Dietician who bluffed her way into senior NHS job is struck off after colleagues discovered she didn't know where the intestines were, what a gallbladder did or how to calculate BMI

A dietician who bluffed her way into a senior NHS job by exaggerating her experience has been struck off after colleagues found she did not know 'basic anatomy' and could have put patients at risk.

Ifenyinwa Chizube Ndulue-Nonso was hired as a dietician at Manchester Royal Infirmary in 2024.

Having moved from Nigeria, she claimed to have experience working with a range of different health problems and nutrition-related diseases as well as working with people with eating disorders and cancer.

However within days of beginning her role, colleagues quickly discovered worrying gaps in her knowledge and inconsistencies with her application.

They found she could barely answer questions about dietetics, struggled to calculate BMI and had only a 'basic understanding of human anatomy'- even mixing up the small and large intestine.

Mrs Ndulue-Nonso also could not identify a feeding tube, explain what coeliac disease was and believed radiology was used to treat heart failure.

Concerned by her lack of knowledge, the Trust launched an investigation and suspended her within weeks, fearing she was unsafe to practice.

At a disciplinary hearing, the Trust found her guilty of gross misconduct. She was sacked and her appeal failed.

A dietician who bluffed her way into a senior NHS job by exaggerating her experience has been struck off after colleagues found she did not know 'basic anatomy' and could have put patients at risk

A Health and Care Professions Tribunal Service (HCPTS) hearing found that she deliberately lied on her application form and during her interview, and was not qualified for her role.

Mrs Ndulue-Nonso 'minimised' concerns raised, admitting she had overstated her knowledge and experience 'a bit', putting it down to cultural differences.

But the panel found her dishonesty was premeditated and deliberate, putting patients at risk by misrepresenting her knowledge and experience to 'benefit her personally'.

They said she had 'much to gain personally from securing employment in the UK, including the right to reside here with her family'.

The only reason no one was harmed was because of the precautions taken by her supervisors, who did not allow her to be patient-facing, the panel said.

The panel was told that Mrs Ndulue-Nonso applied for a Band 6 Rotational Dietitian role at the trust in August or September 2023. She was the only person interviewed for the role.

In her interview, she was assessed as having suitable skills and knowledge, scoring 28 out of 45 points.

The Trust received satisfactory references about her previous roles, and she began work on 19 February 2024, having moved from Nigeria to the UK.

Two weeks later on February 28, her line manager, Curtis Roberts, returned from annual leave and met Mrs Ndulue-Nonso.

He immediately discovered that her descriptions of her previous role were inconsistent with what she had described in her application form.

Her colleague Lorna Haywood, who was the other Band 7 dietician in the team, had already started a supervision log after becoming concerned about her lack of knowledge.

Shockwaves across construction sector as cement sells between N11,500 and N15,000 per bag

•Cement price increases by 30%, steel 20%, sharp sand 25%

•Developers call for stakeholders’ engagement

The escalating increase in the prices of cement has sent shockwaves to operators in the housing/construction sector, leading to delays and abandonment of projects.

•Cement price increases by 30%, steel 20%, sharp sand 25%

•Developers call for stakeholders’ engagement

Depending on the location, a 50- kilogramme(kg) bag of cement, which cost N7,500 in the last quarter of 2025, is now goes for between N11,500 and N15,000 in the market.

This development is coming at a time cement manufacturers recorded a combined profit of N1.64 trillion for the 2025 financial year.

Decrying the situation, real estate developers called the government to prevail over excessive increase in the prices of cement and other critical building materials

They pointed out that cement prices rose by over 30 percent in the past quarter, while steel prices shot up 20 per cent, and sharp sand prices jumped by 25 percent, adding that wood and granite prices have also increased, albeit at a slower pace.

The hikes, they noted, were driven by global market trends, logistics challenges, and local demand, adding that they have been facing serious financial pressures.

They warned against the implications on ongoing and future housing projects.

In what they described as “a troubling increase in the prices of essential building materials” the President of the Real Estate Developers Association of Nigeria (REDAN), Oba Akintoye Adeoye and Director, Centre for Housing and Environmental Sustainability, University of Lagos, Professor Olugbega Nubi, called on the Federal Ministry of Housing and Urban Development and other relevant government institutions to urgently engage stakeholders in the building materials value chain with the aim of stabilizing the prices of cement and other essential construction materials.

“We also appeal to cement manufacturers and other industry players to work collaboratively with government and stakeholders in order to ensure that the housing sector remains stable and capable of delivering affordable homes to Nigerians,” the duo said.

According to Oba Adeoye, escalating cement prices threatened affordable housing delivery, adding that the situation has become worrisome, considering the fact that Nigeria is already confronted with a significant housing deficit.

Out that from the available data and market observations, he said that the price of a 50kg bag of cement, which sold for about N7,500 in the last quarter of 2025, rose to between N9,000 and N10,000 at the beginning of 2026.

Unfortunately, he said the price has continued to climb and is now selling between N11,500 and N15,000 in several parts of the country.

The sharp increase within such a short period, Oba Adeoye said has placed enormous pressure on developers and investors in the housing sector.

“Cement remains one of the most critical inputs in construction, accounting for a significant proportion of the overall cost of building houses. When the price of cement rises, the entire cost structure of housing development is affected,” he said.

In addition to cement, he noted that the cost of other construction inputs, such as iron rods and sand has also increased considerably.

“The combined effect of these rising costs is that developers are now facing serious financial pressures, which are already leading to delays in project delivery, scaling down of housing developments, and in some cases the suspension or abandonment of projects.

“This situation is particularly worrisome when we consider the fact that Nigeria is already confronted with a significant housing deficit.

“Any development that further increases the cost of building houses will ultimately make homeownership even more difficult for millions of Nigerians,” REDAN president said.

Professor Nubi pointed out that building and construction sector is a vital component of Nigeria’s economy, contributing significantly to GDP growth and employment.

“Last year, it surpassed the oil sector for the first time, marking a major milestone. This growth is crucial as we navigate global uncertainties. We cannot afford to lose this momentum,” he said.

The recent surge in cement prices, he said has sent shockwaves through Nigeria’s construction sector, pointing out that as a key input, cement’s price increase has far-reaching implications for construction costs, projects and stakeholders.

“But cement isn’t the only material affected, steel, wood, granite, and sharp sand have also seen significant price increases, exacerbating the challenge.,” he said.

He warned against persistent increases in the cost of building materials , saying it could create unintended consequences within the construction industry.

Nubi reeled out the impact of higher material costs to include escalated project costs, potentially leading to project delays or cancellations; deepen housing affordability crisis as cost burden is passed to consumers.

“Contractors face squeezed margins, potentially affecting quality and timelines.

The impact is evident in housing and rent brices across major cities, “ Nubi said

When costs rise beyond manageable levels, REDAN president said there is always the risk that some individuals may resort to the use of substandard materials in an attempt to cut costs, which can ultimately compromise the quality and safety of buildings.

“We felt it necessary to address the nation on a matter that is rapidly becoming a major challenge to housing delivery and infrastructure development in Nigeria — the escalating cost of cement and other critical building materials.

“Over the past few months, the real estate and construction sectors have witnessed a troubling increase in the prices of essential building materials, particularly cement. As stakeholders who are directly involved in housing development across the country, our members are increasingly concerned about the implications of this development on ongoing and future housing projects,” REDAN president said.

“At REDAN, we remain fully committed to supporting government initiatives aimed at addressing the housing deficit and expanding access to decent and affordable housing across the country. However, achieving this objective will require a stable and predictable environment, particularly in the pricing of critical building materials like cement and iron rods.

“We believe that through constructive dialogue, policy support, and cooperation among stakeholders, practical solutions can be found to address this challenge and safeguard the future of housing development in Nigeria,” the REDAN boss said

Nigerian oil magnate Muhammadu Indimi ordered to pay daughters $43.51 million in dividend feud

Twin sisters Ameena and Zara Indimi have won a $43.51 million court ruling against their father after a long-running fight over unpaid dividends, a decision that has now pushed one of Nigeria’s most influential business families into the spotlight.

The Africa Report reports that a Federal High Court ordered Oriental Energy to pay the full amount to the pair, marking a major setback for billionaire oil magnate Mohammed Indimi and escalating a feud that has been simmering for years behind closed doors.

The dispute began when the twins said they were shut out of a huge dividend pool reportedly worth around $435 million. They argued they jointly held 10% of the company, giving them a right to part of the payout.

But they claimed their shareholdings were cut sharply without their agreement. Court filings show they believed those changes blocked them from receiving millions linked to the firm’s earnings from its offshore operations.


A private battle becomes very public

The court victory has turned what was once an internal family argument into public news, partly because of the sums involved and partly because of the businessman at the centre of it.

His company has long been a major private player in the country’s oil sector, and the family has often tried to keep business matters out of the public eye. But the ruling has deepened interest in the story and raised wider questions about how family-run firms manage ownership and decision-making.

Reports also suggest the disagreement has spread beyond the twins. Other relatives are said to be involved in ongoing arguments about which holdings belong to whom, and whether earlier payments to family members should count as gifts or buyouts that settle dividend rights.

A rare look inside a private empire
The case has shone a light on how little is publicly known about private companies in the country, where ownership decisions are often taken quietly and financial details are rarely shared.

The exact calculation behind the $43.51 million figure and the timeline for payment has not been fully detailed. But the order shows the judge found that money was owed, giving the sisters a stronger position as the dispute enters its next stage.

An appeal or enforcement fight could run for months. But the ruling has already changed the balance inside the family and inside the company. A disagreement that began over missing dividends has now become one of the most closely watched business disputes in the country.

Fasting is a practice commanded by God for all believers, including Jews and Christians, to purify the soul and grow spiritually. The idea that you're fasting for "Saudi Arabian's god" is a misunderstanding. In Islam, Muslims fast for Allah (God), not for any country or nation.

The fast during Ramadan is about obeying God's command to grow closer to Him, not worshipping a specific place. Jews and Christians also fast, but each for their own beliefs. So, fasting is about submitting to the One God, not a particular country's god.

Oba Kadir Adebara of Jebba has not received a kobo as salary from the Kwara State Government since 2003.

His crime? Refusing to pay homage to a Fulani emir in Ilorin and insisting he is a Yoruba Oba, not an emir.

Jebba was once part of the Old Oyo Empire. Today, its traditional ruler remains defiant but abandoned.

Many now call on the Alaafin to visit and restore the dignity of a Yoruba throne the system tried to silence

This is the reality EVERYWHERE in the world.
The Taliban were just FOOLISH enough to codify it into their laws.

EVERYBODY knows that people get punished DIFFERENTLY for the same crime based on their status, wealth and, in some countries, RACE.

For instance, Robert Morris an American MegaChurch Pastor was recently CONVICTED of raping a MINOR and his punishment was JUST 6 months in jail. Most likely, soft white collar jail too.

If a poor man or black commits the same crime, his punishment would be FAR GREATER than that.

So before ANYBODY castigates the Taliban, let them address their own country's LOPSIDED INjustice system.

The code also significantly expands the use of corporal punishment, including flogging, and introduces vaguely defined offences such as "dancing" or being present in "gatherings of corruption", giving judges sweeping discretion to detain and punish people for ordinary cultural or social activities.

Patrick Dorgu Suffers Major Injury Blow as Man Utd Star Ruled Out for Months

Manchester United have been dealt a major injury blow as Patrick Dorgu is set to be ruled out for months.

Man United have secured back-to-back wins under Michael Carrick following their big win over Arsenal last Sunday.

Carrick's team beat Mikel Arteta's side 3-2 at the Emirates, with Matheus Cunha scoring the game's winner three minutes from time.

Dorgu, who has starred higher up the field, had put the visitors ahead just five minutes after the break following his stunning long-range strike.

But he was forced off after sustaining an injury while chasing a long ball in the second-half.

Speaking in his post-match press conference, Carrick called it 'a little bit of cramp'.

Two days removed from Man United's famous win over Arsenal, a report from The Athletic claims Dorgu is set to miss around 10 weeks with a hamstring injury.

Carrick has played Dorgu from the start in both of his games in charge.

The Dane, 21, has been deployed as a left winger in a 4-2-3-1 formation.

He scored in Man United's 2-0 victory over Manchester City earlier this month and bagged a goal against Arsenal.

Dorgu joins Matthijs de Ligt on the sidelines, with the Dutch centre-back missing the last 11 games with a back issue sustained last month.

Dorgu is set to miss up to eight league fixtures following his hamstring injury, including big clashes against Tottenham, Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Not to mention trips to West Ham United and Everton.

Man United vs. Fulham - Feb 1

West Ham United vs. Man United - Feb 10

Everton vs. Man United - Feb 23

Man United vs. Crystal Palace - March 1

Newcastle United vs. Man United - March 4

Man United vs. Aston Villa - March 14

Bournemouth vs. Man United - March 20

Carrick will be hoping to have Dorgu back and available for their league fixture against Leeds United on April 11.

This season, Dorgu has made 22 appearances in the league, scoring three goals and recording three assists.

Churches Destroyed — 19,100

Over 16 years, the destruction of churches in Nigeria hit a consistent triple-digit average.

Every month, Nigeria lost nearly 100 churches.

That is the equivalent of deleting 25 places of worship every single week, non-stop, for 16 years straight.
