Though being rich in Nigeria doesn’t insulate you; you’re just as likely to die in a simple traffic accident (or during childbirth) as your less fortunate counterparts, because of the lack of emergency response system, virtually no fully equipped trauma center within Nigeria’s borders and most medical centers being ill-equipped to perform emergency surgeries.

It’s a shame because they’re literally millions of Nigerian born & bred physicians living in the diaspora, protecting and treating the citizens of other countries. Not that I’m assigning blame to them, they won’t be well compensated if they lived at home, and they certainly won’t have the basic infrastructure available to them to give the best possible medical care. I mean just imagine being in the middle of surgery and there’s a power failure because of “shedding” or sending an ambulance somewhere, only for the driver to tell you that there’s yet another fuel shortage so no fuel.

Anyways all that being said, I support folks who want to move back to Naija, especially young people who want to do more than be a beento. I think some of the saddest people I’ve met in my life are those folks who have been away from home so long that they’re no longer relevant there, but hold on to home so much that they’re definitely not relevant in their country of residence.

That aside Iris is such a cutie.
Well done Banke

On another note, Genevieve has such dry ass content, unimaginative articles, hell even the layout sucks… they need to breathe new life in that magazine, get a new creative director or something. It’s such a disappointment to see the lack of growth in this publication.
