Now a Disgraced Country Indeed Today, as the world marks World Health Day, we must pause for honest reflection. Nigeria, a nation of over 200 million people, continues to grapple with one of the weakest healthcare systems in the world. Our primary healthcare structure is almost comatose. We now record worse infant mortality outcomes than India, a country with a larger population, while health insurance coverage in Nigeria remains below 5%. These are not just statistics; they are a painful indictment of our priorities. Recent disclosures by the Honourable Minister of Health show that out of the ₦218 billion appropriated for healthcare capital expenditure, only about ₦36 million has been released. This is deeply troubling. At the same time, the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) has projected over ₦135 billion for legal expenditures. Let us reflect on this. The amount earmarked for election-related litigation is far higher than what has been made available for primary healthcare, the very foundation of a nation’s wellbeing. This is the same primary healthcare system expected to serve millions of Nigerians and support critical institutions such as: 1. University of Benin Teaching Hospital, Benin City 2. University of Calabar Teaching Hospital, Calabar 3. University of Abuja Teaching Hospital, Gwagwalada 4. University College Hospital, Ibadan 5. Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospital, Ile-Ife 6. University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin 7. Irrua Specialist Teaching Hospital, Irrua 8. University of Nigeria Teaching Hospital, Ituku-Ozalla, Enugu 9. Jos University Teaching Hospital, Jos 10. Aminu Kano University Teaching Hospital, Kano 11. Lagos University Teaching Hospital, Lagos 12. University of Maiduguri Teaching Hospital, Maiduguri 13. Nnamdi Azikiwe Teaching Hospital, Nnewi 14. University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital, Port Harcourt 15. Usmanu Danfodiyo University Teaching Hospital, Sokoto 16. University of Uyo Teaching Hospital, Uyo 17. Ahmadu Bello University Teaching Hospital, Zaria 18. Federal Teaching Hospital, Abakaliki 19. Abubakar Tafawa Balewa University Teaching Hospital, Bauchi 20. Federal Medical Centre, Yola These institutions represent hope for millions. Yet, they remain underfunded, overstretched, and burdened by systemic neglect. A nation that prepares more for electoral disputes than for the health of its citizens is a nation that has lost its way. We must begin to ask the difficult but necessary questions: What are our true priorities? What kind of nation are we building? And for whom? Healthcare and education are not optional; they are the foundation of national development. Any country that neglects them undermines its own future. Nigeria must urgently reorder its priorities. We must invest in the health and wellbeing of our people, strengthen our institutions, and build a system that works for all, not just a few. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Yesterday defenders of democracy, today's destroyers, What a shame. What an irony of history, that the acclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights who claimed to have fought for democracy during the era of General Sani Abacha now find themselves worse than the man they opposed. Today, General Sani Abacha, once presumed face of oppression, will be remembered as seemingly more democratic and more respectful of human rights than the so-called champions of activism from the NADECO days. Power indeed reveals character. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Tinubu in Jos Confirms ‘Don't Vote for Me’ Prediction on Power Supply During the 2023 campaign, President Tinubu made a clear electoral promise: “If I don’t give you constant electricity in four years, don’t vote for me for a second term.” When he took office in 2023, Nigeria had a power supply of over 4,000 megawatts and lower tariffs. Today, the electricity power supply is less than 4,000 megawatts on the average, and Nigerians are paying higher tariffs. Nigeria currently has the lowest per capita electricity consumption in the world, with a rate below 30% of the African average. Africa’s average is 617kwh, Nigeria’s is 144 kWh. This means that Nigerians consume least electricity than other Africans. In a glaring display of disregard for promises and a lack of trust, President Tinubu, during a brief airport stopover to visit grieving families of the Jos attack on Thursday, April 2, 2026, stated that one of the reasons for his 10-minute stay was that the airport had no electricity. “You have no light here I fly out in ten minutes” At a time when Nigerians are enduring days without power, our leaders cannot even stay a few minutes without it. Now is the time to stop incompetent leaders—those lacking the capacity and compassion—who prioritise their own comfort over the well-being of the people and make empty promises. A new Nigeria is POssible. -PO

A week ago, I hired some guys to cut the grass in my compound. They broke three pipes and started apologizing, so I let it slide. A day later, there was no more running water in the house. I called a plumber to come and fix it. He came and did a half baked job… he literally tied the pipes together, buried them under sand, collected 10k, and left. When power was restored, I pumped water and noticed the rubbish job he had done. I called him to tell him the pipes were still leaking. He said he was coming, but he never showed up. I kept reaching out to him day after day, and he started ignoring my calls altogether. I’m really hurt. He can keep the 10k, but I want my vengeance. The plan was to call him with a new plumbing job every day somewhere far from his house. When he gets there under the hot sun, he’ll call, and the “customer” will say they’re coming, wasting his time for hours until he gives up and goes home with nothing but transport fare lost. I’ll repeat this until he either stops taking calls altogether and risks losing real customers, or he keeps going from place to place, waiting for hours to no avail. The problem now is that he knows my number, my sister’s number, my brother’s number, and my mum’s number, so he ignores all our calls. Who’s willing to help me perpetuate this evil plan? I need your help, my mutuals.🥹

Read this slowly. It should make you uncomfortable. The Nigerian tax law does not care that you are “just trying to survive.” If money touched your account: salary, side hustle, freelance job, gifts, contributions, donations, appreciation, online payments, the law assumes it is taxable until YOU prove otherwise. Not later. Not when you’re ready. Not when enforcement comes. Now. Let me show you the dangerous part most people are ignoring: The burden of explanation is on you, not the government. If you cannot explain: – why you received the money – what category it falls under – whether tax was already paid – or whether an exemption applies Then by default, it becomes assessable income. That’s not opinion. That’s how the tax law was written. That ₦200k “gift”? That side hustle? That random inflow from a friend? That church honorarium? That online payment you didn’t document? The law doesn’t care what you called it. It only cares why it touched your account. And if you can’t explain it properly, it becomes taxable income by default. This is the part nobody is shouting about. The law quietly shifts the burden: – Government no longer has to prove you earned income – YOU must prove you didn’t If money passes through you and you don’t have: • records • structure • explanations • classifications You are exposed. The “common man” is the real target here, not the billionaires with accountants. Because big companies already know how to: – structure income – classify expenses – document everything But the average Nigerian? We collect money casually. We move money emotionally. We receive funds without thinking. We don’t record context. And this law punishes that. It turns ignorance into liability. It turns informality into risk. It turns survival money into taxable events. Nobody is saying the law is evil. But pretending it’s harmless is dishonest. If you earn, receive, or move money without structure, this law is not neutral to you; it is hostile. Be angry if you want. But don’t be unprepared. I am on a 60 day journey to show you things you need to know about this tax law. Follow @jpattueyi and turn on the notifications for daily updates.

Let’s break it down: They say, “If you earn ₦2.5 million a year, you should pay ₦250,000 in tax yearly.” But ₦2.5 million annually is barely ₦200,000 per month. ₦200k is not big money in Nigeria. Not in 2025, you’re poor. Not with the current economy. Now imagine you have two kids. Or let’s calculate for you alone sef Out of that ₦200k: •Feeding: Eating decently is at least ₦3,000/day → ₦90,000/month •Transport: ₦1,500/day → ₦45,000/month •Light (NEPA + service charges + prepaid): ₦15,000/month •Fuel (just to survive through the darkness): ₦15,000/month •Miscellaneous (medicine, emergencies, small school needs, data, repairs): minimum ₦30,000/month That’s already ₦195,000 — and we haven’t even touched school fees. We haven’t touched house rent. We haven’t touched clothing. We haven’t touched savings. We haven’t touched unexpected sickness. Data is extremely expensive!! We haven’t touched supporting parents (because in Nigeria, your parents will still call you). And those same parents? Their children, the ones they are calling, are also paying tax from their own small income. So tell me: Out of this same ₦200k salary, where exactly is the “extra” that should be taxed at this rate? How do you train two children in a country where school fees are now touching the skies? How do you survive when the cost of living keeps rising but payment structure is till terrible? How do people “progress” when even breathing feels taxed? The salary structure in Nigeria is not just broken, it is confused. Earnings in this country are like adadabidi, unstable, unpredictable, nothing to write home about, yet the government wants to collect organized tax like the average Nigerian is swimming in abundance. Instead of stabilizing the country… Instead of improving the minimum wage… Instead of reducing the cost of food, transportation, and electricity… Instead of fixing healthcare and education… They jump straight to taxation. Tax from where? From the same people who are barely surviving? Nigeria has never lacked resources, it has only lacked prioritization. Before you tax people aggressively, create a country where people can actually live decently. Do the bare minimum. Make life livable. Let people breathe first. Because right now, nothing about this makes sense. We are in hell

Our grandparents used to die from simple scratches. An infection from a small cut and they're gone. We laugh at that now, because we have antibiotics. We think we are safe. But truth be told, we’re going back to our grandparent’s exact future where infections can take someone just because our antibiotics stop working. How? Let me tell you… Many of you feel a fever and body pain. And the first thing you do is to go to the chemist to give you Malaria and Typhoid drugs. “Mix am so e go fit work well”, you tell the chemist. What you don't know is you're putting yourself in danger. You don't even know if you have typhoid. You've just swallowed powerful antibiotics for nothing. Or, the doctor gives you antibiotics for 7 days. By Day 3, because you're feeling better, you stop. You save the rest for later. You didn't kill the bacteria, you just educated them and gave them a small taste of the bullet, letting them survive. So now, when you actually get a serious infection... when you really need that drug... It most likely will not work. I'm not trying to scare you, but please, for this World Antimicrobial Awareness week… Let’s stop abusing antibiotics. Unless you’re sure you have a bacterial infection, DO NOT SELF-MEDICATE. Deal?
