Teargas in a Hospital, a Thoughtless Act. I have just read the recent troubling reports of how the operatives of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) allegedly stormed the University of Uyo Teaching Hospital in a bid to arrest Professor Eyo Ekpe, a professor of cardiothoracic surgery and deputy chairman of the hospital’s medical advisory committee. While I understand and respect the fact that the EFCC, and indeed, all other government agencies have their constitutional rights to do their jobs without interference, the manner in which some of these jobs are carried out is often deeply troubling. Reportedly, the EFCC operatives who stormed the hospital shot some teargas canisters within the hospital premises which sent medical staff and patients running for safety. This thoughtless act greatly compromised the general safety in the hospital environment and further jeopardised the health of the medical personnel and the sick people in the hospital. I have always said that the most fundamental intangible asset upon which any nation functions effectively is the rule of law and order. The disorderliness allegedly demonstrated by the EFCC operatives at the hospital must not be encouraged. Nothing justifies the use of teargas canisters in a fragile hospital environment. Do we not realise that our hospitals are part of our most critical contributors to development? We must also learn to respect the lives and dignity of our citizens. If a Professor of Cardiothoracic Surgery is arrested in such a demeaning manner in a hospital environment, what signals are we sending to other medical professionals working hard to keep our health sector afloat? It is reported that Nigeria has only 80 cardiothoracic surgeons serving its 230 million people, and the Prof Eyo Ekpe is the only one in Akwa Ibom State. Let us learn to do better. Let us condemn and eschew the rascality and disorderliness that have continued to characterise some of our public offices and bring in civility in the discharge of our duties. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

The Heads of Tertiary Institutions in Nigeria had unanimously agreed that the Minimum Admissible Scores for admissions into Universities should be 150, Colleges of Nursing, 150, and Polytechnics, 100.

I don’t know why these people in power are deliberately lowering the standard of education in Nigeria daily. Teachers have been reduced to nothing, while students left to their fate if they cant afford private schools. I have closely monitored Singapore and Finland. They don’t have 2 heads. It’s just intentional and honest leadership. One day we will get leadership right in Nigeria. Very soon. We will move from a third world nation to a first world in our lifetime.

JUST IN: Federal Government mandates drug tests for secondary school students

i saw a mouse with an X-shaped battery compartment. first thought: this is stupid - who designed it? 5 seconds later: oh. 10 seconds later: OHHH! the X slot fits an AA or an AAA battery - whichever you've got lying around. the part most people miss is that the shape also makes it physically impossible to load both at once. there is no warning label, no instructions and no way to screw it up. the geometry does the thinking for you. japanese has a word for this. poka-yoke = "mistake-proofing." the product refuses your stupidity before you can offer it. i wish more things worked like this.

In London, it costs £40 to get a shave, while a one-bedroom flat rents for £2,500 per month. By comparison, the cost of living in Nigeria is way better than in many parts of the world.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​👀 _____ Reno Omokri. 🗣️
