You people failed this country woefully, look at the results.

Why can't you blame the Nigerian Doctors that fail to acquire more knowledge in treating different ailments?

''Former presidential spokesman Femi Adesina has said that his former principal, Muhammadu Buhari, could have been long dead if he had used Nigerian hospitals.

Adesina, who was a guest during Channels Television‘s special coverage for Buhari’s funeral on Tuesday, said those who criticised the death of Buhari in a London hospital should understand that the former president had always used London hospitals before he was elected president in May 2015.

The former editor said the UK doctors were already familiar with Buhari’s medical history and there was no need to change them.

Adesina said some Nigerian hospitals lacked the facilities and expertise needed for the ex-president’s treatment.''

WHEN CHARACTERS LIKE FEMI, WHO CLAIMS TO BE A PASTOR, SURROUND A LEADER AS CLOSE CONFIDANTS, KNOW THAT THE LEADER IS RACING ON THE HIGHWAY OF FAILURE TO THE PIT OF HISTORICAL DUSTBIN. THEY CONSTITUTE CLOGS ON THE WHEEL OF GOOD GOVERNANCE AND CREATE A FALSE ATMOSPHERE OF PERFORMANCE WITHIN THE CORRIDORS OF POWER.

THEY INVENT REASONS IN ABSURDITY TO JUSTIFY OBSCENITIES. DEPLOYING LYING TOOLS, THEY FENCE-OFF PATRIOTIC PEOPLE WHO COULD HAVE FEARLESSLY AND SELFLESSLY OFFERED ADVICE TO THE LEADER FOR THE PUBLIC GOOD. THESE BEDBUGS ARE THE ALBATROSS OF MOST NIGERIAN LEADERS, INCLUDING JONATHAN, BUHARI AND TINUBU.

I HOPE TINUBU WILL LEARN QUICKLY, BUT THERE SEEMS TO BE NO INDICATION THAT HE IS READY TO CHANGE ANYTIME SOON. WHAT A PITY TOING THE WAY OF ULTIMATE SHAME AS OTHER LEADERS?

NIGERIA NEEDS A SELFLESS PRESIDENT WHO IS KNOWLEDGEABLE, DETRIBALISED, INCLUSIVE BY COMPETENCE, AND PRINCIPLED. DO WE HAVE SUCH A PERSON EVEN IN THE OPPOSITION GROUPS? IF YES, MAYBE HE IS YET TO BE UNVEILED TO THE PUBLIC. GOD BLESS NIGERIA IN CHRIST JESUS' NAME.

Buhari was hospitalized for a long time much of 2016/2017. After some time, we were told that he was recovering gradually. Those who were allowed to go and see him told us that he never recognized anybody. We were told that he was smiling at everybody; people had to introduce themselves to him when they visited. Almost all the ministers, senators and high government functionaries visited for this ritual of familiarization. Finally Buhari came back. His finger prints which were used in programming his office doors couldn't open his office again. Some of us started asking if the sickness reconfigured his finger prints. IMPOSSIBLE! Remember that it was his finger prints that were used in programming the doors before he was hospitalized. Garuba Shehu by his latest confession, invented the "rats" theory; remember the "snake" and "glitche" theories also, telling Nigerians that rats destroyed the door security system wiring in the Aso Rock and that the president has to work from his house for sometime. Moreover, the Buhari that returned from medical treatment allegedly looks younger and far healthier than the Buhari that was hospitalized. We were all happy that our president became very refreshed and younger. Garuba brought the Chinese who installed the doors to come and reprogram them for our recovered, young looking Buhari. The money for that one went the normal Nigerian way. Thereafter, Buhari's fingers started opening the doors. All these happened in August 2017.
A few days ago, during his book launch, Garuba Shehu confessed to Nigerians that the "rat" theory was his invention to deceive Nigerians. So he deliberately deceived us. Nothing will happen and nothing has happened. And immediately after that confession, the same Garuba Shehu announced to us that Buhari has died. Inukwa! Fellow Nigerians, if the first action was a lie, the second one and the third ones are lies as well. Critically examined, Nnamudi kalu alleged postulation that Buhari died in 2017 appears more credible, believable, logical and consistent with sequence of events and realities on ground. Allegedly, the no nonsense Buhari that we voted for wasn't the docile Buhari that returned from hospital and ruled us. Nigerians, Garuba Shehu has dribbled and mumued us. Let's take it in good faith. The game is over.
One day, we will know the details of the "snake" and the "glitche" theories just like this one that is evolving gradually before our eyes now. We shall over come.
Nigeria we hail thee.

Shameless man, I am sure Ade too uses London hospitals as they will also have his records. Those London hospitals if you check have Nigerian doctors. I remember when my friends wife a late oonis daughter put to bed in London, it was a Nigerian doctor an ex shool mate in UI that took delivery.
I hope people like manna bbq aka darling daddy also has his doctors in London just, as his darling daddy had.

You didn't even mention the Commander in Chief of Failure himself in your context, but you mentioned Obi straight up, ahn ahn. At this point, Mr T is the grand master of failure. Obi's failure isn't in the last 3 years, but Mr. Failure's failure is staring us in the face right now.

Tinubu is already a failure, and I mention that because he is the head of the current administration. However, the root cause of the hardship we are facing today lies in the removal of fuel subsidy and the floating of the naira. The truth is, all the top presidential candidates in the 2023 election — apart from Sowore — promised to implement these same policies.

Believe me, even if Obi had won, nothing would have changed once he fulfilled what he promised during his campaign.

Now, why did I mention Obi? It’s because many of you have painted him as some kind of messiah. But as someone who lived in Anambra during his tenure, I can say without bias that he was a total failure as governor.

For the record, I was a student of Anambra State University, Uli, when Peter Obi was governor before I later moved to study nursing at Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi campus.

If we are talking about having an Igbo president, fine, but in terms of actual performance, Peter Obi was a disappointment.

Who is being buried today? I know original Buhari died in 2017.

Except the cloned Buhari is the one being buried today.

I can't be deceived!

Yes, Obi was a disappointment, same as all of these people. But mentioning Obi's name like he is the cause of the current national disappointment without directly mentioning Tinubu's name is what gave me the concern. It's like many people fear to state that Tinubu is a failure. Even nairaland. They have banned me countless times if I mention that Tinubu has failed and I wonder why.

Imagine the statement from one of the so called leaders of a country called Nigeria, In Other words Nigeria is not good enough for a world class health facility, and you're still proud to say it out,haven't you failed woefully, knowing fully well that you're once part of those who once led the country?

But his son Yusuf was managed in a standard Nigerian private hospital when he had an accident.

He was effectively managed in Cedacrest Abuja and fully stabilised before moving him abroad yet we lack expertise.

See eeeh... These lies you people tell will catch up with all of you. One by one... God is not man.

werisetogether:
And he is confident enough to declare this in public?

The ineptitude is on one side.

It is the shamelessness that baffles me

[quote author=geoworldedu post=136111065]Bro, I care about who becomes Nigeria's president, just like you, not because of personal interest but because the people truly deserve a good leader.

90% of my family lives abroad, and I’m a permanent resident myself. But the noise on social media is getting out of hand, mostly from the Obidients. They fail to understand that this is a democracy. People are free to support any candidate of their choice.

As for Nairaland, I don't understand why they would ban you for simply expressing your opinion. Maybe you used a word that violated their rules. I have been calling Tinubu a failure consistently, and no one has banned me for saying the truth.

Maybe they have grouped you among the so-called Obidient noise-makers who bully people online.

Mttchw!

At least there would have been incentives to improve hospitals in Nigeria.What happens to the average Nigerian who could not afford foreign medicals?

Our leaders do not care about Nigerians.

Shame on you Femi Adesina.

Isôkusô. Verbal diarrhoea. So human beings live for eternity abroad.
After helping to collapse the nation's health system, why won't he say Isôkusô?

He shouldn't have died if truly the doctors in UK are experts. He was able to complete his term in his frailty state because as a president he has access to the nation's treasury but when he was out of office, he has little or no money to manager his ailment.

Buhari has been using London hospital before he became President? Same Buhari that couldn't buy his presidential form? Has been patronizing the most expensive private hospital in London? It is either you guys lied about Buhari to us or Buhari laied to you guys.

emkz:
The passing of Buhari speaks to the fragility of human life.

One thing must be said: Buhari is not returning like a cargo; he returns escorted by the highest level of government. A retinue of soldiers await to give him the highest honours due to a military general. This is real pulling out of Buhari. He did not die in disgrace. He did not die in shame. He died at an old age. He died after completing his tenure and sometimes taking drastic decisions to keep the unity of Nigeria intact.

What many may not remember was that some countries refused to sell arms to Nigeria during Jonathan's tenure. I suspect it was because they wanted the insurgency in Nigeria. As such, the military was ill-equipped to tackle the insurgency which did not start under Buhari or Jonathan. When Buhari came into power, he had a meeting with Donald Trump who reversed Obama's policies and sold the super-tucano jets to Nigeria. World leaders also invited Buhari to their G8 summit or so and asked him what he needed. Arms were also sold to Nigeria and we started giving the insurgents a bloody nose.

Buhari also started the AKK gas pipeline which is expected to increase Nigeria's earning capacity from gas.

Buhari also completed the second Niger Bridge and railway projects. Buhari bailed out some states several times when they lacked the capacity to meet salary obligations. He tried to remove subsidy, but when he saw that Nigerians would blame him for the attendant pain and misery, he decided to keep funding it, despite having to borrow to do so. At the end of his administration, he removed fuel subsidy by refusing to make budgetary provisions for it. Tinubu announced it and took the fall.

He is still taking the fall today.

Towards the end of his tenure, Emefiele started an evil naira repainting scheme, in an attempt to demonetize the 2023 elections. Buhari supported the policy and the effects are still ringing on the economy till today. Emefiele is facing the heat for that disastrous policy.

Some people are blaming Buhari for what happened in Lekki. Unfortunately, Buhari has not stated his own side. It would have been fair to finalize how many persons were killed in Lekki, and proper compensation paid to the families of the bereaved. However, the Lekki incident would remain a blight on Buhari's legacy.

Nonetheless, Buhari was trained as a soldier. Soldiers are not exactly trained to lead countries, except they have experts to guide them on how to do things properly. Buhari did not exactly have the right people to help him during his administration. Some of them lacked the discipline, knowledge, wisdom, and patriotism to help the country. They got captured by filthy lucre and forgot the enormous responsibilities they had. Buhari himself complained that he didn't know why those he appointed failed to report his projects.

I think we would have gotten the best of Buhari if we had a younger version of him. He admitted he was already old when he came in.

We pray for his family, associates, and those who were close to him to receive strength to deal with his demise.

Will buhari be judged by whether "he is not returning like a cargo; he returns escorted by the highest level of government. A retinue of soldiers await to give him the highest honours due to a military general" or by how well he governed Nigeria?

did he leave nigeria better than he met it or he left it far worse?

did he improve the living standard of nigerians in any way or he made it worse?

ufotunang:
.. and Femi Adeshina is not even ashamed of saying such a thing

It's a pity

the agbero chairman is appearing and disappearing any time he travels too.nigeria was a country

They are familiar with Buhari's health records! These people and excuses Chai!

So who and who should now be dying in those Nigerian hospitals?
And what stops you from putting it up to standard in terms facilities, equipments and personel?
Some things are better off close to your chest than spilling.

Former presidential spokesman Femi Adesina has said that his former principal, Muhammadu Buhari, could have been long dead if he had used Nigerian hospitals.

This is the most bizarre statement I have come across in recent times.

Is Adesina saying that Nigerian hospitals, if properly equipped, cannot have the capacity to treat Buhari? Nigerian doctors all over the world rank among the best, but we've lost a lot of them to brain drain because of the comatose state of our health infrastructure.

This comment, to me, is the height of insult to our health system. The same one the dead president did nothing to improve on.

In brief, what Adesina has said is that it is the poor Nigerian who deserves the hospitals in the country.

Arrant nonsense!!!!!

Gentledove2001:
Who is responsible for building and equipping new and existing hospitals?

As I’ve said earlier, all our leaders have failed us including the current government and even those being positioned to take over. From Obi, who didn’t build a single hospital or school in eight years, to Atiku, Amaechi, El-Rufai, David Mark, and even “Mr. Half Salary” they’ve all disappointed us.

This country feels doomed.

I don’t want anyone telling me otherwise, because the cheapest thing in the world is talk.

Ara gbawa gi onu Obi gahu😏

Useful edi abani.
