LE TOGO SUPPRIME LE VISA POUR TOUS LES AFRICAINS ! Le Togo franchit une étape historique dans le renforcement de l’intégration africaine. Désormais, tous les ressortissants des États africains détenteurs d’un passeport national valide peuvent entrer sur le territoire togolais sans visa, pour un séjour allant jusqu’à 30 jours. À travers cette réforme majeure, le Président du Conseil réaffirme sa volonté de faire du Togo un espace d’ouverture, de mobilité, d’opportunités et de coopération au cœur du continent africain. Les voyageurs doivent toutefois effectuer leur déclaration de voyage sur la plateforme officielle voyage.gouv.tg au moins 24 heures avant leur arrivée afin d’obtenir leur bordereau de voyage. Le Togo confirme ainsi son leadership en matière d’intégration régionale et de rapprochement des peuples africains. #Togo #Afrique #integration #Libre #panafricanism #voyage #cooperation

@MR_NAGBA @CTSU___ There is no such record either from WHO or CDC that puts medication errors in any list of leading cause of death. You are simply regurgitating beer parlour, backyard drug store gist on the timeline. Try to read so as not to misdirect people.

@CTSU___ It’s because pharmacist don’t publicize medication errors in govt hospital. Medication errors are the leading cause of death in the world and it’s worse in Nigeria. Chimamanda case is one of them, if she wasn’t influential it would have been swept under the carpet like others.

State visits by Leaders are not tourism, and diplomacy is not a fashion parade. Every foreign trip undertaken by a government must deliver measurable benefits to the people, including investments, technology transfer, trade agreements, factory expansion, industrial partnerships, and job creation. During President Trump’s recent visit to China, the American delegation reportedly included a few top government officials, and many of the biggest figures in global business and technology: Consequently, huge trade deals worth several billion dollars including about 200 Boeing orders were achieved. The list of the entourage included 1. Donald J. Trump – President of the United States 2. Marco Rubio – Secretary of State 3. Pete Hegseth – Secretary of Defence 4. Elon Musk – CEO, Tesla & SpaceX 5. Jensen Huang – CEO, Nvidia 6. Tim Cook – CEO, Apple 7. Larry Fink – CEO, BlackRock 8. Stephen Schwarzman – CEO, Blackstone 9. Kelly Ortberg – CEO, Boeing 10. Brian Sikes – CEO, Cargill 11. Jane Fraser – CEO, Citigroup 12. Larry Culp – CEO, General Electric 13. David Solomon – CEO, Goldman Sachs 14. Sanjay Mehrotra – CEO, Micron Technology 15.Cristiano Amon – CEO, Qualcomm 16. Dina P. McCormick – President of Meta 17. Ryan McInerney – CEO, Visa 18. Michael Miebach – President, Mastercard 19. Jim Anderson – CEO, Coherent 20. Jacob Thaysen – CEO, Illumina That is how serious nations approach diplomacy, by aligning foreign policy with economic expansion, industrial growth, innovation, and national productivity. I hope that lessons can be learned from these recent visits comparing them with the President of Nigeria’s recent state visit to the United Kingdom. A large entourage of politicians, aides, and government officials travelled, yet Nigerians are still asking a simple question: what exactly did Nigeria bring home? Which factories are coming to Nigeria? What power, technology, manufacturing, agricultural, or industrial agreements were secured? How many direct jobs will this visit create for Nigerian youths? What investments were attracted? What measurable economic outcomes can the ordinary Nigerian point to? The delegation reportedly included: 1. President Bola Tinubu 2. Senator (Mrs) Tinubu 3.12 governors 4.9 ministers 5.7 members of the National Assembly 6. Over 20 senior State House staff 7. Over 30 security personnel 8. Over 10 domestic staff 9. Several supporters and associates It is not enough to ride horses, wear matching uniforms, attend royal banquets, and release glossy photographs. Symbolism without substance cannot feed hungry citizens. Today, Nigeria is in decline, battling serious insecurity, food insecurity, unemployment, a weakened naira, declining industrial productivity, and worsening poverty. At a time when millions of Nigerians struggle daily to afford food and survive economic hardship, every kobo spent on foreign trips must produce tangible national value: investments, factories, jobs, exports, infrastructure, and economic opportunities. Nigeria needs leadership that is focused less on optics and more on productivity; less on ceremony and more on measurable economic results. A New Nigeria is POssible. -PO

Is it right for a govt to implement austerity measures for citizens only whilst the govt continues with flamboyant spending? I am really curious to hear your answer (because this is exactly what Tinubu's govt is doing).

I know a popular private clinic off Ikot Ekpene Road in Uyo. Their matron has to be the only RN while every other nurse there is an auxiliary nurse. A relative who works as a cleaner in the clinic told me they allowed her to conduct a delivery. According to her, “The MD came into the labour room and asked if I was able to remove the placenta and whether they had shown me the drugs to inject the patient afterwards. I said yes. I was so happy. I even go to the pharmacy unit to learn about drugs.” One day, we will talk about how MDs deliberately engineer and encourage quackery in the medical field by employing auxiliary nurses and patent medicine dealers to run their private clinics.

Again, in the average private hospital in Nigeria, the ‘Nurse’ attending to you is not a registered nurse.

RE: Alleged assault, brutalization, arrest, and detention of Professor Eyo Ekpe, DCMAC UUTH Uyo (and others) by suspected operatives of the EFCC: DIRECTIVE TO THE CHAIRMAN , NMA AKWA IBOM STATE AND INDEED ALL OTHER CHAIRMEN OF STATE AND FCT BRANCHES OF NMA This is to officially convey that the, The National Officers Committee (NOC) of the Nigerian Medical Association (NMA), ably led by Dr (Prof) Afekhide Ernest Omoti, is fully briefed and in full cognizance of the above unfortunate incident affecting some of our members in Akwa Ibom State. The NOC condemns, in the strongest possible terms, such alleged reckless and barbaric behaviors allegedly displayed by operatives of the EFCC within the premises of a public hospital and against medical personnel in the course of their daily duty of rendering life-saving services. The National Officers Committee has begun high-level engagements to get to the root of this matter and seek redress at the highest quarters. This NOC will not tolerate continuing harassment of doctors in any form whatsoever. While at it; the President of NMA hereby directs as follows: 1. That the Akwa Ibom State branch of NMA has the full support of the NMA NOC and the NOC approves of all lawful measures that the branch has taken so far, including any other such lawful actions they may take in the near future, to seek complete redress on the subject matter 2. That henceforth, in any event of unlawful and unwarranted harassment of any doctor in the course of duty elsewhere, the leadership of all State and FCT Branches where such incidents occur must demand the identification and prosecution of any such law enforcement agents 3. That the demand in (2) above must be on the minimum demand for truce at all times It must, however, be noted, by all law enforcement agencies and members of public, that nothing in this directive suggests that law enforcement agents should not carry out their lawful duties, but that such activities must be in accordance with highest ethical standards for law enforcement, rule of law, decorum and common decency expected of modern law enforcement establishments. Thank you Prof Olayinka Atilola National Publicity Secretary MMA

I've always said this; The major and almost only reason many of us are able to have a semblance of middle class life is the Chinese, from affordable Devices (phones, computers, TVs, 'Cars, etc) on an individual level to Infrastructural investment in roads, bridges, ports, rail, Solar plants, gas plants etc on a societal level to jobs, skill transfer, credit etc are the Chinese. We in Africa owe a lot to the Chinese that we don't realise.

China is seriously crashing the prices of cars in Africa. Recall that China helped crashed the prices of smart phones and laptops for Africans.
