Once upon a time, there was a young and ambitious doctor named Doctor Vwahre.
She had just completed her medical education at Babcock University, where her parents had sacrificed greatly to provide her with the best education possible.
Doctor Vwahre had hopes and dreams of using her medical skills to make a difference in her community and society as a whole.
After her induction as a Nigerian doctor, Doctor Vwahre began her internship at General Hospital in Odan, Lagos Island.
However, she soon discovered that the hospital was plagued by neglect and corruption.
The only elevator in the hospital had been in disrepair since 2018, and there was no running water.
The money that was meant to fix the elevator had been embezzled, leaving the lives of the hospital staff and patients in danger.
Despite the risks, Doctor Vwahre remained dedicated to her work.
She woke up every day with bright hopes for the future, knowing that her housemanship at the hospital was coming to an end.
She had less than two weeks left to complete her training and was excited about what lay ahead.
One fateful afternoon, Doctor Vwahre decided to go and pick up some food that she had ordered online.
She entered the faulty elevator, unaware of the danger that awaited her.
Suddenly, disaster struck.
The elevator plummeted from the 10th floor to the ground, shaking the foundation of the hospital.
It took an hour for Doctor Vwahre to be rescued from the debris, but it was too late.
Despite her cries for help and her desperate desire to live, Doctor Vwahre succumbed to her injuries.
The loss of Doctor Vwahre was a tragic reminder of the devastating effects of corruption and anyhowness in Nigeria.
The culture of mediocrity and negligence had claimed yet another promising life.
It is a painful truth that corruption kills, and it is a problem that must be addressed urgently.
Nigeria must confront its culture of anyhowness and corruption.
The government must take responsibility for ensuring that public funds are used for their intended purposes and that essential services, like healthcare, are properly maintained.
The citizens must also play their part by holding their leaders accountable and refusing to participate in corrupt practices.
Doctor Vwahre’s death should serve as a wake-up call for Nigeria.
The country cannot continue to lose its best and brightest to a culture of mediocrity.
It is time for change, for Nigeria to rise above corruption and create a future where young talents like Doctor Vwahre can thrive and make a difference.
