5,314 Nigerians currently work in UK's National Health Service (NHS). The trend of doctors emigrating out of Nigeria appears to be witnessing a new height. Our govt must act now to retain Nigerian doctors! #BeingADoctorInNigeria

#Ebola has spread to Uganda. Remember, it takes as little as 36 hours for infectious disease outbreaks to spread from one country to the other. Nigeria is NOT prepared for another ebola outbreak. Dear President @MBuhari , please act fast to #PreventEpidemicsNaija

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay . Nigeria’s mental health statistics are a cause for concern; further aggravated by a culture of indifference and denial. There is perhaps no better time than now to begin to have a focused and sustained conversation about our state of mental healthcare.

“The day we see the last #COVID19 case, I will do a special thanksgiving in my church... I really can’t wait to go back home at the end of all these. I miss my family so much. I miss Salvation, my nine-month-old son.” - Aboho, #COVID19Nigeria Driver. #MyCOVID19NaijaStory
