When they will be disturbing you whenever they hear you are traveling. Bring snails, bring pepper, bring garri, bring dry bush meat etc.

It's better to turn a deaf ear to such requests than to end up embarrassed like this o.

I like the summary.

Thank you, sir🙂😁

Summary:

Nigerian doctor Amos Akinbiyi is suing the Saskatchewan Health Authority for alleged racism and retaliation. His case follows complaints from other non-white doctors about discrimination at Regina General Hospital. The province is reviewing the hospital’s workplace culture, with findings expected in 2025.

CBC News:

A Regina doctor is taking the Saskatchewan Health Authority to court, accusing the organization and some of its employees of intimidation, breach of contract, conspiracy and defamation.

Dr. Amos Akinbiyi said he believes there has been a retaliation campaign against him motivated by racism.

"The treatment that I've had with the SHA only made me realize that I don't belong," Akinbiyi said.

The allegations in his lawsuit have not been tested in court.

Originally from Nigeria, Akinbiyi was educated and trained in England and Scotland.

He has worked in England, Saudi Arabia, and Newfoundland and Labrador as an obstetrician gynecologist, or ob-gyn, and began working in Saskatchewan in 1996.

Between 1996 and 2021, Akinbiyi trained medical residents to become specialists like him. He said he was happy in the province until 2017.

That's when Akinbiyi says he was forced to save his daughter's life when she began coding, or experiencing a medical emergency, as she gave birth.

Doctors are not supposed to provide medical services to their family members. According to the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan's code of ethics, it is only allowed in emergency situations and when no other physicians are available.

Akinbiyi said other medical professionals were available and on-call when was called to his daughter's bedside.

His lawsuit also states that his actions were a violation of a cultural taboo in Nigeria against a parent viewing their child's exposed body.

"They called me to come and resuscitate my own daughter, and I told them not to [call me]. So what happened was that two hours after she coded again, guess who they called? They called me to come and resuscitate," Akinbiyi said.

Akinbiyi said that after the incident, as he was upset about performing the life-saving procedure, he was told to go home.

"How could I go home? My daughter is in code blue. I mean, that's between life and death," Akinbiyi said.

He filed complaints against the workers at the Regina General Hospital's obstetrics unit and supported his daughter as she went public with her concerns.

Akinbiyi alleges his actions affected his standing with the health authority, and that other officials retaliated against him by filing complaints with the health authority and the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan.

He said the complaints, which include unprofessional conduct, have been without merit.

Two charges filed with the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Saskatchewan have been resolved with an undertaking, where Akinbiyi agreed to undergo education.

The charges were not admitted to or proven, according to the college's disciplinary records. One charge of unprofessional conduct remains pending.

The complaints with the Saskatchewan Health Authority remain unresolved.

Akinbiyi is now suing the health authority and various staff members at the obstetrics unit. It has been an expensive and lengthy process, but Akinbiyi said he's motivated by more than just an effort to clear his name.

"This is not the first time SHA will be doing this to some ethnic doctors, and I feel I'm committed to pursuing this to a conclusive end despite all the financial involvement, despite all the exhaustion, because this is a task for generations to come, not just only for me," Akinbiyi said.

The health authority said in a statement that it will not comment on legal matters before the court, but is committed to delivering high-quality health care across Saskatchewan.

"We are dedicated to maintaining a collegial and collaborative workplace that provides a healthy and positive environment," the health authority wrote in a statement.

In court on Friday, the Saskatchewan Health Authority's lawyers moved to strike its employees from the lawsuit, saying they were acting in their official capacity as health workers. The health authority also moved to strike claims it argued were deficient.

Justice Andrew Davis reserved his decision.
Although Akinbiyi is the only doctor taking part in his lawsuit, he said he is not the only one who has been discriminated against at Regina General Hospital.

The province has launched a review of the workplace culture among doctors at hospitals in Regina after 11 doctors — all trained in Africa or East Asia — reported racism and discrimination from hospital leadership.

In November 2023, the doctors filed a complaint with the Saskatchewan Human Rights Commission, alleging management gave sought-after teaching shifts exclusively to white doctors.

Health Minister Jeremy Cockrill provided few specifics when the province's review was announced, but confirmed there had been allegations of racism.

The review, set to be carried out by two "highly respected, experienced medical leaders" from outside Saskatchewan, is still underway, according to the Ministry of Health.

"That work is expected to be completed in the spring of 2025," the ministry said in a statement.

A traveler passing through O'Hare International Airport was caught in a shocking moment when a customs dog alerted officials to something suspicious in her luggage—only for them to discover meat infested with maggots.

Although the incident occurred on May 30, 2024, an American woman recently reposted the clip on X (formerly Twitter), reigniting online discussions and humorous reactions. The video shows a beagle sniffing out a suitcase, prompting customs agents to inspect the bag. Upon opening it, they found ziplocked bags of meat crawling with live maggots.

A customs officer, seen sorting through two suitcases beside the luggage conveyor belt, reacts in shock as she uncovers the contraband. Multiple bags of meat, along with writhing maggots, are clearly visible.

Briana Mary, who shared the video, claimed the meat was "raw African bushmeat" that had been sitting in the suitcase for over 30 hours following a flight from Africa, with a layover in Amsterdam. She questioned, "How did this make it through two different airports to reach O'Hare?"

In the video’s caption, she wrote: "The hound had alerted to the baggage before it even hit the conveyor belt—it went absolutely nuts. As soon as the luggage hit the belt, the dog started ripping at the plastic wrap."

Following the incident, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) was reportedly contacted. Bushmeat is illegal to bring into the U.S. due to the potential health risks it poses.

In a statement to Newsweek, the CDC explained, "Multiple federal agencies prohibit the importation of bushmeat and other meats. CDC prohibits bushmeat if it appears to be from a CDC-regulated animal (one that can transmit disease to humans) or if it cannot be identified." The agency clarified that, in this case, the meat seemed to come from a non-CDC-regulated animal, so U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) handled the situation.

Bushmeat refers to raw or minimally processed meat from wild animals—such as antelope or primates—found in certain regions of the world. It may carry significant disease risks.

Interestingly, many Americans who saw the video were unfamiliar with the term bushmeat, leading to a mix of amusing and misinformed reactions. Some assumed it exclusively referred to monkey meat, with one user humorously stating, "It's monkey meat." This sparked further debate, as many people wrongly concluded that all Africans consume monkey meat.

This kind of misinformation highlights the importance of awareness when traveling. Africans, particularly Nigerians, must be mindful of what is and isn’t permitted in foreign countries to avoid situations where misleading narratives can arise.

Mikespecialone:
Na wine hook dem so

Lol.

A South African man and his girlfriend have caused a stir online after being caught hiding several bottles of assorted wine inside their underwear.

When apprehended, the woman was asked to remove all the bottles she had concealed in her pants. Shockingly, she kept pulling them out one by one until she had placed six bottles on the ground. She was then asked to step aside while security searched her boyfriend.

Upon searching the man, additional bottles of wine were also recovered.

People online have been left wondering how the woman managed to hide such a large number of bottles and still walk normally.

Funny but not right. And he even recorded it and placed it on the internet. It could cost that lady her job and raise up antiNigerian sentiments in India. He really didn't have to record and post it online. Very foolish

Exactly!

A short video circulating on social media, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), shows a Congolese soldier recording what would be his final moments on the battlefield.

In the footage, he pleads with a friend to take care of his family if he does not survive. He specifically requests that his salary and war bonus be sent to his family, as he fears he will not make it through the battle.

Showing his wounded arm, he reveals that he has been shot and expresses doubt about his chances of survival.

According to reports, he died shortly after recording the video.

Sad

A lady shared her experience of how a restaurant in Lagos gave her a robe to wear before allowing her to enter because they felt her outfit was too revealing.

Do you think it's right for a restaurant or any business owner to do that?

Hm

I see people entering Europe illegally as criminals

Hahaha. Unfortunately, they won't stop

.Japa crew una dey see?

It's about the route they took. Illegality doesn't always end well.

We4all:
This symbolizes the saying: "Get rich or die trying". Why are people very dumb? Very..very..dumb.

It's really heartbreaking.

This heartbreaking moment shows a Nigerian man crying for help after the boat carrying him and others capsized in the Mediterranean.

In the video, the man is seen fidgeting and pleading for help as the boat capsizes. He and other African migrants were attempting to reach Europe, likely through illegal routes, when they became stranded at sea.

Congratulations to the Chess Master Tunde Onakoya, he did it:

Kudos to him.

BREAKING Nigerian Chess Master Tunde Breaks World Record for Longest Chess Marathon


Tunde Onakoya, 29, of Lagos, beat the Guinness record for “longest chess marathon” after soaring past the 56 hours and 9-minute mark around 7:45 p.m. Friday in front of hundreds of supporters.

But the chess master didn’t stop there and continued to cushion the new record late into Friday night, with his sights set on the 60-hour mark.

A Nigerian chess whiz has been playing the game for more than 58 consecutive hours in Times Square to smash a world record — defeating a lineup of skilled players despite a royal lack of sleep.



It’s the greatest event in New York City history, period,” chess coach Russell Makofsky told The Post.

“The world showed up. The story is a global sensation,” said Majofsky, who helped plan the record-setting streak “overnight” as a fundraiser for his organization The Gift of Chess, which donates chess sets around the world


Earlier Friday, Onakoya said he’s been guzzling coffee and refraining from eating to stay alert enough to play more than 197 matches of the mentally taxing game.


I’m exhausted,” he told The Post. “My mind is sharp but my body is tired.”

Onakoya — who wiped the floor with a New York Post reporter in just 12 minutes — said the predawn hours were the most difficult, he said.

“Around 4 a.m. this morning was the hardest struggle, just to stay awake. But I’ve pushed past that hurdle and the rest is just a matter of tenacity,” he said. “I think I can see it through to the very end from here.”



Onakoya said he got off to a rocky start Thursday by accidentally drinking a coffee with milk despite his lactose intolerance, which made him sick.

The player kept himself busy throughout the 58 hours thanks to a sign-up sheet he set up for challengers.

They have included a local pro, a financial industry worker and a chess teacher

Nice, but I know some people won't be so happy about this news, especially those earning in dollars 😁😁😁

Imagine this Chinese streamer earning 18 Million dollars in just 7days, that's so crazy, then imagine if she was a Nigerian.

Nothing is new. I am sure you have seen this video before:

Many people didn't believe me when I said it was far from being over then. During the cross over, the song the band played and danced to, was a clear evidence something was still brewing.

Dey your day, make I dey my dey, make no body worry nobody:
