Americans fly to Turkey for $3,000 dental implants that cost $40,000 in Manhattan. They drive to Tijuana for $800 MRIs priced at $12,000 in San Diego (literally 15 minutes north). Medical tourism revenue hit $100 billion globally in 2023 while US healthcare spending broke $4.5 trillion. The market speaks louder than any policy wonk ever could. When you can get the same cardiac surgery in Bangkok for $15,000 that costs $200,000 in Boston—using the same equipment, often better facilities, and surgeons trained at Johns Hopkins—the pricing isn't reflecting scarcity or quality. It's reflecting capture. Insurance companies created this beautiful racket where they negotiate "discounts" off artificially inflated prices, hospitals play along because the government backstops the whole charade through Medicare reimbursements, and pharmaceutical companies... well, they just price whatever the market will bear (which turns out to be everything you own plus your firstborn). Austrian school economists predicted this decades ago. When you remove price signals and direct payment, costs explode. When Americans rediscover actual market prices by flying to Mumbai for heart surgery, suddenly they remember what healthcare actually costs when providers compete for cash-paying customers instead of...

The British built Jos from Anaguta, Afizere and Berom land I keep saying we are lucky in the Middle Belt that these land grabbers are illiterates or we would have suffered! British split Jos into two: Jos Township and Jos Native town but left a section of the bulk of native lands Township was for Europeans & other skilled migrants, while Jos native town was for migrants like Igbo, Yoruba, Hausa etc The third part remained reserved for the indigenes who were majority What is strange in this dynamic is that despite Igbos, Yorubas, the Hausa and Fulani coming around the same time and staying in those residential areas created by the British, only the Hausa and Fulani want to use it as a medium to claim ownership of the lands of the indigenes None of the others are attempting to do such What the British did was to ask the Emir of Bauchi to appoint a Chief Laborer for the Hausa and Fulani labor camp However those settlers eventually tried to elevate a Chief Laborer to have authority beyond the mining camps and to include the indigenes - the British rejected this This is evidenced in 1921, these settlers asked to be placed to rule over the natives in the 1921 Provincial Report and even the British rejected it It shows that they have always been land grabbers. Their descendants are only doing what their ancestors had always tried but failed to do What they won’t tell you is that, the Bulk of the Hausa and Fulani settlers came in the 80s - in a second wave, after the establishment of the University of Jos and settled on University of Jos land illegally, (which is why their primarily settlements are littered around the University of Jos environment Despite them clearly knowing this, many of them claim to be part of the original 2000 initial laborers who came from Bauchi, Kano etc to work as laborers to the British (everyone is now a laborer - because they want to grab lands) The Plateau people have been peaceful and have always handled their expansionism peacefully In 1987, the tensions grew sharper in 1987, when Alhaji Saleh Hassan, a well-known Hausa politician, openly called on Hausa and Fulani youth (who call themselves Jasawa) to “recover” the Jos chieftaincy as their rightful inheritance. That debate of wanting to rule the natives was reignited In 1991, the settlers wrote Ibrahim Babangida (a self professed Hausa man whose father migrated from Sokoto in his recent biography) to create a local government specifically for them Ibrahim Babangida created Jos North Local Government Area, drawing boundaries that favored Hausa settlements. For the indigenous groups, this looked like a deliberate attempt to hand the political heart of Jos to the settlers. Matters escalated in April 1994, when the military administrator of Plateau State Col Muhammed Mana imposed Alhaji Aminu Mato a Hausa, as caretaker chairman of Jos North. Indigenous groups protested, and the appointment was suspended, but soon after, Jasawa youths launched riots The Jasawa were hurt and decided to take the law into their own hands a few days later as they went on a rampage, killing, maiming, burning, looting, and causing unquantified havoc. From that moment, Jos North became the flashpoint of recurring violence. The cycle of conflict did not stop. In 1996, violence flared again near Jos Central Mosque after the killing of Azi Chai, a young Afizere man, during an election dispute by Hausa settlers. The next big riot followed in 1998 when Mukhtar Muhammad, another politician, identified as Hausa but admitted to be Kanuri at the commission of inquiry, was imposed again as chairman of Jos North but forced to step down after allegations of falsified credentials. Yet in August 2001, he resurfaced again as Poverty Eradication Coordinator, a highly sensitive and lucrative post. To indigenes, this was a provocative imposition; but to the Hausa community, it was a triumph.

Dear Yoruba Ladies in diaspora, At least 50 social media accounts have been opened in the name of different First class Obas. The major targets are The Ooni of Ife and The Olugbo of Ugbo for obvious reasons. Never believe a King is wooing u unless u see him face to face or ask a relative to visit the palace. Even video calls can be manipulated nowadays too. Never buy expensive gifts or send hard currencies for different rites out of desperation to be a queen. Won fe gba e ni oooo! 😂😂 Many have been scammed but are too ashamed to tell the world. 🦻🦻🦻 @ThinkYoruba_1st @TYF_Europe @TYFNAMERICA @ogunfeminire

@GuyMr10 Yorùbá people are too accommodating. Most of our guests are quick to denigrate us. They are quick to condemn and bash us. While doing this, they forget the bad in their places of origins. Their hatred now push the Yorùbá into unity.

Both Geh Geh and Carter Efe are from Delta State, why haven’t they said anything? 🤔

A busy night for the Nigerian military as coordinated ISWAP attempts on Baga, Buratai, and Maiduguri were all decisively repelled.🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 ​Enemy forces suffered heavy losses, with our troops now in hot pursuit to clear remaining pockets of insurgents. Mopdemall🔥🔥🔥, send those demons back to the hell they came out from🔥🔥🔥

You guys are quiet about success recorded last Night by Nigeria Troops, If ISWAP had taken over any of the Bases it attacked last night, we would have heard you saying all sorts of things about the country and her security Forces.

Many Nigerians debate banditry from a distance. But until you meet it face-to-face on a lonely road, you cannot fully understand the fear it carries. I once ran into bandits on the road to Anka in Zamfara. Around 4pm, at Mayanchi junction, very busy junction, police and military checkpoints not up to 3 mins drive from there, more than fifty armed men blocked the road with their faces wrapped, Carrying weapons I had never seen before in my life. In situations like that we were taught two things: Never panic or look at them in the eyes and Never acknowledge them as bandits. So I parked my car calmly, greeted them politely and asked how work was going — pretending they were security agents.(this was very important then) None of them answered me. They inspected my car, then silently signaled me to go. I drove away slowly, but my whole body was shaking. God saved me, for whatever reason, I really don’t know but I came out untouched. Some of the realities of insecurity in Nigeria are difficult to explain to people who have never seen it up close.

So far I've found 3 YouTubers actively touring SW Nigeria showing raw stagnation: Ebunoluwa, a girl who likes touring islands and riverine communities. Olaoluwa ojeleye who tours Osun exclusively. And one funny dude from Ikorodu who starts his all videos with "Hola amigos"

Two broken people don’t make a whole. They just bleed on each other. READ MORE: bit.ly/4b4IIex

His strong belief in the power of education, the necessity of good governance, and the dignity of every Nigerian has remained the principles and guiding light for leaders and citizens alike His legacies will continue to live on in many generations to come🕊️🤍

@mumire1intown When an ethnicity accommodate other so well, the visitors would become so comfortable and start denigrating their host. Meanwhile, the guest's home is not better. They'll start comparison complex.

Apart from Yoruba distance cousins which are Nupe, Edo and some part of Delta i think there's a Yoruba hate true true and this is a based on my experience. Even as at today a Bayelsa woman my friend and I had Ajo issue with today was just say "Yoruba people Yoruba people go and ask about me i be Bayesla. Something that has nothing to do with tribe. Just a mer misunderstanding of Date o. I told her if she hate Yoruba that much she should go back to Bayesla. Mind you she's 60

An Assistant Superintendent of Police, Aondoaver Asom, attached to Ops Zenda Joint Task Force (JTF), was traveling to resume duties with Operations Zenda JTF when armed robbers ambushed the passenger vehicle he was in. He gallantly foiled the vicious attack, shooting three robbers dead in Benue. This man’s sacrifices must not be forgotten. The family he left behind must be taken care of. I am making a passionate appeal to the Ag. IGP, @TunjiDisu1, and the NSA, @NuhuRibadu, to not only honor his memory but also take care of his immediate family. I am also calling on Nigerians to please help his family.

@use_inviteam @imakun122 I agree, but we need to understand the new realities... Realities like: theft, and other crimes. Things are very different from what they used to be then.

@imakun122 And now, I hope they will not lock the place after 9pm. They needs to stop locking Mosjid just after last compulsory prayer of the day, and take the key away...

An historical Masjid built by a Christian in Osogbo at Oja Oba at the back of Local herbs market very closed to central mosque Oja Oba Osogbo. The Christian said: "Anytime my dad bullied my mum everybody will be sent out and no one will give us shelter but the Mosque" . Me and my mum slept in the Mosque several times till day break. It's a payback time to turned the Mosque to modern one. Maa Shaa Allah ❣️
