Apparently, before now, there were plans to purchase 1 million vaccines to arrive next week into Nigeria, but there was a deadline and it was about to elapse.
BUA Group took it upon themselves and paid 1.3 billion naira for the vaccines and some people are not happy
Rather than give support and help us save the lives of Nigerians, it looks like the major worry is who is getting the accolades for getting these vaccines, rather than the lives that will be saved by this.
BUA Group has paid for the vaccines, you were aware of this as a group and did not take initiative. Now it was paid for and the best option was to disown the payment? Why?
Seems like politics to me abeg and this is not the time for it, not when Nigerians are literally dying.
We all know that our country has a poor healthcare system, most of the cost of healthcare is borne by the government and this is not sustainable seeing as our revenue can not adequately take care of all of us, there is need for organizations to pitch in and play their parts
BUA Group has provided leadership that is what other organizations should do now.
Do what you can, play your part. It doesn't matter who is seen to be helping or not, just play your part to make sure that the average Nigerian stands a chance, healthwise

In 2015, I had just left medical school and gotten internship placement, it was the time for me to learn more skills and improve my practice.
Some cases you see change your life
I'll never forget this lady that came in with a swollen right leg, she had lost so much weight.
We asked questions, did our investigations and found out that she had cervical cancer, it broke our hearts. It had started spreading to other organs in her body and usually, at this point, her chances were looking bad.
She showed her previous photos, was so full of life
We talked a lot before she died, sometimes, when I wasn't on duty, I would go see her and spend the day by her bedside, talked about her dreams, her passions, she loved to design.
I noticed people usually have clearer visions towards the end of life
When you have a headache or body aches and you go to the pharmacy near you and ask for paracetamol, do you insist on a type or take what they give you?
I have a habit where I insist on M&B, “The Red One”.
My father was a chemist in his days and I grew up trusting them. I still do
When it comes to medications that you can get over the counter, I have noticed some people trust some brands over others, even when they contain the same thing, a pharmacist asked me this when I insisted on “The Red One”, My trusted brand.
When it comes to over the counter medications, you have to take responsibility for what you take, follow the instructions properly or the directions of your doctor or pharmacist. Don’t take it the way your neighbor asked you to, it might have side effects
A baby just died because a piece of groundnut entered her windpipe and blocked her airway. Her toddler sibling was trying to feed her while the mom was bathing
Here's what you can do if you ever come across a choking baby. This might save a baby's life.
A thread.
Step one: Call for help!
See, Shout! Call your neighbors! Scream like a life depends on it.
Step 2. Give back blows
If it's a baby under one year: Lay the baby face down across your laps and use the heel of your hands to give back blows
I have written an article on this before complete with photos and clearer than this, use this link: aprokodoctor.com/what-to-do-whe…
When I started Aproko Doctor, some of my colleagues who were doctors said I was wasting my time
Years later, I've impacted hundreds of thousands of people, signed deals with multinational organisations.
Don't allow anyone talk down on your dreams.
Always #DoYou
You don't need to know everything before you start, all I had was my mirror in my room then, imagining I was talking on TV. It was the TV Box idea.
It wasn't clear at first what I wanted to do, but I knew it was going to be huge.
I opened a page on Facebook, it's still there. Wasn't getting any traction. I switched to Instagram. At some point I got angry, why were people who were "doing rubbish" having more views than I was. I was depressed! I had value, I was going to help people live longer!
Two people can't be together, love, communicate, and care for each other without occasionally suffering for each other, but if you listen to Twitter, you'd think none of that happens.
You'd think any sign of inconvenience spells the end of a relationship. Many will fall for it
When you are dating, sacrificing for your partner seems like a small deal.
"Is it not just my time? Just an appointment. It's nothing"
After marriage, reality sets in, and sacrificing becomes reality, not theory. Many times, it becomes a lifestyle
You give up getting that shoe because your partner has a need.
You eat a new diet you don't like to support your partner, most cases, a condition that requires a change of diet
Picking up extra shifts at the hospital for your family is sacrifice. It happens almost everyday
