JOHESU Asks Nigerians To Blame FG Over Healthcare Disruption

The Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) has urged Nigerians to hold the Federal Government responsible for the hardship being experienced across the country’s healthcare system following its ongoing strike.

According to the union, the strike became inevitable after the government failed to address longstanding demands despite several engagements. JOHESU recalled that President Bola Tinubu had, in 2023, assured the union that he would mandate the appropriate ministry, department, or agency to resolve the issues raised.

However, the union lamented that no concrete action has been taken since then, leaving health workers with no option but to withdraw their services.

JOHESU maintained that the suffering of patients and other Nigerians in need of medical attention could have been avoided if the Federal Government had honoured its commitments, stressing that responsibility for the disruption lies squarely with the authorities.

Having a mark of prostration is not the same thing as having fear of God.
Fear of God is shown through character, actions, and the way a person treats others.

So can we truly say that a 40-year-old man who behaves foolishly fears God?

Nigerian Govt Drops Meta & X as Defendants, Amends Cyberbullying Charges Against Sowore Over Tinubu Post

The Nigerian government has amended criminal charges against activist and ex-presidential candidate Omoyele Sowore for cyberbullying President Bola Tinubu. Filed in December 2025 at the Federal High Court, the revised charge sheet now contains two counts, removing Meta and X (formerly Twitter) as co-defendants. Sowore is accused of posting on August 25, 2025, that Tinubu is a “criminal” and lied about ending corruption. The government alleges these posts were false and intended to cause public disorder. The case is ongoing before the Federal High Court in Abuja.

He warned that paying ransom only strengthens criminal groups and encourages more kidnappings. The minister urged families and communities to report cases to security agencies instead of negotiating with abductors. He also advised Nigerians to stop supplying bandits with food or support, stressing that public cooperation is vital to ending banditry nationwide.

The Federal Government has commenced the recruitment of young medical professionals to serve as National Health Fellows, a presidential initiative aimed at fostering a new generation of leaders in the health sector.

The program targets the selection of thirteen youths from the thirteen local government areas of Nasarawa State, with the goal of strengthening local capacity for health system reform and improving service delivery, particularly for rural communities.

Implemented by the Federal Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, in collaboration with state health ministries and development partners, the National Health Fellows program seeks to equip young professionals with leadership and management skills in primary healthcare facilities across Nigeria’s 774 local government areas. Each local government area will host one health fellow.

The current session focuses on selecting fellows for Nasarawa State, with the selection panel evaluating applicants on areas of competence that will enhance healthcare delivery in rural communities. The panel emphasizes that the recruitment process will be merit-based, ensuring fairness, transparency, and credibility.

Selected fellows will serve for a one-year tenure, during which they will contribute to healthcare reforms and youth leadership development at both national and state levels.

This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to developing youth leadership in the health sector while addressing critical gaps in rural healthcare delivery.

Wahala Don Happen Oo! Resident Doctors Suspend Strike After Talks With FG, But Say Matter Never Finish

Wahala don happen for Nigeria’s health sector as the Association of Resident Doctors (ARD) has suspended its planned nationwide strike earlier fixed for Monday, January 12, 2026. The decision followed fresh engagements with the Federal Government, with the North-Central caucus of the association announcing the suspension in the interest of patients while discussions continue. However, caucus leader, Dr Fanen Dogoh, stressed that the issues that led to the strike threat remain unresolved. The doctors had planned industrial action over the government’s failure to honour a Memorandum of Understanding with NARD. Key demands include the reinstatement of doctors sacked from Federal Teaching Hospital, Lokoja, over union activities, and payment of outstanding salaries and allowances, including 18 months’ arrears owed in institutions such as FTH Makurdi and UITH Ilorin. Other grievances include delayed entry salaries, unpaid promotion arrears and non-implementation of reviewed professional allowances. The association warned it may resume the strike if concrete action is not taken.

Wahala Don End: FG Finally Signs Deal With ASUU, Approves 40% Pay Rise & Full Pensions for Professors!

Abeg, wahala don end for Nigerian universities! The Federal Government and ASUU (Academic Staff Union of Universities) are set to shake hands on a historic agreement this Wednesday, January 14, 2026, that promises to change the game for lecturers across the country.

The official signing will hold at 11am in Abuja, according to a circular from the Ministry of Education sent to vice-chancellors and registrars of federal universities nationwide. And yes, attendance is mandatory!

So, what’s in the bag? First, a juicy 40% salary increase for academic staff and beefed-up pension benefits. Under the new pension plan, professors will retire at 70 on pensions equivalent to their full annual salaries—a major win that ASUU has been fighting for years.

The deal also introduces a new university funding model with dedicated allocations for research, libraries, labs, equipment, and staff development. Plus, a National Research Council will now fund research with at least 1% of Nigeria’s GDP.

The agreement comes after years of tension. In December 2025, FG and ASUU finally concluded renegotiations of the 2009 FGN-ASUU agreement, ending a crisis that stalled talks for over 16 years. The new deal takes effect from January 1, 2026, with a three-year review plan.

The Ministry says this milestone shows the government’s commitment to industrial peace, better teaching conditions, and sustainable growth in education, all in line with the President’s Renewed Hope Agenda.

Na so! Nigerian lecturers finally get proper pay and pension benefits, while students can breathe a sigh of relief knowing that strikes might finally reduce.

Afghan National Sentenced to 15 Years in U.S. Prison for Plotting 2024 Election Day ISIS Terror Attack

Abdullah Haji Zada, an Afghan national and lawful U.S. permanent resident, has been sentenced to 15 years in federal prison for conspiring with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) to carry out a violent attack targeting the 2024 U.S. Election Day. Authorities revealed that Zada attempted to acquire two AK-47-style rifles and roughly 500 rounds of ammunition, intending to use them in a mass-casualty attack designed to disrupt the democratic process.

The investigation was conducted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), which used intelligence and counterterrorism monitoring to identify Zada, execute search warrants, seize evidence, and prevent the plot. U.S. officials emphasized that ISIS continues to encourage attacks on American soil, particularly around symbolic events such as national elections.

Following the completion of his sentence, Zada will be handed over to ICE Enforcement and Removal Operations for deportation to Afghanistan. This case underscores ongoing U.S. efforts to safeguard electoral processes and prevent terrorist threats, highlighting the critical role of ICE HSI in dismantling transnational extremist networks.

Nigeria-Based Venezuela Solidarity Group Condemns US Military Strikes, Demands Disclosure of President Nicolás Maduro’s Whereabouts

The Venezuela Solidarity Campaign in Nigeria (VSCN) has strongly condemned recent U.S. military strikes against Venezuela, describing them as acts of imperialist aggression and violations of international law. In a statement issued on January 3, 2026, the group expressed deep concern over the safety and whereabouts of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro following the reported attacks.

VSCN rejected claims that the strikes were aimed at promoting democracy or human rights, arguing instead that they were driven by economic and strategic interests, particularly control over resources. Drawing parallels with past U.S. interventions in countries such as Iraq, Libya, and Afghanistan, the group warned that such actions often result in instability and civilian suffering.

The campaign demanded an immediate halt to U.S. military actions, full transparency on President Maduro’s condition and location, the lifting of sanctions on Venezuela, and accountability for alleged breaches of international law. It also called on the Nigerian government, the African Union, and progressive governments worldwide to speak out against the strikes and urged global solidarity movements to stand with Venezuela’s right to sovereignty and self-determination.
