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

Women are not loyal to your sacrifices; they are only loyal to their feelings. To a woman, you’re only as good as your last good deed to her.

Nigeria may be one of the greatest free talent factories in human history.
We train our best doctors, engineers, researchers, programmers, nurses, academics and innovators… then export them cheaply to countries that already work.
America benefits, Canada benefits, Britain benefits, Australia benefits and entire Europe benefits as-well.
Meanwhile the country that produced the talent remains broken, and the painful part is this:
excellent people are the rarest resource on earth.
Not oil, not gold nor land.
Excellent human beings.
The kind of people that build industries, fix institutions, create companies, discover medicines, design systems, lead revolutions and move civilizations forward.
Every serious nation knows this.
That is why the West aggressively absorbs the best brains from struggling countries. They don’t joke with talent.
Nigeria loses thousands of its most competent people every year, then we gather online to argue about tribe and politics while our future quietly boards flights out of the country.
Imagine if China lost most of its best engineers.
Imagine if Singapore exported its smartest minds permanently.
Imagine if South Korea trained talents only for other nations to use them.
Would they become great nations?
No.
A nation rises on the strength of its human capital.
And this is why I still believe Nigeria can become first world within our generation but only if we become intentional about building a country our best people no longer feel desperate to escape from.
Because no country develops by permanently exporting its most capable citizens and importing mediocrity into leadership.
At some point, we must stop celebrating survival abroad and start building a nation worth staying back to fight for.

Ugo’s wife posted on her IG story, that she can now go to the girls trip they’ve been planning since 2022.
We can assume this to mean that she’s celebrating “freedom” from the marriage.
Freedom is like a mirage, I tell you brethren. E no real.
Remember when we were younger, we would sneak out for parties, we would die to be with our friends, we would sneak out for many things.
As an adult, you can actually just go for whatever party, but why are you not going?😂 you’ve got all the freedom, yet, you can’t really do those things you use to sneak out to do.
There’s also a bubble stage where the water is at boiling point (100°C), she might be at that stage, the “freedom at last” stage, but when the dust settles, reality will set in. Those friends who were giving her ginger will suddenly become busy, going for work, attending to their own family.
That guy you were sneaking out with is okay with the sneaky links, but not okay with real-life responsibilities, hence, his attitude begin to change. This is the point you now register for therapy😭
