God punish our rulers!! Why can't they fix our hospitals? They money they spend on checkup alone yearly will fix so many roads and open some industries in this country


If them like make dem go for checkup in heaven, one day, they gon die

So simply because he is the president, he cannot travel on a private visit, otherwise motives such as ill-health will be imputed?

Meanwhile, the president received the report of the national conference, a day before he travelled to Germany, in a ceremony that was shown live on TV and Mr president did not appear like someone who needed "urgent" medical treatment.

"Chukwu is grossly misinforming the public," the source said.

Countering reports from both the Federal Government and the Ministry of Health in Nigeria claiming almost N1.9bn in funding was released to fight the Ebola virus, doctors working at the isolation center at the Infectious Disease Hospital (IDH) in Yaba, Lagos, say that they have yet to receive any financial support, and as conditions there deterioriate, so does staff morale.

its so funny seeing you show your self up as a stark hypocrite - last year when lasg doctors were striking you were runing your mouth about democracy etc. today you are staunchly defending the madness of those who feed you.

how is recruitment for jea going? are you sweating, worried you will be bumped down a notch or two?

Ifeanyi,as a medical doctor,you do your own diagnosis on patients by looking at them through a television to know if they are sick or not? Your certificate needs to be withdrawn. You're no different from thos ghana boys who hawk and sell agbo drinks in Lagos.

Check your dictionary (even if it's Tinubu's Progressive Learners Dictionary) for the definition of "urgent" and thank me later.

GEJ, quick recovery. Election stil dey o

Kingsley1000: Wish him quick recuperation.but wetin happen to our hospitals here,why germany?....that money u people lavish on medical care oversea make una use am develop our own to world standard

.

Why should he seek medical care here when the state of our hospitals and the health sector in general is nothing to write about. Even the striking doctors are adding more salt to injury. The truth is, this country doesn't look like it will develop and so getting the best of what you want elsewhere is no bad idea.

Quick Recovery Sir!

If anything happens to Goodluck?

Ask that woman, Oboli, or wetin be her name sef?

It's very disheartening that the President has no confidence in the health care system of the country he governs. It is a self-indictment if his failure in that sector.

There are a handful of decent hospitals in Lagos and Abuja that can boast of having cutting-edge medical equipment.

The billion-naira question is: why can't he make use of these hospitals, at least for mild medical cases?

I can't imagine Angela Merkel being taken to the US for medical attention. Absolutely impossible!

I wish our President good health and long life.

However, he needs to sit up and do the needful in our health sector!

ceo4eva: Contrary to official claims that President Goodluck Jonathan travelled to Germany on a private visit, LEADERSHIP authoritatively gathered yesterday that the president actually took ill and left for Germany to seek medical care.

Efforts to get a confirmation from the Presidency failed up until the time of going to press, as several calls to his spokesman, Dr Reuben Abati, did not go through and he didn’t respond to an email enquiry either.

Similarly, the senior special assistant to the president on public affairs, Dr Doyin Okupe, did not pick or return several calls to his mobile number last night.

President Jonathan left for Germany yesterday after performing the closing ceremony of the National Conference on Thursday.

Prior to his departure, presidential spokesman Abati had issued a terse statement saying the president would be making a private visit to Germany as from Friday (yesterday)and would be accompanied by some of his principal aides.

It was gathered that the president, on arrival in Germany, headed for a private hospital for medical check-up.

It could not however be confirmed if he went to the same hospital he had visited with his wife last year when the first lady faced some health challenges.

Before his sudden departure for Germany on Thursday, President Jonathan was billed to host members of the just-concluded National Conference to a dinner at the Presidential Villa, but the programme was cancelled at the dying minute.

Although no official reason was given for the cancellation, it was gathered that the development was connected with the president’s state of health which required urgent attention.

An authoritative source in the Presidency told LEADERSHIP that despite assurances that the president would return soon from his trip, it was not likely as his health situation was not too good. He said there was uneasy calm and anxiety in the Presidential Villa yesterday over the state of health of the president.

Meanwhile, the situation has also elicited concern from prominent Ijaw (President Jonathan’s ethnic group) political leaders, some of whom converged on the home of a prominent elder statesman from the ethnic group in Abuja to deliberate on the matter. A source privy to the meeting hinted that the Ijaw sons were considering sending a delegation to visit the president.

The source said before the meeting ended, it was agreed that clearance would be obtained from the Presidential Villa on whether the president is in a state to receive visitors before it would be decided on who would visit him.

Some people had speculated about Mr Jonathan’s health just before his trip to Washington, DC, United States, where he attended the 2014 US-Africa Summit early this month.

Quite true that we should be using our internal resources.


But our doctors should also shun dabbling into partisan politics.

In Germany doctors remain doctors and not tools being manipulated by opposition elements to undermine the government.


Nigerian doctors really need to sit up. It is not only Jonathan as most Nigerians would readily patronise foreign doctors were it not for cost considerations.


It is goes beyond attacking dissenting opinions...

It will be a big relief if he moves on from there. Pls stay in germany dont come back.

If true then Allah grant him good health. people in this country have lost it truly. someone maybe sick but all people can wish the person is misery. someone is killed and all we can wish him is damnation or more deaths. people cry for help and all we do is rejoice or jubilate. Are we as Nigerians still humans? pray its not true.

Best wishes and good health Mr Presido.
sai APC and remain so.but above all we are all humans!!! we should care for each other.

Billyonaire: The Young man has been overstretached by Nigeria"s myriads of chronic problems occassioned by the Oligarchs who bastardize the collective wells and wealth of the common-man. Jonathan must stay alive to revamp the destinies of children who have no shoes, and capitalists that know no joy.

We are in this mess together. Jonathan must not give up. The common need of man is happiness but greed has made us suffer. We have forgotten our core destinies.

GEJ till I see another choice, as a matter of facts, GEJ till 2019.

Berem, go back to bed, your nemesis is here.

Well said

Wishing u quick recovery sir

you see why I refused to take you on on the other thread? a PDP thug,that is what you are.
you lose all objectivity and you want people to take you serious?? you and your president are a sick joke!

a thread is started about your president hopping of to Germany for healthcare, and the only post you make on the issue,you mention that doctors are being used by the opposition, the exact same thing Jonathan was said to have complained about according to senator mark.
must we politicise every damn thing in this country

the NARD president is a northerner doing his residency in AKTH. does it now mean you sack 16000 resident doctors because their president lives in an APC state?
dear Lord, deliver us from Jonathan and the I.diots in his government.

doctors strike for legitimate reasons and you brand them APC? is this how low we've gone in this country?
when gbawe,berem and co. complain, one is tempted to think they are just crying wolf but this one has hit closer to home and I find it disgusting.

lord have mercy!

ceo4eva am surprised leadership carried this gist bcs such gists are often carried by Sahara reporters

For some reason they just think oyinbos have magic wands for sickness.They die too and the doctors don't have answers for everything,but because they get almost all the supports they need from the government,the people and foreign donors like african thieves that waste their country's resources on them,they strive to make things better.

All that money wasted in going to germany for medical check up at a time when the country medical doctors are on strike as a result inadequate health care system could have been put back into the health care system.

You have a way of sounding grievously preposterous.

Jonathan is a politician in case you have chosen to develop a selective amnesia on that.


You chose as NARD cum NMA to deploy all means and avenues within your purview to press home your demand. Infact you went the whole by embarking on what is generally a self-serving strike to paralyse, in all intents and purposes, the national health architecture.


Jonathan, as the boss of all bosses, on his own part elected to serve you a dose of your own medicine by exploiting some intricate nuances in the national employment laws.

You forgot that there are sundry privileges you guys are enjoying at the instance of the government which are withdrawable should political considerations be factored in.


Dude, stick with what you know as you apparently dont know jack about politics and political expediency.

Some of you guys were initially bragging about how the government was going to come back to you cap in hand.

I am sure reality is gradually sinking in as some of you guys are presently scurrying from one media house to the other to whip public sympathy and sentiment. The rest, like you, have been shouting themselves hoarse while trying to drum support from whoever cares to listen.

It is so ironical that you guys are falling back to the rest of society for support. The same people you guys, in rather egotistical vainglory, deem of lower intellectual capacity.

Get well soon presido, b4 they say ur scared of loosing the 2015 election.

Abeg when will our leaders start receiving treatment in our local hospital when they sick? Except for when they sick upstairs.

This man never stop being shame to nigeria !

Look closely and see I am seeing
Something is eating up that man

babyosisi: Hmm
Every force of darkness wanting to pull down Goodluck Ebele Nwa Jonathan
What are you waiting for?
[size=28pt]Die die die!![/size]

make jona die abi wetin u talk now.. xtian with dis dem prayer point sef

Nma guys go soon flood dis thread

I wish him the best.

But why can Mr president not provide at least one world class facility in Nigeria?

This is very disgraceful putting your life in the hand of foreign doctors. This means that Germany can assassinate him if the choose. There is something very wrong about these arrangements it should in our constitution that a serving president can not get medical treatment from abroad.


Abacha that we love to vilify never set foot in a foreign hospital during his reign.

Yeeeeeeh! EBOLA don catch Jona. Chei!
