Rural Communities Cry Out Over Overbilling, Inconsistent Practices in Healthcare

Rural Communities Cry Out Over Overbilling, Inconsistent Practices in Healthcare

By Ifeoma Ikem

Residents of Ijede community in Ikorodu, Lagos State, have raised alarm over the non-accessible, unaffordable, and inconsistent practices of the Oke-Eletu Health Centre. The healthcare facility has been accused of overbilling patients, making it difficult for them to afford essential healthcare services.

A resident, Alhaji Bello Okeifa, expressed his frustration, questioning who is behind this “evil act” that is denying residents access to affordable healthcare.

The 60-year-old lamented that the high cost of drugs at the health centre’s drug bank is forcing people to resort to traditional herbs for treatment.

“We are our own enemies. Else how can a health centre – subsidised by government – castrate it’s poor patients, slamming undue and costly bills on them for services? It’s unprofessional. And there is no hospital nearby to go to.”

Another resident, Mrs. Johnson Lawal, attributed the problem to economic factors, stating that poverty rates are higher in rural communities, making it difficult for residents to afford healthcare services, medications and transportation costs.

She noted that out-of-pocket expenses often deter individuals from seeking timely medical attention, exacerbating health problems and perpetuating a cycle of poverty.

Iya Seyi, a herbalist, echoed similar sentiments, saying such action by the medical profession and government did not bode well for the community. She urged the government to make healthcare services affordable, rather than adding to the health challenges faced by the community.

In response to the complaints, Hon. Motunrayo Alogba, the LCDA chairman, assured the community that her administration is committed to upholding the integrity of the healthcare system and will not tolerate any form of exploitation.
She stated that an internal review has commenced to address the grievances and ensure accountability, fairness, and transparency in service delivery.

The Ijede youth coordinator, Musediq Olumide, commended the council boss for her quick response, saying it reflects her leadership quality and commitment to serving the community.

He urged for a thorough investigation and enforceable sanctions for anyone found culpable of overbilling and inconsistent practices.

The issue highlights the challenges faced by rural communities in accessing affordable healthcare services, and the need for accountability and transparency in healthcare delivery.

Happy Anniversary In Office, Time for Truth and Action: A Call to PDP Faithfuls Worldwide

Happy Anniversary In Office, Time for Truth and Action: A Call to PDP Faithfuls Worldwide

Greetings to all my dear party faithfuls and committed members across Nigeria and beyond this message is not for the pretenders and sell-outs still parading themselves as loyal PDP members while aligning themselves with the APC in disguise.

There is no longer any room for pretense. The reality is glaring: many of our so-called leaders have betrayed the trust and loyalty of the party’s grassroots. They have sold their conscience to the ruling APC while still operating under our banner a dangerous hypocrisy that has cost us dearly.

Let us ask ourselves a sincere and sobering question: How much longer will we remain in opposition while Nigerians suffer under the weight of APC’s failed leadership? Every day, citizens face untold hardship, economic instability, insecurity, and hopelessness all results of an inept government that rose to power through deception, tribal and religious sentiment and continues to hold on through manipulation and propaganda.

As loyal PDP members not just followers, but stakeholders we must demand transparency, strategy, and seriousness from our leadership. We cannot afford to be blind loyalists while the APC continues to toy with the future of this nation and with our party’s integrity.

A Crisis of Leadership

Do we truly believe that the current crop of leaders at the helm of our great party are serious about returning PDP to power in 2027?

Can we in good conscience say that with individuals like Wike, Anyawu, Samuel Ortom men many see as compromised sitting as a member of the Board of Trustees, we are positioning ourselves for a comeback in 2027?

What were the concrete outcomes of our last strategic meeting? What plans are in motion? Or are we still dwelling in the illusion that mere presence at rallies or issuing hollow statements will win us the next election?

The truth is: we are at a crossroads.

The PDP must awaken from slumber. We must cleanse our ranks and rekindle the fire of true opposition. The time to organize, strategize, and mobilize is now. Our leaders must show that they are not only ready to lead but are also connected to the pains and aspirations of ordinary Nigerians.

The Way Forward:

1. Accountability: PDP members must begin to hold leaders accountable. Those found to be hobnobbing with the APC should be shown the way out. We cannot fight our enemies with compromised generals.

2. Grassroots Engagement: The strength of PDP has always been in its base and despite the leadership challenges PDP has the sympathy and Goodwill of Electorates. Therefore, we must return to the people with sincerity, listening ears, and practical solutions not rhetorics as people are tired of APC rule.

3. Reform the Leadership Structure: It’s time for a leadership overhaul infuse new blood and flush out the anti party element holding the party to ransom after the party build them, inject more younger voices, and credible patriots into positions of influence.

4. Clear Roadmap for 2027: We demand a transparent plan not just political rhetoric. Where is the strategy? Who are our proposed candidates? What is our message? The time for vague declarations is over.

In Celebration of Genuine Leadership

As we reflect on the challenges, we also celebrate the achievements of true PDP leaders who have stood by the people and have made visible progress. On this note, we extend heartfelt congratulations to our leader and father, His Excellency, Governor Bala Mohammed, on his six-year anniversary in office. Your unwavering dedication to development, good governance, and the welfare of your people remains a beacon of hope for what PDP can represent when we lead with purpose and integrity.

To all PDP Governors marking their anniversaries in office, we celebrate your achievements and urge you to continue to be shining examples of leadership that serves.

The time has come to rise. PDP must return to its roots, reclaim its purpose, and reawaken its fighting spirit. Let us not forget: our loyalty is to the people, to justice, and to the future of Nigeria not to compromised power-brokers.

Happy Anniversary In Office, Time for Truth and Action: A Call to PDP Faithfuls Worldwide

Let us speak the truth, demand action, and prepare to return to power with a renewed vision and a clean house.

PDP! Power to the People!

Happy Anniversary In Office, Time for Truth and Action: A Call to PDP Faithfuls Worldwide

Edutainment Meets Law Enforcement: Tayo Folorunsho Commends Police for Supporting Youth Leadership Initiatives

*Edutainment Meets Law Enforcement: Tayo Folorunsho Commends Police for Supporting Youth Leadership Initiatives*

Abuja, Nigeria — Renowned edutainment advocate and youth development leader, Tayo Folorunsho, is calling on Nigerians to reconsider their views of the Nigeria Police Force, encouraging the public to embrace the principle that “the police is indeed your friend.”

Speaking during a recent media engagement, Folorunsho shared his firsthand experience with the police during a recent student-centered event — a mountain hike designed to promote leadership, personal development, and civic responsibility among young Nigerians.

“The police came through for us in an incredible way,” said Folorunsho. “Not only did they provide essential security, they even deployed a helicopter to ensure everything ran smoothly. Their presence and encouragement were deeply impactful.”

He further disclosed that he recently paid a courtesy visit to the Force Headquarters, where he met with Assistant Commissioner of Police ACP Muyiwa Adejobi the Force Public Relations Officer (FPRO) of the Nigeria Police Force.

According to Folorunsho, the visit was part of a broader initiative to foster stronger ties between Nigerian students and law enforcement.

“Our mission is to educate students on the responsibilities, legal boundaries, and civic role of the police. Far too many youths grow up with a deep mistrust of law enforcement. We believe education and engagement are key to rebuilding that trust.”

Driving Youth Empowerment Through Edutainment

Tayo Folorunsho is a leading voice in Nigeria’s fast-growing edutainment movement — a powerful fusion of education and entertainment aimed at equipping students with real-world skills, civic awareness, and leadership values.

Through his dynamic events — which range from adventurous hikes to tech bootcamps and safety workshops — Folorunsho has impacted thousands of students across secondary and tertiary institutions. His programs often feature strategic collaborations with NGOs, private organizations, and security agencies to create holistic and impactful learning experiences.

With his continued advocacy for law enforcement collaboration and youth empowerment, Folorunsho is redefining how young Nigerians engage with civic institutions — using the power of edutainment to bridge gaps, inspire change, and shape a more informed, confident generation.
