Nigeria’s health care system is notably underfunded, contributing to rising maternal mortality rates and issues like #fistula. This year, a mere 4.6 percent of the total budget has been dedicated to health. My recent feature examining the approaches to women’s health in 🇳🇬

Through the efforts of priests, sisters, and Catholic-related NGOs, the church in Nigeria offers vital resources for women's health. https://t.co/Waoy1q6T8G

The IGP's ban on random searches of phones &arbitrary arrests is commendable, as it will help reduce the high-handedness of some of these officers. But what abt D searching of wallets? @Princemoye1 I found this utterly strange when this visiblly angry officer asked for my purse.

Window dressing arbitrary arrests & extortion by your officers will not change anything. Your men need to understand & follow the rules of engagement that govern policing in Nigeria. Yesterday, I could have easily been profiled as a ‘yahoo-boy’ by some of your officers in Lagos

Allow our Police officer now 😂😂🤣😭 https://t.co/HP2WKhXo3G

The decay within the system is worrisome, & I genuinely hope that the public's perception of the force doesn’t deteriorate any further. Earlier this year, I had a personal experience that deepened my distrust of the @PoliceNG. Not even those at the Complaint Unit @PoliceNG_CRU

SP Chukwu Thomas collected money, gave me my passport and advised me to leave Nigeria through Benin Republic. That the immigration still had my name to stop me from leaving. I didn’t think it was a joke, so I left through Togo to Sweden, because I can’t trust Nigerian police.

Normalized, but not normal😭😭

Onyeka Nwelue @onyekanwelue

Officers from Interpol Annex Alagbon, connived with Nigerian immigration and DSS to pick me from airport to Ikoyi and kept me behind the counter. I asked one of them what to do and go. Someone sponsored the arrest to teach me a lesson. I paid double of what he paid and left.

The police have historically been a tool for powerful interests to target journalists and suppress dissenting voices. Unfortunately, this has confirmed the deeply flawed roots of Nigeria's justice system, as highlighted by @DeleFarotimi in his book. #FreeDeleFarotimiNow

They say nah "one Fisayo Soyombo". A lot of comedians in this country just wasting their talents in civil service.

This abuse isn't only in Akwa Ibom state but also in Cross River state. These Pentecostal preachers ve truncated the lives & futures of so many Nigerian children they branded #witches. Helen Ukpabio &others in this web of violence against children should be arrested &prosecuted.

Amnesty International Nigeria @AmnestyNigeria

The Nigerian authorities and particularly the government of Akwa Ibom state @_PastorUmoEno — must immediately launch an impartial and effective investigation of strong allegations of promoting practices harmful to children by evangelist Helen Ukpabio.
