The same thing happens in most countries of the world. They ensure you cough out thousands before they can help you secure an apartment.

Except you are just fortunate to know a house owner directly, and he's willing to do you that favour of direct rent. Otherwise, you go sweat

When your days as a university student union president are the only memories you've got you keep referring to it at every turn.

Operatives of the Nigeria Police Force have rescued the wife of the former Assistant Inspector General, Hakeem Odumosu.

The Force Public Relations Officer, Muyiwa Adejobi, confirmed this on his official X handle on Thursday morning.

Adejobi added that the abductors of the former AIG’s wife were killed, and ransom was recovered from the culprits.

Adejobi said the Inspector General of Police, Kayode Egbetokun, commended the police operatives and the Ogun State Commissioner of Police, Lanre Ogunlowo, for a good job.

PUNCH Online reports that Mrs Odumosu was abducted last Thursday at the entrance of her residence in the Arepo area of Ogun State.

obviously you have no Idea of what civilisation means, well developed countries are still working hard building and rebuilding their cities and you're saying someone is coming in to relax. Abuja is a major village compared to some cities in Africa not to even mention places like Europe Asia and dubai.

I see people buying motors worth millions everywhere and u re saying there are few people making that amount every month??

Last year, I saved an average of 1.2m per month starting from May last year(which means I earn more than that) but still dem no born me well to buy car.

Tho I am a business man sha, I uses my money as capital so its difficult for me to just bring out money to lavish on cars.


But bro, people are making more than 5m per month in Nigeria..gbagbe boshe shele.

😒

You should’ve made this topic more specific, Like “Companies that pay their staffs 1M and above “

When it comes to Earning, many people earn over 5M monthly and have monthly expenses running in 1.5-2 M monthly.

It might take a 1M monthly earner 5 years savings to build a standard bungalow. How then do you think people buy cars and build duplexes here and there 😒

UK patients are “coming to harm” with hospitals so overwhelmed people are dying in corridors awaiting treatment amid a “collapse in care standards”, a report said Thursday.

In the latest indictment of Britain’s beleaguered state-funded National Health Service, nine in 10 NHS nurses surveyed by the country’s nurses union said, “patient safety is being compromised.:

Nearly seven in 10 (66.8 per cent) said they were delivering care in “overcrowded or unsuitable places” on a “daily basis”, including in corridors, converted cupboards, car parks, and even bereavement rooms.

“The experiences of over 5,000 nursing staff across the UK highlight a devastating collapse in care standards, with patients routinely coming to harm,” said the Royal College of Nursing (RCN).


The report condemned the “normalisation” of so-called “corridor care”, with nurses unable to access life-saving equipment in cramped spaces.

One nurse in East England said corridor care in their hospital trust was “not an exception, it’s the rule”.

Last month, some 54,000 patients in emergency departments in England had to wait over 12 hours until a hospital bed was available, up 23 percent from December 2023.

The report is a result of a Royal College of Nursing request at the end of December, asking members to fill out a short survey.

The report includes “the raw, unedited and often heart-breaking comments” of the thousands of nursing staff working across the UK who responded, the RCN said.


The report comes as NHS figures released separately Thursday revealed that last week was the busiest yet for the health service this winter, with hospitals “jam-packed” with patients.

Some 96 percent of all hospital beds were full, said Julian Redhead, NHS national clinical director for urgent and emergency care, warning that despite a drop in flu numbers “winter viruses are much higher than usual for this time of year”.

The RCN report included testimonies from nurses treating up to 40 patients waiting in a corridor, as well as reports of pregnant women miscarrying in corridors.

Some said the overcrowding in corridors impeded them from giving life-saving resuscitation (CPR). One nurse recalled a patient dying after a cardiac arrest “by the male toilet”.

Another alleged having to treat cardiac arrests “with no crash bell, crash trolley, oxygen, defibrillator… straddling a patient doing CPR while everyone watches on”.

“This devastating testimony from frontline nursing staff shows patients are coming to harm every day”, said RCN General Secretary Nicola Ranger.

“Vulnerable people are being stripped of their dignity and nursing staff are being denied access to vital lifesaving equipment. We can now categorically say patients are dying in this situation,” Ranger added.

In June 2024, the RCN declared a “national emergency” over hospital overcrowding and care being delivered in unsuitable places.

Health Foundation charity’s assistant director of policy Tim Gardner said record delays in emergency care “were a rarity before the pandemic, but are now the worst we have seen since records began in 2011”.

There are some 7.5 million people on the NHS waiting list, with more than three million having faced delays longer than 18 weeks for treatment.

Labour Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who was elected in July on a ticket that included fixing the NHS, rolled out a plan at the start of the year which included expanding community health centres to reduce pressure on hospitals.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting on Wednesday said corridor care was “unsafe” and “undignified” but it would “take time to undo the damage” to the NHS.

Lots of houses in Lekki are more expensive than that Atlanta house. A house valued at just over $600k is embarrassing for a Nigerian politician of his class. 2million dollars property would have been more ideal.

There's obviously no intention of the organizers to cause death or manslaughter as it is alleged. The state government should rather channel its energy towards compensation of the affected families by the event organizers and making laws that will prevent a recurrence of what happened.
The laws can mandate event organizers to make certain arrangements and involve stipulated government agencies before any public gatherings should take place.
