Things are just too hard now in Nigeria...imagine this morning one guy in my area was begging me to buy his cat but I told him that I don't need a Cat that I don't even have Rat in my house, he said he will bring Rat in the evening.

I love Toyin Saraki

If you listen to the lady speak you will know she grew up in London

I just think the lady is a world class chick and I pray for a wife like her

Stop listening to people who are so petty to call others thieves without doing your own research

Toyin and Bukola are two silver spoon kids. You can question the source of their parents wealth or be jealous of their privilege but it is ridiculous to call them a family of thieves. The last time I checked they did not steal anything

It is not an offence to have a rich and prominent father! The most important thing is they have dedicated themselves to serve the people

hpymoment:
The pain never goes away, after I lost my boyfriend of more than 12years ( including the years of friend zoning him) on good friday to the cold hands of death, I have never been the same again. I don't think I can ever overcome it. Oh God! Death is sooo painful .

fabienjoe:
You 'lost' not 'losed' a friend...Sorry for your loss. I align myself with your prayer for the bereaved.

You're so on point.

But most times people don't always give honest accounts on issue like this for two reasons: to blackmail/ vituperate ; to garner sympathy.
Why most patients die in such critical condition, most times, is because they don't present at the hospital in a good time. The patients condition must have really gone bad before they are brought , and only little or nothing could be done at such cases.
People have forgotten that the facilities in most our tertiary health institutions are overstretched due to overpopulation.
Just last Tuesday I was in the same Accident and emergency in LUTH when a young lady was brought from Navy Hospital on account of difficulty to breathe following some injury sustained on a road traffic accident 4 days prior to presentation. This patient was kept in Navy hospital for more than 3 days without brain MRI, to at least rule out brain injury. But when the patient was in respiratory distress, she was rushed down to LUTH. She was promptly attended to , admitted, and while still taking various samples for laboratory investigations, the patient passed on. I'm sure the relatives might as well be telling people that LUTH did not handle the patient well.
Bottom line: the facilities in private institutions are overstretched and might not go round, most times, even in emergency cases; and people should bring their ill relatives to the hospital early enough to allow meaningful medico-surgical interventions.

I support you sir. A sad story really and many unfortunate issues involved. A busy hospital, a decadent system, a needy population and an unenlightened populace. People think doctors and nurses are insensitive to their plight yet a line was sited for the young man in the vehicle because there was no bedspace in the emergency room. Is that not a sign the system was overwhelmed? I cannot imagine empty beds inside and people will be walking back and forth to take care of him in the car. When LUTH ,UCH, LASUTH were built what was the population of Nigeria? In what way have we reacted infrastructure wise to the population explosion? The population of Nigeria was about 42 million when LUTH started operations but around 200m now.
By the way Local government authorities are responsible for primary and comprehensive health centres and there are no restrictions in constructing one .
A fact of life is we , all of us, will die one day, whether we are in UK, USA, or in Nigeria. We can't live forever no matter how good health care is. The unfortunate aspect is that we are loosing a lot of "savable" life's in Nigeria. And the problems causing these loses are deeper than the " doctors and nurses are wicked" mantra.

Honestly, this is so touching. I have never been this touched in a while. Nigeria health care system and facility is in shamble at the moment. Many of these doctors have forgotten the Hippocratic oath they took before they became doctors. Saving lives should be their primary focus and all cases should be considered emergency to them. I can remember vividly when I was still in Nigeria. I was rushed to the hospital one day late in the night. On getting there, the nurse that we met was pregnant and was reluctant in attending to me. She later told me to come back the following day that the doctor at duty wasn't around. She told me to go and use paracetamol that I will be OK. I was almost crying. How can Nigerians be this heartless, "I said in my mind." That was the day I knew that our lives are not safe in the hands of Nigerian medical practitioners. I went home sad that day, facing the realities of life all alone. Nigerian hospitals couldn't save my life when I needed them most.

If what just happened had been in the Western world, the doctor on duty will be charge to court. A suit will be filed against him based on his own negligence. I've even seen in an Indian movie where a doctor was given 25 years imprisonment due to some petty negligence by the doctor. It was just a common surgery that was to be conducted on a minor. Due to negligence of the mother, the child ate an hour to the operation as opposed to the conventional rule of not eating 6 hours to any medical surgery. The doctor was later told by a ward nurse but because he was on call, he was carried away. They did the operation successfully but after few minutes, the food the child ate backed up to his throat and was turned into a poison. That was how they started running helter-skelter, trying to evacuate the food from his throat "something they should have done before commencing the surgery." The child later died and all effort by the doctor to bury the case in the court of law was proved abortive by his fellow doctors and the mother of the child. Though the mother caused everything. But the doctor was the one that served the jail time. If our judiciary sector is still functioning in Nigeria, the hospital should be charged to court ASAP while the family of the deceased should also hire a human right activist.
