Jakpon:
Somehow somehow you must bring the South West into your narrative.

I doubt he is trying to create that picture. What he is saying is quite scary honestly

DemonSlayer:
One? How about I give you seven?

1. I regret not being consistent.

2. Not facing my discomfort avoidance early. That thief has robbed me blind—time, growth, grit, relationships.

3. Not mastering software engineering in my early twenties. I like to bite more than I can chew. Too many interests, Jack of all fvckin trades... Shoudav picked one skill, mastered it like a god, then move the next one.

4. Not paying attention in school. It was a village school, my teachers were awful, and it was easy. But village school or not, I had textbooks. I just didn’t put in my best.

5. Not being ambitious enough. Not building a business after school and the first two jobs. I would have failed, almost certainly but I also would have since learned what I'm learning now. My money game weak when I should’ve been moving mad.

6. Not buying Bitcoin when it was the price of suya.

7. And oh—I missed my japa window. When it was cheap and easy.

we have the same regrets abi mistake

They should find out those who built the soak away harboring the dead bodies.
You can't tell me that that this those bodies magically diffused through the concrete walls.

ROTTWEILER007:
I don't know why i can't trust any politician no matter how much they are been praised. I had a governor of a state that achieved a lot in terms of infrastructural development but stole so much. You would hear people defending him. "Yes he stole, but he worked". He's better than the rest. If EFCC touch am, we hit the streets! Their papa!

Well any how e wan be, I no go dey this country before 2027 because e no go ever better.

yh you are correct so sad

autoez:
UK should take half of our population please because many Nigerians are useless to their fellow Nigerians. They should open their doors wider abeg

But let’s pause and think. The visa fee is £700. Multiply that by 120,000 successful Nigerian applicants—that’s £84 million generated just from Nigeria alone in 2024. And that doesn’t even include the thousands of rejected applications. Now double that for countries like India. Imagine how much the airlines are making each year from these migrations and round trips.

Truly, the people running the world are playing chess while others are still figuring out checkers. They know exactly what they’re doing.

it's better than staying in a country where as a common man you have no existence

I think this is to misdirected our attention we should be talking of how expensive it is. 22 units cost about 5k which doesn't last for a week. Government should look at this minimum wage and see to review it cos with it one can survive.

SoftSport:
While her pain is valid and heartbreaking let’s remember we don’t know the full story so we should avoid emotional outbursts and stop casting blame on an entire noble profession based on one incident.

Exactly Nigerian patients and their relatives are one of the most wicked weapons fashioned against doctors. From history taking down to treatment it's a struggle with them. Some lie, some will never answer your questions then there's poverty. Some drugs you prescribe to them are quite expensive then there's the fact that even after doing all your patient may still die. But then every profession has their bad eggs.

Offpoint1:
For the love of me, I don't see why relocating from your home land to a foreign land a success.

We are screwed up mentally as people, thanks to useless African leaders.

Imagine people making relocation to foreign land a prayer point, an ambition or dream... That's how fxxkedup we are as people.

so they should not celebrate escaping hell abi. A country that rewards thief is not worth dieing for. Here it's is normal for government to owe you salaries, pensions etc. Minimum wage is poor. Omo shift jare

Firebox123:
did you how much dey pay in UK and USA for 3hrs daily electricity 🔌

Calculate it in naira you'll be shocked 😲

Nigerian complain too much

did you factor in thier minimum wage?

No resident doctor earns less than 400k in a public hospital in Nigeria as at today. Maybe the 316k excludes call duty allowance

bro this is after tax. It's 316k and funny enough once you start residency, you get paid after 3 months of resuming.

RandomFellow:
Its not supposed to be an issue; but knowing that the Caliphate want the whole of Southern Nigeria to become a conquered territory, this calls for concern.

Their plan is simple- acquire massive lands legally; bring their people in tiny bits, and let them marry and reproduce; overpopulate the acquired lands by massive births; covertly begin to ask for basic rights like schools, hospitals, markets, rights to vote, etc; become major political players in the said area where they have taken root, like deciding who becomes the chairman of a local government chairman or even governor. Strike a deal with a desperate politician to advance their course; get an opportunity to put their person in power... Take over the state and never relinquish their acquired power... Continue till their holy book is dipped in the Atlantic Ocean!

Read about Afikpo North in Ebonyi state (focus on Mgbom, Uwanna), and Ilorin in Kwara state.

why do I feel that you are right

Bendeco02:
My point is what is so special in choosing to be a military man over other professions.

But your IQ is very low to understand

The reason you say this is that Nigeria has been structured in a way that only politicians enjoy the dividends of democracy.

you are the propagandist here. We have people in that country and we are getting information from them, tinubu should be ashamed of himself

[quote author=malali post=135167280][/quote]love what you've created. Keep up the good work, looks like a fresh of breath air.

How do we tackle corruption in Nigeria?

NetbizBoss:
Africans are very funny set of humans. You arrested someone who illegally surply arms to terrorist and you are begging his country to prope him. Somebody that is I your custody. Will Rusians or the Chinese arrest him and then beg UK to prope him?

Can't you charge him to court and jail him? To serve as a deterrent to other would be foreign arms supplyers?

lol well atleast they've arrested him.

koladata:
Burkina Faso president Captain Ibrahim Traoré didn’t waste time proving a point!

A doctor who publicly criticized him for “not doing enough” in the fight against t,errorism has found himself living that reality — literally.

Reports say the doctor was arrested, given military training, and sent straight to the battlefield to help fight terrorism “since he believes he knows better than the military.”

Captain Traoré reportedly said if the doctor has all the answers, then he should be allowed to contribute directly.

This may sound awesome but shows the general problem that African leaders have intolerance to criticism and self opinion.

SmartEnergyng:
Thank you sincerely for your[b]**civil tone and willingness to engage thoughtfully**[/b]—this is exactly the kind of exchange we need more of in our national conversations.

You're absolutely right about the need to **cut down on the cost of governance**. [/b]I’ve made this same point repeatedly—even in my response to others who pretend that defending economic reform means excusing wasteful spending. [b]**It doesn’t.**
Reform must be *wholesome*, not selective. If the people are tightening their belts, then government must be seen tightening its agbada too.

On[b]**reinvesting in critical sectors**—yes, again, spot on. Healthcare, agriculture, and industry are the engines of long-term national value. Without real investment in **production and productivity**, even the most carefully managed naira will remain under pressure.

Now, on the issue of **minimum wage and corpers’ allowance**—you make a valid observation about purchasing power erosion. ₦70,000 today does not carry the same weight ₦33,000 had years ago. But here’s the delicate balance: **raising wages without fixing productivity, inflation, and revenue sources just prints more money and fuels inflation further.**

What we need is[b] **a wage increase tied to value creation**[/b]—both in the private and public sector. Otherwise, we’ll just end up giving people more naira that buys them even less.

As for the **Sierra Leone comparison**, I’d caution that cross-country salary comparisons can be tricky. Yes, some professionals may earn more on paper, but we must factor in taxation, cost of living, inflation, and currency stability. Still, your sentiment is valid—it’s frustrating that **Nigerian professionals aren’t rewarded enough**, considering their talent and workload.

But we fix that not just by paying more, but by **rebuilding the economy that pays them**—through better tax policy, export earnings, and service-sector growth.

In short, we’re not far apart. We all want a Nigeria that works—for everyone.
I just believe **we have to build internal value before external rewards can be sustained.**

Let’s keep talking—and thank you again for keeping the tone respectful and the ideas flowing.

Thank you Kind Human

Veiniously:
In a country where NYSC khaki has barely dried from sun and sweat after one year of national service, a new storm is brewing. The Minister of Education, Dr. Olatunji Alausa, has reportedly proposed extending the National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) program to two years.

Yes you read that right. Two full years. One for skill acquisition and entrepreneurship training, and the other for national service.


The proposal: skills first, service later
According to reports, the new structure would dedicate the first year to skills and entrepreneurship development, followed by the second year of regular NYSC postings and service to the nation.

Supporters say it could help bridge the unemployment gap, providing youth with tools to become self-reliant or be absorbed into security agencies like the police or army.

https://xwahala.com.ng/two-years-of-nysc-nigerians-react-as-minister-proposes-bold-new-plan/

So as a doctor who has acquired professional skill, why should I pass through 1 year to acquire skills and entrepreneur skills if my government is managing the economy appropriately. Misplaced priorities to even pay youth corper 77k was a huge challenge.

SmartEnergyng:
A Different Lens on Economic Strength
Let’s be clear: yes, the naira has weakened considerably, and inflation is a real threat. Nigerians are not living in economic luxury. But the way forward is not to frame our reality solely in the language of exchange rates. That’s like judging a yam’s worth by the size of a potato in another man’s farm.

What Nigeria must do—what Dr. Fasua is advocating—is to start developing an internal sense of value. Not one dependent on the dollar, but one built on local productivity, pricing, and practical standards of living.

The obsession with how our money performs abroad has blinded us to how it can be made to work better at home.

I agree with you on the part of developing internal value but first let's cut down on government spending and reinvest it in sectors such as Healthcare, Agriculture, Industry etc. Also increase of minimum wage which can sustain the needs of the common man. 70,000 naira cannot sustain one at all. Even the 77k being paid to youth corper is less than the value of 33k paid 5 years ago. It's sad that a doctor in Sierra lonne earns more than a Nigerian doctor.

noleflendum:
learned man kill you there

Gosh in all honesty I was not expecting this from you

noleflendum:
Nigerians should be taking things easy
Everything is not about death threats, we should respect people's choice and simply condemn their foolishness in words not by threatening their lives or making tribalistic accusations

thank you for speaking like a learned man.

EXOUSIAng:
This is actually very wrong.
But because the governor is Labour Party and Obidient, it is celebrated.

If this were to be an APC governor, they would have raised dusts saying all crazy things

How is this wrong?
A lady that stood against the manipulation of voters choice in a state, is being commended by the said winner.
I for once support him in this but I still pray that Dr. Alex Otti start paying all pensions, Commence minimum wage for civil Servants and continue to build good, durable roads across ABIA.

mushroomFarm:
I appreciate the information and I am sure everyone does too. A quick fix though. The kidney produces an hormone called erythropoietin which stimulates red blood cells formation in the bone marrow. The kidney does not produce red blood cells by itself. Thus we should only say the kidney produces hormones and not red blood cells
The adrenal glands that secrets adrenaline hormone is also located on the kidneys.

Accuracy of anatomical and physiological facts is very important in medicine

Dpharmacist:
Nigeria’s health system is a train wreck.

Nigeria’s health sector is in dire need of a comprehensive, industry-wide audit. For years, the system has struggled with poor infrastructure, inadequate funding, corruption, brain drain, and inefficiencies that have left millions without access to quality healthcare.
Conducting a thorough audit would expose hidden challenges, corruption, highlight opportunities for improvement, and drive evidence-based policymaking to ensure a healthier future for Nigerians.

But beyond the health sector, every other industry in Nigeria—education, power, agriculture, manufacturing, finance, and more—could benefit from similar audits. Transparency, accountability, and proper resource allocation are essential for sustainable development, and without data-driven insights, reforms remain disjointed and ineffective.

The Case for a Health Sector Audit

Nigeria's healthcare system has been plagued by mismanagement, inadequate funding, and a lack of oversight. A comprehensive audit would provide valuable insights that could transform the sector in several ways:

1. Exposing Corruption and Mismanagement

The health sector, like many others, suffers from misallocation of funds, ghost workers, and procurement fraud. Billions are budgeted yearly, yet hospitals remain under-equipped, and basic medical supplies are often unavailable. An audit would reveal where the money truly goes and ensure resources reach the right places.

2. Addressing the Brain Drain Crisis

Nigeria is losing its best doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to countries like the UK, US, Canada, and Saudi Arabia due to low wages, poor working conditions, and lack of career advancement opportunities. An audit would help policymakers understand:

Why professionals are leaving

How salary structures compare globally

What policy changes could retain talent


3. Improving Infrastructure and Equipment

Many public hospitals lack functioning diagnostic machines, operating theaters, and even basic supplies like gloves and syringes. An audit would assess the current state of infrastructure and provide a roadmap for improvement.

4. Enhancing Drug Distribution and Availability

The issue of fake and substandard drugs has long plagued Nigeria, leading to treatment failures and drug resistance. A proper audit would trace drug supply chains, expose inefficiencies, and improve regulatory oversight to ensure Nigerians get quality medications.

5. Strengthening Primary Healthcare Systems

Despite being the first point of contact for many Nigerians, primary healthcare centers (PHCs) remain grossly underfunded and understaffed. An audit would:

Assess the number and conditions of PHCs

Identify gaps in staffing and funding

Help design interventions that improve access to healthcare in rural areas

Primary Health Clinics are supposed go to be the first point of contact for patients but well —PHCs are empty shells.


Life expectancy’s stuck at 54 while billions vanish into thin air.

A full-on audit could fix this—dig up the dirt, show where the cash is going, and force some damn accountability.

Imagine knowing exactly why rural clinics have no drugs or how much gets looted from budgets. It’d push real fixes, not just talk. Every sector—health, education, power—needs this wake-up call.

Why aren’t we demanding it? Thoughts? Who’s got the guts to make it happen?

PS. The first 2 images is that of an example of the state of some primary health care centre's in Nigeria.

lol in the next 2 years it will get worse.

Sobalim:
Too bad. May his soul rest in peace. Tinubu sit up and do something or forget 2027

lol Tinubu will win 2027 bro
Accept it. As for banditry it will soon be trashed out by the Nigerian military.
May the Soul of My brother Rest in peace.

Quite commendable but also start the paying the minimum wage requirement, pay pensioners their pensions and gratuity, Start renovations abi reconstruction of Amachara Hospital, Stop the witch hunting of political opponents and supporters, ease civil service work in the state and above all stop random deductions from the salaries of your people.
Long live the Governor.
Long live Abia State.
Long live Nigeria.
