A friend took his wife to General Hospital Ikorodu, Lagos for child birth. He was given a prescription to buy 2 sets of Personal Protective Equipment for health workers, he spent 6k. Why should patients bear this burden? What happens to those who can't afford 6k?

I want to thank you most sincerely for sharing sensible thoughts on topical issues especially as it relates to the justice system. The judiciary is one arm that acts as a conscience of the nation. Your sensible opinions & advocacy inspire hope!
With due respect to my senior colleague & Minister of Health, the threat to sack Doctors who were forced to withdraw their services to save their own lives was absolutely irresponsible. You wear N95 to address the media threatening 2 sack frontline Covid-19 fighters who had none?

Those who use the failed Abia State to define leadership quality in the East need to see the excellent infrastructural development in Abakaliki (Ebonyi), Enugu and many other towns in the South East.
No doubt, the Abia situation is a big shame and inexplicable

Check out the pictures below.
Left - original presidential election results sheet I snapped at my PU.
Compare with the result on INEC Irev portal. My data was used for BIVAS Upload. INEC, why did you do this to us? Shame on You! 😞
Gov. Umahi has made a touch of excellence on roads infrastructure, beautification of Abakaliki and some other towns in Ebonyi State. He's building an airport and stadium.
However, Healthcare & Education sectors deserve similar attention with focus on ACCESS TO QUALITY SERVICES!

Nwanne stop pushing this narrative. Many Yoruba people stood & are still standing strongly with PO and even Atiku. Stereotyping an entire tribe because of the misdeeds of BAT supporters is very unfair. Every tribe has its own share of bigots. United we stand, for a new Nigeria.
Loving your hometown, tribe, ethnicity, state, region, country, culture or race is not and should not be mutually exclusive to loving or respecting other people's own.
Ignore posts from the jingoistic folks who fan embers of h8 & division for selfish reasons. Let LOVE lead!
