There have been comments on social media mocking Folarin Falana AKA Falz for undertaking a minor knee surgery in the UK rather than in Nigeria or even in Anambra State being a strong advocate of Peter Obi and his giant strides and for his political activism against such medical tourism by people in govt. But which people are reminded that Falz is not a govt official and he is not using public funds for the medical tourism. But the fact is that Falz also engages in medical tourism for something as simple as a knee injury.

Just a few weeks back, same Falz did a video mocking d CJN, an elderly man in his 70s for being on a wheel chair and seeking medical care in d UK. We never knew Falz was battling an ailment also. Same for Charley Boy who while he was battling prostrate cancer all this while was mocking politicians on health grounds till he revealed about two months ago that he just underwent prostrate surgery.

The big question about Falz is why should a young man in his 20s require a surgery to fix a knee injury sustained not in an auto accident but on d football field? As he is not a career footballer, ordinarily d injury should heal on its own (since Oct 2022 or so) but the fact that it has not healed and he had to go to the UK to seek help means there are serious underlying health issues the young man is facing. If his knee can't heal in his 20s, what happens to an injury in his 50s or when he clock 70 like Tinubu and d CJN he mocked in his video? Are we to expect amputation? We scream "God forbid". But Falz has very serious health conditions that's beyond UCH Ibadan, St Nicholas and all d elite hospitals that have sprang up in Lagos in d last few years where even d VP Osinbajo had d confidence to do his own knee surgery. So rather than mock Falz, let's pray for him and also pray he and his likes have sense never, and never use health to mock anyone, especially an elder whose age you hope to attain and surpass someday!!

The boy is not serious at all.

Point of correction, Falz isn't in his 20s, he's 32. Doesn't overshadow the reason he had to go to the UK for knee surgery in the first place though.

Why doesn't this bother you guys so much?

Our common humanity demands that we speak out. Also Falz is a public figure who has made a career of calling others out

falz did not use tax payers money to travel to UK, he is a private citizen so he can travel to kafachan to do whatever.

Is he a politician?

Read properly the import of the thread. The young man possibly has serious underlying disease that has made an ordinary knee from football not to heal after six months warranting surgery abroad rather than Nigeria. Politician or no politician, let him take care of his own health rather than mocking the health of others who at more tha. Twice his age are still walking without crutches
