Noticed a change in your breast? Don’t panic, but don’t ignore it!
Not every breast lump is cancerous, but every unusual change deserves medical attention. Early detection and timely action can save lives.
Watch, learn, and share. Someone needs this information today!

Your family history matters. Talk to your mother, sisters, aunties and grandmothers about breast and ovarian cancer. Share what you learn with your doctor.
Knowing your family history can help you make informed decisions about your health.

A diagnosis is not a death sentence. Treatment works best when started early, don’t delay, don’t disappear, and don’t rely on silence or unproven remedies. See a specialist.

Small, healthy choices can make a difference. Stay active, maintain a healthy weight, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol. Remember, healthy habits help, but regular breast checks and early medical attention remain important.

Breast cancer is more treatable when detected early. Don’t ignore changes in your breasts or delay seeking medical attention. Early detection starts with awareness and taking action.
Early is more than a slogan. Early is taking that step to get checked.

A new lump in the breast or armpit is a warning sign that should never be ignored. Breast cancer can develop without pain, so don’t wait for discomfort before seeking medical attention. Notice a change? Get it checked early.

No pain does not mean no problem. 🎗️
Breast cancer can develop without pain, especially in its early stages. That’s why it’s important to know your body, pay attention to changes, and seek medical attention when you notice something unusual.

Have you heard of a mammogram?
It’s a special breast X-ray that can detect changes before a lump can be felt. Early detection matters, and knowing when to get screened is an important part of taking care of your health.

Knowing your risk factors can help you make informed decisions about your breast health. Family history matters, but breast cancer can affect women without it. Stay informed and seek medical advice when needed.

Dear Northern Nigerians, let us rally around the DG of the NDC presidential campaign council, Ibrahim H Abdulkarim @ziter001 to deliver a Peter Obi presidency that will put Northern Nigeria on the front burner.
We've been playing tribal and religious politics which took us nowhere. Let's for once try competence, love, empathy, and character, to see if it will take us from poverty to prosperity.
Thanks for your attention to this matter. Nigeria will be OK.

Dear opposition in Plateau,
I hope you all are doing well today!
I want to make your jobs easy by half.
These are roads from just one agency of government.
Kindly go through and identify any road that hasn't been given attention but included here.
Note that these are roads mostly in Jos that most of us use everyday.
I'm sure Jos based X users won't forget how Farin Gada to UJ or Building Materials-Sabon Barki-Bukuru Low Cost used to be in a hurry.
I can also share that of Ministry of Works where most of their projects are outside the city center.
Mutfwang can't give attention to everything at a go due to inadequate resources but the impact of the baby steps are felt and much more will be done.
Kangang, Dong, Rangarasan people, I'm hearing there's progress from your areas...

UPDATE ON THE FIVE-YEAR REQUIREMENT FOR CERTIFICATE OF GOOD STANDING
Dear Colleagues,
On the issue of the reported five-year requirement for the issuance of a Certificate of Good Standing, I have engaged the relevant authorities as promised and obtained some clarification as follows:
Prescribed Requirement: The requirement is two years after full registration, with the period of NYSC included in the two years. Therefore, the reported five-year requirement is not what has been prescribed.
Colleagues Affected: Any colleague who has encountered a five-year requirement on their portal is requested to confirm this and reach out immediately so that the matter can be properly addressed.
Further Engagement: We understand that the decision was taken by the Council. We intend to engage the Council further during our courtesy visit to obtain additional clarification and address any concerns from colleagues who are uncomfortable with the current position.
We remain committed to constructive engagement with the relevant authorities to ensure clarity, fairness, and the protection of the interests of all our members.
Thank you.

Misinformation can delay life-saving care.
Know the facts, challenge the myths, and never ignore a breast lump, whether painful or painless. Early medical assessment matters!
Follow Doctor Vic for more reliable health information.
Not all breast cancer risk factors are within your control, but knowing your risk can help you make informed decisions.
From age and family history to lifestyle choices, understanding your risk is an important step towards protecting your breast health.
You may not be able to change every risk factor, but you can choose awareness, early detection, and timely medical care.
Breast cancer doesn’t always cause pain. Know the warning signs and don’t ignore changes in your breasts. 🎗️
A new lump, skin dimpling, nipple changes, or unusual discharge deserves medical attention. These changes do not always mean cancer, but early evaluation can make a life-saving difference.
Don’t wait for pain. Don’t self-diagnose. Get checked.
Know your normal. Notice the changes. Act early.
Breast self-awareness starts with knowing how your breasts normally look and feel. Take a few minutes each month to check for unusual lumps, skin changes, nipple changes, or thickening.
Most changes are not cancer, but any new or unusual change deserves prompt medical evaluation. Don’t ignore it or wait for it to disappear.

Today, I joined the First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria, Her Excellency, Senator Oluremi Tinubu; the National Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Prof. Nentawe Yilwatda; the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, His Excellency, Senator George Akume; the leader of the APC in North-Central Nigeria; and my brother Governors at the historic gathering where the North-Central Geopolitical Zone formally endorsed His Excellency, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, GCFR, for re-election in 2027.
The momentous occasion brought together an impressive assembly of party leaders, critical stakeholders, and faithful members of the APC from the six states of the North-Central Zone and the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja.
Their convergence was a powerful demonstration of political solidarity, shared conviction, and a collective resolve to sustain the President’s leadership and vision for our great nation.
The endorsement represents a resounding statement of confidence in President Tinubu’s leadership and the Renewed Hope Agenda, while reaffirming the North-Central Zone’s commitment to national unity, continuity, and the pursuit of a stronger, more prosperous Nigeria.
It was, indeed, a defining moment of unity and collective purpose, as the North-Central reaffirmed its readiness to stand firmly with President Bola Ahmed Tinubu as the nation looks towards the 2027 general elections.

So, I have been in Jos for the past two days, and I am immediately reminded why this land was such an experience the last time.
So, I took a Bolt here in Jos, and it was N3,500.
The distance was like heaven. But it was just N3,500.
Then, it’s almost as though the government has told the keke guys not to charge above N500.
You can take a keke across the Atlantic in Jos, and it would be N500.
Then, the hotel where I am lodged. I am not even ashamed to say I am paying N15k per night.
But the room is big, the water is heated, and I have free Wi-Fi powered by Starlink. It is heavenly.
That’s not the highlight.
It is the courtesy of the service. Everyone calls me “sir.”
For breakfast, the lady was preparing my tea and bread.
I got uncomfortable because such courtesy is alien to me as someone from Lagos.
Like I have said before, I know good street food by how rude the woman is.
The other day at Ikeja Under Bridge, I bought rice from this woman.
The setup looked great. But when I engaged her and she was very warm and respectful, my heart sank.
I knew the food would not be good.
I was right.
But here in Jos? I feel human warmth.
Guys, God has to do something for us in Lagos.
You would hardly feel any human collective joy and community here.
The atmosphere is hard, tense, fast, and strained.
You won’t find that here in Jos. It is indeed peaceful.
Oh, people are respectful here. So, so respectful.
Finally, there’s a guy who sells suya around Lamingo Road.
Honestly, I think God called that guy to the ministry of suya.
I don’t think you can make suya like that if God is not with you.
No. That has to be a gift from above.
The meat listens to him.
They are so soft you feel like heaven makes contact with your teeth and tongue.
I shall go draw from his ministry tomorrow night. I must eat it before I leave.
Lastly, lastly, the Chinese rice here costs just N5,000.
My God, it does taste like China’s beautiful skyscrapers.
I shall draw from that ministry tomorrow too.
So, that’s been my experience so far in Jos.
It has been a delight.
