Nigeria keeps saying it doesn’t have enough doctors.
We have only about 50,000 doctors serving over 200 million people. That's 1 Doctor to over 4,000 patients.
You'd expect every doctor willing to serve to be encouraged.
Instead, one is detained after carrying out a menstrual hygiene outreach in Kaduna State.
Another 238 young doctors who returned home to practise wake up to an unexplained increase in their induction fees from ₦265,000 to over ₦415,000.
We cannot keep discouraging the very people we desperately need.
I respectfully appeal to the @KadunaMOH, @GovKaduna, @WHONigeria, @NGRSenate, @NGRPresident, and @Fmohnigeria to ensure Dr Al-Amin regains his freedom, and to the @MDCNOfficial to review this new fee.
Cheap travel across Europe, taking tourism seriously, easy travel across Europe for both EU and non-EU travelers.... Very hard for European football to have the success it does without these foundations. You really can't outgrow/out-develop your govt and infrastructure.
I missed the last train in Seoul once.
Phone at 3%. Didn’t speak Korean. It was raining, freezing, and I had no idea where I was supposed to go.
I tried calling an Uber but my card kept failing because of my bank fraud protection. Perfect timing.
I was standing outside the station looking completely defeated when this older woman walked up to me and started speaking Korean. I told her I didn’t understand.
She pulled out her phone translator and typed:“You are lost?”
I nodded.
She asked where I was staying, looked at the address, then motioned for me to follow her.
This woman walked me almost 15 minutes through side streets, holding her umbrella over both of us while I apologized every thirty seconds.
When we got to my hotel, I tried offering her cash for helping me.
She looked genuinely offended.
Typed into the translator again:“If my son was lost somewhere, I hope someone helps him too.”
Then she bowed and walked away in the rain before I could even process what happened.
Some places still treat strangers like human beings first.
If only the C-in-C can be intentional about security the way he is about politics, we won't be bringing out 3 Lt. Colonels and a Brigade Commander One Star General in body bags. Be intentional, show the will, force the Service Chiefs to change strategy and be true to your oath.
"OGA, OIL NA OIL"
The last time I went to get engine oil to service my car, I met a man who came with a 2010 Toyota Corolla. I noticed he got a different oil from what is recommended for his car. I tried to educate him but he said, "Oga, oil na oil." I didn't give up.
I ensured I educated him and he was receptive and very thankful. Told me no wonder his engines kept failing after about 2-3 years. He had been driving for over 20 years but never knew what I'm about to teach you in less than 3 minutes.
I noticed that most car owners in Nigeria have a toxic relationship with their engines. They drive to a roadside mechanic, hand over some cash, and let the man buy "any oil" that comes in a bottle. Or worse, they buy the cheapest one because "oil is oil."
That is the fastest way to turn a 2022 engine into a 1998 scrap metal.
Let’s talk about those numbers on the bottle, like 5W-20, and why they actually matter for your engine.
Engine oil is like honey. When it’s cold, it’s thick. When it’s hot, it becomes runny like water. The numbers tell you how much the oil resists this change.
The 5W stands for winter. Even though we don't have snow, your engine is cold every morning before you start it. The lower this number, the faster the oil flows when you first turn on the car. A 0W or 5W flows instantly. A 20W is like cold ogbono soup. It stays at the bottom of the engine while your metal parts are rubbing against each other dry for the first few seconds. That is where 90% of engine wear happens.
The 20 is the heat rating. It tells you how thick the oil stays when the engine is screaming at 100°C. If your car asks for 20 and you put 50, the oil is too thick. It’s like trying to drink a thick milkshake or kunu aya through a tiny straw. Your engine has to work 10x harder just to move the oil around. It loses power, and your fuel finishes faster.
So, how do you know the right oil for your car?
You don't need a mechanic’s opinion for this. The answer is literally written in two places:
1. The Oil Cap: Open your hood. Look at the plastic cap where the oil goes in. Manufacturers often print it right there (e.g SAE 5W-20).
2. The Manual: That book in your glove box isn't for decoration. It has a chart that tells you exactly what grade your engine was designed to take. Although most car owners don't even have this again.
Many old-school mechanics believe that thick oil (like 20W-50) is better for Nigerian heat or older engines. This is a lie. Modern engines have tiny, microscopic gaps between parts. If you put thick oil in a modern engine, it cannot fit into those gaps.
You are basically starving your engine of blood while the mechanic tells you "The engine sounds heavy and strong." Don't fall for that.
Stop surrendering your car's life to a man who hasn't read a manual since 1994. Buy your own oil. Read the label.
Your engine is a high-precision machine. Treat it like a heart, not a waste bin.
INALEGWU.
Sen. Abaribe (Abia South) has moved a motion that the senators should vote individually on the issue of mandating electronic transmission of election results.
Lol, Abaribe wan make Nigerians identify those enemies 🤣
@Chima_Obi1234 Please take heart and accept my condolences. You are doing what is right by your child, please pursue this case to a logical conclusion. Once again, please take heart
Today, a buyer came with his mechanic to inspect a car I personally imported. The car was very clean, no issues. After checking everything, the mechanic pulled me aside and said before he could give his final approval to the buyer, I should give him 400k.
I was surprised, While he was still talking, another buyer who inspected the car yesterday sent full payment and confirmed pickup.
When I refused his request, the mechanic turned around and started telling his buyer that the car had issues. Unknown to him, the conversation was recorded. I played it for the buyer and then informed them the car had already been sold.
In my @AriseTV interview today with Charles Aniagolu, I pointed out that our Leaders should not underestimate the rising toll that extreme poverty is taking on approximately 140 million Nigerians. If all the "oppressors" gather in a single ruling party then the "battle lines" will be crystal clear. Security of life & property is already under threat. People have also lost faith in the Judiciary and so they might increasingly resort to self-help to resolve electoral disputes if @inecnigeria bungles the next general elections.

@azuosumili Congratulations Sir! Please fix your website, I have been missing your shows because of this. You are an important voice in the radio landscape. Captain Smart's Instagram too has been off for some time now.
STOP the Bloodshed in this Land. Period.
What are all these silly Debates about, really?
Of what use are Governments that cannot protect their own people?
Of what use are “leaders” who do not value the lives of their people?
Of what humanity are people in power and our society who defend such failures?
Of what Future are a people who allow such evil to become normal in their country while they sit around to “debate” about the mass killings of their fellow countrymen, women and children to determine if it is really “Genocide”?
In 2015, they came for our Chibok daughters and several others, Nigerians sat around debating “Politics” while the parents of the girls cried in anguish pleading to “even be believed that they are not “scam parents”.
Those that believed them, joined their cries, stood in empathy to ask Governments to take constitutionally mandated effective actions for the girls’ rescue.
Our cries and demands fell on deaf ears and hardened hearts.
We cautioned that if Government failed to act decisively against the terrorists by allowing them to go unpunished, the inaction and absence of deterrence would embolden the organized deadly criminals.
What we cautioned against happened and in 2018, same terrorists abducted Dapchi School girls.
As predicted, Kidnappings soon escalated and morphed into an Industry with many families in this country becoming victims of the same losses, griefs and anguish that the ChibokGirls, Leah Sharibu and their parents were left to suffer.
More than 90% of the Chibok Secondary School girls that were abducted were Christians.
I for example did not know this until much later in the demand for their rescue and justice.
Sharibu was punished for being a Christian and not released along with her classmates when Government negotiated their freedom.
Yet, as kidnappings and killings escalated, rather than take responsibility and act effectively, Governments were more interested in unleashing all manner of assaults on innocent citizens who demanded for accountability and results.
I ask again, “Of what use are “leaders” and Governments that cannot protect their own people?”
Stop the silly debates.
Stop defending the indefensible.
Stop the irresponsible deflecting.
Stop the heartless indifference to the sufferings and injustices done to others.
There are no ifs, buts and whataboutism about the mass killings of Nigerians.
Just be human by imagining what it feels like to be in the line of vulnerability that historic, courageous and incredible Reverend Ezekiel and others have been calling all of us to see.
When your fellow humans tell you they are being targeted, learn to listen with human compassion.
The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.
Even a Lai Mohammed called it Genocide in 2023 when he was Minister of Information. Yes, the same Lai Mohammed that Nigerians know.
The Death and Dearth of Empathy is the basis of some of the horrible definitional debates on “Genocide” that is going on in a Land where hundreds of our fellow citizens are killed daily with impunity.
So what really is all the Debates about?
One more Nigerian does not deserve to be killed while our Governments do nothing. Period.
Be Human Beings for a change and stop “majoring in the minors”.
It did not have to take the insults and threat from Trump to wake up our Government to the Duty of Care it owes EVERY CITIZEN of Nigeria.
Again, Be Human Beings for Once.
STOP the Bloodshed in OUR Land.
Period. ✍🏾✍🏾✍🏾
