What?
His time has reached, his clock has stopped.
Everyone should know that we all have our time of death.
The good you do is what you will be remembered for.
Money or position cannot stop death.
Let all politicians take note.
May his soul R.I.P.

You wonder what kind of work they do yet nothing is happening and nothing on the horizon. People should relax and do work free periods. Balance work and life.
Rest in peace sir.

Really? A thread said he is in the ICU? After all the controversy of not defecting to the coven of demons with his boss, now he has sadly gone to the great beyond. Hope it is not a conspiracy? Nothing dem no fit do. Rest on sir.

Nigeria politics. I think in recent times he has been having issues with his boss. The state house of assembly almost impeached him for not defecting to the APC. He sued them to court and the court halted the process. If not he would have been impeached. It’s well.

What equipments do they have in the FMC for emergency resuscitation?
What's the acuity level of the emergency staff in terms of emergency preparedness to interpret results?

Can they comfortably do a continuous EKG on acute cardiovascular cases and interpret results as they trickle in? They would rather write an official consult to another consultant in UPTH to come over and review ordinary EKG results.😭😭. These are same EKGs nurses interpret abroad.

when we tell them to equip these proxy hospitals, train & pay people well, they renege and laugh at us.
Anyone can slump at any time irrespective of your social class or religious affliations.
We can never get our priorities right.
We no dey hear word!
RIP to him

Make no mistake dude, there is an appointed time for everyone's death. However, you can by your own hands cut short your time. I strongly believe that today isn't his appointed time.

are you sure stress killed him? mind you he died in fmc the same facility they fail to equip.

nairalanda1:
Yes they fail a lot in equipping hospitals, but if he had a massive stroke , nothing can be done even if there was a level 5 hospital in reach

Kobicove:
What about the senator that died about two weeks ago in a hospital in the UK, was the hospital not well equipped?

na our prayer dey kill them one by one.
