@toluogunlesi @NigeriaGov @akinalabi @fccpcnigeria A government agency called MDCN (Medical and Dental Council of Nigeria) only authorized to collect practicing fees by law is collecting fees called “building levy” from Nigerian doctors.

Forget war. In advance and quick attack drills as secondary school students in AFMS. You drink brown water, you eat raw potatoes from farms along your route. Yes, I lived it. Saw it live. Vilagges you pass through that you get clean water are the nicer ones. You share water sources with cattle. And it was not war. Just "play play drills for secondary school military boys". May we not see war!!!
🫡🤔 This is not news. This is normal.
In jungle warfare, you eat what you can find. You drink what you can get. You sleep where you can. You do not complain. You do not ask for five-star meals. You survive.
Hollywood movies have made some of you think warfare is a bed of roses. You see soldiers in movies with clean uniforms, hot meals, and perfect teeth. You think that is what war looks like. It is not. War is mud. War is hunger. War is drinking dirty water because there is nothing else. War is eating dry bread in the bush while the enemy is watching.
That bread? It might be the only food they have seen in days. That water? It might be the only water within miles. And they are drinking it because the mission does not pause for comfort.
Let me tell you something as a soldier: Every soldier who has served in the bush knows this reality. You eat cold rice. You drink from streams. You sleep in the rain. You wake up with mosquitoes. And you keep moving.
So before you judge, ask yourself: Could you do it? Could you leave your home, your family, your comfort, and eat bread with dirty water in the jungle so that others can sleep in peace?
They are not suffering for nothing. They are suffering for you.
This is the price of peace. And they are paying it. 🫡🇳🇬🪖
Arsenal weren’t bad. They lost to a better and world class well coached team. Tonight proves it over again!

When PMB removed subsidy in 2022 and the NLC forced him to reverse the removal, some people had a lot to say. Listen to the opening lines from Dr. Abati and Prof. Pat Utomi.
So I ask, who is now playing politics with subsidy according to Prof. Pat Utomi?

When Issues like this Come up, I see People very eager to Criticize the Doctors so I will Share Personal Experience as an Internationally Trained Medical Doctor that came back home to Practice solely because of My Love for the Country-Nigeria.
After the hurdles of Passing MDCN that decided that only 30% of Us international trained doctors is Worthy of Passing (Heartless Nigerian Victimization Mindset), I got to work in a Government hospital.
In an Emergency Department in a government hospital all I had to work with was my hands, a thermometer and a BP Monitoring machine that I go to the ward to borrow. (You don’t know how insane this is)
I’m not even talking about the fact that I’m sometimes on call 5 days in a week. That’s amounting to working 136 hours in a week.
I had moments that traumatized me, times I know what to do but lack basic equipments to do it with.
Was it the day that man was brought in Unconscious. I was about handing over. I went on my knees and did CPR, doing mouth to mouth with that man for almost 15 minutes before he regained consciousness. The joy in the families eyes. Got him admitted, just for me to come back to the emergency department in the evening, asked about him and heard he had died - the Oxygen was leaking, and they could not celotape it- A government hospital!
Or is it the day that 16 years sickle cell patient old only child of that woman- the way I was running around from ward to ward in the middle of the night looking for a department with Oxygen…
So when you come to emergency and we send you back, it’s because we can’t help. We know what to do but we don’t have what to do it with. Keeping you with us for an extra one minute can speed up your death so we refer you immediately.
Or how will you come with a gun wound at night to an hospital we don’t even have light and we are attending to patients in the ward with torchlight from our phones.
But your leaders fly to places where death are not just diagnosed with opening of eyes…
Then you say “Why do Doctors Strike?”
We strike because we deserve better than the way we are treated by the government.
We Strike because OF YOU. We need the government to listen to us and equip the hospital. Why should I be kissing that man over and over when a small equipment can do that. Why should lives be lost due to avoidable occurrences.
Even if Some Doctors are not sitting up enough (a Working government will create policies and stand on their feet to ensure it’s actualized and lead to better health for the people. Ask Peter Obi)
If there’s anyone that passed primaries in Community Medicine in the last few months and wants placement for residency, DM me. ASAP.
@flyairpeace After about 12 hours, Thank you so much for such a “fantastic” service. The delay was well appreciated. NEVER AGAIN!

I didn’t like the loss but I like the manner of the beating Brighton gave the spineless Arteta team today. Big wake up call that they have gotten too comfortable. #BHAARS

There’s traffic in Ogun State and SanwoOlu is the one receiving dragging.
Nigerians and their bias.
Kudos to Kayode Okikiola for that investigatory documentary.
The best saver is not necessarily the best manager.
Saver? Risk taker? Audacious fellow? Choose one.
Sad that many Nigerians haven’t been able to separate a political party from a person. You can support a person and not his party. The party is only a vehicle. I wonder why people don’t see this. Signs that many are literate but NOT educated.
You have a 40 bed space available in an emergency and they are completely filled with very ill patients. They bring 20 more? What do you do? Sometimes HWs triage to admit the very sick ones out of the 20 extra on couches outside the ER and then people take photo for bad PR.
They ask them to go somewhere else. The HWs get beaten.
In a city like Lagos, a TH cannot have a 40 bed space and we cannot have 4 tertiary level healthcare facilities.
Who will sell their land to the Government to expand? Will people go to Epe/Badagry if govt wants to expand

There are so many things to unpack from Lasisi’s video. But there are so many things that people don’t also understand about how healthcare is.
To build emergency care in a city like Lagos needs deliberate infrastructure commitment from roads to easy evac and digitalization.
Lagos takes the burden of the entire country and that fact needs to be stated. Lagos takes other HWs that other states throw away. But there are many intersectoral collaboration that needs to happen.
