BREAKING: The Lagos State ADC is set to collapse its structures into the NDC ✌️ awaiting Peter Obi announcement. A New Nigeria 🇳🇬 Is POssible

Green Party say they plan to ensure everyone has a minimum wage of £31,000pa. I run a business. I don’t earn that. I employ 2 people. They don’t earn that. The business I run doesn’t take in enough to pay that. I’d need to charge customers way more to afford that 🤷‍♂️. Or go bust.

🚨 JUST IN: Marco Silva to Chelsea talks heating up 💙 There’s growing movement behind the scenes at Chelsea with members of Silva’s entourage reportedly working directly with parts of the Chelsea board to push through a deal. 👀 🔵 Silva is understood to be open to replacing Liam Rosenior, while some figures inside Chelsea are already convinced he’s the right fit. ⚠️ The situation: • Silva has Premier League experience and is seen as a stabiliser after a chaotic season • Similar profile to when Mauricio Pochettino came in to steady things • But questions remain — would Silva accept a short-term role, or want full control? 📊 Meanwhile, his current side Fulham are level on points with Chelsea this season — showing the job he’s doing. 👀 Big picture: Chelsea may not be going for a long-term “project coach” here… this feels like a move to fix things quickly before the next big appointment. 💭 Would you take Silva as a short-term solution, or should Chelsea aim higher?

Gilmore met a Nigerian man in the UK who said he’d been advised by UK health authorities not to donate blood in the UK, after tests showed traces of a malaria parasite still present in his system from the 10–12 years he lived in Nigeria 😭

The MDCN just dropped a memo on CPD, and we need to talk about the reality of what this means for every Nigerian doctor. For those wondering, CPD (Continuing Professional Development) is basically the council’s way of ensuring we aren't practicing with "expired" knowledge. To get your license every year, you now have to prove you’ve sat through enough seminars and courses to earn 20 units. In theory, this is great. A doctor who stops learning is a danger to the public. But in practice? It’s starting to feel like a subscription service we never asked for. We just survived a massive hike in annual license fees, and now we’re expected to pay separate fees to buy these CPD points. If the goal is truly self-improvement and better patient outcomes, why isn't this training free? Or at the very least, why isn't it covered by the licensing fee we already pay? It’s even more frustrating for our colleagues in the diaspora. They are already doing CPDs to satisfy regulators in the UK or US, yet they’re being asked to pay extra to keep their Nigerian license active. If a fee must exist, it should be uniform and transparent. A doctor is a doctor, regardless of where they are currently practicing. What do you guys think? Is the MDCN overstepping with these extra costs, or is this a fair price for “standardization"?
