I think one problem we have in Nigeria is we mix so many things into one conversation and so we get no conclusion after much talk
It is not the responsibility of the Federal government to do many things but they end up doing them because states fail Health care provision in Nigeria should be from Primary Health Centre to Health Centre and then General Hospital
These are state government responsibility
Historically there were specialist referral centres for. Example Igbobi orthopaedic As more states were created political clamour started and we started this issue of Federal Medical Centre
Last time I checked they were 24 Federal Medical Centres
The are acting as General Hospitals because states are failing their. Responsibility
This is because the Federal Ministry of health and its bureaucracy don't want to be killed off and want to keep that budget going
In Reality Federal government should operate high end specialist hospitals like
Eye hospitals, cancer hospitals, organ transplant and we don't need more than 6 in Nigeria
They should be strictly by referral from General Hospital You cannot just walk in by yourself
Not hospitals dealing with General Hospital stuff
Nigerians don't understand Federal Government but I believe we are moving in that direction
Government canot manage doctors effectively from Abuja
Governors are getting a lot of money and need more accountability
i understand u.theres a big collapse from the arms of govt.we won’t even talk about that of LG.i feel they should scrap that one as they are useless.its well
Gajagojo: Again the question was mostly? So most Nigerians get healtcare from Federal Medical centres?
Federal Medical centres combined employ more health workers than state governments combined
Is that your position?
How many federal medical centres are in Nigeria?
Is there one in every local government area?
Is there one in every state?
bro I no no but in my state if ur sickness don critical u will be referred to fmc.my guy his lost his dad cos he was referred to fmc dem reach der them say doctors Dey strike.definitely they will brother hospitals both private.but is our govt supposed to allow striking doctors stay this long?do u know Nigeria is badly in shortage of doctors?
AMINDA: What health allocations are they releasing? Are you even aware that federal health workers have been on strike for months now?
This news article was published on Businessday barely 3 hours ago. 99% of Tinubu's ministers are incompetent, underwhelming and lacklustre. So much for the man that was sold as having the ability to spot talents.
health workers have never been on strike this long since 1960.my man is building coastal highway.maybe na our ghosts go use the road.cos the drug baron wants to kill all of us o
The quiet Isiekwulu village in Ukpo community, Dunukofia Local Government Area of Anambra State, was thrown into grief over the weekend, as a widow and her five children, who lost their lives in a tragic fire incident in Burkina Faso, were laid to rest amid tears, anguish, and disbelief.
Happening exactly two years after the death of the breadwinner and father of the house, the burial ceremony, which held on Friday, consequently marked the end of the family already devastated by loss. Sympathizers, relatives, and well-wishers from within and outside the state thronged the community to witness what many described as one of the most painful funerals the area had seen in recent times.
According to reports, the deceased, Mrs. Uchenna Ngozichukwu Akubue (aged 47) and her five children: Justin Onyinyechukwu (aged 18), Chinenye Joan (aged 16), Chiemerie Victory (aged 16); Victor-Mary Chidike (aged 9), and Chidimma Epiphania (aged 6), died on December 23, 2025, after a candlelight ignited a fire that consumed their residence in Ouagadougou, the capital of Burkina Faso, where the family had lived for years.
The ceremony commenced with a solemn burial service held at St. Simon Catholic Parish, Akaezi-Ukpo, for the repose of their souls, after which they proceeded to the family compound in Isiekwulu village where their remains were interred, in an atmosphere charged with sorrow, considering the family’s painful history.
The husband of the deceased woman, Mr. Innocent Chinedu Akubue, it was gathered, had died just two years earlier in the same Burkina Faso after a brief illness. He was said to be about 50 years old at the time of his death, leaving behind his wife and five young children in the foreign land.
Few years before his death, Innocent was said to have had built a modern one-storey building in his hometown of Isiekwulu village, hoping to provide comfort for his family whenever they returned home from abroad for Christmas celebration. However, sadly, he did not live long enough to enjoy the home, and even more devastatingly, neither did his wife nor children.
With the burial of the widow and her children, the house now stands as the only physical reminder of a family completely wiped out by fate.
Narrating the family’s painful journey, a cousin of the late Innocent, Elder Paul Uche Akubue, described the incident as a devastating blow that defied explanation. He revealed that Innocent was the last surviving child of his parents, having lost his three siblings earlier in life, while their parents had also died years before.
According to him, Innocent initially left Ukpo for Lagos, where he established himself in the motor spare parts business, before later relocating to Burkina Faso. He was described as a devout Catholic who got married in Burkina Faso to Uchenna, also an indigene of Ukpo, and together they raised all five of their children in the West African country.
The cousin further disclosed that the tragedy almost ended in a mass burial abroad, as the Burkina Faso government offered and proposed to bury the six victims there. However, Igbo indigenes resident in Burkina Faso, Mali, Niger, and Togo reportedly rejected the plan and insisted that the bodies must be returned home.
Through collective effort and sacrifice, the Igbo community in those countries reportedly raised a total of ₦33.8 million to repatriate the remains to Nigeria for burial. Elder Paul described their support as overwhelming, noting that without their intervention, the family would have been denied the dignity of a home burial.
Despite the crushing loss, he expressed faith in God, stating that the tragedy, painful as it is, would not weaken his belief. He also noted that while human understanding fails in moments like this, he has chosen to accept the situation as part of divine mystery beyond human control.
When asked how it happened, Elder Paul recounted how he first received a distress call from Burkina Faso on December 23rd on the day of the incident, informing him that his cousin’s house had been engulfed in flames. According to him, later that same day, he received confirmation that the widow and all five children had perished in the inferno, a development that plunged the entire family into shock and grief.
On her own side, the late woman's younger sister, Mrs. Onyinyechukwu Nwafor, was visibly broken during the burial. Struggling to speak, she lamented that her elder sister and all her children were gone, leaving behind an empty home now occupied only by a security guard and caretaker.
something Dey their house..or maybe someone for their family money na water.Igbo ppl no join Abeg

Nicoddemus: Agreement is agreement. Fabura should resign if he can't stick to agreement that made him governor in the first place. Someone singlehanded made you what you are, without which you would have never become the governor, yet you turn around to rebel and put up a fight. I hate ingrates

Let Wike answer for his crimes before you talk of punishing Navy Lt. Yerima.
If e easy, go collect NDA form..

Babatunjo: So I was at dinner with a friend this week. Guy has been married for about 8 years now... married almost immediately after uni. Tall guy, always had fine girlfriends back in school. You’d think na him go dey hype marriage pass.
Out of nowhere, he just sighed and said he regrets marrying… apart from the kids. His advice shocked me.
He said if he were single again in 2026 Nigeria, he would never marry. That I should just find a woman, have between 1 to 3 kids if I want, make her comfortable, take care of my responsibilities... but avoid marriage completely.
I laughed it off, but then it hit me: My boss had told me something very similar some time ago. Then I remembered a former neighbour... fine wife, two kids, lovely family pictures on social media... he also warned me not to rush into marriage.
These are not bitter, broke men o. These are men society would call “successful”.
So now I’m asking myself (and una): Wetin really dey happen? Is marriage quietly becoming something different from what we were sold?
all of us when don marry Dey regret.its a safety net for ladies.as a guy man now just have kids from one woman and rest
Hismajesty44: You guys should continue supporting these nightmares of politicians at your own perils, hope you realise they don't care how you faces hell of an economy they created to make your life miserable. Tinubu, Wike, Fubara and co feeds effortlessly from the national treasury, making life unbearable for ordinary Nigerians.
betrayals are not only found in politics.church,family,frienship it’s everywhere and it has never been a good thing.i find it abysmally absurd when somebody supprt betrayals.Why agree to an agreement u don’t intend to keep.wike may be a difficult person but Fubara is not a good man.buy me a bottle of beer and I will be loyal forever.
omoredia: Abike is proof that a lot of Nigerians really lack shame and character.
especially those that can’t survive without politics and those that want so much material things.some of us when Dey ok with our corola and small life fit change am for anybody.
