Planting Yoruba interests in political parties.
Achieving the interests regardless of party in or out of power.
Cohesion among Yoruba towns and states.
Regionalism.

[size=14pt] ‘Healthcare in Nigeria’ll be more efficient if LGs are directly empowered’[/size] Dr Kinsley Akinroye, is the Executive Director, Nigerian Heart Foundation and Honorary Consul, Finland. In this session, he intimates the need for the Federal government of Nigeria to increase effort in healthcare system, while also advising that primary healthcare system in the country will be more efficient if local governments are directly empowered to run an efficient system and the Federal government runs the tertiary health care services effectively and efficiently. Akinroye also spoke on the challenging role as the Nigerian Heart Foundation Director and Honorary Consul, Finland, among other issues. Excerpt:
By Vera Samuel Anyagafu
THE challenging but interesting role I have being involved in promoting relationship between Finland and Nigeria for quite a long time through personal interaction and as a founding member of Nigerian-Finnish Association, and following my post graduate studies in Finland, I continue to have interactions with Finland. I was nominated as the first Honorary Consul of Finland in Nigeria in 2012, by the Embassy of Finland. Kinsley Akinroye
Kinsley Akinroye
This has being a very interesting and challenging role especially building relationship between a country of five million people and a country of 160 million people. Over the last few years there has being progress in the areas of telecommunication, environmental, meteorological and infrastructural technology, power, education, and health.
Lesson for Nigerian The lesson for Nigeria is to have an effective publicly funded universal health coverage supported by the National Health Act. The primary health care system will be more efficient if local governments are directly empowered to providing the health care services. At secondary health care system the state government should be directly empowered to run an efficient system while the federal government should be seen to run the tertiary health care services effectively and efficiently.
Competitive edge I look forward to this unique event to showcase the experience of Finland and Finnish expertise, innovations and health devices that can promote health and well-being in Nigeria. Finland is one of the countries with long life expectancy in the world, comparable to most sub-Saharan African countries including Nigeria, with a gap of almost about twenty years. The sharing of knowledge and experience on Finnish lifestyles would throw light on bridging the gap. Finnish companies working in the areas of health are expected to be present and will also provide a forum for companies, experts, decision makers, business leaders, and government officials to network and explore areas of bilateral cooperation. Bi-lateral co-operation and expectations I am aware that the Finnish healthcare and services are of high quality at the level of primary, secondary and tertiary health systems. There are companies involved in the areas of diagnostics for heart diseases, cancer, diabetes which are highly efficient, simple and innovative to use.
Universal health care
The Finnish health care system is excellent and operates a publicly funded universal health care. In addition, Municipalities (Local Governments) are responsible for providing health care services e.g running local health care centers while there are also regional university teaching hospitals, which are predominantly financed with tax money in addition to small affordable user fees. The health policy in Finland works effectively and it is decided at the national level with the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare. Health research is given a high priority in Finland.
Characterizing Finns, or Finnish society Though, Finland is regarded as a distant, cold and mystical country inhabited by about five million people. It is a country endowed with nature, beautiful forest, sea, islands, and lakes. This is a country that has priority for education, equality of the sexes and fair distribution of wealth.
In Finnish society, one cannot but notice the role of women in public and private institutions especially at the highest level. The Finnish are very proud about the sauna which is very close to the heart of every family. Though, Finland and Nigeria started relationship in 1963, when Finland established its first sub-Saharan Embassy in Lagos, there is a lot of potentials for the relationship to grow with mutual benefits to both countries. Answers to 80% of Nigeria's problem lies within regionalism. I wonder why these Northerners can't live withint he limitations of their region. |

You our people abroad can say you are not interested in naija politics but we back here don't have a choice..
We pay hundreds of thousands to educate primary school kids, still pay home lesson teachers a couple of tens of thousands to fill any gap that may exist...
We have constituted ourselves into counties, we provide our own electricity, water, security, fix bad pportions of roads ourselves & you think we'd like it to be so forever...
My last baby we had to do blue pali anchor baby in case the country is still in the ditch & we are too groowwn to contribute muchn he will be a citizen of a place that things of welfare, grants etc...
We don't have a choice here, I don't know how to braid hair & can't start RN degree....  That Firefire guy behaves too much like a flattie for my comfort. Let's remember that Yoruba is a universal language, not everyone who speaks it understands the Yoruba struggle and want the Yoruba interest. I understand why you're into politics, but I'm wondering if there's a way to narrow down that interest to a regional level. It would do us good to not wait for federal government to help and to put the heat on Yoruba politicians when need be. Is the bold an insult to me?  |

I was in Oyo for about a week, Ibadan for about two days which was nice 
No okadas in Abuja yaass! That I saw anyway. Plenty in Ibadan, mehn see how I was fearing for my life as I was walking at night, okadas flying from every corner lol
I ate A LOT too...  I'm a laid back person who enjoys her quietness. Lagos is not "happening" for me, plus I grew up near Miami beaches, that was enough "happenings". Ibadan...... *sign*. Let's not go there. |

She told me that her people don't trust them because they're dubious when they do business in burkina-faso. I was surprised that she nailed them down to tribe name. The reason why I'd support breaking this country up is because I want them to stop spoiling the Nigerian name. |

How did you find Ekiti when you went? Assuming you visited Assuming I visit? The whole point of going to Nigeria, for me, is to go to Ekiti. Well I loved it. It's "earthy" like you said, clean, green boisterous. People were generally nice/kind. I visited several cities/villages in Ekiti. I was happy with the development [even tho it was in a slow pace] Fayemi was achieving in several parts......roads/bridges/fixing our dam.
