Days ago inside Anambra nysc camp, a group came into the camp to lecture Corp Members on the importance of Blood Donation and also seek for Volunteers.

Hours later I was eating at the Mami Market when I overheard two Yoruba Corp Members discussing in our dialect on different topic regarding the Blood Donation. One of the guy said "When a patient receive blood from another person, the patient "Blood group" will change to the Donor Blood group.

In order not to sound rude. I tried all possible best not to mediate in the discussion but later I had to reconsider just to educate my colleague and tribal brothers. I had to greet and stylishly ask for the name, platoon number and Institution attended with courses. My new beloved brothers attended one of the prominent Institution in our region while both study Management courses with good grades. Told them my course and field. Infact I had to inform them I have over 2years experience in medical laboratory. I tried my possible best to educate my newly found brothers on the wrong assertion they made regarding Blood Donation and transfusion. Still went deep why proper screening of blood are needed before transfusion. Went deeper using simple terms to explain different blood groups, the Rh factor, the groups that can donate to each other and also differential between universal donor and recipient group.

After the little class, the look on my beloved brothers already informed me that they do not agree with me regarding the notion that "Blood group do not change by receiving from others, infact receiving blood from unmatched donor may lead to death". The guys were ready to argue it out but unfortunately I'm not in for that at the moment. They even mocked and laugh at me🤣🤣....... (Ignoramus 🤣🤣🤣)

The major reason for this post is because of the trending issue regarding the last Election and Post-Election matters. Pre-election period major Political grassrooted analysts stated reasons why a particular candidate might not win among the contenders but the candidate supporters and party failed to study the highlighted reasons and work on them. Rather they chose to abuse, mock and threatened anyone who doesn't aligned with their ideology. The election came and it's was so glaring they lost but with their usual attitude they believe they won even at the sight of glaring evidence.

Post-Election! The tribunal serve the judgement days ago and has predicted by many legal luminaries that followed up with the court case, that in the absence of credible evidence to back up acclaimed point raised by the losers. The judgement may not favor or go in the direction of the losers.

Unfortunately, in the usual manner of a candidate supporters by undermining every Institutions that do not favor their candidate. Slur and cuss words were used on the judges and the Institution.

Whenever being asked the basis why they think the judges are bias even when the judges had to use almost 10hours to elaborate and give credible explanation for the basis of the judgement on every point raised. These gullible followers will refer you to a comedian or singer social media pages. Some will even refer you to a YouTube video made by an "Animal Scientist" just because he was opportune to work in a media station.

My candid advice to Nigerians is to follow the positions of luminaries and recognize Authorities in a particular field. Using the positions of people who have nothing to do with a particular field is detrimental to the Nation and make us look so gullible in international communities.

This is the same issue that occur few years ago when people start sharing information online that drinking and bathing with salt water will cure ebola (Viral Disease) which later lead to further death due to excessive exposure to salt. Without trying to figure out whether the information is from the right authority or an inclined individual in the field, some gullible Nigerians believe it. Another, is a Popular pastor trying to link the cause of Coronavirus (Viral Disease) to 5G network (Do this even sound right to a normal thinking individual). Nigerians should understand that having millions of followers on a platform or on Social Media do not equate to being knowledgeable on a particular field or topics.

It's only in Nigeria we tends to follow a medical advice given by a Sociologist over a trained, licensed and practicing Medical Doctor.

It's only in Nigeria an Animal Scientist (on Arise Tv) believe he know more over hundreds of trained lawyers, SANs and Judges on Court related matters.

It's only in Nigeria our best Economy analysts (on TVs) study Agriculture Sciences, Geology or Other Unrelated Courses.

It's only in Nigeria an Accounting graduate will think he has the best information regarding Blood Transfusion and other Medical Related information over an experience Medical Laboratory Scientist.
Ire ooo.
