May you never see shame

Equity targets are easy to write in good times.
The real test is whether they survive the next budget cut.

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

Community scorecards without institutional response are just public complaint boxes.
Voice without answerability changes nothing.

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

Cross-sectorty work needs more than meetings. It needs joint authority and joint accountability. Otherwise health remains everyone’s concern and no one’s responsibility.

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

Housing policy is health policy.
Education policy is health policy.
Transport policy is health policy.
Until budgets and mandates reflect that, “Health in All Policies” stays a slogan.

Surgeon in Ogun.
Patient in Abuja.
500 km apart.
One successful telerobotic surgery.
Prof. Obi Ekwenna-Davis just showed what is possible.
Now the harder work begins: turning this breakthrough into wider, fairer access.

Physical health tip of the day: Watch your step. Spiritual health tip: Get back up quickly. Have a blessed week, everyone!"

We keep inventing new coordination committees.
We rarely invent shared performance metrics or shared money.
That’s why most multi-sector health efforts stay fragile.

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

You cannot build a pandemic-proof world on clinical capacity alone.
The social conditions, coordination failures, and power imbalances that shaped the last pandemic are still largely in place.
Preparedness is a governance problem as much as a medical one.

Health is everyone’s business until the results are bad.
Then it’s no one’s.
Joint programmes without joint budgets and clear answerability just diffuse blame.

Health decisions that were tightly controlled by institutional authority are being partially returned to the person. That shift changes the distribution of risk, the weight of informed consent, and the pressure on families and clinicians.

When a long standing health rule moves from the organisation to the individual, the real question is what that change does to power and responsibility.
Governance is not only about hospitals and ministries. It is also about who gets to decide when the body is on the line.

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

I encourage you today: don't let one bad day convince you that you have a bad life.
Everyone has difficult days. Things may go wrong. Plans may fail. You may even disappoint yourself. But one setback does not have to become your stopping point.
permit yourself to start again.

When you give a community N100k, they become beggars. When they contribute N200, they become owners.

If NPHCDA allowed PHCs to prescribe community connection,

we would reduce hypertension more than any drug supply.

Transparency is the cheapest drug we refuse to prescribe

Japan created a Minister of Loneliness. The UK did too.
Nigeria has a Ministry of Health with zero budget for loneliness.
Yet #WHO says loneliness kills as much as smoking 15 cigarettes a day.

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

If NPHCDA doesn't formally integrate community authority into its implementation chain with recognition, budget, and reporting, we will keep implementing on paper instead of "In people".

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

If we don't govern connection, participation, and accountability at community level,

no amount of money in BHCPF may truely save us

[Gift Yahaya @pgiftworships]

Health is not failing because we lack drugs.

It's failing because we lack governance outside the clinic.
