This is so sad

Rip young man..

R.I.P Don't argue when rasked in port Harcourt just give them what they want without saying fimm.
As for the doctors, Nigerian doctors are one of the most heartless in the world they will never save life first I have experienced it first hand right before my eyes my friend died they are always sad. drifted and frustrated.

I weep for my country. ..las las i go denounce naija..

Nigerian hospitals can never save a soul. It's always money, money and money. They even know nothing about first aid and emergency

NMA wont see this unethical pratice,they only know how to strike for salary increment.....

Naija style at work.


All naija doctors are good at is opening their own private hospitals and going on strike to shut down govt owned hospitals.

Bunch of crooks.

We don't value human lives in this country

Chie what a Shame why do most Nigerians think money is everything.

Oh my

Is this datta hospital in woji? Nonsense hospital

So sad....

dey shud seal the useless hospital/ jail the Doc.

This is Buharis Nigeria


If you are not YUSUF Buhari... Nobody will attend to you

This is BARBARIC.
Highly unacceptable.
How long do we continue with this prevalent issue?!

Life is business

We are not praying for things like this to happen, but don't blame the Nigerian doctors there are they for business, they have their responsibilities and people who depend on them. Most of Nigerian private hospitals are on rented apartment so they pay rent, pay the workers and equip the hospital with medications needed to care for patients all at the expense of their money.

So if they used the necessary medication for Mr A without him paying for it, there will be no medication for Mr B when he comes for it. Hospitals are not charity organization, even in government hospitals the health officers do make account to the appropriate authorities

So save the hatred and hash words and reason it as a business. The cost of managing a hospital is higher this days, try to listen to doctors side of the stories.

And the hospital wasnt burnt

PH guys no dey sharp where dem suppose sharp

All I will say to this is...

When hospitals have been left hanging after patients have not paid their bills, and flee...leading to hospital not being able to meet its financial obligaitons, which affects service to patients who do pay their bills....

Heartlessness is in order.

Sorry, but for once, try to see things from the other side. Hospitals need money to pay for stuff. Sometimes, it comes from the salaries of medical staff paying for 'indigent patients'.

You cannot equate your phone with your life. The doctors on the other hand didn't try at all. A young man full of life died out of negligence.

Rest in peace .

Nawa o

This is so painful. Vibrant young man. He didn't know he won't see 2019. Let's be careful this period biko. And as for those doctors who had the opportunity to save him but were more interested in money, God will judge them. As for the robbers, may they die a slow and painful death.
