Who is spreading this fake news. There's no way that hospital will cost £3500 per day. Cheaper private hospitals cost more.
This is even close to what NHS ( Public) charge private patients.

Punch Newspaper published this news 2 days ago.

That hospital is elites hospital and the amount per night is true

Stop defending rubbish .

Allow the DEAD TO REST.

Why did he not have a DNAR in place...... No point wastng taxpayers money any more.......

Imagine if they managed to resuscitate him......... 😊😂

Haydens:
A.P.C is nothing but a vampire sent to suck on Nigeria's economy while letting the real owners die.

Game played by few and suffered by many that wished it upon themselves.

How much does an average Nigerian use in feeding himself and his family ? But see how much Buhari spends in treating himself daily.

Nailed it.

Unfortunately those few are always thinking they are part of the game.

Unknown to them, they are nothing but useful idiotic slaves.

By hailing their oppressors, they are hoping to get a seat at the table or feed from the crumbs that fall from the table

No Presidential benefits to treat him like before. I guess that's what happened

Sigh... How much would a standard hospital in Lagos or Abuja have charged to give the same treatment per day?!!

An average Nigerian leader and politician is an unrepentant waster of public funds.

In 2025, see what yhu just typed. Later yhur type will be claiming "woke".

A man who didn't let Nigeria rest when alive, why should he be allowed to rest because he is died? Btw, no rest for the wicked - dead or alive.

Imagine after 8 years. Buhari couldn't boast of a standard hospital in the Country, probably because he doesn't care. So bad!

Tjra:
Even your favorite Obi goes to London for medical treatments.

How is he better than the others?

Obi is not my favorite and did not attend to my statement.
Anyway in case you later understood what I wrote up there, Obi does not frequent London for medical treatment unlike Buhari and Tinubu who visit hospital every month spending tax payers money besides Obi is a private citizen and does not spend Nigeria's money.

It is not about party but dirty and wicked rulers/leaders both past and present. If things have been working fine we wouldn't have fine ourselves in this mess

And he budgeted billions for health for 8 years and yet no hospital in his Nigeria was good enough for him?Even routine checkups had to be done abroad.we should be worshipping the oyibos every day, if not for them, we would have still been in the bush covered with leaves and selling our neighbors to survive

Mabuggi88:
We keep telling them these people are not healthy for this job (Buhari and Tinubu), they keep telling us anybody can get ill. Just look at the reason they gave. Anybody can get sick but it's Nigerians and Nigeria that suffers the burden. All because they want a tribesman to be president. It doesn't matter how fit he is or how non suitable they are.
Honestly all these tribe tribe partisanship should end in this country. Tinubu is busy sneaking from state visits to hospitals, all in the coffers of the nation. If he was sound health wise won't that extra hospital bills be used for something else?

We're all guilty of your tribe tribe partisanship including you. As you know, politics is not about who's the best, which no one knows until they get to the seat, but interest. It's about interest.

For instance, imagine a government contractor with friends in this government. What would he do? He would definitely continue to support the government bcoz politics is about interest.

Just like you guys are planning for a change of government which by implications a change of contractors.

Politics, therefore, will forever remain a game of interest.

Go to daura and do the needful.

Olamideayomide:
Sometimes I wonder whether all our leaders don't love this country with this non chalant attitude towards development of the nation either Health, economy or better infrastructure without dubious budgeting.

Imagine spending that exorbitant amount in foreign clinic when we can have one in our country.
Trust issue is our problem in this kwantiri

That's actually the truth, wicked leaders but unfortunately the masses too have to be blamed, everything to them is politics, taken sides with their afflicters

You expect him to announce his medical visits on Twitter?

A private citizen? Yes. But he is still an ex-governor who is still being taken care of by Anambra State.

which hospital does obi go to London for medical treatments?

are you now saying that obi is the standard for tinubu and buhari to follow?

if you say obi goes to London for medical treatments, is it with his money or with public funds?

how is obi still being take care of by anambra state?

To those condemning former President Muhammadu Buhari even in death, I urge you to reflect with compassion. Death is a solemn moment that transcends political divides. While you may disagree with his actions or policies, let’s honor the humanity of the man—someone’s father, husband, and leader to millions. Criticisms have their place, but in this moment of loss, let’s prioritize empathy and unity over division. Nigeria’s progress depends on our ability to heal and move forward together.

so when he was in office, how did he treat the millions of nigerians that are "someone's father and husband"?

how did he use the office for the millions of nigerians as dictated by the constitution?

how did buhari prioritise empathy and unity over division?

how did buhari ensure ngeria's progress through his ability to heal and move nigeria forward?

did he reflect upon nigerians with compassion?

how did buhari honour the humanity in every nigerian?

Defending what?
So everything PUNCH says is true?
I'm telling you £3500 is underpriced for such hospital.
I know hospitals not in the category of that hospital which are more expensive.

But still yet he died

Check your head well, do you know how many people that keeps dying daily just because of the incompetence of this politicians who doesnt even care. Last month wike said anybody that want to die should go and die because nigeria population is too much. What a ridiculous statement. You can worship the dead if you want. Nonsense

Oga Preacher sir, countries Like China, Germany and USA did Not become great nations by defending corrupt leaders, No, they codemend it to make way for growth.
You keep preaching to Nigerians to please accept corrupt Presidents for Peace to reign
Nigeria can never move farward with corrupt politicians

Actually that's very cheap compared to a night in ICU in US major hospitals.

The only thing to learn here is that money can't buy life when death comes calling. Only Jesus Christ can save. i know some will myopically go on the line of waste of money, not knowing that people pay that type of money for frivolity every other day across the globe. Also, if i am correct all past presidents have a good retirement package from the federal government which is normal all over the world.

This man has single handely ruined Nigeria and it's economy.As it stands now, no body in his family will ever look for food whether work or not.No body will force me to praise a man that I know is evil.

" I humbly beg to disagree!!
The dictum, of the dead, speak no evil (de mortuis nil nisi bonum), speaks to the courtesy expected in interpersonal social relationships and hardly applies to public leaders. If we do not speak ill of brutal dead leaders, history will be written against us. Sometimes it takes the death of an influential figure for us to properly come to terms with their impact on our lives, and it is unfair to impose the burden of silence as virtue on those already victimised. For an especially repressive man like Muhammadu Buhari, who, from Decree 4 to having various laws enacted during his supposedly civilian rule to stifle dissent, we owe it to ourselves to speak. We must not forget that someone was tried for treason for insulting Buhari. While alive, it was illegal to dissent. Now that he is dead, his apologists still want to deem criticisms of him immoral. We cannot all be lotus eaters, sleepwalking through endless cycles of amnesia and unable to be stung into an awakening despite repeated jabs of the truth.

When we criticise the dead, it is for the living. The dead cannot hear us. Even while alive, Buhari turned a deaf ear to entreaties anyway. Yet criticising him in death is a moral necessity because what we are actually doing is to confront his cohort of enablers, apologists, irredentists, and lackeys who bleated, “Sai Baba!” as Buhari eroded our national will. They are the ones quoting poorly interpreted Latin maxims because they need us to forget their role in the Buhari administration. When we speak ill of the dead, we are also confronting his successors, who continue to rule as if there is no tomorrow. If the dead body of Buhari does not humble them, why should we, the people, be the ones to reflect on the meaning of death just because a bloody tyrant died? Our leaders need to hear our unfiltered thoughts about their dead peer so they will know that they cannot force their legacy merely by naming every public monument after themselves. And yes, we must also speak ill of the dead to redress the future. When a society has been subjected to repeated assaults such as the one Buhari inflicted, it is necessary to reassert the baseline of values he eroded so that future generations know that what he represented in no way constitutes the normative standard of leadership virtues.

Buhari lived and died a hypocrite. He demanded that Nigerians live by standards he himself never kept. In 2015, he campaigned on the promise of banning medical tourism but ended up invoicing Nigeria heavily for his medical upkeep. The Nigeria he left behind was one where teaching hospitals went for months without an electricity supply. The only hospital he equipped was the Presidential Clinic in Aso Rock. Nigeria still does not have a single properly functioning public hospital, but a leech like Buhari got the best medical care until his death. When he left office two years ago, Nigeria had the highest maternal mortality in the world and life expectancy was at an all-time low of 53! His failure in health was no different from the low marks he earned in areas such as education, energy, insecurity, transport, and other critical sectors. Public morale was low. The economy dipped into recession. He campaigned on resolve but governed on indecisiveness and compromises. His administration was so incoherent that he must have removed fuel subsidies thrice.

This was a man who came into power with such a massive amount of goodwill from Nigerians, expecting new beginnings. Everyone wanted to see what he would do, and if he had pushed himself to make some reforms, he would have received cooperation across a broad generality of Nigerians. Unfortunately, Buhari was the proverbial person who looked lost while the community looked up to him. As soon as he was elected in 2015, he started giving excuses about how old age would affect his performance. This guy ran one, two, three, four times before he finally won, only to realise he was too old for the job! It took him six months to appoint ministers, and when he unveiled the list, it was just a bunch of regular guys. One would have imagined it took him that long because he was putting in strenuous effort to recruit people who had studied the country enough to understand where we should go, but no. He was just an indolent man who thought complex problems could be solved by the mere force of his will rather than a disciplined study of issues and rigorous application of principles.

Buhari was a man of whom fate promoted way beyond his mediocre intellectual and moral capacity, and he made no effort to justify the investment of providence in his life. He got to the top echelons of power pretending he was simple and “Spartan” when he was just too slothful to do anything else but just mooch off the country. He had nothing to offer the country in terms of ideas or insights, and acting as if he were self-disciplined and incorruptible was the perfect decoy. He was so steeped in his false virtues that he forgot to turn off the act even when it was no longer necessary. Up until this year, he was still lying about his lifestyle, claiming he lived off the rent he extracted from his tenants. A close acquaintance who worked with Buhari during the 2007 and 2011 campaigns told me the man did not even have a bookshelf in his house. He closed himself off to the world as it swirled around him, and the tide of history turned. Buhari was blissfully unaware of anything, and that was why his mind remained unevolved even as his body aged.

Buhari was also a man who was wicked for nothing. He inflicted pain so many times, not because he had any larger end goal he was pursuing, but simply because he derived joy in seeing others suffer. Under his watch, 350 Shiites were massacred, and Buhari said they had it coming. Not only did he let Tukur Buratai, the mastermind, complete his tenure, but he also rewarded him with an ambassadorial position. Under his watch, they killed IPOB and EndSars protesters, but he was never moved by a pain that was not his. He was practically blind to all the havoc caused by terrorist herdsmen, even as they ravaged communities in Benue State.

With all the noise he made about anti-corruption, his administration drowned in scandals. Even his wife described his administration as the “citadel of corruption”.

Buhari’s economically enervating policies sapped life out of Nigerians. One of them, the ill-advised naira redesign policy, quenched lives and businesses. Buhari stoutly defended his decision to take that step until it turned out that he did not really care about the outcome that supposedly motivated the policy. That was the same way he closed the borders, not to achieve any economic goal, but simply because he needed to be seen as a tough leader.

Now that he is dead, those fortunate to see his back as he exits this world are awash in the delight that the Buhari who thought himself invincible finally submits to the burial mat. While death is a universal fate and no retribution for a man who lived to be 82, there is still some joy to be derived from outliving the person who stole from others’ lives to enrich his own".

That's over 4 billion naira in 24 months!
We haven't even talked about his constant travelling during his 8 year tenure as president!
And the current president is currently replicating his predecessor!
That 4 billion is more than enough to equip atleast 5 federal hospitals with state of the arts medical equipments!

Basicend:
That figure (the receipt) is obviously inflated by the people in-charge. So as Just to milk the govt.

If it's his family that is incurring that huge cost, they wld have killed him themselves long time ago.

Na the problem wey i get with some of una. Uninformed people blatantly displaying your lack of knowledge everywhere with reckless abandon.

That figure is more likely to have been reduced than inflated.
