Tiannah Calls Out Euracare Hospital Over Alleged Medical Negligence and Life-Altering Complications


Celebrity fashion designer and entrepreneur Toyin Lawani, popularly known as Tiannah and the founder of Tiannah's Place Empire, has publicly accused **Euracare Multispecialist Hospital** in Lagos of serious medical mismanagement following a spine surgery that left her with long-term health challenges.

In a series of emotional Instagram posts shared on January 11, 2026, Lawani detailed her traumatic experience at the facility, where she reportedly spent close to **₦100 million** on treatment. She claimed the surgery led to severe complications, including lung bleeding, loss of mobility in her legs, and damage to her vocal cords.

According to Lawani, she underwent multiple procedures at Euracare, including emergency reoperations. She described a terrifying incident where she was given two injections, after which her heart reportedly seized, and she struggled to breathe. Witnesses, including tagged individuals like @segun_wealth and @prettydammy2, were said to have been present during the ordeal.

''I remember a night I was given two injections & my heart seized like seriously guys I couldn’t breathe," she wrote.

Lawani further alleged that the hospital's response was inadequate, forcing her to seek help from an ENT specialist in the UK. This led to a third operation to remove a tracheostomy tube, after which she was urgently flown abroad for corrective surgery. In the UK, doctors reportedly discovered a significant lung infection and performed yet another procedure to address issues from the previous interventions.

The ordeal left her unable to walk or speak properly for an extended period. She spent two months at Euracare, followed by a month in rehabilitation, where she had to relearn basic functions like walking, speaking, bathing, and using her hands and legs. She continues to undergo therapy for speech and deals with ongoing trauma from the experience.

"This traumatic experience changed my whole entire life completely," Lawani stated. "Till today I still can't speak well or walk well... I'm still in therapy for speaking till now."

Lawani's outburst was triggered by recent allegations against the same hospital in connection with the death of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie's young son, Nkanu Nnamdi, who passed away on January 7, 2026, following treatment at Euracare. Adichie has accused the facility of negligence during routine procedures ahead of a planned medical evacuation to the United States.

Lawani called for stricter regulation of Nigeria's healthcare system, criticizing how foreign-funded facilities can operate with minimal oversight. She described Euracare as functioning more like a "business center," with many doctors not being permanent staff but visiting specialists who perform procedures and leave.

"Anybody from abroad can have money and come open hospital in Nigeria as a business & do as they wish,"** she wrote. "They will use international standard to lure clients."

Lawani vowed to pursue legal action once she regains full strength, emphasizing that her story is far from over. She urged Nigerians with health issues to seek treatment abroad if possible, warning that even high payments do not guarantee proper care.

"Everytime I say if you have health issues in Nigeria & you make it out alive just thank your stars," she added.

As of now, Euracare Hospital has not issued a public response to Lawani's specific allegations. The facility, known for its advanced diagnostics and internationally trained specialists, is currently under scrutiny following the high-profile case involving Adichie, with the Lagos State Government ordering a thorough investigation into related claims of negligence.

Lawani's detailed account has sparked widespread reactions online, with many expressing sympathy for her recovery journey and calling for greater accountability in private healthcare. She continues to share updates, promising more parts to her story in the coming days.

This situation highlights ongoing debates about medical standards, patient safety, and regulation in Nigeria's private health sector

Imagine spending almost #100 MILLION and still getting SUBPAR medical care.

Healthcare is ONE of the reasons people RUN AWAY from Nigeria.

Routine medical procedure is a cause for FASTING and PRAYER in Nigeria.

This EURACARE ( clearly stealing the branding power of Euro/Europe) is obviously the HOSPITAL of choice for rich people and celebrities YET they are still so SHITTTY.

Expensive and shittty!

Just imagine what ORDINARY Nigerians confined to government General Hospitals go through.

Those ones will tell you to buy HAND GLOVES before they even look at you.

A General Hospital is the first time in my life I'll see medical staff asking for TIPS.

Like people are sick and AFRAID and spending money on their health and some of them will NOT even make it out alive YET this CALLOUS DEATHCARE workers will put a box before them and ask for MONEY they did not earn.

MADNESS!

Back to this EURACARE matter:

Best thing to do is a CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT.
WRECK the greedy and INCOMPETENT owners.
Then the government should consider SHUTTING IT down permanently.

We are reading about the TODDLER they murdered due to NEGLIGENCE and this woman they nearly MURDERED due to INCOMPETENCE because these people have platform.

The NUMBER of people who have died because of INADEQUATE care in that hospital would be staggering.

Those ones just DON'T have a platform.

Nothing last forever.

There was a time when Nairaland.com always shove the scantily & bizzare dressed pictures of this woman down our throat.

I will wait until they respond to this complaint.
If it's false ehn, she will 'collect ' from the hospital.

This is not a #metoo campaign alone, it must be thoroughly investigated by an independent investigation team.

We await the hospital's side of the story.

God. Thank you my own sickness no dey pass paracetamol 200naira. 100 million kee

The point she said, "you can make lots of money abroad and come open hospital here..." got me. That's the sad truth. Accountability is low here, no regulation, no system to hold operators accountable for malpractices and negligence. We don't investigate to know root causes. You will hear, "e don happen, it's the will of God, in everything let's give thanks to God....." etc. That's how we create rooms for reoccurrence. Many health practitioners and hospitals should have lost their licences by now if we are doing the right thing. And leading to low mortality and increased professionalism. Because like they say "Consequences motivate BEHAVIOUR"

Even clout chaser sef go wan use the hospital shine, just one complaint and boom they start pooping up like egg in red Oil.


Anyways may God no let us see hospital problem.

Nobody reign forever

Back in blackberty days, NL no allow us rest with Toyin lawani n linda posts

General hospital and begging are like 5&6, after having my second baby there, I dropped all my gloves and cotton wool there, I took my first daughter there another time for treatment, they were asking me to go and buy cotton wool cause the doctor wants to draw out blood from my daughter’s arm for test! I changed it for them ni… the nurse now had to bring cotton wool from her drawer smh 🤦‍♀️

Good

CALL OUT EVIL ALWAYS

The system must change for good.

Euracare again?

What a terrible publicity for them

There's so much unprofessionalism and negligence in our hospitals

Medicine as a course in Nigeria is now for the children of the rich. They want all their children to be addressed as Dr. And once they offer them admission especially in private universities, they must graduate whether they know something or not; highest, money will exchange hands. Second MB is now for those who have the financial muscle. We never see anything.

People should stop keeping quiet about these fine looking hospitals that lack expertise and professionalism.

If you have spoken up earlier, may be Chimamanda's son wouldn't have fallen a victim.

she spent 100 million Naira on what procedure again?

that's why we ask some people about their bad experiences, so others will not fall victim.

but dem keep quiet or tell you forget it.
there are so many of these fine looking clinics in Lekki now but they are just bad hospitals.

Eurocare is there for your money,not for your wellbeing. You go there with headache and the billing will give heart failure. They only bill in millions and I can assure you If they have their ways you will be billed in hard currency.
No joke 2 nights there will cost you 6 to 7million plus.

Well said, the govt should start acting against such doctors and their facilities. At times we behave funny by saying "na so God want am"as in how now?

Na so o.
The first thing about surgery is that you sign a consent form.Indeed things can go wrong which any good hospital will try to mitigate.
For example,people react to anaesthetic drugs.It doesn't mean the hospital is not good if it happens or that they gave the wrong injections.
No be everything be crucify the hospital.
We need the hospital's side of the story however.

Nigerians are not ready for quality healthcare. When they're ready, everyone will join NARD in it's strike.
Till then, continue enjoying the services the country's doctors are able to provide ya

This is not nice at all. Health care providers should be dedicated and gain mastery of their job because they deal with life.

Nigerians run their own down too much. Medical negligence or issues can happen anywhere and happens everywhere.
Mind you, I am not trying to trivialise anyone's pains or negative experiences nor am I holding brief for anyone but, Dr. M referred to by Chimamanda, is one of the most kind hearted, empathetic doctors, I have ever come across in this Nigeria. Go and check out Euracare ratings on Google and see how Nigerians are praising and thanking him for good enough care and saved lives.

Still...wishing Madam Toyin speedier recovery and my condolences to Chimamanda and her family.

how do you know they are not paid ratings?

This is really sad o..

I really feel for Ngozi Chimamanda, may God console her

Na wa o

Getting sick and Getting treatment is not really what we should be scared of now

It is to get treat by profesional that will do a good job

After paying fortune for treatment

Its is not about being rich or being able to afford the so called big hospital, it is wether they will do a good job

Na wa o

Isn't that place where Joshua was treated also
