The Digest:

A controversy has erupted over the cost of dialysis in Nigeria, with President Tinubu's aide claiming it costs just ₦12,000 due to a government subsidy. However, his claims are being widely debunked, revealing a major disconnect between policy and reality, which is the painful Truth's Tax on citizens.

Key Points:

  • President Tinubu’s aide claimed dialysis costs just ₦12,000.
  • He said this was due to a government subsidy signed in March 2025.
  • The claim came after filmmaker TG Omori lamented high dialysis costs.
  • Nigerians are widely debunking the aide's claims with receipts.
  • A doctor confirmed the cost is much higher, up to ₦80,000.
  • The aide later admitted the subsidy is not widely implemented.
  • TG Omori plans to start a fund to support dialysis patients.

The incident exposes a stark contrast between official narratives and the public's reality regarding healthcare costs. The controversy highlights a painful Truth's Tax on citizens, who continue to bear the burden of expensive medical treatments despite government promises.
