70 billion (almost twice Nigeria’s 2025 budget) for the Atlanta metropolitan area and the State of Georgia.

Atlanta City itself runs on an annual budget of about $3 billion (over ₦4.5 trillion). Its current Mayor, Mr Andre Dickens, was a businessman before going into politics. His key commitments include public safety, tackling crime, creating opportunities for young people, and ensuring a minimum of $15 an hour for council workers. He is estimated to be worth about $10 million.

Yesterday, after meeting Mayor Andre Dickens, we both travelled on the same flight to Washington. At Atlanta airport, on the plane, and upon arrival at Ronald Regan National Airport, there was no special announcement of his presence, no aides carrying his bags, and no jumping the queue during boarding or disembarkation.

In Nigeria, governors—most of whom oversee budgets smaller than Atlanta’s—and even local government chairmen, whose allocations are less than 1% of Atlanta’s, would have constituted a public nuisance with sirens, protocol officers, endless announcements, large entourages, and posters everywhere.

Our public conduct and behaviour must change.

A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO
