We cannot truly love God unless this love overflows into love for our brothers and sisters. And we cannot truly love our neighbor except as children of the same Father who loved us first in his Son, Jesus. #GospelOfTheDay (Mt 22:34–40)
There is no place in the world where Healthcare is free.
every time, someone within or at the end of the spectrum is paying whether government, private individual, donors, NGO etc
We need to understand that hospital care is not equivalent to free care, setting up a hospital requires funding and a continual pool of funds to sustain care.
Hospitals ( except where stated) are not charity based faith organisations that run on a pool of donor funds.
Passion won't pay the bills of the Healthcare workers, Passion won't restock medical supplies if you decide to do pro-bono care, NO. Money is the Engine.
when we have discourses like these, it is good to tackle the horse before the cart and not Vice versa.
A flip question
"Why will Chicken Republic and Bukka Hut refuse to serve food to hungry customers who come to the restaurant without money to pay for food, that is unfair to humanity"
There is no where in medical ethics that proscribe medicine as free care.
what we should be talking about is how do we subsidize care and make it more accessible for the common man.
This is where we take the fight to the government.
HEALTH INSURANCE is a big way forward
for a country that is over 200 million, less than 5 % of people have insurance. In a country where poverty figures are at an all tine high, how will people afford health care?
Do we expect hospitals that spend their monies to establish facilities to start charity. NO
First, Mandate every Nigerian to have health insurance.
foster public and private partnerships.
Institute health policies that give hospitals lower running costs and taxes.
create a supply chain system where medical consumables are cheaper and more accessible.
Revamp and rehabilitate PHCs.
With these little fixes, watch the narrative change.
but till then, the issue of not accessing care due to poverty will still linger.
Long read I know. but it is good it is explicit.
Thanks
Nigeria's 2026 solar additions are two times what it installed in 2024 and 2025 combined.
So, that is nearly 2 GW of solar in 2026, so far.
Nigeria had ~14 GW of total generation capacity in 2025.
But its peak is ~5 GW.
2 GW of solar in 2026 is huge!

You have to move through life knowing you are somebody extraordinary, while also remembering that you are a nobody who knows nothing. The highest levels of consciousness can hold both truths simultaneously.
One thing I know how to do is Pivot. I can reinvent Myself as many times as I need to. And never care if the paths change because I’m too Confident in the fact that I’ll figure it out.
The real struggle of adulthood is that you cannot afford to fall apart for too long. People depend on you, bills are waiting, and the world has absolutely no interest in whether you're having a difficult time.
