my rich dad took me 2 d most sophisticated private hospital in warri when death attacked my body. upon examination d doctor refered us 2 luth- dat is where dis kind of sickness can be managed. my 1st day @ luth, jesus christ, as @8am d no they gave me- i had 2 wait 4 about 2000 people b/4 i could see any doctor!. bizard experience. when i finally saw a doctor @ 4pm, he could not afford 2 spend more than 10mins with me because of others. what can d govt do 2 stop us frm dieing?

What illness do you have?

If its not common then you will need specialist treatment which will be scarce and costly.

thank u nwanimo. i dont even know d name yet. @ luth it was like d doctors were confused on what 2 do &wanted 2 use me has experiment. upon examination by d doctors @ a fedral medical centre, d doctor said "dis is another version of this sickness. we have not seen it like dis b/4)". i saw dat some of d patient in d over crowded smelling lobby were being attacked by death. it was on dia forehead, backside, , name it. d govt hav completely neglected our health care system. something has 2 be done about dis.

this is on d political section because 2 stop death from killing us especially thou sickness & diseses, d govt has 2 be involved because d level of pollution in nigeria today has gotten 2 a cresendo. a sizable chunk of our population cannot live without medication. many u see walking on d street are sick & dieing, even children. how can we stop death?

i now see why our fat belly, jombo paid politicians cannot go 2 hospitals in nigeria. @ d federal hospital where i went for treatment, their bedspread was a write off, it was very filty. i complained & d doctors said "is this why you are here? we will be glad if you can replace it 4 us or, better go & contest d govnorship election so dat u 'll be able 2 do something about d state of our health care system". we have 2 realise that our people, educated or illitrates are our greatest asset why let dem die?

what is d major cause of death in nigeria? in d media u read of 50 people died in a road side accident involving buses on d highway. 50 people wasted without a war uhm.
d one i want us to focus on is sickness & disease. malaria is an epidermic claiming lives especially our children. many adults are down with thyphod, cancer, hiv, diabeties & d govt is just folding her hands. i strongly believe dat these is as a result of poor waste mgt system in nigeria where people live in an unbelievabe dirty environment

i only know 2 states in nigeria that provides water for its people-lagos & ogunstate. lagos pipes were laid some 6 years ago. some of them were laid inside very bad smelling dirty gutters. many of the pipes have broken now & this bacteria infected gutter waters, dear lord jesus, finds its way into d pipes and people all over lagos use these water, full of germs to bath & i have seen many who use it to cook especilly in d local canteens. tell me how people will escape sickness under these circumstances.

dead vehicle from d developed world are dumped in nigeria. in germany i was told no car or bus there is up to 5yr old. for d sake of saving our environment, we have 2 implement such a policy. if we fully understand d effect of carbon monoxide(frm cars, generators, gas flairing etc) dat we breath in everyday,then we shouldn't expect 2 live up to 50yrs when we are suppose 2 do over 140yrs. remember d news of a whole family dat died of fumes instantly without warning from a gen they didnt wan't people to steal

The worst thing is you dont have to be a rich nation to provide good health care to your people.

Just look at Cuba.

If the doctor doesn't seem to know what they are talking about seek a 2nd opinion.

At the very least the should carry out some tests such as blood tests and give you something in the meantime to minimise your discomfort.

Yeah - In Germany most of the taxi's are new mercedes benzs.

After they have been used for a few years they are normally sent down to Nigeria.

Behold!
You sick giant of Africa.
