This video is a call for help.
My mum is battling with stroke, and it is slowly taking her life. She needs urgent medical funds to stay alive, and I cannot do this alone anymore. Please, if you have it in your heart to help or retweet this to someone who can, I beg of you 🤲🏻🙏
Let’s run an experiment. Check the profiles of most of the people in the replies and quotes, you will see; doctor, nurse, pharmacist, MLS, Intern, med student, radiographer etc…the rest of the public looks away like it’s not their business.
The other day a patients relative beat up a house officer and he lost his life
Today Efcc beat up a cardiothoracic consultant
And you’re here asking why NMA should go on strike
You’re very very stupid
“What happens to other patients who have spent millions on admission?”
This is emotional blackmail.
A doctor was assaulted, and somehow the focus has shifted from the violence (which has been normalized) to making doctors feel guilty for reacting.
Mind you, reports said he was operating on a patient in theatre when the incident happened…I wonder what happened to that patient.
They literally fired shots and sprayed tear gas too.
But it’s still the doctor that should be thinking about the patients on admission?
I said what I said.
Shut down the hospital.
Now I’m hearing that the state director of NMA has directed doctors across the states to shut down services, while JOHESU has also declared a hospital shutdown in protest.
As much as I understand their anger and frustration, why should innocent patients be made to suffer for it?
🚨 BREAKING: THE THEATRE IS NO LONGER SACRED. TOP SURGEON BRUTALIZED AT UUTH. 🇳🇬
We are receiving horrific reports from the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital (UUTH). This isn't just a news update; it is a direct assault on the medical profession.
This morning, May 12, 2026, armed and masked operatives identified by eyewitnesses as personnel from the EFCC stormed the federal facility in a commando-style raid. They didn't come to arrest a criminal; they came for Professor Eyo Ekpe.
Professor Ekpe is a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery. He is the Deputy CMAC of UUTH. He is one of the few specialists standing between life and death for millions of Nigerians in the South-South.
Witnesses say the operatives were ruthless. Staff members who tried to intervene were beaten and threatened with firearms. Imagine being a Professor of Medicine and the Deputy CMAC of a tertiary hospital, only to be dragged out of your office like a common thief.
Reports suggest this assault was triggered by a dispute over a medical report for a relative of a high-ranking official. However, the EFCC has yet to issue an official statement explaining the reason for the raid itself, as the entire situation simply does not make sense.
We are calling on the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA): How much more can we take? If a Professor of Surgery is not safe in his own hospital, who is?
Nigeria is bleeding specialists, and today, the system just cut its own throat. We demand the immediate release of Professor Ekpe and a total apology for this desecration of our health sector. 🩺✊
We need to go on a Nationwide strike for the atrocity that happened in Uyo.
How do you assault Healthcare workers?
Moreso, A Professor of Cardiothoracic surgery was assaulted. What???
That's not acceptable.
Cheating is bad and you people hate cheating so much but Chioma is you people’s Idea of a Good woman. Any Woman that stays with her cheating husband is you people’s idea of Good woman. Even pastors are asking women to confess righteousness into their cheating husband. Hypocrites!
I don’t think the psychological effects of being cheated on is studied enough. That man likely will never trust or truly love a romantic partner ever again.
