Nigeria Has No "AMBALANCE" 😂
<p>Come closer, let me tell you something. 😂</p><p>So, I stepped out to buy something in my area. When I got to the shop, there were quite a number of people waiting to be attended to, so I had to sit down on one of the chairs.</p><p>As I sat there scrolling through my phone, a man walked in and sat on another chair close by. Apparently, his friend was among the people standing and waiting for their turn.</p><p>While the man sat there pressing his phone, he stumbled on some popular news and immediately started talking. He was going on and on about how the accident wasn’t salvaged on time, comparing it to the UK- where, according to him, it would have been handled before it escalated.</p><p>Where am I going with this story?</p><p>Wait first.</p><p>After spending a hot minute complaining about doctors, nurses, and hospitals in the country, he finally dropped this one: Nigeria doesn’t have enough AMBALANCE.</p><p>You know that reflex reaction you give when you hear something shocking? That sharp look. Gbam! 😳</p><p>That was exactly what happened when I heard him say it.</p><p>AMBALANCE?</p><p>As how na? 😂</p><p>What shocked me even more was that he didn’t say it once. He kept saying it throughout the entire conversation with his friend, with full confidence.</p><p>I didn’t even know when I started muttering ambulance under my breath, trying to help him. Maybe he didn’t hear me, but I honestly tried to reach out. 🥲</p><p>AMBALANCE is not a word in the dictionary. 🙏</p><p>Please don’t join him to say the wrong thing.</p><p>And the confidence he had while saying it? Boldly! 😂</p><p>O ga o!</p><p>Please, the correct word is AMBULANCE, not AMBALANCE.</p><p>Let us rest. 😭 Let my eye colour be white in peace. 🥲</p><p>Happy New Year! 🎆🎆</p><p><br/></p><p><a class="tc-blue external-link external-link external-link external-link" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/happynewyear" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HappyNewYear</a> <a class="tc-blue external-link external-link external-link external-link" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/happynewyear2026" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#happynewyear2026</a> <a class="tc-blue external-link external-link external-link external-link" href="https://twocents.space/insights/tag/ambulance" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ambulance</a></p>
