Low-resource settings don’t need "lite" tech. They need the most advanced AI delivered in the most accessible way.

We’re ensuring that life-saving supplies are always where they need to be.

[Temie Giwa-Tubosun @temite]

Primary healthcare is the foundation of an agile health system. When supplies are available, women and children receive better care.

Thrilled that @LifeBankCares is featured in the @GSMA "AI for Impact at Scale" report for our work with OneSystem. 🧵#lifebankcares

[Temie Giwa-Tubosun @temite]

We’ve built OneSystem on next-generation AI, but we deliver it through accessible technology (USSD & mobile).

The result? 🚀 31% improvement in delivery timelines. 📍 400+ PHCs onboarded. 👩‍⚕️ 1,070+ users preventing stockouts in real-time.

This is the Nigerian spirit that makes me bullish on the country.

[Olashile Abayomi-Wealth @thefireofOla]

I stepped out of a store and saw a little boy of about 2yrs old crying to an ice cream vendor. The ice cream man was seriously yelling at him and asking him to go away, then he shoved the baby.
I was really pissed and asked what happened, he said the baby wants 🍦 and he is not with money.
How much is the🍦he said 100 naira.
Na because of 100 naira you dey push pikin?
Give am 10.
He said madam na 1k o, I no want story o.
I said give am 10 mister man.
The mother of the baby was around watching us.
Then other kids joined and I ended up buying about 30pcs or so.
Then I gave the seller 5k , he said it was excess and I said no worry.
He started crying, said he is a terrible person and he feels ashamed for how he treated the baby, I told him that I understand.
He said he hadn't sold anything and he was frustrated when the baby was tugging at him.
No wahala my bro, take this one join the 5k , e go better by God's grace.
Baby's mother was so happy and hugged me tightly. Said she didn't have 100 naira to buy for the baby that's why.
Mummy baby, you sef guide with this one.
Baby is happy
Other babies around are happy
Ice cream man is happy
Mummy baby is happy
I am fulfilled.
May God ease all our affairs. 🙏

@enodamade But why —- after multiple decades in health — was I excited enough to bring out my screen shot app ready to celebrate! Ugh!

[Temie Giwa-Tubosun @temite]

In my very nonexpert opinion, it is not teaching hospitals that are failing, its primary care. People go to teaching hospitals because primary care has been abandoned! If we actually invest in primary care, then we will have a better chance of saving secondary and tertiary!

[Dr POPOOLA 🌐⚕️ @popoolaadaniel]

I’ll Expose Something that’s been hidden today. The secret No one wants to let out, It’s a long read but you’ll understand why.

Nigeria’s healthcare system needs reform. Not cosmetic reform. Not committee-after-committee reform.
Real reform. Structural reform. Urgent reform.

And at the centre of this collapse is something we don’t talk about enough:
the teaching hospital system.

It has been bastardized. Quietly. Gradually. Almost politely.
And people are dying because of it.

Let’s slow down for a moment.

A teaching hospital, in its true sense, is not just another big hospital with many buildings.
It is supposed to be the final referral point in the health system.
The place where the most complex cases go.
Where specialists teach.
Where research informs care.
Where time, depth, and thinking matter as much as drugs and procedures.

Ideally, a teaching hospital should sit at the peak of a pyramid:
•Primary Health Care handles common, simple conditions
•Secondary (general) hospitals manage moderately complex cases
•Teaching hospitals deal with rare, severe, complicated, or poorly understood problems

That is the theory.

Now, let’s be honest about the Nigerian reality.

In Nigeria, teaching hospitals spend the bulk of their time doing what primary and secondary facilities were created to do.
Very uncomplicated cases.
Cough and catarrh.
Simple diarrhoea.
Uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
Normal labour with no risk factors.

Patients stroll straight into teaching hospitals for issues that should never be there in the first place.

The result?

Doctors, nurses, and trainees are overwhelmed.
Clinics are overcrowded.
Wards are congested.
Emergency rooms are flooded with non-emergencies.

By the time the real teaching hospital cases arrive, the system is already exhausted.

And this is the most painful part.

When the complex cases come, the ones that actually require:
•prolonged clinical reasoning
•multidisciplinary discussions
•careful review of literature
•tailored, patient-specific management

…the doctors are already physically tired.
Mentally drained.
Emotionally worn out.

So what happens?

Care becomes rushed.
Teaching becomes shallow.
Research becomes an afterthought.
And patients who needed the highest standard of care receive something less than optimal.

Not because doctors don’t care.
Not because they are incompetent.
But because the system has set them up to fail.

A teaching hospital is supposed to be your last bus stop.
The place where nothing is too complex.
The place where a single patient can be discussed for hours if needed.
The place where someone can say, “Let’s go back to the literature,” and actually have the time to do it.

That vision is largely lost in Nigeria.

What we have now are teaching hospitals functioning like overcrowded general hospitals, just with more titles, more stress, and higher expectations.

And people are paying for this failure with their lives.

If we are serious as a country, we must rebuild the referral system.
Strengthen primary health care.
Make secondary hospitals functional and trusted.
Enforce proper referral pathways.

Until that happens, teaching hospitals will remain overwhelmed, diluted, and dangerous in ways that are not immediately obvious.

This is not noise.
This is not complaining.
This is a warning.

Reform Nigerian healthcare.
And do it now.

For a really quiet and sleepy state (Minnesota) we are always in the news for some violent stuff. We aren’t even like this at all! Just so disheartening!

[Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya د.حسام أبو صفية @HussamAbuSafiya]

A year has passed since the detention of my father,
In this white coat, he walked alone amidst death, destruction, and in front of tanks—not because he was fearless, but because his oath and his humanity were greater than any fear. He refused to abandon the children and the wounded at Hospital , and for that, he was detained.
This image is a testament to the courage of the man who was the last line of defense for life, and it is the very same scene that ended with his unjust arrest.
A full year of injustice has passed. Today, we ask for nothing but his freedom. Please share his story to keep his voice alive.

Non conviction asset forfeiture! Seize assets worth values outside the payroll of any civil/public servant (their family and associates) and let them prove how they earned the assets - liquidate after 12 months if they do not prove it, do it publicly, and invest in the country!

[Osarogie Ogbonmwan @Osarogieee]

This Malami drama is medicine after death. if your systems, institutions etc can’t stop a govt official from stealing tens to hundreds of billions of naira, then you have a useless system. These dramatic EFCC cases and seizure of property is all noise.
