Please go and read the governors statement again. He felt the "tiny growth" around his neck and that is the thyroid area in a human being.

Am tired of the populace defending STUPIDITY. What happens to releasing a statement about being ill and going on a break to seek for "proper" medical attention.
Why build up a lot of controversy about an illness and make all the news media houses agog with all kinds of rumours?
If they had provided adequate medical facilities in the country, will they need to run to abroad for every little thing?

7842I:

So you want him to be crying abi? The people that were supposed to know about his whereabouts knew and that's why they kept calm about the whole thing.

shineureyes: why did you not add standard hospitals to your list of achievements? Try 2 b useful 2 ur generation than supporting mediocrity

i luv to.to die:

you are so dumb & your comment here is so lame & meaningless. You wanna know why ? I'll be back to tell you by modifying this post. Dumb brain. Meanwhile, re-read the whole story to help u figure out your dumbness.

7842I:

C'mon, should this man suddenly cause tension in the polity by making fearful comments about his health which may even cause social tension and endanger the peace of the state? He went quietly, returned quietly and the state is better for it.

eagle,eye:


If he wasn't causing "social tension and endangering the peace of the state" why was the media houses agog with all kinds of rumours about his where about, with one even going as far as saying that he is "dead"?
Why was the opposition calling for his impeachement (on the grounds of improper hand over) if he was generating "social tension" by being silent?

Please, you guys should at least admit that he handled this particular incidence wrongly. No leader is ABOVE MISTAKE.
I like Gov Chime, but he messed up this one time.

agabaI23: They were not. They said Thyroid cancer

Wsdm: So the people that were suppose to know his whereabouts by your assertion are the speaker and unelected aids not the electorate? I am so sorry for your type.

7842I:

You saw the deputy governor doing his work, but you just want this man to give accounts to you. Why did they have a deputy if the governor cannot leave his seat? The electorates are cool, never heard them complaining about the governor, what about you?

The media houses are seeking their pay, the governor is working for his people. No apolgies to nobody.

Evil Brain: I just lost all respect for this guy. Anybody can fall ill, but to disappear from work for 5 months without bothering to give the people you work for any explanation is totally irresponsible. The money he's been using to get the best treatment abroad belongs to the people of Enugu state most of whom would have no hope of decent treatment even for much less serious illneses no thanks to people like Chime.

How hard would it have been to release a statement explaining what was happening 5 months ago? "People of Enugu, I have cancer. Please pray for me" or "People of Enugu, I have to travel abroad to treat a serious illness. I'll be back as soon as I can". If you're going to be absent from work, you have to inform your employers, end of story. There is no excuse for what he did.

And just look at the kind of callous statements he's been making since he came out of hiding, disgraceful! In a sane society, this guy would be removed from office for abandoning his duty. In a sane society, he could never hope to win an election ever again. But I'm willing to bet that some people will soon start promoting him as a potential "Ibo president".

Nigeria is like a battered housewife. We keep going back to our abusers, we keep defending them. And as long as we continue, we'll keep getting pounded.

Eyahhhh. I rest my case, since the governor is not accountable to anybody.

~Bluetooth:


You just won the post of the day award.

7842I:

So, for your mind, after doing a proper handover and agreeing with his house of assembly, he will just go on air and announce to the masses that he has cancer? How many times have you been sick and announced it to everybody around you?. We Nigerians are hyppooccrittess, just because this man is governor you will want to subject him to inhumane treatments in his trying period! That is so heartless of you!

7842I:

That state has standard hospitals, UNTH, Parklane and Niger Foundation with foreign doctors, go and check. And I find nothong wrong with a citizen who can pay for his medical bills to be forced to take treatment at home just because he is governor, where is his fundamental human rights?
And you, yes you, has anybody ever forced you to take treatment in any place you don't like? How did you feel afterwards?

Awoofawo:


You are seriously lacking in wisdom and grace to understand meaning of holding public office holders accountable for their action and inaction!

On the day they start making use of Nigeria medical facilities, start sending their children to Nigeria public schools, when they start experiencing what the ordinary citizens in the street go through. That day is when they will sit up and realize they are mean to serve the common interest and not their pockets. That day is when they will do the needful and free the massive from neo-slavery!

clemmonce: it is dumb and it got 34 likes. and stil countinso every body is dumb you are the only wise man. you dumb and wack

SELFWORTH:

Don't mind them. That is why the country is in shambles. The abnormal is deemed normal and some fools will still defend it.

They want Nigeria to change but many have no idea how to achieve this. Chime and his colleagues were irresponsible in the way they have dealt with the matter.

I have nothing but contempt for him and his colleagues who believe his position is an inheritance rather than a public serving role. God will remove all of them in due course. When God hears the cry of the innocent who cannot afford treatment abroad like these spoilt politicians, He will REMOVE the pharaohs of Nigeria.

emperorchedda: My friend u'r such a huge fool! D only reason Sullivan cannot use d medical facilities of his state is simply because dey r below par. If u hv d best hospital at ur backyard then y take d stress 2 travel 4 long hours inorder 2 get treatment in anoda country. If unth, parklane and co are standard y ddnt sullivan go der since it ll b much easier and save him much stress? Der is no doubt dat d man is a big liar 4 deceivin d public wiv d so called"finding out about the cancer only wen he arrived london". He wz critically ill b4 leavin 9ja. Dat man jst showed he doznt hv his pple at hrt 4 not keepin dem posted abt his condition while receivin treatment because dis ll help in calmin s nerves of d pple. D state wz nevr calm while he wz away so I wonder whr u got ur calmness 4rm, der wz evn a grp named Save Enugu dat called 4 sth 2 b done abt d so called gov's disappearance so whr doz d calmness arise. Dis man is our servant so he holds d responsibility of tellin us whreva he is because he's alwayz needed (and not jst 4rm few class dat ll kw whr he is). So nigga I advice u stfu and stop revealing ur level of ignorance 2 d public! @748....

7842I:

Sharrap there, everybody should have a right to be treated where he wants if he can afford it. There are enough good hospitals in that state.

7842I:

So you want him to be crying abi? The people that were supposed to know about his whereabouts knew and that's why they kept calm about the whole thing.

Rooneyboy:

I for one know Niger foundation.
Though private(owned by the catholic church, funding comes straight from the vatican )

World class hospital.

One of the characteristics of Democratic rule is openness with/to the Masses/electorate. In proper democracies, power ultimately resides with the voting public, not with the elected officials.
